7) IMPROVEMENTS ON ROADS AND WATER TANK: The Town needs to do the roads this year. (Chip and Seal.) We need a Grant to get this done. The Council thought we as a Town could do it without a Grant, but prices have gone up and we can't do the whole project alone. So we need to start applying for a CIB Grant.
We need another water tank and John Iverson has inquired whether or not we are going to get approved for one. The Council has agreed to wait on the Water Tank and just do the Roads for now.
We as a Council will talk more about it next month.
