They will be looking to conduct a one-day training program.

2. Commissioner Schnell said there is a Design Review Board which was established to enhance the visual effect of the buildings downtown. She said she has heard questions about the Board and whether it has any effect. She would like to see that codified, and the process explained. The Chamber of Commerce, the EDC and the Downtown Management Board could look into this.

3. The Mayor said the Lions Club sponsored its 70th annual luncheon for the new school teachers coming into the Village. There were about 100 new teachers. He congratulated the Lions Club and welcomed the new teachers.

The Mayor then referred to a discussion a few months ago with Chief Ginex regarding applications for grants for cigarette education and compliance by local retailers. He said an $8,000 grant was received by the Village, and recently DuPage County received a settlement amount of $700,000 from tobacco companies to promote tobacco free communities and education.

Commissioner McConnell added that one of the members of the Partnership for a Healthier Community is from the County and involved in smoking cessation programs. A decision was made that a significant amount of the settlement will be focused on Downers Grove. The grant runs from July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001. This is a tribute to the Partnership Group for their efforts.

The Mayor said this is a good effort on the part of the Village.
