Regular Council Minutes 6-16-03 Page 7 ~_~ Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mr. Marrie, made a motion to authorize an expenditure in the amount of $8,236.00 to Sanderson CMI (for replacement of the main computer in the Finance Department including software for the operating system). Dr. Parker questioned if this includes aone-year warranty/maintenance also (because it didn't say that on there.) Mr. Brett said on the hardware; yes.

It also gave to the Village a way to earmark dollars rather than just throwing it into a so-called "General Fund". We felt this way if taxpayers had any questions about where the money is going, we'd always be able to identify it. Over the years we've become very aware that the school definitely utilizes that fund. It is something that, thankfully, has gotten a lot of good play. But I would like to sort of raise everyone's attention to the thought that maybe next year we look to revisiting some type of project trying to focus those dollars more specifically. With Center School, we basically funded the lab. We basically at that time had gotten grant dollars and it was a great way of packaging, leveraging those dollars; it worked out very well. The other thing is it goes to the
