Money has already been set aside for this project. New Business: Nick Nigh spoke about the Sherry Volunteer Fire Department and answered questions about how they served our community in 2024. We appreciate his briefing. The clerk is working on W2 forms for all board members and town employees. The clerk has been asked to contact the Town of Sherry and ask their board to come to the February meeting to discuss the upcoming year. We continue to receive questions in regard to last year’s revaluation. The clerk has been asked to reach out to our assessor, Kurt Moeller, to see if he is available this spring to come to a board meeting to explain the process and answer questions. The town has 3 cd’s that will be coming to maturity in the upcoming months. The board asked our treasurer how much we made in interest on these. It was decided that because these are small amounts, and receive only a small amount of interest, we would not be reenrolling them. They will instead be put into our designated savings accounts. A motion was moved by Hank to move the money from cd ***1 into the equipment fund, move the money from cd ***3 into the building fund, and to divide the money from cd ***4 equally into those funds when they reach maturity. Seconded by Ned. Motion approved. The clerk will contact the bank with our intentions. A motion was moved by Ned to pay bills. Seconded by Hank. Invoices and checks were signed by the board. The next meeting will be held on February 2, 2025 at 6:30 pm. A motion was moved by Ned to adjourn. Seconded by Hank. Meeting adjourned.
