30
00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:09,920
on the website or in person

31
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,960
we have forms as I mentioned at the last

32
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,040
meeting

33
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,200
um frequently used forums out in the

34
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,060
middle of the lobby even when the office

35
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:20,340
is closed the door is unlocked so that

36
00:01:20,340 --> 00:01:22,140
people can continue to use the restroom

37
00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:24,240
as well

38
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,299
um just to let you know that July 15th

39
00:01:27,299 --> 00:01:29,759
the RFQ will

40
00:01:29,759 --> 00:01:31,259
um be coming down for the leg

41
00:01:31,259 --> 00:01:33,900
streetlight conversion and I've had

42
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:36,420
several vendors that have reached out

43
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:40,560
and they're um anxiously awaiting us to

44
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,579
do it I did put in the uh RFQ that we

45
00:01:44,579 --> 00:01:47,520
would set up some times for interviews

46
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,780
with the board

47
00:01:48,780 --> 00:01:50,220
um sometime at the beginning of August

48
00:01:50,220 --> 00:01:52,920
so it looks probably right now that

49
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,780
there's been four companies interested

50
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:57,420
in it so I was thinking that

51
00:01:57,420 --> 00:01:59,159
um if we kept each one of them to a

52
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:00,600
minimum and they bring a demonstration

53
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,700
we will be having in-person meetings at

54
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:05,520
that point that um each one of you could

55
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,680
see the equipment and

56
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,720
here um

57
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,420
you know what they have to offer we also

58
00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:14,160
will be getting a spreadsheet showing

59
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,560
the comparisons and the savings between

60
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,200
each organization so many things go into

61
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,739
that RFQ package that we put out so I

62
00:02:22,739 --> 00:02:25,379
will set those up I also um did put out

63
00:02:25,379 --> 00:02:27,840
a doodle Poll for the wayfinding

64
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:28,800
workshop

65
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,739
have chosen one date except I was kind

66
00:02:31,739 --> 00:02:33,599
of holding off for a few minutes

67
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:36,360
thinking that Ken was gonna comply and

68
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,720
say okay fine I'll come that Tuesday but

69
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,180
um I guess the schedules haven't changed

70
00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:44,819
so I will probably be choosing on the

71
00:02:44,819 --> 00:02:46,200
date when at least four of the board

72
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,239
members can be there unfortunately I

73
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:49,800
didn't want to date when everybody could

74
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,540
be but

75
00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:54,720

Charter like we did back in 2019 we do

158
00:06:23,699 --> 00:06:25,080
not have to

159
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,039
um put it as a referendum vote so

160
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:31,259
just the board had to vote in the

161
00:06:31,259 --> 00:06:34,380
minutes from each town uh got taken to

162
00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:37,979
the state for adoption so

163
00:06:37,979 --> 00:06:40,620
did anyone have any questions on that or

164
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:41,819
anything

165
00:06:41,819 --> 00:06:43,560
further to add

166
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,020
okay I'm not sure how many of you are

167
00:06:46,020 --> 00:06:47,699
going to be going to that I mean it's

168
00:06:47,699 --> 00:06:48,660
their

169
00:06:48,660 --> 00:06:52,139
it's in person and there's

170
00:06:52,139 --> 00:06:53,580
um they're discussing the potential

171
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:56,460
Charter revisions at that meeting so I

172
00:06:56,460 --> 00:06:58,319
will be there I know Dan said he will be

173
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:01,319
there so from there um

174
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:03,479
we'll probably discuss it at the next

175
00:07:03,479 --> 00:07:06,360
the meeting after that of what the

176
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,699
school had come up with and then put it

177
00:07:08,699 --> 00:07:10,860
on the next agenda for voting

178
00:07:10,860 --> 00:07:12,599
for the Amendments that both towns

179
00:07:12,599 --> 00:07:15,000
agreed upon

180
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,699
right and and just as a reminder to the

181
00:07:17,699 --> 00:07:19,139
board

182
00:07:19,139 --> 00:07:20,280
um

183
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,220
you know the charter is a document

184
00:07:23,220 --> 00:07:25,139
that belongs to the two towns and all

185
00:07:25,139 --> 00:07:27,720
the Selectmen so

186
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,319
um we've asked the school board members

187
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,860
and the trustees to

188
00:07:34,860 --> 00:07:37,500
um look at it and request any changes

189
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:40,080
they want to make

