5.      Informational Meeting & Public Hearing – Rubber Bag Bond Vote on 9/19/17:

 

Reg Beliveau, Village Manager, presented the Board and public with a power point presentation on the rubber bag dam. He showed a video of when the bag failed because of a tear in it. He also showed how they did a slow release and said it was too dangerous to put someone inside the bag to try and fix the tear. He said right now they are having an issue with silt getting into the intake structure. Suzanne Washburn asked if there was any way to hold the silt back and Reg said no there wasn’t. This is some of the information he provided the Board with in his presentation:

 

Background:

·         Original Bridgestone rubber Dam was installed in the early 1990s as part of the hydro plant upgrades and sits on top of a 15’ concrete dam.

·         Life of the dam was estimated to be 25 years.

·         It is 220’ feet long, 15’ in diameter.

·         This brings the total dam height to 30 feet, or an operating height of 190’ above sea level.

·         Bridgestone notified the Village around 2010 that it was no longer manufacturing rubber dams.

·         Swanton’s management began researching other potential manufacturing companies in expectation of a replacement being needed in the near future (expected 2018).

June 14, 2017:

·         On the afternoon of June 14^th the on duty hydro operator noticed that one of the blowers that keeps the dam inflated kicked off.

·         The blower was reset and blower #2 came on but the air pressure kept dropping.

·         A visual inspection of the dam revealed a tear causing the air to release on the east side of the dam.

·         Management decided that making a repair from the inside of the dam was too dangerous, and no possible repair could be done from the outside of the bladder.

·         The Village activated the EAP and notified Federal, State and local agencies.

·         A slow release of the air pressure to the dam was initiated and downstream was monitored by emergency personnel.

Plant Operations:

·         In the aftermath of the dam deflation, 15 feet of dam height is gone along with the impoundment.

·         The plant was not designed nor constructed to run efficiently with only a 15 foot dam (175 asl).

·         The plant is experiencing operational issues generating with only 15 feet of water. The problems are sludge, silt, and trash racks are plugging causing loss generation.

Next Steps:

·         Management and the Board of Trustees needed to work fast to get the new dam ordered because the manufacturing of it is over 6 months long.

·         Installation needs to happen before the weather gets too cold and the rubber becomes less pliable.

·         Steps could be taken to “heat” the area with a tent, but that would increase the costs dramatically.

·         The manufacturer has committed to a 3 month manufacturing time.

·         The selected contractor will be on site the end of September to prepare for the new dam.

·         The dam is expected to arrive in the middle of October.

·         Installation is expected to be finished by the middle of November.

Financial Impact:

·         Without the 15’ rubber dam, the monetary impact for the first year alone would be a minimum of $275,000, which in normal circumstances would cause a rate increase.

·         That amount is estimated to increase each year with a cumulative impact thru 2024, the year of the FERC license renewal of $1.8 million dollars. Over the life of the rubber dam, the impact is estimated to be $5.7 million dollars.

·         The new rubber dam has a life expectancy of 25 years.

·         The project costs are $2.2 million dollars.

·         The bond would be paid back over 25 years, $88,000 in principal per year plus interest.

·         Total debt service per year would be approximately $152,000.

·         The debt service (loan payback) would not impact the rates.

What Are We Doing to Keep Rates Level:

·         Swanton is 100% renewable so we were able to get out of some renewable purchase power requirements, saving over $150 thousand dollars per year.

·         The hydro facility is in the process of being taken out of the power market beginning in October 2017.

·         That means an estimated potential $1 million dollar reduction in purchase power per year.

·         Going forward we would be considered as “behind the meter” which means we will use the generation to offset our electric load.

The Future:

·         We are seeing an increase of solar in the service territory.

 

Suzanne Washburn asked if the Village had put any money away for this rubber bag. Lynn stated they are not allowed to do that and said they need to take out debt service. Tony Russo asked if there would be any State issues on the replacement of the bag. Reg said not so far and said everything is going good with the Agency of Natural Resources and the Army Corps. He said they are hoping this bond vote is approved and that the bag is installed before spring run-off. He said the Public Service Board has approved their 108 filing and now the Village needs the taxpayers to approve this. Eugene LaBombard stated that the Village was in the process of replacing this bag, this leak just moved it up. Lynn said the Village lost out on this wet summer and lost generation because of that. Neal Speer also wanted to mention that this rubber bag is cheaper than the original bag. The Board of Trustees encouraged all to come out and vote yes and show their support for this new rubber bag.

