ILLINOIS AND DUPAGE COUNTY'S TRAVEL AND TOURISM
INDUSTRY" '
One of the proposals submitted b y Governor Blagojevich is to cut the State's
tourism budget by 50 %. This proposal will affect all Illinois convention and
visitors bureaus by cutting their individual State funding by 50 %. The State of
Illinois invested $75 million in tourism in 2002. It has been estimated that $38
billion in direct and indirect economic impact was realized during this same
period. The DuPage County tourism and hospitality industry generated $1.56
billion in direct economic activity, $87.48 million in State taxes and $27 8 million
in County taxes during this time also
The Governor's proposal to cut funding by 50% comes just one year after nearly a
25% cut was made, the impact of this proposal will surely negatively affect the
State and County's tourism and hospitality industry.

2) BATH & TENNIS CLUB POOL COPING
The pool's coping; the edging that surrounds the pool and covers the pool gutters
was installed in the sixties. From decades of chlorinated water pounding against
the bottom of the coping it has started to erode. The water slowly eats away at the
bottom and in the winter the concrete weakens and cracks. After years of this, the
damage makes it to the top. The Bath and Tennis Club's pool has come to a
critical stage in a few areas that should not be ignored.
Motion by Trustee Craig, seconded by Trustee Caleel, that the Village Board
waive bidding in order for the pool to be ready in time for the Health Department
Inspection and issue a Purchase Order to Aqua Pure, 1312 Marquette Dnve, Suite
A, Romeoville, Illinois 60446 in the amount not to exceed $12,800 !to install
coping around the Bath & Tennis Pool. ROLL CALL VOTE:
