NILES PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Trustees in war of words over election BY IGOR STUDENKOV Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers nweditor@buglenewspapers.com
It was an evening of fond farewells and bitter recriminations during the April 19 Niles Public Library Board of Trustees meeting. It was the last meeting for Trustee Barbara Nakanishi, who chose not to run for re-election after 14 years on the board. It was also the last meeting for Trustee Rob Breit who
wasn’t able to keep the seat he was appointed to fill, coming in third in a race for two open seats. But while the meeting began with the board honoring Nakanish for her service, the end of the meeting saw an angry back and forth, as trustees Karen Dimond and Tim Spadoni accused trustee Carolyn Drblik of spreading false information while campaigning for winning candidate Dean Martin. Spadoni took particular umbrage
in some of the language, taking it as a personal insult. While Drblik acknowledged that some statements were inaccurate, she stood by the overall tenor of her letter, saying Martin had experience and perspective the majority of the board lacked.
Nakanishi was originally appointed to the board Aug. 20, 2003. She won her first election in 2005, and was re-elected in 2011. An architect by profession, she took keen interest in the 2013 library renovations. Nakanishi described making the library a great resource for patrons a major priority, as well as doing right by the library staff. She was one of the trustees who called for the library to switch from
a 401(k) style retirement system to an Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund pension plan. To celebrate Nakanishi’s service on the board, board President Linda Ryan presented her with an honorary resolution and a Key to the Library. “[Library Director Susan Lempke and I] would like to honor the way you should be honored,” she said.

COVER STORY >> CITY OF PARK RIDGE
Maloney gives the State of the City address Mayor promises community development in address BY IGOR STUDENKOV Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers nweditor@buglenewspapers.com
Two weeks after he was elected mayor of Park Ridge, Marty Maloney gave the State of the City address half an hour before the April 17 city council meeting. This was his second address and the last address he gave as an acting mayor; he will be sworn in as a fullfledged mayor on May 1. Maloney said that community development and infrastructure improvement will be major priorities for the city, as would the efforts to make Park Ridge more walking and biking
friendly, and encourage environmental sustainability practices. And while Maloney readily acknowledged that the city still faces many challenges, he felt that, overall, it was heading in the right direction. Maloney opened his speech by thanking Acting City Manager Joe Gilmore and Acting Finance Director Andrea Lamberg, who had to fill those positions for several months longer than the city council originally expected. Under the state law, a new city manager couldn’t be hired for longer than a mayor’s term – which, in this case, meant until April 2017 election. Maloney took the time to hon-
or Ald. Daniel Knight (5th), who passed away late last year, as well as Charlie Melidosian, who was appointed to replace him. “We were able to fill Dan’s position with Charlie, who’s done a great job of hitting the ground running since we appointed him a couple of months ago,” the mayor said. “I couldn’t be happier and prouder to serve on the city council with him.” As Maloney saw it, the fact that voters re-elected all but one incumbent meant that they were happy with the current leadership. With that in mind, he said reinvesting in the city was a major priority. “[Fiscal Year 2018 budget] actually has us reinvesting in infrastructure and personal,” Maloney said. “Those are two areas where we were forced to cut back because of the challenges the [Uptown] TIF and the economy presented. But while we’re not out of the woods as far as TIF is concerned, we’re turning the corner and we’re gaining ground.” He noted that the Illinois Department of Transportation is repaving Talcott Road, which he was happy about, but his major objective would be to get the state to do more. “We need to be present and continue to make our case, because getting Talcott done is fantastic, but Touhy [Avenue] needs work, and so does Devon [Avenue],” Maloney said. We can’t afford to be complacent - there’s just too much work to do.” He went on to say that he was happy with the economic development that took place in two major Park Ridge commercial areas. “I’m proud of the progress we made in the past two years in economic development,” Maloney said. “We filled empty stores, we brought more traffic to Uptown and South Park, and we haven’t had to sell our soul to anyone to make it work.” He acknowledged that economic development had a price – increased traffic, and with it, parking issues – but he said that the city is working on that. “We’ll see the solutions coming back over the next few weeks, the next few months, that speak to those [issues],” Maloney said. And he said that the city is considering making a small change to what has become one of Park Ridge’s biggest public events – the Grilling for the Arts fundraiser, which late mayor David Schmidt started, and which Knight champi-
oned. “[We will] continue a tradition that Dan and Dave began,” Maloney said. “We may rename it, ever so slightly, to honor those gentlemen, but the intent will be the same - raise money for this great cause.” Overall, the mayor said that it goes back to the guiding principles that he and the rest of the city council follow. “That goes back to another message voters sent a few weeks ago, and it revolves around HITA - Honesty, Integrity, Transparency and Accountability,” Maloney said. “HITA works, HITA makes sense, and people appreciate our approach to governing - so much that they want to see it continue in other areas of Park Ridge, the other branches of government and other taxing bodies.”
City Council OKs Fiscal Year 2018 budget Park Ridge City Council voted unanimously to approve the budget for the next fiscal year during its April 17 meeting. While most of the funds wound up with deficits, Ald. John Moan (1st), who chairs the city council’s Finance and Budget Committee of the Whole, said that it was still a step in the right direction. And according to the budget documents, some of those deficits emerged because of important expenses. The city will be spending more on water main and sewer repairs, as well as investments in its fire and police departments. In his statement to the council, Moran outlined several major changes. The budget assumes an 8.14 percent to the city’s property tax levy, which, he said, would save taxpayers $1.8 million. It allocates enough money to hire two more police officers. The Park Ridge Fire Department will get funds to purchase a rescue SUV and hire three paramedics. Departments of Finance and Community Development will get software upgrades in order to “improve interactions with residents.” The Motor Fuel Tax Fund budget will have a deficit of $132,390. Moran said that the budget increases funds for road repair and replacement by 22 percent. The Water Fund and Sewer Fund will have the deficits of $418,552 and
$1,016,453. The budget increases funding for water repairs by 25 percent and sewer lining budget by 50 percent. The budget also allocates more money to address maintenance issues in various city-owned properties. Moran said that, while there are still issues that need to be addressed, he felt that the city was on the right track. “We finally seem to have a stable financial foundation that will enable us to address those issues and improve the quality of life for residents of Park Ridge,” he said. The alderman thanked Acting City Manager Joe Gilmore as well as the heads of other departments He also paid tribute to Ald. Daniel Knight (5th), who chaired the finance committee over the last six years and died after a battle with cancer late last year. “[Knight] would have been very proud to see how this process has played out and the major improvements being made that benefit the residents of Park Ridge,” Moran said. The city council unanimously approved the budget in two combined motions – one for the items that required a simple majority and one that required a super-majority.
Redevelopment of former site concerns residents Residents in the area around a tree-filled lot at 819-825 Busse Highway expressed concern about possible redevelopment during the April 17 Park Ridge City Council meeting. Speaking on behalf of a group of residents that came to the meeting, Rob Bowe, of 808 Shibley Avenue, said that this was more than just a piece of land to them. It has become an unofficial neighborhood park, where their families come to play – and they worry that any new development could disrupt it. The city officials confirmed that the land has recently been sold, but the new owner hasn’t given them any indication as to what they might be planning.

