Bill
Klauk, residing at 6440 Sterrettania Road, thanked

on all streets that had been milled and that the base coat must be installed on
all streets before additional paving work on the streets can be done. Mr. Klauk also
mentioned that tree branches are obscuring visibility of the stop sign on
Colonial Drive at Feidler Drive, that a large pine
tree on property at the intersection of Caughey Road
