years as Village Manager. He highlighted Paul's professionalism, and
leadership; his offer to allow the Village to use Park District property as a

Charles following the tornado that hit Lombard several years even though
the Park District was addressing their own issues including the loss of
fifty trees from the storm; Paul's outreach to a local pharmacy at the peak
in COVID to be able to offer COVID vaccines to residents; his mutual
respect for other agencies and their needs and the close working
relationships that have been formed; the accomplishments that Paul and

VI. Committee Reports
Community Promotion & Tourism - Trustee Bernie Dudek, Chairperson
Trustee Bernie Dudek, Chairperson of the Community Promotion &
Tourism Committee, noted the following:
Tonight I will be submitting 3 names to fill vacancies on the Community
Promotion and Tourism Committee. I want to not only share my
enthusiasm in welcoming these new volunteers, but to also recognize that
I found myself in the enviable position of having more qualified
candidates than positions to fill. The unfortunate reality is that I could not
offer everyone a seat on the committee at this time, but I do want to
recognize just how much we all appreciate our neighbors who are eager
to volunteer their time to better our community and hope that they
continue to offer their services and make their names known.
So with that said, I just want to briefly introduce the three names I am
advancing later tonight:
Kimberly Messina - After living in Elmhurst for 30 years, Kimberly
recently moved to Lombard and has been looking for a way to volunteer
and serve her new community. Her public relations degree and career
as a corporate travel coordinator make her uniquely qualified to serve on
the Community Promotions and Tourism Committee. She has
volunteered with several different groups and is an avid bicyclist and
licensed cycling instructor. She says her time spent bike riding
throughout other communities has helped to open her eyes to new ideas
for how to attract visitors and she firmly believes “if you build it, they will
come”.
Umar Haque - Dr. Haque owns his own dental practice in Oakbrook
Terrace and he, his wife, and two children have lived in Lombard for five
years. Umar is extremely enthusiastic about volunteering with the Village
of Lombard and his enthusiasm is contagious. He enjoys a wide range
of hobbies including woodworking, laser cutting, and videography and his
ideas for improving Lombard and encouraging overnight tourism stays
are equally wide-ranging and varied.
Kayla Harger - I’m excited to say that Kayla is a bit of a unicorn. She’s
only lived in Lombard for a little over a year, but she’s extremely
interested in learning about her new community and volunteering her
time. What makes her unique is she’s a senior at Columbia University
majoring in Social Media and Marketing. She’s also interned at Yelp
where her focus was on promoting tourism in Chicago. Her youth,
energy, and focus of study make her an exciting and welcome addition to
the Community Promotions and Tourism Committee. Kayla particularly
enjoys the parks and outdoor amenities Lombard has to offer and will
Village of Lombard Page 5
Village Board of Trustees Minutes November 16, 2023
have many great ideas and suggestions for how to best showcase our
Village for other newcomers and visitors.
Community Relations Committee - Trustee Dan Militello, Chairperson
No report
Economic/Community Development Committee - Trustee Anthony Puccio,
Chairperson
Trustee Anthony Puccio, Chairperson of the Economic & Community
Development Committee, reported the following:
The ECDC recommended approval of a grant request for modifications
to the exterior façade of the commercial building at 118 West St. Charles
Road. Given weather conditions, this item is placed on tonight’s Village
Board late agenda for approval.
The ECDC recommended approval of the amended grant request for
grant funding for overhead utility line relocations at the Lombard
Veterinary Hospital site at 244 East St Charles Road. This item will be
on the December 7 Village Board agenda.
The ECDC recommended approval of a grant request for exterior façade
modifications for Punky’s at 16 S. Park Avenue. This item will be placed
on the December 7 Village Board agenda.
The ECDC recommended that the Village staff work with Counsel and
the developer of crafting a First Amendment for the Yorktown Reserve
Economic Incentive Agreement to modify various established
benchmarks and timelines, as well as providing for an amended funding
dispersal approach for the proposed greenspace. This item will be
placed on the December 7 Village Board agenda.
With the Downtown Lombard TIF District coming to an end, staff
introduced a series of code and policy amendments that will be
undertaken to close out the existing district, amend the existing TIF
programs, amend the existing Business Retention Policy and craft a new
Downtown Grant Program. This item will be further reviewed and voted
on at the December ECDC meeting .
