Present at the Executive Session were: Mayor Gerald Farley; Trustees George Clowes, Timothy Corcoran, Richard Hendricks, Paul Hoefert, Michaele Skowron and Irvana Wilks. Also present were: Village Manager Michael Janonis and Assistant to the Village Manager David Strahl. Mayor Farley reviewed with Board members a memorandum from the Village Manager reviewing various sets of Executive Session Minutes, their content and whether the Minutes should be made public. Based upon Board review and discussion, it was determined that the following Minutes could be made public: November 24, 1992 December 1, 1992 December 22, 1992 January 12, 1993 January 19, 1993 August 24, 1993 October 19, 1993 October 26, 1993 November 2, 1993 December 14, 1993 January 25, 1994 Village Manager was directed to prepare the appropriate Resolutions necessary to release these Minutes. All other Minutes were determined to remain confidential pending final resolution of issues contained therein. LitiQation The Village Manager indicated that he had hoped to provide an update to Board members regarding the pending Hemphill litigation. However, the memorandum from the Village's attorneys, Pedersen and Houpt, detailing the history of the litigation was not yet available. The Village Manager indicated that as soon as the information was available, a follow-up Executive Session would be scheduled. Personnel The Village Manager reported that negotiations would soon begin with the Firefighters' Association for a new Agreement on wages, benefits and conditions of employment. The Village Manager indicated that the number one priority was to implement the existing health insurance program with the Firefighters. Other goals included a modest pay increase, no additional benefits and the possibility of limiting the availability of specialty pay. Discussion among elected officials resulted in general concurrence for those goals. It was also suggested that the Village make clear its right to contract out for services. The feasibility of going to a manning schedule other than a 24-on/48-off work schedule should be pursued. Staff was asked to look at potential cost savings by making such a change. The lack of local control over pension increases granted by the State was a topic of some discussion. It was the consensus of the Board that lack of local control put the Village at a distinct disadvantage during negotiations. It was very difficult, if not impossible, to get credit for pension increases granted at the State level. Village Manager indicated he would keep Board members apprised of the progress of negotiations. There was no other business discussed. The Executive Session was adjourned at 10:25 p.m. M EJ/rcc , . :JANru:{IS anag? .
