Chair Jacobs said it is clear that the elected officials want this to happen as soon as <br /> possible. He said the issues about funding need to be addressed in the interim. He noted that <br /> if there are more people in the district, the rates would go down. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said there is water infrastructure in place, but not all of the 86 <br /> homes are connected to water. He said this needs to be considered, and the available funds <br /> need to be used to connect anyone who is not connected. He said the proposal needs to <br /> have an emphasis on providing the connection to the sewer line at no cost to homeowners. <br /> Chair Jacobs clarified that this is part of the task force recommendation. <br /> Alderman Gist left at 9:47. <br /> 5.
