CALL TO ORDER - ROLL CALL II. ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF OCTOBER 26, 1993 III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD IV. DEPARTMENTAL ffEVIEWS - INSPECT -ION SERVICES During the last round of Budget Hearings, it was determined that it would be beneficial to conduct a series of workshops during which the Village Board could review the operations of each Village Department and Division. The review would consist of an overview of the Department's mission, organizational structure, staffing levels, scope of services, contracting out, use of technology, etc. Where appropriate, comparative data would be provided to show staffing levels and scope of services in like communities. The purpose of the workshops is to provide elected officials and the public with a better understanding of how the Village operates and provides services. It is also an opportunity to raise and discuss issues affecting Departmental operations (internal issues) as well as Village -wide concerns (external issues). This format is designed to take place away from the "glare" of the annual budget hearings so that the discussion can focus on operations and issues, and not the bottom line. It is hoped that the discussion in this forum will then provide the basis for setting the fiscal parameters that will guide the preparation of the 1994/1995 budget. Tuesday evening's meeting will focus on the Inspection Services Department. Appropriate staff will be in attendance to facilitate discussion. During the months of November and December, the Mayor and Board of Trustees will again engage in detailed discussions of the Village's financial condition. As identified last year during the Mount Prospect 2000 discussions, the Village is facing a serious revenue/expenditure imbalance going into the 1994/1995 fiscal year. Current estimates place the deficit at approximately $1.3 million. Existing fund balances, while sufficient to cover cash flow needs and emergency situations, cannot be relied on to help bridge the gap. Revenue increases and/or service reductions will need to be carefully considered. The results of those discussions will set the parameters that staff will use to prepare the 199411995 Budget. L N M1 an Tuesday evening's discussion will focus on two because of timing issues, must be finalized within I meet certain Statutory and logistical requirements.

The Tax Levy Ordinance must be adopted and on file with the County Clerk before the end of the calendar year. The Truth in Taxation Act establishes certain notice and public hearing requirements which the Village must meet as the Levy is established. The process will "officially" begin at the November 11 and the attached memo from Mr. Jepson outlines a s all legal requirements. I would suggest that the Villas the Budget Workshop scheduled for Tuesday, Nove Board meeting.

MANAGER:1 REPORT 93 Village Board meeting rated timeline for meeting iard consider designating r 30, as a Special Village discussion regarding the let discussion, therefore, This modified schedule ment for establishing the and answer your MINUTES COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE OCTOBER 26, 1993 CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by Mayor Gerald Farley at 7:33 p.m. Present at the meeting were: Trustees Timothy Corcoran, Richard Hendricks, Paul Hoefert, Michaele Skowron and Irvana Wilks. Absent from the meeting was: Trustee George Clowes.

MINUTES Motion by Trustee Skowron to approve the Minutes of August 24, 1993 and Seconded by Trustee Hoefert. Trustee Wilks abstained. Motion to approve the Minutes of September 14, 1993 by Trustee Wilks and Seconded by Trustee Hoefert. 'Minutes were approved with one abstention by Trustee Hendricks. Trustee Wilks requested a minor modification of her discussion concerning SWANCC, page 7, of the Minutes. The correction was read aloud and the Minutes will be revised by the following meeting. 111. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD Jed Peeler, 316 North Elm Street spoke. Mr. Peeler is a 40 -year resident and he read a statement concerning the ban on firearms. This ban includes rifles and other types of weapons within the Village of Mount Prospect through a Cook County regulation. He requested the Village Board consider repeal of this law in Mount Prospect through the exercise of their home rule powers. IV. SINGLE-FAMILY HOME CONVERSION ORDINAN Tnmdee Hoefert stated this issue centered on the number of properties within the Village in which single-family homes have been converted to multi -family dwelling units. He stated these conversions are illegal under the current Code. Trustee Hoefert stated he would consider a phase-out of these non -conforming structures in order to make them meet current Codes. He would favor the enforcement of this Code on a complaint basis to minimize impact on staff time. The phase-out could be accomplished through a five-year amortization period. He felt the extended family situation could be accommodated if there were certain restrictions to the structure; for example, an interior passage and there was a no - rent situation. Some notification would have to be handled through the Real Estate Transfer or. water billing records the Village currently has. He also suggested there be penalties considered for conversions without permits. Village Attomey Everette Hill stated the best possible way to address these illegal conversions is through a complaint system. Even though many existing conversions are illegal,, some may, in fact, have been in place prior to the passage of the current Code restrictions. These pre-existing converstions would be considered existing, ndn-conforming uses. For example, what to do when a complaint is made during the amortization time frame. He recommended that the burden of proof be put on the owner to show the unit was not illegal and in existence prior to 1964 which was the date the Code was adopted. Another suggestion is to consider asking residents to register their unit with the Village and the Village could cite non -registered owners. The key to registration is the notification campaign carried out by the Village. Through the Real Estate Transfer Tax, a property could be recorded at the time of transfer and there has to be special consideration in order not to hold up a sell of real estate due to the illegal use. In order to do this, the item could be attached to the title of the real estate. Resident