JODI MAY, TRUSTEE
Ms. May discussed having Siepert itemize their invoices for the Village with the Committee. Ms. May inquired if the Village didn’t budget enough funds for the Village Treasurer because if the billing continues the way it has, the Village will be over budget. Mr. Hildebrandt stated that there was a lot of transition and learning the process so those months were probably a little heavier. Ms. May requested that Mr. Hildebrandt submit invoices similar to C.E.S. and the village attorney that entails breaking down their services. Mr. Hildebrandt said that he could provide whatever the Village would like as far as details go. Mr. Winters inquired if Mr. Hildebrandt is doing any work that the Village could be doing internally. Mr. Hildebrandt stated that he would have to think about that more, but that some bank reconciliations haven’t been coming out like they should.
