CITIZEN COMMENTS
Stephenie Todd spoke on the RFP proposal for the Old Jail. She said that she hoped that before the city
sold the Old Jail that the city would put some protections into the agreement to ensure that future owners
would respect the historical nature of the building. Ms. Todd said that if the building is eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places, the buyer would qualify for up to a twenty percent federal tax credit
for restoring the building. She said that she has someone from the state checking to see if the building is
eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and she would like to see the City Council wait a
month before voting to see what the gentleman from the preservation agency says.
Howard Manthei spoke on the RFP proposal for the Old Jail. He said that he was disappointed that the
city abandoned the original plan to restore the building and turn it into a museum. He feels that it is
important to preserve the building as the Old Jail has a twin building in Louisville,Illinois that was built
the same year and by the same company as the Yorkville building. Mr. Manthei said that Louisville
preserved their building and it now functions as a museum. He said that he was willing to work with the
new buyer and share the information that he found while researching the building's history.
Randy Witt from Raging Waves spoke in support of a continuing partnership with the Aurora Area
Convention and Visitors Bureau(AACVB). He said that the AACVB is very important to his business.
Daryl Wiese from the Hampton Inn spoke in support of a continuing partnership with the Aurora Area
Convention and Visitors Bureau(AACVB). He supports a five year agreement with the AACVB.

REPORTS
MAYOR'S REPORT
Ordinance 2012-45 Ordinance Amending the Compensation of Elected Officials
Regarding Insurance Coverage
(CC 2012-85)
Mayor Golinski entertained a motion to approve an Ordinance Amending the Compensation of Elected
Officials Regarding Insurance Coverage and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute. So moved
by Alderman Funkhouser; seconded by Alderman Colosimo.
Mayor Golinski said that the issue of elected officials receiving health insurance coverage has been a
controversial issue since the election. Since it was a benefit that was offered to elected officials,he feels
that it's not right to just eliminate it and he would like to phase this benefit out gradually. Under the
proposed ordinance,the elected officials who currently have health insurance would be grandfathered in
and would keep the benefit while they remain elected to their current office which would include
consecutive terms of office. Mayor Golinski said that he has heard from people in the community who
have said they would like the city to get rid of the health insurance benefit and give the elected officials a
raise instead.
Alderman Milschewski said that she would like to see the benefit end when each of the elected official's
current terms ends so that the benefit does not continue indefinitely. Alderman Kot said that he would
like to see a sunset provision in place. Alderman Munns questioned what the cost savings would be to the
city if this benefit is eliminated. Administrator Olson said that the elected officials health insurance has
cost anywhere from $100,000 - $150,000 per year in previous years based upon how many elected
officials used the benefit. Alderman Teeling said that she would like to see the benefit phased out as the
elected officials current terms end. Alderman Spears said that she didn't agree with a sunset provision, as
the current elected officials were elected with the health insurance benefit in place. Alderman Colosimo
said that he has received feedback from residents who are both for and against elected officials having
health insurance. He said that he has no problem with phasing this benefit out over time as the elected
officials leave office. Alderman Funkhouser said that he thinks that the proposed ordinance makes sense
as it gradually phases out the benefit through attrition. Alderman Koch said that he would favor a sunset
provision.
Alderman Teeling made a motion to amend the ordinance by adding a sunset provision for the health
insurance benefit to end with the current terms of office; seconded by Alderman Milschewski.
Motion to amend ordinance defeated by a roll call vote. Ayes-3 Nays-5

Ordinance 2012-46 Ordinance Amending the Compensation of Elected Officials
(CC 2012-85)
Mayor Golinski entertained a motion to approve an Ordinance Amending the Compensation of Elected
Officials and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute. So moved by Alderman Munns; seconded
by Alderman Funkhouser.
