wonderful good evening folks today is Monday March 3rd it's around 6:05 sorry for the late start this is the capital expenditure committee meeting our second one so far of the season and uh present is M I think Nicole
Parker Nicole Parker Joe V Doug mland and sir your name for I'm Mr steinard I'm the town moderators appointing okay wonderful and online is Lita de Maria I think that's everyone right yeah
hi hello can hey everybody that that's the zoom sound all right first up we're gonna let's get Park and wrecked up how you doing sir come on up good any doesn't matter anyone I'm P the rest out of the way
so you are so can't uh playscape things playscape thing yes all right where's the uh where's is it gonna be out here or is it no it's replacement
parts for the play gate that's down at Wall-E Park um Russ had somebody go through it last year because we had a few complaints about different things so we got a quote on it but I don't think everything has to be done right now or to the scale on the price but still the
couple of main things are over 25,000 that that was just the parts cost not the installation cost yeah really yeah which probably be about a quarter I would, 868 so you're thinking maybe
another 2% so you're thinking what 45 well I'm I'm thinking a few of these things we don't have to go like complete replacement on but with the labor part of it it's probably be a wash and it's going to be around the 30 35 but not do
it all right right so do a little less of it but but this time it'll reflect the labor which has to incorporate prevailing wages yes and I would imagine Russ I used to have my um our insurance company would send a lost control rep
out that was familiarized with how play skates work and how you know to um yeah Russ actually I guess had somebody from the company that's why it's a little detailed and put in every possible part that is needed but I don't think a few
of the things we don't need or don't have to be completely replaced okay and this was part of the budget that your board voted to submit yes to the town that triggers Capcom correct but it may fall under
CPC because the main piece of it that's in there yeah is would be considered a capital item uh Mr Peron has been looking into that and actually thinks it does fall oh under that for um because generally they don't that it
doesn't do main right and the rules have changed oh really yeah it's not really because because of such a if you it's been a few years since you've been on the swing sets but it's the bigger Center piece of it right you know what I mean and it's got all the webbing and the webbing is dry rotted and that whole
mechanism right where the issues really are yeah yeah so it's not like we're placing a couple ropes and some you know some chain yeah it's not something you can just replace a part of or they didn't recommend like duct taping it up and that kind of called a rehabilitation
rehab rehabilitation is the her that trips eligibility under the um CP right do guidelines okay so that's where to use that that was the only yes y
okay well we have mower thanks we have one that's been at the park that came along with the Park yeah when the town accepted that that's kind of almost been entirely replaced at this point that's so we're looking at that but we trying to find other options where it's under
the 25,000 so that's where we are right now they run right up against that now don't they hard those well the one that we have down there the bigger one I had Cara look into prices on that um because I was told it would run around 60,000 and then they had a fiveyear plan where
you could pay off through the towns 12,000 a year but the identical one to that was 92,000 when we looked into it a month or so before the meeting so I'm it's yeah yeah it's not really worth it to have a
bigger cut right the regular skank is 15 for yes yeah mine three years ago and it was 104 so that's that's what we're going to look at that's a little bigger than what we have down there but probably a two foot smaller cut but
right right but for the $50,000 difference imagine that you know what else to look at I've been just starting to do some research on it but with the um glad to see the fields getting the
use they're getting is looking at like a robo liner they have these machines now that will leave wherever you park them you fill them with the paint or the line whatever you use and they they GPS out and they will line and stripe a soccer
field football field lacrosse field baseball field really I've never heard of that or seen them I mean I I umire and I've never even heard them or I'll have to ask about that they have there's a couple models out there that they have bols right you can push it or it can be
autonomous or if you're in a park a lot of trees know the company or I'll send you the list I've been just I'm doing a preliminary research on it now I'll Google it when I get home but that you know with with I don't know that it ever pays for itself well I mean it might be worthwhile with the soccer field because
that's something every year we've gotta have the guys go out with a metal detector to find all the pins Mark everything DPS it does it and then it just goes out but like you know if you have a ball game and then there's another ball game well you could have the thing go out and line the field between games and not
