Rich Township High School District 227 board reviewed the 1984 85 budget at a public hearing with no attendance.

Five Woodgate residents urged the village board to fund a 69 000 annual payment for five years totaling 345 000 to finance a community center and library in a proposed 7.7 acre shopping plaza west of I 57.
