OPPORTUNITY for any citizen present to discuss items not on the agenda: Chris Yancey asked if the leaf pick up was done. Response was that it will probably continue for another 2-3 weeks. Margaret Glover thanked the community for the volunteer participation in the benefit that was held this weekend. It was very much appreciated. Gene Brown inquired about checking with other towns and how many elderly people can’t push the big containers out to the street, it may be a burden for them. Also asked if it was necessary to buy a separate truck? Response was that the current truck is not big enough to add a 20 yard packer on to it without stretching the frame.
