    Supervisor’s Report:  1) Received complaints on excess of cars in subdivisions and unregistered vehicles.  2) Its getting that time again, every three years, to trade in the lawn mowers.  Jim Bogi passed out quotes to the board members.  Looking to downsize mower deck from 72” to a 61”, making mowing more efficient, getting into tighter spots therefore saving time on trimming.  This would take place in next year’s budget.  Slucter moved and Piper seconded to follow the existing pattern of utilizing the mowers through the three year warranty period and approve the trade in and purchase of new mowers in the 2021 Budget year.  Carried 7-0.  3) Still waiting on quotes for the Mausoleum repairs.
