Town Commissioners — 2020-01-22

This is the Queenstown Town Commissioners meeting of January 22, 2020. The Commissioners hired consultant George Frigon to troubleshoot ongoing problems at the wastewater treatment plant and said they will prepare for possibly hiring a new employee or company to operate the plant. The Planning Commission decided not to allow an electronic message sign at Queenstown Bank; the Finance Committee recommended rejecting Landmark’s offer to buy the town’s cell‑site lease revenue (because the lump‑sum discount would likely reduce long‑term revenue); and the Commissioners agreed to further review water/sewer hookup and impact fees. The Treasurer reported checking balances (General Fund $169,069.99; Water/Sewer Fund $124,697.65), appointed Christopher Drummond as a Board of Appeals alternate, approved a $250 donation to the Animal Welfare League, and discussed traffic concerns at Greenspring Rd. & Rt. 301 and continuing a three‑concert 2020 Summer Concert Series with a $2,000 cap on band costs. Attorney updates addressed options to control access at the Skipjack Lane boat landing (signage or gated access) noting use cannot be limited only to Town residents.
