Reports:
Sheriff: Sergeant Baloun reported there have been four fatal accidents within six days, one on LaFox Road. He and his Sergeant make an effort to slow them down by targeting high accident areas, but when they are gone they speed up again. Only one was an intoxicated driver, and one bad roads. The others were young drivers, high speed, and recklessness. Kevin Williams reported on calls they got about a party at a stable that the Sheriff quashed because of the likelihood of a huge number of people and the possibility of drugs.

Guide to Parliamentary Procedure: Clerk Johansen stated he received a handout at his first Clerk’s training session that he should have handed out to the Board.

The Clerk also needs to restate the motion before the vote is taken. To amend, the Clerk needs to hear the Trustee move to amend by adding, striking, or substituting language, and the amendment needs to be voted on before the original motion.
