[0:39] rolling right ahead and start with Town

[0:41] manager announcements Julia what do you

[0:43] have for us tonight okay uh the first

[0:45] announcement I have is just a reminder

[0:47] that we are closed during lunch time

[0:50] from 12 30 to 1 30 still we still have a

[0:53] vacancy for the administrative

[0:56] um

[0:57] uh town for the front Clerk's position

[1:01] um and that's up on our website and

[1:03] um You can call the town office and ask

[1:05] any questions we also have applications

[1:07] on the website or in person

[1:09] we have forms as I mentioned at the last

[1:12] meeting

[1:14] um frequently used forums out in the

[1:16] middle of the lobby even when the office

[1:18] is closed the door is unlocked so that

[1:20] people can continue to use the restroom

[1:22] as well

[1:24] um just to let you know that July 15th

[1:27] the RFQ will

[1:29] um be coming down for the leg

[1:31] streetlight conversion and I've had

[1:33] several vendors that have reached out

[1:36] and they're um anxiously awaiting us to

[1:40] do it I did put in the uh RFQ that we

[1:44] would set up some times for interviews

[1:47] with the board

[1:48] um sometime at the beginning of August

[1:50] so it looks probably right now that

[1:52] there's been four companies interested

[1:54] in it so I was thinking that

[1:57] um if we kept each one of them to a

[1:59] minimum and they bring a demonstration

[2:00] we will be having in-person meetings at

[2:02] that point that um each one of you could

[2:05] see the equipment and

[2:07] here um

[2:09] you know what they have to offer we also

[2:12] will be getting a spreadsheet showing

[2:14] the comparisons and the savings between

[2:16] each organization so many things go into

[2:19] that RFQ package that we put out so I

[2:22] will set those up I also um did put out

[2:25] a doodle Poll for the wayfinding

[2:27] workshop

[2:28] have chosen one date except I was kind

[2:31] of holding off for a few minutes

[2:33] thinking that Ken was gonna comply and

[2:36] say okay fine I'll come that Tuesday but

[2:39] um I guess the schedules haven't changed

[2:42] so I will probably be choosing on the

[2:44] date when at least four of the board

[2:46] members can be there unfortunately I

[2:48] didn't want to date when everybody could

[2:49] be but

[2:51] what date was that Julia That Tune uh it

[2:54] was Tuesday the

[2:59] uh I will have to look because I don't

[3:02] have doodle pull up here but I can send

[3:03] you an email to see if you'll reconsider

[3:06] okay well being retired my schedule is

[3:09] you know pretty uh intense

[3:15] the rest of the board shows and see if

[3:17] you

[3:17] see if interested in reconsidering for

[3:19] that date because we I would like to

[3:21] have all of you present for them

[3:23] uh the other announcement I have is that

[3:26] Municipal officials

[3:28] um vacancies are still being posted for

[3:31] one regular member and two alternate

[3:34] member vacant positions on the board of

[3:36] appeals

[3:37] one regular position and two alternate

[3:40] positions for the port committee and

[3:42] applications for the appointments uh are

[3:45] available at the town office or on our

[3:47] website and you can call the town office

[3:49] for additional information if needed

[3:53] so we'll run that ad for

[3:55] um another couple of weeks we haven't

[3:57] received any applications for those

[3:59] positions so we'll put it back out for

[4:01] two more weeks

[4:03] and

[4:05] um another announcement that I have is

[4:08] that the board will be resuming to

[4:10] in-person meetings on July 25th so this

[4:13] will be our for now unless things change

[4:23] the room on July 25th uh Kathleen Pierce

[4:26] does anyone have any questions about

[4:28] that

[4:28] about coming here on July 25th

[4:56] mentioned the last time we are getting

[4:58] ready we did close out the fiscal year

[5:00] end and a new new beginning for another

[5:03] fiscal year end happened on July 1st so

