VILLAGE OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
TO: Park Commissioners
FROM: Joe Stefani, Chairman
June 20, 1973
AZI of us recognize the need for a 1974 Budget which will
provide the Village parks with an adequate amount of money
and a balanced plan for spending it. The next two to three
months should, then, be spent discussing, gathering data, and
setting ground rules relative to the'input we can provide to
the structure of our budget.
Orvil also realizes the importance of this effort, but
he will be out of town on June 27, 28 and 29. We will still
discuss "Budgets" at our 27th meeting, but, in addition, I am
scheduling a Budget meeting, for everyone, on Monday,
July 2, 1973, at 8:00 P.M. Orvil will be there, and the wheels
will be in motion for arriving at important budget decisions.
