The Minutes of  the meeting of August 13th, 2003 and September 10th, 2003 were approved as written.

Item 2: Continued discussion from meeting of August 13th, 2003 and September 10th, 2003 and consideration of a proposed water services and metering agreement between The City of Frederick and Frederick Shopping Center, LLC.

 

Discussion:  Scott Miller of Weinberg and Miller, LLC presented the water services and metering agreement to the committee.  Marc Stachowski questioned a portion of the agreement that did not limit the number of new meters to two as originally agreed upon.  Discussion continued regarding the liability the city could have by not limiting the number and what responsibility the applicant would have by adding additional meters.

 

Motion:  Alderman Lenhart moved to recommend that the city and the applicant, (JBG Rosenfeld) enter into an agreement to split the cost of the installation of the meter at the property of the Frederick Shopping Center and that a perpetual assessment in the amount of $1,000 dollars will be paid per year by the applicant and that the the city will continue to meter and bill the 29 existing meters together with payment of $750.00 dollars per year for each additional  meter read up to five meters with all funds being deposited to the water and sewer fund and that each tenant will pay their own water and that the applicant will pay the difference between the volume of water coming in and the volume of water being consumed.  Seconded by Alderman Bill Hall 

Vote: 2 to 1 in favor.

 

Item 3: Discussion with Creekside Plaza, LLC, owner and developer of Site A, regarding the addition of water lines to the area of Site A as approved by the Capital Improvements Program project by The City of Frederick.

 

Motion:  Alderman Ramsburg moved to table this discussion until all agreements between Creekside Plaza, LLC  and the Planning Commission are in place.
