have a referendum so more people could vote, several electors said
they agreed, Jeff Bowe, Joel Woodruff, Kelly Sullivan, Don Hazelton,
Dave Decker, Joe Bernier, Jean Bernier, Jeanne Sedlacek, Walter Knorn,
Roman Swan, Kathy Swan, and Gary Jacobson.
Dennis Ferstenou said he feels the vote should be done at an Electoral
meeting because it needs to be done soon, it will take several weeks
to put out bids and look at them. Projects need to be done ASAP.
A referendum is too late; work would not be able to start until Deer
hunting time and into winter.
Scott Decker said the grant money work is getting done why the rush to
vote on a remodel.

was made to save building.

at the least $2,500.00
And putting on the Ballot for September 14 election would be no extra
cost. And we have until June of 2011 to get grant work done.
