budgets tonight. Included in their budgets would be goals and objectives, as
directed by i- Board, in the funding requests related to achieving the

balanced as presented without any fund draw downs.
Public Works Director Herbert Weeks provided an overview of the Public Works
budget. He stated that the department utilizes extensive part-time employees and
contracts out over $821 000'worth of services through bid contracts, which has
minimized i of the number of full-time employees within his department.
Most of the budget that h6 has �presented is related to additional maintenance of
the Public Works infra"structure. The budget numbers reflect reallocation of the
Public Works resources to accommodate additional maintenance. The aging
infrastructure has dictated this reallocation. Among the capital items which are
included within his budget are a overhaul of the Village Hall, rebuilding of the
Senior Citizen Center parking lot and an expanded road reconstruction program.
The recent solid waste bid opening appears to be very favorable on the overall
Public Works budget for the future years,
General discussion followed in which numerous trustees and the mayor discussed
various line Items in the Public Works budget. Among the items discussed were
street maintenance, beautification funding, snow plowing and salting, street
cleaning and urban forestry.

on the service with the funding level recommended and the impact on future
service.
Mr. Weeks then provided a general overview of the Public Works Water and Sewer
Divisions. General discussion followed in which numerous trustees and the mayor
discussed various line items in the Water and Sevier funds. Among the items
discussed was the percent of water lost compared to other towns, the relining and
the repair of sewer lines and the water meter billing system. Finally, there was
also some discussion related to the cost that citizens must incur to connect service
lines to the Village sewer and water lines.
Mr. Weeks then provided a general overview of the Public Works Parking Division.
Mr. Janonis stated that the only major item which has changed this year in the
parking fund is the addition of the funds for the reconstruction of the Senior Citizen
0
Center parking. .lot. There was also some discussion relating to the timing of
closing the lots in order to repaint and repair the lots.
Mayor Farley suggested that the discussion relating to the refuse disposal fund be
deferred until the bids which came in today are analyzed. Mr, JanonLs suggested
the refuse contract be discussed at length at the Committee of the Whole meeting
on March 29, 1994.
Tnistee Wilks stated that she had requested citizens to call her to communicate
what their preference is related to waste pickup. She stated she has received
approximately 72 calls, and all except one person has requested that the refuse
pickup charge remain on the property tax.
Police Depa ent Overview, Chief Ron Pavlock provided a general overview of
the Police Department budget. He stated that 81 % of his budget is related to
personnel costs. The major changes in his budget are related to the three
additional police officers. He provided an overview of the value the three new
offices provided last year. The three new offfficers were "Instrumental in establishing
a T.A.C. unit which focuses on gang activities. Unfortunately, the unit was only
part-time, based on manpower limitations. The additional three new officers will
allow this T.A.C. unit to become full-time. All of the additional personnel will allow
for expanded, community -oriented policing activities, and the additional officers will
allow for a focus on crime reduction and allow the department to be more
proactive in scheduling of police activities. There are three capital expenditure
items which are provided in the budget. One is the automated vehicle locator
system (ARIL), the live -fire proper response simulated for deadly force training, the
purchase of four vehicles to replace four 1989 vehicles, and the purchase of an
additional marked squad car for the new police officers to utilize.
General discussion followed in which numerous trustees and the mayor discussed
various line items in the Police Department's budget with the Police Chief. Among
those items discussed were details of how community-orientedpolicing activities
relate to crime reduction increased traffic enforcement, end how the three
additional officers would be utilized. There was also general discussion relating
to the details of the AVL system and the Deadly Force Training System which had
been requested under the capital section of the budget. The Chief provided the
general details of the value of these items and the possible detriments of not
having these items available.
Resident Frank Viazny of 2103 Jody Court spoke. He stated that it is difficult to
sort out the statistics that the Police Department is using to justify additional
personnel and would like to ask why the Village could not use additional
technology to minimize future personnel cost. He also asked that the Police
Department provide information to residents on how to prevent crimes and protect
themselves so they will not be crime victims. Chief Pavlock stated that the Police
Department uses as much technological devices as it can within fiscal and legal
limitations. He also stated that the Police Department does have crimeprevention
officers and regu4arly runs, a feature about crime prevention in the Village
newsletter and on the cable 'TV' channel.

