CITY COUNCIL MEETING

NOVEMBER 17, 2008       7:02 P.M.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       I’d like to call the meeting to order please.  I’d like to ask Reverend Turner from Caldwell Chapel to come forward and open our meeting with a prayer.

 

REV. TURNER:           Good evening.  I’d like to wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving and don’t overeat and remember it’s a sin to do that.  Let’s bow our heads for a moment of prayer.  Most gracious and heavenly Father, Lord we thank You for this opportunity that You’ve given us once again to come together to carry out the City and the County’s business.  Father, be with us as we hold this meeting tonight.  Bless this nation as a whole, Father, for we are going through trying times.  Come with us, be with us as we hold this meeting.  In the name of Jesus we pray.  Amen.

MAYOR GREEN:       Thank you.  Now, we’re going to have a short presentation.  These are some gentlemen from District 111 and they’re doing a project on energy.  And, they’ve asked if they could do a short presentation to the City Council as they’re going to be presenting this project for the national organization.  Is that correct? 

 

TEAM MEMBER:       Yes.

MAYOR GREEN:       So, the Floor is yours, gentlemen.  Go ahead.  Can you use the microphone behind you and then everybody can hear you?  Just pull it down right there.  Now go ahead.  Okay.

 

ALEX KIM:     Hello.  Thank you.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       It’s on.

 

ALEX KIM:     Hello, thank you for letting us be here.  My name is Alex Kim.

 

AUSTIN KOENIG:     Hello.  My name is Austin Koenig.

 

DANIEL KIM:            My name is Daniel Kim.

 

DREW CRAWFORD-WHEELER:     My name is Drew Crawford-Wheeler.

 

JAMES PENTUIC:      My name is James Pentuic.

 

TEAM: We used Photo Story Three to make this presentation.  Feel free to ask any questions after the presentation.  After this presentation we would like you to sign the energy pledge which we will go into further details afterward.  We hope you will enjoy this presentation and learn a lot so you can help use energy efficiently. 

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Would it help if we turned off these lights up front for you?

 

TEAM: indistinguishable Everything in the world requires energy.  If there was no energy, there would be no existence of anything ever.   indistinguishable   These are nonrenewable energy.  They can only be used for one thing and never used again.  With your help to use energy-efficient indistinguishable save the planet.  There are many sources of energy.  Some are renewable, but others are non-renewable.  We use nonrenewable sources more than renewable sources.  The non-renewable sources are coal, propane, uranium, petroleum and natural gas.  These pollute our planet and will run out eventually.  Renewable sources are geothermal, hydro power, solar, bio indistinguishable and wind.  None of these sources pollute our planet, but some change the environment.  But, that is little worry compared to the nonrenewables.  If the world changes, most of our energy to renewable sources, then there will not be as much pollution and global climate change will slow down.  This graph shows that the U.S. uses one-fourth of the whole world’s energy.  There are 195 countries in the world.  That’s like $100.00 split between 195 people and one person gets $25.00.  If everyone else got an even amount of money, everyone would get 39˘.  We can lower the energy we use with just some tiny changes in our daily usage.  A large amount of energy indistinguishable.   That amount can be lowered with just some small changes.  If you’re buying a new appliance, look for the Energy Star label.  This label means that the appliance uses less energy than others.  indistinguishable   To change energy in lighting, we can change our bad incandescent light bulbs to compact florescents.  Incandescent bulbs use nine times the energy used in compact florescents.  Florescents are better than incandescents because incandescents last about six months and florescents last up to ten years.  You save much more money and energy by using florescents.  Don’t be afraid of the mercury in florescents indistinguishable   will not indistinguishable.  This graph shows how much money you can save on your energy bill.  In the first and second columns, you can see that if you change 25% of your incandescent bulbs to florescent, you will save half on your bill.  In the third column, you can see that if you take the time to patch the air spaces that are in your insulation and roofing, you will save another 10%.  These are our sources where we got all our information.  Any questions?

 

ALDERMAN HUNTER:         How long did it take you to put this package together?

 

TEAM MEMB ER:      About four weeks–I mean three weeks–two weeks.

 

ATTORNEY BOHLEN:          They just saved energy.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Tell me what you’re going to do next with this project.  Where does it go now?

 

TEAM MEMBER:       We’re going to send it to the National Youth Awards for Energy Education.  And, then we’re going to do this for a trip to Washington, D.C.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Now, do you have to accompany this program to Washington, D.C.?  Or, do you just send it?

