[0:16] All right, it is 7 p.m., so I'll call the meeting of the Hon. Consellor Board to order.
[0:23] Are there any additions or deletions from the agenda?
[0:28] Let's see.
[0:33] Part of the Department would like to have a discussion.
[0:38] We'll have some on here.
[0:39] I didn't know you were that.
[0:42] All right, I'll seek a motion to add the fire department to the agenda in item 8.5.
[0:53] So, second motion by Jamie, second by Sebastian, and the fire department to the agenda at 8.5.
[1:03] All those in favor?
[1:04] Hi.
[1:05] I want to shoot carries.
[1:09] Alright.
[1:10] Two of the minutes from the семь board meeting August 31st.
[1:16] Motion to adjourn.
[1:18] Okay.
[1:18] The minute is focused.
[1:20] She is adjourned.
[1:21] Would you agree?
[1:21] Oh yeah.
[1:23] I mean let me let you turn right now.
[1:26] I'm ready.
[1:27] I'm ready to go.
[1:29] I'm ready to go.
[1:29] I'm a second.
[1:30] I'm a second.
[1:31] A second.
[1:31] Two of the other one.
[1:32] That's the rule.
[1:33] A second.
[1:34] I'm going to show you my swap, Jamie, executive by Sebastian, to approve the board meeting
[1:40] minutes of August 31st as presented. Any further discussion? All those in favour?
[1:48] Hi. Hi. Motion practice. All right, now we're on to public comments, which can be the best
[1:54] part of the meeting. Is there anyone that has public comments this evening for item not listed
[2:00] on the agenda. Yes sir. I just wanted to stop up and do this myself. My name is Al-Qaeda.
[2:08] I'm running as a candidate for banking this fort. And I wanted to open a conversation
[2:13] out because I need to carry on now, but should the town feel they have need should I
[2:19] be elected? Let's have that open or a conversation to meet the news of the town.
[2:29] The town
[2:30] you have your time. I don't want to make that kind of a page. I don't know, but you can certainly reach out to me in a really long time.
[2:39] Very good. Thank you.
[2:43] Anyone else? Anyone else on the call?
[2:46] We'll dispense the public comments.
[2:49] We are moving to line item five, which is review proposals received for the Benedict crossing bridge of abundance.
[2:56] We have a table copy here and that's okay.
[3:07] You can pose us and Katie, you put together a little memo with that.
[3:19] I think it's our email, right?
[3:21] It's the email button, yes.
[3:22] Do you want to speak a little bit about that, Katie?
[3:28] Yes, so the RFP closed at the end of August, you received one proposal from MSK and it is a couple different programs and groups that are a part of this one proposal, MSK engineers,
[3:48] heritage engineering and MW soils.
[3:52] MW, we're going to do the geotechnical piece.
[3:56] We're going to do the lead on that.
[3:57] Heritage engineering is going to be the bridge and structural
[4:00] E, and MSK is our prime consultant project manager
[4:04] in Andrews here to answer any questions.
[4:09] But essentially the scope of work is data review.
[4:12] Some field investigations.
[4:14] Geotechnical investigation with the soil.
[4:17] a structural evaluation, and physical reporting, and recommendations,
[4:24] and if we decided
[4:26] to move forward, we want to get the silver done before November 1st, around the end
[4:31] to do it with the weather constraints, but if you have any questions for Andrew, or if you
[4:37] want to speak to the trip of the zone.
[4:40] Yeah, so General Brosier, how kind of would break out if you have the initial data in a review
[4:46] for the other, and here in the real kind of part of the issue, part of it. And then, as far
[4:49] as the investigation, there is a board program that also involves excavating on the
[4:56] non-water side of the departments to dig down to see what actually are there for the departments.
[5:02] That is the major of the expense and the time is, no one really knows what these departments are,
[5:08] So the only way to know is that I'm going to make sense.
[5:13] Yeah, and like I said, it was a team effort.
[5:16] So Heritage is the structural engineer.
[5:19] These are very, too highly renowned specialists
[5:22] in this kind of avenue.
[5:24] So that's what we call together.
[5:28] Thank you.
[5:29] And any questions you could ask?
[5:32] Tell them if you have any questions.
[5:34] And my questions are financial.
[5:39] Kind of mine, too, but I've been able to build it.
[5:44] I know we're really tight budget wise here.
[5:48] Yeah, it's beyond what's the availability in the spring.
[5:56] I think it was just a similar availability to the borings.
[6:01] going to be in the probably books out of the most calm. But if you were to authorize and say
[6:08] you had two or three more stories that was probably fine. Because I mean, me looking at
[6:15] where we're at, what did you want to see? We're going to probably have to do some budgeting for the
[6:23] either marginal or my thought was to have a article on for the valley or the bridge to
[6:33] break to this.
[6:35] And I think that would be fine, you know, the British closed nothing.
[6:39] Nothing, nothing, nothing.
[6:40] Time is not going to.
[6:41] And typically have high water, April May.
[6:43] So by June, it would be slowly down low.
[6:47] Yeah.
[6:48] That would be the thing is the boring could be done at any time.
[6:51] that activation you're going to want to wait until it's really low-one because it's
[6:57] part of it is you're going to have to try and do a lot of the whole activity. So I
[7:01] deal with that D-Water would happen around August, you know, when you're going to say
[7:06] we're shooting out for a year for the extra radiation of the abundance. But you could
[7:13] do the boring in advance if you really wanted to, but you could push it out of a
[7:17] and find it out, you know, that whole year.
[7:22] I mean, I think we really got here from the fact that we have a large expenditure.
[7:30] For the cover bridge, and at the end of the day, we had to repair the cover bridge,
[7:40] and as we said before, the cover bridge is kind of like the trademark of Arlington, always, if you will.
[7:50] And it's still currently functional.
[7:53] It is still functional and it's not in such this repair that we have to recreate the whole thing, right?
[8:00] Historically accurate and all of that.
[8:03] I think that's how we did set money aside in the capital reserve fund this past year.
[8:14] but that's, you know, at this point we're 19 in change left and there after the covered
[8:20] bridge repair. So
[8:25] it would, I would lean towards having this as a specific article on the
[8:35] March ballot, the March ballot, was my initial thought.
[8:42] Dan and Glenn are here, and I think
[8:46] I'd like to have them weigh in on that as well.
[8:52] Maybe we table this discussion until the next meeting.
[8:57] I think the information.
[8:59] I appreciate you providing all that information.
[9:01] And we know kind of if we weigh.
[9:05] And then we're going to push it out.
[9:07] It'll be, you know, let's say we authorize in March.
[9:13] three months scheduling gets this June, the boring, and then late July, start the excavation,
[9:20] different August, and then we know what we're working with, and then that also puts a
[9:25] Senate good position, because then we know what we're working with, and then that brings us to the next
[9:30] I don't know if I'm going to follow in here.
[9:34] So for construction.
[9:38] That's my thought.
[9:40] I was looking at a budget loan to everything.
[9:44] Yeah.
[9:44] That's why I wanted to know.
[9:47] Yeah.
[9:47] I think I can regret to the other consultants.
[9:52] The only thing that could take, they might be a slight escalation for the
[9:58] forings because you know when those were going on with gas and diesel and stuff like that,
[10:02] these are diesel mommel rigs, you know, and so if they're, if there's people in
[10:06] tossing might, he might want that's probably more, but that's not what they thought.