BIN Reddy, 105 South Elm, spoke. He currently lives across the street from an illegal non -conforming structure. He stated the home is in disrepair and he would ask the Board to consider Trustee Hoefert's Ordinance to correct these non -conforming uses. He has also experienced this problem at his previous home in Mount Prospect. The home in question is at the comer of Pine and Highland and currently is a non -conforming use. Resident Gerald Pozsgay, 516 North Pine, spoke. He has experienced problems with multi -family homes in single-faftly areas firsthand through garbage problems. He suggested that the Village approach real estate people and have them accountable for making sure the non -conforming uses are not continued. - 2 - Trustee Corcoran stated he supports the concept but would like to define "in-law arrangement." Trustee Skowron stated that she had supported the concept in the past when she was on the Zoning Board and this is not the appropriate use within an R-1 District. Trustee Wilks questioned how much staff time and attorney time would be included to enforce this Ordinance. Attorney Hill stated there should not be a lot of attorney time. Primarily because the attorneys are already at the Court when these complaints would come up so that would not incur additional time and commitment. Chuck Beni; stated that if the recommendation to pursue this is on a complaint basis, it would not have a significant impact on staff time. Trustee Wilks- recommended the staff look into other property maintenance problems and thinks there are probably enough Ordinances on the books now to enforce this. She was concemed about giving the job to staff and attorneys if we don't have enough staff currently. This will over -burden staff further. Mayor Farley stated he supports this concept. He recommended that staff start to prepare the Ordinance because there appears to be a majority of support on the part of the Board. His only reservation concerns the short five-year period for possible revision. This period may be too short and the effort of the owner may not be enough to get in compliance within this period. Trustee Hendricks stated he supports the enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance and supports Trustee Hoefert's suggestions concerning this issue. Village Manager stated he is only concerned about staff time allocation and working this additional task into the current duties of various Inspectors. This issue is part of the evolution of the community toward more property maintenance and less development as a community ages. Property maintenance is a very time- consuming process which must be considered when looking at staff allocation. He stated it is important to get a clear commitment from the Board as this Ordinance is enforced due to the numerous concerns residents will raise as this Ordinance is enforced. There appears to be no problem about using available media sources to get the message out. He would look to put the burden of proof on the homeowner which seems very reasonable in terms of minimizing staff impact. - 3 - V1. Mayor Farley stated he hoped Inspectors would exercise judgment enforcement and accounting for the senior population which may be affected by this and suggested fiscal and staff impact of enforcement be identified prior to the start of this project. DEPARTMENTAL REVIEWS - PUBLIC WORKS This was a continuation of the previous presentation, Public Works Director Herb Weeks introduced Sandy Clark who is the Forestry Superintendent. Sandy presented the Governor's Award for Urban Forestry to the top local government in the Northern Illinois Region to the Village Board. Mr. Weeks continued listing items which must be accounted for through his Department which included unfunded Mandates such as alternate fuel systems and replacement of vehicles with alternate fuel by the 1998 deadline. Mr. Weeks stated that natural gas is currently the most fuel-efficient in terms of alternate fuels among the alternative fuels of propane, natural gas and electric. However, natural gas has problems with re -fueling. Trustee Corcoran suggested the Village utilize the Northwest Municipal Conference in pursuing centralized fueling and funding as this Mandate comes closer to fruition. Herb Weeks continued to list the various other Mandates including EPA water procedures to eliminate lead and flood improvements. He stated that he is able to maintain the level of service he is currently providing to the Village but would have difficulty adding additional services without additional staff. Trustee Hoefert inquired about the status of hiring a space planner for the Village Hall. Mr. Janonis stated has not reviewed that proposal and plans on taking another look at that once the Budget review is completed. mpleted. General discussion followed concerning Public Works Fire Department Review. Chief Cavello, Deputy Chief Jackson, Deputy Chief Ulrelch and Captain Dumovich were present. Chief Cavello began by stating that his purpose was to identify services and issues confronting the Department. Among the issues listed, Chief Cavello stated that training, building, apparatus manning and apparatus purchasing are the main issues concerning the Fire Department. He has been investigating the possibility of increasing manning on vehicles; identifying the possibility of building a training tower for ground and fire training; and building or relocating the Station at Kensington and River for improved response time. He stated that the apparatus manning issue concerns the idea of assigning additional people per vehicle. Enhanced EMS services would be provided through the purchase of additional life-support equipment for the fire engines themselves. One issue which is immediately pending is the need for a regional training or a local training facility. Trustee Corcoran suggested that the possibility of a regional training facility should be investigated at the policy level of the Village Board. Chief Cavello, stated that his first priority is to consider a 17 -man shift and then to equip a second apparatus. In order to accomplish this, he has outlined the possible recommendations and the cost in Option #3 contained in his booklet of information. General discussion followed. VI. ANY OTHER BUSINESS Trustee Wilks wanted to update the Board concerning Crimeline. The premiere is scheduled for November 1. She was very impressed with the opportunity to watch staff work together.

