In the letter 105 days were added on, which now makes his completion date November 10. Glenn made a report on the new insurance policy Dunton has sent us. This policy gives the Town much more coverage than we had before. He feels this policy is a good one, since it does give us better coverage. Discussion was held on extra police protection. The Sheriff's Dept. has contacted all the small towns in the county about this. The charge for one deputy and patrol car is $3 an hour. The hours can be decided by the Council. It was decided that Mayor Bream will make an appointment for one of the deputies to come to the next Council meeting and explain this in more detail. Trees on the highway- Mr. Neuzil brought a letter from Maury Burr of the Highway Commission that said the Highway Comm. will not take down the trees on C. Haman's property. Also they will not clean out the ditch east of the gas station. It was decided that Mr. Neuzil write a letter to Mr. Burr asking him to reconsider his decision on these matters. He will send copies of the letter to Representative Mezvinsky, Senator Doderer, the County Health Officer, and the Highway Comm. District Engineer. The Clerk was instructed to write Mr. Tuttle asking him to send the Town a bill for tree removal, telling him that because of a limited budget we will not have anymore trees taken down now. Mayor Bream informed the Council that the Copper Kettle is open again. Teen Center- Mayor Bream attended a meeting at HACAP and he reported the Teen Center will be open again. There will be a dance Friday night. Glenn Potter made the motion to adopt a resolution suggested by the Highway Comm. stating that since the Town didn't need over 75% of Road Use Tax funds for arterial streets in 1969, the money could be used for local streets. Jerry Michel seconded it. Roll call vote-Aye-Flansburg, Michel, Potter, and Spivey. Nay-None.
