§ Received a report from Steven Waldvogel, CRA stating that construction on the pump station is substantially complete pending final ECWA approval.

A conceptual plan for landscaping and fencing was developed and delivered to residents for review. Upon general acceptance of the residents and approval by the Town Board a quote will be solicited for the work. At this time there appears to be sufficient monies remaining to cover the cost of the additional work & materials.
