PRAYER: Kathi Williams
1) REVIEW MINUTES: John made the motion to accept the minutes. Kelly Sue seconded the motion. The minutes passed.
2) REVIEW EXPENDITURES: No expenditures this month.
3) TAYLOR DOING TREES-DO WE HAVE A BID? Taylor put in a bid for $500. His bill was for $300 to do the Park trees. Scott Bartholomew cleaned all of the tree branches away. Bryan made the motion to pay Taylor $300 for doing the trees and paying Scott the rest of the remaining money, $200. Kelly Sue seconded the motion. Melissa abstained. The motion passed.
4) FLOOR BUFFER FOR BUILDING-ANY IDEAS? We will address this in our next meeting in January.
5) SCANNING OUR INFORMATION FROM THE TOWN: The Council doesn't feel like this is something need to do right now.
a) BUY A HARD DRIVE FOR $155? Not at this time.
6) DISCUSSION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL WAGES: The Council discussed this issue and we decided to pass something now, but it will happen after the new year. Melissa made the motion to start paying the Council Members $100 a month starting in January 2024. Kelly Sue seconded the motion. The motion passed.
7) MONEY MOVED INTO STIPEND FUND: We will vote on this item next meeting in January.
8) CHRISTMAS DINNER ON DECEMBER 7, 2023 AT 6:00PM-ALL OK? The Christmas dinner is going great. All people involved have been contacted and know what to do. The tree will be fixed and put up after Thanksgiving weekend. The tables and decorations will be done on the Wednesday before the dinner.
9) TALK ABOUT THE PRICE OF THE DOOR TO THE TABLE AND CHAIRS CLOSET: Jed got a bid to redo the door to the room where the tables and chairs are stored. We want it widened and a new door put in. The bid to do that was $2900! Also a new door at the pump B house would cost $5000. Both doors are too expensive at the moment. There was an option that would only cost $1000 for the pump house door right now. Kelly Sue made the motion to make the repairs on the pump B house door, not to exceed $1000, for now. Bryan seconded the motion. The motion passed.
10) WATER REPORT
a) DISCUSS WHO TURNS OFF DELINQUENT WATER ACCOUNTS: Kelly Sue brought up the point about who should be shutting off the water after not paying their bill. The Council talked about having the water master and a Town Council person go together to turn any citizen's water off for non-payment.
11) P&Z REPORT: There was no meeting held this last month.
CITIZEN'S CONCERNS:
Sherry brought up the idea of having a mobile spaying and neutering clinic come help us here in town. So many cats and they are really increasing in numbers. She has some neighbors that would be willing to pay for the spaying. She will call the Vet to see what they do.
TOWN COUNCIL ITEMS:
JED BARTHOLOMEW, MAYOR: Water, Weeds, Office, Cemetery: The pump house project is almost done. Trees are dying up at the cemetery and he asked someone for some advice for what was happening and they told him it might be a beetle that has gotten to the trees.
BRYAN LYMAN: Flags, P&Z, Park: He will shut off the water for winter to the bathroom and the park. He mentioned the door needs more protection. Jed asked him to check on how to fix the door better.
JOHN BOWN: Animal Control, Fire Meeting's, Cemetery
KELLY SUE MELLOR: Celebrations, Grants
MELISSA MELLOR: Website, Newsletter, Emergency Preparedness
