Commissioners move to single-unit billing for 22 Silver Street, then abate prior two-unit charges
Summary
After a resident disputed two-unit billing at 22 Silver Street, commissioners first voted to bill the property as a single unit going forward with limited back-billing; they then voted unanimously to abate prior two-family charges and confirm single-unit billing.
The Gunstock Acres Village Water District commissioners moved to treat 22 Silver Street as a single-family service address after an owner said an in-house apartment was not in use. Lou Combe moved to bill the property as a single unit with a back-billing provision up to the legal limit (noted in the meeting as three years); Joe Geraci seconded and the motion passed with four commissioners in favor and Rich Haidul abstaining.
Later in the meeting, Commissioner Rich Haidul moved and Joe Geraci seconded a motion to formally abate the two-family charges and change the account to single-family billing. That reaffirmation — described in the minutes as a re-affirmation of a previous vote that included an abatement — passed unanimously. The board recorded the vote outcomes in the minutes and instructed staff to update the district's records and notify the town regarding billing adjustments.
