October 31, 2007

Ken Anderson called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m. Don Clements, Ray Key, Chuck Norman, Keith Larson, Karene Uhe, and Doreen O’Donnell were in attendance.

Proof of proper notice was shown.

Ken motioned to approve minutes of October 16th, 2007, Don seconded. The minutes stand as read.

 Upon review of payables, Ken made the motion to approve flood damage payroll and one payable submitted for Mike Lepke’s work on flood damage for approximately $62,000. Ray and Don are on record, both seconding it.

Karene reported cash on hand, checking - $336,901.77 and savings - $166,519.81. Of the $400,000 borrowed, $300,000 was put in checking and $100,000 was put in savings. The Readstown Bank had informed Karene that another savings plan was available that had an interest return of 3.56% return compared to the 1.25% return on the current savings account. She would go ahead and switch if there were no objections.

Ray suggested a motion to clarify the previous snow plow discussion of the 16^th. Doreen said the motion would not be legal since it was not on the agenda. Ken motioned to get the board together at 9:00 a.m. on the 7^th to inspect driveways for snow plowing and set prices. Don seconded.

No tax information from the state is in yet that allows us to plan the 2008 budget. None the less it is decided to plan for such a meeting for November 26^th and notices in the Epitaph to made on the 7^th and the 15^th for same.

Payment will be made for work done on flood damage per loan allocation.

Work will continue on flood damage.

Clerk, Chuck Norman has indicated that he wishes to resign due to health issues. He is ill and cannot function satisfactorily. Ken persuaded him to withhold resignation if Keith Larson would take over election duties and someone can be found to fill in for the duration for a couple of months while he recovers.  Some possibilities were discussed. The discussion ended with the issue unresolved and the possibility of resignation still on the table.

Audience to visitors:  No comment.

Date for next regular board meeting – Thursday, November 15th, 2007, at 7:00 pm at the town hall.
