Contact will be made with the property owners who request valve turns.  Jay Buckley outlines that scheduling work on a Sat is not acceptable to water operator Ian Hayes.   Jay Buckley makes a motion to alter the date to the first Monday in May and the first Monday in November.  Jay outlines that Monday may be easier for residents.  Dianna Doyle recommends scheduling turn on for first Friday of May; turn off for the first Monday in November.  Adam Leiser makes a motion to update the dates to the first Friday in May and the first Monday in November.  Jay Buckley seconds.  Motion passed 3-0.    Jay Buckley makes a motion to eliminate $100 fine.  Motion failed for lack of a second.  Jay Buckley discusses billing.  Currently homeowners are billed following VDOE receipt of charges from the Water Operator. 

Adding “if work is completed” behind $50 is outlined for clarity.
