Budget Study Session
Mr. Albers presented the proposed budgets for the Administrative, Police, and Street divisions of the General Fund accounts and the budgets for the Water and Sewer Funds. Chief Rea discussed the Police department budget request. Changes that were highlighted included the addition of line items for health and life insurance costs totaling approximately $11,000.00, an estimated increase of four percent for dispatching based upon figures from METCAD, and $4,000.00 in the maintenance-building service line item for a new door at the public works facility. Mr. Martin then discussed the budget proposals for the street department, and the Water and Sewer Funds. The only significant change in the Sewer Fund was the inclusion of $20,000.00 for the purchase of a new pump for the Central Avenue lift station. The Board also consented to including $2,000.00 for smoke testing of sewer lines to discern illegal connections. In the Water Fund, monies had been allocated for the cleaning of the water tower; however, he noted that the Village would be trying to keep major expenses to a minimum in order to rebuild the fund balance without needing to increase consumer rates. The significant projects for the street department would include the construction of new fencing at the public works facility and around all lift stations to better secure these areas. Mr. Martin stated that he had obtained an estimate of $12,000.00 to $15,000.00 for a new fence at the site. Mr. Albers then discussed the administrative account in the General Fund. He noted there were no significant changes other than increasing funds for the upgrade of computers at Village Hall.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:08 pm.
