VILLAGE CLERK’S REPORT  

Village Clerk Martin announced future meetings.  

STAFF REPORTS:  

ADMINISTRATION: 

Mr. Schloneger:  

Cleanup and restoration from the January 15th sprinkler pipe burst in the boardroom is ongoing. We are  receiving quotes to convert the attic and first floor sprinkler system to an anti-freeze system which will  prevent this from happening again. In addition to the boardroom, water made its way behind walls and through conduits, etc. into the PD below, despite a quick response in turning off the water and shop vacuuming up all standing water. Drywall, carpet, chairs, lockers and other amenities are being  replaced. In some places we are building back better – as some of the fixtures were original to the building  in 1995 and needed upgrading anyway. Not all work will be covered by insurance. Furthermore, we continue to have roof leaks and ice dam buildups during heavy winds and snows. We will also be  investigating the roof and the ice and water shields to determine what works needs to be done.  

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: 

Mr. Knapp:  

No Report  

POLICE DEPARTMENT:  

Deputy Chief Markham:

There will be a Special Olympics event 5:00pm this Thursday at Jacobs High School.  

PUBLIC WORKS:  

Mr. Badran: 

Announced the Presidential Park bids are being reviewed, and bid for Willoughby Farms will be next week.  

CORRESPONDENCE: 

None  

OLD BUSINESS:  

Trustee Glogowski updated the Board, that the last meeting of the NWPAA (Northwest Planning Area  Alliance) Executive Committee, had updated By-Laws with changes to quorum count, designated alternate(s) and Finance Committee established. Counties currently covered are Lake,  McHenry, Kane, Kendall, and Dekalb. With foreseeable future counties of Will and Kankakee. 

EXECUTIVE SESSION:  

None  

NEW BUSINESS:  

Trustee Glogowski explained that last fall, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) released their Plan of Action for Regional Transit (PART) report to address the $730 million transit deficit that will occur in 2026. In the PART report, recommendations to address the budget shortfall, as well as governance options, were outlined. The MCCG reviewed the report and has concerns that, as a result of being a transit donor county via the RTA sales tax (we get little service for the amount we contribute), any  increase in RTA sales tax will go directly to bail out the CTA. Additionally, with the governance  recommendations, we are very concerned that collar counties involvement on the RTA, Metra and Pace  Boards could be diminished. Currently, McHenry County has a seat on all three boards. Any change to the governance structure could diminish McHenry County's voice in regional transit. It is important that a  member of the CMAP region, McHenry County maintains active on these boards to monitor transit funding  and potential tax increases. 

A. Pass a Resolution (2024-R-08) Accepting an Approving an Agreement with Bredemann Ford in Glenview for the Purchase of a 2023 Ford F-150 Vehicle in the amount of $47,931.03  Moved by Auger, seconded by Brehmer to approve an Agreement with Bredemann Ford in Glenview for  the Purchase of a 2023 Ford F-150 Vehicle in the amount of $47,931.03

Roll call vote; voting aye – Trustees Dianis, Glogowski, Auger, Brehmer, Smith Absent-Spella
