Sewer Commission 04/09/2026

(Episode Description is AI generated and may be errors in accuracy)

A car wash wants to take over an old restaurant, and the headline isn’t soaps or vacuums, it’s wastewater. We walk through how the Raynham Board of Civil Commissioners thinks about sewer capacity, change of use, and what “8,600 gallons per day” really means once recycling and discharge are on the table. Along the way, we dig into practical due diligence like camera-scoping an older sewer service before anyone assumes the existing pipe can handle a new operation.

We also share a detailed superintendent report that reads like a real-time snapshot of municipal sewer operations: new sewer connections, pump station spring cleanup, storm-related repairs, and the kind of modern equipment headaches towns now face, including multiple software-driven vehicle recalls. On the infrastructure side, we talk about the Route 44 pump station control project, VFD cabinet replacements, manual operations during the switchover, and why operator training and collection system certification is part of keeping wastewater systems reliable.

Then we shift to the governance decisions that keep projects moving: reviewing a wide spread of bids for a manhole lining project, discussing procurement confidence, and setting direction for budget articles, capital planning, and GIS work. We close with the human side of public works leadership as we discuss screening applicants and lining up interviews for the next sewer superintendent.

If you care about wastewater treatment, PFAS in wastewater, municipal budgeting, or how local permitting really works, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this with a neighbor, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Back In Open Session

Superintendent Report And Projects

SPEAKER_02 1:14

Calling this session back to order at 634. We have exited executive session, and there were no votes taken and no action initiated. So now here we are. So moved. You you read the minutes and you're satisfied? Yeah. I'm second. Okay. Moved by Mr. Bickle. Second by Mr. Callahor. Any further questions of the inductions? No. None? All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye. It's approved. 3-0. No correspondence. No. Okay. Superintendent's report. Thank you.

SPEAKER_03 2:26

Winding down your term, they're getting shorter and shorter.

SPEAKER_06 2:30

Pretty soon we have to pay the whole pictures. Superintendent report, April 9th, 2026. Department operations. We have had six connections to the sewer system this past month, so things are starting to pick up with the better weather. All sewer users should have not received their sewer bills. The due date on those is Monday, April 13th. We're not busy with the Route 44 project. That crew has been performing spring cleanup at the stations. They had removed roughly 10 half of IDs over to Nottingham Dragon Station. They had obtained some damage throughout the uh the winter with the storms we had, and plus they were getting pretty overgrown anyway, so they were upwards about 15 feet. So we took them out and planted some new ones there. Joe Correa has been replacing some of the fence posts around town. Development stations, uh, some of them had some uh damage also through the storms. And uh Sean has been over at the uh Elm Street East puppet station cleaning that. Uh the new uh 26 truck uh reported we received every had multiple recalls on it. So uh the um yeah including the uh 2023 utility body we had here, but um Record Ford actually come over to the department here and uh did the recalls here basically was just uh updates on the computer system. That's right. Uh so basically that 2026 is a 2025 cab. It was built in 20 uh 25. Yeah, just plugged it in. Yeah. Took a while. There was multiple recalls actually on the new one. Uh but all all uh on the computer. Yeah. Yeah. Uh the sewer rate uh relief fund uh submitted an application to the uh division of local services as part of the sewer rate relief fund. Uh the information they they uh use to related to the sewer construction debt service, which is provided to me from Chris Labulette. Um, this is the report from the uh Division of Local Services, and just uh giving you that to show you uh where we stand and where other town stands on on the amount of money received. But the amount of money that Rainham did receive was uh five thousand five hundred twenty-nine dollars as part of that fund. And uh we'll see multiple cities and towns there. Interestingly enough, I don't see anything we call it, although they haven't really had any sewer sewer infrastructure done. Uh the FY27 budget. Um I haven't heard yet from the finance committee as for a time and date to uh to meet with that. I'm expecting that to be pretty soon, seeing that the annual meeting is May 18th, and uh was a due on April 13th. Uh manhole landing project. We received three quotes uh for this project, which we do on March 26th, uh low bid being$26,075, high bid being$113,169, and the middle bid being$40,250. That's later on in the agenda to discuss that and hopefully get an approval to award that. Uh, Pine Street subdivisions, the Pine Street subdivisions continue to move forward. The sewer main is now installed on one of the two new streets on the east side of that project. This sewer main on White Back Lane consists of roughly 600 feet of gravity main and 150 feet of low pressure force main with uh with six sewer services involved, three of them being gravity services and three of them will be low pressure services. Pressure testing of the gravity line was accomplished as well as vacuum testing of two manholes with one of those manholes not passing the test, so that's going to be re-retested. Mandel testing on the gravity line and pressure testing of the two-inch low pressure forcement school needs to be accomplished as well. In the Route 44 control project, this project was started on Monday, March 23rd. The initial work involved the removal of the entire control board, which consisted of the computer system, the PLC display, along with all the wires and relays. This equipment was then relocated outside of the cabinet to make room for the new computer equipment to be installed. The station was monitored and run manually to maintain the wet wall level throughout the day. The wet weld monitoring system that Chris put together last month worked out very well for that. I showed you a picture on that on the last report last month. And uh that worked out perfectly for us. The remainder of the week involved the removal of the pump number three BFD cabinet, extending the cement mounting platform, parting the floor, and running the electric cardwoods, followed by placing the new number three BFD cabinet in place and wiring it into the new control panel and equipment. The station has been running on that new BFD without any issues since the swap off, so that's uh very promising. Uh work resumes on um on the week of the April 20th, uh on the week of April 20th to complete the installation of the remaining two BFD cabinets. Uh I would expect uh void of any complications that we should be wrapped up before our next meeting. And uh that picture the pictures you see down there, the first one on the left, is the uh the old controls, and you can see the multiple relays and wires in there. That's now mounted outside of the cabinet as seen in the middle picture. Uh you can see it mounted to the right, and to the left, you can see the new equipment mounted in the old cabinet. Your picture on the right is the new VFD. It's actually uh quite a bit bigger than the old one. You can just make up the look the old one on the right there. Another thing to mention, Sean and Chris will be taking classes uh and testing for the uh collectance collective system certification, and uh they'll be going for the grade four collective system exam. Um, the William Waterworks Association puts that on, they'll be putting it on here. And that'll be uh in May, May 11th, I think it starts here. Um they'll be going for the grade four. Sean currently has a grade two, uh Chris doesn't have one yet. So uh good luck to them on that. Hopefully they can get that. That's all I get for that. So thank you. Thank you.

