Not in attendance: Thom DaMario

Review Minutes from October 4, 2024 meeting

 • Minutes approved.

Review Public Input

 • The group reviewed feedback received through the community survey, Village Board meeting,
 Chicago American Indian Community Collaborative (CAICC) and social media
 • Patrick shared a summary of survey results, which included more than 300 responses
 o There was a broad range of responses, both positive and negative
 o More than 75 percent of respondents felt that they understood why the current seal
 was being replaced
 o The Village’s explanation of design elements, including written summary and video, was
 seen as helpful
 o Positive feedback included compliments on the design itself; the symbolism of the
 elements included; as well as the committee’s efforts to reflect Skokie’s Native history
 o Top concerns about the design included the use of “Wabskoke,” with some feeling that
 the word could be misinterpreted or could convey a negative connotation related to
 “swamp”; the design of the flame element; the color palette; and the top heaviness of
 the words included in the border
 • Marne shared that the design was presented to the Chicago American Indian Community
 Collaborative, and that it was well received by the organization’s leadership

Review updated design options based on input

 • Mary presented several design options for committee consideration that incorporated a more
 flame-like color palette, as well as different options for text to include in the border
 • Following Marne’s consultation with a Potawatomi language expert, the group determined that
 “Wabskoki” is a more accepted and preferred spelling
 • The committee discussed removing “1888” from the top portion of the border so that “Village of
 Skokie” would be centered at the top
 • The committee agreed to keep “Wabskoki” within the bottom border, but determined that
 additional education and communication would be needed
 • The committee decided to explore additional font options in place of Futura
 • Mary suggested further updating the colors by pulling in the blue from Joe Folise’s stained glass
 piece, and changing the border font to white




#623263
Determine potential dates to present final design to Village Board

 • It was determined that December 2 or 16 could be potential dates to present an updated design
 to the Village Board if a final design was agreed upon

In attendance: Maria Monastero Bueno, Jasmine Gurneau, Sheila Crumrine, Thom DaMario, Emily
England (virtual), Dick Witry, Patrick Deignan, Alex Franz, Amanda Sabri

Not in attendance: Joe Hibdon, Trustee Khem Khoeun

Review Minutes from December 18, 2024 meeting

 • Minutes approved following correction of a typo.

Review updated designs

 • Mary Fedorowski reviewed updated design options following feedback from the previous
 meeting, which included designs with Antique Olive and Minion fonts, the addition of an oak
 leaf Native applique border, several border color options, a wider base for the flame, the
 addition of “Community – Diversity – Vision” to the border, and removal of “Wabskoki” and
 “1888” from the design
 • Maria suggested having the final design professionally printed to convey the exact colors used in
 the design, as colors may vary depending on printing method or when viewed digitally
 • Jasmine asked the group to revisit the conversation from the prior meeting, in which the group
 discussed removing “Wabskoki” from the design following survey feedback. Jasmine shared why
 she felt including Native language was essential.
 • The group engaged in a discussion regarding the inclusion of Native language within the design,
 and if it was possible to do so while ensuring the broader Skokie community felt included and
 represented
 • Sheila felt it was important that the committee be able to clearly show how public input was
 incorporated into the design, and Dick shared that he felt including “Community,” “Diversity,”
 and “Vision” was an accurate and inclusive reflection of Skokie.
 • Jasmine suggested committee members reflect on what each design element means to them
 • The group did not come to an agreement on text to include within the design, and decided to
 meet again to revisit the issue on Tuesday, January 28
 • Patrick updated the group on timeline considerations, including FY26 Budget and the upcoming
 Board schedule

Next Meeting Date

 • The group set Tuesday, January 28, at noon as the next meeting date.
 • Another meeting date was tentatively set for Thursday, February 6 at 8 a.m.

Review Minutes from January 24, 2025 meeting

 • Minutes approved

Design discussion

 • Trustee Khoeun summarized the reasoning for the Committee’s recent decisions, including
 removing 1888, selecting the Minion font, and using the flame design with the wider base
 • Emily volunteered to follow up with Marne Smiley and artist Sharon Hoogstraten regarding the
 Village’s potential use of the oak leaf Native applique pattern in the seal border design. The
 Committee agreed that it was paramount to ensure that the Village went through the
 appropriate channels to determine if is ethical and legal for the Village to use the pattern in the
 design, should the committee elect to do so.
 • The group discussed options for words/text to include within the seal, including if and how to
 include “Wabskoki,” “Community,” “Diversity,” and “Vision” within the design
 • Jasmine shared her reflections on what each seal element meant to her, including the origins
 and layers of meaning of Wabskoki, and the stained glass/mosaic style as representing Skokie’s
 diversity
 • The group decided to remove the word “diversity” from the design, agreeing that Skokie’s
 diversity would be better represented through the mosaic/stained glass flame
 • Dick and Emily discussed whether the flame – as an eternal flame – adequately represented the
 Village’s future, or if additional symbolism or wording was needed within the design
 • Dick suggested including “A Community of Vision,” instead of “Community” and “Vision.” This
 would also serve as an update to “Village of Vision,” which appears on the current seal.
 • After much discussion regarding potential ways to include various text options within the
 design, the committee requested seeing three versions:

 o Option 1: Use the current design but include "Wabskoki" in the bottom border.

 o Option 2: Place "A Community of Vision" within the border at the bottom, and integrate
 "Wabskoki" into the design.

 o Option 3: Place "Wabskoki" within the border at the bottom, "Community" within the
 border on the left, and "Vision" within the border on the right.
 • Patrick agreed to share these recommendations with Mary and share updated designs at the
 committee’s next meeting on February 6
