MINUTES OF A BUDGET WORKSHOP MEETING
OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, HELD ON NOVEMBER 5, 2008,
IN THE TRUSTEE'S CONFERENCE ROOM
RICHARD T. FLICKINGER MUNICIPAL CENTER
6101 CAPULINA AVENUE, MORTON GROVE, ILLINOIS 60053
Pursuant to proper notice in accordance with the Open Meetings Act, the Budget Workshop was
called to order at 7:00 pm by Mayor Richard Krier. Clerk Fritzshall called the roll. In
attendance were:
Elected Officials: President Richard Krier, Trustees Georgianne Brunner, Sheldon
Mat•cus, Rita Minx, Dan Staackmann, John Thill, and Clerk Carol
A. Fritzshall
Absent: Trustee Roy Kogstad
Village Staff: _ Police Chief Paul L. Tasch, IT Administrator Boyle Wong,
Community acrd Economic Development Director Sill Neuendorf,
Building Commissioner Ed Hildebrandt, Assistant Finance
Director Ryan Horne, Public Works Director Andy DeMonte,
Chief Tom Friel, Family and Senior Services Director Jackie
Walker O'Keefe, Finance Director Daniela Partipilo, Village
Administrator Joseph F. Wade, Corporation Counsel Teresa
Hoffman Liston
Also Present: Several members of the public
Mayor Krier thanked everyone for attending this meeting. He then introduced Village
Administrator Joseph F: Wade. Mr. Wade thanked Trustee Kogstad for bringing several topics
up for discussion at the last meeting. It is hoped staff will be able to successfully answer those
questions and concerns. He also pointed out staff is diligent when it comes to preparing the
budget and always keeps in mind the taxpayers and the economy. He also noted the Village has
won the GFOA award for excellence in financial reporting for many years. Less than 5% of
governmental units receive this prestigious award. Village Administrator Wade outlined some of
the areas to be discussed this evening:
e How does the Village predict and judge expenditures for the purchase of salt for the
snowplowing season? Mr. DeMonte and the Finance Department will hopefully clarify this
process.
• Trustee Kogstad inquired about inventory controls and the encumbrances of the accounting
in the Village. 11ie Finance Department will advise the Village Board as to these practices.
• While Trustee Kogstad did fnd some mistakes in this budget document, it should be noted
hundreds of revenue acid expenses are entered to create the budget, and when nwnbers are
taken and prepared in an alternate program (excel) to create the budget it is diff cult not to
have an error. Administrator Wade statedprojeoting revenues and expenditures takes
diligence on the part of staff as they review the historical data. On a whole, the budget's
revenues have been within 96% of those projected and expenditures have been within 99%.
The Finance Department will be reviewing the budget document for the Board and hopefully
clarify any misconceptions.
• The application and use of fund balances will also be discussed. Mr. Wade stated at the end
of the meeting the Village Board went over many different funds. Having $1.5 million in the
Water Fund is not a lot considering the Village's impending obligations such as the Dempster
Street Corridor, and the painting of two water towers. Mr. Wade reiterated these are both
expensive endeavors.
• A review of the Water Fund and whether there are adequate funds available will be
reviewed.
• As previously noted, the streets in the Village ai•e in a declining condition. The major
concern is how are these streets going to be updated and maintained. It has been previously
estimated t11e Village needs to besetting aside $1.4 million to maintain and keep up with this
encroaching problem each year.
Village Administrator Wade stated all the Deparinrent Directors are at this meeting Co answer
airy questions the Village Board may have.
Assistant Finance Director Ryan Home and Finance Director Daniela Partipilo were then invited
to discuss the budget document and financial issues. Mr. Wade stated Mr. Horne was hired a
little over a year ago; he has 13 years of overall experience in the accounting field.
Ms. Partipilo admitted There were a few errors contained within the budget document. She stated
it is difficult to transfer data and formulas from the Springbrook program to the Excel
spreadsheets the Board reviews in flee prepared Proposed Budget document. She stated the raw
data that comes from the Springbrook program is correct and therefore matches the audit report.
She believes there were some entry errors when transferring the data to Excel but reiterated the
data is correct in Springbrook.
Assistant Finance Director Ryan Horn then guided the Board tliroiigh the fund balai7ce and
accounting practices used by the Village. He made comparisons to help the Village Board
understand how the budget relates to the various funds. Mr. FIorne stated budgeting is simply
fina~lcial forecasting. There is no way to exactly predict what revenues and expenditures will be
for any given year, however with the help of the Department Directors, educated estimates are
made and as previously stated by Mr. Wade, the Village does come very close to those
guesstimates. The question was raised as to whether the Village should account for the inventory
it has such as salt? 1t is hard to predict what unomlt will be used in a pa~-ticuiar season. The
Village can estimate how much salt will be used for a given snowstorm but it is difficult to
predict how long the season will last at7d whether additional purchases will be required and how
much will remain at the end of that season. He stated accounting is a practice, a guesstinzafe
since there can be a great disparity from 12 months ago when purchases were made. Currently,
at the end of the year, accounting adjustments are made. By April of the following year those
figures are given to the auditors so they can do their comparisons and prepare their report.
Springbrook is a good repository 'for the Village's data; however the documents created appear to
be difficult for the general public to understand. Currently, other softwaa~e packages are available
but the Village believes Springbrook provides the services needed aid uses the resources of the
Village in a reasonable imarmcr. To make a change at this time would be expensive when
training, maintenance and implementation are taken into consideration. Mr. Horn stated he
believed the Vil]age is doing the best with the resources available.
Finance Director Pa~xipilo stated from the time the budget preparations begin until the time the
audit is received is between 18 to 21 months. She stated there have been many changes in the
economy during the time period. and as the 2009 budget document is prepared it is important to
remember there have been many changes. She stated they look at projections and do
comparisons. 'The average budget revenue projections have been within 7% of variance with
expenditures showing 2%. The Village has historically taken a conservative approach when
projecting revenues, which she be]ieves is a good practice. Some budget amendments may be
required once the document is approved if revenues are not great enough to cover the expenses
of a particular fund. The Finance Department prepares a warrant list for every Village Board
meeting to show the Board the Village's expenses on a conthrual basis. The Board also receives
memorandums that update them on projects having problems and subsequent overruns. She
