à         See Correspondence Log

Mr. Murphy asked about the Chris Roy from the DPH letter.

Mr. Kargl said that it was in relation to some information that was left off of a report and that it would be contained in the Consumer Confidence Report that comes out in July.

 

Mr. Spencer questioned the two letters of resignation.

Mr. Kargl said that yes, there were two letters.

Mr. Mingo gave Mr. Spencer copies of the letters.

Mr. Formica said that Mr. Fraser had indicated to him that his job causes him to attend evening meetings in other Towns on the same evenings as the Water & Sewer meetings and that he would not be able to attend these meetings due to that conflict.  

 

 

7.       Draft - Water and Sewer Budgets – FY 2008 - 2009

Mr. Giannattasio said that he would review these budgets this evening in any manner that they would like and that they do not need a vote on them this evening; they can be voted on at their Regular Meeting on April 22, 2008. He said that he would start with the Sewer budget. (Attached at end of Minutes) He said that he feels that the estimates are conservative. They do have Pine Grove, 38 Hope Street and the Orchards that are adding to the system in terms of growth. He said that the expenses and revenues balance at $1,545,094.

 

Mr. Mingo said that they raised the rates and asked how that has done.

Mr. Giannattasio said that was fantastic but that they have eaten through much of it and that they had to cut back on some of the superintendent’s requests.

 

Mr. Mingo asked about being able to cover the New London situation that they are a part of.

Mr. Giannattasio said that he was not sure about that at this time. He continued with the overview and said that they have had a renewal of benefit assessments for those that have worn out and that they are purchasing power from Trans Canada.

 

Mr. Kargl said that they are using less Potassium for odor control and that the figure is lower because he had a discussion with the superintendent on why it was so high previously.

 

Mr. Mingo asked if they have money in this for the station housings.

Mr. Giannattasio and Mr. Kargl said that they painted some of them last year because they had the money in contingency and that while they do not specifically have money for it in this budget, they do hope to use some money from contingency.

 

Mr. Mingo asked about the Finance Director being paid from this budget.

Mr. Giannattasio explained that 10% of that salary comes from water and 10% comes from sewer as it has in the past.

 

Mr. Mingo in speaking about the Water budget said that it appears that they have had an increase in water use based on the rate increase.

Mr. Kargl said that he would like to review the spread sheets to see if that was the case.

 

Mr. Giannattasio said that he would like to implement a $40,000 fleet replacement program per year to keep the vehicles up to date. He noted that the expenses and revenues for the Water Budget balance at $2,249,358.

 

Mr. Mingo suggested that the O & M building facility seems to have a lot of wasted space and asked if there was any way to partition part of it off and move someone up there from here and, rent out the space here or rent out some space there for some revenue.

Mr. Giannattasio said that they have the Superintendent and an Inspector in that building and that they do not think that they should split the downstairs set up of people here as the public has access to everyone here instead of having to run back and forth. He agreed that they do have more space than is necessary in that building.

 

Mr. Formica said that he would look into it and see what could be done as there may be a way to save on having to heat all of it, or to rent it, etc.

 

Mr. Murphy asked about the Inspection Fees listed on Page 2 of the Water Budget and why the figures were all over the place.

Mr. Giannattasio and Mr. Kargl said that they really are a moving target and that they do vary as they are based on the projects that come in.

 

Mr. Murphy asked about investment interest – being projected low.

Mr. Giannattasio said that they had switched banks and investment vehicles and the accounts were treated a lot differently. They were switched to non-interest bearing and this omission was caught and they were put back into interest bearing accounts where the interest varies regularly.

 

Mr. Murphy asked whose responsibility it was for this error in movement to a non-interest bearing account as if it was the banks’ fault, they could go after them to make good on it.

Ms. Johnson said that it was a Town problem and that it was corrected as soon as it was realized.    

 

Mr. Giannattasio said that another thing that has happened is that the Auditor, in line with good accounting practices and internal controls has asked that the check writing portion of their functions be done by someone outside of the department. They have arranged for the list of PO’s and bills to be done by the Finance Department where they will be run, and then signed. A portion of the salary will come from this department to pay the Finance Department but it will be less than what the Water & Sewer administrative people are paid as the person is a new hire versus people with many years of employment. They expect that this will be ready to start for May 1, 2008.

