~ MAyoR's STATE OF THE VILLAGE ADDRESS
--VILLAGE ADDRESS
Mayor Krause delivered the following State of the Village Address:
"It is with pleasure that I present this State of the Village Address to
all of you. I extend my deep appreciation to the citizens of Mount
Prospect for having given me the opportunity to serve them again
for the next four years and I know that my fellow elected officials of
this Board join with me in the same sentiment that they also are looking
forward to serving the next four years.
Four years ago in making my first State of the Village Address, I
stressed the need to emphasize responsible financial planning and
budgeting for our Village. During this four year period, the Village
Board did, indeed, place major emphasis on financial concerns and
responsible fiscal planning consumed a large portion of our time and
effort.
The primary goal over the next four years for elected officials and
adminiStrators must continue to be on the financial well-being of our
Village government. Sound fiscal growth, without placing an undue
burden on Mount Prospect citizens, is of primary importance. Sound
fiscal management, if approached twelve months out of the year, will
enable us to continue to deliver the service levels deemed to be desirable
and necessary for Mount Prospect, at a reasonable cost to the local
taxpayer.
The decade of the 80's demands that government at all levels pay closer
attention to the citizenry throughout this country that is forcefully
calling for curtailed government spending. For what is occurring
Page 4 May 5, 1981
today in Washington and Springfield, with both governments striving
to cut spending, will soon have a major impact on local goverranent.
As Washington cuts its budget, it is cutting revenues to the States.
Springfield, in turn, is proposing numerous reductions in revenue
to local governments while it scrambles to hold on to our revenues
longer as Well as to reduce revenues that would ordinarily have been
passed on the Mount Prospect. Federal and State expenditure mandates
such as pensions and environmental programs imposed on local governments,
carry no guarantee that they will be fully funded by Washington and
Springfield. Inf.l. ation amplifies the problems on the expenditure side.
Local tax limitation movements, State Legislative erosion of the local
tax base and delays by the State in revenue distribution to local governments,
squeeze the budget on the other side.
Most of the spending problems emanate from Washington and Springfield ---
not local government. With the peaking out and probable outright
loss of substantial levels of Federal aid as a result of efforts to
balance the Federal budget and with few prospects for new intergovernmental
revenues from the State, the erosion of the Real Property Tax Base
will begin to have dramatic consequences upon a local budget.
If we turn to the property tax in an attempt to maintain an acceptable
level of local services, the likelihood that the General Assembly
will enact additional property tax exemptions is significantly increased.
A Bill already pending in Springfield raise the homeowners exemption
per home from $3,000 to $4,500. This Session of the General Assembly
has also seen the introduction of a number of tax limitation bills --
to put artificial ceilings on local real property taxes. This Board,
with its conservative approach to spending in the past, has recognized
the need not to place any undue tax burdens on its citizens. Any
tax limitation legislation from the Illinois General Assembly must
take into account Mount Prospect's history of fiscal conservatism
and that the majority of this Village's tax levy is not under our
direct control but dictated by other circumstances. For example,
the total tax levy on this evening's agenda involves a dollar amount
of $5,364.000. llowever, the Village's discretion applies to only $4,580,000
of that amount. Slightly over 70% of the total levy was dictated by matters
outside of this Board's control -- over $1,000,000 goes to pension
and retirement funds for municipal employees including police and
~remen; $1,000,000 was set by the Library Board; $636,000 is
budgeted for repayment of general obligation bonds; and an estimated
$1,000,000 goes for a scavenger contract set by bid. Only General
Corporate and Capital improvements present this Board with any real
possibility of adjustment.
Also, local government anticipates that the State government in order
to limit its spending will erode local government revenue even further.
There are other bills in Springfield that would freeze or reduce local
government's share of motor fuel tax, sales tax and state income tax.
The State is seeing to it that local,'not State, revenues are reduced.
This Board will not react fearfully to these challenges, but any State
imposed tax ]imitation cannot be handled as the Proposition 2½ in Boston.
