(QECB) in the amount of $13M to conduct the Village electrical project and stated he
looks forward to working with the Village.
B. GFOA Award
President Lalmalani presented Finance Director Dangles with the Government Finance
Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) Certificate of Achievement
for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. This
was the 33`d consecutive year that the Village has achieved this prestigious award. He
congratulated Finance Director Dangles and the Finance Department for the excellent work
they do.
President Lalmalani reported that Margaret "Peg" Coffin passed away just before the new
year. She was a significant person in the 1960's in Oak Brook when the Village was being

VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK MINUTES Page 1 of 12 REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 14, 2014
President Lalmalani announced that the Village Board approved a 5 year contract with the
Public Works Union Local 150. The contract is retroactive to January 1, 2013 and expires
December 31, 2017. He stated that he supports the contract and the thorough manner in
which the Village Board reviewed the contract. He stated that the Village will be paying
average wage increases of 1% for the next 5 years. He briefly discussed terms of the
agreement, notably, that Public Works employees will no longer be in the Village's health
insurance plan but instead be covered by the union's insurance plan. He also stated that
while there will be a slight increase in insurance costs for the Village in the first year,
going forward, the Village's costs will be capped at 4.7% per year, which will give the
Village budgeting predictability during a time when health insurance costs have been
increasing dramatically and face an uncertain future under the Affordable Care Act. He
further stated that the union will also offer public employees retiree health insurance.
Finally, President Lalmalani thanked Public Works employees for the great job they did
during all the recent snowstorm events.
