The status is the overflow line from the pond is plugged and there was no recommendation made that this plug should be removed until such time as downstream improvements can be made to take care of the water. D. Councilman Mottaz made the following suggestions: In regard to the first Town Meeting, publish or make available to the public a report on items discussed and attendance number. As part of the announcement for September meeting this informaton could be listed. Add section for "Old Business" on Council agendas to serve as a reminder of issues that have not been acted upon. E. Councilman Williams explained he has consulted with Jim McNamara on a joint purchase of septic tank, rings and lids, as a result of our ordinance change, and found that the cost of rings are $25 ea. and lids are $12-15 ea. They came to the consensus that the cost savings is not worth the effort for a joint purchase, but would wait and see if there will be such requests from our residents. At the last workshop Councilman Williams volunteered to work up a possible scenario for street assessment formulas which were handed out at the meeting and to be discussed at a future date. 8.
