 Upon review of payables, Ken made the motion to approve total disbursements of $89,023.57. Don seconded. All in favor: motion carried.

Treasurer’s Report:  $25,400 in checking and $66,250 in savings which will result in only $2,650 cash available if all checks are sent. It is decided to hold the Kraemer check for gravel of $71,795.49 until the loan goes through on Monday the 22^nd of October.

It is reported that the Ioriatti-Peterson fence dispute is now resolved and the fence in question has been installed to everyone’s satisfaction.

Town legal council, Eileen Brownlee presented Resolution 2007-8 resolving the town board to increase the indebtedness as passed by the special meeting of October 11^th. This was motioned by Ken and seconded by Ray and signed by all three board members. Eileen then presented 2007-9 which approved the details of the loan applied for to the Peoples State Bank, Wauzeka, Wisconsin, (the “Purchaser”) in accordance with the terms and conditions negotiated between council and the Purchaser. Resolution 2007-9 was passed by all three board members, motioned by Don Clements and seconded by Ken Anderson. The loan will be for $400,000, entail a 4.6% interest and mature in ten years. It is payable in advance without penalty.

New Business:  Recycling – Ray suggested that signs be made up to encourage recycling at the trash collection center. Apparently there is a problem with a small minority of residents abusing the trash bins and putting things in them that are not in conformance with recycling guidelines. Ken reports that Vernon County is getting more aggressive in enforcement and we had better, too. Could be expensive down the road.

Karene Uhe presented a preliminary budget for 2008 and read through the numbers.    

Audience to visitors: Visitors were allowed to participate in discussion throughout the entirety of the meeting.  

 

Date for next regular board meeting – Thursday, November 1st, 2007, at 7:00 pm at the town hall.

Respectfully submitted by

Chuck Norman, clerk
