COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
JUNE 27, 1989
I. ROLL CALL
N
The meeting was called to order at 7:34 p.m. Present at the meeting 'were.
Mayor Gerald L. Farley; Trustees Ralph ,Arthur, Mark Busse, Timothy Corcoran,
Leo Floros, George Van Geem and Theodore Wattenberg. Also present at the
meeting were: Village Manager John Fulton Dixon, Assistant Village Manager
Michael Janonis, Police Chief Ronald Pavlocl, Deputy Fire Chief Del Uireich and
Finance Director David Jepson. Also present were three persons from the print
media.
II. MINUTES
The Minutes of the Committee of the Whole meeting of June 13, 1989 were
accepted and filed.
There were no citizens wishing to address the Board and the Committee moved
on to the next item of business.
Village resident Adelaide Thulin discussed with Committee members the
desirability of having Mount Prospect participate in the Sister Cities International
Program. Ms. 'Thulin explained that this is a well-established program that dates
back to the end of World War B when it was promoted y then. President
Eisenhower as a means to foster a greater understanding of other peoples and
cultures throughout the world. Ms. Thulin, noted that many surrounding
communities including Des Plaines and Arlington. Heights have adopted Sister
Cities or are in the process of doing so.
Ms. Thulin explained that, such participation usually results in a tremendous
amount of information being exchanged between the two cities as well as increased
travel, cultural exchanges and the possibility of economic development.
Ms. Thulin explained that the steps necessary to join the program included the
fortnation of a not-for-profit corporation which would then solicit nernberships and
raise money through various fund-raising events. There was a one-time $375
application that would accompany the Village's application. Once made, the
Village would receive .listing of cities which had profiles similar to the Village
of Mount Prospect. The donors to the program would then have the right to vote
on which city the illagge should establish `a relationship with.
There was generally favorable discussion 'among Committee members. Trustee
Van Geem asked what, if any, financial support the not-for-profit organization
would seek from the Village, lis. T"hulin indicated that she anticipated most, if
not all, of the funding necessary for the program would be raised through private
contributions and fond -raising efforts. Ao,vever, they may in the future make a
smell financial request from the Village. It was also indicated that the overall
endorsement and support of the Village government would be helpful in
legitimizing this effort.
It was the consensus of the Committee members that the Village endorse and
encourage participation in this program. Mayor Farley directed staff to prepare
a memo outlining the Village's participation in this program.
...ft0AARM
Committee members discussed the proposal by the public Safety Facility
Committee to solicit iroposals for a Space Utilization Study of the Public Safety
Building; This request arises out; of work that the Committee has been,
undertaking over the last several months. It was anticipated that 'the Committee
would be ready to present a full report to the Mayor and :Board of Trustees at
the time these proposals were received. By doing this, the Committee members
would know what the cost of the next step in the process would be.
Discussion among Committee members was generally favorable, however, Trustee
Corcoran indicated that he would like to wee the Committee issue its report before
soliciting proposals from consultants. He felt that additional facts and information
regarding deficiencies in the building needed to be addressed.
Trustee Floros indicated that in all likelihood the Board would solicit an outside
opinion regarding the condition of the building regardless of what the staff
recommendation was.
Trustee "fan Geern indicated that his support for soliciting proposals should in no
way be construed as support for a new public Safety Building. Staff indicated that
this was simply 'a preliminary step much like that which was undertaken during the
Public "forks facility study. Some of the range of options to be reviewed included
rehabilitation of the existing facility, expansion of the facility and the possibility
of building a new, facility at a different site.
-2-
After further discussion, it was the consensus of Committee members to solicit
proposals from various his study wouldonsultants include t��tion Study :the Public
of the existing " facility,
Safety, ,Boal Space,
extensive discussions with Fire and Police staff to establish operational needs and
the development of square foot requirements as well as preliminary cost estimates
to address various options.
Village Manager John Fulton Dixon indicated that he felt confident that the price
for such a Study would not exceed $25,000.
Mr. Dixon reviewed with Committee members a proposal by the Public Works
Director to make bulk purchase of snow removal salt from. the Illinois Department
of Transportation rather than the Northwest Municipal Conference. Mr. Dixon
indicated over the past several years, the IDOT price for salt had been
considerably less than the Conference price.
Committee: members unanimously approved the recommendation of the public
Works Director to enter into a joint purchase of salt with the Illinois Department
of Transportation.
The Village Manager also discussed the recently released Tax Rates for Wheeling
Township and indicated that future reassessments in the area would reflect
favorably upon the , Village's Tax Rate.
Mr. Dixon also indicated that the 4th of July festivities were being planned for the
Village of Mount :prospect and encouraged all citizens to take advantage of the
festivities.
VII. ANY OTHER BUSINESS
Trustee Arthur announced that he would not be in town for the July 5 Board
meeting.
Trustee Van Geem indicated that he had attended a State Cable convention
Organized in lame part by Cable Administrator Kate- Giet and some of her fellow
cable administrators. He indicated that the convention was very informative and
helpful in his understanding of the cable process.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
T0: Mayor G. L. "Skip" Farley
FROM: David C. Jepson, Finance Director
DATE: June 23, 1989
SUBJECT: Finance Commission Responsibilities
At the March 16, 1989 meeting of the Village of Mount Prospect Finance Commission,
the Commission members discussed the role of the Commission and decided to make
the following recommendations to the Mayor:
1.. To fill the vacancies on the Commission to bring the number of
Commissioners to nine.
2. To appoint a Chairman of the Commission.
3. To expand the scope of Finance Commission to include review of other
specific finance areas in addition to the budget for the purpose of
making recommendations to the Village Board. Some of the specific areas
mentioned were the Annual Audit, Management Letter, Budget Review, Tax
Levy Requirements, Capital Improvement Program Financing, Revenue
Sources, Investment Policy, Risk Management Program (Insurance) and
other special topics.
Following is a brief explanation of the topics mentioned in item 3 above and the
proposed role of the Finance Commission:
Annual Audit - The audit of the Village's Annual Financial Statements
is usually completed by the end of July with the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) completed some time in August. The CAFR
contains a wealth of financial information and includes not only the
results of the previous fiscal year, but also a number of supplemental
schedules and ten-year statistical reports. Governmental accounting
principles are becoming more and more complex and the result is a
voluminous report. Last year's CAFR contained 205 pages.
It is almost impossible for the Village Board to review a document like
this at a Board meeting, and as a result, a very limited amount of the
information in the report is generally known, except to the Village
Staff. I believe the Finance Commission could review the results in
greater depth, looking specifically at trends and the level of fund
balances in various funds. The result could be a summary report to the
Village Board indicating strengths, weaknesses and areas of concern.
Mayor G. L. "Skip" Farley
Page 2
Finance Commission Responsibilities
Management Letter - Along with the audit of the Village's financial
activity, the Village's auditors provide a Management Letter indicating
areas of concern regarding financial policies or procedures and their
recommendations for improving internal control. I believe it would be
ideal for the auditors to meet with the Finance Commission to discuss
this letter. The result could be a more objective report to the Village
Board and practical recommendations for action.
Budget Review - One of the ongoing responsibilities of the Finance
Commission has been a review of the budget prior to the hearings before
the Village Board. I believe this has been very worthwhile, not only
because of the input to the Village Board, but also because of the
opportunity it affords the various Village Staff members to discuss
their priorities with a "citizen group." I would expect this respon-
sibility to continue.
In addition to the review of the proposed budget, I believe it would be
a good practice to send current monthly budget reports to the Commissio-
ners and for the Commission to formally review the six-month budget
report. It is from this report that budget amendments are initiated,
and I think this would be a bridge for the Commissioners from the
current year's budget to the proposed budget for the next year.
Tax Levy - The tax levy for the next fiscal year is included in the
proposed budget. For example, the 1989 tax levy requirement was
estimated in December 1988 and included in the 89/90 budget. The actual
Tax Levy Ordinance will be adopted by the Village Board in October or
November of 1989. I believe there would be real value in reviewing the
tax levy needs and projections with the Finance Commission prior to
inclusion in the proposed budget. It would then follow that the Com-
missioners would again review the levy requirements prior to the
adoption of the Ordinance and provide their findings to the Village
Board.
Capital Improvement Program Financing - There are several major
capital improvement projects pending, such as the Public Safety
Building, street resurfacing, and other infrastructure needs as well as
ongoing needs. I believe the Finance Commission could provide valuable
insight and recommendations regarding means of financing these projects.
Revenue Sources - One of the ongoing requirements of financial
planning is a review of the "mix" of revenue sources that are used to
finance Village services and projects. Again, I believe the Finance
Commission could provide valuable assistance to the Village Board
regarding questions concerning various fees or adding new sources of
revenue for the Village.
Mayor G. L. "Skip" Farley

