reported that he has been contacted by a contractor out of Birmingham, AL who

Water/Sewer
Extension:
Andy reported that the water main has been extended to the point where two fire
hydrants have been set. Mayor Bowman reported that our contractor cut a fiber
optic line owned by Boycom. He was expecting them to pursue compensation for
the damage. The Board did not feel they should be held responsible when Boycom
has no easement for their line; they are not a member of Missouri One Call and,
when Andy gave them a courtesy call, they did not mark the area where the cut
was made.
