Our focus remains on:
© Providing a building that is inviting, providing a sense of welcome at the entrance.
«It must have a community orientation with residents feeling comfortable using the
services at the facility.
The vision remaining proactive, not reactive.
Compliance with all environmental permit requirements
Compliance with all Building and Fire Code requirements ensuing a safe building
‘Components of a well-managed facilities program encompasses:
“Preventative Maintenance Schedules “Live Safety Systems
“Repair Protocols *Security Systems
“Space needs programming “ADA (Barrier Free Buildings)
“Energy Audits “Environmental Permit Compliance
“Facility Inspections “Indoor Air Quality
“Alarm Testing *Building Code Compliance
“Custodial Methods “Capital Projects (New & Renovations)
Work on this budget started in July and involved hours of staff time at all levels assembling
information and seeking pricing for the upcoming year. The basic philosophy in preparing the
budget was:
© Adequately fund the maintenance and utility accounts. Take care of what we already
have
Propose equipment replacement before the end of service life
Do not take on new services or projects without a discussion on the impact, and cost.
The following facilities encompassing approximately 240,000 sf that is assigned to this
budget:
Town Hall
Library
Public Safety
‘Community Center
Youth & Family Services
ec 0000

with environmental permits, perform life safety inspections (sprinklers and fire alarms), and
manage intrusion alarms and contract for full time custodial services at the Town Hall, Public
Safety, Community Center, Youth and Family Services, Police and the municipal complex. Part
time custodial services are provided to the Library. Funding for new construction, major
replacements of equipment or renovations to the existing space are found in the Capital
Improvement Program.
The Department is able to provide a 4-year look back for this budget, but the data for FY21
should be discounted. Facilities expenses may have been combined with other expenses in
each department's budget previous requests for FY21. Any attempt to separate out these costs
would be labor intensive and questionable to its accuracy. We will continue to build a database
ensuring proper accounting in each area.
New:
Oswegatchie Fire House is now a town building. The budget includes costs to maintain the
‘current structure until the new fire station has been completed. Added costs are for generator
maintenance, Fire Code inspections, HVAC and rodent control.
Working with the IT Department on a project to upgrade the data rooms in various town
buildings. Work that is the Building Maintenance’s portion is electrical, dehumidification and
minor work to the door, walls and ventilation.
The proposed budget requests the position of Facility Manager be authorized. In order for this
Department to be proactive and not reactive with compliance with permit requirements and
Building & Fire Code requirements requires a full ime position. | have placed this position in my
request, but funded for just three quarters of the year, realizing that recruitment and on-boarding
is expected to consume 3 months,
General Overview:
Staffing:
Facilities is managed through the Public Works Department under the leadership of the Director
of Public Works. Office staff provide assistance with reporting, accounts payable and
generation of work orders. A mix of Public Works Operations personnel, Board of Education
skilled trades and contractors work to complete the work orders.
A Facility Manager will take some of the burden off the Public Works staff who work on facilities
issues.

© Water: There are 33 accounts that we manage. We have budgeted a 14% increase in
the cost of water. The current cost of $3.33 per 100CF would go up to approximately
$3.80 per 100CF in July of 2026.
© Sewer: There are 20 accounts that we manage. We have not budgeted any rate
increases.
Heating Oil: Currently we have seven buildings (5 Fire Houses, Library and the Jordan
Park House) that receive heating oil.
© Natural Gas: We have five locations with Natural Gas (Municipal Complex, Town Hall,
Community Center, Police Dept. and the Public Safety building). We have been notified
that the Municipal Complex will be billed using a Daily Demand Meter Rate (Rate 20). A
telemetering charge of $22/month is now part of this billing.
Waste Disposal:
‘Solid Waste/Recyclables: The Public Works Department provides the containers and collection
services and pays for disposal. These costs are included in the Public Works budget and are
‘not included in this budget.
These contracts allow us to ensure the preventative maintenance tasks are performed at all of
the facilities. It also allows us to monitor the performance of the vendor.
Life Safety Inspections:
For those buildings with sprinklers and/or fire alarms, quarterly inspections are required to keep
the Town in compliance with the Fire Code. From these inspections, items are identified to be
tested or components repaired. NFPA 25 for buildings with sprinklers (quarterly), NFPA 72 for
building with fire alarms (annual) and NFPA 10 for fire extinguishers (annual) are what are
budgeted for. We are now responsible for inspection of nine fire hydrants located on Town
property.
Hvac
Units are on a preventative maintenance program. Not only are the units inspected, the units
are cleaned, belts inspected, filters changed and valves exercised.

Analysis of information of what we have.
Maintaining the old Oswegatchie Fire House while the new one is being built.
In the future, new facilities will be added to this department.

