J. Slack asked about the 10 hr. work days per week.  He said it saves the town money and gives no benefit to me or the workers.  If it snowed every Friday then they would look at it again.  If the highway dept. loses money or if it costs the town money I would look at it more but at this time we get more done on working the roads and other things done in the department.

Mr. Whittaker felt it was important that the Town Board get al on with the Highway Superintendent.

Motion by Ellis, Seconded by Benjamin, Carried

We do hereby adjourn this meeting.

Vote: 3 ayes 1 absent 1 vacant
