Attorney McGrath gave the following statement: “The Village of Morton takes seriously any

complaints or allegations that the Village has misspent public funds. A recent Journal Star article

brought attention to complaints brought before this board previously regarding the purchase of

225 E. Jefferson. The Village has thorough internal review procedures in place to ensure that any

expenditure of public funds is made in full compliance with all legal requirements. The Village

disputes any contention that prior expenditures from its tourism fund or from any other Village

funds have been made unlawfully or for any purpose other than serving the best interests of the

residents and businesses of the Village of Morton.”

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS

DPW Loudermilk requested permission to request bids for 2019 water distribution materials.

Trustee Parrott moved to approve. Motion was seconded by Trustee Leman and followed by a

unanimous voice vote.

DPW Loudermilk then requested to waive formal bidding and acceptance of proposal from Sam

Leman Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge Morton for a 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4wd for the

Wastewater Department in the amount of $26,497.00. He noted that although waiving formal

bidding to expedite the process, proposals were solicited and received from the four local

dealers, and Sam Leman was the lowest proposal. Trustee Newman moved to approve. Motion

was seconded by Trustee Parrott and approved with the following roll call vote:

Yes: Belsley, Heer, Newman, Parrott – 4.

No: None.

Abstain: Leman – 1.


DPW Loudermilk introduced Tim Braun with McMahon Group who has been working with the

Village of MortonFISCAL YEAR 2020 – MAY 1, 2019 – APRIL 30, 2020PRELIMINARY BUDGET OVERVIEW

Overall BudgetThe budget for Fiscal Year 2020 for the period of May 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020 is an overall deficit budget of $5.7 million. While the Village strives to maintain balanced or surplus budgets, the upcoming fiscal year will be one where we are required to expend funds in excess of revenues for needed capital improvements, the largest of which is the $7.0 million estimated cost of the biological upgrades to our Water Treatment System. The excess amounts will be drawn from the reserves which the Village has built up over the past years. The Village has always operated in a conservative fashion. We currently have no financial debt and are able to operate with a small number of talented individuals who accomplish a great deal. We provide great services to the citizens of Morton and we are moving forward with our improvements to provide the best services and infrastructure possible.

Capital Improvements ‐ OverallThis Budget includes $13.4 million in Capital Outlay in total. These expenditures are spread among every major fund. The largest items are:

General Fund – $1.9 million in Street Improvement projects and $250,000 for a new ambulance to replace a 2004 unit.

Water & Wastewater Fund – $7.0 million for the biological upgrade to the Water Treatment system.

Stormwater Fund ‐ $543,500 for Stormwater system upgrades. Business District Fund ‐ $425,000 for potential land purchases and

projects including sidewalk replacement and street improvements. Motor Fuel Tax Fund ‐ $1.8 million is budgeted for Salt ($200,000) and

Street Overlay projects of $1.6 million.

Budget Assumptions – General Fund Revenues are budgeted to increase approximately 1.9% over estimated

revenues for our current fiscal year. This is a moderately aggressive increase, but it is in line with the increases seen in recent years.

Total expenses are budgeted to remain fairly stable in comparison to the current year budget.

Budget Assumptions –Water & Wastewater Fund Water & Wastewater Revenues are budgeted to include a 5% increase in

fees to customers. This increase will provide an additional $400,000+ in revenue to begin building a surplus for the anticipated improvements discussed in the facility study.

Expenses for the Water & Wastewater Fund outside of Capital Outlay are expected to decrease slightly. The $7.0 million budgeted for the upgrade in our Water Treatment process increases total expenditures over the current year.

Budget Assumptions ‐ 911 Consolidated Center FundThis fund will report the operating revenues and expenses of the Dispatch Center for Tazewell County Communications Center (TC3) which is housed in the Police Station. 911 CC Fund Revenue will be received in the form of rent from TC3. This

budget is prepared using a rent of $14 per square foot. Negotiations are on‐going with TC3 to set the amount of rent.

911 CC Fund Expenses will be the pro‐rata share of the maintenance and utilities for the space rented.

The remaining amount of rent received minus the operating expenses ($24,000) is budgeted to be transferred to the General Fund as a payment on the cost of construction. This transfer will continue annually for approximately 10 years.

Budget Assumptions – Business District Development & Redevelopment Fund Business District Fund Revenues are anticipated to increase slightly for

the upcoming fiscal year.

Business District Fund Expenditures are expected to increase for Fiscal Year 2020. $200,000 has been budgeted for infrastructure improvements within the Business District, along with $150,000 for potential land purchases and $75,000 for land improvements.

Budget Assumptions – Motor Fuel Tax Fund Motor Fuel Tax revenue is budgeted to remain steady for Fiscal Year 2020. Motor Fuel Tax expenditures for Fiscal Year 2020 will include $200,000 for

salt purchases and $1.6 million for overlay projects. The overlay work budgeted will be significant, but will not bring the Village up to where it should be in its maintenance schedule to avoid the issues seen in other local municipalities.

Following the above expenditures, the MFT Fund will have a remaining balance of approximately $1 million. Future plans for those funds, along with future revenues of $450,000 per year, are: Planned expansion for Courtland St. in 2021 & 2022 of $1.0 million Annual salt purchases of $200,000 Planned expense for Morton’s matching share of the Main & Jackson

intersection revision of approximately $250,000 in the next five years
