     Brian Kuzmeskus brought to the board a complaint about the dirt roads. He has experienced flat tires and now needs a front end alignment.

     General Discussion...
     The Swimming Pool Association wanted the town to be aware of a few things regarding the area. Volunteers are scarce for current operation. The cost of running the area is also increasing. They are financially alright for now but they wanted the town to have a heads up for the future. Many of the volunteers are older and with no new blood coming in, there is concern for the future. The town will keep an eye on the situation and help out where it can. This includes assisting with an updated emergency plan.
