There was a question on page 11 about the amount the City is getting billed for the 5
gallon jugs of water. This city may be paying too much for their water. There was a
question about the different costs of the phones that were purchased on page 18. The
difference in price is because they are different kinds of phones. There was a question
on page 23 about publishing costs for Naperville /Oswego and Basketball Advertising.
This is for a Community Development Ad in a Brochure they were passing out. The

Resource Commission. Mayor Prochaska and Alderwoman Spears would like to
see it as a separate committee. The need for this committee would be reviewed
annually, and a vote would be taken to abolish the committee if the Council so
desired. This will move on to City Council.
