Village of Bartlett Committee of the Whole met Oct. 6.

Here is the minutes provided by the committee:

1. CALL TO ORDER

President Wallace called the Committee of the Whole meeting to order at 7:59 p.m.

PRESENT: Chairmen Carbonaro, Deyne, Gandsey, Hopkins, Reinke and President Wallace

ABSENT: None

ALSO PRESENT: Village Administrator Paula Schumacher, Assistant Village Administrator Scott Skrycki, Sr. Management Analyst Samuel Hughes, Management Analyst Joey Dienberg, Finance Director Todd Dowden, Director of Public Works Dan Dinges, Planning & Development Director Roberta Grill, Building Director Brian Goralski, Food and Beverage Manager Paul Petersen, Police Chief Patrick Ullrich, Deputy Chief Durbin, Village Attorney Bryan Mraz and Village Clerk Lorna Giless.

BUILDING & ZONING, CHAIRMAN REINKE

RANA Cold Storage-Site Plan Amendment/Variation

Chairman Reinke stated there was a petition from Rana Pasta, a site plan amendment to construct 48 docks and a new curb cut. It looks like Rana purchased the building next door because they are expanding their business line and this will help them with the number of docks they need.

Planning and Development Services Director, Roberta Grill stated that they are asking for a Site Plan Amendment which normally staff can review administratively, but because the docks are located in the corner side yard, it requires a variation request and the Village Board and Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) have to approve it.

The item was forwarded on to the ZBA for further review.

FINANCE & GOLF, CHAIRMAN DEYNE

Proposed 2020 Property Tax levy

Chairman Deyne stated Todd Dowden, the Finance Director will present the agenda item.

Mr. Dowden made a presentation on the proposed 2020 property tax levy, “presentation attached”.

President Wallace asked what the assumed rate of return was on the Police Pensions.

Mr. Dowden stated that it is at 7% right now. The Police Pension Board would like to take it down to 6.5%. Staff did not reduce it another 1/8% again this year. That would increase the levy about $100,000. The pension consolidation that is going on will consolidate investments in the next few years and will hopefully help the pension fund see better return and mirror IMRF.

President Wallace confirmed that the increase in EAV’s in Cook County has shifted more of the tax burden to Cook County.

Mr. Dowden stated that was correct and the village does not calculate EAV’s, Illinois calculates the EAV’s for towns located in multiple counties.

Chairman Deyne moved to adjourn and that motion was seconded by Chairman Gandsey.

ROLL CALL VOTE TO ADJOURN

AYES: Chairmen Carbonaro, Deyne, Gandsey, Hopkins, Reinke

NAYS: None

ABSENT: None
