It should prove to be very informative and could an­ swer many of the questions people have been concerned about. - BOARD ACTIONS Village treasurer, Jim . Janick resigned his position and Johann Bargel has been appointed to the position. Chris Foote was hired as full-time office secretary at the annual salary of $9,600. plus a 14 percent fringe benefit package. Two full- time police officers were hired and paid from the general fund (salary unknown). President Grimes made it known that he intended to submit his resignation to the county CETJV Advisory Board (the resignation was received and accepted). Ordinance 86 presenting figures regarding the pur­ chase of the new police vehicle are as follows: total purchase price $9,400. payable with $2,400 down, and $7,000 dividea equally in 3 annual installments together with simple interest on the unpaid balance of 8Vfe percent per annual. The ordinance was referred to the Ordinance committee and passed, after the waiving of three readings, which pertain to the purchase of a police vehicle. P r e s i d e n t G r i m e s reported that the conflict with the City of McHenry over sewers must be resolved before negotiations can occur with the McHenry County Planning com­ mission and the Nor­ theastern Illinois Planning commission (NIPC) . A resignation of officer Bankson was acepted and an investigation of the feasibility of an insurance program for one officer with a^ cost ceiling of ap­ proximately $350. was ap­ proved. Ordinance 7.1 was passed by a vote of 4 yes and 3 ab­ sent. It pertains to the maintenance of private property by the owner. If not done, the village will let the work on bids and add a 10 percent administration cost. Ordinance 23.1 was passed by a vote of 4 yes and 2 ab­ sent. This pertains to soliciting within the village limits and raises the fee to $25. By a vote of 5 yes and 1 absent, hourly rates for police services to Prairie Grove at $14.75 and Bull Valley at $15.50 for 20 hours per week was approved, (the VUlage of Prairie Grove has since declined the offer and established its own police department. Planning Commission Chairman Bill. Montgomery inquired1 why the boundary line agreement with the Village of Prairie Grove was not signed by the Board. The Board explained that they felt it was not in the best interest of the village to ratify the agreement with reference to future possible annexations. The Ordinance committee is reviewing and considering the possible change of the speed limit on Barreville road from 45 m.p.h. to 35 m.p.h. and to establish a no- passing zone on Dayton street in the Industrial park. Mr. Molnar was appointed to the police department and Mr. Rigsby was appointed Road Commission and Public Works director. The Finance committee recommended there be no mosquito abatement upon the recommendations of Rigsby, who contended that due to what surrounding areas are doing, it is a waste of money for us to do anything. Trustee Weiler explained to the Board that a report would be coming to them soon concerning tax in­ creases, inasmuch as the village must increase its revenue. Some possible ways to be thought about are: 1) tax sales on any property sold in the village, 2) utility taxes on electricity, gas, telephone, etc.; as high as 5 percent 3) real estate tax increase which would require a referendum 4) annual tax for road repairs, police, etc. The Finance committee recommended that the piers, etc. be removed because of the cost to repair, as well as to reduce the liability in­ surance. It was referred to committee for action at the May 27 meeting. Trustee Haderly sub­ mitted a Road Improvement Funding study and it was noted that it would cost more to fix the roads or maintain them than the $1,400. per month available through Motor Fuel Tax and Road & Bridge funds. The trustees were asked to study the report, consider the problem, and be ready with their comments for the May 27 meeting. It was noted that $3,100. is in the Revenue Sharing fund and must be used on something which benefits all residents of the village. The funds will be considered at the May 27 meeting. A Board Work Research session was held recently and the discussion centered around budget guidelines and income for the period May 1,1980 through April 30, 1981. Anticipated, income is $105,000. with anticipated expenditures of $100,000. in the General fund only. Anticipated income in­ cludes real estate and state income taxes, contractual services to Bull Valley, MFT charge backs, proposed 5 p e r c e n t u t i l i t y t a x ( a p ­ proximately $25,500.) police f i n e s , i n t e r e s t a n d miscellaneous. No action was taken as the matter must come before the full Board at its regular meeting. BENEFIT IS A SUCCESS The ultimate conclusion to f a fun-filled evening recently was the donation to Lon Reed, our Building and Zoning officer, to help defray his recent hospital costs. It is extremely heart-warming to know that neighbors and friends care enough to ex­ press their, concerns and extend their assistance in time of help and need.
