MUNICIPAL DEPARTMENT REPORTS:
FIRE DEPARTMENT:Chief Chris Colucy (excused)
  1. The Mayor asked for any questions Council wished to pass on to the Chief.  There were none.
 
POLICE DEPARTMENT:  Chief Nathan Taylor
  1. The Chief met with Supt. Bidlack concerning emergency safety plans.  Chief Taylor wants to improve our standards and also met with business owners.
  2. The department had four cars per shift on Friday due to Tik-Tok threats to schools across the nation.
 
VILLAGE SOLICITOR: John Anthony
  1. Sale of property review from last meeting:
  • Short lease with an option to purchase and requirement to build a structure and be in operation.  Longer lease possible.  The downside is that it may exclude many otherwise eligible and viable investors/proprietors.
  • Keep the property for future development.
  • Sell the property to recover the cost of the property previously paid.  Highest bidder.
  1. Bloom Township Litigation (Jefferson Health Plan):
  • Stark County is stayed pending determination by the Receivership pending in the Franklin County Court case.  Attorney LaFayette relates several favorable rulings by the court and determinations made by the Receiver; there is no liability with any matters involving Benovation; there was a finding that the Sunshine Law had been violated by OPEC-HC; Frank Harmon and OIS claims have been denied.  As a result, the deficit number is lowering and Atty. LaFayette says the percentage assessed to be reduced or least he can make a good argument that it should be.  The audit continues and the Receiver is focusing on the Jefferson Health argument claim which is the big claim.  Atty. LaFayette is leaving the firm and going to another firm and he wants to bring this case with him which makes sense. So he is our Counsel and I signed off on him taking this case with him this past week.  He is working on a written summary of the status of the case so we will be looking to receive that soon.
  1. Opioid Settlement:
  • Johnson and Johnson litigation is in addition to the Perdue Pharma Bankruptcy settlement and One Ohio Settlement relating to the Multi-State litigation which the Village participated in last spring and early summer.  The One Ohio involved the Big Three Defendants, Cardinal Health, McKesson, and AmerisourceBergen.  I have applied for a registration number in order to be a part of that suit.  There should be money coming although not certain.  But there is strength in numbers so Brewster should join in if possible.  With Council’s authorization this evening He could go ahead and participate in the settlement process.  Atty. Anthony provided information from the OML.  The participation agreement is to be in by January 2nd.  With Council’s permission, he will get the process started tomorrow.
 
COMMUNICATIONS: 
  1. Children’s Christmas party with Santa at Friends Church December 20th 6:30-7:30pm.
  2. Finance Committee meeting: January 18th – 6:15pm – Police, Fire, and Street Budgets review
  3. Finance Committee meeting: February 7th – 6:15pm – Water, Sewer, and Electric Budgets review
 
VILLAGE ADMINISTRATOR: Mike Miller
COUNCIL MEMBER LONG MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER RADICH and motion carried to accept the report as written and emailed to Council and to enter it into the record of tonight’s Council meeting.  The vote: All yes.
 
VA Miller either added or emphasized the following:
  • The lowest and best bid is being reviewed for Brewster Parke Water Line and Hydrant Project.
  • AMP Power purchase – There is 100MW solar available for $22.64MW that VA Miller is investigating
  • WE Quicksall is preparing a layout for the Village on the northern most portion of the old Sturm’s property across the alley from the new Fire Station Addition.
  • Council Member Schwab asked what the downside of purchasing more solar power.  VA Miller stated that it is all theory to diversify your power sources.  In 2025, there will be a remainder gap that could be partially filled with this solar power purchase.  Clerk King asked where the Solar Power Plant was located and VA Miller stated VanWert.
 
