requests and not just building requests. They also recognize how much work departments have to do in order to
pare down their capital requests. There will be at least one more year for improvements to the High School
Auditorium. This year’s improvements include lighting.

Department of Public Works
Intersection Modifications at Wash. & Chapman Streets 50,000 5-0-0
GRAND TOTAL $750,000
Discussion regarding $50,000 Intersection Modifications at Washington Street and Chapman Street
The Superintendent of Public Works and the Town Administrator attended a CPC meeting to present this safety
request. The Town received a letter of support from B’nai Tikvah Synagogue. This project will add 250 feet of
sidewalk on the Synagogue side of Washington Street and to add a crosswalk across Washington Street. This
would also add a change to the signaling to a full/all-red stop at that intersection of pedestrians crossing. The goal
is not to do the whole intersection for thousands of dollars. Residents also attended the CPC meeting to support
this request. CPC requested enhanced signage. There is no definitive answer if the modifications would include
chirping. The chirping could add significant cost to the project. Mr. Panico read a letter from the consultant with
the following information about the project: “The modification would provide for the addition of a pedestrian
crossing for Washington Street and revisions to the existing traffic signal operation to provide an exclusive
pedestrian phase, the installation of an additional signal post and two additional pedestrian signal heads, two
additional pedestrian push buttons and the installation of 250 feet of sidewalk along the eastern side of
Washington Street.” The Rabbi and a member of B’nai Tikvah were in attendance at the meeting and voiced their
support for this request.
Article 12 Motion 4 – Mr. Emhardt stated that the $100,000 request for safety and security equipment/transport
(on-board cameras for a bus) had not been brought to the CPC for consideration, therefore, they did not have a
position on Motion 4. This project will be funded through a transfer from free cash.
Article 12 Motion 5 – Mr. Emhardt stated that the $191,000 debt capital request for purchasing a bucket truck was
supported by CPC 4-0-0. This request was being made because of a safety inspection issue. The bucket could no
longer be certified and was unsafe. The present bucket truck would have the bucket removed and the vehicle
would be repurposed and remain in service.
Article 12 Motion 6 – The $430,000 debt capital request for replacement of Ambulance 1 would have to be
purchased through borrowing and paid for from ambulance receipts reserved for appropriation. The preference
was to pay cash out of the ambulance fund but there would not be enough cash in the ambulance fund by ATM.
CPC supported this request 4-0-0.
Article 12 Motion 7 – The $1,000,000 debt request is for home side bleachers and a press box. This replacement
project will address safety concerns as well as ADA accessibility/lift equipment to the press box. There will be
ramps at both sides of the bleachers. If the Town were to receive funds for the disposal of the existing bleachers,
Mr. Scollins stated that it would be a miscellaneous receipt. The CPC did not inquire about the disposal of the
scrap metal. Vice Chair Thomas thought that the bid would most likely include demolition and disposal. CPC voted
4-0-0 to support this request.
Article 12 Motion 8 – This debt capital request for $181,000 is to replace a rooftop HVAC Unit #8 at the High
School was supported 4-0-0 by the CPC.
Article 12 Motion 9 – This debt capital request for $5,900,000 is to replace water mains on Elm Street and
Greenlodge Street. CPC supported this request 4-0-0. There was a new high-pressure main installed recently
under Rt. 128 to the area that is on the north side of Rt. 128. That main could not be tapped into for homes on
Elm Street because the pressure was too high. This project will loop two water mains (one on Elm and one on
Greenlodge) together. The design work for this project has already been funded and completed. This $5.9 million
request will be for the project cost only. Because the debt for this project will be paid for out of water revenues
there will be an adjustment to the Town’s water rates.
Article 12 Motion 10 – This is another debt capital project that will be paid for out of water revenues. This
$2,412,000 project was supported by CPC but was a 4-1-0 vote. This request is to build a separate building at the
Moran Water Treatment Plant on Pecunit Street to add charcoal filtering for water. Charcoal filtering helps to
FINCOM 201200305 Minutes WW, RS Page 3 of 8 3/7/2020Source page 4
