The School Board arrived at 9:20 P. M. and the meeting continued.
Mr. Sandberg ouestioned the board as to the workings of the community,
school pro"ram. The school has nothing to do with the actual school day,
but is aimed at reaching the people in the community who may be interested
in this tyoe of program and enabling them to use school facilities and
also village facilities.
The funding of the summer recreation urogram was the next item on the
agenda. In the school election in 1948 the people voted to participate
in the summer recreation urogram with one half of the cost being assumed
by the village, and the other half by the school district. This had to
be voted upon in order to make it legal. The funding was strictly for
the salaries of the supervisors. At this time the merchants contributed
for equipment, uniforms, etc.
In 1970-1971 the school board came to the council and informed them they
were going to expand their program and asked the council to participate
as they had in the past. The council agreed to act in this manner.
Motion was made by Walt Markling to participate equally in both the
winter and summer programs with the school board in regard to the salaries
of the supervisors. Second by Dick Martie. Carried -- all in favor.
Motion to adjourn at 10:30 P. M. by Walt Markling, second by Jeff Rowan.
So ordered.
