B. Public Comment
Jan Kay questioned how much the City’s proposed budget has been affected by the State of Illinois’s
budget and whether the City has reduced any services due to the State’s actions.
City Manager Rose stated services have not been pared down because the City still doesn’t know what
actions the State will take and the effect they would have on the City’s revenues. However, the City did
increase the tax levy to cover increased expenditures in the police and fire pension funds. This budget
was created based upon the assumption that the City will continue to receive State revenues.
C. Council Comment
Councilman Rutledge stated the Council has already spent a great deal of time discussing the budget
at the three budget workshop sessions, so he has no further comments.
Mayor Pro Tem Suess stated the Council will approve the proposed budget at its April 18 meeting.
III. Adjournment
Councilman Saline moved and Councilman Scalzo seconded a motion to close the public hearing at
7:05 p.m.
