2. IT WAS VOTED to approve the mail distribution of the City of Ithaca
mimeographed policy statement on annexation to the Village residents, and the
costs involved. (Copy of the City policy statement is included in the minutes
of this date.)
3. Examination of the Village minutes by the State Auditor failed to
disclose that the office of Police Commissioner had ever been established,
although the minutes indicated the intention of the Trustees to do so under the
term of "Supervisor" of the Village Patrolman. To clear this matter for the
record,
IT WAS VOTED RESOLVED that the Board establish the office of Police Commissioner
of the Village of Cayuga Heights.

IT WAS VOTED that Lowell George be and hereby is appointed Police Commissioner
for the balance of the official year at.a salary rate of $150-.per year pay-
able monthly.
4. The Clerk was directed to check with the Police Patrolman on his car
mileage and expenses and report back to the Board at the next meeting with a
recommendation on a mileage rate basis for reimbursement of his car expenses
while on duty. This is in line with the recommendation of the.State Auditor,
who has disapproved of the current method of payment of a fixed amount for car
expense, unsupported by approved vouchers.

resignation, effective August 319 1954. The Board accepted with regret the
