?rivilege Supervisor Pierce allowed the privilege of the floor for a
:'loor Bell open discussion regarding installing sewers on Bell Drive to the
)r, residentTay residents of Bell Drive.
Because it is planned by the Town to install water lines in
that area in the near future, the residents of that area would
like sewers installed at the same time to prevent the area being
under construction twice. Many also expressed concern that many
homes in that area may have to have new septic systems installed
soon and they didn't want the cost duplicated.
Agreement was expressed by Town Board members that it
should be done, however, there is also concern that other areas
of the Town have the same problem.
A Master Plan made several years ago, is the guideline the
Town has attempted to follow for new projects. Lamont Circle is
located directly over the Town aquifer and that area has not been
sewered yet, and there are others. Expansion is occurring and
important decisions must be made.
Cost factors to both the Town and Residents were discussed.
Benefit Tax and bonding was discussed, among many things.

Attorney Rumsey explained the time table necessary to
complete a project like this. He will prepare an Order for the
Town Bd. to review at their next. meeting. If approved, they
would need to schedule a date for a Public Hearing. After that
it is still necessary to follow up with the bonding process, and
the bidding process.
' Engineerr, Hayne Smith, estimated that it could be no sooner
than March or April of next year for this to be accomplished.
A short break occurred to allow the residents from Bell
Drive to leave if they desired.
Engineer, Hayne Smith apprised the Town Board of information
he had received regarding a new water tank for the Town. He had
provided information previously regarding a glass coated,
Harvestore type water tank. Since, he has received information
regarding a 1 million gallon tank, concrete construction, and it
would require no maintenance. It has a life span of 100 years,
compared to 40 years. He estimated a cost factor of $600°00.
A discussion followed whereby it was the consensus of the
Town Board that the larger concrete tank would be more feasible
and would also meet the needs of the Town for the future.
The cost of the project would require approval from the
State. It will be necessary to follow the same process as the
Lime Hollow Well Project
