age group and some handicapped accessible equipment with estimated cost for these items, the
board said they appreciated her help and would review the information they were given.
             Neil Costello requested that an unused alley way that runs between his property and
neighbors be vacated, he explained that some delivery companies think it is a road and will
drive down it ending up at his driveway thinking that it’s all part of the road. Neil said he has
already spoken to his neighbors who are also in the area of the ally and said they don’t have a
problem with closing the alley, he did say there is a water line from City of Clinton that runs to
the high school that goes thru the alley but as long as the city will have access to the line they
are willing to provide a letter stating they won’t object to vacating the alley, the board agreed to
take the request under advisement, Henry explained to Neil exactly what he will need to do to
get the alley vacated and what paperwork he will need to present to the board.
