Attorney David Holmes and Clot-treasurer Judy Hiler were also present. Election of officers was the first order of business. Walt Heil nominated Cheryl Rizek as president. Seconded by Len Jaske. Carried. Gene Reese nominated Len Jaske as vice-president. Seconded by Walt Heil. Carried. The meeting was called to order, and the minutes were approved as read. Jeff Baker, fire chief, submitted a 1991 run survey and a list of 1992 fire officers. The officers are as follows: Jeff Baker, chief; John McGovern and Chuck Baker, assistant chiefs; Tod Brems and Brian Cassady, captains; Greg Williams and Ron Truhler, lieutenants; Greg Williams, president; Chuck Baker, treasurer; and Kevin Sliter, secretary. The 1991 run survey showed that there were eighty runs, 32,435 gallons of water used on fires, 725 man hours spent on training and 266 man hours spent on cleaning and upkeep of the trucks and fire station. Baker said that he plans to get together with ambulance personnel to discuss the Hepetitus B shots that

they may be required to get. Baker thought that it might be cheaper if they went together and tried to get a special group-type rate. The monthly police report was accepted. A review of the compensatory time showed that the number of accumulated hours has gone down. Chief Gassensmith asked if the Hepetitus B shots are mandatory. Holmes answered that he’s not sure if they can make them mandatory, since it has been reported that there can be side effects with the shots. Attorney Holmes, and councilmembers brought up several items for discussion, and determined that Shawn McCrum should be sent a letter asking if he wants commerical electric rates, a letter will be sent to Mel Divine the first part of March asking him to put a hard surface on his mini-storage property. Holmes said that he had heard from Lisa Jimerson’s attorney, about the ambulance radio that has been missing for several years. The radio has been found, and Holmes said that as soon as it’s been returned it should be determined if it’s operational. If it is we should let him know so that he can stop the judgement against Jimerson. There was no citizen’s input. AMBULANCE: Rizek asked for a volunteer, from the council, to serve on the ambulance board. Gordon Hartsell will serve on the ambulance board. An ambulance meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, January 28 at 7:00 p.m. OLD BUSINESS: Job classifications and town policy will be gone over at the next council meeting. Walt Heil asked Holmes if he has heard anything about the new sewer extensions to the industrial park. Holmes answered that apparently the application for a permit wasn’t co-ordinated with the beginning of construction. Holmes feds that the IDEM will expedite the permit, and they’ve already had it for about a month. It was decided, on a motion by Len Jaske, to renew our $600,000 C.D. and the SIO,OOO for ninety days, with the highest bidder. Seconded by Walt Heil. Carried. A planning session was scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on January 13. All department heads are being asked to bring in a list of their top five priorities to be done in one year, five years or ten years. NEW BUSINESS: The clerk reported that she’d had a call in regard to the Town purchasing the Brass Lion building to use as a new Town Hall and council chambers. After some discussion about lack of funds, it was decided to form a committee to look into the matter. Len Jaske and Gene Reese have agreed to be on the committee, and to check out the purchase price, and bring their findings back to the council. The derk asked if a renter who married her landlord can have half of her meter deposits refunded to her. Attorney Holmes advised that it would be okay to do this. Claims *1 through 45 for $50,113.93 were approved on a motion by Gene Reese. Seconded by Len Jaske. Carried. Gene Reese made the motion to adjourn. Seconded by Gordon Hartsell. Carried.
