Town Manager 1. Little Club Update Town Manager Thrasher reported that there was a letter from the Little Club, responding to the letter that the Mayor had sent, requesting to Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Town Commission — September 11, 2002 Page 2 delay meeting with the Town until October when most of the members will be returning. He further reported that there has been no response to the letter Attorney Randolph sent, which was after the Mayor had written and received no reply. The Mayor inquired as to when the Drainage Maintenance Agreement expires. Mr. Thrasher stated that it expires September 30, 2002. Mayor Koch asked Attorney Randolph if the letter sent by the Little Club asking for postponement of a meeting automatically extended the contract. Attorney Randolph stated that arguably, the Little Club would be hard pressed to deny an extension to the Town to drain into their system. Mr. Randolph suggested writing a letter to the Little Club indicating that postponing a meeting until October would mean extending the Drainage Maintenance Agreement after the expiration date for a reasonable amount of time until an agreement has been met. Commissioner Lynch moved and Commissioner Orthwein seconded to authorize the attorney to write a letter to the Little Club regarding the extension of the Drainage Maintenance Agreement as discussed.

Proposal to expand scope of Sewer Feasibility Study Mr. Thrasher reported that he received a draft of the Sewer Feasibility Study from the engineers but there have been subsequent discussions with regard to including the entire town in the study. The additional fee to expand the scope of the Sewer Feasibility Study would be $7,500.00. Mayor Koch explained that there are grants available during the next few months but there would also be a cost to each resident to connect to any system. Town Manager Thrasher advised that most grants are associated with areas that are depressed which the Town would not qualify for. He stated that he had spoken with people in Tallahassee and was advised that there are other types of funds the Town could qualify for. Commissioner Lynch agreed that the study should include the entire Town. Commissioner Devitt moved and Commissioner Orthwein seconded to proceed with the Sewer Feasibility Study to include the entire Town. Roll Call: Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE, Comm. Orthwein; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE 3. Proposed feral cat removal program Mr. Thrasher stated that the cat problem was not getting any better because there are residents that are still feeding the animals and the Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Page 3 Town Commission — September 11, 2002 trapping program is not successful because the traps that the Town sets out are being tampered with. Only about 1/3 of animals trapped are cats. The Town Manager advised that he, along with Chief Ward, had spoken with a few residents regarding possible solutions, one of which was the TNR O (trap, neuter and return) program at a cost of $60 to $90 per animal for the neutering in addition to the trapping. Commissioner Hopkins stated that he is favor of this program.
