Election Security Grant: Diane Kohls talked to someone at the election commision and he said that we would be able to apply for this grant.

Diane is getting a quote from Kerber and Rose and is hoping it is around $600 for the computer. Their IT/security is $500 for 2 years.

Public Input: Bob Cline was wondering what the speed limit is for UTV’s on the town roads. Diane googled it and some town’s have a 35 mph speed limit but we weren’t sure what the county’s speed limit was for UTV’s on town road. The board thought that it might be 35 mph but weren’t 100% sure.