have to have someone up at the park to do that and so on so make it might make it more attractive Google that when I get home I've never my umpire and I've never never heard of that they're they're gonna come down in price a lot so it's the time to watch them
now is that that is that what one of those pieces of equipment is being contemplated to be used for no no no no this was just this this Doug M talking okay no I just want to make sure and whenever some was asking for a piece of equipment for curring use as opposed to the the um play St being redone I just
want to make sure you have the appropriate staff and that's their function well that that is our staff like Mowing and weed whacking guys we have summer they do that line striping and all that yeah they that's that's part of it too usually one of the guys does trouble a
year or two ago it well we ended up buying uh last year we ended up out of one of the I don't know if it was the reserve account or one of them we ended up buying a field groomer instead of the tractor that oh yeah it works out perfect I mean it goes through it levels
everything out and that was the used one you bought that yeah yeah that's worked yeah it was all it was used and reconditioned it's worked out perfect yeah the activity net is 20 is
18,000 and the bridge web is 10,000 more or less those are like aming isn't that yeah I know when you look at the thing down there you're just like yeah where's your 20 grand I know where they're
at so yeah total is 35,000 for just all right and that's the and it's well used I mean most popular attraction yeah it's Park the rest of the stuff gets easy you go to a you go to one of the
rotary concerts when the parents come up there sure yeah theying they bring the Young and the parents can watch the concert through the fence while they're with the that are on the play skape yeah works I mean you got all the generations are connecting in that space at
once you're gonna love it yeah people people Ed that the play area I mean it was being used up until it got covered with the ice here I mean every time I've gone through great won't talk about ice anyone have any questions for this
young man well I think that's good Alita you good okay great thank you for your time sir you're welcome you DAV have a good night will I'll send you that okay yeah I'll Google it anyways something new to me
pretty Mr Brown how are you today good yourself good sir come on up ah I haven't seen my friend the director in a while and here you go so everybody else here Saturday for you so you hear this twice well you know I thought about
um walking on I said I thought I saw you zoom in for a minute but maybe it wasn't you no it was not me eded down you would know what I look like you missing out today but it's not am I
missing something we got B for the second time that happened before wasn't I was later you look like you're pretty littleb that's one and this one were running trying to shut it off because it
was ow it was but we won't discuss it we on Zoom yeah all right Mr Brown please take talk about TRS or something all right so uh I have H eight or nine items here you got the you have the summary sheet right yes so so um the first three
items under Highway Paving construction improvements these are kind of our standard Paving infrastructure items we have these every year the dollar values have not changed in my 11 years here is it still a million a mile or is that
yeah depends no it didn't go down we're definitely higher than a million if you want to do like a full depth reconstruction new drainage you know new road new road base everything all in yeah we're going to find out on that road you're currently on what the trees find yeah yeah it'll be a million
and a half when that's all said and done have that project for sure yeah I was here when it was done the first time converted from a dirt road yeah I think it was early 90s it was mid 90s um I was I remember John Wiley was the city engineer of Westfield and we used his
services to to do that we had to go through the scenic Road hearing through the planning board and we had to move walls remove trees and do it in a way that was permissible under the state law and that process yeah we had a planning we're hearing about a month ago for the
trees we're taking about 200 trees down I saw the Le last the right way there was no opposition we had uh one in it wasn't really more nerves I think more questions anything yeah yeah Ian you have a whole force behind these trees you don't even you take these trees out you won't even know they're
gone in five years yeah whatever uh so those first three items I talk you know kind of in uh in combination there Paving construction improvements uh the next item is Paving infrastructure I always put a big number there and I'm hoping that you can meet that but I know the last couple years uh you you do what
you can which much appreciated lash there's 1.3 million for Paving infrast structure um doesn't need to go far you can drive around town especially this past week with Pooles they all pop up within overnight mess you got on your hands coming so anything we can do the
um what's your rates been coming in per you know per ton per ton so asphalt fluctuates just like gas price it's uh actually a little lower than it was last year right now well a little bit down here we'll see right I know it's got
