VISITORS ADDRESSING THE BOARD:
TOWN BUILDING, GROUNDS & EQUIPMENT: The flag light will be fixed with updated lighting by CIES.
COMMUNICATIONS & Correspondence: We received an invitation from Limestone Township for their Holiday luncheon on Friday December 6, 2024, between 11 am to 2 pm.
TOWN BUSINESS ~ Supervisor: The CD renewal is due and $107,881.79 will be rolling over at 4.00%. The corn crop on Hollis Road received $ 5431.07 this year. Russ, Denny and Bill attended the conference and Russ felt discouraged. They only offer the classes one time, so you cannot attend another class that might have information you would like to obtain but some classes were not worth attending. Russ did speak with a company that is setting up a solar farm on Caterpillar grounds in Mapleton.
CLERK BUSINESS: Rhonda stated caucus information has been posted.
ROAD BUSINESS ~ Highway Commissioner: Denny stated they are working hard to get dead trees cut down and if anyone wants the wood, they just need to notify him. The tractor was damaged on Tuesday due to an accident while mowing S. Lafayette due to a concrete gutter giving way. We do have an insurance check coming for the Tuscarora accident earlier this year from Country Companies. Salt has been ordered but kept at a lower amount so he can use what we have right now and since salt is expensive, slag is added which also helps with traction. The plows and other equipment are ready for the season. Denny agreed with Russ about the conference with classes only offered once. He did learn that if a piece of equipment was missed at the annual meeting, the board can approve the sell during the year. Denny discussed selling equipment at auctions, and he feels it is best to sell with a company that allows reserves, so a large loss is not taken. Denny did let the board know that in 2007, seal coating was $15,000 and now it is $85,000 a mile.
TRUSTEES/ Information / Business: Bill stated the conference had no paper in the classroom, so he did not have the information. Russ stated the speakers did list websites.
TAX ASSESSOR’S OFFICE / Information / Business: The first week of December they will be taking pictures and making rounds. She asked to please let her know if you see something that should be checked out.
OLD UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Holiday gift cards are being mailed out tomorrow.
NEW BUSINESS:
Discuss and Act on CIES office lighting proposal.
