Minutes of the Combined Caucus/Council Meeting 8-13 -07 Page 3 FINANCE - Philin Brett This evening Mr. Brett will be giving to Council as he signs them two Fiscal Officer Certificates in conjunction with the two Ordinances dealing with the Bond Anticipation Notes. There has been a slight change in the Bond Anticipation Notes. They have gone up slightly due to some problems with the Cotton property as far as ultimate use. We switched out the Cotton property with the Kennedy property and will be proceeding with that. We have to then take out the value of the Cotton property and put in tlie value of the Kennedy property. The Village won a grant from NOACA, the Transportation for Livable Communities Planning Grant. We received word about that. There will be an awards ceremony on August 24th at 10:30 a.m. at NOACA. They have asked for the Mayor to be in attendance.

Eunice advised that this is not our- program, it is MCE and we are just publicizing it. Mr. Saponaro stated that it does look like our program because it is on our newsletter. Mr. Saponaro suggested that Eunice indicate that we are not recommending it because reverse mortgages for seniors is not all of what it appears to be.
