be more careful.

persons in the audience, or a map on the TV monitor to show specific sites.

federal flood insurance program would have lower premiums. He stated that this
is due to recent improvements and work by the Engineering Division.

and condemn any right-of-way that was required for the street improvement.
Mr. Dixon stated that staff would prepare strip maps of the road showing necessary
acquisition, and give the Village Board a report.
