“For the last year and a half, it’s been a challenge to say the least. My number one priority is to build up the fund balance; the fund balance has depleted quite a bit over the last few years, and that makes it difficult to keep the taxes stable. So we’ve been creative in trying to build the fund balance up so we can maintain tax rates into the future,” Brescia said. “We also want to upgrade the sewage and water system in Lakeview Park; that’s a big challenge, since very little has been done there for the last 30 plus years. And we want to upgrade the town sewage system, which we need a plan for and get it done as soon as we can.”

“We’re prepared to choose an engineer to design our new treatment plant, which was built in 1998 and hasn’t been upgraded during that time,” Brescia said Aug. 4, discussing the town’s sewer projects. “The existing capacity will double to 300,000 gallons per day and will handle the town’s sewage needs decades into the future. Lakeview Park will also have a complete overhaul of its water and sewer systems, which are in disrepair and have had no upgrades since they were built in 1965.”
