SIDING BIDS..........Kathy has a couple of places that want to give bids and she wants to make sure we get good prices

and job is done well. Ann and Joe will provide information and bids. Kathy would like to have all bids by the end of September. There was some damage when the helicopter made medical landing last week. Examples were provided of steel siding with an approximate bid of $18,000.00. NEW PRINTERS.......There are two new printers and Marge Barrett and Kathy will each have one at their location as they

have the most need .

LIGHT ON LAKESHORE..........The Center provided and pays for the lights along lakeshore. Joe asked why and Kathy

explained that these are for safety and protection. There have been some complaints that lights are shinning in bedroom and residents can't sleep. To move the light would ber very expensive and the transformer would also have to be removed. This is the light at Laurel and Lakeshore. Jane Morgan suggested to see if the style of the lamp/light could be changed to direct light down. Joe questioned why the City is not paying for lights as our taxes should cover this expense. Bill Boyer will suggested that Terry Alien be contacted regarding the cost. Kathy will bring this up at City Council. The monthly bill is about $20.00 per month. Tara suggested that part of the light be painted black on the side that may reflect on a neighbor's house/yard. There is also a concern about Ivey and Laurel. Jane Morgan made a motion that we change the style of the light on Laurel and Lakeshore, laura Sloniker seconded. Motion passed.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS..........

equipment to dig hole.

INDOOR ITEMS..........need to have bulletin boards and chalk board placed, the trim needs to be installed and dance

floor redone. The carpet needs to be cleaned. Helen Burns may be able to do the trim. Bert questioned if there will be any window treatments placed and Kathy stated no. Bart Goldeman will revarnish the windows this winter.

NEW BUSINESS.......

include the food, advertising, etc. This could be advertised on the City Bulletin Board and Cable. This will be set for October 9 with serving at noon, eat in or take out. There will be beer and other drinks. Karen Sivanivich will get the work out. Price will need to be set to cover food , drink, etc. There will be different prices for sizes of servings. Marlene reported that there are accounts at Sam's Club or Soderquist for needed supplies. Discussion ensued if we made enough money to cover the cost of the beer at the Pig roast and it was discovered we did receive enough money to cover the beer.
