Trustees approve $183,880.43 in vouchers; questions raised about cemetery markers and library CAFE fee
Summary
The Village Board approved $183,880.43 in vouchers. Trustees asked for follow-up on a $1,176 cemetery grave-marker purchase and a $23,546 library annual CAFE charge.
The Village Board approved vouchers totaling $183,880.43 after brief discussion and questions from trustees.
During review of the voucher list, a trustee asked whether the $1,176 listed under cemetery grave markers was for municipal repairs or family-provided headstones. A staff member explained the cost covers reusable metal placards placed at new burials for unmarked graves; permanent headstones will replace the temporary marker when purchased.
Trustees also asked about a $23,546 line item listed as “cafe annual support” for the library. Board members and staff clarified that “CAFE” is the library checkout and online platform used by county libraries, and that the charge appears to be an annual county-level fee; trustees asked staff to follow up with the library director for written confirmation.
After those clarifications, the board voted to approve the vouchers. Trustees directed staff to provide follow-up documentation on the library charge for the record.
