Robbie said just what the county goes by and the town does have al leash law. Her yard is full of poop can do to the people who are coming onto her property and letting their animals use the bathroom? Robbie said if you do that you should call and turn it into animal control, they are the ones who would have to take care ofit now. Better for a resident to call animal control to be able to talk to them and explain things better that is happening on their property. Becky said you must make sure you are calling not just talking around town about it, because nothing will be done ifyou don'tcall. Ifyou put cameras up and find out who it is and say something to that person first, then that would work and ifit does  if she puts  cameras is there anything the town  when she comes up. She is wondering  up  not stop then go forward with contacting animal control. O We will put it in the newsletter for a reminder for people. and there are people who are parking there across road is.

Tabitha Upton- Asked about when was the last newsletter put out. Some people did not even know about the fireworks during that event. Katie explained she has not put a newsletter out since December 2019 because when Covid hit we stopped everything and there was no reason to send out ai newsletter when I was not in the office working nor anything going on besides canceling everything. And for the fireworks Ihad event posted on Facebook, flyers hanging at the post office, coal bucket, and outside town office door. Tabitha continue with asking about the office hours, shel knows of someone within the last two weeks trying to stop in the office and Katie was not there, they tried 4 times last week. Katie explained that her office is open Monday Wednesday and Friday 8:15-4:15 but she does get pulled to clean the park bathrooms everyday and sometimes gets pulled to the school, but she always has a note on1 the door. And she never received any phone calls or messages of someone trying to get ahold ofher. She will be putting a newsletter  out this coming week, and the office hours will be in there.

Renting the school building out- Robbie talked to Bob Steven at the health dept he gave us the go ahead to be able to start renting the school out ifwe want. But with that being sad we will need to make sure everyone is following guidelines, wearing masks, sanitizing, and social distancing. Only 50% of what the building can hold. Now we do have head start in here now and they are cooking in the kitchen sO the kitchen would be off limits to anyone renting it since they do all the cooking here now and tol keep it safe for the kids. The kids do walk up the ramp and into the building that way is something else to think about. Maybe investigate a fogger machine and see what that would cost. So we can check with someone at the county see what they think, check fogger prices, inspections what needs done, at risk forms, sign in and out sheet of all whose here, not using the kitchen. Sharon and Becky suggest that we wait until the first of the year to see how this year finishes out. We will revisit this subject every meeting. We will hold off on Moving the office- Katie made a statement on moving the office to the school, not only because everyone knows where the school is but it will help to show that we want to keep the school alive, more space, Katie is always there. Robbie suggested the lease can be broken at any point if we would get new commissioners in. Becky said yes it would be more convenient, but you are only a minute away. Storage Becky feels Katiel keeps the office storage of stuff good now because when Diane was there, she has stuff everywhere and still made it work. Moving decoration would be a good idea. Elder people she feels is would not be good ifthey had to stand outside in the cold and wait for someone to come answer the door. Her vote is No. Theresa voted no not much of a benefit. Sharon -No, *Becky motion to not move the office to the school building, Theresa 2nd, 4-0.  renting the building out at this point.  Mike- doesn'ti matter his vote now everyone said no.  Mayor and Council:  Robbie- Backboards new and put back up. Also has anyone notice that there has been a lot of out of state people parking and walking the floodwall or in the park? Some people have no where else to go sO they travel here to walk our floodwall. Iti is nice to see these Mike- Movie night went great for the empowerment group had about 40 people. Sharon- Dogs are getting loss down on the East Main st end. Katie talk to those people twice now and next time she will call animal control, or the residents can call animal control as well. And the church light. Yes, have called twice now its just waiting for Becky- Parking along State St to unload groceries is not the safest thing to do. There have been people parking along there for a long period of time and its hard for people to get by or people coming down through to stop. Dead trees on Oak St (Tom Ashby) winter is coming and we need to take care ofthose trees before they fall. Men's bathroom light here at the school does not work. Katie noticed it today, the guys will get it fixed.  people enjoy this. Theresa- No  someone to come down.    *Diane noted that the garden did good this year with produce. She would take it  or drive around town and ask people. Robbie asked Ifs she  to the post office ifyou get  messy. Yes she had someone who  can get it cleaned out because it looks  it all out and  was supposed to but it did not work out.

There was a yellow line there at one point but has faded away now. Robbie said we can repaint it. Not sure who is doing it but think it might be the town dumping stuff at the end oft the park, there was a pole there that looks like it could guys have come from when they fixed the fence by the church and a pipe that looks like maybe from spring st when they fixed that. Plus, there is a bunch of debris dumping there that looks like garden stuff maybe from when they picked up afterschool stuff. Itj just looks SO bad when you come into town. It right where people used to be able to walk up to the fossil bed. There was also a tree that was cut down and still had the green sign attached to its someone put in there. Robbie said he will have them remove everything.  Nancy spoke up, asking about the dumpster and if that stuff that can go in there? Sharon spoke up and said some people are taking stuff down to the dumpster who are not town workers on days the gate may be open, can they do that? Robbie said not supposed to be. Nancy asked about fall pick up. Robbie told her the county said we can only have one a year they were during the two a year because we don'thave much but this year, they are  only allowing one.)
