Interest on MMWEC funds
Commissioner Madan would like a total of interest income to appear on the monthly
financial statements. The Manager stated that he could provide a sub schedule to show
the total interest income. The Manager was also instructed to find out how much
MMWEC is charging us for administrative costs. The Manager stated that Mr.
Wesolowski from MMWEC will be at the next meeting and he will explain how and what
MMWEC is charging for administrative costs. Commissioner Madan also stated that he
would like the Manager to run the MMWEC investments by the Town Treasurer.
STREET LIGHT POLICY
Commissioner Madan stated that he would like a policy on reporting street lights that are
out. The Manager advised the Board that he had placed a message on the local cable
channel and had also asked Chief O'Neil if Ire would ask his officers to report any street
lights which were out. Commissioner Madan said he would give this new policy one
week to see if it works out but he also would like the Manager to see how North
Attleboro deals with this problem.

weld what is there until 1998.

Substation Expansion
17•iM911
A ballpark estimate to expand the substation which should take care of twenty years of
growth is three and a half to four million dollars. The funds for this project would come
from our depreciation fund and from our working capital account.
Personnel Policy
Commissioner Madan asked the Manager to review the draft of the updated Personnel
Policy and return with his comments to the Assistant Town Manager.
Bid Processing
Commissioner Madan asked the Manager why we are using a different office supply
company than the Town Hall. The Manager said he would find out who the Town Hall is
using and begin using this company.
