Mr. Jim Spiegelhoff made a motion to accept the minutes of January 9, 2003 with the correction of the following sentences: "The shrubs that separate the two lots make it difficult for the new lot to be seen and they will be removed. There will be only one exit and entrance on South Perkins Boulevard not on Jefferson Street due to the proximity of the entrance to the library. The correction will read as follows: "The large shrubs that provided a screen for the Uhen house will now hinder the visibility of this new parking lot. Due to the proximity of the driveway at the library parking lot on Jefferson Street, it may not be advisable to include another entrance to the new lot on the same street." Mr. Jim Peterson seconded the motion and with all in favor the motion carried.

None
