December 19, 2006 Regular Board Meeting
Regular Town Board Meeting of December 19, 2006 Chairman Jeff Long called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. Also present were Supervisor David Schuenemann, Clerk/Treasurer Lois Smith and guests Steve Duba, Ken Ehle and Ned Pierce. MOTION/SCHUENEMANN: SECOND/LONG: To approve the agenda as presented. MOTION CARRIED. Public Forum: Taxpayer/resident Ned Pierce had some concerns regarding the maintenance and cleanliness of the community center. He feels the men’s room is an embarrassment to users. The air exchange needs improvement and the floors need work. Mr. Pierce feels it is not the BJ Lions’ responsibility for buying fixtures or making improvements, but that it is the town’s responsibility. He also mentioned the dead bugs in the light fixtures. Chairman Long states that the building is going on 20 years since remodeling, and he feels these concerns should be addressed sometime in the next few years. He stated that he had a fund for repairs and that the board was considering using these monies to do some of the repair work. The front entry also needs the tile repaired or replaced and hopefully this is a project that could begin the spring of 2007. The treasurer’s report for November was reviewed. MOTION/LONG: SECOND/SCHUENEMANN: To approve the treasurer’s report as presented. MOTION CARRIED. The minutes of the November 14th meeting were read.

MOTION/SCHUENEMANN: SECOND/LONG: To accept the minutes as presented. MOTION CARRIED. Old Business: Chairman Long reviewed the Winter Park bids. There were some concerns expressed by Ned Pierce. He felt the architect did not provide the board with a tabulated bid list and his recommendation. He felt this should be done prior to the awarding of the bids. There was also a question on the completion date on one bid to be clarified. Chairman Long moved to award the bid with the 6-15 agreement added. After further discussion, Chairman Long rescinded his motion and requested a tabulated bid from the architect. He amended his Motion to extend the awarding of the bid to the January meeting at which time the tabulated bid list will be available, unless it becomes necessary to do it prior to that time at a special meeting.
