37
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:28,080
that's uh published on the agenda but
mostly just comments uh at the last

38
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:32,760
meeting we uh members of the finance
committee U after quite a bit of

39
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:40,080
deliberation over a period of time we
wrapped up uh finalizing the formation

40
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:44,720
of uh uh coming up with the job
description categories and everything

41
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:49,439
for all the employees and also salary
ranges and things of that nature and

42
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:54,560
that work that worked out good um and
then uh the second thing is uh since

43
00:03:52,400 --> 00:04:01,280
we're in February I was going to try to
do this uh at the last meeting but I

44
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:06,159
wasn't uh here for that um we up to 24
uh the year end in pretty good shape and

45
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:10,840
as Jim Dam the treasurer just pointed
out we're in real good shape we had

46
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:15,040
expensive month there with expenses but
the bulk of that 9 million a lot of it

47
00:04:12,519 --> 00:04:20,959
was internal transfers it's not actually
money that was out the door for uh

48
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:26,880
various uh vendors or anything but uh
when we approached the year uh we did

49
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:32,800
the 20124 budget um we were looking at a
budget of about 13, 846

50
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:37,440
,000 in round numbers and then we
actually um finished up the year in

51
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:42,360
pretty good shape we were at a surplus
we came in just over 15 million and then

52
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:48,560
with some adjustments and like some
transfers and things uh year at the

53
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:53,039
actual year end we were just a tad under
um 800,000 to the plus side I think it

54
00:04:51,479 --> 00:04:59,880
was actually like
791 um I rounded off eight for my notes

55
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:05,400
and then um the um couple of Main
reasons that we had such a great year um

56
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:10,520
was uh in the permit area that was
number one we were about

57
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:15,039
$600,000 to the plus side um with a
little gain comes a little pain there

58
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:21,039
was the direct result of a lot of um
storm damage that people incurred and

59
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:27,319
then um another one on the main expense
was uh just there's a couple areas um

60
00:05:24,919 --> 00:05:34,440
two of the biggest are uh the expense of
running the city and the administrative

61
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:39,960
area which um our our budget was 33 we
did a great job I thought coming in at

62
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:44,600
about 3.2 million so just under by about
100,000 and um then uh when you look at

63
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:50,160
the overall budget for the
police um that budget comes in on the on

64
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:57,479
the target was
5.1 and we were like almost dead on and

65
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:02,720
it was just a um a little bit uh over
the 5.1 so uh while and all the the

66
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:10,199
budgeting process on those items was
like really uh uh very accurate um and

67
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:14,440
then uh just you know in general since
um uh you know it's a it's a city and

68
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,479
there's a lot of attention going on
nowadays with what's going on in

69
00:06:16,599 --> 00:06:24,240
Washington DC and of course Illinois
which you know we're in the opposite uh

70
00:06:21,599 --> 00:06:30,240
category we you know we have a surplus
budget um and the at the federal level

71
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:36,479
obviously um you know there's big
problems and also in Illinois in fact um

72
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:42,120
I wish I could be like our friend uh Mr
mus because then I could um maybe do

73
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:46,919
some additional cutting but um uh the
main revenues and main drivers during

74
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:51,639
the year uh we picked up about a little
over half a million dollars in interest

75
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:58,680
because of the balances we're keeping um
our property taxes uh for both the city

76
00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:05,319
and the police came in at um about 3.8
million uh and revenue um the cell

77
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:11,120
towers and uh the comp cast fees that we
charge for uh these for them to do

78
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:14,680
business within our town uh was a little
bit over

79
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:20,000
500,000 um and as I mentioned in my
other remarks the permits was

80
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:25,240
600,000 and then uh the a big the
biggest one miscellaneous state tax uh

81
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:31,919
trickle Downs that we get was like uh
about 4.5 million and um so that's you

82
00:07:29,599 --> 00:07:37,319
know what comprises the budget and it
you know it's more than just um a couple

