on the other two sides as meets our Village Code. Hulseberg also said that there are |

mentioned that it is also being looked at by the Public Works Committee. He also said |

that there is a shelf in the pond so that no one could fall into deep water. Trustee Tross |

Mr. Lichter explained the increase. Trustee Kufrin said that he could not vote for the |
|
increase and he thinks that it is a wrong time to be increasing fees. He thinks that the |
|
reserve fund should be used instead. He asked that the Board to hold off for six to nine |
|
months until we can see how serious our situation is. He thinks this increase is |
|
unnecessary. Director Flood explained the reserve fund of the general fund around 27 |
|
percent and we target for 25 percent. Without the proposed increase we will not be able |
|
to balance the fund and retain the fund balance at about 13 percent of expenditures and |
|
next years budget would be operating in a deficit. Trustee Tross said he would not vote |
|
for the increase because he thinks that it is too low and should be increased so not to |
|
burden property tax payers, that Utility Tax payers should not have to pay the burden |
|
for maintenance of water sewer infrastructure improvements and repairs. Trustee |
|
Sebby explained why he can understand both viewpoints and that he finds his bills a bit |
|
high but that like any corporation we must balance our books and be able to provide |
|
services, therefore he will reluctantly vote in favor of the increase. |