The number of sworn members of the fire department has not changed
significantly in the last twenty (20) years. The greatest growth period took
place in the early 70's to coincide with the annexation of the northeast section
of the village.
The department went from a manpower level of 35 in 1971 to 66 swor
members in 1976. Soon after that time, the manpower level declined to a total
of 63 and remained at that level until 1987 when the Fire Departmen
Administration was able to show that by hiring three (3) additiona
personnel, and not increasing the daily minimum manning level, the villag
would see a greater reduction in overtime as compared to what the additiona
personnel would cost. At this time., the manning level went from 63 to 66 .
In 1989 and in anticipation of annexing the Elk Grove Township area to th
south, the Village Board authorized the hiring of six additional personnel. A
the same time, the fire department lost the position of Administrativ
Assistant. Therefore, the manpower level went from 66 to 71. 1
The annexation agreement was contested and defeated in a court challenge.
Because of this defeat in court, the fire department now had six (6)
supplemental employees. Three of those employees were lost by attrition the
following year. The Village Board voted to retain the other three employees.
This increase in shift strength was done without lowering the minimum
daily manning level of sixteen (16).
This provided two (2) benefits; the lowering of hire -back overtime, and
providing a third person for the engine at station #14 for a number of days
during the year. The current manpower allocation is at 68.

INSPECTION SERVICES DEPARTMENT
BUILDING DIVISION
VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Building Division of Inspection Services is to review plans,
issue permits, and perform inspections on all buildings and structures in the
Village in a timely manor and to insure compliance with Village codes. Al so
to supply information and assistance concerning Village codes and ordinances
relating to the construction, repairs, alterations, and demolishing of structures
to architects, contractors, and residents.
The Building Division strives to respond to service requests promptly and to
work closely with other Village departments such as the Planning Department
concerning zoning items and rehabilitation projects; Fire Prevention BuTeau on
building and fire zone items; and the Finance Department regarding Contractor's
Business Licenses, elevator certificates and bond refunds.
,DIVISION HISTORY
The Building Division was originally a department of its own. In 1978 wit became
a Bureau within the Fire Department which also included Fire Prevention personnel.
A reorganization in 1988 created the Inspection Services Department which includes
the Building Division. Inspection services consists of the Building, Engineering
and Environmental Health Division, The Building Division works as a team to
supplement the need of Inspection Services and other departments within the
Village.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The Building Division's responsibilities are accomplished by a staff of four
full time employees. Primary responsibility of the Building Division is to review
all building plans to insure conformance with the Village Building Code and other
applicable codes, to coordinate all plan review activities with the Planning,
Public Works, Fire Prevention, Village Clerk and Engineering Division and to
perform all inspections required to assure projects are built in compliance with
the approved plans. Plans are received in Inspection Services and routed to
other departments for review and comments. The plans are reviewed for structural
validity, electrical, and plumbing concerns, prior to issuance.
Service Requests (complaints) are answered concerning construction without permits,
building failure, code violations, and contractor issues such as poor workmanship,
delays in completion of projects, current license status and reliability.
IS -SUPS
Several Eyeas of concern persist within the Building Division,
1. Cross training of all Inspectors
The cross training of our electrical, plumbing and stru)ctural inspectors must
continue. Inspectors must have some basic knowledge of each discipline in order
to make inspections more efficient. New programs such as the backflow valve
installation program required by the EPA adds work to an already overloaded staff.
2. Computers and Computer Programl
Several additional computers, a laser printer and c,amputer programs are requi red
to enhance the efficiency of the Divisionl, a BOCA plan review progrw and a permit
tracking program are necessary to keep up with the number of plans and permits
issued.
3. Radio Equipment
The Inspection Services Department is currently using the ESDA radio system and
the Public Works radio system for vehicle and pager communication with our
inspectors. The ESDA Base Station which is located in the Village Hall is an
old unit for which parts are unavailable. ESDA has moved their communications
to a combination of the new Central Dispatch and the new Fire and Police building.
The Public Works radio, system does not have the capacity to handle all our pagers.
Therefore in order 'to have contact with our inspectors in the field, we are
requesting to replace the old ESDA Base Station with a new base station that
will have the capacity to handle all of our car radios and pagers.