Mayor Golinski said that the City Council hasn't received a raise since 2007 and he feels that the elected
officials have accomplished a lot and deserve a raise. He is proposing a$2000.00 increase in pay. Mayor
Golinski said that the elected officials can propose a higher or lower amount or they could choose to keep
the pay where it is currently at. Alderman Kot said that historically local elected officials have been
underpaid; however,he said that city employees only received a 2%raise earlier this year and it was the
first raise they had received in several years. He said that under the proposed increase,the elected
officials would receive a much higher percentage increase in pay;therefore,he doesn't support this
increase right now. Alderman Kot said that he would like to see the proposed increase in pay come back
during budget discussions and the elected officials could review all salaries city wide and perhaps they
could make an adjustment then. He said that times are tough and the elected officials are trying to get
other projects done. Alderman Munns said that the city has raised the pay scales for just about every
department in the city over the past ten years. He said that if employees get their pay raised,that it is
only fair that the elected officials get their pay raised as well. Alderman Teeling said that she is against
the pay increase. She doesn't think that it is necessary to increase the pay that elected officials receive for
serving their community. Alderman Milschewski said that she agreed with Alderman Teeling that an
increase to their annual pay was unnecessary. Alderman Milschewski said that she did support the
increase to the meeting pay for special meetings. Mayor Golinski said that even if the elected officials
decide against an increase in the annual pay, he hoped that the special meeting pay amendment would be
approved. Administrator Olson noted that the proposed ordinance also included an increase to the stipend
that is paid to the appointed deputy clerk and deputy treasurer positions and included pay for meeting
attendance.
Alderman Colosimo made a motion to amend the ordinance by striking from section 1-6-5 (A)numbers
one through four; seconded by Alderman Milschewski.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT
Sale of Lot 6 Van Emmon Street
(CC 2012-86)
Administrator Olson said that the RFP proposal contained an offer to purchase Lot 6 for the price of
$13,500 and it also included improvements to the parking lot. The buyer is estimating that the proposed
improvements will cost between $15,000- $25,000 for demolishing and repairing the lot. Alderman
Teeling asked what would happen to the pump house that is currently located by the parking lot. Mayor
Golinski said that the pump house would remain; however,the city would keep access rights to get to the
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council—November 13,2012—Page 4 of 6
pump house. Administrator Olson said that the RFP for the parking lot does not include the driveway that
the city considers the west alley. The west alley stretches all the way from Van Emmon to Hydraulic so
the city would retain a right-of-way on the alley and additionally, the city would retain rights to tear up
the parking lot at the city's cost if there was a need to access the utilities that are located below the
parking lot. Administrator Olson said that staff is looking for direction from the City Council as to
whether the city attorney should proceed with drafting a finalized purchase agreement,which would come
back to a future meeting for approval. There was consensus from the City Council for Attorney Orr to
draft a sales contract for an upcoming meeting.
Sale of 111 W. Madison Street(Old Jail)
(CC 2012-87)
Administrator Olson said that the RFP proposal included a commitment to renovate the building while
recognizing the historic importance of the Old Jail. The buyer is proposing that instead of paying the city
money for this building,they will instead commit to making $250,000 in improvements to this property.
Mayor Golinski said that if the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity(DCEO)
requires repayment of the $64,000 grant that the city previously received that the money would be paid
back out of the committed$250,000 in improvements by the purchaser. Alderman Teeling said that she
would like the City to talk to the Illinois Historic Preservation Office to see if the building would be
eligible to be added to the registry. Mr. Tollefson of Imperial Investments spoke and encouraged
everyone to come and look at the downtown to see what he is trying to accomplish. He said that his goal
is to try to preserve as much history as he can. Mr. Tollefson was asked if he was willing to have the
building added to the Historical Register if the building qualifies. Mr. Tollefson said that if there was a
twenty percent tax rebate then he would be willing to look at it to see if it's realistic to register the
building. Mayor Golinski asked the City Council if they were in favor of parting with the building with
the guarantee that someone is going to put the money into the building itself instead of paying the city for
the building. Alderman Colosimo said that the city would need to be careful about the possibility that the
state might not come back and ask for repayment of the $64,000 grant until after Imperial Investments
had already renovated the building and spent the $250,000 on renovations. Mayor Golinski said that the
grant was for tourism and the renovations that Imperial Investments is proposing may still qualify under
the tourism grant. Mayor Golinski asked for staff to contact the state and try to get an answer now as to
whether the state would ask for the grant money to be repaid. There was consensus from the City Council
for staff to work on getting more information for the City Council regarding potential repayment of the
DCEO grant and talking to the Illinois Historic Preservation Office.
