Trucking company wants to build in Maywood Broadview-based Mit Express eyeing 1001 W. St. Charles Rd.

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

A domestic shipping company that is currently headquartered in Broadview, and that has operations in four states, is looking to purchase a village-owned property in Maywood in order to build a domestic transportation facility.

The company, Mit Express, wants to purchase 1001 W. St. Charles Rd., from the village and build a 5,000-square-foot facility to repair and warehouse trucks and an additional 13,000-square-foot, two-story office building.

Michal Osika, the president and owner of Mit Express, said that he started his company 10 years ago and now operates in Washington, California, New Jersey and Illinois. He said that his company’s See MIT EXPRESS on page 7

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Publisher

In Proviso Township, and everywhere, 2017 was the year of Donald Trump.

The president’s election last November prompted national protests and

demonstrations that took place on his Jan. 20 inauguration and beyond.

On the eve of the inauguration, which Congressman Danny K. Davis (7th) opted not to attend, Maywood Fine Arts dancers participated in a nationwide campaign

called the “Ghostlight Project,” during which arts and theater supporters in time zones across the country gathered at 5:30 p.m. to make a pledge “to stand for and protect the values of inclusion, See YEAR IN REVIEW on page 5

Maywood trustee completes annual toy drive On Dec. 15, Maywood Trustee Antonio Sanchez, whose family owns Mariella’s Banquet Hall in Maywood, completed his annual toy drive. This year, he said, his customers donated over 200 toy s— each of which he matched, toy for toy.

Last Friday, he went to Target to purchase the remaining toys, before taking them to Lincoln Elementary and St. Eulalia Catholic Church.

“I would like to send a special shout out to the Chi City Rollers Truck club for their donations and Target for their help,” Sanchez wrote in a Facebook post. “It’s getting bigger and bigger every year! Thank you all that donated!”

On Dec. 20, Doris Galarza, who works with the Universal Prayer Tower — a designated Community Action Agency connected with the Community and Economic Development Association of Cook County (CEDA) — was on hand at the Global Business Center, 840 S. 17th Ave., in Maywood, to help clients get signed up for the Low-income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

The LIHEAP program assists low-income households with their heating bills during the winter. The Global Business Center, said its owner, Vena Nelson, still flies under the radar when it comes to people knowing that it’s a location for LIHEAP assistance.

Galarza said that someone is onsite from Monday through Friday helping low-income families sign up for assistance.

“We’re open until May 31, or until the money runs out,” she said. Eligible families should have household incomes that are below certain thresholds. For instance, a household of one person should make no more than $17,820 to qualify for the program while a

Chris-Tia Donaldson, natural hair impresario, is on to the next one Chris-Tia Donaldson isn’t a Proviso Township native, or current resident, but she was a villager for a day during an evening meeting of the MaywoodProviso Rotary Club, held Dec. 8, at Meal of the Day Café, 1701 S. 1st Ave., in Maywood.

The entrepreneur, who founded the natural hair products company Thank God It’s Natural (TGIN for short), spoke about her inspiration for starting the business and writing the book that helped launch the company.

Thank God I’m Natural: The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Natural Hair, is a #1 Amazon bestseller and described by Essence Magazine as the “Natural Hair Bible.” Donaldson sat down with teacher, activist and congressional candidate Anthony Clark and marketing guru Serita Love, both Rotarians, during a half-hour conversation that touched on a range of issues — from Donaldson’s 2015 cancer diagnosis to her recent decision to start a new company.

household of eight should make no more than $61,335, according to benefits.gov.

“For households with more than eight people, add $6,240 per additional person,” according to the website, which cautions people to always “check with the appropriate managing agency to ensure the most accurate guidelines.”

“If you don’t have any income, that’s okay,” said Galarza. “We’ll still help you.”

Galarza said that, lately, it’s become more difficult for families to apply for LIHEAP. “It used to be that someone could come in and say, ‘I don’t have income,’ and just apply,” she said. “Now, it’s getting kind of hard. You really have to show some kind of proof of income. I try to help everyone as much as I can.”

Galarza said that she also assists people with weatherization programs, adding that she hopes that a new ComEd hardship program will start offering additional assistance to homeowners starting next year.

I graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School.

