Mayor’s Report:
Mayor Carruth informed the Council that the land survey for the community center project is in progress, there are three sections that have to be reviewed and it should be completed within the next week or two. He also informed the Council that the sewer leak on Timberlane Street has been fixed. We also submitted a letter of support to the Police Jury in assistance for them to apply for grant funds. Mayor Carruth also stated that a letter is being drafted to be sent out to all sewer customers informing them that any and all sewer issues need to be reported to the Town as soon as they occur. Once the issue has been addressed, it will be determined whether or not it is the Town’s responsibility or the customer’s responsibility – if the issue is on the customer’s side of the sewer line, any and all repairs made are to be made by the customer.
