Ralph Hillenbrand of 1318 Mallard Lane, spoke. He stated that there was a
significant problem with graffiti at 701 Huntington Commons Road at Brallen. He
stated that the graffiti has been up for at least 30 days.
U111an Perlham stated that the graffiti that has been up for over 30 days needs to
be removed and possibly the 30 -day period should be reconsidered. She stated
that it is important for the Village to force the removal of graffiti by building owners.
Manager Janonis stated that there has been a large increase in graffiti recently
and the Village has had difficulty getting property owners to remove the graffiti, but
would consider recommending a shorter removal time frame.
N't SOLID WASTE CONTRACT -EXTENSION
The first question is whether to extend the contract by two years. ' Mr. Janonis
summarized the staff recommendation in which the Village Board would extend the
contract in years four and five and the 'increases in cost for years four and five
would be based on the Producer Price Index with a minimum of 4 and 1/2% and
a maximum of 7-1/2%. Arc will not extend cback to May I -but'will
extend i by nine months at the back end of the contract in year five so
it does end on January I in accordance with SWANCC rules.
Discussion of the Board - General consensus was to concur with staff
recommendation on 5-1 consensus to extend the refuse contract for years 4 and
5 (1998 & 1999).
The second question is the internal control of fee collectlion to- ensure complian
based on the requirements of the contract. One of the major changes would b
that the Village would act as the agent for the hauler whereby the haule
distributes stickers to the appropriate selling locations instead of the Village doin]
the distribution.
Discussion of the Board - General consensus of the Board was to follow the staff
recommendation whereby the Village will confinue to sell stickers as provided by
the refuse hauler.
A summary of the staff recommendation for i internal control items includ
the following: I
1. A single sticker for yard waste or excess refuse.
2. Contractor sells the stickers and keeps the proceeds from their sale,
therefore, it would eliminate the need to count stickers removed from yard
waste refuse containers, as is done now. The contractor would also
distribute the stickers to the selling locations. 11
3. The brush program will be paid through a monthly fee so the question of
verifying the number of units billed by the contractor would be eliminated.
4, Contractor will supply statistical information to the Village regarding sticker
sales, yard waste, brush and excess refuse containers.

RE* New Liquor Control Ordinances
This memo should save some time with respect to the review
of the new liquor control ordinance* I had six primary
objectives in the redrafting of this ordinance. Those objectives
are as follows:
is Make our license application requirements consistent
with our new applications.
2. Establish a new, more enforceable approach to our anti -
fighting provisions.
3,m Revisit, in the light of six months experience, our
underage drinking/parental responsibility provisions.
4* Assure that certain pertinent terminology in our liquor
control ordinance is appropriately defined.
5. Enhance the overall "comprehensibility" of the
ordinance by eliminating most of the standard legalese.
6. Establish new regulations that our recent experiences
have shown are necessary.
To those ends, most of the ordinance has been changed at
least in form and a great deal of it has received substantive
modification. The format of the ordinance has remained the same,
although some of the sections have been moved around in an
attempt to make the organization a little more logical.
I have provided to you a -draft of the proposed ordinance
that indicates by underlining all new language which is anything
more than a grammatical change. I have also indicated where any
Village Manager Mike Janonis
April 26, 1994
Page 2
words have been omitted. Additionally, in the new draft I have
made occasional, handwritten notes where I thought such might be
useful.
I have also submitted our current Chapter 13 from the
Village Code. In this document, I have attempted, by cross outs,
to show which language has been eliminated. The asterisks
indicate where there have been substantive modifications, but not
elimination, A "W" is used to show where the wording, but not
the substance, has been changed. Additionally, where there have
been changes in section numbers, I have indicated those, in
parenthesis under the existing section number. The intention is
that the new document will be read in conjunction with the old
document as this matter is reviewed. The remainder of this
memorandum will note the significant substantive changes by page
or section reference to the new document. This memo will not
refer to every grammatical change, only to those which are
substantive or the more significant formal ones. Those changes
are as follows:
Page 2 The definition of beer has 'been mo,dl'*f ied. The
definitl� of Delivery of Alcoholic Beverag,es, has, also been
tightened.
l 6 Ra,.91 e 3, We have now defined fighting. The definition of
icensee has, been enhanced.
