Public Comment: Erin received a thank you card after the ice cream party. Minutes: The minutes of the May meeting were approved. Invoices: Invoices for May, June, and July were approved. Library/School: A concrete cap fell off near the entrance ( was hit by plow during winter). Repair has been made but communication during the process was poor. Meetings every other month Laurie reported that invoices need to be approved but could be every other month. It was moved and approved to hold meetings every other month except during the fall budget process. 100th anniversary activities The party was a great success. Interest in the parade is not high. The parade will still take place on a smaller scale and the food trucks have been cancelled. New Business Lit camp has 14 participants. The ice cream party had 145 people served. The summer reading program had 389 participants, an all time high. Erin asked the board to consider Firespring for web development. Laurie said the village has a firm which might be used. Erin will talk to Cindi about this. The meeting was adjourned at 4:03. The next meeting will be on September 2 at 3:30. Respectfully Submitted, John Multer
