Village Manager's Report
- Request from Library for additional seed money to support the new Library construction project. Responding to Trustee direction after the January 8 meeting, the Library
informed the Board that it would be borrowing the needed seed money from its own reserve funds --
to be repaid when the bonds for construction are purchased. President Cummings clarified that this is not a violation of the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA)
or an increase in expenses for the new Library. Instead, it is a cash-flow issue.
