istrator. Mayor Morrison explained he cannot appoint himself to that
position but will be acting as the official representative during this tran-
sition time.

area adjacent to personal property. It was explained that the adjacent
owner is responsible to keep it cleaned up to the middle of the alley.

OLD BUSINESS:
Frank Page-DOWL HKM Engineer reported the Southwest/Transmis-
sion water and sewer project is going well. They are currently work-
ing on installing sewer lines. No additional paving will be completed
until fall but Wilson Construction will be working on replacing millings
and rough spots. TCT & MDU will be working on lowering their utility
lines. He discussed contract Amendment #6 for professional services
between the Town of Lovell and DOWL HKM for the South phase of
the project. Additional funding was granted from SLIB which will be
used to match funds from Rural Development so the South portion of
the project can be completed.
Mayor Morrison explained concerns that have come up regarding al-
lowing the school to resolve a drainage issue on their gym parking lot
by connecting to an underground drain under the street. It has been
determined it would be best to keep the drainage out of the ground
and drain it above ground down the street. Frank Page suggested the
slope of the street could be raised and it could crown more to keep
the water from the school draining as necessary down the existing
curbs. Some of the funds saved by the school project change order
could be used to help with the necessary road crown and valley gut-
ter for handling the water. Bruce Wolsey made a motion to allow the
above ground drainage on Bulldog Boulevard and north and south
side of Carmon Avenue. Second by Brian Dickson. All in favor. Mo-
tion passed.

before" to "On or after" on the second line. Second by Scott Allred. All
in favor. Motion passed.
Discussion was held regarding why there is a need for Amendments
to the original contract for the engineering work performed by DOWL

ing for the projects. After the South project is complete only Main
