Goals and Objectives
1) I'd like to evaluate where our personnel salaries are in comparison
with other municipalities in the county and decide as a council
whether or not they are where we want them to be.
I feel that we demand and expect so much from our staff. We continually
expect them to do more and more, to be multi faceted, to be creative and to
give us the highest quality service at the same time expecting them to be
frugal with their budgeted dollars. This Village is a ~~,~~~arkably well-run
business, primarily because of the exemplary efforts by our staff that are
devoted to making it such an efficient operation.
I want to make sure that our salaries and benefits are competitive and
commensurate with the jobs that we expect them to do. We have some
outstanding employees in the Village and I want to be sure that we keep
them.
I would respectfully request that the Council take a look at this and decide
whether or not they are satisfied with our current salary levels.
2) I'd like to set a goal for the Council to make it a point to accentuate
the positive things that are going on in the Village. We should
complement our staff, our residents and each other when it is deserved
- and I believe that we will have many .,YNOrtunities and reasons to do
that.
3) I'd like to continue to look for grants and alternative sources of
revenue, whenever possible, to help us bring even more enhancements
to our community.
4) I'd like to encourage more open dialogue between the Council
members and the manager, through :discussions between each of us
individually with the manager and workshops to exchange ideas and
information, amongst the five of us and to discuss issues and/or
concerns, that may also help us curtail the amount of time and
resources that are spent on legal assistance.
I believe that we have an abundance of resources that can be used to
gather information and potentially answer many of our questions. This
includes information that we as council members could share with each
other in the proper forum. I believe that it would help us all to grow and
to learn.
5) I look forward to watching the progress of the projects that are on
going as we enter the new fiscal year and I hope we will continue to focus
on more projects that we can do to enhance the Village and make our
residents proud of their community. I want to spend our revenues wisely, in
a manner that will have with the greatest impact that we can have toward
giving our residents the highest level of service and quality of life that we
can reasonably provide.
