Present: Karen Sehon, Marcey Carmouche, Brandon Monceaux, Calvin Sanders, Sr., Matthew Kidder, Michael Stewart, Billy Dan Morgan (Morgan’s Construction), Pam and Larry Fromenthal (Fromental Plumbing), Howard Castay (Daily Review), and Glen Duncan (Providence Engineering). Mr. Stewart ask-ed if anyone had a public comment. No comment. The board went over the minutes of the previous month’s meeting. Mr. Cooper moved to disburse the reading of the minutes and accept. Mr. Kidder seconded the motion. All in favor – I. The board then went over the treasurer’s report. Mr. Monceaux motion-ed to approve the treasurer’s report and sign checks if all are in order. Mr. Kyle seconded the motion. All in favor – I. Mrs. Duncan with Providence Engineering re- ported the last items to wrap up Station 9 rehabilitation. They are checking with Canada to get more information on the aerator. It still has not been named. The loan time is ending. They will be working on a price. The aerators were turned off at the pond on November 12th. The company mentioned Mr. Sanders doing a fantastic job cleaning the unit weekly. Mr. Sanders re- ported on the monthly maintenance. The toxicity test will be completed in the next few days. The DMR reports are up to date. On November 21, he was set up to be able to submit in a timely manner. Mr. Sanders will be teaching Mr. Olivier once he becomes more familiar with the process. Station 6, the walking trail, Mr. Lopez (Town of Berwick) sent over pump information. Mr. Sanders has a new pump installed. The 2nd pump does not need to be replaced at this time. He picked up the pumps from Quality Diesel and brought them to Power Specialties to be worked on. After repairs are completed, there will be 11 pumps available at the plant. There needs to be a maintenance plan to service the generators on a regular basis. Mr. Sanders will establish a regular maintenance schedule. He will get a company to come annually (springtime) to do maintenance and service the generators and pumps. Mr. Sanders and Mr. Kidder are in the process of installing the Starlink equipment. Mr. Sanders’ computer is up and running without issues. He has the laptop from Mrs. Sehon to be set up for use at the plant. Mr. Kidder will need to log into Starlink once the equipment is installed to establish service. Mr. Stewart mentioned Mr. Carmouche last day was November 30. Mr. Sanders is the new supervisor. Mr. Stewart mentioned a raise for Mr. Sanders to go along with the promotion to supervisor. He suggested $5/hr. Then a following raise in 2027. Mr. Cooper asked the pay scale at other districts range. Mr. Stewart will check with Patterson. Mr. Monceaux will check with Berwick. Mr. Monceaux suggested a table until January meeting after gathering the extra information. The board needs more information on pay rates. Mr. Stewart was tabled until January meeting. Old/New business – Mr. Stewart asked Mr. Monceaux to work with Mrs. Sehon on getting a budget set up. Mr. Monceaux shared a snapshot of the year showing a deficit of $665,000. The re- pair fees include station rehabilitation in Berwick. The repair with proper maintenance could be reduced. Mr. Morgan will get us a list of the stations needing roof re- pair/replacement. The new billing rate just went into effect. This will increase income approximately $30,000 monthly. That will help with the deficit. All entities are now aware of the situations making it more transparent. Mr. Fromenthal mentioned stations need different repairs due to the setup. There are many variables to be done to get an estimate of cost. Mrs. Sehon asked Mr. Fromenthal for approximation per station. This way the members would have an idea on what to expect for cost. The members are aware there are always adjustments to repairs, especially with the age of the equipment. The members want an idea to have knowledge of the cost of re- pairs/replacement. Mr. Fromenthal can give an idea of the cost. He stressed about the variables. Mr. Fromenthal will work with Mr. Sanders on price estimates. This is to keep the entities updated on repairs etc. Mr. Stewart mentioned that Mr. Carmouche is now retired. The board would like to thank him for the years of work. He asked if all company property has been turned into Mr. Sanders. He has an external drive to get to Mr. Sanders of the documents etc. from his personal computer. He will double-check with Mr. Sanders about information. Next meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 5, 2025. Having no further business, Mr. Monceaux has motioned to adjourn the meeting. Mr. Cooper seconded the motion. ——————— Chairperson ——————— Secretary/ Treasurer Adv. Jan. 9, 2026
