I, therefore, recommend authorization be given to the Attorney,

necessary change orders extending contracts #1 and #2.
I, also would appreciate authorization to proceed post-haste
with the bidding of all other projects, so that these needed
projects can be completed in the shortest possible time at the
least possible cost.
Very truly yours,

Dutchess County Health Department on the districts involved.
MR. CLAUSEN moved that the Engineer to the Town be authorized to
seek bids for the aforesaid work in the Fleetwood Manor Sewer and
Water Districts. Seconded by Mr. Mills.
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Lapar asked, on behalf of the Highway Superintendent, that
Mr. Horton be given authorization to seek bids for an addition on
the Highway Garage Building. Mr. Horton explained that the addition
would be placed southerly of the existing buildings and be within
the already fenced in portion of the TOwn Highway property - a
building approximately 60' x 72' to be used for storage of the
Towns' voting machines, as well as additional equipment. Three or
four years ago there were three buildings, now there are only two
buildings, and there is more equipment to house. There is no heat
in the pole barn either, and a lot of equipment and three trucks
standing outside.

MR. MILLS moved that the Engineer to the Town be authorized to
draw up more extensive plans and specifications for a Highway
Building, and then seek bids.
Mr. Clausen asked Mr. Mills if he would consider re -stating the
