<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> The Town Clock continues to find its own time.</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> Even the manufacturer rep could not set it.</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> A repair order is grinding its way thru the system, </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> and is currently waiting on price quotes.</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> We are investigating upgrading the clock so that it will automatically</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> sync to a GPS time source, and repairing its battery back up</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> and relocating the electronics (they are currently located in a</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> limited access building that is for sale). We have no prices yet.</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> We have to get prices and proposals and vote on it etc etc.</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> This will take time - especially with public works short handed. </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> The clock may have to be sent back to the manufacturer (Verdin) </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> for repairs. If this happens and if the Town wants upgrades, the </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> upgrades could be done at that time.</FONT></div>
