ROLL CALL Present upon roll call: Floros Hendricks Minton Rhea Richardson Wattenberg Teli'chert MAYOR TEICHERT'S STATE OF THE VILLAGE ADDRESS This is the sixth time that I have had the privilege of sitting with a newly formed Village Board, each of us look- ing into the future and musing as to what the next two years holds in store for the community we serve. As Mayor I have the obligation, and the honor, to present an overview of our Village to the new Board... describing 'in capsulated form the condition of the Village and directing the Board's attention to areas of particular interest. As with all of life we can best prepare for the future, if we occasionally pause to re- flect on our past. Our immediate past is to a great extent the handiwork of the four Trustees who have tonight relinquished their seats to others...seats which are indeed an honorable post...seats, which they occupied with dignity and dedication... seats they turn over to the new Trustees with sincere good wishes and an understanding of the frustrations which lie ahead. 5/6/75 Some of the frustrations which embattled the old Board are still with us Ind will plague the new Board, ... but many of the frustrations the old Board, erienced were exI dissolved in the solutions they produced through long hours of study and a lot of courage in doing what they saw had to be doine. I receeded them, As with the many elected officials who had p their names may be forgotten in the future, but the good they did will live on for all of our benefit. I should note that approximately $300,000 of the contro- versial four million dollar bond issue is the purchase price value of the old library...to be converted into a Senior Citizen Center. If those who would undermine that program are successful, the Seniors' problem will still remain. It is somewhatironicthat many of our Senior who helped build this beautiful community that attracted us as newcomers to settle here, are now reduced to begging us to help them live out the balance of their life in the Village they created. It will be to the everlasting credit of the old Board that they were responsive to the pleas of the Seniors. -5- 5/6/75 As a part of this frustration was the matter of housing for our Seniors, as well as other citizens of Mount Prospect who are in financial trouble or just don't happen to be white collar workers or as_rich rich as some of us apparently are. This segment of our society, a minority group in Mount Prospect to -be sure, needs housing not now available in our community. The old Board tried, as did previous Boards, to solve this problem but it got bogged down in the innuendo of race and ghettos. Those are real fears, but they are not justified * by law or the various proposals that were explored... and they are not justification for ignor- ing the needs of our present citizens.. Again, it remaine&for the Board of 1974 to undertake a positive program to develop 4 housing assistance plan for our Village... to state publicly that they recognize a need for 1 -ow -and moderate income, housing. It is somewhat q, amusing,that the initial discussions of the Village Board to buy the Central School property was for -.the purpose of providing Senior Citizen Housing..and,'in fact, the use for a library and/or downtown redevelopment became priorities only after and consensus.to acquire the property had been reachedache ' d . After almost five years of de- bate, Mount Prospect is f ' inally undertaking a program to help our own residents remain In our Village...a housing assistance plan is now in the making. The everpresent frustration of expanding and improving Village services was successfully met by the old Board and it can be witnessed daily in the operations of our Police, Fire, Public Works, and indeed all of our depart- mental activities. The ultimate necessity for good ser- vices is obviously sufficient funds for manpower and equip- ment ..anal equally obvious such funds are called taxes... and no matter how the elected official tries to disguise it, taxes come from the people. The old Board was successful in expanding our tax base to keep pace with the improved ser- vices but had not yet resolved how to compensate for the cal- amity of inflation and recescion whether we can or not is a future frustration. It is s�ufficient as a-Tast laurel to the old Board ard to recognize that they did provide a variable tax base for cur,Vl*llage,, which I am personally convinced will prove to be our life -line to survival as various present tax sources are lost to us in the future. Certainly the retiring Trustees will individually reflect on many other things they did and the many things they did not do ... they know the read. frustration is that "you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't". They were honest wi.th themselves and the conmunity they served :. they.mads them- selves expendable by'doing what they thought was rigiit, *6- 5/6/75 rather than seemed popular at the .time. Only history can accurately appraise the wisdom of their judgments, but all of us can applaud them for, having the courage of their convications. Gentlemen, and lady, you did your jobs well. And now, what of us?...the new Village Board. what will our problems be and how will we resolve them?

In, short, we must attempttohavea tax base of multiple sources qM that we are not vulneto fiscal chaos should 7 - ■ # - 7n -productive. A - r.% '+ �,..