those indexes in there that allow them to recover the petroleum parts of it fluctuates it really doesn't vary to too high or too low within a little range we it just affects the number of tons you can buy yep so that's the eding for Paving
infrastructure um um next item is a Road Machinery a supervisor truck this is a rich bozac his highway vehicle he rides us every day brings us to work anytime he's on the job he's with the truck uh it's a 2011 Ford F-150 um you know it's you know been a
good truck for us she's getting up in age you know a little wear and tear we talked about it last year so uh yeah we did talk about it last year didn't make make the cut but um you know I think we're wor time for that vehicle obviously you never know when these veh vehicles are going to die but we want to make sure we're of that curve here so I
think Now's the Time Yeah Solid Waste uh here are a couple big items first is a rolloff truck we've talked about this uh a couple days ago um there are some new regulations and policies that are now in effect that are going to make diesel vehicles more expensive and are more
difficult to purchase um we talked about it the other day I don't know if I can go through it again but uh just just just it's it's a different uh environment right now talking to some other municipalities all on the same boat they're all going to want to buy diesel vehicles this year because we're all kind of afraid of what it's going to look like down the future Eevee is here
whether you know you like it or not it's here we got a plan for it uh there will be a day where we will be having an electric Fleet you know if if things don't change then not today not tomorrow but you know probably 5 10 years we're have to need the infrastructure for an electric vehicle Fleet Ry how old is the
current one the 2016 yeah 2016 and uh so we put a lot of Maintenance into it last year was actually down for almost a month I think that budget season if I recall was during the budget hearing were talking about it I think the week of the budget I think you're right now working with Granville were they helping
us Granville actually Westfield both were let very very generous to us let us fire all their trucks during that time is there a trade in value for the current truck I'm sure there is sure there is I don't know what the value would be um one thing to keep in mind is
these trucks are we so one or two years one to so it's like an amulance so and we we just got a dump truck we ordered it may of 23 the truck came in this past week so 21 months oh I was here for that one you yes you were yeah yeah yeah we thought we were gonna
have that in eight months no it just just arrived yeah so uh we I got a plan ahead so I think that now is the time for a rollof especially if we're going to plan at least one if not two years of what we have our current our current piece of equipment so this would be a
bond optimization probably I don't most people are thinking about buying cash and free cash or something like that yeah we're not there yet I mean there's the free cash number certified yeah but usually something like this even if you did a state house node or something yeah you know as part of a bigger package
right but when we get to that point if it if it gets past there and then you start adding things up and then you start figuring out where you're going to how you're going to do it whether you're going to bond it or free cash or well I'm just saying all of those are extra steps for the Cao to go through Mr
Manley right but as as also is if we have the authorization we may have to I don't know if we pay for it when you get it or you have to put a deposit on it or whatnot if if it's going to take two years to get it right so you put it on the on the
annual this year you order it you don't have to actually incur the debt for a while uh until you actually have the truck right but it puts once you have the funding you've secured your place in line cuz you have the wherewithal to go and execute the purchase unless they
require a chassis down payment well that's what I so I have not seen any vehicle I purchased the dump truck we just got we just got the full bill for it this past week so we have then ask for down payments yeah I can clarify that with their vendors I think the the ambulance we have to do the only thing
that would really trigger would be a short you just adding that onto your short-term borrowing that's all correct right you know which Lynn can do and finance but the key thing is the vote the authorization the authorization to go buy it that gives the ability to go and execute a right you know and and the CEO
the authorization to go actually buy said truck you may not get it for two years but you got to put the order in what's happened is Massachusetts has the same standards as California now oh for what for the emission so he his hands are being tied and within a year and it'll be hard for us to get a diesel
vehicle oh so you want to get one now this is really getting in front of it will probably be the last one of this probably yeah even though the electric side's not up and running enough to help us they're still mandating it and we went to the show in Boston they looked
at a million electric big trucks yeah and you know it's good for 12 miles and no dump you know that was it that was they're just not there yet you know nice people great conversations but they're not there yet well not only that when when you have major private sector companies like BMW
