Public Comments:  none

The minutes from the December 13, 2010 meeting were presented and Colerick moved with Kramer seconding to approve the minutes as printed.  Approved by unanimous voice vote 3-0.

The following reports were submitted to the Board:
Certified Operator, Dale Colerick:  attached
Clerk/Administrator, Lynn Golemboski:  Completing end of year activities.
Deputy Clerk, Barbara Nichols:  as printed
Maintenance, Ed Wahlert:  Opened up the drifts as needed during the recent snowstorm and high winds.  Yard water break in alley between Charles and Husky Drive was fixed; Yard water system froze up in the well house while shut down because of the break but now up and running.  There must be another break somewhere because the system is still pumping water at a low volume.  After discussion Wahlert will have the electrician install a thermostatically controlled electric heater so it doesn’t happen again.  It wasn’t a problem before but with such little usage and then shut off during the cold weather there wasn’t enough water going thru the lines to generate enough heat and keep from freezing.  It could continue to freeze up and as it is our fire control water system a heater is necessary.
Sheriff’s Report:  as printed.