[10:09] Same thing with the accelerator for doing that.
[10:11] Right, right.
[10:12] I was thin my lawsuit.
[10:13] Need less.
[10:15] No, no.
[10:17] It's just like you know, put them in the camera go to the staff.
[10:20] Oh, I just say it's stable if we're lucky, but you know, to that,
[10:26] point, my thought would be we had a three or five percent increase
[10:30] around that for the ballot. Yeah, that was all just just to hold it. Don't go to the
[10:34] penny. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know, there's got to be a little
[10:39] contingency there too. Yeah. And I can reach out to both of them and say,
[10:44] hey, this is what it's just like what it's thinking. We're going to be ready guys
[10:47] willing to do that. Well, we're all appreciate you doing that. And then I think next
[10:53] We are next meeting, we just read this and bring everybody together and discuss your work
[10:58] one and data that are here just to make sure they're onboard in the same manner.
[11:04] I'd probably won't be at the next meeting, but I'll make sure I share my thoughts.
[11:10] Yeah.
[11:10] I looked at the numbers, I just can't find 80,000 to steal from throughout the budget.
[11:19] I don't really agree that was my concern as well.
[11:22] And so do you want a motion to hold off until the next meeting?
[11:25] I don't think if it's a sense of the boards up a lot, I don't think we need a motion or anything for that.
[11:30] We'll just table this and put it on the next week, or next meetings agenda.
[11:36] I'll head this hand up.
[11:38] It's up.
[11:39] Just to maybe know where it is, but for a government is looking at inducing more money into
[11:47] transportation, the roads and bridges, this next come in gear, so I would definitely
[11:52] keep your eye open for granted money and funding along those areas.
[11:57] Yeah, we're always looking for great numbers.
[12:00] You're getting desperate, we need it.
[12:01] If you guys haven't had a conversation with BCRC, you may want to see me.
[12:06] Okay.
[12:07] Because the original sculpting study was under, it was under a great ritual age.
[12:14] So you may be able to apply for it.
[12:17] You know, it might be more touching based within that, yeah, I mean, if something appears
[12:24] between now and our next meeting or, you know, that is a lot, you know, they should
[12:31] regret that it will have a number of additional requirements in the worse.
[12:38] So, that will change our price because you're going to have to talk to more state agencies.
[12:43] and so there's...
[12:45] But, you know, it's money.
[12:47] You know, we're going to have to have that with the cover bridge.
[12:51] And the...
[12:51] Don't say it for work.
[12:52] Is it the same for the amount of money we were going to get was...
[12:55] Yeah, we were not...
[12:56] We decided we needed to fix the bridge.
[12:59] Yeah, we would still be talking.
[13:01] Yeah, we would be going to be...
[13:02] We're going to be...
[13:02] We're going to be going to be...
[13:03] We're going to be...
[13:03] We're going to be going to be...
[13:03] We're going to be going to be...
[13:03] Go to the equipment down there today.
[13:07] Great.
[13:08] Yeah.
[13:08] Correct.
[13:08] That... that... that... that... that... that... that... it was all stressed out of your timeline too.
[13:11] because you have to go through the whole M&VMAS process.
[13:16] Yep, yep.
[13:17] Okay, thanks, Andrew.
[13:18] Thank you.
[13:19] Thank you.
[13:21] Right, so we'll table that until next meeting.
[13:25] I bring this to mind, I owe six, which is the website development hosting services.
[13:31] Katie said, everybody, the proposals that we have.
[13:37] Did you send everybody the one-page cheat sheet?
[13:40] I do, you know that I pray in a private life.
[13:42] Yep, no, I pray in a private life.
[13:44] So you guys said, I appreciate that.
[13:47] It's how I do these typically.
[13:50] So we had three respondents, still works,
[13:55] prominent source and Kittales public works,
[14:02] that responded.
[14:03] We had a fourth and they pulled out due
[14:06] to resourcing availability,
[14:09] which I do appreciate that they were very transparent with us.
[14:13] Yeah, that's a venturing into a contract and then getting stuck because they don't have resources to get started.
[14:21] You know, of these, and I'll tell you in my opinion,
[14:26] what I went through it really was initially to throw out the one in the middle on the sheet,
[14:34] promise source based on cost and that brought us, you know, we're not going to be able to, you know, we're not going to be able to be able to be the other thing.
[14:45] There was some cats with Katales on the support and also on the number of and I did a more in depth review which you don't have me or me not have there in that I think based on the number.
[15:00] Number, documents and pages that we have to index these memory documents kind of think is thought of as a page.
[15:10] There would be a lot of additional work for either the town administrator or other staff to complete the website built out, where it still works and can all of that in the development.
[15:25] The implementation fee for so works is within our budget of what we estimated, I think I don't have the book in front of me, but I think we put 15 in it, didn't we?
[15:37] 12. So they're spot on with my initial thought and the hosting and support, you know, it's a fixed rate,
[15:52] where as Kattalis has got that 6% annual isolation, so, yeah, at the end, you know, the final thing that really drove me was a six-week development time versus three to six months, so I think we could enter into an agreement with so it will probably take two weeks to complete commercials.
[16:22] And, you know, we could sign that potentially at the next meeting, would be my thought.
[16:29] Katie, you can work with them on commercial agreement, and then I can reveal it, would be my thought.
[16:37] And they already followed all of the instructions in the RFP to ensure the governing law and venue work appropriate.
[16:45] for us. So, that was so, did that? Yes. Yeah. Where is? I mean, it's selling a lot like you
[16:56] get me paid for. It was so over Catalyst and I definitely being in the software as a service
[17:06] industry. I agree with you that the lack of, I should support for like the migration all that kind
[17:16] That's the challenge, right? I mean, if they get the base up and then we have to migrate everything over.
[17:24] It doesn't ever get done. It doesn't ever get done. It does get done. It'll be a mess.
[17:28] Right. Right.
[17:29] And I don't know if either of you had the opportunity.
[17:33] I looked at both Stowa and Promet did sample sites for us.
[17:41] They both worked well over mobile devices as well as on desktop, like you safari, so it worked well.
[17:54] I know that works in there.
[17:55] That's the one that's checking.
[18:01] So I was pleased with that.
[18:03] They actually both of them and I don't know what your opinion was if you looked at the demos that they both looked almost identical.
[18:09] to be honest, they were both very, very similar and layout, and obviously we have some design input into that,
[18:22] as they build it out, which we use quite a bit of Katie's time probably, in the initial, in the initial buildout and design meetings,
[18:31] and then they'll get started with the data migration.
[18:37] I think I would, you know, if somebody wants to have a motion to, and I would say to authorize
[18:44] Katie to negotiate commercials, and then we could make the final motion inside it.
[18:51] Sure.
[18:51] If then, actually.
[18:52] And it's to negotiate with so specifically.
[18:54] Yeah, I would make a motion for time-ministering candidates
[18:58] into the beginning negotiations
[19:00] about commercials with still works
[19:02] for the creation of an Arlington Table website.
[19:06] Second, that motion.
[19:07] Motion by Sebastian Seconded by Jamie
[19:10] to authorize teleministrator Dixon's
[19:13] University of Commercials with still works
[19:16] for the Table website redesign.
[19:19] Any further discussion?
[19:21] Hearing none, all those in favor?
[19:23] I push in houses, just let me know when I can buy as I'm the color type of a place.
[19:35] I think I put some tips in there or what I would talk about.
