Regrets: Lori Vanderschmidt, Dan Wexman
Co-Chair Emily Beebe called the meeting to order at 6:55 p.m.
Phase 1 Options
The Board studied a set of Phase 1 work options provided by Environmental Partners Group (EPG). There were three possible combinations for Option 1 Main Street connections. Option 2 for storm drain work was set aside. Option 3 includes several small streets in the system. A combination of Option 1 and Option 3 was the most likely choice with a total of $1,127,461.
Warrant Article(s)
The Phase 2 (two loops and replacement of Coles Neck line) and Phase 3 (expansion into South Wellfleet) were considered as Warrant Article(s) for Annual Town Meeting. The Water Commissioners favored going forward with an Article for Phase 2 work for $5,200,000 contingent upon receiving more USDA money. There is the Water Management Act to take into consideration as well.
Budget Planning
Financial Consultant Mark Abrahams had prepared spreadsheets on connection fees. The Water Commissioners discussed his projections for Fiscal Years 2011 to 2014. They reviewed the assumptions that were the basis for the figures, and Jean Schaefer presented another list of ideas to increase income for the Water System. Schaefer will discuss both sets of financial assumptions with Paul Sieloff and Mark Abrahams.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned by consensus at 9:10 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