Administrator’s report for period 12/7/2021 thru 12/20/2021:
 
ØOhio Builds Water Infrastructure Grant (Ohio Water & Wastewater Grant Program) The Ohio Builds Water Infrastructure Grant is how the state is dispersing American Rescue Plan Funding. It also goes by (went by) the Ohio Water & Wastewater Grant Program. By either name it is a separate source of ARPA funds from the State of Ohio, administered through ODOD. The process was that political subdivisions had to submit projects to their County.  Brewster submitted the Tuscarawas/Locustdale/Pinewood Water Line Replacement Project and the Brewster Parke Water Line Extension and Hydrant Project. The Stark County Engineer was then to create/submit a list (prioritized) to ODOD of eligible projects from Stark County political subdivisions. The Stark County Engineer had to turn the prioritized list in (deadline) by August 20, 2021. Brewster’s application for the Brewster Parke Water Line Extension & Hydrant Project was the first turned in in Stark County but was not on the list of ten (10) prioritized projects submitted. The Tuscarawas/Locustdale/Pinewood Water Line Replacement Project was on that list. We have been waiting to see what happens next in the process.
 
Canton got funded for a water line extension project into Canton Township in Round 1. It was the only political subdivision to receive a grant in that round from Stark County. No political subdivision from Stark County got funded in Round 2. Massillon got funded in Round 3 for a sanitary sewer project. Again, they were the only political subdivision from Stark County to receive a grant in that round.
 
According to the most recent OML Legislative Bulletin (December 10, 2021), the status of the Ohio BUILDS water infrastructure grant program is that it is DONE. Specifically, it states:
 
This week, Gov. DeWine and Lt. Gov. Husted announced the allocation of more than $109 million for critical water projects in all 88 counties. This is the third and final round of grants awarded through the new Ohio BUILDS water infrastructure grant program. This funding will support 101 drinking water and wastewater infrastructure projects impacting 106 communities. The Ohio BUILDS has now allocated roughly $250 million in total grant funding for 183 critical water infrastructure projects across Ohio …
 
One of the things that held back our application (at County level initially and now at the State level) is the number of people served.
 
In the meantime, the Brewster Parke Water Line Extension and Hydrant Project is proceeding with Brewster’s direct allocation of American Rescue Plan Funds – bids open December 15th. The Tuscarawas/Locustdale/Pinewood Water Line Replacement Project was also submitted for OPWC Funding, and as I have informed Council it is the top ranked project from Stark County (District 19) to the OPWC Small Government Program. That is where Brewster received funding for the 7th Street Project and the East Main Project in recent years.
 
  • Brewster Parke Water Line Extension and Hydrant Project.  The Brewster Parke Water Line Extension and Hydrant Project bid opening was December 15th at 2:00 pm. Eleven (11) sets of plans were issued. We received four (4) bids. The four (4) bids were/are:
 

Company

Ohio Erie Excavating (Bolivar)

$52,132.00

Palmer & Sons (Wooster)

$63,610.00

Spano Brothers Construction (Akron)

$72,519.00

RBS General Contracting (Massillon)

$46,144.08

 

 

ENGINEER’S ESTIMATE

$57,628.00

 
RBS General Contracting of Massillon, Ohio is the apparent lowest and best bidder. The bids are being reviewed by W.E. Quicksall. This project is to be funded with a portion of Brewster’s American Rescue Plan Funds. The Village has:
 
  • received its Plan Approval Letter from the Ohio EPA for the Brewster Parke Waterline Extension.
  • has had the required easements donated at no cost by Brewster Parke.
  • has accepted and recorded the required easements.
 
Legislation has been prepared to award a contract to the lowest and best bidder - RBS General Contracting of Massillon, Ohio.
 
  • Water Department & EPA Recommendations - Hydraulic Model of the Distribution System. CT Consultants continues field work necessary to construct a Hydraulic Water Model for the Village. They have taken water pressure measurements. It is virtually complete, and our next step is to meet with CT Consultants to review the model, and inquire what the model shows, especially as far as sequencing future projects. We hope to have that meeting in the next few weeks.
 
  • 2022 Paving. Based on our new PCR assessment, the streets I am recommending should be included in the 2022 Paving Program are below and bolded. Those that are on the list but are not bolded have reasons for omission in 2022 listed. Superior Street NE is the alternate if prices come in good/low.

