Review of Sewer District Articles for 2006 Annual Town Meetinq. Department of Public Works
Director Jeff Willett addressed the Town article regarding corrections and additions to established
sewer districts and then reviewed the citizen articles in turn. He noted that he had no objection to
the two Monomoy articles in light of the relationship to protecting the harbor and residents Billy
Willet and Lynn Zimmerman spoke in support of these. Chairman Glowacki indicated "surprise at
Town staff recommendation" for support of changes to the sewer district and noted the need to
consider sewer district definitions and history of Nantucket Land Council advocacy.
