Reports and Presentations:

Highway Superintendent Telaak reported on the following:

  Residents need to call Waste Management to arrange pickup of Christmas
  trees and large trash items like couches and mattresses. It has been a busy
  winter for plowing, with the Town using almost 1,000 tons of salt.
  Regarding the drainage issue on Hillcroft Drive, explained that the situation
  must meet criteria for intervention if it affects multiple homeowners and it
  affects the highway. He reported that the highway department had lifted a
  drainage grate by about 8 inches to prevent it from becoming plugged
  during the upcoming thaw. He noted that the ditch in question was cleaned
  in 2004, and while a gravel dam built at the top of Greenbriar Terrace helps
  contain debris, the creek has eroded over the years. He explained that
  accessing the area is challenging due to fences and the narrow configuration
