PRESIDENT'S REPORT
President Przybylo stated that he has been involved in Niles government since 1987 when the philosophy of Niles government, simply stated, was to deliver the best quality and progressive services at the lowest possible cost. At this time, he is concerned about the effect that COVID-19 will have on the Village's economy and that the Village's reserves will be drawn down. President Przybylo addressed the new Police Parking Facility on tonight's agenda, and agrees a new garage is needed; however, he feels that a less expensive, smaller garage will do the same as a more expensive, larger garage and is recommending using the cost difference of $1.5 million for capital improvements. In closing, he stated that these COVID-19 times call for fiscal responsibility and he asked the Board to vote no on the proposed Police Parking Facility.