Finance Commission Responsibilities
Investment Policy - The Village adopted an Investment Policy in 1985
which provides guidelines for cash management, investments, and report-
ing investment activity. This policy should be updated and reviewed on
a periodic basis. I would value suggestions from the Finance Commission
in this area.
Risk Management Program - The Village established a partial self-
insurance program for medical claims in 1982 and,for workers' compensa-
tion, liability and property claims in 1984. The program has been
cost-effective for the Village, but I believe adequate insurance
coverage at an acceptable premium level continues to be my greatest
concern.
Medical costs have literally skyrocketed over the past several years. We
just received underwriting information for the period of July 1, 1989 -
June 30, 1990 and the total costs are expected to increase from $754,600
to $982,1150, or some 30%. We have not been able to buy liability
insurance since 1986, and currently the only coverage the Village has is
from the HELP Pool which includes a $1,000,000 deductible.
I do not expect these types of concerns to be resolved overnight, but I
believe the Finance Commission could help in working toward possible
long-term solutions.
Other Special Topics - Other areas where the Finance Commission could
provide assistance would be in the area of auditor selection and
consultants for bond issues, as well as any other finance -related
issue.
The above areas include a fairly comprehensive overview of Village financial
interests and would require a strong commitment from the Finance Commission.
However, I believe their assistance in review of these matters and their recommen-
dations would prove invaluable in preserving the Village's strong financial
position.
After you have had a chance to review this information and provide your comments,
I would like to meet with Dick Bachhuber to set up a tentative meeting schedule
for the balance of the fiscal year.
If you have any questions or if I can provide any additional information, please
do not hesitate to contact me. (I am enclosing a copy of the Municipal Code
regarding the Finance Commission for your information.)

