FLOOD C'ONTROL PROGRAM The Village Manager gave a status report stating there were678 replies from the questionnaire sent out to the residents of the Village, and of those 226 persons in- vited Village personnel to inspect their premises and give advice on flooding problems. Raymond G. Heideman, ll06 Barberry asked if it were not true that a utility tax was not-deductible from State or Federal income tax and was advised that it was. The Village Engineer obtained proposals from seven engineering firms and recommended the Board enter into an agreement with Ralph Gross~and Associates to prepare the plans and specifications for the Flood Control Improvements. This agreement is to cover only Phase "A" of the Clean Streams Commission report. 9/11/73 The engineering fees would be based on a percentage of the contract prices. The Drainage and Clean Streams Commission report recommends that some additional studies must be made before plans can be completed for some of the items in Phase "A". This part of ~he agree- mens will be paid for on an hourly rate with a set maximum. Mr. Hemmeter stated that Ralph Gross and Associates could prepare the plans and specifications to cover Phase "A" ~the Drainage and Clean Streams report.

Mr. Edward Rhea, 1829 Palm Drive, advised the Board members t.o seek gui.dance from consulting firms or banks on the question Of fundin§. Mr. Rhea read a statement as President of the Mount Shi.re Home Owners Assn. voicing opposition to the use of a utility tax to aid the flood, program. Then, as a private citizen, he stated he was opposed to funding with current revenues, and considered it bad fiscal management, and urged the Board to vote in favor of long-term financing for the flood control program. Mr. Ray Heideman stated the utility tax is discriminatory, business may move out because of its effect on business, questioned the amount charged by the utiqity to collect the tax, and reiterated the fact there would be no federal om~t ~e tax ~eduction on the amount paid. Mr. Michael Minton, 1207 W.
