In a very brief public meeting held on December 14 before the town employees’ holiday party at the Cushing Community Center, the Marion Select Board approved the connection of Tabor Academy’s new Campus Center to town sewer.
The approval recommended by the Marion Department of Public Works is contingent upon three addendums: a 72-hour advance notice to the DPW for the start of work to connect to the sewer manhole at the site, that Tabor provides the DPW with field-observation notes in the form of full-record drawings as the connection is made and that Tabor restores any disturbed road or sidewalk or ground to the condition it was in prior to the work.
The third contingency came at the suggestion of Select Board member John Waterman, and Select Board member Randy Parker said it is an appropriate contingency for any such application. “Maybe it’s understood, but sometimes I find that you need to spell things out,” said Waterman.
All of the associated fees had already been paid by Tabor according to Town Administrator Jay McGrail.
The December 14 meeting was the last in 2021 for the Marion Select Board which typically meets on the first and third Tuesday of the month. The board did not schedule its first 2022 meeting at adjournment.
