COMMITTEE REPORT
TOW Mayor & Board of Trustees
FROM: Trustee Edward B. Rhea, Jr., Chairman, Finance Committee
SUBJECT: Finance Committee Meeting 1-22-76
DATE: January 29, 1976
Present: Chairman Rhea; Trustees E. Floros & R. Hendrick
Also Finance Director Dick Jesse and Deputy Finance
Director Bob Simpson
Swimming Pool Permit FeesE
The Committee considered the fees which the Village currently
charges for permits for commercial swimming pools. These are
defined as pools which serve three or more families, most of
which are located at apartment complexes.
The Village charges $30 for a 6 -month permit. The Director of
Health Services has determined that his Department incurs a
direct cost of $73.38 per pool in conducting the required in-
spections and tests on these pools. The Committee is of the
opinion that the cost of the permit for these pools should
fully cover the cost of regulating them; therefore, by a vote
3-0, the Finance Committee recommends that the fee for commercial
swimming pool permits be increased to $754
ff-Parking Meters-!
The Committee has considered the administration's recommendation
that 200 parking meters be installed in the downtown area. The
primary motive behind this recommendation was to improve the
availability of parking spaces in the central business district.
In view of the fact that, (a) the new Library is expected to
provide additional parking spaces which shopping patrons may
use, and (b) the Business District Development and Redevelopment
Commission is currently addressing itself to this problem, the
Committee wishes to defer action on this recommendation. We
will retain it as a charge, pending further information from the
Business District Development and Redevelopment Commission.
Business License Fees:
11
The Committee has considered the fees charged for business licenses
at two meetings. Over the last several weeks the Trustees have
been supplied with copies of various data which the Committee
reviewed,, 0
(Other sideE
Finance Committee Meeting 1-22-76 Page 2.
These fees were last changed in 19720 Since then the cost of
regulating businesses has 4,1increased fast. In the current year
revenue is budgeted at $37,000 while direct costs involved by
the Fire Prevention Bureau,, Health Services Department, and
Clerk's office is estimated at $102,000.
our current fee schedule is subistantially lower than other
communities. For instance., our, square footage schedule yields
$15,300 in fees. If we adopted the schedule in use by Palatine
and Des Plaines it would yield $55,600. We license cigarette
10i
machines for $25 while Wheeling charges $50, Rolling Meadows $50,
and Niles $65.
Mr. George Anderson addres'sed the Committee on behalf of the
Chamber of Commerce, while Mr. Jack Keefer, a local businessman,
appeared in his own behalf. Mr. Anderson stated that he felt
an increase in the fees of 10-15% would be equitable. Mr. Keefer
stated that he felt a 25% increase would be equitable.
The Committee was unable to agree on a recommendation. Trustee
Hendricks flatly opposed any 'increase. Trustee Floros favored
a 50% increase, while the Chairman feels that the fees should be
doubled.
Accordingly, it was agreed 'to offer two motions for the Board's
consideration. The first wi*ll be to double business license fees.
If it should fail, I will 'then offer a motion to increase the
fees by 50%.
Liquor License Reguest:
The Committee heard a request for creation of a Class W liquor
license for Sizzler Family Steak, House, 110 E. Rand Road. The
W 6
petitioner was not aware of certa,in requirements in our liquor
ordinance; therefore, the matter was rescheduled for our February
meeting.

Multiple Dwelling Licensing Ordinance.
W
This ordinance was d iscussed at length and it was recommended
that the Village Attorney draft an"ordinance which is com-
parable to that presently 'in effect in the Village of
Arlington Heights. The revenue generated from this ordinance
would be substantially less than anticipated due to the
amendment to the ordinance which would 'impose a per building
licensing fee 'Instead of a per dwelling licensing fee. I
w ill report to the full Board when the Judiciary Committee has
i
a final recommendation. This report is by means of a status
presentation.
Policy Statement on Executive Sessions,:
This matter was discussed at length and, in view of the memos
submitted by various Board members, it was decided that no
formal policy on Executive Sessions, other than what presently
appears in the statute, is presently required. This matter,
however, was placed under the general heading on the charge
sheet of "Review of Order of Bus iness Board Agenda". A motion
was made and passed, 2-0, that if a Trustee is absent from an
Executive Session, said Executive Session is to be recorded
by means of a tape recording device. The purpose of this is
so that the Trustee can 114sten to the tape and glean for himself
what transpired at the Executive Session. The Village Attorney
saw no ob3ection to this and felt it would answer the question
which was raised by Trustee Wattenberg as to how the absent
Trustee is to be informed of what transpired at the Executive
Session.
a
The discussion of written reports marked "confidential" ende
a
in the conclusion that said reports are not kept confidentia
and also a report to the absent Trustee may be slanted or
opinionated by the writerW

