The Clerk was directed to place the following statement read by Trustee Soderman in the minutes. "The Finance Committee has worked very hard in an attempt to put together a workable budget prior to the seating of a new Board. BudKet We present ~his budget with a desire to assist the new Board. We are aware of the monumental orientation problem that faces the new Trustees and it is hopeful theat the proposed budget ~ill reflect ~ the collective attitudes of the present Trustees, both as to com- munity needs and priorities. Obviously, the budget can only be a guideline since it is the appropriation ordinance that, in fact, deternfunes the ultimate finaucial operation ofoour Village. We be- lieve these guide lines established by the outgoing Board will prove beneficial to the new Board ... we fully expect the new Board will alter and amend the budget as they address themselves to the municipal problems of our community. There are many ways to analyze a mtmicipal budget and, dependiog on the approach taken, different conclusions can be reached. I will take this simple route ofmerely explaining the .~..ucreased exp~aditures of $824,B18.00 and where this added revenue came from. Based on last year's budget of $3,191,383.00, the increase of $824,318.00 represents a total expenditure increase of 26%. The added expense can be al~%ocated roughly in the following manner: Salary Increases $270,000.00 New [Mloloyees 170,000.00 Equipment, etc. 100,000.00 Garbage Fee 28,000.00 Land Acquisition (Parking Lot) 60,000.00 Water Main, Wells, etc. 196;000.00 $U24,000.00 APRIL 27, 1971 The salary increases for present employees work out roughly to an 85 increase~ This is quite in line with the surroumding area which shows that the average increases for various conm~n- ities range from 7% to 10%. All of the increases shown in this budget are the result of many hours of negotiations and would appear to be equitable conclustions. The $170,000.00 allocated to new employees contemplates 5 additional policemen and 6 additional firemen (to be added December l, 1971), an additional inspector for the Building Department, 2 engineer-inspectors and an additional draftsman for the Engineering Department, an additicaal secretary for the Finance Department, an additional secretary for the Fire -- Department, and 8 additional employees in the Public Works Department. An added $100,000.00 in the general fund for equipment, building repairs, etc., which are detailed in the budget for the Board's esamination. The $28,000.00 increase in garbage collection reflects increased labor costs under the existing contract as well as additional residences in the Village. The $60,000.00 for land acquisition contemplates additional commuter parking. The increase of $196,000.00 in the waterworks and sewerage fund contemplates necessary rehabilitation and extension of our existing system merely to stay in good operating condition. Expansion of our water system, as suggested in the recent report submitted by our Village ~hgine..er, is not a part of the present budget. The sources for the increase in revenue can roughly be allocated in the following manner: Increased real estate tax levy $400,000.00 Increased Sales Tax, Licenses, Fines, etc. 275,000.00 Unused bond money 150~300.00 $525,000.00 Because the Finance Committee was not in full attendance at our final deliberations, no formal recommendation is made but the budget is p~esented as the work produce of the Committee for the Board's approval." In discussion, Mr. William Radtke, of the Radtke Insurance Agency, explained some of the problems causing the increase in insurance rates, The Finance Committee was charged with "Insurance Safety Program". Trustee Sodermau, seconded, by Trustee Furst, moved to approve Approval of the budget as submitted. budget Upon roll call: Ayes: Ahem Furst Kilroy Norris Reiter Soderman Motion carried. Trustee Kilroy, seconded by Trustee Soderman, moved to waive S.A. #67 the rules to consider an Agreed Order concerning Special Assessment #67.

APRIL 27, 1971 pecial Assessment #67 was to pay the cost of paving and otherwise i~proving West Lonnquist Boulevard at Route 83, property known as Dorothy Kester property. M~.