 

TEAM MEMBER:       We don’t really know.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Well, they’re being truthful.  Maybe your teacher can help you a little bit here.

 

TEAM MEMBER:       We present it during the trip.

 

CONSTANCE BEATTY:        They will do.........send this as well as a scrapbook of all the things that we do for energy this year.  And, it will be sent to the Washington, D.C., the national level.  Kids from all over the United States submit projects and then they are judged.  We have the chance to win the intermediate category this year.  We will do other activities as well.  There are groups of these kids going to Kiwanis and Rotary and the School Board and other places.  If you know of anyone that would like a presentation like this, we have five groups that are going out doing these.  Kennedy has come in runner-up the last two years.  We’re working on trying to win this year.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       When will you know if you’ve won because, ah, that’s when you’ll.....then you’ll need a source of funds to go?  Is that correct?

 

CONSTANCE BEATTY:        That’s true.  We’re doing fundraising as we speak.  We are just finishing up a Compact Florescent Fundraiser.  We will find out in late May, so the kids are raising money to go.  It’ll be between $800 and $1,000.00 per child to go.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Tell us a little bit more about what’s the Compact Florescent Fundraiser?

 

CONSTANCE BEATTY:        Ah, we had bulbs for sale.  This is with the Change A Light Program which is underwritten by both the state and the federal level.  Light bulbs were for sale at a very low cost for those compact florescents.  We had a three-pack for $4.00.  They had Christmas lights as well as reflector lights, three-ways bulbs, dimmers–which are brand new–and these are Energy Star label bulbs and they were really a good deal.  And, we get a good amount of profit from them.  If we can find out that we can extend that fundraiser, ah, we would let the City Council know again.  But, as of right now, we’re done.  We finished it.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Okay.  Anybody else?  Alderman Williams.

 

ALDERMAN WILLIAMS:     Do you have any handouts they can pass out?

 

CONSTANCE BEATTY:        We do have the Change A Light Pledge that the boys will bring around.  We have said that our goal is to get 200 pledges.  And, that’s part of our presentation that we’ll be sending to the national level as well.  If you pledge to change one incandescent for a compact florescent, we’ll–that will count toward our pledge.  And, if we can get more than 200 that should  just boost our chances of winning, as well.  So, we would love to have you sign those pledges.  You can go online and sign it, but please give us credit.  There’s a drop-down box that says Kennedy Middle Grade School is one of the choices.  A lot of other organizations are doing it as well.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Do you have them to pass out tonight to us?

 

CONSTANCE BEATTY:        Yes, we would love to.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Why don’t you pass them out to the Aldermen and anybody in the audience, too?

 

CONSTANCE BEATTY:        That would be fine.  Thank you so much.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Thank you. 

 

TEAM MEMBER:       Once you have signed the Energy Pledge, please give it to our teacher, Mrs. Beatty, in the red.

 

TEAM MEMBER:       Thank you to all of you have and will sign the pledges.  This is for a project for the National Youth Awards for Energy Education in Washington, D.C.

 

TEAM MEMBER:       Thank you for letting us be here.

 

TEAM: Have a good night.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Thank you.  Thank you very much.  Thank you.  Okay.  We’ll continue on with the agenda.  There are no Petitions unless there are some from the Floor.  If there are none, then we’ll move to Communications.  Anjanita has one Communication here.

 

ATTORNEY BOHLEN:          You didn’t do the minutes.

 

ALDERMAN HUNTER:         The minutes.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Oh, I’m sorry.  I’ll come back to those.

 

ALDERMAN HUNTER:         Are there any corrections to the minutes as presented?  Any........

 

MAYOR GREEN:       We’re not there yet.

 

ALDERMAN SCHWADE:     Ah, I was just wondering if it did finish at 7:31 A.M.?

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Yes.

 

NANCY SMITHBERG:          Yes, it did.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       We had a long meeting.  You weren’t here.  It was a very, very long.......

 

ALDERMAN HUNTER:         Duly noted.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Her fingers were so tired she just hit the A instead of the P.

 

ALDERMAN HUNTER:         Ah, with that particular correction, I move the minutes be approved with the correction as indicated by Alderman Schwade.

 

ALDERMAN HEARN:           Second.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Is there a second?

