DIRECTOR of FINANCE and HUMAN RESOURCES REPORT:
1. The BOC agreed to have Mrs. Hogan distribute the approved Profit and Loss financial statement for the month ended February 2024 to the Town of Littleton.
2. Mrs. Hogan reviewed the highlights of the financial statements for the month ended March 2024 with the Commissioners. Several variances as compared to the budget were discussed and explained by Mrs. Hogan. The water division appears to be under budget as a loss was projected for the first quarter whereas the electric division is on budget. Mrs. Hogan explained that overall, for the quarter ended March 2024 the LWL bottom line is slightly above the approved budget projection.
SUPERINTENDENT/ GENERAL MANAGERS REPORT:
Geosphere Environment will be on site this week as several test pits and soils resistivity test will be performed in conjunction of the Lafayette substation rebuild. The soil characteristics will be logged and depth to refusal (solid rock) will be recorded at each of the locations. At the same time a soils resistivity test will be performed which is needed to design the proper grounding for the new substation. The cost of Geosphere’s work effort and final report is substantially less than what was previously proposed by another contractor that was discussed previously.
LWL water personnel are working on Heather Lane to relocate a service line that was installed incorrectly years ago and should not have been accepted by LWL. As the service location is not near the water main and should not have been allowed to interconnect to the water system in the first place. The lateral (about 200 feet) was installed in the roadway co-located with the sewer service line and has been problematic for LWL since installation. LWL will relocate this service outside the travel way and turn-over ownership of the lateral to the customers. This does not correct the initial error but improves the situation going forward.
MEETING ADJOURNMENT:
There being no further business to come before the board Commissioner Ross made a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Commissioner MacNeil.
The vote was in favor of the motion 3-0-0.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:45 p.m.
The regularly scheduled Commissioner’s meeting is held twice monthly on the first and third Monday, at 1:00 p.m., in the Department’s conference room.
