As
you may recall, the You and Me Subdivision posted two bonds
as a condition of approval for Section 1, which included a Phase
A Improvement Bond to straighten Crystal Run Road in the amount
of $57,850 and a Phase B Bond to add an additional 12’ lane
to Crystal Run Road near the intersection of Goshen Turnpike
at an estimated cost of $33,700. The Planning Board recently
requested that the two bonds be increased in value, in light
of the fact that the bonds were posted in 1994.
In
response, the applicant’s engineer submitted a letter
to our office dated 1 April 2003 which includes a cost estimate,
a copy of which has been attached, increasing the Phase A Bond
from $33,700 to $43,971. The engineer used as a basis for the
increase a 3% increase over nine years, compounded annually.
On the basis of the above, it appears that the requested bond
increase is satisfactory. We would therefore recommend that the
Phase A bond be established in the amount of $75,281 and the
Phase B Bond established in the amount of $43,971. We are hopeful
that the above is acceptable. If you should require any additional
information, please contact our office.

Re: Department of Public Works Employee of the Month
We are pleased to announce that John Sullivan has been selected
as the Department of Public Works Employee of the Month for February
2003. John was nominated for this award for his money saving
idea. John found us a flat bed body to be used on our paint crew
for $300.00. A new flat bed body would have cost the Town $3,000.00.
Thanks to the initiative that John showed, the Town saved $2,700.00.
Thank you for helping us to honor John Sullivan as our most
recent recipient of the Employee of the Month award.
