The meeting was called to order by Mayor Pro Tem, Brian Sterett at 7:00 p.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Open Forum: Jody Bishop would like to sand the tables and benches at Reid Park and refinish them. She would need brushes, sand paper and water sealer. She would also like to paint a hop scotch game on one of the basketball court. Everyone agreed Jody could proceed. She has been mowing the lawn at Reid Park and will no longer be able to do so. That will be taken care of by the board.

Kathie made a motion to accept the treasurer's report, bills and June minutes. Nanci 2nd motion carried.

James reported he has the new mower. Several have cleaned up their yards.

We have had to mow a yard and they will be receiving a bill from the village. If we have to mow it a second time we will get the lawyer involved. Please keep the weeds down in your yards.

Mississippi Valley fixed a pump at the lift stations. They brought a pump for the lift station so we have a spare. James will be spraying the sidewalks on Main Street.
