        Mrs. McPhillips wanted to know if anything was being done with the water leak near Meyer Insurance.  Denny will contact Curran and Edler to see if they will do the job.

 

        An issue on street maintenance on Taylor was brought up because of a complaint. According to Mr. Bunker, Cox does not have any cold pack. 

 

        Do we fix the light on the water tower or does anyone else?  Mr. Bunker did the last time but he seems to think that there might be something else wrong with it.  He seems to replace it about every month.

            Mrs. McPhillips spoke with Mr. Meyer regarding insurance.  Mr. Meyer said that there should be someone here to do an audit shortly.  However, we have not seen anyone to date.  He was going to have Bliss McKnight here tonight to explain everything.  No one came.  

 

            Jerry Hastings donated $400 for the Ivey Pond Project.

 

            Parking lot lighting estimates are in.  All we need to do is find out where we can put the lights.  We have to determine who owns the lots where the proposed lighting will go.  Mr. Croup and Mrs. Wire will measure off the area to determine who owns the property.  We need to clarify if Com Ed provides the maintenance, etc.
