TREASURER'S REPORT Finance Director George Valentine reported that
recent sales figures received from the State
are different from the last report but the results are the same. There is a 6%
increase in the sales tax receipts for the last twelve month period. Water sales
in July were highest ever recorded for that month and water purchases for June
and July were extraordinarily high. Water sales to Riverwoods had been 4.6% of
the total water sold. However, one of the meters servicing the area was in-
correctly calibrated, and this will change that percentage. The Water Department
will continue to report on this matter. Cash investments were 103% with an
interest rate of 6.6 %.

signs were also reviewed. Petitioners requested the Board to include the annexa-
tion agreement for the plat of subdivision in its approval of the Plan Commission
recommendation.

specific problem areas.

during this time. He noted that results of what the Village has done in the

than many of the neighboring communities.
