1/14/91
Lengthy discussion followed, with Board members stating that
the Village and the Park District should work together in
addressing the needs of the senior citizens; that the
Village should participate financially over the next several
years; that specific guidelines should be identified for the
commission; and that staff should provide the Board with
more details regarding financing.
Mr. Reiner stated that the Park District wants to address
this situation together; that the commission should identify
the senior needs, other than strictly leisure; that the
rooms will be used for senior citizen service only; and that
any remaining benefit that the Park District has left,
should the senior citizen program move elsewhere, will go
back to the Village.
Moved by O'Malley, seconded by Mathias, to instruct staff to
initiate steps to form a commission, it's make-up
organization already set forth in Mr. Szymborski's memo
of January 9, 1991, in paragraph 3 under recommendations;
that said commission should first form a mission statement,
recognize the needs of the seniors in the community, and
then make recommendations regarding financial contributions,
but no obligations regarding financial contributions, which
would be determined at a later date by this Board.
Mr. Balling clarified the financing. The Board expects to
have a reliable funding source to support their obligations,
and he wants to underscore his initial recommendation this
evening that that source has not been identified, and will
not likely be identified before Finance Committee hearings
in February. Staff had no intention of not meeting the
obligation regarding capital contributions, but the Board
should recognize that this service is one that would
represent a new and expanded service that is not presently
contemplated within our revenue structure, and would
require additional resources.
Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, Reid, Mathias, O'Malley, Kahn
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Shifrin
Motion declared carried.
Mr. Reiner asked for direction regarding the capital issues.
After further discussion, it was moved by Mathias, and
seconded by Kahn to transfer to the Park District the sum of
$10,000 per year for the next seven years as a capital
contribution to them from our unrestricted fund.
Trustee Reid stated that he will not support the motion
because he does not feel that we have the necessary staff

input at this time to make that decision; he believes staff
can be directed to bring back a recommendation regarding
that motion, but he thinks we are setting a very dangerous
precident to act favorable on that motion.
Mr. Balling stated that an audit has not been done on the
cost, but that staff can do an audit.
Mr. Reiner stated that the Park District will give the
direction to the commission when they draft up their papers
that, if there is a life left to the improvements the Park
District has made, and the property is vacated by the senior
citizen program, the Park District will make sure that money
goes back to the Village.
Trustee Mathias amended the motion to add the following:
"subject to any recapture if that portion of the building is
no longer used for senior citizen needs, and subject to an
audit by the Village staff."
Upon roll call, Trustees voted on the motion:
AYES: 4 - Marienthal, Mathias, O'Malley, Kahn
