Council asks solicitor to remove slip-lining work after sewer collapse; straw poll favors termination agreement
Summary
Councilman Notaro asked the solicitor to prepare a termination agreement removing the slip-lining portion of a sewer contract after Engineer Nassar said a collapsed section had been replaced; Council President Bucci took a straw poll and all members present favored the solicitor drafting an agreement and resolution for the next meeting.
During discussion of sanitary sewer operations, Councilman Notaro asked Solicitor Facenda to review removing the slip-lining portion of a contract, asking whether the council was trying to cancel that agreement. Solicitor Facenda sought clarification on vendor consent and next steps. Engineer Nassar stated that "a part of the system collapsed, it was replaced so there was no need to slip line it." Following that exchange, Council President Bucci took a straw poll and "all members present were in favor of Solicitor Facenda creating an agreement and resolution for the next meeting."
The exchange was recorded as direction to the solicitor rather than a formal motion with a documented roll-call vote. The council asked the solicitor to draft a termination agreement and resolution to be considered at the next meeting; the solicitor confirmed he would prepare the documents if the council was in agreement. No vendor response or final contract termination language was provided at the May 5 work session.
