2:55 the evening here

3:02 so let’s get to our next items move right along. It’s on Solid Waste feed discussion. All right, so I’ll be usually take a look. It’s always figures every year. We always want to make sure that we stand today with these and as there are across the street state if our fees are less than other facilities you get a lot more people coming to our facility, but we want to make sure that we’re paying attention to Be structure is so disposable wind speeds and then all the fees that go along with it tonight. We’re really just taking a look at two different fees the mattress fee and the solid waste. So solid rate disposal that’s really for commercial or any other residential ways

3:49 that’s above and Bach Beyond like normal household waste that’s construction material that’s less than five cubic yards. So obviously mattresses the town has been recycling mattresses students 2018 on November 1st of 2022. They became part of the solvent so they can no longer be thrown away. They have to be recycled. We use a company called UTech as costs are increasing. We’re seeing that cost increase when we’re paying the bill everything’s done on unit price and then we have a trucking fee. So what we are suggesting that mattresses should go up to 25 dollars per unit. So that would be whatever tell us the mattress and 25 dollars with a box reading itself. Um,

4:37 they’re very strict with this regulation at this point. We had a box spring that got into a trash truck the other day. I got all the way to Resco and it came all the way back to us. So they pulled it out the pile and they put it back in the truck and they came back to us as a warning to make sure that we’re doing a little inspections like we’re supposed to but they’re very strict with this regulation. So like I said, the first one is mattresses, we look across the state, you know, we look at Wellesley all the facilities on the North Shore they range anywhere from 25 up to 60 dollars per unit. So we try to kind of stay in the middle there, but we feel $35 per unit is a reasonable at this point. So it used to be 25 dollars, but both pieces together, correct? So you not only jumping up Beyond $25

5:26 a piece you go into three bedrooms, correct? Yep. We are currently paying $18 per unit plus $300 in tracking these so comes out to be about 25 dollars per mattress that you’re paying for Justice Louisville. That’s no Manpower Association.

5:46 Yeah, can I ask why you guys got in front of this back in 2018? Was it something that how did you know that this was awesome? We received the grant for nasty people. So they wanted to take a look at communities that wanted to start early on and see if we were willing to participate we participated in the program and this allowed the state that they look how well it does and that made them go to this always been 21. I think I’m always in favor of raising things because we’ve always been behind so I’m kind of pleased with what we’re doing this but I would have thought you would have gone to 25 when each but I understand now without if you’ve got waiver involved. Yeah, the biggest thing is looking at the other facilities. If I’m the cheapest facility

6:31 in the area, everybody’s gonna continue with the mattresses, we won’t be able to handle them and so we won’t be able to take mattresses that regular basis. So we only have two shipping containers the 220 yard art 20% containers and so I can only put so many mattress and in there. There’s a pretty popular item right now. But you want a motion. That’s what I want, you know. We’ll do that. Right? So yeah an emotion or mattress being goes up to 25 jobs which 30 right? I apologize 35 does each piece the box spring 35 for the mattress. second

7:11 And just so everybody’s clearing with this. I’ll go over some of the can I get a vote. Yep. So miscellane Hayley David Thomas doing the learning paper and Dr. Tuggle. Thank you. I apologize for that thing. That’s right. So mattresses do not include any mattress pad mattress topper sleeping bag pillow car bed Carriage basket Dressing Table stroller playpen infant carrier Lounge pad could bumper liquid or gaseous Billy including any water beds and air mattresses that do not contain unpolstery material between the ticking and the mattress core and mattresses and futons and silver meds. So that’s the regulations people those and just doing the regular they can go right? Yeah, so they can’t do

7:57 in your household trash that would be considered away. I solved waste. So this is non-residential solid weight. So this is everything above and beyond your regular household trash. So this include cleanouts this include construction demolition material. And again, we look at facilities across the state. We’re trying to stay equal with them. We tend to be on the left lower side. We are currently 210. Her tongue and we would be suggesting or recommending that you go up to 280. We know this is quite a jump. But again, we’re trying to stay equal with a lot of the other facilities even Mellows up in Georgetown is 300 dollars a ton currently, so we’ll still be below them for

