Mr. Gottlieb asked how frequently a bio-solid truck would have to come, Mr. Lyons said not very <br /> often, maybe every 10-15 days. Mr. Fudala said roughly the same amount as the facility at <br /> Mashpee Commons. Howard Butler said worst case, at the heaviest flow, it would be not quite 2 <br /> times per week. <br /> Mr. Gottlieb asked if they will be using native species of plants in the buffer. Anastasia said yes, <br /> they are looking at native and low maintenance plants. <br /> Anastasia Rudenko explained how add alternates give some flexibility in bidding. Solar panels <br /> and additional tankage have been discussed as add alternates for this project. In this case, the <br /> additional tankage for this would result in an additional $2.5 million. Mr. Gottlieb said he's a little <br /> hesitant to build the additional tankage now, since we're hopeful not to go past Phase II. To <br /> add more tanks now that we may never use because it's cheaper than doing it later doesn't <br /> make as much sense. A middle road seems prudent, it really is an issue of where you are now <br /> in the cost estimate process. <br /> Mr. Gottlieb recommended we look into the lease vs. purchase options for solar panels. <br /> Commission vote on WRRF Site Plan <br /> Motion: Mr. Lyons moved to accept this presentation to indicate acceptance of work <br /> to date, Mr. Rapacz seconded. <br /> *Mr. Rapacz withdrew his second* <br /> Motion: Ms. Malone moved to approve the WRRF Site Plan, Mr. Rapacz seconded. <br /> Vote: 4-0-1 motion passed <br /> Discussion of proposed funding of grinder pumps, house connections <br /> Mr. Fudala explained the issue is who bears the costs of the connection from the street to the <br /> house. The Selectmen and Finance Committee agreed the Town should pay the cost of the <br /> grinder pumps where needed. The Commission agrees. <br /> Homeowners would be responsible for the remaining cost of connecting to the street, the Septic <br /> Loan Program may be able to be used to subsidize the costs. <br /> Another point of discussion is if the Town should be doing the actual connections to the house <br /> for the following reasons: <br /> -potential price break <br /> -homeowners don't have to find contractors <br /> -assured the work is done properly <br /> -we know where the line is <br /> Mr. Lyons said there are a lot of liabilities that other towns have avoided by not doing that. <br /> Other items not reasonably anticipated by the Chair <br /> Adjournment <br /> Motion: Mr. Lyons moved to adjourn, Mr. Dunn seconded. <br /> Vote: 5-0 unanimous <br /> Meeting adjourned at 7:06pm. <br /> Respectfully Su,mitted, <br /> atr'eain g <br /> Board Secretary <br />