Page 4 The definition of live music has been enhanced. I
have also added a definition o-f—the maintenance of order
1, 0 ... . ........... i ,
standard. This maintenance of order standird" 'i's the linchpin o'
our new anti -fighting provisions.
Pa,2e 4 The deflnition of live music has been changed to
Live Entertainment and has been made to include disc jockeys,
The definition of Lounge has been made more specific,,
'Page 6o Section 13,102(B) has been modified to permit a
person other than the hotel owner to hold a liquor license at a
hotel.,
Page Tr Se,ction 13.102(D) No alcoholic beverage may be sold
in Mount Pros ect unti'�I, gym' the local and state license has been

Page 7t Section 13.103 1 have taken the long list of
application requirements out of the text and substituted the
language "The application shall require such information as
determined by the Local Liquor Control Commissioner. Only
completed forms shall be considered by the Local Liquor Control
Commissioner *11 It seems to me that it is much simpler to state
in the ordinance that the application, as provided by the Local
Village Manager Mike Janonis
April 26, 1994
Page 3
Liquor Control Commissioner, must be completed rather than to
list all of the requirements. This method has the advantage of
permitting changes in the application without having to amend the
ordinance. Additionally, the application fee has been changed
from $150.00 to $200.00.
Section (B) of the 13-.103 assures that the information in
the license must be kept current.
Page 7, Section 13,103.(.C)(1) The amount of the surety bond
has been increased from $1#000 to $2,,500 to be consistent with
the change we made a few years ago raising the potential maximum
penalty that the Liquor Control Commissioner may assess from
$1,000 to $2,500. We now state that the surety company must be
acceptable to the Village.
Page 7, Section 13.103 (C),2 I have eliminated the
reference to a $12.00 fee to the FBI and simply state that the
required fee must be "paid. That way, whatever the FBI is
currently charging our police department can charge back to the
applicant.
,Page 8. Section 13,104 is completely new. The intention is
to make it absolutely clear that a management company must
possess the same qualifications as the licensee. Additionallyf
we have set a non-refundable application fee for a management
entity at $250,00, the same as for a liquor licensee because our
expenses in processing it will be the same. Additionally, each
management entity must pay a $750,.00 license or certification
fee. As we have noted there seems to be a proliferation of
management companies and' that increases the burden on our whole
liquor enforcement process. Therefore, I don't believe that the
additional $750.00 certification fee is unreasonable.
Pa e 8, Section 13,104 This is a clarification of which of
the restrictions apply to individuals and which apply to
corporations. I have also attempted to clarify the restrictions
with respect to five percent shareholders managers, officers and
directors of corporations.
Pa!3e 10, Section 13,105(8 (6This is completely new. We
ask many questions on our applTi—cation. Our current ordinance
provides no guidance to the Local Liquor Control Commissioner as
to the implications of certain answers to these questions. For
instance, one question which states, "Have you made any political
contributions to Mount Prospect Board members?" Under the
current ordinance, if a person answers "yes", what does that mean
to the Local Liquor Control Commissioner? Number (6) is an
attempt to let the Local Liquor Control Commissioner read the
entire application and make a determination based on the answers
to all of the questions.

10
4_ge 17, Section 13.109 The current ordinance requires that
the license fees be turned over to the Village Treasurer. I
changed that to Finance Department, I think its more practical
and more in keeping with what we actually do. I also tried to
make it clear that unsuccessful applicants don't get the non-
refundable application fee back. 11
Page 17, Sect ion 13.110 It is now an absolute requirement
that no license may be i-ssued until all of the application and
documentation process is completed.
,Page 18, Section 13.111(0 The very last sentence is new.
The purpose of this sentence is to assure that the Local Liquor
Control Commissioner has broad authority to require the
production of records relating to a licensed business,
'Page 18, Section 13.112 This modification is an attempt to
assure that the Local Liquor Control Commissioner has broad
authority to 'impose penalties for a variety of inappropriate
activities, not just those listed in the ordinance.
