Mayor Staackmann stated the purpose of the meeting was to review security procedures for the
upcoming NATO summit and discuss pending litigation, personnel matters, labor negotiations,
and real estate matters. These topics are appropriate for Executive Session.
At the close of the Executive Session the Special Meeting is expected to resume and Ryan
Horne, Village Administrator, will give an update on electrical aggregation rates as well as a
review of the Executive work plan.
Trustee Marcus then moved to adjourn to Executive Session to discuss security proceeds for the
upcoming NATO Summit, pending litigation, personnel matters, labor negotiations, and real
estate matters. The motion was seconded by Trustee Thill and approved unanimously pursuant
to a roll call vote at 6:03 pm.
At the conclusion of the Executive Session, Village Administrator Ryan Horne gave a report on
the electrical aggregation rates. He spoke with NIMEC and the Village has partnered with
Kenilworth and Batavia who has given a very positive result of approximately 48% of the
electrical supply costs residents currently pay. This beat the consortium rate by approximately
cent and should save residents approximately $300 per year on their electrical costs. The next
step was for Corporation Counsel to finalize a contract with the successful bidder and it is
anticipated that will be ready by the end of the week.
Mr. Horne then, gave an update on the Executive Work Plan and reviewed various task
assignments. A general discussion then ensued.
Trustee Marcus moved to adjourn the Special Meeting. The motion was seconded by Trustee
