1
00:00:55,860 --> 00:01:05,180
Calling the Board of Selecting Meeting for September 22nd, 2026, regular meeting to order at 608 p.m.

2
00:01:05,380 --> 00:01:08,600
and our first rule of business will be pledge of allegiance.

3
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:36,630
Okay, let's see, we have secretaries report.

4
00:01:37,050 --> 00:01:40,170
We have approved minutes from regular meeting of August 18th

5
00:01:40,170 --> 00:01:42,630
and September 18th.

6
00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:44,630
Which I have a chance to look at those.

7
00:01:44,970 --> 00:01:46,430
Do we want to make a motion tonight?

8
00:01:46,790 --> 00:01:47,450
We're table now.

9
00:01:48,010 --> 00:01:50,030
I didn't limit that the August 19th.

10
00:01:50,030 --> 00:01:52,510
once they didn't get it.

11
00:01:54,110 --> 00:01:54,230
Okay.

12
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:55,330
Table low?

13
00:01:55,650 --> 00:01:56,490
Or are both?

14
00:01:56,730 --> 00:01:57,170
I mean, both.

15
00:01:57,450 --> 00:01:57,770
Table low?

16
00:01:58,130 --> 00:01:58,210
Yes.

17
00:01:58,570 --> 00:01:58,790
Okay.

18
00:01:59,150 --> 00:02:00,190
They're sorry they didn't get it.

19
00:02:00,410 --> 00:02:00,590
Okay.

20
00:02:00,830 --> 00:02:01,590
So we will table.

21
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:09,940
Okay.

22
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:16,420
Audiences, citizens, reminding everyone to please state your name for the record and comments should be kept short.

23
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:19,180
That's not a question and answer period, so.

24
00:02:21,290 --> 00:02:21,590
I don't know.

25
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:23,980
This way.

26
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,820
So you can see me.

27
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:40,200
I'm here tonight because I see any appointments with the WBCA, I believe this was talked about a couple of meetings ago, I appreciate that it was a table and then, you know, brought back with both of them and that's great to see.

28
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:49,000
I just wanted to reiterate for some comments that we're meeting where my goal serves on the board of fines, I believe.

29
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,480
And potentially serving another board, that's supporting another two things, some ethical

30
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,380
demand drums.

31
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,980
So I just would ask this board to seriously consider those, maybe even reach out to the

32
00:03:00,980 --> 00:03:06,540
ethics board for an end and a more consult, both for a point in that.

33
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,220
Just to make sure that we don't even go down the road with either my key in a position where

34
00:03:11,220 --> 00:03:16,820
he's got to make some ethical decisions that, you know, no microcubes him from an important

35
00:03:18,140 --> 00:03:20,580
So just wanted to bring that to your attention.

36
00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:21,760
Thank you.

37
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:43,940
Okay.

38
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:45,860
So we do have some appointments tonight.

39
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,360
We have the appointment of, like,

40
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,580
my quite large to the large portion control authority.

41
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:50,900
Turned expired to 11.

42
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,300
We have appointment of Nicholson to the large portion control authority.

43
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,060
Turned expired to 1120.

44
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,620
Mike was the same for me.

45
00:04:00,180 --> 00:04:02,220
And then the appointment of, well,

46
00:04:02,220 --> 00:04:03,740
we could take those two first.

47
00:04:03,940 --> 00:04:06,140
If we want to take them together or do we want to take them separate?

48
00:04:06,140 --> 00:04:08,320
Where would we have the session in there?

49
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,480
I think.

50
00:04:10,340 --> 00:04:11,420
Well, we can make a motion.

51
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:14,620
And then, second, and then discuss before we vote.

52
00:04:16,620 --> 00:04:18,220
So we want to take a meet individually?

53
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,440
Yes, please.

54
00:04:19,780 --> 00:04:19,900
Okay.

55
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,840
Pointment of Mike Weiglers to water push control authority termed expired 12, 120, 28.

56
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:25,820
So I have motion.

57
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:26,600
I'll make a motion.

58
00:04:26,940 --> 00:04:27,200
I'll say.

59
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:27,820
Okay.

60
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,620
Now, discussion.

61
00:04:31,140 --> 00:04:31,900
So discussion.

62
00:04:32,180 --> 00:04:32,580
Again.

63
00:04:32,580 --> 00:04:37,680
I'm sure what we've talked about, I just didn't know if we had an opportunity as it's

64
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:37,800
me.

65
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:38,540
I didn't hear anything.

66
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,000
So if we should forward it to Ethics, just to be sure, I know that in the past we had the

67
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,940
chairman of the Board of Finance was also in the WPCA, so we have, you know, where we have

68
00:04:51,940 --> 00:04:56,560
a past practice and other towns do indeed have that.

69
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:04,980
So, you know, I do, I've been thinking a lot about it and as a colleague, I know him well

70
00:05:04,980 --> 00:05:10,360
and know that he would be willing to recuse himself often if need be.

71
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:19,040
But then does that reduce the efficacy if you well of the WPCA board or the board of finance

72
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:28,100
as it kind of set a kind of interferer with the government process and I just don't.

73
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:36,800
My thought is I'm not totally opposed to it for sure, as long as he is aware of the fact

74
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:44,920
that he has to be accused himself and I believe that he is, but I don't know your thoughts

75
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:45,540
as well.

76
00:05:45,540 --> 00:05:53,400
Yeah, well, I did call other towns, and I mentioned that before, like I, and many WPCAs do have

77
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:59,480
somebody from Board of Finance, certainly not both. And we had past practice where we've had

78
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:06,100
somebody on there, and it never seemed to really be an issue. But I can understand people's thoughts,

79
00:06:06,220 --> 00:06:12,400
but I do think, as you stated, that if Mike thought there was a reason to recuse himself

80
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:20,420
I think he would certainly take that, knowing that, even his line of work that he's very honorable and, you know,

81
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:31,740
I mean, so I'm just, you know, I think we have two people very willing to work towards the goal of the WPCA,

82
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,160
and I have a similar reservation with the next candidate, and I am neck for the same reason.

83
00:06:38,380 --> 00:06:49,340
If he puts in septic systems or dig sewer lines or does anything for people, because I know the sewer connection, you know, he does some of that work.

84
00:06:49,480 --> 00:07:01,000
I was told over the years. So there was a thought that maybe he'd have to also reduce himself or maybe it would interfere with his personal business if he was up there on the board.

85
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,960
So that was a concern for some people.

86
00:07:04,060 --> 00:07:06,880
But I would think Nick would probably do the same if it

87
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,340
has something where he's not to recuse himself

88
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:10,980
or if he didn't think athletically correct.

89
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,240
I like he should be voting on something, but so right now

90
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,480
we have the motion of Mike Waigler's on there.

91
00:07:18,740 --> 00:07:22,060
So, I think, and I respect that opinion,

92
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,080
absolutely, and I hear that.

93
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,860
But in the interest of moving forward,

94
00:07:25,860 --> 00:07:27,560
they've been struggling right without it.

95
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,280
Yeah, and I don't have a corner of there.

96
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:37,560
So they really need some people to serve on that committee, so we could try it, and then just not really point when they come up for it.

97
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:50,460
And if it seems to be in the shoe, we can have conversations about, you know, when we need to meet decisions in rural, on board with that, kind of watching for each other, so I can, you know, support that.

98
00:07:50,460 --> 00:08:00,220
Okay, all right, so all in favor of moving like my bloggers to one of the receipts on the water pollution control authority tend to expire 1212128.

99
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:07,460
I, so that's two to zero, gates is absent from that vote.

100
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:14,940
Okay, second appointment of Nicholson to the water pollution control authority tend to expire 121212128.

101
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:15,960
Motion.

102
00:08:16,260 --> 00:08:17,160
Yeah, probably the motion.

103
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:18,400
Okay, I will second.

104
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,120
And any discussion?

105
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:22,680
No.

106
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,320
I think we should.

107
00:08:24,620 --> 00:08:27,400
So I'm in favor of doing that as well.

108
00:08:27,580 --> 00:08:28,980
So we can vote on Nicholson.

109
00:08:30,740 --> 00:08:30,920
Okay.

110
00:08:31,340 --> 00:08:32,120
Two to zero.

111
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,280
And now the last is the appointment of Estacia Cowl,

112
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,920
which is on my classes here,

113
00:08:39,220 --> 00:08:43,080
to the Deep River Housing Authority Board of Commissioners as a tenant representative.

114
00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:47,800
And she will fill the term left vacant by a resignation of April for city

115
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,700
who was also the tenant representative.

116
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,920
So it has to be someone that lives

117
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,920
at the Curtin Commons and has been approved by the board there put up.

118
00:08:59,060 --> 00:09:01,640
And actually funny enough when I looked back,

119
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,280
a station had stepped down and we put April in her place.

120
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,200
So the director, Joey, I had told me that a station would be a great fit

121
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,920
because she's already served on the board anyway.

122
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,900
So we just need to kind of move that forward.

123
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:18,520
so they could have a full board.

124
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:19,680
I'm going to make that motion.

125
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:22,840
And I will second.

126
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:23,880
All in favor?

127
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:24,520
I.

128
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:25,600
OK.

129
00:09:25,860 --> 00:09:26,280
None of those.

130
00:09:27,420 --> 00:09:28,460
Very good.

131
00:09:29,140 --> 00:09:29,420
All right.

132
00:09:29,660 --> 00:09:31,480
Transfrostation aboard a select and joint meeting.

133
00:09:31,740 --> 00:09:32,740
Just want to give an update.

134
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,820
The Selectman all met with the Transfrostation Committee.

135
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:39,980
And we could appreciate their frustration.

136
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:42,360
And we do appreciate their hard work.

137
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,720
It's a really great group of folks working hard

138
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:54,640
to make some changes and make the board selectment aware of some things that the recommending for us to make changes up there.

139
00:09:55,260 --> 00:10:01,860
So I just wanted to highlight a will have at least one member of that committee coming to the first monthly meeting of the board of selectment.

140
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,740
And they will give about a five minute update.

141
00:10:05,860 --> 00:10:10,600
So we will still have time and our meeting to get our business done.

142
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:18,760
We're setting up a meeting with the DPW to set and establish some new fee schedules for the disposal items of the transfer station.

143
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:25,840
And some of those items will be a bigger bulky items that allow other transfer stations that we're charging for, like,

144
00:10:26,020 --> 00:10:29,280
couches and oversized rows and that sort of thing.

145
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:39,180
Then I have that we're working on the ordinance. I recent that to our town attorney and said let's get this back going so we could move that forward.

146
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,020
and a little more due to the very nice summation for us and sent it around.

147
00:10:46,220 --> 00:10:54,160
So we do appreciate that group and I just wanted to give a shout out to them and we do have some great action items that we're going to move forward with.

148
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:02,460
Deep river day, big shout out to Kaylee Anderson and all of Park and Rack, they did an awesome job.

149
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:11,780
And I wanted to say thank you to all the community groups out there, place was packed, it was such a great day.

150
00:11:12,340 --> 00:11:17,140
I bought big sale items from, let's see, VRS volleyball, basketball, valley cheer.

151
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,100
I contributed a safe grab, you should all contribute to safe grab.

152
00:11:22,380 --> 00:11:27,720
I bought some months from the deeper care, yeah, it was just a great day.

153
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:35,940
But I eat a lot and talk to a lot of folks, so I know it was a great day, so thank you for it.

154
00:11:36,020 --> 00:11:39,700
We had some of the political groups out there, so it was great, everybody's talking, everybody's talking.

155
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:42,740
You know, small town, we all know everybody's so it's great.

156
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:51,820
And then speaking of small town, the whole politics thing, I just wanted to shout out because we've had two calls yesterday,

157
00:11:51,820 --> 00:11:58,020
today about people, political science or stroke to go missing. Today we had one from one party

158
00:11:58,020 --> 00:12:04,040
that almost yesterday was a different party. So people are paying play and favorites. They're

159
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:10,360
just, you can't just pass and pull up people's things on their lawns. So please stop doing that.

160
00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:20,100
But great, the fireworks were amazing and again the 5k was great. We had overall top winner,

161
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:27,200
sure was female, so women's power, but that gal was from Lil Town, and then our top winner

162
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,940
on male was also from out of town, but they said they love Deep River, love the course.

163
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,440
So, great job.

164
00:12:39,530 --> 00:12:42,970
Let's see. Oh, and you wanted to give us a shout out to Clinton, right,

165
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:49,730
town of Clinton? Oh, yes, the town of Vietnam, their DPW supplied the lights for us, so we were able

166
00:12:49,730 --> 00:12:51,470
to partner with her and work together

167
00:12:51,470 --> 00:12:54,010
to pick up those nice bright lights

168
00:12:54,010 --> 00:12:56,430
that we put at home at Platwood.

169
00:12:56,810 --> 00:12:59,970
So we could exit safely, and it was just nice again.

170
00:13:00,190 --> 00:13:02,170
You know, small town communities working together,

171
00:13:02,750 --> 00:13:05,310
sharing resources, so we can love to save,

172
00:13:05,310 --> 00:13:07,250
save money that way, and it was wonderful.

173
00:13:07,550 --> 00:13:10,210
I didn't, you plastered it through the state

174
00:13:10,210 --> 00:13:12,370
and Department of Emergency Services,

175
00:13:12,430 --> 00:13:14,250
and this year it was just a simple phone call

176
00:13:14,250 --> 00:13:16,790
to a neighbor, and it was a little simpler.

177
00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:18,130
Yeah, that's great.

178
00:13:18,130 --> 00:13:20,850
And thank you, I see Tim, we're really getting the fire department.

179
00:13:21,470 --> 00:13:25,430
Guys, I always do so much and our police are fighting down the roads and that sort of thing.

180
00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:28,470
We also have the close sort of free ride.

181
00:13:28,610 --> 00:13:31,550
I always come through deeper and the same exact day.

182
00:13:32,110 --> 00:13:34,550
And so we had some bicycle that's going through.

183
00:13:35,850 --> 00:13:37,290
And it all seemed to work smoothly.

184
00:13:37,730 --> 00:13:40,210
There were no big issues or anything, so a great job.

185
00:13:40,850 --> 00:13:43,530
And the pet parade was also amazing, so.

186
00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:46,170
I was fun to see that annual tradition come back.

187
00:13:46,170 --> 00:13:47,150
That's a favor.

188
00:13:48,730 --> 00:13:50,610
Let's see, do you provide a town meeting?

189
00:13:50,810 --> 00:13:54,410
So we have a town meeting from Thursday evening, 6pm here.

190
00:13:54,990 --> 00:13:55,730
Please come out.

191
00:13:55,950 --> 00:13:58,790
We'll be discussing the town adopting a new ordinance

192
00:13:58,790 --> 00:14:01,210
allowing zoning tissue citations.

193
00:14:01,510 --> 00:14:03,710
Right now, we do not have citations.

194
00:14:04,930 --> 00:14:08,210
So that will be on the docket for the 6pm Thursday meeting.

195
00:14:08,410 --> 00:14:09,170
So please come out.

196
00:14:10,630 --> 00:14:13,350
We want to talk about our procedure for calls, requests

197
00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:15,990
for road, trees, or other infrastructure issues.

198
00:14:16,850 --> 00:14:18,550
Currently, what we're doing is people

199
00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:20,570
call in to typically my office.

200
00:14:21,010 --> 00:14:23,970
And then either I get the call, or the redd against the call,

201
00:14:23,990 --> 00:14:27,650
my assistant, we come up with a list, and we basically

202
00:14:27,650 --> 00:14:30,070
will send that to the DPW director.

203
00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:34,170
We either email the person back directly,

204
00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:36,010
or we're talking to them on the phone, or whatever.

205
00:14:37,150 --> 00:14:42,170
So sometimes there seems to be a lag of the person on the other

206
00:14:42,170 --> 00:14:45,030
and realizing you were actually working toward something.

207
00:14:45,850 --> 00:14:47,770
So we're kind of work up with a new procedure.

208
00:14:48,030 --> 00:14:50,850
Maybe you have some sheets of paper,

209
00:14:51,050 --> 00:14:54,570
you know, like a kind of workboarder that when things come in,

210
00:14:55,150 --> 00:14:59,970
I think one of the issues that Eric is such a great guy that a lot of people

211
00:15:00,140 --> 00:15:30,120
And I have this phone number. And they call him direct. And he's the director of DPW. And so I think it's throwing off what we think the list is. And then new things get put in. And of course if something priority comes in that bumps everything else down. So just wanted to talk to, like when the tours here, when she come into sign checks the other day. And I said, yeah, that we've got to do better with the communication, but also just, you know, if somebody shows up to

212
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,080
the pot hole, then obviously the person that called that he knows that somebody got the message,

213
00:15:34,940 --> 00:15:38,220
but how do we get that person the message and then what's the timing of that or something

214
00:15:38,220 --> 00:15:43,280
you know? Just that they know that it's in the hopper. You know that it didn't fall on deaf years.

215
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:50,240
If there was a we were talking about brush over both on private property that it looks as though the town

216
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:57,880
should be made to make contact with the homeowner to give them the opportunity to trim the bush

217
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:04,680
first or the overgrowth. So we're not going in there and cleaning out something that they didn't

218
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:10,840
want us to. So and one of the issues came up, there's a site line issue and we've not done

219
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:16,580
the person's house, like at least twice, left business car, please call. So today I did

220
00:16:16,580 --> 00:16:21,180
run a letter and gave them a deadline and then we were just going to have to go and cut the

221
00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:25,420
down or cut it back because people can't see pulling out of that road.

222
00:16:25,780 --> 00:16:26,340
That's very dangerous.

223
00:16:27,980 --> 00:16:28,860
So we'll work on that.

224
00:16:28,940 --> 00:16:35,480
We did look into doing online system, but very expensive to have, you know, residents.

225
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,300
So, that's one of the most important, I thought, one of the most important incidents.

226
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:48,280
So anyway, so we're working on that, but I think, rest assured that your messages are getting

227
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:53,500
of us and we are passing them on and sometimes failing to say we're passing them on and they

228
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:58,940
just get passed down and then eventually they get taken care of or immediately to the

229
00:16:58,940 --> 00:16:59,560
end of what it is.

230
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,580
Even the state road.

231
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,000
So I can say that there was an option and I don't know if you saw you did forward an email

232
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,420
to you with regard to some concerns on the state road road.

233
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:15,480
A fire department had been to many crashes in this one area and a DOT offers an engineer

234
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:21,260
to come out and take a look at, like that F's curve over by the transfer station and you know

235
00:17:21,260 --> 00:17:27,920
can they even do some some passive kind of interventions narrowing the road like different

236
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:33,020
paint lines so it looks as though the road is more narrow so people tend to slow down or sign it

237
00:17:33,020 --> 00:17:38,800
to you. Yeah, we did have them come out there used to be that area that right near the transfer station

238
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:44,000
that raised freeze. Yeah, and they came out and reended that and it's just we have some

239
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,020
you both like old country, but it's given Kelsey Hill. I do not know how that ever got put

240
00:17:49,020 --> 00:17:54,660
in with all those rocks. And then they put the school there, like that, just to do soon

241
00:17:54,660 --> 00:17:59,880
to make the most sense, but to, with all the young teenage drivers should do. Okay, so

242
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:05,660
region four schools, consultant for school consolidation progress, they have set up three

243
00:18:05,660 --> 00:18:10,160
meetings, and they're going to go, I have a meeting in each town, Chester deeper in Essex,

244
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,460
And those are set up.

245
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,940
So we tend to need, these will be in the newsletter on Friday.

246
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:23,760
Deep River will be Thursday, 10, 29, and that will be up here, the Auditoring Chesteres

247
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,380
is going to be at their meeting house.

248
00:18:25,700 --> 00:18:31,400
Essex will be 11, 4, and I write down where there's was, so I don't have to, I'll put

249
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:32,960
that in the newsletter on Friday though.

250
00:18:33,260 --> 00:18:38,480
And then they'll have one large community gathering on November 10, up in John, in Trip.

251
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:44,000
Now, residents can go to one or all three of the, they might be very similar-themed.

252
00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:48,620
So if you can't, you know, you can't make the deeper one, but you can make the one

253
00:18:48,620 --> 00:18:51,980
in Essex feel free to go to Essex, you're welcome at all of them.

254
00:18:52,940 --> 00:18:59,080
And again, they might be very similarly set up because it's going to be these community engagement

255
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,820
kind of workshops that they're doing.

256
00:19:01,820 --> 00:19:04,800
And then the larger community gathering will have a John Winthrop.

257
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,740
And I don't know at that point if it's going to still be interacting, or at that point

258
00:19:08,740 --> 00:19:12,540
they're going to present maybe what's coming out of the three smaller ones.

259
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:19,720
But very exciting, finally a chance for everyone to come out and give your ideas or your

260
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,580
vision of what the future of our schools look like.

261
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,280
If you're a favorite consolidation or if you don't, or what your ideas might be, maybe people

262
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,060
haven't heard them yet.

263
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:34,100
So that's maybe you have an idea that hasn't come to the forefront yet, so that would

264
00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:40,940
really nice. And then meetings have started for board of ed and I like I mentioned and maybe

265
00:19:40,940 --> 00:19:46,260
we'll just keep mentioning, trying ahead of the whole budget process by showing up early

266
00:19:46,260 --> 00:19:52,020
so we can get our voices heard from that supervision district, which is the large supervision

267
00:19:52,020 --> 00:19:58,380
district budget. But again, the more you participate the more, even the people on our

268
00:19:58,380 --> 00:20:04,540
towards the head, know where the towns people, you know, where they stand, because we've

269
00:20:04,540 --> 00:20:11,000
elected them to represent us on these boards. So definitely, we'll reach out if you know

270
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,360
somebody on the board of the head, reach out and have a, you know, meet them for coffee and

271
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:20,940
just chat about, because they're up there voting for you. So they would like to know that

272
00:20:20,940 --> 00:20:24,940
Deeper there's totally against something that totally for it, right?

273
00:20:25,820 --> 00:20:28,980
So I just wanted to, so that DMG consultants, so that's great.

274
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:30,800
They started their work.

275
00:20:32,540 --> 00:20:36,260
Let's see, audiences, citizens, same rules and guidelines as before.

276
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,620
Anyone would like to address the board now?

277
00:20:44,190 --> 00:20:44,370
Yeah.

278
00:20:44,470 --> 00:20:48,530
Online system or the challenges of Microsoft is involved in familiar with.

279
00:20:48,910 --> 00:20:53,150
You might be able to simply just put a Microsoft form on a web age

280
00:20:53,150 --> 00:20:59,230
to it, that will request information, contact information, spot the person to vote whatever

281
00:21:00,570 --> 00:21:06,850
they're there, whatever they're concerned about, and then also respond to that with a simple

282
00:21:07,390 --> 00:21:14,250
request number and give an email to the appropriate parties by a simple checkboxes, whether it's

283
00:21:14,250 --> 00:21:20,550
public works or maybe, you know, or it's left, whatever it is, and it's pretty simple, pretty

284
00:21:20,550 --> 00:21:23,430
It doesn't require a lot from an IT standpoint.

285
00:21:24,170 --> 00:21:25,430
You put something like that together.

286
00:21:26,650 --> 00:21:27,970
So just hurt it.

287
00:21:28,650 --> 00:21:29,390
And I'm not gonna keep writing.

288
00:21:29,550 --> 00:21:30,350
Just kind of like to that.

289
00:21:30,690 --> 00:21:31,510
Something that's my key.

290
00:21:31,690 --> 00:21:32,230
So thank you, Bob.

291
00:21:32,490 --> 00:21:32,790
Thank you.

292
00:21:33,230 --> 00:21:36,010
If you ask, I don't know what I don't say.

293
00:21:36,370 --> 00:21:37,470
I don't say that.

294
00:21:37,570 --> 00:21:38,270
You know what?

295
00:21:38,270 --> 00:21:38,390
I don't know what I'm saying.

296
00:21:38,390 --> 00:21:38,750
I don't know what I'm saying.

297
00:21:38,990 --> 00:21:39,250
I don't know what I'm saying.

298
00:21:39,910 --> 00:21:40,750
I don't know what I'm saying.

299
00:21:40,910 --> 00:21:43,970
Yeah, and we're hoping it would be some simple.

300
00:21:44,250 --> 00:21:46,770
But there was a reason why we didn't want to do forms.

301
00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:47,590
And I can't remember.

302
00:21:47,950 --> 00:21:49,470
But maybe it was another town told me.

303
00:21:49,470 --> 00:21:53,330
just they had to like the same person do a form form part something it's like

304
00:21:53,330 --> 00:21:58,410
okay stop yeah you know we're gonna try to fill the pot home but like all

305
00:21:58,410 --> 00:22:04,110
the plants are close but that's a great idea so thank you I'll look into

306
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:13,840
it and my QR online so our select the notes no other body so select the

307
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:20,340
notes one of the things we're setting up our speed camera traffic study analysis

308
00:22:20,340 --> 00:22:24,540
meeting. Are you available Thursday at 113-30?

309
00:22:30,110 --> 00:22:41,410
Okay, okay, so I will send it to the meeting. He's been hard to pin down, so that's great. He said he only has 15 minutes.

310
00:22:41,910 --> 00:22:45,270
The traffic study done and we haven't actually had the results yet.

311
00:22:45,710 --> 00:22:49,590
So for anxious to see they did five locations around town.