Maintenance and Residential Landlord and Tenant Regulations; and advises Village
Staff and the public on property maintenance, tenant/landlord, nuisance, insect,
wild ani 'ma,l, rodent control, and public health ma,tters,.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION STAFFING HISTORY
A
To reduce administrative staff . the Director of Health and Human Services was
eliminated in 1985. The secretary, inspector, and intern were transferred to
Code enforcement. The Mediator had been transferred to Community Development.
It
Under the administration of Code enforcement,, the staff was assigned to perform
Health, Fire and Housing at each occuP ancy they were assigned,. A total of 8
inspectors, Fire Department Shift Inspectors and a Di rjector s, h a red the
responsibility for the inspection of Building, Fire, Zoning, Housing, Health,,
and Service Requests.
The Department was reorganized in 1987. The Building Division and Maintenance
Inspection Division were formed. The Building Inspectors were supervised by
a B u * ilding CooEdinator. The Building Dlvisi,on wa,s respons,ible for all building
permit inspections except signs. Fire and Ho sin inspectlons, were no longer
performed by the Building Division, The Maintenance, Division was re,sponsible
for Fire, Housing, Health, Sign Code Enforcement and Service RequestsO The
Maintenance Division consisted of a Coordinator, three inspectors, and was
responsible for assigning inspections to and training of Fire Department Shift
personnel. A Deputy Chief was responsible for both divisions.
In 19,88 the res'p,onsibiliti es, of 'the department we're divided and reorganized into
its present form, All fire inspections are performed by the Fire Prevention.
The Maintenance Division was reduced to a Coordinator,, Inspector a,nd an Intern.
During this time period to the present, the functions of the Tenant/Landlord
Mediator were shifted to our division, and the interns position was replaced
with a part time person. The interns position was replaced with a part time
position to eliminate the repeated training of the intern.
During this ten year time period we have lost the assistance of the, Director
of Health and -Human Services, lost the assistance of the, Buildi, ng Inspectors
lost the assistance of -the Fire Inspectors, and assumed the res ponsibil'ity for
mediating tenant and landlord disputes with no increase in staff. The only
responsibility removed from this staff has been the garbage contract and the
service requests in residential areas related to garbage service.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION DEPARTMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The responsibilities of the Environmental Health Division are the inspection
of all food establishments, multifamily rental residential units, public swimming
pools, daycare centers, health clubs, rodent and inspect control'' on Village
1 *, wid
parkways and creeks and assisting reSI dentswith lanimal control In
addition, the division responds to service requests, fro,m the public regarding
property maintenance, nuisance, insect and ro,dent, cointroll wild animal control,
and public health matter,
MUNICIPAL ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
Internal Issues
1. Update Property Maintenance Code with provisions to establish maximum
occupancy. Current codes do not address security,, workmanship of repairs, and
does not limit occupancy as long as all persons are related.
2. Develop Multifamily Licensure Inspection Program to address and correct
problems recognized by Visions work group. The major concern will be acquiring
adequate staffing to perform the task.
This years budget contains a request for one additional housing i nspector. The
aging of the Village housing stock and especially the multifam'i ly I rental stock
has made the enforcement of our housing inspect,ion program by one inspector
impossible. The Village has 6,,272 multifamily rental units. As these buildings
w
age, the number of code, violations 'increase. Along with the increase in code
violations there is a, increase in the number of reinsipections g citatillons, issueds,
meetings with owners and property managors 5 and court times. The addit i on, of
one additional housing inspector will allow us to enforce our existing iinspection
program which includes the inspection of the exterior and common interior areas
of each multifamily rental building.
If the Village were to adopt any additional regulations for housing inspections,
such as the inspection of the interior of individu,al rental units or the inspection
of single family homes, additional inspectors would be required to implement
the program.
3. Develop programs- with existing software or purchase software to improve
efficiency of inspections.
4. Develop HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) based Retail Food
Inspection program to concentrate on those issues that protect the public's health.
5. Providing adequate space and facilities for existing and additional personnel
to perform their work.
External Issues
1. Increasing cultural diversity, and language barriers are presenting new
challenges in attaining compliance with Multifamily Licensure Inspection Program,
and Retail Foodservice Inspection.
2. Increasing Federal., State, and County mandates, and regulations are adding
additional responsibilities to the department. The most recent example has been
our efforts to maintain the existing Nuisance Wildlife animal Relocation Program,

