1 00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:52,320 No, I appreciate that. >> That's my that's the way it would have 2 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,480 happened. >> Okay. Um 3 00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:59,600 unless unless anybody has any objection, I'll 4 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:06,120 get started. >> We 5 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,120 » Okay, good to go ahead. 6 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:31,759 Okay, we're ready. >> Okay. All right. Um, I will call to 7 00:01:29,759 --> 00:01:37,119 well, we're back for just so that you know, we're um 8 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:41,200 call to order the meeting of the municipal authority August 17, 2026. 9 00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:47,759 We're just back from an executive session of the board to discuss uh 10 00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:52,640 privileged matters. Um, at this point, I'll do a roll call. Maria Kaine is 11 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,640 here. Steve Mel >> here. 12 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,040 » Walter Bennis >> here. Tim Kelly, he is not here. And 13 00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:02,320 Kevin Moyer >> here. 14 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:07,759 » Our solicitor, Mike Madrin, is not present with us tonight. Um, our 15 00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:13,440 engineer, um, in place of Dave Porter, we have Dominic 16 00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:18,319 Scraano from McCome Engineering, operations manager, Steve Nie, is with 17 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:22,400 us as well. Okay. Um, at this point, let's stand for 18 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:27,040 the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United 19 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:32,400 States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under 20 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:36,040 God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 21 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:49,760 » Okay. Um, everybody's had a chance. Oh, members of the public, um, anybody need 22 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:54,160 to speak about agenda items? Is this an agenda item or 23 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:59,040 Okay, please step up and just give us your name and your address and let us 24 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:02,000 know what you're here for. >> Rest of us, 25 00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:09,519 » save the battery. >> Uh John Butler, 102 Hunters run. Uh I 26 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:15,760 looked at the uh engineers report and I saw the flow and you have some real high 27 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:21,200 numbers and and that's my real concern because the Delorey will sir charge on 28 00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:26,640 those things. Plus, we're all paying for it. Now, I know there was some comment 29 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:33,599 that the last meeting. Uh, do we have manhole manhole uh things to prevent 30 00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:42,239 water going in? And are we looking at the the vent caps at the properties 31 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:48,239 at maybe below ground level? Uh, and you know, that's and are we checking to see 32 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:54,000 if people have some pumps because there's Camela has some real 33 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:59,840 high numbers. A couple others do too. And it's we're 34 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:06,400 all paying for that flow. Uh the other thing the the payment list 35 00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:11,120 I know the supervisors after my request they've they put items in there 36 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:16,239 indicating what they're actually for rather than what gets who's getting 37 00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:21,120 paid. And it's a lot of help if somebody looks at the payment list to see what's 38 00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:27,040 going on. And apparently it it can be done with the software we have because 39 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:32,880 the supervisors have done that. Uh the the municipal authority financial 40 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:37,520 audits, are they going to be online? I'm interested in looking at the uh 41 00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:45,520 especially the the the manager's report in there. I 42 00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:50,000 but are they going to be aligned and the redemption of bonds? I asked the 43 00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:55,919 supervisor in the meeting how much are we going to save? They told me I had to 44 00:04:52,000 --> 00:05:00,880 come here to find out now and it's a variable rate loan. I'm I'm not so sure 45 00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:05,520 I like that with the way interest rates are going up at this point, but there 46 00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:13,039 should be you should be able to tell me how much when we refi how much we're 47 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:17,440 going to save and they didn't know. I'd like to know that number and you 48 00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:22,720 know what what interest rate are we really starting out at? because I'm a 49 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:29,039 little I was a supervised commissioner in Marble and I don't particularly like 50 00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:33,440 this kind of a deal that they're doing. I tend to like a fixed one. And what are 51 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:38,479 we paying right now on our current bonds? 