proceed with the RFP and firms who have made inquiries. He also commented on the |
|
Tree Planting being moved from Hotel Motel Fund to the General Fund. He said it |
|
disturbed him that a well established program which falls under the Hotel Motel Tax |
|
would be moved from that fund into the general fund. He does not concur with that |
|
decision and said that perhaps we should be more prudent in our grants to various |
|
community groups Trustee Tross as Chair of the Committee pointed out that the |
|
community groups generate tourism and therefore are qualified recipients. |
|
Trustee Schaffer announced that there will be an opening for a member on the Finance |
|
Committee this summer and encouraged residents to fill out an interest form if they wish |
|
to be appointed. He also mentioned that the Preliminary Budget goes to the Finance |
|
Committee on Monday Night. |
|
President Mueller recommended that Board members attend the FInance Committee |
|
meeting and iron out their concerns and questions during that meeting so that when the |
|
Budget comes to the Board for approval all questions and concerns will have already |
|
been answered. |
|
Trustee Tross questioned the item on the Consent Agenda regarding Cruise Nights |
|
saying that in the past July 1 and 18th would not have been Cruise Nights because they |
|
would coincide with the Taste of Lombard and German Fest. President Mueller |
|
confirmed that this year they will also be held on those nights. |
|
Trustee Tross also questioned the Main and 16th project verifying that District 44 will |
|
reconfigure their traffic patterns before we proceed. Village Engineer David Dratnol |
|
confirmed that the Village is getting the preliminary work done so we will be ready to go |
|
when the School District gets their traffic reconfigured. |
|
Trustee Sebby mentioned that in previous Cruise Nights local merchants such as the |
|
Barber Shop had concerns about the parking signs that were put up. President |
|
Mueller said they are using different signs which will cover the regular permanent signs |
|
this year to eliminate that problem. He also said that they will try and have merchants |
|
and restaurants stay open through the event. |
Trustee Borgatell left the room before the vote on the Consent Agenda.
