[0:20]
No minutes tonight. No minutes tonight. We're done on roll. Now we'll get minutes next time. That's a wrong thing.
[0:27]
We're really hearing and up in and with.
[0:30]
That's what we're hearing.
[0:32]
Yeah, so Tracy is our industrial pre-treatment officer.
[0:38]
We're required by the state to have industrial pre-treatment program
[0:40]
with us and Plainville.
[0:43]
And that's all users who discharging into our wastewater,
[0:48]
particularly if they have solvents or different chemicals
[0:52]
that they use.
[0:52]
They have to fall into this program.
[0:54]
and adhere to our regulations and limits that we have periodically the EPA reviews that,
[1:02]
which I have nothing to do with, Tracy does all that stuff, and at the end the EPA comes down
[1:07]
with recommendations that they want you to adopt into the regulations. So this is a public hearing
[1:13]
for the regulation updates. Tracy will go over them briefly and you guys can vote on them.
[1:21]
Oh, not Vona, we can just get in trouble by the EPA, but that's a deal.
[1:27]
Oh, you're going to stand up though, and then I'm going to give you, I'm going to give you my money to be a official.
[1:32]
Just so I feel safe. That's my daughter. That's what I think.
[1:37]
Yeah, so I had my EPA out of done in July.
[1:41]
Most of the changes that came up. No, I can't.
[1:49]
The definitions part of it, those were supposed to be have done in 2014, I think, when
[1:57]
Ty and Bond did our local limit changes for some reason that got missed, so they're
[2:02]
basically just definitions for new sources and significant non-compliance.
[2:10]
I'm not sure why the public use source is now it's five instead of five and a half.
[2:16]
We had five and a half.
[2:17]
They needed to be less than five for the pH, not sure why, but they just changed that.
[2:24]
And then, on to the permit itself, on the TTL methods, they just wanted us to put a notation
[2:34]
that the methods that needed to be used were 608, 624 and 625.
[2:40]
And that was it for the sewer ordinance and then we have an enforcement response plan.
[2:46]
Again, we just had it to correct the federal citation.
[2:50]
It literally is the, I had, we were missing an eye on the page, so I had an eye.
[2:57]
And then through pouring violations, somewhere along the way, those numbers got mixed up,
[3:02]
So it's 45 days, and that's pretty much it.
[3:06]
So page is two and three.
[3:08]
I'll run you guys in the impact of the day where I sent it up here.
[3:13]
That's the actual letter that Tracy wrote to EPAV1 after a month, and that actually
[3:19]
has the breakdown of the recommendations and how we're addressing that we get in the
[3:25]
all regulations.
[3:26]
How often do these regulations have to be reviewed?
[3:31]
They are only, they review, they do the EPA audits every couple years.
[3:35]
My last one was 2001.
[3:37]
I did 2021, excuse me.
[3:39]
So they like to do it every three or four years.
[3:42]
Right now, the treatment coordinator for the EPA.
[3:48]
He is actually retiring.
[3:50]
So when they're doing them all this year, they're being a lot more stringent,
[3:54]
paying attention to things that they probably would have overlooked before.
[3:57]
Right.
[3:57]
because they have new people coming on so they're trying to turn out the new people.
[4:02]
EPA is federal government, right? Yes.
[4:04]
Okay, does DEP get involved at all? Nope.
[4:07]
Okay. Thank God.
[4:09]
Thank God.
[4:10]
So in this state, some states are different from this state.
[4:14]
EPA has primacy on these district permits,
[4:19]
the Dr. Pre-Triple Program.
[4:20]
On the states, it does get relegated to the state officials
[4:24]
to some degree, but EPA regulations are bare minimum.
[4:28]
I could introduce you to the CEP to put more regulations on,
[4:32]
but then we'll be fast before.
[4:35]
So we're fine in this case.
[4:38]
Okay.
[4:41]
All right.
[4:42]
There is a recommendation along here.
[4:44]
One, two, three.
[4:45]
For this.
[4:46]
Do any other questions?
[4:47]
Two, three, today.
[4:48]
And what's this?
[4:48]
Yeah.
[4:49]
Yeah.
[4:49]
So from going five and a half to five.
[4:50]
Is that adversely affecting anybody that we know?
[4:54]
No.
[4:55]
Okay. No.
[4:55]
I mean, the only thing is, with the septage haulers, we usually would do five and a half,
[5:02]
would be the lowest, so now it's going to be five, so that might be a problem with some of the
[5:09]
septage haulers, especially the ones that are the porta-potties because their pH is really low
[5:16]
because of the chemicals that are in the porta-potties, but I don't know how we want to handle that,
[5:20]
but we can, yeah, dilute it, I guess, in.
