TOWN OF SKANAWAN, LINCOLN COUNTY ANNUAL TOWN BOARD MEETING April 17, 2018
Present: Chairman Ben Mehring, Supervisors Mike Sievert and Mike Lucas, and Treasurer Jean Zoellner. Also, Present: 3 town residents/property owners’. The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m., followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
Minutes of the April 9th meeting were read and accepted. Motion by Ben M., Mike Sievert. Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer reported 12/31/17 balances of the following: Checking Account: 481,799.36; Investment Pool: 21.67; TCB 91-Day Certificate: 77,730.66; Total cash and bank accounts: 559,551.69; which includes the Equipment Fund of 4,804.20 which was transferred to the building fund; a Contingency fund of 3,002.00 which was also transferred to the Building fund; with a new building fund of 131,787.92.
Following are the3/31/18 balances. Checking Account: $382,417.45; Investment Pool, $21.73; TCB 91-Day Certificate, $77,730.66. Total cash and bank accounts: $460,169.84, which includes the Equipment Fund of $5,000; Building Fund, $131,983.72 and Contingency Fund of $5000.00. Recycling: none Open Discussion: Jean reported that we increased our building fund. However, the concern from the board is that quotes for the New Town Hall will come in much higher than our building fund. At that time the Town Board will decide whether to wait to build or transfer funds from the town’s balance to fund the building.
Road projects for the year was the next topic of discussion. The culvert on Grundy road needs repaired, crack sealing needs done on as many of the asphalt roads that the Town can afford to do, spot repairs on N Grundy road need done, and the road budget will be over this year due to the extra snow plowing costs in April.
Question was raised if the Towns finances will balanced; Jean and Loyetta replied that they would balance their books to balance with the bank starting as of 1/1/18, since they could find nothing but of few forgotten deposits and nothing else of subsequence.
Recycling this month was good, however, we need to have an official sign in book. So a sign in book will be kept at Town Hall to ensure this is being done.
Meeting adjourned 7:40pm.