and some of the other ones that have put their EV programs on hold right and they're going back to other engine Technologies yeah you the message yeah all right thank you so that's the rollof truck the
item next item is a trash compactor we've talked about this for a couple years now too we have a compactor that's 40 50 years old at least um so again she's kind of awar and she's getting old um we got a quote from a local company in h yoke to basically
replace that whole unit uh the unit basically pulls out of the old trash compact you slide the new one in make the wiring connections and you're back up to speed um so there's a there's a quote in there packet yeah from inter inter International container interal
container yeah thank you yep Randy is this just a is this company under a any of those bid gsas there I'd have to develop a bid document and go out to bid you got to make sure you build in enough for those I did there is a Fluff in
their quote for that type of work as well as well some electrical work right now when you go to do a project like this have you figured out what the the general conditions component are in other words I'm taking this offline it's
compacting things do you bring on a a temporary compactor on site put it somewhere else or do you just run it run increased truck loads because you're not compacting it and you got a because you still got to get the waste out of you yeah so do you end up running more loads
of we would waste that's uncompacted we we would change the configuration a little bit and we would have to just basically we wouldn't compact it we anybody putting BR bring a trash yeah we would toss into a bin and we we would bring them BR you know uncompacted so that would require more trips during that time period for sure what is what
is the cycle time Miss prior far beyond this committee but so I think the Quil from this company was about a week of downtime really which I think is the way these are designed basically like I said you basically you slide your and play you pull the out slide one in
you don't have to change the retaining wall or any of those other dimensions they're going to fabricate it to our Dimensions here of our our facility customize it right to your existing dimensions of your your your walls there this is a good find because I think in years past when we had talked about this
like down the road that something about our existing the it's a different kind of ram it goes this way instead of this way or there was some aspect to it that made ours it it is unique it is a two Ram system which is unique and and so I was not to $80,000 is a small
expense and I was pleasantly surprised to see that number I thought that was going to be a seven figure number yeah um same to do this project at some point absolutely so so hoping the holds and yeah we're gonna write a bid and go through the
whole nine hours but yeah this is what we're going based on okay all right that's awesome thank you uh next item grinder pump maintenance as you probably know we own uh close to 200 grinder pumps that are
in individual homes those pumps do fail frequently so we do service them as needed um this will just allow us to buy more pumps we we always get with some money for grinder pump maintenance this past was 42,500 I like to increase that
to 60,000 that was my request last year but it went down to 42 uh we just we need an infusion of new pumps in the system we all everything we have now is uh all refurbished they're all 20 258 close to 25 years old we just want to get new pumps in in the system and each
pump now a new pump is over $3,000 3200 is it about yeah cost rable and you keep last time was in the garage you kept a bunch of Spears right we do we have about five in the shop right now you know Randy's got to go out
he just puts it right on the truck and Y go out to go the ground y dimensions and the housing everything else is still the same yes y all E1 is is a manufacturer oh yeah I see are they all the same pum all the same pump yeah so we don't have like different
size do we replace individual pumps or this is just all town on to pumps well so the these are home so they're in a home so that that was part part of the part of the deal when sewers were adopted where that there's two types of
you know there's a grinder pump a low pressure and a gravity right so to EV out eal out the discrepancy between the two my gravity just you know can run anytime but a grinder pum needs electric power to run um so the town owns these these Brier pumps but is that that's for
residential right oh residential no no commercial anything commercial we don't we business ones that were put in they're responsible this is just for your resal only rep and only phase one yeah only so we don't continue to replace them we
do which is everybody know there's no we don't have any Griner pumps in phase two yet right yeah possibility are out there but n no one start I didn't yeah are you going to need any for the 100 condo units or no they're going to by gravity and they're they're building yeah
they're by gravity down to Depot Street and the other one should be the same judging by the toppo there which one the second apartment complex that's going to go well the other one's already in right the first condo compx that's on
