Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council January 23, 2023 Page 3 Open Portion — For Public Comment (5-minute limit) Council President Schutt stated, if anyone wishes to speak, please come up to the podium and state your name and address for the record. There were no comments. Department Head Reports: Diane Wolgamuth (Administration) — Thank you. I just have two quick items. I wanted to advise that Citizen's Advisory will be meeting on Monday, January 301h in this room. It's the first meeting of the year. They take off for the month of December. The highlight on Monday night will be Mr. Wynne who has agreed to come in and talk about Village finances. The other item is, everyone may be wondering what happened to those electric vehicle charging stations that we were going to have in our parking lot. We finally got an update from NOACA. They seem to be having trouble with the bids. They all came in 10% over their estimate. They have rejected all bids and are going back out. They project their timeframe is that they will have approval by the Board of Directors in June and they think they will have the project completed by the end of the year. That's all I have. Thank you. Council President Schutt stated, thank you, Ms. Wolgamuth. Daniel Russell (Building) — Thank you Council President. I will be reporting on the past ARB meetings and the P/Z meetings. ARB met on December 22"d. We had three proposals on the docket, two of which were approved and one was tabled. The next meeting on January 9`h was for P/Z.

We had two proposals. Both were granted and approved. Finally, the fourth meeting was on January 19th. It was a P/Z workshop to discuss the site plan for the Yours Truly addition. That's all I have. Council President Schutt stated, thank you, Mr. Russell. Ron Wynne (Finance) — Just some quick updates on the finances for 2022. Finishing the year, our income taxes were $9,017,000 which is about $1.9 net of refunds for 2021. That $9 million number is $11.3 million below what it was for 2019 and $10.3 million below what it was for 2021. Even with that kind of reduction in income tax monies, we still end up the year much better than anticipated. From an operational standpoint, we spent $2.8 million of our beginning General Fund balance. That was before transfers. At the end of the year, we had the one-time transfer of $2.6 million from the Civic Center Fund back to the General Fund that the Department of Taxation approved earlier in the year and then $1 million in transfers from the TIF funds. After the transfers,
