YouTube Excuse me a chair here who's David osor a noell employee that um it's similar uh to the Judy
hardigan so we're not required to sign this right you you are not um it is put on by the chair and good evening requested by sorry commissioner by think the big
and the birds the human case there was one ear on the reconsideration great all right I will now uh reconvene the Open session of P County Commissioners please be advised
that this meeting is being recorded and broadcast Live on YouTube and is distributed to the various local access channels imp plumouth County for potential rebroadcast of which I am being told we are now up to several so
reaches far and wide commissioner right yes uh I'd like to make a motion uh to accept January 30th uh minutes motion commissioner right second second commissioner Hanley all in favor I I motion uh to vote and accept and approve CPS forms Orlando Montero job grade
correction for anniversary step increase to 3-6 Robert spars job grade correction for anniversary step increase to 21-3 motion commissioner right commissioner Hanley all in favor motion to vote and accept and approve vendor
vouches motion commissioner right second commissioner Hanley all in favor I I motion to vote and accept uh payroll vouches motion commissioner right second second commissioner Hanley all in favor I I okay uh reconsideration of and vote on salary range of first assistant
registry of deeds um so a month ago uh when it was brought to our attention that there was a vacancy um with the information at uh our availability uh there was a motion and a vote to set the salary range based
on that information at that time I believe it was 52,500 to 58 I want to thank Mr Ley for providing a job description for this position I also want to thank the compilation of information that was provided to us
relative to what other first assistant registers are being paid across the Commonwealth um so I'm happy I think it would be wise for us to reconsider what that salary range was and I'm happy to
entertain a motion or conversation on um what that range should be Mr chair I would make a motion to uh set the salary from uh at 92,000 to 98,000 going along with what I see for other
counties um so that would be my recommendation have a motion commissioner right I will second the motion on the moed was there a motion we consider first uh I don't think so um need motion I think that that would be wise under
Robert's Rules so I will briefly table commissioner W's motion and first entertain a motion to reconsider motion to reconsider motion commissioner Hanley second commissioner right all in favor I it's unanimous now I will second the motion on commissioner rights first
motion of 92,000 98,000 and just for the record uh the average pay for the first assistant Register of Deeds cross and Commonwealth is 94,000 so I think this puts us in a a competitive um position to seek out
employ commissioner Hanley wanted to make comments on the motion yes yes I would ask for a friendly Amendment Mr chairman to go up to the 109,000 uh just to give a range a range is a range it's not a commitment it uh broadens the ability for the county in
the event that this person who has applied for the job has accepted the job and then if they leave you know the average um salary of bombable was 135 I would just say that
you have a range that needs to be signed off by us on a CPS and in person I think you can have limited um opportunities to get someone that you need or you want to have qualified to do the job so I would just ask for a friendly amendment that
that range be expanded to 109 there's a motion by commissioner Hanley to amend there being no second discussion any other discussion the only thing I would just just add is again um we're right in the mean so
we're not we're not I think every other pretty much every other registry in the commonweal has been able to find someone in that range issue but well commissioner right I think wanted com first so you know comparing with bondable they have a different form of government anyways
which is a chatter do uh which we do not have um so I think that is much higher than what we could even uh expect to go and I think comparing what we have and other counties uh we are right within
the means of what they uh they have uh besides if it was 109 I don't think $9,000 less is is that much for a new person coming in so I would stay I'm also mindful of of the um the offence
that was submitted to the lawsuit that you know qualifies the money and so it is in the budget that's part of the defense that it's there and so as to not limit any candidates or prolong a situation where you have no uh person
that is the number of the first assistant it just it's a range it's not a commitment there's no commitment until a person's hired been accepted I think we handcuff uh the elected official the the person that's running it and if we
don't agree to it we don't have to agree to it because we didn't agree to this iring so if you at least uh have what was you may get another Tim White out there that's qualified at 109 so I would just say that it's a friendly Amendment it's not binding in any way it's just
broadens your ability to attract people well there being no second on the original motion uh again the range of 92 98 motion by commissioner W and seconded by me all in favor I
oppos sorry no that's all right uh two21 okay next item on the agenda letter supporting David osn's buy into the Plymouth County Retirement Association so somehow representative David dast has managed to find uh at least two uh local Municipal Employees
