A) RECOGNITION OF ALDERMAN JAMES STEVENSON UPON HIS RETIREMENT AS WARD 2 ALDERMAN
B) APPROVE A POLICE PENSION ACTUARIAL ENGAGEMENT LETTER WITH LAUTERBACH AND AMEN, LLP
Lauterbach and Amen, LLP has provided the City’s actuarial services since 2016 and Staff has been happy with their services thus far. The most recent engagement letter has expired and a new engagement letter for a term of 3 years is included in the packet. The services provided will remain the same, however, there has been a 17% increase ($4,050 to $4,740) between 2021 and 2022. There is a memo in the packet that explains that the cost increases are due to additional actuarial reporting requirements. Staff is requesting the Council approve the engagement letter with Lauterbach and Amen, LLP to provide actuarial services.
C) APPROVE AN ORDINANCE DELETING TITLE 4, CHAPTER 2, GARBAGE, JUNK, AND REFUSE, SECTION 5 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF GENOA
Staff is recommending the deletion of the language in the Municipal Code pertaining to the refuse and recycling rate. Because the City previously provided billing services, the rate was updated in the Code each year to authorize the City to charge residents the rate established. With the most recent Flood Brothers contract, the Contractor began billing and therefore it is no longer necessary to include the rate in the Municipal Code and update it each year. The Council will still approve the refuse and recycling rate through the negotiated contract with each hauler.
D) APPROVE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 3, CHAPTER 3, LIQUOR CONTROL, SECTION 7 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF GENOA
Prairie State Winery has requested to expand their business by selling distilled wine products. Distilling wine creates alcoholic beverages, such as brandy, which typically have a higher alcohol content. The Liquor Commission has met to discuss an amendment to the W Liquor License and has recommended that an “add-on” to the liquor license be created that would allow the sale of distilled wine products in accordance with the liquor code. An ordinance to amend the W Liquor License is included in the packet.