190
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,699
um

191
00:07:41,699 --> 00:07:43,199
and

192
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:45,000
depending on what they come forward with

193
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,379
if there are changes that we can

194
00:07:46,379 --> 00:07:49,620
incorporate right away we'll do that and

195
00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:53,340
if they're not they may be changes that

196
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:55,919
take a lot more discussion we'll just

197
00:07:55,919 --> 00:07:58,199
continue to have more discussion but

198
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:01,560
make the changes we want to make now

199
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,860
and then continue to have further team

200
00:08:03,860 --> 00:08:07,220
discussions and possibly have additional

201
00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:09,720
amendments later on down the road next

202
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,840
year or the year after

203
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,639
thanks for mentioning that the goal was

204
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:15,960
to while we're going through this

205
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,240
process if there's low hanging fruit if

206
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,400
there's something that's obvious uh hey

207
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,319
let's take advantage of that certainly

208
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:23,940
not trying to circumvent or

209
00:08:23,940 --> 00:08:25,440
short-circuit any type of the review

210
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,199
process it's just while we're at it if

211
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:30,419
there's something of value that could be

212
00:08:30,419 --> 00:08:32,099
easily done

213
00:08:32,099 --> 00:08:35,580
um so I appreciate you mentioning that

214
00:08:35,580 --> 00:08:37,860

the last only two days that she was here

277
00:11:09,420 --> 00:11:11,459

so she came back so I'm happy about that

284
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:36,660
I did it's kind of funny because I

285
00:11:36,660 --> 00:11:39,000
forgot that our copier did two pages so

286
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,440
I was thinking wow my announcements got

287
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,360
very short but I did have the school

288
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,640
Charter announcement and I had one other

289
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,579
announcement to give you so I apologize

290
00:11:47,579 --> 00:11:49,980
um sometimes The copier does backsided

291
00:11:49,980 --> 00:11:52,980
and I don't realize it but I did um last

292
00:11:52,980 --> 00:11:56,220
week I did set down Wednesday and met

293
00:11:56,220 --> 00:12:00,120
with Rob du plessis our uh assessor to

294
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,279
formulate and figure out a plan going

295
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:03,959
forward for

296
00:12:03,959 --> 00:12:05,940
um the re-evaluation

297
00:12:05,940 --> 00:12:08,279
and I just

298
00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:10,019
um I wanted to sort of give a brief

299
00:12:10,019 --> 00:12:12,899
overview of how that's going they began

300
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:15,959
their final phase of their um 2022

301
00:12:15,959 --> 00:12:19,380
project this past week we had um

302
00:12:19,380 --> 00:12:22,079
Rob himself and

303
00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:25,019
um his agent plus over the course of

304
00:12:25,019 --> 00:12:27,360
this summer they've been in and out and

305
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,980
riding around town and going to

306
00:12:28,980 --> 00:12:30,540
different places through throughout town

307
00:12:30,540 --> 00:12:32,579
so they're at their final stages of that

308
00:12:32,579 --> 00:12:33,839
work

309
00:12:33,839 --> 00:12:37,019
um notice of proposed valuations will be

310
00:12:37,019 --> 00:12:39,120
sent to All Property Owners by the end

311
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,399
of this week

312
00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:43,139
um these notices will include the new

313
00:12:43,139 --> 00:12:45,600
assessment as well as an estimated tax

314
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,680
amount

315
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:49,800
uh Rob and I said the other day and put

316
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,660
plugged in the numbers from this year's

317
00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:53,760
budget a lot of times if those numbers

318
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,560
aren't available yet they'll use last

319
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:57,720
year's but it was good that we actually

320
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,399
have been in receipt of both the school

321
00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:02,339
the county and and obviously our budget

322
00:13:02,339 --> 00:13:04,440
so we were actually able to put real

323
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,420
numbers to it

324
00:13:06,420 --> 00:13:09,120
um and putting that together we're

325
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,000
looking at a tentative mill rate

326
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,940
estimated about 8.5 which is

327
00:13:14,940 --> 00:13:16,980
um a drastic decrease in the mill rate

328
00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:19,459
because we did gain in valuation

