Mr. Veverka indicated that the Attorneys will publish the notices in Paddock Publications.  Mr. Veverka mentioned that the 2003-2004 tax objections have been settled.  Mr. Veverka reminded everyone that the Ethic statements will be mailed in March.

 

Mr. Szyska verified that the Trustees received the Staff Meeting Minutes.  He mentioned that the District has received 32 seasonal applications to date.  The seasonal starting pay rate will remain the same as last year.  Mr. Szyska mentioned that the Union postponed negotiations until March 9th.

 

Mr. Szyska mentioned that there have been some changes in the regulations for underground storage tanks so the sump containment areas at the tanks have to be upgraded.  The cost will be $5000 to $6000 per tank.  The District plans to convert to propane heating at the Bartlett facility.  This will require another underground storage tank but since this is a gas as opposed to a liquid it will not be subject to the same regulations.  

 

Mr. Szyska is working on purchasing the new network copier.

 

There being no further business to come before the Board a motion was made to adjourn and it passed unanimously.
