Treasurer Report: We had very little activity this month. We did

I have been receiving calls and letters from banks plus other
financial and loan establishments asking for tax bills, tax amounts
and accepted means of payment.
Our budget hearing is on November 12, so I am hoping to have bills
mailed out around the first week of December. That is if all goes
well.
This Thursday is our treasurers and clerks meeting at the court house.
If there are any changes, I’ll inform everyone at the next town board
