The following item or items were talked about or discussed:
Old business:

Gregg from the public works department confirmed there was a very strong diesel smell behind Shaffer Tire building. This issue has been turned over to EPA. John has sent letters to the affected residents and John also bough a masking agent to help the smell.
3. Radio read meters: Trustee Pruett said there are some bad radio read meters that John is having a problem with. John has worked it out with the company to replace them at the company's expense and they will also be doing the work.
4. Save water tower leak: Trustee Pruett said the leak at the water tower has been repaired, and the sample came back good.
New business:
1. Tracer wire for new service line installs: Trustee Pruett said public works director John Tolan would like to see our code amended to require a resident requesting a new water of sewer service to pay for the tracer wire where the connection is made. We will put something together to amend the code.
