School District Request for Reduction of Water Tap Fee: School district RE-3J Superintendent Suzie Townsend addressed the board requesting a reduction in the fee for a water tap. The water source is interruptible, non potable, and the tap fee was not included in the IGA were the reasons cited asking for consideration of the tap fee. Trustee Traxler stated that he felt a conflict of interest as he is employed by the school district, and abstained from voting on this issue. Mayor Kipp stated that this process had begun in November of 2006, and that many of the current participants were not part of the original negotiations, and there is no record of any previous agreements. The current fee for the requested one inch water tap is $12000.00. Mayor Kipp suggested that perhaps rather than a forgiveness of any fees, perhaps an increase in the approved tap size would better benefit the school district in the future, and suggested a tap size of two inches, for the fee of $12000.00.