ENGINEERING DIVISION
VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT
ENGINEERING DIVISION MISSION STATEMENT
The Engineering Division provides technical advice and professional
engineering services to the Village in connection with planning, zoning
and the execution and construction of public works and improvements
to assure that the design construction and maintenance of public and
private development improvements are in conformance with the Village's
Standards; to provide technical representation on intergrovernmental
projects such as transportation and storm water management; and to
provide staff support for the Village Safety Commission.
ENGINEERING DIVISION STAFF HISTORY
Prior to the creation of the Inspection Services Department in 1989,
the Engineering Division was part of the Public Works Department.
At that time the Engineering staff was comprised of one Director of
Engineering, two Project Engineers, three Engineering Assistants (one
also serving as traffic engineer), one full time draftsman,, one part
time draftsman and one secretary/recepti'onist. Since then the
Engineering Division staff has been reduced by one Engineering Assistant
and one full time draftsman.
The traffic engineering duties have been absorbed by one of the project
engineers. The obstacles the Division must overcome are the lack of
staffing to absorb the traffic engineering and drafting responsibilities
among the remaining staff. The traffic studies necessary to resolve
traffic issues are completed as time permits.
The CAD drafting of engineering plans and Village maps is completed
by the Project Engineer, and the two Engineering Assistants as time
is available.
Presently the staff is hard pressed to keep up with the drafting demand
of Engineering plans, exhibits and charts for other Departments,

The Engineering staff acts as coord1� * 'nato 10 r of the, Vi 11 age's
Community Rating System (CRS) Program which is part of the
National Flood Insurance Program. ActivAies imp'lemented, by
the engineering staff as part of the CRS program have resulted
in a 109 reduction in the flood insurance premiums for Village
property owners and a Class 8 rating (second best among all
Illinois communities).
Intergovernmental coordination is provided by the
Engineering Division on all types of improvements
with agencies such as:

- Construction procedures and costs
- Survey, boundary and plat information
Information on the following topics is included in the
Village newsletter on a yearly basis by the Engineering
Division.
Shared cost sidewalk program information
- Street improvement locations and schedules (when possible)
- Flood protection, flood proofing and flood safety
information
ENGINEERING DIVISION ISSUES
The Engineering Division anticipates several challenges in the near
future which may impede the staff in the execution of their
responsibilitiesO
The Engineering Division is already experiencing difficulty
in completing their required tasks due to a shortage in
personnel. The particular areas of need are as follows:
M* Traffic engineering
In the past this function was handled by an individual who also
provided construction inspection assistance. That position was
eliminated in 1992. Presently the traffic engineering is being
accomplished by a project engineer who also is responsible for
the design and construction engineering management of Village
improvement projects such as: street improvement projects, water
main improvements and parking lot improvements.
The proposed increase in the resurfacing program from about
$700,00 to over $1,000,000 and in the reconstruction program
from $400,000 to 2.5 million will leave little if any time
for traffic engineering by present staff. Although some of
the reconstruction project design will be done by consultants.
The work load, especially during construction season is
overwhelming. Traffic studies which are very time consuming
are difficult to schedule and complete. Reinstatement of this
staff position would allow prompt attention to all traffic
issues. The restoring of this position would also free up
time of the Project Engineer which would help resolve the
drafting capability shortage.
Training
Improvements in technology and engineering design and analysis
can only be utilized by a staff which keep informed of the
innovations. The Engineering Division must continue to keep
abreast of the technical advances being made in order to be
able to provide the best engineering services possible.
- 17 -
WW Village Aerial Maps
An extremely valuable resource for the Engineering staff and
man other Village departments is the Aerial maps of the Village.
The maps have many applications. They are used in presentations,
as exhibits, for flood boundry determinations, for drainage
issues, for planning purposes, in studies and in engineering
drawings. The maps the Engineering staff is currently using
were prepared in 1978. Most areas of these maps are outdated.
Developed areas such as Kensington Business Center, Brentwood
Subdivision, Village Commons Subdivision, Harvest Heights,
Courts of St. Johns, Mel as park, Old Orchard Country Club Village,
and even portions of Huntington Commons, to name but a few, are not
shown on the maps. At times these areas must be drawn on the maps.
Replacement of these maps with updated aerial maps would provide the
staff with base maps representing current conditions.
Equipment
~1 Scanner
Improvements to the Engineering Division's computer system
over the past 5 years have increased its use, efficiency and
importance in performing our engineering tasks. The divisions
computer aided drafting (CAD) system is used to produce
engineering plans, exhibits, charts, Village maps and report
graphics. A major benefit to this system would be the ability
to introduce into our system - plans, drawings and graphics
produced outside our system. Presently this can only be
accomplished by recreating or redrawing the document onto our
system. Technology exists through a scanner which would allow
electronic transfer of the document into our system. This
would save valuable staff time and create new opportunities
for producing graphics and plans and keeping our Village maps
updated. Scanning of Village plans, drawings, permits,
agreements, covenants, and certain correspondence would also
provide a means of record keeping of important Village documents.
Street Resurfacing/Reconstruction
The street resurfacing/reconstruction program is the largest
Village project the Engineering Division is involved with each
year. The Engineering Division analyzes the condition of the
streets and assesses the needs of the Villages' roadway system.
Attached is a report which presents the proposed road projects,
both resurfacing and reconstruction for this year.

HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT
1993 ANNUAL REPORT
SYNOPSIS
Executive Summary
The Village of Mount Prospect Human Services Department programs
are preventative by nature and assist Mount Prospect residents to
achieve their fullest potential. Residents who come in contact
with this department are from three basic categories. They are
residents who are society's most frail, infirmed, or vulnerable,
they are residents who need guidance and assistance in organizing
leisure time, or they are residents who have experienced an
unfortunate event in their lives and need assistance to get back on
track. A grand total of 114,079 units of services were provided to
residents, with an average of 453 individuals benefiting each day.
Recently, critical issues have been facing our residents that once
only existed in the inner-city. These issues include poverty,
language barriers, overcrowding, culture unsophistication and gang
activity. To address these and other issues, the department has
developed specialized programming such as Hispanic parents support
groups, after school mentor and tutoring programs, and community
groups to explore affordable youth activities. These programs
empower residents to find solutions to their problems.
The areas in which Human Services have involvement are quite
diverse and on the surface may appear to be unrelated to one
another. However each subgroup is interrelated with one another.
The staff have been involved with community organization, gang
intervention, short term counseling, emergency financial
assistance, homelessness, health screenings, outreach, employment,
and much more. The goals of this department have never strayed
from the initial concept, which is to serve Mount Prospect
residents by filling the gaps of existing services.

of this committee's work will be organizing the first Senior
Citizen Fire Expo (Retire Fire Campaign).
Increase staff time of bilingual social workerto identify
and respond to the specialized needs of South side residents.
Increase outreach services by 10% to provide home health assistance
to senior citizens and the disabled. This will allow an additional
twenty-five residents to remain safely in their homes and out of
nursing homes.
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ISSUES FOR HUMAN SERVICES
Internal Issues:
11 Develop more proficient usage of the computer. Need time to
set up and use data base with client tracking, files, etc.
This could save much time but needs time for date entry.
a
2, Provide adequate time for all projects, programs and services
to be accomplished, New programs can no longer be added
without major prioritizing or additional staff.
3* Increase communication within office. High case load has cut
down on amount of time available for communication.
4. Continue work on "Visions" to keep process going. We do not
want to lose the interest and support of the residents.
5,0continue to be vigilant in watching over commonly used items
by residents and staff in the Senior Center.
External Issues:
10, Increase outreach Services to the needy in the community.
2* Increase Community Education on pertinent subjects that
interest majority, such as Alzheimer's Disease, Caregiving,
etc.

VOLUNTEERS
In our society today, older adults take a very special role. Their
work and volunteer expertise, and involvement in the community is
consistent with a new emphasis on individual responsibility in
meeting society's needs. Volunteer workers are an invaluable asset
which this department takes great care and effort to develop. The
dollars saved by the volunteer program do not show up in the
budget, but without this supply of personnel many current programs
and services would not exist. Our
189 volunteers worked in 228 different positions and gave an
incredible 7,478 service hours to the Village. These volunteer
hours take on an even more impressive status when equated to real
staff positions. To keep the same level of programming, the
Village would need to hire 3.83 additional full-time employees to
make up for the hours donated to human services. Put in this
light, at a conservative estimate of $8.00 per hour, the saving to
the Village is $59,824 per year, and this figure does not include
a benefit package. Some of the many areas in which our volunteers
have worked are as follows:
Drivers for the Home Delivered Meal Program
Flu Shot and Health Fair
Advisory Council
Bridge Instructions
Bingo Organizers
Income Tax Preparers
Hosts and Hostesses for after -hour and week -end programs
Employment Program
Pool Room Committee
Volunteer Insurance Program
