Old Business

It was reported that the grates have been replaced by Rod Eutsler.

Mayor Ruen explained that Seuver Stone Quarry is very busy and therefore, will probably not get to our project until Spring.

Mayor Ruen stated that students from the Spencerville FFA are trying to get together to find a time to paint the playground equipment.

Council members reported that the Jutte residence and Eutsler residence have been cleared of the junk vehicles. Mr. Koenig is currently trying to find a place to bury the concrete pieces.

New Business

It was brought to the mayor’s attention that the Salem Presbyterian Church wants someone to be designated to unlock the church in case of weather-related emergencies. Mayor Ruen will further investigate this request.

Jenny Pugh reported that the village certificate of deposit was automatically renewed on October 24, 2003. Because it renewed into another 14-month term (maturity date will be 12/24/04), the funds must be declared inactive. Paul Price made a motion to do so, Gloria Leiter seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Jenny Pugh stated that in order to cover receipts for the end of the year, $250.00 needs to be moved from the Lands and Buildings Capital Outlay fund into the Boards and Commissions fund. Gloria Leiter made a motion to do so, Robert Louth seconded the motion. Motion carried.

It was brought to council’s attention that Ace Hardware is looking for a yellow palate that was previously used by the village.

Paul Price moved to close the meeting. Jeff Davis seconded the motion. Meeting adjourned.
