COMMUNITY CRÈCHE Location
No report from Board.

DPW

Interim Superintendent Hajczewski reported that he has begun work on Main Street sidewalk replacement.

He said all is well (”perfect”) with the cemetery/cemetery maintenance worker.

Alden Field

Again, due to the recent heavy rains and some flooding, the fields need clay, stone dust, mulch for the playground, and sand for the sandbox.

The DPW has cleaned the building and it is ready to go.

The culvert area has been washed away again also and has been closed to the public for safety issues. Mayor Flint said he would like to wait to try and get federal funding to replace the culvert with a bridge. However, it may be some time and it is in the interest of all to open the park to the public as soon as possible. It was therefore decided to have the DPW repair the culvert again so it is able to withstand vehicle and pedestrian traffic allowing use of the field again.
