Charlotte Madigan, Town Clerk, presented the Affidavit of Publication and the Notice of Posting; copies are labeled Exhibit 01-C-05, and made a part of these minutes.
Ron Delo, Dept. Environmental Mgt. & Eng., gave an overview for the code change. The Town would take over the repair or replacement of the main sewer line to the property line or edge of the easement. The Town would only take over responsibility after it was installed properly. DEME inspects all new sewer lines on new homes. It is in the best interest of the Town to do repairs, which will ensure any process presently done by homeowners. This will not be on private property, only on the public portion.
The public comment portion was opened and the following people spoke:
Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, asked if it will be in the best interest of the taxpayers?
Mary McCloskey, Blauvelt, is delighted the Town Board is considering passing this law. Recently her family had to spend $13,000 for this repair.
Donald Brenner, Orangeburg, asked if the Town is aware of what their responsibility entails? He feels this proposal would be very costly to the Town.
Tom Quinlan, Pearl River, repair was at street level but was cast iron not Orangeburg pipe. This may be more typical then thought and less cost to the Town.
