windows repaired. Discussion followed as to what can further be
done to eliminate what is now an "eye sore".
Trustee Marsh then stated that questions have arisen because of
the motion made at the last meeting regarding the non-issuance of
permits to builders who have not complied with the ordinance by having
submitted letters of credit or escrowing funds for the improvements.

with the ordinance, no permit is to be issued. The remainder of the
Board concurred.

Discussion followed regarding the sewers to the sewerage treatment
plant from the Brown subdivision. Engineer Hooper stated we have
no assurance that these will go in. Trustee Marsh then stated that

Utility Company. Trustee Palmer questioned what can be done to assure
that the improvements necessary will be put in. Engineer Hooper stated
strict enforcement of the Subdivision Ordinance will insure that
necesary improvements are put in.
