IMPROVEMENTS SCHEDULE OK'D

Town Council approved a schedule of capital improvements Tuesday as recommended by its Utilities Committee.

But Committee Chairman Andrew Graham warned that the schedule may have to be changed to adjust to some short-term needs, such as water tanks that need to be drained and repainted inside to get rid of rust.

Council also learned that concrete soon will be poured around the old Pulaski Train Station, which the town has been converting into a community and visitor building.

Town Manager Thomas Combiths also reported that work has started on replacing water meters, with the largest ones expected to be replaced by Friday.

He said about 350 youngsters have signed up for football, soccer and cheerleading in the town's recreation program.

Council went into closed session to discuss a personnel matter, a legal matter involving the town's agreement to buy water from Pulaski County, and an industrial-development matter involving an industry which has made no public announcement of its intentions.