312
00:22:50,430 --> 00:22:52,650
So we will report on that at our next meeting.

313
00:22:54,050 --> 00:22:58,210
Let's see, we had a very major water week over at the elementary school today.

314
00:22:58,210 --> 00:23:08,450
We had school was delayed a couple hours, and then it was decided that these children shouldn't be in there because there was a lot of water coming down.

315
00:23:08,850 --> 00:23:19,210
So thank you to everyone that responded over there. We had the elevator people, we had service master, electrical, which I think was stopped not to stop not to be over there.

316
00:23:20,990 --> 00:23:26,730
We had, let's see, the superintendent was over there, the finance director, we had a Kermus

317
00:23:26,730 --> 00:23:34,870
show up, our town insurance, building inspector, fire marshal, elementary school chair was

318
00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:35,310
over there.

319
00:23:36,110 --> 00:23:40,010
So, in the principal, like everybody was working together to make sure we could get the school

320
00:23:40,010 --> 00:23:41,070
reopened in time.

321
00:23:41,330 --> 00:23:45,250
So, it will be reopened tomorrow, so the children will be back in their tomorrow.

322
00:23:47,290 --> 00:23:51,550
And hopefully, the work I guess will take about one to two weeks, they've got to place

323
00:23:51,550 --> 00:23:56,310
some sheet rock where the water had come down, but it was a, what I used to, we used to

324
00:23:56,310 --> 00:23:59,750
call water fountains, but now they call water, water coolers, you know, like a drinking

325
00:23:59,750 --> 00:24:00,250
fountain.

326
00:24:01,230 --> 00:24:06,110
What I was to say, there was a drinking fountain, but actually, I think they're the water

327
00:24:06,110 --> 00:24:10,970
bottle of Philstation kind of drinking fountain, so they do call water coolers, but on the

328
00:24:10,970 --> 00:24:17,490
for one of the, I think the plastic hose went or something and it happened last night, so it was

329
00:24:17,490 --> 00:24:23,290
sort of kind of raining down all evening or, you know, building up to wind rain down. So,

330
00:24:23,770 --> 00:24:27,890
anyway, I guess it could have been worse if it was a Friday afternoon and with a three day

331
00:24:27,890 --> 00:24:34,690
week ahead or something. So, that was our big to do today, let's see. We had our new permits

332
00:24:34,690 --> 00:24:40,050
stickers will be out soon. January 1st, you'll have to have a new sticker for the

333
00:24:40,050 --> 00:24:44,830
dump so we are working on getting those. Park and Rec want to give a shout out for

334
00:24:44,830 --> 00:24:49,210
their Halloween parties coming up on October 17th and then I want to give a shout out

335
00:24:49,210 --> 00:24:56,070
to Rotary Club on the 24th, we're going to have the October fest. That is a landing

336
00:24:56,070 --> 00:25:01,970
a main again and I think if you go to their website or if there's posters around town

337
00:25:01,970 --> 00:25:08,410
the QR codes you can purchase a ticket. The tree word is coming up with dates for when

338
00:25:08,410 --> 00:25:12,330
he will have a meeting to talk about the beach tree at the library that unfortunately

339
00:25:13,030 --> 00:25:18,750
looks like it's going to have to come down which we've been trying to keep it going but the

340
00:25:18,750 --> 00:25:23,310
big branches are falling and now it's a hazard and it's a really a trip hazard it's making

341
00:25:23,310 --> 00:25:29,190
that sidewalks all buckled up and that's sort of thing and our tired stewardship program we

342
00:25:29,190 --> 00:25:33,230
to finally get a sign, just today, a contractor.

343
00:25:34,210 --> 00:25:36,270
I think it's actually called Bob's tires.

344
00:25:38,250 --> 00:25:39,270
Which I thought was great.

345
00:25:40,390 --> 00:25:43,310
So the suit is our transfer station, says the ready.

346
00:25:43,570 --> 00:25:45,490
We're going to start that program, which will be free,

347
00:25:45,710 --> 00:25:48,790
tire disposal for residents and a Chesterian,

348
00:25:48,790 --> 00:25:51,310
Deep River, so that'll save the town somebody.

349
00:25:51,910 --> 00:25:54,030
Right now we have to pay the dispose of the tires

350
00:25:54,030 --> 00:25:56,630
and residents have to pay to dispose of the tires.

351
00:25:56,630 --> 00:25:58,530
So this would be really great.

352
00:25:59,210 --> 00:26:02,090
And the idea is to keep them off the side of the road

353
00:26:02,090 --> 00:26:04,490
and off the railroad tracks and that sort of thing, which

354
00:26:04,490 --> 00:26:08,830
is more probably a bigger city, but it's a great program.

355
00:26:10,010 --> 00:26:12,750
And residents are paying up front when you go by-towners,

356
00:26:12,910 --> 00:26:15,630
you get charged that fee, like you do with mattresses.

357
00:26:15,930 --> 00:26:18,270
And so then it's free to disposal on the back side.

358
00:26:19,630 --> 00:26:23,370
So if you have any friends that in deeper over that,

359
00:26:23,430 --> 00:26:26,330
don't realize this program exists, please tell them.

360
00:26:26,330 --> 00:26:34,680
can get the tires disposed of correctly. I felt there was one other thing. Anything else?

361
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:36,880
Covered all the bases.

362
00:26:38,460 --> 00:26:40,380
All right, well then motion to adjourn.

363
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,320
All right, we will adjourn at 6.33.

364
00:26:44,620 --> 00:26:47,660
Toras, I will second, Jones, and all in favor.

365
00:26:48,220 --> 00:26:48,720
All right, okay.

366
00:27:08,140 --> 00:27:14,520
Good evening. Welcome to the Board of Finance Deep River Board of Finance meeting for September 22nd.

367
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:20,960
It's 7 p.m. and we'll call them meeting to order with first the roll call.

368
00:27:21,700 --> 00:27:22,360
Catherine Russell.

369
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:23,600
Presence.

370
00:27:23,780 --> 00:27:25,020
Carmella Velducci.

371
00:27:26,260 --> 00:27:26,840
Not for us.

372
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,800
Jacqueline Calamari here.

373
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,220
Very love.

374
00:27:31,660 --> 00:27:32,500
Michael Leglar.

375
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:32,900
Here.

376
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,420
Can we all be here?

377
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:36,320
Okay.

378
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:38,780
All right.

379
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,880
So first thing on our agenda is approve the minutes from regular meeting held on July 28.

380
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:44,940
Okay.

381
00:27:44,940 --> 00:27:45,720
So do 26.

382
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:46,860
So do?

383
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:47,240
Second.

384
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:48,020
Second?

385
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,520
All in favor?

386
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:50,580
I like that.

387
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:51,740
Any opposed?

388
00:27:52,380 --> 00:27:52,680
Okay.

389
00:27:53,620 --> 00:27:54,220
They're approved.

390
00:27:55,900 --> 00:27:58,680
Next on our agenda is audience of citizens.

391
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,260
Is there anybody in the audience who would like to say anything?

392
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:05,680
And there are not.

393
00:28:06,020 --> 00:28:06,620
So we'll move on.

394
00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:11,120
So next on the agenda is our treasury report.

395
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:15,920
And Tom, I know you got two months worth, and I don't know if you want to cover just the last door.

396
00:28:16,140 --> 00:28:18,040
Yeah, I just covered the last one.

397
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:25,940
I know we didn't have a meeting in August, but I wanted to actually bring everyone up to date on financial status,

398
00:28:25,940 --> 00:28:31,820
so I didn't do one for August, but I'm just going to review those September statement.

399
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:44,280
So, if you look at our General Fund balances from 921 back to 824, we have a negative

400
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:54,160
of 161,862 from the previous month, but our adjusted total for this month for September,

401
00:28:54,840 --> 00:29:02,660
as we take out the capital improvements borrow now, is the adjusted total is 10,563,188,088.

402
00:29:02,660 --> 00:29:04,300
So that's our general fund balance.

403
00:29:05,060 --> 00:29:08,940
As far as the rate changes, 7 March was confirmed

404
00:29:08,940 --> 00:29:13,820
that the new Federal Reserve Chairman made 22,26,

405
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,140
he replaced Jerome Powell.

406
00:29:16,860 --> 00:29:18,800
The Federal Reserve reviewed their interest rates

407
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,100
since September 16th, and they increased the rate by 25 basis

408
00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:23,480
of money.

409
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,920
So it went from 3.75 to 4%.

410
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,160
That was the first increase in three years.

411
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,340
So, the last rate reduction was made in December 10th, 2025.

412
00:29:36,940 --> 00:29:41,280
To date, the deposit rates have not changed with the banks that we deal with.

413
00:29:41,420 --> 00:29:46,680
I'm hoping that maybe the rates will interest the deposit rates will increase a little bit.

414
00:29:47,140 --> 00:29:48,400
Let's see what happens there.

415
00:29:49,540 --> 00:29:58,700
The capital improvements borrow for 2022 capital improvements borrow the original amount was

416
00:29:58,700 --> 00:29:59,980
a million, four hundred and twenty-five.

417
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:27,320
This month there was no no disbursements were made. There's a remaining balance on data, 479,887, 179,887, 87 cents, that includes a cruise interest, and our interest that we earned on that account for the last month was 1,791.

418
00:30:28,060 --> 00:30:32,420
our interest rate on that is three percent. We can't go any higher than that.

419
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,400
That's our allowable rate.

420
00:30:34,540 --> 00:30:39,060
That could be a lot for just one. Yeah, I think that's also one of our open items.

421
00:30:39,420 --> 00:30:41,780
I know Pauli, you know, prepared yet to speak to us.

422
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:46,020
But I wanted to just, we're going to ask you later.

423
00:30:46,380 --> 00:30:51,620
He's done this. He might as well give us an update on the Cat World Fund.

424
00:30:52,540 --> 00:30:56,520
And when you anticipate getting an opportunity to look at it.

425
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:03,900
I would say definitely like next meeting if not I can get something together in the next couple

426
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:05,320
weeks.

427
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:05,600
Okay.

428
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,920
I only, I just wanted, it was more efficient to do it this way that's why I can get

429
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,340
because it was further down on the agenda.

430
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:17,160
So you're going to target for October's meeting.

431
00:31:18,260 --> 00:31:18,740
Okay.

432
00:31:20,620 --> 00:31:25,380
That was the open 479,000 else there still needs to be wrecked, right?

433
00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:26,980
Yes, there are balances.

434
00:31:27,860 --> 00:31:31,420
The ARPA class American Rescue Plan account, you know, I've had to be here.

435
00:31:33,260 --> 00:31:37,740
Whenever balanced we have our committed amount of 186,689.

436
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,080
We'll have to be dispersed.

437
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,320
The original allocation was 1,314,908.

438
00:31:46,180 --> 00:31:49,080
So the total dispersed amount has been 1,2829.

439
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,140
That's another one that's on our debt.

440
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:54,600
Oh, okay.

441
00:31:54,820 --> 00:31:55,900
But we'll wait for it.

442
00:31:56,300 --> 00:31:57,500
You're going to talk to the marketplace.

443
00:31:58,620 --> 00:31:59,980
And back to this, this happened.

444
00:32:01,220 --> 00:32:03,060
Remember there's some debt.

445
00:32:04,020 --> 00:32:07,700
It's just to, to the general fund.

446
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,080
So I don't think, like I said before,

447
00:32:10,260 --> 00:32:13,960
that 4779 is part of that, ready to spend.

448
00:32:14,660 --> 00:32:15,040
Okay.

449
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,080
I bet those numbers see you.

450
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,840
Yeah, that's why it's not all over the week, you know, that's what it is.

451
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:25,940
A wire transfer is a, there was a wire transfer that was made during the last month,

452
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:31,600
that from $1,100,000, made that September 3rd, that was with Liberty Bank,

453
00:32:32,100 --> 00:32:36,820
the money market accounts, and it was transferred to the Citizens Bank, and the foundation.

454
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:45,700
Our Equal Equal Education Equalization Grant ECS, for this year, for this fiscal year,

455
00:32:45,700 --> 00:32:55,700
that goes from 7126 to 630, 27 total allocation for the fiscal year is a $676.505.

456
00:32:56,700 --> 00:33:00,980
That's a $21,700 increase over last fiscal year.

457
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:05,920
And as you know, those money are dispersed three times a year.

458
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,700
First installment will be October 31st.

459
00:33:09,700 --> 00:33:16,440
will be for 25% of that total of this 419,000, 20,600,000,000.

460
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:24,700
Second installment will be due on January 31, 2027 for the same amount.

461
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:35,100
And the third installment will be due on April 30 for half of that total or 838,50,000,50,000,50,000.

462
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:42,100
Our total balances, the difference from August 24th to September 21st.

463
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,940
There's a difference of a negative amount of 1,177,978.

464
00:33:48,660 --> 00:33:58,260
But our net total for September 21st was 12,016,4047.

465
00:33:59,260 --> 00:34:01,160
Our short-term investment update.

466
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:07,320
Now, this is only through the end of July that I've been in touch with Paula.

467
00:34:08,260 --> 00:34:15,100
And this is, you know, our fiscal year, 71226-63027.

468
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,720
The budget amount for short-term investment is $150,000.

469
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:28,400
For that one month that you calculated, we have her in 25,36842 in interest, which represents

470
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:38,120
It's a 16.91% of the total, so the amount needed to reach our budget to go is 124,631,580.

471
00:34:38,720 --> 00:34:40,400
So one good month down.

472
00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:43,720
I think we'd like to have a brief introduction.

473
00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:45,860
Yeah, we'll keep that chair.

474
00:34:46,100 --> 00:34:47,680
I think we'll have a brief introduction.

475
00:34:47,740 --> 00:34:48,440
It would be a pleasure.

476
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,880
September bond payments, there were none due.

477
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:55,620
We did have two that were due in August.

478
00:34:55,620 --> 00:35:03,460
One was a capital improvements, a time bank that originated, again, August 15, 2022, from

479
00:35:03,460 --> 00:35:09,800
million, 425, rate 3.25, fixed rate for 15 years.

480
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:17,680
The payment that we made, which is an interest and principal payment was made on August 15th,

481
00:35:17,700 --> 00:35:23,380
and that was 1192125, which 95,000 was principal.

482
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:30,180
The remaining principal balance on that bond issue, when it was paid, is $950,000.

483
00:35:31,180 --> 00:35:36,460
So we've made five annual principal payments, there's 10 payments that we made, and the maturity

484
00:35:36,460 --> 00:35:43,440
data of that bond issue was August 15, 236, and those payments I made by Chuck.

485
00:35:43,740 --> 00:35:46,540
So, if those in annual payments, will we order a collision there?

486
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:51,960
Yeah, well actually there's two interest payments, one do in February, and then the principal

487
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:58,880
Well, and interest is due in our, well, from fiscal, because we, we've been repayment

488
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:03,780
100, 100, 100, 90, which is 89 percent of the budget.

489
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,740
Is that the only payment for this fiscal, for the, on the, on the price level?

490
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:10,000
Yeah.

491
00:36:14,140 --> 00:36:17,740
But we still have 10 principal payments remaining on that bond issue.

492
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,980
So the difference between that and the payment is, there's 15,000 left,

493
00:36:21,980 --> 00:36:23,960
that interest I were expecting.

494
00:36:26,730 --> 00:36:27,270
The 15?

495
00:36:27,730 --> 00:36:31,930
Yeah, because we made 100, we had a budget 127, so.

496
00:36:32,110 --> 00:36:33,590
So, OK, so we're going to, OK, so that's

497
00:36:33,590 --> 00:36:34,990
going to be one one, budget questions.

498
00:36:36,110 --> 00:36:40,210
And the other bond issue that came to do in August was

499
00:36:40,210 --> 00:36:42,930
the Municipal Energy Upgrade with Diamond Bank.

500
00:36:43,010 --> 00:36:48,530
And that, hopefully, in 10, 20 of 2019 for 2008, 2000,

501
00:36:49,930 --> 00:36:53,570
total amount of that was 324,480, 17,

502
00:36:53,570 --> 00:36:59,850
which included interest. That rate was 2.75% the 10 years. So there was a principle payment,

503
00:37:00,110 --> 00:37:05,670
just like the capital improvements. Two interest payments, one do in February, the other one

504
00:37:05,670 --> 00:37:12,270
do in August. So this was a principle and interest payment that was due in August. So the total

505
00:37:12,270 --> 00:37:21,970
is $29,751,28,200. That was principal. The rest was interest. So we have seven annual payments

506
00:37:21,970 --> 00:37:29,130
is made and there's three payments remain and that remaining principal balance is 84,600.

507
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,640
That will come due at August 15th, 2020. That's paid by CHECK also.

508
00:37:35,700 --> 00:37:40,480
The municipal energy is $1.751, with principal and interest.

509
00:37:41,300 --> 00:37:43,120
Yes, and that's the only principal panel we're making.

510
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:44,640
Yes. So, Santa.

511
00:37:45,060 --> 00:37:50,120
Yeah, the same principal and if this is made in an August 15th, it February is just interesting.

512
00:37:55,940 --> 00:37:59,620
And just as far as other notes, we did have, there was a quarterly pension meeting.

513
00:37:59,620 --> 00:38:11,400
was scheduled for September 4th. That was canceled. We do. There are some pending conflicts with several members, so that will have to be really stable.

514
00:38:21,020 --> 00:38:22,060
Thank you.

515
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,960
Good question for Tom.

516
00:38:27,230 --> 00:38:29,470
I just want to talk to the reschedule.

517
00:38:31,490 --> 00:38:32,330
Is that the door?

518
00:38:33,490 --> 00:38:34,970
The cool thing I get to call it.

519
00:38:35,230 --> 00:38:39,590
My self is first calling and the reschedule.

520
00:38:40,690 --> 00:38:43,410
I know he's been in touch with you at several times.

521
00:38:43,410 --> 00:38:46,410
if you want me to follow up on that, I will.

522
00:38:47,610 --> 00:38:48,270
How do you do that?

523
00:38:48,370 --> 00:38:49,290
Are you going to do that?

524
00:38:49,770 --> 00:38:51,410
I'll touch base with you and we can decide.

525
00:38:52,730 --> 00:38:54,290
That's about to be helpful if you do it now.

526
00:38:55,370 --> 00:38:57,910
You travel with such a big committee.

527
00:38:59,390 --> 00:39:00,590
Her heart got to meet some confidence.

528
00:39:02,190 --> 00:39:06,150
So in that particular case, it was, as Carol said,

529
00:39:06,290 --> 00:39:08,530
it was just a amount of labor days.

530
00:39:08,530 --> 00:39:13,250
So, yeah, probably as long as you're going to want to enjoy the digital disconnection

531
00:39:13,250 --> 00:39:15,790
meetings, I'm going to cancel the contract.

532
00:39:17,350 --> 00:39:18,730
Okay, I'll be in touch with Jeremy that.

533
00:39:21,430 --> 00:39:27,570
All right, if no other questions or time the next item on our agenda is a lot of results

534
00:39:27,570 --> 00:39:30,130
for 24 and 25.

535
00:39:30,690 --> 00:39:36,450
I'm going to say that we might do a little more here to present to us.

536
00:39:38,990 --> 00:39:46,570
The partner and senior managers who are on a table, you guys have been auditing that for a long time.

537
00:39:47,850 --> 00:39:50,650
Yes, quite a few years.

538
00:39:51,550 --> 00:39:52,330
And thank you very much.

539
00:39:52,530 --> 00:39:53,690
Again, my name is Mike Medivator.

540
00:39:54,310 --> 00:39:55,370
I'm a partner and I'm on a table.

541
00:39:55,870 --> 00:40:01,670
I hope that you're responsible for overseeing the artwork and issuing reports on behalf of the firm.

542
00:40:01,670 --> 00:40:08,930
Again, the form seen as the senior manager at the firm really responsible for the day they execution of our audit procedures.

543
00:40:10,830 --> 00:40:15,390
So, happy to be here to present results in the town's fiscal year 2025 audit.

544
00:40:17,250 --> 00:40:18,290
I have a presentation.

545
00:40:19,350 --> 00:40:22,630
You should have received electronic copies of the draft reports.

546
00:40:23,530 --> 00:40:27,930
Again, this presentation really provides a summary of your reports.

547
00:40:29,050 --> 00:40:33,090
And ultimately, we are substantially completely view-eye.

548
00:40:33,490 --> 00:40:37,170
We do tend to issue the financial statements by the end of the month.

549
00:40:37,970 --> 00:40:40,890
There's just some internal reviews and external reviews,

550
00:40:41,210 --> 00:40:45,030
just to put the final touches on those reports before we issue.

551
00:40:45,750 --> 00:40:48,310
But with that, I'll cover the scope of work.

552
00:40:48,450 --> 00:40:50,350
There are a lot of reports that will be issued.

553
00:40:50,910 --> 00:40:52,550
I'll provide some overall financial highlights.

554
00:40:53,010 --> 00:40:54,310
I'll make our required communications.

555
00:40:54,310 --> 00:40:58,870
And again, happy to answer any questions that the board members are going to have.

556
00:40:59,870 --> 00:41:03,050
As far as the scope of work, again, no changes for prior years.

557
00:41:03,250 --> 00:41:07,130
We did do an audit of the Council and I'm interested in this importance with both the auditing

558
00:41:07,130 --> 00:41:12,350
standards issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts, as well as the government

559
00:41:12,350 --> 00:41:15,690
auditing standards issued by the government accountability office.

560
00:41:16,550 --> 00:41:20,750
In addition, based on the level of state funding that was received and expanded by the

561
00:41:20,750 --> 00:41:28,520
We did perform the state single audit that audits performed in accordance with the OEM compliance supplement to the state single audit

562
00:41:29,470 --> 00:41:35,750
In addition, we do also perform an agreed upon procedures engagement for the elementary school

563
00:41:35,750 --> 00:41:39,390
Again, those procedures are required by the state of Connecticut department

564
00:41:41,010 --> 00:41:42,250
All right

565
00:41:42,250 --> 00:41:46,200
In addition to those what we call a test services, we're actually testing to

566
00:41:47,070 --> 00:41:48,730
the financial statements

567
00:41:48,730 --> 00:41:52,770
or preparing a re-home procedure to the open.

568
00:41:53,670 --> 00:41:56,170
We also perform some non-awaited services for the towns.

569
00:41:56,270 --> 00:41:58,850
We do assist in the preparation of the financial statements,

570
00:41:59,450 --> 00:42:01,710
the schedule of expenditures of state financial assistance,

571
00:42:01,790 --> 00:42:02,710
and we're leading notes.

572
00:42:03,330 --> 00:42:06,590
We also assist the town converting its governmental fund financial statements

573
00:42:06,590 --> 00:42:08,570
to the government-wide financial statements.

574
00:42:09,110 --> 00:42:12,170
In order for our firm to be able to perform these non-awaited services

575
00:42:12,170 --> 00:42:14,590
and remain independent of the town,

576
00:42:15,010 --> 00:42:17,810
management is required to accept responsibility

577
00:42:17,810 --> 00:42:23,570
for those services. Again, Paul and the role of the finance director, and then Bob Grissum,

578
00:42:23,570 --> 00:42:27,830
over at the regional school district, we'll ultimately accept responsibility for those

579
00:42:27,830 --> 00:42:29,410
non-ologists services.

580
00:42:30,230 --> 00:42:31,210
Do you have something to do with that?

581
00:42:31,590 --> 00:42:34,590
All we've done for the Board of Health, the Board of Health, the Board of Health, the Board of

582
00:42:34,590 --> 00:42:35,210
Health, the Board of Health, the Board of Health, the Board of Health.

583
00:42:35,270 --> 00:42:36,510
Yes, it's at the beginning of time.

584
00:42:37,070 --> 00:42:43,530
Yeah. Yeah. I would say we do probably, you know, between 25 and 30 governmental engagements,

585
00:42:43,530 --> 00:42:47,590
and probably 99% of them will be perform those non-modesters.

586
00:42:48,150 --> 00:42:49,650
Okay, so this isn't any of you.

587
00:42:50,690 --> 00:42:50,850
Yeah.

588
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:54,180
All right.

589
00:42:54,540 --> 00:42:57,500
In connection with our work, we do wish you a number of reports.

590
00:42:58,220 --> 00:43:00,440
In terms of the report on the financial statements,

591
00:43:01,180 --> 00:43:05,200
we will be issuing unmodified clean opinions on the House financial statements.

592
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,740
An unmodified opinion is expressed when we've concluded that the financial statements

593
00:43:09,740 --> 00:43:14,600
have been fairly presented in all material respects in accordance with the count of principles

594
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:19,580
generally accepted in the United States, and that's established by the governmental accounting

595
00:43:19,580 --> 00:43:21,120
standard for it.

596
00:43:21,780 --> 00:43:27,280
One thing that you will see different in this year's audit report is our opinion doesn't

597
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:32,240
include an emphasis of a mad paragraph, and all that does is strong attention to the implementation

598
00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:33,540
of a new accounting standard.

599
00:43:33,660 --> 00:43:40,240
Gatsby statement number 101, again, that has no impact on our overall opinion.

600
00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:45,240
We just highlight that there was a new account principle that we have to during the year.

601
00:43:45,900 --> 00:43:46,620
That's us.

602
00:43:46,860 --> 00:43:47,840
We need to thank you for the system.

603
00:43:48,140 --> 00:43:48,700
We need to know that.