83
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:42,120
of uh things that we just throw together
it's there's a lot I mean we're looking

84
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:51,000
at the pages it's this thing and um so
for 2025 we're going into the year with

85
00:07:46,039 --> 00:07:59,599
um a projected uh increase about
4.59% and um you know we as I said our

86
00:07:55,319 --> 00:08:04,800
2024 number was 13 million 836 we're
going to be slightly higher at 14, 470

87
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:09,840
which is about half a million dollar and
um all of that we have you know air mark

88
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:18,199
for different things we have quite a bit
of expenses uh always in the um two two

89
00:08:15,039 --> 00:08:23,599
main areas one um you know the uh Public
Works maintain the street sewers and

90
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:28,639
also um uh you know we spend quite a bit
of money uh uh taking care of the rck

91
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:32,200
lake gather and things of that nature so

109
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:18,200
forfeit your account um it's it's a sad
thing to note but our Police Department

110
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:23,120
um regularly seizes uh drugs and normal
operations of uh everyday life and

111
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:27,640
Payless Heights uh through police stops
and car searches and things like that

112
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:34,200
the dollar amounts that they get by
participating in such a program is u in

113
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:41,959
my mind astronomical I wish I wish it
was a zero but because of the situation

114
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:48,839
it's kind of a a good from a bad also um
I would like to comment on a couple

115
00:10:43,959 --> 00:10:55,000
other situations again uh for scams some
notable in our community uh palis sites

116
00:10:51,920 --> 00:11:02,360
resident has fallen prey to a 15,000
Bitcoin scam um again I don't know how

117
00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:09,200
it is that we can uh protect ourselves
and our family members from such scams

118
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:15,720
uh I don't know how we can
uh sooe each other and and promote uh

119
00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:21,519
safety and diligence and such things but
uh be alert to that situation protect

120
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:27,480
your assets and uh um follow up with a
loved one or a trusted uh advisor if you

121
00:11:25,079 --> 00:11:36,399
can before you make any
moves um also so a local man is being

122
00:11:31,959 --> 00:11:42,240
blackma blackmailed by an online hookup
person again be especially careful if

123
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:48,200
you're online looking for love okay
because it it could go bad as it does in

124
00:11:44,639 --> 00:11:53,560
so many instances so that's we keep
repeating such things but it's a it's a

125
00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:59,560
common scem what that all about there
was the guy down the road

126
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:05,720
here that was rhetorical it's a truth
I think I figured it out um and again

127
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:12,360
none of us is um too smart or too
educated or too Street Savvy uh to be

128
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:18,519
caught up in a scam and as you as you
readers of the regional noted last week

129
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:23,440
a commissioner from a uh nearby
community made kind of light of the fact

130
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:28,560
that he himself was scammed u in a
simple uh Tollway email that he received

131
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:32,920
that said he owed $6 or something and
Miss told

132
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:39,800
and he immediately hit the button and
then before he knew it he was making

133
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:44,600
purchases in Asia and Japan and etc etc
that's how fast the scam hit and and how

134
00:12:41,959 --> 00:12:49,160
fast it hit his account so uh be aware
of those things once

135
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:54,320
agains is not going to contact you at
tax time for any information or any

136
00:12:51,639 --> 00:13:01,480
action so and if you get a Call of that
nature or an email um or a US mail uh

137
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:08,360
just uh ignore it throw it in the
garbage and um I know there's two sides

138
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:13,440
at least two sides to every story but um
the cameras the cameras that our Police

139
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:19,440
Department operate and the cameras that
are in our town and in our life do a

140
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:26,440
great job in helping us combat crime or
at least capture some of the criminals

141
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:33,000
um well our cameras in the city located
a hid and run vehicle incident on past

142
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:38,240
couple weeks they are identifying a
quick change scam artist that hit the

143
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:42,160
CVS and a couple other CVS uh around the
suburban area I don't know you're

