THURSDAY 8/9: Town Council to Discuss Providing Sewer Service to County
The next regular Cape Charles Town Council meeting is at 6 p.m. Thursday, August 9, at St. Charles Parish Hall. Agenda items include:
- Eastern Shore Public Service Authority Chairman Bob Panek is asking Town Council to confirm its willingness to provide sewage treatment for areas outside Town boundaries.
- Town Manager Heather Arcos is asking Town Council to award $96,000 for design and engineering (but not construction) of a Town trail on the north portion of Peach Street and on Washington Avenue.
- Town Planner Tom Bonadeo is asking Town Council to discuss boat parking on Town streets, with possible changes to the Town code to prohibit parking.
Public comment will be heard at the beginning of the meeting.
Please bring us up to date regarding the Eastern Shore Public Service Authority, when was it created, by whom and how and when Bob Panek was appointed the Chairman.
Is the $96.000 the Town Manager is requesting for a Town Trail a part of Grants received or some other source?
Providing sewer services outside the town boundries, is a fairly broad term. I would like the town to specify exactly what and where they are thinking of expanding. To date the town has been less than forthcomming with new information. School, Bank ect. On a planning level the town must be very careful how it proceeds. There should be a firm clear policy to not compete with our existing commercial along Mason Ave. If the town is looking at residential, than, that or those subdivisions must be capable and willing to underwrite the infastructure cost as well as the hook up charges based on a fair and equitable basis with what the town residents are paying. NO MORE SCHOOL GIVE AWAY PROGRAMS! !
I don’t beleive the current town residents are willing to incur more debt or monthly charges for future users outside of the stated town boundaries.
