            Installation of speed bumps & signs was scheduled for April 29^th.

            Schoolhouse items: Dawn Prelle appeared to request that the Community Center kitchen be inspected so that it could be certified as a “Commercial Kitchen”. Her catering company, Moma Prelle’s Catering, would bring it up to code at their expense. However, they would not have exclusive rights to the kitchen. It would still be included in the gym rental fee and the Prelle’s would have to schedule use around our rental schedule. Prelle’s would pay $30. for each time they use the kitchen. The Board approved Prelle’s proposal. They will be allowed to bring in extra equipment and will be able to lock supplies in the storage room. Clerk will get a pass key and kitchen key to Prelle’s.

            Janet Harder also appeared and provided information on TechnaBuild of Southeast Nebraska. Its goal “seeks to build youth interest and access to activities and education in the fields of Robotics, Engineering, Science, and Technology”. Harder requested use of the old Science Room in return for memberships the group would buy. The Board decided to table this subject until a later date.

            It was decided to have a meeting May 18^th, for volunteers and organizers of the Unadilla Day barbeque. It will be at 7:30 pm in the Library. Clerk will post it on the website and include it in the Unadilla News.

            Clerk reported she had sent a letter to Ron Stocking about the removal of his burned-out trailer and it had since been removed. The trailer on the Dan Anderson property has also been removed.

            Clerk also reported she had issued a building permit for Phil Wilnerd to build a house 1 mile north on town on 20^th Road.
