Mayor Sherwin presented the Invoices Over One Thousand Dollars.  Alderman Feldmann made a motion to approve; seconded by Alderman Delgado.  Alderman Padilla asked if the Fire Department is going to contribute to the replacement of the fire hydrants.  Mayor Sherwin said they will not be contributing because they do not own the system.  Mayor Sherwin suggested paying for half of this out of this year’s budget and the other half from next years budget.  Dale Roberts talked about the goose control at Centerpoint. This is coming out of the 2008 budget. We need to sign the contract now.  We have 3 applications done a year.   Dale feels that this has deterred them somewhat but not completely.  After a few grass cuttings he feels it does not work as well.   Dale also feels that the parking during the construction for Microsoft may keep the geese away.   There may be less activity due to the parking.  To make it more effective there needs to be more applications.     Mayor Sherwin called for a voice vote.  Six were in favor and Alderman Padilla voted nay. The motion carried.
