Because they're covered under the Town's insurance, the deductible per our insurance policy was paid and we are now seeking reimbursement. We also paid the premium. Vote: 5-0 Passes r Boards and Committees . Letter from Steven Greenberg, Chairman of Mansfield School Committee, requesting a meeting with the Board of Selectmen and Finance Committee in both executive and open session on either Tuesday, May 4th, or Wednesday, May 5th. Chairman McCue noted receiving the request earlier today and askedfor the Board's input. The decision was made to meet Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. · Letter from Michael A. McClanahan, Trustee of M&M Realty Trust - withdrawing the acceptance of Michael Lane in the South Meadow Estates subdivision from the Annual Town Meeting warrant Resident Michael Grant, Humane Officer Jeffrey Collins, and Police Chief Arthur M. O'Neill were present to discuss the proposed by-law amendments relative to the Town's leash law regulations as contained within the By-Law. I"- Chief O'Neill noted as Chief of Police he is also the Animal Control Officer. He believes the leash law as written is fine. Mr. Collins, as Humane Officer, comes in somewhere Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 28, 2004 2 .r--- between the two and he will defer to Mr. Collins' position as he is the one who carries out the regulations on a daily basis. He offered his total support to Mr. Collins. r- Mr. Grant referred to the re-worded proposal he sent to the Board and to Mr. Collins for review. Subsequent to that he spoke to Mr. Collins and they have agreed to three modifications. VII-a and VII-c were revised. Town Manager D'Agostino noted it's the motion that is actually voted on and this can be included on Town Meeting floor. They agreed to have fences three feet high to contain larger dogs. Also under Section VII a added "dogs being used for hunting, dogs involved in a properly organized and permitted dog show". VII c added "within one calendar year" for the number of violations. Selectman MacCaffrie suggested after Selectmen add "or those persons designated by the Board of Selectmen" Chapter 140 Section 157 MGL - Section VII Enforcement. Selectman McCarter noted who holds the hearing has come up before during the Charter review process and there was a reason that he doesn't recall at the moment as to why the responsibility remained with the Board of Selectmen. Chairman McCue clarified that the reference to electric fence is the invisible fence system. Mr. Grant outlined the changes, noting he and Mr. Collins disagree on VI (B) as to the means of keeping the dog under control and reviewed the provisions of that portion of the by-law. Mr. Collins agreed with his logic, but could not agree with the reason for including it in the by-law. Mr. Grant noted with the electronic fence there is not always a barrier and you are not aware that you're entering the dog's territory. He believes not allowing dogs to be confined to the front yard with the use of an electronic fence will allow people to approach the house safety without unknowingly entering the dog's territory. Selectman Achille questioned why the burden should be on the homeowner rather than the person entering the yard, noting the dog may be there for the protection of the property. Selectman MacCaffrie referred to Mr. Collins' version and suggested adding "and/or electronic fence" rather than the remainder of the verbiage. Mr. Collins clarified his intent. Mr. Grant cited statistics on dog attacks on and off the owner's property, noting the territorial drive of a dog is instinctive. An attempt to reach a compromise was made, with Mr. Collins having difficulty with telling a property owner what they can and cannot do on their property. He believes an owner should be allowed to determine if a dog must be restrained on its own property. Selectman Amoruso questioned if a dog already trained whether it would have to be re-trained if the electronic boundary is moved Mr. Grant summarized the remainder of the amendment in Section VII - Restraint, which included a revised fine schedule for offenses. Mr. Collins cited instances of reported offenses wherein there were several, and each time he brought forth the offense the dog- owner increased the restraint used and the dog was still able to get by it. Motion: To open the scheduled 8:15 p.m. public hearing on the Light Department Director Charter Amendment (Amoruso-Achille) 5-0 Passes Motion: To continue the public hearing for five minutes or the conclusion of the current topic r (Amoruso-MacCaffrie) 5-0 Passes Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 28, 2004 3 r Chief O'Neill interjected that the use of "shall" and "may" are recognized by the law and are indicative of the seriousness of the intent. Selectman Achille