Joe seconded the <br /> motion. All members were in favor.** <br /> COMMITTEE DISCUSSION <br /> Elias McQuaid, Health Agent, was present to discuss the sewage treatment <br /> plant. <br /> Peter asked the Committee if they want to proceed with the present <br /> consultant? <br /> Merry Sue had several questions for Elias first - can the town do a package <br /> treatment plant instead , and is he wiling to work with DeFao Wait and Pare? <br /> Elias responded the Board of Health is recommending tertiary treatment. He <br /> has no qualms in DeFao Wait and Pare's (DWP) ability to design any plant <br /> the Committee wants them to design. <br /> Peter asked if the Committee can continue to work with DWP? <br /> Elias asked if they are going to ask for a reduced size plant? <br /> Peter explained the Committee has voted to build a 15 ,000 gallon per day <br /> plant, based on Steve Greelish' s recommendation . <br /> Does Elias feel confident DWP will stand up for our interests through this <br /> process? <br /> Elias said Mr. Pare, at a meeting one month age, attempted to support the <br /> Title V regulation of 20 gal , per day . He did not indicate he would <br /> downsize the plant without instruction from the Committee. He does not <br /> know if Mr. Pare will put as much emphasis behind the variance, since he <br /> wrote the Title V regulations. <br /> Paul said the Committee clearly asked the firm to come in and convince the <br /> Committee they are working for the Committee and will do what they ask of <br /> them. It sounds like (Paul was not present at last week's meeting with <br /> Mr. Pare) that Mr. Pare was telling the Committee downsizing was a bad <br /> decision. <br /> Paul would recommend SMMA terminate their contract with DWP and find a new <br /> firm. There is no way Mr. Pare can convince the Committee they are working <br /> in their best interest. We are wasting our time. <br /> Elias has the same feeling . <br /> Paul asked Elias if Mr. Pare tried to convince him downsizing was a bad <br /> decision? Elias said he did. <br /> ** Paul made a motion the Committee advise SMMA that they are not <br /> happy with the subcontractor (DeFao Wait and Pare) and they should <br /> seek other firms to do the work. Merry Sue seconded the motion. <br /> Discussion: <br /> 1 <br />
