My question is whether you would like HCCC and/or ShoreBank staffto present this issue to you at your BaCC Meeting, or if you feel that is unnecessary and you are familiar enough with this issue to approve it without us there. Please let me know your preference, we will accommodate whatever is desired. I have also provided draft resolution language to all 5 governments so that forthcoming approval resolutions will be similar (this was requested at the March 21 HCCC Board meeting.) I have worked with your BaCC administrative staff to get the Interlocal Agreement and Program Guidelines for the ShoreBank septic loan program on the April 3 Bacc meeting agenda for your approval.
