The Chair will notify the other town board members of any bid change. If Amon is still the lowest bid, the board will accept that bid subject to signing of contract conforming to the requirements of the invitation for bids. If Amon declines to perform or proposes contract price higher than the next lowest bid, the Chair is authorized to accept the next lowest bid subject to the contractor executing an agreement conforming to the requirements of the invitation for bids.� Supervisor Jerry Klassy seconded the motion. Motion carried.
8. Patrolman�s report: Bob Zurfluh reported that Schmalbeck�s mail box is fixed, rock and gravel have been used on Oliver Road, ditching was done, the International snowplow was washed and the oil pan fixed; the �95 truck developed problems and was fixed. Some blacktopping was done once and they need to do it again. He also needs to put cattle sign on Witt Road and Oliver Road needs curve signs. He will prepare a list of needed road signs to give to Chair Sally Roe so they can be ordered. Chair Sally Roe asked that the spots identified on Feldt and Sulzer roads be fixed. The board asked that Bob use larger rock in the wash-out spots. Gutzmer Road has a wash-out area also that needs rock.
9. Driveway permit: The Oliver Road roadway for Northern Natural Gas is ready to begin construction after finishing the permit process. Chair Sally Roe asked Bob Zurfluh to deliver a culvert (18� X 30�) to the site. Weisners still need to give the board a letter of certification of slope and Chair Sally Roe asked how the board wants to handle this. The board will look at it.
10. Abandonment of Road: The board is waiting for a letter from Corporation Counsel before proceeding.
11.

The motion was seconded by Supervisor Jerry Klassy. Motion carried.
12. Fire district/EMS summary: Fire Department is looking at the purchase of a grass truck. They want to keep old one in service and buying a grass fire unit to place on the pickup truck the Fire Department already has. This option makes a more flexible choice. No decision has been made at this time.
13. Other business:
a. Marlis Silver said that the Town has nothing in writing for EMS or 1st response call billing to town residents. She suggested that the board either amend the past ordinance or make sure it is covered in another ordinance.
