Chairman's Report. VILLAGE CLERK'S OFFICE
-Nothing to report
OLD BUSINESS
-Alarm Room and Apparatus Floor Maps; $100 dollars for license fee paid to American Map
Corp. in Addison for the right to use their map (to have it duplicated). Purchase Order processed for
$1911.00 to Tree Town Reproduction Co. for the purchase of(5) enlarged `backlight' capable maps
and(1) laminated map for the EOC. This brought the map purchase $11.00 over. Finance stated
they could cover that. Sharp brought to the FFIB a request for the purchase of the map display
cases and the cost to run electrical power to them at $4500.00 (requested the use of the $5000.00
from the canceled Hazmat trailer heater). Board, especially the Chief felt that the switch of funds
and a `new' purchase would not go through. Per discussion board determined it would be better to
submit this item next budget.
-Audio Systems, 4 Bose radio's purchased and in the station per D. Lamka.
-Internet Service, Brian stated our options for Internet service, one being to use the Village's
network at no cost(per Village Manager this is not an option). A DSL line would start at $30.00 a
month per station for the first year, then $40.00 a month after that. The Cable modem is $42.95 a
month per station. Another option stated was to just pay for a phone line and anyone could bring in
their own computer to hook in or pay the Village for one of the existing phone lines. Board felt the
DSL option was the best. Sharp stated he was still in the process of looking into monitoring software
that would allow multiple passwords, security and administrative supervision. D/C Miller made a
motion that we would go with DSL and present to the Chief the cost, security features/restrictions,
and a policy. All in favor(8 yea's 0 nay's).
-FDIC, Only Fordon went. Not much of new equipment (for those who have been there)
-Dumbbells are here in the stations; racks are on their way.
NEW BUSINESS
-Kevin Nejedlo states (2) stability balls need to be replaced.
- Chief Goostree stated that we need to gather our items for the budget earlier and we need to
purchase those items sooner once they are approved. This is not to overload Lynn Cox in May and
to be able to fix problem sooner.
- Voting forms and the ballot box for candidates Robert R. Denna, Mark Pytlewicz, and John Kelly
will be put out for 1' Shift voting.
-Matt to look into a new TV needed at sta#10
Meeting adjourned at 2002
