Public Announcement/Guests:
•Howard Price addressed the board about the Village ordinance on sewer line maintenance. He did not believe the homeowners should be responsible for the costs and repairs to the lines running under the roadway. Chapter 39 of our utility code states that the property owner shall be responsible for costs and maintenance of the sewer lines to the main. Several other towns ordinances were checked and they read the same. Mayor Marlow stated that the village would assist in hauling debris but could not assist With the cost or repair. The board discussed that if the ordinance was changed so that the Village did maintain these lines that tap fee would have to be raised accordingly.
