PUBLIC BUSINESS:  Carey and Comerford commented about the article in the Weekly Packet, asked if a new site evaluation has been asked for and if a meeting with the Strongs has been set.  Grindal updated them on the current status, and as soon as a date can be set for a meeting, they will be told.  The state is still the place to go for information and hopefully, some answers.

 

CEO REPORT:  Still checking the landfill site, TJW has mowed and the fields look good.  A temporary dock is being permitted at Billings Cove; the state considers anything that will come out of the water in 7 months or less to be temporary.  Lots of housekeeping and following up going on.
