Motion carries. Mike, just to 82 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,800 answer your question there, since it 83 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,840 kind of got lumped in, I should have 84 00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:17,280 done it discussion, but um in the case 85 00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:19,680 of Bark, yes. uh because we're provided 86 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,639 a list of different uh aspects of what 87 00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:23,919 they're going to do.

Uh 89 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:29,360 we rely on our liaison for uh Boston 90 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,120 area seniors to make sure that they're 91 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,160 maintaining you know actively and with 92 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,720 respect to uh National Bing Museum 93 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,720 because of the sum we assume that 94 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,080 they're putting it to good use and Ellie 95 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:45,039 usually gives us a report. So it it's a not a hard and fast scenario, but 96 00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:46,639 it's just to protect the village in case 97 00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:48,080 something really does go wrong and the 98 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,560 money gets redirected against what we 99 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,039 would have normally given it for.

So for all the, you 176 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,640 know, not so prettiness of the monipole, 177 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,560 the water tower looks a lot better right 178 00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:42,240 now with only Verizon's equipment still 179 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,240 on.

So sometime 183 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,279 next week, uh all three carriers should 184 00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:55,760 be fully operational from the Monipole 185 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,480 uh in that position. uh was spoke 186 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,440 speaking with uh 187 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,399 Senator Tisco's office and uh we are 188 00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:07,120 working to see if we cannot get a 189 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,920 another uh chance at $100,000 or 190 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,160 thereabouts with respect to the pool and 191 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,360 the pool reconditioning that's 192 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,279 necessary. As you know, we have stored 193 00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:18,320 away about $50,000 uh related to trying 194 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,200 to get the pool surface uh rejuvenated 195 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,000 uh because it is in need of that. And uh 196 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,760 we did have a price of in the $137,000 197 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,320 range I believe for that. Uh currently 198 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,800 it's uh next year probably hits the 150 199 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,440 mark thereabouts. And so uh that would 200 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,680 be probably just perfect if we uh were 201 00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:39,600 able to secure that because I understand 202 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,360 the Senate uh minority was able to get 203 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,079 some uh funding released or the access 204 00:10:46,079 --> 00:10:48,640 to some of it. So uh we we will continue 205 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,040 to work with Senator Toiscoco.

One other thing I'm 452 00:20:50,559 --> 00:20:52,559 going to be sending uh the board uh some 453 00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:55,120 info um was uh talking to Scott Berling 454 00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:58,159 game on this uh with respect to uh the 455 00:20:58,159 --> 00:21:01,760 idea of adaptive reuse and uh filling 456 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,559 some holes in the code with respect to 457 00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:07,840 uh buildings that might 458 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,559 that we might want to keep, you know, in 459 00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:12,400 place in some form or another, at least 460 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,520 most of the building. and uh allowing 461 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,679 uses that might not otherwise fit the 462 00:21:17,679 --> 00:21:19,600 code but would be still conducive in the 463 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,120 neighborhoods or locations that they're 464 00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:24,240 located. Uh thinking the South Street 465 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,799 School area perhaps the Lakewood Manor 466 00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:28,880 say existing shell if that were to be uh 467 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,760 reused and others uh out there as well. 468 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,080 Uh you know not every building qualifies 469 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,440 for this. We're talking like in 470 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,080 institutional type uses, uh, school type 471 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,960 uses, churches, stuff like that that 472 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,280 might be able to still stand with the 473 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,880 different use inside if they were ever 474 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,039 abandoned for the intended use, but the 475 00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:51,520 desire to keep those buildings in place, 476 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,400 but not hinder what could happen 477 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,200 necessarily inside them if it's again 478 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,559 conducive. And it's a lot of words that 479 00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:02,320 have to be placed in it to build the 480 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,000 guard rails and guide rails in it. So 481 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,919 that's why I wanted to send to the board 482 00:22:05,919 --> 00:22:08,480 before I ever sent it to Chris to say, 483 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,679 you know, this is something we should 484 00:22:09,679 --> 00:22:12,080 do. So look forward to that. Uh 485 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,280 basically, go ahead. 486 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,640 >> To the code or 487 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,240 >> inside folding into the code. Uh this is 488 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,480 some seeming to be an omission really 489 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,840 from us because we do see buildings that 490 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,760 have that character that might not 491 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,799 otherwise fit and they don't fit into 492 00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:30,559 pre-existing non-conforming mentality 493 00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:34,000 necessarily either. So, uh, Scott was 494 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,360 pretty clear that this was something 495 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:37,120 that he thinks that would give us an 496 00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:39,760 opportunity to protect a lot of, uh, 497 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,760 structures that would want to be 498 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,520 protected or we want would want to be 499 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,679 protected down the line. So, uh, I 500 00:22:45,679 --> 00:22:47,919 thought it was a good, uh, use of some 501 00:22:47,919 --> 00:22:50,320 time to go through that and like I said, 502 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,159 uh, leave in your hands ultimately to 503 00:22:52,159 --> 00:22:54,000 look at and see what you think about it. 504 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,640 Will that how long will that process 505 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:57,919 >> in terms of getting 506 00:22:57,919 --> 00:22:59,440 >> it into the draft? And 507 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,679 >> uh I don't think very long because if 508 00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:03,520 you like what's written, we can just 509 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,600 hand it right over to them.

It's it's a like 513 00:23:13,679 --> 00:23:14,960 I said, it's a lot of words for the 514 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,039 guardrail. Say you need to apply into 515 00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:18,080 something like that because again, you 516 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,919 don't want it to be a runaway train. And 517 00:23:19,919 --> 00:23:21,440 that's the whole idea here. There's a 518 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:22,880 limited number of properties probably 519 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,039 would apply to in the village, but 520 00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:27,280 enough to matter I think in this respect 521 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,039 and it's not spot zoning because there 522 00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:32,240 are enough to matter in that respect. 523 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,480 >> So be prepared for that.
