Part: 1

1
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:26.520
So, it's 4:32 and I'm going to call the Sewer Commission meeting on May 5th 4:30 to order. I'm Brian Donahue. Bill Watson I. All right. So, uh we're going to

2
00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:43.960
table the make meeting minutes uh Elaine Fiore is unavailable tonight uh personal reasons. Okay. Um we have no appointments and no other things and no new business. Uh superintendent update. Yes, so it's been uh busy couple of

3
00:00:43.960 --> 00:01:00.360
weeks. It never seems to relax for us, but um everything's going well. All the lab results at the plant have you know on par with historical trends. It's It's everything's all good. Uh so, this week at the plant

4
00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:14.960
we are switching We typically run three tanks with the fourth tank as a spare. So, every 6 [clears throat] months or so we rotate the spare tank out, bring it back into service. Gives us a chance to look at the

5
00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:30.480
existing tank that we empty and make sure all the manifolds are fine, that nothing's loosened up on it, grease motors, check all the actuators, and also allow the tank that was sitting to become active again. So, nothing dries

6
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:47.120
up and and sits too long unused. So, we drained the tank down today. It's about half a million gallons in this tank. And we had it transferred over and into the other tank by about 2:00 in the afternoon. So, pretty productive day. Everything went

7
00:01:47.120 --> 00:02:04.200
well. Tomorrow we'll go go into the empty tank, start hosing it out, get all the rags off, clean it up. So, it usually takes another day or two of just clean up. Then next week once it has a few days to settle out and dry out, I'll go and

8
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:20.240
check all the fittings on it and bolts and make sure nothing's loosened up on it. So, that that was today's activity. Um we had a field trip from the Is it elementary? Yes, the first >> Kingston elementary first graders came

9
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:36.560
in today. So, they were able to see the police out front with the police dog. The fire department had an aerial lift. Highway department had some dump truck and another truck out there. The bush whacker was out there from the fire

10
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:51.200
department. And the kids went through pretty much every department in the townhouse and visited. So, we gave a little detail about, you know, what we do and showed them effluent coming into the plant and the effluent leaving the

11
00:02:51.200 --> 00:03:07.840
plant. Influent coming in, effluent leaving. And showed them a little video about the bugs that eat all the waste water. Genie had ordered some poop emoji key chains for them. So, we gave them that. Oh, the poop So, they they had fun fun today. It was it was very fun. So,

12
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:23.760
hopefully they'll do this each year with the new, you know, first graders coming in. Well, how many kids came to the office? It was a whole first grade from the all the elementary >> One class, right? But they divided into groups and just took three to five kids

13
00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:39.200
in each group quite a while. So, each one had a few minutes in each department. But they asked what our students They loved Dave's little um video he did. And um they were just really very well behaved and very

14
00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:55.600
interested in what was going on. Well, now that we have the weather in our favor, we can start having the adults do the same thing. Yeah. Just Yeah, a lot going to be going on this summer. Come on down for a tour, right? Yeah. Um so other than that, uh um the

15
00:03:55.600 --> 00:04:11.320
operator that was injured about 14 months or so ago came back yesterday on light duty, so he'll be light duty for the next month, maybe two. Um but it's great having an extra perfect not extra, but full staff again.

16
00:04:11.320 --> 00:04:27.640
Right. Uh so that's helping out, especially with all the things that we haven't been able to get to. So hopefully we can start getting on board with some of our to-do lists. Uh let's see. >> [sighs] >> Sludge contract is coming up, which is done every 3 years.

17
00:04:27.640 --> 00:04:42.440
Genie and I found the old contract, adjusted some of the dates and quantities on it. So um that's going to go through. We sent it to Scott, so he'll send it out to legal, have them look at it again, just make sure it's the same contract every 3

18
00:04:42.440 --> 00:05:00.680
>> This goes to Rhode Island somewhere? Yeah. So that's coming up. Um some good news. Uh I think it was last Monday morning, um I got a call from the highway department that they were going to pave a section of Country Club Way coming up

19
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:16.640
from Brook Street, and then looking at the club on the left and right-hand side. And we weren't sure about where our manholes were once you come off Country Club Way and start heading down towards Brook Street, we had no plan of where our manholes were, and none were

20
00:05:16.640 --> 00:05:33.200
visible. So the Thursday before, I actually found a set of plans from '05 that showed where our manholes were, and we went out and found them. They weren't in the road, they were on the grass easement area beside >> metal detector? Really, yeah. So we located every one of them except for

21
00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:48.880
one. Uh you got the metal detector and go find Yeah. So good news is we didn't have to go dig those up and try and raise them to grade and all that stuff. So Uh see some other uh, that have happened along the way.