[19:40] So yeah.
[19:42] I think the biggest, it's really, can we get code access on GitHub?
[19:48] And I suspect, you know, my research there owned by a soul proprietor, but I'm sure that there's quite a few people in there, so just need a succession cause that they love playing with the soul proprietor, soul proprietor, something happened.
[20:07] But the fact that they can do it in the 6th week, they are quite a few people behind you.
[20:11] And if they've got a built-in financial penalty, they missed that.
[20:15] Yes, yes.
[20:16] Yeah, which is nice.
[20:18] And they're holding themselves accountable.
[20:19] Yes.
[20:20] So we'll probably find you before I go.
[20:21] Yeah, yeah.
[20:23] Perfect.
[20:25] Oh, right.
[20:27] That's good.
[20:28] We'll get moving on that.
[20:29] Next item is item 7 traffic ordinance permit.
[20:34] And this is for the one that occupies running of the Turkey case.
[20:41] And I think if it's a rather milk-packed ordinance, I can just approve of it, because this has to do it.
[20:48] Rough closures.
[20:49] There's a map involved around how I wanted to get your all approval before we go.
[20:56] But it's well ahead of time.
[20:58] It's November 26.
[21:00] Thank you.
[21:01] Thank you.
[21:10] I think we've just gone through before. They don't really block a lot of the traffic and it's
[21:21] We're fairly quick.
[21:23] Yeah.
[21:24] It says here five minutes.
[21:27] I mean, yep.
[21:29] I don't.
[21:30] Because I leave from Fisher.
[21:31] They go over East Arlington and around.
[21:34] What not?
[21:35] So I would.
[21:37] It's from 9 to 10.
[21:38] There's.
[21:39] Yeah.
[21:40] Yeah.
[21:41] I'm Thanksgiving day.
[21:44] I'm not going that.
[21:46] I'm not going that.
[21:47] I would say this is okay to.
[21:53] I'll make a motion to approve the traffic ordinance permit for the running of the turkeys by back to the rally runners on
[22:04] 26 November 26.
[22:08] I'll second motion by Jamie second by Sebastian to approve the traffic ordinance permit for the running of the turkeys by the Baton Hill Valley runners club and any further discussion.
[22:21] Hearing none all those in favor.
[22:25] Anyone opposed?
[22:28] Any extensions?
[22:30] All right, sorry. There's only three of us. I know, sorry. So you know, should pass it.
[22:37] I think I can sort of think I get it, let me else. That one's all the time. All right.
[22:44] Great to supply an item, water department. And we have some proposals for heat pumps for the cell throat building, correct?
[22:56] Yes.
[22:57] Yes.
[22:57] And Josh included a memo that provided a summary of it and how we're going to use the
[23:03] right or the grant money and that there's a small portion of it that it exceeds what we
[23:10] have for the grant money by six hundred and four hundred and dollars of forty-two cents.
[23:14] If we were to go with his recommendation and he just wanted to provide you guys with a
[23:23] couple options.
[23:26] Check for you.
[23:36] A couple notes that I had for reading this earlier.
[23:45] This doesn't include electrical correct?
[23:49] No.
[23:53] So besides covering this 649.2,
[23:58] we'll have to cover electrical work
[24:02] to wire it off, right?
[24:04] I thought he was having the opportunity to get so that it was ready for this, ready for this, but we probably still have to have an outside disconnect and solve the virus.
[24:20] What do you need? He's a bear.
[24:25] Or did he have that put in?
[24:27] That's what I was doing.
[24:28] I don't remember.
[24:29] I don't remember.
[24:30] I don't remember having electrical.
[24:32] Don't remember.
[24:33] Is there any way you can try to pay him?
[24:39] My other...
[24:41] And it's simply a...
[24:45] Symptics.
[24:46] Is that they cost saving?
[24:48] It really is an electron cost savings from the $2,000 rebate.
[24:52] That's a capital cost savings.
[24:56] Yeah. Long-term cost savings would be a reduction in electric usage over a strip heater.
[25:04] You know, the $2,000 rebates a capital reduction.
[25:11] This year, running three of those as opposed to regular air conditioners, has dropped over $100 a month.
[25:17] Wow. Well, remember, we don't have air conditioning in there today.
[25:20] No, I'm just saying at home.
[25:21] Oh, yeah, well they might say, oh, yeah, that makes sense deducted dramatically, but in February
[25:29] I'm like not being the same stuff, so we'll see.
[25:33] But the two judges, I enjoy the same thing in place and because I've been paid for out of the
[25:41] grand.
[26:06] Okay, and do you have money in your budget to cover that additional electrical work in addition
[26:11] to the 64942?
[26:13] Next year, which I'm
[26:19] going to be reworking some of the electrical anyways for me, but
[26:23] someone is going to have to get carried over into next year, just like the front door
[26:29] to get installed.
[26:30] So we're going to have a little bit of expenses going into next year.
[26:35] And I'll increase it now for more or less just to pay for a little bit of labor and stuff.
[26:41] Okay.
[26:45] I think that answers my question.
[26:46] I'm good with that. So in there's room in the panel, right? So we're really just have to put a disc
[26:51] connect in.
[26:53] Yes, so it'll just be. It's only separate disconnect and we're in a pretty much every thing needs to get
[27:00] everywhere than that in the warehouse. So yeah. Yeah, we have now a new panel ready to do power
[27:09] And so we think that we get away into there that we already have to pay for.
[27:15] Gotcha.
[27:15] We'll start with the next year.
[27:17] Perfect.
[27:18] We got rid of the glass pieces, so we're one step further.
[27:23] Okay.
[27:25] Excellent.
[27:25] That answers my question.
[27:29] Thank you.
[27:30] Thank you, Josh.
[27:36] I'm good with.
[27:39] I looked over the two quotes.
[27:40] But I think I agree with Josh that the peak efficiency,
[27:46] quote, once a few dollars more,
[27:49] it's not significant, and that also, I think, is this the ability, I think you wrote
[27:58] in here, too, also add one upstairs, right, add a head of stairs,
[28:06] where did I read that?
[28:10] Oh, yeah, right in future scalability, easily integrated second swallowing it up stairs
[28:15] in the future, see you that for storage,
[28:21] and thank you, Mr. Visi, and it's our really good
[28:24] unit, so we've
[28:30] got all that 649, 42, and I think we can find that.
[28:36] It also, the one thing that he won't need to run is the dehumidifier when you get the air
[28:41] conditioning in there, so that'll probably offset some of the electricity because those
[28:46] are not efficient whatsoever in
[28:51] that part of the time of the basement.
[28:55] So yeah.
[28:58] What does it mean?
[29:00] I guess one of them is up to you.
[29:03] All right.
[29:06] I will make a motion to, is release the remaining grant funding to move forward with the peak efficiency.
[29:15] The final question for the
[29:20] South Redwell House.
[29:22] Thank you.
[29:23] And do you want to just
[29:24] add to the total project?
[29:26] For the total project, so for
[29:29] really through a meaning 5,000 to 1,000,
[29:31] that was a 6,000 success toward the total project cost of 5,000,
[29:35] and 21 dollars in paid cents.
[29:40] So, a second?
[29:41] I'll second.
[29:42] Motion by Sebastian, seconded by Jamie
[29:45] to use the grant funds at 5,271 and 66 towards the peak efficiency heat pump flow for a total
[29:55] project cost of $5,920 in each sense, and he further
[30:00] discussion. All those in favour? Aye. Aye. Motion passes. There's just a hint. All right. Now, words that are added, I have 8.5, which is the fire department.
