3/6/89
Trustee Mathias introduced and read a proposed resolution in RESOLUTION #89-12
support of the School District 21 Education Fund referendum; (School District
he thinks that this resolution should be sent to all 21)
Villages in School District 21 asking that they also pass
resolutions in support of this referendum.
Moved byMathias, seconded byMarienthal, to pass Resolution
#89-12, in support of the School District 21 Education Fund.
Barrett Peterson, President of the District 21 Board, stated
that the District would appreciate the support of the
Village. The District would have to take drastic fiscal
measures if this referendum does not pass.
Trustee Reid strongly urged the passage of the proposed
resolution and he strongly urged the "YES" vote of everyone
eligible to vote in the District 21 referendum. He stated
that, in his position as a school administrator, he knows
that the quality of education directly affects the property
values; he believes that District 21 has made good use of
their tax dollars, and that when they ask for a referendum,
he has every confidence that the money will be wisely used.
As a homeowner in the district, he wants to maintain the
value of his home, and he knows that the way to do that is
to make sure that there is a quality school system.
Trustee Glover personally supports quality education, but he
has mixed emotions with this coming before the Village
Board. He would hope that the community overall will
support this referendum, but as a vote of the Village Board,
he would be voting for residents who are not residents of
District 21. He does not believe the Village Board should
be in a position of supporting other taxing bodies. This
particular issue is very clear-cut, and if he lived in
District 21, he would go on record as voting "YES" on this
referendum. He believes every member of the Board is in
favor of this referendum and would be happy to personally
support this referendum, but he feels awkward representing
the entire Village of Buffalo Grove through a Board vote.
He believes the Trustees are elected to represent the entire
Village, and not just a postion. He is concerned with
setting a precedent, although he personally endorses the
referendum and would hope that everyone would support it.
Trustee Shifrin also has mixed emotions - he agrees entirely
with what Trustee Glover has said; he is strongly in favor
of education. He would encourage all residents of School
District 21 to support the referendum, and would also
encourage residents of School District 102 to support their
referendum. On the other hand, he agrees with Trustee
Glover with regard to one taxing body telling voters of
another taxing body how to vote.
7606
3/6/89
Trustee Mathias stated that he thinks that is a cop-out; he
thinks the Trustees are Village leaders and are elected to
decide what is in the best interest of the Village, and he
thinks this referendum is in the best interest of the
Village.
Trustee Marienthal stated that he agrees with Trustees
Glover and Shifrin; he believes that each taxing body is to
stay within their own pervue, although he would encourage
everyone to go out and vote and become well informed and
make a well-informed vote.
Trustee Reid stated that, if the quality of education in
part of Buffalo Grove fails, that reputation will affect the
entire community. As a community, the Board is taking a
stand that directly affects the reputation and the standing
of the entire community.
After further discussion, Trustees voted as follows on the
motion:
AYES: 2 - Reid, Mathias
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSTAIN: 3 - Marienthal, Glover, Shifrin
ABSENT: 1 - Shields
Mr. Raysa stated that, although abstentions normally count
with the majority, since there are only two affirmative
votes out of a possible six, he does not believe that rule
would be true in this instance, therefore, the motion is
defeated.
President Clayton pointed out that, even though the
resolution failed, it does not mean that the Board is
opposed to the referendum, but it means that the Board is
reluctant to take a position as a whole on the referendum.
NOTE: At a later time in the meeting, Mr. Raysa changed his
opinion with regard to the abstentions, determining that
they would count with the majority, thereby concluding that
the vote on the resolution would pass.
Mr. Balling reported on the Village Campus, requesting an MUNICIPAL CAMPUS
additional $70,000 in total contingency fund authorization to
cover several electrical problems, bringing the contingency
to 5% of the total budget for this project.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Glover, to authorize an
additional $70,000 in the contingency fund for the Municipal