who were not um I want to say not put into the county system but I believe similar to Miss hardig again Mr Osborne was omitted at his time of employee with the town of Norwell uh from entering into the County Retirement
System um now much in the same sense as Miss hardigan uh this piece of legislation would give both the uh individual the employee and the Retirement Board the opportunity to entertain letting this person in I'm not
sure whether he may or may not uh that would be up to him but the legislation would merely give them the option to apply to the Retirement Board so much like with the one we voted on last month with Miss hardigan for reasons that are still unclear to me the house clerk is asking for letter of support from the
Commissioners in spite of the fact that we really have no business in this uh in order to allow repose to file the legislation so right uh his office reached out to Frank on this one as well and uh looking much like we did for uh
Miss hardigan uh a letter support to file this legislation for Mr Osborne okay I move that the Plymouth County Commission authorized the County Administrator write a letter to the Massachusetts State House Office of the clerk to support docket number 3040 uh
an act authorizing the Plymouth County Retirement System to Grant credibility credible service to David uh Osborne motion commission second second commissioner Hy any discussion um Mr chairman I'll be at uping I did not notice individual uh and and like the
previous I'm not making a decision one way or the other just abstaining all in favor hi uh two oppos none exstension one thank you okay transatlantic climate Alliance and Donal conference commissioner Hanley thank you
Mr chairman and thank you allowing me to uh speak on this matter yes now before you starts should I have had Mr Clint go ahead of you or I I would defer to Mr please here no honestly we we had an extended executive session I would be okay Mr chairman to to hear Mr quinto's
business do we want to move uh I won't move that Mr chairman sorry I should have done that sooner all right we have a motion commissioner Hanley we well I don't think we need a vote I can do it as long as there's no objection we'll go to Plymouth County energy aggregation program information and vote
right uh thank you chair um so uh uh Mr Quintel uh Advisory Board member and chair of the uh Plymouth Board of selectman reached out uh to me uh last Friday to talk about uh the electric consolidation programs primarily referred to as Community Choice
aggregation uh where a city and town Act is collective buyers for electricity on behalf of the residents businesses and allow programs where a community can choose uh certain uh aspects of the program based on community uh requests
uh this is mgl chapter 164 section 134 uh and those laws do permit a county or uh collection of towns and cities to join as an aggregation uh entity uh as a
fan of the uh select board's uh meetings uh they've been getting a lot of uh questions and concerns about the raising of the um electrical costs and the impact on all citizens including the County Citizens uh I have talked to the
dpu the Department of Public Utilities uh and received a bunch of information uh that we are now processing and working uh the bottom line is the county is an eligible uh aggregator uh for the program there are certain uh coups that
we need to jump through uh we have uh uh uh communicated with uh Town manager Derek rendesi and uh and I'm working uh with his team uh to uh get more information uh and uh I just wanted to
thank um uh seleman Quinto uh on uh giving us a call and uh alerting us to the opportunity uh we I found out that 18 of our communities are currently in an aggregation program uh nine of them are not uh three of the nine cannot
because they have electrical companies uh but uh one that is really yeah um hang MD that's right yeah they doed that's right so they're not eligible to join but one of the uh communities that
are not at Brockton so there's still a big demand that would be a very large uh client uh with uh the amount of uh the 56 or so thousand people in our community uh so um uh what I was hoping
to do was uh maybe if uh selectman uh quintal can give uh their perspective as how this may uh Drive in the one thing that I did learn is that no Community can be a member of two aggregation programs so we'd have to work with uh
identified Consultants from the dpu that do this program and figure out a rolling uh admission uh these are uh each town would be voted uh um membership through the board of Selectmen the Commissioners would have to vote to approve the
program and then uh would be able to uh work with the Consultants to get um uh uh the aggregate rate um right now uh I will tell you the county itself is in a three-year program we bought it a great
time we actually are at 12.1 cents uh which is considerably lower uh we save about 27% off the current rates um and uh we have that program but we bought in uh
with your approval um uh last summer and do we uh extended the program as long as we could which is a three-year program so the county itself with our buildings is sitting in an outstanding position saving us tens of thousands of dollars
um and uh uh it would be great if we could do similar and save the citizens the inhabitants uh you know the same kind of money I agree um by Mr Quinto if you'd like to say anything while he's coming up I did see um a letter Senator
