Council considers using cell-tower revenue or LIT to fund MS4 coordinator
Summary
With official MS4 designation, the board discussed creating an MS4 fund and using local income tax or a portion of the cell-tower revenue (reported at about $19,000/year) to pay for an MS4 coordinator; options include a stipend for an existing staff member or a separate position.
Chair reported that now that the town is MS4-designated, officials are considering creating an MS4 fund and funding a coordinator to manage reporting and inspections. Chair said the town could use a portion of local income tax (LIT) or designate a percentage of cell-tower revenue; the Chair said, "The tower brings in 19,000. A year? A year." and discussed whether a stipend for an existing staff member or a designated coordinator position is preferable.
Members agreed there will need to be public discussion about funding sources and that the town should create an MS4 fund with budget line items to track revenues and expenses. The Chair said staff would draft a proposal and share it with council members for review prior to any formal action.
