Reports

The school has lost a few teachers and is looking for a few aides. Erik Warner has resigned from the school board which leaves no representative from Anderson. The School Board is down to six members and there should be nine. Elections will be held in November. Between 30 and 50 kids will attend school this year.
Department Reports
Public Works: Scott Thompson reported on the following; all the street lights have been fixed. The city sewer has been blocked off by the DMV door. The road going behind the building is no longer useable.
Park: Someone vandalized the Riverside Park. They kicked in the door to the storage room which will cost $500.00 to replace. The city is willing to put up a reward and the Lions Club said they would match it.
Fire Department: There are fires everywhere. The city had 15 volunteers work the Windy Creek fire. As of today there are 591 State firefighters on the fire. Scott suggested that Dave Talerico write a letter to the Attorney General on why Anderson’s trucks were not leased from the State.
Lagoon: The south side has been drained and the north side will be done next week. The old lagoon will be getting pumped.
