VILLAGE PRESIDENT – Mayor Gaffino introduced an idea that had been requested of the Village, the installation of a turkey crossing sign at the corner of Randall and Orchard Roads where a wild turkey, dubbed Randi by some residents, has been known to roam. The Mayor suggested that it would be a fun, positive addition to the Village. There was further discussion regarding whether or not the addition of a turkey crossing sign would be beneficial or a hindrance to traffic.
There was positive feedback amongst the Village Board about looking into pricing of installing a sign.