[5:26]
Anybody get any of the questions or anything?
[5:28]
No, all right, okay, make a motion for the recommendation.
[5:31]
Okay, I make a motion that the Board of Public Works
[5:34]
wrote to adopt the recommended language changes
[5:37]
to the North Out of our Industrial Pre-Treatment
[5:41]
suruse ordinances.
[5:43]
Per the 2026 EPA Pre-Treatment Program
[5:48]
audit recommendations, conducted between July 27th to July 30th of 2020-6.
[6:10]
Thank you for coming in.
[6:13]
What's nice meeting you?
[6:18]
I think I just lost my page four.
[6:22]
I just wanted to tell you how to do it.
[6:33]
I think I didn't print, it was in your package, but we're going to print this out at a
[6:39]
typo on my actual breakdown on this, but basically this is a walls contracting, they did an excellent
[6:46]
job, I mentioned it the last meeting, they completed it all the work there, there were some
[6:51]
areas, whereas we come around the corner, red oak way, and some of the
[6:56]
illustrates, we actually went back a little bit further than the
[6:58]
plan showed, because there was some problems with the pavement.
[7:01]
We just wanted to reach back and get it, so we didn't have a
[7:02]
pawhole just before our new pavement.
[7:05]
In on red oak way, that came into the intersection at a very steep
[7:11]
angle.
[7:12]
So we actually had to build that up a little bit to get a pedestrian
[7:16]
compliant crosswalk there.
[7:18]
So we actually had to put like three inches and mix on there and
[7:20]
that up so we could get the 2% across slope to get that in there and you could actually see
[7:24]
that if you go you won't see it because it's all stripe but if you take a good look at it you
[7:28]
can see we had to bury the curve.
[7:30]
A little bit in order to get that to make ADA. So that added about 500 ton to the job. So this is a reconciliation
[7:39]
change order. There was a couple of things that didn't get used in the jobs. There were a couple
[7:43]
of things that got overused. It all pretty much worked out pluses and minuses. We went a little
[7:50]
bit further on curbing just because there was some bad broken pieces that were supposed to be removed
[7:55]
and reset, so you add 34 feet in additional curve
[7:59]
and you take out 30 feet or so of removing resets.
[8:02]
So we had a lot of those in the bid,
[8:04]
but this was the one thing that went over
[8:06]
about 65,000 dollars, you can see on there.
[8:08]
It adds about 9% to the contract,
[8:11]
but in a contract that's going as fast as this one did,
[8:14]
I think that's pretty good, 9% within target.
[8:18]
And again, this was partially paid $500,000 out of a grant
[8:23]
that we received from the state.
[8:24]
I have a question, you know, where the side street, I'm sorry, I don't know if you
[8:30]
get the name, where animal crack is is.
[8:33]
Yes.
[8:33]
It looks like there's a light sanction there.
[8:36]
There's a crosswalk.
[8:37]
We are going to install the crosswalk for that one.
[8:40]
Okay, is always that going to be a blinking light or something?
[8:44]
That'll be rapid flashing crosswalk, like the one down at the bottom, so it'll be...
[8:48]
I didn't know if it was for a light or what it was.
[8:51]
It's just going to be blinking like for that cross just because the crosswalks sort of mid block coming down
[8:56]
We just want we're going to put something there so people will be able to see it
[9:01]
Okay, we only have one in so we got them put the basin
[9:04]
They're kind of read that and you want to read the motion on that I can zoom in a little bit
[9:12]
Make it larger. Okay, there we go. All right, I make a motion that the Board of Public Works recommend approval
[9:19]
change order number two with Walsh contracting in the amount of 5,390 dollars.
[9:30]
The landry Avenue is sidewalk improvements.
[9:34]
Questions made in second? Is there any further discussion?
[9:38]
Here and none. All those in favor say aye.
[9:40]
Aye. Aye. Opposed? So moved.
[9:42]
And again, I just want to say they did an excellent job in a very short period of time.
[9:46]
And we would done literally like 12 hours before they really hustled the last couple every four of school.
[9:53]
Yeah, unlike my update, which I'll go to next.
[9:56]
Which is another story.
[9:57]
Just amazed how fence fast they got that all done.
[10:01]
Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, the residents of the test, we did have to shut the road down every single day
[10:07]
to get through that because we had crews different working in different areas.
[10:10]
But they were very responsive.
