We will continue to bring this matter up at each USDA Grant- Since PACE was canceled this year everyone thought it would be a good idea to do a virtual meeting but Robbie was the only one who was really asking for anything. So now that we have Peggy Jamison back as a circuit rider Robbie got in contact with her and she is working on a USDA grant for a new dump truck. We talked to the mechanic that we take the truck to before about pricing on a new transmission for it and ifit is worth it. It would cost around $5000 for a new one or more and the shape that the dump truck isi in now we would be better off to get a new one if we can. Itis very rusted underneath. So happy to have Peggy back to help us with this grant.  meeting. For now we will keep it closed.  Mayor and Council:  Theresa- Michael and Iwould like to thank the guys for doing such a great job with plowing this year. Since we are home, we can hear them and they are out all the time keeping the roads great. There is a wall behind my house that is a rock wall that is holding up an old alleyway. The rocks are falling out or else someone has been taking them out. But not sure if we had to fix it since it is on our property or if that is the Town's part. Robbie said it would be on the town to fixi it. He will get up there to look at itand we may even need to call the County's Engineer to come down and take a look at  it. Mike- nothing Sharon- nothing  Rebecca- is the town still wanting to put a building up for the leaf vacuum? Robbie says, we were planning it but since covid hit we took it out of the budget for this year since we didn't know what was going to happen with covid. But we will have to bring it back up at the next budget meetings and see if we can put it in this year. Also, Jessica andl are going to be cleaning out that spot next to where the town wanted to put that building since there is brush and snakes down in there sO the kids have somewhere safe to play. Since people fly coming down that road, we want them to be safe.

Was thinking of doing something like Christians crossing. A thrift store of some kind. To get started with some fund I would need a building that Ido not have to pay rent or utilities for. Iwas wondering if the Town had anything available or ideas of wherelcan get a place. Anything that I make in this Iwould donate back toward the community whether it be Kitzmiller or another community that needs it. Katie suggested the community building, but it needs to be handicap accessible. Rebecca suggested using a room upstairs at the school, but you would have to bring everything downstairs when opening. Katie suggested using the old teachers lounge to store the stuff SO they are not going up and down the steps then they would just have to bring it out to the gym if they used the gym building. Theresa said we would have to see if we can do that since we are not renting the school now, we would have to go by the guidelines. Sharon suggested the room that Diane Nye Paugh has her trains in since she has not had it open but during the winter and this would bring more people and/or profit that would be giving back to the community.
