Butch Kofal had spoken at the Regular Town Board meeting on the 21st of October regarding this item.  The Conservation Club will build and maintain the platform as they do with the rest of the Archery Range. 

Motion (Porter/Meinke) to approve the building of an elevated platform at the Archery Range by the Conservation Club.  Jerry Witt will put a sign at the entrance to the Rifle Range saying “Use at your own risk”.  Motion carried.

 The board continued to review the budget for presentation at the Budget hearing on November 18th.  The hearing will begin at 6:00PM, and will be followed by the Special Town Meeting to adopt the levy, then the Regular Town Board meeting will follow after that.   The Board would like an inventory list of all equipment from all the departments by January 1st of each year.  Anything valued at $500.00 or more should be listed, with serial numbers, model numbers, brand, and original cost of the item.  It will be easier to track and budget for replacement of our equipment.
