The Board met with Lyle Brehm, Tama County Engineer to get a road
projects report.

Sandra Fowler, Tama County Treasurer, was present to discuss the need
for an imaging machine for her office for titles and paperwork. This

free up a lot of storage space. A copy of the records could then be
stored off site for security reasons. It was suggested that the Board
set aside any excess of the Treasurer's budget into the Data Processing
fund to use to pay for the imaging machine when she purchases it.
