MEETING CALLED FOR DISCOVERY RECOUNT
A petition to conduct a Discovery recount. of tile ballots cast in
Precinct Nos,, 2, 3, 10, 17 and 19 in the election held on Anril
150 1975 was filed by Norma ilurauskis,, Upon receipt of the 'petition,
'Tile Village Clerk notified Ed and B. Rhea, Jr,,, the successful can -
di date for the office of Village Trustee, that the President and
Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect would convene on
splay 3,0 1975 for the purpose of conducting the recount,
11r,, Bernard Scola, 1823 Palm Drive a watcher for Mrr 1hea, requested
clarification of the procedure to be followed, Both Mrs* Murauskis
and Mr. Rhea were present.
Mayor Tei chert read the fol lowing statement:
1 'he Village Clerk,'Village Attorney and tilayor have spent considerable
time in research and discussion in an effort to determine a proper pro-
cedure to respond to the Petition for Discovery of Recount filed by
Norma Hurauskis, a candidate for the office of Village Trustee (two-
year term) in the election held Tuesday, April 15, 1975, the results of
which were canvassed and certified by the Village Board of Mount
Prospect on April 22, 1975.
Apart from the statutory direction that the Discovery Recount procedure
followed should be the same as that prescribed for the election itself
the law does not specify the many details that attend this type of undo
d-1 rtaki n q. Reference to case law and test materials, as well as con-
sultation with various lawye'rs 'has not resolved the Matter in any defin-
i ti ve manner,, Accordingly, it will be tile obligation of the Village
Board (Canvassing Board) to adopt a procedpre which they believe
complies with the election laws to provide a fai r and honest recount
of 'the precincts selected by the petitioner for discovery,,
. .
To this end the following steps have beep taken:
1. Special meeting of the Village Board was called
by the Mayor for Saturday, Hay 3, 1975, at 9:00
A. N. in the Villa*qe Hall and notice was served
on members of the Village Board, the petitioner,
and all successful candidates for the contest to
which the petition is directed.
Z. The petitioner and successful candidates have been
advised to have three watchers of their choice
present at the Special Meeting,
Ratification of the above steps and adoption of the following additional
steps is proposed:
3. The meeting is declared open to the public but
with the admi ni ti on ' that the Village Board shall
control the meeting and all determinations of pro-
cedure will be made by,a simple majority vote of
the Board members.
4. The Mayor will divide the Board into t,,,io, groups
of three Trustees each, designating two Trustees
as "Callers" and one Trustee as "Tal lyer", and
assigning the Precincts specified in the Petition
to sclid groups* In the absence of one Trustee, the
Mayor shall take his place.4,,in the absence of two
Trustees, the Mayor shall designate one "Caller"
for each group.... in the absencp of three Trus tees ,
the Village Trustees present will act as one'grqup,
5q The petitioner and the successful candidates shall
be allowed one watcher (which can bp themselves) to
observe the caller of a group, of Trustees and one
watcher (whiqh can n be theimselves) to observe the
ta,11yer of a group of Trustees,,
G. Objections to procedures and Board determinations will
be permitted only by the watchers, the petitioner, and
the successfUl candidates.
To Each group of Trustees shall recount its assigned pre-
cincts separately, provided that whenever an objection
is made and to confirm the final tally, all Village
Board members shall vote to resolve the objection and*
confirm the final' tally.
pe 2 5/3/75
8. Each precinct shall be recounted in the fol lwing
I
manner:
A. Count the number of voters' applications, for
b al lots
B*
Count the number of ballots (including the
defective and objected to ballots.... but don't
mix these in with the voted ballots.)
C.
If there are more balloLs (voted and defected
and objected to) than there are applications,
put all the voted ballots (but not the defective
'a
and objected to ballots) in ballot box,; shake,
and then withdraw enough ballots so that the two
totals will match.
D.
When the two totals agree, separate the voted
ballots into two piles: one pile shall consist
of straight votes for the Uni�ipd Citizens Party,
and the other iii1e shall consist of solit Vote,;.
Each of the Trus tees in the group should examine
both piles to see that straights and splits are
properly separated.
Take the straight votes first " One caller should
count this of le into qrouns of 10 ballots each.
As he gathers a group of 10, he should nass it to
the second caller who counts the stack, and if
there are 10 votes in the stack, say aloud, "ten
votes for United Citizen Party". Tile stacks refI
straight votes are totalled by the callers and one
caller then announces aloud the total, straight
votes. Check, each ballot for judges initials,
F.
The Tallyer,having listed each candidates name for
the do -year terms on the tally sheet shall enter
the total straight votes after the name of each
candidate for the United Citizens Party,,
G.
Take the split votes next. One caller should count
this pi le, 10 ballots at a time, As he qathers a
group of 10, he should Pass it to the second caller,
who counts the stack. Check, each ballot for the
judge's initialso If there are IQ ballots, then
taking one ballot at a time, read aloud the names
of the srlected candidates for the tip -year term.
The Tal Iyer shall for the dandidate"s name called
make one vertical mark in the fartherest, left "Tally
Mark" box and work to, the right using consecutive
')oxer as selected candidates are called, A fifth
vote is talhed horizontally through the 4 previous
vertical marks and the Tallyer shall say "Tally".
p. 3 5/3/75
When the entire pile of split votes is gone, the
Tallyer counts the. total number of tally marks
for each candidate, announcing the total aloud and
entering that total in the split vote column
after the name of the appropriate candidate.
Ho Take the pile of defective and objected to ballots
and examine them one at a time. If any ballot in
this pile is determined to be not defective or not
validly objected to it shall be separated from the
pile and the votes for the selected candidates
entered adjacent his name on the Tally Sheet,
Is The Tal Iyer shall total all votes for each dandi date
and enter such total in the column "Candidates Total
Vote" on the Tally Sheet.
J. All members of the Village Board present shall sign
the Tally Sheet certifying the results of the Recount
for each precinct recounted,
Ke After all ballots are counted, they shall be retied
and �.-irapped, The Board members shall sinn their
names on the wrapper and the signatures covered
with transparent tapes Any envelopes opened shall
be placed with their original contents into a new
envelope which will be sealed and signed by the
Board members t covering the signatures with trans-

