Mr.
Veverka reminded the Board about the Public Hearing and the Adoption of the
Budget and Appropriation Ordinance on April 2, 2008. The Levy will be adopted at the regular board
meeting on April 16, 2008. After discussion
the Board determined to keep the same interest rate as last year for the Tax
Anticipation Warrants. The ordinance
transferring funds needs to be passed at the April meeting. Mr. Veverka has received some of the Ethics
Statements and will file them with the County.
Next month the Board needs to review the Executive Session minutes.
Mr.
Szyska discussed a few items from the staff meeting. The CDC recommends but does not require a BL2
lab for testing mosquitoes for viruses. The
District already meets some of the requirements. Any upgrading to a BL2 lab would not be on the
current budget. The Board approved
moving the copier to the board room and suggested removing the desk if more
room is needed. The lab also needs to
purchase a freezer for storing mosquitoes that goes to -70 or -80 degrees
centigrade.
Mr.
Szyska showed the Trustees the new GIS maps done by Mike Mancuso one of the
Supervisors. He is integrating the
aerial maps, village GIS maps and our maps.
Per
the Board’s request, Mr. Szyska has completed his review of auditors and
representative village fiscal year end audits.
After discussion of the matter the Board decided to retain McClure,
Inserra & Co. pending review of their engagement letter.
There
being no further business to come before the Board a motion was made to adjourn
and it passed unanimously.
