Wood End Update
Finished paving done in house by D.P.W.
Trustees reviewed proposed new center wall and island circle walkways, will wait until completion
to determine if it should be an urn garden (revenue).

system is not the correct system. He will obtain cost to replace chain link fence in Laurel Hill;
piggy back on proposed replacement of fence for schools.

Keatings dead end upgrade, and potential loss. Trustees wish to express concern to return to full

is due to lower lot sales.
