Means commented on Section 115-8 of the grading ordinance entitled Expiration of Grading Permit. Every Grading Permit shall expire and the limitation shall become null and void if the permit has not commenced within 6 months or has not been completed within 2years from the date of issue provided that the governing body may extend the time. Per the discussion regarding grading permit of 8 years ago, if the board has not extended the permit it is no longer in effect.
Valois questioned the expenses related to this building now that there is a rental agreement. For example, the furnace needs repaired, how should the voting be handled. Means stated that normally things do not come to board to vote for normal maintenance unless it is an item that needs to addressed by the board. If an item appears on the list of bills that is part of that area, then it is suggested to point that item out before voting on the list of bills and have a separate motion for that item.
