J. Discussion Item: An Ordinance for Water Pollution Control Authority
Wagner - several issues here, the Authority has been talkking about providing discounts on fees for people in low income. When they spoke to attorney he told them they needed to come to Town Council. The Town Attorney ordinance did not address what the WPCA is trying to do. The one that came was assessments- defer payment of the assessment for people who are not able to pay. Still waiting. The second thing that has occurred is that ther is a 6 year term for members. They set the fees and they determine their own budget. Discussion of reducing the terms. In addition we were considering increasing the number of members. would like to increase to 8 members. Anwar - in the last meeting we started the conversation about WPCA giving breaks to people who have finanical difficulties. The Town Council will need a final draft before this item is brought to public hearing. Galligan - WPCA can not do tht program to reduce costs, she is suggesting that Town Council budget for that and then have Human Services run the program to give assistance. She is researching ways for the Council to be able to get fees back when house sold. Do not think because WPCA is land use you may not be able to have even number of members. Will verify with the Town Attorney. Aries - only got a chance to review the ordinances today. to be honest sending the message out got many members concerned about the term. Members feel the term should be longer then 2 years. One greatest aspects of WPCA is that we have never had to focus on partisan lines. There is not a big argument against adding another member but it is not necessary. I think we can work around some of the items that may come up regarding giving low income household a break. one item missed - additional language annual reports given to TC and audit - these things ae alrady provided to the TC. we are changing our accounting system which will make it easier to understand. You are requsting the WPCA to pay for the audit. Anwar - your intentions - committee different then what th eterminology is here. How do you feel about 2-3 year term? Aries - 2 years is not enough. we need to keep these folks for more then 2 years. Wagner - the CGS deals wit the assessment, not the annual fee and the assessment is smething that is charged once when adding the sewer connection. It is really saying have a capital improvement to your house. it is not the same thing as an annual fee - Aries - I do have this ordinance and it has a few pages on it. 90-37 and then ther ereally isn't anything else. There is a an a and b subsection. in that language that word may I have a question about - do we have authority to revert back to the sliding scale Wagner - think the intent was to give you the authority to do this but not require you do to this. Aries - by the time a house is sold people find themselves having the need to use funds towards medical. Wagne r- assessment is a one time charge - the fees go on forever. Aries - the other aspect is the assessment is a rare item. Anwar - the conversation is to find out way to people who can not pay for their sewer Snyder - What is compelling the TC to take over WPCA, pricing structure for those who can not afford the fee? Wagner - there is language in the statute that rquires an ordinance to give WPCA permission. That is subject to interpretation. They received a legal opinion and an ordinance is necessary. Snyder - very adament againt two year term for WPCA. Take time to learn things. WPCA stays for a long time and devotes themselves. A minimum of 4 years is find. Finding committee members is not always easy. Are we looking to oversee their budget and their spending. Wagner - we don't have the authority to oversee - only over terms do we have any authority. Snyder - they enjoy what they are doing. concerned about putting fingers in the WPCA pot. if they need an ordinance to change their fee structure that is find. do not want ot over govern them. do not want ot overstep our bounds. Anwar - that is what we are talking about. if we want to help community members - the Town Council has to work with WPCA. Snyder - why are we in these other areas. Anwar - Snyder - if we need to provide ordinandce for fee structure - Human Services would run program - where would the funds come from when people can't pay. Anwar - trying to see how some of the reserve funds could be looked at. Havens - we are looking to take over WPCA work. The two year term is not practical. The four year temr would be more workable. The cost is the only conmplaint we get regarding WPCA. Aries - thanked the Town Council. Anwar - four year terms - Town Attorney will work on this and will send then to WPCA fo review.
