OTHER
Ms. Lankster discussed the customer accounts that continue to have balances over 90 days past due. We resumed sending delinquent notices at the end of August 2020.

Ms. Lankster informed the Trustees that Vallow Floor Coverings will be installing carpet in the three offices this month. They are scheduled to arrive 10/19/2020 and complete the installation by 10/20/2020.
NEW BUSINESS
The Employee Health Insurance will renew on December 1 , 2020. The insurance is currently through BlueCross BlueShield. The agent for the District is Babcock Financial and they researched several comparable options through BlueCross BlueShield and United Healthcare. After reviewing the options, Mr. Murphy stated that he does not like the limited Illinois network option 2, and the other Trustees agreed. Therefore Mr. Hayes stated that the best option is renewing the current plan which has increased 22 percent, but the cost has gone up for all of the options. Mr. Murphy made a motion to renew Option 1, the current Employee Health insurance plan with BlueCross Blue Shield on 12/1/2020. Mr. Sedlacek seconded the motion and all Trustee voted “Aye”.
OPERATIONS
Mr. Dulle discussed Holishor Association preparing to replace the major culvert, at the bottom of the hill on Holiday Point Parkway, at the main entrance to Holiday Shores. A major sewer line runs through that area, and Sanitary District technicians will need to be on site while they are digging, to avoid damage to the sewer line. The work is to begin later this month.

Mr. Murphy made a motion to adjourn the regular meeting. Mr. Sedlacek seconded the motion, and all Trustees voted “Aye”.