 

ALDERMAN HEARN:           Second.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       All in favor, AYE.  Opposed, same sign. 

 

 

MOTION TO APPROVE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF  NOVEMBER 3, 2008

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Motion carries.  All right.  No Petitions.  Are there any from the Floor?  Hearing none, we’ll move into Communications.  Anjanita has one that she’d like to read please.

 

CLERK DUMAS:        During this Thanksgiving season, I am reflecting upon the many expressions of kindness and good will that were shown during the time of my illness and the passing of my sister, Margaret Dunigan.  Please know that I greatly appreciate all of the thoughtful deeds that you have done during this season.  From Alderman Brown and family.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Next, as you’ll notice under Communications, this is one of those things you do not like to receive.  We have a resignation from Cindy Fuerst, our librarian and I think there was an article in the newspaper tonight as well as on the radio stations about Cindy leaving us and going to the Vernon Hills Library System.  We only wish her the best of luck.  I’m sorry to lose her after her being here so many years and actually going through the growing pains of a new library.  But, she will do extremely well and we only wish her well.  But, we need to accept her resignation–with regret.

 

ALDERMAN HEARN:           So moved.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Motion by Alderman Hearn.  Is there a second?

 

ALDERMAN SWANSON:     Second.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       If there wasn’t any, we’d just die for lack of a second.  She’s gotta’ stay.  Second by Alderman Swanson.  All in favor, AYE.  Opposed, same sign. 

 

MOTION TO ACCEPT RESIGNATION OF CINDY FUERST, DIRECTOR

OF KANKAKEE  PUBLIC LIBRARY, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 23, 2009

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Motion carries.  Ah, we’ll move onto Standing Committees.  Public Safety. 

 

ALDERMAN HUNTER:         I’m just going to try to be real brief, but I think some of the documentation or the references in the minutes are quite outstanding.  Under the Fire Department, Chief Ron Young reported that there were 92 public education programs presented during the month of October and that’s quite substantial.  The Department’s second ambulance will be placed in service on–I guess it was–on November 8, and that will generate some additional revenue.  We won’t have to give away ambulance calls.  Under the Police Department, overall, crime rate is down 3.94%–almost 4%–and I think you guys have read in the paper recently– knock on formica–no homicides thus far.  Additionally, there were 805 community service hours logged and there were 935 hours associated with inmates.  So, Public Works is on the job in terms of coordinating those particular hours.  The rest of the stuff is self-explanatory.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Thank you.  License and Franchise.  Alderman Swanson.

 

ALDERMAN SWANSON:                 The information’s in the packet.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Budget.  Alderman Baron.

 

ALDERMAN BARON:           The first item involves the levy for 2008-2009.  Should we just deal with the Ordinances?

 

MAYOR GREEN:       You can.  If you want to do them.  It’s up to the board, however they want to handle it.

 

ALDERMAN BARON:           Well, the first item that we dealt with was recommending in a positive fashion to the Council that we approve the levy.  There are several levy Ordinances to deal with.  The major one is the general fund–the general property tax levy.  Attached to the Budget Committee minutes in our materials is a summary of the proposed 2008 property tax levy broken down item by item showing what increases are applicable.  The overall increase of the levy is 4.8%.  We don’t........the law requires that any levy that increases more than 5% from the year before has to go to public hearing.  But, we’re going to go public hearing anyway, even though it’s less than 5%.  You can see for yourself the major increases, the major increase.  One of the major components is Firefighters Pension and Police Pension which, of course, don’t have to give you a history about that.  Ah, the debt service is listed for the various bonds that we have over the years.  I–it requires approval by the final Tuesday in December, but we’re going to be asking for First Reading of the Ordinance tonight–the general Ordinance–and then all the various Special Service Areas.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       We’re going to ask for just all Ordinances to be put on the First Reading.  We will not vote on this levy until the second meeting in December because we are required to hold a public hearing and we have–Jim help me with the date.  I can’t remember.

 

JAMES SPICE:           I believe it’s December 12.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       December 12 will be the public hearing.  So, we will–on the 15th I think it is– that’s the City Council meeting that we’ll ask for final approval.

 


ALDERMAN BARON:           So, we’re through the explanation of it here.  I would move that we place the 2008 property tax levy for the City of Kankakee all corporate purposes on its First Reading. 

 

ALDERMAN HUNTER:         Second.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Motion by Alderman Baron, seconded by Alderman Hunter to place this levy on its First Reading.  Questions?  Roll call.