[5:06] Kathleen is now doing the pre-audit uh

[5:09] work to get ready for the in-person

[5:14] Brewer's office so

[5:17] she will be busy with that

[5:20] um my next

[5:22] announcement

[5:24] um I actually didn't have any more

[5:26] announcements so that's very good that

[5:28] concludes my announcements for this

[5:30] evening

[5:31] great thank you Julia oh I did have one more announcement that's

[5:35] why I put a little Tickler under it

[5:38] um

[5:39] yeah

[5:40] let's see what that little word means we

[5:42] do have

[5:43] um the school has scheduled a joint CSD

[5:47] school board meeting and trustee

[5:48] Workshop I have sent over to the board

[5:51] on the 27th a list of important updates

[5:55] and reminders from the um school from

[5:57] Evelyn Andrews and that is one of the

[6:00] meetings that have been scheduled for

[6:02] July 19th at 5 15. so um as as we move

[6:08] forward the mech the first meeting in

[6:10] August I would like to put before the uh

[6:13] selectman a vote to um

[6:16] formally vote on the amendments to the

[6:19] Charter like we did back in 2019 we do

[6:23] not have to

[6:25] um put it as a referendum vote so

[6:29] just the board had to vote in the

[6:31] minutes from each town uh got taken to

[6:34] the state for adoption so

[6:37] did anyone have any questions on that or

[6:40] anything

[6:41] further to add

[6:43] okay I'm not sure how many of you are

[6:46] going to be going to that I mean it's

[6:47] their

[6:48] it's in person and there's

[6:52] um they're discussing the potential

[6:53] Charter revisions at that meeting so I

[6:56] will be there I know Dan said he will be

[6:58] there so from there um

[7:01] we'll probably discuss it at the next

[7:03] the meeting after that of what the

[7:06] school had come up with and then put it

[7:08] on the next agenda for voting

[7:10] for the Amendments that both towns

[7:12] agreed upon

[7:15] right and and just as a reminder to the

[7:17] board

[7:19] um

[7:20] you know the charter is a document

[7:23] that belongs to the two towns and all

[7:25] the Selectmen so

[7:27] um we've asked the school board members

[7:31] and the trustees to

[7:34] um look at it and request any changes

[7:37] they want to make

[7:40] um

[7:41] and

[7:43] depending on what they come forward with

[7:45] if there are changes that we can

[7:46] incorporate right away we'll do that and

[7:49] if they're not they may be changes that

[7:53] take a lot more discussion we'll just

[7:55] continue to have more discussion but

[7:58] make the changes we want to make now

[8:01] and then continue to have further team

[8:03] discussions and possibly have additional

[8:07] amendments later on down the road next

[8:09] year or the year after

[8:11] thanks for mentioning that the goal was

[8:14] to while we're going through this

[8:15] process if there's low hanging fruit if

[8:18] there's something that's obvious uh hey

[8:20] let's take advantage of that certainly

[8:22] not trying to circumvent or

[8:23] short-circuit any type of the review

[8:25] process it's just while we're at it if

[8:28] there's something of value that could be

[8:30] easily done

[8:32] um so I appreciate you mentioning that

[8:35] and I did send over

[8:37] um a community meeting announcement that

[8:41] Evelyn sent today on 7 14 at 5 15 in the

[8:45] library we do have a um large size

[8:48] billboard out in the lobby explaining

[8:51] about these meetings the first one

[8:54] um

[8:55] seeking Community feedback at upcoming

[8:57] public meetings for the school will be

[8:59] July 14th as I mentioned 5 30 to 7 30 at

[9:02] the high school and their meeting number

[9:04] two

[9:06] um is still yet to be determined so I'll

[9:09] keep you posted on on that as well

[9:14] great other questions for Julia for uh

[9:17] Town manager announcements

[9:19] um I just had one

[9:21] um

[9:26] administrative

[9:27] part-time administrative assistant

[9:29] position uh in the lobby you still have

[9:31] the full-time position in public works

