Bay Restoration Report by Pat Kirk. Final design of project has been done and just waiting on County approval.  Once county approval is received, Pat will submit plan for permits.  Three grant opportunities available and due by the end of the month. Grants are for matching funds so Pat suggested we set aside extra money for matching.  General discussion of asking for special assessment at the annual meeting for restoration project but with the cost of sewer connection at approximately $300.00 plus plumbing costs it might be too much in one year. Issue tabled for now. Total cost of dredging is estimated at $270,000 and we have $100,000 set aside in a CD account plus $25,000 grant approved and awaiting receipt of check.

Landscaping Committee by Linda Owens.  City contacted to ask about feasibility of connecting to waste water pipes installed down the west end by Centex.  No pump was ever installed so not possible at this time to connect without major cost and easement rights.  Also advised that not a good time to continue landscaping of boulevard since the sever lines and street repaving will be taking place this summer possibly.
