Public Comment:
- J Seltzner commented on the newly delivered phone books in the town. The books are to be delivered to the front door of each residence and the delivery person is dropping the book to the ground near the mailbox. The books end up waterlogged and unusable or end up in the ditch for the lawn mower to cut it up in the summer. J Seltzner would like to see the delivery method changed. No action taken.
- D Baehr was present for the Martin Family Trust decision. He was unaware that the board would not hear the petition until the public hearing was held. He will return for the March 28th board meeting for the final decision.