be put into the bag from whicis it came and returned
to the custody of the Village Clerk.
9s When the recount has been completed, the Village Board should adopt
I a resolution declaring the results. A certi-lied copy of the resolution
declaring the results of the Distovery Recount should be sent to the

ps 4 5/3/75
The Board should note that this is a discovery proceeding only. The
result of this examination and count does not amend or change the
canvass of votes previously completed by the Board, nor can it be
used to deny the successful candidates for t ' lie same office their
certificates of election,, Only a court can overturn the election in
a properly filed election contest."
This ended the Mayor's statement ion the rules to be followed in the
recounting of the ballots,,
Trustee. Schol ten, seconded by T:-ustee Gustus, moved to adopt the
procedures as outlined for the Discovery Recount.

Motion carried,
Immediately thereafter, thesix Trustees present took thei r seats
and proceeded with the ballot counting.
The Trustees, es, in their count of Precinct 19, questioned ballots
that were not initialed by a judge of election. After polling the
Board, the unanimous decision was as follows: Any ballot not initialed
by a judge of election is a defective ballot.
Further, during the count of Precinct #19, the following decisions
were made by a polling of the full Board of Trustees:
1. If there is an erasure on a ballot, should it be rejected?
The decision of the Mayor and Board of Trustees was to accept
the ballot. Trustee Scholten cast a dissenting vote.
C. On a ballot where three votes were marked in for a two-year term
and one was scratched out within the candidates box, should it be
a rejected ballot? When the Hayor and Board of Trustees were
polled on this question Trustees Richardson and ScIliolten cast
dissentIng votes, but by a vote of 5, the decision was to accept
the bal lot.
3. Should a ballot which has been scratched out within and without
a candidate's box be rejected? When the l"ilayor and Board of
Trustees were polled there were four votes to accept --Trustees
Cayl or, Gustuso Hendricks and Mayor Tei the rt. In opposition
were Trustees Anderson, Richardson, and Scholten ,, The decision
was to accept*

