There was a discussion of the Length of Service Award Program (LOSA). Jon VanAmerongan, President of the Saxeville-Springwater Volunteer Fire Department explained that 20 members would qualify for the program.  The Town of Saxeville will be the sponsor in charge of the program. The Town will need to send a letter of responsibility and a bill for $2900.00 to the Town of Springwater; Saxeville will then write one check for $5800.00 to the “Glatfelter Insurance Group”.  The paperwork will be filled out and sent in by January 31, 2004

Sheriff Peterson wanted to know if the Town had any complaints or things he needed to know.  One issue brought up was the concern of cars speeding on “W” across the millpond.  Sheriff Petersen said they might put a radar sign there that shows speed.  This will be in place for a while to see if it helps with the problem.  Ray Hahn stated that signs should be put up to let people know the fire trucks enter on “W”.  Ray also brought to the board’s attention that the town hall parking lot would be good to use for Theda Star helicopter landing in case of an emergency.