Proposed Car Wash Sewer Review

SPEAKER_05 9:12

New business. Yep, Washville car wash. Okay, you're right. Thank you. Okay, thank you. Thank you for Joe. See you now, Frank Dordy. Yeah, nice to meet you. There you go. Frank Joe, pleasure to meet you. Hello, Joe. Um, I'm with Washville Car Wash, and we're looking to develop a car wash at what is the old Ihop restaurant at 235 New State Road. And I want to come in um, just in response to sort of some general feedback that we got at the uh department review last week, start a conversation with the commissioners to the permitting processes, talk a little bit about what we do, and from a sewer standpoint, talk about our treatment system as well. Um in broad strokes, um, we have 26 of these facilities already operating. We'll close another four to eight this year, probably eight next year. So we sort of have this system now in terms of how we treat the water and how we uh build these color washes. Um in this location, um we have the old restaurant, and I think our water use will be less than those there now in terms of how it's operating. Um probably be around 8,600 gallons per day average for wastewater, and about 9,000 gallons average for water. And uh we use and replant about 60% of the water. So we haven't had a system where we capture the water that's coming through. We have a bar screen within the trough, in the car wash, it goes to a primary treatment, then secondary, then tertiary treatment. We inject ozone and oxygen for uh biology and then oxygen in the water. Um, and then we decant off a lot of that and reuse it to kind of recirculate that, and then surfacing that gets into the water separate part into the sewer. Um so whether we reuse the existing sewer pipe for a restaurant or we can modify that, we'll have to work out the details once our engineers have all of their sleeves on looking at the site. Um so I have a couple basic questions. Um This is not a brand new development. We have a connection, and we have less wastewater going out. So what is the permitting and review process? Is it one separate from the site planning application, or what do you all want me to do?

SPEAKER_06 11:42

So um you're gonna have 8,600 gallons of wastewater a day? Average, yes. Okay, and that's after you recycle. Correct.

unknown 11:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 11:53

All right, I'll have to look into um how much we were using over there's average past three years for the restaurant. I think it was less than that. Okay, the facts are the facts.

SPEAKER_05 12:06

So if it's less than what's the process, if it's more, what's the process? Right, yeah. We're okay with the either path. Okay. Yeah, whatever is the right way to do it right here.