604
00:43:49,300 --> 00:43:49,660
No.

605
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:55,760
There's always a new accounting policy standard on compensated absences, which is for a crew.

606
00:43:55,780 --> 00:43:57,160
A crew vacation is a time.

607
00:43:57,940 --> 00:44:00,620
Really impacted the school district more than the time.

608
00:44:01,300 --> 00:44:01,480
Got it.

609
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:09,700
What thing I like to point out is that our opinion does provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from a material

610
00:44:09,700 --> 00:44:14,800
the statement whether due to error or fraud, can we're not providing absolute assurance, we're

611
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:20,080
not testing every transaction, but we do utilize sampling in our own methodology. The financial

612
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:25,000
statements do include estimates and therefore we cannot provide absolute assurance. Again,

613
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:29,120
reasonable assurance is still a high level of assurance. Also, just want to mention, if you

614
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:35,540
do read the opinion, the risk of not detecting a material statement resulting from fraud is higher

615
00:44:35,540 --> 00:44:37,980
and one that is resulting from error.

616
00:44:38,540 --> 00:44:40,460
And that's because fraud involves collusion,

617
00:44:40,780 --> 00:44:42,360
forgery, intentional emissions,

618
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,740
misrepresentations, or the override of the trust control.

619
00:44:46,420 --> 00:44:47,540
So again, those are from the court

620
00:44:47,540 --> 00:44:50,000
and pieces of the of the audit page.

621
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,300
In addition to the report on the financial statements,

622
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:57,880
we issue a report on compliance

623
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,980
and on internal control over finance.

624
00:45:00,820 --> 00:45:10,500
And this report, we don't actually express an opinion on the town's compliance with laws and regulations, or on the effectiveness of the town's internal controls.

625
00:45:10,500 --> 00:45:14,480
Essentially, during the course of performing the audit, if we identify what we consider

626
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:19,440
the material, not compliance with law and regulations, or a significant deficiency or

627
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:25,300
material weakness in the roles required to include it in this report.

628
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:31,020
Again, we did report two findings over internal control over financial reporting.

629
00:45:31,620 --> 00:45:33,900
The first one is a material weakness in internal controls.

630
00:45:34,660 --> 00:45:38,600
There was a significant number of audit adjustments that were proposed and recorded to

631
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:45,640
to financial statements. In addition, we are also reporting a significant deficiency in internal control

632
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:51,580
over budgetary monitoring. There were certain departments that did exceed the overall approved

633
00:45:51,580 --> 00:45:56,920
appropriations for their departments. Again, you did not overspend your budget, so we did not

634
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:04,960
consider material documents. But again, it does represent a deficiency. In the single laws reports,

635
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,640
there are detailed descriptions of the findings, including our overall recommendations.

636
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:15,380
So, guys, I just encourage you as support members to review those findings, review those recommendations,

637
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:20,440
and work with management in overseeing the corrective action plan.

638
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,400
That's required to rely on the way of the Office of Policy, and then if you're presiding me.

639
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,890
That's what I'm going to ask the judge for the report.

640
00:46:30,310 --> 00:46:34,370
That's open above what you talked about earlier as far as your involvement

641
00:46:34,370 --> 00:46:39,030
and not on what it should be, it's correct, okay, correct, yeah.

642
00:46:39,710 --> 00:46:44,410
No, I go to question the material weakness, looking back,

643
00:46:45,110 --> 00:46:48,770
we have a head of seeing problem in one-and-one audience.

644
00:46:50,750 --> 00:46:52,270
And I'm assuming we're going to report those up.

645
00:46:52,590 --> 00:46:54,570
And this may be a question for us as a board

646
00:46:54,570 --> 00:46:56,530
more than strictly from a whole disabled.

647
00:46:57,550 --> 00:46:59,350
I'd like us to pick up at some point,

648
00:46:59,470 --> 00:47:02,490
what our responsibility is in what that

649
00:47:02,490 --> 00:47:07,650
Now, the plan, the development of the plan that goes to the office of policy and management,

650
00:47:08,770 --> 00:47:13,870
and then who has over-site for that is that the government is that the board of finance,

651
00:47:15,050 --> 00:47:19,590
because it is concerned that it's almost verbatim, I'm just going to just take that the note

652
00:47:19,590 --> 00:47:27,530
is in the 2020-2022-23 audit, we get the same problem on our desk, and of course we have

653
00:47:27,530 --> 00:47:32,470
a question for that way to be, it appears we have some processes that we look at,

654
00:47:32,470 --> 00:47:38,650
might be up. And if this York Times would do that right on the day to the result we could

655
00:47:38,650 --> 00:47:43,750
come in and assess our processes to see what will happen in these problems.

656
00:47:44,790 --> 00:47:50,290
Sure, a lot of them will relate to kind of your and reconciliation type issues.

657
00:47:51,390 --> 00:47:55,050
Again, the governmental financial statements are very complex.

658
00:47:56,450 --> 00:48:00,290
They include not just reconciliation, it's the happened within your general ledger,

659
00:48:00,290 --> 00:48:05,350
but also what I'll call like top-sided reconciliation is really good to capital assets and

660
00:48:05,350 --> 00:48:06,350
launching my abilities.

661
00:48:08,090 --> 00:48:12,670
So a lot of the deficiencies relate to that kind of year-end reconciliation process.

662
00:48:14,190 --> 00:48:18,650
I think this has been a finding that's been repeated for a number of years.

663
00:48:20,850 --> 00:48:28,970
I think you have the new accounting system, you have the finance director, I think that hopefully

664
00:48:28,970 --> 00:48:36,250
with some stability within the finance department, a lot of these deficiencies can be addressed.

665
00:48:37,170 --> 00:48:40,170
But again, that's something I think you have to work with the finance director.

666
00:48:40,390 --> 00:48:44,870
Let's continue this conversation a little bit because it's important and everybody fully understood.

667
00:48:44,890 --> 00:48:47,570
Our release gives an appreciation for what's going on.

668
00:48:47,810 --> 00:48:49,010
One last second, correct me.

669
00:48:49,670 --> 00:48:51,030
If you guys see differently.

670
00:48:51,610 --> 00:48:53,370
So this is the 24, 24, 24.

671
00:48:55,710 --> 00:49:04,010
We put in place a new system and I'm looking for comments from you guys as far as your experience with the new system.

672
00:49:04,450 --> 00:49:08,570
We lost the finance director and middle of implementing that system.

673
00:49:09,470 --> 00:49:13,230
We only had a clerk for six months.

674
00:49:13,230 --> 00:49:21,490
Our reconciliation, we've got further and further behind us, I mean we have a lot of still

675
00:49:21,490 --> 00:49:24,130
bank reconciliation as I need to be kind enough.

676
00:49:24,470 --> 00:49:30,790
So we felt at a critical time putting a new system, like the wheels kind of came off.

677
00:49:31,510 --> 00:49:35,910
And then Paula brought on and she's digging us out.

678
00:49:36,630 --> 00:49:45,810
So, I guess in what Katie is saying, do we have the right resources in your opinion right now?

679
00:49:46,250 --> 00:49:52,670
Because when you fall behind and then you break someone in, they have to keep up with the current information.

680
00:49:52,970 --> 00:50:00,190
You know, accounting and entries and data they work and in some cases on a phone for hours trying to get systems to work.

681
00:50:00,790 --> 00:50:05,010
So, do we have the right resources to catch up?

682
00:50:05,770 --> 00:50:09,470
Because I personally have confidence once we catch up.

683
00:50:09,710 --> 00:50:12,430
I will keep the ship going in the right direction.

684
00:50:13,570 --> 00:50:17,590
But in your opinion, what do we need to do here to have to try to?

685
00:50:17,690 --> 00:50:20,030
Yeah, well, I'm going to use the connection with this slide.

686
00:50:20,350 --> 00:50:23,670
I know you have to bring in some additional resources to assist with burning the bank

687
00:50:23,670 --> 00:50:30,390
reconciliation of the date. They didn't necessarily assist in doing some of the other kind of

688
00:50:30,390 --> 00:50:37,990
close out of the fiscal year 2025 balances. Again, Paul was not here for that year-end

689
00:50:37,990 --> 00:50:46,510
period. So a lot of those kind of reconciliation required investigating trying to figure out what

690
00:50:46,510 --> 00:50:48,310
happen, those sorts of things.

691
00:50:49,350 --> 00:50:52,950
I don't think that you have sufficient resources right now

692
00:50:52,950 --> 00:50:56,870
to probably dig yourself out of the fiscal year,

693
00:50:56,870 --> 00:50:58,290
2026 clothes.

694
00:50:59,270 --> 00:51:01,010
But again, that's something that you would have to kind

695
00:51:01,010 --> 00:51:02,850
of discuss with, was Carolyn Paula.

696
00:51:04,670 --> 00:51:09,270
Because it is very difficult to bring those

697
00:51:09,270 --> 00:51:13,730
reconciliation up the day while keeping the day-to-day

698
00:51:13,730 --> 00:51:18,770
operations going. There's a lot of requirements for regarding budgets and grant compliance.

699
00:51:20,030 --> 00:51:22,410
So there's a lot of factors that impact that.

700
00:51:23,050 --> 00:51:28,310
Good person, I'm certain that if we don't address the resource issue and get the

701
00:51:28,310 --> 00:51:33,050
ship right in, we've got, I can attest this, I'm sure you can do here.

702
00:51:33,850 --> 00:51:39,530
Our client first is here until 89 o'clock at night, many nights and working weekend.

703
00:51:39,530 --> 00:51:43,390
So the fear is, we're probably going to get the same comments

704
00:51:43,390 --> 00:51:47,130
that the mix of all of it, and by the time

705
00:51:47,130 --> 00:51:49,950
the focus is getting anything done for the mix of all of it,

706
00:51:50,250 --> 00:51:52,090
I think we soon have the September bubble.

707
00:51:52,390 --> 00:51:55,130
Well, basically sitting here asking the same questions

708
00:51:55,130 --> 00:51:59,930
unless we address what needs to get cleaned up

709
00:51:59,930 --> 00:52:01,070
in order to stabilize.

710
00:52:01,450 --> 00:52:03,770
On here, if you know what needs to be cleaned up,

711
00:52:03,890 --> 00:52:06,130
we just don't have the resources to clean up.

712
00:52:06,250 --> 00:52:07,970
Is that what it is, where is it?

713
00:52:07,970 --> 00:52:11,390
I think they know and fall in those.

714
00:52:11,970 --> 00:52:14,730
I know that in certain situations, that's as much as I know.

715
00:52:14,990 --> 00:52:15,710
I don't know how many of you have.

716
00:52:16,030 --> 00:52:21,090
So I think, all of us never articulate, you know, all these kind of things.

717
00:52:21,630 --> 00:52:23,650
This is the thing that this is the thing that this needs to come down.

718
00:52:24,250 --> 00:52:26,930
So I think you know, if you guys know,

719
00:52:27,330 --> 00:52:29,850
I don't think this is the total burden of those things.

720
00:52:31,460 --> 00:52:43,280
And I think it's important that we know, so that we can address the resource issues, so we're not in both where we're still in a way in any one's for the next one, and not on.

721
00:52:45,340 --> 00:53:00,020
So I'm talking a lot here, or can you follow on your point of view, but it comes to, if you see the term of control over a budgetary moderate rate, and I think that kind of falls back in us, but also the management of this is your budget.

722
00:53:00,020 --> 00:53:04,880
We don't pull over it unless you ask permission, and that hasn't really been going on.

723
00:53:06,300 --> 00:53:06,780
That.

724
00:53:07,300 --> 00:53:08,320
That's the second part.

725
00:53:08,500 --> 00:53:08,880
So hang in there.

726
00:53:09,240 --> 00:53:10,080
Hang in there for a second.

727
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:10,980
Does that work?

728
00:53:11,220 --> 00:53:12,300
That falls in the dark camp.

729
00:53:12,580 --> 00:53:12,900
I'm going to go in there.

730
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:14,060
This is the first one.

731
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:19,460
I want to make sure everybody fully understands that unless we put a list together, everything

732
00:53:19,460 --> 00:53:22,140
that needs to get done, and the resource is required.

733
00:53:22,980 --> 00:53:27,720
And then, unfortunately, probably find some finances to support those resources.

734
00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:29,900
And in doubt, can you view our lives?

735
00:53:30,340 --> 00:53:31,200
Absolutely, a reason.

736
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:33,000
I agree.

737
00:53:33,220 --> 00:53:35,000
Don't get the resources if you get caught.

738
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:37,980
You're just going to part of it.

739
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:39,860
That means that they have a little burn-out fault.

740
00:53:40,420 --> 00:53:41,600
We don't want to do that.

741
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:43,920
That thing said though, we approved resources.

742
00:53:44,620 --> 00:53:47,200
How many months ago we thought we were going to clean up,

743
00:53:47,300 --> 00:53:47,780
but we're not.

744
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,360
So do we need to double what we put in?

745
00:53:52,300 --> 00:53:53,960
What do we need to do?

746
00:53:53,980 --> 00:53:55,180
No, I don't know.

747
00:53:55,340 --> 00:53:57,700
I don't know.

748
00:53:57,700 --> 00:54:07,940
money that was authorized to spend, is actually to help get records ready for the 24th of July.

749
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:12,920
So we need to clean up and then we need to get at least sources to get us ready for the 2526.

750
00:54:13,340 --> 00:54:14,320
Two chunks of resources.

751
00:54:16,060 --> 00:54:19,580
So, so Paul, for instance, the main record situation we did for this one.

752
00:54:20,820 --> 00:54:22,840
How far back were they on record side?

753
00:54:24,540 --> 00:54:25,040
1224.

754
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:30,800
July 2024, so we have to be brought help in to go to July 24, 24, 24,

755
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:35,560
too. I did the majority of them, but people came in and did

756
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:40,180
Gotcha, over the time. Yes, another few months, and it's actually done

757
00:54:40,180 --> 00:54:48,300
through August of 2025. WPCA, I didn't mind you guys know, that's further in, that's

758
00:54:48,300 --> 00:54:55,100
or believe people from the seared bottom yet down on these bottom lines, and that's the largest one.

759
00:54:55,340 --> 00:55:04,300
So I'll give us a suggestion. Maybe if Paul, you can put down what needs to get done to get us to quad up.

760
00:55:05,260 --> 00:55:09,740
And what resources required is to set up possible.

761
00:55:12,730 --> 00:55:17,950
Definitely need help with the bank press. You don't want those now, do you?

762
00:55:17,950 --> 00:55:18,750
No, no, no.

763
00:55:18,750 --> 00:55:19,890
You want you to think a lot.

764
00:55:20,410 --> 00:55:20,430
Yeah.

765
00:55:20,430 --> 00:55:22,410
Come in with the list and then we'll put a number of guests

766
00:55:22,410 --> 00:55:23,450
if they will vote for you.

767
00:55:23,450 --> 00:55:25,610
Because what I'd like to do to be able to present that

768
00:55:25,610 --> 00:55:27,850
in our total reading and say, OK, here, here,

769
00:55:27,850 --> 00:55:30,330
there's a thing that you need to get done that are behind

770
00:55:30,330 --> 00:55:33,490
because of the all that things that happen in the past.

771
00:55:33,870 --> 00:55:36,650
This is the resources required for them.

772
00:55:37,010 --> 00:55:38,470
And then that's the meaning of price by them.

773
00:55:38,490 --> 00:55:40,830
And then we can discuss the debate on security.

774
00:55:41,030 --> 00:55:42,290
That's a good approach to him.

775
00:55:43,490 --> 00:55:45,770
Because it's getting increasingly uncomfortable

776
00:55:45,770 --> 00:55:51,730
the city in this financial role, when we see the budget report for the current month, we don't

777
00:55:51,730 --> 00:55:54,910
have this. And let's do what's necessary.

778
00:55:55,990 --> 00:56:00,550
I guess that's what I'm recommending to it. We can't keep on going like this.

779
00:56:00,850 --> 00:56:04,030
Yeah, the more common I will make is obviously you did a system implementation.

780
00:56:04,970 --> 00:56:06,330
There was what, like a meteor implementation.

781
00:56:08,050 --> 00:56:14,370
And so that implementation, there was definitely issues with some of the uploading of the

782
00:56:14,370 --> 00:56:18,650
information from the old system, you know, from an audit perspective, we were trying to audit

783
00:56:18,650 --> 00:56:25,890
two systems, so there was some additional complexities associated with the FY25 audit related

784
00:56:25,890 --> 00:56:31,130
to that system implementation, but hopefully because, you know, you have your process and procedures

785
00:56:31,130 --> 00:56:36,050
moving forward under daily transactions, things are being coded to the correct accounts,

786
00:56:36,630 --> 00:56:40,890
those reconciliation should be a lot easier to do in your system.

787
00:56:40,890 --> 00:56:43,470
and a year experience with system of limitations.

788
00:56:44,250 --> 00:56:45,650
How many of them go perfect?

789
00:56:46,390 --> 00:56:47,610
No, no, no.

790
00:56:48,530 --> 00:56:50,790
How many of them are you, you know,

791
00:56:50,910 --> 00:56:51,710
have problems?

792
00:56:52,370 --> 00:56:53,090
All of them.

793
00:56:53,890 --> 00:56:56,250
How many more people meant it without a finance director?

794
00:56:57,570 --> 00:56:59,070
Not any, no, no, no, no.

795
00:56:59,330 --> 00:57:01,590
It's a stupid question, but it's an outspotion.

796
00:57:02,510 --> 00:57:05,990
So we were crazy to be able to make a system

797
00:57:05,990 --> 00:57:07,730
and we didn't expect the finance director.

798
00:57:08,230 --> 00:57:10,530
Right, that's a recipe for disaster.

799
00:57:10,530 --> 00:57:13,710
And then it took us months and months to get a finance director.

800
00:57:15,590 --> 00:57:21,270
So I just say this because I want people to understand she's working really hard.

801
00:57:22,590 --> 00:57:24,650
But she probably doesn't have a chance unless we help her.

802
00:57:25,050 --> 00:57:30,230
And I do think just from a more perspective again, so you did approve a new accounting system.

803
00:57:31,190 --> 00:57:33,970
I think that was definitely needed.

804
00:57:34,490 --> 00:57:37,130
The old system was no longer really functioning.

805
00:57:38,110 --> 00:57:41,810
So, the new system is part of that pressure reaction plan.

806
00:57:42,230 --> 00:57:44,930
Getting caught up is part of that pressure reaction plan.

807
00:57:45,930 --> 00:57:49,210
And then, I think at that point, you'd be able to assess your current resources

808
00:57:49,210 --> 00:57:53,950
and determine whether or not that's sufficient to kind of maintain the day-to-day operations.

809
00:57:55,690 --> 00:57:58,530
All right. So, before we jump to the number two, does anyone have any other questions?

810
00:57:58,870 --> 00:58:03,190
But not only quick questions, but do you know what the resource that kind of comes in

811
00:58:03,190 --> 00:58:05,510
that does that lucky for me?

812
00:58:05,510 --> 00:58:08,650
I mean, we've recommended, we have some dollars.

813
00:58:09,270 --> 00:58:10,570
We don't have the fund.

814
00:58:11,910 --> 00:58:13,650
Unfortunately, it is expensive.

815
00:58:14,630 --> 00:58:18,410
Any time you're hiring consultant to come in and assist with that.

816
00:58:18,530 --> 00:58:19,590
OK, thank you.

817
00:58:19,990 --> 00:58:21,330
And so that's number one I read.

818
00:58:21,490 --> 00:58:25,670
I was just going to ask, are we going to like the last town in the state too?

819
00:58:25,970 --> 00:58:26,290
OK.

820
00:58:26,990 --> 00:58:29,050
There's, there's some towns that probably haven't filed.

821
00:58:29,430 --> 00:58:31,430
There's fiscal year 2024 on its way.

822
00:58:31,430 --> 00:58:35,210
And is there any consequence from the state where you're late in the past?

823
00:58:35,590 --> 00:58:38,690
No, they do provide some oversights.

824
00:58:38,830 --> 00:58:43,310
I mean, the town of Newford River has not under there.

825
00:58:43,370 --> 00:58:46,990
There's a few of you, but they'll assess the corrective action plans

826
00:58:46,990 --> 00:58:48,670
and the issues, the timing of the findings.

827
00:58:50,030 --> 00:58:54,310
So we've actually had two other municipalities that we filed within the last

828
00:58:54,310 --> 00:58:55,850
probably 15, 20 days.

829
00:58:56,890 --> 00:58:59,350
But we're definitely in a group being a good.

830
00:58:59,650 --> 00:59:00,150
Correct.

831
00:59:00,150 --> 00:59:06,110
Yeah, but I tell my friends, you don't want to go past, you know, June 30th of the previous

832
00:59:06,110 --> 00:59:07,130
school year.

833
00:59:07,770 --> 00:59:13,210
And it just says that as a guidance, I ask those guys, so in their group, as six is what

834
00:59:13,210 --> 00:59:19,790
I'll say, world's best in class and they get there done in November now, you know, good

835
00:59:19,790 --> 00:59:21,050
for them, we'll we're not there.

836
00:59:21,730 --> 00:59:27,050
And then the state recommends within six months, the same will give you six months worth

837
00:59:27,510 --> 00:59:33,410
extensions. And then after that, technically you're not compliant, and that's when they

838
00:59:33,410 --> 00:59:37,150
start kind of monitoring a little bit more so we have to... So we now know the life, because

839
00:59:37,150 --> 00:59:41,110
it should have been huge dirt yet. Correct. So the last piece of additional information,

840
00:59:41,670 --> 00:59:46,250
you know, they want to get a better understanding of what's holding up the audit. And if, you know,

841
00:59:46,310 --> 00:59:51,630
they assess the need to step in the will, but again, you're not at that. But we're basically

842
00:59:51,630 --> 00:59:56,630
in a fourth water, if you have the of your roots, I'm looking just your roots.

843
00:59:57,530 --> 00:59:57,750
Yeah.

844
00:59:58,430 --> 00:59:58,730
Yeah.

845
01:00:02,140 --> 01:00:07,000
We don't want you there, either. Before we move on with this case, could we just address?

846
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:10,240
Okay, I have a number one.

847
01:00:10,660 --> 01:00:11,500
Any other questions?

848
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:13,460
Any other question?

849
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:14,100
Number one.

850
01:00:15,500 --> 01:00:21,180
The second one, to my point, significant deficiencies in internal control of both two monitoring.

851
01:00:22,340 --> 01:00:28,260
So, first, from a clear key, what that means is, but here's my perception.

852
01:00:28,260 --> 01:00:39,220
is we, and this should be for my help up, but in this meeting, every month we meet, we look at the budget, we discuss it, we flag issues, we debate it, we discuss it.

853
01:00:39,460 --> 01:00:43,900
The deficiency of describing is exactly what happened, that caused a deficiency.

854
01:00:45,220 --> 01:00:52,240
So, there's, there's department expenditures that exceeded the appropriation that was approved for that department.

855
01:00:53,780 --> 01:01:04,520
And in most cases, we would see some kind of discussion in the minutes about it, but we didn't necessarily, we did see the approval to move money to cover those approaches.

856
01:01:05,140 --> 01:01:14,500
So what should happen is because this is for us to go forward. We have discussions. We flag things that are over. We discuss why it happened.

857
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:26,320
And we're required to then move budget money around to if that's what we decided to do with the cover it.

858
01:01:27,020 --> 01:01:33,180
We have the ability and the authority to move money within the budget.

859
01:01:33,500 --> 01:01:37,900
We don't have the authority to go over the total budget without going to the time.

860
01:01:37,900 --> 01:01:46,140
up to, I think it's 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, okay. So what this board is going

861
01:01:46,140 --> 01:01:50,540
forward, what we do is as we monitor the budget, in fact we have to do it for last

862
01:01:50,540 --> 01:01:54,640
fiscal year, we have to kind of put the ball on it, is look at where we overspend,

863
01:01:56,040 --> 01:02:01,580
and reallocate budgets as it closed out for the last fiscal year. And then is it best

864
01:02:01,580 --> 01:02:06,480
practice to do it in the month that happens? Is that best practice or not? Or do you

865
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,100
things better away.

866
01:02:09,860 --> 01:02:12,800
Yeah, so there's the statute to tell you,

867
01:02:12,900 --> 01:02:15,680
you need to get the approval before you overspend.

868
01:02:16,540 --> 01:02:20,500
The reality is with meeting monthly and working

869
01:02:20,500 --> 01:02:21,640
with various departments.

870
01:02:23,220 --> 01:02:26,020
To me, it's all about communication and developing

871
01:02:26,020 --> 01:02:28,660
a process that you're comfortable with as a board.

872
01:02:29,620 --> 01:02:33,220
So for example, Carol could come to the board and say,

873
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:34,900
you know, I know we're going to be over budget

874
01:02:34,900 --> 01:02:40,120
in this department, but we intend to cover it here, we have savings, you may kind of

875
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:44,140
we don't move it to make sure that's nothing else changes before you make those approvals,

876
01:02:45,180 --> 01:02:50,520
but certainly you should be aware of those overages, and then ultimately they shouldn't be approved.

877
01:02:53,700 --> 01:02:55,400
Yeah, I'm going to leave your question to be on.

878
01:02:56,100 --> 01:03:00,720
Well, I think this thing at my point is like if the departments have due to communication with

879
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:04,520
the select and like they were in a whole or they need to convey that to us.

