Town of Princeton, Mass. – Jan. 23, 2017 – 5 PM
Princeton Broadband MLP – Regular Meeting Minutes
Chairman Stan Moss and Jon Fudeman present; Edith Morgan absent. TA Nina Nazarian. Marty Dell’Erba also present.
5 PM Stan opened meeting of PBMLP in the Town Hall Annex. Marty Dell’Erba noted recent problems communicating with Verizon—email issues caused lapses in his replies. He reported overages of about 22 percent on requested payments for Verizon make ready work on attachment license application #4 to Verizon. The overage was due to police details which added up to $6,322.40. Bills from PMLD came in under-budget so the net payout from PBMLP at the end of Make-Ready could come in at the budgeted amount.
The board voted all in favor to pay the Verizon invoice for pole application #4 as submitted at $6,155.88.
Marty said the fiber trunk lines that MBI had installed must be transferred to 16 poles before the license can transfer to the town. After that, Verizon can continue and Axia can complete their line-lowering. This affects licenses # 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 & 9, with most MBI fiber trunk lines on # 7.
Board voted all in favor to approve the PBMLP minutes from Jan. 9, 2017. The group received a memo from Nina outlining assistant manager’s (Marty) short list of tasks to close the Make-Ready project and proposed approving $5,000. To cover eight more weeks—project could close in about six weeks. Stan mentioned that MBI asked for RFPs from potential vendors and received three for Princeton, besides the Comcast and Charter was one from Fujitsu that offered only 70 percent coverage of town—so is not under consideration.
5:20 PM PBMLP voted to adjourn and selectmen returned to regular BOS meeting.
Respectfully submitted, Marie Auger, Admin. Assistant
