Possibly looking into Federal funding to add oil/water separators to roadways wh4ch presently do not have them. why ch discussion was held regarding money allocated to the Town for extra inspectors for the subdivisions. There will not be enough to cover the balance of FY'87 for subdivision inspections. Apparently requests are being made for inspections before the areas are ready to be inspected. The private consultant is contacted and paid for the entire day at an approximate cost to the Town of over $200.00 per day and the consultant ends up doing nothing because the site is not ready for inspecting. A suggestion was made to look into putting money into a revolving account for inspections.
