Good afternoon. I'm now going to call the Wednesday, August 6th, 2025 meeting of the North County Commissions to order. I'm going to read the executive order on remote participation. On March
26, 2025, Governor Healey signed into law House Bill 62, an act relative to extending certain COVID 19 measures adopted during the state of emergency, which includes a two-year extension of the option for
public bodies to hold remote meetings by suspending certain provisions of the mass open meeting law. Mass General Law Chapter 30A sections 18 through 25. That action was effective immediately extending current option for remote meetings through June
30th, 2027. Thank you. If you could stand and join me in saluting the flagg of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you.

Number five, appointments. Patrick Higgins, County Surveyor Department report. Patrick, come up in the Oh, boy. the big seat here. There we go. Commissioners, in your packet, hot off the press is a report
dated August 4th from Patrick Higgins County Surveyor regarding North County Engineering Department list of projects as of 84 2025. Patrick, you have the floor. Hello. Good afternoon, Commissioner Sor.
Great. You good? Uh so I was asked to just uh make a punch list uh alphabetically and listed out the municipal projects we've been working on. It's been uh over a year and a half or so since I've been in to talk about projects. So I listed all alphabetically by town and and just kind of give you a
heads up on the different towns we've touched uh touched on and the projects for and and what the status is whether they're active, ongoing uh uncompleted. Some of the projects are listed twice because we did like initial surveying and mapping for base plans and they went
to design and then so that's completed. Um and then we've come back like during either construction or after construction to give additional support as needed to uh lay out or reset property owners that would or things that were disturbed during construction. So it's it's kind of like multi-phase.
Um I can either go through the some of the bigger projects we're working on that are active. Um but so I listed out each town uh first that they're working in and then uh there's a list of county projects that work in in-house for our own um like Denim District Court uh
Brookline District Court uh the agricultural high school uh at the Hilltop Farm and the rear of the um agricultural high school and and a couple small projects on there that we did like a year ago. And then I listed out um petitions that
we've had for discontinuences which if you're well aware we did two in the last two years for Page Street on the east side and one on the west side of um on route 24 in in Stoton. the page street that's complete. Um and then a couple of
uh every year we have a slew of mass DOT um filings that that we handle and then research and and and other um projects that come in from the public and private entities any um I would say the most active projects we have right now is Oakland Street in
Milis. Um that's a little bit over a mile long. It goes from uh Main Street, Route 109 to Village Street with retracing the rightway and doing a full topographic detail for them to have for future improvements and paving and drainage improvements on that. Um
what was I'm sorry that Grove Oak Road Oakland Street and Milis Oakland said Oakland Street. That's been ongoing. We're we're the fieldwork is pretty much done. We're in the drafting stage those plans. That's a large project.
Uh in in in Milis as well, last fall we finished um the Medway Community Farm did a 15acre survey, boundary survey, topographic detail survey so they can use for conservation filing. Um that's gone through they've been able to build a pavilion in a new restroom on site due
to the survey and they going to put on file with the D a conservation plan so they can work on site without having to file a permit every time through conservation. Um and then their future plans to put a barn on site. So we've helped them try to locate where to place the barn. Um the one that was the hot
spot about a year ago was the uh DOA DBW where they had flooding. Um so we we stopped all projects at that time uh a year ago fall to get in and and do the survey for them which was a boundary survey and a topographic existing condition survey. Gave it to the
designers. They had failed on-site drainage infiltration system and they wanted to replace this whole shed. So the the plans were used to design new uh drainage drainage repair which they just completed construction recently and they already replaced this whole shed. So they that was a pretty pretty involved
uh project. Um active projects also going we're switching over to Milis. We're going to be doing a boundary survey for a section of uh the Oakrove Farm uh along opposite Orchard Street between Ridge and Exchange just because they have a a
handful of butters that are may possibly been leaving organic matter and other things on the farm. So, we're going to do a boundary survey and and uh put some fence post in to remind people where the boundary line is because it's really not demarked right now. No fence or anything. There's no stone wall this
like field open field. So we'll be working on that. Um and then we have a request that I'll bring to you next week in Milis as well right down the street on ridge in Auburn at the Prospect Hill Cemetery. They want us to do some mapping of the interior roadways. Um and
