<br />Barb Robertson with the sales tax advisory committee was present to present two projects

<br />$5,000. The next project was to add a historical marker to the Village of Cairo which will be
<br />located over near where the camel sits, the Village has requested $3500 and the sales tax
<br />advisory committee recommends giving the $3500. For this project the idea of someday paving a
<br />sidewalk over to the area of the marker and camel has been discussed as well as adding some
<br />landscaping over there as well. Robertson did mention to the board that as the council is only
<br />able to recommends smaller amounts of funds to project requests, she would recommend that the
<br />board makes the decision to give the fire department the excess $35,000 which they asked for;
<br />after some discussion the board agreed that this will be brought up at a later meeting date. J
<br />Johnson made a motion to approve these recommendations and Dibbern seconded the motion.

<br />New Hope School to put up a steel building for the purpose of a new school at 312 W Nile Street,
<br />some discussion took place on where the entrance of the school would be and if it would affect the
<br />use of the parking lot, the school entrance will be on the east side of the school building facing
<br />Said street, the understanding is that they will use a half loop type system as they do now for
<br />drop/off and pick/up from school, the parking lot may be used for teachers transportation but
