COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS - CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
FLOOD: Village Manager, John Fulton Dixon, gave an update on
UPDATE the effects of the flood which took place over the
weekend. Mr. Dixon noted that additional garbage
trucks, including many Village vehicles, were out
picking up items that had been ruined by the flood.
The Manager assured everyone that this flood,
resulting from approximately 10 inches of rain within
a 12 hour period, has caused at least 6,000 dwelling
units to have water and the resulting damage. There
have been over 250 trips to the dump site, which is a
two hour drive round-trip.
It was also noted that due to this emergency, the
Village itself has incurred approximately $250,000 in
costs due to additional man-hours, damage to Village
property and equipment.
Trustee Van Geem suggested the Village Board make
funds available to flood victims at an interest rate
of possibly 7% or 8% and with the funds available on
a timely basis. Trustee Van Geem also suggested that
the funds could possibly be obtained by adding a
total to the bond issue that will be discussed later
in this meeting.
It was noted that preliminary discussions with the
Mount Prospect State Bank and the First National Bank
of Mount Prospect have indicated their cooperation
and assistance in this project.
FLOOD: The Mayor, members of the Village Board and the
APPRECIATION Village Manager expressed their sincere appreciation
TO STAFF and congratulations to the Public Works Department
and other departments involved with the variety of
areas of assistance afforded the residents and
businessmen in the Village during this emergency
flooding situation.
MAYOR'S REPORT
FOOD & Mayor Krause presented a proposal for a food a
BEVERAGE TAX beverage tax of 2%. It was noted that the Village
will be experiencing a financial short fall of
AMEND CH.11 between $800,000 and $1,000,000 at the end of the
current budget year, therefore alternate revenues
sources must be considered in order to maintain the
revenue necessary to continue offering the current
level of services.
It was noted that the sales tax revenue usually
increases each year by approximately 7% however, year
to date figures indicate the sales tax revenue is
actually lower than last year.
Mayor Krause explained that alternate revenue sources
are the only other method of acquiring revenue
without increasing the tax levy, which is collected
through the real estate taxes. While an increase in
real estate taxes to make up the shortfall would be a --
minimal dollar amount for single family residences,
the same rate would actually place a burden on the
properties classified as commercial.
The Mayor stated that the 2% food and beverage tax
she is proposing would distributed 1% to the General
Fund and the other 1% for road improvements. The
road improvements are behind scheduled, due to the
reduced amount of Motor Fuel Tax Funds, resulting
from lower gasoline sales due in part to smaller
more energy efficient vehicles.
It was also noted that the~c>~cVillage Board must decide
this issue by September 9th, since the tax levy must be
filed with the County Clerk by that date in order to
place it on the tax bills.
Trustee Wattenberg stated that he opposed taxing
specific categories of business in the Village and
creating a "service" tax. ~ was his suggestion that
any increase be reflected in the tax levy ordinance and
collected through the real estate tax bills.
Trustee Murauskis opposed the proposed tax and stated
that she too supported increasing the tax levy, which
is deductable.
Trustee Arthur stated that he was opposed to raising
the tax levy, noting that increased taxes would
discourage new businesses from locating in Mount
Prospect.
Trustee Farley stated that he supports a food and
beverage tax.
Trustee Floros stated that he felt the user tax or an
increase on the real estate tax bill is an equal
disadvantage, but would favor a 1% food and beverage
tax, instead of the proposed 2%.
The following residents and/or Businessmen spoke in
opposition to the creation of taxes against certain
businesses:
Mark Busse, President of the Chamber of Commerce
Liz Luxum, resident and restaurant owner
Ed Miller, 131S. Kenilworth
Adelaide Thulin, 4 S. Owen
Dennis Miller, Mrs. P & Me Restaurant
Brian Mikes, Prospect Catering
Mr. Peters Banquet Hall
Brian Wells, Sizzlers Steak House
Discussion took place relative to this subject.
Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Floros, moved
to direct the administration to draft an Ordinance
providing for a 1% Food and Beverage Tax for
consideration at the September 1st meeting of the
Village Board.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Krause
Nays: Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg

opposition to this real estate transfer tax, who also

levy rather than service taxes.
