Motion carried ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS- None 32 UNFNISHED BUSINESS-None NEW BUSINESS- None AUDIENCE Pete McDonald emailed a two part question to Mayor Hermanek. He asked if moving forward will the pension debt/liability start to decrease, stay the same or is it projected to keep increasing? Will all (or most) new revenue such as from gambling and or new sources of revenue be earmarked for the pension liability? Mayor Hermanek stated that every year the village has an independent actuarial and every year they tell us how much we need to fund the pensions. For the past eight years the Village has funded the pensions at 100% and intends on continuing to do so. It is difficult because it comes out of our general revenue fund which budgets the village, public works and recreation department. Even though we are funding at 100% it continues to go up every year and difficult to make up the difference every year. The State has told us under the new proposals that if we keep our pension payments current at 100% every year that by the year 2040 our pension payments would bring down the liability to zero. For the past eight years, all of the red light camera revenue has been earmarked to go directly to the police and fire pension funds and will continue to do so. If more revenue becomes available, that would also go to the pensions as well. ADJOURNMENT Trustee Czajka moved and Trustee Flores seconded for adjournment of this meeting at 7:15 pm. Motion carried unanimously.