8:43 non-residents. So anybody that doesn’t come tomorrow that doesn’t live in Marblehead coming from outside. It’s a $20 minimum if you’re a Marblehead resident, it’s per pound. So we are recommending to 280 dollars per ton. You want motion for that? Yep. I move that we increase the pH of 280 dollars per 10% waste and a second. Honestly. Let’s join Milton paper and Dr. Title and beer and so these will all go in January 1st. And so before we go up that Could ask you to look at the beach and student this year? Yeah, we can take a look at that. I mean that’s something that

9:28 we were no, I plan to stay away from it’s been the current price for the last couple years. But if the board would like us to take a look at that we can definitely do that obviously stickers won’t start to come out be sold next Monday and from January 1st to December 30. And yeah, so Is it to link to that? I would say it’s too late for that. Yes, but that’s something that we can take a look at for next year. All right, because I think I thought that’s the one I’ve always thought. We were rolling in the year. I mean we went up a couple years ago again, we could take a look at all the other facilities, you know. Yeah, we tend to be a little on the low side, but I think it’s still, you know, pretty comparable. I don’t think you went up like you’re benefiting these incidents. No this with the commercial Solid

10:15 Waste. I’m trying to stay the same level as all the other commercials commercial establishments. We see a lot of commercial material coming in from not just marvel ahead but surrounding communities. So it’s only fair that we’re making sure that we’re covering our costs but we’re not the cheapest place around where everybody wants to come to us rather than doing to another person. Well, maybe because it’s this is for our citizens thing you transfer station in each sticker. I think it’s nice treatment and a nice place. Yeah, so I mean Feature when we do have a new facility we do we will need to continue to look at fees. So a lot of facilities charge for AC units auto batteries lawn mowers right on lawnmower snowboarders white

11:00 goods propane tanks Furniture TVs monitors microwaves, and the other thing that we will take me to take a look at is allowing Marblehead businesses to use our recycling facility in the future when we build our new facility will be dividing commercial and residential and therefore commercial businesses from Marvel head. We will have a hard time tracking those businesses in our residential area easiest way to do that is really through a sticker program that we would allow stickers to be purchase for businesses and Marvel head that can recycle the material facility for the but I obviously you try to make it so they’re not weighing in pain and all that stuff. But thank you recycle all that, but we’re going to wait till we get the facility. Yeah, we’re gonna wait to the facility and obviously so

11:48 like everything else the recycling Market is changing all the material if we didn’t have J around with the deal that we have currently but we don’t pay for any of that material curbside the material that we bring from our facility to JRM. Currently. We’re paying 95 dollars at fun for a second. So, you know, it’s not really anymore. I just want to make sure everybody’s aware of that. So yeah, we will take a look at a lot of different these structures when we take a look at the facility and all that stuff. When did that contract end with jerem. We have four more years on that. Yeah. So yeah, there will be a significant increase. in that contract for collection and then also for the disposal

12:35 of the recyclables. While we’re on the topic, I think it’s worth just reminding me more of the textile ban where the transportation they’ve been bringing this text out. Yeah, so we have several like approximately tendons in the back four textiles and it goes everywhere from planet Aid Red Cross. There’s a whole bunch of groups that are allowed to bring their containers and they go through all that material recycle that material but we also collect five cents a pound for all that those kids and then yeah. Obviously, we also have magic hat in town. We really want to push Magic Hat. It’s a great resource in town. A lot of money that they make this act of the school system. They have collection bins around the community as well. So, you know, we really recommend people bring there we’re slightly

13:21 used clues of these clothes that happen as well. But there’s also a complexion container down by Staples. There’s no Goodwill, I stop and shop and then there’s also a few at some of the churches. So there they are scattered around you don’t have to have a restaurant residential sticker to get to do that outside of the facility that you have to have a residential sticker to go into the facility for us. And that includes none wearable oracles that includes non wearable alcohol. So like if I wear this shirt all the way out where it’s you know holes are in the elbows and stuff like that. It still can be recycled into the rags. There is a large rag market and in the state of Massachusetts municipalities or encouraged to buy Rags for our garages, so

14:09 we currently do that. We try to get other organizations to do this thing. Since you touched on the transportation in each sticker, would you just told the audience with? You’re doing studying next week. Yeah, so we will begin, you know, someone stickers Monday.

