And, in discussing the 2013 budget, aldermen discovered a new twist in the Prairie Path underpass project.
Elmhurst City Council members took their first swipe at the fiscal year 2013 budget Monday, an eight-month fiscal year that ends on Dec. 31. Aldermen decided last year to move to a calendar fiscal year, which is the reason for the May-December budget cycle. Aldermen will go through the budgeting process again at the end of 2013, in parallel with determination of the 2014 tax levy, as the city transitions to the 2014 fiscal-year beginning Jan. 1.

Aldermen also will hear an update on ComEd, the 2013 budget will be distributed, and a new way to save money on commodities is proposed.
Among other business on Tuesday, Feb. 19, Elmhurst City Council members will likely send a proposal put forth by aldermen Steve Morley, Pat Wagner and Robert Dunn to the Finance Committee for further review. The plan would "utilize a progressive procurement model in the future purchase of commodities" to reduce expenditures, according to a press release from the three aldermen. The proposal would allow Elmhurst to use reverse on-line auctions in the procurement of goods. Pre-qualified vendors bid against each other to compete for the opportunity to get the purchase contract. Bidding begins with a pre-determined price equal to that provided for by competitively bid state purchase contracts, and from there, individual vendors can voluntarily…
