concern that some streets which had been recently patched, yet soon to be undergoing |
complete street improvement may cause residents inconvenience twice in a short time. |
The Committee realized that some patching, performed by our Public Works Department |

SCADA system was discussed and information will follow. DeFalco said that the money |
for the SCADA Improvement is in the proposed Capital Improvements Plan. One |

manpower and equipment. He said that this may have caused unavoidable delays or |
inconvenience to some residents, but all of the situations needed to be dealt with at the |
same time. |
