Pledge of Allegiance
Each Commissioner described their experiences at the different town parades they attended and how great it is to celebrate America’s 250th Birthday.
Commissioner Greg Miles described what happened this year in history: In 2002, Serena Williams beat her older sister, Venus, 7-6, 6-3, for her first Wimbledon singles title. IN 1995, the Bosnian Serbs had begun cutting off supply lines, destroying infrastructure, and preparing for the eventual capture of the town. This set the stage for the mass killing of over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys that began on July 11, along with the ethnic cleansing of tens of thousands of women and children. In 1945, George Bush was born. In 1928, the first all-talking motion picture was shown in New York (Lights of New York). In 1777, British General Burgoyne captured Fort Ticonderoga from the Americans.
Public Works Update
Public Works Director Mike Casper provided an update of ongoing and upcoming work. The chipping on Chuck’s Meat Road (11500 W) in Arcadia is complete. They will move to Pleasant Valley, 10000 South, next. Sometime this season, they would like to continue the paving on Red Creek Road (CR 1). Mowing is about 95% completed this year; it should be completed after this week. Commissioner Miles requested that Lord Calvert Road (CR 218W) be mowed. He said it hasn’t been done for a couple of years. The parties discussed the culverts that need repair or replacement. The 2000 West overlay project will go out to bid. Commissioner Killian discussed where the road was cut on State Street; it has settled and needs to be fixed. The parties discussed other roads that need repairs, as well as the asphalt around the new Road Department Building.