stated overages do happen on occasion; however departments continue to hold the line and watch
expenses. Fund balances are retained in some funds; however it should be noted some of those
funds are not available to the General Fund because of restrictions such as the Motor Fuel Fund;
and the Commuter Parking Fund.
Village Administrator Wade stated the credit market for municipalities is terrible and has been
affected by the world markets. He stated there is fiord balance available but it should also be
noted there are infrastructure needs that must be addressed in the future. It is easy to draw down
the fund balance in the Enterprise Fund: however $1 million dollars needs to be added each year
(which has not been done) to maintain an amount necessary to provide the fmzds for
infrastructure improvements.
Finance Director Partipilo noted the Village had a good capital project year in 2007. Many
streets were improved that were in very poor condition. hi 2008, more money was spent on
capital projects; however in 2009 the drawdown is being used for general operations and not
capital improvements.
Community and Economic Development Director Bill Neuendorf then discussed the Waukegan
Road TIF Fund. He stated that fund is also separate from the General Fetid and is governed by
state statute. It was created in 1995 and will expire iu 2018. Municipal bonds were issued to
bring businesses and changes to that district. Currenfly monies are being paid back to the
Genera] Fund that were loaned to this TIF Fund. It is hoped that debt can be repaid early;
however revenues need to increase before that can happen. Currently Produce World is Iookiug
at moving into the TIF area and building a much larger store, and it is anticipated some monies
received shou]d be able to help repay the outstanding loan. His recommendation is to make the
improvements to Churchill Street so this project ca~~ become a viable entity in the TIF and free
up the Demister/Waukegan northwest conger for an additional revenue generating business. He
stated the Village is continuing to seek out other businesses for this District. Trustee Marcus
expressed concern on whether monies would ever be available to pay back the debt owed to the
General Fund. Mr. Neuendorf felt the monies would be available if the current monies being
generated by the fund are not paid to the General Fund at this time.
Public Works Director Andy DeMonte was introduced and stated there are 31 miles of roadway
that need to be updated in the Village. He has forwarded a memorandum to the Board
concerning the conditions of the various streets. He also stated there should be 5,000 feet of
watermain replaced each year. He reminded the Village Board the Village has an aging system
and it is important to keep up wiffi these repairs.
The Mayor then asked if there were any convnents from the audience. There were none.
Village Administrator Wade stated the Budget Ordinance will be prepared for the November 24,
2008, Village Board meeting. He asked if the Board would like anything added or deleted from
that document. The Village Board had no comments.
The Village Board asked Finance Director Partipilo for copies of the pages that were changed in
the proposed budget document. They expressed concern about the correctness of the copies and
wanted to make sure the Finance Deparhnent had time to make the corrections.
Mayor Krier then asked if there was a problem with passing a 2% levy increase and if possible to
have a consensus of the Village Board this evening. It was determined if it was not passed it
would impact the Village's operating budget by $180,000. If a 1% levy increase is passed the
Village would receive an additional approximately $93,000. If the Village Board chooses to not
increase its levy for this year the shortfall would be $200,000 more than originally budgeted.
Several Village Board members felt it was the responsible thing to do this year to have no levy
increase. Trustee Brunner expressed concern there would not be anything available if the
Village were to experience an extraordinary event. The Village Board generally expressed
concern about having taxes raised considering the recent reassessment. With foreclosures and
vacancies at an all time high, the burden has been shifted to the taxpayers. Trustee Marcus felt
next year would be a tough economic year and his responsibility is to the taxpayers of the
Village. Since there is money to retain services he felt the levy should remain the same. Trustee
Minx expressed her concerns that ifno levy is assessed there could be repercussions in the 20I0-
budget. The drawdown on the fund balance does have rippling effects and there are areas of the
budget that will need to be looked at.
Trustee Staackmann also stated a lot of people are hurting died more businesses are closing: He
does not see how the levy can be raised. It is the right and moral thing to do to keep the levy at
0% increase. The Line needs to be held grid the Village Board needs to find a way riot to increase
taxes at this time.
Trustee Brunner was concerned about the end result. Eating up reserves is not a good thing and
she disagreed with the other board members about not passing a tax levy increase for this year.
Trustee Staackmaml felt as long as the Village was not cutting vital services that a 0% increase
was appropriate. He felt if necessary, other fliings could be cut. Trustee Brunner reminded the
Village Board of the unforeseen incidents that happened last year such as the dramatic increase
in salt prices and the huge September storm which required extensive garbage and waste
removal Trustee Staackmann stated the reserves are at 25% acid there is money. Trustee Thill
felt the psychological impact on the community would be beneficial. Trustee Marcus felt this
was a good conversation and if the economy was better he believes they would not be having this
discussion: He feels strongly the levy should be held for the coming year as Long as the Village
can continue to provide services and programs without disruption. Following the discussion,
Mayor Krier stated there will be a 0% increase in the levy for this year. He stated he believes the
Village Board has the citizens of the Village at heart.
The Village Board then expressed concern over the Library's requested 6.2% tax levy increase.
Corporation Counsel was asked for her opinion on whether the Village had a right to ask the
Library to hold down its requested levy. Corporation Counsel stated the library cannot pass a
levy without the Village Board's vote. Trustee Staackmann wanted to know why they want a
6.2% increase and felt they should also hold the line for this year. Mayor Krier stated Ile woulc
like to write the Library and ask them why they want to pass such a large increase and at the
sazne time inform them the Village will have no levy increase, h was suggested the Library
Board appear at the November 24, 2008 Village Board meeting. The Village Board then asked
for documentation on why the Library is requesting a 6.2% increase in their tax levy. A
correspondence will be prepared immediately by Mayor Krier.
There being no further business, Trustee Minx moved to adjourn the budget-workshop. The
motion was seconded by Trustee Marcus and approved unanimously pursuant to a voice vote at
9:24 pm.

