The purpose of the Special Workshop was to provide the Village Council with an overview of the
financial condition of the Village and the needs of the various departments in the upcoming budget.
Priorities include underground gas tanks which must be removed, sidewalk replacement, street paving
and truck replacement in Public Services, new model vehicles in the Public Safety Department and air-
conditioning for the library. One suggestion offered as to how to lower expenses was to reduce garbage
pickup from the customary 5 days per week.
Finance Director Shaukat Khan gave an analysis of the proposed budget, which, if millage is not
increased, will have a deficit of $750,278.
The Village Council budget sessions begin on July 19, and are scheduled through July 29`x'. The
meeting adjourned at 6:32 p.m.
