d.  Duties of the Supervisor:  The issue that raised questions about the extent of the supervisor’s duties was a complaint form that the Village Café received in error from the Health Department and found posted on their door.  Apparently, this form was the result of the supervisor’s phone call about the Café.  A very heated discussion occurred involving both the board and the café owners.  The discussion did not resolve the issue.
