2. Public Comments: Ms.
Virginia Wisdom advised the Board that she is tape-recording the meeting. Trustee Tams advised that since we do not have
“Other Business” on the agenda for this meeting, he would like to advise everyone that Representative Connelly is having a kids-day fair on
May 22, from 9 – 12 a.m., at Kennedy Junior High. The fair will feature all yellow equipment, such as tractors,
etc. Everyone is invited. Clerk Tarulis noted that at the last meeting the Board approved supporting
an intergovernmental solution to unsafe pedestrian and bicycle traffic on 79th Street, but that no money was included in the
draft budget. Trustees may want to consider adding approximately $10,000 to the budget to help the Forest Preserve
District, City of Naperville and Naperville Park District to construct a new pathway through the Greene Valley Forest Preserve from
79th and Yackley to the existing trail system in the forest preserve.
3. Approval of Minutes:
Motion by Trustee Klaeren to approve the minutes of the March 10, 2010 Town Board meeting. Second by Trustee
Tams. Voice vote, all in favor, motion passed.
4. Resolution for Early Retirement Incentive
Program: Supervisor Clarke advised that he would not be voting on the ERI Resolution because the legal opinions he
has received are not clear that there is not a conflict of interest, due to the fact that he would be eligible to benefit from the ERI
Program. Trustee Tams questioned the handouts showing the costs and savings to the Township. The
charts show the worst case scenario as costing the Township up to $1.27 million up-front, and up to $1.58 million if paid over 6 years,
with savings up to $168,000 in salary, plus health insurance savings. Trustee Modica said he believes it would not be responsible to pay
over a million dollars in order to save a maximum of $168,000. Trustee Voras said she received a letter from one of the
staff claiming that the employee had been led to believe for many years that the ERI Program would be available.
Motion by Trustee Klaeren to approve the ERI Program with an effective date of May 1, 2010.
Second by Trustee Tams.