When I started my first job working at a major corporate law firm here in Chicago where Barack and Michelle Obama met, despite having all these academic credentials and knowing

how smart I was, I still felt an immense amount of pressure as a black woman to straighten my hair.

At the time, I was growing out my relaxer, so my hair was in this kinky, curly state, and back then, around 2003, natural hair was really not accepted in the workplace, or so I was conditioned to believe, so as a result of that messaging I decided to where a wig for around a year.

During my first review, my boss essentially told me I didn’t have what it took to be successful at that firm. I left that experience, wore my hair natural at my next job and I never looked back. That’s how the book came to be. I wanted other women to be able to wear their hair natural as well. So, that’s also how I got the inspiration to start the company.

How did you find out about your breast cancer? (Serita Love)

I tell people 2015 was the best and worst year of my life. In March of 2015, we launched in over 250 Target stores, which was our big break as a company nationally. And nine months later, in December 2015, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was 36 at the time and I’d discovered a lump in my breast while Continued on next page

Maywood board releases 2018 board meeting calendar 2018 will be first full year without regular LLOC meetings

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Last month, the Maywood Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution establishing its regular meeting schedule for 2018. The resolution marks the first and third Tuesdays of each month as regular village board meeting dates for the 2018 calendar year.

All regular meetings start at 7 p.m. and are held inside of the village’s Council Chambers, 125 S. 5th Ave., in Maywood.

Earlier this year, the board voted to change the frequency of Legal, License and Ordinance Committee meetings. The LLOC used to be a committee of the whole that met

showering—it was maybe June or July in 2015.

I thought it was something hormonal related that would go away with time, but it wasn’t disappearing. At the urging of one of my friends from law school, I went to the doctor. When I went to the doctor, given my age and the fact that the lump was soft, she didn’t think anything of it either. It took me to get a mammogram at a very young age for them to confirm that I had cancer. It came as quite a shock. I was 36. I didn’t eat badly. I had no family history. It was a shock.

What role did being a black woman, cancer survivor, a warrior, play in your business?

(Anthony Clark)

I worked in corporate America for 10 years.

Despite having all of these credentials, I didn’t get the mentorship and sponsorship that many of my white colleagues were the beneficiaries of. I always thought how much further along in my career I would be if someone took me under their wings or advocated for me behind closed doors.

As a result of that experience as a black woman working in corporate America, I go out of my way to let people know immediately if they are off-course, what tools they need to be excellent, how to raise the bar … just constantly raising the level in our organization.

I had to teach myself how to practice law, in a certain sense. But if someone had done that for me, who knows how much further along I would be if someone had taken me under their wings.

In terms of breast cancer helping me in my business—it’s interesting. I worked so hard before the diagnosis and after the diagnosis, I eventually quit my job, say nine months after being diagnosed. But during the diagnosis, I couldn’t work as hard. I was at maybe 30 or 40 percent. Despite enduring treatment and radiation, at the end of 2016, when I was undergoing medical issues, our sales doubled and our store and door count quadrupled.

every other week. Now, it only meets on an on-call basis, instead of regularly, twice a month, as it did before.

The board is required, by the Illinois Open Meetings Act, to notify the public of its regular schedule of meetings at the beginning of each calendar or fiscal year, including the regular dates, times and places of the meetings.

If any change is made to regular meeting dates, the board is required to give at least 10 days’ notice of the change in a general circulation newspaper.

The following is the 2018 schedule of regular board meetings:

I had this giant red burn on my chest. This picture, strangely enough, has become kind of this rallying cry around the issue of disparities among black women in Chicago.

I’m now getting to the point where I’m focused on vision, culture, innovation and financing.

Do you see yourself expanding or impacting future hair trends?

We’ve got a lot of momentum going around haircare, but at TGIN, we see ourselves moving into skin care and potentially color cosmetics, which is makeup. I’m also looking into starting a new company. My passion lies in creating an ideal and turning it into something.

There’s a specific segment or product that, when you walk down the aisle, can be very intimidating to black or brown consumers.

So, we see that as an opportunity.

If you had to launch TGIN again today, how would you do it differently? (Serita Love)

I think I would have probably been a bit more forgiving of myself, and allowed myself to make more mistakes, realizing that perfect is the enemy of good enough.

