Anchorage Park. The original~an was that this was in the budget
and the Village would receive p$15,000 Eton the County but the
County said that it would only give us $7,000 or $8,000. At a previous
Council meeting it was agreed that the mmney should be used to repair
the marina. the Recreation Advisory Board indicated that they would
still like to build the fourth module and Mr. O'Meilia stated that
he had much of the material and could complete Module ~~4 cheaper; thus,
the figures presented to Council are the costs to complete Module ~~4.

The Mayor placed this item an the agenda; discussion concerning the way
the customers' bills are figured -- sewage vs. water -- by Seacoast
Utilities. lie stated that it does not cost any more to use the
water for drinking or flushing the toilet; that he feels until they
change the rate structure, nothing can be done. He feels that the
rate for the sewage should not be tied to the water gallons.
Councilman Brawn stated that residents can get a separate meter for
their sprinkler systems. It was the consensus of Council that a
letter be written to the Public Service Carndssiam expressing their
views on the present rate structure.
A discussion was held concerning the Village taking over the dining
roam and bar at the NPBCC. The Village Manager and Country Club
Business Administrator have been working on this and have abaft

rates, where these people are asking and where he thinks they ought
to be will be sent the first part of next week.