[10:11]
I thought they did a great job with moving resetting the mailboxes for the residents.
[10:17]
We talked to almost every resident on the street to figure it out.
[10:20]
A couple little hiccups all along the way.
[10:22]
A couple things we still going to take care of and punch list items, but for most part,
[10:26]
the projects closed out and it worked out great.
[10:31]
Good.
[10:32]
Kelly Boulevard, move it a little slower.
[10:35]
Contractors kind of just getting in there, removing some sidewalk, coming up there.
[10:40]
of a meeting tomorrow at one o'clock to go over that and actually get their schedule a lot of
[10:46]
them with their schedule is for this year and for next year. So I'll send that out to you guys
[10:51]
and I'm going to give it to Gina Monahan so she can post something up on our social media so
[10:57]
people have a better idea what's going on there. But the intent again this year is just to get the work done
[11:02]
around the North Adelboro side, get the stanchions in, wait for our mass farms to come in for the
[11:10]
weather permitting Dylan, stall that over the winter, so we'll have that done, hopefully sometime
[11:14]
in January for a break. So was Plainville sitting on this thing? Plainville, they're going to wait
[11:20]
for them to come to their side, but they're still working with sturdy hospital on the location of the
[11:24]
poles over there. That's going to be the problem, and you'll see it if you drive through rent them
[11:29]
right now, over near 495. They're going, they're really far along in that project, but those
[11:37]
polls are right where they were two years ago when they started to
[11:40]
read polls that haven't been moved yet they just about moved all the
[11:44]
others yeah it just that can really take time if they're not motivated and I
[11:49]
imagine the state has more poll than we do so that'll be an interesting
[11:53]
part of the project but the contractor only has until next November to get everything
[11:59]
completed so that's that project other than that we're finishing up our
[12:05]
we're working on snow in ice, we were doing a project yesterday and today over at the
[12:11]
451-LM Street, just because the electrician had to get some stuff in so they could get it hooked up to the building.
[12:19]
Other than that, we're just preparing for winter at this point and closing up all of our projects.
[12:24]
Still selling compost. Probably about, I think I mentioned earlier in the year, we'll probably have about 80 grand year on compost.
[12:34]
We came to the point where we're at a compost, we're going to move our piles so we can use
[12:40]
our windroater or a little bit more effectively.
[12:43]
We kind of backed up on being able to put more windroas out that we can use because we can
[12:48]
only go like 10 feet by five and a half feet and all our windroas are gigantic.
[12:53]
So one of the things that's fall is adding smaller rows in the back side so we can get that
[12:58]
and go back and forth on those rows instead of just the six that we have now.
[13:06]
I think it's great because nobody before you would ever thought to do what you're doing down
[13:10]
in now.
[13:12]
So it is going well.
[13:13]
I mean everything's paid for itself.
[13:15]
You know, I've talked to you guys about this.
[13:17]
Probably this winner.
[13:19]
I will start approaching the town about possibly transitioning that into an enterprise fund
[13:24]
on or rolling it under solid waste as an enterprise fund,
[13:28]
which most towns have compost falls on the solid waste.
[13:31]
And then those operations would be paid under that.
[13:35]
And that money that we generate would go back into.
[13:37]
So I'm going to program it.
[13:39]
Oh, that makes sense.
[13:42]
Yeah, instead of using the general fund for everything,
[13:44]
that's what we use now.
[13:45]
And all the money goes back to it.
[13:47]
Again, before it wasn't making any money,
[13:48]
so it didn't make sense.
[13:49]
But now that you can generate revenues out of it,
[13:52]
I think it's appropriate to put it under an enterprise.
[13:56]
Where do we stand with the sludge?
[13:59]
The sludge, we are out to bid for the materials for the sludge removal for it.
[14:08]
So the way we're bidding it, we did this when we did our major upgrade at the plant in 2012.
[14:14]
We put out to bid the materials itself.
[14:16]
Actually, we did this for Adam Stale too for the vessels.
[14:21]
We're buying the equipment ourselves and then we're going to include that in the bid with the contractor to do it.
[14:27]
That's just cuts the lead time for how long it takes to get, you know, that equipment in and well that is equipment going in.
[14:35]
You can finalize everything else and put out the bid.
[14:37]
The contractor can come in and do all their work and they're just waiting on the delivery of those vessels.
[14:45]
And the one other thing, PFAS, I have a meeting tomorrow to finalize Hillman and that'll be submitted to the state on October 3rd for final review and then we'll go out to bid for Hillman PFAS treatment.
