The Chairman reviewed the existing Sewage Disposal System Ordinance with the members and individuals in attendance at the Committee Meeting.
He indicated that the Ordinance required an upgrade by the Department of Health pursuant to the need for a permit to connect power to residential and commercial structures when the unit changed ownership or occupancy.
Juror John Humble, Sr., expressed an interest in assisting those with rental properties where only occupancy changes and not ownership.
The Committee recommended requesting Legal Counsel provide alternative language in the provision requiring a permit in cases where there were changes in occupancy only.