Y
This is the sixth time tITat I have had the privilege
of sitting with a newly formed Village Board, each of us looking
into the future and musing as to what the next two years holds
in More 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 reflect 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 ,goad wishes and an
understanding of the frustrations which lie ahead.
Some of the frustrations which embattled the old hoard
are still with us and will plague the new Board ... but many
of the frustrations the old Board experienced were dissolved in
the solutions they produced through long hours of study and a
lot of courage in doing what they saw had to be done. As with
the many elected officials who had proceeded them., their names
may be forgotten in the future, but the good they dial will live
on for all of our benefit.
The most persistent frustration fOr oul' community over
the years has been flooding ... and until 19'"(4 it was our biggest
unsolved problem. In 1974 -the Clearwater retention bas -in was fully
operational, the Cley basin was enlarged, impI meat tion, of the
I-Plood Control Program by use of the two million
°b .d money was commenced, and a t_ri-party agreemenit wi,th
Arlington Heights and the MSD was negotiated to pr,:)vide for the
Central -Busse retention basin. The impact of flooding has already
been reduced by approximatelY 50% and with completion of the
projects now on-line can be reduced about another 25% of the
orig-i rial flooding figures. The final 25% of flood proofing wi.11
probably never be achieved unless, and until the O'Hare reclam tion
plant is installed and the MSD deep tunnel plan (or itsequivalent)
placedin operation. I recognize that, the Flood Control Program
represents seven years of aggresive Labor by the Drainage & Clean
Streams Commission, a conti nuang commiLtmerpt by three previous
Village Boards,, thousands of man -.hours from, our Engineering and Public
Works Departments ... 'but it remained for the Village Board of 1.9'(4
to make the final and total commitment to a blueprint for action.
Another frustration for the old Board was the plight
of our Senior Citizens. While we have provided, a variety of
services for Seniors, and perhaps the most comprehensive program
in the northwest area, we are far short of fulfilling the necessary
needs for -their survival in our community. The old Board -recognized
that our Seniors are a minority group (approximately 10% Of OUI
poptIl ation and probably only half of that numnber bei rig in r1eed
of the programs we- proposed) and large expenditu-res in their�
behalf would riot likely get communi.ty support.
I should note that approximately $300,000 of the controversial
four million dollar bond issue is the Purchase price value of
the old library to be converted into a Senior C -Ltizen Center.
If those who would undermine that program are successful, tl-,ie
Seniors' problem will still remain. It is somewhat iron1c that
.any of our Seniors who helped build 'this beautiful commu-rii-ty
that attracted us as newcomers to settle here., are now reduced to
begging 'us to help them live out the balance of their life Ln the
Village they created. It will be to the everlasting credo...t of
the old Board that they were responsive to the pleas of the Seniors.
As a part of this frustration was the matter of housing
for our Seniors,as well as other citizens of Mount Prospect who
0
are in financial trouble or just don't happen to be white collar
workers or as rich as some Aus,apparen. tly 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 and 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 31gnoring
the needs of our present citizens. Again, it remained for the Board
of X974 'to undertake a positive program to develop a housing
assistance plan for our Village ... to state publicly that they
recognize a need for low and moderate income housing. It is somewhat
amusing that the initial discussions of the Village Board to buy
the Central School. property was for the purpose of prov iding Senior
Citizen Housing ... and, in fact, the use for a library and/
-3-
downtown redevelopment became priorities only after a consensus
to acquire the property had been reached. After almost five
years of debate, Motnt Prospect is final undertaking a program
to help our own residents remain in our Village a housing
assistance plan is now 'in the making.
The
even resent 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 departmental activities. The ultimate
necessity for good services is obviously sufficient funds for
manpower and equipment ... and all 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 JI -m -proved
services but had not yet resolved how to compensate for, the
calamity of inflation and recession ... whether we can or not is a
future frustration. It is sufficient as a last laurel to the old
Board to recognize that they did provide a variable tax base for
our Village, which I am personally convinced will prove to be
our life-11ne 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 real frustration is that "you are damned. if
You do, and damned if you don't". They were honest with. themselves
and the community they served ... they made -themselves expendable
by doing what they thought was right,, rather than what 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 convictions.
Gentlemen, and lady, you did your jobs well.
And now., what of .. age Board.
What ..ll our problems be and how wil l we resolve them?
As I see it., our major problems, and indeed the
touchstonebl. ,n be encompassed in
wordstwo " n awesome concept and one
that goes beyond simple honesty or gettingthe most for each tax
dollar we spend. It involves the back breakingf completely
analyzing iel ties within our municipal
boundaries.and accuratelyprojecting our ultimate tam base as
well as our ultimate community needs. Many will not like what
this self-analysis reveals, and many will not like what is predicted
in projecting our future base 1 as future expenditures.
But if we delay this nt t its our destinywe will
impair bi t with t comes .. and gentlemen
it is mosttai
To emphasize the need for planningd, I am distributing
to each Trusteef Mount Prospect .. one illustrates the
expansion remainingidar . the other
expansion possible through annexation. The master prints of these
maps will be displayedin our conferenceroom as a constant reminder
that we are fast approaching the limits of physicalpan i n
of our tax base as a means to increase revenue,
The resulting static tax base that cDmes from reaching
a no growth" position in life is not someth3'-.ng to fear but
something to prepare for. Capital improvements that are needed
(or to be needed) should be completed before "no growth" is a. realit,�y-
otherwise they are not likely to be financially feasible. Apart,,
from upgrading, or replacing equipment' the known capital improvemel.-Its
are the library, seniors center, municipal administration, water
supply, and police, fire and public works facilities.
Intertwined with the problem of having a, static tax base
is the need to make sure that our -tax base i.:s variable. In. short,
we must attempt to have a tax base of multiple sources so -that we
are not vulnerable to fiscal chaos should specific sources become
non-productive. A proper analysis of all properties in our Village
w
1'I
_1 tell us what financial contribution each -type of property
makes to the community and what that property costs our commUni1--.-,y
in services rendered. We will know precisely where our monies come
from and in what f ashion . . . then we will be able to shif t the
tax burden meaningfully, with maximum revenue production and
minimum taxing inequality. This, 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 t,-) the future if
we ignore what we see'.
As a carrolary to analyzing the various uses of property
as to revenue production and expense, we must also broaden our
I
understanding of how municipal financing works. An expanding

I have learned something from this election at
least think I have
I
and 1t disturbs me. It has nothing to
I
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 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 implication and innuendo ... and no's' from the candidates,
but the citizens themselves. Too much to discount as the work of
vocal malcontents .,,, 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
realization that a loss of confidence is a loss of confidence,
regardless of how it comes into being. The important thing is not
how a loss of confidence comes to be, but will it be permitted
to continue., making simple proplems difficult, and difficult
problems impossible

Gentlemen., the FISCAL INTEGRITY that I see as our
overall challenge cannot be met unless 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
responsibilities. We must respect each other and help each other
Collectively, we can maintain Mount Prospect as a, prosperous,
vital community ... divided we will merely provide tomorrows'
headlines and yesterdays'news. The citizens of Mount Prospect
expect great things from us ... let us now produce what they
expect.
