Regular Meeting Minutes September 11, 2017
Supervisor informed that given a re -organizational meeting this coming January that the town
will go out for RFP for the professionals.
2. Motion To: Waive Fee as a result of a Water meter/Billing issue
COMMENTS - Current Meeting:
Supervisor Jiava explained that due to faulty radio reads from an improper installation, a
gentleman in the water district who always had a low bill received a much larger bill once the
radio system was put in. She said, "The bill was three quarters, I believe, and the total was
approximately $200." Councilman Ciccarelli asked what the difference in the average billing
that he had prior and that should be waived. Supervisor Jiava said that it is on the paperwork that
she handed out to the board identifying the radio reads. Councilman Kuzmicz asked if we could
get a definitive answer on this. Supervisor Jiava said that they really cannot get that definitive an
answer, but the meter was receded. Councilman Beale moved to waive a fee. The board agreed.
The resident's name was not mentioned.

4. Conservation Park Districts
Al Roberts explained that there are 3 conservation park districts in the town. He suggested
funding the park district by the people who own the park to pay for maintenance versus having
the general overall town's tax people pay for it, who have been paying for it by default. He noted
that Fieldstone is 700 parcels. The discussion continued at length regarding many other parks
and districts that are restricted and unrestricted. Councilman Beale suggested discussing it at a
future meeting.
