COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: ===== PDF PAGE 21 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] Mexican oy l ” i} Cultural AV 11 208 BB Cam Center a DuPage Dear City of West Chicago, The Mexican Cultural Center was honored to again plan and hold another successful Viva Mexico Mexican Independence Day Celebration and Festival in West Chicago for the fifth year. Please find our attached reporting detailing our income and expenses for the event. Please note that thanks to community and business sponsors, we were able to hold a premier celebration that far exceeded the City’s $18,750 contribution. During the 2019 celebration, we saw record attendance at the weekend events that continue to reinforce the strong support of this celebration. For the second year, the MID celebration hosted the Midwestern Mariachi School, doubling the number of student participants this year to 100. Saturday afternoon brought a special horse dancing routine to Main Street, to help provide additional expressions of culture for visitors. The evening celebration included mariachi performances, bringing out a record crowd of 1,000 for Saturday, with many attendees from outside of West Chicago as well. It was wonderful to see the public participation on that day grow. Sunday, always a popular day, grew beyond our imaginations. It kicked off with a world-class parade followed by el Grito and the independence ceremony and ended with dancing, music and our traditional 13-foot pinata lift. Crowds were in excess of 3,000 for the day, and we cannot thank city staff and public works for helping that day go smoothly. The community truly came out for the weekend, and we had vendors and parade participants from the entire Chicagoland region, a true testament to the event as there are many locations they could spend the weekend celebrating, but they chose to be here in West Chicago. We are continually grateful for the trust of the City in allowing us to organize this event and look forward to working with City staff and the community on continuing to celebrate our culture in downtown West Chicago. We have built upon the last four years of planning and our organization’s expansion into other partnerships, including our work with COD and their launch of Frida Fest, to continue to put on high-quality events. Our dedicated board and volunteers are truly fueled by the smiles, enjoyment, and pride that is so readily seen in the public through our work. Thank you for your support and collaboration in making that possible. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about this report.

Paint transfer was visible on the windshield and the car’s a-pillars. Open beer was also noted in plain sight in the vehicle. All three individuals gave differing accounts as to how the vehicle was damaged. Two of the individuals were under twenty-one and admitted to drinking beer. The juveniles’ guardian arrived and began to argue with the third individual. The guardian provided Snapchat photos in which the third individual sent photos of beer to the juvenile asking him to come over. This third individual became loud and unruly, interfering with the ability of officers to gather statements from the other parties on scene. The third individual was arrested and transported to the Station, where he was charged with Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor and Obstructing a Police Officer. The last subject admitted to driving the vehicle and being involved in an accident at the entrance to the Timber Ridge Forest Preserve in West Chicago.

After subsequent treatment by medics, both subjects regained consciousness. Upon police arrival, one of the individuals ran out the back door. Both subjects were found to be wanted on warrants. The second subject was transported to Central DuPage Hospital to address issues prompted by admitted heroin use. A few hours later officers were advised the suspect who fled via the back door, had returned to the Mulberry Dr. location. Officers responded and observed the suspect attempting to flee the residence via an upstairs window. The suspect then opted to remain in the house, locking himself in a bedroom. Officers eventually forced entry and placed the subject under arrest for the warrants. The subject’s breathing became shallow and he lost consciousness due to the heroin use. The suspect was administered four doses of Narcan, after which he regained consciousness. The subject was transported to Central DuPage Hospital by West Chicago Fire Protection District personnel. On October 26th, Officers Rigler and Schoonhoven were dispatched to the 500 block of E. Pomeroy St. for a suspicious person. A highly intoxicated subject was located passed out in a driveway.
