 Okay, take in the reconvene the flight board from our site visit. With us tonight is Flo Smith, Tour Nelson, myself Brad Town. Also with us is Tim Davis, our road foreman. In addition, there changes the agenda tour. No. Public comment hearing done. I'd like to also welcome our representative, our legislator. Let's see here. Flood updates. Well, you saw the holes on Pink Turnpash North caused by the flooding there at the culverts. Tim, do you want to just update on the roads? We're getting there. We've got everything roughed in. We're still having to clean a lot of ditches and stuff that were either washed in with gravel or to get the water back where it's supposed to be for wintertime. I'm hoping our graders are going to be disabled right now for this week. We're on Pirates. So I'm hoping that by the end of this week that will be fixed and whatnot and then put somebody in it for liberation from here on out. I'm hoping that we'll be able to at least get some of the stuff that's not flood damage graded and then we'll move on to cover and everything with gravel and starting to re-gravel the roads that were washed out that are all dense grade now and then fire on some trucks to help haul. Unfortunately, in the middle of September, we're going to go from a four-man crew to a three-man crew and have a guy going out for surgery. So he's going to be out for, I believe, six to eight weeks right now. My biggest ask is for people out of patience with us and I mean, we're working 10, 11, 12 hours a day trying to get things put together. We're having a bounce around a little bit right now which is cutting into some time and trying to get some of the other concerns that people have taken care of. There's little washes by people's driveways and so it makes everything a little bit safer. So we're working on it. Thank you. What's your time frame? What time do you have fire in the fall? Do you expect to be still doing repair work? I'm just thinking of winter coming up. I'm hoping by the end of September we're going to be in real good shape. But optimistic. As long as I can get some trucks and we can haul speed. That's going to be our biggest downfall is just hauling material. Once we get going to cover all the roads again. We lost all these roads that were washed out and lost all our gravel. We lightly covered Mirror Lake Road the other day because it was getting to the point where it was a little rough to be driving on and then there's nothing we can do as far as smoothing that stuff up because it's three inch dense grade so it's all three inch stone. And it took us all days to do Mirror Lake Road and just a little bit to start with and then after the bridge up to the intersection and it's only a couple inches thick. Just enough to level everything out. You really should put a good six, eight inches of that stuff down and then cover it. I'm shooting for at least six inches of the inch and a half and then put a couple inches of more over the top of everything so we got some material to grade with. Any other questions for Tim? Rick to the council, any update on the mobile home removal process? Program the state was looking at. Just trying to get everything organized as fast as we can and get the parts in place. It's a process and we're working on it. We're trying to take care of people and it's not fast enough and people want to get on with their lives. But hopefully some good news will be coming. I don't want to sit here and say anything like, you know, it was two weeks ago, three weeks ago here and have things not go as planned. The pieces have all got to come together and people have got to work together to make things happen. That's all I got for right now unless you guys get something for me. Joe talked to me about, he was approached by a group down in Maryland or something. They're a volunteer organization. They would come up and dismantle mobile homes. But he didn't know that they would just dismantle them and leave them, dismantle them and take care of them. It was kind of vague but at least it was a volunteer group that was doing the work. So I think I just spoke to Joe about it on the phone and he'll have to fill us in on what he knows on the next meeting. But I asked him if any other mobile homes parks got hit. I believe Johnson, up in Johnson it was hit pretty hard. Maybe Ludlow too? It would make sense if they're coming up here, if they're bringing any kind of equipment with them, to have them be able to go around to all of them and see about it. I know the governor and the administration is working on stuff that, you know, the governor and with Irene and I think it started down in Weston, what was Weston's at the time and stuff and implemented a plan and I think he's trying, I don't want to speak for him, but I think that's trying to utilize that plan and try to recycle, get as much money as it can for that and just try to have these residents be able to move on with their lives and get as much as they can. I know there's a lot of rumblings out there about people just want to give up their homes with the park rent and all that stuff. I'm not a little lawyer, but I would hope there's a better option than that. They have to figure out what they want to do with that. I know it's a hope that we say we'll somehow figure out a plan that we would do or whatever we can to help mitigate that process. The dollars in the sense and of course everything that's going into the landfill or I assume it's going into the landfill, let's just say as much recycling as possible with them. Hopefully a lot of them can be maybe sold or something and rebuilt. I don't. It's still coming together and