Martens RECOMMENDATION: That the Village Board pass the attached Resolution 'authorizing the sale of surplus public real estate (Lots 1 and 2 in the Sports Core/Westchester Park Subdivision.) Pursuant to your direction, I have drafted the attached Resolution, which once again declares Lots 1 and 2 in the Sports Core /Westchester Park Subdivision as surplus public real estate. This Resolution provides that the Village will receive sealed offers to purchase each of these lots at not less than the appraised value, which is $660,000.00 for Lot 1 and $560,000.00 for Lot 2. I have .provided that offers to enter into a real estate sale contract are due by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25, 2003. We anticipate preparing a "Profile Sheet" for each of these lots and circulating the Profile Sheets among local realtors. At last month's opening, the highest offers to purchase Lot 3 were submitted by realtors. You will note that cooperating realtors receive a commission in the amount of 2.5 %. In this way, we hope to improve the marketability of these two remaining lots. Please be aware that the corporate authorities by a two - thirds (2/3) vote may accept any offer embodied in a real estate sale contract which is determined by them to meet the appraised value of the subject property and to be in the best interests of the Village. State statute provides that the corporate authorities) may accept an offer which is eighty percent (80 %) of the appraised value; pursuant to your direction, the attached Resolution provides that the corporate authorities will not accept any offer for less than the appraised value. The corporate authorities reserve the right to reject any and all offers. I understand that you will consider this matter at your regular meeting on Tuesday, April 8, 2003. I have also! attached a form of real estate sale contract for your information. WORDDOC /BOARD MEMOS/LOTS 1 AND 2 .� 4Z 8 B. 1) The total appropriation for the Police Pension Fund is to be increased by $96,915 The primary cause of the increase is that a nine -year police officer left Village employment and took a position with another police department. As allowed under State statutes, he elected to transfer his service credit to the new department. This requires transfer of the accumulated contributions of the officer, interest on the contributions (a normal refund does not include interest), and the required Village matching of both the contributions and interest. The service credit transfer is rare (this was the first for Oak Brook) since there is usually a significant actuarial shortfall that the transferring officer is required to pay. For this reason we do not budget for these potential events and instead would adjust the budget accordingly if one was to occur. Trustee Korin inquired of the $84,675 cost in overtime in the Fire Department. Chief Jarvis explained that two employees have been off of work for an extended period of time and staff has had to cover their hours. Trustee Korn asked if contract paramedics could be used to lessen the cost of overtime. Manager Boehm stated that staff will review this further as the Village is in contract negotiations with the firefighters at this time. Motion by Trustee Caleel, seconded by Trustee Korin, that the Village Board approve Ordinance 2003- BU -EXI -S -1034, "An Ordinance Authorizing Transfers Among Budget Line Items" authorizing transfers among budget line items for the year ended December 31, 2002. ROLL CALL VOTE: Ayes 6 - Trustees Aktipis, Caleel, Craig, Korn, Miologos and Savino. Nays. 0 - None. Absent. 0 - None.
