    • Donna from Tribal Police spoke about a press release on Facebook about some issues at Jonesville. No updates on the theft from the RV that crashed in Sutton recently from AST. These are professionals in the area that know what they are doing and have equipment. They would like to get the drugs out of the area which may help reduce crime in general. Ron spoke about how the Sutton Bible Church will be closing down the Food Pantry so they are not feeding into the issue. Also, Donna explained a little about the CERT training that will be available to us and will get Kalee in touch with the person who handles the program.
    • Road Service Area (RSA 31): Dave was not present, but the work being done to the borough roads is fantastic.

    • Website update: Kalee spoke with Stephen and he is willing to pass the website on to someone else who can manage it

• New Business: 

• • We drafted a building rental application form so we can update our current system and make it more streamlined. There was an in room discussion with Nova and the River Rafting crew about some issues and misunderstandings in the past, how to move forward with building rentals and improve.
