(B) Discussion with Ron T. Mackail, Councilmember; Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager; and Board regarding Village Council request for communication from C.A.B. to Village Council . Manager Bradford explained to the Board that the written communication was being requested by Council from the Board to avoid discrepancies in issues . It was Manager Bradford' s suggestion that since a Recording Secretary had now been employed, the information to Council would thereby be available and should eliminate the need for additional written communication between the Board and Council . f Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes June 7, 1989 Page 3 Boardmember Coben stated that since only the meat of the issues brought up at CAB meetings are what needs to be captured for the Board, the Minutes that are taken at these meetings should be enough . It was agreed by all present that a Recording Secretary taking Minutes of the meetings, as well as Scott Ladd' s Approval Letter, would be ample communication for the Council . V.
