VISITORS ADDRESSING THE BOARD:
TOWN BUILDING, GROUNDS & EQUIPMENT: Flag light will be fixed with updated lighting.
COMMUNICATIONS & Correspondence: Invitation received from Limestone Township for their Holiday luncheon. Friday December 6, 2024, between 11 am to 2 pm.
TOWN BUSINESS ~ Supervisor: CD renewal 107,881.79 rolling over at 4.00%. The corn crop on Hollis Road received $ 5431.07 this year. Russ, Denny and Bill attended the conference. Russ felt discouraged. They only offer class one time, so if you have another class, you miss the information because you could not attend the class. Some classes were not worth attending. Russ did speak with a company that is setting up 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. Denny stated that if anyone wants the wood, they just need to notify him. Accident on Tuesday out mowing S. Lafayette, concrete gutter gave way and tractor was damaged. We do have an insurance check coming for the Tuscarora accident from Country Companies. Salt is ordered but kept at a lower amount so he can use what we have right now. Plows and other equipment are ready. Salt is expensive so slag is added which helps get transaction. Springfield, agree with Russ, classes only once is not helpful. 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 do 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.