[15:00]
Okay, for the replacing the filters on the out-ups, they're all well, right?
[15:05]
Yes, well, no. Actually, that's next Wednesday.
[15:10]
Okay, so it's got to go before the finance committee.
[15:14]
But that's all cash that comes from that.
[15:17]
We have a couple of projects that we have forward there.
[15:20]
That we were going to use borrowing and we're going to send the borrowing and use cash for it instead, so that's next Wednesday.
[15:28]
and how it's weft to melt moving along and moving over there. It's moving. I haven't
[15:32]
been over there though. I don't know what the plan is next. It's all. It's been working
[15:36]
over there. Yeah, they're working over there. They're pulling all the stuff in. Before they
[15:40]
were putting it all in little, you know, lows, bags and taking it out of there. Now they're
[15:46]
just throwing it in a, you know, big hoppers and they're just hauling it out of there. I think
[15:52]
going to Canada now it was going to Michigan last time and now there's shipping it up
[15:57]
to Florida.
[15:59]
They are very expensive and not that has anything really to do with us but the bolter farm,
[16:06]
which is really Kurt Toy Property, they're about to do a remediation, the second remediation
[16:12]
project on the bolter farm, PCB lagoon that's out there, they did probably 60% of the work
[16:18]
last time for like $250,000. Now they're coming back to get literally an area smaller than my office.
[16:26]
That's going to be about $130,000. They're going to go down 10 feet. It's a cash count.
[16:30]
But like 20 by 20, and when you're facing it, it would be easier. When you put a fence, we have
[16:37]
a fence. I don't even like that. That is something that you could have done to just put a fence up and sample.
[16:43]
Not my project. But so, and that only gets it to the point where
[16:50]
the PCBs in the ground below 50 parts per million,
[16:53]
which is a threshold where you don't have to do anything else
[16:56]
except monitors.
[16:57]
So when we're done, we're gonna have this little grass field.
[17:01]
It won't be a fence around it, but there'll be signs that says,
[17:03]
don't dig here, and then you're still gonna have to do periodic
[17:06]
monitoring in the area around that.
[17:10]
So the town doesn't know what they want to do with that
[17:12]
piece of property yet.
[17:14]
What about the Tim Mahu River?
[17:16]
Semi-river, we're working towards trying to get permitting on that and we spoke to the gentleman who owns the
[17:26]
the storage place and because we need a staging area and
[17:31]
21 East Street wasn't going to be in I guess so we're probably going to end up taking his nice little pretty area and
[17:37]
Putting all the sludge in that for somewhere for it to decant and then take it out of them. We're going to have to redo that
[17:42]
that his little swale area over there so our engineers will work with him to get the
[17:48]
agreement on that. So how far are we going down I mean will we starting and we're
[17:52]
only doing from falls pond up through one street that's all that gets done out of
[18:01]
that and we're hoping we get that done for a million and a half just because of the
[18:05]
contaminants and the same thing we're going to take it once you get past that we've
[18:10]
all of that out before. The town has, so there is not contaminated
[18:16]
sediments upstream of that. And we've done some of that work under a project in
[18:22]
2006 before I got here. We've done it in a couple of spurts over the years with
[18:27]
con-com permission to go into areas behind Fisher Street back in that area, going
[18:35]
all the way up to North Washington Street, behind some of the houses, there are Asians.
[18:40]
We've actually dug that out a couple of times over the years, just to clear sediment
[18:44]
out of there that's coming in from our basins.
[18:48]
We're doing more catch-basing cleaning in those areas, so more sediment doesn't come into
[18:52]
it from us, but again, the state still has all their stuff to ties into that, so we still
[18:58]
have that issue.
[18:59]
is that the problem area that you know mostly is with the
[19:04]
tamal river is that section. For for all the sediment. For sediment coming in
[19:10]
yeah because you've got a lot coming in from the state those kelpons on either
[19:14]
side of fisher street those actually have district charges that go into them and
[19:19]
they are like literally seven feet under the sediment. We had to dig like a little
[19:24]
basin around it so it could go in fill up and to can't into the field
[19:28]
And so all of those would really, and that's one of the things that our EPA grant, which literally
[19:35]
was supposed to be up this month, but we've been asking them for a year if we could change
[19:41]
our approach to work on the falls month, and working on these two detention basins with
[19:47]
the money that we got from Congress for our conclass, and they haven't decided yet whether
[19:52]
or not they're going to let us do it.
[19:53]
And it's literally been a year and a half.
[19:56]
These things do not move quickly.
