Water/Waste Water Report: No problems with the water system just doing normal maintenance. We had to open the lagoon because of all the rain so will begin our samples on it until we can turn it back off.
Street Maintenance: Kevin has been working on the equipment to get everything in shape. He has been working on the roads as weather permits. Waiting to start putting on gravel.
Cemetery: We received contributions from Keith Ketchum and Jeanine Moss for upkeep on the cemetery.
Old and Unfinished Business: Deana brought information about a new Waste Management Service. Carol is going to call and get more information on the services and prices.
New Business: Carol is going to do some checking on the ordinances for the mowing of yards. The city will start mowing lots and charging the owners.
Positive Thoughts: The sun is shining and no rain for a few days. Beautiful weather!!