OK Conor from wayth sent to dpu as it relates to the ever Source um as a r rate payer in Plymouth now I appreciate the uh initiative of the town as well as the county and coming from Rockland Rockland was a part of the aggregating program um and it was great when I lived
there I mean it it greatly reduced the cost in Rockin so I think this is an excellent idea and something that the County's looking forward to so Mr Quintel so I want to say uh thank you you gave it a nice update and I have to say they move very quickly I mean I was
expecting to come tonight and you know get the ball rolling but uh it's great that Mr Bor and Mr O'Brien and whoever else may have worked on it got all the information and uh everybody's looking at their electric builds and it's not so much the cost of
electric well that's part of it but the transmission the delivery charges like double and now it's more than it's Electric's like 200 the deliver is like 400 um people have been calling me in Plymouth um $1,200 utility bill and
they're very worried these seniors some of them of how they're going to pay this kind of money and stay in their homes and it was a sincere call you know you can sip through them you've been doing it a while and it was somebody that I uh very well respect and it you know there
was many calls now today the new one is the gas rates I think the quote was have fuming that's on channel five that's not my you know how it go um but just to get everybody's attention we
went to the board of Select uh last week went to ISO out I think it's toio uh we rent I rented a vehicle and brought the board to to there see how they bring the energy into England and they have nothing to do with rates but you'd be
very surprised they have every Power Plant uh any kind of generation of any plant that's on this big giant screen in the control room and a lot of it comes from Canada so when I hear the president saying he's gonna put you know DS on Canada I get a little excited because we
get 307 am% right our electric right now from Canada so you know not to get off the path so I'm Gonna Leave You this card Mike kahill I don't know if you spoken with him he represents the town of plumet with David G and energy and
resiliency that's what his job is he's a Shar kid and we're going to um I think it's this week or next week have a full presentation and to let you know I reached out to uh Michelle Badger Dylan
Fernandes and c and they're all on board they started doing their own little things but we're all going to get together and what we have to do is find out why this happened and how it happened to that extreme I mean something's not right right it's
just not that have a power plant I know people don't want to hear it but it still has transmission lines there and U we're going to have to sooner or later especially this time uh just going to have to look at where we're going to get
our energy right because Massachusetts is really stuck as a big community so I think it's time to at least look at it and I appreciate absolutely thank you but uh anything we can do as a town I know he's reached out to Derek and this
is the this is the guy Derek thank you thank you yes thank you thank you Mr anything else I can get yeah on let me know absolutely no we appreciate uh we appreciate you bringing this to us right thank you and we'll get to work
and we agree Mr Basler moves very quick and we're very appreciative of that we're very lucky to have him um so do you need a vote from us Frank to to do this or do you want to wait until maybe we have a collection of communities yeah we don't need a vote more consensus
because it uh the uh the forms are very significant in time so it'll be a quick drain Plymouth uh changes their program in October okay um it would be great to get everything aligned up so that we can stop pulling people on it would probably
involve a road show to the towns that do not have one is's a pretty good as uh selectman Quint will attest pretty good uh education and communication need uh around a program like this um saving money is great but people want to know you know um you know what what
does that mean to me can I get in can I get out and the the it's a really positive program with very little downsides right uh that that I can see so far and being a member um you know yeah well like I said when I lived in Rockland it was it was great and it was
an opt out option why you would I'm not sure but um but it was great when I lived in Rockland um if I may you Mr chairman um they're talking another 5% increase right now right on top of what the dpu website is very informative and
has every a report from every community that uh participates in the aggregation program the thing that kind of um caught me uh unaware was the differential in rates so so much of it is buying at the right time right there are some cities
and towns that are buying at 10 cents yeah and Plymouth is at what 14.8 cents change so um it's a pretty significant change when you look at uh when when you buy and when when you buy out and that that's why we are are in such a good
position is uh we monitor the market and we're able to buy in at a good good point in the year and and a good point in the rates absolutely so I have a question if I you of course uh so those those rates do they um change different times of the year like you know do they
go up during the I know like National grid they go up in uh April and then they go up in November so during the busy times of yeah you that you that we buy into so for us for us the county we are flat for three years so you can lock
in yeah that rate and um I think clth uh the last increase was maybe uh it was last October um and so uh if you buy in for one year right then it could change again depending on what the rates are right you can buy in long you could buy in short
