Questions and Concerns • Trustee Rainey: Is this only a half budget? Yes it is. • Trustee Grover: Does the Ordinance we have in the packet reflect a six month budget? Yes it does. • Has the Township Officials looked at some of the cost saving issues that Ms. Earl suggested to run the Township more efficiently for the remainder of the budget year? Township Supervisor Vance stated there were expenses that were spent to date in regard to the proposed cost savings. She stated there were some questions and issues that have not been addressed and she need to sit down with the Gity to discuss those issues. • Trustee Grover: Are there specific ones that we should definitely pursue? Supervisor Vance: the only ones possible are: IT and storage. • Trustee Grover: What do you calculate the cost savings could be? Supervisor Vance: I have not calculated as of yet what the cost savings could be. • Trustee Holmes: stated these cost saving issues should be incorporated into the next year's budget and if there could be found some changes the budget could be amended. Supervisor Vance: stated because something is budgeted you don't go out and spend it all and the budget can be amended. • Trustee Rainey: stated the only way the Trustees can affect the spending of the Township is to reduce the amount in the Town Fund, and that the Supervisor has the authority to spend money anyway she sees is a responsible fit. What do you have in storage? Supervisor Vance: We are required by Law to store all of our records such as accounting, and clients, and those records are destroyed on a regular basis. • Trustee Grover: Am I clear that the budget we signed off on was last year's budget not the proposed budget.

Mr. Bobkiewicz then asked if the Board would direct the staff to continue working on the process and then come back in a month with a follow-up, and to direct the Mayor to send the letter to Jeff Schoenberg. Trustee Rainey: stated we should rethink this letter because it is confusing, why would we need a Township Supervisor or Assessor if we are going to dissolve it.
