and completing the ADA ramps.
XI. LAZARETTO CREEK
A. Downer Davis explains, one week ago he was contacted by Mike
Scarborough about upgrading his septic system. Downer recommended a few
systems, but also recommended looking into being added to the City’s sewer
system. Mike Scarborough and Paul Burns are willing to add $50,000 each of
their own money towards the project. They believe Mr. Matthews would do the
same. Grant money may be available for this project and the committee agrees to
look into it. Septic tanks can be an environmental hazard, especially in an area
like Lazaretto Creek. The committee agrees that the owners should pay for the
initial feesability study to show their commitment to the project.
Barry Brown motioned to adjourn at 6:09pm. Charlie Brewer seconded.
These minutes were respectfully submitted by Jackie Cary.
