GUEST:
Mark Schwerdtfeger, Vice-President of Sustainability, Safety and Wellness and Scott Weyandt, Director of Sustainability and Compliance from Shearer Foods were in attendance to talk about the odors coming from their plant and answer audience questions and concerns. They stated the community is very important to them. They are aware of the odor issue that started on Memorial Day and understand how it was quite a nuisance. They have pinpointed some areas where they can change and correct that. They are here as a partner of the community. A large portion of what happened was with their waste water. It is not human waste but waste from potatoes and corn. The human waste goes to the Village's treatment facility. The large tanks they have are above ground and when there are sudden changes in temperature, it creates a challenge for the water to hold onto oxygen. When they lose oxygen, it tends to create odors. It was not something they planned to happen on the holiday weekend. They try to prepare for those sudden changes but with the sudden change that happened, they weren't able to react fast enough. When dealing with a million gallons of water, mostly stable, when it changes direction, it is very hard to get it back to where it needs to be. They have taken steps, with not only staffing at the plant but changing the chemicals in the water, to prevent the sulfur from being released. They have switched their chemicals and put their guys on a high alert and have employees checking the neighborhoods on every shift trying to monitor the odor. Mr. Weyandt has been there for seven years and they have been continually trying to improve. He stated these last two weekends are not indicative of the improvements that they have made. In previous years, there have been many people that have called to let them know about their problems and concerns when something like this happens. There are several people on staff and he, himself will talk to you about what is going on. It was more challenging this year because the feedback did not come directly from residents who are using social media sites that Shearers doesn't have access to. It's very hard to talk to residents about what is going right or what is going wrong, and what they are doing to address it. They need that direct dialogue and hope in the future that they can promote better communication between Shearers and the residents. He urged everyone to not be afraid to call the plant. They will either take the call or give you a call right back. It's their job and is a partnership with the Village to continue to take strides in the right direction. They get frustrated when things go the wrong direction but they are trying to make things better. Mr. Schwerdtfeger stated that a pump went down but it will be coming in on Wednesday, and will install then. Until then they are putting deodorizer not only in the tanks, but also around them. Today he stood on top of the tank and he couldn't smell it. They have five fulltime wastewater employees that Mr. Weyandt supervises and it's a big operation. There is a lot that goes into it. The floor was then opened up to questions and concerns.
Tom Beck, 334 Barber St NE., stated that it seems to him that the blowers are turning on and off continuously. He stated if you turn the blowers on and off it is going to go septic. He stated that he heard they were processing about 250,000 gallons a day. Mr. Weyandt stated they are permitted for 220,000 gallons a day, but they average about 160,000 gallons a day and they do turn the blowers off sequentially. It is part of their cycle, they have three tanks, when one is aerating the another is settling, they switch back and forth, that is how their system is set up to work. Mr. Beck stated that if the air is off, it will go septic. Mr. Weyandt stated the system is designed to go through this cycle. It is meant and designed to go through these cycles. Shearers waste water workers training was discussed. He stated there is a propeller motor that is being repaired but he does not feel that is the real issue. When there is a quick fluctuation in temperature, the bugs in the tanks are starved for oxygen, they steal it from the hydrogen sulfide and that leaves the sulfur which creates the smell. Sludge pressing was discussed. They are trying to get things fixed as fast as they can. Mr. Weyandt stated he would like to have the residents come look at the system.
Derek Decker, 344 Barber, stated this is not the first time for the odor problems. It reeks in the mornings. His jeep and basement reeked of sewage for days. He understands that Shearers is a great economic asset to the Village but this has been going on for years. He stated there are laws concerning odors, air pollution and they are flirting on the edge of this. Mr. Weyandt stated they work with the health department and the Ohio EPA. He stated the process is the same at night as it is in the daytime. It is the density in the air at night that makes it more noticeable. It's when the air cools down that it brings the odors down where you can notice it in your homes. The cycles repeat every four hours day and night. He recognizes that this should not be happening. Mr. Decker stated that it seems to always happen on weekends or holidays when you can't get ahold of the EPA or Shearers on the phone.
Heather Hockensmith, 527 Walhondling, is from the same neighborhood, she also is born and raised in Brewster. She stated it is not only the smell but the air quality. She believes cannot be healthy. She is concerned about the health for families with children. She stated our homes stink, our cars stink, and we are worried about how this affects the health of our children and families. Mr. Schwerdtfeger stated that Shearers is not as much concerned about the compliance issue as they are about making things better for the community. They will do whatever it takes. They are bringing in consultants and doing everything possible to make it better. Mrs. Hockensmith stated the odors were really bad in 2009, but this Memorial Day topped it. Mr. Weyandt stated there is a number to call for after hour and he will provide it to them. Mrs. Hockensmith asked if Council has called this after hours number and backed the residents on this. Several Council Members shook their heads yes and the Mayor stated he had made several calls. She stated that it would help their frustrations if that could be relayed to the residents. Many people feel they are battling this situation alone and letting them know that the Village officials are backing them would help a lot. They need to know that there are people that know what they are going through. Mr. Weyandt stated that if they haven't made the after hours number available enough that they will do so now. Mayor Schwab stated he will put it on the Village's official website (www.brewsterohio.com).
