Chairman Hamper has informed the Commissioners about the need to review this section of the ordinance. -Mayor Pro Tem Vance reported construction had begun on the park. It was brought to the Committee's attention that construction would have an impact on the Soccer program. In order to accomodate the soccer program, the contractor could delay work on part of that section of the park. He would incur a cost of approximately $900.00 in having to bring the heavy equipment back at the end of the soccer season, and asked for a seven day extension to the contract completion date due to the delay. Mayor Pro Tem Vance presented the Council with a check from the Soccer Association in that amount to offset the cost of the delay. Mayor Pro Tem Vance made a motion to authorize accepting the payment of $900.00 from the Soccer Association and modify the park contract to add an additional one week in order to accommodate the soccer program. This motion is also contingent on the State's approval of these changes. Council. Member Martignago seconded, motion carried unanimously. -Mayor Pro Tem Vance reported to the Council that if the M.U.D. District installed the sewer system for the Park it would cost $4,800.00.

Mayor Pro Tem Vance made a motion to modify the park contract to allow the M.U.D. to install the sewer at a cost not to exceed $4,800.00 which would be a savings of $1,400.00 to the Town. This would be contingent on the State's approval.