 

6.      Any Other Necessary Business:

 

None.

 

7.      Public Comment:

 

None.

 

8.      Executive Session to Discuss Legal Matters:

 

Adam Paxman made the motion to enter into Executive Session to discuss Legal Matters at 8:00 p.m. Eugene LaBombard seconded. Motion carried.

 

Chris Leach made the motion to exit Executive Session at 8:57 p.m. Adam Paxman seconded. Motion carried.

 

ACTION TAKEN: None.

 

 

 

 

 

9.      Adjournment:

 

Chris Leach made the motion to adjourn the Regular Board of the Trustees meeting and Public Informational Meeting at 8:57 p.m. Adam Paxman seconded. There being no further business at hand, Neal Speer, Village President, adjourned the meeting at 8:57 p.m. Motion carried.

5.      Elisabeth Nance, Economic Development Coordinator – Resolution for Municipal Planning Grant:

 

Elisabeth Nance, Economic Development Coordinator, stated she wanted to give an update regarding the Resolution for Municipal Planning Grant. She said this grant would be run through the Town of Swanton but said she is requesting a Resolution Letter of Support to be signed by the Village Trustees. She said this is part of the Swanton Enhancement Project Development Task Force which Adam Paxman is a chair. She said they would like to hold a forum sometime in October of 2018. She said they have identified some areas on how to bring in new businesses and how to help existing businesses expand. She said it’s hard for businesses to expand because they just don’t have the physical ability to do so. She said for available expanding space there isn’t 10,000 square feet available. She said they are also looking at affordable, decent rental housing and child care. She said her hope is they can bring in experts from the community to help them with those target areas. She said the good news is that there is no match for this Municipal Planning Grant of up to $8000.

 

Reg Beliveau, Village Manager, read the Resolution for Support of an Application for a Municipal Planning Grant aloud which reads: Whereas, the Village of Swanton Board of Trustees strongly encourages and wishes to continue to promote new business opportunities, to support existing businesses, and to make Swanton a vibrant  and robust community where its residents live, work, play, shop, and worship; and whereas, the Village of Swanton Board of Trustees wishes to continue to encourage and promote the revitalization of Swanton; and whereas, the Village of Swanton Board of Trustees wishes to continue to provide property owners, business owners, and residents in our community with the opportunity to participate in and have access to planning for the future development of Swanton; now, therefore be it resolved as follows:

 

1. That the Village of Swanton Board of Trustees strongly supports pursuing a Municipal Planning Grant by the Swanton Town Selectboard that will fund an economic development forum; and

 

2. That Swanton Economic Development Coordinator, Elisabeth Nance, is hereby recognized as the primary contact person responsible to coordinate all activities associated with applying for the Municipal Planning Grant.

 

Neal Speer, Village President, asked if this forum was open to the whole State of Vermont. Elisabeth stated that it was for Swanton only. She said she is looking forward to some community involvement because they may have some ideas other than hers. She talked about attracting developers to Swanton and encouraged anyone with ideas to contact her. She said she is also working on a list of commercial properties and if anyone is looking to expand there will be a list of what’s available.

 

Eugene LaBombard made the motion to sign the Resolution for Support of an Application for a Municipal Planning Grant. Adam Paxman seconded. Motion carried. The Swanton Village Board of Trustees signed the Resolution.

 

Elisabeth informed the board that she is working with Tim Smith from FCIDC as well as the State of Vermont on a couple of projects that have the potential to be great for Swanton. She said some of her smaller projects include trying to get a local building ADA accessible. She said they are working on doing some beautification projects on some of the vacant buildings in Swanton and this is harder than she thought it would be. Reg stated that he has been working with Elisabeth on some ideas and projects and he said their collaboration is working very well. She can work on some of these projects and keep him informed as to what’s going on. The Board thanked Elisabeth for her hard work on Swanton Village and Swanton Town as a whole.

