REPORTS OF DEPARTMENT HEADS: received Highway Dept., Town Clerk and Building Inspector.
Councilman Newman - I have a question about the building inspector report; I noticed that stop work order up on Carpenter
Road is off the report. Is everything taken care of with that? Dan Whitehead said, “No, I haven't heard from the Town
Attorney.” I was at a meeting with her several weeks ago, and I discussed my opinion that the buildings need to be removed.
Supervisor Howard said we probably should not be discussing this since it’s in litigation, you should contact the Town
Attorney if you have any questions.
