Pulaski meter:
Harold has not had an opportunity to pull the meter. He has had difficulty in contacting Jim
Pulaski. If the meter is found to be
working properly than the balance of the water bill needs to be paid. The Mayor will craft a letter stating the
above.
The DPW crew has been very busy with the water project. It is going well and they should be buttoning
things up for the winter and then will finish up work in the Spring.
COUNSEL:
Counsel is working on the “art district” wording. Counsel will also contact DOT and ESF
regarding the pathway along route 80.
Codes:
No report

The Mayor stated that the Board really appreciated that we
had 2 applicants for fire commissioner.
Sonny had already served 5 years on the board and was elected
chairman. The Mayor saw no reason to
change something that was running smoothly.

Vernay it was unanimous to accept the Mayor’s appointment of Sonny Battle.
