I. CALL TO ORDER - ROLL CALL
Mayor Irvana K. Wilks
Trustee Paul Hoefert Trustee John Matuszak
Trustee Arlene Juracek Trustee Steven Polit
Trustee John Korn Trustee Michael Zadel
II. STATE OF THE ECONOMY
Mr. Tom Snyder is a resident who possesses a PhD. in Urban Planning with
emphasis in Public Finance. In discussions with Mayor Wilks about a possible
Board and Commission appointment it was suggested that Mr. Snyder speak to the
Village Board about his thoughts on economic and other urban issues facing the
State and Mount Prospect. The information Mr. Snyder provides and discussion
generated can serve as a precursor to the Board's annual Strategic Planning
exercise.
Attached is Mr. Snyder's resume and curriculum vita.
III. GOVERNANCE AND DECISION - MAKING MODEL
At last year's Strategic Goal Setting Workshop there was a brief discussion about
"adopting" a formalized decision - making model that could become the basis for how
the Village Board goes about setting its priorities, considering citizen requests for
service enhancements, new regulations or policy changes. While brief, that
discussion was met with positive feedback. Given the growing call for "less
government" and our on -going fiscal constraints, consideration for adopting a
decision - making model seems more prudent than ever.
Staff proposes to engage in a general discussion on this subject, again, as a
precursor to more formalized strategic planning. Literature on the subject is
somewhat spotty. Nonetheless, it seems a worthwhile subject to tackle. No back up
material.
IV. FUTURE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE DISCUSSION ITEMS
Over the past several years, the Village Manager's Office has attempted to better
manage the flow of information, which comes to the Village Board through the
Committee of the Whole agendas. As you know, Committee of the Whole meetings
are designed specifically to allow for more extensive discussion of pending policy,
finances, code changes and various items of community interest. The Committee of
the Whole also serves as a forum for discussion of items, which are unexpected,
controversial, or of an emergency nature.
The evening's discussion will consist of reviewing suggested topics, discussing
briefly the rationale and need for discussion and the potential timing for bringing
such items forward.
Board members, as well as staff, were asked to provide any suggested topics that
they would like to have considered. These items are included in the accompanying
package. In the past, the Village Board has engaged in a polling process, which
identifies any subjects, which do have the support of the Board for research and
review
