OFFICER/COMMITTEE REPORT

   No report on pavilion.  Rick Harris reported that the second road contractor(S & G Asphalt) assessment matched previous views, that sealing the roads would be a waste of our money. However, it would be better to invest in cleaning ditches on each side of road to keep water away from road. So per the Board of Directors instruction of November 2004 meeting he had contracted Woody’s Excavation to clean roadside ditches. The bid submitted by Woody’s Excavation was substantially lower than the bid submitted by S & G Asphalt. The work will be done, weather permitting, week of December 8, 2004.

   Chris Boyer reported on sewer project, he said that the request for grants have been received by rural development and were accepted and are in the process of being evaluated, so the sewer project was on schedule.
