Tower Paint
Lori Vanderschmidt made a presentation on the desirability for a design project and for the time table if we decide to move ahead. It was agreed that the planning committee would not be allowed to submit designs for the project. The group thought that $50,000 a lot to spend for the design project.
At the request of Steve Gazzano, Jack Gould made a short presentation on the desirability of having advertising logos on the stem of the water tower. The logos would be chosen by local organizations giving grants for the water tower design. BWC would solicit grants.
The group asked Lori to schedule a conference call with Mr. Knight of CB&I to discuss costs of painted designs on water towers in the CB&I brochure and to discuss specifications required for a painted design. The conference call will occur July 20, at 7:00PM.

A monthly report is required and availability of a worker on site four hours a day 365 days per year. These are the changes for the RFP.
Connection Fees:
Jean and Dan’s document re the connection fees was discussed. The question of the Title 5 flow formula for deciding on the connection fees for single houses was discussed as the most rational way of determining fees. Rules will be uniformly applied to all applicants.
The definition of a single residence is: ‘A residence on a single parcel where one kitchen exists. A kitchen is a room with a working stove for preparing food.’ Dan agreed to send an email to BWC with wording for a proposed motion for connection fees concerning additional property types. A possible ‘break’ for large multi-family properties was discussed.