[19:58]
So her getting her regulations passed is fantastic. That part of the EPA seems to do pretty well when they have to but
[20:06]
The rest of this stuff
[20:07]
You're almost better off going in and dig in it and you know
[20:11]
They concoge chairman one time said to me probably in 2013
[20:14]
Why don't we just get in there machine and dig it all out put in the pile and be like hey EPA? What do we do with it? I should have listened to it
[20:22]
That's cheaper to pay to find it is and you know get the job done
[20:28]
Just be like and at the time we hadn't sampled it so we feel like we didn't know any better
[20:31]
Yeah, you know those ponds back in the 70s
[20:35]
Water should be fit in there all the time to fight upon these to burn them and then yeah, clean air act
[20:41]
They couldn't burn them anymore. Yeah, so they just go over to do it up on down one and the one down the
[20:46]
Both of
[20:47]
Was it back in the 50s man court used to be yeah, that's back in the 50s and early 60s when
[20:54]
What the hell was the committee that oversaw the river and they could take the term out of the committee?
[21:00]
Yeah, the term out of the river committee is going to clean it out all the time.
[21:08]
Which leads me into the question about the storm coming up on the weekend and that type of thing.
[21:14]
When we had the storm back in 2023, 9.11, 3.20, 3.20, 3.20 and January of 2024,
[21:23]
You know, 23 was mostly the type of river, you know, East Street, and then the one in 24 in January of 24 was the 7-mile river.
[21:36]
So hopefully the storm won't be where we get six inches of rain in two hours.
[21:42]
Yeah, right now the storm track is that we're going to get, they haven't finalized, maybe they have now since I've been here today.
[21:49]
But they were two tracks that they were working one that stays on a little bit further out to see and one where it pushes in a little bit further the coast
[21:56]
You know, we don't get coastal flooding
[21:59]
But this is supposed to be a long duration storm starting Friday night in an early Saturday morning with a light rain and then picking up all
[22:07]
Way through Sunday in the Monday
[22:09]
We do great in those storms. We do really well
[22:12]
You know, we might get isolated because you get basins covered over our guys going to be on tomorrow checking basins
[22:17]
We're open in the dam a little bit
[22:20]
talk to Adelboro today, so the falls upon dam will be open just to let the water flow through a couple of days ahead of time
[22:27]
and that'll give us some good time because it's not the heavy
[22:31]
We're not getting four inches an hour, you know, like we did before 2011. 2000, the one that was down on the south side of town, that was actually almost eight inches in an hour and a half. I mean, that's a storm of record down there. So those storms are system can't keep up with it. But most people skinned. I mean, if you look at most towns that got hit, fall river got hit quite recently with a storm, they just can't take that sort of, you know, they're built for the 25 years storm.
[23:01]
in whatever year they were built or look what happened.
[23:03]
The hundred-year storm now is probably the 400-year storm back in 1950
[23:08]
when a lot of the infrastructure went in.
[23:10]
So just the amount of the intensity of storms that we get sometimes are just...
[23:16]
Yeah, there's no drainage system that's going to be able to handle that much rain and such a shadow at a time.
[23:22]
And you can tell, they go right down right afterwards, you know, for the most part,
[23:27]
unless they're covered over, but it does pop up and then pop
[23:30]
back down, even down on the pain road, where they had the worst of it,
[23:33]
it did go away very quickly, you know, within a few hours, but
[23:38]
that doesn't help the residents in the houses.
[23:40]
So we'll be out making sure on all sides of town that everything's
[23:43]
clear, we'll go look at pain road, make sure that that's clear,
[23:46]
that fence lines clear, and that culver going across there.
[23:51]
But again, there's only so much you can do.
[23:53]
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with all the hotspots.
[23:56]
Yeah, my guys all are they know exactly where to go with the barricades soon as it starts raining
[24:03]
Okay, anything else
[24:06]
Don't count are we doing what I don't that's back over to Steve okay all back and Steve's court
[24:10]
So hopefully we'll have something yeah, too. Okay. Good. Finally
[24:18]
We'll have that also
[24:21]
We need to so one of the things we were working on we got a 500 and a 61,000 million grand
[24:26]
for lead service inventory.
[24:29]
We've been working on that very hard
[24:30]
over the last year or so.
[24:32]
We've been going into people's houses
[24:33]
and we've been doing predictive modeling
[24:35]
and we're doing part hole in this week
[24:36]
where they actually suck down on the gafel
[24:38]
and determine what's on each side of it
[24:40]
for once that we don't know.