SPEAKER_06 12:16

And then I'll have to look and see what uh what we would do on on uh on a fee on that, seeing as always a change of use. I think we have a fee on if it's more gallons than what was originally coming out of that. Okay. I think it may have been ten dollars per gallon.

SPEAKER_05 12:32

Okay, and uh whatever those are um asking issues with this system from the source?

SPEAKER_06 12:43

I mean it's an existing building that we were seeing flow from, anyways, and as long as any astronomical increase, I would see that being an issue. How old is it, Rob? Uh it's pretty old. I mean it's pretty old.

SPEAKER_04 12:55

Pretty old building. So I mean, would you get an update or yeah?

SPEAKER_06 12:59

So one thing with the pre the pre-submission meeting, I mentioned to them that we'd like to have that um them camera the existing sewer service to make sure it's you know sound. Um we had that problem over at uh Starbucks, which used to be friendlies. And when they came at the line, it was totally destroyed. It was a cast iron line, it was rotted right out. Um I don't think you're gonna have that problem there, but we won't know.

SPEAKER_05 13:22

Alright, so I'll I'll ask the engineers, you know, from a design perspective, can it be used? If it's all camera, it can output in a noodle. Yeah. That works. Okay. Um the other thing we had talked about was um you so this is a power washer with a tunnel. So you sort of drive in, you go through the car wash, and you drive out. And at the entrance and the exit, we we typically have a concrete pad and we heat that pad because we don't want them icing up in the winter. The ice coming in or leaving. And um, we talked about how is that pad pitched because we don't want to be introducing rainwater into our combustion system, else we'd supposed to do sewer. And this is bad practice. So we are going to pitch it away, like we had to talk about. With a burn?

SPEAKER_06 14:07

We're talking about doing a burn too.

SPEAKER_05 14:08

We wouldn't do a burn. Some people get a little bit anxious trying to get dry it in. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 14:12

I just want to make sure the rainwater doesn't get early. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 14:15

I can do that. I can look at putting in a stormwater trench drain, uh, which is in case we get a lot of water, which we have had recently.

SPEAKER_06 14:23

You know, that would be tied into the drainage system, not the sort of. I would like that. There's a decent grade there, actually. Yeah. So you were you were talking originally about it being either flatter actually dry down into it, I think is what you mentioned.

SPEAKER_05 14:36

Exactly. That's why I brought it up to just to talk it through. I mean, people what we don't like is have going into a tunnel, having it very steep. People are sort of nervous driving in and lining their tires, and then they hit the gas and then they go through the side of the building, which we don't prefer. So um we'll look into a trench drain this time into the sewer, as a strong sewer, yeah. Uh as a backup. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 15:05

Yeah. Yeah, that type of detail we need to just go through with superintendent. Like you said, this is a slight change to occupancy, and uh I'm not saying that's an awful lot of water a day, but it is an increase, and uh we just need to be aware of the fact that uh we are given an allotment at Toronto. And uh we don't want to exceed the allotment because uh we have a number of residents who have not hooked up to the sewer yet. It's in front of the house, but for whatever reason, the aseptic system is still working, so they're not gonna spend the money. But without having that flow in the system, you know, all of a sudden. So and we're we are working with Taunton to increase our capacity with them. It's a struggle, but uh we still have it on the table. You keep talking to them about increasing the amount.

SPEAKER_05 16:28

So if our flow is greater than what was going there prior, you know, with the restaurant, what is the permit process? Is there an application I have to send that sort of sewer?

SPEAKER_06 16:44

Yeah, so you're definitely doing 8,600, you're thinking? I believe so. Okay, sorry. Let me look into how much we were doing with the restaurant so we can figure out if there's a problem there or not.

SPEAKER_05 16:54

Um I will say that, and we just started looking at this week, we're looking at an advanced water treatment system with nanobubbles. You ever heard of that? Well, they're nano, as you would imagine. Very fine bubble, and we inju we inject oxygen into it, and it increases the dissolved oxygen tremendously. The density is just unbelievable, and it's it's fairly new technology, and what it will do is allow us to polish the water even better and recycle more and discharge less. But the concept for us is two days old in terms of understanding.

SPEAKER_02 17:28

When you say you recycle, do you use the recycle water on the initial wetting of the cars, and then you come in with the fresh water and soap, and then blow dry it type of thing?

