Presentation from the Public
• Chairman Updike informed the board that he had received a call from Sandy Frei, 2332 Hidden Meadows Drive, regarding the Charter cable service.

Report on Town Roads Patrolman Farrell reported on the following:
• Cost to repair Wes’ truck including towing $3,824.39.
• Dennis’ truck needed repair of main hydraulic hose.
• Used the Case loader a great deal when trucks were laid up. Works great!
• Good supply of salt remains and all equipment is now back in shape.
• Discussed maintenance needed on sections of Town Hall Drive, Berlin Road, Ridge Road and Baxter Road. Consensus was to have a road tour with board members and highway patrolmen.
• Dennis suggested that a letter of thanks be written to Troy Statz and Statz Bros. Inc. to thank them for the help received during the last snowstorms.
• Next year patrolman Farrell feels that a third person needs to be found to help with snow removal. It was very difficult to keep up with the blowing snow. Finding an experienced person may be a challenge.
