Unfortunately, it happens now I have to attend a wake that evening. If anyone goes and cares to report here, it will be read with interest. spatny on "Uh-oh. It's another 'Strategic Plan'" http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/topic/uh-oh-its-another-strategic-plan#post-6214 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 18:40:18 +0000 spatny 6214@http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/ Catherine: There have been periodic attempts to make the concept of a Real Estae Transfer Tax available to non-Home Rule communities, in other words, if passed a place like Riverside could put one in place without having to convert to Home Rule. This never seems to go anywhere, so it is sort of a Red Herring. On the second, I suspect it refers to the Harlem businesses being asked to agitate for the idea of a B1 TIF. You probably got the 2007 Annual Report in the mail as I did. I didn't see anything that would let people unerstand how much tax money has been spent on consultants, or continues to be spent. I liked the pictures on the front page, though. Kids at Hauser that participated in the Arbor Day planting of the Serviceberry tree in front of the school, more RBHS kids at the Swan Pond Tree planting, and hell, who could be against a nice old fire engine like #2? I thought the back page reference to the "outcome based controls to insure that future development fits within this historic communities scale, character and pattern of existing development" was ludicrous, considering it allowed the VC to be built, but then maybe they meant some place else since it should have been the possessive "community's" instead of the plural "communities." I guess since we are "lean and mean" we are short on proofreaders. Catherine on "Uh-oh.

A couple of things I noticed. Under Property Transfer Tax and Home Rule issues, it said: wait to see how legislative initiative does. What legislative initiative? Secondly, it said involve businesses in lobbying for Village (read administration) positions, interest expressed by businesses. Who are these businesses, how did they express their interest, and what positions are they or will they be lobbying for? spatny on "Uh-oh.

I shall go and look at it and possibly post it here if I can figure out how to do that. Catherine on "Uh-oh. It's another 'Strategic Plan'" http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/topic/uh-oh-its-another-strategic-plan#post-6210 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:07:01 +0000 Catherine 6210@http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/ Apparently this meeting is had yearly (I do recall one last year) and gives an idea of the priorities of the administration for the year. It is therefore worth a listen, and a comment where desired. There exists a memo dated late Feb '08, 14pp, which is a draft of the plan. I do not know whether it is at the library. I believe the rule or convention is that any document under discussion must be at the library, or is at the library, by the Friday preceding the meeting. spatny on "Uh-oh. It's another 'Strategic Plan'" http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/topic/uh-oh-its-another-strategic-plan#post-6209 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 18:58:51 +0000 spatny 6209@http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/ Mike - you can check in the library to see if a copy of this plan is included with the packet of materials that is supposed to be the same as that supplied to each Trustee. Should it not be there, then it may be available at the Village Hall, or it might have to be requested through FOIA. Presumably this is the same Strategic Plan that came out of the meetings held at the Zoo, but of course it could have been updated and/or amended since then. MikeT on "Uh-oh.

Seems a bit foreboding. Is there any up front detail on the Strategic Plan that we can see ahead of time in order to contribute meaningful petitions on the subject of this meeting? <a href="http://www.riverside.il.us/vertical/Sites/%7B42F3B77D-FE50-43B3-96BF-EB06D8EB0A86%7D/uploads/%7B8CE3D66B-24F9-41F0-B57E-535CE57ADE35%7D.PDF" rel="nofollow">http://www.riverside.il.us/vertical/Sites/%7B42F3B77D-FE50-43B3-96BF-EB06D8EB0A86%7D/uploads/%7B8CE3D66B-24F9-41F0-B57E-535CE57ADE35%7D.PDF</a> Catherine on "Uh-oh.

Adjournment (Executive Session if necessary) I wonder what the 1. under the Village President's report area stands for? Also the (Exec Session if necessary). I thought the reasons for having an Exec. Session had to be announced in the agenda if you are going to have one - like pending litigation, personnel, property acquisition, etc.