VI. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (Agenda Items Only)
a. Eric Poders. Mr. Poders had concerns regarding Ordinance 08-42 (which reduces the speed
limit on Central Avenue between Church Street and Golf Road), specifically, that the street is
not marked (lanes, street parking, etc.). He was especially concerned about the 9200 and
9300 blocks of Luna Avenue and wondered if Luna could be made one-way southbound so as
to prevent people from using Luna as acut-through.
Mr. Poders commended the Board on their budget workshops and said he was glad the
Village is working on increasing its revenue by enforcing train station parking and by
increasing the visibility, and therefore the rental income, of the Civic Center.
Mayor Krier said Mr. Poders' concerns regarding Luna would be addressed when the
ordinance was discussed.
b. Patrick Kansoer. Mr. Kansoer was speaking in regard to Ordinance 08-44 (the tax levy
ordinance). He said that, according to the local newspaper, there was not going to be a tax
levy increase this year. Mr. Kansoer said that he wanted to congratulate those Board
members who were responsible for this and expressed his gratitude to them for fighting to
"hold the line" on a tax levy increase.
"Min~EB~ ~f NovBml~r~4„~ODa~nard ]Weetii~~`~
VI. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (Agenda Items Only) (continued)
Bill Luksha. Mr. Luksha said that he lives six houses from Central north of Church and
agrees that people do speed in that area. He pointed out that south of Church Street, the
speed limit is 25 mph. He felt that people should slow down-there would be less accidents
and it would be safer for bicyclists. Regarding the tax levy ordinance, Mr. Luksha said that the
people of Morton Grove are "all in a tough situation" and added that it was good that the Board
"pulled together".
VII. PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Proclamation
Mayor Krier Mayor Krier proclaimed the month of December 2008 as "Drunk and Drugged
Driving (3D) Prevention Month" in the Village and called upon everyone to support programs
and policies to reduce the incidence of impaired drivers, and to promote safer and healthier
behaviors regarding the use of alcohol and drugs during the December holiday season and
throughout the year.
VIII. CLERK'S REPORT
Clerk Fritzshall had no formal report, but noted that the FEMA officials had visited her. She
announced to the assemblage that the deadline for applying for disaster assistance has been
extended to December 16, 2008. For more information, residents can call 1-800-621-3362 or
visit FEMA's Website at www.fema.gov.
IX. STAFF REPORTS
A. Village Administrator
Mr. Wade announced that the Tax Levy Public Hearing will be held as part of the regularly-
scheduled Village Board Meeting on December 8, 2008.
Mr. Wade said that Village staff is looking for direction from the Board as to what it wants to
do about proceeding with the Dempster Street project in 2009. He said that it's the Illinois
Department of Transportation (IDOT)'s project as well as its road, but the Village does have
some decisions to make. The project is 10 years old. Does the Village want to continue
waiting for the funding to construct additional parking lots or does it want to go forward
with the roadway improvement in the 2009 construction season? Mr. Wade pointed out
that IDOT's priority is improving traffic flow, not constructing parking lots.
a. Mr. Wade said that Dempster Street has been designated a Strategic Regional Arterial road-
way because it connects the Edens Expressway and the Illinois Tollway and because
approximately 38,000-40,000 vehicles use it daily. Because it has what IDOT deems as a
"higher than acceptable" incidence of accidents, IDOT has proposed improvements such
as intersection improvements and a continuous center turning lane in the mile-long stretch
between Lehigh and Central. This would be a way of improving turning radius, alleviating
congestion, and lowering the number of accidents. If there is a continuous center turning lane,
123 street parking spaces will be lost.