Relocation of Board Meetings..
By way of status presentation, it should be noted that the
new library building has a room with a greater seating
capacity than presently available 'in our courtroom. There
is better ventilation, with "restrooms, an elevator and with
access to underground parking. Also, there 'is a P.A, system
Uable and the meetings would be held with seating all on
aval
it 10
one level. It 'is f elt that this would 'increase c izen parti-
cipation, provide a better environment for meaningful discussion,
and bring citizens into our new library complex who would
ordinarily never see the inside of thl's new addition to our
Village. This was tabled and will be discussed at the meeting
of the entire Board with the Library Board on Saturday,
March 20.
0
Ethics Proposalli
5
Various ethnics proposals were discussed and these were given
to the Village Attorney with instructions to draft an ethics
ordinance for the Village of Mount Prospect and have 'it all
inclusive. In this manner, the Board could amend the ordinance,
if desired. This ordinance should be prepared within 30 days.
Judiciary Committee Charge Sheet,
The following revisions were made to the charge sheet.
The headings "Proposed Election Code,* Gasoline Rationing and
Control* North Suburban Mass Transit District; Village Growth
Patterns 1980; Downtown Plan; Special Zoning District Downtown
Area; and Proposed Storage Garage in Mount Shire" are to be
striken, I
The headings "Disclosure of Interest Ordinance; Ethics Commission;
a
Conflict of Interest" are to be combined "into one heading
"Ethics Ordinancell. It was noted that the Downtown Plan and
Special Zoning Distric"t and Village Growth Patterns can be
striken since they are 'Included 'in the title "Village Plan".
The rest of the items shall stay on the Judiciary charge sheet.

This-'-.spe61'a1:7,me'eting wa's called for 7:30 Pe M. by
three Trustees (Rhea Floros Richardson) for
cussion of veto by Mayor Teichert of Resolution
and for 8:00 P. M. Mayor Teicheri called
the meeting for presentation of the Comprehensive
Village Plan Amendment, both pursuant to Chapter 2
"The Board of Trustees" Section 2.103 "Meetings"
in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal
Code of Mount Prospect.
Chairman pro tem Richardson read a letter directed to
the Mayor from President of the Library Board, John
W. A. Parsons, dated April 25, 1976 regarding the
1976-1977 operating budget, requesting consideration
of the needs of the Library.
Trustee Rhea, seconded by Trustee Minton, moved to
reconsider Resolution #15-76 (A RESOLUTION ADOPTING
THE ANNUAL BUDGET9 1976 - 77) for the purpose of
altering Exhibit A, increasing the 'amount of the
budget for the Library, to be followed by adoption
of i a new budget.
Col. Ralph Arthur, 14 W. Hiawatha Trail, presented
the Deputy Clerk with two peons. One, signed
by 16 persons requested the Board to unanimously
vote to override Mayor Teichert's veto of the 1976
77 Village Budget, requesting a referendum on the
additional $121,495 petitioned for by the Library.
The second petition, supporting the Mayor's veto,
was signed by 2 persons.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Rhea Richardson
Nays F I o r o s Hendricks Minton
Wattenberg
Motion failed.
Tru s tee Fl ares , seconded by Trustee Hend ri cls , moved
to override Mayor Tel chert' s veto of Resolution #15-
76.
Trustee Rhea read a statement for the record, referring
to Mayor Tei chert' s memo of April 23rd as the only basis
for his opposition to Resolution #15-76. Trustee Rhea
did not agree that the action of a prior Board placed
an obligation on the current Board with regard to the
operating budget for the Library. The current Board has
legal obligations, which the Village Attorney has advised,
have been met.
Trustee Rhea did not believe the Board has a moral obli-
gation to provide expanded funding because the Library
is there. He did not agree Board action would insure
inefficient or inadequate operation of the Library.
Trustee Rhea stated he would oppose deletion of other
items currently in the budget to provide additional
funding for the Library.
p. 2 4/27/76
Trustee Floros opposed Village spending and an
accelerated tax rate. He cited the monthly refuse
charge and increase in water rates and business
license fees. He believed the Board should oppose
increased spending,
Trustee Floros stated the additional $275,000 re-
quested by the Library, was in his opinion, due to
oversights on the part of the architects and en-
gineers employed by the Library Board.
Trustee Fl oros stated i f the Li brary Board feel s
it cannot operate with this budget the matter should
be presented to the voters in the form of a referendum.
He urged the Board to override the Mayor's veto and
adopt the budget without change.
Trustee Wattenberg stated that while he is sympathetic
with the Library Board, he cannot agree with the Mayor
on the veto of the budget, nor does he agree that the
library service is as important as the other Village
services such as fire and police. He cited the need
for sidewalks along Wolf Road to protect children go-
ing to school. He disagreed with the Library expansion
while the other services are being cut.
Trustee Hendricks listed the various discussions held
with the Library Board and urged an override of the
Mayor's veto so that the budget can be approved and
the Library issue put to rest.
Trustee Minton felt that the amount it will cost to
expand is not the issue, but how much can the Village
afford should be considered. He urged an override of
the Mayor's veto.
Trustee Richardson stated the budget may require changes
in operation, but felt that allocating no funds for books,
etc. for the Library is merely prolonging the inevitable,
and the problems would come back to haunt the Village next
year.