 

Mr. Formica asked about a cutback on the overtime hours.

Mr. Giannattasio said that they originally had three administrative people and that they have had two for some time now as they did not replace the third person. He said that he felt that it was still cheaper to have the two people work overtime rather than to hire a third person full time with benefits. However, he has tightened up on the overtime and as stated, there will be a decrease as the person in finance is a new hire.

 

Mr. Formica asked if they were ready to vote on these or if they wanted to wait until the April 22, 2008 Regular Meeting to act on them.

 

**MOTION (5)

Mr. Mingo moved to accept the Sewer Department Budget as presented at $1,545,094 for FY 08-09.

Mr. Bond seconded the motion. (Copy attached at end of Minutes)

Vote:  6 – 0 – 0.  Motion passed.

 

**MOTION (6)

Mr. Mingo moved to accept the Water Department Budget as presented at $2,249,358 for FY 08-09. (Copy attached at end of Minutes)

Mr. Zoller seconded the motion.

 

Mr. Mingo asked if the stratification of the Roxbury Road tank would fall into this and be discussed.

Mr. Kargl said that they have a lot of things in the fire at this time and that the Roxbury Road tank is not one of them as it is not up for scheduling at this time.

 

Vote:  6 – 0 – 0.  Motion passed.

 

 

8.       Maguire Group Draft Amendment #16 – Chlorination Study/Design

Mr. Kargl said that this was on last month’s agenda and that they had approved it. They then sent an application into the State for DWS funds and the State would not accept Maguire’s work and they found out that years’ ago they had pre-qualified firms and that the key element for the funding is that they have to publicly advertise and that part was not done. So, if they want the funding, they would not be able to use Maguire – so until this matter is decided by the Commission, they cannot authorize Maguire to go forward on this Task of Amendment 16. He explained that their options are to stay with Maguire but to lose the 2% funding from the DWS fund which would help from whatever the rate is.

Ms. Johnson said that at this time the rate is at 4% to 4.5% so 2% would come off of that.

 

Mr. Kargl said that their other option is to stop and re-tool and go out for a whole other bid process and ultimately they will get some seven to eight firms who will bid and Maguire will be one of them. He asked Ms. Johnson to compare and figure the savings if they bonded the total design portion of $235,000 at 2% over 20 years versus the same amount at 4% over 20 years.

Ms. Johnson said that they would realize a $50,000 savings at the 2%.

 

Mr. Kargl said that in going back out to bid and advertising and preparing bid packages and the administrative costs that would be associated with that – the $50,000 may not be such a savings on this portion as it may be eaten up in this process.

 

Mr. Mingo asked about the time frame.

Mr. Kargl said that it would set them back quite a bit. He said that what he is asking is to proceed with Maguire for Task 1 at the $45,000 with the understanding that they will not be receiving DWS funding.

 

**MOTION (7)

Mr. Mingo moved to go forward with Maguire on Task 1 – Preliminary Design Services of Amendment 16 at the $45,000 with the knowledge and understanding that this is not eligible for DWS funds.

Mr. Zoller seconded the motion.

 

Mr. Giannattasio said that they will have to come back to them for the rest of the tasks also (#2 - #4).

 

Mr. Mingo suggested that they speak with Maguire regarding the interest rate discount.

 

Vote:  6 – 0 – 0.  Motion passed.

 

 

9.       Chairman’s Report

Mr. Formica reported that he had attended a meeting with the Water Authority and COG where they are trying to work together on the long-term water supply needs. He said that it is a good working group.

He said that regarding regulations and rates that it may make sense to form a Regulations and Rates subcommittee to look into these things.

Mr. Mingo asked what rates were being discussed.

Mr. Formica and Mr. Kargl said rates for meters and rates in general and regulations.

 

Mr. Mingo suggested that they make a list of the things that they want to look at. He said that he would be interested in serving on the subcommittee but he would like to see a list.