PaSle-,18, Section 13.11,2( A , A new sentence has been added
to assure that there is a mandatory fine of $500.00 for failure
to comply with any of the requirements under this ordinance.
,Page 19, Section 13,113 The transfer of license section has
been changed considerably. Our previous ordinance was deficient
in delineating those events which constitute a transfer. This
proposal is much more specific as to when a transfer occurs with
respect to individuals, corporations or partnerships.
Additionally, the language with respect to death or bankruptcy is
now more specific, especially with respect- to individuals and
partnerships. Because of our recent experience with Midwest
Liquors, I have also created new language with respect to
bankruptcies and receiverships. The last two paragraphs were
added to assure that the Local Liquor Control Commissioner will
get written notice of the death or financial insolvency of a
licensee.
Page 20, Section 13.114, Renewal of License The Courts have
long recognized th"e municipalities' right to reduce the number of
licenses available. However, we have never had any standards for
priority of reduction. The proposed draft includes such
standards in 13,114. Further, there is a new portion which will
clarify the Local Liquor Control Commissioner's right to review a
licensee's background and history of operation when the renewal
of a license is sought,
Village Manager Mike Janonis
April 26, 1994

401, The new approach eliminates the concept of presumption of
overservice. The foundation of the new ordinance placed an
affirmative responsibility on each licensee to maintain a
"peaceful and orderly business premises." I have tried to take
the guess work and ambiguities out of what peaceful and orderly
means by defining a "maintenance of order standard"". I have then
listed nine elements that may be considered by the Local Liquor
Control Commissioner in determining 'whether the mal"nten-ance of
order standard has been met by the licensee. I think this new
approach should be very workable and I will have no hesitation to
prosecute charges based on this maintenance of order standard.
As I envision a prosecution under this section, if there is a
single major fight or a series of fights at an establishment, the
police department will prepare an affidavit listing each of the
nine elements to be considered by the Mayor. This affidavit
would be introduced into evidence at the hearing as a
guideline. The police officer or officers will also be present
for the purpose of being cross-examined. If we reduce the
testimony to writing, the Mayor can then easily measure each of
the nine elements against what actually occurred.
Also,, with respect to the fighting section, fighting has
been redefined and we have made it clear that the ordinance
applies to an altercation either inside a licensed premises or
anyplace outside the premises that is owned or leased by and used
for the licensed premises.
The reporting requirements conceptually remain the same, but
there have been a number of form changes with respect to those
requirements. We previously had a mandatory suspension for
failing to meet the reporting require encs. I am recommending
that we change the mandatory suspens,3.,on to a potential suspension
with a mandatory fine of $500,00,
Page 27# Section 13.124 This permits a landlord to carry

to expressly state that the wrongful act of an employee is the
legal equivalent of the act of the owner. A further change

period of time when our roads would not be available for that
person's driving use. In the new draft, I have changed the
language to make it even more clear that our purpose is not to
encroach upon the Secretary of State's jurisdiction. I have
removed the term "driving privileges" completely. We now say
that "the person shall not be permitted, for a period of
six monthst to operate a motor vehicle within the corporate
limits of the Village of Mount Prospect," Additionally, I am
recommending a modification which further mitigates any argument
that our ordinance encroaches upon the Secretary of State's
jurisdiction. I am recommending that the restriction be changed
to say that the underage offender can't drive within our
corporate limits for the six month time period "unless
accompanied by a licensed driver over thirty years of age,"
I don't think this change reduces the impact of our penalty
scheme. In the vast majority of cases requiring the presence of
a person over thirty years of age in the automobile would assure
that the alcohol related incident will not happen again within
the six month time period. It will also still have the deterrent
effect of greatly reducing the underage offender's freedom.
A second very substantive change that I am recommending is
that we remove the reciprocity language. If you will recall, our
current ordinance states that the driving restriction will also
apply outside the Village of Mount Prospect in other
municipalities which have suspension provisions similar to
ours., my recommendation fc".. change is based on the following:
le Any attempt on our part, however laudable and
appropriate, to give this ordinance extraterritorial effect will
erode its ultimate enforceability,
2* We have discussed, cogitated over, written, rewritten,
hashedf re -hashed and refined our language on the, loss of ability
to drive within our municipal f 'tY "to the utmost degree. However,
with the reciprocity section, we 'may be re�lying on another
municipality's language that was not so carefully considered.