favored allowing the Humane Officer greater discretion than would be aI/owed by Mr. Grant's amendment. Mr. Collins said he is uncomfortable with the wording that violations "shall" be subject to the fines established. He reviewed the procedure he currently uses in such situations. Mr. Grant explained the rationale for changing Section VII (f.) Selectman Amoruso asked if signage is employed, noting that a guard dog is on the property, would be considered sufficient warning. Mr. Grant noted some dogs don't even feel the shock produced by an electronic fence. Selectman MacCaffrie cited instances he's aware of with dogs being used for protection within a fenced area. Mr. Grant noted his reference to front yard fencing also refers to "electronic" fences. Otherwise his by-law would allow dogs in the front yard with a visible fence. Mr. Collins pointed out that presently there is nothing he can do if a dog is on its own property. Mr. Grant's amendment would change that and require greater restraint. Mr. Grant noted this section of the law has not been changed in seventy-three years and the population now is much different than it was then. He further pointed out that any public safety law can be an inconvenience to the public. Mr. Collins suggested in his opinion Mr. Grant's amendment is going a bit too far. Selectman MacCaffrie suggested he's not inclined to want to hold dog hearings on a regular basis and would like to see this handled outside of the Board of Selectmen. He would prepare some amendments for further consideration next week. ~ Selectman McCarter asked the Police Chief why we don't have Level 3 sex offenders on the internet. The Chief noted we did but had to take them off on the advice of the Attorney General's Office. We currently have four Level 3 's, one of whom is living here, and it's posted at various locations throughout town. It's handled by Lt. Crickard Anyone can come to the Police Station and file the proper request and get the information. Selectmen returned to the suspended public hearing, noting a letter was received from developer Michael McClanahan withdrawing the article. It will remain on the Annual Town Meeting Warrant and will be withdrawn at that time. The legal notice as it appeared in The Sun Chronicle on April 14, 2004 was read into the record. ~ Motion: To open the public hearing at 8:33 p.m. (MacCaffrie-Amoruso) 5-0 Passes Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 28, 2004 4 " r Discussion was opened and public comment was invited. There was none forthcoming from the public. Selectman MacCaffrie questioned why the law has changed since 1997. It was noted the law has not changed, but rather the interpretation of the current Attorney General is different than that of a prior Attorney General. Selectman MacCaffrie said he believes that a minor change does not have to go to Ballot; a major one does. Chairman McCue suggested we go forward and submit it to the Attorney General for approval. If it gets approved, fine--otherwise if it has to be put on the ballot it will be done. Selectman Achille noted he was on the Planning Board a year ago when the article was proposed. He said it is a valid concern because if a member is absent and another member has to recuse himself for any reason, an applicant must then get a unanimous vote. It was determined it would operate the same as the Zoning Board of Appeals which has two associate members who participate and vote when a regular member is unable to do so.. Motion: To close the public hearing at 8:41 p.m. (MacCaffrie-Achille) 5-0 Passes Motion: To support the article (Mac-Achille) 5-0 Passes r Motion: To reopen the public hearing at 8:41 p.m. (MacCaffrie-Achille) 5-0 Passes Clerk Achille read notice of public hearing as it appeared in The Sun Chronicle on April 14, 2004. Light Commission Chairman MacCaffrie noted the original issue came up when the job description was being reviewed and he found in reading the Town Charter the description of the Light Department that it was in direct conflict with MGL Chapter 164 Section 34. There is a job description for the Light Department Director and Manager that fit the way it's supposed to be under 164 and the Charter is in conflict with it. r Town Manager D' Agostino noted this does not eliminate the position, but rather allows flexibility for the manager to appoint a director and determine the powers the position would have. Counsel's opinion is based on a situation which occurred when he was Blackstone's Town Manager. He elaborated on the situation and the problems created with the Treasurer/Collector as a result. The change does not prohibit us from having the Town Manager as the Manager of the Light Department. Chapter 164 allows us to appoint a Light Department Manager-it doesn't say who it has to be. The Charter says