FIRST READING

ORDINANCE LEVYING PROPERTY TAXES FOR ALL CORPORATE PURPOSES

FOR THE CITY OF KANKAKEE, KANKAKEE COUNTY, ILLINOIS, FOR THE

FISCAL YEAR COMMENCING ON MAY 1, 2008, AND ENDING APRIL 30, 2009

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Motion carries. 

 

ALDERMAN BARON:           Ah, at the bottom of the summary sheet that was attached indistinguishable there are the amount of the special levies for the four  Special Service Areas that we’re requesting action on. 

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Yes.

 

ALDERMAN BARON:           The first one–just to summarize now.   Special Service Area Number One is downtown.  Special Service Area Number Two is Riverview Historic District.  Number Three is Coachlight Square and Number Five is the East Side/East Court Corridor.  The amounts of the levies are contained at the bottom........or are described at the bottom of the page and in our materials we have each of the Ordinances.  The Ordinance for Special Service Area Number Five was just handed out tonight.  So, I would move that we place the–we should do them each individually–I would move that we place Special Service Area Number One Levy for 2008-2009 on its First Reading.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       If the Council would agree, we could do One, Two, Three and Five as one motion.  If there’s not any disagreement.  That’s really–those individuals asking for that tax to be levied upon themselves anyway.  So, if they would agree, we could do that Mr. Chairman.

 

ALDERMAN BARON:           I would make that motion.

 

ALDERMAN HUNTER:         I’ll second it, Your Honor.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Motion by Alderman Baron, seconded by Alderman Honey.

 

ALDERMAN BARON:           We’ve done this before.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       We gotta’ quit doin’ this.  You know it’s time to go now.

 

ALDERMAN HUNTER:         Yes, dear.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Okay.  Thank you.  On its First Reading only.  Any questions?  I’m gonna’ be quiet.  Roll call.

MAYOR GREEN:       Motion carries. 

 

ALDERMAN BARON:           The next item on.........from the Budget Committee minutes involves the purchase of partitions in sleeping quarters for Fire Stations Four, Five and Six from Hansen’s Window Coverings in the amount of $5,950.00. We haven’t replaced those for quite some time and the recommendation from the Fire Department is that this is the appropriate sort of partitioning.  So, I would move that we authorize the expenditure of $5,950.00 for the purchase of these partitions and maybe somebody other than Steve should second it.

 

ALDERMAN LINNEMAN:    Second.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Motion by Alderman Baron, seconded by Alderman Linneman.  Any questions?  Roll call.

MOTION ALLOWING CITY COUNCIL TO AUTHORIZE THE FIRE

DEPARTMENT TO REPLACE SLEEPING QUARTERS PARTITIONS 

AT A COST OF $5,950.00 FROM HANSEN’S WINDOW COVERINGS

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Motion carries. 

 

ALDERMAN BARON:           The final item doesn’t require action, but just by way of information, the Fire Department, on an annual basis, includes a line item for replacement and upgrade of radios.  And, this year’s radios are 10 Motorola.  Chief Young asked for authorization to go to bid and it wasn’t recommended to do that.  It doesn’t involve expenditure of money so we don’t require Council approval.  Thank you.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Thank you.  Ah, next is the Report of Officers.

 

ALDERMAN WILLIAMS:     Move to approve the Report of Officers, place the money into the proper accounts and pay the bills in the amount of $280,339.48.

 

ALDERMAN CIACCIO:        Second.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       Motion by Alderman Williams, seconded by Alderman Ciaccio to approve the Report of Officers, pay the bills in the amount of $280,339.48.  Any questions  on any of the individual bills?  Roll call.  Alderman Schwade.

 

ALDERMAN SCHWADE:     Is that the insurance for the year?

 

MAYOR GREEN:       For what?

 

ALDERMAN SCHWADE:     Probably not. $176,000.00.

 

MAYOR GREEN:       That’s the monthly premium.  That doesn’t include the Utility.  The Utility adds about $19,000.00 to that.  Roll call.

MAYOR GREEN:       Motion carries.  Alderman Schwade, even though that number is shown, that’s........that includes the employees’ participation in that, too, in that number, so that’s not all a City expenditure.  Unfinished Business.  There is none.  New Business. 

 

ALDERMAN WILLIAMS:     Mayor Green.
