The Village Manager read from his budget letter and asked if there were any questions. Mr. John Cherin of Arthur Andersen and Co. said he had been asked by Mr. Sherman to review the proposed budgets, but that he did not know what kind of a review was desired and the scope of work will determine the cost.