The amount is based on setting aside a match for the Park Drive Phase 1 Project. That is because the Village is in the running to receive OPWC Funding for Park Drive Phase 1 based on the results of the OPWC meeting. Therefore, our base budget is $100,000.
 
There is more work to be done determining what additional work needs to be done on McKinley between 4th and 5th. We are moving forward having it rebuilt, so that will affect the estimate, and will ultimately be subject to the bid(s) received. 
 
In order to be able to bid the 2022 Paving Program as soon as possible to get better prices, I am requesting it be passed on second reading as an emergency.
 
  • Electric Substation – SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System). We continue to make progress and work continues by GPD and the Electric Department on the SCADA system at our substation. It is nearly complete. I will keep Council informed as to the progress on the project.
  • Electric Department – Transfer Bus. The Electric Department continues to work on the transfer bus at the Substation. It is approximately 90% complete. The transfer bus is used to divert power from a feeder line that has a breaker issue. If a breaker has an issue, power can be put on the transfer bus and restored (fed) to the distribution feeder that has the breaker issue.
  • Electric Department – New 7th Street Line. Waiting on transfer bus to be completed.
  • Decorative Street Lighting – Wabash north of Underpass. Conduit installation is complete. Waiting on connectors and boxes to get started.
  • Electric Department Garage. Work continues on the plans for the proposed new Electric Garage. We are still moving forward on a new 7 bay Electric Garage and office. Some minor changes to the preliminary plans were made at a meeting held with EA Associates on November 5th.
 
To confirm that the location picked for the building will not impede a future ring bus in front of the substation,we continue to work withboth GPD and AMPT. At our meeting and subsequent discussions with AMPT about the location of the Electric Building and the second feed and associated ring bus, we discovered that the second feed into our substation would make the proposed location for the Electric Building not workable. We are still working on the plan to move the Electric Building north into the trees and flipping it to face south. Only other change for sure would be eliminate the one garage door facing out the back to the south (now north). The proposed building is 59.5 feet by 130 feet, so with the proposed lay out, we estimate we would need roughly 80 feet north from existing lease line by 180 feet to allow some buffering on the back and sides from the trees, so roughly a third of an acre. I reached out to Brewster Cheese, and they have consented to the new location on a leased basis for 50 years at $1. This is our best option, and a survey of the required property for a lease is being prepared.
 
  • Electric Department – Second Transmission Feed. A lot of progress has been made regarding the second feed into the Brewster Substation to be constructed by AMP Transmission. After a second on site meeting, some plan revisions, GPD brought in a crane/equipment handling company to determine the viability and identity potential means and methods to remove each of the existing three 69/12kV power transformers after installation of the proposed 4-breaker ring-bus in the proposed location. After that review, we (Village and GPD) are satisfied that the proposed ring bus would not create any obstacles that would prevent transformer removal with the existing 21’ high 69kV north-south tie bus intact and with the proposed ring bus breaker locations as long as the minimum bus height is 21’ above the driveway access areas. So, we are moving forward.
 
  • Street Department Garage. We continue to take steps to be able to use the northern most three (3) bays for equipment that must be kept above freezing (heated). Ceiling insulation has now been installed. We have also awarded a contract to Wood Electric for $5,770 to install a separate electric service so that those northern most three (3) bays can not only be heated but are completely separated from the southern three (3) that are planned to be used by the Police Department in the future. After a new service is installed, we can install an electric heater(s) from the Fire Department remodeling/expansion to keep equipment in those bays from freezing. These steps are being taken now so we can move the brine maker over to the northern bays without the potential for it to freeze. We still can use it in the tank for pre-treatment of streets.
 
  • Storm Drainage Projects. The current list of storm sewer projects in their priority order, with updates on their status:
 
  1. Cleveland Ave south of Main on east side – failed catch basin. COMPLETED except for asphalt patching.
  2. Catch basin on Tuscarawas to address sump pump. COMPLETED except for asphalt patching.
  1. East Main Street Drainage. Project has begun and will continue after leaf pick-up.
  2. East end of 1st Street SE. Will be scheduled when area dries out and we can coordinate with US Army Corps of Engineers.
  3. Dartmouth/Amherst relief line. First step - survey being completed
  4. Open ditch east of Mohican.
  5. Drainage from Harmon west of 264 Harmon. First step - survey needs to be completed
  6. Drainage on north side of 7th west of Baymere.
 
