In an effort to expedite these requests in a timely manner, Legislator Pinto stated that, in addition to a letter being forwarded to the County Executive when this Committee approves an item, a letter will also be forwarded to the municipality.  The letter will advise them of the Committee’s approval and an Outline of Procedure Adding and Removing Parcel to/from a County Sanitary Sewer District will be enclosed. 

It was also agreed that sewer district modification referrals will now include the address of said parcel/parcels whenever possible on the agenda because of increasing multiple requests from municipalities.
