SUPERVISOR FRED CHAMPAGNE CALLED THE MEETING TO ORDER
The purpose of the meeting is to establish a Capital Fund and to look at possibly awarding the bid for
construction of a road.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-The road construction went out to bid and the bids were returnable today, ordinarily
we would wait until Monday to award the bid, however because of the tight time constraints and the fact
that we would like the project started as quickly as possible, and also we have received a letter from the
Attorney for Columbia who has requested additional assurances that the Town will be able to get the road
completed...I would like to send him a letter and give him the assurances that the road will be completed on
time, and send him a copy of the bid documents as well as to however you award the bid contract to.
COUNCILMAN CAIMANO-Questioned how many bids were picked up.
TOWN CLERK DOUGHER-Three bids were picked up, two returned.
