Correspondence:  We received a statement from Cooper with our pre-buy balance.  There were a couple sanitary permits and we received the Pittsville EMS & Fire Contracts.

Road and Maintenance Concerns:  Oak Road is done.  Kolo hauled in the road base and Walnut Lane, Redwood, and Popular are done.  Scott’s still needs to do the crack sealing.  Next year, when we spray Poplar Road for dust we will also need to spray Apple Road too.  A resident would like a bus stop sign on the corner of Grant and Maplewood.  The ditching is done on Jackson Road.   

Dog Issues:  Paul received another call on the dogs.  There is really nothing that we can do about it because we don’t have any noise ordinances at this time.  The dog owner said that he is doing his best to keep the dogs quiet.

Curbside pick up:  Still no update from Harter’s.  They will let me know as soon as they have something.
