Expenditures and Treasurer Reports: A motion was made by Wayne, seconded by Dan, to approve the expenditures and Treasurer reports. Motion carried.
Correspondence: Paul got a call about a stray dog. The owner was located so they didn’t need to call the SWCHS. A resident called asking about dust control on one of the gravel roads. The county will spray the gravel roads. Siems put anti-seize on the tires of the new plow truck. There were three trees down on Lincoln Road that Paul took care of. There is a recall on the Western Star, so Paul will call and get that taken care of. A building permit for a shed was approved. The open records request from the Sunlight Report is a possible cyber attack, so we will not be responding to it.
Fence Dispute Update: Dave Hamel sent the bill to Sankey’s and they have not paid the fence bill. Dave will pay the bill. The bills total $2617.60. As per Heather Gehrt it may be added to their taxes if they don’t pay us by November.
Road and Maintenance Concerns: The bridge railing was damaged because of downed trees. Wood County wanted $3500 to repair it. The board decided to have our employees repair it instead. The gravel was swept off the curve by the pipeline. More road signs have been repaired by Mike and Tim.
Pay current bills: A motion was made by Dan, seconded by Wayne, to pay the current bills. Motion carried.
Old Business: Diane called American Family about the road damage on the corner of Spruce and Highway 73. A claim has been set up. The claim # is 01-008-902149, adjuster is Nancy Hobbs at (952) 356-0490. We can submit the claim by email at claimdocuments@asics.com. Once a bill is received from the County it will be submitted for payment.
New Business: There is a new tax program that Pam has been training on. Residents will be allowed to pay with a credit card. In November the board will need to make a motion so that Pam can transfer those payments from the checking account to savings to maximize the interest that we can make.