The longer I’ve been in business, the more I’ve had to accept the reality that it’s not going to be absolutely perfect.

Coming from corporate law, as a woman of color, a mistake can be potentially fatal to your career. So, taking that level of perfect into the business world can hurt you. I come from a world where, if I miss something, that can be my job. So, I bring that same level of perfection to the table. If I could do it again, I’d do it a little differently.

What advice could you give to all of us who may be afraid to take the risk of making change? (Anthony Clark)

I find myself in that situation currently.

I have one company that’s taking off and doing well, but now I want to start a second company. Some people tell me, ‘Well, why don’t you just focus on this thing over here.’

So, I have that internal struggle with myself.

My advice to people who share that same sentiment is to just start and see where it goes. It’s better to fail than not to have tried at all. I think someone posted something on Instagram that said, ‘If you can’t stop thinking about it, then you have to take the risk.’

YEAR IN REVIEW Dissent rising from page 1 participation, and compassion for everyone regardless of race, class, religion, country of origin, immigration status, (dis)ability, age, gender identity, or sexual orientation.”

On the day of the inauguration, scores of Proviso Township residents took to the streets of downtown Chicago for a nationwide Woman’s March. The spirit of protest lingered, ramping up even, as Trump paraded out one draconian policy after another.

A week after his swearing-in, the president signed an executive order that immediately barred the citizens of seven majority Muslim countries from entering the United States, halted the country’s refugee program for four months and indefinitely banned Syrians from coming into the country.

Protests erupted at airports across the country, no doubt sending some Proviso Township residents to O’Hare to join in the demonstrations.

But when Trump in February “directed his administration to enforce the nation’s immigration laws more aggressively, unleashing the full force of the federal government to find, arrest and deport those in the country illegally, regardless of whether they have committed serious crimes,” according to the New York Times, the national truly became local.

Local immigrant advocacy groups such as PASO West Suburban Action put the pressure on local governments, most notably (in Proviso Township) Melrose Park, to pass sanctuary city policies that would actively prevent local law enforcement officials from cooperating with federal authorities in efforts to carry out Trump’s desires.

Melrose Park ultimately passed what they called the Trust Code, an ordinance that is a far cry from a sanctuary city policy.

The town’s Mayor, Ron Serpico, said that he didn’t want to take chances with the Trump administration’s threats to withhold federal funding from cities who did not cooperate with the federal government.

Immigrant activists said such withholding of funds was not as credible a threat as some

Village Free Press | December 27, 2017 local officials believed.

When a sanctuary city proposal crossed the desks of Maywood’s Board of Trustees, they stuck to the same strategic tact as Serpico, opting to send a letter to state and federal lawmakers urging their support for immigrants, instead of passing a sanctuary city ordinance.

In February, scores of businesses in Melrose Park closed their doors for a day and participated in a nationwide Day Without Immigrants protests.

That same month, high school District 209 declared itself a welcoming and safe district for all students, including immigrants, and laid out protocols for responding to any federal immigration officials who may come to a school looking for a student. District 89’s superintendent released a letter expressing support of immigrant students.

Local lawmakers, also expressing their support for immigrants, shared stories of students who approached administrators crying, in fear that they and/or their relatives might be deported next.

Their fears were not without reason. On Feb. 13, we shared a Daily Herald report announcing 33 people had been arrested during raids conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that month — with one arrest taking place in Melrose Park.

Members of PASO shared stories of area immigrants afraid to go drive outside for fear of a traffic stop that could lead to deportation. The organization, along with others in the township, mobilized, creating rapid response teams, holding regular informational meetings and partnering with local lawmakers, such as state Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch (7th), to pass the Illinois Trust Act, which provides further reinforcements to protect the state’s vulnerable immigrant populations.

The immigration-related crisis, for all of its harm, may also have underscored the burgeoning political power of the township’s fastest growing minority population.

Hispanics comprise around 30 percent of Proviso Township’s population, according to some statistics. There are, undoubtedly, more who are unaccounted for in the data.

Hispanics now constitute the majority in at least three of Proviso Township’s school districts. District 89’s student population is 65 percent Hispanic while Hispanics are

roughly half the population of Districts 88 and 209.

