Motion by Roger Brand to accept Treasurer’s Report, seconded by Tony Blumentritt, and passed unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS:
· Try to meet in February for the section corner committee for Winona County.
· Check on the Location Company to see if they are still in operation. They received a $2000 fine.
· Prevailing wage came in December. Heavy highway wages are through, but not commercial. Another survey will be coming out soon, just not sure when to rectify this.
· A lot of open bottles of Alcohol are left over from the summer meeting. We are going to hang onto it for a summer chapter meeting.
NEW BUSINESS:
· We are going to give $500 to the foundation. (Chris Munn motioned, and Doug Rude seconded).
· Trigstar- Peter is looking for a volunteer to help out in the presentation process. If no one volunteers he might take a year off from it.
· MN-Iowa border. The committee is looking at doing a display area for the initial survey point of the border between our two states. A kiosk is to be set up with information about the corner including a map. A 12" oak post with a copy of the original stake and directions to get to the original point (which falls in the shoulder of the road and would not be safe to place there) from the kiosk is being designed.
· We got the service fee waved by Wells Fargo. They were adding $8 per month but now we have had our account downgraded to get rid of that fee by accepting an online account.
The next meeting will be Thursday, March 18th at the Riverview Greens in Stewartville. Social hour will begin at 6:00 with dinner and meeting to follow at 7:00.
