And I think by looking at the 463 00:29:59,540 --> 00:29:59,860 dynamics. 464 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,760 Today, next, I would say this is not the first one that they built wrong. 465 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,720 So what's the lead time for new one? 466 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,520 Well, a new one, but this last one was four months. 467 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:16,140 So we have plan B, we've always had it, so we're going to be okay, no matter what, so he's going to 468 00:30:16,140 --> 00:30:21,120 regional landfill district is paying for all the extra cost associated with the extra load to 469 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:26,620 trash that have to go out. So there's no cost to the town of Hollis. I can reassure you that. 470 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,820 But it's just... 471 00:30:29,820 --> 00:30:31,440 How long does a retrofit gonna take? 472 00:30:31,740 --> 00:30:37,620 If they go with a retrofit, it's gonna be two weeks before they can bring all the parts shipped out here. 473 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,600 And then it's just a matter of welding it together. 474 00:30:41,900 --> 00:30:43,480 Which would maybe it doesn't void the warranty. 475 00:30:43,860 --> 00:30:45,800 It doesn't void the warranty. 476 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,000 Mr. Eldies asked those questions. 477 00:30:48,220 --> 00:30:50,600 And again, since we don't own any of the equipment, 478 00:30:51,900 --> 00:30:54,800 it would be up to them as to what they do. 479 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,520 What is it for the fourth one? 480 00:30:56,780 --> 00:30:59,920 It's for the number four, the one on the end. 481 00:31:00,340 --> 00:31:05,060 So it's a little hiccup, but it's okay. 482 00:31:05,220 --> 00:31:09,880 We're still doing fine with what we've got as far as that. 483 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,800 So that's that hiccup. 484 00:31:12,620 --> 00:31:14,260 But that's SLD's problem. 485 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,480 So he could not be paying for any of those costs. 486 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,360 No, they don't plan on it. 487 00:31:20,820 --> 00:31:22,580 The manufacturer should cover everything. 488 00:31:22,580 --> 00:31:34,760 The manufacturer has already said that they would cover the costs of either the retrofit and the welding and if the SRLD decides no, that's not acceptable and they want to brand new compactor, that's what they'll get. 489 00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:43,600 But in the meantime, SRLD is guaranteed me that they'll continue to move our 50 yarders at no additional costs to the town halls. 490 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,260 Okay, is there a difference in capacity with the W versus? 491 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:49,700 Yes, there is. 492 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,200 So what happens with the smaller one that's in there? 493 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,180 That's made for more and more roll-off box. 494 00:31:54,180 --> 00:31:56,560 So what happens is the trash falls off to the side, 495 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,540 so that when it compacts, you're not going to get that full 496 00:31:59,540 --> 00:32:04,200 compaction where the wider ram pushes it all in to all the sides. 497 00:32:04,740 --> 00:32:08,920 So they say the retrofit would work and there would be no change, 498 00:32:09,740 --> 00:32:11,300 but that's yet to be decided. 499 00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:18,600 Who would we have more frequent those shipping obviously this is a permanent impact or a large term? 500 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:25,160 Yep on this so he can reach an alarm and the other thing is if they decide to go that route and and that's fine if they do 501 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,560 This this this trash hopper and 502 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,460 Compactor will be different than all the other ones and all the three towns 503 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:39,920 So the retrofit even when they do the retrofit it's so that it requires more more loads 504 00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:43,960 Um, won't know until we actually run it a few times. 505 00:32:44,420 --> 00:32:47,080 I don't know. And again, we're going to build the right year. 506 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,820 Yeah, I would say, I would say a lot of us are leaning that way. 507 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,740 But again, I'm one member. 508 00:32:52,780 --> 00:32:54,260 I'm just thinking of the standpoint. 509 00:32:54,700 --> 00:32:57,380 You see, retrofit means it's not how it was designed. 510 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,540 Correct. Correct. 511 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,020 And five years from now, somebody's going to be coming in here saying, 512 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,020 Oh, well, this needs fix and that needs fix. 513 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,460 Well, that's, again, that's the beauty of the SLLD. 514 00:33:08,460 --> 00:33:13,320 I think we didn't have four before, right? 515 00:33:14,340 --> 00:33:14,800 What's that? 516 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,360 We didn't have four contractors before. 517 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,360 But we don't have four contractors now. 518 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,380 So I'm saying I think we wait for a new one. 519 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,600 So we'll see what they decide that. 520 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,300 They know that that's what my vote is as well. 521 00:33:26,620 --> 00:33:28,640 I have a phone call in tomorrow with a few people, 522 00:33:28,780 --> 00:33:29,960 but that is where I'm leaning. 523 00:33:30,780 --> 00:33:34,020 Again, no, I'm one member out of three other communities, 524 00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:38,620 only one voting member, me and Mr. Gluffer, and then the end of the day. 525 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,420 What trust in your persuasion of the bill? 526 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:41,300 Yes. 527 00:33:41,660 --> 00:33:42,500 Oh, yeah. 528 00:33:42,540 --> 00:33:43,640 Does that affect on the town? 529 00:33:43,980 --> 00:33:49,500 If we look at where we were before the renovation, it'd be the same spot where we were before, 530 00:33:50,340 --> 00:33:55,140 Yeah, I mean, pretty much, other than the 50 yarders down below, and we would just be 531 00:33:55,140 --> 00:33:56,240 loading it from down below. 532 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:02,140 So in the inconvenience for a couple of months, we weren't hurt us as, you know, with 533 00:34:02,140 --> 00:34:07,440 he can pay and they for the light loads because you don't you only get maybe three tons and a 534 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:13,840 fifty yard or depending on how well we smash it so yeah hard to believe something like 535 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:22,020 that could be built wrong but it happens so anyway final update Susan's not here tonight but 536 00:34:22,020 --> 00:34:26,540 I want to thank Susan Benz for being there when I sounded the alarm that the wall was not looking 537 00:34:26,540 --> 00:34:32,000 to stable she supported me she gave me guidance and she played a critical role in the next 538 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:38,000 steps.

I want to thank David Jennings 544 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:09,460 and his amazing staff. They kept us open, worked with us to keep the transfer station 545 00:35:09,460 --> 00:35:14,140 safe, and it was the most neat and tightest construction site I've ever seen, especially 546 00:35:14,140 --> 00:35:19,640 with all those tires. They had the right machinery to do the job and always stop to listen 547 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:24,800 when I ask questions and I ask them a lot of questions.

A shed will be placed down below, man by staff 558 00:36:05,140 --> 00:36:11,980 at the lower gate to sell stickers, take TVs, and tires and monitors. And check what is being 559 00:36:11,980 --> 00:36:19,180 left at the still good table. So there is no chance of a battery fire.
