1. Consideration of an Ordinance approving a Fee Schedule For The City Of Lake Forest (First Reading and Final Approval)
PRESENTED BY CHAIRMAN MICHAEL RUMMEL
As discussed during the August 4, 2003 Finance Committee meeting, the target base budget approach ties expenses to projected resources at the beginning of the budget process. The fee
schedule is presented for approval two months earlier than prior years as revenue forms the foundation for the entire budget. It is extremely important that certain fees gain approval
tonight. To that end, the fee schedule is comprised of two parts: Section 1 contains new fees or fees that are being increased. Section 2 is a housekeeping section that contains fees
that are remaining the same but were recommended to be approved under this ordinance by the City Attorney. Golf, boating and cemetery fees will be presented at a later date.
Recommended Action: Waive first reading and grant final approval to the ordinance approving a fee schedule for The City of Lake Forest.

2. Authorization to purchase rock salt through the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Agreement for the 2003 – 2004 winter.
The State of Illinois requires government agencies desiring to participate in this year’s rock salt bid to complete a Joint Purchasing Requisition. This informs the State of our anticipated
needs (2,000 tons) and that funding is available for this purchase. We have budgeted $68,500 for FY2004.
Once tabulations are made, the State accepts competitive bids from qualified vendors. The bid for The City of Lake Forest was awarded to North American Salt Company of Overland, Kansas.
Because of the large volume of salt bid by the State, all participating agencies are assured the best possible pricing. The cost per ton for road salt the past nine (9) fiscal years
are as follows:
FY95 $26.26 FY98 $28.54 FY01 $27.37 FY04 $32.09 FY96 $27.04 FY99 $28.54 FY02 $31.48 FY97 $27.55 FY00 $26.83 FY03 $31.48
Recommendation: It is recommended that The City purchase rock salt through the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Agreement for the 2003 – 2004 season.
Recommended Action: Approval of the Consent Agenda items as presented.