The proposed Comprehensive Village Plan amendment was
then studi(�d in detail with a question and answer per-
iod fol -lowing. Mr. Ron Cassidy, President of the
Wheeling Township School Trustees requested the Planning
Com-missio'n to take into consideration the type of zoning
for' designated school properties.
Col. Ralph Arthur, stated that one topic that is crucial
in the future of Mount Prospect is the subject of water
resources, and should be considered by the Planning Corn -
m 1 551 o n.
Certain changes in the wording of the text were agreed
upon, as it was reviewed page by page.
Trustee Wattenberg, seconded by Trustee Hendricks, moved

1. Conflict of Interest Ordinance. -
Mr. Zimmermann submitted a lengthy ordinance, as he had been asked
to do. This revised ordinance suggestion will be discussed at
our next meeting. It seems to me our present ordinance suffices,,
2. Ad Hoc Committee Report Re Parking of Recreational Vehicles:
We must respect minority opinion and right and will review the
report at our next meeting. It appears to me, in this situation,
that no ordinances are required because present ordinances are
available relating to open space violations, such as Chapter 14.1102,
Chapter 14.2602, subsection (b). Our Law Department will aid
interested citizens who file a complaint, just like our other
Departments serve the public, when requested to do so.
It is 'Interesting that these ordinances are not ment-ioned in the
report by the' Ad Hoc Committee,. nor is it mentioned that our
Zoning Board of Appeals consider esthetics in its deliberations.
Neither does the report mention the recommendations of our Planning
Commission to promote esthetics, as well as the usual public health,
safety, etc.
It seems that the conclusions of the Ad Hoc Committee were pre-
pared apparently on two letters received from two citizens in
Mount Prospect.

Request for Liquor License: - Sizzler's Steak House - Rand Road:
In a case continued from 2-26-76, Mr. Anton Phillips, President
of X -Cel, Inc., introduced the mew manager of Sizzler's Steak
House on Rand Road, which 'is requesting a Class W license to
serve beer and wine. The restaurant is now open and operating.
Request had been held up because the residency requirement had
not been met. Mr. Phillips introduced the new manager of the
Restaurant, Don Hansen, a resident of Mount Prospect.
After much discussion, the Committee, by a 2-0 vote, recommends
the creation of a new Class W liquor license for Sizzler's
Steak House.
0
Creation of Library District.
This, too, was a carryover item. Library Board President John
Parsons reviewed previous discussions and provided input on the
reasons why Palatine established a separate Library District.
The advantages accruing to the Palatine Library through the
establishment of a separate Library District would not apply to
Mount Prospect, according to a He, therefore, con-
cluded that the Library Board would not favor establishment of
a separate Library Dist.,�ict at this time, The Committee agreed
to terminate discussions on the subject, and asks that the item
be removed from the charge sheet.
Civil & Constitutional Rights - Insurance Coverage.
Bill Radtke, our insurance agent, presented a' proposal for an
endorsement to our general policy for the Village. A copy of
thAIM endorsement or added coverage is attached. Cost for the
additional premium is $7,646 per year. Liability limit is
$100,000, with a $500 deductible,- It was pointed out by the
administration that the budget would have to be increased only
by about $2,500, in that the amount budgeted for insurance cost
Finance ComMittee Meeting 5* -27-76
Um9m
had been 9verestimated. The administration recommends the Board
purchase the additional coverage, suggesting that if the Board
did not choose to do so, it should set aside an equivalent
amount as a reserve for use in defending Village employees
charged with violations of Civil or Constitutional rights'.
The two Trustees split on the vote - Richardson voting yes on the
additional coverage* Floros, voting a qualified no. In voting
no, the Chairman suggested, in the absence of this additional
coverage, the Village Board should go on record as to its intention
of providing for the legal defense of any employee brought to
cA urt f or alleged violations of a citizen's Civil or Constitutional
rights,