Mr. Bond indicated that he was interested in this subcommittee.

Mr. Zoller indicated that he was also interested in this subcommittee.

  

 

10.   Staff Updates

a.   Pine Grove Sewer Extension Project

Mr. Kargl reported that Contract 1 with Weston and Sampson is substantially complete and has been issued a certificate of substantial completion and that they are holding 2% and will be coming back to this Commission for the final payment and certification of completion. Likewise, Contract 2 with Ludlow Construction is substantially complete although they have not issued a certificate of substantial completion. They will soon be ready for that final payment and the certification of completion. They are holding a 2% retainage on Ludlow for spring work and waiting on the final invoice from them. He said that the final paving is a separate contract and that 30% to 40% have connected so far and the system is up and running. He said that the Benefit Assessment Committee will need to meet to work on this and the Boston Post Road project. He also said that the Ladies Aid Society has issued a claim against Ludlow for some damage to a house there and that the insurance company is involved and it is under investigation.

 

b.   Orchard’s Subdivision

Mr. Kargl reported that this is in progress.

 

c.   Boston Post Road Tank Painting Project

Mr. Kargl reported that they will complete the few punch list items that have to be done here by the end of this month.

 

d.   Crossley Court Sewer Extension

There was no further update. This is in progress.

 

e.   Saunders Point Sewer Extension

¨    Survey Results

Mr. Kargl reported that they sent out the surveys with a map and that 66% responded and that out of that they have 50% who are in favor of sewers and some undecided. He said that Mr. Schutt will help track down the other surveys that have not come back. He hopes to have more information on this at the next meeting.

 

f.    Darrow Pond Project

Mr. Kargl said that there has been some discussion with them regarding preparation of the diversion permit application and that they have agreed that it makes sense to pursue the general permit as it has a less vigorous requirement and best suits what the Town would need.

 

g.   Walnut Hill Development

Attorney O’Connell said that this is being worked on.

 

h.   Camp Rell Readiness Center

There was no report.

 

i.  Maguire Group Monthly Status Report

Mr. Kargl noted that this was in their packets.

 

j.   Water Department Monthly Report

¨    Draft Consumer Confidence Report

Mr. Kargl reported that they have to do a water quality report each year and that he has a copy of the draft which is 19 pages. He said that they could look at his copy if they want to see it. He explained that they use an outside company to put the information into a pamphlet form and that it is sent to each customer as required each year. He further reported that while doing the review that they have found that the water quality in Well 1A and Well 6 suggests that there is some vulnerability and some potential water quality issues in the future and that they may require some potential treatments other than what they perform now. However; none of this requires action now. He said that he had prepared some graphs for them to review.

 

Mr. Mingo asked what takes out MTBE.

Mr. Kargl said carbon filters.

Mr. Mingo said that he thought that they had them there already.

 

¨    Well 1A

Mr. Kargl said that there is a condition called air entrainment (CO²) that manifests itself as cloudy or aerated water which dissipates within a minute of coming from the tap. As they have heard from some customers that they are experiencing this, they are offering service to them to sample their water when these people call about it. The simple solution for it is aeration.

 

k.   Sewer Department Monthly Report

There was no discussion.

 

l.  Regionalization Issues  

This was discussed earlier.

 

m.   Tri-Town WWTP Capacity Study

There was no discussion.

 

n.   Rates/Capital Improvement Plan

1.       Call to Order

Chairman Formica called the meeting to order at 7:02 PM.  He explained that his attendance was also needed at the Board of Finance meeting that was being held upstairs and apologized that the Deputy First Selectman was not available this evening to fill in. He asked that they make a motion to add to the agenda the appointment of a substitute Chairman to help fill in for the evening. He said that he would come back down and join them for the Executive Session and that he had left information with Mr. Kargl for his ‘Chairman’s Report.’

 

**MOTION (1)

Mr. Mingo moved that ‘Appointment of a substitute Chairman’ be added to the agenda.

Mr. Bond seconded the motion.

Vote:  7 – 0 – 0.  Motion passed.

