Board Member Comments:  Trustee Cindy Baumgartner and Sandra Beach both thanked the board for the opportunity to attend the CML conference.  They both agreed that it was a valuable learning experience, and suggested that if anyone else on the board had the opportunity to attend next year, that they would highly recommend it.  There was a diverse choice of breakout sessions to attend, that were very informative. 

                                          Mayor Kipp advised the board that there will be quotes hopefully in next month’s meeting packet to install a street pan at Gandy to help with drainage in that area.  In addition, the town is looking at installing a culvert on North Ash to divert water to the retention out lots that are present at the Lost Creek Commons development to alleviate drainage issues on the North side.