[30:13] So, I started off, I just wanted to think that the highway crew for falling down there,
[30:22] we'll be using that facility on the 22nd and the 26th for an extrication school that we have going on.
[30:31] So, thank you to them for getting that prepared for us.
[30:34] Any other items?
[30:37] The other item, if you notice the RV, you guys don't need a dust, it's not on site, it's off site.
[30:46] So since you've marked going a few of the other members, I've been working.
[30:50] That'll be ready for its first road trip to the school.
[30:56] On the second Tuesday in October for fire prevention.
[31:00] They've plumbed in the smoke machine and all that, built some stage slate for kids to sit on and everything.
[31:09] So that'll be going out on its first road trip.
[31:13] So we're pretty excited about that.
[31:14] I've talked to Katie to check in to about if we need some sort of extra insurance on it or whatever to read DLCs.
[31:25] That's a good thing. I know you guys are questioning the last month that I was sitting there.
[31:29] So it's up for working on it, and I was ready to go on the road.
[31:34] And then our sole reason here tonight was we've heard a discussion.
[31:41] When we're coming up towards elections again, and we didn't know if we wanted to stay on one year or switch to three year terms.
[31:52] a lot of fire burns around us, or three returns for cheese, because one year is kind of hard.
[31:58] You get something started, and then the next year, somebody else gets loaded in, and all
[32:05] the time money that you put into something they don't like, and we start the system all
[32:11] over again.
[32:13] We don't know who it falls under.
[32:16] We've talked to Jamie a little bit, and he said to bring it here to you guys, so we're just
[32:21] to get a feeler of where we're going to go and it doesn't have to happen this year, you know,
[32:27] we just wanted to bring this discussion out and see, you know, we've heard discussion,
[32:33] you know, people would like to see this year and everything and so we just wanted to open it up
[32:38] and, you know, we can pass that on to other needs and so is that so we brought that up and
[32:49] That's you, or is that in the, no, because we take the nominations, and then a point based on that.
[32:58] Yes,
[33:01] or is it in our, our, our town articles?
[33:06] I think it would be a town, I think, I think so too.
[33:11] So, we've brought this up in the past, we've never really fully gone into it and looked
[33:19] at it and whatnot.
[33:21] We did talk about it in the past, as far as financial aid makes sense because a new
[33:27] chief comes in, one of the first things they've got to do is get the communications and
[33:31] all that put in their truck.
[33:33] So, you're talking a few hundred dollars or a thousand dollars there.
[33:36] and then the equipment that gets handed out and so on and so forth.
[33:44] Moving into a three-year term, you're limiting how often that changes.
[33:49] So if they're in for three years and they're everybody likes them
[33:53] and they get another three years, then you're not making those changes every year or every three years.
[34:00] So financially it makes sense for us as setting budgets
[34:05] we're going forward. And at any time as we know we have the authority to remove someone
[34:13] if they're not performing with them. Correctly we can say that, so it's not. So if somebody's,
[34:20] yeah, two cheese comments say number three isn't holding their own or whatever,
[34:25] and such like we can make that change throughout the years as we need. And I know,
[34:31] like when we bought the new RMS system, we locked in for a five, five, five, four, five.
[34:38] Well, three years would then a two-year auction, we shouldn't give it a buzz or whatever,
[34:44] and that was mainly because we weren't going to put all the work into it.
[34:48] Right, and it's one-year, right, it started right again.
[34:53] And there was quite a bit of work to get that stood up. So in just doing a quick search here,
[35:01] that would either, it does fall under the select board according to Vermont statute, and is typically
[35:09] defined by either the town charter or town policy or municipal regulation.
[35:21] So, unfortunately, I think it's going to have to fall and you to try to figure out where?
[35:27] I found all current policies and articles, and there's a ton of documents, so I'll look for it.
[35:39] I think we should do that research and then move this to the next meeting and we'll have
[35:56] and Glenn, as well, which I think is important, but I don't just agree with your
[36:06] summarization and from a pure cost perspective, it and stability as well makes most sense.
[36:15] We've taken on a lot of new things like the grant. You know, you know, you switch and now they don't
[36:20] to do the grow. We've locked up for two years, you know, in the mean for this grant right
[36:25] in the program, there's stuff that, you know, will be everywhere. It's been doing a lot of that stuff,
[36:31] and, you know, there's stuff that we've locked into that if we switch, that might not happen anymore,
[36:38] and now we've paid for this opportunity, and not remuneration. So again, it all comes a lot of
[36:43] that from down to financial obligations, it's just, it costs thousands of dollars to change
[36:49] just the turnout here. Yeah, I went from the white helmets back to a black
[36:54] helmet or whatever it. And I was just right got one one step back from
[37:02] everything that you're talking about which has extreme merit. And that is just
[37:06] if we take one step back and just talk about stability. And if a chief was to
[37:16] change every year, it's not unlike hiring a new employee or having an employee change their role within your organization that you probably
[37:30] We have at least 90 days of onboarding. So you're losing between three and six months of any effective error for onboarding, right? And typically as an employer, you would make that change like if somebody got a promotion.
[37:47] And you would understand that because you're looking that they're not going to leave.
[37:51] And they're going to be in a position either after three years or four or five years, so I can invest three to six months in onboarding because it was like 90 days peak and actually it's going to help the officers under the team because that onboarding that old that you're talking about being done over three or six years and hope that that next assist and chief for the one under them is going to be the next one.
[38:18] So to not only get in a year, you get more time than growing in the past.
[38:22] That's what we have.
[38:23] Really, if you look at it in different than us, employers, hiring really valuable employees
[38:30] that we know can grow in a position, and that would be like your assistant officers
[38:34] and assistant chiefs and officers, below you, that you're mentoring them to move into that role.
[38:41] Here's what you go.
[38:42] So, I think our takeaway here is the Katie will do a little research for us and we can visit that and just add that to the agenda item for next meeting.
[38:55] You know, I don't know if you guys want to, but if you wanted it, so that is just not, you know, Vince probably would have been here tonight if there wasn't a soccer game.
[39:03] So it's just not us chiefs in here. If you wanted to open some discussion up to other members of it, you know, so you're not just getting our side.
[39:11] I think it'll be on the agenda for the next meeting, so if Vince or anyone else wants to come, you know, it'll be in the agenda item, so we're going to be more than having to entertain that at the next meeting.
[39:26] So absolutely, you know, he has our commitment to the next meeting.
[39:30] Absolutely, yes, the tournament week or something, right?
[39:34] I think it's got, like, told me this morning on my standup calls.
[39:38] So, absolutely.
[39:42] I think it warrants consideration.
[39:45] So, we need to do our research on our side.
[39:50] So, before we're set with that, I got a question.
[39:53] I have a bill in the fire department.
[39:55] So, it was to be a link.
[39:57] How many times have we been to the location that I was at,
[40:01] twice on Saturday morning?
[40:03] I think we're all over the building.
[40:05] We're over our three.
[40:06] I know that for a fact.
[40:07] Is that also long?
[40:09] Riverhouse?
[40:09] Riverhouse?
[40:10] Yeah.
[40:11] I forgot about that.
[40:12] I forgot about the exact number.
[40:14] Give me the details.