Such a circumstance also would erode the enforceability of the
driving restriction.
39 Shortly after we adopted our ordinance, and I think to
some extent because of the publicity our ordinance received, the
Secretary of State sent to the legislature the recommendation
that underage persons who are found to have open liquor in their
automobiles receive automatic license suspensions, While the
state-wide language is not as tough as ours, it was a huge step
forward for a state legislature that had previously refused to
consider such a sanction,

VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT 15
FINANCE DEPARTMENT
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
A
TO Michael E. Janonis, Village Manager
FROM: David C. Jepson, Finance Director i
SUBJECT: Impact of a Proposed 1993 Tax Levy Abatement on the Refuse Disposal Fund
At the April 19, 1994 Village Board meeting, Trustee Clowes suggested that use of the favorable
refuse disposal bids the Village should abate a portion of the 1993 tax levy. At that time I said that
I thought the date had passed for abating the 1993 tax levy and that the earliest time for reducing taxes
would be in the 1994 tax levy. It had been my understanding that March 31 was the last possible date
for abating the tax levy that had been filed the previous December. Nevertheless, after receiving
Trustee Clowes' memo dated April 27, 1994, 1 also confirmed that 1993 taxes can be abated up to
June 1, 1'994.
In his April 27, 1994 memo, Trustee Clowes proposed that the 1993 tax levy be abated by $300)000
and the proposed 1994 tax levy be reduced $150,000. The reduction of $450,000 over the two years
would be about the same as the expenditure reduction that was made in the 1994/95 refuse disposal
budget.
The assumption that refuse disposal revenues could be reduced by $450,000 to reflect the reduction
in expenditures is correct and is also shown in my memo of April 13, 1994, "Impact of the New Solid
Waste Contract on the 1994 - 1997 Tax Levies." However, the timing of an abatement of property
taxes is an important consideration because of the effect of the abatement on the cash flow of the
various Village funds. Cook County extends property taxes on the basis that the first installment of
the property tax bill is based on 50% of the prior year's tax bill and any difference is made up in the
second installment. As a result, any changes in the tax levies are reflected in the second installment
of the tax bill.
This means that an abatement of the 1993 tax levy will show up in the second *installment of the tax
bills that will be due in September 1994. This seems to be the right matching of tax revenues with
the budget because the second in ment of the 1993 tax levy and the first installment of the 1994
tax levy finance the 1994/95 budget. However, although a change in the 1993 tax levy does not affect
the first installment of total tax revenues for the Village, it does change the allocation among the
various levies.
For example, a $300,000 abatement of the 1993 refuse disposal tax levy does not change the total
amount of tax revenues the Village receives for the first installment, but it does affect the allocation
of the revenues between the General Fund, the Refuse Disposal Fund, the Debt Service Funds, and
Michael E. Janonis
Page 2
Impact of a Propos?t
1993 Tax Levy Abatement on the Refuse Disposal Funtl
the Pension Funds. The reason for this is because the distribution to the various funds is based on a
ratio of the amount levied for each fund to the total amount levied. An abatement of $300,000 for
the refuse disposal portion of the 1993 tax levy will reduce the first installment distribution to the
Refuse Disposal Fund by about $100,000 and increase the distributions to the other funds by the same
amount.
The effect of reducing the first in men of the 1993 tax levy to the Refuse Disposal Fund by
$100,000 would result in a fund deficit of an estimated $53,300. This would r` appropriate for
6
a fund of this type where revenues are supposed to equal expenditures, and it is especially critical
because we had a deficit balance of $47,284 in this fund as of April 30, 1993. Additionally, our
agreement with SWANCC requires that we levy adequate, taxes to cover expenditures.
