This will help control the flow of storm water that comes out of Raybuck Lake, which eventually flows into Canterbury Creek. Mr. Bury will pay for the cost of construction of the pond. Gary Diorio of MS Consultants will do the study required and obtain all of the costs. Mr. Diorio stated that the study will take two weeks and construction approximately three weeks.

Mr. Bury will contact David Shepard, Attorney for Poland Township, to formulate an agreement with the Township so that this project can proceed.

Jim Stewart, member of the Western Reserve Fire Department, discussed the tie-in of the construction of sidewalks on Route 170 with the construction of the sidewalk in front of the newly expanded Fire Station on Route 170. Gary Diorio of MS Consultants stated that it would be easier and uniform if the Fire Department’s contractor does the grading in front of the Fire Station and the concrete work is provided by the contractor doing all of the sidewalks. Mr. Diorio said the Fire Department would compensate the Township for the cost of the sidewalk.