[40:15] And we'll figure that out.
[40:16] So they've got a speed ring.
[40:19] And every time they open the door, does they have a speed attack?
[40:21] Right now, side it goes off.
[40:24] It should be a heat detector and not a speed attack.
[40:26] It looks like it goes on visibility.
[40:31] We used to have the same problem next door, though.
[40:33] Yes.
[40:33] is that all it did fix?
[40:34] And if I were to convince any C. So I have to review the A.C.
[40:37] C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C.
[40:38] But he said, I think we're used twice in a row.
[40:40] And I know now we're a part of I was headed up here.
[40:43] Yeah, I'm Saturday.
[40:45] Um, and I have some work to do that.
[40:50] I actually have an ask for either of the cheese.
[40:54] And that's around the alarm ordinance as well.
[40:56] So I had to ask.
[40:58] So if you can get me copies of the rodents,
[41:02] for those calls, I will work with Katie and Janet, and we'll figure out how we're going to
[41:10] build for those based on our ordinance.
[41:12] You will.
[41:13] One, four, three.
[41:15] Yes.
[41:18] That fit within the ordinance that we updated.
[41:21] Right.
[41:22] And then we'll figure that out.
[41:25] Do you tell them to have a list of our commercial, a large customers?
[41:32] In those times we've never, we do not.
[41:34] We've never, we've never, we've never, we've never.
[41:35] And that was how we were talking about it.
[41:37] Yeah, and because they need to have a permit.
[41:42] So somehow, and we did that halfway through the year,
[41:46] and my thought was that we need to get letters out
[41:51] so that we can start the permitting process to just,
[41:56] I think we should just run it on like a calendar here,
[42:00] would be the easiest and starting it like halfway through the year,
[42:03] and I didn't want to deal with pro-rate and everything, right?
[42:07] But I don't know how we get to,
[42:10] well, we should have a list of commercial properties in town, right?
[42:15] Somebody should have that list.
[42:17] But this also falls into someone and seeing Kate as well, right, which I could find out someone because with the laser
[42:26] The up on top of that kind of stuff. Yeah, with the sisters have a list of commercial properties
[42:33] Yeah, because I think we could word and send them notification with the ordinance and
[42:41] They've been identified as a commercial property and
[42:43] And here is our ordinance and we're going to need these requirements, starting on January 1 and include the application so that you just send it back to us.
[42:59] And we'll just see how many respondents we get. If you say hey, I need to get a permit for my firearm, right?
[43:07] And then, under the ones that we don't get a response to, we can just follow up.
[43:11] I mean, it's not like we have that many suit properties that I like in there was
[43:17] city.
[43:18] I know one of our past mailings that we had, we tried to eliminate commercial mailings to businesses
[43:28] and a lot of people had customary home occupations, which those don't apply to the
[43:34] more and more. But it did happen in the mainland because it shows a commercial property.
[43:42] So this is what we're going to get back for, so we'll start that right away. Yeah, we can sit through it.
[43:47] I mean, there's not that many properties in town that we could probably probably sit down
[43:52] to make a list that's been all of us right here for our mainstream. We could probably get pretty darn close.
[44:00] So, and I can tell you, a lot of we've got a better knock on wood.
[44:03] Oh, they have a lot of who've gotten a lot better.
[44:06] Well, they don't have the old tape dialers that are called the red phone.
[44:10] And I know we always made places as a mattress, but they go out to like three alarms a day.
[44:15] Yes, you know.
[44:17] Yes.
[44:17] And that gets old after a lot of hours we've gotten a better one again.
[44:21] The other thing that we can identify and I know from way,
[44:27] security system alarm calls so if you don't have you have to have a permit state permit for security system
[44:36] right and so if I have a security system and I didn't get a permit from the S.P. or
[44:43] Manchester if I lived in Manchester right Manchester PD was responding when they get a call from the central station and then they respond
[44:52] But there's no permit, and triggers a ladder to say here's your ability, you go.
[45:00] We've got to get a permit. This is the information we need, right? So I think we take a stab, we can get the list, probably pair it down, take a stab, but mailing them. And then that's, that would be the other ask then from the fire department itself is that when you have a run for a personal fire alarm call and they don't have a permit to trigger it. It's a lot of janitor, somebody, you know, or Katie knows so that we can trigger the appropriate paperwork to be set up.
[45:30] to get that permit filled out. And we're not talking so many properties.
[45:35] No, I, at some point, within a year, probably, I mean, we've probably got three properties
[45:40] that we've had multiple colors that. Yeah. And the ordinance is really designed around those, right?
[45:46] And the billing behooves you to have your own company come and find a solution for the false law.
[45:54] Mm-hmm.
[45:55] You know, we haven't had it here and I don't know if we were ending it to it a couple of times in tunnel and then I've worked to a date of up there.
[46:02] I've ever been a beaser, I heard one now, because you go there and the people don't know anything about the place.
[46:09] So then there's one column number, and we've spent how long on an appropriate leak when trying to call this person who doesn't answer.
[46:18] And then we had to try to make the decision, okay, what do we do?
[46:20] You know, we ended up shutting the heat off to the residents and telling the people, sorry, you can't be in there, you know, and you fight with the person there being a V because we can't get a hold of them, so that's not a trouble.
[46:34] It's really difficult situation because those aren't necessarily considered commercial and we don't have a town ordinance regulating short-term results, right?
[46:46] So I think those are a separate beast in it of itself.
[46:51] They can warrant a whole other conversation and in a whole can of worms.
[46:55] You know, I know that the community out in New York where my family so much has this
[47:02] whole, there was a huge, like, two-year can of worms around the short-term.
[47:08] I don't know if it's a new ordinance, how many you can have in the permitting and they just
[47:13] at the time that we're on a call and because we can't get up, you know, and those people don't know who to call.
[47:19] Right, you know, they looked at the theater at that.
[47:22] That's all, you just searched them to call for Airbnb or the RBO.
[47:28] At the time you go through the app and then since you made the booking, the ownership is changed hands.
[47:34] You're supposed to be here.
[47:35] You're never in a little seat, you're excited.
[47:37] There's a tough thing about down the road, I know they make it.
[47:40] I mean, some of the has an ordinance, you have to pay a small fee every year for the short-term
[47:45] rentals.
[47:46] Well, they've tried to protect it for me.
[47:47] That's right.
[47:48] And so I just wanted them and they're like, OK, well, add it for the next one.
[47:52] Yep.
[47:52] Hey, somebody's got to be available to answer the phone by one.
[47:55] Yeah, I did like a local property manager that's available to respond and those kind of things.
[48:01] Is it much unlike any other, you know, my security system at home or a commercial arm that you
[48:08] really requiring whether it's VSP or, you know, from a commercial or from permit here in Arlington
[48:16] that hey we have a list we know that who to call there's a problem.
[48:21] So we've been tossing around an idea of registration and stuff like that on the planning
[48:26] commission for a while. It would be really helpful if any one of you could come to the planning
[48:30] commission meeting and explain how something like that would be extremely useful because we
[48:36] We've referenced, like, hey, you know,
[48:39] acknowledge me that it might be useful for emergency services,
[48:42] but to hear exactly how the lack of information
[48:46] is impacting it would be extremely helpful
[48:48] and might push the binding commission
[48:49] to introduce something to the bylaws.