Resolution Approving Sixth Amended Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement
Regarding the Aurora Area Convention and Visitors Bureau
(Version 1)
(EDC 2012-33)
A motion was made by Alderman Munns to approve a Resolution Approving the Sixth Amended
Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement with a term length of five years as presented in Version 1 and
authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute; seconded by Alderman Teeling.
Alderman Munns mentioned that the five year term received a three to one negative recommendation
from the Economic Development Committee. The committee decided to bring two agreements to the
City Council so that the City Council could decide as a whole. Three of the four committee members
thought that the city should go with a three year agreement with two one year options which would equal
a five year contract if the city feels that the Aurora Area Convention and Visitors Bureau(AACVB) is
doing a good job. Attorney Orr mentioned that if the City Council decides to go with Version 2,which is
the three year agreement with two one year renewal options,that agreement will have to go back to the
other participating municipalities as several of the other municipalities have already approved the five
year agreement as presented in Version 1.
Discussion took place on the term length of the agreement. Most of the aldermen felt that the five year
term length was too long. They want to look out for Yorkville businesses and it was thought that a three
year term length with the two one year options to automatically renew unless Yorkville notified the other
parties in writing, would keep the AACVB working on Yorkville's behalf. If the City Council approves
Version 2 and the AACVB does its'job,the agreement will end up being a five year agreement because
the city will not take action to terminate the agreement. It was mentioned that Aurora and Yorkville are
the two biggest contributors to the AACVB and that Aurora has not renewed the agreement yet either.

STAFF REPORT
Holiday Under the Stars
City Administrator Olson reported that the Parks and Recreation Department would be holding the annual
Holiday Under the Stars festival on Friday,November 16 at Riverfront Park from 5:00 p.m.until 9:00
p.m. In addition to Santa,there would also be vendors and performances by local groups. New to the
festival this year is a fireworks display sponsored by Boombah.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
Route 47—Cameras on Poles
Alderman Colosimo said that with the construction on Route 47, he has noticed that there are cameras
located on all of the poles and he wondered what the purpose of the cameras was. Public Works Director
Dhuse explained that cameras were all interconnected with each other and their purpose was to move
traffic more efficiently along Route 47 during the construction process.
Chamber of Commerce/IDOT Meeting
Alderman Funkhouser noted that he had attended a question and answer session that IDOT held with the
Chamber of Commerce members regarding the Route 47 construction project. He said that IDOT is
looking to communicate and work with the local businesses that will be affected by the construction.
Fox Hill Townhomes-Mailboxes
Alderman Munns said that he had received a phone call from a resident,who lives in a townhouse in the
Fox Hill subdivision,who was complaining about people parking in front of his mailbox. Alderman
Munns asked what the procedure was to make an area a no parking area. Director Dhuse explained that
the city is unable to put a no parking sign up because there is not very much parking available elsewhere
on that street. The mailboxes were put up in one of the only two places that are available for people to
park for three townhome building lengths. A solution would be for them to move the mailboxes to an
area where vehicles can't park. Director Dhuse said that the mailboxes could be split into two groups and
The Minutes of the Regular Meetin¢of the City Council—November 13,2012—Page 6 of 6
placed next to the driveways and it would take care of the problem. Administrator Olson said that staff
had looked into this previously and the city does not have jurisdiction over being able to write parking
tickets for parking in front of the mailboxes. It's up to the post office if someone is parked there when the
post office tries to deliver the mail.
Countryside Parkway
Alderman Spears asked Director Dhuse if he had an estimate on when the turn arrows would be repainted
on Countryside Parkway. Director Dhuse said that the turn arrows would not be repainted until next
spring.
REC Center
Mayor Golinski said that the referendum vote on the potential purchase of the REC Center had failed at
the November 6, 2012 election by approximately three hundred votes. He said that he had met with
recreation staff and discussed the city's strategy for exiting the REC Center building. The full time
recreation staff members would be moving back into the old post office building on Hydraulic. Mayor
Golinski said that there would also be a big reduction in the city's recreation programming as the city
goes through the transition process.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
Mayor Golinski said that the City Council did not need to go into executive session this evening.

None.

A. Defining reasons and intentions for the acquisition of Lot 6.
1. Imperial Investments will cover all costs to fully improve Lot 6 which will include
demolishing/grinding of existing surface down to the dirt base, and to construct a new
lot inclusive of restriping. The timing for completion is weather based and cannot be
installed properly until spring. In the mean-time we will patch and clean until the
weather breaks in the spring.
