Meeting Minutes

May 12, 2014

Meeting opened by President Mike Benjamin at 4 PM

Board Members present :  Gabel, Drinkard, Darnell

Visitors: Neil Tucker, Frank Cafferty

Discussion re:  DEQ status of planning grant. Stephen stated that he thought we would have correspondence from them around the middle of May. Neil agreed to act as a consultant to the Engineering firm we select because of his intimate knowledge of the system. This will save a lot of time for the engineer.

Discussion Re:  Czap yard repair. Even though the only access to our line was through his yard because he built a concrete wall over the Easement, which blocks us and Dover from service access to our lines, The Board reluctantly decided to have his chosen Landscaper do the repair work. Fred is to consult with Dover, along with Frank and Mike, to determine how best to resolve the Easement access problem.  The only choice we have now is to cut off his water service outside his wall if there seems to be a problem with the line. Neil was instructed to do this if need be.

Frank was asked to return the service agreement to the Landscaper with a $500.00 check so they can schedule repairing the lawn. The additional $475.00 to be paid upon satisfactory completion of the work.

Frank will be available to join us at Dover Public Works after June 6th. After that discussion, Fred to send Czap a letter regarding his blockage of the Easement.