 

6.      Chief of Police Joey Stell – Village Police Department Update:

 

Chief of Police Joey Stell stated that the summer has gone fairly well and said vandalism complaints are down compared to last summer. He said the new Sergeant is working out very well and has been team building with the other officers. He said they painted their office and added some new cabinets and said the officers did the labor themselves. Chief said he has mapped out some Village streets that have consistent speeding issues and those streets are Spring Street, Canada Street and Grand Avenue. He said First Street is not an issue at this time. He said they are targeting those areas. He stated they are finalizing some details and plans but are inviting the community to their National Night Out on October 21^st of this year. He said there will be a cookout and activities for the kids. Neal Speer asked about the carbon monoxide issue in the cruiser. Chief stated that depended on who you asked and said there has been no straight answer from anyone. He said modifying the vehicles after they are purchased is not the problem either. He said they are keeping the windows cracked and this is only a problem when they run the AC on max and not when they use the heater. Chris asked if they tested the other vehicles and the Chief said they did and there isn’t a problem with any of them. Eugene LaBombard mentioned a speeding vehicle on Route 207 and also stated he saw 4 wheelers on Grand Avenue today. Chief Stell stated that 4 wheelers have been an issue lately and a couple of them have been towed a couple of times this summer. He said Officers Parah, Hooper and Underwood identified who these people are and have been dealing with them. Reg Beliveau reminded people to report an incident when they see it especially when it’s vandalism. Adam Paxman mentioned the traffic at the end of the bridge and Route 78 West between 4 and 5 p.m. He asked if they could have a traffic cop there to help with the congestion. Chief stated he thought that would make it worse and he is trying to figure out why it gets so backed up there. Eugene stated he thinks drivers are not taking turns. Chief Stell stated he would talk with the Agency of Transportation and see if they have any suggestions. Adam also mentioned he would be talking with the Town regarding a traffic light by the Interstate and First Street. Chris Leach asked about the drug problem in the area and asked if they were finding syringes. Chief Stell stated yes they were but not as many as last year. He also said the heroin problem isn’t as bad as it was last year. He said with the NOTCH office expanding they’ve added more opioid addiction staff and have helped some in the community get into treatment. He said the problem is still here but they’ve added more resources and it’s helping some. Adam Paxman asked if the Chief could give them an update on Missisquoi Valley Rescue. Chief Stell said they are doing a wonderful job over there. He said they revamped their scheduling and have ordered a new ambulance. He said the old one is 10-12 years old and is breaking down too often and he said they paid off a line of credit. He said they just sent out an annual subscription drive and by doing so this will lower what they ask the Town for in taxes. He said whatever is covered by someone’s insurance company is what they’ll take for payment, if they purchase this subscription they won’t be charged anything from the ambulance service. Adam Paxman stated he wanted to do a ride along in the very near future. The Board thanked Chief Stell for coming in and giving them an update.

 

7.      Any Other Necessary Business:

 

Chris Leach stated he would like to get a sign on Gallup Court stating “Children at Play.” He said the traffic is going too fast for that street and he’s afraid someone is going to get hit. Discussion took place as to whether or not the Village could put up one of those signs and Dianne Day, Village  Clerk, is going to contact VLCT to see what they recommend.

 

Any Other Business: Adam Paxman stated he received his Town tax bill and said 90% of it is for the education tax. He commended the Village for having a 2.44% increase and said he appreciates that.

 

Any Other Business: Adam Paxman stated there would be a Swanton Arts Spectacular event in the Park on September 9, Halloween in the Park will be held on October 28^th and Christmas in the Park will be held on November 25^th. The Board also mentioned the Village would be holding their regular Board of Trustees meeting as well as a Public Informational Meeting on 9/11 at 7 p.m. here at the Village Complex. The public informational meeting will be held to explain the bond vote on the rubber bag at the Highgate Hydro Facility. They encouraged everyone to attend this meeting.

 

Reg Beliveau stated he would need an Executive Session to discuss personnel and Neal Speer stated he needed one for Real Estate.

He said they received some good comments and also need to work on keeping the park handicap accessible each year. Adam also wanted to remind people about the Arts Spectacular show on September 9^th. Adam also mentioned the Ford Police Cruiser being taken out of service due to the carbon monoxide leaks. Reg stated the cruiser is back in service but they need to keep the windows down when driving it. Eugene LaBombard stated he did some research on this topic and this is only happening in police vehicles. He said it may have to do with the all the adaptations made to the vehicles after the sale.
