Agenda Action Items
The Board reviewed items on the Agenda Action list. Some of the items are ongoing and some called for Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
STM Warrant Articles
BWC discussed Article 2 concerns Boy Scout site preparation for the well. There might be a hand-out available on the night of Special Town Meeting, Emily Beebe said. Carter Fahey from EPG will be at Special Town Meeting to answer questions.
A member of another Board had requested comments on the zoning bylaw Articles 4 & 5 and Articles 6, 7 & 8. The question concerned negative impact on water and wastewater issues, but the Water Commissioners did not deem it germane to the BWC.
Mind Mapping
Steve Gazzano distributed material on mind mapping, goal oriented flow charts. He showed how tasks could be followed up with various charts. He also had a suggestion for producing a newsletter to keep the public informed and educated about developments in the water system.
The Board considered some of the steps needed for preparing for Annual Town Meeting in April and the revised plan which EPG had prepared. This plan requires more consideration.
Review of Regulation Changes
The changes made January 17, 2008 were the last changes made to Rules and Regulations. Other revisions are needed for property transfers and change of use as they are defined relative to connection and as figures into the collection of any debts or liens. Definitions of both property transfers and change of use need to be added. A second regulation is needed for changing the fee schedule.
Minutes of 10/8/08
Gazzano moved to approve the amended minutes of October 8, 2008. Makely seconded and the motion carried 3-0.
Mail
The secretary will reply to letters from Daphne C. Raasch, Ron & Virginia Wilson, and Mary & James Douglas of Wellfleeter Condominiums regarding hook-up to the system.
Other Business
The financial status and communications with Administration on financial matters were discussed. Beebe will contact the Town Administrator regarding both.
Adjournment
Makely moved to adjourn. Beebe seconded, and the meeting was adjourned by consensus at 9:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
