06-02-15 minutes
Chief Matthes reported that nine calls were missed during the last month. All of them were at night when we rely exclusively on volunteers. By the same token 14 calls were handed during the same time period. Aaron Patterson asked what Chief Matthes was doing to increase the squad. Chief said that three members have begun training and that he has another interested party as well.
Fire Chief: Present. Report Submitted.
Chief reported that the $15,000 state fire marshal grant funds have been received. The second grass truck is being completed at Casey’s. When it is in service the older grass truck will be taken out of service for the skid replacement.
Police Chief: Present. Report Submitted.
Chief Baer discussed the recent heroin arrest. He said that our department is one of the few that files charges against the supplier. One case of involuntary manslaughter is before the grand jury currently and Chief expects an indictment. He said that the time line for such action is lengthy due to the several month lag in getting toxicology reports and the deliberate pace on the grand jury process.
Chief Baer announced that he is taking vacation and he appointed Lafferty as Officer in Charge during the absence. Mr. Cameron called for an executive session.
Village Administrator: Present. Report Submitted.
Ms Dettling and Mr. Marcin addressed the abandoned house on Beckett St. that Ms Dettling is recommending to be demolished at village expense. Our costs will be the third lien on the property following taxes and a mortgage. Since the house will be gone the only value is the land and the third lien may not be satisfied when the lot sells. Ms Dettling pointed out that we do have $5000 appropriated for such demolitions. Based on Ms Dettling’s recommendation, Ms Goldner made a motion to hire All Excavating to clean up 506 Beckett St. at a cost not to exceed $ 2400. Work to begin weather permitting 06-15-15. Second by Mr. Cameron. All approved.
Ms Dettling reviewed the new hire form and the street paving that is required whenever there is a water line repair. It is the consensus of council that the cost of such repairs is the responsibility of the public utilities department and that such repairs must be done in a more timely manner—weather and the availability of the asphalt permitting.

Clerk: Present.
Clerk Van Mooy distributed copies of an e-mailed opinion from Appointed Legal Counsel Marcin that opined that the vote at the 05-19-15 meeting on Ordinance 2015-13 was done in error. According to Village Administrative Code Section 121.01 (b)(6), council president, while acting as mayor in the absence of the mayor for the meeting, should have been given the opportunity to vote on the ordinance. Had she voted there might have been a tie. Said tie would have caused the ordinance to be laid over until the next meeting to give the mayor the opportunity to vote. The opinion stated that Ordinance 2015-13 should be given a new third reading at this meeting. Clerk Van Mooy distributed copies of Ordinance 2015-13. The Appointed Legal Counsel’s opinion is below.
Rick;
You asked the question following the last council meeting when ordinance 2015-13 funding the EMS was not approved, whether it could be reintroduced. You pointed out that Janet Goldner as President of Council did not vote as she was chairing the meeting in the Mayors absence. That had she been allowed to vote and had she voted in favor of passage, the ordinance might have passed or at least ended up in a tie vote.
See Village Administrative Code Section 121.01(b)(6). A member of Council that is temporarily chairing a Council meeting in the absence of the Mayor has the right to vote on all matters as a Council member. Ms. Goldner should have been included in the roll call votes at the last meeting.
Further, it is my opinion that if the vote had ended in a tie, in the Mayor’s absence the ordinance should have laid over for his tie breaking vote at the next regular or special meeting of Council.
It is therefore my opinion that ordinance 2015-13 be reintroduced for a new third reading because the Ordinance was not properly voted on at the May 19th Council meeting and correcting this error may well affect the outcome. This procedural error should be corrected by giving all Council members present, including Ms. Goldner the right to cast their vote. If the vote does end in a tie Mayor Julien retains the authority to break the tie.
Ms. Goldner was not called upon to vote on any other ordinances, resolutions or motion that were considered at the last meeting. This obviously was also in error. However, since all other matters considered at the last meeting were approved by unanimous vote of the other members of council present, Ms. Goldner’s failure to vote did not affect the outcome. It is therefore my opinion that it is not necessary to revote on the other matters that were considered at the last meeting.

Aaron Patterson made a motion to adopt Ordinance 2015-20. Second by Ms Goldner. The vote: No—Thompson and Cameron. Yes—Rose, Goldner, Art Patterson and Aaron Patterson.
Before the vote Ms Thompson asked for clarification that voting for this ordinance was only voting to close the loan not the actual purchase. Clerk Van Mooy reviewed the minutes of the 05-19-15 meeting where this question was asked and clarified. The answer is that this is only the loan closing not the actual purchase of the two vehicles. It was further stated that once we qualify for the loan that we have five years to spend the money and that the ordinance is written so both vehicle must be purchase but not necessarily at the same time.
