DRAFT Council6/20/OS Page 9 • Article III, Section 11: Mandatory Referrals, we added five words at the end because the last sentence was an incomplete sentence. Basically, what it says is that any resolution, ordinance or order disapproved by formal action of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall require a vote of two-thirds of the members of the Council to be authorized or adopted. • Article III, Section 6: Salaries, Bonds and Compensation. The way the old one read, was that Council, or the Mayor, with the concurrence of the Finance Director, either one, could approve the expenses incurred by employees or members of commissions, etc. for travel or otherwise in the interest of the Municipality. We thought it odd that the Mayor, with concurrence of the Finance Director could overrule Council, so we changed that a little bit to read that Council, or the Mayor with the concurrence of the Finance Director can make these approvals, however, when the Mayor does it together with the Finance Director, it shall not exceed the Mayor's general spending limit, $ 2,500.00. In other words, the Mayor would not be able to approve $ 3,000.00 for going out to Las Vegas, etc. The Commission added a sentence, any of the expenses set forth herein incurred by the Mayor shall be approved by Council, because prior to that, no one had to approve the Mayor's expenses. • Article IV - this is totally new, our own creation. "The Mayor shall prepare an annual "State of the Village" report which shall be delivered orally to Council at its first regular meeting of April of each year and shall cause full-text copies to be distributed to every residence within the Village within 45 days following the oral presentation. The report, at the very minimum, shall advise Council and the citizens of the Village of the finances and administrative activities of the Village during the past year and what may be occurring in the next year." Mr. Caticchio stated we made some changes to the Civil Service Classifications language because Article V, Section 6 of the Civil Service Commission states that except otherwise provided in the Charter, all regular full-time employees of the Municipality and then goes on to specify the Fire Chief and officers, we struck all of that, because it was being duplicated in other paragraphs in other sections. So, basically, our thougllts on Section 6 merely says now that all regular full-time employees of the Municipality, other than those that are on probationary periods, etc. shall be within the Classified Service. ? Then we go on to Article V, Section 6 B of the Classification Service which relates to the Fire Department; we cleaned up that language and the way it reads now, all regular full- time members of the Fire Department, including the Fire Chief shall be in the Classified Service. We struck out some antiquated language out of that paragraph. Article B6, all temporary or part-time employees of the Municipality, as such positions, shall be defined by the rules and regulations established by the Commission, shall be in the unclassified service. ;