52 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:43,440 So, and tax fees I am concerned because I know 53 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:52,800 New Town put a certain amount of capacity into the system when we put the 54 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:58,960 uh the line going down. uh I think on 25 20 252 it was a certain amount based on 55 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:07,199 the the flow in this town and we appear to be adding uh more projects and the 56 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:11,759 tap fee apparently was set at that time. So adding capacity at this point is 57 00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:16,800 going to be more expensive. So the tap fee should be going up and I see you 58 00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:21,280 have something on here talk about it. So, uh, 59 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:27,280 but okay, I gather you don't have a collapse. That's good. But, but, uh, I 60 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:33,120 think there should be more discussion on what won in executive session rather 61 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:38,000 than just privilege matters. I think you're really supposed to say more 62 00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:42,160 general. I mean, if it's a lawsuit, you can say there's a lawsuit, but don't 63 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,120 think you can just get away. >> Well, it was a privilege. 64 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:49,840 » I'm just going to stop you at that point. I mean, we only talk about things 65 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:54,639 that we're entitled to talk about in the executive session, 66 00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:59,199 » but generally is normally >> Yeah. There are items there are certain 67 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,680 there's a list of um certain number of items in the Sunshine 68 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,479 Act, >> right? 69 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:10,319 » Okay. And the reason I say privileged matters is sometimes if you're talking 70 00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:15,360 about like a contract under negotiation is a privileged matter. Okay. but they 71 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:20,800 don't have contract under negotiation in the Sunshine Act. So, a lot of things 72 00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:26,400 might fall under that. If we're um negotiating a settlement of a of a 73 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:33,759 dispute, that would be a priv privileged matter as well. Um but that might not be 74 00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:36,639 named specifically in the Sunshine Act. Okay. 75 00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:45,280 For instance, personnel matter is in there specifically. So I would say 76 00:07:43,599 --> 00:07:47,840 personnel matter, but we didn't have a personnel matter to discuss. 77 00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:52,400 » Okay. >> Okay. And thank you for all your 78 00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:55,120 comments. We really appreciate it. >> You want to 79 00:07:53,199 --> 00:08:02,160 » I mean we are going to be talking just so you know about um uh the audit and I 80 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,479 would uh that will be published. You will be able to look at that for sure. 81 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:11,759 Okay. It is finished. So, you'll be able to get to that. And the other thing was 82 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:15,199 the refinance. I think you mentioned um I think you'll have definitely some more 83 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:19,759 details um at our next meeting, but I think 84 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:25,520 generally tonight we could talk when we get to that point on the agenda, we can 85 00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:30,400 talk about um overall savings >> comment on the flow 86 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:33,519 » and then the comment on the flow. Um >> it's seven inches of rain. 87 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,519 » Yeah. Yeah. This month, which is >> I think that's what he's concerned 88 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:40,320 about. >> The first time we had that much. 89 00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:44,320 » It was a lot of rain this month. >> Yeah. And and I will comment just 90 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:49,680 further on your infiltration. We the board is really cognizant that we pay 91 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:53,760 for flow and we are aware that rain infiltration, which you brought up, is 92 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,640 an issue. I don't know if it's an issue for us as much as it is for other 93 00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:01,120 authorities, but we're looking into it regardless. And you may be happy to hear 94 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:05,440 that we're currently undergoing a scoping project all throughout our sewer 95 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:09,519 system right now to try to identify infiltration points. Um, and I don't 96 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:13,760 know if that report's complete yet from MCMI, but it's very close to being 97 00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:18,640 