880
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,480
So like that, and then that needs to be conveyed to us, not just by

881
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:11,000
while adding on invoices out, and we don't know how much they're going to be, but you'll

882
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:12,280
have to deal with it when they all commit.

883
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,960
That's not how usual towns run in digital legislatures.

884
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:20,380
If you're in a world where you need to add permission that order finance needs to grant you

885
01:03:20,380 --> 01:03:21,640
the permission that you're over.

886
01:03:22,300 --> 01:03:22,360
Correct.

887
01:03:22,500 --> 01:03:27,500
Because if you may say, you know, we don't think that you should be over spending that,

888
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:31,640
and you need to cut resources or do something on those lines kind of removes that

889
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,640
ability to monitor the budget, if you will.

890
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:35,960
I would like to.

891
01:03:36,140 --> 01:03:37,240
I would like to.

892
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:38,800
Any other questions?

893
01:03:39,260 --> 01:03:40,920
I don't want to.

894
01:03:41,420 --> 01:03:41,820
All right.

895
01:03:42,420 --> 01:03:42,620
Thanks.

896
01:03:42,780 --> 01:03:43,740
I've got to report that.

897
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:43,860
Yep.

898
01:03:44,300 --> 01:03:45,520
I just have a question.

899
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:47,800
The talent we found is for the pair of things,

900
01:03:48,020 --> 01:03:48,560
for the action.

901
01:03:49,620 --> 01:03:51,680
Who specifically does that?

902
01:03:51,740 --> 01:03:52,460
Is that us?

903
01:03:52,660 --> 01:03:55,560
It's a collaboration with Black people.

904
01:03:56,500 --> 01:03:56,640
Black people?

905
01:03:57,100 --> 01:03:57,560
So really?

906
01:03:57,880 --> 01:03:58,180
Yes.

907
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,400
It's the first Black person's responsibility.

908
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:05,080
So, right in consultation with the finance department,

909
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,780
we go oversight from the board of finance.

910
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,460
Yeah, so I see that as a management role,

911
01:04:10,700 --> 01:04:12,160
which opposed to that.

912
01:04:12,860 --> 01:04:13,160
Our role.

913
01:04:14,460 --> 01:04:15,740
We're going to get the role.

914
01:04:19,860 --> 01:04:20,680
All right.

915
01:04:21,660 --> 01:04:23,400
In connection with the state single loss audit,

916
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:24,940
we do wish to report on compliance

917
01:04:24,940 --> 01:04:28,100
and unnatural control at the state financial assistance level.

918
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,720
So, in this report, we do actually express an opinion on the

919
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:37,580
compliance with its major programs. For fiscal year 2025, the total state financial

920
01:04:37,580 --> 01:04:42,220
assistance that was received was approximately 1.9 million. The majority of that

921
01:04:42,220 --> 01:04:46,360
is your education fostering funds, which is not subject to the state-sing of

922
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:52,260
audience testing. The portion that was not exempt was just over 300,000. Your

923
01:04:52,260 --> 01:05:01,700
major programs was the Urban Act grants and the Municipal Grant Aid. We did a

924
01:05:01,700 --> 01:05:05,700
and we're not reporting any material weaknesses over grant compliance.

925
01:05:06,700 --> 01:05:12,320
In connection with our testing over the Urban Act grant, we did identify and

926
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:16,760
have what we considered to be an immaterial instance of not compliance regarding reporting

927
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:22,840
for that program. There was an untimely submission of the required file report for that program.

928
01:05:23,820 --> 01:05:28,000
So again, we're required to report that material instance of not compliance.

929
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:31,500
It doesn't impact our opinion on compliance with a program.

930
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,380
We spent the money the way it was supposed to be spent.

931
01:05:34,980 --> 01:05:37,420
So it's not as if not complying with that requirement.

932
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:42,240
Risks the grant or agency were sending your funding.

933
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,220
And then any time we have data financing since it's not complying,

934
01:05:47,380 --> 01:05:49,000
it's whether it's material or inventory.

935
01:05:50,340 --> 01:05:53,680
There's a deficiency that goes along with that process.

936
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,420
So we are also reporting a significant deficiency

937
01:05:56,420 --> 01:06:02,580
in internal control over grant reporting. Again, with a lot of turnover in the finance

938
01:06:02,580 --> 01:06:08,720
departments, it's easy for me to see how, you know, these things would have been missed.

939
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:13,630
Some of these grants are really old too. I think some of them were probably before your time.

940
01:06:14,340 --> 01:06:21,920
Yeah, so, but anyways, again, the recommendation is that from a reporting perspective, I think the

941
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:26,960
finance department should kind of maintain a schedule of all the grants that are received

942
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:32,260
by the town and the related reporting requirements for those grants.

943
01:06:32,700 --> 01:06:35,640
That way, it can be, again, monitored by the finance.

944
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:36,980
We don't have that enough.

945
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:38,060
You don't have a schedule.

946
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:40,980
I'm going to be forced to do it.

947
01:06:40,980 --> 01:06:41,960
I'm going to do it.

948
01:06:41,980 --> 01:06:42,180
Okay.

949
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:42,600
It's safe.

950
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:44,080
So we have a schedule.

951
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:45,620
Then all of that work.

952
01:06:45,660 --> 01:06:47,560
We monitor here at this meeting here.

953
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:48,860
Do I really want to do it?

954
01:06:48,860 --> 01:06:49,020
I don't.

955
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:49,500
I guess.

956
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:50,060
Yeah.

957
01:06:50,060 --> 01:06:53,240
So this goes back to 2000.

958
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:53,880
Okay.

959
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:54,560
When you go out.

960
01:06:56,440 --> 01:07:01,960
So again, there's probably a lot of deficiencies that we've kind of identified.

961
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:08,180
You can communicate to management that, again, all those probably are addressed to a lot of things within the final support.

962
01:07:09,260 --> 01:07:09,560
Yeah.

963
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:13,040
I think that the grants, because we did have a lot of falling through the cracks.

964
01:07:13,860 --> 01:07:16,660
You've made a nice Excel spreadsheet of when things are due.

965
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:18,720
And so we have a more on top of it now.

966
01:07:19,220 --> 01:07:27,100
And the other thing we've talked about, Paul is, again, we do that often in accordance with the OPM State Compliance Supplement.

967
01:07:27,860 --> 01:07:29,960
And so there's a supplement for each of those grand.

968
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:33,300
That will tell us what we need to test, including the reporting requirements.

969
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,260
So that's something that they should be checking as well.

970
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:48,320
Next action is over your financial highlights. Again, I know a lot of this information is old information,

971
01:07:49,260 --> 01:07:53,460
but the original budget for the general fund did plan for the use of fund balance in the amount of about

972
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:58,420
530,000 to balance your revenue and expenditures. During the year, you had additional

973
01:07:58,420 --> 01:08:05,000
appropriations of about 378,000 that resulted in the final plan use of fund balance in the amount

974
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:12,920
of 900,000. Your actual change in fund balance on a budgetary basis was a decrease of 96,000 so

975
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:19,340
that resulted in overall favorable budgetary variance of about 800 and 11,000. So again, if you

976
01:08:19,340 --> 01:08:23,680
spent everything that you approved and revenues came in as they were supposed to, you would

977
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:31,020
views 900 and 8,000 of your fund balance, but you actually ended up returning 800 and 11,000 to

978
01:08:31,020 --> 01:08:37,660
your fund balance. Overall, revenues and other financing sources were about 647 more than

979
01:08:37,660 --> 01:08:42,480
budgeted. You had favorable collections on property taxes and building permits, and then

980
01:08:42,480 --> 01:08:47,880
higher interest earnings on your short-term investments. And then overall, your expenditures were

981
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,040
about 140,000 less than a little budget.

982
01:08:56,460 --> 01:08:59,720
Next slide goes over your governmental fund financial highlights.

983
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,560
So this includes your general fund on a gap basis

984
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:06,680
as well as all of your special revenue and capital project funds.

985
01:09:07,260 --> 01:09:09,160
The town had combined in in fund balances

986
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:10,700
of about 5.2 million.

987
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:14,940
That was a decrease of about 260,000 from the prior year.

988
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,080
The majority of that is in your general fund.

989
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:21,260
The general fund had an ending fund balance of 3.6 million.

990
01:09:21,260 --> 01:09:28,580
of that amount, about 3.3 million was considered unassigned, and that represents about 15.5%

991
01:09:28,580 --> 01:09:33,920
or just about two months of your general fund budgetary expenditure appropriations.

992
01:09:35,540 --> 01:09:37,000
That's an important number, I think.

993
01:09:37,860 --> 01:09:40,460
So, 15.5%.

994
01:09:40,460 --> 01:09:45,500
What is considered good, you know, best in class, good and bad?

995
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,100
You know, what is there any guidance on?

996
01:09:48,100 --> 01:10:10,900
The GFOA issue is the government finance association that all government is making roughly two months of reserves on hand, regardless of size, and then depending on your municipal profile, you may want to have additional reserves on hand.

997
01:10:10,900 --> 01:10:24,020
So, again, if you're in an area that's prone to natural disasters or something like those lines, you may as a town or a board look to increase that minimum of that too much threshold.

998
01:10:24,940 --> 01:10:34,180
But you guys, you know, I think when we started the audit, your fund balance was around 7% or 6% so it was significantly lower than it is.

999
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:37,200
So at 15.5, we should feel pretty good about that.

1000
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:38,320
Yeah, it's good, I'm here.

1001
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:50,020
I'll tell you later, the rating ages, these will tell you it's too low, but I think the majority of this path is in Connecticut and look to meet that too much better.

1002
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:52,300
Yeah. Well, the benchmark is good guys.

1003
01:10:52,860 --> 01:10:53,000
Yeah, sure.

1004
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:54,480
All right.

1005
01:10:55,980 --> 01:11:00,420
But certainly to the extent you're following that guidance, you know, because I know there'll be questions about,

1006
01:11:00,420 --> 01:11:03,380
for a week over passing, or you know, something on those lines.

1007
01:11:03,980 --> 01:11:06,200
You know, you're right at that minimum threshold.

1008
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:17,680
Yeah, and then one of this might be in the weeds, but from free six to three, there were adjustments I was looking in a detail.

1009
01:11:17,980 --> 01:11:24,120
That gets you down to three, three, and I don't know if you have any funny of what there is.

1010
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:31,200
There's one for about 200,000, which is one of what that was, and I'll catch any of what I'm going to put in.

1011
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:38,600
So, if I can't answer from the information and the financials, it's certainly good for you.

1012
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,200
You know, I think it was a breakdown of what...

1013
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:52,120
Did you assign amounts to be used to balance your FY26 budget?

1014
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:55,660
I mean, balance your revenues and expenditures?

1015
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:57,640
Oh, did we assign?

1016
01:11:58,600 --> 01:11:59,840
That's what I think it is.

1017
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:07,240
So that's, yeah, because my question is, so last fiscal year's budget was a deficit budget.

1018
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:08,240
I think that's what you're saying.

1019
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:08,740
Perfect.

1020
01:12:08,740 --> 01:12:14,820
So you pick up that deficit and added to the fund balance as it's been airmarked.

1021
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,300
The reality is we collected about $2 million.

1022
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,260
I don't know what this, we were very, very, very, very favorite.

1023
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:29,700
So my question is, is there an opportunity, I guess 200,000 is only about 1 percentage point.

1024
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:36,960
difference, improve, but because we did so well on the budget, can you take that into consideration

1025
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,460
when you, with the final audit here or not?

1026
01:12:41,180 --> 01:12:44,760
No, we can until that money actually comes in.

1027
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:45,080
Right.

1028
01:12:45,260 --> 01:12:46,080
This has to come in.

1029
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:49,580
Well, I mean, in terms of, in the period that we're reporting on.

1030
01:12:50,060 --> 01:12:55,800
So you, as a Board certainly, can consider that, as you're making decisions moving forward,

1031
01:12:56,500 --> 01:12:57,580
but yeah, we can't reflect that.

1032
01:12:57,580 --> 01:13:06,280
The other thing I'm asking is, we're at 15-5, we did run as a deficit, you know, they have it in the water that we ran as a deficit.

1033
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:12,300
So that is a 16, roughly 16-5, and then on top of that we have a 6-count.

1034
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:19,120
So by the time we get to the water for next year, we're probably going to be somewhere running.

1035
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:23,540
Yep, that's a good meaning.

1036
01:13:23,540 --> 01:13:26,020
Yeah, because it's done is fine on me.

1037
01:13:26,900 --> 01:13:28,500
So it's awkward news.

1038
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:32,940
I just, you know, it's worth understanding that.

1039
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:35,160
I try to get the 70.

1040
01:13:40,140 --> 01:13:40,980
That's a good point.

1041
01:13:41,260 --> 01:13:43,480
And then in addition to the general funding,

1042
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:45,780
you do have a capital non-recurring fund.

1043
01:13:46,220 --> 01:13:49,700
That had an ending fund balance of about 936,000,

1044
01:13:49,860 --> 01:13:53,420
which was decreased about 265,000 from the prior year.

1045
01:13:53,420 --> 01:13:57,420
Again, that decrease represents current year out of these

1046
01:13:57,420 --> 01:13:59,060
expanded non-authorized projects.

1047
01:13:59,960 --> 01:14:04,360
We do include detailed schedules of the capital non-reoccurring fund

1048
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:06,600
by authorization in the financial statements.

1049
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,460
So again, that's another resource from a board perspective

1050
01:14:10,460 --> 01:14:13,840
to kind of monitor the spending on the capital projects.

1051
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,160
In terms of the American Rescue Plan,

1052
01:14:18,260 --> 01:14:21,480
that had an ending fund balance of about 60,000,

1053
01:14:21,480 --> 01:14:28,780
which was an increase of about 23,000 that does include unspent funds of about 181,000,

1054
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:33,460
which are reported as under revenue. So that's reflected as a liability in the financial statements,

1055
01:14:33,660 --> 01:14:38,940
but it's available for spending. And then all of your other funds had an ending fund balance

1056
01:14:38,940 --> 01:14:44,740
of about 623,000, which was an increase of about 80, 4000 from the prior year. Those amounts

1057
01:14:44,740 --> 01:14:49,280
are either restricted or committed for specific purposes. And again, there are details scattered

1058
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:52,500
each of your individual funds within the financial statements.

1059
01:14:55,870 --> 01:14:57,850
But, put slide about the sewer funds.

1060
01:14:58,970 --> 01:14:59,970
Again, the net position D.

1061
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:10,300
We increased about 39,000 from the prior year. The net position does include about 9.2 million, which is the net investment capital assets.

1062
01:15:11,020 --> 01:15:27,700
The overall unrestricted net position for the sewer fund increased about 224,000 to about 683,000. Operator and revenues increased by 270,000 or 16.6% due to increased revenues from septic callers.

1063
01:15:27,700 --> 01:15:32,700
and then overall operating expenses is increased by about 70,000 or about 3.3%.

1064
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:41,380
Again, the overall sewer related debt increased from about 3.5 million to 3.2 million due to scheduled

1065
01:15:41,380 --> 01:15:43,700
principal repayments.

1066
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,840
And then the last slide goes over your government-wide financial highlights.

1067
01:15:50,480 --> 01:15:54,820
So government-wide financial statements include your governmental funds converted to a full

1068
01:15:56,100 --> 01:16:01,740
So it does capture all of your capital assets in all of your long-term liabilities, including

1069
01:16:01,740 --> 01:16:02,860
any pension liabilities.

1070
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:09,440
You do, you are reporting a positive, unrestricted net position of about 4.1 million.

1071
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:16,040
You're unrestricted net position on a government-wide basis, increased by approximately

1072
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:21,860
1.9 million, which is a significant increase for one year, and that really related to the

1073
01:16:21,860 --> 01:16:28,700
recognition of the previously reserved property taxes, as well as reductions in pension-related

1074
01:16:28,700 --> 01:16:29,260
liabilities.

1075
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:34,980
So when we're talking about the property taxes, you don't get to recognize those in the

1076
01:16:34,980 --> 01:16:39,020
general fund until it's received, whereas in the government-wide financial statements,

1077
01:16:39,860 --> 01:16:49,840
we did propose that you recognize those revenues are reversed, the allowance that was

1078
01:16:52,660 --> 01:16:58,260
In terms of your net pension liabilities, the town net pension liabilities was approximately

1079
01:16:58,260 --> 01:17:06,840
1.7 million, that's 45.2% funded, that was an increase from about 36.3% in the prior year,

1080
01:17:07,300 --> 01:17:11,660
that's utilizing a discount rate of about 5.5%.

1081
01:17:11,990 --> 01:17:18,820
The net pension liability for the fire plan was about 249,000, so that's about 74.9% funded,

1082
01:17:18,820 --> 01:17:23,920
also an increase from the prior year and that was also using a discount rate

1083
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:29,280
of about 5.5 percent. And then the town does recognize a net pension

1084
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:33,720
liability that's allocated to the town for the municipal employees

1085
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:39,220
retirement system of state of Connecticut. Those are employees of the elementary

1086
01:17:39,220 --> 01:17:48,800
school. So that liability represents approximately 71,000. That plan is is

1087
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:53,800
72% funded and they utilize a higher discount rate of about 7%.

1088
01:17:54,820 --> 01:17:56,220
What does that discount rate mean?

1089
01:17:56,340 --> 01:17:56,640
I'm sorry.

1090
01:17:56,860 --> 01:18:01,660
So the discount rate is your estimate of what you expect to earn on your plan assets.

1091
01:18:02,780 --> 01:18:07,700
So again, the higher the discount rate, the more money that would be available to pay benefits

1092
01:18:08,440 --> 01:18:10,000
from your plan assets.

1093
01:18:10,700 --> 01:18:14,280
So that usually results in a lower annual required contribution.

1094
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:38,120
So again, I think given the state of where your pension plan is, you know, the 5.5 discount is on the lower side, I know you're working on, you know, your pension portfolio, but, you know, hopefully that's something where you'll be able to raise that discount rate a little bit and that would give you some relief on your annual required contributions.

1095
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:42,180
of what you want to get that funded percentage up before you do that.

1096
01:18:43,100 --> 01:18:44,160
Quite kind of funded, I think.

1097
01:18:44,620 --> 01:18:46,780
I actually remember the answer.

1098
01:18:47,300 --> 01:18:47,740
Guidance.

1099
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:51,600
What guidance is given on what is appropriately funded?

1100
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:51,940
Yeah.

1101
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:54,200
There's no way to talk about this.

1102
01:18:54,500 --> 01:18:57,800
So if you're a private company, if you're a company, if you're a company,

1103
01:18:57,820 --> 01:19:01,340
if you're a company, a pension company, there's DOL requirements

1104
01:19:01,700 --> 01:19:03,600
in terms of that funding.

1105
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:05,540
I think it needs to be at least 80% funded.

1106
01:19:06,420 --> 01:19:11,540
So there's no guidance for governments because the governments have the ability to let me tax it.

1107
01:19:12,540 --> 01:19:18,540
Generally speaking, we typically probably see it between 60 and 80 percent.

1108
01:19:20,380 --> 01:19:27,580
You know, recent, more recently, plants have become much better funded because of the investment in the market and the gains.

1109
01:19:28,440 --> 01:19:32,540
But generally speaking, I think you want to be at least between 60 and 80 percent.

1110
01:19:33,220 --> 01:19:35,460
Well, the positive is over 36 to 45.

1111
01:19:36,700 --> 01:19:37,520
That's a good one.

1112
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:38,140
That's good.

1113
01:19:38,700 --> 01:19:40,020
A lot of it depends on the market.

1114
01:19:40,660 --> 01:19:41,440
You got to have a good one.

1115
01:19:42,180 --> 01:19:42,240
Yeah.

1116
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:43,240
So, of course, we'll go.

1117
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,680
But you did make an additional contribution to the finance well,

1118
01:19:46,860 --> 01:19:48,000
and so that certainly helps.

1119
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:55,380
But the fire plan is 75% and that's pretty well funded.

1120
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:58,160
That's right up there.

1121
01:19:58,740 --> 01:19:58,820
All right.

1122
01:20:01,060 --> 01:20:01,320
All right.

1123
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:04,340
And then you do have another post-employment benefit plan.

1124
01:20:05,060 --> 01:20:07,520
Again, not significant for the town of Deep River,

1125
01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:09,480
but that reflects retiree health care benefits

1126
01:20:09,480 --> 01:20:11,720
for eligible employees in board of education.

1127
01:20:12,940 --> 01:20:14,480
The actual really determined liability

1128
01:20:14,480 --> 01:20:17,980
for those benefits was approximately 147,000.

1129
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,480
There's no trust that's been established

1130
01:20:20,480 --> 01:20:21,420
to fund those benefits.

1131
01:20:21,660 --> 01:20:23,460
It's really funded on a pays-and-go basis.

1132
01:20:24,480 --> 01:20:26,360
In addition, it really represents

1133
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:31,000
an implicit liability because between the cost share

1134
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:36,480
of the retiree and the subsidy from state, it really covers a hundred percent of the premium.

1135
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:42,380
The concept is that by having these individuals on your health insurance plan kind of raises

1136
01:20:42,380 --> 01:20:47,960
we overall premiums for everybody else, and so there's a benefit associated with that,

1137
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:48,980
so that's what that's captured.

1138
01:20:54,130 --> 01:20:56,910
All right, and then the last section just goes over our fire communications.

1139
01:20:57,950 --> 01:21:02,630
The first time here talks about a responsibility under the auditing standards, although we do

1140
01:21:02,630 --> 01:21:06,750
system in the preparation of the financial statements, they are the responsibility of the

1141
01:21:06,750 --> 01:21:11,670
town. Again, it's our responsibility to perform our procedures and express our opinion on those

1142
01:21:11,670 --> 01:21:17,910
statements. In terms of the plant scope and timing the audit, again, no changes were made to the

1143
01:21:17,910 --> 01:21:24,170
plants scope of the audit. In terms of the final field work, again, you were scheduled to be performed

1144
01:21:24,170 --> 01:21:32,030
on extension. Ideally, you know, we'd like to start the audit in December, work on the January

1145
01:21:32,030 --> 01:21:36,490
probably issue in February, I don't know, Lauren agrees with that or not,

1146
01:21:38,690 --> 01:21:39,790
but then obviously

1147
01:21:39,790 --> 01:21:45,090
because of the additional issues with reconciliation for some additional delays, which resulted

1148
01:21:45,090 --> 01:21:51,630
in, again, the six extensions get being granted from OPM and then ultimately, of being

1149
01:21:51,630 --> 01:21:54,150
in this little period of non-compliance until we issue.

1150
01:21:55,710 --> 01:22:00,070
The audit is substantially complete, again, we plan to issue our final reports by the end

1151
01:22:00,070 --> 01:22:05,810
month. In terms of significant audit findings, again, the town did implement a new accounting

1152
01:22:05,810 --> 01:22:12,030
standard on compensated absences. It went from a termination based liability to a usage

1153
01:22:12,030 --> 01:22:20,010
based liability. So that resulted in a $227,000 decrease in your beginning acquisition. Again,

1154
01:22:20,090 --> 01:22:24,070
it doesn't have any impact on your general fund of the budget. It's a government-wide

1155
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:29,370
The finance statements do include some significant estimates.

1156
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:34,980
Including estimated use of lives assigned to capital assets and discount rates utilized to determine that pension

1157
01:22:34,980 --> 01:22:41,320
no public liabilities. Again, we did review those estimates. We did deemed reasonable with industry practice.

1158
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:59,720
There were no significant difficulties encountered in dealing with management. Again, everything we've

1159
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:00,900
over financial reporting.

1160
01:23:03,100 --> 01:23:05,720
In connection with the audit, we do propose audit adjustments.

1161
01:23:06,620 --> 01:23:10,920
In addition to that, we have what we considered a uncorrected misstatement.

1162
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:16,760
There's an unreconciled balance of about 94,000 that currently remains with a liability

1163
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:19,640
on the town's balance sheet.

1164
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:26,740
Really with all the reconciliation issues, I was comfortable proposing for you to recognize

1165
01:23:26,740 --> 01:23:33,360
that credit as income and as part of the account's fund balance. Ultimately, as you do the

1166
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:39,560
reconciliation for fiscal year to 2026, and you become more comfortable with those year-end

1167
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:44,920
balances, you can revisit this balance and make it a determination of what to do for

1168
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:46,100
my correct entry sampling.

1169
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:51,420
And just carry that correct entry when you end up on this fiscal year's book store.

1170
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:56,260
Yes, so when you get to a point where you say, okay, we're very comfortable with our

1171
01:23:56,260 --> 01:24:02,300
And again, we're comfortable that there's not a material adjustment that will be made.

1172
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:03,940
You can revisit it.

1173
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:08,840
But my guess is when we talk to all of this, there's probably some entries that probably

1174
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:15,800
should be, you know, divided against this liability that don't reflect transactions of the

1175
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:19,960
current fiscal year, but related to reconciliation issues and priorities.

1176
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:25,800
I'm just going to get a pick up somewhere in the post at $24,000 in public one, whatever

1177
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:26,760
we're going to do it.

1178
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:30,320
I mean, people too long, right beside the house.

1179
01:24:31,380 --> 01:24:32,620
That's the corporate guy, thank you.

1180
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:39,840
So, this is going to be wrapped up very shortly with the letter, when do we start the next

1181
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:40,240
moment?

