He encouraged interested parties to explore the District 156 website at www.dist156.org Dr. William Dodds, Superintendent of Elementary School District 15, addressed Council emphasizing the importance of a working partnership with the city, mentioning specifically the Garden Quarter Resource Center.

Dr. Dodds informed Council that test scores are going up and Hilltop and Landmark Schools have made significant gains in reading and math skills this past year. He noted that all five District 15 "Odyssey of the Mind" teams placed in either first or second place in the competition, and all have been invited to the world competition in Maryland. Dr. Dodds stated that there are approximately 4,700 students in District 15 schools. He noted the quest for a referendum continues in an effort to raise funds for education and suggested parties interested in additional information visit the website at www.dl5.org. Dr. Dodds informed Council of the selection of a new Superintendent of Schools for District 15. Dr. Alan Hoffman of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin will begin his employment with District 15 on July 1, 2004. Wayne Amore, Chief of the McHenry Township Fire Protection District, thanked the City of McHenry, and in particular the Police Department and Dispatch. He acknowledged the department's appreciation for the availability of access to the Knox farmhouse building on Green Street for use as a training facility. Chief Amore informed Council that the call volume increased 14% from 3,286 calls in 2002 to 3,750 calls during 2003. Chief Amore stated that in an effort to keep equipment up to date and to current standards in 2003, the District recently purchased a 2003 Ford Ambulance, a new high-pressure tank and pump for the grass fire truck, and a new Dodge April 26 2004 Page 5 Caravan for the Fire Prevention Bureau. With the assistance of a federal grant, the district was able to purchase sixty-nine new air packs. The grant funded 90% of the purchase price of the packs and the balance was paid by the district. Chief Amore noted a second grant was received in the fall of 2003 in the amount of$231,795 to replace ageing turn-out gear, boots and helmets, which will be purchased in 2004. Chief Amore stated Firefighter/Paramedic Jim Amos has been awarded McHenry Township Fire Protection District's 2003 Firefighter of the Year Award and would receive the Medal of Valor from the State Fire Marshal at a ceremony held in Springfield for his rescue of a 10-year old girl from a house fire.

FISCAL YEAR 2004/2005 ANNUAL BUDGET City Administrator Maxeiner announced that in early March Staff distributed to the Council the departmental budget requests for the General Fund for Fiscal Year 2004/2005. The requests amounted to over $16 million. When combined with the remaining funds, both operating and non-operating, the total budget request amounted to $64,845,321. The Finance and Personnel Committee has since met on two occasions to review the requests and examine Staffs recommendations for adjustments. The final recommendation for the proposed 2004/2005 Budget totals $57,086,152 for all funds and $14,325,873 for the General Fund. City Administrator Maxeiner noted, after discounting interfund transfers, the net budget totals $46,388,726. City Administrator Maxeiner stated the development of the budget for 2004/2005 presented a considerable challenge. He noted that while growth of the community places a greater demand upon City services, revenues continue to lag behind the growth curve. City Administrator Maxeiner stated that no new taxes or increases in existing taxes are proposed for the General Fund for the current year, however Staff is recommending a thorough examination of user fees, such as building permits and parks and recreation fees. City Administrator Maxeiner informed Council that while the General Fund is financially strong, the Water and Sewer Fund is not. In Staffs opinion, without some adjustments the Water and Sewer Fund would not be in a position to continue to move forward. Staff proposes a modest rate increase to cut the operating deficit in half. Following implementation of the rate increase, at the end of the fiscal year, Staff would �- assess the Fund to determine if the initial rate adjustment is adequate or if additional adjustments are required. April 26 2004 Page 6 Staff recommends the following: • Approval of the 2004/2005 Budget, as presented; and • Approval of a rate increase of$0.09 per 1,000 gallons of water and $0.14 per 1,000 gallons for sewer, and to direct Staff to prepare the Ordinances for implementation of the rate increases, effective July 1, 2004. Responding to Alderman Glab's concerns City Administrator Maxeiner stated some salaries have been taken from the Water/Sewer Fund for the last four years. He noted there are many costs, which should be attributable to the Water/Sewer Fund, that are currently not. Alderman Glab voiced concern regarding possible additional water and sewer rate increases following Fiscal Year 2004/2005. City Administrator Maxeiner reiterated Staff s suggestion regarding a re-assessment of the Fund to determine if the initial rate-adjustment is adequate or if additional adjustments are required at the end of the fiscal year. A discussion ensued. Alderman Condon complimented Staff and the Finance and Personnel Committee. She opined the 2004/2005 Budget was easy to understand and comprehend. Motion by Murgatroyd, seconded by Wimmer, to approve the Fiscal Year 2004/2005 Budget, as presented. Voting Aye: Low, Murgatroyd, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: Glab, Absent: Bolger. Motion carried. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Murgatroyd, to approve an increase in water/sewer rates as follows, effective July 1, 2004, and directing Staff to re-assess the Water Sewer Fund, to determine if the initial rate adjustment is adequate or if additional adjustments are required, at the end of the fiscal year: • A rate increase of$0.09 per 1,000 gallons of water; • A rate increase of$0.14 per 1,000 gallons for sewer; and • Directing Staff to prepare the Ordinances for implementation, effective July 1, 2004.
