Council members for their review and consideration. Mr. Couzzo indicated that the Finance
Director, Patricia Varney, and the Assistant Village Manager/Public Works Director, Tom
Benton, were present to answer questions.
Mayor Imburgia asked why the information was provided on a yearly basis even though the plan
was a five year plan. Mrs. Varney and Mr. Couzzo both indicated that the five year plan is
submitted for planning and forecasting/budgeting purposes. The five year plan allows both
Administration and the Council to view future capital expenditures.
Mrs. Ross Agosta asked about the marketing department's exclusion from the five year capital
plan. Mr. Couzzo stated that the marketing department does not foresee expending capital funds.
Mrs. Ross Agosta asked if the Village brochures, for instance, would be included in the
Operating Budget. Mr. Couzzo indicated that Mrs. Ross Agosta was correct. Mrs. Ross Agosta
asked if the Council would be dealing with the capital budget on an annual basis. Mr. Couzzo
stated that as the Council reviews each fiscal year's proposed budgets, the capital portion will be
considered and adjustments made as necessary from year to year.
Mayor Imburgia asked if there was any action required at this time. Mr. Couzzo stated that the
Council would have the opportunity for further review of the capital budget when they address
the operating budget during the workshop of July and that no action is required at present.
Mr. Coi»zo stated that as outlined, there is no planned garbage fee increase for the fiscal year
1997. This would represent four consecutive years with no increases. Discussion regarding
future garbage rates ensued.
Mayor Imburgia adjourned the Council Workshop at 6:58 P.M.
