06-28-1976 Budget Workshop Meeting 6/28/76 COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SHOP Monday, June 28, 1976 7:30 p.m. at the Village Hall In attendance: Mayor McIntosh, Councilmen Davis, Condit, and McLeod Village Manager, Earl K. Andersen Village Attorney, William F. Fann, Jr. Recreation Director, Harold E. Petrey The first itme to be discussed was in regard to the need for non-resident club members and the best way to remove the present restrictions on accept- ing non-resident golf members. Mr. Fann advised that Ordinance No. 356 could be amended to accomplish this by striking, in Section 15-47, - (a) A non-resident, the words "presently holding a golf membership". Then, the Council by resolution at any time, can set the fee and define the privileges of the new category, without affecting present memberships, if that is desired. The Clerk was directed to advertise reading of this ordinance to be held on July 6th and July 20th. The Council suggested that the Village Manager get a membership committee from the Golf Association. Each application should have four resident members as sponsor. Mr. Fann reported, in regard to the shrubbery ordinance, that it would be written, with Council's agreement, to prohibit maintenance of shrubbery that impedes pedestrian traffic on walkways and vehicular traffic in alleys, with violation to be handled in County Court. Recreation Dept. budget: Mr. Petrey presented a plan for redesigning walls and rooms at the Community Center to afford more space, at an estimated cost of $25, 000. 00. The Council agreed to provide $12, 500. 00 in the new budget for this re-construction plus the $10, 000. 00 remaining in the current budget. Facilities for the handicapped will also be considered in the construction work. Salaries: In the salaries proposed in the new budget, the Village Manager had figured an average 516 raise for fulltime employees, plus the same longevity as granted the Police Dept. last year. This, however, provided a 15% raise for 20-year employees, which the Council felt was excessive. The subject is to be continued at another meeting to be held on the next evening, Tuesday, June 29th, at 7:00 p.m. The meeting adjourned at 11:15 p.m. Village Clerk