22
00:05:48.880 --> 00:06:04.720
You have a TV camera in the back of the van? We have a push camera, yeah. I was just thinking about you probably going to uh find the other one just if you had a, Yeah, if we need to, you know, down the road, but certainly it's on the grass. >> big noise anyways, so That was a big

23
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:22.240
knowledge that I needed was, you know, it was a huge mystery for the past 11 years. >> probably back in the ground near it like a foot just to see >> We put some ties off of high tide and some other Okay. Thanks. So, yeah, we have that. Then I made it then extra coffee the plan I had. So,

24
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:37.600
there's one at the plant, one in our office. Uh, but Genie made the copies, so Uh, let's see what else. Uh, we're working on a new admin. Um, right now it's not official, but, uh, we've made a decision on who we want

25
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:52.760
to bring on board, so we're just going to work through some internal stuff. An official offer has to be given. So, soon we should have someone by beginning of June. Someone we know of? It's classified right now.

26
00:06:52.760 --> 00:07:09.040
They're in the negotiation. Yeah, I just don't want to make it public in in case it changes or something happens, but Genie and I were very impressed. Good. So, Um, we brought, um, Elaine in on the discussion and she was pretty impressed as well, so

27
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:23.600
other than that, um, I'm going to be on vacation the last week in May and the first week in April. So, I think Genie might have sent out an email about changing some of those, uh,

28
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:42.760
dates that we meet, but I won't be here for town meeting now that they changed town meeting. I come back on the 6th. The meeting's the 6th. June 6th? Yeah. And then, other than that, we've gone through the financials,

29
00:07:42.760 --> 00:07:58.440
which uh for 20 25 we had we had that all closed out recently and we found out we've got free cash of 560,000 for 22.

30
00:07:58.440 --> 00:08:15.280
How much? >> [laughter] >> So some of that is due to the fact that we had talked in article money. >> Yeah. So some of it's actually our money just coming back to us that was unspent. Nice surprise. So thing things are working out on the

31
00:08:15.280 --> 00:08:30.440
financial side based on all the revenue shortfall and betterment shortfalls we had with the raise in septage, the raise in rates, town contributions, everything else. Things are starting to settle down.

32
00:08:30.440 --> 00:08:48.160
So for FY26, so that was FY25. Um that money will roll into our FY26 budget and we've done our forecast revenue forecast for FY26. And it looks like we'll be in the positive

33
00:08:48.160 --> 00:09:05.560
for FY26 as well. And then we forecasted on FY27. I think you might have those in your packets. I did an Excel spreadsheet. So this week I printed those out I sent it out Wednesday.

34
00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:20.920
Oh okay. So this this information is so mega. I was very thorough. You did great. Oh yes. So we We're waiting for legal to come back about the separate leachate bill. Carol was saying that we probably don't need that.

35
00:09:20.920 --> 00:09:37.360
Um we changed some of the verbage on with the leachate bill and without the leachate bill. Um so it looks like we're ready to go. We didn't do the article for the 249,000 because we have the 560 that's coming

36
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:54.801
back to us as free cash. We're not going to even do that. So, is that free cash and associated with article money? So, what happened is there was um >> [clears throat and cough]

37
00:09:55.040 --> 00:10:10.960
>> it was voted on in 24 for the 370 and 411. And then it came what happened is the Kathleen, the accountant, put $300,000 in the uh >> Okay, yeah. operating budget. So, part

38
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:26.240
of that is the 300,000. Uh we had $111,000 left from the 411 that we took. Um and then the excess amount operating budget comes to the 560. Most of it was associated with an

39
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:44.080
article at some point. Yes. Okay. But, that's for another question coming up later. That's all. Okay. Any more? Uh Yeah, so the articles, those will be set up that if we need the um special article for the Legion Field.

