Personnel
Village Manager Michael Janonis reviewed with Board members a tentative agreement
reached with the Public Works Bargaining Unit. Mr. Janonis indicated that the
negotiations were protracted and at times difficult. It was noted that a majority of the
negotiating sessions were presided over by a Mediator.
l Mr. Janonis indicated that the three-year package included an average Y'age increase of
l tV } 3.4% per year, when netted against substantial additional contributions toward health
. ~ry insurance. These changes in the health insurance contributions included increased
'\~)' premium contributions and a greater co-pay for the prescription card. There were also
Q W other minor changes to contractual language and work day scheduling which should have
'\( no monetary impact on the Village.
Village Board members discussed in general the various terms of the tentative agreement.
Trustee Skowron asked if it were possible to produce for all employees a Salary and
Benefits Profile which would indicate the total value of compensation received by each
employee. Trustee Clowes asked for a projection of future wage costs based on projected
versus actual wage increases.
After general discussion among Board members, there was a consensus that the tentative
agreement was acceptable. Staff was directed to finalize contract language and bring the
agreement forward for official action by the Village Board at an upcoming Board meeting.

, Village Manager Janonis informed the Village Board of an incident which took place
starting July 21 and ending July 23 with the death of a jail detainee while in the custody
of the Cook County Sheriff's Department. The significance of the incident was that the
initial arrest of this person was made by the Mount Prospect Police Department on July 21
for, among other things, shoplifting. The arrestee was a diabetic who was on July 22
transferred to the custody of the Cook County She~iff's Department where he died some
13 hours after leaving Mount Prospect's custody.
Mr. Janonis indicated that the Police Chief and his senior management staff were
conducting an internal investigation into whether Department policies and procedures were
followed in this case. Mr. Janonis indicated that all employees who were in the chain of
custody of this detainee were being interviewed but at this time there appeared to be no
beach of Department protocol and, therefore, no discipline appeared to be warranted.
Mr. Janonis indicated that he would keep the Board apprised of any further developments
in this matter.
There being no other business discussed, there was a Motion by Trustee Hoefert and
Seconded by Trustee Clowes that the Closed Session adjourn. On a roll call vote of Mayor
Farley; Trustees Clowes, Hendricks, Hoefert, Skowron and Wilks, the Closed Session
adjourned at 9:41 p.m.
No action was taken or further business discussed, the Committee of th~ Whole meeting
adjourned at 9:44 p.m.
