4 million, without increasing taxes. (Tom is trying to get his power point on the subject). Political decision to sewer the entire town(why one part vs. another).They think they can do it through the tax base without much betterments. Tom thinks Mashpee has to think carefully about paying for sewering fairly. Many people cannot afford a betterment; the health of the Bays benefit everyone. Spreading over the whole tax base seems like fairer way to go. Summerwood condos-have a failed septic system. DEP is allowing them to hold off on replacing until the facilities plan is complete; find out where they fit in the plan. Tom said he spoke to Nate Weeks about Geo Flow and he is concerned bout freezing. Don said id was developed and tested in Minnesota! Tom told him to include it in our plan. Tom would also like to take a serious look at vacuum sewers. Matt is concerned, would like to see a track record. Sewer Commission Budget Tom has developed a budget to be submitted: $120 for dues and$100 for travel re-imbursement for members. Capital Improvement Budget: Tom has been putting a"place holder"in for a few years for: -discharge pipe to New Seabury $8.8 million -taking over private plants and on site management: cost unknown. Tom has reserved a room for the third Tuesday of every month for 2007. Earth Tech has submitted a proposal to upgrade the high school treatment plan. Town asked for technical and cost proposals separate. Will review merits of technical before opening the cost. Don visited the high school plant. He found covers for the D-boxes in the fenced in area with no evidence of water stains. They moved all the rubbish out of that area. The surface area is very compacted, reason it is retaining water. Meeting adjourned at 8:55 p.m. Next scheduled meeting Dec. 19, 2006 Minutes submitted by Arden R. Cadrin / /�/� 0� • 1./G=CS �--
