contact instead of USI. George said when the town’s renewal comes around in September he will come in and go over everything with us to make sure we have what we need and to make any changes we may want.

Resident Frank Perrelle requested that a speed limit sign or something be done to the street in the area of his residence, he said the road is very narrow and difficult for two cars to pass without driving in someone’s yard and speed makes it more difficult, he is concerned about the daycare down the road from him and a possibility of an accident in that area. Curtis suggested that the electric speed sign might be useful to get people to slow down, Larry said he
would check to see if that would work.
Leonard Akers mentioned that the towns guys did a great job a couple of weeks ago when JOINK hit a main waterline on Jackson St. he said the residents in the area was very appreciative of there hard work.

they have caused the town. Curtis said for everything being marked they sure did hit a lot of lines, Larry said they was digging to deep and after the problem on Jackson St. the next day they hit a service line then a gas line on Parke St.
Leonard asked if the town had found anyone to install the new playground equipment yet, Larry said yes and hopes it can get started soon Larry also mentioned the town is going to refurbish the ground around the equipment that has been there for awhile and move the gaga pit over closer to the basketball court, he also mentioned that the basketball court might be a
possible location for another pickle ball court but is something that he will have to look into.