STAFF REPORTS (continued)
b. Because this would hurt local businesses, a parking study was done and the Village proposed
to replace the 123 street parking spaces with parking lots that would offer 166 parking spaces.
To date, the Village has constructed three parking lots and made additional side street parking
for a total of 181 spaces.
c. Mr. Wade expressed concern because the Village has received a dozen grants for funding this
project and those grants may expire if they aren't used soon. He turned the presentation over
to Economic and Community Development Director Bill Neuendorf for more project specifics,
noting that Mr. Neuendorf is taking the project over since the departure of Ryan Gillingham.
Mr. Neuendorf holds a professional engineering certificate.
Mr. Neuendorf said that IDOT wants to improve traffic flow; the Village wants to retain the
viability of its business district. To achieve both goals, the Village suggested relocating the
street parking, improving the streetscape and appearance of Dempster, and retaining or
reducing the existing speed limit. There have been many meetings and discussions about the
Dempster Street Project, the most recently being ±his past summer. Final recommendations
for the project include widening the sidewalks, improving the sidewalks with trees, benches,
etc.; removing and relocating the on-street parking, and installing a continuous center turn -
lane. The finished product would, it is hoped. inspire business owners to renovate their
business' appearance and possibly entice new businesses to come in.
e. Mr. Neuendorf said, with regard to this project, that timing is "an opportunity and a challenge".
It would be an opportune time to replace one of the Village's oldest water mains, which runs
under Dempster Street. Water mains are designed for 50 years of service; this one has been
in service for 96 years. The cost estimate to replace the water main is $1.5 million. The good
news is that, if the Village replaces the water main during the reconstruction of Dempster
Street, the Village wouldn't be burdened with the full cost of the reconstruction. The new
water main would improve water pressure and reliability. The total cost for the Dempster
Street project is $10,320,977, which includes $4.3 million for roadway construction and
$3.9 million for parking lots.
Mr. Neuendorf summarized the sources of grants-there are 12. Morton Grove's"local
match" is virtually nil. He mentioned that there are three Federal grants, five State grants, and
one township grant...and each grant only covers certain things. At this point, the project is
scheduled to use 17% of Village funds, with 40% coming from the federal government and
43% coming from the State. The Phase 1 drawings were approved a year ago. The Phase 2
drawings are being reviewed. 181 parking spaces have been created. Mr. Neuendorf said
the State is in no hurry to fund the remaining $3.9 million for the parking lots. The Village has
already waited for eight years, and is not on IDOT's schedule for 2009, 2010, or 2011. He
agreed with Administrator Wade that the grants may expire if they aren't used soon, although
he noted that Village staff has been diligent about reviewing the grants and requesting
extensions of time and/or renewals. But if the funds aren't used soon, they will not be around.
g. Mr. Neuendorf said that another concern is that construction and labor costs are increasing,
commenting that the Dempster Street project cost has already increased 10% since the
Phase 1 drawings were approved. If the Village continues to wait, there will be additional
inflationary costs which the grants do not cover...so the Village would have to cover them.
Therefore, the Board needs to decide how to proceed. If the Board decides to wait, the traffic
delays on Dempster will continue; the street will continue to deteriorate and to look run down;
funding could be lost; the water main will continue to decline; grants could be reallocated. If
the Board decides to proceed, staff recommends a bond issue for the water main replacement
or the use of the Enterprise Fund Balance.