40
00:10:44.080 --> 00:11:01.040
So, then these two budgetary articles, one with free web, one without. The blank is actually was waiting on to probably not but I think those are going through legal yet. So, then once legal looks at them and all the numbers are checked with finance

41
00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:15.360
Is there anything on >> department, we'll uh we'll know exactly how we stand with these but But, just thinking in terms of time meeting and the way it shifts it out a month >> [clears throat] >> I was having a we're going to have a change in Mhm.

42
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:32.400
membership yeah. membership and just having a chance to all get our ourselves lined up. It's a lot easier with the kind of situation we have now but this will be like for all of us, particularly you and Jean, just kind of give us some guidance as to when we

43
00:11:32.400 --> 00:11:48.160
should meet. Should be simple because cuz only a month away, you know? >> Yeah. And uh Okay. Okay. Great. And that schedule is going to be employed though. And then there would be one other items

44
00:11:48.160 --> 00:12:04.600
that caught Brian downstairs, shared it with him, but this is something Billy you might be aware of. You got uh So, we were looking to do a mock out >> This is really good news. Good. We were looking to do a mock out on Marion Drive for the gas company.

45
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:20.000
And as we were looking at this, I thought I saw this years ago, but on Marion Drive where they made that crossing underneath the railroad tracks for our force main coming up from Children's River

46
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:37.520
goes under the railroad tracks on Marion Drive. And then our effluent was sent back to the leaching because the same thing. >> Is that just the stream line or is it No, there's a jacking. There is an extra sleeve. Is there an extra pipe? >> Yeah. So, an actual pipe, yeah. Extra

47
00:12:37.520 --> 00:12:52.800
pipe and a big sleeve. 48 inches. So, very cool. There's a jacking sleeve under the train tracks. >> Yeah. 42-in sleeve and it says in that jacking sleeve, where is it?

48
00:12:52.800 --> 00:13:10.080
10-in duct line effluent force main and 8-in duct line force main to be installed inside 42-in steel sleeve by jacking. You can still walk through there? 10-ft by 20-ft jacking pit. >> yeah. These are as-built, right? Not just

49
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:24.400
conceptual plans. >> No, this is a thing. Record drawing and it actually has ties to a 4-in so, they laid an extra 4-in duct line and pipe in there. >> Duct line, nice. And stubbed it and it has the actual ties

50
00:13:24.400 --> 00:13:41.600
from the O'Donnell building east side and O'Donnell building, west side. And then it ties each one of those lines uh at least ties a 10 8 and 4 ductile bends off a utility pole. And uh

51
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:57.160
there's a catch basin, so there are a ties to it. So, it's got Is there pre- in that whole layout, is there pre-existing water line that's running under there as well, or no? You can see a water flowing in. I know the water department was Yeah. They probably sleeved everything they

52
00:13:57.160 --> 00:14:13.240
could. I remember the water department was 7-something contracted. They They wanted to jack that. It proved They didn't know they had a water They didn't get it pre-sleeved. They didn't know they didn't know they had a sleeve and they didn't do it cuz I do not

53
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:31.040
see any For some reason they wanted to bring a water up there. They did all the work here. They did a lot of them. Yeah. That project Okay. No, this is very good. And that that property has to have water to it. Yeah. Yeah. So, somehow they either So, there must

54
00:14:31.040 --> 00:14:46.800
be already a water line from one way or the other. No, but you it doesn't go into the out of the traction. It definitely comes from the north side. There was a loop there. Oh, yeah. So, it could come off the end Yeah, it's going to cuz I We know there's a water line that's parallel to

55
00:14:46.800 --> 00:15:02.560
our easement up there. I think it could be cuz they wanted to put a bigger main in. Yeah. Whatever their issue was. That's definitely a loop through. on the left side. But in any event, they could put a They could put a 12-in water line in that sleeve, and we could have another We had used a 4-in, so we could

