The lengthy process of contractor procurement , FEMA and MEMA reimbursement , to say the least has and continues to consume a major part of our office staff time since December 2008. The ice storm devastated parts of Sterling as well as its infrastructure. These factors remain the reasons why this annual report has been submitted past the due date. Public education is an area which needs improvement as well as communication between the Sterling DPW, Sterling Conversation Commission and the Deparment Recreation and Conservation regarding inspections and enforcement. I hope you will find this permit substantially complete and if you have any questions please do not hesitatt? to call me. Thank you.