10111-52040 — Service Contracts and Repairs
The primary method to minimize costly service calls are annual preventative
maintenance contracts. Contracts include HVAC maintenance, pest control, alarms
and fire system inspections as well as generator maintenance.
Custodial services provided to Town Hall, Municipal Complex, Youth & Family Services,
Community Genter, Public Safety Building and part time coverage at the library are
included in this line item. The Library (day coverage) and the Police Station provide
these services in their budgets. The cost of custodial services at the Town Hall is partly
offset by a funding agreement between the Town and Board of Education. These funds
are listed in this budget as a revenue.

‘Staffed with trained dedicated staff, the Department is comprised of four Divisions:
Administration
Briefly, the division manages and accounts for our assets, manages personnel, prepares the Captial
Improvement Pian, plans for emergency management and diaster mitigation and incorporates sustainable
practices into public works practices. It also manages the 3 municipal refueling sites.
Highway Operations (...it is not just the asphalt...)
{tis important for the residents to have well-maintained roads to ensure that traffic flows as smoothly and
safely as possible. This includes curbing, sidewalks, tree care, drainage and mowing. In order to
accomplish this, the Department mixes in-house with contracted work to provide a cost effective delivery
of services. This division works with the Police Department's Trafic Officer in the installation of new
signage.
Solid Waste
This division is charged with the collection and disposal of solid waste and recyclables and the operation
of the Transfer Station and the closed landfill off Miner Lane. Our curbside collection programs collects
waste and recyclables from approximately 8,000 residential units, 12 dumpster sites and 9 municipal
buildings. The Transfer Station experiences over 3,500 trips over the scale each year and is open 4 days
a week from April through December and 3 days for January through March.
Equipment Maintenance
This division's skilled mechanics maintains nearly 121 vehicles and 73 pieces of equipment serving every
‘Town Department except the Board of Education and main pieces of fire apparatus. Major repair
operations such as engine replacement, hydraulics and transmission are performed in-house using the 6
‘equipment bays. A mix of vendors are also tapped to assist in specialized rebuilds and tire mounting.

* Striving for a high level of customer service
© Excellent information management
‘© Compliance with enviromental operating permits
‘* Maintaining our ability to respond to emergency management incidents while performing
our regular duties
‘© Having a shared vision with the community
‘Work on this budget started in July and involved hours of staff time at all levels assembling
information and seeking pricing for the upcoming year. The basic philosophy in preparing the
budget was:
Adequately fund the infrastructure
Propose new equipment vs additional personnel
Work smarter, not harder
Do not take on new services or projects without a discussion on the impact, and cost.
Take care of what we already have
‘The budget is what is required to maintain the infrastructure. The Department is obliged to pay
bills for water, waste disposal, environmental permitting and repairs. The roads must get
plowed, diseased trees removed and our drainage systems kept clear. This is a level service
budget.
General Overview
'* Solid Waste remains a significant portion of the budget. Disposal costs continue to
increase each year, whether it is garbage (MSW) or bulky waste. While the disposal
costs for MSW are still below “market”, increased tipping fees are being projected by the
regional authority, SCRRRA through the end of our contract year in 2031. SCRRRA is
working on ways to decrease our reliance on burning the MSW. It is proceeding with the
construction of an organic composting facility. The Authority is anticipating that the
project can be placed out for private firms to bid on within the current fiscal year and
completed 18 months later.
© Locally, for the last 5 years, the garbage disposal (MSW) has been fiat, between 12,131
to 12,610 tons per year. Recycling is also following that trend hovering around 2,000
tons on an average for the last 5 years. This will change. With the increase in housing
and economic development comes the increase in tonnage of waste.

Courses taken will account towards a certification of a Road Master or higher. This is in
addition to the mandatory courses, which are either OSHA or Risk Management
required.
The Department's various divisions need to evolve with new equipment and methods
replacing what we currently do and have. There are several tasks in the maintenance of
our roads that need to be addressed differently. The Department practices have not
changed over the last decade. Our equipment uses brute force, materials do not
perform as well as they should and methods that the homeowner uses around their
property remain, The equipment needs are identified in the Departments Separate
Vehicle/Equipment Request.
New Equipment
* None proposed
Engineering Services
‘© Proposed is a new pavement management program, which will be the bases for
asset management of our right of way. For the pavement portion, it will transition our
current program slowly from a ‘worse first” to a rounded approach. Not every road
needs a full course of asphalt to extend its service life. Proposed is an inspection of
the condition of our asphalt assets, the 120 center miles of road and 33 miles of
sidewalks. Our roads were last inspected in 2020. There are no formal inspections
of the sidewalks. The inspections will be conducted with a vehicle mounted LIDAR
‘scanner which geo-locates roadway images every 20-30 feet. Al models use that
raw data to create the Pavement Condition index compliant to ASTM D6433
standards. With this, we can optimize funds by using one of 5 pavement repair
categories resulting in keeping or increasing the pavement condition index of the
entire road network at the least cost. This same process can be used to address our
sidewalks.
The other assets of our right of way such as signs, guardrails, pavement markings
and streetlights can be added later.
ee _:

inspections.
Issues that cannot be resolved with simple actions are becoming the norm. The
easy have been completed. Civil engineering services are often needed to solve
these concerns generated by our citizens.
Our crews are not trained to work around the power lines. Those trees will remain to
be contracted out, with public works crews providing the ground support and wood
removal.
Street lighting - Now that we are out of the warranty period, repairs now must be
budgeted. This includes the cost of Eversource to disconnect/connect the fixture to
their power lines.
Recruitment remains a challenge throughout all of our skill levels. The Department
has experience on an average two positions that were unfilled.
In closing, we can add another good year to our record. One that continues with positive results
in the maintenance of our roads and our handling of waste. | know next year will challenge us
again, but the entire staff is ready to meet those challenges head on.

PERSONNEL WORKSHEET

The postage requirements of Public Works have typically been for daily correspondence,
mailing of recycling schedules and confirmation of Bulky Waste appointments. We also
mail notices of projects to all residents adjacent to a construction project. This allows for
greater awareness of project schedules and potential impacts to residents. Stamps
increased to .78 cents for First Class mail as of July 1, 2025. We are using the number of
letters sent this fiscal year as last since we are continuing with a robust paving program
for this fiscal year.

Transfer Station: The Bulky Waste Transfer Station is located at the Municipal
Complex. This facility serves only the Town of Waterford residents and small
businesses. A fee of $110/ton is charged for the disposal of the bulky waste.
This resulted in a revenue of $105,234 for FY25.
We have a three year contract that spans FY25 - FY28. This vendor is to remove
1,000 tons of bulky waste a year at $115/Ton disposal fee. This contract also
includes a price per pull (estimated at 67 pulls in one fiscal year) @ $275/each.
$133,335
Curbside Collection: We provide curbside bulky waste pickup from April -
‘October and charge per the approved Fee Schedule. In FY25 we had 292 bulky
stops.
This service resulted in a revenue of $6,568 in FY25.
D. Bulky Stee! & Freon Removal
Bulky Steel such as appliances, bicycles, siding, etc. are accepted at the
Transfer Station. The value of scrap steel fluctuates greatly. Prior to processing
appliances, all refrigerants must be removed from the refrigerators, freezers,
dehumidifiers and air conditioners then be certified clean. SCRRRA provides
Freon removal as part of services provided by the Authority to the member
Towns at no cost to the Town.
We received approximately $55,353 in revenues from scrap steel in FY25.
Our current contract FY25 — FY28 is in place with the Town receiving 71% of the
auto bodies export price published in the New York American Metal market (1%
issue of the month) but not less than $150/ton.

The appropriation requested for disposal is $3,500
Roll-Out Trash & Recycling Containers (Carts)
‘* These 96 gallon units are the roll out carts that the residents put their trash and
recyclables in for their curbside pickup. Each household is able to have up to 3
blue & 3 green containers. The cost to the residents are $50 per cart and the
Town delivers to the homeowner, if needed. We also stock parts to repair the
carts, when possible. The original carts are beginning to break and the Town is
having to replace these more often than ever before.
© The revenue from FY25 for these containers was $9,690.
The appropriation requested is $50,000
‘Street Sweepings / Catch Basin Cleanings Disposal Fee

52510 Rental of Equipment:
There are, at times, the need to rent equipment to replace a large piece of equipment
that is down for an extended period of time for repairs. We have also been renting a
skid steer to use for sidewalk snowplowing operations. The paving projects have been
very aggressive and in an effort to keep on schedule with the water services, we have
rented a mini excavator for the Public Works portion of that project. This assists with the
temporary trench repair with asphalt.

Landfill Cap Maintenance
This line item includes all costs involving the closed, capped Waterford Landfill located
off Miner Lane. The landfill (18 acres) has been officially closed since December 31,
2001. The DEEP permit requires the landfill to be maintained and monitored for 30
years after closure.
Landfill Well Monitoring — involves a monitoring program for testing drilled monitoring
wells, domestic water wells and surface water sites.
Currently, monitoring is performed twice a year, in November and May. The monitoring
program consists of groundwater and surface water monitoring, plus the collection and
sampling of the water supply well at the nearby farm. Decomposition gas monitoring is
also required. DEEP requires a semi-annual report, along with an annual report due in
February. $17,778
Landfill Mowing - The closure Permit requires the landfill be mowed twice a year to
prevent large vegetation growth and trees. The current bid expires in spring of 2026. We
will use the current number for this work at $ 5,426 per mowing, and this mowing is done
twice a year. 
$10,852
Cap Maintenance There is a need for calcium chloride for dust control and bank run
gravel for the maintenance of the processing pad and roadway access to the top of the
closed landfill where we will continue to process brush and general yard waste.