Laura Rushke,606 Na-Wa-Ta,approache the Board hmdiscuss the Park 0sthot/5nhpo|Disthci She said that citizens should voice opinion and asked whether the land was for sale before School District asked about property. VVhcd does Village mean byswapping? Effect ofland not aaopen land pnall residents - study? Wants tosee the original contract - has not received; not the same notice as School District residents. What can the School District not use Lions Park? Trustee Corcoran read the Village's statement regarding the Park site. Pat Wolf, 810 South William, stated that the School District is desperate to find a site. This hurts the Village Board. She submitted a Petition signed by 100 residents of Mount Prospect and Des Plaines to keep the site as a Park. No notification has been given to the public, Park is in flood plain. They are concerned about flooding into personal property. Traffic study has increased and with school, traffic will be increased further. More consideration is necessary. Don Maxwell, 632 South Edward, stated that if new schools are necessary, this site will kill the Referendum. He does not want to lose the park to a school. He feels property values will be affected with a park site versus a school. Where would the school have gone if the previous referendum had passed. Trustee Corcoran stated that the Village Board and other Boards are considering all comments and a copy of our tape would go to other Boards. Trustee George Clowes stated the Village Board did not release the information on the School site. The decision to release the information was made by the School Board itself. The School Board has the ultimate decision on the site. Resident Pat Wolf said School District 57 has the ultimate decision but if the Village does not sell the site to them, then construction of a school on this site would not be an option to the School District. Trustee Hoefert stated that if the School site was under consideration then the Village would have a Public Hearing to determine citizen input. There would be no closed door meetings or approvals of selling this site to the School District without such input. IV. FUGITIVE MOUNT PROSPECT Trustee Wilks said that she had seen a similar pi* vacation which prompted her to write the memo reque,� possibility of starting such a program in Mount Prosl based on the information of the program in Florida, th(. for one week and had already caught two fugitives. TI for replay. Trustee Wilks has talked to the appropriate in such a project. Follow-up comments from the staff would be a dedicated phone line for recording calls fi General discussion followed among the Trustees. Or raised was the start-up cost. Cheryl Pasalic stated that the only additional cost she cost of the dedicated phone line. 'am in Florida while on g the staff investigate the A. She also stated that ,ogram only had been on program would be taped iff that would be involved ve been positive. There i citizens. the questions that was arrive at would be the Chief Ronald Pavlock stated he thought it was an excellent idea and it would improve crime prevention. He thought that the cost could be minimized and there would not be any expenditure of Police overtime for puffing together the program by rearranging the work day. Officer Bill Roscop felt that the program idea fits into the overall crime prevention program as established by the Village. He also stated that it was a good idea to focus the program to Mount Prospect residents, Many times the local newspaper may not provide the coverage necessary to focus on crime prevention aspects necessary that this program would provide. Officer Roscop also stated that he thought the program should initially be approximately ten to fifteen minutes and did not necessarily have to focus 'only on crime. It could also talk about prevention tips and other information for the public. Then after, the program could expand based on the amount of information available. Trustee Hoefert said apparently the cost is minimal. He questioned the fact whether we had enough fugitives to justify running a lengthy program or not. Chief Pavlock stated he would prefer a shorter program at first due to short staff and full program. Officer Roscop stated that we could include bond jumpers and other individuals that would have connections to Mount Prospect. Village Manager Michael Janonis stated that we could utilize a wider audience to determine interest and expand over lime by starting small. Trustee Corcoran asked whether it would be viable to check with any sponsors to help defray any possible costs. Cheryl Pasalic stated they are bound not to get sponsors for paid -for -public access programs but there is a possibility to solicit donations. Trustee Corcoran stated whatever options for additional revenue he would be interested in. Trustee Wilks; thanked the staff for their support and stated that any money saved in crime prevention is well worth the program itself. This program would give the residents an opportunity to identify the bad guys and it is important to stress that crime is not running rampant in Mount Prospect. Chief Pavlock stated that they are always looking for new ideas. - 3 - Resident Ernie Lassie at 305 South Elm spoke. He stated that he cannot understand why the Village Board is so concerned about spending $1300 for a program when they hired the Assistant Village Manager when the position does not show up in the budget document. Village Manager Michael Janonis stated the Assistant position was budgeted for an approved by the Village Board. The document that Mr. Lassie is referring to appears to be the draft budget. Trustee Corcoran stated that every item has to be funded and approved by Board approval. V. DEPARTMENT REVIEWS - PUBLIC'WORKS DEPARTMENT Village Manager Michael Janonis stated that the purpose of these meetings with the Departments is to provide