Village Attorney
Attorney Mitchell received an email dated February 4th from Nick Wagner of MSA who still insists that the Village authorized work to be done although no time records have been produced substantiating this claim. CFPS was paid for administering the survey. Mitchell would try to get more clarity on this matter. Morgan was going to see if someone he knows could help Schmitt get the building properly secured. Mitchell is still working on the Treasurer/Reconciler position. No ordinance was necessary for the Franchise Fees.
