TownTalk<BR><B>Subject:</B> [RP TownTalk] Update on the Town
Clock<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<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>