in the label where the different sections are in the cemetery so they can use it as a schematic map so people can find where the interments are. They don't currently have a map that shows the sections. So they have people have a hard time finding the Really? Yeah. So we we we done we did something
similar over in Dober and then when we were talking to the people in Mil said, "Oh, well if you did help DOA, could you help us?" So that's how word of mouth gets around between the DPW. So yeah. Um and then uh let's see, one of one of
the projects I haven't really talked about, but I've been having the the youngest member of the team uh Patrick Rockwell has been working uh countywide. Uh we have the one town left to do is Brookline and we've gone through and at least at least two um new uh uh control
points in each town that are occupied uh with static GPS global positioning systems and it's a part of the National Geodetic Survey nationwide uh GPS on benchmarks to make sure that all throughout the county we have random points in each town or a couple it could
be two to four points in each town. So when they're in the process of developing a new uh vertical datim nationwide and through the globe and I want to make sure that all the a lot of the older control points aren't on GPS they're on like uh from like 1929 or 27
83 and 88 but like we have new new geoid models of the earth and things like that. So I they've requested that the um states and counties and towns if they can add these resources and basically it's a 4hour occupation. You send the data into national genetics survey they
add it to the database which is published on a GIS website at their level and at the master level. So people will have access to these points to help do surveys in the future and have for like FEMA flood control maps and it's benchmarks like that for elevation
certifications. Um so Patrick is winding down the field work and then we'll be publishing all the data to NGS uh in the next month or two. Um and then it's it's uh you're going to see a heavy right now when you go on the um GIS at NGS is random old a lot of old control points
you're going to see a flurry of activity is all the towns going to have at least two to four new ones added in which usually they're getting disturbed by construction or wiped out during renovations of uh long roadways and things like that. There's not a lot of remonumentation. So we worked on I thought it was important to be part of this project for the county to kind of
make sure that the reference frame that they use for the datam is representative of what's actually on the ground in North County. So can I ask a question? Sure. you mind state right on point. Someone had reminded me of the most random thing that many years ago when I served as a
select board member. I actually took part in what was called the walking of the bounds and metulate the I met with the neighbor in Stoton and neighbor and I actually reverified that this is where the boundary marker was. That make sense? So is that supposed to
be done every 20, every 30, 50 years? Every 5 years a premulation is supposed to be done in conjunction with bordering towns. It's on the still on the state statutes. Okay. And they used to call it the old school was the beating of the bounds. Yeah. But they used to walk in and and everybody would walk so that everybody
would know where it was. And a lot of times what a lot of towns do is they'll get pennies from the year they walk it and they'll chew gum stick it on the side. So when they they can go back and always know what year they would last there. So you'll see a bunch of pennies and that once the gum is stuck in it
dries like cement instead of like defacing it but it's they used to paint with big numbers the year and then instead you'll see a lot of places they use pennies now and uh so my point to my point then does um do the county engineers get involved with that too. So, we get involved twofer.
We get involved more so when people can't find the corners or they've been disturbed or wiped out or need to be reset after maybe there's construction or um we've a couple that we've I know I've been involved in resetting that um were along stream beds and got washed down
during floods and things and then we've had to reset them back in place. Okay. With cement using comealongs and things like that because they're pretty large stones. That's great. We we do have a history of when there were questions and we provide the data in the locations in um state
plan coordinates to the state. So any place like where Joan Pink was at work before any place where we did work on town lines we provided it to Mass GIS and to mass dot and a lot of the monuments or the townline corners are updated in the mass have the corners in in North County that have been updated
cuz most of the coordinates are from latitude longitude from the land and homic commission analyses that are from the late 1800s early 1900s when they set that most of the corners and those are on two at least two to three it was on the US standard data
that was from the 1880s. So we it's the ladder was approximate. So using GPS and modern day it instead of being plus or - 9 ft or 10 ft, we've got it down within like a tenth of a foot or a couple inches. Wow. So great.
