6-0 vote in favor of Consent Agenda. No Trustee Voted Nay.

Note: All of the 39 proposed line item budget cuts figure were obtained from the approved Village Board Meeting Minutes from the calendar year 2008. All expenditures in Consent Agenda’s were approved unanimously by the Village Board of Schaumburg were assumed to be general budget expenditures unless stated otherwise by the Village. Not all Village Trustees voted on each consent agenda items as absences occurred.

Due to lack of Village of Schaumburg transparency, in the Case of the Old Schaumburg Center, Schaumburg Airport, Alexian Field, and the Schaumburg Convention Center some of these budget cuts may be redundant to cuts proposed elsewhere by the Schaumburg Freedom Coalition. Our recommendation to the Village Board for full financial transparency have yet to be implemented and hinders the ability for the citizens to engage in a full forensic audit of the Village financials. The Schaumburg Freedom Coalitions recommendation to the Village Board to have full financial transparency would likely result in even more taxpayer savings proposals.
