Chicago Executive Airport named Reliever Airport of the Year Chicago Executive Airport (CEA) received some well-earned recognition at the Illinois Aviation Conference held May 15 in Moline, Illinois. At the event, Dr. Susan Shea, the Director of Aeronautics for the Illinois Department of Transportation, named CEA the Reliever Airport of the Year. A reliever airport like Chicago Executive serves as a landing station for planes stuck in the air during certain emergency situations, such as inclement weather. “This award speaks to the efforts of the people here at CEA who work hard every day to make this the best and safest possible airport,” said Airport Manager Dennis Rouleau. “It also speaks to the commitment and cooperation of the folks in Prospect Heights and Wheeling. This is truly a community award.” The award was based on the airport staff’s cooperation with IDOT, adherence to federal guidelines, safety record, airport improvements, involvement with the aviation and local communities and overall maintenance performance. As Rouleau put it, the award is another indication that CEA is on the right track. Bill Kearns, Ray Lang, City Mayor Nicholas Helmer, Dr. Susan Shea, “This shows that, while we continue to serve the area’s aviation transportation Village President Dean Argiris, Dennis Rouleau, Betty Cloud and Neal Katz. needs, we’re also serving as an economic engine for the region,” said Rouleau.

In the spring newsletter I wrote about the threat we were facing from library, fundraiser, business grand openings, groundbreaking events and the State of Illinois to reduce, or possibly eliminate the “Local Government emergency announcements. Since the City Hall fi re in 2006 and its complete Distributive Fund – LGDF” as one of our primary sources of revenue. Since rebuilding, the City included and equipped a dedicated AV room, from which that time, we warned in the City eNews about legislation being drafted we can record meetings and “playout” to our cable TV channels and video that would effect such changes and asked residents to contact our state providers. Last summer we purchased a professional Canon video camera, representatives expressing their opposition to such proposals.

But we all need to government hosting sites, and to a lesser extent, our City web site, Facebook, be prepared to fi ght such proposals as they may be introduced again. and Twitter. I think it is important for the City to do as much as possible to On a completely different subject, I would like to mention Prospect utilize this revolutionary technology to further utilize the resources that we Heights Television (PHTV), cable channel 17 on Comcast and Wow, and have already developed. There has been some discussion lately about the channel 99 on U-verse. Like this newsletter, it has been my passion to develop budget and cost of providing these services to the community, and I wanted communication channels that educate and inform residents about meetings everyone to know my views on the issues. I hope you agree that the AV and events put on by the City, other governmental bodies, clubs, groups department represents much more than a cost. By bringing an awareness and businesses located in Prospect Heights. To that end, we have recorded and perspective to our residents of their own community that they cannot and broadcast City Council meetings, PZBA meetings, plus park district, get anywhere else, I believe it is an investment in our future.
