Year End Meeting- December 28, 2010
Present- the Board, Clerk Christen and Patrolman Sherman.
The Board met to review the bills to date presented by the Clerk. Motion to approve the bills by Gundlach/ Zweifel.
The Board then discussed the equipment CD and the funds budgeted to deposit into the CD. The Clerk reported that the CD ($4,022.58) would renew at 1.13-% interest. The snowplow truck loan was currently at 3.5%. The board felt that it would be advantageous to cash the CD and make a prepayment on the loan and apply the 2010 budget of $5,000 and the 2010 snowplowing charges of $3,004. The Clerk was instructed to inquire about the rules of prepayment on the loan and to make the payment when allowed. The amount to apply as a prepayment would be $12,026.58. Motion to approve the prepayment by Gunlach/ Zweifel. All ayes motion approved.
Road Patrolman Sherman then asked the board to reiterate the policy of snowplowing and applying salt and slag and ice control of the roads. The board maintains a policy with increased fuel cost and cost of snow/ice control product that salt/slag will be applied to intersections, curves and hills only. Noting that in extreme icy/cold condition salt is ineffective. Road conditions will be monitored and product may be applied or withheld from the roads as determined.
Chairman Fahey also informed the board that he had purchased some trees from the Green County Land Conservation group with intentions of planting some of them at the park and maybe selling some as a fund raiser in the spring.
Motion to adjourn the meeting made by Gundlach/Zweifel. Meeting adjourned at 3:10 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Candee J. Christen