basic information and educate the Village Board about the Department operations in preparation for upcoming Budget Hearings. Public Works Director Herb Weeks stated he appreciates the,opportunity to provide insight into the Public Works' operations. He stated that the Public Works Department operates as a true Public Works Department with all employees cross - trained thereby creating a labor force that is very flexible. Adding additional services and programs would create a drain on resources based on the level of staffing that the Public Works Department current has. Staffing levels have not changed in five years according to the Park Ridge survey. Public Works Department let 30 contracts which amounts to approximately $15 million in Public Works projects over the last fiscal year. Some of these contracts included water and refuse. The mission of the Public Works Department includes preserving the infrastructure, therefore, they have to work with at least 22 other governmental agencies and adhere to numerous unfunded Mandates which have stressed resources. Village Manager Michael Janonis'pointed out to the Village Board on page 11 of the report showing the staffing levels which have rot changed in the last five years. This points out that the Public, Works Department is getting more out of employees without adding employees for services. Trustee Hoefert stated this appears to be a lot of material. He also asked the question, "What is being done about the old well sites! Can we sell these off?" Herb Weeks stated that under the JAWA requiremenl;s,, the Village must maintain a reservoir to supply needs. Therefore, if JAWA goes down, they are able to draw from the wells. For example, they test the wells every two months to make sure they are in operating order so that not all well sites are viable for selling. The Village also turns over all the water in the storage tanks every two days. - 4 - Trustee Hoefert said are any sites capable of being sold. Herb Weeks stated that not all sites have buildable capabilities, therefore, their value would be very limited. Trustee Hoefert asked if JAWA goes .down, how long a supply does the Village have? Herb Weeks stated he could provide water to the Village for two weeks.' Michael Janonis stated that JAWA is looking at emergency alternatives to wells because they have decided that wells are not the long-term solution for emergency situations. They are also looking at interconnections. Trustee Hoefert asked what are the costs of repairing wells that have gone bad. Herb Weeks stated that due to the depth of the wells, they can easily be fowled and the maintenance cost is substantial. He also stated that the Village has limited interconnects with Des Plaines and Arlington Heights for additional water if necessary. - Michael Janonis reminded the Village Board the interconnects cannot supply the entire town. They are for limited use only. Trustee Wilks stated that she noticed the point brought up in the report about the problems at Village Hall. Herb Weeks stated that when the Village purchased the building from its original owner, the bank, numerous changes were made to construct offices. Since the building is being used for a purpose it was not designed for, it has stressed the heating and air-conditioning system and the system itself is almost 30 years old. There is a substantial cost in maintaining and repairing the heating and air- conditioning system. Many windows leak and they have major heat transfer problems due to the size of the windows. Trustee Hoefert asked if the Village staff had looked into the possibility of hiring a space planner to review the utilization of space in Village Hall. Herb Weeks stated that much of the equipment in the Village Hall is obsolete and there are numerous deficiencies. It is difficult to determine where he should start in trying to address some of these problems. Trustee Skowron stated that many things need to be looked at and possibly upgraded in the review of the Village Hall. - 5 - Michael Janonis stated that the intention was not to talk exclusively about the Village Hall but the other services that Public Works pr vides. Trustee Wilks asked how recycling was working in the multi -family dwelling units. Lisa Angell stated that they are receiving approximately 70°x6 participation. Some of the larger complexes they have limited cooperation, i She is working on some of the problems attributed with multi -family recycling specifically with contamination of materials due to mixing of materials. Trustee Wilks asked if the size of the containers are still a problem as before Lisa Angell stated that the container size has been solved but there are problems with people taking the containers when they move outof the apartment. Trustee Wilks complimented the staff on the recyclin'9 program itself and has noticed that other communities have used Mount Prospect as an example of a responsive recycling program. Trustee Wilks also asked how the public education is going. Trustee Hoefert stated that since Mount Prospect was one of the leaders, they must maintain that lead over the other, cities. He suggested in taking the lead with contract negotiations next year. He also asked the stiff to consider including other materials in negotiations of the contract including scrap metal and construction crap debris. Lisa Angell stated that she is interested in looking at all areas of waste in order to reduce the waste stream. Trustee Clowes questioned the cost of the recycling, !program and specifically where the $29,000 comes from as pointed out in the report. Lisa Angell stated that the $29,000 is the average net!recovery from the sale of recyclable materials. Trustee Clowes; asked what is the avoided cost of the recycled materials compared to the cost of landfilling the materials. Lisa Angell stated it was approximately $,26 per ton. Trustee Clowes