Meeting notes from the previous two meetings 4/6 and 5/4

A resident off of Van Eden road needed to know how to go about getting their private road renamed instead of being part of Van Eden. There are now multiple residents down the private road that it would be more convenient and for safety concerns.

We are looking to impose a fine for dumping materials that we do not accept at our our convenience center.

A resident came to state concerns about tractor trailers that were overweight and other vehicles coming around the s-curve where Anderson and Mary Slocum meet. Concerns for safety due to tractor trailers running other vehicles off the road and damaging the road itself. Please note that this is a state road and the town of Watha can only call the state for these concerns. We the town do not have the ability to maintain or restrict vehicles on the road. Please call the state directly with your concerns. The more eyes and ears that we have on the issue will bring attention to addressing the problem quicker. Thank you.
