That the County and Town Managers continue to explore the creation of a County Utility District for all property owners in the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood that are not currently served by a municipal water and sewer system and would benefit from the installation of sewer infrastructure to serve the Rogers Road Neighborhood Several questions to be answered: 1. Does the Task Force need to continue to function? 2. If so, who should be appointed to serve (several changes within the membership have occurred due to changes in elected positions of the former members)? Note: the Towns will also need to formalize their continued participation and representatives. 3. If the Task Force continues, does the Charge need to be modified and/or adefinitive time line set for a final report from the Task Force. 4. Based upon recent input from legal Counsel from the Towns, does the Community Center Project move forward as a `County Only' project or does the County await further input from the Towns?
