mailbox, one that gives her fourteen days to comply with an order to clear
brush on her property that was not on an official letterhead. The fact that

Kiefer told the Board that he has had a conversation with Mrs.Grizzell and

Marshall Kiefer was receptive to her concerns and that she appreciated his
courtesy. John Bleakley said he felt the order was not clear on how far
back the brush should be trimmed. Marshall Kiefer said it should be trimmed
so nothing obstructs the roadway. Danny Orr asked what would be done with
vacant lots. Marshall Kiefer said owners would be notified. Greg said it
would take time to notify all property owners. Codification continues to be
on hold. David Certo asked Greg, who spoke to him by phone to hold his
wages, as he has not been able to attend town meetings. Carla made a motion
that Town Attorney David Certo write Butler asking them to trim all flora
and grass on property that Butler owns that abuts Rocky Ripple property.
Danny seconded the motion. It was suggested that he should notify Butler
that if they are keeping land as a natural area that The Department of
Natural Resources has an ordinance that natural area is not to be within 150
feet of residential areas. Dan Axler asked Danny Orr for a retraction about
funds spent on the pavilion in Hohlt Park. Danny said he was wrong. Danny
said he would print a disclaimer stating that the views in the Ripple Effect
are his personal ones and not those of the Board. Resident Kandy Kendall
asked Greg and Danny why they used town equipment to cut their own property
and the Town chain saw to cut up trees. Danny said he owned his own chainsaw
and had never used the Town chainsaw for personal use. Greg took exception
stating he owns a mower that is a duplicate of the Town Mower except in
color and that he never used the Town Mower for personal use. Kandy
withdrew her complaint. Danny said that the bicycle that was chained to the
53rd Street Bridge was removed to the town hall and a notice left so someone
could claim it. Marshall Kiefer will release the bike when he is satisfied
of ownership. Marshall Report. Mike said he was on vacation for two weeks.
He has given nine town Ordinance violations for Trees and Brush. One ticket
was given for a leash violation. Resident Margaret Jansen asked about the
rusted mowers that were abandoned in the 5300 Block of Karstadt Ave.
Marshall Kiefer said they belonged to Danny Carr, Sr. and he promised to
remove them by the end of July. Since they are still there Mike said he
would follow up to see they are removed. Committee Reports: Eric Bucy gave
The Riverfront Action Committee report. Eric said Carla closed the July
meeting before he completed his report. Carla and Greg apologized. Eric
said the committee is on hold as only six or seven persons have helped on
the clearing of the levee and that attendance was sporadic due to the hot
weather. Eric said he has only three days to complete the work on a
Forestry Grant that has the potential of producing funds up to 10,000.00
Greg made a motion to allow 2000.00 in matching funds in order to apply for
this grant. Danny seconded the motion. Carla made it unanimous. Eric said
8000.00 could be allowed by using town equipment and manpower. Carla asked
Eric if he had completed his report and he said he had. Rocky Ripple
Community Association: Margaret Jansen gave the report. The Rocky Ripple
Festival is planned for September 24th. Residents are requested to provide
items to raffle, home baked goods and to volunteer to work that day. Notify
any Rocky Ripple Association member if you can help. Dan Axler asked about
the cars parked at the turn a round at the end of Riverview. Marshall
Kiefer will notify persons who own these vehicles to move them. Old
Business. Greg read a proposal by Friends of White River to widen the path
to the river east of the town hall to eight feet wide. This project will be
funded by a grant of 10500.00 that was awarded to the Town by Friends of
White River from Fish Kill Funds. Greg said that if we are to utilize funds
that the Rocky Ripple Community Association holds in the amount of
approximately 3800.00 it must be done before September. This grant was
originally written for a deck/dock. Permission was given to use it for a
related project. The proposal Greg was given was to cost 8500.00 Greg
suggested the 3800.00 be spent first as that fund needs to be returned by
September and the Community Association would have to return the entire
grant of 4754.00 After discussion with Board members Greg made a motion to
have Friends of White River move forward with the proposal as written. Carla
seconded the motion. Danny made a motion that the Board approach Rocky
Ripple Community Board members to ask for the Funds originally planned for a
deck/dock. Carla seconded the motion. Scott Westphal asked for
clarification on the cost of the project and how funds from the Community
Association would be used. Greg said the funds would be used first from the
Community Association and then from the Grant from Friends of White River
since they would have no penalty on returned funds. Greg said the detached
garage has severe damage to its roof with structural damage to the rafters.
Greg will contact roofers to about the cost to repair it. Greg said he
