Brian Melchi called the meeting to order. 

Edwin Buswell presented the resolution the council needed to sign for the fire station grant stating that the town would provide a local match of $756,540.86 for the project. After much discussion Charlie Illingworth moved to sign the resolution for the local match, stating that if we are awarded the grant, discussion will take place by September 1^st on where exactly the match money will come from. Susie Sigo seconded the motion. Motion carried. 

Rodney Pitstick was present to as the council if Sacred Heart Church could attach directional signs to the town stop signs on the highway. The council stated he would need to speak to John Flinn as it may be Pitstick would need to get State Highway permission. 

Brian Melchi stated he had received a call from Ryan Byrd asking if he could be allowed to leave work early again this year as he did last year for coaching football practice. The council had no problem with this. 

Discussion was held on placement of a sewer line for Smith Transport. Smith wants to run the line differently than what Wastewater Supt. Bruce Messersmith wants them to run it. Brian Melchi has talked with Jon Borgers and Borgers has stated that there would be no problem with allowing Smith to run the line like they would like to our force main. There should be no problems if a check valve is installed and if there is a back-up valve installed. If anything did happen it would be on Smith property not on the town. 

Kay Brown asked the council what she was to do about the issue with Bruce Sayler's second connection fee. The council decided that the sewer use ordinance wording needed to be changed from "connection fee" to "tap fee". Susie Sigo then made a motion to waive the connection fee in question for Bruce Sayler. Jim Stewart seconded this motion. Motion carried. Brown will contact John Casey's office to have the amendment done to reflect the change. 

There being no further business to discuss the meeting was adjourned.
