1971.02.23_TC_Minutes_WorkshopMINUTES• WORKSHOP MEETING OF THE TOWN COMMISSION - February 23, 1971
• A workshop meeting followed the special meeting which adjourned at 8:15 P. M.
Tuesday, Feb. 23, 1971. All Commissioners attended.
A question has been raised for annual fees to be collected for fire pro-
tection on unmetered water lines to buildings. Further study will be
conducted.
A question has arisen regarding interest to be paid on the 2 month sewer
deposit the Town is now collecting. Inasmuch as several other utility
companies do not pay interest on deposits, the concensus was that the
interest earned might go into a maintainence fund that could lower the
monthly charge for sewers or at least hopefully insure that the present
charge would. not be raised.
Mayor Horton read a letter received from Rayrr»nd Mondry, Chairman of
the Palm Beach County Legislative Delegation advising all municipalities
that all local legislation is to be handled as far as possible by the
municipalities thamselves. The Mayor stated that the four Charter changes
will lie dormant until the next election, when they can be put on the
ballot if the Commission desires.
The Mayor read from Russell & Axon correspondence requiring additional
sewage treatment enacted by the 1970 Legislature of at least secondary
treatment to ocean o~tfall discharges by January 3, 1974. The Town
Attorney is working on this with Delray Beach, whom we have a sewer
• contract with and any proposed amendment will be submitted for Com-
mission approval.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 P. M.