only who it may be. Selectman McCarter said he believes it's problematic, noting there's inconsistency between the Charter and Massachusetts General Laws. He doesn't disagree with the situation the way it is, but believes it needs to be better defined The Charter only gives limited authority to Town Manager and the Charter cannot supercede Chapter 164-it can supplement the Charter, but the Charter cannot supplement Chapter 164. He also believes there should be someone to purchase power on a regular basis. It Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 28, 2004 5 r was noted the Manager appoints the Director to do that. Selectman McCarter agreed that the Light Department should answer to the Town Manager, but noted his belief that the description of the Director of the Light Department was a stumbling block. Motion: To close the public hearing at 8:52 p.m. ( Mac-Amoruso) 5-0 Passes Motion: To support the article at Town Meeting (MacCaffrie-Amoruso) 4-1 with Selectman McCarter opposed Passes Present for the discussion were DPW Director Lee M. Azinheira, Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations Manager Ken Hackett, and Electrical Engineer Robesrt Prata of CampDresserMcKee (CDM). (' Mr. Azinheira reported that on December 16, 2003 there was a power failure at the wastewater treatment plant, followed by failure of the switchgear and generator, resulting in the need to discharge untreated sewerage. It began just before noon on Tuesday and they went back on full power just prior to midnight. We had support from DPW, Engineering, the Light Department, and Norton, along with various contractors. It took a concerted effort to minimize the impact both financially and environmentally. The concern was the sewerage was building up in the interceptor to the point it began flooding the main pump room. It was the most difficult situation he has encountered professionally. They have reviewed the entire situation and evaluated various components of the failure. There had been a power failure two weeks prior without incident, so there was no reason that this situation could have been anticipated. Mr. Azinheira also reviewed the parallel effort of filing with DEP and the reports and timelines that were prepared to demonstrate that this would not happen again. We filed with our insurance company, the manufacturer of the switchgear was contacted. $66,000 was the initial claim filed. We provided a subsequent detailed payroll. Negotiations have been on-going. We have one service feed with two transformers. About 7-8 years ago as a cost-saving measure we took one of the transformers off-line. Everything continued to operate for the next seven years. If the second transformer was on at the time, we believe half the plant would have been powered and the problems would have been minimized. The switchgear has failed twice in the past. r Selectman MacCaffrie asked why the second transformer didn't feed half the pumps like it was designed to. Mr. Hackett said the 6 Amp fuse blew. They don't know why. Mr. Prata stated they blow over time due to frequency changes or fatigue. Selectman MacCaffrie suggested it may have been a maintenance issue if the original fuses were in there for the last eighteen years. Mr. Prata noted relay logic is being used, which is pretty much passé in this day and age. Many of the circuit breakers are out of adjustment and in dire need of repair. It's the entire switchgear that's in disrepair and the focus Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 28, 2004 6 r r r shouldn't be on /uses. Selectman MacCaffrie suggested only a portion of the system may need to be replaced. Mr. Hackett noted the difjèrence between fuses and relay, pointing out they couldn't get the ti-ebreaker to close. Mr. Prata explainted that the way the system was designed there are two of everything connected through the tie-breaker. Not only was there a relay fail, there was a fuse that failed and interlocks that didn't function, suggesting that it can't be determine that's exactly what happened They physically closed the breaker because the pins were not aligned correctly. There were many issues going on in addition to the three power failures. Selectman MacCaffrie suggested manual operation would be more reliable, going back to the basic system of not relying on something electronic. He asked if that's been investigated and how the cost compares of a manual system versus the sophisticated high-tech equipment. Mr. Hackett suggested that is an over- simplification, noting you can't have one giant breaker that feeds the whole plant. There are sub-rooms. We could have a manual transfer switch, which we're looking for, from Mass Electric or a generator. Selectman MacCafffrie stated the switchgear itself is not reliable and has to be replaced. He