IV. 2002 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE DISCUSSION TOPICS
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.
Generally speaking, Committee of the Whole meetings consist of anywhere from two-four
set items, which have been researched by staff and are presented for discussion and
preliminary decision-making purposes. Included in the regular Committee of the Whole
Agendas are such things as discussion of the Capital Improvement Program, Mid-Year
Budget Review and the annual Budget Hearings. Another segment of discussion items are
staff generated and have to deal with policy, projects or fiscal issues which require Board
direction. Finally, over the course of the year, individual Trustees put forward issues and
items for discussion. Again, this year st~ffwou!d like to discuss and receive direction on a
list of potential items for Committee of the Whole Agendas. It should be recognized from the
outset that this is not an all-inclusive list and that items, both staff and Board generated, will
come up during the course of the year. However, for purposes of managing staff time and
putting limited resources to work in the most efficient manner, we would like to review~
discuss and prioritize potential Committee of the Whole Agenda items.
NOTE: ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND THIS MEETING BUT BECAUSE OF A
DISABILITY NEEDS SOME ACCOMMODA TION TO PARTICIPATE, SHOULD CONTACT THE VILLAGE
MANAGER'S OFFICE A T 100 SOUTH EMERSON, MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS 60056, 647/392-6000,
EXTENSION 5327, TDD #847/392-6064.
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 subjects, that
have the support of the Board for research and review. Appropriate staff will be available to
answer questions and facilitate discussion.

VILLAGE BOARD/MOUNT PROSPECT LIBRARY BOARD
WORKSHOP
DECEMBER 11, 2001
The meeting was convened at 7:03 p.m. by Mayor Farley.
Present:
Trustee Timothy Corcoran
Trustee Paul Hoefert
Trustee Michaele Skowron
Trustee Irvana Wilks
Trustee Michael Zadel
Staff Present:
Village Manager Michael E, Janonis
Assistant Village Manager Dave Strahl
Director of Community Development William Cooney
Senior Planner Judy Connolly
DLK Architect Kevin Kemp
Library Executive Director Marilyn Genther
Library Architect Jack Polling
Library staff members
The discussion focused on whether the proposed parking deck should be placed along
Route 83 from the corner of Busse and 83, northward to incorporate a portion of the
Library property. Option 2 would be to have the parking deck occupy part of the Library
property but be placed in between the proposed new Village Hall and the Library.
There was extensive discussion about the two options including a straw poll of
preferences by various Board members of the Village and the Library. The preference
of the majority of Village Board members and Library Trustees was placing the parking
deck in between the two buildings assuming proper access can be obtained for the
Library. Both Boards directed the two architects to work together to create a design
which will complement both structures and include an Emerson Street entrance to the
parking garage.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:52 p.m.

JANUARY 8, 2002
CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m. by Mayor Gerald Farley. Present at
the meeting were: Trustees Paul Hoefert, Richard Lohrstorfer, Michaele
Skowron, Irvana Wilks and Michael Zadel. Trustee Corcoran arrived at 7:49 p.m.
Staff members present included Village Manager Michael Janonis, Assistant
Village Manager David Strahl and Public Information Officer Maura Jandris.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Approval of minutes from November 27, 2001. Motion was made by Trustee
Wilks and Seconded by Trustee Zadel. Minutes were approved.
CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
Bart and Laura Bartell, 801 South Emerson, spoke. They stated that they
have been experiencing adverse traffic effects due to their location at the corner
of South Emerson and Lonnquist. They are appearing before the Board
requesting relief and nothing the Village has done has improved the situation.
They also raised the fact that South Emerson is considered a collector street
while North Emerson is not. They also feel there is constant, non-stop, cut-
through traffic along their street. They also quoted from the Comprehensive
Plan.
Mayor Farley responded and stated that he disputes many of the comments that
the Bartells have made regarding the traffic situation on Emerson and feels that
their comments referring to the situation being out of control are in error.
Trustee Hoefert stated the Village has done numerous traffic studies and there
has been substantial enforcement efforts made along the street at their request.
Village Manager Janonis stated that there have been several traffic studies and
the Village effort to address the needs of the Bartells have been substantial.
Trustee Zadel stated that he has seen additional traffic due to the construction
along 83 since he lives on Lonnquist which is a collector street which connects to
Emerson, but the volumes assumed by the Bartells have not occurred.
IV. RESIDENTIAL SURVEY DISCUSSION
Village Manager Janonis stated that this discussion was initiated in 2001
whereby the staff was directed by the Village Board to initiate the process to draft
the necessary RFPs for consideration. He also stated that money had been
added to the 2002 Budget for the cost of starting the process including bringing
consultants on board.
Public Information Officer Maura Jandris stated that she has evaluated the
responses and would recommend MCIC to formulate the survey plan for the
Village Board to follow in subsequent years. She stated that the plan would be
created within the Budget parameters established by the Village and depending
on budget conditions in future years, survey activity would be conducted within
those parameters.
Village Manager Janonis stated the Village has done some periodic
Department surveys in the past but in order to maximize the value of the data,
there is a need to create overall trends. He wanted to remind the Board that if
this is approved, funding would be necessary in future years to continue the
project.
General comments from Village Board members included the following items:
Several Trustees voiced support for the program. There were several questions
regarding the approximate timing of different types of surveys and the results
which could be garnered from the various surveys. There was a comment
regarding the need to ensure there is value from the information obtained. There
was also a comment regarding the fact that the Village expended a great deal of
time and effort to communicate with the citizens and this program is yet an
another opportunity to communicate and gather information from residents.
Other comments included the desire to determine what service decisions should
be considered by the Board based on trends.
John Korn, 301 North William, spoke. He stated he feels the project has merit
and feels that the option to convene focus groups will be valuable in gathering
information.
John Ozog, 515 South Wille, spoke. He raised the question regarding the
focus of the firm that conducts the surveys.
Consensus of the Village Board was to move forward with the project and
consider a contract for services at the next available Board meeting.