329
00:13:19,459 --> 00:13:21,420
Property Owners will be given an

330
00:13:21,420 --> 00:13:23,940
opportunity to discuss the proposed

331
00:13:23,940 --> 00:13:26,399
valuations with a representative rjg

332
00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:27,839
appraisal

333
00:13:27,839 --> 00:13:30,660
and what we're doing is we're reserving

334
00:13:30,660 --> 00:13:33,540
um the room in here from July 25th 26th

335
00:13:33,540 --> 00:13:36,060
27th and 28th and this will all be

336
00:13:36,060 --> 00:13:38,160
outlined on everybody's notices that

337
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,560
will be mailed out this Friday

338
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:42,540
um and taxpayers can either meet with us

339
00:13:42,540 --> 00:13:44,399
meet not meet with us I'm not meeting

340
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:46,800
with them but meet with the assessors

341
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,440
there's going to be a whole team of them

342
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:50,880
um they can meet

343
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,760
we've decided to set up a zoom they can

344
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,100
phone call or they can come in person to

345
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:58,320
meet with them to discuss

346
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,779
um their act what will actually look

347
00:14:00,779 --> 00:14:03,420
sort of like a real tax bill but it's a

348
00:14:03,420 --> 00:14:05,100
revaluation notice

349
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,339
and um these meetings will be set up by

350
00:14:08,339 --> 00:14:10,800
appointment only and the notices will

351
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,959
have all the information to set up that

352
00:14:12,959 --> 00:14:13,740
meeting

353
00:14:13,740 --> 00:14:16,139
this step is part of the revaluation

354
00:14:16,139 --> 00:14:17,940
contract

355
00:14:17,940 --> 00:14:20,339
um and is you know we're looking forward

356
00:14:20,339 --> 00:14:22,680
to anybody and everybody that can make

357
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,720
it and if you can't we can you know come

358
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,600
up with another way but this has been

359
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,699
pretty successful over the last couple

360
00:14:29,699 --> 00:14:31,500
of years of him doing

361
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:33,480
um reval appointments and if people are

362
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,880
on vacation then they can phone in or or

363
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,040
zoom in

364
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,579
um after the time of um the appointments

365
00:14:41,579 --> 00:14:43,760
we are looking to

366
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,519
commit around I think it was I forgot

367
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:50,820
August 5th no later than August 5th and

368
00:14:50,820 --> 00:14:52,980
we did give an extension um on the

369
00:14:52,980 --> 00:14:55,260
warrant process this year so that people

370
00:14:55,260 --> 00:14:57,839
can at least have the 30 30 plus days

371
00:14:57,839 --> 00:15:00,480
almost 40 days to get their tax payments

372
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,959
into us without being considered late

373
00:15:03,959 --> 00:15:06,480
after the time that those meetings and

374
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,399
those hearings are done

375
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:11,760
um the normal appeal process applies the

376
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,880
taxpayer initiated abatement requests

377
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,980
can be made and that period of time is

378
00:15:16,980 --> 00:15:19,800
185 days after a commitment

379
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,079
so um just to let you know there

380
00:15:22,079 --> 00:15:23,760
there'll be a lot of action going on

381
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,920
here between the um 25th through the

382
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,880
28th and uh I've stressed to Rob and and

383
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,699
Rob's crew and he understands that it's

384
00:15:32,699 --> 00:15:35,399
very important that

385
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:37,740
um during when we contemplated doing a

386
00:15:37,740 --> 00:15:39,420
reval that

387
00:15:39,420 --> 00:15:41,759
um we reach out to the community and and

388
00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:43,320
make sure that everybody understands

389
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,759
what they're getting prior to their

390
00:15:44,759 --> 00:15:47,040
actual physical tax bills so those

391
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,899
notices are all being there all being

392
00:15:48,899 --> 00:15:51,839
nailed from a third party uh vendor that

393
00:15:51,839 --> 00:15:54,899
Rob has included as part of his reval

394
00:15:54,899 --> 00:15:55,680
um

395
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,920
monies that he has built to us so

396
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,899
did anyone have any questions about any

397
00:16:00,899 --> 00:16:02,459
of this

398
00:16:02,459 --> 00:16:04,920
uh yes I just wanna

399
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,199
go over those dates or have you go over

400
00:16:07,199 --> 00:16:09,180
so look the letters are going to be

401
00:16:09,180 --> 00:16:11,040
mailed out this Friday

402
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,420
by this Friday yep okay and then the

403
00:16:15,420 --> 00:16:19,320
days where there you can come in and see

404
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,699
them in person is the the 25th sixth and

