The Mayor responded that any trustee who can attend is welcome at any time. Mr. Galella asked about the firing range bid and why we hired someone to help us apply for grants. The Mayor responded that the bid for the firing range was much too high so we do not have to accept it. To hire someone for a small amount of money to help us get a great deal in grants is a very wise decision for the village.