It must be sensible and recognize that local governments are responsible
and accountable and the limitations must also recognize home-rule
authority. This Board will continue to take great pains to advise its
citizens of where their local tax dollars are going, since we believe we
have spent your money judiciously and can fully justify all of our
expenditures.
Although the above statements may seem to foretell a bleak future,
as government grapples with the complex questions of finances, taxes,
and service demands, let me assure you that we will not allow
Mount Prospect to slip into the mundane world of an average community.
It is a "classy"Village and will stay that way. This Board and
Page 5 l~{ay 5, 1981
Administration along with our dedicated citizen Advisory Commissions
are equal to the challenge and will work to develop and implement the
solutions needed to meet the demands of the 1980's.
With financial concern as the underpinning of all our activities, the
Board of Trustees must move forward to accelerate annexations of
unincorporated lands, not only to settle and establish our Corporate
boundaries, but to strengthen the diversification and land uses that
benefit our citizens from the revenues and employment to be gained.
The next four years will witness an emphasis on sound planning and
development throughout the Village. With the lifting of the moritorium
on zoning, the recently adopted Village Plan calls for us to take
immediate action in seven areas of concern for our entire community:
First, we must strengthen the Village's identity, through
assuring long-term stability of the neighborhoods, improved
beautification projects and expanded cultural and community
activities for all ages.
Second, we will work to support a living environment which
maintains the overall quality and character of the Village,
emphasizing its predominently single-family image and character;
to vigorously promote improvement of deteriorating housing
properties; to prevent high-density housing developments;
and to take immediate steps to lower further the density permitted
in our present ordinances.
Third, we will emphasize commercial development in order to
maintain Mount Prospect's regional significance as a retail
center while providing our residents with adequate local or
neighborhood retail facilities. We must stress programs that
encourage improvements in the conditions of older, existing
commercial buildings, promote redevelopment within selected
locations on Rand Road and Northwest Highway as well as
additional improvements in our downtown area.
Four, we shall continue to actively seek out industrial
development opportunities which will assure a diversified
economy and which complements other types of local
development. We must continue to formulate special design
and development standards to ensure that new industrial
development is compatible with the overall character of our
Village and minimize negative impact on neighboring land
uses and the environment.
Fifth, we need to improve transportation, especially public
transportation, in order t° provide a balanced system. Improved
public transportation is largely dependent on action to be
taken by the General Assembly as it relates to the RTA and
regional transportation serving Mount Prospect. However, we
must locally conceive additional ideas on community needs,
including "satellite" parking lots and local public transport
such as the mini-bus.
Sixth ,we Shall continue to maintain and improve community
facilities and services. The ~mphasis will be on adequate
public safety, water supply and distribution, sanitary and
storm sewers, Village facilities, improved services for seniors,
viable reuse of vacant school properties and increase the ability
to plan for and program public improvements.
Seventh, we must expand and improve open spac,e availability
for the leisure time needs of our residents with emphasis on
small new parks convenient to our neighborhood communities.
The Comprehensive Plan spells out in detail an implementation
Page 6 May 5, 1981
program that will lead to attainment of these goals and this
Board can approach those goals immediately through our
Committee of the Whole system starting in June.
Throughout all'of our work over these next four years, we will
be ever mindful that we must clearly recognize the valid concerns
of our citizens, and that we must be responsive to these concerns if
we are to continue to maintain community confidence and support.
In coming off a recent campaign, I again spoke and visited with many
! of our residents and picked up a very positive feeling in our citizens
: that local government does play a part in their lives. I am highly
optimistic and enthusiastic for the future of Mount Prospect. I look forward
to working with my fellow elected officials, the Village Manager, the
attorneys and all of our very fine employees.
To the Trustees, I embrace and fully support the belief that since each
one of us was elected at-large by the citizens of Mount Prospect, that
we all strive to implement all of these goals to improve our Village.
I know that our debate at times will be heated, because we all feel
strongly as to how best to serve our residents' needs. We also have
a common respect for the opinions, personalities and integrity of one
another that will continue to strengthen this Board as it has in the past.
· Although we are indeed seven truly independent officials, we ~vill
pull together to implement community goals that make Mount Prospect
better and better for all of us. "