405
00:16:23,699 --> 00:16:28,259
seventh 25th 26th 27th and 28th okay

406
00:16:28,259 --> 00:16:30,889
mm-hmm

407
00:16:30,899 --> 00:16:34,440
and we Rob is actually

408
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,139
set up an entire appointment calendar

409
00:16:37,139 --> 00:16:39,180
um I know back when I was here in 2003

410
00:16:39,180 --> 00:16:42,000
the phones were crazy busy

411
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,339
um but he's he's well organized it with

412
00:16:44,339 --> 00:16:46,920
both Michelle and Trish and we'll all be

413
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,899
helping out to make sure that

414
00:16:48,899 --> 00:16:51,300
um you know people get their calendars

415
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:53,519
get their names on the calendars and

416
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:55,500
their appointments either by Zoom phone

417
00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:56,940
or in person

418
00:16:56,940 --> 00:16:57,959
right

419
00:16:57,959 --> 00:17:03,839
so people should understand that

420
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:06,720
just because they assessed value on the

421
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,939
house is going up doesn't mean their

422
00:17:08,939 --> 00:17:10,740
taxes are going to go up because the

423
00:17:10,740 --> 00:17:13,319
actual mill rate is going down exactly

424
00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,500
so a whole chunk of people in town might

425
00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:18,780
actually their taxes might stay more or

426
00:17:18,780 --> 00:17:21,480
less the same stay the same or decrease

427
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,210
some yep

428
00:17:25,220 --> 00:17:28,020
how are those uh in-person

429
00:17:28,020 --> 00:17:31,080
um opportunities to question uh

430
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,760
scheduled will that be by calling the

431
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,240
town hall yes and it will say it I mean

432
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,980
they've already got us they've he

433
00:17:37,980 --> 00:17:39,780
provided this evening to me a sample

434
00:17:39,780 --> 00:17:41,280
notice

435
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,740
um which states you know where how to

436
00:17:43,740 --> 00:17:45,539
call how to make an appointment and what

437
00:17:45,539 --> 00:17:48,600
dates are available and you call and we

438
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,000
have an appointment book that

439
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,179
um Rob gave both girls to be able to set

440
00:17:54,179 --> 00:17:56,340
up those appointments for time for times

441
00:17:56,340 --> 00:17:58,260
throughout the days

442
00:17:58,260 --> 00:17:59,600
foreign

443
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,700
I think either four or five I think five

444
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:05,460
people here to actually

445
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:15,470
um be able to answer questions for each time each person that comes in so that people aren't waiting

446
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,440
okay

447
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,780
how much time is allocated for an

448
00:18:18,780 --> 00:18:20,940
appointment

449
00:18:20,940 --> 00:18:22,980
um I honestly would have to run out and

450
00:18:22,980 --> 00:18:24,000
look at the appointment book because

451
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,520
that's I was we were crunching numbers

452
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,080
and I wasn't paying attention when he

453
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,100
was out there discussing the

454
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:33,059
appointments so I I don't know if it was

455
00:18:33,059 --> 00:18:35,340
15 minutes or an hour and a half I have

456
00:18:35,340 --> 00:18:37,799
no idea

457
00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:40,620
yes 15 minutes should be enough

458
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:43,740
how long 20 minutes it's 20 minutes it

459
00:18:43,740 --> 00:18:45,120
was 20 minutes okay I forgot Michelle

460
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:47,400
got my appointment calendar yes yeah but

461
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,140
that makes sense that's that's enough

462
00:18:49,140 --> 00:18:51,360
time having been through it I can tell

463
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:54,169
you it's enough

464
00:18:54,179 --> 00:18:56,120
five minutes

465
00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:58,740
probably will be a lot of people that

466
00:18:58,740 --> 00:19:01,200
won't even be coming in I mean there's

467
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,780
gonna this is if people are questioning

468
00:19:03,780 --> 00:19:05,700
their new assessment

469
00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:07,260
um but there may be a lot of people

470
00:19:07,260 --> 00:19:09,360
since we now get to actually put that

471
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:12,480
estimated 2022 tax on it

472
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,919
um that may be

473
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:16,140
absolutely thrilled and have no reason

474
00:19:16,140 --> 00:19:18,299
to walk through the door to to question

475
00:19:18,299 --> 00:19:21,059
what they're getting so I'm not I don't

476
00:19:21,059 --> 00:19:22,320
think all

477
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,260
2000 some odd taxpayers are going to be

