Minutes of the Previous Meeting
Minutes from the October meeting were read by the Clerk. There being no corrections, deletions or additions, a motion was made by Kyle Ingram and seconded by Dennis Johnson to approve the minutes as written. Motion carried.
Old Business
- As discussed during last month’s meeting, Supervisor Gray indicated the first installment of Real Estate tax receipts in the amount of $167,589.40 has been received and deposited to the various funds. As a result, no adjustments will be needed in order to fund any payroll taxes due.
- In addition, Clydus also mentioned the annual Coal Mine Road check
has been received.
New Business
- As required by the State and, as a provision called for during the completion of the Annual Financial Review (AFR), a document confirming a full audit is not required was signed by each elected official.
- Clydus mentioned the annual tax levy will be completed and provided for approval at next month’s meeting. The deadline for submission of the levy to the County is December 26th.
- In regard to the tax levy, Road Commissioner Bob Drake indicated that while sufficient funds are on hand at this point, it may become necessary to request a “Truth in Taxation” hearing next year. It is his understanding that Motor Fuel Tax funds may be cut by as much as twenty percent and reimbursement for equipment by as much as fifty percent. If that occurs, the ability for complete needed projects will be significantly affected. At this point, the exact adjustments to the distributions are not known.

- Road and Bridge Fund, Building and Equipment Fund and Permanent
Road Fund claims were presented for review. Motion by Jamie Ellis and seconded by Becky Cross to pay those bills. Motion carried.
- Town Fund and Social Security Fund claims were also presented for review. Motion by Jamie Ellis and seconded by Dennis Johnson to pay those bills. Motion carried.