um it depends on what's the maximum that you can buy in for so years for our program I don't know what it is for the aggregation program for our program was three years and we went to the max yeah and it's at 14 right now we're we're we're at uh 12.1 so would that change
our rate would have to go up to the 14 well we we're in a contract now until uh June of 2027 so we could not we would actually funny enough have to wait to into our program right it's just a
matter of getting other towns into it well yeah we could get any program any town or municipality that's not in a program in right away yeah and then you have to roll off the old contract before you could roll into a new program gotta and dpu is the one that actually
approves the sunsetting of the old program right and the roll in of the of the new program just for clarification so as I recall Frank you we have three aggregators out there that we have to choose from that are pre-approved by
dpu as someone that can broker the deal and runer and do the contractional arrangement so um that's all I want to make sure as part of that process is that a procurement thing or because it's energy wouldn't be
30b and then we would pick uh whoever is the most favorable in RFP or by your due diligence so um the three EX you're exactly right with all that information it's three uh dpu approved Consultants um quite a few of the
communities that are in the county that already have um people are with good choice which is one of them um but there is some with every single one of the three so my my first thing was going to be talk to the people that are dealing
with each of the three get some rudimentary information it is not procured by 30b there's no margin on top of that the consultants get 0.001 um of the of the contract is a
administrative and management fee they do do a lot of work um in management um and um you know I'd bring it back to the Commissioners we'd actually have a recommendation um and if somebody wanted to sit in uh with the the qualifications
um you know we would I have all three in to present um you know based on if if we have CL uh communities that already do not like one consultant I would say there probably a good reason for that well my point for raising that is that
recall last summer we attempted to create our Energy Management program and coincidentally when we went to Ireland that was the agenda was based on the eventuality that happened there was some techn logical stuff tech technical stuff
in the RFP that would no longer available so we did a cut and pace and now we're waiting till we can get uh Frank some help and the beauty of this is if we're banging this drum with now because the community's wanted and the
dpu approved of aggregator uh is out there this kind of Segways perfectly Mr chairman into my presentation but also when if we're able to you allowed me to go out to bid on that and we just for a technical reason
weren't allowed to do it there's a revenue opportunity in that master plan that this component of is just this much but can get our communities thinking about combining with Plymouth County under this program so it's a great great
way and thank you uh selectman Quinto for bringing that to our attention absolutely thank you all right so I think the general consensus is let's trite forward thank you and we thank Mr Quintel for coming okay thank you for waiting yes thank you
all right next up transatlantic climate Alliance and Donal conference commissioner Hanley thank you Mr chairman um for the Public's awareness couple years ago we entered into a sister County agreement with dunal Ireland and uh as part of that um
agreement um there's AG to host a conference uh where the county to a degree doesn't have the funds at this time to uh support that if you recall the first conference was the blue green economy and partnership with Plymouth
400 uh Dr stepen Cole um had put it on and the dunal delegation came and they presented an expert on kelp ping uh and addressed the green I'm sorry the blue economy and has had interest back and
forth now with d g on the opportunities within Kingston and Plymouth specifically in know startups are working with the the gentleman who came over Who harvest his kelp for um Golf
Course fertilizer fertilization and that is a byproduct of our agreement it is now we went over last year Mr chairman in September uh with the idea of energy management and we uh discussed battery storage over in Europe and specifically
in Ireland where they have solar arrays that generate um energy that goes to battery storage and then is upsold to the government um uh as a way to you
know generate lower costs uh there we looked at that we looked at uh desalinization plants to give uh in on our endos free water as an opportunity best practices blah blah blah so we participated in it um wasn't able to
bring that to fruition on the energy side because when we are able to put out to bid this RFP for a partner that helps us develop a program for our own Revenue purposes um that will be a part of
potentially this Mission here so um we are asking the board to allow us to affiliate um with the transatlantic climate Alliance um and there information that I uh can share through Frank with you on their vision and their
mission uh basically the transatlantic climate Alliance is a developing non-governmental organization that Fosters subnational collaboration through its transatlantic climate Council to help leaders accelerate decarbonization Pathways transitioning
