The next line of business was a lengthy discussion was a question/answer forum between residents in attendance and Mr. Ryan Trout a guest in attendance in reference to the May 14th Election. Resident Brian Laurich had great concerns about the campaigning that led up to the Election. The Council also spoke and answered all questions directed to them.
Commissioner Brakebill reported there was no April Planning and Zoning meeting held and he is still waiting on the updates for the WRE/MGE maps. He feels there may be some delays in the process with the change in Council.

FY12 is approved for $32,000 for the Elementary School project. Burgess Smith will contact town attorney Clapp in reference to the Joint Users Agreement. FY13 is due in the coming months. We can apply for CPP grant money but not POS due to the 25% portion the town would have to pay. There is no progress on the fishing pier. Commissioner Rittelmeyer would like to install solid boarding across the access to it and Mary informed him the maintenance guys have already done that. Commissioner Rensberger indicated he would have something done in the next three weeks before his term ends.
Commissioner Rittelmeyer inquired on the sludge hauling RFP and Mary informed him it is out for bid. She also informed him she is working on an RFP for Plant Operator and it will soon be advertised. It was suggested having Marc Angleberger stay on as Plant Operator through July. Mary will contact him.