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR GERALD L. FARLEY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
FROM: VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE: JULY 6, 1989
SUBJECT: IMPACT OF ILLINOIS STATE INCOME TAX AND GASOLINE
TAX INCREASES
Attached is a memorandum from Representative David Harris indicating that the Illinois
Economic and Fiscal Commission has estimated that the Village of Mount Prospect will
receive $1,615,835 in the first year and $1,738,385 in the second year of increases in the
Income Tax. We anticipate that we would be receiving the increased Income Tax money
on a regular basis in either September or October of this year and that for this fiscal
year, we would receive an additional $1 million. Since we will not be receiving any
substantial amount of money before the asphalt plants are closed, it would be hard for
us to increase by any significant measure the Resurfacing Program for this year.
The Board needs to give direction to staff concerning the utilization of these funds.
There has been some discussion concerning utilizing these funds to move the Street
Resurfacing Program forward at a rapid pace. The $3.3 million is approximately one-
third of the unfunded outstanding resurfacing needed to be done. In the present Budget,
we are spending over $1 million. If we were to add an additional $1 million to street
resurfacing in a year's period of time this would double our present effort and would be
very close to the maximum amount of street work that could be handled in one year
without serious disruption to residential streets.
Preliminary discussions have bene held with the Board concerning the status of the Public
Safety Building.. Staff is estimating that extensive remodeling and/or reconstruction of
this building would cost about $3,500,000.. The Board may wish to discuss utilizing an
additional $1 million in road programs in the next two years and then determine how
the additional $1.3 million might be spent, whether part of it might go into a Debt
Service Fund or allow us to do additional street improvements in the following year.
In addition, we anticipate an increase in Motor Fuel Tax Funds which could also help
speed up the Road Program by as much as $110,000 in the first year to $214,000 in the
second year. These initial funds could also be utilized to finish off Prospect Avenue.
It would even be possible to complete the rest of Prospect Avenue for $500,000 to
$600,000 and have the work done this year. This option may be attractive since we
would be able to finish the downtown and would save some money because of the cost
to mobilize each year.
The staff awaits direction from the Board.