[48:52] You know, I thought those Airbnb's and those other ones
[48:56] that, you know, the people stand there
[48:58] don't know who to call, you know,
[49:00] you get at there is a place in the armistice offer
[49:04] you can have, you can put context for, to call.
[49:09] Yeah, which I think is, we were going to load for the commercial, but you could be there.
[49:14] Any property for an offer, absolutely.
[49:18] So should we...
[49:19] Elegy, I don't know, we're here.
[49:21] Do either one of us from...
[49:22] Yeah, I'll let you know when the next thing is.
[49:25] Yeah.
[49:25] And I know.
[49:26] Like, I've stayed in, like, a few air CNBs or VRBs, and some are really good at having a less.
[49:34] I mean that sheet that says in case of emergency,
[49:36] that's what you call.
[49:38] And then there's other ones that you get there
[49:39] and you're like, I found the key and you're kind of calling me.
[49:42] Yeah, yeah.
[49:44] Yeah.
[49:44] Like, how long up there?
[49:45] We just ask for them to put in their service
[49:48] so like, the propane.
[49:49] You know, who do you use?
[49:50] If I can't get all the view, we're going to call you.
[49:53] You're a propane person and say, hey, there's a leak here.
[49:57] You know, you got to come out.
[49:59] If it's in a book, I'm saying it's easier,
[50:01] but what it's in a book, is just stick around it.
[50:04] And they're like, well, there wasn't truck in the driveway, so they told us a color, we went off a color.
[50:12] Well, you get an answer in service at midnight.
[50:14] And they're like, I can't tell you if we were out there today or not.
[50:17] You know, because there was a truck in the yard where they got there.
[50:20] Yeah.
[50:22] So, all the stuff to work on.
[50:26] Did you see the note that I sent you that, and there may not have been any double runs from
[50:34] insurance-building perspective since I sent you guys in email I think it was she told me
[50:40] since May or April or May that they hadn't had any runs reported.
[50:46] Who would have this had one Sunday?
[50:51] Self-sense.
[50:52] I don't know.
[50:53] I don't know.
[50:54] I don't know.
[50:54] She's thinking I'll get that and see if we're missing out on anything.
[50:57] But it may have been quiet, which would be great.
[50:59] like, I mean, and it's a bad word,
[51:04] but you know what I, I just kind of just regarded
[51:07] or even though maybe we didn't have any available runs that were, you know, I'm sure
[51:12] we have runs, but they may not have fallen within the ordinance for available, or so, but
[51:18] it's something that you just may want to check on to make sure we're not leaving anybody out
[51:22] on the table, since that gives us the ability to get other parts of pieces and consumables
[51:29] You know, these will call it.
[51:33] Do you know what it has not really built?
[51:35] True.
[51:37] Yeah, there's nobody built like that.
[51:39] It's not a little bit of a kind of mountain at all.
[51:43] Walk in for a couple of people out.
[51:48] Tell them, do you, I think you did that one, didn't you?
[51:51] I don't think I ever put that one in.
[51:54] Now we didn't do the ones for live road, because there's a mutual air.
[51:57] That's how it works.
[51:59] That gets, that gets sticky.
[52:02] We have put mutual aid calls in before where you responded and we used a lot of consumable.
[52:09] That's right.
[52:10] We did that from the outside.
[52:12] It's like an end to help and carry somebody like it's hard.
[52:15] That's very difficult.
[52:17] Yeah.
[52:17] They'll build their insurance company.
[52:20] Yeah.
[52:22] So just take a look and, you know, it maybe there wasn't anything you could do for.
[52:30] All right,
[52:51] thank you very much, brings this on to highway department.
[53:02] First, Cooper will need a file for operating the smaller truck. I have files, but I don't have access to price and connect yet.
[53:13] I just haven't had that weird loop issue, and I haven't had that before, so I have to go and look.
[53:19] Can you text me tomorrow to remind me, like during daytime hours, and I'll look at that.
[53:27] And then we can even just do a team
[53:29] so that I can show you other programs.
[53:31] All right, together.
[53:32] All right, so last week,
[53:34] I'm very, we're doing some grading on River Road
[53:38] and then hauling material out from the work at River Road.
[53:43] They were mowing road sides
[53:45] and doing a pretty big, great repair on the larger truck.
[53:51] So that's which in place last week,
[53:53] this week, White Creek is hauling sand for Arlington, while Mark is helping them with some
[53:59] culverts. So we have some municipality exchanging of services happening. There's also going to
[54:06] be creating a taking place on River Road and people hill this this week and being next week.
[54:13] And then they're going to play it by ear with like the last round of Ditching and Mowing for the end of
[54:23] longer, but if it continues to rain and cool down, that might not go on for so long, and
[54:29] they are also getting the garage cleaned up and organized to check for all the PNs on
[54:36] thousand sanders, that will probably take place like after the 25th, so I feel last week
[54:42] of September, they're going to be getting the garage ready for P&A winter stuff.
[54:50] And, yeah, I didn't have any major purchases or, you know, anything major going on, other than the breaker care.
[55:00] So, I didn't have any highway.
[55:03] Do you want to just roll it right into a right park?
[55:05] Yes.
[55:07] One thing of note, the golf course is going to be closed on September 29th or a track event.
[55:12] This track event happened. I believe last year and it's going to be from morning until like later after news
[55:18] So we're going to close the golf course that whole day. It's a Tuesday
[55:22] So we may not see a lot of people playing anyway
[55:25] So the golf course will be closed that day
[55:28] The green's mower is back. So he's been spending a lot to the golf course
[55:34] He is also preparing his garage spaces for winter work
[55:39] You know, he ending the mowers and getting those close up to the winner, but also I have some
[55:44] Sandy and painting projects for him on my benches and tables of the record, any space to
[55:49] do that.
[55:50] So he's getting a garage ready for that.
[55:53] He also was brush-hanging along the walking pack and perimeter of the park and golf course.
[56:00] And we're trying to figure out the best blocking system for the new van for doors.
[56:04] They swing out now, which is great.
[56:06] But we're having a really hard time finding commercial locks where it's flat on the inside and a key on the outside of the lock
[56:13] It's a few have to go through a locksmith. Yeah, easy to pull out of. Well, and I was looking at pricing and like we're not gonna
[56:20] When I can do locking them 20 friars in the summer anyway
[56:23] So once we lock them for the season, they're gonna stay locked
[56:26] So we're thinking like we want to just like put you know a pretty hefty bar with like a padlock since once we lock them
[56:33] And I'm not going to unlock them until,
[56:36] it's just, I'm not going to let you go.
[56:38] If you use, but I just thought for cost,
[56:40] and you already spent a lot in the doors,
[56:42] but this commercial, those, like,
[56:44] can really nice commercial locks are, like,
[56:46] I think it's, I think it's worth calling locks.
[56:49] I think we spent the money on the doors,
[56:51] that's not screwing up with a cheap lock.
[56:54] And you're going to use items for,
[56:56] you don't see a guy in that, except,
[56:59] you know, these are really good.
[57:00] I got his number coming.
[57:01] And he may be able to say,
[57:03] I don't know if he may have a key system for here that he can come and key those so that
[57:11] you're master key fits those and then like there's a separate one that just fits in.
[57:18] So I would talk to him about that.
[57:21] I don't know if the keys were that well bought out or not.
[57:27] I'll leave it at that.
[57:29] And it's good you answered my question because I was going to ask if we had kind of like
[57:34] Cooper working on a fall plan and so that we know what he's got on deck and what his goals
[57:40] are going to be as well.