asked if that cost figure is based on thei cost of avoidance of the material as if it was landfilled. Lisa Angell stated it currently costs more to recycle than"to landfill. The Village will receive a diversion credit from SWA14CC when SWANCC comes on line. IlI111=1 Trustee Clowes asked if the Village staff had any idea about the fee paid to SWANCC. Usa Angell stated that it may cost more for SWANCC compared to landfilling it. However, it is anticipated that it will become cost effective over time. Trustee Corcoran stated that it appears as if the rate for SWANCC is very close to, the commercial rate. The Transfer Station is the long-term cost which is paid for over time. Trustee Skowron said the program reflects Mount Prospect's commitment to residents. It might be a good idea to provide the residents with information about where to send their waste in the future and opportunities to recycle. Lisa Angell stated residents are provided a complete list of available recycling sites in the northwest suburbs. Trustee Corcoran stated that the staff should consider reviewing the hauling contract and focusing on three years or longer or to ,amortize costs over time. SWANCC should provide draft language for other participants in the organization and look at economies of scale with other towns. Allow SWANCC to provide any information Mount Prospect may need in order to take some of the burden off the Mount Prospect staff. Lisa Angell stated that SWANCC has improved services recently in this effort. Trustee Corcoran stated that hopefully there will be no duplicated effort and the staff should be especially aware of avoiding this possibility. Lisa Angell stated that she does not know whether there are any ny duplication of services, however, much of the money is going into education at schools and trying to get the residents at the most basic level to participate in recycling. As far as she knows, there are no duplicated efforts in terms of education. Village Manager Michael Janonis stated that one of the areas of interest was the multi -family educational materials has been provided in different languages in an effort to reach all residents. Trust" Wilks said she had toured the Transfer Station and said that a good neighbor agreement was in place in order for residents to monitor operations at the Transfer Station. SWANCC offered to test waterwells in the River Forest Subdivision but had only one well owner take up the offer. - 7 - V1. Dave Jepson said they are looking to firm up the figures at this time and it appears that a large increase is on the horizon. However, there are some possibilities of cost offsets and will refine the figures in the near future in order to prepare for the budgeting process. Trustee Wilks stated it was her understanding that ;SWANCC is looking at residential and commercial waste to reduce the cost oUthe capital project of the Transfer Station. Lisa Angell stated that as far as she knows at this time, the focus is on residential only with the anticipation of adding commercial as necessary. Trustee Corcoran thought it was a good idea to bring as much waste as possible and to lower the cost of the facility. 'Trustee Corcoran suggested that we bring Public Works back for another night since there is quite a bit of material yet to be gone over. APARTMENT COMPLEX ISSUES - POTENTIAL FUNDING MECHANISM Trustee Corcoran stated that it was his understanding that' the staff is looking into a Special Service Area for apartment services funding ,as the preferred mechanism to fund additional services. Village Manager Michael Janonis stated that the funding proposal is to address concerns that are occurring in the south end of town. The Village Board has attempted to address some of these problems through three additional Police Officers. The staff has created an internal task force, to look at the problems concentrating on reviewing occupancy limits and property maintenance issues. It was found through this review that in order for the services to be provided, there needs to be a means to fund the necessary services. This funding mechanism of creating the Special Service Area was brought up tonight primarily because it must be in place by the end of the year. The Village Board has the option of creating a Special Service Area and determining -the use of the funds at a later date. The staff will track all expenses to justify the Special SeR,ics Area. Dave Jepson stated the mechanism for the Village Board to adopt the Ordinance includes a Public Hearing and a publication of the Notice in order for the persons in the Special Service Area to have an opportunity to voice their concerns. Residents in the Special Service Area can terminate the Special Service Area option if they have 51 % of the signatures of the registered voters and 51 % of the signatures of the property owners within the Special Service Area. This proposal has been reviewed by the Village Attorney and meets all necessary legal requirements for creating a Special Service Area. This is'a different type of District which is typically created. It is usual for most Special Service Areas to be created to fund Capital Improvement Projects instead of just services. To meet the necessary deadline in order for this Special Service Area to get on the Levy for next year, it must be completed by the end of this year. Therefore, we are presenting the proposal tonight with a Public Hearing on Tuesday, October 5 and it is projected the Ordinance will approved at the second reading on December 7. Based on this time frame, the Village should begin receiving funds from the Special Service Area in late August or September of 1994. Based on the review of the value of the property contained within the Special Service Area, it is expected an average of every $.10 per hundred would generate approximately $48,000. The current Landlord/Tenant fee of $7.00 