George Kornstad and Marvin Landreth.  She stated that specifications
and quotes should be submitted to the board by the December board
meeting before scheduling a meeting in January.

The clerk gave a summary of what Town Web Designs does.  The clerk
stated that the company was willing to give the town a 50% discount
due to the small size of Highland.  The set up fee will be $500 and a
monthly fee will be $25.00.  The domain name fee is $10.00 a year. 
Once the website is set up, the clerk will update information and the
$25 a month covers technical support and help with changing existing
pages.  Sherrie Craft expressed concerns with add on costs as well as
the ability of the clerk to do the updating without additional costs. 
She also questioned whether the town would be able to move the website
to another web hosting company.  The Town would have to set up another
website if that happens.

Janice explained the resolution specifically allows town board
supervision of the website with the clerk being the only authorized
person to actually update and maintain information on the site.

Janice Johnson made a motion to adopt the Resolution Authorizing a
Municipal Website.  Sherrie Craft seconded the motion.  Motion
Carried.

No further business.

The next Regular Town Board Meeting will be Monday, December 10, 2007,
7:00 p.m. at the Highland Town Hall.