[10:06] okay thank you

[10:09] Julia we're into week two with our new

[10:13] town shared Town planner do you have any

[10:15] uh updates or any uh anything you'd like

[10:17] to share about uh

[10:19] Isabelle's uh

[10:21] welcome to uh yeah in the harbor I

[10:25] thought about um giving a little update

[10:27] about that tonight but um unfortunately

[10:30] last week was sort of crazy busy between

[10:32] Windjammers July 4th week and fiscal

[10:35] year end

[10:36] um Isabelle was set up here she was here

[10:39] for two days last week and two days in

[10:42] Damariscotta Monday being the holiday

[10:44] July 4th uh we spent the two days last

[10:48] week with just getting her acclimated

[10:50] um to her space giving her a code book

[10:52] going through

[10:54] um different ordinances that she was

[10:56] interested preparing

[10:58] um for this next Wednesday's like uh

[11:00] planning board meeting and

[11:03] um being part of that process so really

[11:06] the last only two days that she was here

[11:09] it was just all about getting acclimated

[11:11] to the facility to to what her job

[11:13] duties are going to consist of so I I

[11:16] don't have a lot to report at this time

[11:22] yeah and she enjoyed being here and

[11:26] um is looking forward to continuing on

[11:28] so she came back so I'm happy about that

[11:34] I did it's kind of funny because I

[11:36] forgot that our copier did two pages so

[11:39] I was thinking wow my announcements got

[11:40] very short but I did have the school

[11:42] Charter announcement and I had one other

[11:44] announcement to give you so I apologize

[11:47] um sometimes The copier does backsided

[11:49] and I don't realize it but I did um last

[11:52] week I did set down Wednesday and met

[11:56] with Rob du plessis our uh assessor to

[12:00] formulate and figure out a plan going

[12:02] forward for

[12:03] um the re-evaluation

[12:05] and I just

[12:08] um I wanted to sort of give a brief

[12:10] overview of how that's going they began

[12:12] their final phase of their um 2022

[12:15] project this past week we had um

[12:19] Rob himself and

[12:22] um his agent plus over the course of

[12:25] this summer they've been in and out and

[12:27] riding around town and going to

[12:28] different places through throughout town

[12:30] so they're at their final stages of that

[12:32] work

[12:33] um notice of proposed valuations will be

[12:37] sent to All Property Owners by the end

[12:39] of this week

[12:41] um these notices will include the new

[12:43] assessment as well as an estimated tax

[12:45] amount

[12:46] uh Rob and I said the other day and put

[12:49] plugged in the numbers from this year's

[12:51] budget a lot of times if those numbers

[12:53] aren't available yet they'll use last

[12:55] year's but it was good that we actually

[12:57] have been in receipt of both the school

[12:59] the county and and obviously our budget

[13:02] so we were actually able to put real

[13:04] numbers to it

[13:06] um and putting that together we're

[13:09] looking at a tentative mill rate

[13:11] estimated about 8.5 which is

[13:14] um a drastic decrease in the mill rate

[13:16] because we did gain in valuation

[13:19] Property Owners will be given an

[13:21] opportunity to discuss the proposed

[13:23] valuations with a representative rjg

[13:26] appraisal

[13:27] and what we're doing is we're reserving

[13:30] um the room in here from July 25th 26th

[13:33] 27th and 28th and this will all be

[13:36] outlined on everybody's notices that

[13:38] will be mailed out this Friday

[13:40] um and taxpayers can either meet with us

[13:42] meet not meet with us I'm not meeting

[13:44] with them but meet with the assessors

[13:46] there's going to be a whole team of them

[13:49] um they can meet

[13:50] we've decided to set up a zoom they can

[13:53] phone call or they can come in person to

[13:56] meet with them to discuss

[13:58] um their act what will actually look

[14:00] sort of like a real tax bill but it's a

[14:03] revaluation notice

