Village of Lombard Page 7
Village Board of Trustees Minutes June 20, 2013
had spoken to regarding this matter felt that it was a bad idea.
Trustee Whittington reported that his committee recommended not
adopting this ordinance and he felt that changes can be made as
necessary as far as members.
Trustee Foltyniewicz stated that the T&S Committee was not in favor
of this recommendation. He talked of the experience of the members
that had served for so many years and felt a mix was good with new
people bringing different ideas. He felt that residents were not beating
down the doors to serve on committees.
Trustee Ware indicated the Public Works Committee did not support
the term limits as proposed. He also spoke of members being on the
committee for so many years and about the vast amount of knowledge
that they have and could share.
Trustee Fitzpatrick spoke about current members being given an
additional 12 years to serve on the committee they were currently
serving on before being replaced. She spoke about long-time
members having a lot of knowledge, but also felt new people had
current education levels. She spoke about the government for the
people, and asked what was the best for the residents of Lombard.
She indicated she felt very strongly about setting term limits. She
spoke of enacting term limits for the Board and felt the same should
be done for the committees.
Trustee Breen indicated he was in favor of rotating members on
committees and in favor of term limits. He talked about committee
appointments every two years and about new people bringing fresh
ideas to the committees. He talked about making a policy statement
and urging members to rotate. He stated he did not want to see this
matter die at the meeting. He stated there are 43,000 residents in the
community and felt there was no problem filling the vacancies. He
stated if there was not a consensus, he would like to see a policy
statement.
Trustee Foltyniewicz talked about having new members, members
who had served a few years and members who had served a long
time on each committee. He felt the Board should not force this
proposal.
Trustee Fugiel commented about a committee member leaving a
certain committee and then returning.
A motion was made by Trustee Laura Fitzpatrick, seconded by Trustee Peter

Resolutions
Other Matters
C. 130072 Village of Lombard Parking Ticket Program
Discussion of the recommendations from the Finance and
Transportation & Safety Committees with regard to an Amnesty
Program for outstanding parking tickets or fines.
Director of Finance Tim Sexton indicated this was first discussed in
December in conjunction with using the Local Debt Recovery Program
through the Comptroller's Office. The proposed amnesty program
was then referred to the Finance Committee and the Transportation
and Safety Committee for review. He stated there were different
recommendations from each committee. He stated the Finance
Committee recommended a three month Amnesty Program, a Step 2
fine schedule and did not recommend a payment plan. The T&S
Committee recommended a thirty-day Amnesty Program, a Step 1 fine
schedule and a payment plan for those individuals who owed more
than $500. Director Sexton further explained the proposed Amnesty
Program and fine schedules.
Trustee Foltyniewicz asked why the Village was not going after the
people who owed fines.
Director Sexton indicated in the past this has been turned over to
collection. The Village has $950,000 in unpaid parking tickets and in
the past seven years, only about $14,000 has been collected through
that process.
Trustee Foltyniewicz felt the violators do not feel threatened to pay the
fines
Director Sexton spoke about the schedule of fines and penalties and
talked about the fines becoming unrealistic and artificially inflated.
Trustee Foltyniewicz talked about lowering the fines back to the
original amount.
Manager Hulseberg spoke about these individual's State income tax
checks that can be used to secure the monies owed to the Village .
Trustee Foltyniewicz talked about lowering the fines and then going
after the income tax checks.
Trustee Ware indicated that he liked the Amnesty Program. He felt if
the village could collect $.50 on the dollar, he agreed with trying the
Amnesty Program. He did not agree with going after the State income
Village of Lombard Page 9
Village Board of Trustees Minutes June 20, 2013
tax check.
Trustee Foltyniewicz felt the Amnesty Program was OK if there was
something to back it up. If not, the village was in the same situation it
is currently.
Trustee Whittington talked about the Amnesty Program.
Director Sexton indicated one recommendation was to try it for thirty
days and the other was to try it for ninety days and see what happens.
He indicated going back to the original fine amount was not
successful. He reminded the Board that these were parking ticket
fines and not moving violation fines.
Attorney Bayer talked about Administrative Adjudication, going to court
and turning the fines into court judgments, but stated this was very
expensive and the village would need significant numbers against the
same individual to make this cost effective.
Trustee Ware did not want the Village to go after an individuals' state
income tax check.
Trustee Foltyniewicz felt this was a hollow threat with nothing to back it
up.
Director Sexton stated that parking tickets do not go on an individual's
credit report.
Trustee Ware felt that parking tickets would appear on credit reports .
