If improvements or additions are made to the building then a reevaluation will be warranted. Gates Cole will also not receive back taxes.

• Biddy basketball is going well

Health Center:
• Supervisor Garretson and Maureen Kuhn, FNP at the Health Center had a meeting recently with Frank Partenza, Frank Panzerella, Steve Hennigan, Mark Horton and Joe Sellers to see if Bassett can help with the Health Center operations with regards to billing and capturing revenue. They all agree they want to keep the Cherry Valley Health center as the Cherry Valley Health Center.