[14:05] and um these meetings will be set up by

[14:08] appointment only and the notices will

[14:10] have all the information to set up that

[14:12] meeting

[14:13] this step is part of the revaluation

[14:16] contract

[14:17] um and is you know we're looking forward

[14:20] to anybody and everybody that can make

[14:22] it and if you can't we can you know come

[14:24] up with another way but this has been

[14:27] pretty successful over the last couple

[14:29] of years of him doing

[14:31] um reval appointments and if people are

[14:33] on vacation then they can phone in or or

[14:35] zoom in

[14:38] um after the time of um the appointments

[14:41] we are looking to

[14:43] commit around I think it was I forgot

[14:47] August 5th no later than August 5th and

[14:50] we did give an extension um on the

[14:52] warrant process this year so that people

[14:55] can at least have the 30 30 plus days

[14:57] almost 40 days to get their tax payments

[15:00] into us without being considered late

[15:03] after the time that those meetings and

[15:06] those hearings are done

[15:08] um the normal appeal process applies the

[15:11] taxpayer initiated abatement requests

[15:14] can be made and that period of time is

[15:16] 185 days after a commitment

[15:19] so um just to let you know there

[15:22] there'll be a lot of action going on

[15:23] here between the um 25th through the

[15:25] 28th and uh I've stressed to Rob and and

[15:29] Rob's crew and he understands that it's

[15:32] very important that

[15:35] um during when we contemplated doing a

[15:37] reval that

[15:39] um we reach out to the community and and

[15:41] make sure that everybody understands

[15:43] what they're getting prior to their

[15:44] actual physical tax bills so those

[15:47] notices are all being there all being

[15:48] nailed from a third party uh vendor that

[15:51] Rob has included as part of his reval

[15:54] um

[15:55] monies that he has built to us so

[15:58] did anyone have any questions about any

[16:00] of this

[16:02] uh yes I just wanna

[16:04] go over those dates or have you go over

[16:07] so look the letters are going to be

[16:09] mailed out this Friday

[16:11] by this Friday yep okay and then the

[16:15] days where there you can come in and see

[16:19] them in person is the the 25th sixth and

[16:23] seventh 25th 26th 27th and 28th okay

[16:28] mm-hmm

[16:30] and we Rob is actually

[16:34] set up an entire appointment calendar

[16:37] um I know back when I was here in 2003

[16:39] the phones were crazy busy

[16:42] um but he's he's well organized it with

[16:44] both Michelle and Trish and we'll all be

[16:46] helping out to make sure that

[16:48] um you know people get their calendars

[16:51] get their names on the calendars and

[16:53] their appointments either by Zoom phone

[16:55] or in person

[16:56] right

[16:57] so people should understand that

[17:03] just because they assessed value on the

[17:06] house is going up doesn't mean their

[17:08] taxes are going to go up because the

[17:10] actual mill rate is going down exactly

[17:13] so a whole chunk of people in town might

[17:16] actually their taxes might stay more or

[17:18] less the same stay the same or decrease

[17:21] some yep

[17:25] how are those uh in-person

[17:28] um opportunities to question uh

[17:31] scheduled will that be by calling the

[17:32] town hall yes and it will say it I mean

[17:36] they've already got us they've he

[17:37] provided this evening to me a sample

[17:39] notice

[17:41] um which states you know where how to

[17:43] call how to make an appointment and what

[17:45] dates are available and you call and we

[17:48] have an appointment book that

[17:51] um Rob gave both girls to be able to set

[17:54] up those appointments for time for times

[17:56] throughout the days

[17:58] foreign

[17:59] I think either four or five I think five

[18:02] people here to actually

[18:05] um be able to answer questions for each time each person that comes in so that people aren't waiting