complete. And then we plan to surgically address those areas that may be 98 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:22,320 contributing to the infiltration to ensure that they're sealed up for 99 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,279 environmental and for rate paying reasons. So, we are we are currently 100 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,800 looking into that and dedicating resources to making sure that uh that's 101 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:34,800 tightened up. >> And I think Hunter's Run was not 102 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:37,519 originally on the five um what is it? The 103 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,240 » 537 plan. What >> 537 104 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:44,320 » and then we added them later because your community really wanted to be 105 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:48,240 added. Was that correct, Steve? >> I don't know that. I know it was added 106 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:52,720 during the process. during the process, but I think the approved original plan, 107 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,480 Hunter's Run, was not in there. >> It may not have been. 108 00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:02,560 » And we had a lot of, >> you know, interest in making sure that 109 00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:07,440 we got got your whole community added. So, 110 00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:12,320 but we appreciate we appreciate all of your comments. We really do. 111 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:16,160 Thank you. Okay. 112 00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:20,560 Uh, all right. Moving on. 113 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:25,440 Everybody's had a chance to review the minutes from the July 20, 2026 meeting. 114 00:10:23,839 --> 00:10:29,360 » We have to do the agenda first. >> Oh, I'm sorry. 115 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:34,160 » You want to amend it, right? >> Um, we are going to amend. Are we 116 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:38,720 amending it? The Fourth Avenue. >> Okay. All right. So, 117 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:48,160 » thank you, Walter, for keeping me straight. Um, first of all, I'd like to 118 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:53,839 ask for a motion to amend the agenda to include 119 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:59,680 um approve uh I guess it would be a required uh requirement to 120 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:07,360 or require the Fourth Avenue construction project to include a trap 121 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:12,959 outside of that newly constructed building consistent with the building 122 00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:16,880 code. Do I have a motion to amend? >> Second. 123 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,839 » Okay, that motion has been made and seconded. All those in favor? 124 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,440 » I >> I 125 00:11:20,959 --> 00:11:27,440 » I sorry for clarification. The move is to amend the agenda to require the 126 00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:31,120 Fourth Avenue construction project to require a trap outside of construction 127 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,040 consistent with the code. >> Is that fair? 128 00:11:32,079 --> 00:11:35,680 » The construction code. >> Consistent with the construction code. 129 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:40,800 Thank you. Yep. >> I think you want to say it's consistent 130 00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:44,640 with the authorities requirements. I I think because the question is okay 131 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:48,480 because I think that they're saying it's not consistent with the construction 132 00:11:46,079 --> 00:11:51,920 code. So I think there's the authorities requirements. 133 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:57,120 » Thank you, Steve. Amending that to state consistent with the authority the 134 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:04,480 authorities's practice and requirements to include a trap outside of the 135 00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:07,480 residential facility or residential building. 136 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:12,800 Okay. Does the motion stand as as made and seconded? 137 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,720 » Okay. >> All right. And do we vote on that? All 138 00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:24,320 those in favor I >> I All right. Um, and that will be at, 139 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,880 just so we know, let's make that at >> Yeah, I was assuming 140 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:30,320 » I'm gonna make it at new business 12. We'll make that at 12 141 00:12:29,839 --> 00:12:34,000 » five. >> Right. Uh, 142 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:37,680 so you're doing that now.

