Section 6 of the new ordinance states that we need a dedicated account for the sewer lateral money. Section 7 states that Wilbur Park will pay $2500 for repairs. Section 10 states that Wilbur Park can opt to pay up to $20,000 per year for additional sewer lateral funding. The additional funding is at the Board’s discretion.
Bob said it’s just back luck if your sewer lateral in is the street. Residents are responsible for what is in front of their house.
JC said it is luck or bad timing when your sewer lateral claim is made.
Heidi thinks we should put limit on road funds.
Bob said Wilbur Park residents should have notified all of the residents before we vote on this Sewer Lateral change.

Heidi had a resident ask if a resident can run an Air BNB out of their homes. Since you would need an occupancy permit every time the residents change, is it not feasible. JC said our homes are deemed as Single Family Residents. Long-term renters are ok, but not short-term
