Attorney’s Report:

Status of properties not connected to the sanitary sewer system.

Mr. Kane stated that he met with the Town Manager, who requested a memo regarding the status of Invenergy. Mr. Kane drafted a memo informing the Town Manager that Invenergy had met with the Burrillville Sewer Commission in September 2015 and the BSC had told Invenergy that the BSC facilities plan would need to be amended at Invenergy’s expense. Mr. Kane does not expect to hear back from Invenergy, as they had amended their plan to truck out the sewage, instead of extending the sewer lines. Mr. Kane also stated that he has been unable to make contact with the Glendale Methodist Church. Mr. Stamp has also not yet connected to the sanitary sewer system. The Perry’s are due in court in March regarding failure to connect. Mr. Fontaine made a motion to accept the attorney’s report. The motion was seconded by Mr. Barber. All in favor, so voted.