STAFF REPORTS (continued)
h. Construction could begin as early as summer of 2009. Replacement of the water main would
likely take 6-8 months.
i. Mayor Krier said that Corporation Counsel Liston was looking into whether a resolution or an
ordinance would be needed. He added that the State is looking to balance its budget and it's
quite conceivable that the Village could lose some of the State's funding.
Trustee Kogstad asked about the impact of this construction on local businesses.
Mr. Neuendorf said it would definitely have an impact, but the project could be done in phases.
It's too early to determine the construction phasing at this point. But the Village would make it
clear that the construction cannot shut down local businesses. He said he would recommend
an approach wherein both sides of the street would be done at the same time and traffic would
be detoured around that particular point.
k. Trustee Staackmann said that it might be advantageous to do this while the economy is slow
and there are so many empty storefronts.
1. Trustee Marcus asked about the truck traffic being detoured. Mr. NeuendorF agreed that
trucks might need "special" re-routing.
m. Mr. Wade said that staff is maintaining a dialogue with IDOT and would like to know the
Board's position as soon as possible.
B. Corporation Counsel:
Ms. Liston had no report.

TRUSTEES'REPORTS
Trustee Brunner reported that the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC)
said that the Village recycled 1,608 tons of paper in asix-month period, resulting in the Village
receiving a check for $45,000. The bad news is that the price for recycled paper has dropped
dramatically. It's unlikely the Village will receive that kind of money again; nevertheless,
Trustee Brunner encouraged everyone to recycle, recycle, recyle!
B. Trustee Kogstad:
Trustee Kogstad had no report.
C. Trustee Marcus:
Trustee Marcus had no report, but wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

All Corporate Purposes of the Village of Morton Grove and the Morton Grove Library for
the Calendar Year Effective January 1, 2009 and Ending December 31, 2009.
She explained that the Budget has been available for inspection at the offce of the Village
Administrator, the Public Library, and posted on the Village's website since at least
October 16, 2008. The Village's total budget is $51,574,586 and the Public Library's budget
is $3,034,607, for a grand total of $54,609,193.
There were no questions about the Budget. Trustee Marcus pointed out that he understands
the reasoning behind the Library's levy and will support it.
3. Trustee Minx then presented for a first reading Ordinance 08-44, An Ordinance Levying and
Assessing Taxes for the Village of Morton Grove, Cook County,711nois, for the Fiscal
Year Beginning January 1, 2009 and Ending December 31, 2009.
She said that, with budget expenditures of $51,574,586, the amount necessary to be levied
for 2008 property taxes is $12,006,873. By law, the Village is required to levy an additional
$2,264,388 for debt service payments authorized by general obligation notes and bonds, for a
total levy (before abatement) of $14,271,261. However, the Board intends to adopt several
resolutions that will immediately abate $2,264,388 from the levy, resulting in the net levy, as
intended, of $12,006,873.
Trustee Minx pointed out that the abatement resolutions are on tonight's Agenda but will not
be voted on until the December 8 Board Meeting. They can't be voted on until the Budget
ordinance passes.
Trustee Minx wished everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday.

Legal Speed Limit on Central Avenue Between Church Street and Golf Road Within the
Village of Morton Grove.
He explained that the Traffic Safety Commission had recommended this to create a safer
environment for residents living on Central Avenue as well as the general public. This will
reduce the speed limit from 35 mph to 25 mph on Central between Church Street and 500 feet
south of the Golf Road center line. Trustee Thill asked if there could be a two-week grace
period after the new speed limit signage is in place so that people have a chance to get used
to the new speed and "break the habit" of going 35 mph (or more).

