Schuster would like to see if we can do anything with Crafties. He’s very disappointed
about the gaming machines that were put in. Guild said he did talk to the Village Attorney
regarding this. He offered to have the Village Attorney research a possible license
revocation since Mr. Rybacki provided false information during testimony at a hearing.
The Trustees agreed the Administrator should proceed with having the attorney research
this. There was a short discussion on having citizens sworn in at public hearings. There
was also a short discussion regarding Greg Schremp’s request for reimbursement on his
deferred compensation account. Guild will respond back to him indicating that he needs
to come up with the reimbursement amount.
2. Review with Administrator 2017 Annual Work Plan.
Guild reviewed the items listed in his 2017 annual work plan. He reviewed the master
concept plan for the Camp Phillips Centre. He said discussions on the project are going
well. There was a short discussion on the wetlands within the project. Guild asked the
Board if they wanted him to continue to move forward with the Camp Phillips corridor
plan. White said the village should focus on the southeast quadrant plan. A discussion
continued regarding eminent domain procedures. Guild presented a map showing TIF 2
properties for sale. He said there needs to be a plan for TIF 2 while the village is working
on TIF 1. There was a lengthy discussion on the SE quadrant project versus TIF 2
redevelopment. Guild also commented on the proposed Municipal Center project.
3. Review with Administrator any items listed further on this agenda.
Guild asked if there were any other policy issues to discuss. White said the Committee of
the Whole agenda needs to have more item detail. Ermeling suggested the Board of
Trustees agenda be part of the Committee of the Whole agenda. She also asked for a
statement to be included that no action will be taken on items listed under the Committee
of the Whole section.
