There was also discussion on amending the construction plan for this year to be able to utilize all ARPA funds. More to come on this possibility. The trees that have orange X’s on them will be cut down due to construction. No exact date was given for tree removal.
Bulk water was brought up for updates. The Board discussed that it will change a little. It will be a $10.00 minimum for the first 1,000 gallons then $4.00 for every 1,000 gallons following.
Concrete work at Museum has been completed. There was an electrical line that was cut in this process that goes to the old school house. Chad Landmark will fix this issue by reburying it.
Finance gave a short report. Kayla talked about Mueller Tech Support. At this time the Board chose to hold off on purchasing it for the year. Maybe at a later date.

She will also be gone 6/26/2024 for budget training.
Chad gave maintenance report. Water tower project is under way. He will begin fogging this week sometime depending in wind and weather.