Mr. Decker asked about the piece of equipment that needed repaired and if that was the issue. Mr. Weyandt stated it was the digester that was the problem. The digester is working properly but it lost oxygen in the one tank. It comes back to the temperature fluctuations. They need to make their process more bullet proof. Part of the challenge is that Shearers has grown really fast and the Village hasn't. They are continually taking steps to make things better.
Ken Shook, 141 Superior St., stated they have done a great job supporting their claims but he wants to know if something else may have happened, maybe something upstream. Could someone have dropped a batch of grease or something that the system could not handle. His concern is that this hasn't slowed them down a bit. They keep pushing production even though they know there is a problem. The tanks can't continue to process and catch up at the same time. Mr. Weyandt stated once those tanks start to go bad, it is a slow process to get them back to treating properly. He also stated the ramping up of production for the holiday occurred six weeks before the holiday in order to have the product available to the customers. Mr. Shook stated it was production none the less and it tells him that someone didn't care. Mr. Schwerdtfeger stated if things go wrong they have chosen to shut down at some plants. Mr. Shook stated they did not do it here, we all have assumptions but the bottom line is the odor is still there. We can feel your empathy but now you have to make it right and make it right for a while.
Heather Hockensmith asked if then are only dumping 160,000 into the tank and they are allowed 220,000, what is it going to smell like at that level. Mr. Weyandt assured them that it could handle it. Mr. Weyandt discussed the lines and their water use. He talked about the high water usage production lines that have been moved to Massillon and how this should be helping. They will continue to work and get through this to make it better.
Mr. Decker stated it is not every now and then. Down in the lower sections of the northside, Barber and Mohican Streets, it happens frequently at night every summer. It starts every single night at 9:42pm. They can provide documentation of the times it occurs. Mr. Decker stated open lines of communication need to be established. How can Shearers keep them updated? Someone in the audience mentioned social media. Mr. Weyandt offered a tour of the waste water plant. The solution for the odor problem was discussed. Mr. Weyandt and Mr. Schwerdtfeger offered their email and stated to call the facility. It was stated that the odors come and go. It has never been this consistent.
Council Member Tharp asked that Shearers provide the residents contact information and that Shearers send letters explaining what has happened whenever there is an issue. Mr. Schwerdtfeger stated all he needs is the information. Mr. Weyandt stated they don't have access to the forum that has been used to communicate between the residents. He was used to getting phone calls when residents had an issue.
Matt Martin, 140 Huron, asked if there was a way that the tanks could be covered. Mr. Weyandt explained that the tanks were designed to be open and they needed to be open in order to work properly.
Mr. Shook stated they should empty the tank that went septic, 160,000 gallons would be 5 truckloads. Mr. Weyandt stated that they are taking out 100,000 gallons as they speak. Action plans were discussed.
Council Member Strausbaugh stated he typically deals with the dairy. What is his understanding, he doesn't think there was any malicious intent to make our Memorial Day weekend terrible. Shame on both parties in that the contact information wasn't readily available and residents shouldn't jump to conclusions. Mrs. Hockensmith stated the people that were making the nasty comments aren't the people that are here. Maybe those people have not done their research or dealt with this before. Council Member Strausbaugh's comments don't pertain to this group of people here. Mr. Strausbaugh stated the important thing is that Shearers is here and that they are taking care of the problem. When asked, Mayor Schwab stated that he had contacted Shearers and Scott Weyandt on Memorial Day weekend and again the following weekend. Also stated was that since Tuesday, May 27th, the Mayor and the VA have been in contact with Shearers through a conference call and visits to Shearers and Village Hall.
Council Member Godwin stated word of mouth is the fastest way for information to travel. It smelled like something died. These residents want to know that if there is a hint of smell that it will be taken care of promptly and not wait three days. He understands what the residents are saying. Mr. Schwerdtfeger stated he wanted to get email addresses and contact information and wants to work together on this. He appreciates that everyone here seems pretty knowledgeable on this. They invited residents to come up and take a tour. Mr. Weyandt explained what they are currently doing as far as taking steps in the right direction. Mrs. Hockensmith is concerned that Shearers knows the smell is that bad and that they are working on it. She understands it will take time. Mr. Schwerdtfeger stated he will email them the action plan by Friday. They will make a distribution list.

