FrontierVillage1Jamestown (CSi) The Frontier Village Association Board of Directors has voted to pay a contractor for roofing work, after subtracting an amount for additional materials the board never agreed to order.

Following an Executive Session, the Association’s board voted to pay $993 to Quality Roofing & More. The original contract bid was for $3,210 to re-roof Mary’s Place building in the village, and the board subtracted $2,217 for additional roofing materials that were ordered by contractor employees and charged to FVA.

FVA Secretary-Treasurer Tina Busche, said, “This was minus the materials ordered in our name and that was not approved by the board or the manager, and was deducted from the bid. We don’t have the materials in our possession and that is the contractor’s responsibility.”

Questioned about the closed session which was not adverised, FVA President Charley Tanata said it could have been an open meeting.

The board also approved a $9,800 bid from Northland Window & Door of Jamestown to complete the Mary’s Place roofing project.

In other business, the board also approved two new members Thursday, Brittany Reed and Jim Cofield.

Reed, is a second-year student at Valley City State University.

The FVA also approved officers for 2016. Tanata will continue as president, and Nellie Degen was elected vice president.

FVA Manager Nichole Mosolf said the Frontier Village’s annual Halloween Treat Night for children drew 827 children and 682 adults, up from 606 children and 594 adults in 2014.

The Haunted Village on Oct. 30-31, organized by the Wild West Players at Frontier Village, drew 171 people the first night and 189 on the second. There were only 45 people both days in 2014.

$1,800 was raised from the Haunted Village, and $100 was donated to Girl Scout Troop 30858, whose members helped with the event, and $900 was donated to the other volunteer group, Employee Promotion Committee of the State Hospital, some of which will go to various food shelves.

The canned food donations will be going to the food pantry, she said, and the remaining $800 will be applied to the 2016 event.

The Christmas Village event is being planned for Dec. 12.
