VILLAGE MANAGER REPORT
Village Manager Doug Smith reported that beginning January 155, the fee for independent
contractors employed by the Recreation Department will be 30% instead of 20%. He further
reported that the marina decals will be $50 effective January 1, 2004. Any person coming in for
a decal between now and the first of the year will pay $25. The Council, by consensus, agreed to
the start date of January ls`.
Additionally, the $5.00 restaurant credit will change to $4.00, and this will be effective next
April. What was advertised in the past year will be carried over through November l4`", and the
new credit will be included in the new advertising cycle for the upcoming summer specials. The
Council was in agreement with the April start date.
Mr. Smith reminded the Council that an amendment to HR Management Partners contract had
been previously approved for the purpose of allowing HRMP to review and update the Village
Personnel Rules and Regulations. Mr. Smith stated he would give them notice to proceed, but a
small budget amendment would be required, since Mr. Smith had to use some of the funds for
other purposes. Most of the funding is encumbered. The Council, by consensus, authorized Mr.
Smith to give notice to proceed.
Discussion was held concerning another rate increase by Adelphia Cable. It was noted that the
franchise ordinance requires certain things to be done by Adelphia if they have a rate increase,
including official notice to the Village. Further, Council has the right to hold a Public Hearing
and require Adelphia to explain the increase. It was suggested that Council write a letter of
objection, and demand that they comply with the ordinance.
The issue of requesting a bulk rate for the Village will be placed on the next workshop agenda.
