Blow off valve location sheets, including GPS coordinate, will be completed by Ian Hayes as the valves are turned during spring flushing of the water system.

The maps are discussed. Mike Smith makes a motion to not pursue marking of the center line of the roads. Nancy Cole seconds. Motion passed 6-0.

Jay Buckley will outline the valves which need to be checked and/or relocated based on swing tie information and send to Nancy Cole for submission to Chad Roberge of Terra Star/Avitar.
