Please, see attached report of proceedings by the Court Reporter for the public hearing.
Mayor Golinski closed the public hearing and the court reporter left. Discussion continued as follows. Mayor Golinski asked the City Council how they felt about the annexation agreement. Alderman Colosimo would be happy with the agreement I fit guarantees that Ashley Road is completed in seven years, by 2025. Alderman Frieders said four years ago his decision was based on the school having an access road to Ashley Road. Alderman Frieders discussed the potential for bottlenecks and congestion around for the school' s only access being from Route 126. Alderman Funkhouser pointed out that the traffic access for the proposed school is identical to that of the Yorkville Middle School. He is not in favor of forcing the school to have an additional access road onto Ashley Road. Alderman Frieders reiterated the fact he is sticking to the decision that was made four years ago. Alderman Funkhouser understands Alderman Frieders' position but stated things have changed due to the developer. Alderman Frieders reiterated his position. Alderman Milschewski asked if the school was being downsized. City Administrator Olson answered her. Alderman Milschewski stated that there could still potentially be 800 students at that school at some point and time. She believes the access road requirement should remain. Alderman Tarulis was in favor ofthe access road. The tally is 4/4 among the Council. Alderman Funkhouser wanted clarification on which intersection will have a stop light. Alderman Milschewski feels that the access from the Prestwick Subdivision is preferred to the intersection at Ashley and Route 126. City Administrator Olson thinks he has his direction as far as the 75th permit requirement. The vote is 5 to 4 as follows. Mayor Golinski, Alderman Funkhouser, Alderman Colosimo, Alderman Koch, and Alderman Hernandez is saying it is ok to remove the 75th permit requirement so that it will simply read seven years from the approval of the agreement completed roadway that can be driven on. City Administrator Olson stated the Alderman who said no were Alderman Frieders, Alderman Milschewski, Alderman Tarulis and Alderman Plocher. City Administrator Olson stated the threshold for the annexation agreement approval is a super majority, six out of nine votes, but it will be drafted as a seven year timeline. Alderman Funkhouser reiterated his position on the annexation agreement. Alderman Colosimo stated in the short term the safest thing to do is to amend the annex agreement to provide for the exit to Ashley Road to be completed within 7 years.

Ordinance 2018-26 Approving 2018- 2019 Fiscal Budget
(CC 2018- 08)
Mayor Golinski entertained a motion to approve an ordinance approving the 2018-2019 fiscal budget, incorporation budget adjustments# 1 through# 9 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute. So moved by Alderman Frieders; seconded by Alderman Milschewski.
City Administrator Olson gave a quick update on this ordinance. City Administrator Olson gave details of the budget and stated that the Parks and Recreation building is having heating issues. It is believed to be the heat exchanger and hopefully the entire heating system will not need to be replaced. The building is currently at 60 degrees and with the weather being warmer than usual the City does not anticipated any freezing issues until the necessary repairs are made. City Administrator Olson also stated that the January consumer sales are in and show to be up approximately 1. 5%. Also, the projected cost of MRF, pension fund, budgeted at 10 plus% came in at 9% which provides a savings of approximately$ 21, 000. Alderman Colosimo supports being more conservative for the City's budget. Alderman Koch will support the budget. He commented on a software system used by the school district. He stated that it provides a working budget which reflects actual receipts and shows ongoing deficits instead of waiting until the end of the year for that information. Alderman Koch was wanting to know if this would be possible for the City to provide. City Administrator Olson stated that in the past the City has done this by providing either or options, depending upon revenues. This was done often during the years when revenues were lower. He stated that depending on the audit outcome this may be something that would be a good portion of next year's budget proposal