14:30 December what’s the date of that? That’s right the night the 19 we will sell them both at the transfer station themselves, and I said also at the tax collection office. I’m not no, we don’t still matter practice. We have not we only do that for special occasions. But yeah tax collection office facility.

14:54 think that that’s really able to solve my speed at this time. Unless there’s any other questions, okay. All right. Let’s talk about carbon funds. We had our meeting with members of the Counseling Center at our two meetings ago and they had a request for 145,000. I can read out what their requesting. but I think that’s where we should start with this discussion said we would vote tonight about at allocate this so they had requested the Counseling Center had requested $50,000 for the Observer Network infrastructure new workstations new cloud-based software. and they have written which criteria for the Arc of allocation applies

15:39 involve around here. They were requested roughly 15,000 for interior buildout 5,000 per opening new offices 35,000 for exterior repairs and painting of remaining two sides in the building. And they had also requested about 45,000 for hiring and retaining mental health professionals leading to meeting one-time hiring and staff retention bonuses, which is the need. So that’s to help with that issue. So that comes to 145,000. We have an allocation of two hundred thousand dollars from our planet specifically to allocate our mental health issues. And I think this is clearly within that criteria. Is there any further discussion? Yeah. Do you want to make a motion and

16:25 the discussion that you want to have the discussion first with other schedulers? Okay. I I it’s no way that’s I think knows that and more of a friend of the house and Sons and everybody else in the community and I am very good friend of the cast of that kind of vast president. So thank you very much for it. And I’m glad that we had some time to meet here and then I had some time to think about it. I did ask some questions to you and I’m satisfied after me reading the contract and the least that that constantly said it is. responsible for the outside of the building and that was what was troubling me because I wanted as much of the allocation that we’re giving them to go with mental health treatment or

17:13 care about putting up numbers and where we are responsible where they are responsible. I think that is what was kind of a sticky one for me and I see that they are responsible for it. So, but the only one question I have When you enter that maybe I asked it, but I maybe I see somebody is in the audience that they need to answer too. It says that for replacing the roof that the town would decide within a 10 year repeater 10 year period now when we talk about replacing a repair in the mood So with these these buns it’s for impairs

17:59 and painting this. This is not for the roof itself. Um, I think when they talk about the 10 years when we look at Rooms, we said it to the last 10 years. So the town would look at the roof and say Yes, it needs to be replaced or not that that’s not part of the art of discussion. But that’s part of the contract. It’s kind of the contract because that do we know whether they’re going to repair or replace those I don’t believe it’s for the repair of the roof at all, right? No, it is a reason it is not. Oh, okay, see because I watched when I was like with me, I guess then I’ve got too much information. It’s what the problem is. so and obviously the health, you know, the Board of Health has on what along relationship with the privilege Counseling

18:44 Center. I’m wrong. I think it began back in 1982. Oh 53 years 53 years. It was right from the beginning. There’s a 1980. So yes now before that it was it’s seven 19 seven. So yeah, it’s been a great relationship. Like we talked we last met with them, you know, obviously want to move forward with the arbor request and then in January when we start to have budget discussions, we will be meeting with them again. We currently you know, allocate 60,000 a year towards accounting Center and the board will be looking to increase that amount because we’ve got them back to 120. Correct. So quite a few years. Yeah and that this

19:31 In this market 60,000 as much less than it was quite a few years ago, right? Okay, so Yeah. Everybody make emotionally you I just I know that these requests came in several months ago and I’m imagining that the Counseling Center has continued to find other areas of concern. So I would like to recommend we continue the conversation with them. These are for dollars are spearheaded for mental health treatment and care. I think it’s valuable to continue having this conversation with you organization and make sure we lean in listen and find out given I don’t know when the first requests went

20:17 in when the Ark of dollars. We’re starting to become available. Would you agree it makes sense to continue to have a conversation and understand the need may have grown more great more when we’re dire because in January and I hope that we can set us by budget and that might be different things, but maybe this Doesn’t have anything to do with accounting Center, but it has something to do with other has any other requests come in for the other 50,000 dollars. It is not so obviously we were hoping that the Marblehead mental health task force may have a need and we’ll put in a requests as well. Obviously that we can maybe get some speaker series maybe some promotional or any kind of educational material. They haven’t finished