56
00:15:02.560 --> 00:15:18.560
put a 8-in pipe pipe and take the 4-in out, and there's still enough room to crawl through. And that that fits a big sleeve. I mean, it's Maybe that thing was the fact you know, whether they used to put them all in the same sleeve. I tried this somewhere else. But you can't you Can't you sleeve

57
00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:35.720
double sleeve it? I mean, if we have an drill can't you just sleeve that pipe and sleeve that pipe and then inside of the larger pipe move same thing as being in the ground. We were going to use the one and only washer for both. So I So then I ended up digging all the way to Main Street. An expensive connection, so. I I think that

58
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:51.240
was the problem is they couldn't use the same sleeve. For the the water and sewer. I don't know why that would be an issue. Usually what they do is that the water is above sewer. It's up. But they have to be separated cuz otherwise you Well, that we can talk about that later.

59
00:15:51.240 --> 00:16:07.280
But that's actually on here cuz it's this is the net. You want to one of Does that have to show that the intersection down the end of the street here, does it? Main Street. Where Summer Street goes underneath the Evergreen. Oh, yeah, yeah. Not on this

60
00:16:07.280 --> 00:16:23.080
contract. It'd be on a different contract. >> Cuz I know I know way back in the beginning that Kyle Abbott said, "Well, I want a sleeve." You know, a sleeve under that road. And they never put it For some reason they they never prepared any place. Cuz when the we wanted to do the

61
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:39.560
sewer line, we had to go through between the two buildings, King Sheet Metal and the Yeah. Automotive. We had to go there and jack under. Mhm. I thought originally that they had when they did that, before they did the railroad, we they had put sleeves in there for us to you know, for the sewer department and

62
00:16:39.560 --> 00:16:55.760
the water department, but nobody seems to show that. Yeah, I don't know, but it does seem like down on Puddle Street that it cuts across. It goes up up and then it cuts across it. But originally when before they finished the track, they had put sleeves underneath

63
00:16:55.760 --> 00:17:12.079
it. Oh, okay. But they were they were supposed to At Summer Street? Yes. Okay. On Summer Street itself. But anyway, that I don't know. I don't come across that. Just double-check and see if that agrees with that, but Another area I looked at was where the cross country line comes from Rocky Nook and across

64
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:28.280
the tracks down by the trolley Yep. near that pump station. And that had a jacket sleeve in it, so Is it being used? Yeah, we have a We have a line coming for our cross country line back that way. But I thought I'd share that

65
00:17:28.280 --> 00:17:45.040
with you. That's very good, yeah. Yeah, if there's any development in the other definitely gives us some options. Mark, how come you didn't know that was there? Where? How come you didn't know that was up there, those sleeves? I wasn't sure it was there and we got mixed messages. You know more than I do.

66
00:17:45.800 --> 00:17:59.920
You weren't really thinking about this stuff a lot back then, just for this reason. Yeah, there was a lot of foresight on what may come down the road. And while you're at it, why not, right? Yeah, cuz when the T was coming in, they asked they asked everybody what

67
00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:16.880
do you want before we close this up and make it permanent. >> Okay. I was working on the T um the extension to Scituate extension at the same time putting in the whole thing. And I was like going nuts cuz the T was

68
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:32.280
trying to fight putting sleeves in and I'm saying, "No, no, no." So I can [clears throat] sit with right at the Cohasset line. Scituate didn't have sewers that far up. I said, "No, no, we're going to sewers here eventually." But all the sleeves we can cuz Cohasset has sewers but they were trying to fight it and then Scituate didn't have them.

69
00:18:32.280 --> 00:18:47.240
Now they just expanded Scituate like by 50%. But I said, "We don't put them in now, they'll never put any in there." Oh, yeah. Cuz they're all up there it's all ground water, shallow, it's it's amazing. Did you did you read the article about North Scituate? Yeah. The the town approved a 50

70
00:18:47.240 --> 00:19:10.680
58 million 58 million dollar expansion of this of North to North Scituate. Okay. They approved it. Interesting time that was. Okay, uh what else? Let's see. That's it other than this coming

71
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:27.360
Thursday there's a up by Smith Lane with Highway 5 that talked about both of them North Road. We were supposed to meet months ago and they delayed it, so Roundabouts. Yeah. Okay, so um next on the agenda is the Miramar

72
00:19:27.360 --> 00:19:44.840
project update. And we got final comments back from town council. This is this is. This this is. And um I looked at this and uh maybe you had a chance.