XIII. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS
Gary Bailey. Mc.Bailey works for the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police Labor Counsel, which is
the exclusive bargaining agent for police officers below the rank of Sergeant. He has worked
with Morton Grove's officers for many years and said he was present tonight on their behalf
and at their insistence and direction. He said that, on November 10, 2008, the union member-
ship held a meeting to discuss a vote of "no confidence" in Police Chief Paul Tasch. A vote of
no confidence has been referred to as a way to communicate to the community and Village
management that the union's membership perceives the police chief to be "incompetent,
disinterested, non-communicative, and/or uncaring". The motion passed overwhelmingly. The
union members wanted this vote to be made public to the Board and the citizens of Morton
Grove.
a. Mr. Bailey said that the decision to take this vote and publicize its outcome was not made in
haste or without consideration of the implications to the Village. It was not done for political
purposes or to embarrass or humiliate the Chief. The union membership passed this vote to
alert residents and the Board that their efforts to bring the Village the best service possible
are being undermined and endangered. They passed this vote to alert the Village that the
problems are such that they are genuinely concerned with the future of the police department.
The vote was taken with the best interests of the Village foremost, and with recognition that
there could be retribution for those who supported the measure.
b. Mr. Bailey said that, in the years since his appointment, Chief Tasch has caused a steady
deterioration in the morale of the Police Department. Failure to respond to officers' needs has
contributed to this, and alienating officers under his command has caused a serious impact on
the respect for his leadership. His failure to address the glaring morale problems has caused
the union membership to question his priorities for the department. Mr. Bailey went on to say
that the chiefs tenure has been marked by Zack of communication; he has replaced direct
contact and the open sharing of information with silence. This leaves the membership feeling
that the chief is indifferent to their concerns. They feel a "climate of secrecy' has replaced a
previous "open door" policy. Veteran officers have departed, stating that they could no longer
work under his management. Current officers are evaluating their employment options,
should working conditions not improve dramatically. The membership feels that safety issues
seem to have faded from importance. They allege that the chief has failed to request updated
technological capabilities; that important training opportunities have decreased, and some
have even been eliminated. Other failings were noted as well.
Mr. Bailey said that the Village Administrator, Mayor Krier, and Corporation Counsel Liston
met with union representatives last week and were alerted that this Note had been taken and
the intention to make the vote and the union's concerns public. Certain police department
rules prevented a more specific discussion of concerns from taking place, but Mr. Bailey said
the membership is pleased that those Village representatives are interested in hearing their
concerns.
RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (continued)

XIII.
Mr. Bailey concluded by saying the police officers took an oath to protect the residents; they
d. put themselves in harm's way when it's needed and risk their lives. They are thankful for the
opportunity to serve the Village and want the police department to be the best in the country.
They hope Village management will listen to this appeal tonight and take action to prevent any
further harm from coming to the police department.
Deputy Chief Mark Erickson. Deputy Chief Erickson, accompanied by and speaking for the
2. command staff (rank of Sergeant and above), stated that the services provided by the police
department would not be diminished in either the delivery of services or the professionalism
of the officers due to any form of public or private disagreements related to contract or labor
issues. Deputy Chief Erickson said that the Morton Grove Police Department is a para-military
organization. Its members do not want to be accused of disobedience or insubordination. This
type of organization requires its members to adhere to a structured chain of command. This
chain of command is necessary to establish the authority of the Chief of Police to designate
command and to establish the accountability of supervisors and officers. Through State
statutes and local ordinance, the responsibilities ofthe Chief include the management,
direction, and control of the operations and management of the department. It is the opinion
of the members of the supervisory and command staftvthat they are required to support the
Chief in this process.
Deputy Chief Erickson and the command staff encouraged the use of venues in place to work
through common differences to realize a reasonable work environment for all. He reiterated
the dedication members of the Village's police department have to their mission and to the
community. He assured the residents that they will continue to provide the best possible ser-
vice to the Village and that they are committed to making Morton Grove the safest place in
which to live and work.
Chief Paul Tasch. Chief Tasch said that this is the first time he is hearing a lot of these
3. comments. He thanked everyone who has supported him, and stated that he has done
nothing "illegal, immoral, unethical, or detrimental to the Morton Grove Police Department."
He said his good name fias beemtarnished, adding that he's disappointed in the way in which
this matter has been pursued. He said he has always been and will continue to be available,
not only to the FOP membership, but to any member of the Police Department who wants to
discuss any issue with him. Chief Tasch concluded by stating that it's his goal, as shared by
the command and supervisory staff, to ensure that the MGPD continues to be a professional
law enforcement agency that provides quality service to the citizens of Morton Grove.
Mayor Krier, speaking for himself and the entire Board, stated that the actions taken by the
FOP attorney tonight are disturbing. The FOP's attorney has assured Mayor Krier that there
are no allegations being brought against Chief Tasch regarding any illegal activity or corrup-
tion or immoral act. Mayor Krier said that he has been assured by Chief Tasch, Deputy
Chief Erickson, the supervisory and command staff, and representatives of the FOP that the
Department has and will continue to operate effectively, and that public safety is in no way
being jeopardized by the FOP's action. Mayor Krier said, in essence, the FOP's attorney has
come before the Board at a televised meeting and has attacked the Police Chief, a man with
an impeccable 35-year record of service. He added that, once an attack is made, even if it is
untrue, the damage is done. Mayor Krier said he found it troubling that Chief Tasch was given
no prior indication of the FOP's action. The FOP hasn't provided any basis or accusation for
this attack.
RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (continued)

