Kramer reported that the Town pick up had cost $1500.00 in repairs since November.  Sitar agreed that the truck was beginning to cost quite a bit for maintenance and the Town should think about replacing it.  It was noted that Don Gonnering had a used vehicle for sale that would work for the Town.  It was noted that the old pickup could be kept and used for occasional use down at the park.