73
00:19:44.840 --> 00:20:02.400
Um we got to move this thing along cuz the getting the getting CDM started is really a critical path right now. Getting them the front That's why I asked the question about the money we had available. This is the only source of revenue we're going to have to get CDM going.

74
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:19.560
Uh so my only comment that I saw that stood out is the the very end. I think the language that we didn't have that we had last meeting was accurate accurate.

75
00:20:19.560 --> 00:20:35.920
It picked up everything but there's a uh uh exhibit B. The language still reflects um but actually this is a comment. It doesn't reflect the changes we made

76
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:55.040
up in front. Am I reading this right? It still has the 50% as opposed to 75. Am I reading that right? It's the last page. Mhm. Yeah. It's fixed up front but it's not fixed in the exhibit. But this is um it's all red it out. I'm not sure if that's

77
00:20:55.040 --> 00:21:10.720
what she was trying to say is that they took it out. But just so that that's reflected in the comments. It'll probably should ask see if Elaine has any comments on this gene just to see Mhm. If we were to meet

78
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:29.760
today on this See what I'm saying. David says uh The numbers are right except for the deposit of 50% should be 75 which is reflected up front. And you see that up front cuz I'm seeing on uh And [clears throat] up front >> page 2.6

79
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:47.480
Yes, the initial payment. See under 2.4 it now says 75%. Right. So it's changed. Okay. Okay. Yeah, so that can So it didn't get carried over to that exhibit. I think this is a you know, it's a housekeeping thing. The only other thing Gene is title five.

80
00:21:47.480 --> 00:22:10.840
This is a big thing. Title V is not correct. It's title five, number five. >> Yes, they have that. It's I'm looking at and the definitions allocate it says it's just title five. B Um It should be It should be title D,

81
00:22:10.840 --> 00:22:30.625
right? Title five. The title with a number. Take the V out. The number >> The number five. Number five, right? The number five and the old one's here. Those are the That's minor alteration. It's a big thing. So that exhibit B for I and 75% then that should It's 75%

82
00:22:30.625 --> 00:22:54.080
[clears throat] now. 4,090 Right. thousand Yeah, so it's exactly what we changed up in the beginning, yeah. Yeah 4,090,000 deposit plus engineering. So those are just

83
00:22:54.080 --> 00:23:09.680
housekeeping things, not so much >> Yeah. But otherwise I think everything that I could see but we were doing this twice. Is that then uh Do you Do you want vote on this this evening? Uh we'll you want to vote on this this evening to keep going forward or I think that's probably a good idea

84
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:25.640
to get it back to town council because we're going to talk about another thing that's going to need to be talked about. And they can't do that without this. So I mean I mean I would be I could vote on it tonight and I unless you have another meeting next

85
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:42.080
week. This is actually my last meeting. I think you're right, so. All right. You want to do Do this tonight? >> do it now. Let's do it now. Uh You want to test the motion first to accept this or I'll entertain a motion to accept the sewer connection billing agreement

86
00:23:42.080 --> 00:23:58.400
for the Miramar project as amended by town council and and the sewer commission at our last meeting be approved. I'll second that. Okay. Any discussion? All in favor say aye. >> Aye. Aye. Opposed? Unanimous.

