Call to
Order
Mr. Sinaiko called the meeting to order at
Assessment of Phase 2
Pre-Construction Betterments
In conjunction with the impending
commencement of construction for Phase 2 of the sewer, Mr. Faris presented to
the Board John Finnegan, who will be Metcalf & Eddy’s resident engineer for
the project. Mr. Sinaiko then moved, seconded
by Mr. Richter, to order that estimated pre-construction betterments be
assessed on those properties that will receive a sewer connection as part of
Phase 2. The motion carried by a vote of
4-0.
Scheduling of Public Hearing –
Amendment to Sewer Regulations
Ms. Evans advised the Board that certified
letters had gone out to all food service license holders requiring them to
attend one of two classes on grease management regulations. Ms. Evans also explained that the Licensing
Board had changed its regulations to require proof of compliance with grease
regulations prior to receiving license renewal in 2008. Because there are new vendors that offer
better and less expensive solutions to grease management, it would be desirable
to amend the sewer regulations to allow the Board to approve new grease
monitoring equipment. Therefore, Mr.
Sinaiko moved, seconded by Mr. Richer, to schedule a public hearing on May 31
for the purpose of amending the sewer regulations to allow such alternate
technologies to be used. The motion
carried by a vote of 4-0.
Scheduling of Public Hearing –
Change in Sewer Connection Surcharge Rate
Mr. Sinaiko moved, seconded by Ms. Meads, to
schedule a public hearing for May 31 to consider increasing the sewer
connection surcharge rate for those red dot delay properties from Phase 1. The motion carried by a vote of 4-0.
