BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
MEETING MINUTES
MONDAY, MAY 11, 2026 – 5:30 PM
The Board of Public Works met in City Hall on May 11, 2026 at 5:30 pm. Attending were Mayor
Jason Hiess, Vice-President Tom Hubbard, Director of Public Works Brandon Cesafsky,
Alderman Tim Normand, and Mike Tzanakis. Also attending was Alderman Dan Dixon and
Teri Ouimette.
1. Motion by Normand, seconded by Hubbard to approve the minutes of the April 27, 2026
Board of Public Works meeting. All present voting aye. MOTION CARRIED.
2. Cesafsky provided the background on the request to amend the ordinance for the City
owned parking lot on the north side of Spring Street, between Bay and Bridge Streets.
The request came from Teri Ouimette at Main Street after hearing local businesses were
having a hard time with the 2 hour parking with longer appointments at the hair salon and
tattoo shop. The ordinance drafted by Engineering follows the request from business
owners and would change the lot to a 4 hour parking lot.
Motion by Hiess, seconded by Hubbard to recommend Common Council approve an
ordinance changing the parking lot on the north side of Spring Street, between Bay and
Bridge Streets, to a 4 hour lot. All present voting aye. MOTION CARRIED.
3. Cesafsky provided the background on the ordinance to change parking restrictions in
front of the Market on River building along River Street. Cesafsky explained that the
Market on River recently completed a large concrete sidewalk project which eliminated a
driveway and also provided a large bump out which now gives Island Street drivers better
vision of River Street Traffic. The no parking would go from a 136 foot distance down to
a 73 foot distance from the west corner of the building.
Motion by Normand, seconded by Hubbard to recommend Common Council approve the
ordinance changing the no parking area in front of Market on River from 136 feet from
the east side of the Island Street right-of-way to 73 feet from the east side of the Island
Street right-of-way. All present voting aye. MOTION CARRIED.
4. Cesafsky provided an update for the South Avenue Local Roads Improvement Program
(LRIP) funding that City Engineer Bill McElroy applied for and was awarded. He stated
that this project would be completed in 2027. Mayor Hiess stated this is a great project
and he is excited that Engineering secured the funding.
No Action Taken
5. Adjournment
Motion by Normand, seconded by Hubbard to adjourn. All present voting aye.
MOTION CARRIED. The Board of Public Works meeting adjourned at 5:48 pm.

We are currently monitoring our molybdenum levels at the plant. We have taken test from every

than we have seen for 8 months. Some major changes that we have made that could result in
this are no longer taking septage haulers and no longer taking leachate. We hope to be accepting
the septage haulers back into the plan and have a quality verification process which will be
implemented.

We have a system in place but due to the lack of staffing/vacancies and the age of our plant the
system does not receive the attention that it needs. This is often because of plant equipment
failures or collection system failures that need immediate attention and pull staff away from
routine maintenance tasks.
