COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
JUNE 9, 1982
I. ROLL CALL
Mayor Krause called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.,
in the Public Safety Building, 112 East Northwest
Highway. Present at the meeting were: Mayor Krause,
Trustees Ralph Arthur, Gerald Farley, Edward Miller,
Norma Murauskis and Theodore War-tenberg, Trustee Leo
Floros arrived at 7:35 p.m. Also present at the meeting
were: Village Manager Terrance Bur hard, Assistant
Village Manager Jay 1 -ledges, Chief of Police Ronald
Pavlock, Deputy Fire Chief James Hilliger, Deputy Chief
of Police Thumas Daley, Police Department's Technical
Services Coordinator Robert Doran and Police Commander
Joseph Bopp. Also present were approximately 13 persons
in the audience.
The Minutes of the Committee of the Whole meeting of
May 2.5, 1.982 were reviewed and filed.
I, POLICE CTI IEIF'S REPORT
Village Manager Burghard indicated that when Chief Pavlock
assumed his position in August, 1981, be was given instructions
from the Manager's Office to assess the strengths and
weaknesses of the organization, to develop a plan for
reorganization and reassignment, and to develop such a
plan. working in close conjunction with the Fire Department,
the Fire and Police Commission, and the existing budget
limitations as they related to total expenditures and the
number of personnel-. Within this complex environment and
in anticipation of declining growth rates in future budgets,
Chief Pavlock has prepared a comparative analysis of our
previous Police,Department structure, the present transitional
structure and the objectives for the future organization.
Coupled with these changes would be the requirement to amend
Chapter 4 of the Municipal Code so that it can build upon
existing policies permitting exempt ranks and make our
Municipal Code Ordinance more closely resemble the rules
and regulations developed by the Fire and Police Commission
and adopted by the Mayor and the Board previously, In
conjunction with this, is a request to have: the same
system of rules and regulations and Ordinances available
for the Fire Department, Chief Pavlock then reviewed some
organizational charts and passed out copies to the Mayor
and the Board of 'T'rustees. The organizational charts
depicted the supervisory staffing patterns for both exempt
and permanent civil service ranks in the Police Department
upon Chief Pavlock's taking office, the structure as it
exists today with certain vacancies, and an organizational
chart depicting the future objectives of Chief Pavlock and.
his staff. Basically, the Chief, is interested in reducing
the total number of supervisory positions from the current
authorized 1.2 down. to 7 and where feasible and practical
to use civilians :instead of trained police officers for
certain administrative and clerical functions. The introduc-
tion of civilians into the Department has already begun
with the appointment o:f'Mr. Doran as Technical Services
Coordinator. Chief Pavlock stressed that the changes
can be'made 'within existing budgetary guidelines and with
the same number of authorized personnel, The change,
however, will be that some of the positions will be filled
by civilians and the majority of supervisory'posit ons
would become ° exempt ranks as opposed to the present structure
of permanent civil service positions. By using the exempt
rank structure, which is already provided for in Chapter 4,
the Chief will then be able to rotate personnel on an as -
needed basis and they will maintain their exempt ranks
based upon performance on the job rather than a permanent
civil service rank.
A general discussion, ensued among members of the audience,
the Board„ the Village Manager and the Police Department
staff. The bulk of the questions were aimed at clarifying
the distinction between civil. service appointments and
exempt rank appointments. Mr. Beckstrom, of the Fire and
Police Commission was in attendance at the meeting and
explained the role of the Fire and Police Commission and.
the coordination that has taken place through` the offices
of Chief Pavlock and Chief P[aIritz' with the 'Commission,
During the discussion, Trustee Arthur requested that the
"ire Department prepare an organizational chart along the
same lines as those prepared by the Police Department to
show the exempt positions and supervisory positions.
Trustee. Farley requested that the Chief of Police respond
to some of the data that is included in the last monthly
report that demonstrates declining arrests in certain areas
such as traffic, parking, and declining number of hours on
patrol..' Chief Pavlock responded that he has been :attempting
to enrich, the positions of the street police officer to
make them more a generalist and that the Department has
been mooring towards selective enforcement in 'high accident
or high crime areas and, therefore; there is some decline
in the numbers. The Chief reiterated that his administration
is desiring to niake quality arrests and citations rather
than quantity. Some -members of the audience inquired
as to the cost of the recent Assessment Center for the
Conunander's position and the Village Manager responded
that-. the Assessment Center itself cost 8<a,000 and that
any expenses for, polygraph and psychological exams would
have been necessary expeTidituresH for any means of recruitment.
Members of the audience also asked other questions as they
related to the STOP Program, a clarification of the role
of the Fire and Police Commission, and the Ordinances
being proposed by the Village Manager and the Chiefs of
the Fire and Police Departments. Two members of the
audience submitted petitions to the Mayor and the Board
of Trustees indicating that the signatures were opposed
to giving the police Chief and the Fire Chief any power
that would bypass the Village Fire and Police Commission,
It was e>cplained to the residents in the audience that
authority currently exists in the Municipal, Code as it
Has since 1.977,
IV. HEALTH AND LIFE "ENSUIUNCE
Assistant Village Manager Jay Hedges reviewed for the
Committee of the Whole the more recent activities in
soliciting final price quotes for health and life insurance
for the Village. After in-itial direction on the,part of
the Mayor and the Board, the administration solicited six
quotes from self -funding administrators through three
brokers. The lowest price quote with a three-year guarantee
is from Fort Dearborn, a subsidiary of Blue Cross/Blue
Shield, Fort Dearborn has an "A" rating and• the insurance
is written on an incurred claims basis. Mr. Hedges introduced
Mike Duncan, broker representing Fort, Dearborn, and a
representative of the claims office of the Fort Dearborn
Insurance Company. It was explained that if the Board
desires to proceed with the self -funding proposal, the
Village would have the contract on the Agenda for June 1.5
and the program could be instituted on July 1. Mayor
Krause reported that she had discussed the matter with
Mr. Ronchetto, Chairman of the Finance Commission, and lie
had ral.sed t-wo technical questions as to the price quotes
regardin.g the rating of the insurance company and. the method
of claims made 'versus claims incurred, This matter seems
to have been answered satisfactorily and it was the general.
consensus of the Committee of the Whole that the matter
be scheduled, for the June 1.5 Agenda for formal adoption
of the contract with. Fort.. Dearborn.

Article VIII Flood Plain
The existing flood plain ordinance is being deleted and a new ordinance
recommended that will conform to the requirements of The Federal Emergency
Management Agency, and permit the Village of Mount Prospect to enter the
regular phase of the flood insurance program. The present flood plain
regulation does not conform with the program requirements and therefore it'
is mandatory that a new flood plain regulation be adopted.
Werequest that the proposed modifications be forwarded to the Village Board for