1182
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:42,360
Because we're already behind.

1183
01:24:42,980 --> 01:24:45,080
Are we going to start looking to separate?

1184
01:24:45,460 --> 01:24:46,360
That was the next idea.

1185
01:24:46,580 --> 01:24:47,180
It's not just so.

1186
01:24:47,860 --> 01:24:48,800
We can jump to it.

1187
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:57,840
Yeah, so again, that really depends on the corrective action and, you know, what resources that we can't start the audit until, you know, certainly until the bank documents will be interesting.

1188
01:24:58,740 --> 01:25:01,420
I had a discussion. I don't have to.

1189
01:25:03,340 --> 01:25:05,120
So let's wrap up this one.

1190
01:25:07,660 --> 01:25:09,860
Again, there were no discriminants with management.

1191
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:13,240
We'll be obtaining a management representation letter.

1192
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:17,700
There will be no unusual representations that we will be requesting from management.

1193
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:23,140
And we're not aware of any management consultations with any other independent accountants.

1194
01:25:23,380 --> 01:25:25,140
Again, those are required for communications.

1195
01:25:25,980 --> 01:25:29,700
If we can consult those with another accountants.

1196
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:32,420
So this is a complete presentation.

1197
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:35,880
Again, happy to answer any questions you have.

1198
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:38,560
And certainly if you have questions after the board meeting,

1199
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:40,860
you know, it'd be happy to answer those as well.

1200
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:44,100
I'm just going to go through the Timing and Karen Fallen.

1201
01:25:44,780 --> 01:25:45,800
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

1202
01:25:46,460 --> 01:25:46,840
Thank you.

1203
01:25:48,500 --> 01:25:48,900
Thank you.

1204
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:50,760
Nice presentation.

1205
01:25:51,900 --> 01:25:55,940
Before you leave the part A of this agenda.

1206
01:25:56,100 --> 01:25:56,940
I was at 25.

1207
01:25:57,260 --> 01:25:57,840
I was at 25.

1208
01:26:00,740 --> 01:26:03,480
And I know we came in through that.

1209
01:26:04,180 --> 01:26:13,720
But the case point too is we would absolutely want to be better than we were this time.

1210
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:17,480
especially if we make, you know, pregnant resources to clean up the books.

1211
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:20,640
But I don't think Paul, you can't, you don't know.

1212
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:25,840
They have laid out hopefully starting December correct and wrapping things up by February.

1213
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:28,480
Do you mention that like it would be ideal for this year?

1214
01:26:28,480 --> 01:26:28,960
Yeah, I do.

1215
01:26:30,140 --> 01:26:31,520
If we hit that down.

1216
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:32,540
Yeah, yeah.

1217
01:26:32,900 --> 01:26:37,100
But, well, I don't need to know what resources would it take to do that.

1218
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:38,800
And then we can work backwards from there, everything?

1219
01:26:39,500 --> 01:26:39,700
Yeah.

1220
01:26:40,260 --> 01:26:40,420
Yeah.

1221
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:41,680
Okay, that's a fair question.

1222
01:26:42,740 --> 01:26:43,060
I think.

1223
01:26:43,060 --> 01:26:57,500
I honestly, I think, you know, because we're going to put the resources together, I personally, and you can correct me, I don't think it's realistic to think that this time around we're going to get it done in February, even with the resources.

1224
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:02,200
before September would be terrific.

1225
01:27:02,900 --> 01:27:06,590
However, in March April may June July, October, so if we can get it done...

1226
01:27:07,380 --> 01:27:07,960
Well, that's what I'm saying.

1227
01:27:08,740 --> 01:27:14,340
I think, you know, March April would probably do it.

1228
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:17,780
I don't want to set up all of the, you know...

1229
01:27:17,780 --> 01:27:20,140
Yeah, but I still think the question that needs to be answered is,

1230
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:23,000
what would it take to be ready in December?

1231
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:28,120
And then what would that cost, and then we're back with what do we have for?

1232
01:27:28,820 --> 01:27:30,840
Well, I guess you're right.

1233
01:27:31,140 --> 01:27:34,340
We need two parts because we don't want to spend money just to fit in the federal order.

1234
01:27:34,340 --> 01:27:34,560
Right.

1235
01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:39,120
We want to spend money wisely to be much better than we are.

1236
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:45,060
And I would almost suggest, since this has been such a large and long-term problem,

1237
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:49,040
that we may not wait till another month to see that.

1238
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:51,100
If we get a list of what the money is,

1239
01:27:51,100 --> 01:27:53,280
and if you need to call a special meeting of us

1240
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:55,320
to approve it and get the whole thing moving,

1241
01:27:55,980 --> 01:27:57,760
I think I would be supportive of that.

1242
01:27:57,900 --> 01:27:59,940
I don't know if my colleagues would be.

1243
01:28:00,220 --> 01:28:01,520
Well, we're gonna have a special meeting.

1244
01:28:01,820 --> 01:28:04,420
But we might, we're gonna discuss that at the end here.

1245
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,300
So, yeah, so I guess it's up to Paul and how,

1246
01:28:08,180 --> 01:28:10,920
not only everything got going, how soon you could put together

1247
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:13,560
realistic list of resources you need.

1248
01:28:13,580 --> 01:28:16,780
It's in your own best interest, too, so.

1249
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:20,500
And if you get it to us before the act of remitting,

1250
01:28:20,500 --> 01:28:24,000
And if we are having a special meeting with the role of this, that

1251
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,760
okay, all right

1252
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:39,260
Thank you. I know you guys want to get home

1253
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:41,020
You want to say the recipe?

1254
01:28:43,540 --> 01:28:44,540
Thank you

1255
01:28:44,540 --> 01:28:47,220
Thank you very much. Thank you

1256
01:28:47,220 --> 01:28:47,220
Thank

1257
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:55,840
you

1258
01:28:55,840 --> 01:29:04,200
All right, next time the agenda is the article fund

1259
01:29:05,580 --> 01:29:16,740
update and follow us sent out a scheduled part of the month in your email, I do not

1260
01:29:16,740 --> 01:29:32,220
put copies of the copy, so the goal here I'll hand it up to follow in one second, the goal here is we have

1261
01:29:32,220 --> 01:29:40,420
1.3 million appropriated to us and we have to have that, I think spent by the end of the year.

1262
01:29:40,440 --> 01:29:41,200
No, yes.

1263
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:41,960
Yes.

1264
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:43,000
Yes.

1265
01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:43,500
No.

1266
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:45,680
That's right.

1267
01:29:47,340 --> 01:29:47,480
Yes.

1268
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:51,240
So, so Paul can take us through the,

1269
01:29:52,940 --> 01:29:59,720
Paul can take us through the list and then we can discuss what we need to do.

1270
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:08,440
The question before we do that my understanding is needed to be committed by a certain date, and then spent. I don't know. Are we able to change the commitments?

1271
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:09,740
I don't know.

1272
01:30:10,100 --> 01:30:11,360
That's what we're finding out yet.

1273
01:30:15,540 --> 01:30:17,880
Because we may not be able to move anything.

1274
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:24,780
So, let me repeat that again to the thing that's important enough, it's so in the way back when

1275
01:30:24,780 --> 01:30:31,620
the ARPA was created, we asked for the grant, we put a list, this is the list that we gave

1276
01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:39,900
to in the grant documents. This is the list of items that's kind of set in the store.

1277
01:30:39,900 --> 01:30:45,440
was kind of the role after many time being so for a time kind of thing.

1278
01:30:45,440 --> 01:30:49,400
But what ultimately it's meant to the state where it could be in federal government and this is the

1279
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:50,320
in the start.

1280
01:30:52,140 --> 01:30:52,620
Okay.

1281
01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:53,620
Got it.

1282
01:30:54,360 --> 01:30:54,880
I got it.

1283
01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:58,620
Many division diverting from this list has to be approved by who.

1284
01:31:00,420 --> 01:31:01,260
I saw the state.

1285
01:31:01,540 --> 01:31:03,000
We're trying to figure out who had the state.

1286
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:05,020
I'm supposed to talk to it.

1287
01:31:05,020 --> 01:31:06,640
I'm still open on my computer actually.

1288
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:07,560
I think the stage.

1289
01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:13,780
So for all the grants, all of the money is not used, all the zeroes in the columns.

1290
01:31:15,740 --> 01:31:20,720
So, what is actually, like, if you would like to do kitchen and that was used.

1291
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:22,480
So in the blue is what is available.

1292
01:31:22,620 --> 01:31:23,760
What's left to spend?

1293
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:24,860
Oh, that's a shame.

1294
01:31:25,260 --> 01:31:25,320
Oh, that's a shame.

1295
01:31:25,740 --> 01:31:25,940
Oh, yeah.

1296
01:31:26,100 --> 01:31:29,700
So basically, we, we,

1297
01:31:29,700 --> 01:31:33,720
The grant is for 1 million, 314.

1298
01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:45,600
We actually spent 1,257,424, and we have outstanding 57,487 and 16.

1299
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:50,720
So, yes, that's correct.

1300
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:56,040
And so, if you look at the very top line of finance software implementation, that's

1301
01:31:56,960 --> 01:32:07,040
So we're hoping that we can re-allocate that money, and that's what we're looking to do is put in an end and then request that something that we're allowed to do.

1302
01:32:08,300 --> 01:32:14,040
I have the select and figured out what they want to do if they can re-allocate money.

1303
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:17,680
Carol, did you determine that we have not spoken?

1304
01:32:18,380 --> 01:32:22,820
So, I'm curious how the list I have a list of we didn't add that to our agenda for tonight.

1305
01:32:23,180 --> 01:32:28,100
So, in the past, like six months, we've been seeing hundreds of six thousand, but it's actually only 37 thousand.

1306
01:32:29,180 --> 01:32:31,160
So, it just never got reconciled.

1307
01:32:32,620 --> 01:32:34,200
Are you talking about the cash balance?

1308
01:32:34,780 --> 01:32:36,700
It's called for Fort versus what you meant?

1309
01:32:36,700 --> 01:32:40,000
Right, because of the cash balance, and the general plan's been spending.

1310
01:32:40,480 --> 01:32:42,240
So, it's due to general.

1311
01:32:42,500 --> 01:32:43,580
Okay, yeah.

1312
01:32:43,580 --> 01:32:47,840
Oh, you can transfer over from the jar of one to the R-budget.

1313
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:48,000
Okay.

1314
01:32:48,500 --> 01:32:49,760
So this is your point.

1315
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,940
We actually spent for R-bud 1,250.

1316
01:32:52,260 --> 01:32:52,520
Yeah.

1317
01:32:53,440 --> 01:32:57,400
So like us, maybe an action approach would be to look at each of these that has an available

1318
01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:59,400
balance and have an understanding.

1319
01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:03,680
Where do these departments and project heads stand with this?

1320
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:05,660
Are they going to be able to spend what's left?

1321
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:06,620
Is it a committed?

1322
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:11,620
And then after that, if they're not going to be able to spend it,

1323
01:33:11,620 --> 01:33:16,240
answering the question, can we allocate it to something else and from that for that we need

1324
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:23,560
direction from the select man. So I mean I guess I would ask here on a little bit one of the science

1325
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:32,600
tourism. That's an excellent one to look at. Is that going to happen 25,000? Yeah. So I don't know about

1326
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:38,700
the whole 25. Well if you want to just start from the top of the course down. So the finance software

1327
01:33:38,700 --> 01:33:42,780
is done and we're under budget, so that's in weird way that would go.

1328
01:33:43,100 --> 01:33:48,020
The question would be, is because it was assigned to finance software.

1329
01:33:48,700 --> 01:33:52,820
We could still spend that on finance software without having to get permission from anybody.

1330
01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:53,380
Right?

1331
01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:58,760
Yeah, I don't know how particular because it says finance software implementation,

1332
01:33:59,080 --> 01:34:00,060
like I know.

1333
01:34:00,160 --> 01:34:01,420
That's an excellent question.

1334
01:34:02,580 --> 01:34:06,880
If we, I'm sorry, if we're so far behind because of the implementation,

1335
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:11,280
Can we use that response for the resources needed to finish implementation?

1336
01:34:11,980 --> 01:34:12,720
It's an implementation.

1337
01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:13,160
Right.

1338
01:34:16,060 --> 01:34:19,460
That could be a big opportunity.

1339
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:23,260
It's been a huge part of it.

1340
01:34:23,340 --> 01:34:26,040
It's not from the absence of the director that's been a huge part of it.

1341
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:29,720
Well, it's an actual implementation issue.

1342
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:36,000
We felt behind and we have all the reconciliation issues because we implemented two systems.

1343
01:34:36,980 --> 01:34:40,060
In my world of the corporate world, this is clearly implementation.

1344
01:34:41,200 --> 01:34:44,800
I think we could spend on 12,000 under resources we need.

1345
01:34:46,660 --> 01:34:50,020
That's, as it, in my experience,

1346
01:34:50,140 --> 01:34:52,420
an auditor came in here and said, let me a lot of this,

1347
01:34:52,620 --> 01:34:54,240
and you showed up in the implementation process.

1348
01:34:54,500 --> 01:34:59,020
We've got to hire outside finance and be able to help finish

1349
01:34:59,020 --> 01:35:01,520
and complete the reconciliation and the implementation.

1350
01:35:02,780 --> 01:35:07,940
We have the double check that Tim, they had really strict requirements from using it for stamping.

1351
01:35:09,140 --> 01:35:11,580
So I don't know, I think it makes sense.

1352
01:35:11,780 --> 01:35:13,320
That would be a good direction to go.

1353
01:35:13,620 --> 01:35:15,040
We used a lot of those for stamping.

1354
01:35:16,060 --> 01:35:18,020
For stamping, just look.

1355
01:35:18,620 --> 01:35:20,500
And a lot of this money was spent on stamping.

1356
01:35:20,500 --> 01:35:23,680
For example, if I've answered your question correctly,

1357
01:35:24,260 --> 01:35:25,200
deeper housing authority.

1358
01:35:25,480 --> 01:35:29,780
The 50,000 was to pay for two staff members to help with

1359
01:35:29,780 --> 01:35:37,480
the competing people. The social services, that was for a person to help out in social services for

1360
01:35:37,980 --> 01:35:44,180
two years and so we don't have to. It's not really staffing, it's consulting because it is very

1361
01:35:44,180 --> 01:35:48,660
common in implementation to hire e-multice to comment.

1362
01:35:50,860 --> 01:35:53,240
Well, for Canada, be a great use of the funding.

1363
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:55,200
Carol, what do you think?

1364
01:35:55,580 --> 01:35:56,280
What's your opinion?

1365
01:35:57,320 --> 01:36:00,580
Well, I kind of thinking along Catherine's idea, though.

1366
01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:01,560
It was sort of strict.

1367
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:03,240
Like, because she already had to commit it.

1368
01:36:03,420 --> 01:36:05,560
But I like your thinking, because like,

1369
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:07,280
it is a consultant that would...

1370
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:08,180
And it is important.

1371
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:13,680
I really think that that was supposed to re-overstunt on that.

1372
01:36:13,740 --> 01:36:16,540
And then we approved my out of, like,

1373
01:36:16,540 --> 01:36:20,260
the general fund to pay for the extra implementation.

1374
01:36:21,760 --> 01:36:30,020
Like, every was spending all the CD5 and it really came down in 2020 by the time we got

1375
01:36:30,020 --> 01:36:32,960
the backup software or whatever else we needed to do.

1376
01:36:33,820 --> 01:36:40,460
So I think something like this 12,000 really was already spent, it was already spent, it was

1377
01:36:40,460 --> 01:36:42,540
actually going to get to the general fund or something.

1378
01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:49,280
Like, I think way back when, because we had a discussion and it was like, well it was 85 but

1379
01:36:49,280 --> 01:36:52,560
And then we had add on, there was more to it.

1380
01:36:52,620 --> 01:36:55,600
It came up to about 120 when all was said and done, but.

1381
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:58,700
So, I guess, in a timely manner, we have to find out,

1382
01:36:58,980 --> 01:37:02,900
A, did we really end as this 12, 296 go back to the general fund,

1383
01:37:03,040 --> 01:37:06,520
in which case we could use that money to pay for this resource?

1384
01:37:06,900 --> 01:37:08,760
Well, we can find a looking into this.

1385
01:37:08,780 --> 01:37:11,000
So I've got my questions when I let somebody,

1386
01:37:11,540 --> 01:37:16,900
so we've been talking about, yeah, because in Paul's experience,

1387
01:37:16,900 --> 01:37:23,320
Typically, with like a grant, you can, if there's a lot of 10%, you said you can come.

1388
01:37:23,540 --> 01:37:26,900
Good partners and grants will allow, yeah, a 10% leeway.

1389
01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:29,400
Of course, I'd love to have me be allocating or something.

1390
01:37:29,420 --> 01:37:29,980
I'm fine then.

1391
01:37:30,900 --> 01:37:36,200
A, if we really overspent that, then we're going to reimburse the general fund, which we're creating.

1392
01:37:36,860 --> 01:37:37,220
Exactly.

1393
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:43,120
And opportunity to reallocate those final funds, one way or another, I think we could do that.

1394
01:37:44,860 --> 01:37:45,800
So, we're

1395
01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:51,360
going to go down to the government and just do that.

1396
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:58,960
The VPW pump, we overspend on that one, and is that okay with that?

1397
01:38:01,700 --> 01:38:07,800
VPW Blower, we underspend five, two, nine, so those two added together, that's a $19,000.

1398
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:12,540
But those are just items we purchased, there's no winter room, just it is where it is, right?

1399
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:20,420
VPW Generator, again, we went up on there $40,000, we're talking about.

1400
01:38:21,500 --> 01:38:29,720
ARPA, Deep River Transfer Station, we over spent by a thousand, two hundred.

1401
01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:34,860
PNR, it's not even going to stop by any of the PNR music festival.

1402
01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:39,540
We ought to spend that that's done, it's gone.

1403
01:38:40,660 --> 01:38:41,680
So there's no opportunity.

1404
01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:46,020
I think when you re-voted, there was more money I believe for the music festival.

1405
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:48,960
There were only two million years and then it came back as an issue.

1406
01:38:48,960 --> 01:38:55,280
And we wanted to take that money and re-applying to something a little more practical,

1407
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:56,080
like I can say.

1408
01:38:56,260 --> 01:39:01,780
So my question is, can we do the same with this 15.4 small amount as it is?

1409
01:39:08,440 --> 01:39:13,740
I get some, because I can say, I ask the question about the 10% and then a lot of these

1410
01:39:13,740 --> 01:39:16,380
will get pulled right into that 10%.

1411
01:39:18,180 --> 01:39:23,840
Because if the 10% of that, one point three, four, you know, 1.3 million, and then...

1412
01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:27,660
The work work work we're going through is to understand it, but ultimately the slightly

1413
01:39:27,660 --> 01:39:30,260
out-and-rad-do it.

1414
01:39:30,900 --> 01:39:32,160
The order of I have doesn't do it.

1415
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:36,100
Yeah, we need to answer as to how we use the money.

1416
01:39:36,260 --> 01:39:37,300
We don't have a lot of money.

1417
01:39:37,540 --> 01:39:37,840
We don't have a lot of money.

1418
01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:38,800
Right, I've got to be stunted.

1419
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:43,400
And I was just thinking if I can't really have months, for example, the videos to hone

1420
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:47,180
this money was allocated, do they know they have this extra money?

1421
01:39:47,860 --> 01:39:48,860
And they have a use?

1422
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:52,900
I've reached out to most of the children and they don't have a use for it.

1423
01:39:52,900 --> 01:39:56,340
So it's all circle back and ask if they've come up with something.

1424
01:39:56,900 --> 01:39:57,020
Yeah.

1425
01:39:57,320 --> 01:40:03,420
It would be kind of awkward to say, okay, we've spent money in the LK, they come back

1426
01:40:03,420 --> 01:40:03,940
and cry.

1427
01:40:04,160 --> 01:40:05,340
You know, I love that money.

1428
01:40:05,480 --> 01:40:07,340
We're going to do level of love with it.

1429
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:07,680
Mm-hmm.

1430
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:07,980
Good.

1431
01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:08,300
Good.

1432
01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:08,440
Good.

1433
01:40:08,440 --> 01:40:08,580
Good.

1434
01:40:08,580 --> 01:40:08,600
Good.

1435
01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:10,000
Good.

1436
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:10,140
Good.

1437
01:40:10,140 --> 01:40:10,240
Good.

1438
01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:10,260
Good.

1439
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:10,760
Good.

1440
01:40:11,220 --> 01:40:11,660
Good.

1441
01:40:11,660 --> 01:40:18,220
library they have a purpose of 45 they only spent 42 you know that's a pretty broad category

1442
01:40:18,220 --> 01:40:22,540
I don't know there was something specific for me. Yeah I'd be doing the desk a desk and some

1443
01:40:22,540 --> 01:40:30,000
carpeting yeah but was it so specific that it was like just repairs or renovations that they could take

1444
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:34,940
the rest of it and buy some carpet. Yeah that's perfect. I talked about the reviews in some of that

1445
01:40:34,940 --> 01:40:39,200
do for programming, where they were kind of getting a chip in a way as a programming.

1446
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:42,120
You know?

1447
01:40:42,480 --> 01:40:44,780
But it would be nice to know if we could re-alcate it.

1448
01:40:44,900 --> 01:40:47,820
So I think that's the most important, because it's not the very current.

1449
01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:50,700
We should buy some of our radios and stuff if it can't be.

1450
01:40:50,860 --> 01:40:54,620
But if it can be, it would be nice to know that.

1451
01:40:55,240 --> 01:40:58,500
But we have pushes state because it's already September.

1452
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:08,100
Deeper planning and zoning, master plans, they overstepped by $1, $1, $2, town building repairs.

1453
01:41:10,700 --> 01:41:17,500
I guess I think that was, actually, you got down to that was the only money left sort of,

1454
01:41:17,500 --> 01:41:23,400
like, $2,500 or something, and Andrea and I said, well, let's just, you know, unwaist it,

1455
01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:27,560
So you kind of committed certain little fixes here at Town Hall.

1456
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:33,060
Like we used to have little openings where the old radiator pipes came down.

1457
01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:34,280
So there were little holes in the floor.

1458
01:41:34,440 --> 01:41:36,220
I don't know if I should put your members in.

1459
01:41:36,220 --> 01:41:39,940
We had somebody come in and kind of a little piece of wood and cover it up.

1460
01:41:40,660 --> 01:41:43,660
So like kind of a little dinky job like that just to meet up some money.

1461
01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:47,380
So that should go back in the General Fundant, because you more than spend it on Town

1462
01:41:47,380 --> 01:41:48,680
and Beards, right?

1463
01:41:48,980 --> 01:41:49,940
Or you haven't yet.

1464
01:41:50,220 --> 01:41:50,620
That's 1,500.

1465
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:51,780
No.

1466
01:41:51,780 --> 01:41:58,840
That's been something allocated in the grant, but that's why there was nothing originally allocated because

1467
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:00,140
Oh, okay, got to it.

1468
01:42:00,140 --> 01:42:00,360
I'm sorry.

1469
01:42:00,740 --> 01:42:00,880
I'm sorry.

1470
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:02,040
I had added everything.

1471
01:42:02,420 --> 01:42:06,600
I think that was the only money not committed, so we didn't want to send it back.

1472
01:42:06,900 --> 01:42:08,040
We said we'll explain it.

1473
01:42:08,740 --> 01:42:14,180
Deeper part of our non-hydraulic rescue tool came a little under budget.

1474
01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:16,420
Fire radio system.

1475
01:42:17,660 --> 01:42:19,160
And under budget, I love a thousand.

1476
01:42:19,160 --> 01:42:20,120
All

1477
01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:29,640
right, some of those radio's purchased for that small barrow that we did or something.

1478
01:42:30,020 --> 01:42:32,040
Didn't we kind of do a deep dive on that?

1479
01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:33,960
Can we remove it in that?

1480
01:42:34,420 --> 01:42:42,000
Where we had done, if you looked at it all town meeting, we had allocated and it was before my

1481
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:42,560
administration.

1482
01:42:43,740 --> 01:42:45,580
You know, half a million dollars, I remember it.

1483
01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:50,180
It was something where we approved or the previous administration, out of town meeting.

1484
01:42:50,180 --> 01:42:54,260
So town presence, the truth, kind of like the certain amount of money,

1485
01:42:54,420 --> 01:42:56,180
and it included all the radio, it was in everything.

1486
01:42:56,440 --> 01:42:58,480
And then it got put into the art, but as well.

1487
01:42:58,760 --> 01:43:01,020
So I think it was sort of a double language form,

1488
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:04,340
which I think is why we still have that money left over

1489
01:43:04,340 --> 01:43:06,940
from the capital far away.

1490
01:43:07,060 --> 01:43:09,180
Because we ended up using archive.

1491
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:10,780
That's right.

1492
01:43:10,800 --> 01:43:14,680
You and I never kind of did a deep dive like what you mentioned.

1493
01:43:14,940 --> 01:43:16,360
Why do we have this money sitting at that?

1494
01:43:16,360 --> 01:43:17,140
That was report.

1495
01:43:17,540 --> 01:43:21,360
I don't know which kind of is this borrow when you sit in there that type of order to a lot

1496
01:43:21,360 --> 01:43:24,140
of those open and you have a sense of it. We borrow it.