would contact the Town Attorney David Certo to see if the Town can issue a
bond to cover the cost of matching funds for the study of flood control.
Carla said she has not been able to contact Crystal DeHann on behalf of the
town to ask for her help for the flood control project. She said Butler has"
no dog in this fight" and they have no interest in being involved. With no
further business to conduct Danny made a motion to adjourn at 9:25 P.M. Greg
seconded the motion.
Town of Rocky Ripple
Approved Minutes July 12,2005
Council member Carla Gaff-Clark called the meeting to order at 7:30 P.M.
In attendance were council members Carla Gaff-Clark and Greg Goodrich. Clerk
Treasurer Margaret Ann Jansen was present.
Carla welcomed visitors. Pledge was recited. Treasurers Report was called
for and read. Greg made a motion to accept the minutes as read. Carla
seconded the motion.
Treasurer reported an additional 90.00 correction in the total of supplies
in the General Fund with the proposed budget prepared on June 25,2005.
Treasurer said she has an appointment in Thursday July 14,2005 with the
Department of Local Finance for a workshop for the 2006 budget.
Resident Dan Axler suggested the clerk might want to reschedule as The
President of The United States will be downtown during the day on Thursday.
The clerk thanked him for the reminder.
The clerk asked the Board to schedule a presentation of the proposed budget
at the beginning of the regular meeting on August 9,2005 and to schedule the
adoption of the Budget at the beginning of the September 13,2005 meeting.
After discussion Carla agreed to the dates as given but said the meetings
will be scheduled at 7:15 P.M.
Minutes of June 14,2005 were called for and read. Corrections were called
for. Greg made a motion to accept the report with said corrections. Carla
seconded the motion.
New Business: Greg introduced Mr. Allen Hughes who is a real estate
consultant for Singular Wireless. He spoke about a variance to place a 130
ft. communication tower on Highland Country Club grounds. The Tower will not
be lighted. In answer to resident Paul Redmond he said it would not have
microwave radiation as it works on radio waves.
Mr. Hughes said it would not effect television or radio reception.
Paul Redmond asked for some remuneration for Rocky Ripple. Mr. Hughes said
he would take this request to his client.
Mr. Hughes can be reached at 872-6714 and at email A. Hughes @ Comcast.net
Resident Concerns: Paul Redmond stated his disappointment that council
member Danny Orr was not in attendance. Paul said that in his opinion that
the newspaper Ripple Effect that Danny produces should not have been the
venue for announcing the message from Senator Lugar about the Funding of
100000.00 fund for The Army Corps of Engineers to produce a Feasibility
study for a wall on the levee. This would require matching funds from the
Town.
Paul said the Board should release this type of information in an official
newsletter and he reminded the Board that as a campaign issue they promised
to provide one. Greg said he had not made such a promise.
Carla said it was her intention to write one but needed cooperation from the
other Board members. Carla said Danny said he had no interest in assisting
with it.
Resident Marilynn Hunter told Carla that lack of cooperation should not keep
her from producing an official newsletter even if it only had the approved
minutes.
Ms. Hunter said lines between the Ripple Effect and The Board is being
blurred.
Greg said it is imperative to produce an official newsletter and in doing
so, he promised that he would state that The Ripple Effect is not an
official newsletter.
Resident Concerns Continued: Geoffrey Boyles said the Public Address System
at Highland Country Club is very noisy creating a nuisance at his
home. Carla said she
Would call Highland to tell them about the problem. Marilynn Hunter told
the Board an odor is emitting from that side of the river and it smell like
sewage. Scott Westphal said he was riding his bicycle near Highland County
Club last year and got caught in a boggy substance that appeared to be
sewage.
Carla said when speaking to them about the P.A. System she will ask about
the sewage odor.
Geoffrey Boyles said he understood the Rocky Ripple Community Association
would deliver Board talk when delivering their newsletter. He encouraged the
Board to try to get one out and to look for objective news.
Dan Axler asked the Board to request Danny Orr to print a disclaimer on
improper and misleading information printed about the cost of the pavilion.
Dan said the fact that Danny is a Board member gives the impression it is an
official publication. Dan said he feels Danny is printing lies and is
printing misconstrued information bordering on slander.
Greg said he would not be party to incorrect information.
Susan Grizzell spoke to Greg about angry she was when he cut brush along her
property and the Canal Boulevard. Susan said she felt Greg was extremely
disrespectful and discourteous. She said her number is in the phone book and
the Town Directory and she thought he should have notified her that he
planned to cut the brush.
Susan asked Greg why he had not cleaned up after he did the work.
Greg apologized and said he had not meant to offend and the cuttings were
