Select Board authorizes inspection of Stony Brook pump station; $237 per‑home betterment cited
Summary
Town staff proposed immediate town ownership of the Stony Brook pump station and a $237 per‑home betterment to cover maintenance; the Select Board authorized Town Manager Jon Frederick to instruct Tony to conduct a full inspection and correct deficiencies before transfer.
At the April 22 Select Board meeting, town staff reported that Tony (identified in the minutes by first name) recommended the town take immediate ownership of the Stony Brook pump station to ensure proper upkeep and maintenance rather than waiting until more homes are completed. Staff stated a betterment of $237 per home would cover the shortfall in funds to maintain the pump station without affecting all users.
The Select Board expressed consensus to allow the Town Manager, Jon Frederick, to authorize Tony to perform a full inspection of the pump station and have identified deficiencies rectified before the town assumes ownership. The minutes do not record a formal vote or a timeline for the ownership transfer; they record that the Select Board gave the Town Manager authority to instruct Tony to proceed with the inspection.
