jgrybos@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — The developer of the Front Street project has reached a sticking point with the town board over bonding for the project’s wastewater treatment facility. At issue is whether the developer ’s estimate of $46,000 in bonds will cover the capital needed for installing and operating the wastewater system serving the townhouses and hotels planned for the development. The town’s estimate came in more than five times higher at $258,000. Front Street Developer David Crikelair told town board members during a July 19 meeting their number is inflated. “This is the first time we’ve heard these numbers,” Crikelair said. “That’s relatively unfair, and requires a clear and crisp dialogue” among the developer, the engineer and town attorney.

John Groll, known as Jack, was nominated for the title in a letter to the town board by his fellow firefighters at Indian Lake Fire District #2. Groll takes the fire truck to parades for Memorial Day, fireman’s field day and other county events. He also does a fire house and truck tour for the art center ’s pre-
