Crest Hill 2010: Crest Hill Budget Hearings Update
http://cresthill-illinois.blogspot.com/2010/06/crest-hill-budget-hearings-update.html
Wednesday, June 2, 2010. Crest Hill Budget Hearings Update. The budget hearings these past two nights have been pretty routine, with the tough discussions being put on hold until Tuesday, June 8th. So far most of the presentations have focused on numbers that are being held pretty close to last year's budget with only a few notable exceptions. The real excitement was at the end of Wednesday night's meeting as the Mayor brought up issues related to the city website. Wednesday, June 02, 2010.

Crest Hill 2010: New Library Location Proposed
http://cresthill-illinois.blogspot.com/2010/07/new-library-location-proposed.html
Monday, July 19, 2010. New Library Location Proposed. This proposed location has a number of weaknesses and does not appear to be the best site for the new library. At a minimum a number of issues need to be addressed before the land is rezoned by the city and purchased by the taxpayers of the library district. I think all of these issues need to be addressed and can be addressed before the library project moves forward. The Plan Commission and City Council need to make sure an eager to build library...

Crest Hill 2010: December 2008
http://cresthill-illinois.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 27, 2008. Crest Hill has found yet another way to waste the taxpayers' money. This time I had to look no further than my mailbox. I received vehicle sticker applications for eight vehicles. Of these only two were for vehicles currently owned. . I could even see giving them an extra year in case some people overlooked getting a sticker for one year, but why send for vehicles last registered in 2005 or before? The cost savings would be significant. If the stickers are not e...Public...

Tuesday, July 21, 2009. Efforts to Save Stateville. A financial strategy focused on the State's pocketbook has been a part of every similar long term victory when a city fights a State Department of Corrections. The best the city can hope for with their current strategy is to keep Stateville off the chopping block until the next budget and then fight this battle again, eventually losing. If we are serious about wanting to keep Stateville open then it is time to make a serious effort.

Crest Hill 2010: Quality and Cost of Police Improvements
http://cresthill-illinois.blogspot.com/2009/10/quality-and-cost-of-police-improvements.html
Saturday, October 24, 2009. Quality and Cost of Police Improvements. A good example of this is the promotion of two Deputy Chiefs. City officials pointed out that these were not new employees, but two Lieutenants who were promoted and that their old positions were vacated. Of course, they were given pay raises because they were promoted. What was not addressed was why they needed to be promoted. What do they do that they could not do as Lieutenants? How many additional school visits? Do we just keep givi...

Crest Hill 2010: June 2010
http://cresthill-illinois.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 24, 2010. Looking to the Future. The Crest Hill City Council has still not balanced the current budget, however that has not stopped them from committing to spending money out of future budgets. They apparently feel that it is better to try to bust future budgets instead of fixing the current one. I am all for planning for tomorrow, but those plans should not be how to create future deficits to add to the one we are currently facing. Thursday, June 24, 2010. Wednesday, June 2, 2010.

Crest Hill 2010: November 2008
http://cresthill-illinois.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 17, 2008. The City has been working with Canadian National Railroad to reach an agreement to have the railroad make needed improvements within Crest Hill, if they are approved to purchase the EJ&E tracks. This agreement was approved by the City at tonight's meeting after a number of work sessions and a great deal of communication between the City Attorney and CN. The City Administrator also spent a great deal of time working out this agreement. Monday, November 17, 2008.
