The Board received a report from JEO on the progress of the funding search for the new Wastewater Treatment Facility. This is an ongoing process by JEO.  Sailors wanted to know if people can get sand from the park?  Hayes said yes and to keep track of equipment used and hours for in-kind donation to the park. Sailors had questions about the park use of the Town tractor and the bids let for the park work.  Tallmon is in charge of the repairs to Riverside Park and was absent from the meeting.  Sailors is requesting a report on the Park at the next Town Board meeting.  Hayes said that FEMA has a form for in-kind work that would need to be filled out.  The forms are available  from Tallmon.
Hayes reported that he has closed the gates to the town dump because of to much trash being left.  The dump is meant for wood and brush.  Hansen asked if we could put up a schedule of when the gates would be open.  Hayes said that unless the site was monitored we would still get trash.
