The board will also reach out to First State Bank and ask about better rates for what we currently have with them. We will continue to work with the town of Sherry in operating the joint recycling center. We will continue to use The Marshfield Herald for publishing notices. We will be putting in a bump-out addition on the east side of our town hall this late spring/early summer. This space will include an ADA compliant restroom, utility room, and office. The furnace will be moved into the utility room to help with the noise. The ceiling will be properly sealed to deter bugs and pests. The foundation issue on the west side will be fixed. The money for this project has already been set aside. We have reached out to local contractors for bids on any work that we will not be doing ourselves. The shop needs some preventative maintenance work done. The roof needs to be sealed, new lights need to be installed, and the doors need new seals. We hope to accomplish some of this in the upcoming year. A motion was moved by Ron to adjourn. Seconded by Paul. Meeting adjourned. The next annual meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 19. 2027 at 7:30 pm at the town hall.