87
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:13.560
Perfect. Okay. And we can move that ahead. And then the other just And there's anything related to that Do you need to be done in the future, Mike? Jump in on that. Related to that is is the CDM agreement

88
00:24:13.560 --> 00:24:30.160
that is now before town council also. That's the $100,000 stipend that we're holding up. That's part of it. It's in this agreement. It's written in this agreement also and referenced in this agreement when we get it voted on. But it says it's the specific

89
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:45.960
agreement between uh CDM and us to cover that $100,000. [clears throat] Okay. And the $100,000 will come from the Miramar project directly into our bank account before anything starts. So

90
00:24:45.960 --> 00:25:01.960
we'll have all the funds we need to move forward. And so Do you need a motion or do you need to vote on that at all? Uh I think we need to we need to get it back from CDM from town council, so that's that's why I'm holding that open, but we can hopefully

91
00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:17.920
after this meeting we can just have a quick check with uh CDM and town council and me. I know they have it. I know everything's been done as far as sending the billing. >> he had said that Carol is working on it. And she's been in contact.

92
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:35.120
Okay. So, just to tie those two pieces together, so that's good. Do we do we think that we might want to have a meeting on the 12th? I don't know. You know, We can link it up at any time. Yeah. Let's let's Up until the 16th. If Let's

93
00:25:35.120 --> 00:25:51.360
uh Just do we get But I'm done on the 16th. Well, >> Election Day. I believe that the meeting I think is that work for everybody? If just tentatively set up a meeting for 4:30 on the 12th. Just to cover all because this is very important we get this thing approved.

94
00:25:51.360 --> 00:26:07.920
And we don't know what's going to happen necessarily on the Thursday. So, let's do that. >> And we'll see it changing in the future with another round of board members. Hm? I don't We'll see it changing with another board member when you when you work with them. I'm just I want to make sure we get it

95
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:25.520
signed. Just stay on the schedule. Okay. So, we got it. Okay. Cuz then we'll have a new select new selectman or whatever. It's all different things. Okay. So, 5:12 we're going to set up a um a uh I'll do that later. So, 5:12 we'll set up an a meeting for 4:30 just as a

96
00:26:25.520 --> 00:26:42.120
placeholder. Okay. And then uh Okay. So, uh That I think that wraps that up. There'll be nothing else. Uh Environmental expansion project update,

97
00:26:42.120 --> 00:26:57.800
design contract. This uh What we just talked about? But the wording is weird to me. I wonder if that was just in relation to the overall objectives that included going out to like Millgate,

98
00:26:57.800 --> 00:27:13.440
future development of the wastewater system. Cuz it's once we get the CDM going cuz they're going to go great guns fast to get this thing going. Um So some of that will be based off of what happens with the rest of the stuff.

99
00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:28.920
But let me go back to what Bill said earlier about that sewer um notice that was in the Jason Well, so sewer news, I just there's a record point. Um we need to do similar kind of press

100
00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:45.480
releases with you know, the kind of things we're doing. What they did is took uh an announcement that they were awarded SRF money and they made a announcement so that the public gets a sense of you know, we're doing our job, they're doing their job. They have big amounts of money, but that's all going to be funded the same way ours are

101
00:27:45.480 --> 00:28:02.059
funded by the federal government, so mostly. Yeah. Um and in their case, a lot of it's town's actually and we're going to be faced with the same situation, but the fact that it's out there is we're doing what has to be done the big these big capital projects.

102
00:28:02.059 --> 00:28:15.920
>> [snorts] >> And I know the selectmen met on that. They didn't talk about sewer necessarily, but mostly the uh highway department. But it's given that kind of information to the public to know you know, a lot of money being spent, but we got a lot of ways to get it

103
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:34.040
through funding outside of tax rate. Right. And we're going to have a big issue with the water the water system. So just as a kind of a placeholder put it on the minutes. Uh town allocated costs So this is something with um with all

104
00:28:34.040 --> 00:28:48.360
the preparation for uh town meeting and not having the chance to really dig into with the change in the finance director that um we didn't get a chance to really

105
00:28:48.360 --> 00:29:03.840
dig into the town allocated costs this year. So um myself and Bob Arlington and Scott sat down and discussed that we want

106
00:29:03.840 --> 00:29:18.600
we're going to sign off on the town allocated costs for FY27 with the placeholder in there that we want to after town meeting sit down and have the opportunity to come up with a written

107
00:29:18.600 --> 00:29:35.640
agreement on what's, you know, fair as town allocated costs and then have the ability to get rebate if necessary or if applicable for our FY27 costs. And at least look at that going forward, have a written and

