Cogley, Corporation Counsel Subject: Request from Elgin Community College to Rename a Section of Spartan Drive from College Green Drive to Spartan Green Drive to the New Name of Duffy Drive Attached is a letter of June 9, 2008 from Dr. David Sam, President of Elgin Community College. Such letter requests on behalf of Elgin Community College and the Board of Trustees to rename the section of Spartan Drive from the intersection of College Green Drive to the intersection of Spartan Green Drive the permanent name of "Duffy Drive". A map depicting the portion of Spartan Drive in question is also attached. As is explained in Dr. Sam's letter, the college and board wish to honor its longest serving trustee, Mr. John Duffy and his wife Ann, for their service to the college and the communities within District 509. City Council Resolution No. 99-89 provides for the procedures relating to the naming or renaming of city streets or facilities. Such procedures include the City Council conducting a public hearing. I have therefore placed the public hearing for this matter on the City Council agenda for the City Council meeting of July 9, 2008. Resolution No. 99-89 also requires that the alteration of name change of an existing city-owned facility or right of way must be approved by unanimous vote of all members of the City Council then holding office.

John Duffy Robert Getz The College and the Board wish to honor its longest serving trustee, Mr. John Duffy, Robert McBride,EdD and his wife, Anne, for their service to the College and the communities within District 509. John and Anne Duffy are no strangers to Elgin. They are long-time residents of Clare 011ayos,DC Elgin and have raised their family here. John taught at Larkin High School for 34 Diane Stredde years and Anne spent her entire teaching career in U-46. This is best evidenced by his Andrea Andrada,Study nt / election to multiple terms as trustee by the citizens of District 509. � Also, as a member or chair of the Board of Trustees Buildings and Grounds Committee, he has been intimately involved in many of the details of the extension between Spartan Drive and College Green Drive, a project covering more than twenty years. We at the College can think of no better way to honor John and Anne Duffy than with the recognition of their name on the extension between Spartan Drive and College Green Drive. For this reason we ask for your assistance, Mr. Folarin. We ask that you work with your staff and the City Council to make this hope a reality by renaming the extension between Spartan Drive and College Green Drive, "Duffy Drive." The College and the Board of Trustees thank you, your staff and the City Council, in advance, for your assistance in honoring John and Anne Duffy.
