There had been dissatisfaction with the unslightly appearance of the streets when renters or property owners failed to return trash carts to their original positions after they were emptied. The town board requested that Chambers replace the carts, and was told there would be an additional charge of $10,000 per year for that service. "What you're saying is that what's in the contract is not all you want done." McCarthy told the board Tuesday.

Bullinglon said she didn't consider they had done more than fulfill the contract in cleaning up litter along the road. "We thought roadside pickup meant walking along the road, cleaning up litter, even things that blow away into a fence," she explained. Fox added. "We talked about this in great detail when we signed the contract, about our problem areas that we wanted cleaned." McCarthy said, "Service is all we have to sell. We want to please you." Commissioners Fox and Terry Barbee will meet with him to work out a compromise on the problems.

Fox asked that the building inspector inform property owners about their responsibilities in regard to the new sewer system. She and Barbie both noted that there is misunderstanding about who connects the house to the system. Roberson said, "The $900 tap-on fee pays only for a pipe bringing the sewer line to within a foot of the property line. The property owner is responsible for having a line run from the house to that tapon." Gurganus asked that the board consider liability insurance for police officers. He said the present coverage for the board costs $649 per year, and additional coverage for all employes would mean an increase of $226 per year. The board voted to buy the insurance pending apprc.va! by the town attorney.
