Page 2 of 2
Ms. Willrett presented the stats for the website and she also did a 4-month snapshot. She
said she spoke with the host Civic Plus and the number of searches/visits exceeds other
similar municipalities. All analytics come through Civic Plus.
6. ADM 2017-46 4th Quarter Budget Review – Fiscal Year 2017
Mr. Fredrickson said the numbers looked good and he presented some of the highlights.
He said the municipal sales tax was about $2.94 million and the non-home rule tax was
$2.26 million. Both were up about 6% 'year over year'. The telecommunications tax of
$360,000 (compared to $390,000 last year) will be decreasing as landlines disappear.
Income tax is down throughout the State, however, it is thought it might be due to new
software and different allocations. The General Fund surplus balance will be at
$500,000 for the end of the FY, making the overall Fund Balance at over $6 million for
year-end. He also recapped some of the past history and figures for other departments.
All this information is on the website.
7. ADM 2017-47 Prevailing Wage Ordinance
Ms. Willrett said this is the annual ordinance required by the State and is in line with
State of Illinois wages paid for public projects. This moves to the Council consent
agenda.
8. ADM 2017-48 FY 2018 Travel Authorization
This was passed by the State in 2016 as part of a State Expense Control Act. Future
travel expenses are requested prior to travel and certain conferences are already approved
for attendance. This moves to the Council consent agenda.
9. ADM 2017-49 Fortigate Firewall Purchase
Ms. Willrett said the Consortium has recommended this purchase since the City computer
firewall has nearly reached its lifespan. The cost is $23,492 and Fortigate is the preferred
vendor. The Consortium IT staff will oversee. This moves to the Council consent
agenda.