per unit was put in approximately 1983 and it has not changed since then. The Village gets approximately $39,000 from this fee but it is still difficult to raise the fee to generate the necessary revenue to provide the services necessary to keep this area in a proper condition. By establishing the District, the Village Board can establish the Tax Rate at a later date. Prior to the Village Board establishing the actual rate, the staff should have some type of estimates on the cost and services expected to be provided in the Special Service Area. Trustee Corcoran stated that it appears to make sense to him to identify the sources of revenue prior to utilizing the revenue. This is very similar to what most businesses do. Dave Jepson stated in reviewing the site and the services provided, this area appears to be receiving more services than other areas in the Village. Trustee Clowes asked why is Boxwood not included within the Special Service area. Trustee Skowron asked if staff had any idea of the number of property owners within the proposed area. Dave Jepson stated he was not exactly sure of the number based on inaccurate records from the Township and the County. Also, the properties must be contiguous. Trustee Wilks asked what are the general expectations of additional services which these funds may be used for. Dave Jepson suggested the possibility of additional Police Officers, additional Inspectors and funding additional Human Services. Also, currently the Public Works Department is expending services in this area for clean up and vehicle removal. It is estimated the Village could obtain from $280,000 to $300,000 per year to fund these additional services. - 9 - Trustee Wilks asked if there must be a tracking the funds are going. Dave Jepson stated that all services will be i expended. Trustee WIlks asked if there had been any feedback concerning this Special Service Area. Dave Jepson stated he has contacted any official reply. Village Manager Janonis stated that the Village has capital improvements within the right-of-way itself. in order to show where tracked as money is Commonwealth Edison son but has not received put in services and Trustee Wilks stated she supports the program, however, she is concerned about the current disparity of taxing rates of apartment owners compared to other businesses and asked if there.is a possibility of legal action that could block this. Trustee Wilks further stated she felt it is important to maintain affordable housing stock in the Village, however, in an area that is demanding additional services, she is concerned about the inequities of that service being delivered. Resident Merrill Cotton, of 2710 BrIarwood Drive Wes% commented that he supports the Special Service Area and stated that it was important to identify the problems and services that are provided. Increase services' if there is a funding mechanism. He stated he is surprised the Village is proceeding faster than he had expected to address this problem. Resident Frank Vasney, at 2103 Jody Court spoke. He stated he had some concerns about the Special Service Area. As he remembers, when there was a water problem for all residents, all residents paid and all residents paid to buy land in the downtown. He felt that we had over -hired Firefighters and did not like the idea of Special Service Areas because it is selective taxation for services to be provided. He felt resources could be reallocated to provide de these services without additional taxes for this area. The cost should be borne by all Village residents. It is the responsibility of the Village not to drive people out of the Village. He would recommend against the Special Service Area. Trustee Wilks commented on Mr. Vasney's comments. ' She stated that some of his comments sounded a little bit contradictory. She stated the Village had put in Special Service Areas for water improvements and curb improvements. - 10 - Mr. Vasney stated Capital Improvements can be measured but not services. It is much more difficult to define services provided for the additional costs. He stated it was the responsibility of the general government to use other means necessary to generate enough revenue to spread the costs out among all residents. Trustee Hoefert stated there is a difference between homes and apartments. Apartments are typically businesses where land owners make a profit while homeowners typically are not renting out their home for a profit. The level of Police service provided to both residents is approximately the same, however, the demand is much higher in apartment areas. Trustee Clowes stated he was concerned about the cost being passed on to renters. He illustrated this by stating that renters are currently paying more than other residents in town based on the amount of taxes within their monthly rent. He further stated that this problem should be addressed as a Village -wide problem. He said it would be important for the staff to review the possibility of shifting resources prior to establishing a Special Service Area. Trustee Hoefert asked Trustee Clowes if he was opposed to the Special Service Area. Trustee Clowes stated he was not opposed to it, however, when the Village Board talked about Flood Control as a Special Service Area, this option was not put forth. Trustee Hoefert stated that many areas within the Village do have curbs and gutters and Special Service Areas for curbs and gutters are not that unusual. However, in this case where an area is getting additional services, the assumption is that they should pay more for the additional services. There is a possibility that the increased cost will be passed directly on to the renters, however, it is difficult to determine whether that is actually the case. He agreed with the project because of the additional services. He suggested that the staff research the possibility of creating an