QUEENSTOWN COMMISSIONERS
September 28,2020 Special Meeting A special meeting was held viaZoom in the Town Office for the purpose of meeting with the Town Engineer and Town Attomey to discuss land easement options for the proposed water tower and water infrastructure.
President Willis called the special meeting to order at3:02 p.m.
Participating were President Tom Willis, Commissioner Al Hardee, Commissioner Bryon Callahan, Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan, Town Engineer Bob Rauch and Town Manager/Clerk Amy Moore.
Bob Rauch stated that the original plan for the tower project called for the tower to be on the Dudley property on Del Rhodes Ave., with force mains run through the SHA properties on Rt. 50.
However, due to those properties being originally purchased by SHA for their own projects, they are not willing to give easements at this time.
As another option, Mr. Rauch is looking at the Friel property off of Rt. 656 for either the tower and mains, or just an easement for the force mains. The tower could also go on the Wheatlands property. The ideal location is putting it on Dudley land with mains through Friel's.
Commissioners need to keep in mind that we already have an allocation commitment to the golf course Waterman's needs would come after that. Commissioners discussed the need to obtain a financial commitment from Barry Waterman before committing to the water tower.
President Willis stated regardless of where the tower goes, he would like to see the town purchase the Dudley parcel that has been discussed, as it could be used for future needs. President Willis motioned to purchase the land from Dudley as was originally proposed. Motion died as there was no second. Commissioners Hardee and Callahan would both like to see where Mr. Waterman stands as far as committing financially to the project before proceeding any further. Ms. Ryan w'ill
get with Mr. Waterman's attorney Joe Stevens to discuss further.
Ms. Moore advised that Steve Roberson provided additional information on the slow start mechanisms for the recycle pumps at the plant. Due to the additional information, and the no response from Lywood Electric, President Willis motioned to have Steve Roberson's electrician install the slow starts. Motion seconded by Commissioner Callahan. Vote: 3-aye 0-nay.
There being no further business, President Willis motioned to adjourn the meeting at 4:57 p.m.
Motion seconded by Commissioner Callahan. Vote: 3-aye,O-nay.
Respectfully lubmitted, Town Manager
