TOWN MANAGER'S AGENDA REPORT NOVEMBER

TOWN MANAGER'S AGENDA REPORT
Tuesday, November 16, 2010
Report Dated Friday, November 12, 2010
Agenda Item #8 Unfinished Business
a. Cove Project Update
Please see Enclosure /41. We have at long last received a "FONSI" from the COE. FONSI stands for Finding of No Significant Impact, and it means that the permitting phase for the Cove Project has been completed.
b. Cemetery Maintenance Bids
The deadline for receiving bids is at 5:00 p.m. this afternoon. So far, we have received one bid on the concrete work and one on the roof work.
c. Grace Stone Estates Request
Gregg Gordon and Mike Lyon have requested that Council consider waiving the out-of-town premium charged on connection and facility fees for Grace Stone Estates due to the delay in securing the boundary adjustment. They feel these fees are unfair to their customers because they are in favor of the boundary adjustment and should therefore, not have to pay the additional out-of-town fees. My recommendation is that instead of making an exception to the Town's established fee structure, Council should encourage Gregg and Mike to take action to initiate a voluntary boundary adjustment for their development. There is no longer an advantage to delay this action if Council has determined to move forward with filing for the boundary adjustment with the Commission on Local Government (COLG). We had previously tried to work with the County's arbitrary 75% threshold policy, but since that has no bearing on the COLG, there is no reason to delay action on incorporating this property.
Agenda Item #9: New Business
a. Annexation
Council has previously adopted a resolution pertaining to annexation proceedings. Please see Enclosure #3. As a matter of record, Council may reiterate their position with a motion to proceed with filing with the COLG.
b. Budget Amendment Please see Treasurer's Report.