Um and then um your capital, we haven't really done 170 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:05,519 much capital yet this year and so when we do those uh there'll be some change 171 00:15:03,199 --> 00:15:13,440 in that, but that that's where that is. Um and your uh your escros are running 172 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:18,240 about on target. Uh also in your packet is the monies that are being reviewed by 173 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:23,360 Portnoff. Uh you had requested that I get Portoff in. I tend to do that for 174 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:31,360 the September meetings. Um, and that will be a good time. They just actually 175 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:35,839 um did a a mailing uh back in April and uh hopefully we'll have a you know 176 00:15:33,839 --> 00:15:39,920 roughly about three or four months of that mailing and seeing whether or not 177 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:45,279 we can reduce the amount that they have uh on their list. And then finally, uh, 178 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:50,880 you have your aging report. Without port, uh, it just happens to be the way 179 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:56,000 it fell. Um, we end up having a tremendous number of accounts that are 180 00:15:53,199 --> 00:16:00,639 on there. Um, it actually shows like some ridiculous number like a million 181 00:15:58,079 --> 00:16:05,360 dollars. Uh, I don't want you to panic. The million dollars is actually all of 182 00:16:02,959 --> 00:16:11,279 the July building or bill. So, not building, billing. I'll speak English 183 00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:15,680 some point here. Billing. Um and uh what's outstanding there is about a 184 00:16:12,959 --> 00:16:22,320 million three or million one roughly. Uh but if you look at what's outstanding at 185 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:29,839 the end of uh June and May and then in April uh your total uh there's about 106 186 00:16:26,959 --> 00:16:35,040 in April and then you add another uh roughly 10,000 to that. So about 116,000 187 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:42,399 of old uh older than three months or older 188 00:16:38,079 --> 00:16:46,160 than two months, I'm sorry. Uh in billings that are outstanding that 189 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:49,240 are not haven't been already turned over to Port. 190 00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:55,519 » All right, >> that is your financial report. 191 00:16:53,600 --> 00:17:02,000 » Thank you. Um next, the engineers report. 192 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:06,559 » Uh yeah, thank you. uh the executive summary. So just a brief summary of 193 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:11,120 engineering activities this month. Um our office coordinated with the 194 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:15,839 authority manager, solicitor and staff regarding the uh Camelap pump station 195 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:20,559 sanitary sewer overflow event. Our office will be circulating the sanitary 196 00:17:17,919 --> 00:17:25,600 sewer overflow report that was prepared and filed to D by Delora. So be on the 197 00:17:23,439 --> 00:17:29,120 lookout for that. Also, um, our office has reviewed 198 00:17:27,679 --> 00:17:33,440 product submitts for the Westchester Pike sewer projects. 199 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:38,720 Um, the highway occupancy permit for Rner Drive has expired. We resubmitted 200 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:45,520 an application and it's under review by PENDOT. The HOP for the Dunoody area has 201 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:50,080 been extended extended until March 28th, 2027. 202 00:17:47,919 --> 00:17:56,640 And we are also evaluating the impact to the pump stations uh with regard to 11, 203 00:17:53,520 --> 00:18:02,080 15, and 17 Campus Boulevard uh that potential development and the Hickory 204 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:08,400 Lane pump station decommissioning. Um also this month there was um a 205 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:12,400 complaint about trench settlement at 307 French Road. 206 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:18,480 Our office informed the contractor of the complaint. They met with the owner 207 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:24,080 and they will address um the issue when the project resumes. Uh the only caveat 208 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:27,120 to that, the owner asked that uh the contractor address the issue in the fall 209 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:32,480 so they can use their yard throughout the summer. 210 00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:37,520 Um additionally, our office received the more construction video surveillance 211 00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:40,880 files for review. Uh the videos are under review and a report with 212 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:44,240 recommendations will be prepared. We're about onethird of the way done through 213 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:49,080 that currently. So that's coming in the next few weeks. 214 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,080 Um 215 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:58,160 uh over the last month planning modules have been reviewed. Uh there was one for 216 00:18:55,679 --> 00:19:02,400 the village of four seasons uh sewage facilities planning module and that's 217 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:08,039 currently ongoing coordination with the solicitor regarding the intermunicipal 218 00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:08,039 agreement. 