Ordinance and requiring owners of apartment buildings to provide private security for their buildings. Trustee Clowes felt the cost could be absorbed by increased efficiencies or passed on in taxes to the overall Village, Trustee Skowron suggested since there was no requirement to levy the tax for the Special Service Area, the staff could identify the basic services and recommend the level of the Levy annually beyond the basic level of services. She also stated that this area is demanding more services, this group is taking more than its fair share of services. It is important to look at long-term solutions for this problem. She did not think the residents would like resources being shifted to other areas and reducing resources and services from their area. Apartments are businesses which are asking for more services. She supports the concept. Trustee Corcoran stated he supported the concept. issue and the flooding issue is flooding typically c numerous property owners involved and it would be r Special Service Area for specific location for flood cc identify the Sales Tax revenue to go directly to flood has established the precedent of determining a fundi the services.

He thinks the problem gives keeping them in a nt decision of property ilance of resources and the right direction in a Trustee Wilks stated she used to live in the area and it was a nice place. It is important that residents want to keel) the quality of living and it is the Board's responsibility to maintain that. Trustee Corcoran stated this is a first in a series of discussions and this was a very good discussion concerning this issue. The Public Hearing on the Special Services Area is scheduled for October 5. All interested parties are invited and property owners are invited also to voice their concerns about the Special Service Area 7. VII. OTHER BUSINESS Trustee Wilks stated that a resident called her concerning the Millers Station project. Workers had been working after hours. There was some concern about getting Village employees to respond due to the weekend hours. However, a Police Officer did come out to talk to the resident. She just wanted to make sure there was some follow-up to the residents concerning this problem. This meeting adjourned at 11:03 p.m. DSIrcc Respectfully submitted, DAVID STRAHL Assistant to the Village Manager - 12 VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT FINANCE DEPARTMENT INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Michael E. Janonis, Village Manager FROM: David C. Jepson, Finance Director DATE: November 5, 1993 SUBJECT: Proposed Vehicle License Increase Attached is a memo from Carol Widmer which shows a history of the number and amount of vehicle licenses sold and an estimate of the revenue for 94/95 if licenses are increased approximately 50%. Under the proposed change, passenger vehicles would increase from $20 to $30, the senior citizen rate would go from $5.00 to &7.50, and pick-up trucks would increase from $30 to $45. Increases in other truck categories would be raised accordingly. The increase would generate about $310,000 in the 94/95 fiscal year. The last time vehicle license fees were increased was May 1, 1987, when they were increased from $15 to $20. During the discussions of Mount Prospect 2000, we had suggested that fees be raised in the 94/95 fiscal year to provide additional funds for street resurfacing and reconstruction. During the four year period of 88/89 - 91/92, the village supplemented available MFT funds with an -average of $463,700 per year from the General Fund. For 92/93 and 93/94, $100,000 per year has been provided from the Capital Improvement Fund for street projects. However, it is not anticipated that any funds other than MFT monies will be available for 94/95 and subsequent years. The additional revenues received from the increase in the vehicle license fee would be used primarily for street projects. Vehicle license renewal forms are usually mailed out by February 1 to enable residents ample time to purchase their licenses by the due date. As a result, it is necessary for us to order supplies by the 1st week in December. VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT FINANCE DEPARTMENT INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: November 4, 1993 TO: David C. Jepson, Finance Director FROM: Carol L. Widmer, Assistant Finance Director SUBJECT: Vehicle License Fees As a part of the budget Presentation last fall, projections were made of revenue and expenditures over the next five years. Included in the revenue projections for the 1994/95 fiscal year was an increase in vehicle license fees. The last time the fees were increased was in 1986 and the increase was reflected in the 1987/88 fiscal year. I have attached a summary of vehicle license fees for the 1984 through 1992 license years and an estimate for this year. The report compares the number of licenses sold and the revenue received by category. Following is a summary of the annual totals for the last nine years and an estimate of a full year for 1993. Total Total Year Licenses Sold Revenue 1984 32,740 $453,181 1985 37,128 576,930 1986 37,756 563,467 1987 37,300 733,610 1988 37,077 732,632 1989 36,598 711,233 1990 37,546 734,066 1991 38,523 752,868 1992 38,766 760,771 1993 (Estimated) 38,250 753,000 David C. Jepson Page 2 Vehicle License Fees If fees were increased and total sales were at the level of 38,450 for 1994, it is estimated that revenue would be approximately $1,063,625 or about $310,000 higher than in 1993. Below is an estimate of sales for 1994/95. 'Based on an increase from $20 to $30 for passenger stickers, pick-up truck stickers increasing from $30 to $45 and other proportionate increases, estimated sales and revenues for 1994/95 fiscal year would be as follows: Our practice has been to mail vehicle sticker renewal notices by February 1 of each year.

