Gjesteby Minutes of the Cohasset Board of Water Commissioners 339 King Street— Water Treatment Plant March 25, 2015 @ 11:00 am Members Present: Leonora Jenkins, Chairman Dan Varney, Vice-Chairman Rolf Gjesteby, Clerk Recording Secretary: Brenda Douglas Guests Present: Mary Gallagher, Kevin McCarthy, Motion made by Lee seconded by Dan to call the meeting to order at 11:00 am. Lee stated that the board received letter from the Water RFP Selection Committee and Chris Senior, copies are available at the Water Treatment Plant. Both ranked Woodard& Curran first and Veolia Water North America second. Chris recommended that the Board of Water Commissioners authorize that a contract be entered into with Woodard& Curran. Rolf made a motion to accept the recommendation to follow thru with Woodard& Curran for contract operations of the Water Department, and this was seconded by Dan. All in favor. There was a brief discussion about the FY2016 operating budget. Maintenance and Extraordinary maintenance were increased significantly due to the fact that they have been under budgeted in the past, and it has been necessary to get monies from retained earnings as well as capital in order to pay the daily operating costs. Clerical was reduced and so was CCR, but those were put into other line items. Mary stated that the indirect costs drop to 118,545. That will leave $8,271.00 and Lee suggested putting it into General Operations. Mary stated that the expenditures are higher than the revenue by $2,375.00. To correct that, the General Operations will be increased by $57,846, which should be the final number for general operations. Motion made by Dan to accept budget as is with the changes. Budge 4,852,780.00. This was seconded by Rolf all in favor. 339 King Street, Cohasset, Massachusetts 02025 Tel: (781) 383-0057 Fax: (781) 383-2906 Lee mentioned that she sent a notice to Chris about the increase in hydrant fees.
