sanitize units after a smoker has lived there. He stated that probably not all
units will be Smoke Free, but he hopes that at least a separate section will be
added for smoking residents. The Board praised his efforts and thanked him for
the information.

to be paid in the County’s claims and then vendors have to wait until the end
of the next month for payment.

of the Library at the beginning of each fiscal year and that the County will

best of condition when they started. The
Board and the Beckers came up with a compromise where Beckers would be sent a
bill for two loads of gravel that was used on the road. The Board asked if they could notify the
County in advance when they are going to haul. The Beckers asked if they could

Robbie Johnson came
before the Board to discuss the possibility of a zoning change for a piece of
property that he plans on purchasing as a location for his business. The
property is located at the corner of 563 ½ Road and Hwy. 24 and is zoned
Agricultural. It would need to be zoned Light Industrial so he could locate his
business there. The Board advised him to
start the process with the Zoning Administrator.
Kathy talked with
the Board about some more road projects and bridge problems. She and the Board
members talked with Robbie about the bridge situation by his property and the
possibility of closing part of the road where the bad bridges are located. She
brought the Board up to date on some on-going projects and reported that all
right of way needed for the Northeast Industrial Road has been acquired.
Frankie Charipar
came in to discuss a drainage problem with a road next to his property. Mr.
Kment stated that he cannot justify spending a lot of money on this road since
no one else seems to have any problems to report and since it is a minimum
maintenance road anyway. Mr. Charipar said that he would return with more
information and suggestions.

Jarett Doernemann
came before the Board for the discussion on the Wilke Road.
Bert Lammli, Co.
Attorney re-joined the meeting.
A discussion was
opened on the road to Mike Wilke’s residence. Jarett asked what they wanted him
to do about the road. There was a
problem that caused Mr. Mainelli to stop the construction until further plans
have been made. Mr. Mainelli told Mr.
Doernemann what needs to be done so that the road will meet the State standards
for construction. Mr. Lammli voiced some opinions and a solution was suggested
that would include moving a fence line that is in the County road right of way.
Kathy was told to contact Sam Fisher and the landowner about moving the fence
line and to offer two REA poles for use for the new fence posts. Mr. Doernemann
stated that this needs to be done as soon as possible so Mr. Wilke will have an
entrance to his house. Mr. Mainelli showed Jarett the Standards for the road
and Jarett stated that he can move the dirt and build the road up to standard
if the fence is moved. He will put clay on for a stabilizer and cover will be
provided.
The purchase of a
pickup for District #3 was reviewed. Mr. Weatherholt presented quotes for the
pickup purchase. He advised that he had bought the 2002 Chevrolet pickup from

of mileage and some travel expenses for the period from July 2007 to September

working out well and that he doesn’t think that bids need to be taken. He also

budgets. It was decided that bids would not be taken at this time.
