The longest item was not on the agenda: Special Recognition of Fire Rescue.

Second longest at two minutes was 7d. MOU with City of Remerton for Fire Inspection and Plan Review Services.

They’re adding to the agenda for voting Tuesday evening Carter Way emergency access. Maybe by then they’ll know how much it will cost to repair this private road: again.

The Library Board reappointment applicant was not there. The public got one day’s notice that others could apply.

The mystery boring under US 84 for a water main is explained.
