NEW BUSINESS:

A. Jim Atwood 12-238/239 – Sewer tap billing:

Member is asking board to reconsider the additional $3100 charge to his property for the second sewer tap installed on a lot he has replatted. Board had sent a letter in February inform Mr. Atwood that the $3100 is payable because the tap was installed prior to the completion of the replat. Mr. Atwood claims that the previous Mgr. had agreed not to install the tap if the lots were replatted. Mr. Atwood also informed the board that he has discovered that the second tap is actually on the same lot as the first tap. The board has asked the manager and staff to visit the property to inspect the tap locations. An audience member (Keith Weeks) reminded the board that the SIA must be involved and are responsible for waiving any fees on this system. Board decided to table the issue until a site inspection is completed and the SIA committee can meet to discuss and decide on whether or not to waive the second tap fee.

PUBLIC INPUT: Public Input – None (except for Keith Weeks comments noted above)

Adjourned at 6:45 (Joint Executive Session will be held at end of R&R meeting)

The Water & Sewer Board turned the floor over to the Road & Recreation Board.