filter out PFAS (human-made chemicals) in water. The Neponset Street Water Treatment Plant currently has charcoal filtering. The readings from the Pecunit Street plant were 12 ppt (parts per trillion) and 15 ppt. The federal maximum is 70 ppt and the state is 20 ppt. This project will help to standardize treatment across the board and to address any issues in the future. The dissenting vote on this request is because of the high cost for the project for something that does not need to be done or is unnecessary. Also, it is unknown if there might be funding sources or grants for implementation of this testing in the future. Mr. Chu explained that given Canton’s recent readings were well below the federal threshold and below the state levels as well this request did not seem to be a pressing concern for this fiscal year. He also stated there were recent announcements from the state about programs and funding for communities with PFAS projects. The dissenting position was to continue to monitor the PFAS levels. If measurements trend closer to the state or federal levels then the Town may be able to consider some of the state programs to fund some of this. Currently, there is not enough historical data for Canton’s PFAS levels. The CPC is cognizant of the Select Board’s and the Superintendent of Public Works concerns for this testing but there are many unknowns at this time. The impact of the two water projects combined could be 11% (7.9% for the $5,900,000 project and 3.1% for the $2,412,000 project). Mr. Scollins stated the Town is waiting for information from MWRA as to what the MWRA rates may be for next year. If there is a reduction in MWRA usage as has been trending there could be a reduction of 7.1% reduction in the cost of our MWRA water rates. These two projects will impact water rates starting in Fiscal 2022. Article 12 Motion 11 – This request is for three items totaling $65,700 ($43,000 to replace 2006 Ford Pickup Truck #7, $13,500 to replace 2007 Ford Sedan #12 and $9,200 to purchase an enclosed cargo trailer) to be paid from water enterprise surplus (retained earnings). The cost to replace the 2007 Ford Sedan #12 is being split between water ($13,500) and sewer ($13,500). CPC supported this motion 4-0-0. CPC’s original vote was for $27,000 under water. Mr. Emhardt stated they may have to revisit their vote. Ms. Scollins confirmed that the water enterprise surplus (retained earnings) is separate and is not part of the calculations of the Town’s 15% cash reserves. Article 12 – New Motion – Skate Sharpener – The CPC voted 4-0-0 to support the $17,000 request for a skate sharpener to be paid out of rink enterprise surplus (retained earnings). Article 31 – Traffic Signal and Improvements to the Intersection of Pleasant Street and Angela Street Mr. Emhardt provided information regarding this request. The CPC was presented with a $750,000 request to be paid from free cash for improvements to the intersection of Pleasant Street and Angela Street. This request came from the BOS and the DPW Superintendent. Mr. Emhardt stated that many residents would agree that this intersection is one of the most dangerous intersections in Canton. Typically projects like this are a 3-year process including a traffic study, a grant application and an appropriation of funds for the design work and an appropriation of funds for construction of the project. The $750,000 being requested for this project includes both the design work and the construction work as well as a 20% contingency. Various committee, board and employees involved in this project are in agreement that a study is unnecessary for this project. Mr. Panico stated that there was an in-house study and evaluation already done by the Town Engineer. The CPC supported this project 5-0-0. Mr. Hines, a resident of the Town, stated that this project was first addressed back in 2008 when a child was almost killed at this intersection. He is in support of this project being fast tracked. Mr. Hines shared with the members of the Finance Committee video on his cell phone of the traffic in this dangerous intersection. Mr. Mauro stated that at the CPC meeting that he attended Mr. Aspinwall commented that if the timing for a grant for this project were to become available it would be great, but if not the BOS still wanted to move forward with this project, grant or no grant. Mr. Hines preferred that the project not be paid out of free cash but at this point he had no preference as to how it would be funded as long as it would save lives. Vote – Article 12 - Motion 1 – Authorization for Finance Director and Building Renovations Committee A motion made by Mr. Mauro to recommend to Annual Town Meeting the motion for Article 12 Motion 1 as written in the warrant was seconded by Mr. Clough.

