  14. Kevin said he forgot during the meeting but they had a Wellhead Protection meeting and it was recommended that the fuel tanks be double walled tanks at the Pole Barn and he priced these and they would be approximately $2,000.00 each.  Dan Adams said Greentown Equipment just got some new double wall tanks and they were provided by the fuel company.  Kevin will check with the company now servicing us to see if they will provide them and if they don’t h will look into Co-Alliance, the same place Greentown Equipment got theirs.
  15. Ordinance 2011*2 had the second reading by Scott Deyoe and there was hardly anyone present to listen.  No one had any comment so it will have the 3rd reading next month or suspension of rules and pass on second reading.
