Minutes from the annual meeting held on 21 January 2002 approved by the members present without changes.

Treasurer’s report: A-savings-$10.00, D-savings-$3211.04, checking-$417.44, CD-$15,000 (matures on July 23). Members voted to approve the treasurer’s report.

Old Business:
--- It was decided that the layout of the site would be similar to the map displayed on the Society webpage, with the windmill close to the heart of the building area. The door on the little cabin will face north and the door on the barn facing south.
--- Minor changes to the web page map were suggested.
--- Notification of clear title should be forthcoming any day.
--- John Vraa presented bids from three concrete contractors: A&S, Carvieau, and Russ&Lawrence. All the bids were within a few hundred dollars and slightly different in details. A few members present suggested that the quality of work from the three contractors would be comparable.
--- The group voted for pouring two 6-bag concrete slabs no later than 21 June 2002: 12”x12” around the margin, 3” thick in the center, cut into quarters, ½ “ rebar on 24” centers with more around the margins, and add mesh if cost was less than $100 for material. Because of the short time frame and the similarity of the price estimates for the work, the members present decided to resolve the bid issue. Using written ballots, the members at the meeting voted in favor of awarding the job to Russ&Lawrence for $2200, with no additional charge for installing mesh.

New Business:
---John Vraa distributed a “Proposed Plan of Action for Sand Hill Settlement Historical Society in 2002” (attached). I think this was discussed for the remainder of the meeting.

Secretary had to take substitute librarian and her daughter home at 9:15. The meeting continued late into the night without a secretary.
