28 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 1146 technicians, they have technicians to do this and,you're relying on a homeowner's association to <br /> 1147 hire and maintain a sewage technician,at least one. <br /> 1148 <br /> 1149 Cy Stober: Were,were you bugging the conference room yesterday? It sounds like you were with me and <br /> 1150 Perdita. <br /> 1151 <br /> 1152 Adam Beeman: No,this has been one of the things. It came up in Massachusetts when I first did the work. There <br /> 1153 was a community that had absolutely zero access to water and sewer, and they installed this <br /> 1154 system, and I was baffled because they were going to have two technicians that that was their job. <br /> 1155 To babysit it and there was no guarantee once, once you say, here's your certificate of <br /> 1156 compliance, have at it. <br /> 1157 <br /> 1158 Charity Kirk: Yeah, I, I know a community in California too. Every once in a while,the sewage overflowed into <br /> 1159 the Iaguna.You'd have some poop, and you were part of it. <br /> 1160 <br /> 1161 Cy Stober: Well, Patrick, Perdida,and I were all talking about very similar things yesterday. So, I don't know. <br /> 1162 The commissioners want more information. You all want more information. We'll have more <br /> 1163 information, but I don't have it tonight. <br /> 1164 <br /> 1165 Adam Beeman: Like I said, I may or may not be here for that discussion,so I got to get my two cents in. <br /> 1166 <br /> 1167 Beth Bronson: When,when is your term up? <br /> 1168 <br /> 1169 Adam Beeman: March. <br /> 1170 <br /> 1171 Lamar Proctor So,that's already included in the work plan under 7, looking at that. <br /> 1172 <br /> 1173 Perdita Holtz: Yeah, and that is under the emerging issues or other information that you want to bring to <br /> 1174 commissioner's attention. It's not necessarily like we're actively going to have something this <br /> 1175 year. <br /> 1176 <br /> 1177 Lamar Proctor: Right. I had a question. I was very intrigued by the under-utilization of OWASA. Is that part of <br /> 1178 what we're looking at and can that be included? Is that already part of our work plan in terms of <br /> 1179 looking forward or is that something that we can do. <br /> 1180 <br /> 1181 Cy Stober: No, it'll be part of the comprehensive plan policy recommendations. <br /> 1182 <br /> 1183 Lamar Proctor: Okay, so, it's covered in the work plan already. <br /> 1184 <br /> 1185 Cy Stober: I intend to, and the commissioners are interested in that conversation. <br /> 1186 <br /> 1187 Perdita Holtz: I'm not sure if I'd call it the under-utilization of OWASA. They have plenty of capacity. <br /> 1188 <br /> 1189 Beth Bronson: Well, I mean I think the under-utilization of the infrastructure that exists within the economic <br /> 1190 development districts is absolutely something that I would like to see more discussion about <br /> 1191 among the commissioners because that's going to directly impact how the economic development <br /> 1192 department and, in turn,the planning boards and, in turn, applicants too. Just that there is a large <br /> 1193 amount of space that has been built up and is not being utilized for industrial or commercial use <br /> 1194 and whether or not we're missing out on tax revenue dollars that are already there to be realized <br /> 1195 versus expanding an economic development district. It would be very interesting to know what that <br /> 1196 is and what that looks like and how it might be impacting the commissioner's desire to expand it <br /> 1197 versus to actually utilize it. <br /> 1198 <br />
