Trustee Hopkins stated that with the ever-rising water and sewer rates, it doesn’t seem like they will be coming down anytime soon and he knew that a lot of it is due to the Lake Michigan water transition. Is there a way for staff to look at other ways of funding water and sewer besides user fees. Perhaps taking money from other funds to pay for debt services on those particular funds. He asked to talk about this at a future Committee meeting.
President Wallace suggested bringing this up at strategic planning this weekend.
Trustee Gabrenya stated that one of the items on consent this evening was an agreement between the Village of Bartlett and Bartlett Rotary. The Rotary Club has committed to installing a clock in the Town Center and it is something that many of their proud rotarian members have been working on for quite some time. They have dedicated a lot of time and energy in fundraising efforts to bring this beautiful clock into the Town Center. This is going to be a traditional Rotary clock façade as seen in many other communities around the world. She was proud that the Village allowed them to put this beautiful clock in the Town Center.
President Wallace asked if they should let the public know if there are any additional spaces available.
Suzy Sias on behalf of the Bartlett Rotary Club stated that the clock will have some plaques on the sides of it and they are selling space where people can put their names. They are $250 for a smaller spot and $1,000 for a larger one. They are still offering the first rights to Rotary and they expect to roll it out to the public soon.
Trustee Gabrenya stated that it is a lovely way to memorialize your family or your business with the community and they expect the clock to be standing for a very long time. She thanked Rotary and the Village for their efforts.
President Wallace stated that the clock will be located near the fountain in the Town Center and will be approximately sixteen feet tall.
