When he was offered the main- tenance position, the Board had stated his salary would be reviewed after a six month probationary period which was up in November. Rodne moved, Burian seconded, to give Rask a $.50 per hour salary increase. The motion carried unanimously. Proposals for repairs needed were tabled until the January meeting. The Board discussed the portable generator and trailer that they had decided in April to keep to be used wherever needed within the County, but which has been permanently mounted at the Dist.# 3 County Shop and the trailer traded by the County. Since this is still listed as District inventory, the business manager was instructed to draft a letter to the County Commission, to be signed by-the Board president, to see how they would like to handle this matter. Downing will be the Board's repre- sentative to Belfield's next meeting. The Board briefly discussed bus route contracts which will be up next spring. The consensus was to negoti- ate with current contractors rather than re-bid the routes. The business manager reported someone is interested in purchasing the bike rack at Prairie which is not being used there. It was decided to move it to Medora if needed there. The meeting was adjourned at 2:32 p.m. Darlene Mitchell, Business Manager Darren Baranko, President (January 5) Please support your local merchants
