At this meeting two newly purchased properties were added to the Forest Preserve holdings, in keeping with the budget and policies adopted in the recent past. These are in Sauk Village.
There was also discussion of the budget and cash flow, with the pronouncement that the Forest Preserve administration remains confident of their 2013 forecasts. Property Taxes are coming in on target, and licensing fees are increased due to more aggressive follow up on expired licenses than had been done in the past. In addition, pool receipts were high due to a hot summer, better controls, and new programs instituted this year.
The Forest Preserve Board has put forth a new fee structure for services which is more transparent than in the past and is in line with market rates of similar services in the area. Some fees are rising slightly while many remain substantially the same.
