- Consider and Take Action re: Budget Adjustments.
There was discussion concerning the Highway Budget and the proposed roadwork along with other maintenance projects that are showing up following the winter. Dennis Farrell, Road Patrolman presented his record of budget to date with adjustments he will make for the remainder of the year.