2. It is estimated that the cost to demolish and repair the existing lot will range from
$15,000 to $25,000.
3. Lot 6 will become much more prevalent and a focal point based on the repositioning of
the commercial store fronts. As part of the Imperial Investments rehabilitation plan the
primary point of entry for all of the West side buildings, with the exception of the Rivers
Edge Theater, will now face to the West and thus the parking lot becomes part of the
primary landscape. As mentioned above our goal is to make those upgrades happen to
Lot 6.
4. Lot 6 will remain as a public parking lot to all residents and visitors of Yorkville's
downtown.
5. Imperial Investments will be responsible to maintain Lot 6 ongoing, thus removing the

4
1 hearings tonight . The first public hearing is for Downtown
2 Yorkville Business District Development Plan.
3 We don't need a motion, do we?
4 MS . ORR: No.
5 MAYOR GOLINSKI : We ' ll move on to the public hearing for
6 that .
7 Kathy, do you want to give a brief synopsis
8 real quick?
9 MS . ORR: Under the Business District Development and
10 Redevelopment Act, it ' s actually the law, there is a provision
11 that if an area -- commercial area is in any way blighted, and by
12 blighted there is a specific definition meaning it ' s lacking in
13 streets, public infrastructure, certain issues that should be
14 addressed, building code violations, et cetera, the designation
15 of the business district as a blighted area authorizes the
16 municipality to oppose up to one percent of additional sales tax.
17 The sales tax, however, cannot be put into the general fund but
18 must be used for specific projects to improve the so-called
19 blighted area.
20 It' s been proposed that a portion of our
21 downtown be designated the business district so that this City
22 Council would have the ability to consider an additional sales

1 tax that would be solely used for the specific area. Within the
2 plan and I hope, Christine, we have a map of the -- did you bring
3 a map of the district?
4 MS. NOBLE: No.
5 MS. ORR: It is an area that is described within the plan
6 designated area and it' s generally bounded by --
7 MS . NOBLE: 47 --
8 ALDERMAN COLOSIMO: Hydraulic on the north, Van Emmon on
9 the south, 47 on the east and 195 feet behind to the west. Off
10 the top of my head.
11 MS. ORR: The parcels are owned by a single entity who, in
12 fact, has requested that this City Council consider this
13 proposal . That ' s it .
14 MAYOR GOLINSKI : Do we have anyone from the public that
15 would like to comment on Downtown yorkville Business District
16 Development Plan?
17 Hearing none, we will close the public
18 hearing.
19 Next we will open a public hearing on the tax
20 levy. Our City Administrator, Mr. Olson, has a brief
21 presentation, and then we will take public comment on our tax
22 levy.

1 Go ahead shut off this front set of lights .
2 There you go. Good enough. It ' s not really. The other switch.
3 Try the other one. Does that help better? Is that better?
4 I did use it for my presentation at the --
5 dinner. I hope I didn't break it . It worked when I brought it
6 back.
7 MR. OLSON: Okay. I apologize for the technical
8 difficulty. Laurie, your computer is probably best . Let ' s see
9 if I can e-mail this to you.
10 MAYOR GOLINSKI : Unless you want to wing it without the
11 power point.
12 MR. OLSON: I can do that.
13 MAYOR GOLINSKI : Just wing it. I mean the power point was
14 the same as last year anyway.
15 MR. OLSON: Okay. So as the Mayor stated, this is a
16 similar power point presentation, so we 'll get it up online and I
17 appreciate everybody bearing with me.
18 So like I said, it ' s been a couple years
19 since we had technical difficulties with power points, so we are
20 probably overdue for one now.
21 So this is a public hearing on the Property
22 Tax Extension Limitation Law. This is actually required by law,
County Court Reporters, Inc.
