OLD BUSINESS:
• Buckhorn: The Buckhorn Association had their meeting on June 4th and the
map study was presented. The $14,000 budget would be $318 a year per
customer and $79 a quarter. The $18,000 budget would be $102 a quarter
and $284 a year per customer.
➢ The Buckhorn district is unmetered water.
➢ Councilwoman Kardash asked if there was going to be enough money
in case something catastrophic happened with the water system.
Supervisor Entwistle answered they would have to bond through the
town.
➢ The Buckhorn Association has a Special Meeting July 9th, but they are
having issues with the majority of the homeowners available in
person. Supervisor Entwistle suggested having them use the meeting
room at the Town Hall and allowing people to zoom in. If they vote to
have the water district, the Town Bard will schedule a Public Hearing
at the July Regular meeting. If everything goes smoothly, the town
could potentially take over their water district next spring.