Because an abatement of $300,000 would result in a deficit fund balance in the Refuse Disposal Fund
of about $53,300, 1 tried two other options to see what the impact would be. In itached Schedule
1. "Summary of Cash Flows," I have shown the effect of various abatements on the cash flow of the
Refuse Disposal Fund for 1993/94, 1994/95 5/95 - 12/95, and for 1996. The features of the various
options are identified below:
1993 Tax Levy As Filed - This model assumes that the 1993 levy will not be abated and the
1994 levy will be increased 4 % 0
Option I - This option assumes the 1993 levy will be abated $300,000 and the 1994 levy will
be reduced $150,000.
Option 2 - This model assumes the 1993 levy will be abated $150,000 and the 1994 levy will
be reduced $300,000.
Option 3 - This option assumes that the 1993 levy will be abated $175,000 and the 1994 levy
will be reduced $250,000.
These are only four possible scenarios with the range of options almost unlimited. However, I believe
these four alternatives generally represent the extent of the practical choices that can be made.
By looldng at the Excess/(Deficiency) line in each section we can get a picture of the impact on fund
balance in the Refuse Disposal Fund for the four variations. Following is a brief explanation:
1993 Tax Izvy as Filed - There is a surplus of $48,433 for 1993/94 and a surplus o
$1,058,333 over the four year period. I
Option 1 - There is a deficiency of $53,300 for 1993/94 but a surplus of $17,348 for the fou
years. i
Option 2 - There is a deficiency of $1,473 for 1993/94 and an overall. surplus of $58,348.
Michael E. Janonis
Page 3
Impact of a Proposed 1993 Tax Levy Abatement on the Refuse Disposal Fund
Option 3 - There is ,a deficien, cy of $9,975 for 1993/94 and an overall deficiency of $8,887.
I do not diink Option I (abating the 1993 levy by $300,000 and reducing the 1994 levy by $1509000)
would be good for the Village, but either Options 2 or 3, or some variation of these options, would
not have a negative impact on the Refuse Disposal Fund,
One of the other considerations that I mentioned in my memo of April 13, 1994, was that there were
increased pension tax levy requirements that would be needed in the Police and Fire Pension Funds.
This information was pointed out in actuarial valuations that were received after the 1994/95 budget
and the proposed 1994 tax levy had been prepared. To help offset these additional requirements, I
would like to see at least a portion of any reduction in the refuse disposal levy for 1994 shifted to the
pension levy. This consideration is reflected in Option 3 with an additional $51,500 allocated for
pension purposes.
To show the effects of the various options on the 1993 - 1997 tax levies, I have revised the schedule
that was included in my memo of April 13, 1994. Schedule 2 shows the effects of the first two
alternatives mentioned above and Schedule 3 shows the last two alternatives. The overall effects of
Option 3 are summarized below:
1,101 The total percentage increase in the 1993 tax levy is 2.7% rather than 5.0%, and the
percentage increase for 1994 is 3.1 % rather than 4.0 %
2. The cumulative effect on the 1993 and 1994 reductions total $1,236,524 over five years
(1993 - 1997). This is an example of the compounding effect in future years of a
reduction in prior years.
3. The *increases in the estimated 1995 - 1997 levies are linufted to 4% per year.
4. 'The 1995 - 1997 levies show "Uncommitted Allocations" of $341,523, $375,037, and
$408,919 for a three year total of $1,125,479.
The sum of the Cumulative Reductions of $1,236,524, the increase in the provision for pensions of
$51,500, and the Uncommitted Allocations of $1,125,479 is $2,413,503. This means that the Village
will be levying $2,413,503 less in tax revenues from 1993 - 1997 for refuse disposal than had been
previously estimated. Each of the alternatives can be analyzed in the same manner.
The 1993 tax levy can be abated if an ordinance would be adopted at the May 17, 1994 Village Board
meeting and is filed with the County Clerk before June 1, 199419

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael E. Janom*s, Village Manager
FROM: David C. Jepson, Finance Director CNt4
DATE: April 13, 1994
SUBJECT: Impact of the New Solid Waste Contract on the 1994 - 1997 Tax Levies
In a memo dated March 21, 1994, "Impact of the New Solid Waste Contract on the 1994/95 Refuse
Disposal Budget," it was pointed out that the 1994/95 budget totals for refuse disposal could be
reduced $455,000 from the amount originally proposed. This reduction was made possible because
the bid results for the new refuse contract were much better than had been anticipated. Additionally,
because the new contract amounts would be in effect for only nine months of the 1994/95 fiscal year,
the budget savings in future years would be even greater.