21:04 those discussions at this point. Yeah, and how long do we have to That undetermined amount of time. But obviously we want to try to get this money out in the community as quickly as possible. If you know depending on how large the need is obviously there’s a need with the Marblehead. Accounting Center, so we want to do that. As possible, but we can’t put this in our budget you cannot just we’re not required to spend the ultimate. We’re to allocated ultimate and there’s no timeline. There’s no time and that’s interesting that no other group is requested that good for the Counseling Center. Want to make your motion? Yes, and we give that we allocate 145,000 of the Opera 200,000 fund to The Marvelous many Counseling Center and the old

21:51 term out of the counseling center and

21:55 and my motion and second that motion honestly needle in favor. Let’s join Miller in favor, Dr. Title is better, right? So then how how soon could be available to them? I think it’s available pretty quickly. I think I would just need a an invoice from the counseling center. You know, I think just on the lines of the request you guys have here I will get that paid as soon as possible. Like and we can talk offline about I’m at Michael pellets here. Yes, perfect. I think just say something I would check here. I’d like to put some of the Town specials money. We’re with their mouth is well, my mouth is I have some leftover funds from my campaign and I’m going to donate it to the constants and

22:42 So if you could raise up, right?

22:47 It’s time passes wrong. Yeah.

22:51 It’s very generous. Thank you. And you have conflicts that are in the kids were in front of serve but it’s been a great relationship Ron. So we look forward to continue to work with you guys and looking forward to meeting with you again in January. I have put it infections. Yep. Thank you neighbors and it was yeah. I had one please and so with respect to requests and I think the Marblehead mental health task force has some ideas of some budget that we’re putting together and I just heard from the Council on Aging they’re interested in doing a survey study that has been done in some of our neighboring communities looking at Aging in place and

23:38 they’re interested in seeing that may fit and they’re trying to get funding to do the survey. They’re interested in determining how this survey could benefit the mental health of some of our residents that are trying to stay in their homes going forward and we can all imagine. Was a difficult trial it can be for one’s mental health when they’re at that place where they’re not sure if they’re going to be able to continue living in their homes. So prior in 2019 the Council on Aging had partnered with UMass Boston and they were proceeding to do this survey, but it kind of that table as so many things did during covid. So they’re interested in having a conversation also about gaining some of that funding for that need which they were presenting as

24:25 as having an impact on mental health for our community as well. So according to hearing that’s in development, right?

24:39 Okay, let’s move to your report, please sorry, so transfer station up in the drawing. So last meeting we met with Dina a Winter Street Architects, and he had a drawing for us for the scale house. And so we’ve had some discussion around that and so I want to pass out these drawings that we took a little at last time. Yeah. These are the same as before now.

25:08 I know it started and I have it in here too. But and so these are so data continues to work on this stuff all the time. And so he has some small revisions that we would like to put those and then that happens here. So one of the biggest things that we talked about is with the scale house and the position and making sure that it’s 88 compliant. And so we’re required a parking spot and that kind of pushed their building down. Let’s say south We were trying to put it as North as possible. Um it also made for two doors on the building and obviously, you know with our budget concerns and everything the doors got some additional money and he’s always trying to make the design as best as possible. So he has gone back

25:55 and was able to move that 88 parking spot I’m going to say south of the building. And only so that reducing the number of instances down to one. So in your packet I gave to you you’ll see the second. Yeah, you’ll see on the second page. And fun, you guys want to take a look at this? You don’t have them. I don’t know.

26:27 So if you want to take you know, the second page now you only have one. in handicap parking space allowing the entrance to be on the south side. And if you go put the page to the next one, that will be the scale house. And that allows for you still have that airlock. That’s there. Yeah the lockers now on a street row so it’s kind of

26:55 Making a little bit more storage. It flows a little bit better. You’re removing that door which will also decrease the amount of movement of the air. I don’t see the doors will be political the time you’re eliminating one door, which technically should be reducing costs over as well. What was the purpose to do is to begin them? So you have to have your had that 88 parking spot to the north. We’re still house and so we’re now going to move it to the cell and just have one entrance for the employees and you know and with the Ada parking spot.

