Report of the Treasurer - Treasurer Silber presented part of his report due to the
shortened meeting. The Abstract of Vouchers was presented. The Treasurer answered
questions regarding many items on the Abstract, one of which was by Trustee Szekely
asking about legal services. At this point in the year, the Village has spent 96% of its
allocated budget for legal services. Treasurer Silber stated that the Trustees need to
delineate general legal vs. labor negotiations. Mayor Gilmore asked how can we separate
out the deer expenses. The Treasurer answered that deer expenses are mixed in with
general legal expenses. Trustee Bors said that the ZBA expenditure is new because it is
not typical to have a lawyer present at ZBA meetings. Treasurer Silber explained how the
Village is getting billed now vs. how it was billed with a retainer under Miller Mayer.
Comment was made that we have to continue to monitor the bills – hourly vs. retainer.
