Last Thursday, the Litchfield City Council approved contracts with J & J Ventures for video games services and an ATM at the Milnot Beach House at Lake Lou Yaeger.

The council approved a three-year contract with the company for arcade-style video gaming machines to fill empty space that is currently at the beach house. When asked what kind of machines would be provided, a representative from the company said upright gaming machines similar to Pac-Man and Deer Hunter would be likely.

Mayor Steve Dougherty said he had worked with J & J Ventures before and said they are a very good company.

A contract for an ATM machine was also approved with the same company. The machine will make it more convenient for beach goers who need cash but don't have it on them. When asked how often the ATM would be serviced, the company's representative said it was hard to say as they have computers that tell J & J Ventures employees when the machine is running low on cash. He did say that the machine would always be refilled before it gets too low.

The next Litchfield City Council meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 7, at 6:30 p.m.
