  1. NEW BUSINESS
    1. Fire Bill for Bombard: Invoice #22-897

    Jackson mentioned that Mr. Bombard is on oxygen and didn’t feel comfortable coming in. It was his fire that got out of control. Both he and his wife are in poor health. I really don’t think that we are going to get $22,545.00 from him. He can do a payment plan but I think we should reduce the amount.

     

    Usakowski: He needs to appeal in writing of person.

     

    Deland: Did anyone show up to appeal?

     

    Usakowski: We should leave it alone and have him make payment arrangements.

    Jackson: I will see if he can write a letter or make payment plans.

     

    1. Resolution 2023-13, Solar Wind/Master Plan
