1. Village President

   1. Read a proclamation of the AAA Motor Club's "School's Open Safety Week."

2. Village Manager

   1. Manager Allison reported that AMLI would not be ready to move ahead with their development of Pod I in Gregg's Landing, therefore the 2000-2001 Light Show could continue with the same route. The Light Show will have its customary set-up but that only minor work will need to be performed to the Route. More details will be provided as the event is planned. Trustee Cashman asked for clarification of what appears to be an access point s-sw of the greenhouse. Ed Laudenslager noted that this is not an easement but is part of the Cuneo Grounds.

   2. Manager Allison reported that staff had been working on an informational map of the retail environment of the Village. The plan was to use the funds from the Hotel/Motel Tax. He noted that we are looking too piggyback our efforts with the GLMV Chamber of Commerce. The cost of the project is roughly $3,000 per page for advertising space per hotel/entity. Manager Allison was considering one page per hotel with them providing the camera-ready art. President Byrne asked about the possibility of cost sharing. Trustee Ryg offered that the hotels have supported our events and that she is in favor of paying for the whole amount. Trustee Cashman wanted to know if the Village has web links to the hotels. Manager Allison answered that there are web links to the hotels from the Village's web site and that staff will come back to the Board after discussing the project with the hotels and will have the cost to the Village and will seek their approval to move forward.

   3. Manager Allison noted that there was an item on the Omnibus Agenda regarding the change of the contract amount for the Village Hall project. It was his intention to have this item listed under his report but it was inadvertently placed on Omnibus. It is listed as item O. There is a memo that accompanies the change.
