Agenda:
1. A. Roehling Trucking has submitted a proposal of $1,200 to take down, haul away and level ground where the Baker’s Field Shelter currently sits. Village received only one other bid and that one was $800 to tear out the concrete. The Village would still have to remove the structure.

Jennings, seconded by Miller to accept the bid by Roehling Construction of $1,200 to take down, haul way and level ground at Baker’s Field Park. Motion carried.
B. The new shelter has to be completed by May 1, 2007. The Village received 2 bids concrete for the new Shelter. Jeff Adler was $7,400 (The cost may raise if the cost of concrete goes up) and Bindl’s Construction was $7,500. The Finance Committee recommends Jeff Adler. Bids for building a new shelter were Koenecke Construction $10,400 and Hartje Lumber $9,800. The Finance Committee recommends Koenecke Construction. Koenecke’s built the last 2 shelters. Motion by K. Jennings, seconded by Miller to hire Jeff Adler for the concrete at a cost not to exceed $8,000. Motion carried. Motion by Roehling, seconded by Field to table the decision on contractor until the February meeting. Motion carried.

Alliant has an e-auction doming up February 1 through February 9, 2007 and would like to have the ability to negotiate for one if the right one comes available. The Electric Department has the money to purchase the truck when one becomes available. Motion to authorize K.

6. Motion by S. Jennings, seconded by K. Jennings to spend up to $250 to purchase and install a security gate to secure the Village Hall from the garage area. Motion carried.
