New Reservoir

Willis presented a written statement that mentioned his meeting with Gen. Berry, his wife, Ann Berry, Col. Nels Parson and Critzer at the new reservoir site where they discussed purchasing the land for the town.

“In all we do now, it is essential that the town restore and maintain its credibility in Gen. Berry’s vie,” said Willis. “Any proposal must include a solid commitment by the town and must be directed at maintaining the environment and integrity of the Berry’s property to the greatest extent possible... providing future security to the area from unwanted intrusion.”

In executive session, the board discussed making a proposal to Berry, but took no action.