Mayor Krier said that no one has come to him, Corporation Counsel Liston, the Village Admin-
istrator, or any elected official to voice any concerns. There are no facts to support this attack,
and Chief Tasch has no means to defend himself. He asked that everyone respect Chief
Tasch's due process rights and to not pass any judgment whatsoever against the Chief
unless or until specific charges are alleged and proven. Speaking for the Board and the
administration, he said that nothing in the FOP's action to date has shaken any of their
confidence in Chief Tasch. In the next few weeks, the Village and FOP will begin negotiations
on a new collective bargaining agreement. He said he hoped this wasn't an attempt by the
FOP to strengthen their bargaining position.
A resident (Mike) said he empathized with Chief Tasch. He asked, regarding the property
5. the Village had purchased on Narragansett, if it would be demolished. He also asked why the
Village wouldn't proceed with the Dempster Street project, especially when it sounds like we
have enough parking spaces now. Mayor Krier said that the Narragansett property will likely
be demolished; it's been the Village's practice. Regarding the Dempster Street project, the
$1.5 million cost of the water main replacement is the biggest concern about going forward.
Melinda Mumford. Ms. Mumford commended the Board on televising the Budget
Workshops. Regarding Ordinance 08-43, she wondered what the Capital Improvements
are for 2009. Also the projected revenue for Public Works is $480,000 versus expenditures
of over $700,000...it's a shortfall of $290,000-where does that money come from? She
also commented that, since 2006, many Village streets are in need of repair. Ms. Mumford
wondered why the Village wasn't putting more money towards street repairs. She was
concerned about the decrease in revenue from real estate transfer taxes, and wondered if
the condition of the streets might be a contributing factor in the decline of said revenue.
Ms. Mumford also asked if the Village's TIF Districts are generating more revenue now, and
a. thought it was unfortunate that that revenue has to stay in the TIF Fund. She wondered if the
Village was trying to force people out by having such high property taxes, or if it was trying to
force seniors out. Why hasn't senior housing been accomplished?
Regarding Resolution 08-62, the software licensing, she wondered if it was necessary for the
b. Village to spend ahalf-million dollars on information technology. She also wondered why the
Village pays so much for consulting fees-why can't the Village just ask the people what they
want?, She asked what the Village does with its old computers-does it sell them or donate
them?
Ms. Mumford also felt that services to seniors were being cut, in spite of the fact that the Civic
c. Center (senior center) is generating more revenue than ever. She asked if something could be
done about that.
Ms. Mumford felt there was a serious traffic problem at Theobald and Central. She had
d. attended many Traffic Safety Commission meetings about this but was told there was no
money in the 2008 Budget to address the problem. She wanted to make sure that funds
would be allocated in the 2009 Budget for this. She felt children's lives were in danger and
thought there should be a cul de sac there, with the traffic rerouted to Frontage Road.
Mayor Krier asked Ms. Mumford what senior services were cut. She couldn't answer and took
e. the statement back.

XIII.
Mayor Krier said, regarding Capital Projects, there was an ambulance and a few other things,
f. but in general, that budget has been cut. Regarding street maintenance and repair, he said
the Village would like to do more streets, but again, it's a budget issue. The Village used fund
balance monies over the last couple of years to do more streets. He said the Village is not
trying to "force anyone out", it's just that money is tight and there's not much coming in.
The Village is proposing a 0% tax levy and is using its fund balances in order to achieve this.
g. The TIF District is generating more revenue but it's a fallacy that "we can't take money out of
there". Increment must stay there but when the TIF expires, the EAV will be higher and there
will be more revenue to spread around. Regarding senior housing, the Board is committed to
it and is reviewing an option for senior housing at the Domicile property. Mayor Krier pointed
out that the Village will have to "step up"and make a financial commitment to senior housing
as developers are reluctant to build senior housing that is affordable.
Eric Poders. Mr. Poders said his previous questions/concerns regarding Ordinance 08-42
and Luna Avenue hadn't been addressed. He said he hoped they would be addressed at the
December 8, 2008 Board Meeting. At the Traffic Safety Commission meeting, a woman had
testified that she had gotten hit in a vehicular accident on Luna, so it is a serious concern. _
Mr. Poders also commented that some positions at the Civic Center have been eliminated, in
a. spite of the fact that the revenue generated by the rental of the Civic Center has increased
from $27,000 in 2002 to $118,000 projected for this year.
Regarding the TIFs, in the 2008 Budget, due to delays in property tax revenue, there was
no percentage increase in the fax basis, in spite of the fact that incremental property values
in the Lehigh/Ferris TIF are $1.9 million and $660,000 in the Waukegan Road TIF. There are
many street improvements earmarked in 2009 in those TIFs-almost $2.8 million in capital
improvements. The TIFs are generating revenue but all of it is being spent in the TIFs, while
the rest of the Village suffers. Now that Mr. Gillingham is gone, Mr. Poders asked what's
going to happen with the Village and its streets? He, too, felt that there were too many
consultants.
Regarding computers, Mr. Poders said the Village doesn't have to lease them, noting that
c. buying things doesn't have to hurt if one can extend the useable life of things. He commended
the Public Works Department for being excellent at that. There are people that are active in
the Village who truly care, but many times they aren't listened to. Their recommendations and
ideas aren't being heard. He hoped the Village would move forward in 2009. He also hoped
that more residents would be present for the Public Hearing on December 8'h and asked if the
Library's levy was going to remain at 6.2% or if it was going to be a 0% increase. Mayor Krier
said the Library's levy would be 6.2%.
Pat Kansoer. Mr. Kansoer observed that the Board is considering dropping the speed limit on
8. Central between Church Street and Golf Road from 35 mph to 25 mph so it is uniform all the
way. It is also considering movino forward with a construction project on Dempster. If there's
construction on Dempster, where will the traffic go? Will it be going north down Central to
Golf? Is that where the trucks will go, and is Central rated for the weight of the trucks? He
felt the Village needed to look closely at this. It sounds good on the surface, but all of the
consequences need to be considered.
RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (continued)

