BOA tomorrow night

The regularly scheduled monthly Board of Alderman meeting is at 7PM tomorrow night at City Hall. I tried to get the link for the agenda, no go. If I can get it to link I will paste later.

One item on the agenda for sure will be a discussion of water and sewer rates. If you are not on Mary's email list, she mentions in a Saturday email that she along with Vic are examining sewer rates based on water usage rather than the current flat rate. This has been reviewed and discussed many times over the past years, apparently something or somebody is prompting yet another discussion. Should be interesting.

In that regard, Jim Challis, our consulting City Engineer, and a representative of the company that did our sewer survey will make presentations.

The Entrance committee (not to be confused with the Exit committee) will be presenting a draft of their Charter. You might recall this is the committee of 19 or more citizens advising the BOA on entrance monuments to the City.

The seawall work on the recently purchased Crawford property on K Cove began today. The seawall from the WLIC dock south is being removed and replaced by a "big block" seawall, just like O Cove. The original estimate of $15,000 for the job could double as a result of closer inspection of the seawall which revealed problems that make the fix more difficult. When finished the new area could increase the number of boats on K Cove by 17.

Where is this you might ask? Just go down Wayland Circle, all the way to the end. If you drive over there to see it take note of the condition of Wayland Circle, especially in the turn-around area. The road condition and drainage/erosion problems will need to be addressed sooner or later, and it won't be cheap. But then what is?
