Buildings and Grounds, Commissioner Higgins, Sr.

The back room is done. Commissioner Sheehan called Wunder and expressed to them that the Commissioners were not happy with them. If they are not here this week to finish the work that still needs to be done they will be terminating their employment and get another electrician.

The trees and vines behind the shed need to be trimmed and cut. Will need to get a landscaper in to do it but in the interim Bobby Higgins will spray the poison ivy.

Commissioner Souza is looking into getting a three phase generator for the first aid squad. Electrician is getting back to him on a price.
