Alderman Sayad reviewed the matter of the audit of the
City's Employee Medical Trust Fund by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which was authorized by the
City Council on June 7, 2004.
Mr. Daniel Plante, Senior Manager,
PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, One North Wacker Ori ve,
Chicago, IL 60606, addressed the Committee of the Whole
and reviewed their audit process and their findings; the
lapse year funding approach adopted for PY2000 and
continuing through June 30, 2003, resulted in the
greatest deficit to the medical trust fund; in all, a
cumulative deficit of $900,000 was generated as a result
of the decision to move to this lapse year funding
approach without adequately accounting for the existence
of continued healthcare inflation.
Mr. Plante identified the factors and
PricewaterhouseCoopers' estimate, based on the data they
were provided by the City, of the resulting impact
leading to the deficit:
--Poor experience in PY1999 -$140,000 deficit;
--Move to Lapse Year Funding starting with PY2000 -
$500,000 deficit;
--Experience losses in PY2001 not reflected in
PY2002 Premium Development (which relied on
claims through June 30, 2001) -$390,000 deficit;
--Incorrect PY2002 premiums charged (understated due
to missing stop-loss component and assumed Blue
Cross Blue Shield drug costs rather than Walgreen
drug costs -$185,000 deficit;
for a total deficit of $2,115,000.
Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole asking how much money was in the
health insurance fund in 2000. Director of Finance
Egeberg said $1.8 million.
Mr. Burkross stated that it seemed to him this is
taxpayers' money; how did this go on for three (3) to
four ( 4) years and not be noticed by someone in the
City? City Manager Niemeyer said the City was not
paying as much as it should have in years past and now
we are paying what we should be paying.
Mr. Burkross stated that someone in the City should be
accountable for this; this is costing taxpayers money.
Alderman Sayad said the Staff is being asked to look at
this in the future.
City Manager Niemeyer stated that the City is getting
rid of Lapse Funding; we have learned from this audit
and have moved forward.
Alderman Beauvais stated that we didn't get the services
we paid from the City's previous healthcare broker,
Corporate Benefits Consultants; we should see if we can
get something back from someone.
Mr. Gregg Alemen, Area Senior Vice President, Gallagher
Benefit Services, 2 Pierce Place, Itasca, IL 60143, the
City's current healthcare broker, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that these deficits will
not happen with the program they have; Des Plaines is
part of the 45-member Intergovernmental Personal
Benefits Cooperative, which requires that all members
approve the rates and policies.
Alderman Sayad stated that a Special Meeting of the
Council will be held on Monday, January 10, 2005 at
p.m. in Room 102 of City Hall to finalize the
Budget. Alderman Sayad recommended that
appropriations ordinance, M-103-04, be placed on
Reading tonight with Second Reading on January 10,
in case any changes are made to the budget.

Moved by Sayad, seconded by Becker, to recommend to the
City Council to approve the proposed 2005 Appropriations
in the amount of $136,528,583 and place on First Reading
Ordinance M-103-04. Motion declared carried. Alderman
Murphy voted no.
PUBLIC WORKS -Alderman Murphy, Chair
Alderman Murphy stated that the solid waste contract
with ARC Disposal and Recycling, Inc. will be expiring
on March 30, 2005; this is a five (5) -year contract,
with two (2) one (1)-year extensions, to collect
unlimited refuse, recycling and yard waste material from
all single family homes; multi-family homes had the
option of participating with the multi-family costs
quoted in the City's contract or obtaining other waste
haulers; also included in the contract was unlimited
appliance (or white goods) and bulk collections for
single-family residents.
Alderman Murphy stated that the Public Works Committee
met on November 10, 2004, and recommended that the City
advertise for bids. The Public Works Committee also
recommended that the Des Plaines Park District and Des
Plaines Library be included as options in the new
contract; the City is currently providing refuse and
recycling services to them.
Alderman Murphy stated that the City will need to
determine whether to:
--not include any taxing bodies and have them enter into
their own agreements; or
--include the two (2) taxing bodies in the City's
contract, but have them billed by the City or bill them
directly from the contractor to the taxing body; or
--include the two (2) taxing bodies in the contract and
continue with the City subsidizing their services as in
the current contract.
Mr. Ricahrd Bul thuis, ARC Disposal & Recycling
Companies, Inc., 2101 S. Busse Road, Mt. Prospect, IL
60056, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that
they have provided the City very good service and
reviewed the statistics; they are more than willing to
make whatever adjustments the City would like them to
consider, i.e. billing modifications.
Mr. Bulthuis stated that they are requesting the City to
go into a one ( 1) -year renewal with them; this would
allow the City and the Public Works Committee to gather
the necessary information to make a good decision on
this matter; their renewal price would be a 3% increase
or the Consumer Price Index (CPI), whichever is lower.
Alderman Sayad questioned why the City should pick up
garbage for the Des Plaines Park District; this is a
taxing body; garbage pickup is a part of doing business
for them; they have increased their facilities over the
years.
Director of Public Works Dusckett stated that the City
is obligated to pick up the garbage at the Des Plaines
Park District facility at Prairie Lakes until 2010
through an intergovernmental agreement.
Alderman Argus stated that the Mt. Prospect Park
District, which serves the area west of Mt. Prospect
Road, pays for their own garbage pickup; residents of
the Fourth Ward, Eighth Ward and part of the Third Ward
have paid for the Des Plaines Park District garbage pick
up; she believes this is not fair; the Des Plaines Park
District should pay for their own garbage pickup.
GARBAGE
(Cont'd. )