the sewer now oh rails in oh rails in yes that's on and it's gravity that's all done yeah and the one next to it is going to be also gravity right that's car Malone's property the 100 units yeah and then the condos around the corner they got hooked up a number of years ago
that's also gravity we dealt with the uh the the association that they yeah because they had to Levy that against all their own owners Che all right uh next item is NEP permit compliance so we have a new nepi storm
water permit it was took into effect a little over a year ago and there are some in this upcoming year more on the reporting side that need to be done um so I'm looking for it's just a little more than I think I can do myself so I'm
looking for some funds to help a hire consultant and develop these reports um operation maintenance plans with a whole bunch of new procedures um and infiltration inflow INF infiltration inflow removal plan public Outreach um updating the water system M
there things I don't have the the ability to do all of it in house so looking for some Mone to do that work and the last item is underwat for water system upgrades we're doing some PL some work on North longard Road uh we have two interconnections we springfi Water and
Sewer we have a pump station North on North longard Road and the way the our Pump Station and the system is configured we can't pump we can deliver our you know Southwick water that we produce in Southwick to those customers that are down Upstream of the pump station on on the Westfield side so there are some changes that are
happening in Springfield Water with their treatment facility that will probably Rel result in those customers not getting portable water from Springfield so we need to make we need to you know head that off and make some changes in the in the road that we can we can bring water to our those
customers and there's about a dozen of them past that pumps they're the last piece before we head West yeah yep there's about a dozen there's about a dozen they're off layer row there's a little subdivision they're all tied in Lay right at the fork so you're capturing all those homes and then so we
don't have to just educate me we're not we don't have to get to the home though right we just need to get the pipe no literally literally we have a pipe right and we have a pipe here you know and it goes into the pump station right we bait and so we can't go here's Westfield yeah yeah we can't we
can't get the water this way so we're basically gonna we're gonna bow this off here so the water can go flu and then put a put a valve in West okay so that we can it'll be dead ended but we can bring we can deliver water that oh it's de end line you don't Supply water to
them if they needed it we we will the water mean will be dead ended so it'll be it'll be it a dead end system in Westfield all right last customers online there some of those roads we don't own right that development down there the with the
right yeah that's I say Comm Drive I would hate to have to go on their properties and we're not no no they their connection comes through the field we're not going everything we're doing is in the we do understood thank you don't
need we got figure what to do with the pump station next no that's uh that'll be the next discussion that pump station North Pump Station yeah that we we'll basically mothball that building the time being anyways and then decide that we need to keep it or with it well what did you do
with the one on College Highway Network it's still here it's still there we kind of use it for just dry storage all right so but we didn't we took out whatever we could you know um just emptied all the anything that was important inside yeah yeah we don't heat it we don't insulate it we you know
otherwise you'd have to do an appropriation to devil yeah that's where we can put the toll Boo the time you put them onever don't worry about it I was gonna say that be a horrible idea yeah we're
not off by much but anyway you gonna put a Gantry on no it could be the fiber Hut for M fiber yeah Big M fiber that's all we got I see they on the that's all I have yeah
okay uh any questions for Randy BR we've been through it no you're good Alita you're good I still remember what you doing this on Saturday just I had one quick question just I read over the stuff from Saturday and it's the same uh this document again on the you took your
book home and read it did okay did just check and I study uh I told mic there would be a test the uh I think it is this this should be the year for Richie's pickup when we let it go probably and we said that last year no
year last year I was reading over the spec and I just want to make sure that the math is right because the spec is based off a a work truck two wheel drive check M and we're retiring a four-wheel drive it should be a four-wheel drive is
it going to be a four-wheel drive it should be a yeah well either here nor there we not gonna get into into Ford vers Chevy that's all fine in Disney but this was looked like a two- wheel drive truck quoted I'll double check that he quoted up but I'll double check that yet
yeah you that he has to have I mean it's still it's still a ton of money I mean I can't believe what these things are right now but you know it is what it is they all are has to that that that he has has to be% that's you you've got a park and
