Some of the agenda items crossed paths with others during the meeting, and the recording topics don’t necessarily cover what was discussed, so we’ll attempt to highlight what was covered by the commissioners.
Trustee Maison reported she participated on a recent conference call with a representative of Cook County regarding the status of Horizon Farms. The “north” portion of the property has reopened, however some areas to the south remain closed. Also, the county has hired consultants to conduct a market analysis in August to determine how best to utilize the property.

The commission has begun to document trail crossing signs throughout the Village using a cell phone based application that maps the exact location of the signs. This will help to determine where signs may be needed based on the horse Village horse trail map. That discussion can be heard here.
Unfortunately, there was no meeting packet published for this meeting, so the trail map the commissioners discussed is somewhat difficult to follow. Considering some residents have closed their private trails, we believe the Village should publish the trail map on the Village website so that it can be accurately updated to avoid placing crossing signs where a connecting trail may no longer exist.
One resident provided public comment, and his remarks can be heard here.