doesn't ever want to rely on I and wants something that can be done manually. Mr. Prata said it would be the first plant he's ever seen with an operation of that type. Chairman McCue noted Selectman MacCaffrie knows a lot about these matters and pointed out that he's asking questions to satisfy his doubts and concerns and is not telling them how to remedy the situation. He has valuable experience that he's sharing. Selectman MacCaffrie noted that usually when a building is blowing circuits we find out why and fix it. The first issue is the fuses were old. Mr. Prata noted the system worked satisfactorily just a week prior to that. Nobody could have known a fuse was going to blow. Selectman McCarter asked what the industry standards or guidelines are for replacing fuses. Once a year you go in and do a complete check of the switching and the cables. They were thoroughly checked about six years ago. Selectman MacCaffrie pointed out there should have been a recommendation that bus fuses are old there and to start changing them out. They develop a weakness after working that long. He stated he has no problem with their being changed, but we're being asked instead to change equipment. Mr. Hackett pointed out we're talking about old equipment that GE no longer supports. It's $10,000 just to change one switch. Mr. Prata suggested that instead of changing and re-routing everything we can save the feeder section of the existing switch and rebuild the breakers, noting at this time we're just going to move the automatic transfer. Mr. Hackett said he thought it was viable until we started getting into it. Mr. Prata reviewed the drawbacks of a manual system, noting they get out of line and don't operate. Selectman MacCaffrie pointed out we'd still have to rely on a human when something's wrong. With a manual switch the power is on; the power is off. If everything goes and the generator is running it's not a problem. When that fails, it gets very complicated. Mr. Prata further explained that it's a fail-safe system the prevents human error in powering up the supply. In a panic situation you could end up with a disastrous situation relying on human intervention. Selectman MacCaffrie questioned the comment that the system cannot operate the entire plant and asked if it was ever designed and intended to operate the entire plant. Mr. Hackett reported no, only half Selectman MacCaffrie said he believes some of the alternate ideas may be good and doesn't think we need to throwaway a 450 KV A generator and replace it with a 750. Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 28, 2004 7 '. r DPW Director Azinheira reviewed the recommendations made. He noted a proposal has to be prepared and submitted They have a substantial level of control. It must be reviewed and must meet the standards. Selectman McCarter agree with Selectman MacCaffrie and doesn't want to spend money if we don't have to. He also doesn't want to find us in the same situation again and be whacked with a big fine. r- Town Manager D' Agostino said we need to balance the situation and have to run it in the most reliable fashion. It's being run on Ken Hackett's license. We have to rely on the engineers we hire to provide us with the best possible advice that we can get. He also agrees with Selectman MacCaffrie that we need some manual operation to rely on. We do have a responsibility to the Townspeople to make sure that the end result is reliable and allows us to switch our power base without failure. We shouldn't forget that this system worked well for many years. Discussion continued regarding the technical aspects of the system, manual vs. automated operation, and the intended solution to the problem. Selectman Maccaffrie pointed out he's not suggesting a totally manual system, but rather a way to override the system manually if something goes wrong. It was also clarified that only the switchgears would be moved outside and the system can continue to operate while it's being built. Three people came up with the same recommendation and that's what was priced out. Selectman MacCaffrie suggested the estimated costs should have been comprehensive and not just presented as the cost of the equipment. DPW Director Azinheira said he has reviewed Mr. Prata's information and provided additional information. Selectman MacCaffrie asked if this will all have to be redone for the plant expansion. The matter was further discussed, with it being noted that if it's put off, we'll lose the money invested in the repair of the existing one. Selectman MacCaffrie stressed that he wants to make sure a regular maintenance program is established when we get the new system. Mr. Prada responded, noting switchgears should be inspected and tested once per year. It's not necessary to change fuses on motors switches with the