Lori Dallinger and Mary Jo Monday gave an overview of the services provided by the Portage County Business Council. Several Pamphlets were distributed for review. They explained about their Marketing Campaign, Business Membership, and partnering with Municipal Governments. The starting fee would be a donation of $500.00. They provide free learning sessions to members and about 1,400.00 Newsletters with business briefs are distributed each month.
The Business Council is an Avenue for the Village to voice their concerns as the Council works directly with the Legislature.
Although the Business Council will work WITH the Village, they cannot work FOR the Village. It takes a lot of participation from the Village to facilitate growth. The Business Council mentioned that other businesses in Rosholt just placed membership and they encourage the Village to consider becoming member also.

Kaminski/Garski to approve Joan Yenter as a Poll

System Repair
Maintenance Bob

caused to the phone system panel board in the
The board instructed him to submit a claim to the property insurance company. If our plan coverage is for replacement costs, Bob should order a new panel.

Tires & Repairs
on
Village Trucks
Maintenance Bob presented prices to purchase new tires for the Pick-up truck as follows:
Rosholt Automotive Sales $98.62 each mounted, balanced, new valve stems Gordy’s 66 Service $105.50 each installed and balanced
Prices were also presented to Weld the box on the dump truck as follows:
McCune Auto Body $325.00
Anderson Machine Shop $verbal quote of $200.00 or less.
Kaminski stated the Equipment planning & purchasing committee would gather bids for purchasing new tires and authorized Bob to perform the welding repairs on the dump truck instead of taking it to McCune or Anderson.
<>*Bob was instructed to refer future items like these to the Equipment Planning & Purchasing Committee.**OLDBUSINESS:
Sewer Generator
Repair/Replacement
The existing 1973 generator cannot be repaired due to outdated parts. Maintenance Bob states he does not have much knowledge about generators and does not want the responsibility of obtaining an incorrect model to operate the sewer lift stations. Therefore, a proposal was presented by David Hansen of Earth Tech in the amount of $1,500.00. Earth Tech will prepare specifications for bids and will assist the Board in the bidding process.
Several board members don’t see the need for engineering assistance. They feel the board can shop for a generator on their own. Other board members are not comfortable with that responsibility and would prefer to have assistance from Earth Tech.
The wording of the contract with Earth Tech was discussed and David Hansen agreed to Earth Tech processing the bid proposals instead of assisting the Village with the task. Earth Tech will present the bids to the board for a final decision on purchasing a generator.
Motion: Garski/Gemza to approve the Contract Agreement Proposal from Earth Tech in the amount of $1,500.00 with the understanding that Earth Tech will perform the bidding process. All in favor. Carried.
Centennial Celebration Committee: Kate Zdroik presented four (4) people willing to be appointed as officers (Chairperson, secretary, and two as treasurers) of the Centennial Celebration Committee: Lee Miller, Chris Martin, Mary Jane Zdroik and Kate Zdroik.
The board requires the committee to notify them of what positions these officers will serve, take minutes of their proceedings, obtain two (2) signatures on all checks written, and present a report at regular monthly board meetings.
Motion: Moore/Williams to appoint Lee Miller, Chris Martin, Mary Jane Zdroik and Kate Zdroik to serve as officers of the Centennial Celebration Committee. All in favor. Carried.

Motion:
Moore/Kaminski to approve an Operator’s License for
Jennifer Schmidt. All in favor. Carried.
Snow & Ice
Removal
Ordinance Amendment
Osowski advises, that after reviewing the existing ordinance, there doesn’t seem to be a need for an amendment. The ordinance is very clear and the Board should be able to enforce compliance. There was no further discussion.
