The mayor and council were present, plus eight residents. The town hall was powered by a generator.

The mayor noted that there had been a lot of expensive damage to trees and roads during the storm. Many people lost electricity. Municipal staff were successful in dealing with most emergencies, particularly John Rhicard who cut many broken trees to clear the roads.

Questions – Repaving of the Foster Rd may be delayed, a culvert must be replaced due to erosion.

The mayor and council asked all residents to support this campaign. Please make a contribution before Dec 15.