Board was amenable to instituting the summer Committee of the Whole schedule

Consensus of the Village Board was to continue the summer Committee of
the Whole schedule.

I~I. REVIEW OF THE PROPOSED 2002 VILLAGE BUDGET
Pub~cWorl~
Director of Public Works Glen Andler began his presentation by highlighting several accomplishments
from the year 2001. Mr. Andler stated that this year was the fifth and final year in the reconstruction of
village streets. Mr. Andler also noted that the installation of the new streetlights along Route 83 and
Central Roads would be completed by the end of the year. The final item discussed by Mr. Andler was
the completion of the streetscape and train station improvements.
Mr. Andler presented Public Work's 2002 Proposed Budget totaling $19,151,202, which represents an
increase of 2.9% over last year's budget.
Deputy Director of Public Works Sean Dorsey presented a brief overview of each category under the
2002 Proposed Budget for Public Works and highlighted several significant accounts.
Streets/Buildings/Parking
· Part time earnings decreased nearly $14,000 with the elimination of one part time maintenance
employee. Most of the decrease will be offset by an increase in the contractual services account.
Parking Lot Improvement account (C1]?) increased from $100,000 to $210,000. The increase of
$110,000 reflects estimated costs of resurfacing the Maple Street commuter parking lot and
installing a new fee collection system.
Forestry/Grounds
Streetscape/Corridor Maintenance account increased 100% from $10,000 to $20,000. The
additional funds are needed to maintain the increasing number of streetscape areas.
Engineering
· Electric - Streetlight account decreased from $165,000 to $120,000. Some of the costs will be
· transferred to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund. Mr. Andler stated that electricity for streetlights
instailed pursuant to EDOT requirements can be funded by the Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
· Right of Way Restoration Fund shows a decrease fi.om $21,800 to $16,560. With this account
revenues from the utility companies will offset the expenses incurred by the village. The
decrease in the account is due to the fact that the utilities companies are becoming more
compliant.
Water/Sewer
Booster Pump/Panel Fund (CIP) shows an increase fi.om $160,000 to $450,000. The increase in
funds is needed to replace the central computer system located at the Public Works Facility. The

longer available.

needed for the inspection and evaluation of the village's combined sewer system.

Repair/Inspection funds both Show a decrease of 100%. Mr. Andler stated that the village is on a 10-
year cycle for repairing tanks and there are no repairs scheduled in 2002.
Commissioner George Busse asked when the village would know if there was a problem with the
Combined Sewer System. Mr. Andler stated that in 2002 the village will hire the consultants and the
study should end by fall 2002.
Vehicle Maintenance

to fund professional services needed to maintain village vehicles and equipment. The increase to
this account will be fully offset by a decrease in the Vehicle Maintenance Supplies account.
Capital Improvements
$75,000 requested for Storm Sewer Inventory and Mapping. Funds are needed to continue the
program which was started in 2001. Federal law requires this in order for the village to be
compliant with the Clean Water Act.

discussion by several members that with other sources providing this service the village may be able to
use the money set aside for this fund for other worthwhile causes.

previously stated the Commission would like to see the Historical Society make a presentation to the

DATE:

SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPOSED BUDGET ~ FISCAL YEAR 2002
Given the current weak economic environment and the resulting uncertainty of future revenue projections, the fiscally
conservative budget proposed by Village staff for fiscal year 2002 appears justified and prudent to this commission. Having
satisfied essential staffing requirements, strengthened replacement and capital improvement funds and built general reserves
during the recent years of economic strength, the Village appears to be in a good position to weather difficult times without
having to make major program cuts.
However, while major program cuts will, hopefully, remain unnecessary, substantive program additions for all but the most
assential reasuns will, for the foreseeable future, need to be avoided. The Fire Department's recommendation to move a new
Engine to the downtown fire station and to add three firefighters to man it is a worthy program that should receive
consideration when financial conditions improve.
For fiscal year 2003 the commission has concerns about the $640,000 deficit projected by Village staff. This commission
will use the first half of 2002 to examine the entire budget with an eye towards identifying revenues and essential and
nonessential expenditures. Areas of interest include inspections and permits, compensated leave policies and
community/civic services.
Two specific recommendations for the development of the fiscal year 2003 budget are:
That all departments and/or organizations that receive general funds should present their budget before the
finance commission.
That the staff ensures that the fees paid by non-village organizations for cable television access be based on
fully allocated costs.
