The proposed rate increases were discussed. That increase would be borne entirely by those people in the sewer district, currently 154 units. The immediate price hike was attributed to an underestimation of the costs for the previous years of the contract. Colucci suggested that the town have their lawyer look into it before any contracts are implemented. He said that there needed to be clarification as to whether or not the work is a professional service or contractual maintenance.
Contractual maintenance needs to go out to bid.
We just need to make sure we are doing this correctly. Colucci requested that they look at opening the station at least part of Sunday. I get a lot of calls about this. For the station to open Sunday, a third container would have to be brought in, requiring an additional cement slab. The cost of the slab was informally estimated at three or four hundred dollars.
