Church Street Landfill/Present: Northbridge Redevelopment Corp. Present:  Paul Mahoney. 

Mr. Mahoney informed the Board of Selectmen that by June 30, 2009, his company will be done importing material to the Church Street Landfill.  That said, he mentioned that because his company owns the site that they would be responsible for it forever.  Continuing, Mr. Mahoney stated that the Department of Environmental Protection requires the site be monitored for thirty years and if something should arise during that time his company would be required to take action.  Selectman Ampagoomian asked if a scheduled maintenance plan is required.  Mr. Mahoney replied that the only thing he can tell the Selectmen is once the landfill is completed, their engineer will do an as-built drawing and copies would then be sent to the DEP so that they can receive confirmation that the landfill is closed.  He mentioned that the town will receive copies of everything that is being done with the landfill.  Selectman Marzec inquired about the testing of the soil and Mr. Mahoney provided the current process for testing the soil as required by DEP.

Sewer Division:  Second Water Meter and Abatement Process.  Present:  Richard Sasseville, DPW Director and Randy Swigor, Manager, Whitinsville Water Company (WWC). With respect to second water meters, Mr. Sasseville gave the Board of Selectmen two options to think about.  The first option he presented would be to install a second meter, known as a deduct meter, that would measure outdoor water usage.  The readings from the deduct meter would be subtracted from the water volume recorded on the primary meter when determining the sewer use charge.  The deduct meter would cost around $350 plus any cost to alter the internal plumbing within the house and the resident would own the deduct meter.  Neither the Town nor the Whitinsville Water Company would be held responsible for installing the meter.  Mr. Sasseville stated that the Whitinsville Water Company supports adoption of the deduct meter, this way the property owner is totally responsible for the meter and if the meter fails to work it is their responsibility to fix it.  The meter would have to meet the primary water meter standards.  The second option would be to allow the use of an irrigation meter with a separate water service for outdoor use only.  This meter would record outdoor usage while the primary meter would record only indoor water usage.  The primary meter reading would be used for determining the sewer use charge.  In this case, the customer would be required to pay a separate service charge for each meter and the Town of Northbridge and the WWC would own the irrigation meter.  Abatement Process –Mr. Sasseville mentioned that the abatement process changed about 5 years ago and at that time, his department was handling around 125 abatements a year.  That said, he also stated it was a very intensive process in terms of labor and time when handling each abatement and with the sewer rates going up the past couple years, he feels by reinstating the abatement process there would be a significant increase in abatements with no manpower to process them in a timely manner. 

 

Town Manager’s Report.  1) Blackstone River Bikeway – notified the community that the consultants for the project would be conducting test borings in the ground and survey work along the proposed trail.  2) Alternatives Award – received an award from the Mass. Historic Commission for adaptive reuse of their facility.  3) Charter Communications Bankruptcy Update and Discounts – advised customers that although Charter is in bankruptcy proceedings, all services will continue and fees will be paid to the town.  Also, there have been some errors on senior citizen discounts and this will be corrected.  4) Utility Pole Update – received an email from NStar that work will begin on removal of poles and coordination with Verizon on this work will continue.  5) Department Head Meeting –Interim Superintendent Henry O’Donnell and New Superintendent Susan Gorky attended a recent Department Head meeting to meet Town staff. Ms. Gorky also offered to meet with the Board of Selectmen individually if desired.  6) White Goods Recycling Event (Walmart) – announced Blackstone Valley Regional Recycling Center will be picking up white goods at the Walmart parking lot on May 2nd and May 3rd.  7) Eagle Scout Awards – Recipients will be attending the Board of Selectmen’s Meeting on May 18, 2009, so that the Selectmen can honor their accomplishments. 8) Swine Flu Epidemic – reported that the Board of Health Administrator participated in a conference call with the Public Health Agency to address all concerns and questions pertaining to the Swine Flu.  As of now, he mentioned there are no cases in Massachusetts.

 

Selectmen’s Concerns.  Selectman Ampagoomian 1) Asked for an update on the door key card.  Town Manager Kozak replied that Mr. Sasseville is working on this and just received three quotes from three different companies.  He is in the process of analyzing and comparing them. 2) On Sunday, April 26, 2009, the Armenian Community celebrated "Martyrs Day”.  He mentioned that in Watertown there is an Armenian Museum and Library that depicts the Armenian Heritage and with that is a traveling exhibit.  He mentioned that they would like to have their exhibit placed in Whitinsville for two weeks. 3) Wanted to correct a statement he made at the last Board of Selectmen’s meeting when he mentioned that Ross Rajotte and Spaulding Aldrich were the only ones who have had something dedicated to them while they were alive, which was a false statement he made, as there were two brothers by the name of  [Lubas] that have a Memorial Square located at the intersection of Fowler Road and Sutton Street.  Selectman Nolan 1) Offered his thoughts to Craig Mahoney on the recent mowing accident that occurred at Vail Field.

2) Reminded the residents in Northbridge that Wednesday, April 29, 2009, is the last day to register to vote. 3) Asked the Town Manager if the Board/Committee Vacancy Listing is up-to- date on the Town website.  Selectman Melia 1) Thanked the DPW Director for doing a good job on the second meter/ abatement process discussion, however, he feels that the Board of Selectmen should adopt both processes.  Selectman Marzec 1) Mentioned that he’s been approached by several citizens in town regarding the roadways and would like an update.  Mr. Sasseville mentioned he would provide an assessment on the Town's roads by the end of the summer. 2) Asked about the status of the parking lot and lights behind the Pythian Building.  Mr. Sasseville informed everyone that the lights have never been connected because there is no electrical service to serve those lights.  He further indicated that he will check with the Town Planner to see if there is any grant money left from the original streetscape project (around $5,000 to $7,000).  His goal is to have the lights turned on before winter. 3) He sent an email to Mr. Sasseville about a drainage issue on Sutton Street.  4) He reported that a streetlight was turned off on Quaker Street, and a resident in that area has a safety concern.  Chairman Montecalvo suggested bringing this to the Safety Committee to have them look into it and determine if there is a safety issue.  5) He wished Craig Mahoney a speedy recovery.

 

Correspondence. Chairman Montecalvo read aloud a letter from the Boston Society of Civil Engineers, which referenced the 2009 Ralph Salvucci On-line Bridge Design Contest winners.  The article noted four students from Northbridge High School are ranked among the top 10 in the state of the thirteen plus age group.  That said, the winners are invited to attend a dinner at the Hyatt Hotel in Boston, Thursday, May 21, 2009, where they will be publicly recognized among the professional engineers of the Infrastructure Group.  Students will be rewarded with prizes and/or certificates.

 

Chairman Montecalvo asked the Selectmen if they would like to cancel their May 4, 2009 meeting.  The Board concurred and agreed to conduct a meeting on May 5, 2009, prior to the Spring Annual Town Meeting.
