This workshop was to wind up review of the Village budget with agreement
on proposed revenues, millage rate and budget hearing dates.
The Village Manager reported on:
1. Gas heating at the pool $2400.00 - Mr. Varney explained
cost experience on this item and need for this appropriation.
2. Telephone at Tot Lot - Mr. Forney reported that Southern Bell
will put one in but we will have to pay for installation
and about $20.00 a month. This item was not approved based
on the negative position of Council members Jensen, Lodge
and Spahn.
3. Medical costs - Mr. Forney reported on comparative health plan
rates: our HMO plan, Public Health Trust and Municipal Health
Trust. The International Medical Centers HMO, our present
carrier, provided the lowest rates for both single and dependent
coverage. It was agreed to continue with IMC -HMO.