TRUSTEES FROM PAGE 1 “It’s been a real honor to serve the residents of the village of Niles, and be an advocate for all,” the retiring trustee said. “It’s been a lot of fun, and mostly not scary, but it’s time for me to move on.” The couple told the Bugle that they planned to visit Japan in a few weeks. Ryan also thanked Breit for his service on the board. “Even thought it’s been eight months, I appreciate your insight and your contributions,” she said. As the meeting wound down two hours later, Trustee Karen Dimond, spoke out against the letter Drblik distributed to voters on election day. In a letter, a copy of which Drblik provided to the Bugle, stated that the 2015 election created a “the current disastrous controlling library broad of trustees who lack experience, knowledge, fiduciary responsibility and accountability to the taxpayers,” and described Martin as “the only qualified Library Trustee candidate” due to his business and project management experience. It also stated that the board voted 6-1 to purchase new signage and 6-1 to provide passport services in the library, but, as Dimond noted, no such votes actually took place. The
THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 2017 | BUGLENEWSPAPERS.COM library did vote to go out to bid for new signage and to file an application with the U.S Department of State to become a passport agency during the April 19 meeting, two weeks after the election day. As Dimond put it, she was alarmed that the letter containing untruths may have swayed the election, adding that, while she was willing to give Martin a chance, she hoped he wouldn’t go down the same path. Drblik responded that the vote figures were “an error,” but said that she stood by the letter’s characterization of the current board, and reiterated that she saw Martin as the only qualified candidate. “So Rob is not qualified?” Spadoni asked. “Rob is a teacher,’ Drblik replied. This triggered a furious backand-forth between the two trustees, with Spadoni saying that Drblik did nothing but complain, and, if she was so unhappy with the board, she should leave. Drblik retorted that she would leave, but she felt that she had a duty to the taxpayers to stay, because she saw herself as the only voice for responsible spending. Ryan interjected, arguing that there was room for disagreement on the board, but only to a point.
“If you stand by the board, you stand by the board no matter what the decision is,” she said. Ultimately, she wound up ending the discussion by calling for a closed session to approve closed session minutes. After the board returned from closed session, she tried to steer the focus to something positive. “I want to thank both of you from the bottom of my heart,” Ryan told Nakanishi and Breit. “Godspeed.” And with that, Nakanishi made a motion to adjorn the meeting, with Breit seconding.
Library board approves tweaked logo design, more signage After considering three possible logo designs, the Niles Library Board of Trustees chose the one most similar to the current logo. As previously reported by the Bugle, on Feb. 15, the board approved changing the library’s name to Niles-Maine District Library. The change will take effect on July 1. The new name called for a new logo. Sasha Vasilic the library’s Public Relations and Marketing Supe-
rior, explained, said that the current logo and color scheme was introduced following the 2013 buildingwide renovations, and there haven’t been any changes since. One option – letters NM in front of skyline-like stripes that used library color scheme, with the full name underneath – was quickly rejected, leaving two options. The first logo was similar to the post-2013 logo, except with the new library name and the new library mission statement – Engage, Inform, Enrich, Educate - added in smaller font underneath. The second logo had lower-case acronym ”mndl” in library colors, with the full name written out underneath in smaller letters and the mission statement written further down in even smaller letters using the same colors as the acronym. As Vasilic explained, the second logo was meant to be more branding-orientated, similar to Amazon.com or FedEx logo. Departing trustee Barbara Nakanishi said she preferred the first logo, but she suggested taking a cue from the second logo and making each goal a different color. The other trustees quickly agreed. Nakanishi also raised another issue. “Aren’t you afraid people are go-
3
ing to say – ‘what’s a mindle?,’” she said. Trustee Tim Spadoni also said he preferred the first. “[The second logo] – it brings to mind a youth department and the children’s department,” he said. Trustee Carolyn Drblik said she liked the second. “I think the color is awesome, and the ‘library’ [part of the logo] stands out,” she said. After further discussion and taking the straw polls of trustees and staff, the board agreed to go with the first one, at least for the time being. They felt that changing both the name and the logo too drastically might be too much for patrons – but they may consider going with something like a second option a few years down the line, when the new name has a chance to catch on. The board also voted to go out to bid for new library signage. In addition to the revamped sign at the southwest corner of the library’s front parking lot, the project calls for the new sign on the front of the building, between the entrance and the tower, a sign on the side of the building that faces Oakton Street, a sign on the north side of the building, and two smaller signs by parking lot entrances.

