Chris Day has picked up the "no parking" signs and his workers will start installing them.  Letters went out to residents who needed to mow their grass and weeds.  Ads for bids on the Brock Unger Ditch project are ready to put in the paper.  Bid opening will be June 7th at 11:00 A.M. at the commissioners' office.  Mr. Day mentioned that the wage ordinance states minimum wage for a part time worker.  He would like to raise the rate.  He would like to have a casual laborer with no benefits for mowing and custodial work.  Rick Faber stated that the ordinance needs to be amended.