to a sustainable future in the present of the worst effects of our Global Climate crisis despite the change of administration here in different thought process policies will change but for uh
our purposes with um our uh Dan G uh we're looking to host this um conference and by affiliating with it and giving it uh the county uh collaboration we'll be able to apply for uh Monies to host this
community um this conference uh from Mass development uh and a couple of different Massachusetts agencies where we do not have the wherewithal to host this conference the shy town of Brockton uh has agreed to do it but they
themselves don't have um the money to underwrite the conference um they are willing to uh host us at massao Community College the Irish are coming over from May 21st the travel day they'll be here for
the conference the 22nd and the 23rd uh leaving on the 24th so um this climate Alliance Group uh which is comprised of a bunch of folks uh will go out and talk about education and Workforce
Development in that space green Finance which is uh something that compy should potentially look at as being a broker of energy uh financing um adaption and resilience uh which is you know helping uh government
officials adopt best practices to safeguard communities from the worst effects of climate crisis these are all topical things that would draw um people or specifically in addition to the Irish potentially other collaborations from
the blue green economy uh conference um I would have reported back to you that New Finland Donny G and Plymouth County have now created this potential for collaboration where new wants us to go up and participate in that I haven't brought it to your attention yet because
it's still in the discussion stages but it's as a result of the blue green economy conference and so this is just a means uh to an end for us to potentially have a revenue generating program in collaboration with uh these folks um
there's worldwide uh representation uh of the committee Dr Lucas stall um is uh r in energy in you can see all of the folks that are here they're primarily
from different countries uh Germany uh Scotland uh Portugal uh Ireland and I don't know where this gentleman is from but um they're willing to huh without the classes got that good
here do um so what I'm asking for today Mr chairman is just to have permission to affiliate uh with this group so they can host the conference with in partnership with us and for me to be then able to apply for funds from the
state uh as the host and we have uh done some due diligence that that if we get this vote that we would be able to then at least apply and then maybe we can use our friends in the legislature to help us there but it's a a great program it gives us uh an opportunity for us not to
have to fund uh what our collaboration is we don't have the the money for us to do it the first one we we had to self-fund ra on that thank the treasur and and some of our cultural Partners the Ancient Order of Hibernians in the
sore Heritage Trail uh for helping us uh put on the first hosting so this is where we are and I would just ask uh for your permission for me to uh affiliate the county with this so that we can host this uh conference in the city of
Brockton sure um yeah so just by affiliation that would obviously mean the seal would be used um correct and you would just be looking for our approbation to apply to
the state for funds uh specific for this is there an available fund or would you be looking well there is mass development there are different parts of money that I actually could have the principles come in and talk to you about uh but where it is uh May the clock is
you know I want to get your blessing to move forward I think it's a great opportunity city of Brockton doesn't have to um put the bill right uh they you want to showcase the shy town of Brockton because we when we've traveled we've been to letter Kenny and Dy go
town where the seats of government are and this is something that may yield a big benefit especially if we go forward with a RFP for our own programming like we had once had with the solo project that unfortunately didn't go forward but
had a a real schedule for Revenue so well I'll never have any problem with anything that doesn't cost us anything and I'll certainly never have a problem with positioning us to potentially get some money for things um but that's just my thought um would a formal motion to
just affiliate with no cost and give the authority to or the ability to apply with keeping us fully uh appraised every step of the way would that motion m j okay it's a motion by
commissioner H have if I may sure put discussion I just have a question about putting a sale on something that we really don't know what will uh bring back to us or you know come up against us so yeah I think specific guess I just don't clearly
understand yeah my understanding what the seal would be when they have the conference you'll see the seal on on that as well as the D sale as well in right in the city of Brock right it's sales and marketing but also right gives
us a leg into to the state you know it's an affiliation with the county being the lead with these folks being our um guess our Educators our host the conference to provide the technology that'll bring people into broad so it
would just be for this conference and then if there was something to be born from it later we corre bring it back for f and that's really where I'm thinking is that down the line This Could Be Revenue generating for us especially in the um the financing space green financing is like whoa you know and