COMMUNITY BULLETIN
Morton Grove police marking Distracted Driver Awareness Week In support of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police (ILACP) asked the Governor of the State of Illinois to declare April 24 through 28 as Illinois Distracted Driving Awareness Week in an effort to bring attention to the dangers and consequences associated with driving distracted. Governor Rauner issued the proclamation and both houses passed resolutions. The ILACP, in partnership with AAA, and supported by the Illinois State Police, SafetyServe.com, the National
Safety Council, the Illinois Insurance Association, almost 300 law enforcement/fire agencies and supporters from the private sector throughout Illinois, will work together during this week to educate motorists on all aspects of distracted driving. This campaign will also include the enforcement of applicable State distracted driving laws. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA): 3,477 people were killed and an estimated 391,000 injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers in 2015. That is a 9-percent increase in fatalities as compared to the previous year. 10 percent of fatal crashes, 15 percent of injury crashes, and 14 percent of all police reported motor vehicle crashes
in 2015 were reported as distraction affected crashes. Texting while driving has become an especially problematic trend among millennials. Young drivers, 16 to 24 years old, have been observed using handheld electronic devices while driving at higher rates than older drivers since 2007. It’s time to drop the double standard on distracted driving - the dangers are real. According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety: In analyzing 2009-2012 data, that even while more than 8 in 10 drivers believed it completely unacceptable for a motorist to text or e-mail behind the wheel, more than a third of those same respondents admitted to reading text messages while driving.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The Niles Library held its first board meeting since the recent invigorating election. The library trustees and administration brought their “A” game to the April 19 board meeting. Stepping up to handle long-awaited tasks, Trustee Spadoni announced that effective that evening, he would read the Treasurer’s Report. High school outbursts such as “bite me” from Trustee Rozanski were also silenced. After several months of my repeated requests for the costs associated with the Niles Library becoming a Passport Agency, Susan Lempke finally revealed details at the 4/19 board meeting. It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete an application. The employee’s salary for processing passports will be $20 per hour which includes benefits. The library will be paid $25 for each passport processed. Susan Lempke anticipates a sizable profit for the library. Should this profit not be realized, the library will be able to seize being a Passport Agency. Director Susan Lempke and Board President Linda Ryan have once again denied my request for information. In order to prepare for the future staff raises process, I requested the salaries and benefits of each employee. It was denied. While my request for pie charts to share with the board was considered too time consuming, no alternative format for this information was suggested by the administration or board. More shocking then their repeated denial of an elected official’s request for information are the reasons verbalized by the board members. Trustee Ryan stated something that large of an ask should be brought to the board and in front of the community. Trustee Ryan further stated a trustee’s request cannot take more than five minutes for staff to provide. Trustee Dimond stated questions should be simple, like I forgot when the Board Meeting is. Trustee Nakanishi stated, this isn’t a question, it is an assignment.(1) Director Susan Lempke stated it is up to the President to determine the feeling of the board. According to Linda Ryan the decision to deny my request for information was the consensus of the board.(2)
As of the March 31, 2017 Income Statement (Consolidated), Library salaries are $2,401,695(3) and fringe benefits are $2,609,145(4) for a total of $5,010,840. This is 73.6% of our $6,800,000 annual budget.(5) No other trustee was interested in reviewing employees’ salaries and benefits, yet, I was denied receiving this information. In order to make responsible decisions, it would be beneficial for trustees to be informed of the massive details that comprise our current $6,800,000 budget. This could be accomplished thru trustee requests for specific details.(6) Or, the administration could automatically provide specific details of the 2016-17 budget outcomes by department of their performance and results, along with the 2017-18 budget requests by department. Providing information rather than withholding information will better serve trustees in making sound, justifiable decisions which benefit everyone. Operating budgets from departments were due March 7 which could include such details. The swearing in date for elected Trustees Dennis Martin and Diane Olson is May 17. Trustees Barbara Nakanishi and Robb Breit were honored for their dedication and service. All Niles Library taxpayers are urged to attend the Special Board Meeting for review of the 2017-2018 Budget on Wednesday, April 26 at 7:15 p.m. Your input, complaints and suggestions are extremely valuable and necessary as we strive to develop an agreeable budget among taxpayers and trustees.

