Joe also stated that he spoke with Kevin Seelbach and Kevin is applying for the permit to install the electric service in the new maintenance shed.  Joe mentioned that he spoke with the builder of the new addition on the maintenance about the question of the footing.  The builder told Joe that they went deep enough to hit solid rock and it is secure.

DECEMBER 8, 2009 SECURITY REPORT

Still peaceful, I’m happy to report.  I received one report of a possible prowler on the north side last month, but there have been no further reports regarding this incident.

As you know, we will lose Stryker Security after Dec. 31.  I have had no success in generating interest from other security companies.  I am waiting for a call back from Raintree regarding their efforts to find a replacement for Stryker.  It would seem that no one is interested in only working Friday and Saturday evenings, and only 10 or 12 hours per week.  Maybe we will have to do without a guard until spring when we increase the hours to 24 hours/week.  The increased hours might then encourage some company to bid for a contract with us.

Hopefully, the security gate will be fully operational by the end of the year, and I would again like to encourage the board to close it 24/7.

Respectfully submitted
Rick Hannick  

Old Business (Floor) 
Rich Hirsch stated that the propane tank for the community house is empty and must be refilled.  Refilling the propane tank is the responsibility of the LTIA.  The members of the LTIA that were present at the meeting said they were on top of it.

Friends and family of Matt Schweiss addressed the board with their questions and comments about the cell tower.