27:30 He also was added a entrance group over that. that doorway You know Julian I’m talking about that. So that’s now integrated into the design. Um and the biggest piece now that you know, we’ll have a lot of discussion about and honestly go back to the facility committee is silent. He’s also done a lot of renderings in this. So all of this stuff will go up online. So, you know, he’s given some different views. This is all computer generated photos. You have that the pit structure. With its potential signing all the solar

28:17 panels. There’s also we’ve talked a little bit about some Wing terrains and rather than turbines these poles that could potentially use and that’s something that will also bring back to the transfer station facility committee, but you’ll see that that bit structure where this those six poles on the building. Those are actually winterlands. How do they how do they actually move and so the vibration creates energy? So there’s no spinning turbines. These are just poles that kind of vibrate and losing that generates energy. Yeah.

28:58 Um, if you continue on you’ll see different, you know. Photos or your renderings of people driving around on the scale house the drop-off area if you’re pulling up in a vehicle looking into the sale. So well, I just want to make sure that you guys saw all of these there’s a photos of this the swap shop. The solar panels on the roofs the base design of that facility and outdoor photos of that. And everybody on this Workshop what you’re talking about making it? No that is always been part of the design because would be the swap shop. The idea is that you open those doors you bring a lot of materials outside and it’s a little you know, because everything

29:44 get kind of gets packed in there right bringing outside allows for more space. So let’s talk piece that we’re yeah that topics is all part of that design. That’s always in there. It’s a design element.

30:02 And then the last page is the attendance to these are just more rendering that is put together that material on YouTube. So again, that’s a type of siding. But again that we’ll have lots of discussion about the siding and you know, probably sample than all that stuff. So the one thing, you know, they’re holding them. where that little area is next to the pit that we’ve talked about previously. We have to move the nope. So that blue, you know could be a essentially a dumpster, you know, 30 guys container and that we can place there but there’s bollards are all movable so I can get to that container with Roll Off Track that can be stuff for like boom shrink

30:49 wrap that we can have it on the side there. That doesn’t go in the pit still need Speedway and then tossing this container. I think we might have so many you wanted to put that someplace else and I have we did discuss it with that, you know, because those bollards are movable I can get the roll off right there and we can leave that obviously. So we all have that on the flex area and if there’s other items that need to be recycled there’s TV, they’re coming from commercial on those can be placed in those areas as well as just wondering I guess earlier now why we have to you know, those areas of biology and

31:26 and we have that dumpster area there why it wouldn’t be someplace else with so we have some commercial shrink wrap that comes in from the marinas and that’s where the material would go. Just in the spring when people are Yeah, we actually get a year round we get in the springtime and we also get in the ball when they’re vitalizing boats residents don’t have to pay for the spring Grant but when it’s coming from a business, it’s something that we must where is that area now that area now is over here.

31:58 It’s to the right when you’re driving to where the contractor started at home. Yeah, Andrew, where’s the mattress spot? Where do they leave the mattress? So mattresses are out back. Yeah soon the recycling area. So they’re just next to the textiles. Okay. Yeah to look 2 20 foot shipping and there’s okay. And so we fill those up on the companies are very particular that we make sure we maximize the space in there. We call them when they’re full and they can change other containers when we first started the program. We just had one 20 foot container how we’ve been doing something mattresses, they ask for us that to containers and that allows a little bit more time. That means they’re not always coming to our facility to pull that container. They like to only about once

32:45 So you fill two of those 20 foot things once a week again? Yes. Yeah, I can build two of them. Yeah. Yes. There’s going to be matches. I’m trying to figure how many matches we do alone. But yeah, it tends to be about 40 units in a container. Okay? Yeah every yeah. Yeah, we do approximately almost 240 yard containers of scrap metal week as well. 40 years means eight pieces. No, so units one piece. Yeah. You sometimes put one two in the container with mattress? Yeah.

