During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the potential benefits of conducting a Special Census to capture the residential growth in the Village. This initiative could significantly enhance various revenue streams, including income tax, use tax, motor fuel tax, and cannabis tax revenues. The discussion highlighted the importance of accurately reflecting the community's growth to optimize financial resources.

Additionally, the meeting addressed changes in service delivery, particularly in dispatching services. Following the exit of Des Plaines from their intergovernmental agreement (IGA) for dispatching, the Village reassessed its dispatching operations. This led to a strategic decision to transition to Northwest Central Dispatch, which is expected to reduce costs moving forward.

Officials emphasized their commitment to thoroughly analyzing the budget and identifying new revenue sources. They noted that even small expenditures, such as the $25 cost for CPR classes, are being scrutinized as part of a broader effort to ensure financial efficiency and service reimbursement. This meticulous approach reflects the administration's dedication to maintaining high-quality services while managing costs effectively.
