Marsha Lynch approached the Board about receiving water to her
property . Mr . Richard John explained that he had spoke with Mr .
Thaler regarding this . Mr . Thaler suggested an emergency hook up
until the water district could be finalized . He stated that money
w ould have to be borrowed from the operation and maintenance budget
and then a Bond Anticipation Note would have to be sought to pay
back the 0 & M account . Mr . John stated that he would have to get
some information from the Town Engineer in regard to how much pipe
w ould be needed and the projected cost for it . Mr . Thaler and Mr .
John will prepare the necessary papers within the next few days and
g et back to Ms . Lynch when they are completed . Mr . John felt the
Resolution could probably take place next week .
Dave Herrick , the Town Engineer , reported the following to the
B oard :
1 . The County Planning Board has asked Mr . Herrick if the
Town would like their help in preparing the HUD application for
public utilities . The Town Board was very skeptical about this .
Mrs . Kirby will look into the cost of this service . Mr . Herrick
felt it may be less expensive for the Town to pay the County rather
than to pay an Engineer for clerical work . Mr . Tvaroha asked what
else would be owed besides money ?
2 . Linda VanAppledorn will be the neighborhood chairperson
and will be meeting with Dave Herrick to draft a new neighborhood •
letter stating that the Town is looking into a proposed water
d istrict for the Myers area again . She will also distribute the new
survey form . Mr . Herrick asked if we were legally covered by the
P ublic Hearing that was held in 1992 . Mr . John will look into this
and get back to Mr . Herrick with an answer but he felt that since
it was a new grant cycle that the Town would probably have to have
another Public Hearing .

respond to the engineers reportin regard to the proposed water
district . ( This district would go hand in hand with the Sperry Lane

the people in this district would go from the earlier figure of
® $ 900 . 00 per family , per year to $ 600 . 00 per family if Milliken
Station were included in this district .
