DISCUSSION OF 2007 TOWN PICNIC

Earl Brandt will be the chairman of the picnic committee for 2007, though he expressed a wish to get other citizens more involved in the future. The picnic is scheduled for August 26^th.

Mark Sherven will be the Master of Ceremonies. It was agreed that a special effort should be made to invite and introduce new residents. The committee currently working on updating the Town land records will have an exhibit explaining their work and it is expected that Tom and Kathy Brock will have an informational display on the subject of invasive species control.

John Bird Accounting will sponsor the printing and mailing of a flyer prior to the picnic and it is expected that articles will appear in both the Mt. Horeb Mail and News-Sickle-Arrow.

The question of whether horse carriage rides will be offered depends on whether suitable insurance coverage is available.

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF BIDS FOR REPAIR TO TOWN GARAGE ROOF AND GUTTERS

It appears that the hail damage to the garage roof will be entirely covered by insurance. The bid for garage roof replacement from Brings Building and Jetcrete LLC for the amount of $7,849 was the lowest. Mark Sherven moved acceptance of that bid, Bill Hanson seconded and the motion was approved. A check for approximately half of the work will be received prior to the start of the work, and the contingency fund will be sufficient to cover the remainder until final insurance company reimbursement is received. It was decided gutter repair will be incidental to the roof repair, and will be decided as work progress warrants.

ADJOURNMENT

A motion was made by Barbara Grenlie and seconded by Don Mckay that the meeting adjourn. The meeting was adjourned at 7:30.