 

Appointment of a substitute Chairman

6.       Resolution to authorize Chairman to execute and file applications and agreements for Sewer Capacity Analysis planning grants

Mr. Mingo called for a motion for discussion.

 

**MOTION (4)

Mr. DiGiovanna moved: BE IT RESOLVED THAT: the Chairman, Water & Sewer Commission (W&SC), is hereby authorized to execute and file applications and agreements on behalf of the Town of East Lyme W&SC with the Commissioner of Environmental Protection for planning Grants pursuant to the provisions of Section 22a-475 thru 483 of the General Statutes of Connecticut, as amended, and to execute on behalf of the Town of East Lyme W&SC all the applications, instruments and documents and accept payments and do all other things that may be necessary for planning grants related to the Sewer Capacity Analysis and planning study of the East Lyme wastewater collection system.

Mr. Zoller seconded the motion.

 

Mr. Kargl explained that this is necessary because they had Wayne Fraser’s name on this the first time and so as to not have to continually be changing the name, utilizing ‘Chairman’ would enable them to be able to continually act on this without interruption.

 

Vote:  6 – 0 – 0.  Motion passed.

 

 

7.       Discussion of Sewer Extension – Westerly Terminus of Gravity Sewer on Route 156

Mr. Mingo asked Mr. Kargl to explain this to them and if they would be able to vote on it this evening.

 

Attorney O’Connell offered that he felt that this was more in the nature of a report at this point and that it was for discussion rather than a vote.

 

Mr. Kargl said that this information was in their yellow folders and provided an explanation of the cost and project description. He said that Point O’ Woods would be constructing a force main of 1800’ to a gravity feed at a point yet to be determined. The low pressure sewer on West Main Street would serve some seven (7) properties as indicated on the map provided.

 

Mr. Bond suggested that if they were going to provide sewer that they should also run water lines to these properties.

Mr. Giannattasio explained that they are prohibited from doing that by consent order.

 

After general discussion from the Commission, it was the consensus of the Commission that the project costs appeared high for the number of properties that would benefit from it. It was recommended that the Point O’ Woods sewer contractor provide a quote to do the work and then a decision could be made whether or not to move forward.

 

Mr. Giannattasio indicated that some preliminary design costs would be incurred on this and said that they would get back to them with more information.

 

8.       Chairman’s Report

Mr. Kargl, on behalf of Mr. Formica whose attendance was required at another meeting as indicated earlier, reported on a letter that was received from the State Department of Health requesting an update on actions taken to implement system-wide disinfection and to obtain additional water supply capacity.

 

Mr. Kargl indicated that he would respond to the State’s request and offered a brief status report to the Commission on these matters. He said that he would include the issues of chlorination and the Well 5 permitting which would have helped them with their capacity issue during heavy use periods. He noted that water supply capacity and pending projects would be more fully discussed at the next meeting of the Commission. He said that his reply has to be submitted by May 1, 2008.

 

Mr. Mingo noted that it is the DOH who has the authority to lift restrictions. He suggested that they limit outside watering so that they do not find themselves with a problem.

 

Attorney O’Connell said that they already have that in place and have authorized the Chairman to enter into those measures and that it would just take a letter to the Board of Selectmen.

 

Mr. Mingo noted that he felt that it was better to be safe and perhaps phase this in and start with weekends perhaps. He cited Massachusetts as an aggressive State where there is no outside watering and the people adhere to it and other ‘green’ measures. He asked Mr. Giannattasio if there was a reduction of water usage with the rate increase that they had taken that they could see.

Mr. Giannattasio said that they had not really seen any and that most people did not even realize that the rates took an increase because of when they became effective (off-season). He added that usage is cyclical and that they would be seeing it as they are coming into the season and the billing period.

 

Mr. Giannattasio reported on behalf of the Chairman the failure of the oil burner at the O & M Building, the resultant demolition work that was required and the follow-up action that would be necessary to get the building operational again. He said that they would be looking to alter the interior as had been previously discussed and requested to get the best use of the building. The building structure seems to be sound. They will be looking towards insurance for some of the costs.

 

Attorney O’Connell noted that it is the Town of East Lyme that owns the building and not Water & Sewer.