108
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:51.120
and discussion with different departments involved to see what really town allocated costs should be. Right. And we could visit it on a yearly basis and just take it year by year. So, if there's any year that we have an extreme burden on a

109
00:29:51.120 --> 00:30:07.480
different department if we're bringing in a whole whole load of assessments that need more manpower from the assessor's department for betterments one year that, you know, that year they should get more help from us. And if it's a year that everything's on autopilot and all they have to do is hit

110
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:23.360
a button then we should get some sort of reduction in expense from that department. So, just to keep everything fair and on the up and up. So, there's some items we want to visit. But with everything else going on, we we agreed to just put it off till

111
00:30:23.360 --> 00:30:38.720
we're potentially thinking mid-June to meet up and start discussions. On the related subject, I know we had dealt when we were doing our fees and our betterment uh last summer getting all that ready. The issue with town building turns is

112
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:55.120
only back in time that coming up for the committee. I know we think a fix it going forward, correct? And that's part of this equation too, the discussion is that fixed as far as work's concerned, is that fixed that we're getting it appropriately? Is paid

113
00:30:55.120 --> 00:31:11.640
by the water rate? All the town buildings that are being billed for water and sewer are on. Okay. They're being billed. But I'm going backwards there was still a number a lot of unanswered questions about all that

114
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:28.160
that I think have not been re- have not been resolved. Um I know we did some numbers. It's a big number going back 20 years. And I want to bring it up because it could fit right into this discussion you're having, you know, this

115
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:43.451
we're taking a hit potentially we've taken a pretty good hit in the past and we should be getting credit for that somehow. Not that we want to get a million dollars next year, but that that factors in so that we make ourselves whole accounting wise. And we can show our customers

116
00:31:43.451 --> 00:31:58.560
[clears throat] that we're doing that. Cuz otherwise they're paying for it. So we we uh we had a discussion today with uh finance director, acting finance director, Carol. And one of the

117
00:31:58.560 --> 00:32:14.080
discussions was we want to look back at our whole betterment schedule from the beginning of time through. So some of the problem we've had internally is just finding the time to address some of these issues. >> Right. And now that Carol's back on

118
00:32:14.080 --> 00:32:30.520
board, I think it'll Well, that and having another admin to help out with some of the day-to-day stuff so Genie and I can concentrate on the the bigger picture stuff. We just you know, we've been drowning in other things at this point. But that's it's on the radar. We have what we discussed

119
00:32:30.520 --> 00:32:48.680
probably 20 different things that we want to look at. And big picture items like that that specifically account for everything from the beginning of time. So, we have a nice cohesive uh idea of of what the revenue was from the beginning of time and was it all

120
00:32:48.680 --> 00:33:04.520
collected as it should have been and all billed as it should have been. That's That's That's cuz I don't want to We're not losing it cuz it's This is the time. We got everybody's attention, you know, between your advocacy for this whole issue and now the water department's weighing in on it. It's a perfect time to straighten it

121
00:33:04.520 --> 00:33:20.320
all out. And make it whole. Revenue from power purchase. And that's That's another one. >> Be on your list. Yeah. That they might understand. Right. Yeah. I don't know. To that point, Genie had gone out for training on the MUNI software and looked

122
00:33:20.320 --> 00:33:36.320
at some of the potential ideas that we can use MUNI software to help kind of quantify and encapsulate all our data instead of having it on different spreadsheets here and there. That's crazy. I mean, it's just I don't know how you I don't know how

123
00:33:36.320 --> 00:33:51.520
anyone figures it out just the way it is now. So, we had a really good meeting with them. They came through the computer and gave us a demo of how we can put all of our assets on preventive maintenance

124
00:33:51.520 --> 00:34:08.639
and tie it in with an overlay with GIS. Um so, I thought it was a great module. We'd be able to do a lot of detail and it's to me at our fingertips. Um And yeah, part of that too would be able

125
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:25.040
to quantify our existing customers, how many ERUs they've purchased, and also what's available still to to sell. So, you know, it it'll give us a way to actually quantify everything instead of trying to say, "Well, geez, we got four

