Discussion was held on whether the tax levy was appropriate.  Motion by Leonard McLaughlin, second by Donald E. Johnson to rescind the motion to accept the resolution for the tax levy from the September 8, 2008 regular council meeting.  All voted in favor, motion carried. 

 

Discussion was held on increasing the budget by $5988 for the seal coating project and then transferring the remaining funds if needed for this project from the Bar & Grill Fund.
