Vice Mayor Eissey moved to take the advice of the Village Manager and move forward in terms of the Herb Watt Building. Councilman Norris seconded the motion, and all present voted aye. During discussion, it was clarified that the $6,828 required to take the building down would come from the Village Hall renovation account, which has a balance of approximately $34,000. Also discussed was the landscaping issue, the lighting of the parking lot, and the handicap ramp, which also must be funded from the K-Account. Public Services Director Kristine Frazell reported that she has been in contact with several landscaping firms who could help develop a landscaping plan and do the planting. Another option would be to have a plan that Public Services could put in. It was suggested to staff that they look at the Youth Center at First Presbyterian Church as an example of what could be put in at Village Hall. Mr. Redmond asked direction from the Council regarding a request from the Town of Palm Beach regarding a joint funding by 13 communities to conduct a professional review of the Adelphia rate filings.
