Mayor Jung also recognized City Engineer Oakley and his department for their participation in the National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating System. Mr. Vince Powers, 862 Webster Lane, addressed the City Council expressing his concern that citizens are no longer permitted to remove items from the Consent Agenda for discussion; this is not right; the City Council should restore this practice. Mr. Ted Sherwood, 675 Pearson Street, addressed the City Council regarding the 1999 Budget being almost double that of last year; this does not mean the City is incompetent; 80% is for staff salaries and fringe benefits; he tried to control those expenses when he was mayor; the present administration should do that now; there is much to be proud of with the CIP and new Library. Mr. Ray Grish, 980 Crabtree Lane, addressed the City Council stating that he and his neighbors are not against development at Rand Road and Dempster Street; they are trying to find a way to take over the land themselves so it can be a continuation of Rand Park; but we need to think about flooding; Cook County has done nothing about flooding even though the Cook County Board is in charge of this; they do not have a storm water management plan; the City should look into how they can force Cook County to do something about that. Mrs. Gloria Keane, 2048 Webster Lane, addressed the City Council asking why the City sold the property where the new Library will be to the developers for only $250,000. City Manager Douthwaite stated that this land is in the TIF District which entices businesses to the area because of tax incentives; it will cost the developer COMMENTS (Cont'd.)
