RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee, May 26, 1994 - Page 2 A preliminary study has been conducted regarding the installation of a public Septic Dump Station. At present, the only dump stations are located at campgrounds and the rodeo grounds and are not offered to the general public. Upper Thompson Sanitation District has the required discharge permits to allow usage by the general public, but will require strict design guidelines. The use fees are approximately $.50/gallon. Because of this, no recommendations are forthcoming pending further investigation. State Department will overlay Moraine Avenue from Elkhorn to the Donut Haus on June 1, 2, or 6. This will require two days, and traffic control will be provided. Last year the light timing at the intersection of Highway 34 and 36 followed the winter schedule during the week and the summer schedule on weekends. This same schedule will be discussed with the State Department of Transportation for this year. Following completion of all agenda items, staff requested the Committee enter Executive Session to discuss contract negotiations with the Town Attorney. Committee consensus was reached to enter Executive Session, and Chairman Gillette adjourned the meeting at 9:45 a.m. k Tina Kuehl, Deputy Town Clerk JUN 14 1994 TOVIN OF ESTES pat BOARD 0r TRUS SEES G�e.�c:...r.:;:,,�•xsce e. xu,:=:c�ssatDa.:.�r,w.-.�..
