Town Commissioners — 2016-01-27

This record is the Town of Queenstown Commissioners meeting and public hearing on January 27, 2016. CPA Rick Tull reviewed the fiscal year ending 6/30/15 financial audit and resident John Foster raised questions about keeping the debt service fund separate and not using depreciation as a slush fund. The Commission held a public hearing and then adopted Ordinance #15-04 to require out-of-town water and sewer users to pay the same volumetric rate as in-town users. Town Attorney Brynja Booth reported MCET can perform an updated rate study for $5,600 and that USDA grant funding may be available for the sewer portion; the Commission entered a closed session to discuss contract issues (including a small cell tower contract). Public Works reported successful snow removal and that the wastewater treatment plant is operating smoothly; the clerk reported fund balances for General ($253,152.07), Water/Sewer ($367,615.40) and WWTP ($127,707.01).
