Miacomet Golf Course — Tee Box Additions Update: Mr. Perry presented aerial maps of the golf course, marking where the proposed new tee boxes would be built, the area that would be disturbed and the endangered plants.

West Miacomet Road — Fire Hydrant/Emergency Turnaround Update: Mr. Perry completed a plant survey of the proposed emergency vehicle turnaround area and found endangered plants within the 60 foot radius.

Cisco Bike Path Extension — Planning Update: Mr. Perry presented aerials marking the endangered plants along the route and his proposed placement of the bike path that would avoid disturbing the plants.