That is a most important undertaking since I am of the belief that we will in the near future lose a substantial portion of our sales tax and possibly see a reduction or limited use of general revenue sharing funds. The warning signs are up - and we would be remiss in our obligations to the future if we ig- nore That we see. As a corrolary to analyzing the various uses of property as to revenue production and expense, we must also broaden our understanding of how municipal financing works. An expanding tax base, just like a prosperous economy, has a tendency to cover judgmental errors and carelessness in the handling of money ... not because the money is misspent, but because it is replaceable merely through the passage of time. ' Time is no longer our saviour... it is now our enemy ... but then, it has always been our enemy. Time works against us in municipal financing since it delays our receipts of revenue until alter -the -fact of spending, and requires that we establish our revenue needs two years in ad- vance. Time erodes our fixed taxes, compounding the impact of inflation by producing fixed dollars to be used for rising ex- ' penses. If we are to offset the 'impact of time on a s t a t, " c t a,x -- -h base dot we must be ' smart fast and persistent long. To' is we must establish an immediate dialogue on long range financing and give it top priority. The importance of long range planning cannot be over -emphasized since it is the essential ingredient in giving the Village em- ployees an immediate pay increase ... as I am sure all of us want to do. A pay increase for our employees n ' eed not be deferred if.this Board commits its -elf to providing adequate revenue in 1776 to meet the budgetary needs that can be forecasted now. We can solve our present financial problem ... we can extend our- selves in a unique manner, without borrowing or deficit financ- ing... but it is a technique that will only be available one time., once we use it we can never repeat. Thus., fiscal integrity would demand that we not approach the '76-77 budget with insufficient revenue or increased expenses. As all of you know, last year the assessor began a new billing technique which permits payment of the first installment of real estate taxes on an estimated basis. Taxes that used to be paid to us in June and July are now paid to us in March and April. This effectively gives us three tax payments within our fiscal year if we choose to use it rather than let it carry over to the following fiscal year,'as is customary. Obviously, if we should utilize the extra payment it will never be available again...but every year thereafter would still have the customary two payments. This billing technique was devised for the benefit of school districts, who rely solely on real estate taxes, to avoid the need for tax anticipation warrants. It is a quirk in the fiscal arrangements that makes such an accelerated payment schedule a one-time bonus system for municipalities. The only danger would be if this Board utilized this crutch but failed to attend to the real problem of long range revenue production. Again, our community needs a financial plan for the future, not cosmetic surgery for today. FISCAL INTEGRITY... that is our challenge... and I am confident, we can solve it together. And now if I might, a word about the recent election. As with all contested elections it produced winners and losers. Having been on both sides of that fence I know fir ' st hand the feeling of "what did I do wrong?" and "the people have given me a man- date". I find it unhealthy to dwell too long on defeat or to bask too long in victory...but all of us would be rem'I*ss if we did not try to learn something from each and every election we participate I have learned something from this election... at least I think I have...and it disturbs me. It has nothing to do with the candidates...their charges or counter charges ... but rather with the citizens... those who vote us in and out of office. I heard in their voices, and detected in their questions a measure of distrust concerning ning the actions of their elected officials... which, of course, includes me... and now will include the new Trustees. I was angry, and I think understandably so ... at least from my own point of view...because to my knowledge there is not even a scintilla of wrong doing or corrupt practices in Mount Prospect. If there was one thing that the Board members and I shared with confidence it was the pride of being part of a clean and honest administration... suddenly it was gone. Not through any facts or evidence of wrongdoing, but rather through impli- cation and innuendo...and not from the candidates, but the citi- zens themselves. Too much to discount as the work of vocal mal- contents ... it prevaded the community. Like many others I wrote it off to Watergate, the Jim Thompson indictments, the general feeling that blames the elected official for all that goes bad... for I knew there was nothing to support such a feeling of mistrust. But gradually I came to the realiza- tion that a loss of confidence is a loss of confidence, regard- less of how it comes into being. The important thing s not how aloss of confidence comes to be, but will it be permitted to continue, making simple problems difficult, and difficult prob- lems impossible? -9- 5/6/75 Thus, even though'I had believed that everything was being done to assure honest and open government, it was now