Meeting with the Commissioners was informative.  Many grants available for a number of projects.  Large cities apply but smaller municipalities do not.

Composting:  Need to close the gate.  Price of compost remains at $25.00.  New round of grants and Chris Fritz will mail the paperwork.  Tom Shill will write grants.  Grant round closes in October and no information until March ’07.

Road Turnback monies: PSATS will have to formulate and help with this matter.  Chuck Mead, Bruce Griffis and Dave Darrow to keep us in touch.  Senator Madigan’s office met with local municipalities to discuss the need for more money.  Fewer people are driving so there is less liquid fuel money. 

Representative Sandy Major asks that we oppose the high power line that is to swing into PA but give us no current.  NYC to get it all.