The Oktoberfest is still up in the air as to whether it would be worth it after the insurance cost. Council Member Hilliard asked what the profit was from the festival. It had not been tallied yet. He also stated that there were ruts made in the walking path. Capt. Colucy stated they may have to put plates over the path next year.

Colucy stated this is the first year that he has heard anything about the association having to have their own insurance. In the past, he was told it was covered under the Village's plan. Solicitor McCallin asked about the limits on the policy. Capt. Colucy responded $1,000,000/$2,000,000.

VILLAGE MAYOR: Mike Schwab
Wish to request Council’s direction to allow the Village to maintain a three man electric department with the impending retirement of the Electric Superintendent; some options – provide an industry competitive wage, rehire retired Superintendent if willing to return, or do nothing and compromise reliability and Village’s ability to complete maintenance projects. The Village has advertised twice and the applicants withdrew once they knew what the wages were. The applicants were able to make significantly more elsewhere. VA Pauley stated it is not just the fact that Supt. Radich is leaving but the fact that he takes 38 years of knowledge of our electric system with him. Council Member Tharp presented a brochure for a company that looks at wage structure. He wants to hire a consultant to restructure the Village's wages.
Economic Development projects that the Mayor would like to suggest but due to limited time did not present during the 6pm Committee session: explore the formation of a Brewster business association, the creation of an Economic Fund with funds returned from purchase of Sturm’s lot, install Brewster Marketplace sign listing Village businesses at Village entrances. Mayor Schwab provided pictures of the current signs and a sketch of the possible addition.
VA Pauley to provide Council with an estimate to re-grade and reseed grass portion of Sturm’s lot.
Council: Please review the 05/19 handout concerning projected sewer utility revenue. The base for some of the engineers original figures were incorrect.
Council copy: 05/23 Email concerning Walker case, ODNR Oil Well review, PD & the Independent, Legion Letter, Village Hall renovation bulletin board, Village Facebook site, tonight’s economic development meeting.
Mayor Schwab discussed creating a new fund: Brewster Cares Fund. It is an economic development fund. It could be used to advertise for a farmers market, grade the old Sturm's lot, provide low interest loans for small businesses. VA Pauley discussed using it as a revolving loan fund or to match grants. This would require seed money and protocols.
Council Member Hilliard stated that he didn't want to get stuck with four electricians again.
Council Member Tharp addressed Chief Porter concerning a letter Chief Porter wrote to the Mayor and Council stating that Council Member Tharp put on Facebook that the PD did not make the public aware of an attempted abduction of an 11 year old boy at Family Dollar on May 18th, and referred residents to the Mayor. Chief Porter stated that Council Member Tharp should have called and got the facts instead of jumping on the computer and criticizing the Police Department. If he would have come to see him or called, he could have known the facts of the notice to the Independent. Council Member Tharp stated he didn't put anything about the case on Facebook, and that he didn't need to know anything about the case. Chief Porter stated that Captain Creter followed the proper procedure in contacting the local newspaper, but the Independent dropped the ball. All he had to do was call and ask. Council Member Tharp stated he doesn't have to come and ask anything. He referred people to the Mayor who is an elected official. He felt having people call the Chief is ridiculous. He stated he felt it's the Mayor's responsibility. Chief Porter stated you took it upon yourself to put comments on the computer putting the police department down. Council Member Tharp said that was bull. Chief Porter spoke to the Mayor because that is how he felt it was put out there. The Mayor ask that we move on with the meeting.
VILLAGE CLERK-TREASURER’S REPORT: Kris King
May Financial reports presented to Council.
The military flags on the boulevard are going to be in need of replacement soon. Vera Donat has been helping extend their lives by mending them but some have reached the end of their useful live. The Village can purchase them through the American Legion at a cost of $ 197.25 plus shipping.
The 2012-2013 audit starting date has been postponed until July 7th at the request of Charles E Harris and Associates. They have given us a list of 41 sets of items to start gathering thus far.
Joyce Cunningham and I have begun the codification process. This is turning out to be a time consuming project of copying and indexing. VA Pauley has agreed to allow Tammy Fox to have extra hours to help us get this completed. We have a list of ordinances from 1910-1943 to copy. We have to create indexes for 1944-2003. We have indexes for 2004 forward. Once American Legal reviews the indexes, they will inform us of which ordinances for which they need copies.
I will be at finance training from June 11-13 and prevailing wage training on June 20 if I am not subpoenaed for the Walker case.
Sweetwater Pump Station project bills have starting coming in again. I will be working on getting reimbursements on eligible expenses. These bills are for construction management services, resident project representative services, and O&M manual. These expenses are estimated to be nearly $ 150,000 and will be part of our loan.
