WAYNESBORO BOROUGH AUTHORITY

NOVEMBER 2, 2010

MINUTES

Authority Chairman Jon Fleagle called the special meeting of the Waynesboro Borough Authority to order at 7:30 p.m. with the following in attendance:

Borough Authority Members – Jon Fleagle, Lee Layman, S. Allen Stine, Christopher Snively and William Pflager

           Borough Staff – S. Leiter Pryor, Director of Borough Utilities

TAP FEE REQUEST - CRAIG MAHRLE TOWN HOMES: Leiter Pryor presented a request from Craig Mahrle regarding a tap fee credit for the demolished 8-unit apartment building that was located at 7-19 South Potomac Street. This lot is adjacent to the Wayne Building that he owns. Leiter Pryor reported that he discovered one of Mr. Mahrle’s new town homes behind the former Beck & Benedict building is occupied, and that no tap fees were paid for the new units. He further indicated that he discussed the situation with Mr. Mahrle and told him that he needed to pay the appropriate tap fees for water and sewer. Mr. Mahrle questioned if a credit could be issued for the demolished 8-unit apartment building. After some discussion, the WBA decided that a credit could not be issued due to the lack of documentation from Mr. Mahrle. Leiter Pryor was directed to contact Mr. Mahrle and offer him a payment plan for the unpaid tap fee for the tenant-occupied town home.

PROPOSED 2011 WATER AND SEWER BUDGETS: Jon Fleagle led a line-by-line discussion of the proposed 2011 water and sewer budgets. Some minor modifications were requested to both the water and sewer budgets. Leiter Pryor was directed to obtain more accurate general expense figures from Lloyd Hamberger for the November 16, 2010 regular WBA meeting. Leiter Pryor presented an additional capital item request for leak detection equipment for the water system. He indicated that there is equipment available that utilizes correlation technology (similar to AQUATECH) that could be used to perform in-house leak detection. After some discussion, Mr. Pryor was instructed to formulate a plan with Scott Crum to present at the regular WBA meeting, and to include the expenditure in the proposed 2011 water budget. It was recommended that the purchase of this equipment should come out of the Construction Fund, and that the AQUATECH services for 2011 be removed from the budget.

Having no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 9:45 p.m. on a Pflager/Stine motion which passed unanimously.

                                                                      Respectfully Submitted,

                                                                      S. Leiter Pryor

                                                                      Director of Borough Utilities
