The Council approved the following bylaw changes all via roll call by 9-0 votes
● Bylaw Amendment 24-914 will amend the town code relative to fees. The updates reflect increases, decreases, additions, deletions or corrections to existing fees due to changes in state law or state code, changes in market conditions for municipal fees and/or calculations to the costs of service.
● Bylaw Amendment 24-915 will remove old pipe materials (i.e. asbestos-cement pipe) as acceptable as well as clean up language for the drain layers license to conform with the fee schedule and current practice.
● Bylaw Amendment 24-916 will authorize the DPW Director to waive compliance with the bylaw, as well as the associated noncompliance fine, based on a determination of undue hardship of private residential property owner(s).
While the citizen comment instructions included a slight wording change, it wasn't applicable to the 40 minutes of various comments.
