Upon roll call, the vote was: AYES: 8 -Beauvais, Christiansen, Elstner, Higgason, Brookman, Sarlo, Smith, Arredia NAYS: 0 -None ABSENT: 0 -None Alderman Christiansen stated for the record that he is opposed to the funding of $10 million for storm sewer improvements and $3.5 million for library design and construction; Alderman Brookman stated for the record that she is opposed to the funding of $3.5 million for library design and construction; and Alderman Arredia stated for the record that he is opposed to the funding of $3.5 million for library design and construction. Motion declared carried. Director of Finance Egeberg reviewed his memo of February 18, 1998, in which he outlined two (2) revenue alternatives for funding the construction of a new library in the downtown redevelopment area. 1. A 1/4 percent home -rule sales tax would produce approximately $1,100,000 annually, and would exclude new car sales, food, drugs and the use tax on vehicles sold outside the state; an ordinance would have to be adopted and filed with the Illinois Department of Revenue by October 1, 1998, and the tax would begin to be collected by the State effective the following January. 2. A 1 percent telecommunications tax would produce approximately $300,000 annually, and would apply to all types of telecommunications, including telephone charges (both in state and out of state), faxes, modems, pagers, and computer transmissions; an ordinance would have to be adopted no later than September 30, 1998, and the tax would begin to be collected by the telecommunications companies. The disadvantage is that unlike the sales tax, it only applies to residents, and would not include non-residents in the tax base. It was stated that the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce has gone on record that they would like the funding to come from sales tax. Mr. Jack Flynn, 1271 Fargo Avenue, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that the Chamber of Commerce should not stick their nose in this issue; they should not tell the citizens how to pay for these bonds; the property tax would only go for 20 years, the telecommunications and sales tax would go on forever; he would rather have it on the property tax. Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Arredia, to recommend to the City Council that the matter of determining the revenue source for construction of the new library in the downtown redevelopment area be held for more information until the City Council meeting on June 1, 1998. Motion declared carried. Mayor Jung assumed the chair and declared the City Council back in session. City Clerk McAllister announced that approval of the Mayoral appointment of Daniel W. Lewand to the CABLE COMMISSION (presented on April 20, 1998) has been canceled because Mr. Lewand has withdrawn his name from consideration. LIQ.
