Second item on the agenda was town employees; Randy said we would need a new plow truck driver Mike Jager would no longer be driving. Randy said they would need a CDL licensed checking with Dave Stedji, Mike Schmelling, and Pete Jobelius. In the interm if Jon were to drive truck you can stay on the town roads and not have a CDL.

Third item on the agenda; Lake VanZile dock. Jon asked for help from Bobby to put the dock in this week weather permitting. If not it would need to be done before May 4 th which was the opener for fishing season.
Fourth item was future work on town roads; Dave Stedji and Mike Albrecht working together on road work grading. Dave Stedji was in attendance and stated they bought a rake to pull behind the tractor. He felt it would do a better job than dragging the road with a grader. He mentioned he would not be able to drag yet until it dried up and all the frost was out of the ground. He figured he could get out in the next 2 weeks. He would start on the lake roads first then work his way to the other town roads. He would only charge the town $1000 for the first pass on all roads because this is new equipment and unsure the miles/ hours it would take.
Last item on the agenda was Spring clean up days set for May 18 & 19.
Next year;s annual meeting agenda items were broadband update on tower.