[24:43]
So by the next month we will have a definitive list
[24:46]
for everybody in town theoretically.
[24:49]
That has led on either side of their service,
[24:53]
the homeowner side of the town side.
[24:54]
And then we have a mandate to remove it.
[24:58]
So the worst area in town is Elwood Street.
[25:02]
The first probably like 10, 15 houses on Elwood Street.
[25:06]
And then coming up root one here,
[25:09]
the North Washington Street root one,
[25:12]
it's the oldest lines in town.
[25:14]
They are all lead services.
[25:16]
So my next project, Steve did a preliminary design
[25:19]
for me back in 2016, for that line going up, up, up,
[25:24]
room one, but we're going to have to go up room one.
[25:27]
Sooner or later, to replace the main, which is literally like 1890's,
[25:34]
six inch main, that's so taburculated.
[25:37]
You can't even get flow through it, really.
[25:41]
And replace it, we might do two mains on each side.
[25:44]
In the sidewalk, it's in the sidewalk now on one side.
[25:47]
Gas company just removed they relocated to the street what their gas line that was a sidewalk so I'm
[25:53]
I'm able to utilize that corridor to go up the street
[25:57]
But that's probably the next water main project that I'm gonna have Steve work on design for
[26:02]
Probably have that to you in the next couple of meetings
[26:05]
And work on that over the next year and then that'll be the next thing we go for for money
[26:08]
But the DEP and EPA has a ton of grant money out there
[26:13]
So if we could get them to pay for that because that's not gonna be cheap
[26:16]
uh... uh... uh... uh... that would be great we'd have them to that in elmwood
[26:19]
and probably put in a couple of the other services that are in this area
[26:23]
just to get those done and the intent is to go all the way to the meter
[26:27]
so that we replace and led all the way to the house on anything nothing nothing
[26:31]
sheep anymore anything we touched
[26:33]
the eyes to do services nine hundred ninety-year-old service
[26:37]
uh... from main to curb and another nine hundred dollars main to house that's eighteen
[26:41]
hundred nineteen hundred bucks
[26:42]
now it's eight thousand
[26:44]
Maine to curb, you know, it's incredibly expensive.
[26:49]
Eighteen hundred.
[26:51]
What was it, what was it for I am?
[26:54]
Back when I first started in 2001, 2002, Maine to curb was $900, Maine to house was
[26:59]
about $1800, and now Maine to curb is about $8,000, and Maine to house is about 10,000.
[27:06]
Maine to house is a little cheaper because you're digging in dirt, or you're pulling it
[27:08]
a lot of times, but if you can't pull it, you're going to dig it, you know, it's eight to
[27:12]
grant. We're sorry, we're lying to work. And I have probably 30 of them just on this
[27:19]
road. So it's probably going to be $3,350,000 just in services. And then I get to put
[27:24]
the mains in. So it's not going to be cheap. Luckily, we don't have as many as sometimes
[27:30]
have thousands of them. We have hundreds. So we only have a few hundred that we have here.
[27:36]
So it's a program. We're going to start. I'll be going for the grants this year to see if we
[27:40]
and nail that down at least year one
[27:43]
and then they're supposedly going to keep having
[27:46]
great money come out for it.
[27:47]
So hopefully we can get someone else to pay for the bulk
[27:49]
of it anyway.
[27:51]
I'm sure it'll be appreciated.
[27:54]
No, it won't.
[27:55]
Nobody cares.
[27:57]
Anyway, that's all I have.
[27:58]
If you guys have anything else,
[27:59]
if you see any particles, we're big into a
[28:01]
particle season trying to get things ready.
[28:04]
We've been milling a lot of roads out.
[28:05]
I think I told you it's the last meeting.
[28:07]
North Ave, Adamsdale Road, we'll be going around
[28:10]
of some others and milling out sections of it just to keep the roads together because North
[28:15]
Ave, the gas company has to come in and do not even do that next year. They're doing that
[28:21]
two years. The next year is Smith Street that they're going to do. They're going to finish. They
[28:27]
did two ends of Smith Street. They did from North Wash to Fisher and they did from Mount
[28:33]
Hope to Earl Mar or to Grant Street. So they get this little section in the middle for whatever
[28:37]
they didn't do and now they're coming back to do the metal and then I can pave that's why
[28:41]
I'm waiting on pave and Swiss Street. All right, Kate, make a motion. I make a motion during
[28:48]
as a 7, 6, 50, 7. Second. Motion's made in second here is almost in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed. We are adjourned.
