CEO REPORT
John Fuhrman had no written log this month as there was no construction activity. John made us aware of an ongoing situation with the Whalen family, regarding property on the West Bay Road, and will keep us informed.

OLD BUSINESS
We worked on revisions to the Subdivision Ordinance and Land Use Ordinance and will continue revisions at our next regular meeting.

NEW BUSINESS
Dale Church addressed the Board regarding a proposed Subdivision he is working on in South Gouldsboro between Taft Point Road and the Kingsley Farm Subdivision. Dale furnished us with a copy of the preliminary map of the Subdivision in which they are proposing a 2700 foot road. He is aware that our Subdivision Ordinance has a 1000 foot road length and that he would have to ask for a variance on same.

Discussion was had regarding the 2008-2009 Budget for the Board. Since we do not have a Secretary at this time, we agreed that we would not increase our budget with clerical costs for secretarial services, but would continue to rotate this job among the Board members. Our current budget is $4564 and agreement was made to submit a budget for the upcoming budget year for the same amount.

The Meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m.

Respectively submitted,

Thomasina L. Watson, Acting Secretary
