EXECUTIVE SESSION
FEBRUARY 12, 1991
The Executive Session was called to order at 12:09 a.m., in the second floor Conference
Room of the Senior Citizens Center, 50 South Emerson Street, for the purpose of
discussing potential litigation, personnel and collective bargaining. Present at the
Executive Session were: Mayor Gerald Farley; Trustees Ralph Arthur, Mark Busse,
Timothy Corcoran, George Van Geem and Don Weibel. Absent from the Executive
Session was Trustee Leo Floros. Also present were Village Manager John Dixon and
Village Attorney Buzz Hill.
The first item of discussion under Potential Litigation concerned letters and comments
made by property owners on North Pine in regards to occupancy of a house. The Board
concurred that Temporary Occupancy would be consistent with past Village practice.
The second item which was discussed was a concern that a resident had raised about a
Building Inspector. The licensing of this individual was reviewed as well as the
requirements that he requested the contractor do at this respective house. The Board
concurred that the action taken by the Inspector was appropriate.
The third item was response to litigation of the Artfield Builders' Case. Attorney Hill
indicated that we still have not heard the Judge's decision concerning this matter which
is approximately one month past the final Court date.
The fourth item of discussion was the Disconnect Suit and Snuggery. The Snuggery has
responded to the last communication from the Village attorney indicating they are not
interested in exploring further discussions at this time for settlement purposes.
The fifth item that was discussed was the matter of the Fire Wage Committee
Agreement. The Village Manager brought the Board up to date on the discussions that
have been held with the Fire Wage Committee and indicated there was a tentative
agreement for an across-the-board salary increase of 5% in the first year; 4-1/2% the
second year and 4-1/2% in the third year with some modifications to Certification pays
for Firefighters who obtain the State Certification.
..
In addition, the Agreement calls for recognizing seven (7) Holidays instead of the existing
eight (8) Holidays that are recognized in the Fire Department by eliminating the day
after Thanksgiving and modifying the amount of money that is paid for Firefighters who
are on duty. The Firefighters also agreed to allow the Foreign Fire Insurance monies
that are collected to come directly to the Village Treasurer. They also agreed to a 10%
medical premium cost up to the same dollar maximums as the Public Warks' union has
agreed to. They also have agreed to a Drug Testing Program when appropriate. Ali
other matters to be discussed were given an opportunity to be discussed by the Wage
Committee and they had no further matters to add to the contract and they again offered
unfettered discretion to the Village for any other matters that should come forward.
The Executive Session was adjourned at 12:50 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
~~:.~