wreck gray truck out here we learned that lesson yeah we learned that lesson yeah so understood here or there I just was reading like I said I was I'll double check maybe that was a bit but I'll double check it here make sure wait I have another quote too from
Ford which I didn't conclude here but um I have two quotes they're both about the same price yeah they usually are about the same and that that truck service really you told me the mileage I forgot now but it was 140 55 I think 155 now yeah and that's still going to take ximon a months unless you right it's not
these are around now yeah you you can find a I mean there's nothing special it's is awful lot it's gonna be a lot faster the roll off truck oh no absolutely yeah yeah awesome thank you sir thank you all yeah appreciate your time okay good hi Randy thank you y m
fiber mun fiber so in our last meeting I was thinking about this um and that we should probably carry it on the Capcom agenda um the high-speed internet subcommittee had
recommended to the board of Selectmen to set forth a warrant article to authorize the borrowing of 15 to6 million in total we already have 3 million authorized plus the arpa money and everything else
but um to authorize that borrowing um over the life of the construction of the municipal fiber so that certainly exceeds the threshold for Capcom and it is an asset purchase I mean we just had Randy come in with you know a nippi
thing it's not like you're buying a you know a thing a nippi thing right so this is going to be the network there's a ton of hardware and in installation and make ready cost and all of this other stuff but as a project you know it's it's going to be um you know double digit
millions of dollars you know I haven't got the final final number yet uh we'll have that for the public meeting in in U Middle March um end of March sorry but um I figured we'd put it in front of the Capcom for um an up or down vote you
know it's it's intended IM munif fiber is intended to be a subscriber funded subscriber paid service much like the water department is today right so the water department they they do projects they bond there it's paid for from water
retain earnings and receipts from water customers yeah so uni fiber will be paid for and funded by receipts from customers of the municipal fiber Network um and so therefore it's probably
appropriate for it to come in front of cap bom and to a vote to either approve it or not um for it to move forward and to have that recommendation um a vote of the Capcom it's really not a recommendation under
the law it's just a vote to um of the Capcom and the composition of this committee so hence why I brought it forward and asked to have it put on the agenda for this meeting so you're you're saying that 15 number right now um three million's already been
authorized an earlier thing and then 900 of the arpa money when I was here is already committ so you're really you're in the 11 million R we have to get the final number so I don't want to give you that final final number but you know the number that they asked the bond was 15 right you already have three and one so
I don't think it's that expensive um and we'll have that number by end of March but capcom's meeting now so we had to put something in front of you so I used 15 million as right as a borrowing authorization to go for right it's under the assumptions that the take rate will will cover it so yeah
we we um Mrs Parker and myself Miss signon went to Westfield last week for another tour and and discussion with the director and um you know again we we focus a lot on what's going on in West
Springfield because they're in construction right now and they're taking on customers now Westfield's takee rate is north of 50% their rates also very much more competitive than ours is going to be um but West Springfield's rate is right in line with
what we're doing the hilltowns some of them are higher but they have no no competition up there in in a competitive market like West Springfield or Westfield um you know we think our rate is on the money to hit that takee rate of 50% um or greater which is what we think
we need financially to make it work you know the the reason that the uh highspeed internet subcommittee went back to the select board is it's it's close it's really really close when you you won't know all your make ready till you actually go out there and see the conditions and start
constructing um but they have a pretty good idea we're pretty good on the number that we have right now but when we took the take rate at the rate that we were proposing to charge for the service you were plus or minus like 50,000
bucks on on your on your income statement and you go well that's really close right so maybe you're plus 50 ,000 in retains earnings or negative 50,000 and retains earnings um against the total total project I think one thing that's going to work in our favor here
is that we touch Westfield in several locations so literally our neighbor to the north who is the owner of the systems today can come into Southwick once we authorize them to do so they can actually start connecting neighborhoods
or as they call them fiber hoods right away right so they can come in um and there's Maps over there of the fiber hoods they can come in off a Hillside and start connecting homes right away they didn't go there they have a