Yeah. So we have the ability to to assist with that. And when towns have a question or they think um they're looking at subdivision plans and they question where the town line is depicted on the plans, they might request the commandments and ascertain where the town line is to either support or or
suggest a better way to show it on the plans. So a little bit too much detail maybe sorry about but we'd be happy if you have any further questions. I just want to give you an overview what we're working on. Um, we're we're pretty much I know Commissioner St was concerned about the
volume. I'll bring one more project next week. Um, and then I think we're good for a while. I think we're at full saturation until we finish some project and get them more off the shelf. Just trying to protect everybody. Yeah. No, everybody's I like busy is good and then uh Yeah. Plus, you have a list of all the
additional services that you're doing here, which is incredible. So, that's great. It's great. We've gone through uh in the spring every other year. I my goal is every other year we we do certifications for first aid CPR uh AED training and we're we're all been certified as first responders. Uh so we
have AED and first aid kit in each van. So if something happens to us in the field, we can merely try to render services while we call 911 and wait for support or if we're at an intersection or on a roadway. The other reason was like Joe Mcles and I sometimes where they're already there.
we're the first ones to see something and instead just calling we could if you're have the aptitude for it you could try to help. So it's not trying to be picky but yep I'm just trying to make sure I'm clear on this. So number 10 and 11 right on page two. Sure.
10 says Medway Oakland Street and I thought I heard you say Millis. So am I wrong? So Medway is is uh two two projects is Oakland Street from Main Street, Route 109 all the way down the bridge, right? And then the next two projects are in Milis. Okay. That's Oak Grove Farm.
Oak Grove, which is on Exchange Street and Ridge and and and um Yep. And you got a lot of Medfield, a lot of mil gets their money worth, huh? Well, they did, but we go around and then the the one of the projects you just approved recently was at
Bellingham. So, we'll be heading out to Bellingham when Oak Street's done. Bellingham um the box farm road project is a is a longer project and we we'll switch over to that. So, great. Okay, good. We're moving our way through trying to touch.
We'll keep up the good work. Question from John. John. John. Yeah. Uh, commissioners, just to let you know, within the last year, Patrick does a great job projecting the engineering services of Norfol County to the communities that are not often heard
from. Uh, I don't know if you want to deal with that right now, Patrick, but you did reach out to several of them that we haven't had business with in the last several years to let them know um about the opportunity to utilize these these free services, these regional services to their benefit. Um, right now
a couple of them. Brankry comes to mind, Patrick. Um, they did not need your services, but it's important that he checks in, especially with some of the larger communities that do have some cases their own um, units, but we can complement them and and definitely add value to what they're doing. So, Patrick's done a good job making sure
that everybody knows um, the services that North County offers and checks in with them frequently. Great. We're part of the the GPS project where we're doing touching in each town. Some of them we did on public land or parks. We added these control points to a
school out front of the school maybe not on school grounds but just out front. So we touched you got in touch with the uh DPW directors or the town managers or the school department. And then when we did that like Bellingham said hey we have a project you know so that's why
box porn came about because we reached out to them about the GBS project about setting monuments in front of the school to make sure we could coordinate uh with the school and things. So fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. Does it the the towns are not afraid to ask for the projects when they return? So
I have a question, Patrick. It's a general question. Over the years, you hear them say county roads. Yes. We do work other than on county roads. Correct. I know you have to. Yes. If they if they enter, we sign off when
they come through there after you look at it. I know if they alter a county road or little curve cart would comes back through you, but what if someone said county roads, what does that mean to you? the so the we were in the business of laying out new roads back at at a
certain point in time and I think from the 70s into the 80s and into the 90s it kind of transitioned from we stopped laying out new public rideways for the towns the towns kind of took over doing that themselves and we so we have county ls that we've had for the last couple
hundred years and we as long as we're in business and anybody has a question we can go back out and remument or retrace the rightway but the care custody maintenance of the roads and the infrastructure is at the town level. So our job really is involved uh just to
make sure that the rightway is retraceable on the ground and then if people want to change or alter it, we work on the petition process with them uh from a legal standpoint with county council. Okay. Um we I don't think we're laying out I don't think we have laid out a new county roadway. We never maintained them well.
No. Yeah. K custody maintenance and in in construction is at the town level. And I know back in the day when we were laying out multiple county layouts on the town's um petition to do so, if the town didn't build it or construct it to standards, the county would uh vote
usually to to finish construction and then back charge the town for it because the town was responsible for it. I just often wondered that um this is an MBTA story, but years ago um
Eastern Mass was absorbed by the MBTA. Eastern Mass was the bus company. The MBJ is the transit. Eastern Mass had the suburbs through points in many. There was a time that the NVTA
made like plowed they they plowed the roads because they had a plow for the buses they and then they stopped in the 50s and it was big hooha because they did a very good job and then depending what town but they used to do
Boston out to Quinzy on that it after when the Eastern Mass which was the bus armor that got absorbed by the MBTA and say that was in the 60s then it stopped. But you know if you you you got great service in in
Boston and the suburbs if you lived on bus you get that will do but they'd be right out there. All that's gone by. Okay. I would say that's one of the one of the two things that uh I do get from residents is calls about infrastructure
and paving the county roads when they find out as county layout and I usually refer to them to the DPW at at the local town and then the other call that everybody gets is not county mosquito control. So that's true. The only other call we randomly get is for there's a a company called North
County Engineering that does septic systems and we I think I forget where they're in Walpole or someplace, but we get calls for septic systems and we refer them to the that entity when we need to. Okay, any other questions of Patrick? This is a great job, Patrick.