Trustee Fugiel suggested trying the Amnesty Program and
re-evaluating after the 30 or 90 days.
Trustee Fitzpatrick talked about the down economy, and the last thing
that some people need to do is pay for a parking ticket. She talked
about giving them the benefit of the doubt as it was a parking ticket,
and not that big of a deal. She talked about the Amnesty Program and
lowering the fines.
Trustee Fugiel recommended trying the Amnesty Program for 90 days.
Director Sexton questioned if the Board wanted to go with the Step 1
or Step 2 fine schedule and also is they wanted to offer a payment
plan.
A motion was made by Trustee Mike Fugiel, seconded by Trustee Dan
Whittington, that the Board approve a 90-day Amnesty Program with Step 2
fine schedule and no payment plan. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 5- Dan Whittington, Mike Fugiel, Peter Breen, Laura Fitzpatrick, and Bill
Ware
Nay: 1- Reid Foltyniewicz
D. 130228 Amending the Lombard Village Code with Regard to Schedule of
Fines/Penalties
Recommendation from the Finance and Transportation and Safety
Committees amending Title 7, Chapter 73, Section 73.09 of the
Lombard Village Code with regard to the schedule of fines/penalties.
Director of Finance Tim Sexton spoke about uncollected parking
tickets and the fines increasing discouraging the violators from paying
Village of Lombard Page 10
Village Board of Trustees Minutes June 20, 2013
the fines. He indicated both the Finance Committee and T&S
Committee agreed to the lower fine schedule with the maximum of
$250 fine for parking in a handicapped parking spot.
Trustee Ware asked about lowering the handicapped parking fine .
Attorney Bayer stated handicapped parking fines are set by State law.
Trustee Breen spoke about fines and if the violator misses two
hearings, that the fine is increased.
Director Sexton stated the fines were triple the original amount.
Trustee Breen felt if a violator did not appear at two hearings, there
was no need to keep the fine low.
Trustee Foltyniewicz felt police officers feel bad about writing a ticket .
He talked about the Village being all bark and no bite if we did not
pursue payment. He talked about the initial fines being lower.
Trustee Whittington questioned fines and amounts.
Trustee Ware felt fines should be more tangible for violators to pay .
President Giagnorio asked if the Board wanted to discuss parking
fines at a workshop or did someone want to make a motion with
proposed fines.
Trustee Foltyniewicz suggested a general fine for the first 10 days,
increased from 11-30 days, increased from 30-50 days and if not paid
after the second hearing, increased again.
Attorney Bayer noted case law dictates that the initial fine must remain
the same through the first hearing date.
Trustee Foltyniewicz questioned attorney fees and hearing fees .
Manager Hulseberg indicated with the Adjudication process, violators
are given one more opportunity to pay or dispute the ticket with not a
lot of cost to the Village.
Trustee Fitzpatrick suggested referring the fine schedule to the
Finance Committee.
Trustee Breen suggested this be sent to Finance and T&S and noted
that there are new chairpersons on each committee and new
members.
A motion was made by Trustee Peter Breen, seconded by Trustee Reid
Foltyniewicz, that this proposed Ordinance be referred to to the Finance
Committee and Transportation & Safety Committee. The motion carried by the
following vote:
Aye: 6- Dan Whittington, Mike Fugiel, Reid Foltyniewicz, Peter Breen, Laura
Fitzpatrick, and Bill Ware
Village of Lombard Page 11
Village Board of Trustees Minutes June 20, 2013
E. 130236 Fire Department Staffing
Request for the concurrence in the appointment of one Firefighter to
the Lombard Fire Department.
Trustee Breen indicated he was reviewing the overtime reports and for
the last three months, less than 1% of overtime was used. He
indicated four new firefighter positions had been approved and asked
when they would be on duty.
Chief DiRienzo indicated they will be on duty September 30th.
Trustee Breen questioned when the other firefighters had left
employment.
Chief DiRienzo indicated that two left the end of 2012 and three left at
the beginning of 2013.
Trustee Breen asked if this request would then fill the 63rd position on
the Fire Department. He asked about the financial commitment for
this position and if filling this position was really needed.
Director Sexton indicated the cost would be approximately $110,584
for the first year for a firefighter. The second year would be
$143,243.00. He talked about the steps included in the contract for
firefighter pay increases. He stated that in 30 years, that amount
increases to over four million dollars.
Trustee Breen stated that the $4 million does not cover any
promotions.
Director Sexton indicated this was for the base firefighter and it did not
factor in any legislative changes, work comp or pensions.
