MINUTES of a Special Meeting of the Board of Trustees held Friday, July 13, 1973
at 4:00 P.M. in the Village Hall.
PRESENT: Mayor F. G. Marcham; Trustees Verne A. Fogg, Claire C. Nulls, Robert L.
VonBerg; Treasurer Gordon B. Wheeler; Engineer John B. Rogers; Attorney Roger B.
Sovocool.
The Mayor reported that he had distributed records and comments relating to the
Bolton Point Water Program as they had come to him. He had met with Trustee
Randolph to discuss a possible alternative approach to the problem of "benefit"
as it relates to the other municipalities and the Village. Trustee Randolph
had said that he was prepared to accept the solution of the problem proposed
by the Treasurer, provided that there was assurance of use of a hookup charge.
Trustee Randolph told the Mayor that Trustee Philbrick had many of the same
misgivings about "benefit ", that he himself had had. Trustee Randolph said
he could not attend the present meeting.
The Board discussed at length the questions relating to the financial aspects
of the program as they related to the Village. On a question relating to the
legitimacy of the hookup charge the Attorney agreed to inquire further. The
Treasurer agreed to discuss with Supervisor Schwan the figures regarding the
obligations of the Village that the Treasurer had presented and the Supervisor
had orally agreed to. The Attorney agreed to discuss with other attorneys who
are involved in such modifications of the intermunicipal agreement as appear
necessary in the light of recent discussions.'
• The Mayor reminded members of the Board that Trustee Philbrick had said that in
his judgement the contingency figure attached to the program of 8% was insufficient.
He thought that there would be an 18 or 20% increase over the 1972 cost price to
take account of inflation. Treasurer Wheeler commented that his own experience
showed that contractors were short of work. He thought the price schedule
suggested by Lozier was reasonable.
