  1. Thanks. For some reason, I kept getting a page unavailable message at another link.

    1. Yes. The link that would take you to the pdf seemed to be broken. Happy to have found this one.

  2. You want to use our village only parks? Pay village taxes. It's really that simple. After the disaster that was this swimming season in the newspapers and the village forced to close Mayo's, I'd be surprised if they bring it up again. We'll see. My neighbor the kayaker is still bringing out bags of picnic trash from the shoreline.
