Maintenance Report: Biesterfeld is still working on the DECO grants. Sharma would like to see the cost break out.
Long Range Report: Sharma reported she attended the Strategic Plan meeting with the staff. She sees already space is an issue which everyone on the board already knows. This will reinforce our decision as a board and encourage us to continue with the Bank purchase. Polzin explained the Strategic Planning process and will share results next month.
Personnel/Finance: We have rewritten the Office Manager job description, and created two part time positions. We hired Patty Wiater as a part time Finance Assistant. She is a past Commissioner of the District and has a degree in Finance. We also hired Patti Foster who previously worked for our Preschool.
Directors Report: Polzin reported no movement on the 690 building. Mr. Slade wants the road build before any programming takes places at that location. The Crete Township is looking to invest in a new building and there is a possibility of pooling funds to benefit everyone. Polzin sent information to Attorney Lulich to investigate an intergovernmental agreement. The estimated cost to put in the road on the Sangamon Street property is $180,000. Tech 3 doesn’t feel the need to do soil borings. He feels the majority of the property is buildable. Director Polzin, President Johnson and M Smith met and discussed the financing for the project. Polzin said WWPC is blocked off from programs and rentals from Aug 10-19 for construction. Sharma suggested we scale some of our projects back at WWPC, tackle the necessity then others in years to come so the money was freed up for the road.
Presidents Report: President Johnson thanked everyone for their hard work.
Stawicki moved and Sharma seconded a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:00 pm. All Commissioners present voted aye.
