Robert Barclay, Feb. 16, 1976 Mr. President, I would like to make a few comments regarding the Mayer°s newspaper. The r~eeting last Tuesday with Mrs. I~Tegrelli and Mayor Beebe was mostly about paper^ lay-out, hy-lines, pictures, method of deliverly, ~cost;s •~.nd writers. Very little was discussed regarding funding of this paper. I think this paper will cost at least ~ 2,000.00 annuallyo Mr. President, I am totally and completely against the Village paying far any costs of this paper. I would much rather see THAT money used in the Service Department and for MORE Police and Fire protection, Mr. President, I think with our new open meeting policy, otherwise knotian as the SUN ,SHINE LAW that interested Villagers need only attend some meetings to become fully aware of whats going onp I also feel very strongly that this paper would only tend to glorify the administration and certain other individualatl Mr. President, I feel the funding of this paper should be decided by the entire Council and not by dust two (2) members of C'ouncal and the Mayor. Mr. President, I feel so strongly against this unnecessary and POSSIBLY ILLEGAL waste of tax payers money that I, as Chairman of the Finance Committee will not recommend for' payment arty and all invoices received by this Village regarding this paper® Mr. President, I WILL NOT INTRODUCE or VOTE FOR ANY PAY ORDTANCE that shows any payment for this paper. Mr. President, I sincerely hope that you and others will not refer to my remarks as threats, so please believe me when I say, TN.uY~.RE RIOT THREATS. ONLY FACTS. Mr. President, at this time if there are no other comments on this matter I would like to request that you cause a roll call vote be taken to determine if the Village shall pay far- this papero Thankyou /~ ~V- Please record this statemer_t Alan G. Bennett in the G.ouncil minutes this date.
