At the beginning of the May 14th meeting of the Montrose School Board, a moment of silence was held in memory of long-time Mountain View School Board member Jim Zick. The moment of silence was requested by Montrose board member Chris Caterson.

The annual Ray Kroc achievement award was presented each year to a student in the junior high school. Mr. Wilcox was present that evening to present the award to Joni Host. He stood and read a statement about the award, which he presented on behalf of McDonald's. The award was given in honor of McDonald's founder Ray Kroc, who began the chain restaurant and highly valued persistence. The award was annually given, Mr. Wilcox said, to a student who made a real contribution to not only the school but also the community. It included a medallion, a certificate, a scholastic scholarship in the amount of $250, a share of McDonald's stock, and a plaque. Those present gave a standing ovation, and Miss Host walked around the table shaking the hands of the board members.

Don Shibley was absent from the May New Milford Township meeting, which otherwise proceeded as normal. At the past meeting there had been questions regarding the concrete floor. That was presumed on prevailing wages, and it was not necessary to pay prevailing wages if it was under $25,000 and if the township was not doing 50% of the work itself. All bids had   then been rejected, and the work rebid. D&H Construction set out a bid for $9,100, and a bid at $11,820 came in from RGL of Binghamton. By law, Mr. Hunter stated that the supervisors had to take the low bid. D&H was then accepted.

The supervisors had decided to try and trade their old roller in to get a new one. The bid was put out for a 2008 or newer bid with a full cab.