SPEAKER_05 17:45

Generally, we use the recycled water. So after it's gone through a series of tanks, a series of filters, inject the ozone and the oxygen. We then sort of peel that part off and use it like for the underspray and the beginning of the wash. We use the domestic fresh water for the last rits. It's just what they said. Yeah, yeah. It's just it makes no sense to you know have a customer leave the spots in their car because they're just gonna drive through again and it's just bad practice. So use it for the rough cleaning, if you will.

SPEAKER_04 18:17

And it's just a single tunnel, I don't see any self-wash bays or anything like that. Just a single tunnel and some vacuums?

SPEAKER_05 18:23

Single tunnel, the vacuums are free. Um and when we're so our operating hours are Monday through Saturday. Uh typically it's uh 7 to 7.30. Um Sundays it's 8 to 5. And when the facility is closed, the vacuum shut off. So no one's there at 2 in the morning vacuuming, things like that. But while we're open, the vacuum's approach.

SPEAKER_06 18:47

When you're closed, do you like uh the mobile station uh over on 130A? They have a uh a drive-thru type of uh car wash over there. And when they're closed, they have doors that come down. Do you that? We do. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 19:03

And even while we're operating, if there's no cars coming through the tunnel, the doors can be out there. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:09

Is this touchless?

SPEAKER_05 19:13

The answer is yes, I think that word means different things to different people. There's brushes. Yeah, brushes touch the car. They they they do. Okay. Yeah. So some people call that touchless, some don't. So what happens is so we have lasers to come in, and when the cars come in, for instance, if you have a truck with a rack, the brushes are hydraulically operated with a sensor to not press down like it's a creatus. Got it, for instance. Um there's a preusion when you get the brushes down to get the top clean. So it does it does assess the vehicle coming through. And if you're a member or a returning customer, then we say, All right, you know, Fred's got a Creus and John has an F-150. When John comes in, the computer says, Here's John, and he's got the big truck, so the lasers pick it up. So very cool. It's pretty advanced, and you know, it didn't start out that way, but we're getting there.

SPEAKER_04 20:02

Yeah, with each iteration. Which your closest facility that member that mayor is that? Where is that from here?

SPEAKER_05 20:08

Uh let me think. Uh probably Cranston, Rhode Island. We're building one in Somerset, and we'll be building one in Brockton. Uh but Cranston's probably the closest city. Cranston, Middletown. Massachusetts, we have a lot up in Hayward, Methylin, a lot in Maine, and a lot in Southern Shore. Uh it's going to be a 985 D. So it's uh cardio shouldn't Enterprise Carolina. And we'll probably start in that in the next 60 days.

SPEAKER_06 20:48

Uh one thing I'm interested in the pre-submission is about the pre-treatment. Yes. Uh we send our wastewater to Taunton. So Tauton has is the one that actually does the pre-treatment coordination. Uh I did speak with the girl uh this week, and she was gonna look into that. She wasn't too familiar with the regulations on a car wash, although she thought they were getting more stringent because of PFAS. I mean, we've heard of PFAS in the in the drinking water, but I guess now DEP is possibly only try-regulating it in the wastewater.

SPEAKER_05 21:20

Yeah, so we do PFAS testing up in Conquer, New Hampshire, and a lot of the New Hampshire. Really the surfactants is what you're trying to control because that breaks down to the PFAS issue. But up so far we've had not had any problems with uh PFAS compliance. I guess only get better. If we do this advanced treatment starting to look at it, it'll get better. And it uses less water and it's good all around. Well, wash it's popping up everywhere.

SPEAKER_06 21:51

You gotta go on 138 though, there's nothing over there. There was one. There was one.

SPEAKER_04 21:58

Yeah, that's good. Yeah, that was a long time ago.

SPEAKER_02 22:02

Yeah, it wasn't. Yeah, but those days we gotta walk a lot of holes and walk, track everything, pay walk. Uh this uh this scientific, you know, they can get everything clean except the reactors.

SPEAKER_06 22:18

Are you still gonna go to the water department too and get approval yet?

SPEAKER_05 22:21

I'll be there Monday night plan. I'm just sort of informal. We're coming, here's what we do. What should we keep in mind to do it? Hopefully, correct the first time. That's great.

SPEAKER_03 22:34

It's better than most. Good. Okay. Yeah, we're sure no heavy lessons. Good luck.

SPEAKER_05 22:40

Appreciate that.

