         UNFINISHED BUSINESS

1.      There was no direct report from the sheriff’s department for this month.  The sheriff had spoken with Chairman Petersen about the water patrol on Long Lake.  The sheriff plans to present the matter to the county law enforcement committee.

2.      Roads – The town will receive some TRIP monies for work on Alp Rd that was last repaired in 1969.  With one exception there have been many compliments on the snowplowing work.  Mr Harris continues to complain about the quality of town plowing in his area; he also plows his snow across the town road.  Chairman Petersen plans to personally do the plowing on Harris’ road.

3.      Town Hall Rentals – There are upcoming rentals scheduled by the fire department, Sue Petersen for a wedding shower, Harriet Hansen for a summer event and the DNR as a regional training center.

4.      Saxeville/Springwater Fire Dept Chief reported that part of the Town of Mt Morris is contracting with the SSFD.  That adjusts the dollar amount of our town’s contract down.  Tim brought a revised contract reflecting that change.

5.      There was no other unfinished business.

NEW BUSINESS

1.      Snowmobile ordinances – the sheriff questioned if the town had current snowmobile ordinances.  There appear to be no ordinances, just a permission to use certain areas.

2.      Harold Hansen constructed a wooden frame for the large plat map, which can be attached to the wall.  Thanks were expressed for his work.

3.      There was no other new business.

The bills were presented for payment and the Clerk was instructed to pay them.

The next meeting was set for Monday, March 17, 2008, 8 PM at the town hall.

Motioned by Supervisor Timm, seconded by Supervisor Lind to adjourn the meeting at 9:10 PM. Voice vote, all in favor, motion carried.

Respectfully submitted,
Virginia Cartwright, Town Clerk