XIII.
Bill Luksha. Mr. Luksha said that, with the 35 mph speed limit on Central, people generally
9. go 40 or 45 mph. He thought the Village was correct to reduce the speed limit. Regarding the
attack on Chief Tasch, he felt it was very unfortunate that this was brought out in public. He
said that he had some issues with the police service prior to Chief Tasch's appointment and
since he's been the Chief, he feels there's been more police "presence" in the Village, that
he's made improvements.
Mr. Luksha wondered if there was an ethics ordinance in the Village that restricts companies
who do business with the Village from contributing to local politicians or political parties. He
said he's done some research on this and learned that one political party received contribu-
tions from Groot and S.B. Friedman Associates in 2005, and, in the 2005 election, one party
spent and collected close to $40,000. He felt it was time to "remove this temptation" from local
politics.
Mike said, regarding the Dempster Street project, that he had heard a while ago that there
10. was a federal transportation grant (a CTA/Metra/Pace transportation grant) to run express
buses from Evanston to O'Hare. This is a project that was going to begin, he thought, in 2009.
Is that something that IDOT and the Village is aware of and considering when thinking about
whether to proceed with the Dempster Street construction? He also wondered if there would
be another Dempster Street presentation coming up to discuss the traffic rerouting issue.
Mayor Krier said he frequently receives letters from the CTA and Pace about cutting lines that
service Morton Grove. The Village sent a letter to the governor today asking him not to cut the
transportation and distribution funding. Regarding another Dempster Street presentation,
Mayor Krier said there will be another one, but it's premature to do so right now.
Jim Quinn. Mr. Quinn said it was inappropriate and insensitive for the FOP union to do a
11. "chop job" on the police chief with no prior warning and in public. It should have been handled
in a private meeting. The way it was handled says bad things about that union. He felt that it
was related to the upcoming labor negotiations and felt that "work rules" would be the union's
main issue iri the negotiations.. Mr. Quinn felt the union'stacticshad harmed the Village and,
as a taxpayer and a happy citizen, he resents it.
Trustee Marcus said that, as liaison to the Police and Fire Commission, he's worked with
12. Chief Tasch and has found him to be very professional, a man of honor and integrity. He felt
Chief Tasch had always had an open door policy. Trustee Marcus said he was proud of the
chief and has always been proud of the police department, but he concurred with Mr. Quinn
in that the representative of the FOP's approach was, in his opinion, unprofessional and
unethical. He felt the best way to resolve problems is for the parties to sit down and discuss
the issues and come to a common agreement. That would have been better for the Board
and the Chief. Trustee Marcus said he respected and supported Chief Tasch.

without overburdening general operation of the GIS program. Many of these services
will go unnoticed to the Village but are required to sustain the GIS program. The

not provided by the Village or the GIS Consortium.
A. Services relate to the direct management, development, operation, and
maintenance of the Village GIS required to reasonably support the system.
B. Services relating to the investigation, research, and development of new
functionality and capability for the GIS Consortium and its members.

Village investment. The Consultant includes, but is not limited to, the following
personnel:

the Village. This projection is established by and between the Village, GISC, and the
Consultant. Although variations are anticipated, the Village and the Consultant
