PUBLIC HEARING: 2008/2009 APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE Director of Finance Black stated the City annually prepares and passes an appropriation ordinance which provides the legal authority under state statute to allocate funds for specific spending activities. The appropriation ordinance must be adopted no later than the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year (July 31s). The ordinance establishes the City's legal spending limit for the fiscal year. Director Black stated notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Northwest Herald on June 9, 2008. Within thirty days of its adoption, a certified copy of the appropriation ordinance must be filed with the County Clerk. Mayor Low opened the Public Hearing for consideration of the 2008/2009 Appropriation Ordinance. Alderman Murgatroyd stated the consideration and adoption of the appropriation ordinance is a yearly requirement to provide limits for the City's annual budget. Alderman Murgatroyd stated he was happy with the 2008/2009 budget which was approved by Council at its Annual Meeting in April. In response to Mayor Loves inquiry there were no comments from the audience with regard to the matter.

June 30, 2008 Page 2 PUBLIC INPUT SESSION — 10 MINUTE LIMITATION Steve Davidson, a representative of the Local 150 Union, addressed Council. Mr. Davidson stated the Union represents more than 90 different groups. Local 150 is asking the City's cooperation, noting Union membership generally reports the following: 1) 25% achieve excellent relationship with their employers; 2) 70% lodge a grievance every 4-5 years; 3) 5-6% consistently lodge grievances with their employers — the City of McHenry falls into this category. Mr. Davidson stated the Union represents 22,000 members. It is the Union's position the City is making things difficult by causing retaliation for grievances lodged by the Union. It is also the Union's position the City should work with Local 150 to improve morale and productivity of its members.
