The CWD Auditor, Nick Henry,  advised that the District has underpaid the Town of Corinna for the employer share of Social Security.  Beginning in January of 2011, we have been reimbursing the Town 4.2% instead of 6.2% (which is the Employer’s Share).  The CWD trustees authorized that the amount owed be calculated and reimbursement be made to the Town of Corinna following the May 29, 2012 Meeting when the May 2012 CWD Warrant is approved.

 

The Board was informed by Chairman Louder that CWD has submitted an application for a Capacity Development Grant.  This Grant if awarded, will reimburse up to one half of the cost of mapping our Infrastructure.  This mapping is mandated by the Maine Public Utilities Commission and will cost between $3500 and $4000.
