in attendance.
7. Report from the Veteran’s Luncheon: The Veterans luncheon was a

Hangar; we will go back to having it at the Activity Building. There
were 193 that signed in at the front table.
8. Discussion and possible actions regarding the Budget and Purchasing:
Read and Reviewed.
9. Report from Recreation Superintendent: We researched the error
code on the broken treadmill and Jamie called a few repair company’s
and the motor will need to be replaced, the parts are no longer
available and if we could find a part it would be about $1600.00. The
treadmill is over 12 years, way past the warranty; the parts are not
made anymore, so we did not think it was a good idea to spend that
money on repairing it. We researched some commercial grade
treadmills; the new one would cost roughly $2700.00. Waiting for
funds to be transferred over to purchase the treadmill.
10. Comments made by the Public: Make announcements that you do
not have to contribute to the donation box to participate in the
activities in the building. Complaints have been made about the
charge of the painting class. The fees include the cost of the paints,
paintbrushes and any other supplies.
