Von Luger group pays up to $12,000.00 annually in ad valorem taxes; 2. 30 days after completion of the design development phase, the Village has the absolute right to cancel the agreement, and the vendor has the right to cancel if the design development drawings are substantially changed from the conceptual drawings; and 3. language will be added regarding proprietary information and trademark. Thereafter, the motion to adopt Resolution 2016 -96 passed unanimously.
