2020 Freshet Flood Season Summary
The Board received a report on TNRD’s flood response during the spring and summer of 2020.

The report included a breakdown of the TNRD’s response efforts and areas identified for further discussion and improvement.

The Board authorized the Chair and Corporate Officer to execute a contribution agreement with the Savona Community Association for the operation and maintenance of the Savona Community Park, which includes the picnic area, playground, ancillary buildings, beach, boat launch and dock.
