THIRD READINGS
- Appropriation Ordinance: Adding $2,700.00 to the General Fund Budget. The village received a $2,700.00 donation in 2016 to be used towards the former high school marker plaque. This project is set to get underway in 2017 and therefore an appropriation is required. The ordinance is in the same amount as the donation.
- Appropriation Ordinance: Adding $3,721.04 and $1,500.00 to the EMS and Fire budgets respectively. The departments shared the cost of a new AED and received grant proceeds to cover the cost. The EMS and Fire chief have requested these funds be put back in their budgets. The appropriation is in the same amount as the grants.
