Item #1: Mayor Bradley called the meeting to order at 7:02 p.m. and announced a quorum.
Item #2: The Board convened into executive session at 7:05 p.m. as Mayor Bradley read the items to be

Item 43: No action was required coming out of executive session.
Item #4: Citizens' Presentation: No one wished to address the Board.
Item #5: Presentation by Jeff Williams, the Town Engineer, regarding the bridge and hike and bike trail
on Dove Road west of Precinct Line Road. Mr. Williams gave a PowerPoint presentation showing the
construction of the underpass allowing the hike and bike trail to go under Dove Road. The underpass is
10 feet high and 10 feet wide with the box culvert put in place to carry the low flow being 4 feet by 3
feet and placed 4 inches below the level of the underpass. There were many questions concerning the
depth of the box culvert and the minimum level of the free board as it relates to the underpass. Mr.
Williams was asked to revise the Engineering Design Standards regarding this issue to ensure that every
practical step be taken to channel the low water flows through the box culvert and divert it from the hike
and bike trail with the understanding that significant rain events will inundate both the box culvert and
the hike and bike trail.
