That the Managers meet and talk about the options related to connecting the residents of the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood to sewer. 7. That funding is identified for the cost of connecting from the OWASA infrastructure to the home in addition to applying for grants for low-to-moderate income persons.

Bids were received for the Community Center in September with all bids over budget and the bids were rejected. The project will be rebid as soon as plans have been revised and approved by the Town of Chapel Hill...
