is that a reasonable place to be i mean 772 00:33:33,679 --> 00:33:36,720 somewhere this is being debated 773 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,480 and a hundred thousand seems like a 774 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,799 reasonable amount to to a sign like this personally this 775 00:33:42,799 --> 00:33:43,919 year i wouldn't go any higher than a 776 00:33:43,919 --> 00:33:46,080 hundred thousand 777 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,760 because we don't know what's going to be 778 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,480 happening more than normal would recover 779 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,200 and but then again our revenues we've 780 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,039 been doing very well on our revenues 781 00:33:55,039 --> 00:33:58,159 so what was our fun balance last year 782 00:33:58,159 --> 00:34:00,960 right right around the same it wasn't i 783 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,480 thought it was a million eight something 784 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,840 i think you might be right what was the 785 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,559 balance last year 786 00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:10,710 yeah i don't remember two million but um 787 00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:13,040 amy is that something you can garner no 788 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,240 i i don't have it with me 789 00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:16,800 i'm sorry thank you wait what what was 790 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,040 the year over here in christina 791 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,079 say the question again the 792 00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:34,560 year-over-year increase in revenue 793 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:35,919 the only thing that comes to my mind 794 00:34:35,919 --> 00:34:38,399 right now is is excise tax 795 00:34:38,399 --> 00:34:39,760 we thought with the covenant we'd be 796 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,159 hurt in an excise tax and we're actually 797 00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:46,320 above what we projected for last year we predicted 500 000 and we've 798 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,240 already got six 799 00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:49,760 people have nothing else to do but pay 800 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,520 their exit is that sure 801 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:52,720 well the thing is they're buying new 802 00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:54,480 cars with zero percent interest in 90 803 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,589 days don't pay me 804 00:34:57,599 --> 00:34:59,040 that being said there are also many 805 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,200 revenues that are less than what we 806 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,000 expect i think 807 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,560 like from the state um their low 808 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,240 resistance program we did not receive as 809 00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:07,680 much as expected 810 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,760 our revenues are pretty much spot on to 811 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,200 what we thought they were going to be 812 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,359 this last year i guess i had the 813 00:35:13,359 --> 00:35:15,359 experience subjectively you see 814 00:35:15,359 --> 00:35:17,200 huge homes being built in town and you 815 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,560 would expect that the property tax 816 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:19,200 revenue is 817 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,599 increasing but i don't actually know if 818 00:35:21,599 --> 00:35:24,790 that's true or not 819 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,920 that doesn't necessarily increase the 820 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,920 revenue to the town per se it just 821 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,400 so that you take the entire property 822 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,160 value and you divide it 823 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,520 by what we decide we need so it doesn't 824 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,920 and if we if we calculate that correctly 825 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,040 then we take in 826 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,119 just the money that we need it might 827 00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:47,200 mean that your property taxes 828 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,800 could theoretically go down if we 829 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,720 re-evaluate if we revalue all the 830 00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:52,000 properties 831 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,640 but it doesn't necessarily mean that 832 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,160 because the assessors are still going to 833 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:56,880 go through 834 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,280 and adjust the mill rate yes for 835 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:00,240 everybody 836 00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:01,599 but if someone takes a hundred thousand 837 00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:03,440 dollar lot and builds a million dollar 838 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:04,480 home on it 839 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,320 there's addition there's added value 840 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:07,599 which is then 841 00:36:07,599 --> 00:36:10,560 taxed correct right but in in the 842 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,160 meantime that the assessors would then 843 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,040 probably say that we everyone needs to 844 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,359 pay a smaller percentage of tax because 845 00:36:17,359 --> 00:36:18,020 to meet the goal 846 00:36:18,020 --> 00:36:21,920 [Music] 847 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,520 but i i won't promise that will happen 848 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,520 that's just theoretically what should 849 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,119 if if if the property value 850 00:36:29,119 --> 00:36:32,400 grows then the tax mill rate should 851 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,000 increase 852 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,720 but it doesn't as long as the budget 853 00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:39,750 doesn't fill up 854 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,160 so we're growing in proportion to our 855 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:42,960 expenses 856 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,440 right right because the contractors were 857 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,880 building those million dollar homes are 858 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,240 dumping all the construction waste from 859 00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:50,079 the uh 860 00:36:50,079 --> 00:36:54,800 transportation if we pass the budget 861 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,480 as presented here is it up or down from 862 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,160 last year 863 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,550 the budget itself is down 864 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,560 so the question on the floor is the 865 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,320 amount of the undesignated fund balance 866 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:09,359 to be attributed to 867 00:37:09,359 --> 00:37:12,160 pay down taxes this year the recommended 868 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,760 amount is a hundred thousand dollars is 869 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,310 that further discussion 870

appropriate 880 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,880 capital improvements in fiscal year 21. 881 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,480 the selectmen and budget committee 882 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,400 recommend