SPEAKER_03 22:41

And Rob, you'll get the water count form. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 22:44

Yeah, we can work on that. And if there's some permit, and even if there's not a permit, if Ton needs you know a survey filled out or a water testing on the way to go. Yeah, good. Great. Thank you so much. Have a great time. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, Rob.

Manhole Lining Bid Award

SPEAKER_02 23:02

Okay. Manual mining request.

SPEAKER_06 23:07

Report. Notice of award. So as mentioned in the report, um, we opened uh bids on March 26th. And I mentioned the bid uh mounts here. You know, you'll see that national water main was a little bitter. They ran up in Canton. And they used the preferred uh courting system that we like, which is uh made by Warren Environmental. Um so Thay Bond had reviewed the the courts and uh said everything looked to be at the power. Um so I'm just looking for uh uh the approval to give the notice to award to uh the National Water for the$26,075. I have a question.

SPEAKER_02 23:46

Do we get any uh say you Thay and Bond looked at this?

SPEAKER_06 23:53

Yes, they put the uh the bid specs and all that together for us.

SPEAKER_02 24:00

The difference is uh it's just unbelievable. First and second, I can see that, but a hundred and thirteen thousand dollars.

SPEAKER_06 24:12

If you look at that, uh so I know National Waterman and the Stitcher Form are both involved with soil work and water work, you know, the bigger jobs. I don't recognize the IJ Forbes painting, and he almost sounds like he's just a painter of some sort. Maybe he didn't know really what he was bidding on. I don't I don't can answer that. So we want to pay 150%.

SPEAKER_03 24:35

Well, the crack he's not gonna be in business for quite no, I I know who this person is. They're a very good organization. Yes, very, very good organization.

SPEAKER_06 24:49

Do they do industrial technical work like that?

SPEAKER_03 24:51

Yes, I do not, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_06 24:54

Oh yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_04 24:56

They're they're well not to my knowledge. Yeah. Any familiarity with National Water Main?

SPEAKER_06 25:02

Yes, they've done uh work in town. They actually worked on some some stuff. Both National Water Main and the Stitch of Forum did some work in town for us. Uh National Water Main actually did just lined a manhole for um the project down on Pine Street paid for by the contractor because we wanted the as part of the specs for the sewer main over there, we wanted them to line the uh the sewer manhole. Yep. So National Water Main was actually the company that did it.

SPEAKER_04 25:28

Unless we've had a problem with them on the procurement laws, it's a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 25:30

No, it was good, yeah. Well, a little better, and your recommendation is I think that uh let's just give the superintendent the authority to go ahead and sign a contract. We did.

SPEAKER_06 25:46

So this will be a notice award, then we've got to wait for some documentation to come back and then the contract to be noticeable proceeded.

SPEAKER_02 25:51

Yeah, that's within your scope of responsibility. Thank you. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 25:57

Uh old business? Yeah, as mentioned, um articles are due, uh draft articles. I would have to say they probably are uh on 13th. Um meeting being being May 18th. Okay. This is how we're drafting them. I I have a feeling still our health insurance and retirement costs will be adjusted, but the bottom line we're not gonna change. We're gonna we'll put that money somewhere else if we uh if they go and reduce those line items. Um I'm thinking possibly gasoline with what's going on now. We kind of cut that um during the budget process, and uh we probably put it in back down there at the bottom line. So I wouldn't I wouldn't want to change the bottom line of the of the budget.

SPEAKER_02 26:46

We voted the bottom line. Yes. And uh we will take the position that uh regardless of what they tell us, should reduce it. No, we don't. It's as simple as that. That's what the and everything is predicated on that's what we need. We have revenue to cover it. And if they want to get on a little faster track to give us information to fill in on the line that they say we can't estimate, then we will that's fine. Just two articles.

SPEAKER_06 27:27

Yep. Now one thing I did do on the capital plan uh that's that I submitted, um, I put on the capital plan uh for a new vehicle for the superintendent. Um put an article in for that, they can do that in the fall. Um, and also for the GIS to continue with the GIS uh process. So uh that's coming along very well, the GIS system. Good. Um it's on the capital plan. Um I have no articles. We can put it in if you like uh during the annual, or we can wait until uh we just got uh we just got the one we ordered last year.

