Supervisor report: Ted – major storm damage after last month’s meeting, trees downed a powerline across Argue Rd. EMS is now Sugar River EMS, seven municipalities are members up from five, and the EMS staff already submitted and won a state grant. Mark – the trees that fell during storm – who can take them? Ted - anyone can take them, first come first served. Citizen Input: No comments Committee Reports: Mark – 67 cars at the June 18 Cruise Night, $709 before expenses and $58 in donations. Next car show – Thursday, July 16. Please put the following on the agenda for next month – buying trash and recycle cans, running electrical to pickleball court/mini shelter/flagpole/parking lot light. I will contact Clark or Reeb for estimates for electrical. We might add another basketball hoop, but we would have to reconfigure the court. Unfinished: August 20 – Cruise Night – Would we allow the Legion Post from Belleville to run the food stand and keep the profits? Rick – Park committee talked about this and decided No to be allowing any outside fundraisers. There are too many things the park needs to let others take over the lunch stand during Cruise Nights. New Business: • EMS representative appointment - fire department has an eight-member board and Sugar River EMS will have a seven-member board. Burt Boldebuck was already appointed by Ted at the Sugar River EMS meeting and Burt was elected as president of the Sugar River EMS board during that same meeting. The board has limits and any monetary issues must come before each municipality board. Adjourn: Motion to adjourn, (KB/MG), all in favor, adjourned 7:22PM Respectfully Submitted, Dawn Marie Sass, Clerk/Deputy Treasurer
