It would supplement <br />revenue as a result of Prop 2 1/2, and we expect to receive an <br />average of $200,000 per year from the Embassy Suites with a 75% <br />occupancy. <br />Article 31: Peter explained that although the $15 milk fee has <br />been in place for several years, in accordance with the general <br />laws it is illegal to charge more than $10. <br />Articles 33 and 34: Peter and the committee discussed the <br />process to defer water and sewer charges. To be eligible an <br />owner must be receiving an exemption from property taxes, as <br />the deferred charges are added to their tax bill which is <br />secured by a lien, with 8% interest. <br />Article 35: The petitioner for this article, Mr. Blanchard, <br />was not present. Peter informed the committee that the <br />petitioner would like his property included in the PUD district <br />which it borders. Committee agreed to attend the April 3rd <br />meeting of the CPDC meeting of April 3 where this article would <br />be discussed. <br />Article 36: The town manager reported that in town counsel's <br />opinion, this article will be ruled out of order at town <br />meeting. <br />At this point Peter left the meeting and the committee took <br />action on the following articles: <br />Article 9: On motion of Dolores Carroll and seconded by <br />George Theophanis, it was voted to recommend Article 9.
