Caravaglia stated that the DLGF report is due April 15. She and the auditor’s office worked with Baker Tilly to complete the report. It will be uploaded to Gateway by April 15. No action is required by the DCRC, just an acknowledgement that it has been received.

Thomas presented a request concerning a parcel for the Gaston Sidewalk project. The property owners made a counter-offer for an additional $4,500 for the purchase of the property to account for the replacement of the trees. Struble advised the board that this is a common occurrence in land acquisitions and the Commission must weigh the cost of litigation and condemnation against the requested increase. Struble stated she saw no concerns with the request. Commissioner Brand noted sufficient funds in the engineering estimate to cover the added expense. Commissioner Henry moved to approve. Commissioner Brand seconded. Unanimous approval; motion carried by roll call vote #9.
