Ms. Hughes added that the Village received a new contract from Stan’s for the copier on the administration side of the Village and they have added exclusions to the contract of things that they will not cover due to the age of the copier. Ms. Hughes said that she is going to go out for bids for a new copier soon so that she has those numbers to incorporate into next year’s budget.
