A motion was made by Mrs. Wire and seconded by Mr. Hastings to approve the financial report. All were in favor. Motion carried.
Mr.
Mason stated that pump burned up and they had to buy a new one. The pump was probably the original one.
He also stated that if we go to a
lagoon system with the new grant we will have to relocate. The sand system will take up even more
room.
The last bad snow we had, Jerry went
out to start plowing and all the springs broke. The welds did not hold.
Because of this Mr. Croup went out and got some estimates on snowplows. Monroe Truck had two recommendations. Estimates range from $3-4000. We have enough money in the budget for
it. Mrs. Mc Phillips made a motion to
approve the funds for purchase of the Western Ultramount Pro plus snowplow plus
the 8 ½” Western snow shield from Monroe Equipment. Mr. Hastings seconded it.
Roll call was made. All were in
favor. Motion carried.
Mr. Visel did not have any new
projects.
STREETS, ALLEYS, BRIDGES AND
SIDEWALKS:
There’s a lot of heat loss in this
building. There are holes in the
basement that brings a lot of cold air in.
The ceiling also needs a lot of insulation. Mr. Bunker will check all out and try to plug some holes. L & S also put a hole in the floor in
the ceiling area.
Mr. Bunker will look up Jim Blair to
see what he has to do to renew his license.
There is a requirement for continuing education that has to be
addressed.

OTHER BUSINESS:
Per Leslie Mastrionni we have been
approved for a planning grant for the waste water treatment plant of
$25,000. This pays for an engineering
study. There is a list of requirements
that have to be met. A packet was left
with Mrs. McPhillips.
Mr. Wilson will be qualifying us for
the construction plan. There are
certain things that have to be done.
Right now an analysis will be made of our current waste water system. After analysis comes some proposed
improvements for the facility plan.
Then comes the initial stage for the design for the actual
improvement. These are the documents
that are required to go to state.
Martintown is interested in having
Winslow support their town with a wastewater plant. They will be having a town meeting next week and the mayor will
mention this to them. If Martintown is
interested, we will be notified. We
have some possibilities for connecting Martintown to our wastewater treatment
plant. Putting a gravity line down by
the river to Martintown could use a lift station north of town.
Mrs. Mastrionni has asked to be the
administrator for the Housing Refurbishment we have in Winslow. She said they would do it for minimal
cost.
Retaining wall at church – looks
like the fence is in need of repair.
Taylor Street - talks are in to renew the repair of the
street. Talked to Marlin and he said
that Cox was no longer interested in doing work at Winslow. Mr. Croup talked to Cox and he said no that
was not the case. He cannot do it in
the winter because of a smaller crew.
A call was made to Vicki Otte
regarding a certification of ballot. We
have no candidates for the position. A
form was sent to her so she is aware.
Does anyone have any ideas as to who
might well serve on the board? If
interested, Mr. Croup would like to talk to them.
Mr. Croup is talking with Kathy
Orr. She is looking at our options in a
way to offer Dave an incentive for getting this TIF project going.
A motion was made by Mrs. Mc
Phillips and seconded by Mrs. Mc Graham to approve the bills. Roll call was made. All were in favor. Motion carried.
Mr. Croup adjourned the meeting at 9:15 PM.
