DISCUSSIONS:
C.A.C. Recommendations for Kaplans Pond:
Garbarini - I guess they have not moved forward with this, so we should take a look and discuss this at the next meeting. They have been trying to get the work done by spring, but it has been canceled.
Railroad Ties:
There will be a meeting on railroad ties next month. West Point will come with persons to discuss this and Rick Herbek, Village Manager will be involved. I will go. If anyone else would like to attend that is fine.
Waterfront Revitalization Project:
Greenbaum - The Water Control Commission would also like to be involved in the Waterfront Revitalization Project.
Garbarini - I know they have awarded the contract and the Village has done some work itself.
Greenbaum - I understand there are plans and blueprints. There was some discussion among other Boards with respect to the by-pass and the picture tunnel.
Garbarini - It is my understanding that there was to be a report on this.
Garbarini - Requested the Water Control Commission Secretary check with Rick Herbek, Village Manager for the report.