expenditures 886 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,200 as compared to last year discussion on 887 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:08,590 capital expenditures article 32. 888 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,310 [Music] 889 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,920 the question was did we pace chapman 890 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,520 street last year we did but it has to 891 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,359 set a year and then you paid 892 00:38:17,359 --> 00:38:20,390 do the top coat 893 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,160 i have a question about the water 894 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,109 district building 895 00:38:25,119 --> 00:38:27,680 the 10 000 just like what you're 896 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,119 expecting someone to bid 897 00:38:29,119 --> 00:38:33,359 to do that i mean yeah that 898 00:38:33,359 --> 00:38:36,160 demolition demolition oh yeah that's 899 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,920 demolition that was the estimate i got 900 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,960 from some contractors to go dump it in 901 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,280 our dump for free 902 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,000 i wonder if they have to take it yet 903 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:46,880 yeah 904 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,560 we pay them too it seems like we'll take 905 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,960 care of us though uh he said that was 906 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,079 he said it wouldn't be any more than 907 00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:57,270 that that's good but that was yeah 908 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,800 there's a question in the back yeah 909 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,160 could you tell me what the cardiac 910 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,320 monster is please i'm sorry i can't hear 911 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,079 you can you tell me what the cardiac 912 00:39:06,079 --> 00:39:09,119 monitor is cardiac motor 913 00:39:09,119 --> 00:39:12,400 so the cardiac monitor is actually for 914 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,440 a reserve and it really is to try to 915 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,240 gain money 916 00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:18,480 for future cardiac monitors and 917 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,680 ambulances 918 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,839 instead of it all coming out in one year 919 00:39:21,839 --> 00:39:23,119 we thought it'd be better to try to 920 00:39:23,119 --> 00:39:24,160 spread and 921 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,920 you know basically accumulate some funds 922 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:34,950 for that 923 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,440 kind of a question to you lord and maybe 924 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,280 also to the to the project me and i'm 925 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,040 assuming that this has been 926 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,680 debated but i can't tell from this 927 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:44,640 whether we're going 928 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,400 up or whether we're flat or whether 929 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,079 we're going down in terms of way 930 00:39:48,079 --> 00:39:50,160 of the way we are maintaining our 931 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,480 infrastructure around town 932 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,440 particularly paving bridges those kind 933 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:56,320 of 934 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,240 can you give me some kind of read on 935 00:39:58,240 --> 00:39:59,760 that 936 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,200 i can't because i haven't been doing 937 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,400 this long enough to give you too much 938 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,800 information but yeah scott can you 939 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,440 answer the part of that on the favorite 940 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:08,079 part 941 00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:09,680 we typically try to plan somewhere in 942 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:10,640 the neighborhood of four hundred 943 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,240 thousand dollars with the road mark each 944 00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:13,040 year 945 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,839 we've been consistently kind of close to 946 00:40:15,839 --> 00:40:18,069 that 947 00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:19,839 yeah my question my question is really a 948 00:40:19,839 --> 00:40:21,920 sort of subjective look at 949 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,400 are we doing okay with this are we not 950 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,200 doing okay at maintaining the place 951 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,079 what's the sense i see from what i've 952 00:40:30,079 --> 00:40:30,400 seen 953 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,160 i think they're doing a good job at 954 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,870 maintaining 955 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,880 so then we're allocating enough money on 956 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,000 an annual basis 957 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,319 and we're keeping it okay question does 958 00:40:40,319 --> 00:40:42,960 that reflect your view 959 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,260 yes 960 00:40:44,260 --> 00:40:50,870 [Music] 961 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,040 i think we're making a difference that's 962 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,440 my opinion 963 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,640 thank you what are the 964 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,079 numbers behind the paving 965 00:41:02,079 --> 00:41:17,589 items numbers 966 00:41:17,599 --> 00:41:19,680 other questions on capital expenditures 967 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:20,640 yes 968 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,920 where does the choice of roads that are 969 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,910 being paved come from 970 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,520 we have a road program that we develop 971 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,040 some sort of a plan 972 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,839 um we're nearing the end of that plan 973 00:41:35,839 --> 00:41:36,400 it's 974 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,400 spelled out a five-year capital plan 975 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:39,520 right now 976 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,359 um we've tried to 977 00:41:43,359 --> 00:41:45,760 gain another committee like a road 978 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,000 committee to re-survey the roads and 979 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,599 the state state provided us with a 980 00:41:49,599 --> 00:41:51,760 program you may put the information and 981 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:52,880 spits out 982 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,640 this is where you should start first so 983 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:55,920 we can let you know 984 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,040 so we've been trying to work through 985 00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,359 that program so okay because 986 00:41:59,359 --> 00:42:01,839 the west end of grover hill has been 987 00:42:01,839 --> 00:42:02,560 unpaid 988 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,839 for many many many years ah yeah it's 989 00:42:05,839 --> 00:42:07,520 probably three four years now

seem 993 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,400 that many cars compared to in a railroad 994 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,359 it isn't a total justification but 995 00:42:19,359 --> 00:42:23,440 um road priority road traffic move 996 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,760 all all things have factors and what 997 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:26,800 you've done first 998 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,400 we had to do javascript
