Council directs staff to develop wastewater sustainability plan, schedules budget workshop
Summary
Council members said they will prepare a wastewater fiscal sustainability plan and rate adjustments and scheduled a budget workshop to update the town budget system; transcript contains inconsistent workshop dates (Feb. 16 and Feb. 15) that staff should confirm.
Council members raised the wastewater funds fiscal strain and instructed staff to prepare a sustainability plan and proposed rate adjustments.
Council member Mark Lockwood was assigned to work with Maintenance Director M. Rice to evaluate the wastewater system, estimate capital needs, and incorporate expected costs into updated utility bills. Tess (T.) Maxwell proposed holding a budget workshop in mid-February to incorporate changes into Springbrook and prepare a budget amendment; the minutes record a Feb. 16, 6:00 p.m. proposed workshop in one passage and a Feb. 15, 6:00 p.m. reference in another. The transcript does not resolve that discrepancy; staff were directed to schedule and publicize the workshop date.
Minutes note the town received an extension on one of the loans that had required a sustainability plan, and council members emphasized the plan should be completed as soon as possible to support loan submissions and public discussion of any rate increases.
