KAF DEBATE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION PLANS (Continued from page 1) $46,000 of Harvard and $51,000 of Marengo These monies would come from someplace other than the fare box. RTA Senior Program Coordinator Clayton Weaver said an estimated $400,000 to $450,000 could be saved over a five year period if the fixed route bus services could be consolidated into a single contract. Another option is the discontinuation of Milwaukee Road rail service north of Fox Lake. This action would save approximately $550,000 over a five year time frame. If all three actions were taken. Weaver said, the expected $4.5 million deficit in FY 1986 could be reduced to $3.2 million. The RTA and the two Transportation committees will be looking at revising the fixed route bus system. However, each revision or elimination of service involves a trade-off between lost riders and reduced subsidy which would have to be weighed. The revisions might include routing,' or perhaps running buses every other FRIDAY, APRIL 16.1082 hour on some routes or at particular times of the day. In addition to the possible actions, the RTA could raise fares. A 10-percent fare increase would generate about $380,000. In FY 1986, this increase is expected to bring about $415,000 to the RTA coffers. A continuation of the rail surcharge would bring $1.18 million in FY 1983. The revenue projections also took into account various factors outside the control of the RTA. These include an unexpected ridership increase (over the predicted 3 percent), a continuation of federal funds, which are presently being phased out and state assistance. Some audience members expressed concern over an upcoming Illinois Commere Commission (ICC) hearing concerning the fate of the station agent in McHenry. The hearing is scheduled for May 6. RTA Manager Ford said he had no problem with contacting the ICC and requesting further continuance. "I still believe the station agent issue should be resolved in the overall plan," Ford said. Ford added that the RTA would contact the Chicago and North Western to determine if they would concur in a continuation of the hearing. The information was presented to committee members for further study. A joint Transportation committees meeting was set for May 6. Lunkenheimer as assistant managers.

Table Action On Pay Raise f ri SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE l.d The Village of Wonder Lake trustees decided to table action on a pay raise request for Superintendent of Public Works A1 Zeman until a special meeting, slated for April 19. Zeman first requested a pay raise to $4 per hour, from $50 per month, in March. The wage, based on a 40-hour working month, would amount to $1,920 a year. According to trustee Anita Van- derwiel, the General fund operates on about $34,000 annually and many trustees feel the wage would be too large an amount for the fund to handle. Through discussions with Illinois Department of Transportation field engineer, Haldor Lowrey, it was discovered that state Motor Fuel Tax money can be used to pay wages related to road repair. "I'm not trying to fleece the village," said A1 Zeman. "My proposal, I think, is dirt cheap. You need the right man to run the job. That's how you get your money's worth. I'm talking about my money too. I'm sick and tired of potholes and no action." Zeman has refused to begin patching and sealing operations until a decision on the salary request has been made. He estimated the amount of patch needed for existing problems at about 100 tons. The board has agreed that paying Zeman with MFT funds would allow the Public Works department to function independently and that he is wortH what he is asking. "A1 is essentially a one-man department," Mrs. Vanderwiel said. "He is supervisor, chief cook and bottle washer." The argument against the pay raise, as voiced by James Rachel, is that the raise would quash what little volun- teerism remains. If the board does not approve the salary request, Zeman has said he would limit his duties to a supervisory role. The village would then need to hire a truck driver and three laborers. The final decision is expected to be made at a special meeting Monday, April 19 at 8 p.m. in Rachel's home, 8807 Dorr road, Wonder Lake.