630 . 653 . 1622
11/13/2012
7
1 and we 're doing this because the City wants your input on our
2 property tax extension. So the most important thing we can tell
3 everybody about property taxes is we always ask for more than we
4 think that we're going to get, so we asked for about 3 . 5 million
5 dollars last year and it came in in May it was finalized at only
6 3 . 4, so we've talked about this each year . The reason we do this
7 is PTEL law, that ' s property tax extension limitation law, bases
8 what the City can collect off of what you collect last year. So
9 if we collect a million dollars one year and then the next year
10 we decide all of a sudden we only think we need $200, 000 our next
11 year ' s increment is based off of that $200, 000 . It doesn't
12 matter what you did two years ago, three years ago, it ' s only
13 what you did the year prior factoring in CPI, so consumer price
14 index, and new growth.
15 So this year we are requesting, now this is
16 only under the PTEL law, about 3 . 65 million dollars in property
17 taxes for all the City' s operations; admin, finance, community
18 development, streets, police, parks and recreation, and we think
19 that we're going to get about 3 . 55 million. So again we 're
20 asking for more than we think we are going to get . So none of
21 these figures include any money for the library or debt
22 associated with the property taxes which we talked about. A
County Court Reporters, Inc.
630 . 653 . 1622
11/13/2012

1 couple years ago we did not evade some debt and that ' s why
2 property taxes went up two years ago the way that they did. So
3 we are hoping to get about $100, 000 more than we got last year.
4 The only reason that we 're requesting that is
5 because we need to make sure that we catch up on our police
6 pension funding. For anybody that 's been following us for the
7 past couple years, we 've had some issues with police pension
8 funding just not funding it to the yearly amount based on our own
9 actuarial assumptions . And if we don't match that dollar amount
10 by fiscal year 15 and fiscal year 16, the State will actually
11 come to us and take away some of our state revenues and make sure
12 that we meet that to 100 percent so everything that we're asking
13 for in our corporate levy is going to go towards police pensions .
14 So we try to do a little bit of a property
15 tax bill calculation. Everything is relative to your neighbor to
16 property tax values across the city. So based on our own
17 assumptions, if you paid about $780 last year to the City and to
18 the library now that includes debt, library bonds, library
19 construction, library operations and city taxes, $780 last year
20 and your property value goes down six percent this year, which is
21 about average, you're going to pay $778, so that ' s a $2 decrease
22 actually. If your property value goes down 10 percent, which we
County Court Reporters, Inc.
630 . 653 . 1622
11/13/2012
9
1 have seen some people do, the average has been, like I said,
2 between six and ten percent, you know, we 're expecting it to go
3 between the City and library down about $38 . It would go from
4 780 to 742 .
5 If you're one of the unfortunate people that
6 actually had your property reassessed and the property value went
7 up, let ' s say, three percent, your City library tax bill will go
8 from about $780 last year to $858 this year. Again, that ' s
9 because you're seeing an increase. You have a larger share of
10 the pie when everybody else is seeing a decrease. And if your
11 property value stayed the same just because everybody else is
12 seeing a decrease city wide, your property tax bill will probably
13 go up $780 dollars to $832 total, so an increase of about 52, and
14 again, that 's all relative.
15 One thing that we want to make sure is the
16 City' s property tax bill is only about 10 percent of your total
17 property tax bill, so I 've got a nice pie chart that I was going
18 to show you, but obviously you're going to have to imagine it,
19 but it shows the school district like $5, 200 tax bill is $3, 300
20 worth of your tax bill. The City' s is 400, the library is 173,
21 Kendall county' s is about 400, Waubonsee' s is 275, Bristol Road
22 District' s is 150, BKFD itself is about 450, so we try to give
County Court Reporters, Inc.
630 . 653 . 1622
11/13/2012
10
1 everybody a good context compared to other governmental entities.
2 So the numbers, because property values are
3 going down and we 're asking for a little bit more than we asked
4 for last year, the operation rate means that the rate is going to
5 go up. It ' s just simple math. So the thing that we want to make
6 sure -- everybody' s rate is going up the amount that we're
7 actually asking for overall between the library and the City is
8 actually going down two and a half percent is what we're
9 calculating. And, again, your property tax bill is going to be
10 dependent on what you do compared to everybody else in the City
11 so your neighbor, the business across the street, if you see a
12 big property tax or property value decrease and everybody else
13 sees only a small decrease, your property tax bill is going to go
14 way down. But if you see an increase or you see a small decrease
15 and everybody else gets a big decrease, your property tax bill is
16 going to go way up, so it 's all relative.
