sept 9th, 2021 Tonight's board meeting was quite the doozy, here is a rough summary of what was discussed that might apply to those interested. -Public comments regarding noise being made by construction on certain roads, as well as Zaharion automotive having an excess of cars on their lot that have just been sitting there? Both issues are being addressed. -Deb proposed a wage study to make sure our public servants are being paid appropriately in the event that some ppl are making more (or less) than their position would reckon. Tracy, Rachelle, Dick Brown and Jim Mead were all against it, citing a misuse of taxpayers dollars, but it doesn't use taxpayer money and instead is money awarded by the state to be used freely. -Sewer rates are going up because the state wants to make greater strides towards being ecofriendly. -This was the final zoom meeting, all meetings from now on will be in person (though there was a suggestion to do them via facebook live?) -Summer ta...

There was also the complaint regarding the $195/mo ad spending paid for by the supervisor out of her budget, which is being done on a monthly trial basis and will end within the next few months...

He spends a lot of time going over the details of said study and his methods of conducting it, but essentially he states that though our Treasurer and Clerk are both below the minimum pay range, bc the...