478
00:19:25,260 --> 00:19:28,160
making appointments

479
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,140
so I just wanted to inform you that that

480
00:19:31,140 --> 00:19:33,120
since we haven't really talked about the

481
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:35,520
reveal that a lot of it has been

482
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,080
happening behind the scenes we've had

483
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,820
laptops set out in the other room where

484
00:19:38,820 --> 00:19:42,960
they've been motorman in from um Pitts

485
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,660
Pittsfield and doing all the sketching

486
00:19:45,660 --> 00:19:48,240
in the new program and things have been

487
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,500
a lot of things have been happening

488
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:54,010
behind the scenes so

489
00:19:54,020 --> 00:19:56,520
the numbers even though our budget did

490
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,460
go up I'm happy with you know the

491
00:19:59,460 --> 00:20:01,200
definite decrease in the mill rate of

492
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,159
course

493
00:20:02,159 --> 00:20:04,799
and Julia just as a reminder we needed

494
00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:07,740
to do this because it had wanted been an

495
00:20:07,740 --> 00:20:09,480
extraordinarily long amount of time and

496
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,659
two as I believe Robert said that there

497
00:20:12,659 --> 00:20:16,260
when you hit an 80 percent uh difference

498
00:20:16,260 --> 00:20:18,539
or something that uh if the state

499
00:20:18,539 --> 00:20:21,419
basically says that this is mandated and

500
00:20:21,419 --> 00:20:24,960
needs to get and we were barely at 70 so

501
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:30,900
I mean it was definitely warranted okay

502
00:20:30,900 --> 00:20:32,460
great

503
00:20:32,460 --> 00:20:34,260
so I have

504
00:20:34,260 --> 00:20:36,780
sorry I mean since you're we're talking

505
00:20:36,780 --> 00:20:43,980
about taxes and tax assessments I if if people didn't see the main Sunday

506
00:20:43,980 --> 00:20:47,159
telegram yesterday

507
00:20:47,159 --> 00:20:48,960
um you should look at it because it

508
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,360
talked about the the

509
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:54,299
um tax stabilization law that will go

510
00:20:54,299 --> 00:20:58,140
into effect for senior citizens

511
00:20:58,140 --> 00:21:00,250
um

512
00:21:00,260 --> 00:21:02,280
that will help

513
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,220
their taxes potentially if they meet

514
00:21:05,220 --> 00:21:08,880
eligibility requirements next year

515
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,380
so

516
00:21:10,380 --> 00:21:12,659
and I had

517
00:21:12,659 --> 00:21:15,240
um quite a lengthy conversation with Rob

518
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,940
and I know that on the manager's meeting

519
00:21:17,940 --> 00:21:20,340
there's been a minister meeting the

520
00:21:20,340 --> 00:21:22,140
managers list served there's been quite

521
00:21:22,140 --> 00:21:25,380
a lot of discussion with ld290

522
00:21:25,380 --> 00:21:27,240
um trying to figure out both how our

523
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,480
financial software our our Trio is going

524
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,539
to handle it for collections

525
00:21:33,539 --> 00:21:35,580
um but there's a lot of questions to

526
00:21:35,580 --> 00:21:38,220
actually to asking main Revenue Service

527
00:21:38,220 --> 00:21:40,799
as well so they're asking for Town

528
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:43,860
managers to um get together to actually

529
00:21:43,860 --> 00:21:46,320
put these questions out to Maine Revenue

530
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,900
Service about how how towns are actually

531
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:51,600
going to handle this going forward

532
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:52,860
um I guess there's going to be an

533
00:21:52,860 --> 00:21:56,280
updated notification on August 8th going

534
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,320
out to all municipalities as well as

535
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,000
forms so

536
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,679
um I will keep you posted when I receive

537
00:22:01,679 --> 00:22:03,559
that

538
00:22:03,559 --> 00:22:07,679
yeah well the article also did say that

539
00:22:07,679 --> 00:22:10,520
funding for this law what hadn't really

540
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,020
quite hadn't happened or not happened

541
00:22:13,020 --> 00:22:15,059
Beyond one year or so there's certainly

542
00:22:15,059 --> 00:22:18,600
a lot of questions about it but um but

543
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:19,860
um I thought the article is pretty