although it's there's a different change in the country these days not everyone has to believe it here if we can make money over in Europe where it's huge hug did I just sound like huge I told you he looked like Trump yeah there you go now you're uh using
his huge yes yeah no I mean I'd like to you know hear more about it but you know from these people and um if anything goes further after that one time using our seal yeah I wouldn't be able to do it without permission this just starts
the field of dream so to speak okay well there's a motion do we have a second second commissioner right all in favor I thank you you okay vote to receive 2024 burn Grant award to subian Brockton impl I guess it's a good sign that another
town has fallen off of this right I mean good and bad yeah good and bad but good right thank you ch um we did get approval uh from the uh Federal uh Department of Justice that we were approved for 88,500 to Plymouth
and the county would uh receive an administrative fee of 8,865 for the uh work and um Administration and reporting of the of the contract uh it is lower than uh Years Gone by and that is indicative
that uh violent crime has gone down in our area which is great news um you know Middleboro and weham who are recipients of the burn Grant in the past understand uh Plymouth in some years uh that we have administered in the past have
fallen off and then they come back so it uh it depends uh on the reporting cycle uh how it goes but um with your approvals uh we have letters of award uh that were put in front of you uh we'll send those out and uh continue on the
award process I would like to thank the uh treasurer for his assistance uh with the pro with the pro pro project and uh and help in in the program great uh there are no questions I'm happy to entertain a motion motion so move right
second commission Hanley all in favor hi very good and we appreciate your work Frank I I want to do my biweekly check with W they like to ask about this one particularly and I give you all the credit for bringing this in because I think it's a once again just something
that we're providing for the communities of the county and you know I say tongue and cheek but seriously it is nice that some towns are falling off that they're not meeting that requirement so okay uh next up arpa update and distribution votes Treasurer we just have the
distribution votes no update no update all right all right so so to the terms and conditions of the American Rescue plan act Plymouth County Commissioners Grant dispersement of funds held and administered to the Plymouth County Opera program as follows Clifton Lawson

have the good to have the U good to have the picture um we are currently if I'm reading this correctly and the treasur administration correctly correct me we are wanting just 13,000 behind what our estimate was which is
pretty healthy so that's good to see um but without him he had to ask you answer questions I just wanted to submit for the record appreciation for him providing this information Mr Basler I just wanted to say um we in
uh we are 13,000 behind in um in one section but we're ahead in another section so overall we are ahead for the year okay it's been up and down so you never know what the rest of the year is going to bring that's where the year
combine got it I see that I do see that now yes that was what right here so the year today combined is the correct number sorry I was looking the wrong um that is good sign we'll continue to monitor it and uh take is how M
goes yes I will point out 14 million to the Commonwealth uh for doing nothing more than just existing so imagine if we had that imagine all right uh Treasures report treasure O'Brien has previously he has nothing is that still the case
treasure obri Remains the case no treas report maintenance and maintenance and administrator Mr vasin uh so uh the maintenance team is doing a phenomenal job keeping the uh the
buildings all clean and safe uh with these rains and uh freezes and snow and slush uh we they've needed to put in some overtime uh but without complaint they come in on the weekends and uh do some great work and uh make sure all our
buildings are safe so special shout out to the whole team uh they even came in on Super Bowl SU uh to clean everything so we really greatly appreciate that many thanks um we continue on we have nine major projects going on in uh in four of our
buildings the three cour houses in uh 32 Belmont Street uh all of which uh have some sort of improvement in energy efficiencies uh along with improving the asset uh of each of the buildings so um
we continue and Doug is doing a phenomenal job managing that with the team uh for the administrators report uh 32 Belmont Street project timeline uh we are working with starting with the facade that will be beginning around March 15th we have a kickoff meeting on
uh February 25th with the uh with the vendor with the contractors and uh it's very exciting it'll be all brand new Windows Doors siding and we'll really uh shape up that whole area it'll then continue into a a roof uh complete roof
uh installation uh Demolition and installation and end with an upgrade in HVAC so very excited over there uh Plymouth County Retirement Association so we've worked uh with them for over the last couple years on a number of projects including the remodeling of
their building when they moved in uh the most recent project was the sale of a wholesale uh of a warehouse building on their property uh which uh far exceeded their expectations uh and then finally a
