2) A correction was made to the Oct 9 minutes, in Jim MacArthur's term. He
is permanently on the board by nature of his position (fire chief) therefore,
there is no term limit for him. The minutes incorrectly list him as 2 years.
Hilda reported that as of Sept 26, 1996 the balance for the fund is:
$372,622.25. This is from an additional 1889.04 in interest added to the
original balance of$370,733.21. Hilda also reported that the new budget
instruction book will be out Friday, Nov 8, 1996.
Minutes from last 2 meetings have been sent to Village Clerk Pat Smith, as
was the meeting schedule & the Fire Tax Board officer's.
3) John Forde requested that we set up an operating account for operating
supplies. Scott Peterson suggested possibly opening an account at "Office
Max" in the village, however Jim MacArthur stated that this has to be done
via the budget process. John also stated that he had spoken to Bob Stecki and
Bob had checked with the AFFI on the acceptable item's and the
"questionable" item's from the list (schools, shoe's, nutritionist service &
pavillion membership) that where being considered for the budget process. ,
The AFF1 responded that schools and shoes are an acceptable item. Shoes as
long as they address a safety issue. Still checking on the other's.
Hilda and Jim stated that the budget draft will be due to the village manager
by Dec 17, 1996.
4) Per the ordinance governing the Board, a list of acceptable item's shall be
submitted to the Village Manager for consideration (Page 2, Section H b).
There was discussion on the acceptable item list as to how many of these
item's will be sent to the Village Manager on a preliminary list. The purpose
of this list is to let him know what the Foreign Fire Tax Board would like to
submit in the budget proposal. Item's that are not on this list have not been
eliminated from future consideration. Any item that is not submitted this year
is do to not being feasible do to time constraints for this year. These item's
will remain active on the acceptable list and considered for next year. Item's
that have been approved by the Village Manager will then be researched and
submitted in the proper budget proposal format.
Item's that have been submitted in the past as part of the fire dept. budget will
again be submitted in their proper category. If these are eliminated from that
budget, then they may be considered by the Board for inclusion in our budget.
Next meeting will continue discussion of the acceptable item's and how the
Board will go about researching them.
4) No further business and the meeting was adjourned at 8:40pm. Next
meeting Wednesday, Nov 20, 1996.
