Public Input: A. William Johnson: Bill circulating at Madison for allowing election polls worker to be from anywhere in the county, and not just the town. Bill has no idea whether or not the bill will pass.

B. The Frederic Village Board adopted a winter ATV ordinance, which allows ATVs on snowmobile trails within the town. An additional ordinance will be made for the warm weather months.

Old Business: None

Employee Report: A. The grader was broke down, and Leonard Knauber changed the hydraulic and ignition oil and found parts of the cage that holds one of the bearings together. The cage would’ve had to break sometime in the last couple years, as they change the oil every 100K miles. Kevin requested any recommendations for the transmission. He hasn’t noticed any problems before. The board would like to continue until he notices a problem, as this may have been a onetime event.

B. Truck and Trailer got the tie rod end in. The work on the springs is done.

C. Leonard Knauber would like to be paid before the next meeting for the work that was completed today. The total would be about $1500 for labor. Simon has already paid for the parts which were about $1700.

D. Dump Truck: They don’t have anyone that can individually work on the mower, but a few people may be able to get it done. Kevin will work on seeing where they could get some welding done when the weather turns better.

E. Mike Duncan hasn’t turned in any beaver tails, sounds like he may not be turning in any.

Correspondence: A. Clerk contacted our assessor and we have set our date for the Board off Review for May 21^st. Open book at 3-5:00pm, BOR at 5:00-7pm.

New Business: A. The Northland Ambulance Agreement is on hold until next meeting as they were making additions/corrections to the contract.
