From the minutes
“Ms. Mohr moved to amend the sewer fee waiver policy as presented in the Board’s agenda materials, subject to final approval by Town Counsel; seconded by Ms. Murphy. Mr. Fee expressed concern about amending the policy, in such a specific manner, written for a particular situation. Mr. Gray said that Mr. Fee recently asked about costs to upgrade the Naushop pump station, necessary in order to serve the Richmond development and noted the project went out to bid and the low bid is approximately $2,000,000 which is significantly higher than earlier estimates. Ms. Mohr said that the project requires certain contributions in order to be built. So voted Chair Bridges – Yes; Mr. Fee – No; Ms. Mohr – Yes; Ms. Murphy – Yes. 3.” (Motion: Mohr, second: Murphy)

Approve the full request
Approve the full request
Yes: Bridges, Mohr, MurphyNo: Fee
From the minutes
“Ms. Mohr moved approval of the full request; seconded by Ms. Murphy. Ms. Murphy commented that she understands what Mr. Turbitt was saying and would be perhaps more comfortable with a waiver of more than 50% but less than a full waiver. Ms. Mohr suggested a percentage, and that there be a 75% reduction in the fees that led to the $474,925 number which covers Phases II, III, IV, V, VI for Meadows II Apartments; so moved by Ms. Mohr; seconded by Ms. Murphy. Some discussion followed. Mr. Fee expressed discomfort at how the waiver is being handled. Ms. Murphy said that going forward more financial analysis would be helpful. Mr. Fee spoke further on his concern. So voted Chair Bridges – Yes; Mr. Fee – No; Ms. Mohr – Yes; Ms. Murphy – Yes. 4.” (Motion: Mohr, second: Murphy)
