Hoping to start the project for broad band soon on getting these processes moving forward. They have to narrow down specific locations county wide. Using rescue act grant money for the project so only have a certain time frame to use the money. Also have to have neighboring towns who are interested as well. The more that is interested the better chance of the areas to receive broad band.

Public Comments: 

Rick Mansfield- We have an agreement of shared services with the Village of Cleveland. Yes, we do. 

 

Rick Roberts- Is the Town advertising for the highway positions? Also, not sure how helpful the radar signs will be in stopping the speeding, may need law enforcement presence more. We should leave the bridge alone. The Town Board is doing a considerably good job given everything that has been brought forth to them and having a new Town Board this year. 

 

Darrin Smith- Grinder pumps, why order 2 more El pumps when we have 4 Barnes pumps still. The Barnes pumps are all gone, and that is why we needed to order more.
