PUBLIC COMMENT
Tom Keefer, owner of Burgers, Shakes and Cream, appeared before Council to restate his position in opposition of the proposed meals tax ordinance.
UPDATE ON SMOKE TESTING
Bill Gillespie, Town Manager, brought council up to date on the results of the smoke testing of the sanitary sewer system that the Public Works Director had informed council of at the last meeting. Mr. Gillespie stated that smoke testing proved that the significant increases in our flows during wet times last year were caused by the infiltration of ground water and water outside of what the system normally collects.
As a result of what happened last year, the town had to submit an action plan to DEQ of how we were going to deal with this increase in flow that happened. The action plan submitted said that the town would do the smoke testing to identify things like downspouts that are tied into the system, ground drains, or storm sewers that might be tied into the system. The smoke testing revealed several of these problems. The town plans to remove these problems and has filed this plan with DEQ.
Mr. Gillespie urged citizens that have downspouts that go into the ground to remove these as soon as possible noting that the town might have to take action in the future if the public fails to remove the downspouts voluntarily.

The Town of Brookneal will provide relocation assistance to each low/moderate – income household displaced by the demolition of housing or by the direct result of assisted activities. Such assistance shall be that provided under Section 104 (d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, or the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended.
