• Introductions were made and discussion began with explanation that the Village is in very preliminary stages of determining interest and feasibility of expansion of the Village Sewer System to outlying areas. Trustee Peterson indicated we are working on a two-year plan and that we do have excess capacity at present.
• Gerry Rogers of TA Truck Stop expressed his interest in the possibility of hooking up to a sewer system should it become available. He also mentioned that they currently have an Activated Sludge Class C Sewer Treatment with tanks in ground that they would not need if they hooked into a system. They said they would be glad to have VRI come take a look at it. He said that they have contracted an engineering firm to run it and pay over $1000 per month for testing, etc. It has a 30,000 gal/day capacity, and that they average 10,000 gal/day usage during peak season. Ken Scherrieble set up a meeting with Mr. Rogers for Monday Aug.21 at 3:00 pm to go take a look at the TA Sludge Plant. Mr. Rogers also mentioned that in Spring 2007 TA is hooking into the water line and will be digging up then repaving a portion of their parking lot. He wondered about the possibility of having pipe for the sewer system put into the ground at the same time to eliminate having to tear up and repave the parking lot twice.

• Mr. Christiansen left the meeting at 7:55 pm.
• Zoning Officer Richard Reeves was questioned regarding a few zoning issues such as the Campbell property next to Mercantile Dollar Store.  He said that Mr. Campbell is extremely interested in selling that property. With regards to the shed located between two commercial businesses on Main Street, he said due to it being commercial, it is an issue for the planning board, not him. Regarding signage, he said temporary signage is allowed for up to one month, but felt it must be enforced equally.
• When questioned as to his duties, Mr. Reeves responded that it is to interpret and enforce what is in the Zoning Laws.
