Mayor McDowell called the meeting to order at 6:00pm for the purpose of a strategic planning
meeting to discuss and consider the proposed budget for all corporate purposes for The City of
Canton, Fulton County, Illinois in lieu of an appropriation ordinance for the fiscal year beginning
May 1, 2022 and ending April 30, 2023.
Comptroller Beka Schultz explained that different versions of the budget have been sent out and
modified as additional information is received from various department heads and agencies that
have requested money. After the most recent revisions were made to the budget, the budget
currently has a surplus of $68,730.00. Changes were made to the TIF 3 costs, money was added
for a potential demolition, updates were made for the collective bargaining agreements, changes
were made for distribution of salaries from the general fund, the leachate revenue was re-
evaluated and an increase was made in the budget. The quote received from Otis for the elevator
was also included in the revised budget. The total quote from Otis is in the amount of
$109,989.00. The city will have 30 days to lock in the rate. The quote would be brought to the
April 19, 2022 council meeting for approval. Mayor McDowell said that he would like to take
$45,000.00 from the cannabis funds to be used toward the cost. Once the modernization is
completed the elevator should last another 30-35 years. Beka will send out an updated version
of the budget for everyone’s review.
No additional comments were made.
Mayor McDowell adjourned the meeting at 6:08pm
