attorney regarding the encroachment. The Board stated that the letters are not meant to cause a hardship, but to ensure that the structures cannot be rebuilt. Phil Lowe made a motion to send the letters out to the encroachers.

Public Safety Building Update/Discussion

This item will be placed on the agenda for December.
VI. NEW BUSINESS
Acceptance of Douglas Mountain Generator
Tim Mayberry made the motion to accept the gift of the generator and approve the continued maintenance of it. It was seconded by Chris Parker. Motion carried with all in favor.
Transfer Station Issues
A list of issues was distributed to the Board. The list contained issues such as:
More signage required,
Speeding issues,
No running water to hose out pit,
The safety mechanism on the Single Stream (recycling container) door auto shut off is not working.
Ken Littlefield stated the Fire Department could not hose down the containers on a regular basis, but perhaps it could be done monthly. It was stated it would not be feasible to do during the winter months as water could freeze on the hydraulics and cause major issues.
Michele stated she will call to have the auto shut off on the Single Stream recycling container fixed.
The list of the issues needing to be addressed will be put on the next agenda in order to allow the Board a chance to review the items before the next meeting.

Michelle presented the Abatements and Supplementals for property tax bills as prepared by the Assessors Agent. Most of the Abatements and Supplementals off set each other. They were addressing the fact that the wrong owner was or was not billed.