exception of the hidden ones Selectman Maccajfrie is talking about. The system should also be tested under power failure conditions once a month and the generators run every two weeks. DPW Director Azinheira noted that right now we're a little too nervous to mess around with anything and testing it weekly at this point would put too much stress on the system. The pumps physically have to run and there needs to be a way to get them working. Selectman MacCaffrie asked that they also look to be sure there's not a secondary problem. Mr. Hackett said they're looking at using a ScADA system that would stagger the load Chairman McCue concluded the discussion, with the Town Manager suggesting we visit Foxboro and Norton and do a presentation to them as, they will be sharing in the cost. Town Meeting is coming up and he will be looking for the Board's support on the recommendation of $1.2 million for the transfer switch and generator. Another look can be taken at it when we have a final figure, but it won't change much. Selectman MacCaffrie said he doesn't mind supporting the $1.2 million, but wants to maintain flexibility as to how it's going to be done. Selectman Amoruso, referring to the non-compliance letter, asked if we have an estimate as to what the fine may be and where the money will come from. DPW Director Azinheira noted his belief that if that is their intention we would have been notified of the fine already. We've responded and kept them aware of all that we are doing. Mansfield is considered one of the best plants in the region and this failure has them concerned about the others. .~ Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 28, 2004 8 r- If we act in a prudent manner and follow through on the Notice of Intent, it's not anticipated that there will be a problem. · Jeff Garr of Helena Circle - said he is here to say he believes the Board and John D' Agostino do a wonderful job in this town. Too many times he sees the tirade of George Dentino and is disturbed by it. He's also concerned that Mr. Dentino is running for selectman and is concerned about how much would get accomplished with him on the board. He appreciates the job being done by the present administration. · Leonard Flynn, Jewell Street - just came from a SRPEDD meeting at which the construction of the slip ramp(s) from Route 140/495 was one of the things on the list. Roland Hebert noted the decision to construct just one would be made by MassHighway. Chairman McCue indicated he will address that tomorrow. On the matter of the bridges not getting done, it was reported that it's happening all over the State. MassHighway doesn't have the money. On a personal note, Mr. Flynn spoke of a situation on Jewell Street. He noted the Light Department is proposing to use 54 foot long rectangular poles 30 inches on one side, 15 on the other. He said he's never seen a pole like that. Jewell Street is a scenic way and he believes this would have a negative visual impact. One will be right across from the pond and he believes it will r detract from it. He was told it's required and he doesn't believe it's worth the money, or appropriate on a scenic way. Selectman MacCaffrie noted the poles will be 13-14 feet in the ground. They're still in the process with Lee and Engineering on the needs assessment. They're asking that a hearing be held at the next Light Commissioners meeting. Mr. Flynn suggested the poles can be used on another street that is not a scemc way. Town Manager D' Agostino: · In speaking with Bea Kearney she plans to get the RFP completed and out to bid after the conclusion of Town Meeting for the auditor for Town/Light Dept. Her time is committed to the preparation of the budget at this time. It will be bid both collectively and individually after Town Meeting. Part of the 2003 audit will be in our fiscal year. r- · Has contacted Foxboro to see if their Veterans agent can provide services for a period of two months. It is his understanding that the individual is not interested on a permanent, continual basis, but is willing to help out. He has also prepared a letter regarding a regional approach. Norton has just lost their agent to a higher paying position in Attleboro. There may be some interest there. Selectman Maccaffrie Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 28, 2004 9 ,.- noted that, speaking from a Veterans perspective, he is not going to go against the wishes of the veterans of this town or others. He asks only that they understand the budget constraints. We have contacted Easton, Norton, and other area towns. If there is any interest we can pursue it. He is also trying to set up a meeting with the Board and some of the veteran groups. We have received applications from two interested citizens also. ,.