*MINUTES CIP COMMITTEE 1-26-2022 APPROVED 2-2-2022* <br /> Ms. Fisher went on to explain what the Sonde water quality equipment is for and suggested buying <br /> one every other year to eventually have three owned by the Town. Currently the Town uses <br /> equipment owned by the Tribe and maintained and calibrated by the Town. There is only one unit. <br /> Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute uses the proposed equipment and has success with it. <br /> Another advantage is they can be used in fresh or saltwater. Mr. Richardson asked if the Town <br /> should purchase all three in one year, Mr. Gottlieb agreed, it was asked if the Tribe would <br /> participate in using the new equipment and would they pay for some of it. Ms. Fisher stated that <br /> they would need a memorandum of agreement between the Town and the Tribe if that were the <br /> case. There were no more questions on this item. <br /> Ashley Fisher continued with explaining the proposed Santuit Pond Study and Treatment. There <br /> had been a report done several years ago with regard to Santuit Pond and how to improve the <br /> pond's water quality. Dredging feasibility was addressed in the study and it was determined that it <br /> would not fix the problem and that an alum treatment would be the most effective. <br /> It was asked if the entire study and implementation would take place within one year to which the <br /> DNR Director stated that just the permitting would take a year. Andrew Gottlieb stated that this is <br /> not really a capital asset. It was suggested that it may have to be placed as a separate article at <br /> Town Meeting similar to the recent Mashpee-Wakeby Pond project. <br /> Chair Collins stated that he will look at all requests and figure out the funding sources: Free Cash, <br /> Capital Stabilization, Community Preservation, etc. He further stated that we need to be sure that <br /> deadlines for submissions are met and that the Committee needs to be careful about making <br /> amendments as we go along, otherwise, where does it end? <br /> Ms. DeBoer asked if once this treatment is done will it have to be done again? Conservation Agent <br /> Andrew McManus responded it is usually done every seven to ten years. <br /> • Fire -Total CIP Request $215,000 <br /> Department: Fire <br /> Submitted by: Chief Thomas Rullo <br /> Summary <br /> Prior Funds <br /> Project (Short Title) Appropriated FY2023 <br /> Fire <br /> Purchase 2 Utility Vehicles 371 & 373 $ - $ 130,000 <br /> Replace SCBA Compressor and Fill $ - $ 85,000 <br /> Total Fire $ - $ 215,000 <br />