219 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,880 Um, >> I think that's been completed, hasn't 220 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:17,360 it? >> The intermunicipal agreement's been 221 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:21,360 completed, but I'm not sure how it ties in with Ds yet. So, I think that's what 222 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:25,679 they're working of how to get that make sure D 223 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:30,240 understands what we're trying to do. >> I apologize for inter 224 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,240 that that's what I I think they're working on. 225 00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:40,320 » Okay. Um, also our office has reviewed uh four 226 00:19:35,919 --> 00:19:47,919 public sewer connection permits. Uh, there was one at 113 Boot Road. 227 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:55,320 Uh, the second was 3111 Sawmill Road. Third was 3113 Sawmill Road and the 228 00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:55,320 final was 147 Ridgefield Road. 229 00:19:55,679 --> 00:19:59,440 Okay. And 230 00:19:57,679 --> 00:20:03,280 » uh, yeah, that was the engineers report. Thank you. 231 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:07,840 » Thank you. Any questions for the engineers? Okay. Operation manager 232 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:13,360 report. That's >> Yeah, I actually somebody actually 233 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:21,919 already mentioned relating to the um flow uh that we had of rainwater and 234 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:26,880 what impact that had. Um and not surprisingly that there's an uptick when 235 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:33,520 we have those high uh rain things. I would just make clear that the overflow 236 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:40,559 that we had at Camelot related to the sewer piece uh was not additional flow 237 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:46,000 that went into the system. It was flow that didn't make it to the system. So 238 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:48,640 just that there's clarity on that. Um doesn't mean that there hasn't been an 239 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:53,200 increase in flow. I'm not saying there hasn't been on the rain days, but it's 240 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:57,039 that um that there was actually another issue that was going on there. And I 241 00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:04,000 think that's why you see in that report where you see those zero days. Um that's 242 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:08,720 that's ties back to some of that. Um the other thing that I would make note uh 243 00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:14,480 for you obviously if you hopefully you see the RHM flow as well that that that 244 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:19,919 stays pretty consistent. We stay around that 11 12% of the total. Um actually I 245 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:25,120 think we're down a little bit which tells me that our in inflow is not as 246 00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:30,080 much as maybe the other surrounding municipalities. Um if that's the case 247 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:34,080 not 100% sure on that but our percentage seems to have dropped just a hair. Um 248 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:38,960 and so that may be the case. Other than that you look at the Delora report that 249 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:43,200 was sent in. Um couple minor things. You know there was a 250 00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:48,080 at the Chrome Creek station there was a grinder contactor that had to be 251 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:54,400 replaced. Uh I believe there was a backup uh surge 252 00:21:51,520 --> 00:22:00,320 uh arresttor that was replaced and then also uh that they came out and looked at 253 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:05,120 a primary uh power failure at Hunter at Hunt 254 00:22:02,159 --> 00:22:09,200 Hunt New Town Hunt pump station. Uh other than that, everything was 255 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:12,340 standard. Pretty pretty quiet month. I like them that way. [laughter] 256 00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:21,120 » Okay, we appreciate it. All right, moving on. Consider approving the bills 257 00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:25,679 on check register dated August 17, 2026 totaling $38,995 258 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,679 cents. >> So moved. 259 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,320 » Thank you, Walter. >> Second. 260 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:35,360 » Second by Steve. All those in favor? >> I 261 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:39,600 » I All right. Um, consider accepting the 2025 Municipal Authority financial 262 00:22:37,679 --> 00:22:43,039 audits. Um, and I I think with some 263 00:22:41,679 --> 00:22:48,080 understanding that we had a couple of questions and and but that wouldn't 264 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:53,919 impact our ability to accept the financial audits for 2025. 265 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,760 All those uh do I hear a motion? >> So moved. 266 00:22:55,039 --> 00:23:00,000 » Second. >> Second from Walter. All those in favor? 267 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:05,840 » I >> I 268 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:14,000 » All right. Moving on. Um 12.2. Consider approving a refund to Donald and Wendy 269 00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:18,480 Slwell for 3505 Mirwood Drive in the amount of $155.98 270 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:22,640 for a sewer overpayment as they forgot to remove autopay when they moved. Do I 271 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,240 hear a motion? >> So moved. 272 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,520 » Second. >> Thank you. Any questions or comments on 273 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,480 this one? >> Do you recommend Are you recommending we 274 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:35,120 approve this, Steve? >> Absolutely. It's, you know, it's simple 275 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,679 that they just kept their auto pay on. >> Oh, so it was paying a balance didn't 276 00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:41,679 exist. >> They were paying a balance that doesn't 277 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:46,080 even exist. Yes. Exactly. They moved and now the new property owner, but it went 278 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:49,679 to their account and we were looking at it going, why do we have an amount on a 279 00:23:48,159 --> 00:23:53,679 account that we closed out that should be zero? And it's showing that there's a 280 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,159 credit and that's what happened. >> All right. All those in favor? 