Stratford selectboard considers software update and $80 water-and-sewer application fee
Summary
A town staff member reported work with vendor Avitar to update billing software for new water and sewer ordinances and proposed cutting the listed $160 application fee to $80; a motion to approve the change was made and seconded but the transcript does not record a vote tally.
Clayton Macdonald, a town staff member, told the Stratford Selectboard on Oct. 6 that he has been working with vendor Avitar to update the town's billing software so it conforms with newly adopted water and sewer ordinances. He said the ordinances include a $160 application fee and proposed lowering that fee to $80 per application.
The board discussed the software update and the fee change. Selectman Harry Juergens moved to approve the proposed change and Selectman Ron Scott Jr. seconded the motion. The meeting transcript records the motion and second but does not include a vote tally or further instructions for implementation.
The proposed reduction would cut the application cost listed in the ordinances in half; Clayton said the software update is intended to support processing under the ordinances. The transcript does not provide a schedule, an effective date for any fee change, or details about how the software update will be funded or rolled out.
The board did not record specific follow-up dates in the minutes excerpted in the transcript. The item remains on the board's record pending any recorded vote or administrative follow-up.
