HomeMy WebLinkAboutSpec Mtg. Minutes 5/27/1965The meeting discussed most thoroughly the question of price, that is what
equity the Village has in the plant and in the trunk sewers (Ithaca and
Airport). On the plant there was no disagreement, the equities being
$60,000 in the old plant and $50,000 in the new plant.
On the trunk sewer the Village questioned the price of $90,000 which it
appeared in discussion was considered by the engineers as part of a
package price. The items in the package were on the one side, the Ithaca
trunk line, and the use, over a period of years, of the Airport trunk
line. On the other side the undertaking on behalf of the proposed Sewer
District that the cost of maintaining, adding to and otherwise modifying
the trunk sewer system referred to above within the Village would not fall
upon the Village and also that the.$90,000 would be paid by that part of
the proposed district which is outside the Village and by that part only.
Further discussion brought agreement on the following points:
1. That the cost of trunk sewers outside the Village would be borne by
the individual districts benefited.
2. That there would be an option after the districts had been formed
regarding the method of administration, that is, (a) the District
maintenance force to manage the whole enterprise and bill individual
sewer districts on the basis of cost for maintenance of their collection
system, or (b) the District maintenance force to leave maintenance
of local collection systems to the individual sewer districts. Discus-
sion favored the former.
' 3. The individual sewer districts would carry the cost of financing their
own collection system.
4. In the total sewer district there will be a single unit charge for
treatment of sewage. The basis to be either some such classification
of living units as the Village uses or perhaps water consumption.
