GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

President Kinch announced that he would move the discussion on Rawson Pond, R-24-22 up to be heard first.

OLD BUSINESS

 

RESOLUTIONS

1.  R-24-22A resolution authorizing and empowering Mayor Jeffrey J. Mutter to engage the services of J.H. Lynch & Sons Inc. for the construction of an emergency temporary spillway at the Rawson Pond Dam in an amount not to exceed two hundred and eighty-nine thousand five hundred and forty-three dollars ($289,543) (tabled from February 21, 2024) Video

 

DPW Director Joe Duarte referenced the concern voiced in the previous meeting about what DEM’s requirements would be if the water was re-impounded: that if things fell apart and we couldn’t continue, could we remove the dam, would there be significant wetland requirements?

 

Mr. Duarte had met with DEM; they outlined the requirements to go forward with this temporary dam. As long as we are not expanding the water height and flow, there could be an expedited wetlands permit issued through Dam Safety Regulations. The temporary dam must be built in 2024 and has to be removed in two years after the initial permit approval if there is no further action by the town. In those two years the town could get extended time if we go forward with an application for permanent dam reconstruction. The Army Corps of Engineers will have involvement with this project under the new regulations for the Dam Safety Program.

It is preferable to have this temporary dam upstream so that at a future date, if we do go forward with a permanent dam, this temporary dam would act as a cofferdam to trap the water and allow the new construction to occur in the resulting dry area.

 

Alan Orsi from Pare Engineering was available to answer questions as necessary.

 

Councilor Schmitt asked if the two-year limit on the dam was after construction or from the time of the permit issuance?

 

Mayor Mutter stated the clock would start ticking after the construction.

 

Mr. Duarte reported that including the time for the permitting process, construction could occur the end of May through June.

President Kinch opened up the floor to members of the public.

 

1.      Jeanne O’Connor-Jackson, 67 Newell Drive, thanked the Council for their consideration in this matter, and presented the Council with a petition of 400 signatures in support of reconstruction.

 

2.      Nick Dinardo, 59 Newell Drive, spoke in support. He commented that right now this is an issue in District 4, but in the future there will be needs in neighboring districts that will need brothers and sisters in other districts to make decisions about the greater good; we should all think of how we thrive together rather than what’s best for just us.

3.      Jennifer King, 47 Newell Drive, thanked the Council for their support of the engineering design resolution at the last meeting and spoke in favor of the dam repair. Restoring the water is the right thing to do.

4.      Chris Cipolla, 61 Tingley Drive, grew up in the area  and also spoke in support of replacing the dam.

 

President Kinch sked Mr. Duarte if he could answer any questions that were sent in a letter to the Council by resident Randy Tuomisto, 411 Reservoir Road.


Mr. Duarte responded to the questions relating to the agreement with Pare Engineering.

 

The solicitor commented that other aspects of Mr. Tuomisto’s letter had been addressed in executive session.

 

Councilor Beaulieu asked the Mayor about public access to Rawson Pond. The Mayor responded that after investigation the best option to give pond access without disturbing the residents around the pond would be through Franklin Farms, by foot traffic.

 

Councilor Schmitt stated simply, “In 2017 we bought a pond with a dam. We failed to maintain the dam and the dam failed. I think we have an obligation to make it right, and I move for passage of this resolution”.

 

Councilor Beaulieu spoke in support of repairing the dam, stating that the local governments can make a tremendous difference in a town, and referenced the dramatic improvements to the school system that have be made through such governing as an example.

 

Councilor Bradley discussed the funding source with Mayor Mutter.

 

MOTION BY COUNCILOR SCHMITT, SECONDED BY COUNCILOR SHAW, AND IT IS UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO APPROVE.  VOTE 4/2.

Nay: Councilors Bradley and Magill
Recused: Councilor Metivier

 

The Council took a brief recess at 8:16 and were back in session at 8:29pm
