Culverts will be all under line 52 going forward and no longer separated out. • Overbudget on refuse because of unanticipated switch to Pellitteri. Budget was based on old Town & Country/Republic Services pricing contract. • Tree trimming is under budget because we haven’t done any yet this year due to lack of coordination with Burns brothers to assist with lift and chipper. Dahlk will contact Steve and Tom Burns to see if they intend to trim before it gets too late in the season. • Bathroom/back hall renovation will be taken out of the general fund; won’t take from ATC fund as the truck package for the new plow truck isn’t ready until next year. With the purchase of the new tractor along with the bathroom/hall remodel, will just swap with the previously anticipated truck package from capital outlay.
