begining last fall. He pointed out that income tax and sales taxes are beginning to

improve. He explained overall expenditures and the General fund's revenues and

expenditiures. He also highlighted expenditures and revenues in the Water and Sewer

funds.

He explained that due to the passage of the Sales Tax Referendum, there will be no

increases in the water and sewer rates, except for the processsing fee, which, for an

average household would be around $11.00 a year.

He touched on the proposed Capital Improvements Program (CIP) expenditures and

amounts financed with Village Funds, including watermain as part of the

Westmore/Meyers Street Improvement Project, improvements of Morris Avenue east of

Fairview to Ahrens, engineering of the Olde Towne East project and the reconstruction

Mr. Glazier for all his work and involvement in Lombard through the years. He then

announced that since President Mueller has been President a long time he now wants to

be King and Board members presented him with crowns and a key to the executive

commode. President Mueller explained that this evolved out of the Business

Recognition Luncheon program Wednesday.
