Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the board voting on a contract that has already been signed?
The resolution is a 'ratification,' which is a formal process to confirm and give legal effect to an action taken by the Village Manager in an emergency situation.
What happens if the repairs cost less than $35,000?
The $35,000 figure is a '' limit, meaning the village will pay the actual cost of the repairs up to that amount.
