Trustee Pflaum mentioned several items have been purchased such as trucks, printers, tablets and Locis modules. Trustee Pflaum commented that she did agree on the previous purchases, but the Board is spending taxpayers’ money and thought may need to possibly step back and/or reign in on spending as the village has asked customers to pay a $2.00 fee. Trustee O’Dell agreed and Trustee Pipher mentioned dealing with what we have. Mayor Kessler said duly noted.

Trustee Pipher asked about backup done by Locis (when updated to Locis 8) and why continuing to have Kemper providing a back. Village Clerk said she would check into this.