Great job, Patrick. Keep up the good work to all your people. Great work. And uh I forgot the active project wall recreation the um we did a existing conditions of the tennis courts and the parking lot that went off the bid. It's
under contract uh with ARPA funds and it started construction last week. So course one and two are being um have been um removed. The subbase is being compacted uh through this week and they may be paving the binder there next week. Oh, great. Um so it's it's working. Uh it looks
good. The site's smooth. Carl's happy with the contractor. The contractor is doing a good job. What's the contractor's name? I recently. They're out of New Hampshire. I believe they do a lot of park uh renovations for like playgrounds and tennis courts and basketball courts. Okay. So, in the end, they'll have a
resurfaced uh handball court. They'll paint the handball wall. There'll be new courts one and two. And then, um all of the gate access will be widened to 36 in. And there'll be ramps and sidewalks u hopefully to uh to each court for ADA
compliance and improvements in the parking lot as well and hopefully done by November maybe. Yeah. So I'm they planning I think it's they want to have the goal is to have uh the finished code of payment done in September. you have to wait 30 days to do the surface uh treatment and they are
hoping that with the temperature it's temperature dependent so when early October mid October and then it should be close out punch list by uh end of October November sorry about that thank you Patrick you let them know
you're going to be doing the tennis court project for us what he just talking I stepped up that's all that's okay make sure thank you all Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioners, number six, public comment. Each week we have a public

A long list here dated 53025 and total balance is 39,272 36349. Any questions? that look compared to last month. We got
down any way of knowing? Um, I can tell you that the June trial balance um resulted in a favorable position. I was going to bring this up later, but I'll mention it now since you brought it up. Mr. Y from the treasur's office confirms that as we closed FY 26 uh the
county had a favorability closing excuse me you mean when you close fiscal year 25 fiscal year 25 when you close in yeah in July okay 25 um 2,260,629.99
we'll go through that in detail when we start to plan for the advisory board meeting in September But uh yeah, I think it's safe to say that June was favorable along with the poll of FY25. Good. That's good. Mhm. That's great news. We need a vote of acceptance.
I'll move uh that we accept the trial balance uh for uh June 30. We make that a little smaller. And the amount is 39,272,36329. We'll approve of that. Second. Motion made and seconded on trial. All
in favor? Accept. Number 11. Are we going to postpone number 11 smoking policy? Yeah. Just briefly, uh, last week, um, the commissioner Sty asked for a review by council. She has reviewed it. She's provided me some feedback which involves
some additional footwork. Um, I should have something to be about next week. Okay. I have a motion to uh continue number 11 which is adaption adoption of smoking policy. Second. I'll make the motion. Yes. Okay. Long.
We'll carry that to next week. Number 12 rec from the procurement department regarding bid openings and contract awards. We have none today. No milk today. Number 12. Apple program transfer
request. Director Cronin. Uh in today's warrant, commissioners, you approved u payment to the city of Quinzy totaling 12,924.35 and the town of Franklin totaling 86,000. You had previously approved of the transfer activity. We are just
waiting for some confirmation from the treasur's office that uh previous funds that created these surpluses were returned. Having confirmed that uh you exercised payment today through the warrant. So, thank you for that. Uh I will refer you to the current status of
ARPA program transfers. We have none pending at this time. Um we um expect um some amount of surplus to develop on the county side uh over the next several weeks, months, and we'll come back to you with a request to uh transfer then.
But um uh that is all for today. Northeast. Thank you. So, quick question. Yes, commission. Real quick. So, the Opera for Franklin and the Opera Quinsey, are those funds earmarked for a certain program? Yes. Can you tell us what they are?
