Mr. Fortuna noted that the contract agreement with MGC for the Miniature Golf Course has been reviewed by Town Council.  Selectman Gernhardt inquired to the condition of the bulkhead and will there be a buffer from the water. Mr. Fortuna stated that town engineer determined the bulkhead to be in good condition.  Also, the closest part to the river is a putting green and picnic area.  More resistant materials being used for the course in which drainage is promoted.