1/3/05
Alderman Beauvais stated that she doesn't think this is
fair to the Des Plaines Park District to do this now; we
should have called for a meeting with the Des Plaines
Park District; if we do this in 2006, she would have no
problem separating them from the contract; they don't
get their levy until 2006.
Dr. Madlan McKernan, 1920 Andy Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that she knows she is
paying too much for the garbage she puts out; she
recycles all she can; she believes we should be able to
pay for only the service we receive; she doesn't think
people would recycle any more than they do now even if
they have a larger bin; she doesn't want to pay the same
as her neighbor who puts out two (2) large cans and she
only puts out one (1).
Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that he can't blame those
that live in Elk Grove Township and have to pay for
services and are not getting the benefits; this is
taxation without representation.
Mr. Jim Grady, President, Des Plaines Park District
Board, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that
the Des Plaines Park District has already processed
their levy; this would be a burden; they would like to
have time to get this into their budget; they would like
a year's time to work this out with the City; in the
spirit of cooperation, they could work together on some
projects, i.e. landscaping.
Mrs. Noreen Lake, President, Des Plaines Library Board
of Trustees, addressed the Committee of the Whole
stating that the Board opposes additional charges not
stipulated in the lease between the Des Plaines Library
Board and the City; they will pay for their portion of
the bill--$4,200 a year; if necessary, they will also go
out for bids.
Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that it seems like the
Des Plaines Library's problem is the easiest to solve;
it really isn't going to mean anything to the residents
whether it is paid for by the Des Plaines Library or the
City; let's extend the contract and work out some of
these problems.
Alderman Murphy requested that letter from the Des
Plaines Park District, dated December 30, 2004, and
letter from the Des Plaines Library, dated December 29,
2004, be made part of the record.
Moved by Murphy, seconded by Sayad, to recommend to the
City Council that Staff be authorized to prepare an
intergovernmental agreement with the Des Plaines Park
District for deferred payment of the 2005 Refuse
Disposal Service effective April 1, 2005 through March
31, 2006; service to be performed by ARC Disposal &
Recycling Companies, Inc. Motion declared carried.
Moved by Sayad, seconded by Becker, to recommend to the
City Council that Staff be authorized to prepare
necessary documents to extend contract with ARC Disposal
& Recycling Companies, Inc., 2101 S. Busse Road, Mt.
Prospect, IL 60056, for Solid Waste Collection,
Transportation and Disposal effective April 1, 2005
through March 31, 2006, at a 3% increase or the Consumer
Price Index, whichever is lower. Motion declared
carried.

Alderman Becker stated that Section 5. 4-1 of the Des
Plaines Zoning Ordinance requires that building permit
applicants with undersized lots of record must present
their plans for construction to the City Council before
a permit may be issued. NO ACTION IS REQURIED BY THE
CITY COUNCIL.
Mr. Tim Bouse, Harrington Homes, Inc. 1548 E. Algonquin
Road, Suite 260, Algonquin, IL 60102, has applied for a
building permit to construct a single-family house on
each of the undersized lots of record on property

with a total area of 9,000 sq. ft; based upon the review
