The option on the O'Brien Bros, property for the disposal plant location was debated and Mr. Leo O'Brien was contacted and was asked to come to the meeting for further explanation of this plant site and option. Mr. Goodrich requested Mr. Leo O'Brien to include an additional approximate four acres of land on the north boundary of the plant site at no additional compensation. Mr. Leo O'Brien was to call the Town Manager or Mr. Goodrich in the next day or so after conversing with his brother Dan. The option papers were left with Attorney Mikell for any further corrections that might be needed. Letters from the Water Resourse Board addressed to the Prudential Committee of Fire District # 4 of July 22, 1962 were read. The Town Manager asked for a definite date for the acceptance and responsibility of the operation of the septer system. It was requested by the Town Manager to take over this system as soon as possible for full responsibility and maintenance. Augustus Stannard recommended to leave the maintenance and responsibility with Mr. Rock until July 1, 1964. Ralph Goodrich believed this would be a good time for the Town Manager to take over the responsibility and maintenance. The Chairman of the Board, D'Acuti and Stephen Whittlesey believed this should be done before this date and it was left with the Chairman of the Board, D'Acuti to contact Mr. Rock and report on the subject at the next meeting March 24, 1964. The Town Manager explained to the Board of Selectmen that Maurice Giroux of 1174 Williston Road has an intention of dismantling the existing residence and build a new house and office building on the present site. The Town Manager explained that the Town holds an easement for drainage through this property with the right to enter the property at any time for repairs and this house would be completely over the drainage pipe. It was tentatively agreed by the Board that if any damage to the property was caused from this drainage system that Mr. Giroux should sign a waver holding the Town of South Burlington harmless for any damage that might occur. The Town Manager presented to the Board tentative plans as prepared by Webster-Martin for sewer service to the properties on Williston Road in the rear of the buildings rather than running interceptor lines into Williston Road. The Board suggested to the Town Attorney that he draw up right of way forms and that the Town Manager would try and secure from the property owners right of way for the installation of this system to be installed as suggested by the Webster-Martin engineers. The Town Manager informed the Board that the engineers had completed their marking of the center line of the new cut off road to be completed by the State of Vermont from route 116 to U.S. 2. The Town Manager was instructed to do everything possible to get options for this right of way. Mr. Leo O'Brien, Town Representative, informed the Board that a special meeting had been set up with Mr. James Wood in Montpelier to go over the accelerated public works program. This meeting was to be held in Montpelier at 10:30 A.M. The Town Manager was instructed to attend this meeting and that as many of the Board members would also attend that could possibly make it as this was to be an informative meeting. The Board of Selectmen unanimously voted to continue holding their regular meetings on the first and third Tuesday of each month. Although the next meeting would be called for March 24, 1964. The Town Manager explained his visit with the National Survey for the publishing and printing of the new zoning map and presented the quotation for this work. The Town Manager was instructed to purchase 1,000 copies 17" x 22" map. The quotation of the 34" x 44" map was to be determined at a later date and at least three enlargements of the plastic sheet 34" x 44".
