Details of planned capital improvement projects including cost and timeline. <br /> 2. How much has been the reserve fund in past years?And why it need to go up and by how much? <br /> 3. Prepare for future state and federal regs. Really? Do you know what regs are coming and what improvements would <br /> they require? I don't think even lawmakers know about it.Two things-why not wait for the related increase when they <br /> actually come by? It's not that new laws need to be implemented overnight. In any case please supply the related <br /> nformation. <br /> I.. What's the maintenance/operation cost that was not covered by the last inflation adjustment? <br /> I would expect other town residents also needing this info. <br /> Thank you <br /> Dinesh Sharma <br /> 1 <br />
