 UNFINISHED BUSINESS

1. Fire Siren – The siren was tested manually in 2006 and would soon be tested again.  There are no guarantees on its’ operation.  Someone needs to climb the tower to set it off.  Nine sirens would be needed to cover the entire town.  This appears to be a dead issue and the Clerk was asked to omit it from the next agenda.
2. Land Use Planning – The County submitted a grant to the state for funding; it was not approved.  Larger counties used the money. The Land Use Plan for Saxeville is still tentative.
3. 2006 Road Work – No paving was done in 2006.  A lot of crack filling and seal coating was accomplished and 31^st received limestone. 
4. There was no other unfinished business.

 NEW BUSINESS

1. Leon-Saxeville Library – The library director handed out fact sheets on the library.  It lists hours, current programs and ongoing services available at the library.  Both Towns of Saxeville and Leon are included in the upcoming plans for activities.
2. Road Work Scheduled for 2007 – 31^st needs paving, Alp Rd between 29^th and 30^th needs attention.  Current costs are $80-$90,000/mile for hot mix and about $20,000 less for cold mix.  $20,000 of brush cutting will be done. Lange Company is installing the recommended new size and type of fire signs.  They are larger and some signs are double-sided.  The bridge at The Ding area needs work.  The extra dirt on the bridge needs to be removed to reduce the weight on the bridge to help conserve the bridge. Current road conditions are tracked on computer.  The Board will meet with the paving contractor to set up a definite plan.
3. The next meeting was set for Monday, April 21, 2008, 8:00 PM at the Town Hall.
4. There was no other new business.

 Motioned by Vern Hess, seconded by Jason Timm to adjourn the meeting at 8:45 PM.  Voice vote, all in favor, motion carried.

 Respectfully submitted, Virginia Cartwright, Clerk