281 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,840 » I I >> I. 282 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,799 All right. Moving on. discussion and possible action item related to the 283 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:12,080 status of the pending redemption of sewer revenue bonds series 2018. 284 00:24:07,679 --> 00:24:17,679 Um it's my understanding that um the board of supervisors are going to be 285 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:23,679 um voting on an ordinance related to this related to the redemption refunding 286 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:27,679 of the guaranteed sewer revenue bonds um to close. If I could just say that I 287 00:24:25,679 --> 00:24:31,679 just just to add to that you're saying that that's actually tomorrow night. 288 00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:35,200 » That's I'm sorry that's tomorrow. Yeah knows that. 289 00:24:32,559 --> 00:24:40,240 » So that's yeah just just for the record. Um I don't think this is an action item 290 00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:45,279 by any stretch but um you know it's my understanding that there is um an 291 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:50,480 ordinance u to be voted on with respect to that um guarantee the guaranteeing of 292 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:54,400 the sewer revenue bonds and the refinancing. 293 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,919 Um, so was there anything else I think uh 294 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:02,320 given the question that we had on the floor? You wanted to just speak just 295 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:05,360 generally to the savings or to the to the scheduling I think and then to the 296 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,600 savings. >> Okay. So originally we were looking at 297 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:14,480 the earliest redemption date was September 1st with the township meeting 298 00:25:12,159 --> 00:25:19,840 tomorrow. We have a new schedule now that says that we will be able to uh 299 00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:25,360 close and redeem the 2018 bonds on September 18th. It's a little bit later 300 00:25:22,159 --> 00:25:29,679 than we expected. Um the your to the gentleman's question, uh the interest 301 00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:35,200 rate is fixed. Uh currently we're looking at an interest rate fixed for 302 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:40,799 the whole period until uh 2048 at 4.329%. 303 00:25:37,919 --> 00:25:48,960 Um our current interest rate is higher obviously and we're looking at um a 304 00:25:44,159 --> 00:25:55,200 total of 1.277 277 million less interest expense uh over the term of the bond. Um 305 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,480 and that's I guess the reason that we're doing the refinancing is that we are 306 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:04,559 expecting that uh with that lower interest rate we'll be able to um 307 00:26:01,679 --> 00:26:09,600 produce a savings of about 1.277 million at this point. 308 00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:14,799 » All right. I really appreciate it. >> Sorry for notes. What's the new 309 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:17,600 anticipated redemption date? September 18th. 310 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:21,760 » September 18th. Thank you. And the anticipated savings 311 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:25,880 » 1,277. >> 1277. Thank you. 312 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:37,760 » Um and then the next item 12.4 um just uh possible um just discussion 313 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:42,320 item related to tap and fees. And I think we're going to table that for the 314 00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:48,799 next time as our our um although Dominic very capable, we wanted to have our um 315 00:26:45,919 --> 00:26:53,760 our engineer who has been dealing with um these issues for us uh more 316 00:26:51,679 --> 00:26:59,840 regularly. So we will table that for next time. And moving on to the newly 317 00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:07,360 added item 12.5. Um that was related to the 4th Avenue 318 00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:15,360 item that um we're going to require that the um that a trap be installed outside 319 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:20,240 um consistent with municipal authority policies uh for the 4th Avenue property. 320 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:25,600 Do I hear a motion? >> So moved. Second. All right. Any 321 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,520 questions or comments? All those in favor? 322 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:34,320 » I >> I All right. Any old business or 323 00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:39,600 anything else for the good of the order? Any additional public comment 324 00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:43,679 based on any actions taken tonight? Okay. Hearing none, um I adjourn this 325 00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:46,840 meeting. Thank you. >> Thank you. 326 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,120 I'm going to run upstairs and hit
