The meeting began with recognitions first of Joe Seibles, who retires after 26 years of service in education.

Both Porter and councilman Russ Brown attended the meeting, and agree that they would like to move forward to hear more of how the water authority could benefit the Town of Ridgeway.
Some other issues discussed were securing funds to provide additional trash cans for the town, as well as a bike rack for travelers who visit the town and wish to stop and dine or shop.
