Mr. Karth moved to authorize the expenditure of the $150.00 plus expenses for these plans. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously.

They had requested more lights at the end of the rink. Mr. Volk had installed some additional flood lights but they did not seem to be sufficient. Several other possibilities are being consdiered. Mr. Schneider said Chief Myhre had also been present at the Board meeting to discuss the break in at the warming house. There had been no damage except a fire extinguisher had been emptied.