This memo is being written m' response to Trustee Clowe's-request to see the imparts of the proposed
savings on General Fund revenues,, Although it is premature to show the full, impact, on the General
Fund at this time, we canprovide an indication of the, effect, on the General Fund. If the additional
property tax revenue that would become available because of a reduced allocation for Refuse Disposal
would beput into the General Fund, I believe this would be an indication of the potential impact on
the General Fund.
TO amve at the amount, ofproperty tax, revenue that would become available, I have prepared the
ti(:)F tax levy, thepr%oq;ed 1W.4, tax levy and, the
attached scheddle *mch shows 'the actual 1,"3 p -r ,N
estimated, tax leNies fbr 1995 i- 1997. TU scheddle, shows total estimated,, 1994 - '11997levj*es, which,
have been capped at 4%, and the various tax levy allocations based on the Old Refuse Contract and
then revised tax•
levy allocations based on the New Refuse Contract. I
The various tax levy allocations are listed in the same, sequence as the priority of the allocations. For
deteM1"*J,,, the amount required for Debt, Service
example, after the total amount of the tax levy is
is allocated first, Pension requirements are second, Refuse Disposal is next and the balance is put into
owing steps were
the General Fund levy. To demonstrate how the process actually works, "the, fdU
taken to prepare the Proposed 1994 Tax Levy based on the Old Refuse Contract, M"f6mation*
1. The total 1994 levy was calculated by adding 4% to the actual 1993 levy
($890912335 + $3239637 — $89414,972).
2. The amount required for Debt Service ($1,008,139) was then allocated from
the total levy of $8,414,972.

3. The next step was to allocate $463,500 needed for Pensions from the total

4. The estimated needs for Refuse Disposal of $2,405,050 were then
subtracted.
min & ments for Debt Service,
5,61 The balance remam " g after subtracting the require
Pensions, and Refuse Disposal was then allocated to the General Fund. The
balance available was $4,538,283.
This same process was repeated to determine the various allocations for 1995 - 1997.
To show the effect of the New Refuse Disposal Contract on the tax levy allocations, I then repeated
the process with one exception. Along with revised Refuse visposal requirements for 1994 - 1997
and the same allocations for Debt Service, Pensions and the General Fund I added a line for
Uncommitted Allocations. This amount represents the difference between the Refuse Disposal tax levy
allocations based on the old contract information and the revised amounts to reflect the new contractO
Assuming that the total property tax levies for 1994 - 1997 are capped at 4 % (the increase is limit:w-f
to 4 % per year), the amounts "in line 5 , Uncommitted Allocations, represent the property tax revenues
that would be available because of the New Refuse Disposal Contract.
I realize that by using the above process to allocate property tax levies, the additional monies in line
5 of the attached schedule could be used to reduce the overal.1 tax, levim. However,, I think it is
appropriate to add a word of caution regarding these funds: 1) We are not sure how much revenue
the new revenue sources that were added 'in the General Fund will provide; 2) We just recently
received new actuarial requirements for P and Fire Pension Funds and the tax levy
requirements for these pensions have increased; 3) Additional funds will be needed in the future to
continue the Street Improvement Program; 4) Reductions 'in the property tax levy in one year have a
compounding effect on future years; and 5) Consideration could be given to set aside certain amounts
Contingency Fund to preserve the Village's abty to provide services *in the future.
The Village is fortunate to have these funds made available by the lower costs of the new refuse
disposal contract. It provides a much greater opportunity to formulate longer -range fiscal plans now
than we have had *in the past.

DATE: APRIL 27,-1994
SUBJECT: ABATEMENT OF 1993 PROPERTY TAXES
I request that the following item be added to the agenda of our May 3, 1994, Board Meeting:
- First reading of an ordinance to abate 1993 property taxes for refuse disposal
The rationale for this request is as follows:
H I
owever,, in checking this morning with the Office of the Cook ,County Clerk,, I found that the
date for abatement had not passed and in fact abatements may be filed up to June 1, 1994.
