The council approved with biennial progress reports to renew permission while other town issues were discussed including safety at properties on Pennsylvania Avenue and a planned property maintenance ordinance. The Page Valley Community Tennis Association seeks members and donations for its 2011 program serving town courts and Page County high school students. The council approved sewer plant repairs totaling 4,332 dollars and 2,500 dollars for a toxic output meter. The town notes DEQ does not currently demand further upgrades. Available properties for sale or lease in the historic district are listed via call to Juanita Roubadubush.
