Project Updates – Wilkinson Lakes Development <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala provided project updates. <br /> <br />There is a potential BMP project outside of the development.

The cost of the project would be split three ways, between the City, <br />VLAMO and North Oaks Co. The City share would be covered by Surface Water <br />Management Fund. <br /> <br />Mr. Sullivan would like to see plans presented to the Board as more information <br />becomes available. <br /> <br /> <br />C.
