as read.
Betty Adkins reported that Mrs. Parker, who lives in Vasseur's
Addition has made numerous complaints about dogs running loose on her
property. She has complained to the dog catcher about the problem but
he advised he could not pick them up unless they were licensed so he
could idenitify them and be able to determine if they were trespassing
on others property.
David Reemts appeared before the Board to request that his property
be rezoned from A-2 Agricultural to Commercial. His permit for a stor-
age bulding was turned down by the County Planning Commission. The Board
advised him that he is on the agenda of the Otsego Planning Commission
meeting on January 11, 1979 and the Board will abide by the recommendation
of the Otsego Planning Commission concerning rezoning his property.
Virginia Bistodeau moved that a treasurer's report be given every
month and be included in the minutes of the meeting held on the first
Monday of each month. Seconded by William Schulz, passed unanimously.
As the County Assessor has advised the Board that there will be a
substantial increase in the valuation of farm land in 1979, the Board
discussed the probability of having a special meeting so that farmers
can get an explanation df the valuation increase by having the Co. Asses-
sor or his deputy present at the meeting. Motion made by Virginia Bis-
todeau to have an informational meeting on farm land valuations in con-
junction with the second town board meeting in the month of February
and to postpone the meeting one day to Feb. 20 as the third Monday is
a legal holiday.
Seconded by Lloyd Beaudry, passed unanimously.
