REPORTS OF SPECIAL COMMITTEES
Vice Mayor O'Meilia reported that the Fire/Rescue LOS (Level of Service) is coming before the
County Commission on January 27th. The League of Cities has petitioned the County
Commissioners to recommend athree-year voluntary program to update the level of service. A
financial impact statement as prepared by a Consultant hired by the Committee has been placed
in each Councilperson's mailbox. Vice Mayor O'Meilia will address the County Commission in
this matter at the January 27th meeting and will vote to support the League's position. Captain
Warren of Public Safety told the Council that the Village receives 911 funds based on volume of
calls and our number of dispatchers, so there will be a reduction in revenue if centralized
dispatch becomes a reality.
The Council further expressed its opposition to this issue being taken to referendum. Further,
another letter will be written to the County Commissioners stating the Council's opposition to
centralized dispatching as proposed.
VILLAGE MANAGER REPORT
The Council reviewed the Action Log.

determine what action the Village wants to take.

mass transportation. Mr. Redmond was directed by the Council to express our interest in hearing
what is involved in having a tri-rail station in the Northlake area.