brand new roof renovation um and uh Al together uh the last two projects brought in in excess of $10,000 uh to the county general fund right um onset uh they had two buildings we
helped uh the county assisted in uh building their new uh facility over on near their uh offices uh we then uh proceeded to move in demolition Asmat
remediation um and uh worked on a number of their projects and brought in an additional $6,000 uh in fees uh in in that last segment of the pro of the project um vehicle bid update uh we are coming up
on deadlines of the contract uh we now are assessing whether we want to extend one more year or go out to bid again um we'll be looking that and cheing with our consultant about what makes the most sense from a vehicle uh purchasing
perspective and we'll be bringing uh that details up to the Commissioners facilities condition assessment and planning so um I was really Blown Away by barstable uh meeting actually seen uh their presentations and their team in
action in several of the barstable commissioner meetings um that uh that I've watched um and uh I'm meeting with them to find out how the financial ramifications and expenses are managed
uh so that we can do a similar uh uh assessment uh and see what that would cost so uh I just wanted to let you know that I am there was a good takeaway from the mass Association of the County Commissioners and that I'll be working with um Michael Dutton and his team to
understand what they're doing how they're looking at it and uh their learnings from the project so that we can inculate that uh uh in into our uh every day great and then finally Plymouth cell tower update um so uh Verizon reached
out to us and they have officially stated that June 30th 2025 will be the last date that they will be utilizing the uh Plymouth Tower uh that is the end of their current lease uh they actually are moving down the street uh to an
existing Plymouth uh town of Plymouth tower and will no longer be using our uh our Tower um anymore we have AT&T on that Tower right now uh I've been working with AT&T to see the viability
of purchasing that Tower uh we have one more potential year that we could keep that Tower up however AT&T could not come to any agreement with Verizon um uh in transferring ownership to AT&T don't
forget for rizon owns a demolition of that Tower which could be in excess of six figures well of six figures uh so um uh AT&T is coming back to us uh I just want to let you know we'll work with the negotiation Committee of the chair the
treasurer and myself with AT&T to work on a temporary uh Tower uh which will bring us through um the 20 the June 30th 2026 uh tie up of that land with Boston
south and then we'll uh then work on um Alternatives as to what we should do at that point just to was a reminder that Tower is over almost coming up on 35 years old and um almost 35 years and
uh steel and salt water in 35 years aren't a great combination so that's one of the issues that that AT&T saw um they were looking for some assurances that Verizon was not willing to give them um and uh we did uh just in alignment to
the cell tower land we did get um uh reach out for Boston South they're interested in doing some soil sampling so uh we will be uh working with uh uh um them on soil sampling up in the uh in
the wood lot area it is within their contract to do so with approval I asked for a plan and a um uh an area of where they want to do the soil and Sample in and I'll bring that back to you once uh Boston South
delivers that great and that is it chair right thank you Mr basa I will entertain a motion to adj Chairman uh real quick I had a conversation with earlier with you about a report in the Plymouth independent that spoke to the $116
million expansion of Beth Israel deaconness and I'm wondering if there were maybe through Frank or Tom Tom with respect to the old sheriff's house I know we were in lean Court trying to delineate where were the deed
restrictions it may be an opportunity for us to generate Revenue to sell a piece of property that ABS $116 million expansion so through you Mr chairman at a future meeting if we could put that on or if you would like to authorize the treasure and whoever to go in Kevin
crawlin I believe is the guy's name that's Beth Israel um so just something to put on the radar screen sure and then with respect to Future Revenue opportunities you know we oper sunsetted and now you know I know we're doing well
with our member communities on the executive uh group and and the elected group to try to do the next best thing I think you even mentioned the bus thing which I think is exciting so and if you wouldn't mind in the future just putting those little new business things and not
to be voting on that night I just wanted to give you the update that uh the land Court did resolve in our favor it uh the wood Farm is out of land court now so it's just registered land uh and um uh
I've always thought that the backside of this lot right over there would be available for about a 100 uh parked cars uh we would it wouldn't have any impact on us we could set up a nice lease so you know maybe with the treasurer we could I know he's having conversations
with uh BH anyway uh maybe it might be something that we can add to the conversation uh both whether they have additional needs for office space or whether they're um you know whether they additional needs for parking space
absolutely I like it okay all right I'll entertain a motion to adjourn commissioner Handley second commissioner right all in favor hi hi Journey very good
