homes are the locations where people are at greatest risk from fire and whereas working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported Home Fires almost in half and whereas smoke alarms sense smoke well before you can alerting you to danger in the event of fire in which you may have as little as two minutes to escape safely whereas the village of Bowling Brook residents will make sure their smoke alarms meet the needs of all their family members including those with sensory and physical disabilities whereas Village of Bowling Brook residents should test smoke alarms at least once a month and whereas residents who have planned and practiced a home Fire Escape Plan are more prepared and will therefore be more likely to survive a fire and whereas Village of Bolingbrook First Responders are dedicated to reducing the occurrence of Home Fires and home fire injuries through prevention and protection education whereas the 2024 Fire Prevention Week themed smoke alarms make them work for you serves to remind us the importance of having working smoke alarms in the home now therefore I Mary Alexander Basta the Board of Trustees of Village of Bowling Brook will and DuPage counties Illinois do hereby Proclaim October 6 through the 12th 2024 as Fire Prevention Week throughout this Village and I urge all the people of Bowling Brook to make sure their homes have working smoke alarms and to support the many public safety activities and efforts of bowling Brook's fire and Emergency Services it's a lot that's a lot to read it is right now you got to read it no so tell us a little bit we have some stuff going on too for fire prevention week right at one of our Firehouse 4 I believe yeah Firehouse 4 located 11-11 west fountain

on October 5th between hours at 10 and3 we have open house um we welcome everybody at 10 uh you can meet your uh local First Responders uh we're going to have some demonstration by our specialty teams uh you get to view to fire house it's beautiful we got some new doors some remodeling has been done um I have a table out with some smoke detectors you can sign up if you need uh some assistance either checking or installing it uh we have our community reduction team that can come out and assist you uh once again those those detectors will be free um so I have a lot of them a lot being a lot a lot as in quantity um You can call fire Administration if you want assistance with that at 630 226 854 or visit the website you can simply just enter your information there and a representative will contact you and give you an assistance with that and also if you visit us on that open house we got some light Refreshments um it's a good time so I learned something because I assisted someone in uh changing out their smoke detectors and the ones that you have are pretty cool because battery operated not that plug so you don't have to worry about that battery going beep beep beep in the middle of the night when the battery runs out very annoying right so this one is like a 10 year it's like a one and done correct I actually I just have uh a donation so I have uh both so if you need either either style I have both of them now that'll be now you tell me after I help them change it's very easy to it's very easy to install but when when are you how long are these detectors I know how long the new ones are good for they're 10 years cuz I read the directions but normally when you're in a new construction home or any home how long are you because people think if you just switch the battery and the battery works it's a good detector no

it's always it's always the general it's always going to be 10 years the newer ones are going to have a sealed uh battery and that's going to be meant just for 10 years and it's going to have an end of life regardless so 10 years is going to be that sweet spot for those detectors or if you see them going off all the time especially that one by the kitchen if you see it keep going off all the time it's time for a new one um so if you can't get to it or need some assistance again again give us a call but that that's that one that's going to give you a headache and usually that's the one that wakes you up at like 3: in the morning so they don't have to be hard not it not the new on your new construction um are all hardwired by by default um so if if you have some the goal is to have you know that's that's optimal but um we can we can work we can work with you in the inter room if if you need to replace some we can add some [Music] and I do have some of those those those wire BS so stop so you mean when the when it goes off when I when it goes off I get my cookie sheet and just do this and no that works TOS to thank you thank you so much wait wait wait because You Know Chief Le Joy's favorite time favorite time thank you next time can you do three two [Applause] one next up we have clergy day October 7th 2024 well we can never have too much prayer and we're blessed to have quite a few clergy with us this evening bowling BR is a Community of Faith with many religions represented by a large number of houses of worship in recognition of

I'm very proud to be not just the mayor of Bowling Brook but a resident of Bowling Brook so thank you to all those who made this event the success that it was appreciate it thank you madam mayor I will report briefly uh to give everyone an update regarding the Illinois American Water Company proposed rate increase uh matter that's pending before the Illinois Commerce Commission without getting too deep into the nitty-gritty a lot of the case and the issues are are hyper Technical and extremely complicated with a lot of different entities and parties that are all involved including some other municipalities other interest groups Etc long and short of it is Illinois American Water and I mean I believe a couple other water companies but mainly Illinois American Water wants to get their water rates increased uh and in order to do that has to get approval by the Illinois Commerce Commission the IC uh as you recall in July of 201 24 uh the village showed up and there were hundreds of public comments made at a forum um that expressed the real impact that the current high water rates and what in increase increased water rate will doe on individual residents and and citizens um this has been an ongoing fight against the Illinois American Waters proposed uh water rate increase which we have alleged and uh and we have labeled as an illegal rate hike uh and that is we have on behalf of the village have actually filed our our own brief um and our own our own briefings as well as joining with certain other the citizens Utility Board industrial water consumers and other Collective organizations but

we are the only municipality that is outright fighting and a complete uh we we a complete hike we do not want any hike um we don't think that they're entitled to it we think and and we've made our arguments as to why and how any increase will just be detrimental to our residents um this goes before first and administrative law judge who makes recommendation then it'll go before the entire ICC I think the key point is the job of the ICC is to set what's called just and reasonable rates and so we are making the argument and have made the argument on behalf of the village and its residents that increasing those rates is not just or reasonable um and a lot of it was very helpful I believe my understanding um to the those intimately involved in the case that the those public comments and those specific examples of how the rates are already too high um are are extremely helpful in our case and and how we're trying to present this to the IC who those Commissioners are all many from local government themselves and have sworn an oath too you know their duties in the Constitution and the laws of Illinois and have that duty to uh to do what's right so that's what we hope a lot of the other we've joined certain other parts of the hyper technical rate calculations and other parts of the of the case too but again without getting too deep into that uh the the Crocs of it and the only municipality that's totally and completely standing up to this illegal rate hike is Bowling Brook we're doing that on on the village and its resident behalf and trying to fight hard um we won't likely get it full decision until about at least December

or so but happy to report that the briefings are all filed and we're just getting ready to keep going from there thank you I'm happy to answer any questions if there are to the extent that I other other lawyers in our firm are deep into the new gritty of it but we're going to keep fighting quality of life includes water and uh I mentioned this at the last meeting ballenberg became a town Incorporated due in part to some issues they had with the water delivery and water and sewer delivery company back in the uh late 50s and early 60s so uh this is not a new situation the U there was the move to um swap assets and have the Lake Michigan water brought because there was no water table no water in the water table similar to what Joliet is going through so there's a history of this situation uh for a long time and um we we appreciate any help that we can get in getting this um hopefully resolved to in our favor in all of our residents favor thank you I'm a history book mrar oh I did want one one other thing I was reminded with the fire department here today um I've uh was aware that they presented um recognition to uh young man by the name of Nick trod for saving a life at a local restaurant a patron collapsed and and he uh arranged to also to get 911 call but also apply CPR uh until uh our extremely talented paramedics got there and were able to