33:22 And so I will take all these renderings and we will post this all on Google website. You take them back. No, so I don’t need I just need to show them a problem tonight all these photos and all these renderings will be posted on the website. Because anything been posted on here? No, because I wanted to go over so we had shared all of these original drawings, but we will be posting all the renderings and stuff like that and I wanted to take some time to make sure you got the renderings, right? We had a slight change with that parking space and using the number of doors. And so now that we have I had this from being on Winter Street, I will post these online. Thanks one question with respect to the staff building. I remember I’m sorry

34:11 the scale. Yeah. Um, I remember Dana talking about having the bathrooms close to each other which would really be cost-effective. Yeah, but it’s not turns out. That that not only much more. Square feet in the building. Okay, and as Dana said a little bit of PVC pipe a lot cheaper than square feet though. Yeah, so that’s that’s the reason for that. Thank you. Any other questions about the grinds to work in products, that’s it. I cameras security. So we do have a contract a Signet to install security cameras up at the transfer station and they will be doing that installation beginning. They actually began on Friday and this through

34:59 this whole week and so, you know, obviously I’ve presented this these costs to the war before but those cameras aren’t going to be installed currently. Well, they need disrupted when the works with him. So no, they’re pretty able to work around us. So they’re really shouldn’t be any disruption. There might be a little disruption around the bit, but we’ll try to do that lunchtime and offer us. We try not to disturb people to understand but besides that they should be able to work, you know, and we should be able to accommodate them without shutting down at all.

35:32 This is the last last week of lease leaf collection for 2022. So if you still have leaves make sure they get them out, but we will have the collection of the springtime. There’s a week of collection in April. There’s a week question in May and there’s a week deduction machine, but this is the last following collection. I really appreciate that service and I was wondering in terms of cost. It’s something the community probably values a great deal. Is it what does that did you get a contract with them to? Yeah, we have a contract really good contract. Yeah, right. It’s 1500 dollars to pick up everybody, please. Yeah in the spring and fall. Yeah, they are really.

36:18 They don’t like that contract at all. Which is that for four more years too it is so, you know, I’m sure they’re gonna try to add some gas escalation through a book that really not allowed to it is you know, so we just have to remember when we knew all these contracts when they put numbers to this in the beginning maybe you know. We have what in this spring important? I know we have four in the fall and three in the spring. We’re total of seven weeks. Well done. Thank you. I’m covid RSV and flu obviously covid RV blue numbers are continuing to go up. Um, now we’re this isn’t surprising to us. There’s a lot of gathering during the holidays and so we are seeing some increase in

37:06 hospital rates. It is about a 30% 30% 30% across the board covid blue and RSV. Um, the best way for us to really look at these numbers, obviously, we are seeing some additional PCR tests in the state of Massachusetts, but we’re really relying on a lot of Wastewater numbers these days again, we’re not seeing these increases as much in the Northeast as across the state but we will continue to see increasing numbers for these three items. We want to remind everybody to get there booster shots get their flu shots and to stay home with their sick. But yeah, these are, you know, pretty prevalent obviously. Blue has been pretty active the last couple of weeks. Our RSV

37:52 is very active as well in this area. You still have kids here for testing for oh, yes, so I still have tested that. We have been passing out to restaurants any Resident that wants them the current test kits that we have are set to expire at the end of January. We’ve asked the state if they think that those expiration dates are gonna be pushed back a little bit more. Nobody’s giving us an answer on that. We’ve also asked those tests expire do you think you know, we’ve asked to see if they’re gonna be pushing out anymore again, we haven’t had any answers to that. At this point we are really relying on these tests. So we are really hoping that we’ll see what that comes down. But yeah, we probably have another probably another

38:38 eight cases to push out. I mean in case I forget how many are in a case I want to say it’s 60 so yeah, we’ll put a lot out to a lot of the churches during the holiday Services try to push them out to all the restaurants and try to push it out for the food pantry.

39:26 covider booster or flu shot. If you are having a hard time, please call the office. I’m obviously we have a coalition on the North Shore where we’re working with many other health departments. So we know when they’re having other clinics or other booster clinics, so we always share that information with each other and so yes, we are able to push residents other communities to get this really your best place to get the booster is still currently like CVS Walgreens and stuff like that.

They change their numbers all the time and you can take a look at those numbers and come up with so come up with still doing the Commonwealth is still don’t understand. Yeah.

40:42 Yeah, obviously the best place to get all that stuff is mass.gov. There’s a lot of information they have where to get boosters. They have the Wastewater numbers. They have other communities. That’s really the best the best places to get it. And the last thing is that today marks my 11 year university with the town. So, you know, it’s been great working for this community.
