Village of Orion Finance Committee met March 28.
Here is the minutes as provided by the committee:
A meeting of the Finance Committee was held March 28, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. at Village
Hall, 1202 4th Street, Orion, Illinois. Members present: Peterson. Absent: Drucker and
Newman. Also present was President Cooper.
Credit card receipts were reviewed and compared to the statement. All was found to be
in order. Employee leave hours were also examined.
The proposed FY 2019 budget requests were reviewed and discussed. Sewer Supt. Chris
Lundburg told the board he and Trustee Hancock were aiming to keep a $100,000
balance in each of the depreciation and capital improvement funds for emergency
purposes. He also noted the sewer plant is still processing leachate and will do so as long
as it doesn’t pose a detrimental effect to the effluent. Processing of leachate raises
revenue for the sewer department.
Due to prior correspondence with Trustee Newman, part time labor costs were increased
in the park budget. There was still a question about whether one or two part time
employees would be hired to perform park and street work. An overlay of 13th Street
between 7th and 10th Avenues was added to the budget. The project will only proceed if
time allows. A new backhoe was left in the budget with the stipulation it be used to its
fullest potential in all departments, including for main breaks.
In prior correspondence with Trustee Newman he noted the village’s finances were in
good condition, there is often a carryover, and the village board no longer needs to
concern itself about sheriff’s dispatching fees.
There being no further business to come before the committee, the meeting was
adjourned.
