Old Business:
Peggy Kuser went through the budget worksheet with the Board.  Sailors questioned the amount for the clerk’s office.  He was not informed that this amount was included in the budget.  Sailors made a motion that the Board speak as one body on matters of the budget.  There was no second.  Motion died for lack of a second.  Peggy Kuser then reviewed the final budget.  Tallmon made a motion that the budget be approved as printed, Fish seconded.  Hayes yes, Sailors no, Fish yes, Hansen yes, Tallmon yes.  Motion carried.
Hansen made a motion, and  Fish seconded that the additional 1% to the restricted funds authority be approved.  All yes votes.  Motion carried.
John Lauber questioned if the $200,000.00 from Keno can be used by the Board or if only the interest can be used.  Is there a resolution about this matter?
Projects, Buildings and Equipment:
Chairman Hayes reported on the Brownville Post Office status.  He had a print-out about what the citizens of Brownville can do to help keep the Post Office open.  Additional print-outs are available from the clerk.  There will be a meeting on Oct. 19, from 7 to 9 pm at the Town Hall.
Fish gave a report on the insurance adjusters findings on repairs to the Town Hall bathrooms, mold remediation and the roof and guttering.  The Village has insurance to cover the cost of the mold removal.  Paul Davis Restoration of Omaha can do the work.  Fish moved that we contact Paul Davis Restoration and tell them to proceed with the work of removing the mold in the Town Hall bathrooms.  Tallmon seconded.  All yes votes.  Motion carried.
Fish reported on the roofing repairs.  There were 3 bids to redo the roof  2  of which included the guttering cost.  Fish moved and Hansen seconded that we accept Zac Vice’s bid for roofing and guttering the Town Hall.  Zac said it would be mid October when he would start and, weather permitting, it would take 10 days to complete.  Fish then reported that street work has begun.
Hansen moved that Martin Hayes, Chairman of the Board, sign the Disaster Declaration Resolution  9-12-11, Sailors seconded.  All yes votes.  Motion carried.
Discussion began on the placement of the Village Clerk’s office.  Tallmon suggested leaving it at the Antiquarium.  Sailors reported on a survey he did of the Village residents as to their preference for placement of the clerk’s office.  The majority were in favor of the Town Hall.  Fish was reluctant to leave it at the Antiquarium.  John Lauber wanted to know if a cost analysis was made for each proposed site.  Justin Wheeldon said this should be done before considering moving the clerk’s office.  Hayes moved that the relocation of the clerk’s office be tabled for now.  Tallmon seconded.  All yes votes.  Motion carried.
The Board studied a Zoning and Building permit for Jay Tallmon.  Fish moved and Hayes seconded that the permit be issued.  All yes votes.  Motion carried.
New Business:
