Board discussion: Gary Swartz brought up there is a stop sign and street sign missing from corner of Hickory and Edwards. As well as corner by the T floods really bad and people make it into a mud bog.

Board discussion: Water bills being late getting to customers. Post office issue nothing we can do. Even in town bills have to be sent to St. Louis.

Board discussion: A new Chevy utility truck a little over 50k from Uebelhor. Look into other places and maybe a state bid price then can reach out to local dealerships and see if they will match it. If we get rid of black village truck ( needs work done ) then fire department wants it. Also need two Village trucks, one for water department and one for street and alley.

Board discussion: Slide at the park that got broke, talked to molanda company and sent pictures they are going to get in touch with installers and they are going to take care of it.

Board discussion: Two of the baby swings at the park were cut up, order two more baby swings from amazon.

Board discussion: Tables for the park. It was already approved in previous meeting to order more. 3 round and two rectangle. Red ones. Get a price from Dale as well.

Board discussion: Campbell brought up maybe putting money from a CD in an account to replace coalbelt death fund that went away. CD can grow interest and we can use money out of it for death benefits when needed. Grant stated it did not go way they they are paying in $500 pay outs at time up to $2000.

Board discussion: Need to get stuff for mosquito spraying.

Board discussion: Paying Tim $20 an hour and paying for half of insurance.
