Please take time to read this week’s Friday Memo- -a general recap of the week and upcoming news.  As always, should you like more information, I ask that you call the office, e-mail or stop in.  Thanks for your continued support. 

    1. Private Road Maintenance & Snow Plowing has been discussed at the August Public Works Committee and Board Meeting.    You also reviewed and discussed Attorney Koch’s legal opinion recommending contracts with property owners for this service.  Comments were made that advance notice will be given to all Private Road property owners receiving plowing and maintenance services so they can prepare for the 26/27 season.  Contracts with all associations desiring to continue the municipal services is the goal.  No immediate action was taken and tabled to the discretion of the Town Chair.   
    2. The September Park Committee has been rescheduled to Monday, 9/8 at 5pm due to scheduling conflicts. 
    3. Wednesday’s DOT Public Information Meeting on the STH 50 project was very well attended.  Construction is planned to begin the day after Labor Day or 9/2 and be completed by Thanksgiving or late November.
