MAYOR’S REPORT
…… Mayor DeVaney thanked all volunteers who participated in the Spring Clean- Up Day, April 23, 2011. They were Gert Snyder, Bob Olin, Don Avey, Derek Browning, Erica Browning, Kaden Browning, Bob Borders, Eileen Bone, Marty Ramin, Clayton Ramin, and Marsha Peterson. The Mayor extended a special thanks to Ed and Linda Daling for providing refreshments for the crew. Four containers were filled. Mayor DeVaney commented that the new loading dock recently constructed by Elite Woodworking contributed greatly to the ease and efficiency of the event.
……Town Hall will be Monday, May 30, 2011 in observance of Memorial Day.
……The Swim Pool Committee met with Mayor DeVaney at Town Hall, April 28, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss funding ideas and improvements for the swim pool. The committee opposed a maintenance and operation levy at this time, and wanted to explore other avenues for raising money for the pool. Suggestions included a concession stand and an add-on option to the Town utility bills for pool donations. Clerk-Treasurer Peterson informed the committee that new legislation now required that the 001 Current Expense Fund, 103 Park Fund, and 104 Citywide Cumulative Reserve Fund be combined for reporting purposes. The committee agreed against using the 104 fund for swim pool expenditures. Improvements discussed included covering the dirt area located on the north side of the pool to prevent debris from blowing into the pool.
• Huber moved to add an opt-in message and a designated area to write in an amount for pool donations to the Town utility bills each month, with a second from Koenig. Unanimous vote.
• The meeting was adjourned at 8:17 p. m. on a motion from Koenig and a second from Huber. Unanimous vote.
