ANY OTHER BUSINESS Trustee Miller requested time to present the following TRUSTEE MILLER: letter addressed to Mayor Krause: RESIGNATION "It is with regret that I resign as a Trustee of the Village of Mount Prospect. My resignation is brought about by the fact that I have recently received a new assignment by my employer. I will be moving to Denver in the near future to become the regional director for the American Hospital Association's Rocky Mountain Region. I hasten to add that while we will be relocating, we do not intend to sell our home as both Helen and I will spend considerable time in Mount Prospec~ even though my operating base will be Denver. Over the twenty years we have lived here we have established deep roots in this community and a respect for its citizens which is not easily left behind. t'66 I cannot leave without saying that I have deeply appreciated the opportunity to work with you, the other members of the Board, and the Village staff in focusing on the present and future concerns of Mount Prospect. While we have not always agreed on the issues, I want each of you to know that these disagreements were based on the issues and not on personality. As I leave the Board, I look back with some pride over the major accomplishments we have brought about ~-~ together during the past three and one-half years ~ and also a certain sense of frustration that in some instances we have not been able to accomplish more. I wish all of you well as you continue to tackle the tough problems that lie ahead. I shall miss you. Sincerely, Edward J. Miller 131 S. Kenilworth " Mayor Krause stated that it was with regret that she would.accept Trustee Miller's resignation. All members of the Board, along with Mr. Burghard on behalf of staff, wished Mr. & Mrs. Miller the best on their new assignment in Denver. ADJOURN ADJOURNMENT Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Wattenberg, moved to adjourn the meeting. Upon roll call: Ayes: Unanimous Motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 P.M. Carol A. Fields Village Clerk November 16, 1982 Page Eight V llage of Mount ProSpect Mount Prospect, Illinois INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: MAyoR CAROLYN H. KRAUSE AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: VILLAGE MANAGER DATE: NOVEMBER 16, 1982 SUBJECT: SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT #5 After the Committee of the Whole meeting of Tuesday, November 9, my office received direction to review the Special Service District proposal in conjunction with the acquisition of Lake Michigan water. The ¥illage Board indicated its willingness to assess potential alternatives in an attempt to move ahead within the time constraints previously outlined for the creation of a Special Service District. Subsequent to that meeting, the staff and I worked diligently on finding alternative financing methods that would meet the policy requirements of the Mayor and Board of Trustees, retain the financial integrity of the water utility system consistent with the policy drafts of the Water Agency Agreement and meet an approximate test of fairness and equity for the business community and the single family homeowners. Within those guidelines, I offer the following proposal. 1. We recommend that the Village issue in December of 1982 Special Service District Bonds amounting to $1.9 million. These Bonds would be payable from further Special Service District Tax Levies over a ten-year period2 We also recommend changes in the Special Service District Tax Levies and water rates as follows: RECOMMENDED RATES AND LEVIES ORIGINAL REVISED ORIGINAL REVISED LEVY AMOUNTS PROPOSAL WATER RATE RATE 1983 44¢ 9¢ $ 2 10 $ 1.53 1984 44¢ 25¢ 2 10 2.32 1985 52¢ 29¢ 2 10 2.32 1986 48¢ 34C 9 * 2.32 1987 43¢ 39¢ ~ 3.04 1988 43¢ 44¢ ~ 3.04 1989 43¢ 49~ ~ 3.04 1990 43¢ 53¢ ~ ~ 3.04 *Rates for these years were never specifically defined. These rates and Levies are sufficient, in our opinion, to meet the needs of our internal water system as well as the obligations of the Joint Action Water Agency. The entire cost of the Bond Issue will be amortized solely by the receipts of the Special Service District Tax Levy. 2. We would propose the Village agree in policy that the Special Service District shall not exceed 53¢ per $t00 Equalized Assessed Valuation between now and the year 1990. This recommendation assumes that the tax multiplier system as we know it today remains in form and substance throughout these years. 3. The Village Manager recommends that this memo be accepted by motion and attached to the miButes of the meeting as a record of the Village's intention. TLB/rcw
