- Lighting and other improvements (from Jim Gill, NCAC Representative): The time has come to update our Neighborhood Conservation Plan. The current version was written in 1980, and it reflects the priorities and concerns of the neighbors who lived here then. In the intervening 19 years, we have met some of the objectives of the plan and failed to meet others. As we move forward, we should confirm that we still have the same priorities. The update begins with a resolution from the Civic Association. The next step will be a survey of what is important to the people who live in our neighborhood. AHCA should first form a committee to consolidate the results of the survey and draft a Conservation Plan update. AHCA should then approve the update and send it to the County's Neighborhood Conservation Advisory Committee (NCAC). The updated plan will be the basis for future NCAC-sponsored neighborhood improvements. I propose the following motion: "Moved that the Arlington Heights Civic Association should undertake the update of its 1980 Neighborhood Conservation Plan in order to reflect the current priorities of the people who live in the neighborhood."