ob- vious that something was keeping that message from the people. As a lawyer, I support our national concept that a person is 'innocent until proven guilty. As a person, I know that is not so as a practical al matter.. There is a general feeling across our country that politicians cians are corrupt...and all of us must admit that in today's climate an indictment, or even a charge made in the newspaper, is tantamount to conviction. As public officials we must accept the fact that we are no longer presumed to be competent or honest until proven other- wise...by current standards an elected official must take active steps to prove his freedom from wrongdoing. That is a very disturbing concept... particularly for a lawyer. However, I am reminded that holding a position of elected trust is a special.. situation. No one forced me to seek the office, it was a voluntary act ... and if one of the conditions for holding that office is to give up my rights of privacy, what is the harm? simply stated, if I want to keep my life private, I shouldn't seek or hold public office. In this context I understand the cries of "throwlthe rascals out" or "change for change s sake" or "a new broom sweeps clean". These are expressions of latent mistrust that have been with u ' s since our country was founded. They are not per- sonal, but impersonal...not charges against the individual, but the structure or authority he is a part of. Wringing our hands and being defensive• will only compound the problem... what iis needed is candor and openness. An understanding.6f what I am saying is necessary if the new Board is to function properly. You are no longer citizens, you are elected officials. You will be set apart and treated differently... almost as though you don't even live in Mount Prospect. You cannot escape your destiny of beingadmin- istration", for it is the Trustees, not the Mayor, who votes for taxes, approves the budget, sets policy. No matter how you vote, three of the new Trustees must be on the majority side... and only the minority can be popular. The majority 'is the major- ity on each issue that is criticized. Knowing this, it is incumbent on each of us to not lose the con- fidence of those we represent. It is not necessary that all Citizens agree with our individual position (and they won't) but it is necessary that they have confidence that we made our de- cision honestly and openly. Accordingly, if we are to enjoy the _10- 5/6/75 support of the people of Mount Prospect as we make the necessary, p unpopular decisions which lie ahead, we must ag.,g,ressively confirm our personal integrity. It is not enough to knowit too. I intend to react to this election... I intend to be responsive to our citizens who have expressed doubt in their officials... I intend to instill confidenceby action, not rhetoric ... I intend to confirm the principle that elected officials mtist be open and public in all that they do ... I intend to erase all doubts as to the integrity of the Village Board. As a first step, I will file with the Village Clerk copies of my income tax returns, making them available for public in- spection. I urge the Trustees to consider making their income tax returns available for public inspection also, so that there can be no doubts in the minds of our citizens as to who or what we are. The people, I believe, have a right to know our finan- cial status. Secondly, I will ask the Judiciary Committee of the Board to proposed a Disclosure of Interest Ordinance to augment the Conflict of Interest Statements already required by Ordinance and the Ethics Statement now filed pursuant to State Statute. Our collective goal must be one of assuring our citizenry in black and white that each of us is above reproach. Thirdly, except for personnel matters (and then only at the request of the 'individuals involved) I will call no more execu- tive sessions of the Village Board. All of us know that execu- tive sessions when permitted are discretionary, not mandatory. It seems to me that the doubts that arise and the rumors that flow from such closed meetings do more damage in the long,run.than the short term advantage supposedly gained. I would much rather have citizens angry with us for what we say publicly, than distrustful of us for what they think we said at a closed meeting. The people are entitled to know how we make our de- cisions. Fourthly, I will support a periodic newsletter to our residents, provided the monies are available from the existing budget with- out a tax increase, and provided the newsletter is free from editing or censoring by all elected officials. Gentlemen, the FISCAL INTEGRITY that I see as our overall challenge cannot be met unlpss our personal integrity is firmly established. I pledge you my complete cooperation to that end. Finally, let us all remember the election is over. We are seven representatives of the people ... each duly elected by popular vote... each equal to the other in. rights as well as responsibili- ties. We must respect each other and help each other. Collect- ively, we can maintain Mount Prospect as a prosperous, vital com- munity...divided we will merely provide tomorrow's headlines and -11- 5/6/75 yesterday's news. The citizens of Mount Prospect expect great things from us ... let us now produce what they expect.

He requested the Board consider the possibility, if time permits, to have a referendum, and urged that it be con- ducted within three weeks.