unfortunately it's very, very slow and it's just in people's attitudes and I don't blame them. Any else on the flood updates? There was a clip in the front page forum about items that are at the end of Muzzy Road and Joe actually saw it and forwarded it to me and said that it was a good discussion for tonight around this, basically just people that have things they need to discard, recycle, et cetera and wondering if the town of Berlin or the state is going to assist them with picking it up. We do have a request into the state for some of the same contractors that used for Montpelier and Barry to come by. I don't have the status of that. I had a Mr. Conference call on that today but I'll follow up with the state. On the same point, Stephen Young, Department of Mineral Conservation came out to Cedar Drive last week and he personally removed a lot of the items from the refrigerators and freezers. Just not a pretty task. But he took that on himself to do so. Very appreciative of him for that. That was very kind. Thank you. Any else? Is it me? Pain Termite North road closure discussion? Well, I think we all saw the damage that was done there. The state has viewed the situation along with the Federal Highway Administration engineers from both organizations and they've basically given us either option, we can make temporary repairs on the road and get it back open or do the permanent repairs all at once. I'm going to defer to Tim for his recommendation on that. So like we spoke earlier, the recommendation is to leave it closed for now. The temporary repair is going to be better than half of an extent of what the permanent fix is going to be. We're going to have to remove hundreds of feet of asphalt, lower the grade back down to the culvert, check for voids underneath places and then we're going to have to rebuild the road all the way back up and then do that. That's going to be very expensive just for temporary fix. Like I also said, I have a feeling that we'd probably stick a little higher on the radar with it being closed versus being open, potentially being shuffled off for something major than other people's eyes maybe. So I don't know how you guys feel after looking at it. I think our best options are going to be financially is just to let it sit for now. We'll do the work to protect the infrastructure that's through the road right there in the sewer and put some dirt all the top of it to prevent freezing for this winter and help that problem. I mean from the holes that were there under the roadbed, obviously water is getting into there somewhere and washing out the base. The base is nothing but sand and of course that doesn't hold water to save its soul. My only concern if we were to just do a temporary fix to it that the cause of that sand getting washed away won't be noticed and it'll just happen again. It'll be probably worse next time around but I would take and recommend we just go for the repair, not the repair but the fix of it so that we don't have to go through this in another year or two. And I concur, I think seeing it tonight you can really see that it's worse than perhaps we envisioned until we were there tonight and we don't know all the damages. There's more than likely way more damage than what we can see with our eyes tonight. So I do agree with your recommendation. I will make that as a motion. I know second that. Any further discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Motion carries? Anything else? I see you didn't put down the round table. No. Anything else? I'd just like to say that in July wastewater pumped 7.4 million gallon to water. Usually it's around 3 or 4 million gallons so it was almost doubled because of the flooding. It's been held up. Incredible. You said that have we got a hold of anybody for Richardson Road as far as like the engineering process? You know we've had some playing. Just wanted to final design. Yeah because Dave Wilcox contacted me today just to kind of see where we were at. Unlike what kind of timeline we were looking into for uses of the temporary bridge and I hadn't heard much. I haven't been in here much. I was just wondering and he was inquiring so just to kind of get him an answer. If we were looking at a year or two or less than that or we're going into the wrong end of the construction season. I think we're much further ahead on Richardson Road as far as the engineering goes. But like you said the construction's all been bit out for the summer so even if they can get us. If the engineering is done in another couple of months or the design engineering is done. Just need to send it off to this I think the state to have them approve it. But I'm sure it's going to be. Probably going to be next summer about a time. Well we should. I mean if we push it we might be able to take and get it out to bed for this next year's construction season. Right. If we could get something maybe going for this fall and then get it in front of a couple of people and put some numbers together and get on somebody's schedule. I mean that's a good spring project because it's right on the black top easy to get to. The other. Well from my point of view is that if you can take and get the engineering done you've got to get a hold of the concrete people that made the castings. Have them get those made. I mean they did a great job on Fisher Road because they had to track the trail a bit. The actual construction of the tube didn't take long. No. It's all the prep work. Anything else? All I have. Maintain a motion to adjourn. I make the motion to adjourn tonight's special board meeting. I second. All those in favor? All right. We're adjourned.