1497
01:43:25,160 --> 01:43:29,500
So for instance, I'm not, I mean, I'm sure you reach out to the fire department to

1498
01:43:29,500 --> 01:43:30,740
himself. You know, you understand?

1499
01:43:31,440 --> 01:43:32,640
No one wanted to do that.

1500
01:43:32,860 --> 01:43:35,860
I was like, oh, fire department has all the ingredients right now.

1501
01:43:35,860 --> 01:43:36,940
So we don't need to be ready.

1502
01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:38,380
Yeah, so I think we don't.

1503
01:43:38,540 --> 01:43:39,580
They're all we need to do.

1504
01:43:39,900 --> 01:43:41,540
Maybe this should have paid for that.

1505
01:43:41,580 --> 01:43:43,480
No, it didn't. It didn't.

1506
01:43:43,480 --> 01:43:44,040
It didn't. It didn't.

1507
01:43:44,040 --> 01:43:44,720
It didn't. It didn't.

1508
01:43:45,300 --> 01:43:49,540
But then he also used some of that bar or something or maybe we did use all the bar

1509
01:43:49,540 --> 01:43:50,820
and that's how it was sitting there.

1510
01:43:51,060 --> 01:43:55,420
But we did it in the radio and here because it doesn't work again.

1511
01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:56,240
Deeper bird.

1512
01:43:57,840 --> 01:43:58,820
Maybe we did it.

1513
01:43:58,820 --> 01:43:58,960
Maybe we did it.

1514
01:43:59,000 --> 01:43:59,800
He had to do it by himself.

1515
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:00,920
Any.

1516
01:44:01,180 --> 01:44:03,000
Oh, we got 15,000 pounds.

1517
01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:03,460
Like that.

1518
01:44:04,540 --> 01:44:05,820
I'm just lying there.

1519
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:07,800
No, because I kind of could go with five pounds.

1520
01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:10,980
Yeah, I mean, if you need more radio, you just five doesn't matter.

1521
01:44:10,980 --> 01:44:17,820
All our EMD, you know, we've been looking to upgrade, so maybe that would all fire on the public safety to do the same.

1522
01:44:18,480 --> 01:44:21,660
General, could maybe we could buy some mining, so we don't have our way further.

1523
01:44:22,860 --> 01:44:24,820
Well, how could you get what does it look like?

1524
01:44:24,980 --> 01:44:26,420
And if I repair it, it's okay.

1525
01:44:26,420 --> 01:44:29,240
And the room is going to come on with orders that we need to get.

1526
01:44:30,580 --> 01:44:30,660
Yeah.

1527
01:44:33,390 --> 01:44:33,590
Yeah.

1528
01:44:33,650 --> 01:44:33,710
Yeah.

1529
01:44:33,710 --> 01:44:35,050
Wouldn't what's supposed to be committed?

1530
01:44:35,730 --> 01:44:36,810
That's how it lasts to something.

1531
01:44:37,650 --> 01:44:40,110
And it's done by this end of this to somewhere in order.

1532
01:44:40,110 --> 01:44:42,030
What's the definition of commitment?

1533
01:44:43,310 --> 01:44:44,890
It's just a signed contract, I believe.

1534
01:44:45,270 --> 01:44:47,270
Because I have a signed contract for everything.

1535
01:44:47,730 --> 01:44:51,130
Yeah, we don't have a signed contract for people that don't let the law for her.

1536
01:44:54,530 --> 01:44:55,370
When we might.

1537
01:44:57,540 --> 01:44:59,980
For the military, so now you never have evidence on this beat.

1538
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:13,940
So we have a bunch of signs that we play hands, but we can see the terms, if we're a little too many together on more time.

1539
01:45:16,980 --> 01:45:21,260
Transfer out, fire radio system 250,000.

1540
01:45:22,950 --> 01:45:23,590
Can't close.

1541
01:45:24,190 --> 01:45:24,910
I don't know what that means.

1542
01:45:25,150 --> 01:45:28,890
I don't

1543
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:31,000
know.

1544
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:34,120
What's that? What was I mean, Crancura, a fire radio?

1545
01:45:39,780 --> 01:45:40,880
Any of our fire and not?

1546
01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:46,000
What Paul is looking at that?

1547
01:45:46,040 --> 01:45:47,240
Trident-on Services.

1548
01:45:48,100 --> 01:45:50,220
Pretty much came up in line.

1549
01:45:50,920 --> 01:45:52,140
Community Health Committee.

1550
01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:55,340
Yeah, Mr. Chairman.

1551
01:45:55,580 --> 01:45:56,780
Yeah, I can't even do this.

1552
01:45:56,920 --> 01:45:57,400
I'm in for that.

1553
01:45:58,020 --> 01:45:58,820
I'm in for that.

1554
01:45:59,100 --> 01:45:59,340
I'm in for that.

1555
01:45:59,340 --> 01:45:59,720
I'm in for that.

1556
01:46:00,940 --> 01:46:02,180
I'm in for that.

1557
01:46:02,180 --> 01:46:05,420
Yeah, I have my right to play deeper,

1558
01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:07,260
probably in the order that must be you.

1559
01:46:07,260 --> 01:46:09,760
No, no, no, no, no, no.

1560
01:46:09,760 --> 01:46:10,760
That's done.

1561
01:46:11,260 --> 01:46:13,820
Keep River's start with signing done.

1562
01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:15,760
Sure, line of subscription done.

1563
01:46:16,380 --> 01:46:18,960
Keep of RAM and association done.

1564
01:46:19,200 --> 01:46:20,200
Signed for tourism.

1565
01:46:21,180 --> 01:46:22,300
And that's going to be canceled.

1566
01:46:22,900 --> 01:46:24,340
You know, some work with the committee.

1567
01:46:25,340 --> 01:46:27,920
And right now, I'm pretty sure we can spend it all,

1568
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:29,560
but I'm not 100% so.

1569
01:46:29,700 --> 01:46:30,760
What was it when we committed

1570
01:46:30,760 --> 01:46:36,300
contract in fact in the summer? Yes, for that amount. So we'll get right to that amount

1571
01:46:36,300 --> 01:46:41,560
of courses I can. Okay. You might go over and then I might be looking for a few bucks. So

1572
01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:46,680
you know, I know if the signs are in cost and I can get exactly 25,000. So you get down one done,

1573
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:55,280
then we're down to, you know, 27,000 dollars. And if we could, I would say, put a lot of energy into

1574
01:46:55,280 --> 01:47:00,220
to find and swap what's in the table at 12,000, that's half of the difference, and something

1575
01:47:00,220 --> 01:47:08,440
we've rated really. So if we can, you know, I'm hoping that they'll have 10 percent idea,

1576
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:14,920
you know, where the towns of this close, you know, they'll have to absorb it into a need.

1577
01:47:15,380 --> 01:47:19,200
I mean, it's not like anything that's going to do anything, it's going to store the money, you know,

1578
01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:19,680
Yeah,

1579
01:47:22,350 --> 01:47:25,790
all right other than being where the other questions,

1580
01:47:28,410 --> 01:47:28,430
okay

1581
01:47:30,570 --> 01:47:32,450
next action is

1582
01:47:32,450 --> 01:47:38,570
recommendation of slept in action and recommendation of sleep, well we really

1583
01:47:38,570 --> 01:47:42,830
need to talk about much today to do that but I will say we have a nature water

1584
01:47:42,830 --> 01:47:50,610
we cover it this morning, so we will anticipate some expenses there, we did have a

1585
01:47:54,010 --> 01:47:59,850
So hopefully whatever is needed over there will be covered, but there might be an initial

1586
01:47:59,850 --> 01:48:04,350
outlay of money before we get reimbursed, that sort of thing, because it seems to be

1587
01:48:04,350 --> 01:48:12,010
everything's covered, but was it a burst pipe or a water cooler on the third floor, I guess

1588
01:48:12,010 --> 01:48:20,010
the hose plastic hose gave away, and then it flooded down into the lower floor, and to be

1589
01:48:22,310 --> 01:48:27,890
So right now the elevator isn't coming back on yet because they weren't sure the electrical problems.

1590
01:48:28,370 --> 01:48:36,110
You know there's a quarter of a tray where the electric areas are a bunch of conduits and then also in the base of the elevator.

1591
01:48:36,350 --> 01:48:38,390
The elevator is right now not operational.

1592
01:48:38,890 --> 01:48:40,070
It's a little back in session tomorrow.

1593
01:48:40,250 --> 01:48:41,330
School will be back tomorrow.

1594
01:48:42,390 --> 01:48:45,790
But the water came down and it really, you know, ruined a lot of sheet rock.

1595
01:48:45,790 --> 01:48:53,030
of some high-ozy collapse, so, you know, we're in the carpet that's where we saw service

1596
01:48:53,030 --> 01:48:57,070
master was all the day playing, and I'm probably still able to try and buy everything I

1597
01:48:57,070 --> 01:48:58,410
have put.

1598
01:48:59,510 --> 01:49:04,190
So, that's kind of a big thing to know, and anything else though, at this point.

1599
01:49:34,190 --> 01:49:35,490
on our additional updates.

1600
01:49:36,050 --> 01:49:37,730
So I'm going to go to the list and let it go.

1601
01:49:38,170 --> 01:49:38,710
Where do we do that?

1602
01:49:38,930 --> 01:49:39,610
I guess I heard that on here.

1603
01:49:40,170 --> 01:49:41,690
So who want to do it here for us?

1604
01:49:41,930 --> 01:49:42,430
Here's our minutes.

1605
01:49:42,670 --> 01:49:43,950
It's pretty easy to teleport along.

1606
01:49:44,150 --> 01:49:45,490
Yeah, I think we're going to do it.

1607
01:49:45,550 --> 01:49:47,490
I'd like to take a line of my list

1608
01:49:47,490 --> 01:49:49,790
because I don't have an infront of me, but I do have a list.

1609
01:49:51,470 --> 01:49:54,330
So it was more of a general update where we would,

1610
01:49:54,610 --> 01:49:56,350
so let's say that we get to that agenda.

1611
01:49:56,650 --> 01:49:58,150
I'm going to help our money.

1612
01:49:58,190 --> 01:50:00,810
What's the amount of money we're looking at?

1613
01:50:01,170 --> 01:50:03,330
It was 1.28 from the last month.

1614
01:50:05,190 --> 01:50:08,310
And in the awesome slide recommendations.

1615
01:50:10,970 --> 01:50:18,530
Are there any upcoming love and expenses that you're into supporting legal expenses or other issues that we need to think about work budget?

1616
01:50:19,050 --> 01:50:21,850
Well, we are really using a lot of our legal line.

1617
01:50:22,750 --> 01:50:27,210
We have some assistance from our like land use attorney and a little extra expense there.

1618
01:50:27,310 --> 01:50:28,970
We're not an ordinance for us.

1619
01:50:28,970 --> 01:50:39,170
We have a legal, but town has it in the lawsuit with a developer or a property manager

1620
01:50:39,170 --> 01:50:40,730
on Essex Street.

1621
01:50:41,210 --> 01:50:46,950
We are still negotiating the two contracts for the town, and the civil employees and the police.

1622
01:50:47,270 --> 01:50:54,230
It has some FMI complaints that have gone into public hearings, which then we have the

1623
01:50:54,890 --> 01:50:57,610
different attorneys accompanying whoever is up there.

1624
01:50:57,610 --> 01:51:02,130
So we've definitely had more lethal pills than other years.

1625
01:51:02,570 --> 01:51:03,590
For example, I have some plate.

1626
01:51:03,750 --> 01:51:07,590
So we have, for the person who complains, do we have to pay their legal fees?

1627
01:51:08,190 --> 01:51:08,330
No.

1628
01:51:08,930 --> 01:51:10,690
Whoever's going on behalf of the town.

1629
01:51:10,770 --> 01:51:11,010
Okay.

1630
01:51:11,270 --> 01:51:12,770
I'm just, I'll be able to tell you two here.

1631
01:51:13,990 --> 01:51:17,090
Because they've ran out of time and they asked us to come again.

1632
01:51:17,770 --> 01:51:20,150
Don't confess to the week we've got to watch the legal expense.

1633
01:51:20,230 --> 01:51:22,790
So that might be a little harder for us to find out.

1634
01:51:22,850 --> 01:51:24,530
But we're still within what we have.

1635
01:51:24,530 --> 01:51:29,460
But as the hearth goes on, let's just go on to the left.

1636
01:51:29,660 --> 01:51:31,200
Thank you.

1637
01:51:31,500 --> 01:51:31,900
Okay.

1638
01:51:33,020 --> 01:51:33,440
Ted Hamilton.

1639
01:51:34,700 --> 01:51:34,860
Yeah.

1640
01:51:36,380 --> 01:51:40,420
All right, that moves us to a couple of cash forecast.

1641
01:51:40,900 --> 01:51:44,820
The only thing I have there is this question for Tom.

1642
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:50,200
We met a payment on the chassis for the fire truck.

1643
01:51:50,300 --> 01:51:52,880
I was actually out of the state of the time.

1644
01:51:53,500 --> 01:52:02,880
you know but you know what is the 68 exactly, you know, the amount that we pay to.

1645
01:52:06,650 --> 01:52:10,650
I apologize, I can't access my records on here.

1646
01:52:11,330 --> 01:52:13,270
But sounds like how do you send a check for it?

1647
01:52:14,090 --> 01:52:14,510
What's that?

1648
01:52:14,690 --> 01:52:15,670
Can we send a check for that?

1649
01:52:16,630 --> 01:52:16,810
Yeah.

1650
01:52:16,810 --> 01:52:16,970
Okay.

1651
01:52:17,170 --> 01:52:17,670
Do you want to make sure?

1652
01:52:18,010 --> 01:52:19,390
Which I was saying was from the States.

1653
01:52:22,270 --> 01:52:28,190
I'll take some of these tomorrow and I just want to make sure I get an accurate number on that particular piece of paper.

1654
01:52:28,750 --> 01:52:29,370
That's all I have.

1655
01:52:30,940 --> 01:52:59,700
Number 9, final review of the 25-26 fall has been all the final entries yet. So we're not going to be doing that today. Number 9, if you remember back in, we didn't have a meeting in August. We had one in July. We did a complete review of 25-26, but there were still some remaining entries that we could get made. So until the remaining entries, we would get made one final basis.

1656
01:52:59,700 --> 01:53:04,800
but we're not anticipating any major surprises that we know.

1657
01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:09,280
We're planning on doing it if the next week or the next week

1658
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:09,980
it will be implemented.

1659
01:53:10,600 --> 01:53:11,280
We're going to open it.

1660
01:53:12,280 --> 01:53:14,360
We took a lot of clothes a year.

1661
01:53:15,640 --> 01:53:18,800
And I am being able to focus on closing 25.6.

1662
01:53:21,860 --> 01:53:22,260
Okay.

1663
01:53:22,800 --> 01:53:26,640
So that will just keep it on.

1664
01:53:26,640 --> 01:53:28,480
I'm going to update it on following that.

1665
01:53:28,600 --> 01:53:32,880
I'm going to go down to number 11 for now until we're sure.

1666
01:53:34,260 --> 01:53:39,220
At 2627, we received the July years of date report.

1667
01:53:40,600 --> 01:53:41,720
I went through a quickly.

1668
01:53:41,860 --> 01:53:43,060
I did have a couple of questions.

1669
01:53:43,980 --> 01:53:46,220
So we can probably do it quickly.

1670
01:53:46,560 --> 01:53:48,900
There's not a lot to look at for one month.

1671
01:53:49,380 --> 01:53:51,920
It's one 12 or 8 percent of the budget.

1672
01:53:54,200 --> 01:53:56,260
I'm going to go really quick through the report.

1673
01:53:56,540 --> 01:54:00,100
If anybody wants to go slower or have questions, stop me.

1674
01:54:00,780 --> 01:54:05,320
The first question I have is H3 Townsburg.

1675
01:54:05,860 --> 01:54:10,220
It looks like we paid Catholic salary 28,000,

1676
01:54:10,220 --> 01:54:13,000
or 45% of the salary I am.

1677
01:54:13,200 --> 01:54:14,840
I have a question mark on mine.

1678
01:54:15,300 --> 01:54:15,980
That is

1679
01:54:20,050 --> 01:54:21,030
probably a question for you.

1680
01:54:21,230 --> 01:54:21,610
All concern?

1681
01:54:22,770 --> 01:54:25,410
It's that town clerk question I asked him to actually.

1682
01:54:25,770 --> 01:54:26,370
H3?

1683
01:54:27,330 --> 01:54:27,450
Yeah.

1684
01:54:27,470 --> 01:54:29,190
I don't have the last page in the last line.

1685
01:54:29,550 --> 01:54:29,970
H3.

1686
01:54:36,170 --> 01:54:37,770
He's just 28,300.

1687
01:54:37,770 --> 01:54:46,610
Oh, yes, I did not look into that, I found it, is that paying out the vacations at time?

1688
01:54:46,650 --> 01:54:47,750
No, I don't know.

1689
01:54:48,350 --> 01:54:49,150
No, that's true.

1690
01:54:49,150 --> 01:54:51,710
But have to look back to me.

1691
01:54:52,510 --> 01:54:53,630
Possibly, I don't know.

1692
01:54:53,990 --> 01:54:54,270
I don't know.

1693
01:54:56,150 --> 01:54:56,570
All right.

1694
01:54:57,270 --> 01:54:57,290
Will.

1695
01:54:58,250 --> 01:54:59,430
Can you just pull up a little bit now?

1696
01:54:59,450 --> 01:54:59,650
Okay.

1697
01:55:00,550 --> 01:55:01,430
I'll pull up a little bit.

1698
01:55:02,070 --> 01:55:03,230
I'll pull up a little bit.

1699
01:55:03,230 --> 01:55:05,770
I think it's part of the DRF view at an arpe.

1700
01:55:06,190 --> 01:55:09,650
When I looked in the records that I emailed myself,

1701
01:55:09,990 --> 01:55:12,950
it's just one line that was brought in to the new system.

1702
01:55:13,650 --> 01:55:16,650
So it doesn't mean I don't have to go back in

1703
01:55:16,650 --> 01:55:18,850
at all the system and see how it's done.

1704
01:55:26,780 --> 01:55:27,060
Work.

1705
01:55:28,580 --> 01:55:28,720
Okay.

1706
01:55:28,740 --> 01:55:29,280
I'll put it here.

1707
01:55:30,020 --> 01:55:30,240
Thank you.

1708
01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:33,580
And then the next question I have,

1709
01:55:33,900 --> 01:55:37,340
similar to what I'm going to make it out of the page five.

1710
01:55:37,340 --> 01:55:40,380
I think these are just annual payments from the first month.

1711
01:55:41,160 --> 01:55:44,680
So we have a payment of 43,000 to the regional animal control.

1712
01:55:45,200 --> 01:55:48,120
So that like they're full for the year, okay.

1713
01:55:48,860 --> 01:55:49,580
That's what I figured.

1714
01:55:51,160 --> 01:55:55,260
And then we have the river pump out of $5,500

1715
01:55:55,260 --> 01:55:57,040
at the full payment for the year also.

1716
01:55:57,720 --> 01:55:59,960
And the WCCA's reimbursement is on.

1717
01:56:00,180 --> 01:56:01,440
Yeah, we invoice that.

1718
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:03,680
And that is a question.

1719
01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:06,100
Because it's a salary.

1720
01:56:06,100 --> 01:56:13,380
We wouldn't be able to use anything left in that animal control line for if we end up with, you know,

1721
01:56:13,460 --> 01:56:18,800
word dog, that's, you know, see, there's something can we use that for some of that?

1722
01:56:19,160 --> 01:56:21,100
What do you have done?

1723
01:56:21,340 --> 01:56:22,160
It's a little closer.

1724
01:56:22,500 --> 01:56:23,840
Oh, we're going to vote that for that.

1725
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:26,820
I kind of remember that.

1726
01:56:27,280 --> 01:56:27,520
Yeah.

1727
01:56:28,100 --> 01:56:28,300
Okay.

1728
01:56:28,640 --> 01:56:28,760
Okay.

1729
01:56:29,600 --> 01:56:30,360
Another next one.

1730
01:56:30,360 --> 01:56:34,120
I think you're going to have to do some research for a computer support at the same

1731
01:56:34,120 --> 01:56:43,600
page, page 5, under Special Services, we spent $9,778 in one month, so we spent

1732
01:56:43,600 --> 01:56:45,600
24% of the budget.

1733
01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:48,220
What is that?

1734
01:56:48,720 --> 01:56:49,140
All right.

1735
01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:55,180
And then accounting and web services, same thing, we spent 32% of the budget.

1736
01:56:55,420 --> 01:56:55,640
Yeah.

1737
01:56:55,640 --> 01:57:00,400
I'm curious what I'm pretty sure about the annual four of the tax collectors.

1738
01:57:00,900 --> 01:57:05,020
Okay, so that's kind of a annual tax collector.

1739
01:57:05,540 --> 01:57:07,000
Okay, so that's kind of a annual tax collector.

1740
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:10,940
And then an accounting and web service that probably annual 7,000.

1741
01:57:11,540 --> 01:57:13,140
Let's see.

1742
01:57:14,920 --> 01:57:17,140
Actually, it's probably a waste for some of those two.

1743
01:57:17,140 --> 01:57:24,940
You can give me like 8,000 feet, enterprise, and remember how we have it, annual, and then we take my place.

1744
01:57:28,360 --> 01:57:37,040
Okay, so that was, that's a 9,770, but then you're coming web services for 7,101,4,1,1,1,1,1,1.

1745
01:57:37,220 --> 01:57:40,820
Don't forget that website. You don't have to cook the best at all, I think that's good.

1746
01:57:41,380 --> 01:57:45,680
That would be yes, when you sit in plus is it called?

1747
01:57:46,700 --> 01:57:49,180
And that's like an annual payment that's not,

1748
01:57:54,950 --> 01:57:54,950
yeah.

1749
01:57:55,170 --> 01:58:01,150
And then same page online permitting $4,800.

1750
01:58:02,710 --> 01:58:06,750
And that's 64% of budget, do you know what?

1751
01:58:06,890 --> 01:58:07,850
And then you look at it.

1752
01:58:07,850 --> 01:58:15,810
Yep, that's paying in full for it instead of buying a transaction.

1753
01:58:16,650 --> 01:58:16,910
Okay.

1754
01:58:19,790 --> 01:58:20,190
Okay.

1755
01:58:20,550 --> 01:58:22,130
That's what I figured most of these are.

1756
01:58:22,130 --> 01:58:29,770
And then I was paid six and in terms of bonds, 80,000 or 55% of the budget, so I think I can do that.

1757
01:58:31,090 --> 01:58:32,170
Is that like a seven?

1758
01:58:32,170 --> 01:58:32,890
I am.

1759
01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:41,460
And then I'm paid seven.

1760
01:58:47,710 --> 01:58:49,910
I just highlighted over time of officer.

1761
01:58:50,910 --> 01:58:52,950
But it's only 13.9%.

1762
01:58:52,950 --> 01:58:56,510
So how does this happen in July?

1763
01:59:04,210 --> 01:59:07,090
I was there too.

1764
01:59:07,750 --> 01:59:11,910
Bally short communication, that's an annual payment on the summer or summer annual.

1765
01:59:12,390 --> 01:59:14,850
Is it core must be core to me?

1766
01:59:16,510 --> 01:59:19,110
Yes, core to me.

1767
01:59:19,110 --> 01:59:26,190
And then I'm paid nine health district 40 of the kind of budget 25,000,

1768
01:59:29,160 --> 01:59:30,800
100 centitarian.

1769
01:59:32,160 --> 01:59:32,780
That's a number of friends.

1770
01:59:33,480 --> 01:59:36,860
I think that's too for the health district.

1771
01:59:39,190 --> 01:59:40,310
That's just some money.

1772
01:59:44,550 --> 01:59:48,110
And then a library program is 150,000.

1773
01:59:48,350 --> 01:59:50,470
That must be for some sort of something.

1774
01:59:52,660 --> 01:59:53,840
100% of all you have.

1775
01:59:55,420 --> 01:59:57,360
Thank you very much.

1776
01:59:57,760 --> 01:59:59,960
Thank you very much.

1777
02:00:10,600 --> 02:00:19,120
And I'm assuming the same thing for under on page 11, under political subdivisions, the extraordinary transit as to where it's

1778
02:00:19,120 --> 02:00:24,280
comfortable and the right amount of, probably, all the annual payments that are made right up front.

1779
02:00:25,200 --> 02:00:25,200
Correct.

1780
02:00:38,780 --> 02:00:46,460
Correct. Those are the ones that were over budget. I've pretty much figured what the answer is worth. I think that's all we need to do for this one.

1781
02:00:46,460 --> 02:00:48,500
I think that's a good question.

1782
02:00:49,340 --> 02:00:50,420
I think that's a good question.

1783
02:00:50,820 --> 02:00:51,480
I think that's a good question.

1784
02:00:51,940 --> 02:00:54,040
I think that's a good question.

1785
02:00:54,760 --> 02:00:54,960
Yeah.

1786
02:00:55,140 --> 02:00:57,340
I looked at it just to make sure it wasn't in it.

1787
02:00:59,020 --> 02:01:00,820
So we checked the box for you.

1788
02:01:00,900 --> 02:01:01,200
We did that.

1789
02:01:01,460 --> 02:01:04,900
What do you think that's a good question when you wanted for me?

