He listed the reasons for the delays, the accomplishments to date and his qualifications for completing this project. He felt certain that the improvements to Taaffe Road would be completed by the end of October. The City Manager gave a brief history of this twelve year subdivision. He stated that this project had been going on for an inordinate amount of time and there were other improvements that needed to be completed besides Taaffe Road. He did think, however, that it was possible to complete the improvements in about six weeks. Casey did not necessarily think it was in the best interest of the Town to pull the bond. She thought the delay had actually been a benefit to the Town in that the land had remained open space. Siegel disagreed stating that this final map had been approved a year and a half ago and the lots could be sold. He thought this put the Town in a vulnerable position.
