Mr. Priest explained what he had seen during post and preconstruction of the property to the south. Dominion Group did the project and the head of it has been on vacation and couldn't be reached. President Worthen said he had tried several times to use the phone numbers Mrs. Atwood had given him but could not reach anyone so he looked up numbers in the phone book and found different numbers and was able to reach them. He told Mrs. Atwood we needed pre construction topography maps to see what has changed and they would be hard to find. Mrs. Atwood told the council she was fed up with the street department not doing anything. She said the water runoff is not all rain water because that just could not happen. She wants an update every week about what is happening. Council Fresident Worthen told her that Bruce Boltman said we needed to know the cause before it can be fixed and stay fixed. Councilman Shields asked Mrs. Atwaad if the Town was responsible if we can't find information that cannot be found. Mrs. Atwood said then you just have to find a solution. Councilman Shields answered the worst thing we could do is doing the wrong thing without the correct information. Council President Worthen told Mrs. Atwood the Town has the post contraction maps here but not the pre construction maps and went on to say that Cloverleaf Properties had the pre construction maps at one time. He told Mrs. Atwood he would keep working on this and keep her informed. Council President Worthen presented the Health Insurance renewal to the council.