- · We have further reduced the Town budget to reflect the recommendation of the Finance Committee. In our approach to the budget reduction we have cut DPW and Public Safety and eliminated all new hires. The Assessor is still in the budget at the Chief level. Council on Aging is level funded, as are other small departments. Programs and collective bargaining agreements will be honored with the exception of the Fire Department. We have increased refuse collection in anticipation of the increased tonnage of disposals. We're recycling less, throwing away more, currently saving $15,000 on recycling and spending $26,000 on disposal tonnage. The Charter School charges moved as part of the Cherry Sheet which can be dangerous. He reviewed all enterprise accounts with the exception of the Airport Commission, who may be going directly to the FinCom. Selectman McCarter mentioned the chart in the newspaper regarding the regional per pupil expenditure. He asked if Mansfield's figures include the cost of the health insurance that we pick up. The Town Manager said he doesn't believe they do. He noted the Charter School costs should also be included. The figures generated from the State. Selectman Amoruso suggested the State number may be transferred to the Charter School they're going to. He will be providing a detailed summary next week. · We still have a structural deficit of $3.75 million after our $500,000 cut. We have a long way to go to get to a balanced budget. · Announced that he's reached a decision regarding the hiring of the Director for the Municipal Light Department. Gary Babin of Wellesley has been selected. He is well-qualified all around and can lead the department forward. The most important objective will be the ability of the director and staff to work together cooperatively. He reviewed Mr. Babin's resume and said he anticipates and expects staff will continue to work well together and provide their respect and support to Mr. Babin. He also thanked Acting Director Ann Langille for her work and support during this most difficult period. He will establish a starting date for Mr. Babin and will advise the Board. He is in the process of establishing the salary and will provide the information when everything is finalized. · The Police Department has ratified their contract. In it they have eliminated the Quinn bill for all new hires and moved to 70/30 split for healthcare. Only the non- supervisory union has not yet ratified. ,.- Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 28, 2004 10 r Selectman MacCaffrie: · Fuel depot - said he won't bother asking, but it was supposed to be done by end of April, asking if it's been moved to the end of May now. Selectman McCarter: · Asked how we're making out with our proposed new business in town. Expect to hear something tomorrow and hope to have something definite then. Selectman Achille: · Trash and recycling issue - we discussed a recycling enhancement program and in yesterday's Sun Chronicle there was an article about Wrentham and how they've structured it. According to article they pay $95/ton (we're at $82) and should reduce the trash tonnage by 20% with this program. We've been talking about the same process for months. Selectman MacCaffrie noted the memorandum in the reading file from DPW Office Manager Betty Amicone which addresses questions asked the prior week. Selectman Achille asked the Town Manager to get information on Wrentham's policy. .r- Selectman McCue: · He has been mentioned in two significant newspaper articles in the last week and said he wants to assure residents he will seek no other position or seek any other office that will compromise his ability to serve Mansfield as a selectman Selectman MacCaffrie: · Attorney General Reilly in a "Public Power" article spoke about getting together to fight R TO's. He requested that we ask him to employ the powers of his office to do so. r · Went down to Conservation Office tonight looking for information and there was nobody there and nobody who could find the file. He asked how someone does business when the Conservation Agent is away. During the week Karen Lawlor is there from 9-11 and is reachable at the number posted on the door. The Town Manager also noted the information can be obtained through other offices. He offered to get him the file he is looking for tomorrow. There is general backup. Selectman MacCaffrie noted the need for a cross-training method. He pointed out the Planning Director supervises the Conservation Agent and his secretary should be cross-trained so if somebody comes in for information on a Wednesday night, someone can provide it. He was looking for two files on cases he asked for several weeks ago and has not yet been provided with. His questions may be answered if he gets the information, but can't get it the night of the meeting and read and digest it.
