Audrey Christensen presented some concerns she had dealing with things at the town hall: a.) after an inspection of the hall by Sheriff Peterson, several safety items are needed b.) easily movable ballot boxes for elections c.) missing town hall furniture d.) damaged flagpole, and e.) emergency plan for tree removal. The Board will gather some safety items that were suggested such as flashlights, a small first aid kit and a posted set of emergency plans. Emergency lighting in bathrooms and the office, a public telephone and an automatic door opener will need further discussion. A plan for easily movable ballot boxes will be studied with Paul Christensen, who may be able to build some for the elections. Some older, extra hall furniture had been sold for a minimal amount when an adequate number of new tables and padded chairs had been purchased.
