      When the meeting was called to order, and Cathy stated that Harold Karaka had issues at the bandstand that he wished to explain to the board.

     Harold stated that when he went to repair the hole in the bandstand floor, the problem escalated; he found that the floor and columns have rotted.

     With the engineers, they are trying to decide what type of columns to use.

     Board is in agreement that the project is to be done properly so that there will not be an issue again in the future.

     Roger made a motion, with engineer’s approval for the Wastewater Project, to pay UV Marks $692,768.24, and the electric contractor’s voucher in the amount of $18,825.00, seconded by Clara and Don; carried.

     Cathy stated that Jim would need a back-up person at the sewer plant.  Jim has looked into shared services with other towns, and has found a qualified person from Ticonderoga - Mike Porter for $20 per hr.

     Cathy stated that we might have to train another local person for the future.

     Clara moved a resolution to hire Mike Porter on Jim’s recommendation, seconded by Sharron; carried.

     Don moved a resolution to accept the lowest bid as recommended by Clough Harbour for the Airport Apron Project, seconded by Sharron; carried.

     A date was set for a workshop with the Planning Board which will be August 14^th at 5:00 PM.

     Clough Harbour has recommended that instead of a de-humidifier at the well site to install an air-conditioner to solve the problem.

     The Board would like a conference call after August 1^st on the matter.

     Cathy stated - just to keep the board in the loop – that we have an issue with the Dog Control Officer.

We have not been able to get in touch with her when needed.

      Don moved a resolution to adjourn the meeting at 6:45 PM, seconded by Sharron; carried.