done after the second car went into the Canal. He said when he was done he
was busy and hot.
Greg said the Indianapolis Water Company has not responded to his repeated
request for a barrier on the Canal. Dan Axler said that barriers are bent
and need to be repaired.
Marilynn Hunter it is a matter of public safety and the Water Company needs
to take action.
Mick Gregory said he appreciated all the work Greg has done on behalf of the
Town.
The trees cut and left on the lot next to Robert Tomey are said to have been
cut by The Indianapolis Power and Light Co. There is a downed power line on
the property. The Board will cal I.P.L. to ask them to return to clear the
debris.
Becky Stoops said her ongoing concern is the water table that rose during
the January water event. Becky said it is a Health and Safety issue because
of septic systems in Town.
She asked the board to push sewers for our Town.
Dan Axler suggested the Board call The Indianapolis Water Company to address
the Town about the rise in water tables after town wells were capped.
Greg met with Kevin Hardie to discuss the twelve thousand five hundred Fish
Kill Grant for river access given to the Town. Kevin gave Greg information
on someone who could do this work. Kevin gave The Town several pounds of
grass seed provided by Fish Kill Funds.
Greg made a motion to hold the twelve thousand five hundred dollars for now.
This motion rescinds last months order to return the Funds. Carla seconded
the motion.
The property by the cul de sac owned by Butler needs mowing. Carla spoke to
Butler representative Mike Gardner who told her they would not cut the area
but gave his permission for the Town to cut it.
Greg responded that there is plenty to mow in our Town without mowing Butler
property. It was suggested the Board call Health and Hospital Corporation to
report this. Greg made a motion to adopt a section to the Town Ordnances
outlining Duties of Property Owners. It is as Follows.
2-3-3 Sec.11. Duties of property owner.
@ The owner of any private property in Rocky Ripple which borders or lies
adjacent to any public street, alley, right-of-way, place or park and upon
which any trees or flora may be standing shall trim or cause such trees or
flora to be trimmed either at the property line, or to a clear height of at
least eight (8) feet above the surface of any abutting right-of-way or
place, and fourteen (14) feet above any public street or alley.
No person shall plant or maintain any tree or flora so close to any property
line as to obstruct the vision or free passage of pedestrians or motorists
along the streets or public right-of-way. Rocky Ripple or its contractual
agents may enter on private property to do such cutting or trimming as may
be necessary to remove any offending and obstructing tree or flora that is
prohibited by the provisions hereof.
(b) An owner shall, and Rocky Ripple may, remove all dead,
decayed, broken or dangerous limbs, branches or parts thereof or any that
overhang or are close to any public
Street, alley, right-of way, or place, and when any such flora is dead, the
owner shall completely remove the same, or after notice to and failure of
the owner so to do. The Town of Rocky Ripple or its lawful agents may cause
such removal and charge the cost thereof to the owner.
Carla seconded the motion.
Marshall Report: Three tickets were written. Two were for speeding and one
for driving while having a suspended license. Mike reported some late night
flower tossing. He said curfew is 11 P.M. for youths 14 under and for youths
15 to 17 the curfew is 11 weekdays and until 1 on Friday and Saturday.
Resident Kandy Kendall said that it is not true that a curfew exists. She
said" We won our case in February". Mike said he would enforce the 2004 law.
Mike said he would like to thank the residents who cleared the Stop Signs
when he notified them. He said most cleared them.
Motorized Scooter operators must be 15 and wear helmets if under 18. Mike
said he would require anyone under 18 riding without a helmet to shut them
down and walk them home.
Continued disregard of wearing the helmet could result in a meeting at the
Town Hall with the Marshall and with the youths and their parent or
guardian.
Riverfront Action Committee: Eric Bucy said next levee workday would be
Saturday July 23rd. Signs will be posted. Eric said he is interested in
writing a Grant for Forestry Management. Greg said that would be great.
Eric said a group of outsiders have been joining him for Kick Ball in Hohlt
Park. Next game is scheduled for July 23rd. Clerk reminded Eric she
schedules the Park use so there is not a conflict with groups using the
park. An example she used was a wedding or family reunion.
Eric said he would like to schedule the Park on August 6.
Greg said the Officers memorial planned for the Crown Street entrance of
Hohlt Park has three fir trees just back of the Hohlt Park Sign that would
be suitable for the dedication.
Dan Axler said it would be most cost effective to have a bronze or marble
insert to list the information on the stone. Dan said they had used the
stone center Lloyds of Indiana that is located just east of the Dairy Queen
on 52nd Street.
With no further business to conduct Greg made a motion to adjourn at 9:32
P.M.
Carla seconded the motion.
Respectfully Submitted:

Minutes 6-14-2005 Town of Rocky
Ripple Council member Carla Gaff-Clark called the Town Board meeting to
order at 7:30 P.M. In attendance were council members Carla Gaff-Clark and
Greg Goodrich. Clerk Treasurer Margaret Ann Jansen was present. The pledge
of allegiance was recited. Carla welcomed visitors. Minutes of May 10,2005

Greg seconded the motion. Carla made the vote unanimous. Treasurer's report
was called for and read. Danny made a motion to accept the report as read.
Greg seconded the motion. Carla made the vote unanimous. Citizens Concerns:
Marilynn Hunter has had a conversation with Kevin Hardie and he suggested
seed might be supplied with Fish Kill Funds. Marilynn said it is not her job
to be involved with decisions made on behalf of the Town but Kevin
told her the Fish Kill Funds might be used to purchase lots from Mike Mooney
to expand the area of Wapahani Park. Marilynn offered some insight which
she said was not official, on why there was more standing water with the
recent high water event. She said it was possible that since our wells were
capped by The Indianapolis Water Co. the natural balance was destroyed. The
water comes up through septic fields and that could offer health concerns.
Danny said he would call The Indianapolis Water Co. to see if the expected
sewer installation might be moved up. Marilynn asked the Board if the
Riverfront Action committee was doing levee repair in one of the four areas
that was identified by The Department of Public Works in 1996. Carla said
the area just west of the Town Hall was one of the areas mentioned. Robert
Tomey said he has a video of the 1996 presentation of the proposed wall from
The Army Corps of Engineers. Robert asked the Board if they have checked on
the steps down to the river behind 706 West 54th. Robert said he thinks
there is damage to the levee from that installation. Greg will look into the
situation. Jenni Beesley would like the legal paperwork on the vacating and
rededication of 4999 Riverview Drive. Greg gave her some forms to complete
and will call the Town Attorney on her behalf. Eric Bucy said a fire
hydrant is blocked at 53rd and Patterson. He stated that all of the fire
hydrants should be flushed. Danny will call The Indianapolis Water Co.
Marilynn Hunter said Veterans Peace Park looked great. Danny said there are
forty bricks left to plant. The plans are to have this done by the fourth of
July. Old Business: Attorney David Certo continues to work on Codification
of The Town Ordnances. \Danny said he would like to have a committee to set
minimum standards for the upkeep of homes in the Town. Marshall Kiefer said
residents should call the mayor's Action Line to complain about abandoned
cars and trash and grass and weeds that have not been cut. Carla said she
has not had a response from Senator Lugar's office about the $100,000.00 for
the feasibility study for the levee. She said our matching funds could come
from floating a bond. Greg spoke about the need to raise taxes to meet our
budget. The Board has been drawing on past savings to meet an approximate
$20,000.00 shortfall each year. A tentative date of July 9 was set to start
the budget process for 2006. Danny will notify the Clerk and council members
of the time. John Atkinson asked the Board to notify The Department of
Public Works to clear the island that is building up on 38th. Street.
Marshall's Report: Mike issued three tickets for stop sign violations and
made one arrest for domestic battery. Committee Reports: Park and
Greenspace spokesperson Carol Morotti said the committee met and decided to
disband. The reason given was resistance of the Board to proposals they have
presented. Carla asked if they would reconsider and Carol said they would
not. Clerk said the Grant Funds from Friends of White River would need to be
returned since the project will not be completed. Greg made a motion to
return the $12,500.00 to The White River Fish Kill for River Access
Improvements. Danny seconded the motion. A planner representing Adam Garvey
asked the Board to issue a letter in support of a variance for a garage that
is in the process of being built at Casey May and Adam Garvey's residence on
Clarendon Road. He said that Garvey has letters from their neighbors
supporting the variance. Eric Johnson complained that the height of the
building obscured his view. Robert Tomey asked Eric if he had a kennel
permit for his dogs. Eric said he had one. Eric Bucy said the application
for a variance is a common practice. Greg said the Board has no power to
supply permits and would not be involved in this process. Danny agreed.
With no further business to conduct Danny made a motion to adjourn at 9:25
P.M. Greg seconded the motion.
Minutes May 10,2005 Council member