Sure. Or uh it's the best I can. Um so, ARPA 86,000 is going to unexpended. Let's see. It's going to ARPA 1045, which is a surplus
excess surplus account. The money is coming from the mental health clinician program that the county had previously given Franklin. Yeah. Um and they are moving these new funds to storm water improvement grant that
have been approved as excess capacity. Franklin. Yep. And in Quinsey similarly, I believe they they're awarded 2.3 sorry $2.3 million for a infrastructure improvement grant. I can't remember the name of the street
commissioner Shay but I'm sure you would know it. Um these funds now are going into ARPA 1323 um which is also an infrastructure project for the town the city of Quincy. So they're moving it around into
eligible projects that still need the funds in great. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Anything else on opera today? No, sir. Okay. Number 14. Request to use President's Golf Course for promotional filming
by the Sam Adams Company. Gentlemen, there's an agreement in our pocket here. That is a draft agreement since been upgraded and I can give you an update when you're ready. Why don't you give us a Thank you. Uh, commissioners, the Sam Adams Corporation has approached the
county with an interest in filming uh an internal corporate video on August 11th at Wall Recreational Facility. Um, it'll be an low impact cast and crew uh production that our superintendent Carl
Miner informs me will not have any impact on the view restaurant or golf operations. uh in consideration of using the space that day uh Samarus has agreed to pay the county $1,500. Um this particular contract again you
have received the draft last night has been since amended by council. Uh Scott Lopez has uh drafted this for your approval uh this afternoon has already been endorsed by Sam. Okay. Any questions? Scott
comments. So there's no uh issue in terms of interrupting golf games and the rest I think the uh helmet you know yeah the corporation is looking for um some space within the view restaurant briefly and then out on the chorus
briefly uh there are four people on site it's not a very large production they're using it for an internal product placement um promotion within the corporation they're just testing something so it's not something for public uh do we get a credit on the at least a safe dome that
Sure. Okay. Too bad. Oh well. All right. Well, the agreement's been reviewed. Council's reviewed it. Uh Carlton, the superintendent. Okay. Right. So, I move that we uh approve the
agreement uh between the Northport County Commissioners and the Boston Beer Company known as BBC uh to utilize the Wall Street facility located at West Guam Street, Quincy, Mass for the purposes of outline and
connection with the video and uh in terms of all the other terms contained here effective this Motion made second and seconded to approve the agreement between the county and the Sam Adams Roing Company relative to
some filming to be done on our premise at the president's golf course. I have all the paperwork here. We can go forward today. Yeah. Okay. Motion made and seconded. All in favor? Hi. Hi.
Here's the paperwork. It is sign this one. Joe, can I have the fact sign that one? Because that was Hero's signature. That one had to with changes. Okay. Go the old way. Sign what you put in front of me. Thank
you. Okay. Number 14. We did. Moving right along here. Number 15. Report of the county director. Thank you, John. Chairman Chay, just another reminder, tomorrow the county commissioners association will be
meeting in Fall River. I've distributed the time, location. I have a copy of the agenda if the commissioners are interested beforehand. Um, and it's expected to take 1 to two hours um as it usually does. Um, and Bristol is hosting. Thank you, Commissioner. Um a
week from tomorrow, um our RSVP program will be holding its annual volunteer uh lunchon over in Norwood. Believe each of the commissioners are invited to attend. Uh Lucille's done a tremendous job getting ready. Um I expect strong to turn out and um and as always a very uh
uh worthwhile event recognizing the number of volunteers that really put that um program forward for us. Um September 17th is the advisory board meeting. Um, Phili and Tusca sent out an email last week alerting departments to submit their transfer, supplemental, and
capital needs or interests back to us by August 22nd. Um, with the holiday in the middle of this time frame, we want to give the commissioners enough time to understand uh the needs of departments um as we get going under FY26. I I believe I previously mentioned I do
envision this year doing a capital uh budget. I've begun modeling it and uh tenatively it looks like a total of $750,000 uh for capital and will hold the balance for supplemental needs throughout the year. So all in all looking very favorable for the resumption of capital
activities. Um and also finally u kind of complementing that Bill Buckley and I will be meeting with the new superintendent Jeremy Gay here next week. Um it's a very laid-back uh non-aggenda meeting pens down if you will. we just talk about what's going on
in our worlds and how we can help each other. So, um I I plan to be speaking with the superintendent about the the capital plan and the the notion that the commissioners and advisory board agree to as well as outgoing superintendent John Martin that the county ought to