Yesterday the Illinois General Assembly passed an income
tax increase of 20% for the next two years. The plan which
was passed was very similar to the one which passed the House
of Representatives earlier this year and about which I previ-
ously wrote you; however, this increase is slightly greater
than the previous one.
The Illinois Economic & Fiscal Commission (the revenue
forecasting agency of the Illinois legislature) estimates that
Mount Prospect will receive the following amounts of revenue
from the tax hike because of its share of the Local Government
Distributive Fund:
FY '90 (Jul 1, 189 - Jun 30, 190): $1,615,835
FY '91 (Jul 1, '90 - Jun 30, 191): 1,738,385
Again, I mention to you that this is a temporary tax
increase which will be reviewed during the 1991 legislative
session.
Feel free to contact me if I can provide any additional
information on this matter.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: John Fulton Dixon, Village Manager
FROM: David C. Jepson, Finance Director p4"'
DATE: July 7, 1989
SUBJECT: Medical Insurance Costs 7/1/88 - 6/30/89
and Renewal Rates 7/1/89 - 6/30/90
Over the past several years, there has been a growing concern over the escalating
costs of medical insurance. At the local level, almost every municipality has
experienced annual double-digit increases in costs, and at the national level there
was a recent cover story in Newsweek about the high cost of medical care nation-wide.
Also, at our recent national GFOA conference one of the major topics was the increase
in health insurance costs. The Village Plan's net costs per participant increased 23%
between 85/86 and 86/87, there was no increase from 86/87 to 87/88 and then from 87/88
to 88/89, the increase was 330. On the whole, the Village has had better experience
than most municipal JL - les, 'Jut it is a very real concern when costs can increase 33% in
one year.
Attached is a summary of the Village's medical insurance costs for the period of
July 1, 1988 - June 30, 1989. The summary separates the various costs for the three
groups (Village, employees, Library employees, and Retirees) that are included in the
plan and for all participants in total. The summary also includes the average total
cost and the average net cost per participant for each group. -
The total cost per participant is the cost of insurance and claims before member
contributions, whereas the net cost is after member contributions have been deducted.
It should be pointed out that the variations in the total cost per participant
normally will be greater in the smaller groups (Library and Retirees) and total cost
is also affected by the number of single and family participants. (The higher the
number of family participants, the, higher the total cost will be.) The Overall net
cost per participant increased from $1,712 overall in 87/88 to $2,280 in the current
year, for an increase of 33%.
The Library participants and Retirees pay a premium based upon estimated costs for t
year. Under ideal conditions, the net cost, for Library participants and Retire
would be $-0- if costs actually equaled the premium charged. However, it is unlike
that these costs will actually balance out over a one year period. The followi
summary of net costs for the four years gives a more accurate picture of these costs]:

Medical Insurance Costs 7/1/88 - 6/30/89
and Renewal Rates 7/1/89 - 6/30/90
It should be mentioned that the rates for 7/1/88 - 6/30/89 were based upon estimates
that were made in June 1988 and were lower than actual costs indicate they should have
been. The result is the increase in rates from 88/89 to 89/90 are significantly
higher than the anticipated trend increase with the single rate increasing 41% and the
family rate 30%.
One of the other ways to measure medical insurance costs is to compare costs as a
percentage of Payroll. Following is a comparison of the actual amounts for 85/86 -
88/89 and the estimated medical costs for 89/90 compared to the 89/90 budget amount
for personal services:

From the above table it can be seen that the percentages were fairly stable for
85/86 - 87/88 and then for both total costs and net costs the percentage jumped almost
2% for 88/89 and 89/90. Measuring net medical costs as a percentage of payroll costs
is probably the best, indicator of a change in relative costs.
We will continue to monitor medical insurance costs and report the findings to you.

SUBJECT: Costs to Open Village Hall Tuesday Evenings
and Each Saturday Morning
The estimated cost to keep the Village Hall open from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM on
Tuesday evenings for limited services would be approximately $1,200 for the
balance of the 89/90 fiscal year and approximately $1,560 for a full year. The
above cost is based upon the premise that there would be two employees available
during this time period, one Customer Services Clerk and one management personnel.
The Customer Services Clerk would be paid at a straight -time rate and the manage-
ment employee would work a flexible schedule to compensate for the additional
time.
The above costs are calculated in the following manner:
Tuesday Evening Opening:
The additional cost to be open each Saturday morning from 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon
would be approximately $3,240 for the balance of 89/90 and $4,320 for a full year.
These coasts include two Customer Service Clerks who would be paid at a time and
one-half rate and out-of-pocket; fringe benefits. (It, tags been our practice to pay
employees who come in on Saturday at a time and one-half rate.) The total costs
to be open each Saturday would be approximately 30% higher than the above costs
because I did riot ,include the costs that are currently incurred for being open one
Saturday per month and each Saturday during the month of April.

Saturday Morning 0 enin
The above costs are only for cashiers to be available in Finance to collect water
bills, sell licenses and provide limited information. If the Village Hall is to
be open during either of these periods, there should also be consideration given
to staffing Inspection Services with a clerical employee. Currently there is an
Inspection Services Clerk working during the Saturday hours the Village Hall is
open. If one person would be in Inspection Services during the expanded hours,
the additional costs for Finance and Inspection Services would be as follows:

We do not keep a count of the number of residents who come in on the Saturdays we
are open, but usually there are as many as we have during the week. The volume
varies and is dependent upon the due date for water bills and certain licenses.
It is not possible to estimate the number of residents who would utilize the
Tuesday evening hours as it is something new for the Village. However, I believe
the residents would appreciate the Village Hall being open after regular business
hours and would take advantage of the opportunity.