When PASO was pressuring Melrose Park to enact a sanctuary city ordinance, Samuel Valtierrez was a mainstay, and among the most vocal activists, during the public comment portion of board meetings.

Claudia Medina, a member of PASO’s board, was also a frequent guest at those meetings.

Medina, the first Hispanic woman to serve on D209’s school board, was elected in 2015.

Valtierrez was elected in April. Maria Perez was elected to the D88 board that month as well.

All of these new members have brought their intense focus and passion for immigration-related issues to their respective boards and they are, I believe, a portent of what could be the future of politics in Proviso Township sooner than most of us might anticipate.

the possibility of war …

Presidents, particularly those who belong to parties that control both houses of Congress, do have consequences. They matter to your daily lives. They have the power to take money out of your pockets and determine whether you live or die (or where you live and die). They can disrupt your daily routine, often in ways that you may not immediately notice.

Elections matter. Don’t ever say again, if you’ve said it at all, that whoever is president will make no difference to you. Presidents matter. Donald Trump is here to make sure you know that. But organizations like PASO are here to make sure you know that citizens matter, too.

CONTACT: thevillagefreepress@gmail.com

And that’s just the beginning

Trump’s roughly 1-year-old presidency has not only disrupted immigrant lives, it’s also disrupted local governments. The GOP’s tax plan that recently passed both Houses, and that the president is sure to sign, has the potential of effectively axing a federal historic tax credit that could be leveraged to attract future development opportunities to Maywood, among other deductions and incentives that have, historically, benefitted working-class neighborhoods.

We saw up close how dismissive the Trump administration’s Housing and Urban Development agency has been to local HUD officials in Maywood, who complained in August about chronically late payments and unresponsive regional bureaucrats — all, likely, the result of the slow and willful neglect of the agency at the hands of Ben Carson, who doesn’t really think it ought to exist.

There are countless more ways that Trump’s presidency will disrupt our local lives (I didn’t have space to talk about the importance of Community Development Block Grant funds to communities in the township that rely on that money to fix streets and other infrastructure in areas populated by low-income residents — the CDBG program, by the way, would be eliminated under Trump’s proposed budget).

And there’s also healthcare, income taxes,

NEWS briefs Two shot, one fatally, inside of Maywood grocery store on Dec. 19 One man is dead and a woman was hospitalized after a shooting inside of a Maywood grocery store during the early afternoon of Dec. 19, according to Maywood police.

Officers were dispatched at around 11:03 a.m. to Maywood Grocery, 1115 Madison St., in Maywood, where they discovered a man and a woman wounded inside of the establishment, according to police.

The victims were rushed to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where the man was pronounced dead. Police said at the time that they didn’t know the woman’s condition, but according to sources,

she’s in stable condition.

The victim was later identified by the Cook County medical examiner’s office as Anthony Morris, 37, of Maywood.

According to an ABC 7 Eyewitness News report, the female victim was pregnant at the time of the shooting.

“Witnesses told Eyewitness News the incident began outside the store and one of the victims ran inside to escape gunfire,” the report adds. “The gunman shot the man and a pregnant woman, who witnesses said was in line to buy lottery tickets.”

Police said that an unknown suspect fled the scene of the crime in a vehicle whose make and model is also unknown.

“There’s no motive or gun information to report at this time,” police said in a statement released on Tuesday afternoon.

During a phone interview on Dec. 21, Maywood Police Chief Valdimir Talley said

that detectives were looking for witnesses, reviewing surveillance film and canvassing the area of the crime. He said that police still had no suspects in custody.

Talley said that, despite earlier reports, he isn’t aware of whether or not the woman was pregnant, before confirming that she is in stable condition. He added that the woman was in the area with her 6-year-old son, who was unharmed.

Anyone with any information about the incident should call Maywood Police at (708) 450-4441 or (708) 450-4471.

Last Tuesday’s homicide was the 10th so far this year in Maywood, double the number of homicides in 2016, Talley said.

“It seems that violent crimes are increasing throughout the country,” Talley said, before referencing proposed concealed carry legislation that would allow people to bring in weapons from other states.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that the person or group of individuals involved in that homicide had weapons illegally,” Talley said. “Can you imagine what might occur if people were allowed to come across state lines with their weapons?”