144
00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:46,839
probably not familiar with that scam if
you're not in retail but it's pretty

145
00:13:44,199 --> 00:13:53,120
similar to um which cup is the ball
under only it's played with real dollar

146
00:13:49,759 --> 00:13:58,519
bills and uh it's to confuse the person
that's sitting uh at the register in a

147
00:13:55,199 --> 00:14:03,959
store this Shuffle of money goes so fast
that an individual can get overwhelmed

148
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:09,600
and be scammed the CVS was short at
about $1,500 for purchase excessive

149
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:14,680
amount of purchase of gift cards so
that's uh another plus to the cameras

150
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:20,000
also cameras uh helped the police
department recently identify and capture

151
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:27,199
the suspects in the Payless highest
convenience store armed robbery so that

152
00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:33,519
that arrest also um secured a got one
more gun off the off the streets for us

153
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:38,839
and um finally surveillance surveillance
videos identified a van and driver in a

154
00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:44,279
reported child luring case at a palis
height bus stop so all these interest

155
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:50,199
all these incidents are scary situations
for most of us and for average citizen

156
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:55,120
and I'd like I'd like to just say that
um the police department are doing such

157
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:59,839
a fantastic job and every Aid that they
have and every tool that they can use is

158
00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:03,759
an asset to our community and our safety
and that's into my report thank you yeah

159
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,040
bass I think i' just like to address the
fact that you notice in your motions

160
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:11,320
that the money goes back to the drug
acid forfeiture uh fund and I think it's

161
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:15,040
important to know that this is a long
running program that started I think in

162
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:19,920
the 70s or 80s actually where we have
some cases we have officers who are

163
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:24,399
detailed to various federal agencies and
anything they get they capture basically

164
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:30,839
we get a p portion of that and just for
example we have not purchased uh General

165
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:36,959
funds a squad car in probably 25 or 30
years uh the whole whole police station

166
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:42,839
was actually paid for uh by the uh drug
asset forer for money that goes back all

167
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:46,560
the way to U when that F cus yeah CU I
know yeah I know in the 70s we did that

168
00:15:44,959 --> 00:15:49,959
when we did the the fire police station
because I was involved in financing that

169
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,440
originally so but it's a great program
and we just uh last week we had a

170
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:59,759
swearing in ceremony for we had a young
man one of our officers a poak who went

171
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:04,319
to uh uh went to the FBI now for the
same same type of program so it's it's a

172
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:08,160
good program for us one one last thing
and uh I should have just mentioned it

173
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:16,839
Alderman B so we could have just brought
it up but another uh scam that um I just

174

cable TV nothing this time old
business citizens wishing to ask

310
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:16,320
questions new business Mr Mayor yes I
have something um and they're going to

311
00:28:14,159 --> 00:28:23,480
pull us up so first of all I think we're
all blessed to have um the Public Works

312
00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:29,919
does a great job on the S removal um I
think we're you know one of the best um

313
00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:33,799
uh towns and cities anywhere in any
suburb in the whole area you can see it

314
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:40,519
when you drive around visiting your
friends neighbors uh kids and stuff so

315
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:44,399
it and so we always talk about this and
I you know I've been talking about this

316
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:51,480
you know I just wanted to maybe have
Adam um look into this I um had some

317
00:28:48,399 --> 00:28:54,760
calls you know there's so many people um
I mean in town we're getting to be

318
00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:59,000
probably a little bit more balanced but
there are a lot of older people in let's

319
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:05,360
say my age group and even older
especially in some of the um in the

320
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:09,000
single family properties especially so U
one of the things we've brought up

321
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:15,120
before and we always had a reason not to
do it is it it aggravates a lot of

322
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:20,679
people that when they when the plows
come by they do a great job get it down

323
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:24,840
to the to the asphalt but what happens
usually even on these smaller snowstorms

