the county of Plymouth for parking ticket/permit management and collections services. Deputy Treasurer Welch. >> Good evening, commissioners. >> Good evening. >> Good evening. Um, yeah, very pleased to bring this before you. uh just a formality at this point to just ratify
the contract. So this is an agreement with uh Plymouth Growth and Development Corporation, also known as Park Plymouth. >> Uh Plymouth is unique within Plymouth County in that uh their parking management has been outsourced to a uh
quasi public corporation and that quasi public corporation is contracting with us to furnish them with the uh software platform in order to do their business. uh they had used another private vendor for years and years, but because we've invested in technology,
they've uh seemed fit to come uh join our program along with 46 other communities. This is actually going to be a win-winwin for everybody involved. It's a win for uh Park Plymouth because they're going to save money. Uh their collection rate will increase, I believe, because of our processes are
better than their private vendor. It's a win for us obviously because again we bring another community into the fold and we have that uh stability that that offers and then it's a win for the public because I do believe that the way that we operate our program uh it's
going to be more equitable for the motorists as far as when uh their registrations uh go to the registry of motor vehicles when they get released. Uh you know we're in the process of serving the public rather than uh trying to earn a buck or jam people up. Uh so I think this is just an Again, win-win all
around. >> I agree. >> Excellent. >> Very well done. All right. Um, do we have a motion? >> Motion. So moved. >> Motion by Commissioner to approve the agreement or ratified between Plymouth Growth and Development Corporation and the county of Plymouth for parking ticket permit management and collection
services. Seconded by Commissioner Hanley by roll call. Commissioner Wright. >> Yes. >> Commissioner Hanley. >> Yes. >> And Commissioner Valenzola. Yes. Next item. Vote for the Plymouth County Heating Fuel Oil Bid Award and fuel oil contract for Plymouth County buildings.

annual awards program on Saturday afternoon. We are planning our Plymouth County awards program, which many of you have attended over the years. Um, so we'll be inviting you to that hopefully in January once we set a date. Uh hopefully you all saw the article that was shared um through Frank regarding
Meg Riley participating in a food security and food access um panel in Middleboro a couple of weeks ago. Um again just >> echoing our overall goal continuing to work um on a number of issues in the county surrounding food access,
agriculture equity, those types of things. And we were asked to submit another um grant proposal through UMass for um some funding for the county farms. We'll be working on that. Federal funds uh at the moment have been held up of course due to the government shutdown, but we're hoping that process
will open up soon and there's some exciting things going. >> Very good. >> Very busy people. >> Any any questions? No. >> Thank you, Molly. >> Thank you. Uh >> register report. Mr. Buckley is not here. >> Treasurer's report, Mr. O'Brien.
Treasurer O'Brien. >> Thank you, Chair. Just quickly, uh the first four months of uh deeds have come in. Deputy Treasurer Welch met with the register earlier today, and I'm pleased to report that we are running ahead of projections, uh for the first time in a
while uh for this fiscal year. Uh obviously, it's early. We don't know what's going to happen. Um, but uh it's been a bit since I've been able to stand up here and say that things look a little bit more positive given the projections that we had at the start of the year. I'll have a more detailed report uh at your first December
meeting, show you where we're at through those first couple of months. Right now, we're tracking it to the positive, which is good. >> Thank you. Yeah, I mean that's always a good sign. Obviously, summer real estate market is going to help that number, but
it's good to be ahead of projection. Um, and I've been told anecdotally that there have been some alarm sales in Bon County. Uh, the chair may be aware of some of them because I know he's involved in that marketplace. But, uh, again, it's been a while. The last three
years have been very challenging and as we sit here in October, I've had to report as said at the register that we've been behind our protection. So >> I thought it might be nice to let you know that for for a change we're going to protect. >> Thank you. >> Any questions for the treasurer?
>> No, not at all. >> Okay. Maintenance and administrator's report. Mr. Basler. >> Thank you very much, chair. And as the saying goes, the register and the treasurer giveth and the administrator taketh a do have some good news uh uh from Ingram
District Court. Uh Judge Bradley is back after extended illness. It's great to have her back and working with the team. >> The bad news, regrettably, is that our uh 43y old steam boiler uh has um
reached end of life a long time ago, but continued going until uh recently. We've uh we've uh found a leak and it's uh bless you in a non-repable. Uh so we're looking at options to uh improve energy
efficiency and upgrading perhaps to a smaller uh boiler as a backup uh along with heat pumps which we've done in many of the other buildings. So I'll keep you apprised of that. But that is uh again another uh fairly significant cost. Um
as far as the administrator's report, uh Chris Hefernan, our administrator in training is starting Monday. Uh we have him all signed up for uh procurement classes uh along with uh other uh review
and learning uh uh shadowing with me uh and officially uh Terresa Verazaro starts December 22nd. Uh she was slated to start a little earlier. the town of Carver, who she's working with now, uh
requested officially to delay uh and allow her a couple more weeks as she's a department head uh for a smooth trans transition on that side. And of course, we uh we worked with them to meet in the middle and she'll start uh December
22nd. Uh in front of in your packets, you do have the OCPC annual summit uh which is Tuesday, December 2nd. Uh it's local in Kingston. Uh I unfortunately will be out of state and not able to attend. I know Commissioner Wright
usually does attend and others do. Uh but if you want to let me know uh if you'd like me to and answer the RSVP for you, please let me know and we'll do so. Uh and then finally, just want to make sure confirm the next scheduled meeting
date. Um I know there was some questions of possible conflicts on that. Yes. Currently, um I'd figure this just be easier for the three of us to discuss rather than texting back and forth. So, we are scheduled
November 20th on schedule for 5:30. Uh Commissioner Wright has a conflict. Um >> as do I, Mr. Chairman. >> Okay. >> I can zoom though if the group uh is okay with that.
>> Yeah. Um, so obviously I'm gone next week, so we can't push it. Then the following week is Thanksgiving week. So, um, I could make the 25th work, Tuesday the 25th.
>> Was Thanksgiving the 27th? Yes. Are there any pending uh opera uh um releases? >> Usually I'd be the one encouraging a meeting, but I think you could given Thanksgiving, you could skip a meeting
if that worked better in your schedule. >> How does that work on um >> payroll? >> No, the snow removal contracts, right? >> That that'd be fine. Um, we're all set. Uh, we we can wait until December 5th.
>> Yeah. And, uh, yeah. Uh, December 4th. Uh, along with the, uh, oil uh, too. That would be I'm sorry, the um, pricing. >> Okay, >> that works for me, chairman. >> All right, that's fine. We'll just we'll skip it.
>> I greatly appreciate it. >> Sure. >> All right. I will entertain a motion to adjurnn. >> Motion. So move. Motion by Commissioner Wright, second by Commissioner Hanley. By roll call, Commissioner Wright. Yes. >> Commissioner Hanley, >> yes. >> And Commissioner Alenoli, yes.
