• Spotlight of Town Ordinances – There will not be a spotlight this month because we will be mailing the Consumer Confidence Report.

 

1. Water tower and Filter Plant – Mark’s time has been spent with the panel at the water tower which is bad and he is having to operate manually until the part arrives.
2. Sidewalk Replacement – the sidewalk on the south side of Pearl Street has been done; now waiting on the concrete to finish the other side by Nebraska Street. Rebecca also asked about the ADA ramps; Mark will call INDOT to see if we do indeed have to put them in at this time.
3. 2019 Community Crossing Grant – The next round will open up in August; Eric Wathen is updating our Asset Management Plan.
4. Mowing – Rebecca asked if Mark has had to take care of mowing any other properties in town. There is a house on Ladoga Road where the grass is pretty high. Beth will prepare a notice for John to deliver.

 

• NEW ITEMS:

 

1. Meeting with Eric Wathen – Mark will visit plant at Western Boone and Bainbridge with Eric sometime this month.
2. INDOT Open Houses – Rebecca will attend a “transportation talks” meeting in Crawfordsville on June 13^th from 5-7 pm.
3. Reception – Rebecca thought it would be nice to hold a reception for the fire fighters and emts just so the community could meet them; they could possibly use this opportunity to recruit new members. After much discussion the matter was tabled until next month.