126
00:34:25.040 --> 00:34:41.040
more this year. How many did we get last year?" This would be at the touch of your fingertips. You know exactly how much capacity you still have available. Good. And and bring on customers that will back everything. And we also have a meeting next week

127
00:34:41.040 --> 00:34:56.679
with Verizon. The municipal representative from Verizon came in and by chance I saw them because we had an increase in our bills and and I got the email on the phone so they also do a similar product and they work with Granite

128
00:34:56.679 --> 00:35:12.760
Communications so we're going to see what Verizon has to say and get the pricing back from Tyler Tech and just see where we're at what would fit best for us. There's a bunch of different options out there so just kind of research and where

129
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:28.000
is your value going to come from which product. But this is this is all good news you know good and focus and keeping on that level you know having a new admin person will be excellent to have too what we tried to do

130
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:46.520
a year ago so Uh anything more on that? I think. So the last item is staffing do we already pretty much start? So yeah the I think I had mentioned that our person that was out for a shoulder injury came back on light

131
00:35:46.520 --> 00:36:02.880
duty just yesterday. So that will help us out you know we really needed some assistance and even if it's just cover the lab stuff and lighter duty stuff uh we can free up bodies to staff and do some of the other maintenance issues we have

132
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:19.200
just day-to-day things that that will pop up that's been tough to uh to get ahead on anything we've just been kind of going through our day-to-day necessities but not not getting a lot of PM stuff done above and beyond our normal routines and there's some long-term

133
00:36:19.200 --> 00:36:39.680
stuff asset protection stuff that we didn't get to do this that we're hoping as we get to a full staff we'll be able to get out on some of these projects. Two real quick things. One is um on what we just voted on. This uh

134
00:36:39.680 --> 00:36:55.320
agreement uh I think we need to So, well, let's just just um it wasn't on the agenda per per se but fact of the selectmen are going to talk about this at their meeting Thursday.

135
00:36:55.320 --> 00:37:11.840
One or more of us should be there, I think. That would be >> Elaine said she would be able to be there at 4:30, I think. All right. And if you can find from Scott anybody to give us a heads-up about the any more background of that. Cuz they need this document. So, Tina,

136
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:27.000
I'm going to ask you and we get this in a final form for them to sign if it comes to that. We'd like to get that resolved Thursday hopefully. Um Is this our selectman or Duck River

137
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:43.800
selectman? Our selectman. >> Our selectman. Okay. Yeah. We can do it I think. I just sent to you. Yeah. >> I'll work with Elaine because she's been Yeah. I'll make the comment and just say we would like to have this back from the Eagles so that we can have it

138
00:37:43.800 --> 00:38:00.000
signed by Thursday. >> Yeah. Yeah. Just just to coordinate that so we don't have a draft document like this. >> Yeah. If we can help it. And then um and then they have to get the $100,000 one. That's a that's that is important but it's a it'd be nice to have the whole package ready to go talk about.

139
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:14.920
I'm just thinking in terms of preparing for the meeting um that we are ready to first of all that we're we're going in there it's a more of a discussion and then sign it. Uh it's not

140
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:30.320
a delay but in that kind of a delay cuz we have it's a critical path item for us. And they in terms of getting the budget done and the agreement that the project proponent will have

141
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:48.080
that cash coming into our account is 5 days from when they sign this. So, we're not even there yet. And we did talk to Carol today in regard to how this money we wanted to be handled on an unrestricted basis. So, we

142
00:38:48.080 --> 00:39:04.560
did have that conversation. And we talked about how this should have been probably out of phase one, phase two. Um And just talked a little bit about that and how we what we want to be able to do with that money.

143
00:39:04.560 --> 00:39:21.480
And then having it having it accounted for going on now that in the future like has been done for part of it is fine. We have a couple years of um a lot of work going on that I think that's exactly what we should be, not all of it going in one place. It's

144
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:38.960
Right. Um Okay. Um I think that was the only other point that uh Will anyone have anything? Uh anyone else? No, I'm good. >> So, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.

145
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:46.320
>> a motion to adjourn. Second that. All in favor say aye. >> Aye. Opposed? Unanimous. Great.
