Committee Reports

     Building Committee

      - Joe Ewing reported that Alex Garnett fixed the sidewalk, drains, vents, and did some concrete work. The new fans are still loud. Discussion was made whether to put down tile or linoleum where the air conditioner leaked from being frozen. Apparently when the air conditioner was installed a drip plan was not placed where it should have been causing the issue with the leak. It does not seem to be cost effective to make to install the drip pan.

Director’s Report:

     - The BBQ program was discussed. It turned out to be a good program.

     - Prevailing Wage Ordinance 17/18-6 was passed unanimously on the motion of Sally Wofford.

     - Meeting Date Ordinance 17-18-7 was passed unanimously on the motion of Sally Wofford.

     - There were no executive session minutes to be reviewed.

A motion was made by Trustee Ewing to adjourn at 5:34.
