supposed to have started the work.
Incidents - None
Foundation Fund - The money from the Jumer Raffle will be deposited into this
account.
Old Business: Triumph Bank Update - The consultant has started work. Unfortunately the
entire TIF process needs to be reviewed, so this will not be quick. An entirely
new TIF district is a consideration as it probably would not take any more time.

year ( $17,000 for workman's comp and $6,000 for building and contents) She
is waiting on two more bids. Van suggested asking the City to cover us under
their self insurance and we would pay the deductible for any Library claims.
Laura will talk to the Mayor.

library during filming.

motion to approve the policy as submitted, Gerry seconded; motion carried.
