Secretary/Treasurer Caponetto said he will have cash prizes in envelopes. Hopefully everyone brings a gift. Everyone will get a dinner ticket so that they can participate in a gift exchange. We will also be selling 50/50 tickets.
Secretary/Treasurer Caponetto reminded the Board that he had written letters to the Mohave County Supervisors regarding the $14.75 mattress charge at the county dump. Only reply he got was from Supervisor Ron Gould’s secretary. Secretary/Treasurer Caponetto was informed that only Supervisors can make orders to charge for anything at the dump. So, no more charge to dump mattresses.
President Adams said that the building in Section 30 has been demolished. President Adams couldn’t believe that Billie in the Building Department of the City did not know about it, let alone that the building had no permits or engineering inspections.
Director Chester wanted to discuss the school board’s lack of transparency and coverup on what they are paying employees. He said they are doing thing unethical, no transparency. It also is illegal to post or sway people on how to vote on school grounds or campus. Discussion on what the school board has done and Director Chester discussed on what he knows is going on now.
Director Lopez-Rajaniemi informed the Board that the Academy of Building Industries high school received an “A” rating. She felt we should do something for the school and students like a pizza party.
