5. NEW AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. PRESENTATIONS/DISCUSSION
• Technician of the Year
Kane Comm Radio Systems Dir. Michelle Guthrie shared positive words regarding Administrator Andy Baumann who recently won the Technician of the Year award last month at a national conference and acknowledged his resourcefulness to Kane County and to surrounding public safety agencies. A brief video clip followed. Chairman Lauzen congratulated and re-presented the plaque to Mr. Baumann, as Emergency Dispatch Agencies and National Technician of the Year for 2018.
• RTA FY19 Budget Presentation (C. Groven & L. Redden)
Newly elected RTA Board Director, Christopher Groven and Executive Director Ms. Leanne Redden discussed the latest budget figures for the RTA, summarized the transportation system it covers, the financial challenges ahead, and the infrastructure needed. Ms. Redden reported to date, no proposed fair increases were planned for CTA, Pace, and Metra for 2019. Further details followed. Chairman Lauzen provided his own comments about future handicap services and what the legislature will probably require of taxpayers and transit users. He voiced concern about the talk of a Metra extension which he believes Kendall County taxpayers should fund since Kane County constituents currently pay (and have paid for the past 20 years) the RTA taxes for resources Kendall County currently receives but did not pay, believing it should be fair.
• Pace FY19 Budget Presentation (R. Donahue & J. Schielke)
Mr. Rocky Donahue, executive director for PACE, reported the budget was balanced with no fare increases. A review of some recently completed public transit projects followed. Mr. Donahue addressed the agency's financial challenges and its route enhancements and eliminations. Board members inquired about route eliminations and/or reductions. (Wegman steps away 10:14 a.m.)
• Metra FY19 Budget Presentation (S. Messerli)
Metra Director, Steve Messerli, introduced his team, referenced the agency's recently adopted $1.0 billion dollar budget, pointing out that 82% applies to operations and 18% for capital. No fare increases were planned; however more ridership was being promoted. (Wegman returns 10:15 a.m.). Operating costs, fares, and financial challenges, including a shortfall of nearly $1.0 billion dollars, were shared. Capital projects for 2019 included a third railroad track in Geneva, construction in River Forest, a new bridge project over the Fox River in Elgin and improvements to the Aurora Transportation Center. General questions followed.
• Chairman's Short Program
None
B. SPEAKERS (Agenda & Non-Agenda Items)
Mr. Robert Orry extended thanks to Board Members Koppie, Silva, Frasz and Chairman Lauzen for encouraging him to come before the board about the idea to construct three mega hydro-power plants in North Korea in order to provide jobs and infrastructure to the country using U.S. equipment, U.S. workers, U.S. money and U.S. protection. He asked for the board's assistance in getting this matter in front of the President of the United States.
