Commissioner Rensberger reported there will not be a need for one. Commissioner Rensberger also reported there will be a few trees removed and stump grinding done. The total cost of the project should come into a price range in the low $20,000 mark with funds left over for goals. The six acres of grass has been sprayed and will be sprayed again in the Spring. He also gave a report on the handicap fishing pier and the waterless toilet.

He then informed the Council that Mark Lancaster of Lancaster Builders and Charles Jenkins may approach the Town asking for De-Annexation of the property on Coppermine Road.
Burgess Smith informed the Council the Town has no back up motors to the salt spreaders and if one would break down we would be sitting idle instead of plowing the streets. He presented a price of $210 for a motor that would replace the small spreader on the red truck. All agreed we should get one and Commissioner Eaves even thought it would be a good idea to get other back up parts.
