Cl Stelick said W Martin was recently appointed to the Plajuiing Board and !:hough he
undersinnds there is no policy with respect to this, it is precedent, setting to appoint one

to serve the token. He supported her appointment to the Planning Board aTid is not against
her, but is reducing 1.he possibility of other individuals holding the. appointed positions_
Thej,e IS another candidate who recenf.l y submitted an application. He would rather fill the

Supv Sumner said she has reviewed the rates charged by the town for sewer and
discovered that there has been no increase in at least ten years. The Town's rate has stayed at
$16.00 per 10,000 gallons. Ten years ago it cost the Town less than $8.00 per 10,000 gallons
and it now costs $18.50 per 10,000 gallons. Supv Sumner recommends an increase to at least
a break -even point. That amounts to about $2.00 per quarter for the average user. She said
the town has been changing the benefit: assessment more frequently than the usage rate, so
district maintenance has been paid for in that way rather by usage fees.
This can be looked at: more closely in January when the board discusses consolidation
of the wager and sever districts. They can discuss a clearer policy about what they are trying
to accomplish xvith both the assessment and usage rates.
