Sheehan, 138 Atlantic Avenue. Steve read the letter to commission (letter attached). Mr. Sheehan does not want to pay for the 2" meter which we supplied for his new 2" meter pit and he wants to now downsize to a 1" meter and not pay the $542.00 quarterly fee which was on his most recent bill. Commissioner DeCaprio stated he would contact customer directly and speak with him. Abatements: The following abatements were presented to the Commission for review. 19 Atlantic Avenue —Agreed to waive 350.00 summer service fee. 142 Border Street-2 abatements presented both approved $650.16 and $2031.65. The customer was charged double on water usage. This should have been put up as a deductible account on the outside usage. Customer will have plumbing changed before irrigation goes on next year. 28 Reservoir Road —Abatement approved for $578.85, billing system did not calculate reading properly, program has been fixed. 130 Linden Drive —Abatement approved $476.70, leak in hot water tank. 68 Pond Street —Abatement approved $317.80, leak in hot water tank. 79 Atlantic Avenue —Abatement approved $4,086.00 leak in irrigation system. 14 Summer Street —Abatement approved $136.21, bill was overestimated. Remote then was fixed and an actual read was received. 470 King Street —Abatement denied. This was a second request from customer to waive service fee. Denial letter to be sent to customer. A request was received by the Department from a Mr. Marcus Wraight. He was looking for the Annual Statistical Reports for the past 3 years as well as any leaks which had been found. American Water put together the information and had the Commission review before mailing. The commission stated to mail out the information as prepared. Commissioner Pratt stated he received a call from Rick Tinory on behalf of son- in-law looking for abatement on the property located on Summer Street. Brenda Douglas reported that Mr. Tinory came to the office and was concerned with the usage at his daughters home. Brenda told the Commission that the Distribution staff went out to check home and found no leak. It was also stated that if Mr. Tinory was looking for abatement to this property that the appropriate paperwork needed to be filled out, and it was necessary to report the problem which caused the usage. There was a brief discussion among the Commission and it was agreed that Commissioner Glenn Pratt will contact him and state that the commission found no substantial reason to abate any form of the usage. Project Status: Phosphate: It was reported by American Water to come in at approx $33,000. Sludge Lagoons: It was reported by American Water to come in at $65,000. Little Harbor: No update, Brenda Douglas to meet with interim Finance Director, Eric Kinsherf. At that time she will confirm account coding and also check to make sure that all deposits have been credited back to the Water Department in the correct accounts. The Commissioners asked if it would be possible to get the next two quarterly bills out a week to two early. This way it would allow for more revenue to come in before the end of the fiscal year. Brenda stated she would do her best to get them out earlier. Warrant was presented to Commission and only Sludge Lagoons and Phosphate were signed. Brenda was directed that the new procedure is as follows: Warrant put together, then brought up to interim Finance Director and interim Town Manager for approval. Then brought back to Commission for their signatures then at that point brought back to Town Hall for checks to be cut. Regs & Fee Schedule Commissioner Pratt was asked by other Commissioners to look into other towns fee schedules regarding fire line connections. Attached is report. After a brief discussion it was decided to table any new fees or increases. Motion made to go into executive session. All in favor. 9:10 pm Meeting opened back up at 9:35 and motion made by Chris Seebeck to adjourn, seconded by Peter DeCaprio, all in favor, 3-0. Meeting adjourned at 9:36 pm. Respectfully Submitted, Brenda Douglas, Recording Secretary Approved By: ` , ` Date Peter ReCaprio, Clerk CohasAet Board of Water Commissioners Cohasset Water Commission Executive Session December 16, 2010 Litigation Discussion Commissioner Pratt reported that back in 2003 when acquiring parcels for $175 an acre. The property as I will refer to it "Smith" was sold for $15,000. In 2007 the property was acquired for $15,000. Commissioner Pratt stated that former Commissioner John McNabb had correspondence going to Smith stating that the Commission would pay $15,000 for the property as long as all heirs to the property were notified. Commissioner Pratt was under the understanding that all were notified. Now "Smith" wants more money and states the land has been appraised for much more than they were given and wants the difference. Commissioner DeCaprio wanted to know what the assessment was, but Commissioner Pratt did not have that information. He stated Town Counsel had not been given that information to date as well. Commissioner Pratt sated that instead of fighting just give him the land back and that way there will be no more lawyer fees. The Commission is already into the lawyers for approximately $4,000. Commissioner Pratt sated we will be out 15K plus the $4,000 but it will be done with. Commissioner DeCaprio suggested giving back the land but asking for the $15,000 back. Commissioner Seebeck stated that there may be more appropriation money so that they may be able to pay the difference, but of course not until Mr. Smith has come up with a dollar amount. Commissioner Pratt moved to end Executive Session as well as meeting, Commissioner DeCaprio seconded, in favor 3-0.