[18:15] okay

[18:16] how much time is allocated for an

[18:18] appointment

[18:20] um I honestly would have to run out and

[18:22] look at the appointment book because

[18:24] that's I was we were crunching numbers

[18:26] and I wasn't paying attention when he

[18:28] was out there discussing the

[18:29] appointments so I I don't know if it was

[18:33] 15 minutes or an hour and a half I have

[18:35] no idea

[18:37] yes 15 minutes should be enough

[18:40] how long 20 minutes it's 20 minutes it

[18:43] was 20 minutes okay I forgot Michelle

[18:45] got my appointment calendar yes yeah but

[18:47] that makes sense that's that's enough

[18:49] time having been through it I can tell

[18:51] you it's enough

[18:54] five minutes

[18:56] probably will be a lot of people that

[18:58] won't even be coming in I mean there's

[19:01] gonna this is if people are questioning

[19:03] their new assessment

[19:05] um but there may be a lot of people

[19:07] since we now get to actually put that

[19:09] estimated 2022 tax on it

[19:12] um that may be

[19:13] absolutely thrilled and have no reason

[19:16] to walk through the door to to question

[19:18] what they're getting so I'm not I don't

[19:21] think all

[19:22] 2000 some odd taxpayers are going to be

[19:25] making appointments

[19:28] so I just wanted to inform you that that

[19:31] since we haven't really talked about the

[19:33] reveal that a lot of it has been

[19:35] happening behind the scenes we've had

[19:37] laptops set out in the other room where

[19:38] they've been motorman in from um Pitts

[19:42] Pittsfield and doing all the sketching

[19:45] in the new program and things have been

[19:48] a lot of things have been happening

[19:49] behind the scenes so

[19:54] the numbers even though our budget did

[19:56] go up I'm happy with you know the

[19:59] definite decrease in the mill rate of

[20:01] course

[20:02] and Julia just as a reminder we needed

[20:04] to do this because it had wanted been an

[20:07] extraordinarily long amount of time and

[20:09] two as I believe Robert said that there

[20:12] when you hit an 80 percent uh difference

[20:16] or something that uh if the state

[20:18] basically says that this is mandated and

[20:21] needs to get and we were barely at 70 so

[20:24] I mean it was definitely warranted okay

[20:30] great

[20:32] so I have

[20:34] sorry I mean since you're we're talking

[20:36] about taxes and tax assessments I if if people didn't see the main Sunday

[20:43] telegram yesterday

[20:47] um you should look at it because it

[20:48] talked about the the

[20:51] um tax stabilization law that will go

[20:54] into effect for senior citizens

[20:58] um

[21:00] that will help

[21:02] their taxes potentially if they meet

[21:05] eligibility requirements next year

[21:08] so

[21:10] and I had

[21:12] um quite a lengthy conversation with Rob

[21:15] and I know that on the manager's meeting

[21:17] there's been a minister meeting the

[21:20] managers list served there's been quite

[21:22] a lot of discussion with ld290

[21:25] um trying to figure out both how our

[21:27] financial software our our Trio is going

[21:30] to handle it for collections

[21:33] um but there's a lot of questions to

[21:35] actually to asking main Revenue Service

[21:38] as well so they're asking for Town

[21:40] managers to um get together to actually

[21:43] put these questions out to Maine Revenue

[21:46] Service about how how towns are actually

[21:48] going to handle this going forward

[21:51] um I guess there's going to be an

[21:52] updated notification on August 8th going

[21:56] out to all municipalities as well as

[21:58] forms so

[22:00] um I will keep you posted when I receive

[22:01] that

[22:03] yeah well the article also did say that

[22:07] funding for this law what hadn't really

[22:10] quite hadn't happened or not happened

[22:13] Beyond one year or so there's certainly

[22:15] a lot of questions about it but um but

[22:18] um I thought the article is pretty

[22:19] interesting and and it was particularly

[22:22] interesting to me that a republican from arusta County was the one who put

