Resolution for creation of TIF #4: Cina’s and Wild’s land was taken out of TID #4 per their request.  All the owners of land in TID #4 were contacted.  Baker’s land across from the church was added.  The Viola house from TID #1 was taken off of TID #4 since it is already fully developed.  New maps presented today should go in TID #4 project plans.  We now have half the earning potential in this TID, from one month ago, because of opposition.

Purchase of Backhoe Equipment:  Gabrysiak stated that the Village could use a backhoe.  However, it was never budgeted for.  An annual auction in Wausau the end of October, the Village might be able to get equipment half price.  The Village did budget for and could use a newer dump truck for snow removal.  Phillips did not want to see a backhoe purchased.  Phillips would be for a newer dump truck if Liska was to decide what to get.