Jepson, Finance Director DATE: November 4, 1993 SUBJECT: Truth in Taxation/1993 Tax Levy Ordinance The "Truth in Taxation Act" provides that any unit of local government that intends to levy property taxes in an aggregate amount that exceeds 105 % of the amount extended in the preceding year (exclusive of any amounts levied for election costs or debt service) must disclose that fact by publication and by holding a public hearing. The Act is specific as to the method and timing of the publication and spells out the size and contents of the notice. In addition to disclosure by publication and the public hearing, the Act states that the corporate authorities shall determine (by resolution) the amounts that are necessary to be raised by taxation not less than 20 days prior to the adoption of the tax levy ordinance. The Act was originally enacted in 1981, but was amended in 1983 to include the following paragraph: "Any notice which includes information substantially in excess of that specified and required by this Act shall be an invalid notice." This provision prevents the Village from detailing the various purposes of the levy, such as garbage collection, employee pensions, Library, etc. Additionally, it prohibits any explanation of an increase or decrease in the proposed levy. The Act also requires that a notice of the public hearing be published no more than 14 days nor less than 7 days prior to the date of the public hearing. Due to the timing of the regular Village Board meetings in November and December, it will be necessary to adopt the resolution determining the amount of the proposed 1993 tax levy at the November 16, 1993 Village Board meeting. This is necessary to comply with the requirement that the proposed amount of the tax levy be determined not less than 20 days prior to the adoption of the tax levy ordinance. The following schedule would then be followed to comply with the other requirements of the Act: 1. November 16, 1993 - adopt resolution establishing the amounts of money needed to be raised by taxation for the fiscal year, May 1, 1993 - April 30, 1994. 2. November 16, 1993 - establish a public hearing on the 1993 tax levy ordinance for December 21, 1993. 3. December 7, 1993 - first reading of the 1993 tax levy ordinance. 4. December 10, 1993 - publish notices of tax levy requirements and the date and time of the public hearing. Michael E. Janonis Page 2 Truth in Taxation/1993 Tax Levy Ordinance 5. December 21, 1993 - public hearing and second reading of the 1993 tax levy ordinance. December 22, 1993 - file tax levy ordinance with County Clerk. It should be mentioned that the actual tax levy ordinance can be more or less than the amount in the initial resolution and publication. However, if the tax levy ordinance is more than the amount included in the resolution and publication, an additional publication is required after the. adoption of the tax levy ordinance. We have previously reported that the Village will experience a deficiency of $1.2 million in 93/94 (excluding the one-time $650,000 transfer from the Water Fund) and is facing of deficit $1.3 million in 94/95. When the 93/94 budget was adopted, it anticipated a 5% increase in the 1993 tax levy for all Village purposes. However, this entire increase has been allocated to refuse disposal and pensions and no portion of the increase will go for general operating purposes. Under these circumstances, I think it would be prudent to consider a higher 1993 tax levy than had been previously anticipated. • The actual tax rate for 1992 was 84.4C per $100 EAV, down from 92.70 in 1991. From 1988 to 1992 the Village tax rate has decreased from $1.08 to 84.4c,, for a decrease off 22%. Additionally, the Village's share of the total tax levy has declined from 12.3% in 1983 to 9.6% in 1992, again for a decrease of 22%. The Village's total EAV for 1992 was $913,693,108 and it is expected to rise to $922,830,000 for 1993. This means that each 1C increase in the property tax rate would provide an additional $92,283 for Village services. Based on the tax levy anticipated in the 93/94 budget and an EAV of $922,830,000, the estimated tax rate for the 1993 tax levy as proposed in the 93/94 budget is 87.7C. Even a modest increase in this amount would help to meet the revenue shortfall expected in the 94/95 budget.