324
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:30,720
we've been having what ends up in front
of your driveway is is the worst part of

325
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:36,200
the show Ling for either the person or
the service and so um and we've talked

326
00:29:34,519 --> 00:29:41,880
about it before about maybe getting an
F-150 or something to go along and just

327
00:29:39,279 --> 00:29:47,640
shoot stuff and it's always a little bit
like well how do we how would we do that

328
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:54,000
well I I was doing a little research and
um is it possible to pull this up

329
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:58,960
there's a machine like a front loader
this I actually have it

330
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:04,960
here but
um this I think she's going to show this

331
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:09,399
I wasn't sure everybody could see this
and it's pretty quick like about two

332
00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:13,039
seconds but are you going to be able to
pull that up I'm working on

333
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:23,080
it it's a pretty clever uh setup

334
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:33,840
we have to pass this
around will that tie into

335
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:42,000
the
um it's started to take up your time

336
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,080
but

337
00:30:52,919 --> 00:31:01,360
here do you have any more drawings for
us to look at yeah just kind of artic

338
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,360
bucket

339
00:31:01,679 --> 00:31:05,159
yeah you see

340
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:17,880
that this arm it's like it's a
Contraption on the front on the front

341
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,880
motor Ma

342
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:28,679
Bo so when you would get to the driveway
instead of having stuff pile up in front

343
00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:32,960
of your driveway
um I was hoping that she could show

344
00:31:36,639 --> 00:31:45,080
it it goes out like
this see it okay pretty cool and

345
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:59,720
um got it yeah so it's you know it it's
just something to think about I'm not

346
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:04,760
sure would work but it it would save a
lot of people a lot of back pains for

347
00:32:01,559 --> 00:32:09,399
sure and um and you know we already have
we already have the the the big machine

348
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:13,320
and it would almost be like acquiring
the right angle the arm which is

349
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:17,360
basically a right angle to sweep it and
it would push it to the side of your

350
00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:21,039
driveway yeah and then you know it would
save a lot of people u a lot of

351
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:24,519
aggravation I I don't even know if it
would work well why don't you refer to

352
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:29,240
uh Adam and see we that's I thought Adam
get a demonstration of it up at the road

353
00:32:27,039 --> 00:32:35,399
thing now yeah take a look at it co
that's the I know that all right uh

354
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:41,039
business any c any questions back up a
give a slight report on the roads this

355
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:48,200
that Adam asked me that we had 13 events
with snow so far this year and we used

356
00:32:44,519 --> 00:32:56,440
27 tons of salt and
225 gallons of liquid brine during those

357
00:32:51,880 --> 00:33:04,320
13 events also report on a uh ongoing
situation at Route 83 three in O Park

358
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:08,360
Avenue uh we finally got words to wide
out and what we got to do and not do but

359
00:33:06,519 --> 00:33:13,320
there'll be two flashing lights
installed for East and westbound traffic

360
00:33:11,559 --> 00:33:17,279
similar to the ones we have at the rec
center at the Crossing there to make

361
00:33:15,679 --> 00:33:21,440
that crossing
over a little bit safer to get onto the

362
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:28,159
bike path entrance there so that's
upcoming working on that and part of

363
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:32,679
that requirement in in cooperation with
Trinity High School they're doing some

364
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:37,880
construction or expansion is uh the
entrance ways uh to the East are going

365
00:33:35,399 --> 00:33:42,120
to be revamped there'll be no more
crossing the striped lines coming in the

366
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:48,200
opposite way that those were designed
for and with that I that's okay but we

367
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:53,799
what we have to do and uh what we're
going to do is lengthen the existing

368
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:58,159
turning Lan so now those cars will come
in and turn there on Oak Park and into

369
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:02,240
the school okay good which makes it lot
safe and everything there so that

370
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:06,279
hopefully we'll get all done by the end
of the spring we're opening so but

371
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:10,480
that's just a little safety update on
good all right any other old business
