ORDINANCE 2002-07: FIRST TIME
HOMEBUYERS MORTGAGE REVENUE BONDS - Housekeeping matter for resolution that was
adopted in November of 2001 which said that we would offer this program in
DeKalb County in April 2002.
Mr.
Bockman explained that this ordinance is all going to be acted upon this month
by about 100 units of government that are included in the program through an
Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement. Chapman
and Cutler will then do a bond issue through issuers in Aurora and Kendal County
and a couple of others. This is our
implementation of our intent to participate in this program.
Again, it does not count against our debt limit, it’s a non-recourse
bond, we are not liable for any default.
Moved by Mr. Wilson, seconded by Mr. Morreale, and it was carried
unanimously.
Mr. Bockman presented the County Board Agenda for the meeting to be held
on April 17, 2002. Mr. Steimel
stated that under the Administrative Services portion of the agenda he would
like it to reflect that the resolution “was carried with a voice vote” and
not to show the names and the amount of yes and no votes.
Mr. Bockman said that the resolution that was before us last month
regarding the Creation of a Regional Planning Commission is being brought back
to the board this month because it did not have the signed agreements attached
to it and was incomplete with regards to the appointment of all the members.
Mr. Morreale asked if all the names that we passed on last month covered
by all the agreements we are now going to see?
Mr. Bockman said yes, however, if there is not a signed agreement in our
office by this Thursday, then those names will be striken and not appear on the
list. Mr. Morreale said what happens to those names and towns left
off now, will they be brought in under appointments? Mr. Bockman said if we are only appointing a member we will
bring them back under appointments, but if we are approving an agreement, then
it has to come back to this committee.
Moved by Ms. Leifheit, seconded by Mr. Wilson, and it was carried
unanimously to accept the county board agenda as presented by Mr. Bockman.
Mr.
Hutcheson, Chairman of the Planning & Regulations Committee,
said that they have one item they are sending forward to the full board
for approval and that is the annual Landfill License Renewal.
Mr.
Morreale, Chairman of the Forest Preserve Committee, said that the Nicholson
family came to their last meeting and made a donation for Russell Woods Forest
Preserve with regards to the buffer. April
21, 2002 is the Volunteer Day that they will be planting the new buffer.
Mr.
Wilson, Chairman of the Public Infrastructure and Development Committee, said
that his committee tabled the snow removal issue. The only action that his committee is doing is that the
highway department has decided on an earlier call out time in the morning only
if the storm has started early in the morning.
Ms.
LaVigne, Vice-Chairman of the Public Policy Committee, said that the essay
contest winner will be announced at the next Public Policy Committee and the
award will be presented at the April 17, 2002 county board meeting.
Mr.
Steimel, Chairman of the Administrative Services Committee, said that his
committee discussed the proposed salary increases for elected officials.
He also mentioned that with their next meeting being May 1st
and that being so close to the move of the finance department into the new
building that he may cancel that meeting.
Ms.
Leifheit, Chairman of the Public Services Committee, said her committee held the
Senior Tax Levy Hearings and that all of the groups are all very worthy.
The committee was able to fund most of their requests for a total amount
of $330,000.00.