Therefore, I propose we abate the 1993 Village property tax levy by $300,000.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael E. Janonis, Village Manager
FROM: David C. Jepson, Finance Director
DATE: May 6, 1994
SUWECT: Advantages and Disadvantages of Changing the Village's Fiscal Year
During the initial discussions about "Mount Prospect 2000" you made a suggestion to review the
Village's fiscal year which runs from May 1 through April 30 to see if a calendar year would
,be more appropnate. I was hesitant at first, primarily use we would lose comparable data
that is very useful. However, the more I looked at the advantages and disadvantages the more
I realized the advantages ofchan,gin,g to a calendar year.
a ow
The most significant advantage of changing to a calendar year is the fact that the budget year
would coincide with the tax year. This means that the budget hearing and the tax levy hearing
would take place on the same date and would concentrate the decision making process regarding
tax revenues and expenditures in the same time period. Also, it would eliminate the confusion
that results from using the first installment of the tax levy to finance one fiscal year and the
second in ment to finance the next fiscal year. Attached is a summary of the advantages and
disadvantages that I could identify.
One of the other considerations that should be mentioned is that a change in the Village's fiscal
year would require a "short year,* or an eight-month year, when the change is implemented.
If the change would be made at the end of the 1994/95 fiscal year (April. 30, 1995) it would
mean that the short year would run from 5/1/95 - 12/31/95 and then 1996 would be the first full
year on the calendar year basis. This will mean that the budget process for the short year will
end April 18, 1995 and the new budget cycle for 1996 will start about the middle of July 1995.
This will require extra effort on the staff and the Village Board. A calendar showing the
expected budget dates for 5/1/95 -12/31/95 and 1/1/96 - 12/31/96 is attached.
I believe the advantages of the change to a calendar year for the Village's fiscal year far
outweigh the disadvantages and that the period of 5/1/95 - 12/31/95 would be the best time to
make the change.
I
The Village's budget year and tax levy year would coincide where the annual tax levy
would one fiscal year; i.e. 1995 tax levy would finance 1996 calendar year.
Currently, the 1st in of the tax levy fumces one fiscal year and the 2nd
installment finances the next fiscal year.
Another advantage would be that the tax levy public hearing would be held the same -time
as the budget public hearing, 11
20, Major construction projects could be bid earlier in the year because the budget amount has
been established. For example, strwt resurfacing could be bid in January rather d= May.
This would ensure an earlier starting date and completion as well as possibly
*-AV%
. lower bids.
t 3A.Nnl 0 . Ile V IS 1111"M expenditure totals would coincide with various Federal and State
wFults Oayrofl earnings, census reports,
4. Financial planning would be made easier because of a more traditional. fiscal year.
5. Changing to a calendar year would bring the Village into compliance with one of the
conditions of the SWANCC Agreement. The agreetnent requires any rnunwi,,pality that is
financing refuse collection by property taxes to have the tax levy in place prior to the start
0
of the fiscal year. This requirement is one of the covenants in the bond sale documents.
CurIrently, the Village finances the 1994/95 (5/1/94 - 4/30/95) fiscal year with the 2nd
in ment of last year's levy (1993 levy - 2nd installment collected "in September 1994)
and the I st in ment of the current year's levy (1994 levy - lst installment collected in
February 1995). If the Village's fiscal year would be the same as the calendar year, the
1995 tax levy would finance the 1996 calendar (and fiscal) year.
6. There would be a one time revenue gain *in the Water Fund and the Police and Fire
Pension
di
Funds because of the method of recorng, property tax revenue. Accounting
prinoples require property tax revenues to be recorded on a full accrual basis in enterprise
funds (Water Fund) and the pennon funds. This means that the 1994 tax levy will be
recorded in total in the 1994/95 fiscal year and the entim 1995 levy would be recorded for
the "short year." The 1995 tax levy attaches as a lien as of January 1 v 1995 even though
it "is not levied until December 1995. Accordingly, it would be recorded as revenue as of
12/31/950
7. There would be a one-time gain in vehicle license revenues of about $300,000 as twelve
months revenue would be reported for the short year. However, the additional monies
would be used to fund the street resurfacing program which should be completed prior to
the end of the short year.