1790
02:01:06,520 --> 02:01:07,380
That was.

1791
02:01:07,640 --> 02:01:11,180
I mean, we really had a lot of capital now for current fund.

1792
02:01:11,360 --> 02:01:11,660
That's a record.

1793
02:01:11,860 --> 02:01:12,640
When you have the record sign.

1794
02:01:12,660 --> 02:01:13,580
Well, that's a record.

1795
02:01:13,580 --> 02:01:16,820
But there's a particular thing we were just talking about.

1796
02:01:17,300 --> 02:01:23,400
What we had was sort of the fire, like the ARCA and the capital non-referring between the

1797
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:29,940
TL was part of the day for something that we clearly capitaled up there, which made you

1798
02:01:29,940 --> 02:01:33,640
why there's still $49,000 in capital non-referring.

1799
02:01:35,500 --> 02:01:38,440
Yeah, so what that wasn't that.

1800
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:42,820
What was in the transfer out of fire radio?

1801
02:01:47,500 --> 02:01:51,200
That wasn't the chassis fire truck I wanted to go with.

1802
02:01:53,080 --> 02:01:55,020
I'm on a, that's all I got.

1803
02:01:57,100 --> 02:01:58,300
All right.

1804
02:01:58,540 --> 02:02:00,300
All right, moving on, I'm so updated.

1805
02:02:00,300 --> 02:02:07,140
The intent of this is just to never lose sight of items and when there isn't enough tape,

1806
02:02:07,420 --> 02:02:08,420
please supply it.

1807
02:02:08,440 --> 02:02:12,620
We already talked about the capital non-recurring fund that I've followed still need to reconcile.

1808
02:02:13,740 --> 02:02:15,080
Saddle on using police equipment.

1809
02:02:15,760 --> 02:02:20,480
I've put down needed owner because I don't think we had some.

1810
02:02:21,080 --> 02:02:26,460
I thought followed in the stock to the police chief, but I don't think police.

1811
02:02:27,700 --> 02:02:34,300
I've been talking about she's taking the pictures and they're going to get Eric's going to put him on the website.

1812
02:02:34,980 --> 02:02:38,040
I just have to get the police equipment off and whatever.

1813
02:02:39,140 --> 02:02:41,300
It's very, very moving forward with that.

1814
02:02:41,420 --> 02:02:42,240
Okay, we're going to go ahead.

1815
02:02:43,660 --> 02:02:45,460
That's pretty good one about it.

1816
02:02:46,480 --> 02:02:48,780
No, we're going to get the truck from way up.

1817
02:02:49,060 --> 02:02:52,100
The way the truck from our car from way on is coming soon.

1818
02:02:52,500 --> 02:02:55,320
And then we're going to put the view equipment that we bought.

1819
02:02:55,320 --> 02:02:56,760
It'll fit in the new car.

1820
02:02:57,120 --> 02:02:58,660
Oh, so we're going to have to get our gun ready.

1821
02:02:58,860 --> 02:03:00,060
Oh, we're not going to sell it.

1822
02:03:00,220 --> 02:03:03,560
I thought last time we were two of the transfers on the highway garage

1823
02:03:03,560 --> 02:03:05,600
that we're going to sell two vehicles.

1824
02:03:07,160 --> 02:03:10,420
Well, but your question was about the equipment that we're now going to put on a new

1825
02:03:10,420 --> 02:03:10,660
wheel.

1826
02:03:11,220 --> 02:03:12,460
Yeah, I wasn't aware about it.

1827
02:03:12,520 --> 02:03:12,720
Yeah.

1828
02:03:12,720 --> 02:03:12,840
Yeah.

1829
02:03:12,840 --> 02:03:13,700
Richard was here.

1830
02:03:14,040 --> 02:03:16,000
We talked about it in selling it.

1831
02:03:16,060 --> 02:03:17,620
We were going to be talking about it.

1832
02:03:17,620 --> 02:03:19,100
But I asked for a test to do it.

1833
02:03:19,180 --> 02:03:20,600
It wasn't up to fit in the car or something.

1834
02:03:20,600 --> 02:03:23,020
But now we have a completely something from when I'm going to do it.

1835
02:03:23,200 --> 02:03:24,780
So we're going to actually make a great news.

1836
02:03:24,780 --> 02:03:25,960
Yeah, that's fabulous.

1837
02:03:26,860 --> 02:03:27,580
That's wonderful.

1838
02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:29,620
And then we're going to tell you all what we're doing.

1839
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:31,500
Right, you have two out there to sell.

1840
02:03:31,880 --> 02:03:33,780
Maybe we can have to fund that.

1841
02:03:37,880 --> 02:03:38,320
OK.

1842
02:03:39,800 --> 02:03:43,980
Any updates on the St. John's discussions on the funds?

1843
02:03:46,200 --> 02:03:48,060
I'd like to table it until next time.

1844
02:03:48,520 --> 02:03:50,800
Something's got a nice list, but we haven't gone over yet.

1845
02:03:50,800 --> 02:03:56,600
I was like, what do you check our priorities and so we could have record-style them?

1846
02:03:56,620 --> 02:04:00,680
Did you care if we were set into line, we could table them for the same reason?

1847
02:04:00,940 --> 02:04:03,100
Not to be in notice, but I really wanted to do it.

1848
02:04:03,500 --> 02:04:05,860
And then neither to wait nor to sit down.

1849
02:04:06,260 --> 02:04:09,740
But mine is in my office somewhere, so I didn't prepare for tonight.

1850
02:04:11,320 --> 02:04:16,000
And I assume doing as well as if he wasn't able to get the meeting this morning.

1851
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:17,220
like earlier meeting, so.

1852
02:04:17,500 --> 02:04:19,420
Now do you guys meet the three of you

1853
02:04:19,420 --> 02:04:20,640
we're in the side of the triathlete

1854
02:04:20,640 --> 02:04:22,620
where it's under risk before you bring it to us?

1855
02:04:22,640 --> 02:04:23,960
That's what we thought we would do.

1856
02:04:25,100 --> 02:04:25,320
Yeah.

1857
02:04:25,720 --> 02:04:27,360
Or we kind of give our priorities.

1858
02:04:27,820 --> 02:04:30,240
And then obviously, as it were, we were kind of...

1859
02:04:31,060 --> 02:04:31,160
Yeah.

1860
02:04:31,160 --> 02:04:32,740
Okay, very once we don't kind of

1861
02:04:32,740 --> 02:04:35,360
we're earning four and a half or four percent interest.

1862
02:04:36,140 --> 02:04:37,000
That's right.

1863
02:04:37,380 --> 02:04:38,540
So, very often, that's the case.

1864
02:04:38,940 --> 02:04:39,020
Yeah.

1865
02:04:39,800 --> 02:04:43,280
And by the way, that, that alpha is the problem with that.

1866
02:04:43,280 --> 02:04:45,380
Next up, what's the commanding for this?

1867
02:04:47,940 --> 02:04:52,160
OK, one thing you've actually considered to is I was watching

1868
02:04:53,700 --> 02:04:57,380
the Board of Ed meeting regional where they were

1869
02:04:57,380 --> 02:05:02,560
talking about air conditioning systems in the high school.

1870
02:05:02,840 --> 02:05:06,300
That's going to cost $1.2 million, but they had finance opportunities

1871
02:05:06,300 --> 02:05:07,160
for ever source.

1872
02:05:07,380 --> 02:05:08,380
There's a bunch of stuff on that.

1873
02:05:08,380 --> 02:05:14,740
Well, my general thought is, you know, one of the capital needs over in the elementary school,

1874
02:05:14,840 --> 02:05:15,780
that's all on us.

1875
02:05:16,040 --> 02:05:21,120
You guys probably should look at that, as you're considered to be in the house, don't let that fall through the cracks,

1876
02:05:21,280 --> 02:05:23,120
like I said, my name is Stitchin' off.

1877
02:05:23,280 --> 02:05:23,660
Good thought,

1878
02:05:26,110 --> 02:05:26,110
yes.

1879
02:05:28,030 --> 02:05:37,890
A seven-year contract, this is that company that was helping us reduce our Wi-Fi slash cellular bills.

1880
02:05:39,250 --> 02:05:43,430
You're like that, well I've got to select men, but we're currently in school eventually.

1881
02:05:44,530 --> 02:05:48,250
So Paul and I have with our contact with school in the show.

1882
02:05:48,890 --> 02:05:51,950
And what was the initial savings of about $6,000?

1883
02:05:52,450 --> 02:05:58,350
What was the first initial was like $30 that season, $68 and we split that.

1884
02:05:59,410 --> 02:06:04,490
And so we're anticipating as we get rid of our current funds system we have now.

1885
02:06:04,490 --> 02:06:21,710
we're going to switch over to Frontier, so we are planning to have, we're anticipating having more savings as we move into, like, our bonding contract with the over and the end of October or November first or something, so we'll be able to report more savings.

1886
02:06:21,710 --> 02:06:27,010
So six out of over one time savings and for contract we split it forward.

1887
02:06:27,230 --> 02:06:27,890
We should get more.

1888
02:06:28,150 --> 02:06:29,070
No, we should be getting more.

1889
02:06:29,190 --> 02:06:34,850
The front tier, like that took a long time for that to finally come to fruition where it actually

1890
02:06:34,850 --> 02:06:38,290
was changed over and we've got a little savings.

1891
02:06:40,110 --> 02:06:41,930
But no, we should see more of that.

1892
02:06:42,070 --> 02:06:42,810
We should see more of that.

1893
02:06:42,810 --> 02:06:46,510
And are we going to get to share 50-50 school and mental presenting?

1894
02:06:46,630 --> 02:06:48,790
We're going to relate for teachers to teachers.

1895
02:06:51,170 --> 02:06:53,790
So he's still working very hard for

1896
02:06:54,970 --> 02:06:55,970
somebody he's got.

1897
02:06:56,470 --> 02:07:01,610
So my question was that the 6,000 was just,

1898
02:07:01,810 --> 02:07:02,950
it's not a moment of 6,000.

1899
02:07:03,110 --> 02:07:04,470
It's just, we just,

1900
02:07:04,470 --> 02:07:05,810
that was for one order.

1901
02:07:06,350 --> 02:07:06,590
One order.

1902
02:07:06,990 --> 02:07:08,950
Is it the repeated order of 6,000?

1903
02:07:09,330 --> 02:07:11,170
Or if it holds it.

1904
02:07:14,240 --> 02:07:15,640
Yeah, because it felt,

1905
02:07:15,860 --> 02:07:16,580
I don't know.

1906
02:07:18,920 --> 02:07:20,000
All right, because it's a problem.

1907
02:07:21,420 --> 02:07:28,420
And then the last one on the list is enterprise computer contract review, which is not a good one with them.

1908
02:07:28,620 --> 02:07:29,980
And that's, I guess I'll take it.

1909
02:07:30,720 --> 02:07:39,620
Do I need to set up a meeting for that to work? No, I forgot. I'll set up a meeting. I'll be happy to. I'll do it.

1910
02:07:41,100 --> 02:07:52,740
I think a couple of other things we talked about, for the things we talked about from last month's line. We're going to get an update on Paul and Eric. We're going to get together.

1911
02:07:53,720 --> 02:07:59,160
Update is a matter of what the looks of grants. That's what we talked about that July.

1912
02:08:02,180 --> 02:08:06,760
And to make sure we've spent the last two years trying to close the break, that's the end of the day.

1913
02:08:07,940 --> 02:08:10,320
That was Jackie's catchup of eight months ago.

1914
02:08:11,000 --> 02:08:17,640
So who is the right person to give that day a little surprise?

1915
02:08:18,540 --> 02:08:20,520
Carol's a bearer.

1916
02:08:21,100 --> 02:08:23,420
I think if you ask Eric, you can see spent it.

1917
02:08:23,600 --> 02:08:25,360
So I think it was a little bit of a given update.

1918
02:08:29,340 --> 02:08:36,440
So somebody has got to go and, however, you have to grow a sign on that money and get it from the state.

1919
02:08:37,080 --> 02:08:39,240
Yeah, I've got to put the orders about that.

1920
02:08:39,680 --> 02:08:42,000
And we're not at risk of losing that money.

1921
02:08:42,420 --> 02:08:49,760
No, the problem is that they look at that when we go to apply for other grants, according to,

1922
02:08:53,180 --> 02:08:53,340
you know,

1923
02:08:53,340 --> 02:08:57,640
I'm just going to say, Tom, what's his name?

1924
02:08:58,060 --> 02:08:58,780
Mark Mertner.

1925
02:08:58,980 --> 02:08:59,560
Mark Mertner.

1926
02:08:59,960 --> 02:09:01,000
In that absolute state.

1927
02:09:01,020 --> 02:09:05,020
Until we spend those little cigarettes and they see that we're using our grandmoney.

1928
02:09:06,440 --> 02:09:08,620
It is a very hard for people to get new drinks.

1929
02:09:09,300 --> 02:09:10,660
Because they look at that first.

1930
02:09:11,200 --> 02:09:18,120
So, maybe the question is, who submits the paper for the grant that shows us that?

1931
02:09:18,220 --> 02:09:18,820
Is that the question?

1932
02:09:19,400 --> 02:09:20,940
I think it was typically finance.

1933
02:09:27,040 --> 02:09:35,940
So for this, I'm going to add this as I have a close of grant update and follow you on.

1934
02:09:36,620 --> 02:09:36,860
What else?

1935
02:09:37,040 --> 02:09:38,360
Then we have more more.

1936
02:09:38,680 --> 02:09:43,940
We talked about in July developing a credit card accountability report.

1937
02:09:43,940 --> 02:09:48,300
report that that's so high that I'm going to have a teacher get that out of them.

1938
02:09:48,400 --> 02:09:49,480
I'd like to relate to that.

1939
02:09:49,620 --> 02:09:50,280
That was new product.

1940
02:09:52,260 --> 02:09:55,660
When we talk about the roles or responsibilities for finance,

1941
02:09:56,420 --> 02:10:00,560
I want to talk about what we're responsible for controls,

1942
02:10:02,760 --> 02:10:04,560
forwarding policies and processes.

1943
02:10:05,720 --> 02:10:07,980
And in that, I was thinking about it.

1944
02:10:09,480 --> 02:10:13,760
I want to find out how many credit cards we have and what control we have in the credit cards.

1945
02:10:15,800 --> 02:10:19,020
But I think we're going to be a future agenda.

1946
02:10:19,980 --> 02:10:20,520
So, yeah.

1947
02:10:21,800 --> 02:10:23,860
You know, I guess it's a suggestion.

1948
02:10:24,160 --> 02:10:24,820
This is great.

1949
02:10:25,020 --> 02:10:26,880
I really like how you're doing this here,

1950
02:10:27,080 --> 02:10:28,040
where they're causing this.

1951
02:10:29,040 --> 02:10:30,400
They're still sitting out.

1952
02:10:30,620 --> 02:10:31,920
Sometimes we have a discussion.

1953
02:10:32,560 --> 02:10:36,040
I'm wondering if we can keep in the minutes an action list,

1954
02:10:36,880 --> 02:10:38,280
because it's kind of covered,

1955
02:10:38,460 --> 02:10:40,300
but it doesn't only say who's on point.

1956
02:10:41,720 --> 02:10:43,580
It was tight in the exact end.

1957
02:10:43,580 --> 02:10:43,980
Yeah.

1958
02:10:44,500 --> 02:10:45,460
But that's the intent of this.

1959
02:10:45,580 --> 02:10:45,860
But yeah.

1960
02:10:46,320 --> 02:10:47,800
That's the intent.

1961
02:10:47,900 --> 02:10:48,900
Roll a little bit of that.

1962
02:10:49,260 --> 02:10:49,620
I mean.

1963
02:10:49,980 --> 02:10:53,920
Because, you know, we'll talk about controls a little bit.

1964
02:10:54,120 --> 02:10:57,900
In my mind, I know there's a couple of areas that we need to look at.

1965
02:10:58,460 --> 02:11:01,500
I put credit cards, but I'll call it all on how many credit cards we have.

1966
02:11:01,660 --> 02:11:02,080
You have two.

1967
02:11:02,240 --> 02:11:03,000
We have two.

1968
02:11:03,780 --> 02:11:05,040
And that was like, well, great.

1969
02:11:06,060 --> 02:11:07,360
Who can control the credit cards?

1970
02:11:08,820 --> 02:11:09,820
I have one.

1971
02:11:10,320 --> 02:11:11,020
And baby has one.

1972
02:11:13,440 --> 02:11:19,480
So I think I think, you know, how do I think to do a bunch of elements of learning, we should

1973
02:11:19,480 --> 02:11:24,200
probably, you know, make sure that what's the process to look at who's spending well in

1974
02:11:24,200 --> 02:11:28,640
credit cards, vacuuming that and understand that the board, I think that's one part of all.

1975
02:11:29,200 --> 02:11:32,400
We've seen them in other accountants that I think will arrive in credit cards.

1976
02:11:32,920 --> 02:11:35,020
But I'm very happy you're going to have to do it myself.

1977
02:11:35,020 --> 02:11:37,580
And this is getting kind of a problem.

1978
02:11:38,440 --> 02:11:43,880
The other area is our process around the current.

1979
02:11:44,480 --> 02:11:46,980
We have an ordinance that we're supposed to follow.

1980
02:11:47,660 --> 02:11:50,560
I think one of these meetings, we should pull out that ordinance,

1981
02:11:50,780 --> 02:11:53,420
we should review it, and then we should talk about,

1982
02:11:53,420 --> 02:11:55,200
do we follow the ordinance?

1983
02:11:55,880 --> 02:11:59,400
That's our goal, it's to make sure the controls are being followed

1984
02:11:59,400 --> 02:12:00,340
within the town.

1985
02:12:00,760 --> 02:12:02,620
Those are the two that I thought about.

1986
02:12:02,620 --> 02:12:08,920
But on that one we have a role to look over it, but executing it, that's what it is.

1987
02:12:08,920 --> 02:12:13,840
Oh yeah, executing. Our role is oversight. I guess what I'm trying to get to.

1988
02:12:13,840 --> 02:12:18,960
Our role is oversight, something else. What should we be oversight? That is an important one.

1989
02:12:19,140 --> 02:12:22,700
Credit card can't deny. Which ends up being maybe more of a small one.

1990
02:12:23,360 --> 02:12:28,240
I don't know what other things. Oh budget. When we review the budget, every single month, that's oversight.

1991
02:12:28,240 --> 02:12:42,560
So I think that one other, which I don't know how big of a deal it is, but there's money being spent and brought in that doesn't show up on the general budget that we get every month.

1992
02:12:42,800 --> 02:12:47,320
Is that an easy report that we can have every month that can just be pushed about and you run it?

1993
02:12:47,320 --> 02:12:52,200
thinking of doing that. Because I feel it's important that we see that because I know that when we

1994
02:12:52,200 --> 02:13:02,340
too decree is going to mention this to Tim, is we decided to pull out the revenue from the police

1995
02:13:02,340 --> 02:13:08,360
when they're doing road jobs. It wasn't ever meant not to be on this report. It was just meant to be a

1996
02:13:08,360 --> 02:13:13,500
separate line item. So we don't know what we're spending or bringing in. And that's just one example.

1997
02:13:13,500 --> 02:13:15,540
And then I learned that there's probably a lot of others.

1998
02:13:16,040 --> 02:13:19,720
Should we get a monthly or quarterly report that shows that stuff?

1999
02:13:20,360 --> 02:13:21,180
That's the report.

2000
02:13:21,220 --> 02:13:25,160
I think we showed a couple of times in this because I've never seen it.

2001
02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:31,000
Just one time and both we decided that we were going to do that on the quarterly basis.

2002
02:13:31,820 --> 02:13:35,500
That was one of them we were having these discussions and it came up to our other concepts

2003
02:13:35,500 --> 02:13:39,880
at what other accounts we presented a report here but we didn't do it monthly.

2004
02:13:41,260 --> 02:13:44,020
And we can certainly, because it's just a part of the concern

2005
02:13:44,020 --> 02:13:45,880
is something that I'm thinking of.

2006
02:13:46,460 --> 02:13:47,820
And then maybe review accordingly.

2007
02:13:48,700 --> 02:13:49,200
But it was a review.

2008
02:13:49,200 --> 02:13:53,080
Or is there any reason kept be, why are they not on?

2009
02:13:53,720 --> 02:13:54,120
Well, yes.

2010
02:13:54,800 --> 02:13:56,080
I don't know a lot.

2011
02:13:56,280 --> 02:13:57,740
What was the logic that you prepared?

2012
02:13:57,860 --> 02:13:58,720
I didn't know.

2013
02:13:58,840 --> 02:14:00,140
No, but I don't know.

2014
02:14:00,260 --> 02:14:02,740
I think that's just what was done.

2015
02:14:03,260 --> 02:14:03,780
What was done?

2016
02:14:04,780 --> 02:14:07,080
I mean, that's something down the road you should talk about

2017
02:14:07,080 --> 02:14:08,900
as should they be on this report.

2018
02:14:08,900 --> 02:14:12,140
it doesn't make it easier. So it's part of the general budget.

2019
02:14:13,480 --> 02:14:16,380
You need to do all of the within the general? I don't know.

2020
02:14:16,480 --> 02:14:19,960
Or you just want to have one report with the multiple copies.

2021
02:14:20,600 --> 02:14:24,080
I guess I don't know the, what about this yellow general point?

2022
02:14:25,140 --> 02:14:27,600
And are they in the general fund? And it's not one out.

2023
02:14:27,780 --> 02:14:28,320
They're in the second.

2024
02:14:29,100 --> 02:14:32,640
And when I looked at the report, I mean, you don't remember what we did.

2025
02:14:33,040 --> 02:14:35,500
I mean, I'm quickly, we quickly looked at it.

2026
02:14:35,920 --> 02:14:37,940
I looked at it in a detail. I was like, okay.

2027
02:14:37,940 --> 02:14:42,140
And it wasn't anything I had to worry you know when I said, oh, there's other accounts,

2028
02:14:42,380 --> 02:14:46,660
I've ordered what are those, after looking at it, they weren't significant.

2029
02:14:47,600 --> 02:14:50,040
Oh, let's, let's, let's, and I quote her, let's look at it again.

2030
02:14:51,820 --> 02:14:52,840
That's what I'm saying.

2031
02:14:53,300 --> 02:14:55,780
I have an account that never has appeared anywhere.

2032
02:14:56,980 --> 02:14:59,840
That is, I mean, money we get in for the war and the harbor master.

2033
02:15:00,140 --> 02:15:14,980
Yeah, that took a bit of something. You know, we take in more refugees and then we pay out for, you know, pulling up 20 of them. You know, we pay out for the person doing it. And so I think it's a wash, but it would be nice to see a good end.

2034
02:15:15,040 --> 02:15:21,660
Right. And go out for whatever, so. Yeah. Well, we've talked about that. Yeah, and it's actually in for the seat.

2035
02:15:23,180 --> 02:15:33,320
I mean, because it's switched to the new, so now I write a line, so it would be great for this group to see, because we've never tracked that before.

2036
02:15:34,800 --> 02:15:38,540
I don't know, so much of a news from the last meeting.

2037
02:15:39,140 --> 02:15:46,000
I don't know for process-wise, it's then polished shares with you, and it gets checked off when you don't think about it.

2038
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:52,000
There was going to be a meeting with Anna Kera between July and September to be tremendous.

2039
02:15:52,220 --> 02:15:54,740
We over the budget, but I don't know if that happened.

2040
02:15:55,000 --> 02:15:56,280
We over the budget.

2041
02:15:56,540 --> 02:15:58,620
That was discussed at the last meeting.

2042
02:15:59,020 --> 02:16:01,360
But we're going to look into the assessor's salary over it.

2043
02:16:01,500 --> 02:16:05,440
But that was about, I don't know, maybe maybe folks cover that off.

2044
02:16:06,140 --> 02:16:10,320
There was a possible miscoly in the transfer states in salary.

2045
02:16:13,740 --> 02:16:15,220
That was going to be checked.

2046
02:16:16,020 --> 02:16:22,700
I don't know where we want to track this stuff, is it in the minutes or is it something

2047
02:16:22,700 --> 02:16:26,120
between the two of you or what makes sense?

2048
02:16:26,120 --> 02:16:30,820
Catherine, I have to say at the last meeting which was to lie.

2049
02:16:32,580 --> 02:16:37,680
I did have a long list of things you guys were looking for and I had set them to myself

2050
02:16:37,680 --> 02:16:46,000
in email and was ready to enter these things, losing Tara, I'm not doing this for the subject

2051
02:16:46,000 --> 02:16:46,480
at all.

2052
02:16:46,480 --> 02:16:49,680
I'm just trying to say it's not that they're being ignored,

2053
02:16:52,120 --> 02:16:53,980
but how do we want to have

2054
02:16:53,980 --> 02:16:56,380
it all process in the minutes or how do we have it?

2055
02:16:56,380 --> 02:17:00,240
I struggle with micro-managing in because we're at it.

2056
02:17:00,400 --> 02:17:07,200
I'll be a time when I look at what are the major things that drive the town that we should

2057
02:17:07,200 --> 02:17:16,560
worried about. And I don't want to micromanage in this environment, fall off at this point.

2058
02:17:17,080 --> 02:17:18,340
So I-

2059
02:17:20,420 --> 02:17:24,980
These never parking a lot. Remember, we can start the parking on again and say, you know,

2060
02:17:25,000 --> 02:17:26,400
a second we get done for a year. Yeah.

