Building & Grounds:
Personnel: The personnel committee will remind city hall that three members (Scott Caselli, Karen Latimer and Susan Roush) have to be reinstated this year.
Policies:
Unfmished Business: The replacement/repair of windows on the main floor has been put on hold due to more pressing issues. The security company was supposed to have installed the equipment this past week, but didn't show up. It was suggested that the director contact other agencies for assistance. It was also suggested that since the new enhanced 911 system has been activated that we test our equipment to be sure it works with the new system. Plans for the south door replacement have been revised. As soon as we receive a fmal quote the director will apply for a grant to cover part of the cost of replacement.
New Business: None
A motion was made by Roush and seconded by Carlson to adjourn the meeting at 5:32 p.m.
The motion was approved by acclimation.
