COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS - CITIZENS TO BE HEARD FLOOD: Village Manager, John Fulton Dixon, gave an update on UPDATE the effects of the flood which took place over the weekend. Mr. Dixon noted that additional garbage trucks, including many Village vehicles, were out picking up items that had been ruined by the flood. The Manager assured everyone that this flood, resulting from approximately 10 inches of rain within a 12 hour period, has caused at least 6,000 dwelling units to have water and the resulting damage. There have been over 250 trips to the dump site, which is a two hour drive round-trip. It was also noted that due to this emergency, the Village itself has incurred approximately $250,000 in costs due to additional man-hours, damage to Village property and equipment. Trustee Van Geem suggested the Village Board make funds available to flood victims at an interest rate of possibly 7% or 8% and with the funds available on a timely basis. Trustee Van Geem also suggested that the funds could possibly be obtained by adding a total to the bond issue that will be discussed later in this meeting. It was noted that preliminary discussions with the Mount Prospect State Bank and the First National Bank of Mount Prospect have indicated their cooperation and assistance in this project. FLOOD: The Mayor, members of the Village Board and the APPRECIATION Village Manager expressed their sincere appreciation TO STAFF and congratulations to the Public Works Department and other departments involved with the variety of areas of assistance afforded the residents and businessmen in the Village during this emergency flooding situation. MAYOR'S REPORT FOOD & Mayor Krause presented a proposal for a food a BEVERAGE TAX beverage tax of 2%. It was noted that the Village will be experiencing a financial short fall of AMEND CH.11 between $800,000 and $1,000,000 at the end of the current budget year, therefore alternate revenues sources must be considered in order to maintain the revenue necessary to continue offering the current level of services. It was noted that the sales tax revenue usually increases each year by approximately 7% however, year to date figures indicate the sales tax revenue is actually lower than last year. Mayor Krause explained that alternate revenue sources are the only other method of acquiring revenue without increasing the tax levy, which is collected through the real estate taxes. While an increase in real estate taxes to make up the shortfall would be a -- minimal dollar amount for single family residences, the same rate would actually place a burden on the properties classified as commercial. The Mayor stated that the 2% food and beverage tax she is proposing would distributed 1% to the General Fund and the other 1% for road improvements. The road improvements are behind scheduled, due to the reduced amount of Motor Fuel Tax Funds, resulting from lower gasoline sales due in part to smaller more energy efficient vehicles. It was also noted that the~c>~cVillage Board must decide this issue by September 9th, since the tax levy must be filed with the County Clerk by that date in order to place it on the tax bills. Trustee Wattenberg stated that he opposed taxing specific categories of business in the Village and creating a "service" tax. ~ was his suggestion that any increase be reflected in the tax levy ordinance and collected through the real estate tax bills. Trustee Murauskis opposed the proposed tax and stated that she too supported increasing the tax levy, which is deductable. Trustee Arthur stated that he was opposed to raising the tax levy, noting that increased taxes would discourage new businesses from locating in Mount Prospect. Trustee Farley stated that he supports a food and beverage tax. Trustee Floros stated that he felt the user tax or an increase on the real estate tax bill is an equal disadvantage, but would favor a 1% food and beverage tax, instead of the proposed 2%. The following residents and/or Businessmen spoke in opposition to the creation of taxes against certain businesses: Mark Busse, President of the Chamber of Commerce Liz Luxum, resident and restaurant owner Ed Miller, 131S. Kenilworth Adelaide Thulin, 4 S. Owen Dennis Miller, Mrs. P & Me Restaurant Brian Mikes, Prospect Catering Mr. Peters Banquet Hall Brian Wells, Sizzlers Steak House Discussion took place relative to this subject.
