Mr. George Stoll, of the Lake County Taxpayer's I
Association, stated that his organization had presented a petition to Trustee
Blumenthal requesting a 25% cut in the corporate fund in the coming budget, and
that they had received no.response. President pro tem Heisler pointed out that only
the Village Clerk is empowered to accept such a petition and that the Corporate
Authorities and the Village Clerk had been previously advised by the Village Attorney
that such a petition could not legally be received and placed on the ballot because
the petition called for a reduction in the maximum tax rate and Deerfield, being a
home rule municipality, has no legal maximum tax rate. As a result, no further
action on the petition would be forthcoming. A general discussion followed.
President Pro Tem Heisler stated that he and the other members of the Board would be
i
delighted to work with the LCTPA in the.one realistic way open to everyone and
that this is to reduce the budget. The Corporate Authorities would be glad to
meet with'anyone, any where in this effort.

Trustee Seidman, the meeting was adjourned at 10:10 P.M.
