Alderman Beauvais asked if Calumet City residents are
fighting this; it seems like it would be hypercritical
to vote for this after voting against the Rosemont
license even though the money would be used for a g6od
reason.
Alderman Arredia stated that he tried but couldn't find
out if the surrounding communities are in favor of this
gaming license; he would have a problem voting for this;
we didn't want it close by in Rosemont, but it is OK in
Calumet City because it is down south; he will be voting
no.
Alderman Brookman stated that the chances of Calumet City
getting a gaming licenses is remote; this would be an
empty vote; we should be pursuing with the State of
Illinois compensation for the impact the Rosemont license
will have on our community.
Aldermen Elstner asked how this action would look to
Rosemont if we did this. Mayor Jung stated that he
couldn't speculate on that; but he would not hesitate to
go to Rosemont and ask for our costs.
Alderman Beauvais asked if the Staff could find out how
the communities surrounding Calumet City feel about their
getting a gaming license. Mayor Jung stated that the
South & Southwest Mayors & Managers Conference can be
contacted for this information.
Aldermen Becker and Sayad agreed to withdraw their motion
until this information is received and presented on
August 2, 1999.
Mr. Vince Powers, 862 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that participation in
Calumet City's revenue sharing program would be wrong ;
the citizens of Des Plaines voted against gambling; you
should listen to the people; there are State grants to
help pay the cost of having a casino next door; please
vote against this revenue sharing program.
Moved by Smith, seconded by Brookman, to recommend to the
City Council to reject the offer from Calumet City to
participate in their gaming revenue sharing program.
Motion declared carried. Aldermen Christiansen, Sayad
and Becker voted no.
Mayor Jung reviewed his memo of July 12, 1999, regarding
his proposal to give a ten (10) business day grace period
after the vehicle sticker deadline (June 30th) during
which there would be an added $10 charge; after the ten
(10) days, the full $50 (twice the normal sticker fee)
would be collected.
Alderman Smith stated that it would not be fair to those
residents who buy their stickers on time, to give a grace
period.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Elstner, to recommend to
the City Council that there be a ten ( 10) day grace
period after the vehicle sticker deadline during which
there would be an added $10 charge; after the ten (10)
days, the full $50 would be collected; and City Attorney
