Time Adjourned: 7:40 P.M. Attendees: Tony Graff Bert Callmer Tom Sowinski Kathy Jones Mayor Bob Johnson Discussion: Old Business 1 .) Liquor Ordinance Review Proposed Draft - Regulations, IE: Beer garden, patio service - 3rd Draft - Hours changed. Hours on Sunday were listed and the Holidays are listed. Dan added the months that an Outdoor/Beer Garden type licenses would be allowed. Food needs to be available on site. Liquor served outside can not be in glass containers. Liquor must be served by an employee. Person purchasing liquor does not need to be served outside. Graff will talk with Dan about G 2. Callmer does not want someone to be able to bring.their own. Jones asked if liquor can be served anywhere on the premises as long as it is served by an employee. This needs to be made into two sentences and maybe clarify. Under Class A - Do not require food - a tavern type setting. Mayor Johnson is looking for a recommendation from this Committee to go to COW. Jones is concerned that since the licenses is onlyy ood for six months that someone will only want to pa $125. Callmer thinks the Ordinance clearly states May 1 through Oct. 31 . Take to COW on March 6, 1997. 2.) Budget Review FY 96/97 - Overtime Usage Report Reviewed Overtime is in check. There was a 100 hours in February. There was a lot of Court time. Kim has added in a credit of 51100. Graff is at $40,000 with overtime on the budget. Will be oing over on expedite for having to go to Florida to get someone and ring them back. 3.) Grant Update - 1997 Cops Universal Hiring Grant Approved - Graff is working on hiring another Officer. Once you hire an Officer then you receive the Grant. The five year plan was to hire one Officer per year. Graff needs to be able to show that Officer is doing extra activities. 4.) IDOT Update - Countryside Parkway/RT. 47 - No Update - Graff spoke with Wywrot three weeks ago. IDOT is still reviewing. This intersection does not warrant a traffic signal as a safety issue. However, it does warrant a traffic signal by the amount of traffic. ZO'd aL ° L6-Li-•Aww - Page 2 - 5.) Monthly Police Reports - January 1997 - Mileage - Still producing a fair amount of miles. The mileage on the Dare Care is higher than normal for the month because of training in Peoria and Champaign. Glen has been working with the employees out at Shell. They are enforcing prepayment on the outside pumps at Shell. The hard work has finally paid off. An arrest was made. Domestics are up. Accidents are up probably because of the snow. Graff is working on totals for 12 months. Will be adding graphics. Four years ago the Police went out and asked people to report crimes. The report will be a good comparison. Graff would recommend to Undesser to have customers prepay after dark. 6.) KenCom Intergovernmental Agreement - Proposed Revision Graff met with KenCom not budget and made some recommendations with his reasons. KenCom can only spend sur-charge on certain things. The new law allows them to spend sur-charge money. The City needs to amend their agreement to meet with State law. A review will be done if the City request it. Currently a review is suppose to be done yearly, but that doesn't happen. Tom Cross is working on legislation to charge a sur-charge on all lines. Currently a sur-charge is only charged on voice lines. Data lines and cellulars are not charge. Graff would like to make sure there is a good understanding of the agreement. KenCom is not asking for an increase. KenCom will be putting in MDT (Mobile Data Terminal) backbone. If the Police Department purchases MDT's they will be able to use them. Microwave technology is very expensive and there have been a lot of problems with it. That is why almost everyone has gone to Fiber Optics. Line will not be going a long distance. Motorola has recommended Microwave. There are some concerns with it. Mayor Johnson would like to make sure there is a comfort level with this amendment. Take to COW with recommendation from Committee. 7.) Municipal Systems Inc. - Evaluation Pending - Computer Software for Parking/Administrative Adjudication Process - Still Pending. Graff did receive some references and he is going through them. Ma or Johnson has spoke with Judges and they are a little uncomfortable with it. The State Attorney promotes it. Dan thinks that they are a little lacking. Graff said by next meeting he should have the reviews completed. Will be meeting with Judges. Still need to decide if Yorkville is big enough for this. 8.) Special Event Ordinance Review - Just starting to go through this again. Graff will have a draft at next meeting. Will be looking at it as a risk management. Would like to have something by June 1. 9.) Additional Business - Safety Coordinator - Administration Committee is looking t a Safety Coordinator. Maybe a Police Officer. Need to discuss this. The Insurance company has made some recommendations. They will also provide training. Graff and Mayor Johnson will work on this.
