The Lee Town Board held a Special Meeting to discuss the water invoice from the City of Rome, and act on recent paving bid, amongst other agenda items and was called to order at 6:00 PM.

Present were:  Supervisor John Urtz, Councilmen Karl Matt, Alan Trombley, and Harold VanWagenen.  

Unable to attend:  Councilman Kevin Gallagher

Also present: Highway Superintendent, Bill Baker

Supervisor Urtz stated that at April’s regular Board meeting, it was voted to not pay the City of Rome Water bill due to not having a contract.  Mr. Urtz said he has had a conversation with the engineer Jack Dodson that a contract is forthcoming for Town review.  Based on that information, Mr. Urtz recommends payment be made on the old contract rate of $1.90 per thousand.  A motion was made by Karl Matt, seconded by Alan Trombley and carried to pay at the old contract rate (2007-2010) of $1.90/1000 not the $2.93 which is what we were last charged.
