He said <br /> this would decrease the capacity of that lift station for adjacent economic development areas, <br /> and so that plan has changed to bypass this station, and take the sewer by force main all the <br /> way down to the new gravity sewer system, which was built to a larger capacity. He said the <br /> original estimates were put together in the middle of the recession, and costs have increased <br /> due to demand and costs of materials. <br /> Travis Myren resumed the presentation: <br /> Capital Investment Plan <br /> • Hillsborough EDD - $380,000: Page 81 <br /> o County CIP includes total project costs. <br /> o County and Hillsborough discussing utility interlocal agreement— BOCC <br /> consideration this spring <br /> o Town of Hillsborough will own and operate the infrastructure with no ongoing <br /> operating costs for the County. <br /> Hillsborough EDD - map <br /> Commissioner McKee clarified that the agreement with Hillsborough is almost <br /> completed. <br /> Craig Benedict said yes, and this will likely come before the BOCC at the May 2nd <br /> meeting.
