Roll Call: Kellogg-yes, Tolby-yes, Richards-yes, Wolf-yes, Bolln-yes. Ann does not need the employee insurance provided through the Village; she has her own. Ann will start Monday January 26, 2015
Chairman Kellogg asked if there were any questions from the audience. Charlie Redding asked about the police ad in the paper that states 100% paid family insurance. He wanted to know if the Village paid for the whole family because some places only pay for just the employee. The Village does not have a retirement plan so the 100% paid family insurance is offered.