Vote: 6-0-0. Vote – Article 12 – Motion 4 – $100,000 – School Safety and Security Equipment/Transport The Capital Planning Committee had not voted Motion 4 because they were unaware of this motion until the Finance Committee meeting. The source of funds for the $100,000 school safety and security equipment request will be free cash. The Finance Committee placed a hold on voting Article 12 Motion 4 until they receive more clarification on the request. Vote – Article 12 – Motion 5 - $191,000 – Bucket Truck for DPW A motion made by Mr. Mauro to recommend to Annual Town Meeting the motion for Article 12 Motion 5 as written in the warrant ($191,000 for purchasing a bucket truck for the Department of Public Works) was seconded by Mr. Wong.

Vote: 6-0-0. Vote – Article 12 – Motion 9 - $5,900,000 – Water Main Replacement Elm Street & Washington Street A motion made by Mr. Mauro to recommend to Annual Town Meeting the motion for Article 12 Motion 9 as written in the warrant ($5,900,000 for replacing water mains on Elm Street and Washington Street with borrowing to be paid from water revenues) was seconded by Mr. Clough. Vote: 6-0-0. Vote – Article 12 – Motion 10 - $2,412,000 – Carbon Filtering Facility A motion made by Mr. Mauro to recommend to Annual Town Meeting the motion for Article 12 Motion 10 as written in the warrant ($2,412,000 for designing and constructing a granular activated carbon (GAC) facility with borrowing to be paid from water revenues) was seconded by Mr. Cough.

Vote: 6-0-0. FINCOM 201200305 Minutes WW, RS Page 5 of 8 3/7/2020

Vote – Article 12 – Motion 12 - $13,500 – Replace 2007 Ford Sedan #12
A motion made by Mr. Mauro to recommend to Annual Town Meeting the motion for Article 12 Motion 12 as
written in the warrant ($13,500 to replace 2007 Ford Sedan #12 to be paid from sewer enterprise surplus
retained earnings) was seconded by Mr. Clough. Vote: 6-0-0.
Article 12 – New Motion 13 - $17,000 – Skate Sharpening Equipment
This motion was inadvertently omitted from Article 12. The Capital Planning Committee and the Finance
Committee would wait for the final language before voting $17,000 for skate sharpening equipment to be paid
from the rink enterprise surplus (retained earnings).
D. Old Business
Vote - Article 15 – Insurance Proceeds – At the time the Finance Committee meeting took place there were no
insurance proceeds greater than $150,000 that need to be appropriated at Town Meeting.
A motion made by Mr. Mauro that the subject matter of Article 15 be indefinitely postponed was seconded by
Mr. Wong. Vote: 6-0-0.
Mr. Scollins stated that the Town is expecting $965,000 of hold back proceeds related to the rink collapse. He is
hoping that these proceeds come in prior to Annual Town Meeting. If the proceeds come in before ATM the
Finance Committee can revote Article 15 at their meeting prior to ATM.
Vote – Article 16 – Rescind Unused Borrowing Authorizations - $1,380,500
A motion made by Mr. Mauro that Article 16 be recommended to ATM as written in the warrant was seconded
by Mr. Clough. Vote: 6-0-0.
Mr. Scollins stated that some of the borrowing being rescinded had to do with projects that came in under budget
but the majority of the unused borrowing authorizations to be rescinded as listed below are because the Town
received bond premiums allowing the Town to reduce the amount that the Town had to borrow. The $996,000
authorized debt to be rescinded for the Hansen School Roof Repairs is because the MSBA (Massachusetts School
Building Authority) requires the Town to authorize borrowing for 100% of the project cost regardless of the
funding sources. With regard to the Reservoir Pond Dam Repairs Supplement, the original bond authorization in
2017 was thought to be insufficient to complete the project so ATM 2018 authorized $300,000 of supplemental
funding. It was then later determined that the $300,000 was not needed for the project and could be rescinded.

Vote – Article 17 – Increase Stabilization Fund - $0
The Finance Committee had been informed that there was no recommendation being made to appropriate any
funds at this year’s ATM for the Town’s Stabilization Fund and that the Committee could vote to postpone
indefinitely. However, the Committee questioned the use of the word “any” in the language of the original
warrant Article 17 as follows, “vote to raise and appropriate or transfer from any available funds or borrow
pursuant to any applicable statute, in order to increase any Stabilization Fund of the Town”. Mr. Scollins would
seek further clarification for Article 17.
Vote – Article 19 – Supplement Chapter 90 Programs - $0 – Mr. Mauro inquired if the decision not to supplement
Chapter 90 Programs at this year’s ATM would have any effect on current road projects or any other highway
projects that Mr. Trotta, DPW Superintendent, is currently working on. Mr. Scollins commented that the state is
considering an additional transportation bond bill that could potentially increase Ch. 90 funding to cities and towns
in the future.
A motion made by Mr. Mauro that the subject matter of Article 19 be indefinitely postponed was seconded by
Mr. Clough. Vote: 6-0-0.
Vote – Article 23 – Proceeds from the TNC Ride Assessment Funds - $9,408.90
A motion made by Mr. Mauro to recommend to Annual Town Meeting that $9,408.90 be appropriated to
supplement the Complete Streets Grant Program (Fund #113) with the intent to support a workforce shuttle in
the Royal Street area and to be available in FY21 and to meet this appropriation $9,408.90 be transferred from
TNC Funds received in FY19 on deposit in a reserved receipts account was seconded by Mr. Clough. Vote: 6-0-0.
