Village Board Transmittal Memorandum
DATE: December 5, 2002
SUBJECT: Water Rate Increase
FROM: Darrell Langlois �Nl
RECOMMENDATION: That the Village Board approve the attached ordinance increasing the
monthly service charge for water service from $5.00 per month to $7.00
per month effective January 1, 2003.
At the Village Board meeting on November 26, 2002, authorization was given to proceed with an
automated meter reading program due to NICOR no longer being interested in reading the Village's
water meters. Although the initial cost is substantial ($1.2 million), the Water Fund is in the financial
position to be able to absorb this large capital outlay and still maintain an appropriate cash reserve.
In order to begin to recover the cost of this large capital outlay over approximately 10 years, the 2003 -
2007 Five -Year Financial Plan and 2003 Budget proposed an increase in the monthly service charge for
water from $5.00 to $7.00. Traditionally, the service charge component of the Village's water rate
structure has been used to recover the cost of meter reading and billing since these activities have
nothing to do with the amount of water consumed. For this reason staff is recommending adjusting the
monthly service charge and not the consumption rate.
Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Trustee Craig stated he is against increasing the water rates because he
disagreed with the purchase of the water meters and will vote no as he
feels it is not a good time to make this type of expenditure.

3) RESOLUTION 2002 - SAP -EX2 -R -822, "A RESOLUTION RES 02- SAP - EX2 -R-
822 APRV SAL PLN
APPROVING THE SALARY PLAN AND SALARY & SAL ADMN POL -
ADMINISTRATION POLICY FOR NON - REPRESENTED NON -REPR EMPLYS
EMPLOYEES FOR 2003" 2003
The Village's Salary Administration Policy provides for pay ranges to
be adjusted as of each January 1 with due consideration given to the
change in the Chicago -Gary -Lake County "All Items" Consumer Price
Index ( "CPI ") for the twelve months ending on the preceding September
30, the Employment Cost Index for Wages & Salaries ( "ECI ") published
for the third quarter, and the pay practices of the municipalities
established through collective bargaining as the Village's "labor
comparables." The Salary Administration Policy also provides that the
Salary Plan be further monitored by means of a consultant pay and
classification study on a triennial basis. The most recent such review
was completed in 2000 and implemented in 2001. That review
consisted of both an internal assessment of job responsibilities relative
to pay and an external market wage survey using the comparable
communities that were identified in the 1997 arbitration proceeding
involving the Village and Teamsters Local 714 — Law Enforcement
Division.
The CPI, ECI and pay practices of the labor comparables were all
considered in developing a recommended 3.5 percent adjustment to all
pay grades for 2003. Although the September CPI was only 1.3 percent,
the ECI for wages and salaries applicable for State and local government
employees was 2.5 percent higher at 3.8. Additionally, the average May
19 2002 range adjustment among the Village's labor comparables was
3.51 percent.
Motion by Trustee Caleel, seconded by Trustee Aktipis, that the Village
Board approve Resolution 2002 - SAP -EX2 -R -822, "A Resolution
Approving the Salary Plan and Salary Administration Policy for Non -
Represented Employees for 2003." ROLL CALL VOTE.
