MINUTES OF TOWN COMMISSION MEETING
PUBLIC HEARING/SPECIAL MEETING
Tuesday, March 25, 1997 2:10 P.M.
Mayor Arlin G. Voress called the Public Hearing/Special Meeting to
order in Commission Chambers at 2:10 P.M., stating its purpose was
to receive public input regarding the proposed 1996 Evaluation and
Appraisal Report pertaining to the Town's Comprehensive Plan.
The Mayor advised that following the Public Hearing, a Special
Meeting would be held to consider formal adoption of the report
(EAR), as well as to hear presentations from the top three ranked
engineering firms regarding the Town's. water/wastewater
requirements.
However, because it was determined that Gee & Jenson Senior Land
Planner, Jim Park, would be late in arriving for the Public
Hearing, it was the consensus to hear the engineering presentations
first. Therefore, the Mayor recessed the Public Hearing without
objection and called the Special Meeting to order.
Town Clerk Doris Trinley called the roll. The Mayor, Vice Mayor
John F, Rand, and Commissioners David Augenstein and Michael W.
Hill were present. Commissioner Thomas J. Reid was absent.
The presentations were given in order of ranking, with
representatives from each firm giving a technical overview of how
the needs and goals of the Town's water/wastewater system could be
achieved and maintained. All answered questions to the
Commission's satisfaction. Order of ranking was as follows:
(3) Eckler Engineering
(2) Hazen & Sawyer
(1) CH2MHILL
Concluding discussion among the Commission after presentations were
completed, MOTION was made by VICE MAYOR RAND/COMMISSIONER
AUGENSTEIN as follows:
THE TOWN COMMISSION APPOINTS CH2MHILL AS THE ENGINEERS FOR THE
TOWN'S WATER/WASTEWATER REQUIRMENTS.
Roll call met with unanimous favorable vote.
It was agreed that when contract terms are available from CH2MHILL,
the Town Manager will transmit same to the Commission for their
review and approval.
Note: Statement of Qualifications for each of these firms can
be found in the 1997 general files.
