There is another application that Kellogg will be reviewing, a gentleman from Omaha and she will be in contact with him. Wolf stated that she had been in contact with a Burt County official and they would like us to get someone as soon as possible or he will get someone and there will be a charge to the community.

5) Streets Monthly Report –   Bolln reported that there are issues with streets that the frost has thawed and that they will be addressed. The cold mix has been delivered.

Bolln stated that we will table the issue until next month and review the signs.
    6) Recycling- Kellogg asked if the recycling center was making any money. Clerk reported that it is costing us 1637.81 to have the recycling center. Last year we had $362. in income. Richards would like to look into this he thinks more has been made. The clerk will look into this matter. Kellogg stated that we will continue the recycling as is for now. Richards stated that we have lots of volunteers that help out and that it is used by the community. Wolf had the idea that if we target the recycling to support something in the community it would bring in a lot more knowing they are supporting something in the community.

6)         OLD BUSINESS
           1) Results from the Community Survey’s- Kellogg reported that of the 92 survey’s the majority were not interested in saving the toll booth and that the state will be coming in to tear down the toll booth mid to end of summer. Other concerns were street repairs, cleaning up the old houses and yards, policing, over staffing of hours for employees, and employee’s insurance. She has them compiled and we need to take each concern into consideration. This will take awhile. A little bit each time we’ll have to go over those. We have a handle on a couple of these issues, street repairs will be done when weather is nice.

2) Clean-up day provider- Clerk stated that she has done a comparison and it would be cheaper to go with Carrier Container Company out of Onawa. They will be here to remove the containers the day of the cleanup, May 16th.

Kellogg made a motion that we use Carrier Container Company for the cleanup day Richards seconded. Roll call- Tolby-yes, Bolln-yes, Wolf-yes, Kellogg-yes, Richards-yes.

3) James Phelps- Road weight restriction- Phelps asked the board if any decision has been made on the road limit. Richards stated that the city would have to have a resolution passed to post a sign stating weight restrictions and that would need to be typed up by our attorney. Phelps asked how long this would take. Richards stated possibly 2 months. Bolln will oversee.

7)         NEW BUSINESS
           1) Resolution #142- Participation in Papio- Missouri River NRD Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan.

  1. Budget to Actual Comparison – Dave stated that overall if we look at our whole Village; I think at this point, our first quarter; we have done a good job at keeping our expenses down and our revenues coming in. The goal is to build some of the cash balances back. He feels six months of reserve should be kept on hand. Dave will continue to give quarterly reports. Carol Kellogg representing the Sears Operational Committee discussed some concerns with Dave.

    3. Appoint a Village Clerk – Kellogg made a motion to go into an executive meeting for a few minutes. Wolf seconded the motion. Roll Call: Tolby-yes, Richards-yes, Bolln-yes, Kellogg-yes, Wolf-yes. Time 5:10 pm. Richards made a motion to come out of executive session. Bolln seconded the motion. Roll Call: Kellogg-yes, Tolby-yes, Wolf-yes, Richards-yes, Bolln-yes. Time 5:17 pm. Wolf made a motion that we hire Ann Chytka at $12.00 an hour to start; with a possible raise in three months. Kellogg seconded the motion. Roll Call: Kellogg-yes, Tolby-yes, Richards-yes, Wolf-yes, Bolln-yes. Ann does not need the employee insurance provided through the Village; she has her own. Ann will start Monday January 26, 2015

Chairman Kellogg asked if there were any questions from the audience. Charlie Redding asked about the police ad in the paper that states 100% paid family insurance. He wanted to know if the Village paid for the whole family because some places only pay for just the employee. The Village does not have a retirement plan so the 100% paid family insurance is offered.
