President Pro Tem Mundt moved that we move from the workshop
agenda the items which are the bid award on fill dirt and the
bid award on Winter Club demolition to our regular agenda.
Councilman Moore stated that there is no way in the world that
we can move those from the workshop agenda to the regular agenda
because it is next year`s budget item -- there is no money
appropriated this year -- and there can be no approval one way
or the other tonight.
Vice Mayor Marks passed the gavel to President Pro Tem Mundt
and seconded-the motion, and stated he would suggest that it
can be moved for discussion and it can be voted on tonight.
It could be under a different type of approval.

President Pro Tem Mundt stated he would withdraw his motion
because we have so many people in the Village who have made
an effort to come here this evening. Unfortunately, I wish
Mr. Moore would give us the opportunity to find out whether
the motion is acceptable and is a legal motion, but he won't
give us that opportunity so I will withdraw the motion and we will
go ahead with the other business of the Village this evening.
' Vice Mayor Marks withdrew his second.
Councilman Moore then stated that Vice Mayor Marks might ask
the Village Attorney at this time if you can approve a resolu-
tion to spend money which has not been appropriated and, if
you can't, then there is no need to have a motion on the floor.
Vice Mayor Marks replied that he would not discuss that with
Councilman Moore at this point. He stated it is permissible,
it can be appropriated from Council Contingency or other funds
for this year if it is the desire that we do that.
Councilman Moore replied that it can be appropriated from
Council Contingency, but it will take two meetings to read
it and to get it appropriated, so it still puts you into
October.
' Vice Mayor Marks replied that we are not going to argue with
you, Mr. Moore. Councilman Moore replied that there isn't
any argument if you want to ask the Village Attorney.
