Many users are reporting that poll gadgets are failing to render, displaying a 'Not Found' message. We're investigating the issue and will post a reply as soon as we have more information to share.

Thanks for your patience.

Things you can do from here:


Bottom line: I'll wait until it is fixed and then enable it. The poll will be open for at least a week to ensure appropriate response time.

Live reporting - Closing

K. TOWN ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
reinforce statement on the use of the new trash bins only on and after 7/1/10
the bins were purchased with the fees in the solid waste account and not from general operations

Notice last week was an affront per the EPA notifications 
it was caught before the water went out into the system
When there is a real problem, the folks may not pay attention as much due to these 'extra' notices
The DPW does a great job on the water, it is a 24x7 operation

Library director (Felicia Oti) did a report it is on the web site
looking at the collaboration

L. OLD BUSINESS

M. NEW BUSINESS
Pfeffer - can we have the sewer by law up for review
Nutting - we really need a policy discussion, have given out in limited quantities before
may see more when the economy picks up, should look at what the council adopted 10 years ago
need to figure out how to handle the issues, it does go to the whole growth issue
you don't want to be chasing new schools

N. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Pfeffer - 4th of July committee looking for money
thanks to the firemen for attending and presenting their opinions
thanks to the DPW for the landscaping work at the fire stations, it looks really good.

Jones - realizing that there are vacancies, there is an opportunity to get involved


P. ADJOURN
motion to adjourn, passed 7-0
