CEO & TREASURER:
Mrs. Hogan reviewed a RFP for a water rate analysis. At the previous meeting there were a lot of questions from the commissioners about water rates. Mrs. Hogan recommends
comprehensive study be completed now that we have the Asset Management Plan for the water system. Mrs. Hogan requested that the advertisements be run for 4 more days.
Mrs. Hogan reviewed the community support program for 2024 and 2023. The variance between this report and prior year is a $410 additional charge for hydrants and 21 unmetered street lights.
Mrs. Hogan will meet with Chief Miller to discuss the hydrant fees for 2026. We were hoping for a phased in increase to get this rate to represent closer to market. We are billing less than 30% compared to other towns. Commissioner MacNeil requested that the hydrant analysis for 2015 be updated so a full understanding of what it costs to maintain the system is available.
Mrs. Hogan reviewed the profit & loss statement for the period ending May 31, 2025. The month of May was very cold, so revenues met projections. The year-to-date results are $217,554 compared with budget of $413,863. The difference represents transmission and spot market costs during the 1st quarter.
Commissioner Ross made a motion to accept the financial statements as presented and authorize a copy to be provided to the selectboard, seconded by Commissioner MacNeil.
The vote was in favor of the motion 3-0-0.
Mrs. Hogan noted that the chemical monitoring waiver application has been submitted for North Branch intake and the Brickyard well. This is required every 3 years. We will also be sending out a letter to approximately 100 residents and businesses which are in the 400’ radius as required by DES.
Mrs. Hogan reviewed some handbook policies with the commissioners.