seconded the motion. Minutes of April 12,2005 were called for and read.
Danny made a motion to accept the report as read. Greg seconded the motion.
Greg called for resident concerns. Marilynn Hunter asked if The Riverfront
Action Committee could use their expertise to advise riverfront residents.
She suggested the committee could identify trees that can be removed as well
as identify larger trees than residents should not remove. She said
Riverfront property owners might be used to monitor erosion. Marilynn said
Friends of White River might provide funds to acquire seeds. Danny made a
motion to follow up with acquiring funds from Friends of White River for
seeds and plants. Greg seconded the motion. Scott Westphal asked the Board
for written permission to continue with plans for a viewing platform. This
would take place of the Deck/Dock plans and would allow the Parks and
Greenspace Committee to use the remaining 3800.00 Deck/Dock Grant. Scott
said it has consumed time and effort for his and Carol Morotti's part and
they did not want to continue unless they had a commitment from the Board.
Greg said he has asked many times for plans for The Fish Kill Funds and that
the Board received a drawing at this meeting that was incomplete with regard
to material to be used and a copy of a contract with Adam Garvey and Frank
Kelly. Greg made a motion to give the Parks Committee conditional approval
for the viewing platform. The motion had no second. Greg withdrew the
motion. Greg made a motion to place the Grant of The Fish Kill Funds on
hold until a list of The Boards concerns are answered. Danny seconded the
motion. Carol Morotti said she thought the Board had a copy of the proposal
for the Fish Kill Grant. The clerk and the two Board members present denied
having such records. Carol said she would provide copies of the proposal.
Old Business: Greg said Attorney David Certo is working with the court
system on the codification process. Officer's Memorial: Greg suggested
etching the officer memorial in a Stone similar to ones that denote the
Park's names. Carol Morotti said she could get a discount from the stone
center. Adam Garvey will be contacted about this project. Greg said Mr.
Hewitt returned his call about the Canal Road barrier. Mr. Hewitt said that
The Board should call The City of Indianapolis New Business: Greg said the
three Board Members met with the City of Indianapolis Department of Public
Works on April 30,2005 to discuss Rocky Ripple matching funds for a study of
the feasibility of a wall for levee control. Greg said Carla was to have
presented ideas on how to fund this project but she was not able to attend
tonight. Danny said the Town might float a bond issue. Danny said the
Warfleigh project is to continue next spring, Marshall Report: Mike said he
issued two speeding tickets this month and one dog leash violation. Leash
law violations must be seen by the Marshall to result in a ticket. Tools
were reported missing from a work truck in the 5100 block of Lester. Moped
complaints Have been addressed by the Marshall. Riders must be fifteen
years of age. Riders under eighteen years of age must wear a helmet. Speed
limits are less than twenty-five miles an hour. Committee Reports: Parks
Committee: Scott Westphal gave the report. The committee met last night.
Peace Park play experience was discussed. Greg said he thought no equipment
needed to be added to Peace Park but more trees are needed. Hohlt Park beds
on the Crown Street entrance were cleared but lilies remain for anyone who
would like to remove them. The beds will be cleared next week. Carol
Morroti will forward a copy of the Parks and Greenspace minutes to the
clerk. Greg asked the Parks and Greenspace Committee to clear Fountain
Park. Riverfront Advisory Committee: Eric Bucy gave the report. Signs will
be posted about the levee clean up on the second and fourth Saturdays.
Inclement weather has hampered the Committee. The committee has not found
someone to work on Grants. Volunteers are welcome. Rocky Ripple Community
Association: The report was given by Anne Jansen The R.R.C.A. wants to
provide Beer sales for their Festival. The Vendor would be responsible for
liability insurance. Greg said the Board could not approve liquor In the
Parks as it would be against our ordnances. Marshall Kiefer said if the
Board approved the sale by a special ordinance he would recommend hiring an
extra officer for the event. The Saturday coffees, which are hosted by
resident Wanda Martin, have been a success. All are welcome for coffee and
a chat. Marshall Kiefer briefly attended the past event and said he found
the coffee very good. Greg made a motion to name Danny Orr liaison to the
Rocky Ripple Community Association from the Board Danny seconded the
motion. Danny invited everyone to join him at the Town Hall on Saturday May
14,2005 to celebrate his fiftieth birthday. With no further business to
conduct Danny made a motion to adjourn at 9:30 P.M. Greg seconded the

