With no other comments being heard the hearing closed at 6:56 pm.
The Public Hearing on the 2014 Preliminary Budget was called to order at 7:00 pm and the notice calling for the hearing was read.

Evelyn Irwin expressed concerns with the M-ARK Project amount, cemetery costs, needing a new loader and the water/sewer operator’s salaries. It was explained the M-ARK line was a typo error, cemetery costs are staying within budget, the Hwy.

Karen Munro and Glenn Faulkner of MTC Cable were present to discuss the MTC Franchise Renewal process and requirements. A public hearing will be required.