Talley added that a community of 24,000 people “shouldn’t have 10 homicides,” saying that more emphasis should be placed on family members when it comes to seeking out solutions to violent crimes.

“It’s not the police,” Talley said. “The parents know, uncles know, aunties know, who are out there committing these violent acts. That person who assassinated that individual on 11th and Madison, who could’ve shot a 6-year-old, needs to be in prison for a long time.”

Funeral arrangements set for J.W. Scott, founder of People Cab Funeral arrangements for J.W. Scott, the founder and owner of People Cab Co., who died last week at the age of 86, have been finalized.

Scott’s visitation will take place on Friday, Dec. 22, 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Wallace Broadview Funeral Chapel, 2020 Roosevelt Rd., in Broadview.

The wake and funeral will take place on Saturday, Dec. 23, 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. respectively, at Rock of Ages Baptist Church, 1309 Madison St., in Maywood.

The interment will take place immediately following the funeral service, at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Hillside. The repast will take place at Rock of Ages Baptist Church’s fellowship hall.

D209 approves nepotism policy, teacher contract District also reset website redesign bidding process

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During the Dec. 12 regular meeting, the Proviso Township High Schools District 209 school board voted on a series of financial and policy proposals that board members had been debating over the last few months.

Board members voted unanimously on a teacher contract, the details of which had not been released by Dec. 19.

The board also voted to authorize changes to the district’s nepotism policy that would prevent anyone related to, or in business with, a sitting board member from working in the district for as long as that board member is in office, among other revisions.

The changes, introduced last month by board member Ned Wagner, who heads up the board’s Policy Committee, had provoked some debate among members, with board President Theresa Kelly and member Della Patterson arguing that the changes were unnecessary and could possibly discourage potential qualified candidates from applying to work in the district.

During the Dec. 12 meeting, Kelly said that while she understands the intention behind the policy change, she was worried that the district might “miss out on people who can make a strong, positive impact on students.”

“How would one know who is truly related to anyone? How would we [prove] that? Through ‘he say, she say,’ or word of mouth? DNA test? How do we know who is related to whom?” Kelly said. “If one is denied employment because it has been speculated that they are related to a board member, then that could result in legal action against the district.”

The board voted 6 to 1 in favor of the changes, with Patterson voting against the measure.

Website redesign search hits snag

D209’s effort to redesign its website, along with the websites used by each of its three high schools, has slowed somewhat after district officials decided not to accept any of the three bids that came in during the request for proposals process.

Three companies — Americaneagle. com, Edlio LLC, and West Interactive

Services Corporation — put in bids on the redesign project, which officials estimated could cost anywhere between $70,000 and $120,000.

Tracy Avant-Bey, the district’s director of information technology, said she and other district officials didn’t believe that the range of companies was a “good representation of the services that are available.”

Avant-Bey added that the three vendors’ costs “were vastly different.” She said the district has contacted other vendors that might be interested in applying.

“Each of the [three bidders] had software that did different things and we want to make sure that we have software that fits in our environment,” she said.

During a regular meeting in October, district officials said that a vendor could be hired by early November. According to Supt. Jesse Rodriguez, the target date for securing a vendor has been changed to sometime in February.

In October, district officials said they expected the new sites to be fully functional by May 2018, but that target date could also be pushed further out.

MIT EXPRESS New facility from page 1 Broadview facility can’t handle the volume of truck repairs that have been coming in recently.

Osika said that, in addition to engine overhauls and other truck repairs, the proposed Maywood facility would also handle quick deliveries and drop-offs for companies like Amazon.

“It’s not an easy project, but we strongly believe that partnering with you, we’ll be able to accomplish our goal,” Osika said during a Dec. 19 regular Maywood Board of Trustees meeting, where the proposal was introduced.

Sherman Jones, a former Broadview mayor and current trustee in that village, was in attendance at the meeting to vouchsafe for the company.

“I’m here in support of Mit, because their base hub is in Broadview,’ Jones said. “I want to let you know what kind of business you’ll be getting if [Osika] comes to Maywood. He has grown from starting his business out of his apartment to having [hundreds of trucks and trailers].”

