Annual Town Meeting - May 14, 1996
 
Article 46:
To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate or transfer from available funds a sum of money to operate the Sewer Department; or to take any other action thereto.
 
On a motion duly made and seconded the Town voted that the following sums be appropriated to the Sewer Enterprise Fund to be expended under the direction of the Sewer Commissioners:
 
(Note; the SEWER COMMISSIONERS, NOT the Town Coordinator or Town Administrator and NOT the board of Selectmen)
 
. . . . and that $182,508.49 be raised as follows: $120,000.00 be raised from Sewer receipts and $62,508.49 be raised from taxation.
 
Passed
 
So, I wonder if the selectmen and T/A still  think that Sewer Commissioners only have a say so on policy with regards to Sewer Department?