Marilynn Hunter spoke of the abduction and murder of a child in Florida by a
convicted sex offender. She asked if the Board could identify any sex
offenders that are on the registry that live in our Town. Marshall Kiefer
said sex offender registers are done by Counties and that anyone living in
Rocky Ripple would be listed in Marion County. Greg asked him to provide a
list to the Board and he said the Board members would attempt to search that
list for addresses of offenders who might live in Rocky Ripple. Sue Bowling

if plans are drawn up will the Board consider them. Danny said he has
reservations Citing his concern about erosion. Greg said the Board would
consider the plans. Scott said the Community Association might have to
return the 5000.00 of the Grant Funds if not used for another project other
than the deck/dock. Clerk told Scott that the original amount of the grant
was 4754.00 and about 900.00 have been spent. Greg made a motion to

attend the Town meetings when possible. Citizen Concerns: Carolyn Fay who
resides at 706 West 54th St. gave the Board a copy of approval by the

the Board decides that the iron stairs is damaging the levee the homeowner
would remove it. Greg seconded the motion. Eric Bucy said a Republic
dumpster is in the river five houses east of the Town Hall. Greg said he
would check on it. Carol Morotti said she and Scott Westphal disagree with
the way the work was done on the levee on March 5th and 6th. She said not
enough planning was done. They objected to accelerate used on the fire. She
said ground cover was removed and not replaced which places the levee in
peril Greg answered that this is a work in progress. A chipper was to be
used but was not working properly. Carla asked that a plan be put together
before more work is done. Greg thanked all who helped with the work and for
residents who provided food that day. Frank Kelley said it was a strong
event and people who showed up made great progress. Paul Redmond said

Health has placed a mosquito trap behind the Town Hall and will pick up
specimens five days a week. The Board of Health told Greg that the Community
Garden has tires that need to be removed. Nathan France said he would
remove them or cut down the sides that hold water. Greg asked Carla to tell
him when she and the other Board members could meet with our Congressional
Representatives to discuss the levee. Carla said she has not contacted
Crystal DeHann but has discussed joining hands with Butler on the levee
problem. Carla read a letter from Butler University outlying their plans for
a residential apartment that will house 500 students. Greg said Butler has
proven to be a good neighbor. Town Marshall Report: Mike said he gave one
ticket this last month for a stop sign violation. Mike said he was not able
to work for ten days because he had viral pneumonia. He said he is feeling
better. Mike said the new DSL is up and running on his computer and that it
is great to be able to pull up his reports so quickly. Danny said he sent
a letter to the owners of the lot at 5360 Lester and they promise to clean
it up within thirty days. Mike will use the codification process to follow
up. At this time in the meeting the clerk asked Greg if Attorney David

southern Indiana that might be suitable. Riverfront Advisory Committee did
a fine job in accumulating a lot of data on the levee. Danny said he would
like to extend that to form a Riverfront Action Committee to effect logical
steps to repair and maintain the levee. He asked Eric Bucy if he would be
chairman of this Committee. Eric agreed to take the position but wanted a
clear definition of his mission. Danny made a motion to form a Riverfront
Action Committee with Eric Bucy as chair. Greg seconded the motion. Carla

Riverfront Advisory reports. Danny said he spoke to the Prosecutor's office
and that as a result of a rampage that took place in our town Danny Carr Jr.

result in a sentence up to 50 years. There is a possibility of a plea
bargain that could reduce the sentence to twenty-five years. A Warning
System to sound in the case of high River water was discussed. A Tank and
air horn that could sound for three minutes with the approximate cost of

March 5 and March 6. Starting time each day will be at 10 A.M. Volunteers
are asked to bring chain saws, rope, chains, wheel barrows and any other

tired of rhetoric and immediate repair is needed. Frank Kelley suggested
that clean fillers be accepted and a front loader could be used. Brush and
limbs will be burned. Larry Landis said a concrete wall is in the place of
the earthen levee on his property. During the high water event the concrete
wall had water leaking through it. Some residents said it was more than a
leak and it was a large crack with water forcing through it. Some repair
will be done at this location. Carol Morotti said D.N.R. permits are needed
for any alteration of the levee. It was stated this would only be cleaning

Board to meet with them. The representatives plan to ask The Army Corps of
Engineers to set aside 100,000 for a feasibility study for the Town to host
their own project. This would require the Town to match these funds. Carla
said this did not have to be in cash and they offered creative ways for the
Town to provide these funds. Butler University, Chrystal DeHann and the
Riviera Club are possibilities that could be explored to join the Town in a
project. Danny stressed that this is a public safety issue. Town Marshall
