On March 23, 1999, the Village Board tabled consideration of the
authorizing ordinance until the Village Attorney and bond counsel
could consult on its form and content. That has now occur and the
ordinance that would authorize issuance of $10,000,000 in GenaW
obligation alternate bonds is now being proposed. The financing plan
involves initial issuance of $5,000,000 and a possible subsequent
issue of up to another $5,000,000.
Section 1 of the ordinance states the uses to which the bond prods
could be put. Section 2 authorizes the bonds to be issued. Section 3
pledges sales tax receipts for payment of the bonds. Section 4 snakes
the necessary general obligation pledge. Section 5 sets up a priority
of payment. which, importantly. places other available funds of the
Village ahead of ad valorem taxes. Section 7 directs publication and
specifies the backdoor referendum provisions.
Passage of the authorizing ordinance would trigger publication of the
ordinance and notice of a public hearing, which would take place on
April 27, 1999. Publication of the authorizing ordinance also begins
the 30-day backdoor referendum period, which would end on May 17,
1999. The petition threshold is 7.5% of the registered voters, not
10% as earlier discussed (the 10 °re threshold applies in cis where
enterprise fund revenues am pledged for payment of the bonds). 'The
number of valid signatures required to prevent issuance without a
referendum would b` 44$.

Trustee Savino stated he would abstain from voting as he felt the
backdoor referendum process unsavory. and the Village would have
to pledge real estate taxes when the Village has funding available for
the capital improvements.
Trustee Shumate concurred with Trustee Savino's comments. He
stated the Five -Year Financial Plan of $6,500,000 in improvements
for the Village Hall and Fire Department has not been improved. He
requested a Committee -of- the -ale meeting so that residents could
speak to the issue.
Trustee McInerney agreed that all of the projects have not been
approved but initially the Village will offer $5,000,000 in general
obligation bonds. He noted sales tax revenue has decreased, and he is
concerned with what may occur in Washington. The agenda of the
cities is not being met in the National League of Cities. 7'hhere may be
a live -year moratorium on the ability to tax.
President Bushy suggested offering a Monday night meeting end
Saturday workshop to discuss the bond issue and stated petitions
against the proposal will be available at those meetings.
Village Manager Veitch explained ftt this is a finance proceN d*t is

At the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting of Larch 2, 1999, it was
noted that curbing costs is a financial burden for the Park District that
would be passed onto the taxpayer. The estimated cost of $60,000 to
install the curb is public monies which could be used for a better
public service.

The Village of Oak IJmok is in rcocipt of the Federal
Communications Commission Form 394 containing information
intended to establish the technical, legal and financial qualifications
of TCI for %king ownership of the existing cable television franchise
from MediaOne. When TCI decided to reorganize its cable sygxm
nationally, it determined that the Chicago metropolitan area would be
one of its prime markets. Lengthy negotiations between MediaOnc
and TC I resulted in an asset exchange agreement that would cause
TCI's south Florida properties and some in California to be
exchanged for all MediaOne systems in the Chicago area and some in
Michigan.
The franchising authorities in the affected communities are charged
with reviewing the FCC Form 3► M to determine whether TO is
technically, legally and financially able to operate the cabie syystem.
The ability to deny such transfer on any of these three bans is
extremely limited. Because the "I'C'I deal affects a vast majority of
area municipalities (MediaOne. Multimedia. Time Warner and Jones
systems are all affected), Du.Fage Mayors and Managers and the other
Councils of Government formed a consortium to obtain expert
consulting at a very reasonable cost. As a result, Dr. Barry Orton and
Stuart Chapman were hired to conduct the technical. legal and
financial review for all affected communities.

In mid-1"8 while the TCl/MediaOne exchange was moving to its
inevitable conclusion, AT&T began proceedings to acquire TCI. The
consortium consultants and many others affected by the
TCl/MediaOne exchange viewed this as a positive development. since
AT &T indicated that it would require TCl to provide high quality
cable infrastructure and service. Additionally. AT&T is believed to
have significantly greater resources to devote to cable television

The Village Board, at the Regular meeting of January 26, 1999,
directed staff to investigate various whirlpool options for the Bath
and Tennis Club. Following considerable research, Bath and Tennis
Club Manager Sartore is recommending the purchase of a commercial
therapy whirlpool by Wave Length. Amnng various features of this
pool is a "training" capability that affords adults privacy for lap
swimming, which is presently difficult to offer in the main pool.
Other features were noted in the spec sheet and brochure attached to
Purchasing ®iavctor Kapfl s memorandum dated April 7,1999.
The selected wave Length whirlpool is only distributed in this area by
TurboTubs of Naperville. As such, there is no reason to advertise for
bids. Th+e estimated delivery time is flour weeks" which ;should give
staff adequate time to have the whirlpool installed (by a separate
contractor) before the pool season begins. Funds in the amount of
$30,000 are in the Sports Care ltnprovenwnts Progmm (52 -841) for
this project.

The Village Board, at its September 22, 1998 meeting, mjected bids
for this project and authorized staid to ,re-bid ihe project to wide
more flexibility in permitted manufacturers. .Revised bid packages
were picked up by four (4) companies. One (1) sealed bid was
received on Febma y 24, 1999. Reasons for other vendors not
bidding were time constraints, could not be competitive in pricing
and did not have enough time to bid.
The same firm,, Bartlett heating and Air Conditioning, Inc., was the
low bidder in the prior letting. This bid is approximately $20,000
higher than the prior bid. The difference is accounted for by
substitution of higher quality equipment as well as an intet°ventng
increase in labor rates. Even so, this bid is well below all other bids
received in the first letting, and will produce a result more consistent
with the original specifications.
Due to weather constr lints, work on this project will begin after May
1. 1999. Sufficient funds are available in the Municipal Building
Improvements program budget (42 1) to cover the cost of this project.
Motion by Trustee Savino, seconded by Trustee Kenny, to award a
contract, subject to staff` review. to Bartlett heating and Air
Conditioning, Inc., Mt. Prospect, the lowest responsible bidder® to

Regulation of ta-Xi service in the Village began in 1982 with the
licensing of American Taxi as the sole taxi company authorized to
originate trips in the Village. There was established at that time a
limitation on the number of licensed cabs* which was irtc
several times over the years in response to requests from the congmy
and support from the hotels.
In 1996,, the Village revamped its approach to taxi regulation, The
new ordinance authorized taxi company licenses and taxi driver
licenses (tee had been no licensing requirement for drivers or
investigation of driver backgrounds under the prior ordirumm)
without limit as to number. The company licensing process involves
registration of vehicles to be operated in the Village, which provides
the mans of inspecting and qualifying the cabs themselves. °The
Village elected to retain an aggregate limit on the number of cabs that
could be registered. That limit has since been raised two more tunes
as additional taxi companies have become licensed.
