APPROVE MINUTES
Motion was made by Trustee Burkett, seconded by Deputy Mayor Ely and unanimously carried that the minutes from a regular board meeting held on September 21, 2004 as presented.
NORTH STREET WATER PROBLEM
Foreman Donald Norton gave a report on what took place at the meeting with the residents of North Street and the Engineer from the Douglas Drive Apartments he was asked to attend in Superintendent Kilburn’s absence. It appears that there is a pile of dirt left over from the construction of the apartments that could be diverting some water onto the homeowner’s property on North Street. They will eliminate the dirt pile, relandscape, put in another culvert and clean the original swale of all debris. They felt that this should take care of 90% of the problem. The Engineers did not feel that they are responsible for the damage to the garages as that type of damage happens very gradually over the course of several years and the fact that there are no gutters on the garage and water comes down and sits by the foundation every season.