Trustee Breen stated the cost was over $4 million and he did not see a
proven need for approving the hiring of an additional firefighter.
Director Sexton indicated this was included in the current budget.
Trustee Breen felt the Fire Department was very will staffed at 62
firefighters, did not see a need for hiring an additional firefighter and
the Village could save $110,000 in the first year. He talked about the
Village Board unanimously agreeing on the hiring of the firefighters
and this is now an additional request. He talked about the over $4
million commitment and talked about pensions driving up the taxes.
He felt this was an increase in taxes and no increase in safety.
Chief DiRienzo indicated that one shift is short and this means all of
the rigs are not totally staffed. He said a full shift is 21 and two shifts
are at 21, but one shift is at 20. He noted that with 15 on duty, the
Fire Department can not run the third ambulance. He hoped for three
ambulances on each shift.
Trustee Breen felt this was not hurting response time. He stated that
at the first meeting in June, the Village Board agreed to hire four new
firefighters. He felt this did not jeapordize public safety and
questioned this additional request.
Chief DiRienzo indicated that the person that had been left out for
replacement was himself when he was promoted to Fire Chief. He
talked about the Fire Department being busy with EMS calls and the
third ambulance.
Village of Lombard Page 12
Village Board of Trustees Minutes June 20, 2013
Trustee Ware questioned if full staff was 63.
Chief DiRienzo indicated this was budgeted.
Trustee Ware stated that he was in agreement for full staffing. He
talked about the service the Fire Department had provided to his
family.
Trustee Foltyniewicz talked about full staffing at 63. He stated that he
had to leave the last meeting as he had to report for work. He talked
about looking out for the north side of town and the possibility of
another senior home.
Trustee Whittington asked when the current contract expired.
Chief Dirienzo indicated in 2015.
Trustee Whittington stated it appeared the Fire Department was using
less overtime compared to 2012.
Chief DiRienzo stated that at 15 on duty, two ambulances are staffed
and at 16, three ambulances are staffed. He felt the Fire Department
relied heavily on neighboring Fire Departments and were in debt with
them on a 3 to 1 basis for EMS calls.
Trustee Fitzpatrick stated the Board had just had this discussion and
had agreed to 62 firefighters. She spoke about reports that had been
prepared by the Assistant Village Manager. She felt the Fire
Department was excellent and noted that she had been the recipient
of their services. She spoke of them saving the life of a young man
who had been severely burned in a fire. She felt this was a different
decision than they had all agreed upon a few weeks earlier. She felt
that staffing was one below full staffing and spoke regarding pensions
and costs. She felt the union contracts were out of control. She
talked about the firefighters having a second fulltime job. She felt this
was a labor issue and not a safety issue. She referenced reports that
had been provided to the Village Board and compared Wheaton and
Elmhurst Fire Departments to Lombard's regarding manpower. She
felt the towns were similar in size, but Lombard had 30% more
firefighters, and she did not understand the difference. She reviewed
the comparison of EMS and fire calls in the towns. She suggested a
study be done. Trustee Fitzpatrick stated she did not see having one
less firefighter as a safety issue. She spoke about the overtime being
drastically less than it had been over the years and felt the Chief
would need to prove the need for the additional firefighter. She felt the
Village did not have the money and that after the summer months
when so many are taking vacations, that there would be sufficient
coverage.
Trustee Foltyniewicz asked if it took 16 firefighters to cover three
ambulances.
Chief DiRienzo indicated that at 16 on duty, the Fire Department has
the option to cover three ambulances, but not at 15.
Trustee Foltyniewicz inquired if 16 per shift was workable with 62.
Chief DiRienzo stated it is workable with less, but anytime they drop
below 16, they hire back at overtime. He felt the best case was to
Village of Lombard Page 13
Village Board of Trustees Minutes June 20, 2013
have three ambulances staffed on each shift.
Trustee Breen asked if the residents were less safe and talked about
response times compared to Wheaton and Elmhurst. He stated he
agreed with Trustee Fitzpatrick regarding a study. He talked about the
same numbers of seniors and population in other towns and the fact
the Fire Department was averaging more than 16 on duty most weeks.
He spoke about the $4 million obligation to hire a firefighter and no
ceiling to that number. He talked about the General Fund shrinking
and the taxes raising. He did not feel this would affect safety.
A motion was made by Trustee Reid Foltyniewicz, seconded by Trustee Bill
Ware, that the Village Board approve the hiring of a firefighter bringing the
Department to full staffing to 63. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 4- Keith Giagnorio, Mike Fugiel, Reid Foltyniewicz, and Bill Ware
