Update – Interceptor Sewer Project –

Mr. Faberbock distributed a progress report of activity from December 21st through January 17th. Due to the weather (rain and cold) not much progress has taken place as such conditions create a muddy, slippery work area. He stated that he still expects the pipe to be in by March 1st.

Update – LS #3 –

Mr. Faberbock stated that K & S Testing took the soil borings so they can estimate the cost of putting in sewer lines between LS #3 and LS #1. Another alternative would be to eliminate LS #3 and running a graph of lines to LS #1. The soil borings would enable them to see if it would be feasible and estimate what the cost would be. A second option would be to revamp LS #3 and LS #1 so they could join the interceptor sewer. He stated that the soil borings were received in his office on Thursday, which does not allow enough time to complete a full cost estimate for this meeting; hopefully it would be completed and addressed at the Study Session on February 7th.

Mr. Pharazyn stated that one meter was installed for the Meyers development and they were charged $18,000 for both the North and South sides of this development.

Mr. Pharazyn stated that the owner of the building split off and sub-metered the tenants and he will contact Denny Meyers to advise the coffee shop owner that no action needs to be taken in regard to these charges.

Mr. Pharazyn stated that he noticed the capacity charge for the coffee shop is over $4,000.00 while the entire building was approximately $8,000.00. He expressed his concern about the potential of lost revenue due to installing only one meter and having the owner sub-meter to the tenants. However, there is also concern regarding the problems that would arise when units expand and have two meters, etc. He stated that he would observe these situations and follow up with recommendations if necessary. Discussion ensued regarding the south plaza and the high water consumption of Livio’s. Mr. Monanteras suggested that Bob continue to monitor this situation for one month and then look at the average of these three months.

T-Mobile – Abatement Rent Request –

Mr. Wyllie stated that due to T-Mobile’s lack of response to remove their equipment from the water tower, the town went to court and received an injunction to have a restraining order issued against T-Mobile whereby they would remove their equipment immediately. T-Mobile’s response was that since they did not create the reason for the removal they should not have to pay for it. T-Mobile wanted over $90,000 for loss of use; negotiations resulted in the town and T-Mobile splitting the cost of the removal with each party paying half, approximately $48,500 through rent abatement. The project is now going forward. Mr. Wyllie further stated that the contract with T-Mobile stated that the town would not paint the tower for five years, the contract did not cover the circumstances created by a water pressure problem and since neither party was at fault, the cost was split equally.