2061
02:17:26,400 --> 02:17:30,200
I'm going to start the parking on issue or what do things are just going to be in trouble. It's

2062
02:17:30,200 --> 02:17:34,640
frustrating to talk about. It's really annoying that we don't like it. And it's sort

2063
02:17:34,640 --> 02:17:35,360
of similar to you.

2064
02:17:35,360 --> 02:17:40,140
All right, so do we have a volunteer to put the key on?

2065
02:17:40,140 --> 02:17:40,960
I will do it.

2066
02:17:41,160 --> 02:17:46,480
But I think what we have to remember is we've got to keep it within our responsible

2067
02:17:46,480 --> 02:17:47,740
as a board of finance.

2068
02:17:48,560 --> 02:17:55,640
And what I don't want to do is I want to major on the majors, right?

2069
02:17:56,280 --> 02:18:02,560
We should be focused on getting all the counter-reconciled, so we can get to a lot of

2070
02:18:02,560 --> 02:18:08,040
I don't want to be in a situation where we're using it in parking a lot and every month said,

2071
02:18:08,100 --> 02:18:09,300
Paul, did you get to this one?

2072
02:18:09,780 --> 02:18:11,480
That's the whole policy, did you get to this one?

2073
02:18:11,560 --> 02:18:13,020
That's the whole purpose of parking lot.

2074
02:18:13,320 --> 02:18:16,840
Is that occasionally we look at it and say, is there anything that needs to be addressed?

2075
02:18:17,000 --> 02:18:18,780
Because it's on a parking lot down the road.

2076
02:18:20,200 --> 02:18:23,360
It's not to be done where you're bringing it up every month.

2077
02:18:23,560 --> 02:18:26,480
You say, by May, we may be able to do this.

2078
02:18:26,940 --> 02:18:29,500
And we come to May and bring it up and say, Oh, you know what?

2079
02:18:29,540 --> 02:18:30,620
We're still not there yet.

2080
02:18:30,620 --> 02:18:37,120
Because I think we started this a couple years ago when it got to the budget time and we talked about

2081
02:18:37,120 --> 02:18:40,160
I believe it was insurance or something or

2082
02:18:40,840 --> 02:18:46,320
Help me out here. Yeah, it was like right why do we always wait till February and talk about actually we look at the insurance contract?

2083
02:18:46,320 --> 02:18:53,460
We should do that in October and so it's like let's start a parking lot of when we ought to address these things

2084
02:18:53,460 --> 02:18:56,380
So that's really what it's about. And did you use it?

2085
02:18:56,440 --> 02:19:00,400
We did we did actually check it all on. Are you well? I'm happy to do it.

2086
02:19:01,200 --> 02:19:04,460
So there's somewhere between parking lot and then...

2087
02:19:04,460 --> 02:19:06,200
Some of these are just...

2088
02:19:06,200 --> 02:19:08,900
You know, like, this is Ms. Cody, it wouldn't go on a park.

2089
02:19:09,140 --> 02:19:09,780
No, exactly.

2090
02:19:09,800 --> 02:19:16,420
I'm going to pause the list and she has a long-to-do list and when she gets to that item, if it's, you know,

2091
02:19:16,820 --> 02:19:23,840
I'm sure my recommendation is, for anybody, when you come into your office, you prioritize what's the most important thing you're going to work on.

2092
02:19:23,840 --> 02:19:33,040
And that may be way down here, but what I don't want to do is, is border finance says you need to work on this one, not this one.

2093
02:19:33,340 --> 02:19:39,620
I'd rather say, Paul, you're professional and you need to decide what the priority is on your office.

2094
02:19:40,700 --> 02:19:43,220
And I don't want this group to micromanage.

2095
02:19:43,680 --> 02:19:46,300
So the enterprise contract could be on the parking lot.

2096
02:19:46,360 --> 02:19:49,200
And we'd say, you want to try and get by January.

2097
02:19:49,560 --> 02:19:49,960
Yeah.

2098
02:19:49,960 --> 02:19:51,860
That's the kind of thing that would be on the parking lot.

2099
02:19:53,660 --> 02:19:55,780
And it's not written in style.

2100
02:19:56,800 --> 02:19:58,900
Well, that maybe, yeah, then we got the follow-up list.

2101
02:19:59,140 --> 02:19:59,660
So, yeah, I guess.

2102
02:20:00,740 --> 02:20:00,960
All right.

2103
02:20:01,140 --> 02:20:02,180
So let's see what we're going to do.

2104
02:20:02,180 --> 02:20:03,020
You're going to do that at the park.

2105
02:20:03,560 --> 02:20:03,780
Okay.

2106
02:20:04,080 --> 02:20:06,880
And I'll keep the more current stuff on the follow-up.

2107
02:20:07,320 --> 02:20:10,100
And then there's the other things that follow-up.

2108
02:20:10,260 --> 02:20:11,200
This is a professional.

2109
02:20:11,560 --> 02:20:12,760
It needs to put him on her list.

2110
02:20:13,740 --> 02:20:16,740
And we'll get to a based on priority.

2111
02:20:18,100 --> 02:20:19,120
You see what we can try to do.

2112
02:20:19,200 --> 02:20:20,540
Yeah, maybe just before practice.

2113
02:20:20,540 --> 02:20:23,560
We've got 20 items and I'm going to do four this month.

2114
02:20:23,920 --> 02:20:24,440
That's fine.

2115
02:20:24,560 --> 02:20:25,820
And these will be pending with future.

2116
02:20:25,960 --> 02:20:27,180
And then we go and we know.

2117
02:20:35,910 --> 02:20:37,050
That's it for updates.

2118
02:20:39,270 --> 02:20:40,150
Budget process.

2119
02:20:40,570 --> 02:20:41,450
It's what times it.

2120
02:20:41,650 --> 02:20:42,070
I don't know.

2121
02:20:43,930 --> 02:20:48,830
So I suggest that we at least spend about ten minutes on budget process,

2122
02:20:48,890 --> 02:20:49,990
which is to start it.

2123
02:20:50,810 --> 02:20:54,150
And then then decide whether it's on a special meeting to take care of

2124
02:20:54,150 --> 02:21:02,690
I would like your process and roll a board of finance and especially, or we can see how far

2125
02:21:02,690 --> 02:21:03,510
we get to that.

2126
02:21:04,930 --> 02:21:07,410
What is the group's...

2127
02:21:07,930 --> 02:21:12,630
We might want to ask you a special meeting for that, roll a board of finance, I think it's

2128
02:21:12,630 --> 02:21:18,770
particularly significant for it, so that everybody understands, overlaps or inlays or backs

2129
02:21:18,770 --> 02:21:22,850
of the board and who's responsible for it and how it gets done and all that sort of thing.

2130
02:21:22,850 --> 02:21:25,330
I think we were just sort of talking about all of that.

2131
02:21:27,210 --> 02:21:28,670
And how about budget process?

2132
02:21:29,130 --> 02:21:30,910
If we want to have that in a special meeting also?

2133
02:21:32,450 --> 02:21:33,670
That's the spreadsheet you did.

2134
02:21:33,890 --> 02:21:34,510
That's what I'm talking about.

2135
02:21:34,950 --> 02:21:38,850
I think it's worth it.

2136
02:21:39,590 --> 02:21:39,770
Yeah.

2137
02:21:39,770 --> 02:21:39,850
I think it's worth it.

2138
02:21:40,250 --> 02:21:40,390
Yeah.

2139
02:21:40,390 --> 02:21:43,050
I think it's worth taking five or ten minutes to look at it

2140
02:21:43,050 --> 02:21:44,510
to get our minds set.

2141
02:21:44,850 --> 02:21:46,250
But special meeting.

2142
02:21:47,070 --> 02:21:48,350
Let's talk about date now.

2143
02:21:48,570 --> 02:21:49,390
Before we see that.

2144
02:21:50,750 --> 02:21:50,990
Yeah.

2145
02:21:50,990 --> 02:21:58,150
We want to do the actos in the name, so I'm going to see the next one of the camera

2146
02:21:58,150 --> 02:21:58,630
already.

2147
02:22:09,120 --> 02:22:11,140
And what's today today is Tuesday, right?

2148
02:22:11,340 --> 02:22:11,820
22nd.

2149
02:22:12,200 --> 02:22:17,320
So what about October 13th is, it's after the Columbus holiday, so I don't know what

2150
02:22:17,320 --> 02:22:20,420
that means to people, but October 13th.

2151
02:22:20,560 --> 02:22:21,560
Looks good.

2152
02:22:22,020 --> 02:22:24,200
So that's a door to select the meeting.

2153
02:22:24,520 --> 02:22:25,460
That's a useful decision.

2154
02:22:28,880 --> 02:22:29,600
I can't do this.

2155
02:22:30,590 --> 02:22:37,530
If you can do the 14th, the 14th of Wednesday, anybody having issues with the 14th?

2156
02:22:38,010 --> 02:22:40,570
I'm sorry, but wait a minute, I think we might do. What?

2157
02:22:40,630 --> 02:22:45,230
We want to go over the budget process and fortify natural, very small facilities.

2158
02:22:45,710 --> 02:22:51,770
But I think the budget process is exact. It would be important for you to be, because you're a key part of that process.

2159
02:22:52,950 --> 02:22:54,830
14th, we can't do it.

2160
02:22:55,030 --> 02:22:55,570
We cannot do it.

2161
02:22:55,570 --> 02:22:56,990
Or we'd have to switch.

2162
02:23:00,950 --> 02:23:02,550
What do you tell me what you had wanted to do?

2163
02:23:03,960 --> 02:23:05,680
Are you

2164
02:23:10,830 --> 02:23:14,290
looking at the week of the 12th?

2165
02:23:14,350 --> 02:23:14,750
Yes.

2166
02:23:15,870 --> 02:23:17,150
15th, 16th, 16th.

2167
02:23:17,590 --> 02:23:17,990
15th.

2168
02:23:18,030 --> 02:23:18,970
Can we do 14th?

2169
02:23:19,130 --> 02:23:19,730
Then we'll just move.

2170
02:23:20,590 --> 02:23:20,790
What?

2171
02:23:21,070 --> 02:23:23,370
Do we do 14th and we can switch it?

2172
02:23:23,630 --> 02:23:24,370
To another night?

2173
02:23:24,710 --> 02:23:25,170
I have that.

2174
02:23:25,330 --> 02:23:26,450
There's a debated license.

2175
02:23:26,710 --> 02:23:27,330
I can't go.

2176
02:23:28,610 --> 02:23:30,370
I'll go to the 14th.

2177
02:23:30,390 --> 02:23:30,810
I'll go to the 14th.

2178
02:23:30,810 --> 02:23:31,370
I have the 14th.

2179
02:23:32,490 --> 02:23:32,890
I'll go to the 14th.

2180
02:23:32,890 --> 02:23:33,610
So you can go.

2181
02:23:33,610 --> 02:23:34,090
How about this?

2182
02:23:34,370 --> 02:23:35,070
How about this?

2183
02:23:35,350 --> 02:23:35,710
How about this?

2184
02:23:35,950 --> 02:23:39,070
I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,

2185
02:24:09,070 --> 02:24:14,730
for a meeting on the 27th. Okay, so, so moving forward this now.

2186
02:24:17,470 --> 02:24:18,070
We don't want to do a

2187
02:24:18,070 --> 02:24:19,030
little next week.

2188
02:24:21,620 --> 02:24:25,080
Do you want to say the 7th? I am. You can't do it. I know.

2189
02:24:25,600 --> 02:24:28,340
Next week. Yes. 7th is fine.

2190
02:24:36,680 --> 02:24:38,560
Well actually, I'm back then.

2191
02:24:38,880 --> 02:24:43,340
October 7th? Yeah. Does that look for everything? I can't do it.

2192
02:24:43,340 --> 02:24:44,500
I think that's about the same.

2193
02:24:46,720 --> 02:24:48,080
We have a talk about a time.

2194
02:24:49,700 --> 02:24:51,920
But the planning is holding this here at six o'clock,

2195
02:24:52,100 --> 02:24:53,780
so we'd have to be upstairs, but we can be.

2196
02:24:53,780 --> 02:24:54,620
Or is that a little room?

2197
02:24:55,100 --> 02:24:56,640
Yeah, we need to figure it out.

2198
02:24:57,360 --> 02:24:58,340
Do they have a special meeting?

2199
02:25:00,240 --> 02:25:01,180
Planning is not necessary.

2200
02:25:01,560 --> 02:25:02,120
I thought they were.

2201
02:25:03,760 --> 02:25:05,220
Oh, this is East Hampton.

2202
02:25:05,440 --> 02:25:05,660
I'm sorry.

2203
02:25:06,400 --> 02:25:07,620
Oh, it's East Hampton.

2204
02:25:08,440 --> 02:25:08,820
Oh, it's East Hampton.

2205
02:25:09,440 --> 02:25:12,920
I don't think you guys could have heard about this.

2206
02:25:12,920 --> 02:25:19,420
drop there for a second so is there any nose for our cover set?

2207
02:25:21,200 --> 02:25:30,480
this is not hot, it's six o'clock, it's six o'clock, it's six o'clock, it's six o'clock,

2208
02:25:30,960 --> 02:25:32,540
it's special meeting.

2209
02:25:35,890 --> 02:25:38,610
Okay, initial thoughts on the budget process, I thought it was

2210
02:25:38,610 --> 02:25:43,230
literally good, I'm just wondering, some of them I really like the Christmas holidays,

2211
02:25:43,230 --> 02:25:49,050
So I think it would be kind of checks off in the days of the year, you know, from a little steps.

2212
02:25:49,450 --> 02:25:55,670
Well, let's just, let's all just pull it up and let's just take five minutes walk for it.

2213
02:25:56,210 --> 02:26:01,750
But up the critique here, we don't have that we just, I just want to get everything in mind.

2214
02:26:02,450 --> 02:26:03,170
Think about it.

2215
02:26:03,210 --> 02:26:10,970
The biggest, the biggest biggest change is having the selectment for a period of logic and presented to the Board of Finance.

2216
02:26:10,970 --> 02:26:13,290
So that's the biggest change in this act.

2217
02:26:15,570 --> 02:26:18,510
And it's like, I'm happy to sit in on somebody

2218
02:26:18,510 --> 02:26:22,470
if you guys need me to, but that's the biggest change

2219
02:26:22,470 --> 02:26:29,450
that has to get accepted by the five of these.

2220
02:26:29,790 --> 02:26:31,310
So it's like that.

2221
02:26:31,550 --> 02:26:34,070
So if you look at it, I'll go through it.

2222
02:26:34,570 --> 02:26:36,830
The first thing that happens is create a budget template

2223
02:26:36,830 --> 02:26:38,130
by department.

2224
02:26:39,430 --> 02:26:48,110
And I have, well, so Paula, I did a lot of things last year and I transitioned a lot

2225
02:26:48,110 --> 02:26:55,730
of it to you because it was, I did it because very, so I'll, I'll still be willing to

2226
02:26:55,730 --> 02:27:00,370
help you, but I want to officially put it as you know. So create budget template by

2227
02:27:00,370 --> 02:27:04,630
Department of Budget and Honor. That's December 15th. That's the finance director.

2228
02:27:04,630 --> 02:27:09,110
create the liver, the budget memo, the budget owners, that's the first

2229
02:27:09,110 --> 02:27:13,930
selectment, and that's the letter you typically sent out. Receive budget

2230
02:27:13,930 --> 02:27:20,350
templates completed by budget owners by December 31st. That's the, you know, all the

2231
02:27:20,350 --> 02:27:26,150
budget owners submitting their numbers to the selectment. Setup meetings with

2232
02:27:26,150 --> 02:27:30,170
budget owners, so whatever you want to meet with the selectment would set up where

2233
02:27:30,170 --> 02:27:33,270
we set it up for the board of finance, we're not going to do that. It's going to be

2234
02:27:33,270 --> 02:27:39,890
management because you guys are managing them out of us, so consolidate all the department

2235
02:27:39,890 --> 02:27:42,390
ahead of templates in the master file that would be useful.

2236
02:27:44,490 --> 02:27:47,430
Meet with buggy farmers and

2237
02:27:49,090 --> 02:27:53,790
develop and develop a Sleckman buggy meetings 1, 2, 3. So you guys would set up buggy meetings

2238
02:27:53,790 --> 02:28:03,890
work together as a team. You'd finalize a selection budget by February 15 and submit it to us

2239
02:28:03,890 --> 02:28:09,490
for a finance. In the meantime, the Board of Finance and the Finance Director needs to develop

2240
02:28:09,490 --> 02:28:15,350
the revenue and then ultimately the millerate and we have to do that by February 15. And then

2241
02:28:15,350 --> 02:28:23,010
we have some budget workshops that we review the selection and budget next March 2, 2016 and that

2242
02:28:23,010 --> 02:28:30,910
at the time frame, give feedback to the Selectman by March 17, revise the Leckman budget

2243
02:28:30,910 --> 02:28:31,570
if required.

2244
02:28:31,890 --> 02:28:36,110
So based on the feedback, select them and revise the budget, and the Selectman finalizes

2245
02:28:36,110 --> 02:28:45,790
the budget, and along with the Finance Director and then the Board of Finance finalizes

2246
02:28:45,790 --> 02:28:52,130
the Miller-A, and there's a Tom meeting on May 4th, and then there's a meeting following

2247
02:28:52,130 --> 02:28:54,650
and Tom meeting on a fourth of this report on that meeting.

2248
02:28:55,190 --> 02:28:57,310
Then we sent out postcard mailers and newspapers,

2249
02:28:58,170 --> 02:29:00,810
May 6, legal notice, May 6,

2250
02:29:01,250 --> 02:29:05,490
Tom meeting, May 17, Tom refer on them, May 25th.

2251
02:29:05,830 --> 02:29:07,550
So I think...

2252
02:29:07,550 --> 02:29:09,630
I think we're missing a real important step.

2253
02:29:09,710 --> 02:29:10,650
I think it looks great.

2254
02:29:11,050 --> 02:29:12,970
But the first step is, I think, in November,

2255
02:29:13,110 --> 02:29:14,530
the Board of Finance should be discussing,

2256
02:29:15,150 --> 02:29:18,370
what do we think we can use for budget?

2257
02:29:18,530 --> 02:29:20,790
What's a potential budget number?

2258
02:29:20,790 --> 02:29:24,270
because for me to go develop a budget when I don't know whether I can have a

2259
02:29:24,270 --> 02:29:28,110
offer sending increase or I've got to keep it in two and a half percent increase.

2260
02:29:28,730 --> 02:29:32,770
I don't know it's helpful to managers without knowing what might be the parameters

2261
02:29:32,770 --> 02:29:34,550
or at least within recent.

2262
02:29:35,730 --> 02:29:39,930
And I think in the special meeting we should have, I just wrote it down, we should discuss that

2263
02:29:39,930 --> 02:29:45,110
because I'm not sure is it the select pin or is it so, so, for instance, we get together

2264
02:29:45,110 --> 02:29:48,730
to border finance and say we think you should only go up three percent, is that our role?

2265
02:29:48,730 --> 02:29:52,050
I think it is, I definitely think it is.

2266
02:29:52,150 --> 02:29:52,410
I do.

2267
02:29:53,890 --> 02:29:54,810
It's been missing.

2268
02:29:55,330 --> 02:29:56,870
Yeah, so we're going to have that.

2269
02:29:56,870 --> 02:29:59,670
I mean, as we start there, and then if they come back and say,

2270
02:29:59,910 --> 02:29:59,970
if we...

2271
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:02,240
We can't live without letting it happen to push back.

2272
02:30:02,940 --> 02:30:04,200
Okay, I don't know, sorry.

2273
02:30:05,540 --> 02:30:05,720
Okay.

2274
02:30:06,220 --> 02:30:09,600
But our, the recommendation has to be the reason for that to work.

2275
02:30:09,840 --> 02:30:10,620
It's not like that.

2276
02:30:10,880 --> 02:30:13,320
It's like you would think that the department will read the bill.

2277
02:30:13,340 --> 02:30:14,480
It's more or less.

2278
02:30:14,640 --> 02:30:14,780
Yeah.

2279
02:30:14,800 --> 02:30:16,700
I'm happy we would end up being, we'll have to be.

2280
02:30:16,700 --> 02:30:17,240
We'll have to be.

2281
02:30:17,240 --> 02:30:18,860
Right. We can't come in with a zero percent.

2282
02:30:19,180 --> 02:30:20,900
If salaries are going up 3%.

2283
02:30:20,900 --> 02:30:21,020
Yeah.

2284
02:30:22,220 --> 02:30:25,960
So, I think I mean, I love this, I think it's a great thing.

2285
02:30:26,140 --> 02:30:29,980
I'm just, um, want to throw out, if we get two stuck on our way,

2286
02:30:29,980 --> 02:30:35,840
dates, but maybe this is good. We put them at first or tell them region board a day and

2287
02:30:35,840 --> 02:30:41,040
that kind of day because they always have their hearings and all that public. So if we're

2288
02:30:41,040 --> 02:30:45,260
committed to a date and then they throw in their hearing of the same date, then that gets

2289
02:30:45,260 --> 02:30:49,760
people mad because they don't often be in two places. So we're going to find those dates in

2290
02:30:49,760 --> 02:30:54,160
this special meeting. I can more I look at it to write it. Yeah, it's that. This is our

2291
02:30:54,160 --> 02:30:55,300
So we're locked in for a game.

2292
02:30:55,360 --> 02:30:57,140
Which is actually excellent before, right?

2293
02:30:57,740 --> 02:31:00,940
We were driving the train just out of there.

2294
02:31:01,520 --> 02:31:04,360
You know, between steps, like 1920, there,

2295
02:31:04,420 --> 02:31:06,160
you've got a good six-leaf dance.

2296
02:31:09,920 --> 02:31:12,640
Is it as for a song we've been too tight

2297
02:31:12,640 --> 02:31:15,660
is that we have that case being an extra workshop?

2298
02:31:16,100 --> 02:31:18,780
Well, well, what I did here was,

2299
02:31:18,980 --> 02:31:21,080
well, the time meeting is set in stone

2300
02:31:21,080 --> 02:31:22,460
because it's our workings.

2301
02:31:22,800 --> 02:31:27,780
And I wanted to leave space because for the unknown.

2302
02:31:29,260 --> 02:31:31,240
That's the only reason I have that.

2303
02:31:31,380 --> 02:31:34,060
And that might be where the school all that comes in.

2304
02:31:34,460 --> 02:31:39,180
So we can't really set our ability till we know what our ADM is going to be,

2305
02:31:39,300 --> 02:31:40,200
all those kind of things.

2306
02:31:41,260 --> 02:31:42,580
So kind of didn't know right.

2307
02:31:43,800 --> 02:31:43,900
Yeah.

2308
02:31:43,900 --> 02:31:44,920
It's not my final moment.

2309
02:31:45,140 --> 02:31:45,460
No, right.

2310
02:31:47,720 --> 02:31:50,760
And then I just wanted to, you know.

2311
02:31:50,760 --> 02:31:55,960
I haven't checked this against next year's Board of Finance Weeks.

2312
02:31:55,980 --> 02:31:59,100
I didn't know if there was an overlap on any of these workshops.

2313
02:32:00,000 --> 02:32:01,740
I looked at, I got that kind of date.

2314
02:32:01,960 --> 02:32:04,700
But the schedule.

2315
02:32:08,440 --> 02:32:10,780
And maybe we're going to need more and a half times a year,

2316
02:32:10,960 --> 02:32:13,940
depending on excited people because it's a small end.

2317
02:32:13,960 --> 02:32:14,340
Engaged.

2318
02:32:14,900 --> 02:32:15,640
I hope not.

2319
02:32:17,360 --> 02:32:21,180
Well, we have more than one, but that's because there's no one else in dates.

2320
02:32:23,160 --> 02:32:24,860
Thanks for taking the lead on the table.

2321
02:32:25,560 --> 02:32:26,760
Very nice that we're going to do.

2322
02:32:27,160 --> 02:32:30,560
Yeah, so we can now, now, I will restock to the next special meeting.

2323
02:32:30,960 --> 02:32:35,600
We'll kind of finalize this and then we'll go into a kind of broader discussion about our role.

2324
02:32:35,840 --> 02:32:41,420
And I guess it's kind of our role and in terms of a slightly involved, because it's kind of a natural conversation.

2325
02:32:42,860 --> 02:32:45,280
When we're talking about our role, we should probably say,

2326
02:32:45,460 --> 02:32:47,320
Well, that's not us, because that's you, you guys are great.

2327
02:32:47,500 --> 02:32:48,080
Yeah, that's you.

2328
02:32:48,080 --> 02:32:54,240
So we end up doing both our role in the role, kind of, by the fall, I think.

2329
02:32:57,760 --> 02:32:58,260
All right.

2330
02:33:00,500 --> 02:33:01,500
Any other business?

2331
02:33:04,530 --> 02:33:07,350
Okay, I think we can ask for a motion in adjourn.

2332
02:33:07,550 --> 02:33:08,670
So move second.

2333
02:33:09,430 --> 02:33:09,810
Favorite?

2334
02:33:10,230 --> 02:33:11,110
I don't know.

2335
02:33:11,430 --> 02:33:11,950
We're adjourned.