17 And then I walk through a couple different
18 scenarios . If anybody remembers from last year Mr. Condons and
19 his family and Uncle Penny Bags . It just shows that, you know,
20 the neighbor across the street who has the big house and got a
21 significant decrease in his property assessment, your tax bill is
22 going to go up and you're going to have a bigger share of the
County Court Reporters, Inc.
630 . 653 . 1622
11/13/2012
11
1 pie, so we just want to make that clear to everybody.
2 So one of the questions we get is why do you
3 need more money. And, again, we have to hold the property tax
4 public hearing because our corporate levy, our operations levy,
5 is going up even though our overall tax levy is going to go down,
6 so between library bonds and city we 're going down because the
7 city portion is going up slightly we have to hold a public
8 hearing. So again all new property tax revenues going towards
9 police pension funding and another reason we ask for more is
10 because it ' s based off of the prior year ' s levies so that 's
11 important to remember from an operational perspective.
12 Long-term we still have Route 47 . It just
13 started. We haven't seen a bill for it yet. We got that over
14 the next 10 years . Game Farm Road which we have not started
15 other than engineering. We 're hoping to start about fiscal year
16 15 . That ' s a seven million dollar project . We have got two and
17 a half million dollars worked out from the federal government, so
18 we have to figure out a way to fund four and a half million
19 dollars on Game Farm Road. River Road bridge, yes, we got a
20 county loan, but we 're still responsible for paying that back
21 over six years even with no interest . And then kind of the big
22 thing hanging over everybody' s heads is we still have our Road
County Court Reporters, Inc.
630 . 653 . 1622
11/13/2012
12
1 Meetings Program that we just finished a study and we're hoping
2 to have a preliminary presentation on that actually next week at
3 Public Works, but that could be another one to two million dollar
4 per year obligation depending on what level we want to fund our
5 road maintenance at .
6 Also you've got water debt, sewer debt we
7 talked about a lot in the past couple years . I don't want to get
8 into that too much further. And then all the recapture payments
9 associated with those developments . So even though this year --
10 this past year was relatively good for us, we're projecting that
11 this year is going to be good. We do a five-year budget for a
12 reason so that we don't get into the same situation we were a
13 couple years ago, so we're really trying to look long-term.
14 And then the most important answer to that
15 why do you need more money? We don't actually. Like I said, our
16 overall levy between the City, the bonds and the library is
17 actually decreased by about two and a half percent . Just because
18 the City' s portion is going up a small amount is the reason we
19 have to have the public hearing.
20 So please note when you're looking at this on
21 the power point or in the packets, all these materials are in the
22 city council packets, all these are estimates . We 're not going
County Court Reporters, Inc .
630 . 653 . 1622
11/13/2012
13
1 to know the actual tax rate, property assessments until May when
2 everybody gets through their appeals and the County does the
3 calculations . And the city council isn't voting on this tonight.
4 We have to file it with the county clerk by the end of December .
5 The last Tuesday in December to be exact and so there' s still
6 time for your input whether it ' s tonight, whether you e-mail the
7 council members individually over the next couple weeks, there 's
8 still time for your input .
9 So with that I appreciate your patience with
10 the technology, and I will turn it over. Thank you.
11 MAYOR GOLINSKI : Thank you, Mr. Olson. \
12 Do we have any members of the audience that
13 would like to comment on the tax levy for public hearing
14 purposes?
15 Yes, sir . Please state your name for the
16 record and sign in.
17 MR. ALANIZ : Yes, sir. Jesus Alaniz, Colonial Parkway.
18 Your Honor, first of all I would just like to keep it short, so I
19 would like to ask can we e-mail you our opinions and our feelings
20 and they would still be entered into the record?
21 MAYOR GOLINSKI : Absolutely. Put on there that you would
22 like it entered into the record and we can do that .

14
1 MR. ALANIZ : Okay. Then if it 's okay I would just rather
2 cut it short and reduce it to that.
3 MAYOR GOLINSKI : That ' s fine. There 's no problem with
4 that, right?
5 MS . ORR: Right.
6 MAYOR GOLINSKI : Okay.
7 MR. ALANIZ : Thank you, your Honor.
8 MAYOR GOLINSKI : Absolutely. Thank you, sir.
9 Do we have any other members of the audience
10 who would like to comment on the tax levy for public hearing