Wm. Draper of Dell Corp. explained to the Committee how a Mount
Prospect Housing Agency might be established and how it would
function. Basically, it would be an independent agency, funded
by HUD, and would administer and coordinate all housing assistance
of programs in the Village. In the absence of such a local agency,
this authority resides with the Cook County Housing Authority.
The local agency also could assist developers in obtaining more
favorable financing.
The Committee suggested that Mr. Drpaer and John Zimmermann meet
with Bernard Lee and develop a specific proposal for a Mount
Prospect Housing Agency. Mr. Lee, a local resident, is a former
member of the Cook County Housing Authority and is acknowledged
to b ' e expert in this field. Because of the time pressures, the
Finance Committee recommends that a Committee of the Whole meeting
of the Board be called as soon as Messrs'.Draper, Zimmermann and
Lee have a document ready,for review.
Parking Fees --r Ma le Street Lot:
Parking fees for the Maple Street lot are presently set at
for all -day parking. This, according to the administration,, i
substantially lower than parking fees charged by surrounding
communities for commuter parking. It was also pointed out tha
50% to 60% of the cars using the Maple Street parking lQt are
from out-of-town. An increase from 30� to 50� would generate
an estimated $10,000,00 annually and would be useful in
purchasing additional property for more commuter parkingO
The Committee, by a 2-0 vote, recommends that the parking fe
for the Maple Street lot be increased from 30� to' 50�* i

The Committee, by a 2-0 vote, recommends that the registration

paid for by the Village. Because,:of the close proximity of the
meeting place, it was felt that hotel accommodations would not
be needed,

Huntington Commons Concominiums - Water Rate Schedule:
The Committee met with the representatives of the condominiums of
Huntington Commo ' ns with regard to their request for an exception
to the Village water rate schedule. This matter has been under
'deration b the Public Works Committee since February.
consi y
Basically, it 'is the position of the condominium owners that since
they are individual owners, Ordinance 2605 discriminates against
them by charging them a higher gallonage rate than other homeowners.
They contend that their water consumption in their buildings should
be divided by the number of units in order to arrive at a proper
gallonage rate. Village records indicate that in the May billing
period 5 of their buildings were charged $1.20 per thousand, I
building was charged $1.10 per thousand, while 2 buildings received
minimum bills.

The administration stated wts opposdt*on to an ex,ception in a memo
from the Village Manager dated June 15. In addition, the Village
Attorney has stated that it is his opinion that we would violate
our bonding ordinance by granting exceptions to Ordinance 2605.
The Public Works Committee, by a vote of 2-0, recommends that no
exception from Ordinance 2605 be granted to condominiums,

Carnivals:
I
The purpose of the wording of a carnival ordinance to satisfy all
people was again discussed in some detail. The Committee decided
that Exhibit "B", as previously prepared by Attorney Zimmermann
in ordinance form, in connection with applications for carnivals
and circuses, was the best that can be prepared, and we again
recommend approval to the Board,
Mt._ Shire Apartments:
Attorney Bush and Architect May were present, representing the
builder, Mr. DiMucci requesting a variance from the present
Consent Decree in order to allow them to put up a storage building.
The discussion involved whether or not the storage shed was
necessary, and why the builder had failed to live up to the Consent
Decree, and had failed to erect the berm and dispose of two build-
ings in the area.
It appeared that both attorneys had been before the court on at
least 8 occasions, requesting continuances, because of the hope
that the matter might be settled by the Judiciary Committee.
The Committee recommends to amend the Con'sent Decree and that the
builder put up a Performance Bond for erection of the necessary
berm to be put up within one year before giving him any building
permit.'
I hope that both attorneys in the meantime will try to settle this
longstanding controversy by aggressive negotiations, rather than
further burdening the courts with this problem.