We only have two starters back from last year and we knew it would be a little bit of a struggle. We are hoping by the end of the season, we are where we need to be.” What has made the season promising and frustrating at the same time is that Maine South is competitive in many matches before falling at the end. “It has been a struggle,” Granell said. “We have been in a lot of matches, but we haven’t won a

We went three with New Trier, but just couldn’t get them. “We are taking or lumps now and hopefully learning some lessons to make a run at the end of the season.” Granell said the South hitters are talented if they can get the pass and set right to feed the hitters. “Our middle, Paul Rzepniewski is easily our best player,” Granell said. “He is a D-I recruit and then we have a couple good pin hitters in Nick Sremac and Richie Hoff.

cent from the field, including 38.1 percent three-point shooting in 24 games. “I’ve gone through a lot of ups and downs both in school and basketball-wise. Coming to Oakton, I just felt that my best shot was to keep up with school, stay on the court and try my best,” Beckford said. “Now, I feel like I’ve accomplished something,

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS
Choose Roth IRAs over adding to pension DEAR DAVE, My wife and I are both 25 years old, and we’re working on Baby Steps 4, 5 and 6. I have a 401(k) through my employer, and she has a pension. Currently, we’re falling short of the 15 percent of income you advise putting toward retirement. Should we get IRAs, or start stocking money away in her pension? JOHN DEAR JOHN, I wouldn’t put money into a pension. For one thing, when you die after putting money into a pension, in most cases it dies with you. Number 2, when you put money into a pension, you’re going to get about a six percent rate of return in the current environment — maybe even as low as five percent. You’re not making much on it while you’re alive, so I don’t advise putting money in pensions. We let employers put money in pensions, if they want to. That’s a nice benefit, but I wouldn’t add to it.
I would do a couple of Roth IRAs, and max those out. Then, max out whatever you’ve got at work that you own. Of course, when you’re vested in a pension, you own it. That much is true. But still, I don’t advise adding to pen-
sions, buying years up, or any of those kinds of things. There are a few examples out there where that kind of thing works mathematically to your benefit, but they’re very hard to find. Out of all the years I’ve been in this business, I can count on two hands the number of times I’ve seen it work out. So no, I wouldn’t do more with a pension where you add to it yourself, especially at such a young age. DEAR DAVE, I’m new to you and your plan. Why do you want people to pay off the debt with the smallest balance first, instead of the one with

the highest interest rate? COURTNEY DEAR COURTNEY, Simply put, because personal finance isn’t all about math. Personal finance is only about 20 percent math. The other 80 percent is behavior. We list debts in the debt snowball in order of the smallest to the largest balance, putting as much as possible toward the smallest while paying the minimum payments on the others. The reason, as I mentioned earlier, is behavior modification. It helps you see yourself making a dent in your debts. It’s easier to change bad habits
when you see quick results from your efforts to eliminate negative behaviors. Paying off the smallest debts first, instead of the debts with the highest interest rates, will give you quick wins that will help keep you motivated. It provides proof that you can succeed and become debt-free! —DAVE * Dave Ramsey is CEO of Ramsey Solutions. He has authored seven best-selling books, including The Total Money Makeover.
