PHIL MOENNING -APPEAL OF TAP FEE DETERMINATION -CONTINUATION. Bill Van Horn,representing Phil Moenning,appeared before the Committee to advise of additional information.In reviewing the Town’s archives,Mr.Van Horn found that in some instances,the Town Board did grant free taps for acquisition of right-of-way. The Town charged $10.00 for a tap fee.Taps larger than 5/8” required the Town’s permission;however,there is no record of any appeals to the Town Board for taps larger than 5/8”.In Mr. Van Horn’s opinion,history indicates the taps were not limited in size until the Town made taps more valuable.Mr.Moenning desires a 2”tap plus 1,000 fixture value units free—of—charge. Chairman Dickinson requested and received permission from the Committee to enter executive session to discuss the counter—offer submitted this date by Mr.Moenning.The meeting adjourned to executive session at 1:53 P.M. Chairman Dickinson reconvened the Special Water Committee meeting at 2:27 P.M.
