Mr. John read the letters to the Board. It was the consensus of the Town Board to direct Rich John to send the letters. Mr. Herrick discussed the as- constructed survey for the Bolton Road main and the permanent easements. The owners have asked T.G. Millers to get the as constructed documents done and the easement maps and hire Rich John to do the description in order for the project to be completed and dedicated to the Town. Bolton Point has had requests for service and in one case it was granted. Mr. Herrick advised Bolton Point that there is no ownership by the Town. Mr. Tvaroha stated that if anything major happened to the line the homeowners would still be liable until the Town has ownership. One of the residents in the district has contacted Rich John. The resident is trying to sell their home and one of the conditions of the sale is to have road access and a waterline. The resident would like to have Mr. John prepare the easements. This has been done in other water districts within the Town. Mr. John wanted to inform the Board of this. There would be a charge back to the residents within the district. Mr. Herrick stated that it was in the Town's best interest to have it done that way in order to get the proper easements and documentation.
