It was proposed that the Villageh share of the publication cost be taken from the budgetdd amount for the Community Center. After some discussion on this point, it was suggested that the budget figure for the Community Center reflect specifically those items which the Board agrees are the Village's obligation to pay - e.g. rent, insurance, etc. The Treasurer of the Association will give a detailed_ presentation of the Association's budget at the next meeting. On matters relating to sewer rental bills the Board acted as follows: 1. To deny Mr. Richard Thaler's request that the Village accept his metered date on the envelope in which he returned his sewer rental payment without penalty charges due, stating that the official post office mark was the only one that the Village would accept and to return to him his check with notice that a penalty charge was due. 2. In the case of Jessie Ripple, who states that while she was visiting Hong Kong her mail had not been forwarded properly and as a result she failed to meet the deadline for sewer rental payment, the Board refused to accept this as an excuse and she is to be notified that the penalty cannot be waived as she requested. 3. Mrs. Louise;Dart, who resides at 89 Graham Road and operates a day care, requests that the charges for two units which she has been paying since 1977 be reduced to one unit on the basis that her property is a single family residenae.

Attorney Sovocool presented a sidewalk memo which, he stated, will serve as a basis for further study on how the Village will handle its sidewalk problems. He cited several options available and referred to the City's ordinance which places responsibility for construction, repair, and maintenance on the abutting property owner. It was his belief that the formation of anumber of sidewalk districts would be impractical due to the costs and legal requirements and would recommend that the entire Village be treated as one district with possible cost sharing by the Village so as not to impose all expenses on property owners. The question of the avgilability of Federal or State funds was raised. Engineer Rogers was instructed to submit a proposal for a sidewalk survey to identify areas of deterioration on a fee basis. In the meantime, a copy of the sidewalk map will be sent to each Board member.
