doing.
[13:46] » Uh also, uh Luke and I had a meeting
with Code Red. They had some sort of uh
[13:52] I don't know intrusion or something
where they had to make a fundamental
[13:55] changes to their program. They have a
new website now. So, we were both
[13:59] brought up to speed on how to send out
code reds, which is different than it
[14:04] was.
>> But we are up and running. Luckily, we
[14:06] didn't have any serious uh weather
events during that interim, but we
[14:10] didn't. And we'll also get uh the chief
squared away and somebody in dispatch
[14:15] two with his approval, but I believe we
talked about that before.
[14:18] » So,
>> well, we did we sent one.
[14:20] [clears throat]
>> Yes,
[14:21] » one message did go out. Yeah,
>> there was an error that it actually sent
[14:25] due to the new default with my name on
it,
[14:28] » which is not part of our policy. So,
>> that was because that was fault. we were
[14:33] able to change that setting so that
doesn't happen ever again.
[14:36] » Mhm.
>> Um and then uh yeah, we'll get uh you
[14:41] guys up and running.
>> I don't know. I thought it was weird
[14:44] that it said your name and then
benevolent overlord.
[14:47] » No, no. I wanted it coming from
benevolent overlord and it added my
[14:51] name.
>> Oh, that makes
[14:51] » I just thought people would assume that
they knew who it was.
[14:54] » Okay. Yeah. All right. That makes sense.
That's all I have.
[14:57] » Never going. [laughter]
[15:01] I was going to say I'm looking forward
for things getting back to normal, but
[15:04] I'm going to [laughter] retract that
statement.
[15:08] » Staff reports. We'll start with how
about
[15:11] » Rod
[15:17] Liz assigned to CBA.
>> You want to come up? I forgot business
[15:23] too from the audience. Does anybody have
anything they want to say? Okay. Well,
[15:28] » same thing.
>> Any event, so Liz is going to be the
[15:31] recording secretary
>> uh
[15:34] » for the CBA meeting.
>> Yes.
[15:38] » And is she going to be the
>> Yes.
[15:41] » building department representative also.
So, she's going to wear two hats.
[15:45] » Yes.
>> At that meeting?
[15:47] » Okay. Understand. Thank you.
>> You're welcome.
[15:51] guys, something to to think about maybe
is that, you know, with the new system
[15:56] and how we're able to record our
meetings. Um, it's very very easy to do.
[16:01] So, uh, we could show Liz or really
anybody on the ZBA, but if you're
[16:06] interested in having those recordings to
be able to refer to later, um, it's just
[16:10] a push of a button now with the new
system, well, newish system, it's been
[16:13] there for a while. Um, so you just go
back there, turn it on, and then the
[16:17] camera comes from there, just like with
the board meeting. So, if that is
[16:20] something the ZBA is interested in
doing, it's a possibility
[16:23] » Zoom meeting.
>> Wouldn't be a Zoom meeting. It would
[16:25] just be a a video recording of the ZBA
that you would then have
[16:30] » access
>> access to. Yeah.
[16:32] » We could
>> we could either have it be it could be
[16:37] public
>> or it could be closed and then foilable
[16:41] because all things are, you know, open.
>> That's up to you. But it is easy to do
[16:46] that recording so that you know you
you've got that and can back go back and
[16:50] refer.
>> Okay.
[16:53] » We'll talk about it. [clears throat]
>> Yeah. Thank you.
[16:58] » Thank you, Rod. Paul,
>> no. This is today that we talked through
[17:03] a little bit. Get some questions. I hope
I answer your answers. So, we'll see.
[17:08] » And you guys don't have anything in
January, right?
[17:10] » Right. We have a meeting right now. I
think there's two cases possibly. for
[17:15] for February.
>> Yeah.
[17:19] » Thank you, Paul. Chris,
>> nothing to report.
[17:22] » Mitch, some vacation time.
[laughter]
[17:28] » Chief, so we're in the quiet time of
year as far as special events go. So,
[17:35] nothing to report in that department. Um
I am happy to announce uh just after
[17:42] Christmas uh legislator Ligo uh gave me
a call and surprised me surprised us
[17:47] with some additional funding that she
had already offered earlier in the fall.
[17:52] So it's it's up to about 20,000 and
that's going to go towards updating our
[17:56] dispatch center. As you're all aware,
our dispatch center does EMS for six
[18:00] towns and uh police for the town and
village and uh there's definitely some
[18:05] upgrades there that need to be done.
Some computer stuff and some furniture
[18:10] and just all around upgrades. So, that's
where that uh is headed and uh that's
[18:15] all I have.
Okay,
[18:18] » Dave.
>> Uh nothing nothing tonight.
[18:22] » Okay.
[18:25] And um we will be holding an executive
session. So I I will make a motion to
[18:31] enter in to into executive session to
discuss a litigation matter. No action
[18:36] will be taken. Uh and about five minutes
or so to give everybody time to get out
[18:41] of here.
>> So move
[18:43] second and head off to vacation.
>> Yeah, it's got five minutes.
[18:48] » We got a we got a we got a vote on that.
>> Oh, can I have a motion?
[18:52] » No, we had the motion.
>> So moved. Second by Joe and then
