• Tim Pitman will be the watch dog over the Bel-Rae. He will stop by,every day just to <br /> check things out. Tim has disconnected the power from the Bel-Rae sign on Highway 10 <br /> and will be having the locks changed. Our voice mail system is now working and we <br /> have received several calls inquiring about our future plans with the Building. I will be <br /> responding to all calls and keeping a list of all the calls received. <br /> • The owner of Pleasant Wood Apts. has decided not to pursue renovation of the Apts and <br /> instead is interested in selling. I will be meeting with the property manager and <br /> discussing this opportunity with the EDC at their July 25th meeting. Expect to hear more <br /> about this issue at the August work session. <br /> • As many of you may know the Midland-Videen property is now on the market. This has <br /> been confusing for many residents since they think we are selling the Bel-Rae property. I <br /> have informed the Community Development Dept. that if anyone inquires regarding the <br /> property that we make sure they are aware of the wetland issues. <br /> Cathy <br /> • <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> PARKS <br /> • Preparations for Festival are underway.
