Councilman Hodges questioned Mr. Beggin on the building site and on the possible future request for additional funds. Mr. Beggin felt that federal and state funds could be obtained, however first year funding by the villages would be necessary. Mr. Beggin said that the joint powers agreement states that the Village would only fund the staff personnel and that additional funding would be derived from other sources. Councilman Johnson wondered if there was any overlap of services now provided by another agency. Mr. Beggin stated that the people in the district say the service is needed.
