COMMENTS FROM AUDIENCE: none

DISCUSSION ITEMS:

1.         M&M Stone Quarry Appeal Update:

Solicitor Mark Weand reported that Judge Labuskes entered a favorable Opinion on January 31, 2008.  Mark Weand feels the Opinion was written such that it may forestall any further appeals.  He also feels that a final determination of appeals may take one (1) year.  The federal litigation settlement conference call has been scheduled for Tuesday, February 12^th.  Regarding the M&M Stone Quarry suit in Federal Court, preliminary contact with all parties to determine if the matter might settle is standard procedure.  Mark Weand feels there is no room for adjustment and we are not offering any adjustment now or at any time in the future.  Mark Weand reported the insurance company attorney, Andy Bellwoar, has mailed a Rule 11 Response Letter, which states M&M Stone Quarry can be held responsible for filing a frivolous law suit.