[57:41] Yeah.
[57:42] And the ventures and tables are like the first things and I do, I have a whole list of other
[57:46] separate hands.
[57:47] Yeah.
[57:47] I just kind of worked with any person.
[57:49] And I said, speaking of benches, I had said, Glenn, a text message in the photo, I was
[58:00] out walking around the park, just checking things out, and there is a commercial picnic
[58:05] table that's like out of palette that is routed away. It was never assembled kind of over on
[58:12] the left hand side before you get to the mulch pile. Yeah. I think someone took that apart to fix
[58:19] another table.
[58:21] It looked like it was still strapped on the pallet.
[58:24] Maybe there's going somewhere.
[58:25] I know that's what I really told me,
[58:27] and he took apart some tables to repair another table.
[58:30] There were a couple who were back with the old playground.
[58:34] Yeah, I was...
[58:35] Anything.
[58:38] Something that were pretty...
[58:39] I swear it looked like...
[58:40] Let me see if I can find it.
[58:41] It looked like it was still strapped on the pallet.
[58:45] Unless somebody stole one part out of that, it just may be wonder or like, what are we missing
[58:52] in there?
[58:52] Can we get one part and have another picnic table to know what I mean?
[58:55] Yeah, there were more tables over there, but he might have repaired them.
[59:01] They were missing washers and bolts and stuff, and those parts that have been repaired.
[59:06] We just need space to sand them and repaint them and seal them.
[59:10] Yeah. This was like a, um,
[59:15] one of those commercial wire ones.
[59:22] Oh, the kind of like mesh.
[59:23] I don't know about that.
[59:25] Yeah, it's like commercial mesh.
[59:27] It looks like it's still strapped to the palate to me.
[59:34] And I don't know.
[59:38] So, as you walk,
[59:41] so have a look at it.
[59:43] As you walk.
[59:45] I don't know.
[59:45] It's like a commercial picnic.
[59:49] Yeah.
[59:50] joint for a state park, right? So, if you're walking towards where the mulch piles are, it's on the left hand side before you get to the two barrels, drop like old tracks.
[1:00:01] So we're just having to take a look at it. I'm just curious about it, like if we could use it, that would be great.
[1:00:10] And it's good. I'm glad we're getting a plan together in the fall so that we don't miss anything. I think that's important.
[1:00:19] Super. And the park looks great. I have been on a town for a couple of weeks and I came in yesterday.
[1:00:28] the same day like it looks, it looks really really good. So I appreciate Cooper's artwork on that.
[1:00:36] And are you working also the only other tip that I had for Cooper was just fall into winter plan?
[1:00:47] Yes. Yeah, for Cooper. Yeah. Yes.
[1:00:50] We're going to go to campus.
[1:00:51] Oh, I will hold this for a minute.
[1:00:55] All right.
[1:00:56] That brings us to item 11, which is Katie's
[1:00:59] Time Minister, your update.
[1:01:01] Yes.
[1:01:02] So before I get into the cleaning work quotes, I just want to, you know,
[1:01:06] that that MOU for a consent for the monitoring wells.
[1:01:10] I'm waiting on a map for Robert Smith to specifically
[1:01:13] state where the walls are going to go.
[1:01:15] And then I'm going to send it to Mr. Smith.
[1:01:17] Hope about the end of this week.
[1:01:18] So I'm going to keep you guys updated.
[1:01:19] and that is moving along.
[1:01:23] I also had a question from the school about our winter
[1:01:27] plowing arrangement.
[1:01:29] I didn't know if I found a contract.
[1:01:32] I think I really thought that would happen.
[1:01:34] And I don't know if they signed it, or if we signed it,
[1:01:37] or if we signed it, or if we signed it, or if we signed it,
[1:01:38] or if we signed it, or if we signed it, or if we signed it,
[1:01:41] are we going to be engaging in the next year,
[1:01:43] or if we want to wait until the next year?
[1:01:44] I think that's up for discussion.
[1:01:46] But I don't know if we have the manpower to do that, really.
[1:01:53] I mean,
[1:01:59] we can revisit that at the next meeting when we're all here, but I feel
[1:02:05] like we might not have the manpower to do that this year.
[1:02:09] Just when I'm thinking about what your building
[1:02:12] you can follow to winter and play it and you've got stuff on that list and I have some other
[1:02:16] ideas in my head. I just, I don't know if we have a manpower.
[1:02:20] Yeah, we have four sidewalls to show it.
[1:02:21] Yeah, we have a lot of one sidewall. This winter, which is on my list. And that by the way, the
[1:02:28] sidewall is looking really good and it's moving right along. So I'm excited that you know,
[1:02:35] into fall that. When is that schedule to be completed? October 8th.
[1:02:39] Yeah, so it'll still get, it'll get a lot of use to this year.
[1:02:43] Oh, it was stuff like that.
[1:02:44] I've coordinated with their online today and that their tavern is going to stay open until 11 on the nights when we're doing by spirit of the comments.
[1:02:52] Oh, so that'll be perfect timing so if you're actually able to walk on the sidewalk.
[1:02:55] Yeah, I have on the comments that you're online today and for post-show drinks.
[1:02:59] That'll be great.
[1:02:59] I think it's getting a lot of use in, in two before the so-fly.
[1:03:04] I mean, I see kids walking and walking.
[1:03:09] It's a part of the road like in December to go to the right park, you know, if we don't have any snow and they want to go play ball or something and yeah, so that's going to be great.
[1:03:20] Yeah.
[1:03:22] All right, and then lastly.
[1:03:24] Oh, I mean, we should have that wrapped up by the end of this week for Jeff Jobs and then the last piece is just installation.
[1:03:36] So I was coming along in the last piece is painting services quotes.
[1:03:42] This came up because the part of the department was looking to get there, building service.
[1:03:48] So we reached out to serve Pro that we've actually been using since 2017 and they haven't
[1:03:53] increased their rate since then, which is pretty amazing.
[1:03:58] So I got some, I got a quote from them, I got a quote from another local professional
[1:04:05] We don't have to move forward with any of these, but I just know that at times the board
[1:04:09] is talked about maybe moving away from our current arrangement and explain other arrangements.
[1:04:14] What we need to get the firehouse queen?
[1:04:21] So, surf pro, which is the disaster response I've been in, is surf pro franchise.
[1:04:28] And then I went from Jay and Jay.
[1:04:30] Those are the two quotes I have now. I had a lead on a third quote, but she hasn't sent me anything yet
[1:04:38] And she said it was going to be around around six hundred twenty dollars, but she was wanting to as I could go up in the future
[1:04:45] And I just told her, I was like send me a sample invoice and you contract. I'll look at it and she hasn't sent me anything yet. So I'm not going to
[1:04:53] Would you know what to serve for a charge for travel now?
[1:04:56] Oh, there it is.
[1:04:58] Yes.
[1:04:59] And they do not really very good job in what I think.
[1:05:02] I walked into the front four-year-old year.
[1:05:06] We could go cobwebs, cobwebs, cobwebs, dirt, and leaves all over the floor.
[1:05:13] We just need to be able to open the door and it blows in.
[1:05:17] And soon we have to ask.
[1:05:18] We should have back stairs.
[1:05:20] Especially when it specifically says that they clean cobwebs.
[1:05:27] I was someone who mentioned it, so I walked in and checked it and that's when I talked to Katie.
