VILLAGE ATTORNEY REPORT – No report this evening.

TRUSTEE NOTES & PROJECT REPORTS
  Trustee Schuster
  o Attended NYCOM training which was very informative.
  o There has been a lot of talk lately regarding the gas tax cap from Erie County. This would be a reduction of sales tax
  revenue which can ultimately hurt muni’s although it can help consumers. Even a small chunk of lost revenue to the
  Village can affect resident taxes.
  o The art crawl after party is great and encourages everyone to go. The ribbon cutting ceremony for the theater is at
  8:45pm.
  Trustee Lipka
  o Ed Young’s wake will be Thursday May 21 from 4-7 at Smith-Weismantel Funeral Home and the funeral will be
  Friday May 22 at St. Aloysius Church at 11.
  o The Red Cross mobile unit will be on Wednesday May 20 from 1-6 on Waverly Street.
  o NYCOM was great, as a first-time attendee, very informative.
  Trustee Roberts
  o SYI invites all to attend opening day ceremony on May 30 at 2:00.
