p.m. Last Tuesday afternoon., November 2, 1982, he was informed
by the Chairman of the Pension Board for General Employees that
there had been an unscheduled meeting held in the Village of

the Mayor and they discussed the situation. GJhat seemed to

Village Code, violation of the Stmshine Law, and there was
no notice posted seven days before the meeting, which is re-
~rired by ordinance. It was held in the Village Manager`s
office, with at least one door closed. Thexe were three

the Pension Board, you will notice there is nothing the.
Council can do for misconduct or anything else that the
Board emits, and there is really nothing the Mayor could
do. So Mayor Moore suggested that in Darr disco.+ssion tonight
we decide what we would like to do about the General Employees
