CLAIMS – We did not have any workers’ compensation claims or liability claims in May.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – We have applied for a $250,000 grant from the General Land Office (GLO) to help pay for the plan. They required an amendment to our Financial Management Policy. The amendment was approved at the last meeting. We are still awaiting word from the GLO.
COLLEGE STREET – The street itself is 
constructed, but the contractor still needs a couple of weeks to finish sidewalks and landscaping
repairs. We still have road closed signs at both ends, although you can get through if you are
careful.
HOLIDAY DRIVE – Water and sewer lines are completed. The Capital Construction Division has
installed about 1/3 of the underground drainage. The recent rains are significantly hampering this
project. This is a complete reconstruction project, like College Street. After Holiday Drive we will need to start installing water and sewer at Thermo.
WATER FILTER REHABILITATION – All of the filters have been rehabilitated except filter #6. This $3.2 million project is funded by The American Rescue Plan Act (covid money).
