OLD BUSINESS:
Adam asked how many dumpsters they used and how many they ordered for the spring cleanup.

They ended up dumping five all together. Mayor Dean said that although it was a little unorganized he thought it was a success. Scott Gold informed council that the association used them for some of their garbage and wanted to pay some of the bill when we received it.