There would also be a one-time gain in liquor license revenue of about $40,000. On the
other hand, there would be a decre:ase in business license fees of about $60,000. These
amounts will not have a material impact on the General Fund.
1. To change to a fiscal year that is the same as the calendar year, there would be a "short
year" of eight months to phase in the new schedule. The Village's 1994/95 fiscal year
ends April 30, 1995. It would be necessary to use a "short year" (May 1, 1995 -
December 31, 1995) to be able to start the new cycle. This would result M' a loss of
comparable data for the short year. However, one of the ways to overcome this
shortcoming would be to use two years of "actual" budget data in the future rather than
one. This means that the short budget for 5/1/95 - 12/31/95 would include 1992/93 and
1993/94 actual data; the 1996 budget would use 1993/94 and 1994/95 actual figures; the
1997 budget would use 1994/95 and 5/95 - 12/95; the 1998 budget would use 5/95 - 12/95
and 1996; and then the 1999 budget would use actual 1996 and 1997.
Another concern during the transition would be the 5/95 - 12/95 budget cycle would end
a
4/18/95 and then the 1996 budget cycle would start in mid-July 1995. This will. requm
extra effort from the staff and the Village Board.
2. The calendar year would not be as convenient for the Village's auditors use of the
time that is required for income tax clients.

DATE: May 2, 1994
SUBJECT: Employee Assisted Computer Purchase Program
During the 1994/95 budget discussions, one of the primary goals that was expressed by each
department director was the continuing computeriation of Village offices and the use of new
technology to promote efficiency. There is a significant amount of money that has been
allocated in the 1994/95 budget for new computer equipment and software as well as funds
committed to upgrade other related Village equipment.
As a part of the plan to achieve this goal during the 1994/95 fiscal year, an emphasis will be
placed on ming all Village employees to utilize the new computer hardware and software.
Our initial plans call for "in-house gaining classes on a bi-weekly basis for various periods
throughout the year. Considering all the efforts that will be made, the Village will be making
a significant investment in 'improving the skills of Village employees to help accomplish the goal
of greater efficiency and productivity.
One of the methods that has been used by many organizations to enhance employee mining
efforts in computerization is to provide a way to assist employees to acquire a home computer.
We feel this concept would be an economical way to enhance training programs and to help to
achieve greater computer productivity. One of the typical programs is to provide a no -interest
loan to the employee to purchase a home computer with the repayments then deducted from the
employee's paycheck,,
An example of how a program like this would work is outlined as follows:
1. Assume the Village has a program which reimburses an employee up to a
maximum of $2,500 for the purchase of a home computer and allows the employee
to pay the amount back over a period of 24 months with no interest.
2. Upon the presentation of a paid receipt for the purchase of a computer system and
a statement to the effect that the employee intends to utilize the computer system,
the Village would reimburse the employee for his/her actual costs up to $2,500.
Mi*chael E. JanoM*s
Page 2
Employee Assisted Computer Purchase Program
The items eligible for purchase would be limited to a personal computer, monitor,
rinter, modem, and software which is busmess related to Village operations.,
3. The employee would select the length of time in which to pay back the Village (up
to a maximum of 24 months) with a condition that any balance due at termination
would be payable in full. An employee would have to successfully complete their
pro ationary period to apply for the program.
4,4, With a payment of $48.08 per pay period, anemployee, could pay back $2,500 in
24 months .
5. This progmm would only run for 2 years; therefore, employees would have a 2
year window to apply for the program. This time frame corresponds with the
19
projected time frame for the Village -wide compute=,,tion program. Also, it is not
known how many employees might p. articipate; therefore, by li the time
ft,ame the particTants would be the ones who are most serious about computer
a -
ization.
The payment to the e would be considered a loan and financed through the General
Fund. A separate account would be established and as payments are made, they would be
Wlied against the open balance. It would not require a budget allocation because it is not
actually an expenditure, of the Village. However, the Village Board would have to approve the
Is
project expenditure and setting up the agreement for repayment.
We would recommend approval of this program,
