On Tuesday, April 10, 1984 at 7:30 p.m. there will be a public hearing to review the inter-relationship between the Federal Revenue Sharing monies and the operating budgets of the Village. 3. The Water Agency is almost 9 Million Dollars below the financing levels approved by the member communities in 1982. The Agency will consider awarding bids for the O' Hare pipeline and reservoir on the 21st of March. The contract has been awarded for the pumping station and work is underway. One large contract remains outstanding at the present time for the Barrington Road loop connection line from the tollway to Hanover Park.

The Plan Commission will have a public hearing on Wednesday, March 21 , 1984 regarding the Sixpense Inn request for a Special Use to construct a motel and restaurant. 6 - 3- 13-84 5. A report has been distributed from the Personnel Office indicating that after the first year of Self-funded Dental and Health Insurance Coverage the Village has saved $233,000. A substantial amount of that report will be distributed to the personnel in the Village to re-enforce the need for prudence in the use of medical and dental plans. 6. Notification has been received from the Cook County Department of Highways that the letting date of May 2, 1984 has been forecasted for the traffic signal and intersection improvement at Landmeier Road and Lively Boulevard. The Village has entered into an agreement with the Cook County Highway Department to share the construction cost 50%. The Manager commented that the budget process is drawing to a conclusion and there will be printouts produced. in preparation for the public hearing on Tuesday, April 10, 1984. At that point in time, it will be necessary for the Village to provide a clear statement on the inter-relationship between the Federal Revenue Sharing Funds and all other funds used by the Village. The bottom line on all of the budgets is a striking number. The overall budgets for six major purposes under the jurisdiction of the Village are presently standing at 17.8 Million Dollars. The previous budget according to the Director of Finance tabulations show those same six activities at 12.2 Million Dollars. What has to be looked at is the number of dollars not ex- pended last year, or rather the end of this Fiscal Year, which have been transferred to the 1984/85 Budgets. Those transfers represent some very substantial sums of money that will be carried over for projects which will not be completed by the end of the Fiscal Year. The General Corporate Funds show at 16.4% increase which includes the recom- mended wage and salary adjustments, modification to the paramedic pay, adjustments to the salary range, and a merit pay proposal . Also included in that is a some of money for modifying the present internal inequity of the salary plan which is called the compression problem. The Water and Sewer Fund Budget is up dramatically as there is a 1 .8 Million Dollar obligation to the Water Agency to meet the expenses the Agency is incurring for the construction of the Lake Michigan water system. In addi- tion to that there is another 1 .2 Million Dollars in improvements that have been identified for the Village to strengthen the water system. Not noted in the summary distributed earlier is the Capital Revolving Fund. The numbers in that fund remain the same with very moderate deduction of $4,000 in the bottom lines of those estimates. Simply stated there is sufficient monies on hand that can be put into a revolving fund to finance major capital expenditures over the next four years at all times leaving not less than 2.4 Million Dollars for other emergencies if they arise. A summary sheet prepared by the Finance Director is ready to be put into the final reviewed budget form. The Manager recommended authorization to prepare the final budget to be presented at the public hearing on Tuesday, April 10, 1984. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board authorize approving the budget as submitted and changed to some degree by Board action. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Unlarik, Bosslet, Chernick, Hauser, Petri , Tosto; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
