Old Business: 

There was an update on the new meters. They have been read and seem to be working well. A couple of them needed to be checked, as an error was received. Chada will be checking to see what the issue is.

New Business: 

Discussion was held on the recycling bin. Chada talked to Steve Zoss, and they are planning to have the cement laid for it in the next week. Chada is going to make sure it is flagged out for the cement layers. 

Discussion was held on the JD tractor that the Town had been renting yearly from C&B for snow removal for the town. When Gromer returned the tractor to C&B, they said they are no longer doing the rentals of the tractors. Gromer contacted Titan and a couple of other dealerships, and they have all gone away with the rental of the tractors. Gromer is going to contact and see what a price would be to purchase a used tractor and what type of payment it would be yearly. Once he gets this information, Meier will see if she can get it to work in the budget.
