C.  Trustee Natasha Owen advised the board that she signed off on a bill from the Pantagraph for publication of the help wanted ad to run this Friday - Sunday. The amount was $346.28 which was over the $200.00 approved by the Board for publication at the January 21, 2010 meeting. Trustee Natasha Owen was able to do so since the Municipal Code states a department chair can spend up to $500.00 without Board approval. 

D.  Trustee Natasha Owen advised the Board that Officer Tom Sanders has turned in his resignation from the Stanford Police Department effective February 8, 2010.  Officer Sanders would like to purchase his uniforms without the patches.

It was the consensus of the Board to have Treasurer Jassman give Trustee Natasha Owen the information on how much was spent on Sander’s uniforms.

E.  After waiting for Marty Vanags with the Economic Council to arrive, Trustee Alwes called home to see if there were any emails from him. One had been sent stating Marty Vanags was double booked for the evening and would not be attending tonight’s meeting.  

3. MOTION TO ADJOURN @ 7:32PM 

 There was no further business to come before the Board. Trustee Geurts moved, seconded by Trustee Natasha Owen to adjourn. Motion carried.
