Motion by Thornton, 2nd by Dutton to approve the May’s treasurer's report. Thornton had a follow up question from last month on Laura Burns’ hours and pay.

when the position was created years ago.

Thornton asked if Burns was told on “as needed” and the
mayor said yes. Thornton also asked why Tammy Shaffer’s pay changes every week, is she getting overtime? The mayor said he didn’t know but he would check into it. Thornton said we are over budget

The West Fork Fire Department spent nearly a full Saturday in April burning off some of the property at no charge to the city.
