conflict; there is a difference in fees charged; is the prevailing wage is being
paid?; inspections are performed twice a year; he recited information from the
State Fire Marshall.

Fire Chief Wax stated that he wanted to clarify the implementation of the
elimination of a Deputy Fire Chief position which would result in demotions
down the line and layoff of a fire fighter with the least seniority; the cost
savings would be for a fire fighter position and not a Deputy Fire Chief
position.
Mr. Eric Suevel, 1369 Dennis Place, addressed the Committee of the Whole
stating that the trickledown effect of eliminating a position will cause more
overtime; a change in ISO ratings will affect business owners; less
administration, less manpower; Rig #7 4 is out of service -does this change ISO
ratings?; deployment study from 2006 outlined recommendations; since 2006,
calls are up, staff has dropped; an administrative position helps the Fire
Department with training and organization; management staff is needed for day-
to-day operations; study stated that staffing is at 7%; it should be 10% -15%;
7% is unusually low; is it possible to table the issue?; is $32,000 going to break
the bank?; $25,000 was spent for the study which was not implemented; he
urged the Council to think about it.
Moved by Argus, seconded by Brookman, to recommend to the City Council
approval of Resolution R-156-10, the 2011 Budget.
Alderman Higgason stated that she believes the issue of eliminating one
position has not been totally researched, and asked the Council to reconsider.

Director of Finance Wisniewski reviewed her Memorandum of November 4,
2010 regarding short-term financing for the City and the Library; for the fourth
consecutive year, Cook County was late with their property tax assessment and
distribution, therefore resulting in a delay in mailing the tax bills; the City relies
on property tax revenue to help pay for debt service costs and general City
services; the City expects second installment payments between December 6,
2010 and February 28, 2011 which will be applied to general services, bond
payments and interest; five financial institutions were contacted for the most
competitive pricing for the short tenn loan; Staff detennined that FirstMerit's
