Mayor Boschee asked the library staff if they thought they would have room for the theater sign in the museum. This started some discussion regarding the possibility of putting the library and museum into the old theater building. Council members brought up the concern about possible asbestos and the amount of work it would take to make that possible due to the rough shape the theatre is in.

Kim Miller will be taking over as head maintenance and Rodney has talked to Stan Zimmer to help out part-time.

Schlechter presented another bid from Grote Roofing for the repairs that need to be done on the hospital roof. Sandra is waiting to hear from attorney Vaughn Beck as she has been corresponding with him about the situation. Council will not make a decision until Sandra hears back from Vaughn. Sandra will let the council know at our April 7th meeting.
Sandra informed the council that carpet and tile has been ordered. Paint samples will be picked out and Sandy has contacted MyRon Zimmer as he will be helping with the painting. Work will begin in the Physical Therapy Office the first week in April.

Sandy did tell the council that Wayne Washenberger has been talking with his patients in Roscoe about the possibility of not doing outreach services there any longer and they are willing to come to Bowdle to see him. After some discussion Council decided that we should back out of our offer due to some known problems with the building and hospital could end up spending quite a bit more than the $15,000.
Discussion regarding Dr. Batoon’s resignation and last day of work being June 26, 2014. Sandy will be setting up some interviews soon for his replacement.
