The Clerk presented the correspondence from Attorney McGuire.  McGuire has received orders to deploy to Afghanistan.  He is suggesting two items that need to be taken care of soon:
    1.  The Board should appoint the firm of Brandenburg and McGuire PC as the Town Attorney so that
         either Dennis Brandenburg or Ginger Geissinger could handle Town matters as they arise.
         Currently the Board appoints McGuire as our town attorney.
    2.  Carney Holdings LLC’s outstanding debt to the Town has been certified to the Morgan County
         Treasurer for collection without result.  McGuire recommends that we authorize him to send an
         official letter to the Bank of Colorado, who holds the note on the Hillrose Mobile Home Park, with a
         carbon copy to Carney advising that we will begin foreclosure proceedings if the debt is not
         brought current.
After discussion Colerick moved with Wahlert seconding to authorize McGuire to send an official letter to the Bank of Colorado and Carney Holdings LLC that the town intends to start foreclosure proceedings on the tax lien on the Hillrose Mobile Home Park property owned by Carney Holdings LLC.  A roll call vote was taken with all present voting yes, motion carried 4-0.  Wahlert moved with Colerick seconding to appoint Brandenburg and McGuire PC as our town attorney.  A roll call vote was taken with all present voting yes, motion carried 4-0.

The Board received copies of the two proposals for the Manhole Sealing Project.  Work Force Inc. and Interstate Irrigation Inc.  Both proposals were reviewed and questions asked of their representatives.  After discussion Colerick moved to accept Interstate Irrigation Inc’s proposal to coat the inside of the manhole with a spray on cementatious sealant for $3500 with Wahlert seconding.  A roll call vote was taken with all present voting yes, motion carried 4-0.

Golemboski asked the Board to considering having Work Force Inc. clean some sewer lines.  Historically there has been a couple of areas south of Charles Street at Beaver Street that has shown sediment built up and the trunk line has not been cleaned for several years due to the sewer fund cash shortage from the unpaid tax liens.  After discussion Colerick moved to have Work Force Inc. clean sewer lines from Beaver Street to the lift station at the quoted price of $1.00 per linear foot for 8” diameter pipe with Wahlert seconding.  A roll call vote was taken with all present voting yes, motion carried 4-0.

Golemboski presented a letter from Trustee Smith addressed to the Board.  The letter was opened and contained his resignation.  The Smith’s have recently moved from Hillrose to Washington State to help their son and his family.  Doug has Glioblastoma Multiforme (Grade 4 Brain Cancer).  Wahlert moved with Colerick seconding to accept Smith’s resignation regretfully.  A roll call vote was taken with all present voting yes, motion carried 4-0.  The Board asked that the vacancy be posted on the website, noted in the newsletter and an ad ran in the Brush News Tribune for the first Wednesday in April.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:21 p.m.