[22:26] forth the bill so anyway

[22:30] that was in yesterday's main Sunday

[22:32] Telegram

[22:33] yes cover the front cover article

[22:37] thank you foreign

[22:45] so just everybody look forward to their

[22:47] notices coming out after being

[22:49] postmarked on Friday and

[22:51] make your appointments if you'd like to

[22:53] with the assessors

[22:56] Julia did you for uh I know our board

[22:58] members have been advised of this but

[23:00] did you want to have any statement at

[23:01] all about the uh the great two Fireworks

[23:04] shows that we had

[23:05] albeit one of them slightly abbreviated

[23:09] uh I mean the Windjammer day fire show

[23:13] was wonderful the second one was

[23:15] wonderful as well except we received the

[23:17] finale in the middle five minutes into

[23:19] the not even in the middle but five

[23:21] minutes into the show unfortunately

[23:24] um there was a mishap and the all

[23:28] protocols and procedures were followed

[23:30] by but and the finale was covered as per protocol

[23:36] um but it did

[23:38] um

[23:39] blow up and I don't know no other way to

[23:42] put it besides it just blew up

[23:45] um all of the pyrotechs people had to go

[23:47] swimming and fortunately there was

[23:50] nobody harmed

[23:52] um by the event it has happened it's

[23:55] happened to me with Bay Harbor back when

[23:57] I was a small child but

[23:59] um it's a it's a rare but but a risk

[24:02] nonetheless and we're just fortunate

[24:04] that nobody from Central pirate texts or

[24:06] anybody out on the

[24:08] um barge was harmed they did have a fire

[24:11] small fire that they had to put out so

[24:14] hmm

[24:17] oh the things that happen that no one

[24:19] else gets to know about yeah great

[24:22] all right well thanks for all this time

[24:24] manager announcements um let's go ahead

[24:27] and move on to uh Town Department

[24:29] reports uh as far as I'm aware we don't

[24:32] have anyone tonight for Town departments

[24:34] nope okay I will probably my next one

[24:38] will probably be

[24:39] um

[24:40] after the parking season is over I'll

[24:43] have Bob come in and give an overview

[24:45] about the parking machines and and um

[24:49] just the assessment of how it went or

[24:52] how it could go better and and

[24:54] um we'll go from there so he'll probably

[24:56] be my next

[24:58] department head that will come before

[25:00] you

[25:01] okay

[25:02] he doesn't know it yet but he probably

[25:04] will after it being on TV tonight

[25:07] great okay

[25:09] uh

[25:11] selectman's reports I have nothing uh

[25:13] any other board members anything to add

[25:15] this evening

[25:17] okay let's keep things moving forward

[25:19] then uh let's roll right into financials

[25:21] Julia will you take us through our First

[25:24] Financial the new calendar fiscal year

[25:27] as you um as Kathleen emailed you this

[25:31] morning uh there was only one paid

[25:34] payroll warrant so um we just sort of

[25:37] waited to not give that Revenue expense

[25:40] sheets there was nothing to compare it

[25:41] to

[25:43] um so you'll receive that at the next

[25:45] meeting with the budget put in and

[25:47] um there'll be an AP worn and several

[25:49] other warrant um

[25:51] payroll warrants at that point with the

[25:53] budget posted the bank balance is 2

[25:56] million seven hundred and twenty

[25:58] thousand eight hundred and ten dollars

[26:00] uh the three AP warrants which are a

[26:05] combination of

[26:06] um fiscal year-end prior to June 30 as

[26:10] well as after July 1 total 578

[26:15] 630.72 cents

[26:17] and as of June 30 which

[26:20] um that's where we determined the cutoff

[26:23] Mark for taxes collected year to date

[26:25] because after that it's considered

[26:26] deferred revenue is

[26:29] um was 99.3 percent so we were roughly

[26:32] about point one percent off our

[26:34] collections compared to this time last

[26:36] year

[26:37] or June 30 of last year so

[26:40] uh does anyone have any questions on the

[26:44] um bank balance or the AP warrants

[26:47] I think Trish Fallon should be commended

[26:49] for her hard work on the tax collection

[26:52] and not to take personally that she was

[26:55] unfortunate to be one-tenth of one

[26:58] percent off from her previous record of

[27:00] 99.4 percent

[27:02] I will pass that on to her sure she she

[27:05] works very hard her I cannot ask for um

[27:09] somebody to be more conscientious about

[27:12] her cash proceeding and

[27:15] um reconciling her numbers at the end of

[27:17] every month and I'm very confident in

[27:20] her um abilities with her money handling

[27:23] she does very good so I I will

[27:25] definitely pass that on to her Mike

[27:27] right any other questions on financials

[27:30] for Julia

[27:33] okay great let's keep on moving forward
