days before voting on approval.
We will hold a special town meeting on July 9 or 10, 2008 to approve
village powers, with meetings also to be scheduled for a hearing on
subdivision ordinances, and approval of same, perhaps meeting in
succession if that is possible. We also will have to readopt the
planning commission. Tim Scott will conference with Donna Preece the
week of June 16 to set this up so it can be properly noticed.
Regarding the complaints board members have had on the property in
Boardman with all the vehicles and other items, it was decided to have
Warren speak with the property owners as a first step. There also was
discussion on properties, particularly the ones in foreclosure and
what to do with lawns neglected, etc. One audience suggestion was to
call the realtor involved. This will be discussed further.

proposal to sand, sink nails, and finish the hall floor and also the
