APPROVAL OF MINUTES Special Board of Selectmen Meeting June 5, 2017
FORTUNA/CONKLIN
Motion to approve Special Board of Selectmen Meeting Minutes June 5, 2017.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD
Discuss and act on Resolution authorizing the extension of the Clean Water Fund interim funding obligations for Phase II of the Decentralized Wastewater Management District Program.
The First Selectman commented that the DEEP is re-writing Old Saybrook’s agreement to be consistent with other town’s agreements which could entail dramatic changes like a reserve fund that is equal to the maximum yearly amount the town would owe over the course of the loan. When the Interim Funding Obligation (IFO) turns to a general obligation, the state requires a one twentieth payback as well as amortization of the loan. This resolution would delay by six months, from July 1 to January 1, the commencement of repayment of the loan. It was suggested that the First Selectman contact Attorney Bruce Chudwick to explain more to the Board of Selectmen at a future meeting.
