Building Permits to Review There were no building permits to review.
Board Member Reports Allen told us about the Boy Scout yearly outing in the Park. Mary Esther has had several questions about trailers parked next to their houses in the Valley. She spoke with Steve about this and they decided to just refer everyone to Washington County with their questions. Dave asked how the speed signs were coming? Rick said the two signs ordered, bought and paid for in 2018 were on the way.
Fire Chief Report Steve went over the nine incidents in the last month. He then brought up the problem of lack of space for packages in the Post Office. He talked to the Postmaster and if we make the boxes, the Post Office will provide the locks. Allen, Steve, Bob, Duane Krohn, Frank and others will form a committee to work on this problem. Steve presented a map of the needed fire hydrants in the valley. He had contacted Ron Whitehead who is over Streets for the County to inform him what he is doing. Steve will put out bids on the 13 fire hydrants on the west side. He has 5 more needed hydrants in the rest of town if there is enough money. The Board has already approved up to $75,000 for the fire hydrants. Rick has applied to the Five County for a grant to help pay for the hydrants and one for a community center.
