Slaby reported that the Fire AdHoc meeting was mostly about the Town of Harmony looking to join Phillips Fire Department. He also attended the Ambulance meeting and shared that they had 400 calls this year when they normally have that many in a year. Slaby also commented that Phillips continues to help out the Prentice crew for a charge, as they are understaffed.

Dean Manecke mentioned that North Fork Road hasn’t been maintained and shoulders brought in as discussed last year.

There was also discussion about the town marking trees so Dean can cut them down to get the project going and closer to getting a grant.
