In attendance of this months meeting was Supervisor Dick Howard, Board Members- Trisha Grover, Mike Scott, Shawn Dunmire, and Dick Kozlowski.  Also in attendance was Curt & Sue Rung, Alice Dunbar, Paul Sadler, Theresa Baldwin, Larry Bedow, Jon Reitz and myself.

All reports were accepted with no opposition or questions from any of the board members.

Curt, Highway Superintendent had this to offer on his crews work:

• The Town has $86,800 for 2009 CHIPS ($29,886.60 has already been spent)
• They are working on the Dimmick and Zimmer Road
• They will finish the gravel between County Road 8 and the Dimmick Road
• They patched pot holes on Pleasant Valley and will grade the shoulders

Mike Scott questioned if Pleasant Valley would be chipped this year and Curt said he would have to see how much money is left over with the projects he already has planned for the year.

Curt requested the board consider purchasing a new loader.  The town’s loader is  a ‘96 and in bad shape.  Curt priced a new one of from State Bid at $110,576 (3 1/2 yard bucket and a Cummins Engine).  Mike Scott asked Curt to look into getting the loader’s transmission rebuilt that he could not in good conscious vote for a new one at this time.

Alice Dunbar stated the tentative assessment roll is completed.  Just a note for all of you that like to check on the County’s website for updates, their website will not be updated you will have to check with the assessors office for any information.

Paul Sadler issued one building permit and attended a court hearing for a local resident for her dog.

The Village has abolished their judge’s position as of June 1.   What does this mean for the town?  All future fines collected (except for ones that were from previous court hearings) will go to the town.  This will help increase revenue for the town.  The town needs to increase the Judge’s pay though.  Her work load has not gone down, she is losing her Village portion of pay and the town’s revenues are about to increase it only makes sense.  ( I know your going to say oh that’s your sister-in-law but it’s only right.)

There were no bidders on the garage doors.  The Board accepted an offer of $300 from Curt Rung for the doors.

On a final note the positions of Town Supervisor, Town Clerk,  Justice and Highway Superintendent are up for reelection this year.