couple of places where they want to come and get start and then we want to come off the rail trail here off a Depot because we already have wired that to get to town hall for the regional dispatch there's plenty of fiber there to do that then when we construct our Hut which is a significant an expense on
this campus somewhere then you can go out from there and then eventually fold back in the customers that you already connected but by having the residents in West uh the the lines come in from Westfield now we can leverage existing infrastructure and have rate paying
customers right away so that's debt you don't have to take on for other construction costs while those customers are already paying and quicker to market the value of the Hut is within that 15 number yep yes that's the whole build that's everything including connecting
all of the the town facilities have they been sending I mean I've seen trucks out in the community oh yeah I've seen different vendors names and I meant to ask you those contractors are doing they're Make Ready work basically make ready work that we we authorized under
those agreements that you signed and we did poll applications already I think I forget the quantity out of time but we did many many poll applications for every poll you have to apply to attach your equipment to it so every poll that we're going to attach to we had to do an application for and
you bundle them together in in tranches um those are done those are in um but once you get those approvals you have to go start doing work and they'll also come back to you and tell you you have to replace this Pole right and because it's too short it's too old it's too
this but the the the Consultants that we have and and Web City fiber are also Adept at this and go yeah okay Verizon that poll should have been replaced 30 years ago it was put in in 1945 that's on you to replace the pole and by the way when you put in the new
pole please make it a foot or seven taller and then you can hang the equipment and you save a little money on that whole process we've been a little bit fortunate there's been a lot of pole replacement projects throughout town so you saw them on South longard already they just went down all of South longard
with new polls Fort Vining just got new polls um Ed hul just got new polls those are already going to be way tall enough that people may have to move stuff up and down but you'll be able to install the fiber on those poles without having pole replacement those are way more
economical than you know pole replace F and then we also have a ton of uh sites that are served underground so you have to go into that work to bring that service under all the newer subdivisions say in the last 30 years it's in your subdivision rules and rs that they're
not served by polls it's all underground service right now hopefully some of the newer newer ones there's conduit there that you can go into and get to others you're going to have to trench but that's part and parcel of the process you know the premise of mun fiber as set
forth by the select board when we kicked off this project was has to serve every every resident in the town you have to have the option we will go by some of them may be prohibitive for cost-wise we talked about this extensively during the meeting last week you know we're going
to have a set fee for installation and for X feet and if you go to YT it's more okay and there's going to be some outliers where you your house is 3/4 of a mile off the road if you want to do it it's G to cost it's going to cost you to to get there but that's the way it is
now that's the way it is now with Comcast correct I know that so but we will go by every address that we need to get to uh with the service so that's that's the premise for having this on this agenda here tonight thank you
any questions so Le can you check see if there's anything spark on your own I thought I saw Jason say something I didn't see the chats I didn't see it no no good thank
you all right any new business it looks like we'll meet one more time to do the voting and I will get together with thank you Margaret and I'll get the everything lined up so I'll be ready for us yeah and I'll make sure that she does
agendas yeah sure you want to do the minutes or you want we can do the minutes if you'd like there one set correct three well yeah last year yeah last year last year's what you had them in March
yeah from February 15 to 24th right y well let's see were those accepted in March let see we never have our last meeting like we have our meeting and we never accept the last set of minutes I think we actually took a vote at the last meeting to allow the chair sign
them right to approve the minutes yeah in absence of a meeting I those minutes but the 215 ones were already accepted we don't need to vote they were accepted on March 12th last year
so because on these March 12th meeting minutes it doesn't say that we're also accepting the minutes of the meeting that so that's right there see that yes so but the ones on March so it's really only the March 12th meeting
minutes of last year right and then the February that we just had meeting minutes that we had earlier I need a motion March 12 you hear was just checking yes so present were yourself Mr steinhardt Mr moglin no Mr was absent from March 12's
