COFFEE WITH COUNCIL
Saturday, December 12, 1992
10:00 a.m.
Trustees Room, Village Hall
The Trustees convened the monthly Coffee With Council meeting at
10:00 a.m.
Those present were: Trustees George Clowes, Timothy Corcoran, Paul
Hoefert and Irvana Wilks, Village Manager Michael Janonis, Fire
Chief Edward Cavello, Police Chief Ronald Pavlock and Police
Commander Joseph Kolanowski.
Persons in attendance were past Village Trustee Ralph Arthur,
Mrs. Edward Cavello, David Schein, Andrew Schein and Frank Vlazny.
Mr. Vlazny voiced his concerns about the TIF formula as it relates
to school districts. He brought up the fact that in the state of
Illinois there are 945 school districts and Mount Prospect supports
six school districts that feed into our main High School District
#214. The Trustees present explained the lack of authority the
Village really has over school districts. Mr. Vlazny felt that the
Village should get more involved in attempting to look closer at
a unit school district system. A general informational discussion
followed.
Colonel Arthur brought forth concerns about the current cable
system and wanted to know when they would be eliminating the cable
box residents are required to have in their homes. Village Manager
Janonis explained that this has been a point of discussion with
TCI. He assured Colonel Arthur that staff has been intricately
involved with TCI relative to this issue and other problems
concerning our current cable system.
Mr. Schein wanted to express appreciation to the Mayor and Board
of Trustees for their extensive review of the current garbage
program and was quite pleased that the garbage program will remain
the same. He also thanked the Trustees for their careful review
of the requests by Catholic Charities for housing in the TIF
district. Trustees present then asked the Village Manager for
additional information on TIF financing, and a general discussion
was held about various programs relative to tax increment
financing.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:20 a.m. , at which time the Trustees
then toured the Police and Fire Headquarters with the Village
Manager, the Police and Fire Chiefs, Colonel Arthur and Mrs.
Cavello. They were brought up to date by Project Director Joe
Kolanowski on the status of the facility. The tour ended at 12:30
p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
