MINUTES
CLOSED SESSION
JULY 18, 2000
The Closed Session was called to order at 9:57 p.m., in the conference room of the Senior
Center. A roll call was taken. Present were: Trustees Paul Hoefert, Richard Lohrstorfer,
Michaele Skowron and Irvana Wilks. Mayor Farley did not attend the Closed Session for health
reasons. Absent from the Closed Session were Trustees Timothy Corcoran and Dennis
Prikkel. Trustee Hoefert served as Chair during the Closed Session. Staff present included
Village Manager Michael Janonis. The purpose of the Closed Session was to discuss Union
negotiations.
Union Negotiations
Village Manager Michael Janonis reviewed with those Board members present the status of
negotiations with the Patrol Officers Union. Mr. Janonis indicated that the final three open
issues were wages, health insurance modifications and work schedule changes. Mr. Janonis
reviewed the last offers and counter-offers from both the Village and the Union. Mr. Janonis
indicated that a wage settlement of 3.5% in the current year and 4% in each of years three and
four would likely result in an agreement that would include significant changes in the Village's
drug prescription card.
Mr. Janonis indicated that wage settlements generally were in the three and one-half to four
percent range and that this type of wage increase would not be out of character with
comparable communities. Trustees asked for clarification regarding changes in the medical
insurance benefits and were satisfied that same were beneficial in the Village's efforts to contain
health insurance costs.
It was the consensus of those Board members present that a settlement as described by
Mr. Janonis would be in the best interest of the Village.
There being no further business, on a Motion by Trustee Wilks and Seconded by Trustee
Skowron, the Closed Session was adjourned by unanimous vote at 10:25 p.m.