[1:05:34] I said, we gotta do something here. This is ridiculous.
[1:05:40] I mean, that's the front entrance to town hall, right? And it looks horrible.
[1:05:48] But in this, these prices are, oh, this time you're going to chuck up a lot of those
[1:05:52] considerations.
[1:05:56] How do you understand that?
[1:05:58] So I'm the firehouse one, Katie and myself were having this discussion before the meeting.
[1:06:06] We had it where everyone was getting cleaned every week from the prior person and, you
[1:06:12] know, we were a pain a lot for it.
[1:06:14] My fear on is if we needed to, that could go to every other week, and it could be the first and third week, because we're in there the second and fourth is when we use the upstairs.
[1:06:29] So just an idea if we have to save some money, when KBS we just came up with every week because that's what we were getting.
[1:06:36] You know, and I don't know what the price is. We have a list of the prices, but I mean, I just don't know what we're looking.
[1:06:43] It's way more than what we were paying before, so.
[1:06:45] I mean, you know, I'm fine.
[1:06:47] Well, this is how you have the budget that we put aside.
[1:06:50] So, you know, if it was cleaned on the first, that'd be ready for the second Tuesday,
[1:06:54] and if it was cleaned on the third week, that'd be ready for a point.
[1:06:58] I mean, it doesn't get a lot of use, so probably twice monthly, it's more than sufficient for the fire hall.
[1:07:05] Yeah, just to help you. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you guys can take out the trash on the
[1:07:12] five meters. I mean, yeah, that would be my only thought was like, okay, if nobody's there to
[1:07:19] remove the trash, and there's no way we would be like other visitors that we didn't have security clearance.
[1:07:35] wonder if that would change any of their pricing if they were only doing it twice a month, Katie.
[1:07:41] for either company?
[1:07:44] Yes.
[1:07:44] Oh, yeah.
[1:07:45] I think it would definitely change it for both.
[1:07:47] But would they charge you more?
[1:07:50] For two per million people?
[1:07:53] For two cleanings versus, you know, a lot of times like my landscape
[1:07:56] or my charge mean 65 to 100 every week.
[1:08:02] But if I haven't come every two weeks, it's actually
[1:08:05] 192 or something.
[1:08:07] Yeah.
[1:08:08] Yeah.
[1:08:08] And because I think it isn't even long.
[1:08:10] It's getting longer, something.
[1:08:15] I think we should ask that question before we move forward.
[1:08:18] I don't know what it is.
[1:08:19] I guess, OK, we have another two weeks.
[1:08:21] Yeah, you're about to explain.
[1:08:23] No, I mean, we can handle that.
[1:08:25] You know, I just want to throw them that out there.
[1:08:29] No, I appreciate that.
[1:08:30] And I think it's a really good consideration that if there isn't
[1:08:32] really much to clean.
[1:08:34] It's not worth it.
[1:08:35] I mean, there could be weeks that there's nobody even really
[1:08:39] in there.
[1:08:39] We don't have hardly any calls and there's nobody in there so on and so forth, but that's one of the ways.
[1:08:45] What following week is pouring rain in your track month through a whole place?
[1:08:50] So, it was a really great job, you know.
[1:08:54] Right.
[1:08:56] It seems to me that's where most people go, it's really going to be cleaner, which is the upstairs.
[1:09:00] The other house where we have host meetings or whatever.
[1:09:03] It goes down the stairs, like, by the way, in the upstairs.
[1:09:08] I think it's worth asking if we can do it every two weeks and just make sure that they're
[1:09:15] not going to raise the weekly price to do that.
[1:09:21] Obviously, you keep telling all that every week, this building needs it every week.
[1:09:26] But about that, that would double what we pay annually.
[1:09:32] And I think, I mean, we're in September, so if we want to increase that budget, why not, and we can next year, but it's going to double okay.
[1:09:45] Yes. Well, let's get the answer to that, figure it out, next month.
[1:09:51] And you said you may have one other person in the rest of the year.
[1:09:55] they do like eight post office, eight post offices in the area, and she said she was going to send me some of great things.
[1:10:01] So maybe we'll get a third.
[1:10:06] Maybe we were reaching out to that person as well.
[1:10:09] We told them that we could change the scope slightly.
[1:10:11] Yes, how was it?
[1:10:13] Super.
[1:10:15] What else do you have for your update anything else?
[1:10:18] That's all for me.
[1:10:20] All right.
[1:10:20] We do have a really quick executive session this evening
[1:10:25] for personnel as we on that.
[1:10:28] I think we can do words.
[1:10:32] I will hand these to Jamie.
[1:10:33] Did you want to do it?
[1:10:34] No, I didn't do it.
[1:10:37] There are.
[1:10:40] I adjourned.
[1:10:43] We adjourned the award.
[1:10:46] Okay.
[1:10:49] Make a motion to approve CHAP WARN WD19, there are a lot of water department in the amount of
[1:10:59] 12,494 dollars and 84 cents. Pumped house grant for suburban propane was the largest
[1:11:07] there, 57, 15, and auto pre-tengineering and the wastewater study, 4425.
[1:11:16] I'm going to have to do a new program.
[1:11:18] So moved.
[1:11:20] Motion by Jamie 2nd by Sebastian to approve water department of the warrant as presented.
[1:11:27] Any further discussion?
[1:11:29] Hearing none.
[1:11:30] All those in favor?
[1:11:31] Hi.
[1:11:33] Can we move this to some words, Jamie?
[1:11:35] Okay,

[1:12:46] All those in favor?
[1:12:48] Hi.
[1:12:50] I would say the ceiling is looking really good.
[1:12:52] Does look good.
[1:12:53] When we get the fire sensors.
[1:12:55] Yeah, they drop those in.
[1:12:57] It's going to look really good.
[1:12:58] But it looks way better than the old one.
[1:13:00] It doesn't.
[1:13:00] I don't feel like it's going to fall on me.
[1:13:02] Yes.
[1:13:02] to do the funny things, yeah, the funny things, right?
[1:13:06] Yeah, yeah, those lights turned out good.
[1:13:08] And these can be dialed down.
[1:13:10] Yeah, they are timable.
[1:13:11] Yeah, so if it's too hard, you can count.
[1:13:14] I'm having a time, but.
[1:13:16] I like the dark.
[1:13:18] That's just the same.
[1:13:21] I just want to revisit one thing.
[1:13:23] Do we have to do anything with that MOU?
[1:13:26] No, just keep you guys updated.
[1:13:28] Oh, perfect.
[1:13:28] And then 12 wells.
[1:13:30] And then the map, I'm going to send it to Mr. Smith.
[1:13:32] and just keep your hands dirty.
[1:13:34] Yeah, I mean, everything, Joe, did a great job.
[1:13:36] I was going to be up with that.
[1:13:38] Super.
[1:13:39] All right.
[1:13:40] We have a quick executive session for personnel
[1:13:43] to take more than a minute or so.
[1:13:47] And Janet, we can give you time when we adjourn.

[1:14:11] was person or something.
[1:14:12] That I premature discussion of a personnel issue
[1:14:14] would cause the municipality to suffer substantial advantage to
[1:14:24] establish the reason of the executive
[1:14:25] session as personnel, all those in favor.
[1:14:30] Aye.
[1:14:30] I'll leave a motion to enter into executive session for discussion of said personnel issue
[1:14:35] and to allow Katie I assume.
