4. Trustee Aktipis stated that he had raised issues at the Committee -of -the -Whole
meeting where the budget was discussed and wanted to reiterate his concerns
regarding this budget since he intended to vote against the adoption of the 2007
Budget. He iterated his concern that the budget was an optimistic budget because he
felt projections had been made based on overestimating revenues and
underestimating expenditures. He felt that this might put the Village in financial
difficulties several years down the road. In addition, he felt that the Board was
proposing a number of programs without having funds available and would raise
taxes and impact the business community in order to complete those programs. He
also had concerns for the prioritization that discontinued certain programs while
others were added.
Motion by Trustee Kennedy, seconded by Trustee Sanford, to adjourn the Public
Hearing at 7:27 p.m. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.
