• Maintenance Permanent improvements were discussed regarding the potential repaving of Maple Avenue. The drainage problems at the end of Maple Avenue by the Feed Mill and Murray’s was rehashed, and the concerns of Steve Stocking of the Town of Pembroke regarding the town plows having problems in that area were addressed. It was decided to budget $5000 extra in permanent improvements to utilize towards the repaving and tackle only major sidewalks issues. CHIPS funds will help to offset a portion of the work to be done.
• Brief discussion was held regarding placing ad for part-time Maintenance person. A committee of Trustees Russ and Sobczak was formed to establish a job description for the part-time maintenance position to be presented to the Board at the April 10th meeting. After review the ad will be placed in the newspaper for the position. It was determined by the Labor Attorney Jim Schmidt, after conferring with Attorney Disare, that there should be no problem changing the Maintenance position to a part time position. Mayor Skeet will be speaking with Attorney Schmidt to confirm.
