was listed on the caucus agenda, but not discussed in caucus.

not borough properties. Confusion regarding these properties came about due to the locations and the
builders installing fences giving the appearance that these properties do not belong to the owners
adjacent to them.

properties. Once identified, it was suggested that the town inform the residents involved, continue to
maintain until the end of this growing season, then it will be the property owners responsibility. It
was noted that the town has a ten foot right of way throughout the entire town, which of course the
town does not maintain.
