There was a plugged main on Broad Street which was cleared using the jet rodder. We received a report from Stearns & Wheler, LLC regarding the plant performance during recent stress testing. The stress testing supported the Villages request to re-rate the plant from 850,000gpd to 1.3 million gpd. The report has been forwarded to DEC. We have installed 2 new pumps and have 4 to be installed to upgrade the plant for the Barton Water/Sewer project. Plant continues to perform well.

Also present were Clerk Treasurer Wood, Plant Operator Killgore, Attorney Keene, Kristy Westbrook from the Morning Times, and Jeff Smith from Municipal Solutions.
Clarifier Repair Project: Senior Commissioner Kahn stated he asked Jeff Smith, from Municipal Solutions, to join us for discussion on possibly bonding for the project costs. He stated the Board is unsure if it is more feasible to bond for all, part, or none of the cost. He stated we currently have enough funds available in our reserve fund to cover the costs of the project. Jeff Smith offered the Board options for financing the clarifier repair project. He stated the borrowing rates for BAN’s are very low, under 2%, currently. He stated there is grant money available from the Environment Facility Corporation; however, not sure this project is large enough to qualify because it’s based on a 30-year repayment. He said USDA Rural Development has a back log of projects and didn’t feel they would be an option. He also stated it’s a keen bidding environment as contractors are available this time of year. Mr. Smith stated he feels that having a reserve fund is necessary for doing small jobs. He also stated that there are costs involved with borrowing. Discussion followed.
Senior Commissioner Kahn thanked Mr. Smith for offering options to Board, and stated this would help the Board with future discussions regarding whether or not to bond.
Adjournment: Commissioner Engelbert moved to adjourn at 3:15 p.m. Commissioner Hoppe
seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

Lewis McCaffrey, Ph.D.: Dr. McCaffrey made a presentation to the Board regarding using purified municipal wastewater for hydraulic fracturing. He proposed the Village of Waverly grant his company exclusive rights to manufacture water to companies that need it for fracking, which would be paid per volume at an agreed upon rate and expenses. He stated the village would need to file an alteration request to the SPEDES permit. He also stated SRBC and NYDEC would get involved because there would be a decrease in nutrients into the river due to discharge. Large truck traffic would require NYS Enviromental Quality Review be done.
Dr. McCaffrey stated his company would pay for a feasablity study if granted exclusive rights. He stated the next step would be an outline agreement covering some exclusive rights and he then can proceed with approaching companies. Mayor Leary inquired if the agreement can be taken to PA to sell water now. McCaffrey stated the infrastructure already exists in PA and the modification of SPEDES permit would require public consultation. Commissioner Hoppe inquired if there would be any costs to the plant. McCaffrey stated there will be expenses for the cost of storage, pumps, and tanks. The expense would be shared due to both benefiting from the sales.
Senior Commissioner Kahn stated the Board is interested in the concept and would like an agreement for the attorney and engineers to review. Senior Commissioner Kahn inquired about potential amount that would be charged for the water. McCaffrey stated approximately $1.00 per 1,000 gallons.
Sale of Vehicle/Truck: Mayor Leary stated the code enforcement vehicle blew the transmission and our code officer has been using his personal truck. Mayor Leary had inquired if there were any village vehicles not being used and was informed about the truck at the sewer plant. He stated he had the truck checked and code wouldn’t be able to use it. He would like any unused vehicles to be sold. Mayor Leary stated he was informed they do use the truck and he is concerned because the truck is not inspected. Mayor Leary stated he wants all vehicles up to date and if the vehicle is used he would consider keeping it and can reject bids turned in for vehicle purchase. Discussion followed regarding registration, inspection, and possible repairs. Senior Commissioner Kahn stated they would review the cost effectiveness of repairing the truck versus other options.
Letters and Communications: Danielle Shoultes of 215 William Street requested reduction of her bill due to two breaks in the pipes in her basement. Discussion followed.
