It seems they will be discussing three options tonight <br /> and he will update the board at their next meeting. <br /> Town Manager's Report <br /> Mr. LeLacheur noted RCASA has rebranded now that they are no longer under a grant. They <br /> will also have a new name to be determined. The former Daniel's House property is in the <br /> hands of Town Counsel who has reached out to the new property owner and asked what his <br /> Intentions are. He is happy to report there were no capacity violations on New Years Eve. <br /> Jane Kinsella came up to talk a little bit about snow and how their plowing system works <br /> due to a recent complaint. She noted while there is a snow storm the streets are their main <br /> priority. That being said, the sidewalks get done the day after the storm is done and the <br /> streets are clean. Depending when the storm ends it may seem like a long time before the <br /> sidewalks get done but really it is as soon as the guys are back to work the next day after <br /> the storm. They operate 2 bobcats and 4 sidewalk machines while clearing 45 miles of <br /> sidewalks after plowing. She also noted if they get less than 2 inches of snow the sidewalks <br /> do not get done because they tear up tree lawns easily when the ground is not frozen. <br /> Mr. Friedmann noted he thinks the sidewalks should be done no matter how little snow we <br /> get. <br /> Public Comment <br /> Peter Kramer noted he thinks management dropped the ball on the most recent storms <br /> regarding the sidewalks. <br /> Page I I <br />