Superintendent Search Next Steps

SPEAKER_02 28:07

Correct, yeah. And you had to go back for yeah, recall recall, okay. So the uh last year, this year, we'll be putting one in for next year. Yeah. So we'll do that in the fall. Very good. All right, now we're down to a report to the general public who might be awake at this moment. You're gonna give us a report on the posting results that we have for the candidates who applied for superintendent.

SPEAKER_06 28:44

So we had uh 13 in all that applied. Um out of those 13, seven may have some background. And out of those uh three stood out to me, and more more or less two really stood out to me. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 29:08

So I asked the question that uh we've had these, so we've had an opportunity to look through. Um the three that uh he put in as uh let's say the first team. Yes. Okay. Do I like direction as to whether or not you want to add or delete and tell me how many or who that you would like me to do the interview with and see which one comes up to being. And if you see anybody in the second group that was possible, but not as strong as the first group that you'd like to add. Remember, this is just the superintendent's initial uh feed through, which he did a good job of, as usual. Thank you. And uh I think what I'll try to do is within the next uh this is able within the next week or so try to make direct contact with the candidate instead of a time to have them come here and I will go through the process of interviewing and discussing them how I'm superintendent as a sidekick. Excuse me. It must be spring. Most natives are gonna make a complain about allergies, and they're gonna have to start taking the honeydew stuff. And um try to get it completed, I'll keep you informed uh as we go along, or he can keep you informed as we go along, and uh be able to do something at uh the May uh meeting, uh and uh we've taken and uh get the contract spread away for them to come to work for us uh the day after he retired. That would be the time time frame.

SPEAKER_04 31:56

Thank you for the work. And some of the qualifications and certifications are formed you know foreign to me. So thank you for putting them in the criteria and putting them in order for finalists and other considerations as well.

SPEAKER_02 32:12

So I appreciate that. So I would say to you, now that you have them and you got a chance to do within the next day or two, if you want to add some uh delete some, let me know, and I will set up uh time between he and I and contact the people to uh take you. Okay. So I'm ready to go and see if we can get uh a replacement. Uh I don't think we can replace them, uh, but they'll maybe they will end up being uh, you know, a lot better than as good a servant as he has been. And I can't say enough about the job you've done with us for the past eight years. Very good. So appreciate it. I would not upset that. Make it even sabotage. Really make it easy. Yeah, well, he's you know, he deserves a he deserves a break. He's gonna go home to his wife and he's gonna worship his back working. She's gonna worship his back working. She's told you that yeah, you're gonna wish you still working. Okay. Uh anything else for my uh fellow people? If you can pertain to this or old business? Well, uh the the old old business is the superintendent, what he just did. Yeah. Uh I would appreciate you reviewing saying, well, I'd like to see what this guy is, okay. Give it, you know, and I will go from there and we'll be off in the running.

My initial impression is if if the superintendent developed a top three or a series of finalists, that they are automatically in the running and deserve an interview, and I'd just like to look at some of the fine print on the other considerations. You said you had seven out of thirteen. Yes. Yeah, so look, just look at some of that fine print to see if they were also uh interview worthy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:34

Um I think just you know some along the pass on the okay. No emergency business.

SPEAKER_03 34:47

No commission meeting. I have one. Uh June meeting. Just keep in mind next month. I might have to well definitely gonna have to reschedule if you guys have a conflict. I will be in Denver for work. June or May. June June. June meeting. I think that's uh might be June 10th, June 11th, something along those lines. I'll be in Denver for work. So we might have to reschedule that one unless we can address it. You want to address it in May or Canada?

SPEAKER_02 35:13

Yeah. Um well uh if we can get everything done in May, June is just uh our meeting would be to say bye. That's it.

unknown 35:29

That's it.

SPEAKER_02 35:30

Because if you're gonna be in Denver on the 11th, he's gonna be out on the 26th, so which is two weeks later. We'll do it visually.

unknown 35:43

We just need to know which one of the toilets we want to put in the already.

SPEAKER_02 35:48

You know, that that's that's one that has to be voted by the commission.

SPEAKER_03 35:55

You don't deserve this problem.

SPEAKER_02 36:01

I was complicating and contemplating getting a five-gallon bucket with a seat and put it in. Uh you can see that we get along well. If there be nothing else, I would uh ask for a motion to adjourn for the purpose of uh administrative duties and taking no further action. So moved. Second. Moved by Mr. Bickle, seconded by Mr. Keller. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye. We are adjourned at 7:09 p.m. Thank you. See you next week.
