Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, May 21, 2012 - Page 6 Citizen's Advisorv Board - Mr. Marrie reported, we met on the 14'h. Ron Wynne our Finance Director provided a wonderful financial update for the group. We covered our property taxes, , TIF revenue disbursements, our capital expenditures as well as our debt and our reserves. I might comment publicly that he received an awful lot of wonderful comments from the group for his ability to be explaining this kind of financial information where everybody can understand it without any problems. Kudos to Ron. A Council report was given. Diane discussed the Community Partnership on Aging which Bill covered a little bit before. We also talked about the demolition of the old City Hall and what it might look like. A couple of questions came up on the No Solicitation policy. Chief, if you could, maybe the next time you do your coluxnn for the Voice of the Village you can remind people that we do have a No Solicitation policy and signs are available? It was a real surprise that quite a few people didn't know it. If you could just put a little thing in there that would help I think. Thank you.

Eventually it will look nice if it will just rain. We need rain to get the dust down. Also, we had a Board meeting this afternoon. A decision was made not to move the flower stand that belonged to the Hejcl fanuly mainly because of the cost and the condition of the building plus refurbishing it. We just didn't think that we should spend that kind of money. We are trying to be frugal about what we are doing. We have other projects that we are trying to get ahead of the game like putting a new roof on maybe in three years. It was unanimously voted not to move the building.