Jones said that inviting Osika into Maywood would be a “great business opportunity” for Maywood, adding that the proposed St. Charles trucking facility would be “state-of-the-art.” Osika said that the facility would be open 24 hours a day.

According to buzzfile.com, Mit Express generated an estimated $6 million in sales last year and employs an estimated 45 people at the Broadview location.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Osika requested that he be granted a Class 6B tax incentive, which would allow his business to be assessed at 10 percent of market value for the first decade, and 15 percent and 20 percent of market value in the 11th and 12th years, respectively, as opposed to the typical 25 percent assessment.

He also requested to participate in the Maywood Enterprise Zone, which could yield further tax incentives, and for the village to create a new TIF district for the site on which he’s planning to build.

In addition, Osika asked board members to allow his drivers to utilize 9th Ave. to Lake St. Currently, he said, “the only way right now accessible for semi-trucks is to take St. Charles to 25th Ave.” Angela Smith, the village’s business development coordinator, said that the village would likely subdivide the land Osika is seeking to purchase in order to make it 2.99 acres at the corner of St. Charles Rd. and 9th Ave. — the last remaining, undeveloped acres of the former American Can site.

Smith said that the village would still own the land on which sits the water tower, but that Osika would not be subject to water retention regulations established by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District.

Smith added that if the deal between Mit and the village goes through, the 5,000-square-foot repair and warehouse facility could bring the village around $75,000 a year in taxes while the overall property tax bill would be approximately $150,000.

“This tax estimation is based on the neighboring five acre Cintas site, sold by the village at the height of the industrial real estate market for $235,000,” according to a Dec. 19 memo drafted by Smith and Assistant Village Manager David Myers.

“The Cintas property is two acres larger than this parcel.”

According to the memo, the village would also realize revenues generated from the sale of vehicle stickers for every truck registered to the village. Trucks over 2,000 pounds are required to purchase annual stickers that cost $60.

Smith said that the property tax estimate she referenced on Tuesday doesn’t take into account the 13,000-square-foot office facility that Mit Express is proposing to build on the site. She said that her office will generate revised estimates based on the addition of that site at a later date.

During the Dec. 19 meeting, trustee Ron Rivers said that he was concerned about how the development would affect the quality of life for residents in the area. He also pointed out that truck traffic is restricted in certain parts of the village’s downtown area.

“We have schools on 9th Ave.,” Rivers said, adding that he anticipates residents could have problems with the noise, exhaust fumes and traffic that the trucks could possibly generate.

Osika said that, although the facility would be open 24 hours a day, the truck traffic will be light.

“This site is not huge and it has limitations, so I don’t expect huge traffic there,” he said, adding that at his Broadview facility, his company has “maybe four or five trucks in during the evenings.”

Addressing concerns about exhaust fumes generated by diesel fuel, Osika said that “very soon diesel trucks will be replaced by electric trucks, it’s a matter of two or three years,” and that he is looking forward to the transition.

Osika said that the maintenance facility will be equipped with triple basins that will

prevent oil from penetrating through the concrete.

“Please put in your plan that your trucks cannot and should not be using 5th Ave. for access,” Rivers told Osika. “Right now, we have two trucking companies that sometimes circumvent that [standard].”

In January, Rivers insisted the board take steps to limit semi-truck traffic in certain areas of 5th Ave., since the trucks deteriorate the grade of the street and have, at times, been the cause of property damage.

Osika said that allowing trucks to access Lake St. and 5th Ave. could be beneficial by taking some traffic-related pressure off of St. Charles Rd. Smith said that village staff has participated in a trucking route committee facilitated by the Metropolitan Planning Council that evaluates the effectiveness of trucking routes.

“We’ll move forward working with our engineer and our neighboring communities to try to implement new trucking routes that work for our community and that dictate how trucks from O’Hare and the city move through our communities,” Smith said.

“Bellwood, Maywood, Schiller Park and Melrose Park were on that committee and we worked through a lot of those truck routes,” Smith added. “On that committee, we voiced concern that 5th Ave. is a truck route.”

The village moved to executive session on Tuesday to discuss a letter of intent related to the possible purchase of the land, the appraised value of which was not disclosed. The board is expected to hear a final presentation on the proposal at its next board meeting on Jan. 2.
