New Business:
Road repair Invoices totaling $11,700 due to Charleston Green for Sea Island Yacht Club Rd.
Candidate data has been turned in for upcoming Town Council Election in November.
Time again for updated Business License Ordinance. Mayor to share details with Council via email. This allows the County to collect business license fees on the Town’s behalf. Clerk to run ad for reading at October Meeting.
Town owes Yacht Club $1000 for catering (500 per year for parade catering). Yacht Club, in turn, donated $2000 to Town for road repairs.
Old Business:
Dr. Linton expressed a concern via letter to the Town, the recent road repairs may cause ponding in his yard. Mayor reached out directly to Dr. Linton and indicated that the Town will endeavor to facilitate the drainage of his private property in any way possible and certainly does not wish to make it worse. Dr. Linton had already retained an engineer to look at the issue. Once a plan is made, Town will coordinate with the engineer. Hopefully any water can be diverted to Dr. Linton’s property line and the Town will take it and expel it into the marsh at a positive slope using traffic grade pipe. Possibly two pipes that will cost between $2000-3000 each as well as a back flow preventer will be needed.
Whit Smith questioned a scenario that would involve taking the ponding water all the way to Bohicket Creek? Mayor comments that any plan would need to be reasonable, and something that the Town could facilitate. Anything beyond going under Town roads would be private property and would have to be dealt with otherwise.
Rockland – Still in bad shape. County has not responded but insists that the road was built correctly and that the Town did not properly maintain it. Town has received conflicting feedback from those who made the repairs initially. County will communicate with Sanders Bros. Construction on additional repairs. Sanders has provided 2 estimates:
$27,000 – using a reclaimer, it takes the base and all other material, mixes it up and creates a slurry, then reforms the road, rolls and compacts and crowns. Would require quarterly or bi-annual maintenance? Town leaning toward this option.
$90,000- same as above but includes adding an asphltlum chemical and a sort of glue with some concrete mixed in. Would not need maintenance for 5-6 years.
Frank Thornhill asks….is it the entire Road? Hard to tell from estimate. Frank also notes that some parts of the road are much better so clarification is need on what exactly will happen, and where with the $27,000 option. Council to have a site visit with Sanders to have any questions answered.
Next meeting at Whit Smith’s house.
Mayor Motions to adjourn 7:27, seconded by Tammy Bazzle.