These are not necessarily on a first come/first serve basis but based on their criticality and/or ability to fit into the schedule. We are also looking to repair deteriorated catch basins, so if any Council person is aware of any, please let me know. Also, if there are any storm drainage projects/issues not on this list please let me know.
 
  • Leaf Pick-Up. Leaf pick-up has concluded. Pick-up the week of December 13th was slow, and it appears that the vast majority of leaves have been raked out.
  • Sanitary Sewer Main Relining Project. Wastewater Superintendent Dan Klein has been attempting to coordinate our contractor to clean and CCTV the sanitary sewer from where the Jefferson Ave Project terminated at a new manhole just north of 5th Street SE northwest to 4th Street SE. With the onset of cold weather, rather than risk scheduling and freezing attempting to bypass to CCTV, we are awaiting better weather in the Spring. Once we get the sanitary sewer CCTVed, we can explore options to fund the project.
  • Brewster Council Chambers COVID Compliance Remodeling Project (aka Community Room). Demolition/construction has begun.
  • Electric Power Purchase - 1 or 2 MW Off-peak Block of Power for 2025-2028. On August 16th Council passed an ordinance to buy a 1 or 2 MW off-peak block of power for 2025-2028 to hedge our bets, IF NEEDED in the future, due to market changes. We are still attempting to move forward as the cost of a 1 MW block or a 2 MW off-peak block for 2025-2028 continues to rise. I will keep Council Informed.
  • Efficiency Smart - LED Incentives Available for Small Businesses For a limited time, Efficiency Smart is offering small businesses an increased incentive for purchasing qualifying LED products from a designated local business. Pre-approval is required. Standard incentives still apply for all other qualifying purchases. Those interested can contact Efficiency Smart’s customer support team at (877) 889-3777 or info@efficiencysmart.org for a list of designated local suppliers and contractors or for more information.
  • Efficiency Smart - 2021 Retail Lighting. A participation agreement is in place with Belloni’s for reduced cost LED light bulbs. The inventory has been delivered.
  • Efficiency Smart – Rebates. Efficiency Smart’s Home Energy Rebates program provides money back on qualifying products that can help you save energy and money. Residents can save even more with increased rebates on the following products:
  • Smart Thermostats: Now $100
  • Heat Pump Water Heaters: Now $300
  • Dehumidifiers: Now $30
 
The increased rebate amounts are valid through the end of the year. To see a list of qualifying models or all available rebates, visit the Home Energy Rebates page or call Efficiency Smart at 877-889-3777.
 
  • Sale of Surplus Property. Following up on the recent sale of two (2) Police Department vehicles on the internet, we have a vehicle and two (2) other pieces of Street Department surplus property previously acquired for the use by Village Departments which are not needed for public use any longer or are obsolete or unfit for the use for it was acquired that we would like to sell via internet sale process.
  • Cap for the former Water Department pick-up truck (formerly the Fire Department pick-up) which is no longer needed as it has been “replaced” by a rack and open bed during its “tour of duty” with the Street Department.
  • The 2001 International in the Street Department replaced in 2018 for use as a brine truck. It has engine issues which are far too expensive to fix than the vehicle is worth – estimated more than $6,000.
 
I would like Council’s authorization by motion to sell both.
 
  • Sale and/or Lease of “Sturm” Lot. As I indicated at the last Council Meeting, I have initiated the process to create a plan/sketch of a proposed parking lot that would serve, Village Hall, the Fire Department, and the Legion as well as the general public next to the widened alley for the Fire Department. That is needed to serve as a base point to solicit quotes to survey and split the proposed parcel that Council is deliberating selling and/or leasing. That initial sketch has been done, and I am continuing with the next steps to allow a specification to be done to sell and/or lease the requested parcel.
