5. At the request of the Vienna Fire Department the Selectmen looked at the Mill Pond and Dam on the Kimball pond Road. The pond is lower than normal for this time of year.

It was agreed to keep an eye on the situation and to revisit the Pond/Dam in the near future to see if the problem has changed.

Due to the instability of the ditches, sand has been washing in to the streams and Flying Pond. (It was determined that rock dams and plunge pools need to be added to the ditches.)
