construction project noting they are 222 days to completion. The cold weather has set
them back about seven days due to not being able to pour concrete but they anticipate
working Saturdays to "catch up ".
5) Agenda Items — additional information and/or questions.
Mr. George noted the following changes to the Regular Meeting Agenda:
remove Consent Agenda Item `B" (tree giveaway) and Regular Agenda Item 8.13
(supplemental funding for the Police Dept.); and add Item 8.C: purchase of ARA water
meters. Mr. George had Mr. Poulalion further clarify Consent Item "E ", budget
amendments. Mr. Poulalion spoke regarding the Sanford Gasification payments:
normally 16% of the budgeted amount is "reserved" (approximately $240,000), noting
that last year 17.9% was reserved. If this amount is reserved, it would reduce the
bottom line number by $168,000 and would not violate any generally accepted
governmental accounting principles. It was the consensus of the Commission to reserve
16% as recommended.
6) End the meeting.
