With regards to the hole at Cory Lenkers;  SS Witmer made the patch with amesite and is have been repaired. With regards to the canopy modification, Andy had been in contact with Ren Wolfe and it is tabled.  Manhole covers at Spade’s has been addressed and it was decided that because of the location of the manholes and the depth that they need to be at so the plow trucks do not hit them in the winter that they are were they need to be and nothing more will be done with them at this time.  Dean received the information from CBDG for the environmental review, he is going to forward it onto Tony or Joe for their review and we will await their decision as to whether or not the money needs to be paid back.