544
00:22:19,860 --> 00:22:22,080
interesting and and it was particularly

545
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,640
interesting to me that a republican from arusta County was the one who put

546
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,900
forth the bill so anyway

547
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:32,520
that was in yesterday's main Sunday

548
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,720
Telegram

549
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,980
yes cover the front cover article

Julia did you for uh I know our board

members have been advised of this but

558
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,919
did you want to have any statement at

559
00:23:01,919 --> 00:23:04,320
all about the uh the great two Fireworks

560
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,700
shows that we had

561
00:23:05,700 --> 00:23:09,260
albeit one of them slightly abbreviated

562
00:23:09,260 --> 00:23:13,260
uh I mean the Windjammer day fire show

563
00:23:13,260 --> 00:23:15,000
was wonderful the second one was

564
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,760
wonderful as well except we received the

565
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,799
finale in the middle five minutes into

566
00:23:19,799 --> 00:23:21,299
the not even in the middle but five

567
00:23:21,299 --> 00:23:24,360
minutes into the show unfortunately

568
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:28,140
um there was a mishap and the all

569
00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:30,240
protocols and procedures were followed

570
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:36,419
by but and the finale was covered as per protocol

571
00:23:36,419 --> 00:23:38,220
um but it did

572
00:23:38,220 --> 00:23:39,299
um

573
00:23:39,299 --> 00:23:42,720
blow up and I don't know no other way to

574
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,179
put it besides it just blew up

575
00:23:45,179 --> 00:23:47,520
um all of the pyrotechs people had to go

576
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,640
swimming and fortunately there was

577
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,380
nobody harmed

578
00:23:52,380 --> 00:23:55,200
um by the event it has happened it's

579
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,179
happened to me with Bay Harbor back when

580
00:23:57,179 --> 00:23:59,460
I was a small child but

581
00:23:59,460 --> 00:24:02,820
um it's a it's a rare but but a risk

582
00:24:02,820 --> 00:24:04,440
nonetheless and we're just fortunate

583
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,779
that nobody from Central pirate texts or

584
00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:08,520
anybody out on the

585
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,039
um barge was harmed they did have a fire

586
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:14,159
small fire that they had to put out so

587
00:24:14,159 --> 00:24:17,029
hmm

588
00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:19,559

589
00:24:19,559 --> 00:24:22,799

00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:40,799
um

598
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:43,500
after the parking season is over I'll

00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:45,659
have Bob come in and give an overview

600
00:24:45,659 --> 00:24:49,140

00:24:52,020 --> 00:24:54,720
how it could go better and and

603
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,820

okay let's keep things moving forward

616
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,779
then uh let's roll right into financials

617
00:25:21,779 --> 00:25:24,179
Julia will you take us through our First

618
00:25:24,179 --> 00:25:27,419
Financial the new calendar fiscal year

619
00:25:27,419 --> 00:25:31,860
as you um as Kathleen emailed you this

620
00:25:31,860 --> 00:25:34,679
morning uh there was only one paid

621
00:25:34,679 --> 00:25:37,860
payroll warrant so um we just sort of

622
00:25:37,860 --> 00:25:40,140
waited to not give that Revenue expense

623
00:25:40,140 --> 00:25:41,760
sheets there was nothing to compare it

624
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,440
to

625
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,120
um so you'll receive that at the next

626
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:47,279
meeting with the budget put in and

627
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:49,140
um there'll be an AP worn and several

628
00:25:49,140 --> 00:25:51,120
other warrant um

629
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:53,100
payroll warrants at that point with the

630
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:56,760
budget posted the bank balance is 2

631
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,559
million seven hundred and twenty

632
00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:00,860
thousand eight hundred and ten dollars

633
00:26:00,860 --> 00:26:05,039
uh the three AP warrants which are a

634
00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:06,539
combination of

635
00:26:06,539 --> 00:26:10,140
um fiscal year-end prior to June 30 as

636
00:26:10,140 --> 00:26:15,679
well as after July 1 total 578

637
00:26:15,679 --> 00:26:17,760
630.72 cents

638
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,700
and as of June 30 which

639
00:26:20,700 --> 00:26:23,039
um that's where we determined the cutoff

640
00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:25,380
Mark for taxes collected year to date

641
00:26:25,380 --> 00:26:26,700
because after that it's considered

642
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:29,100
deferred revenue is

643
00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:32,760
um was 99.3 percent so we were roughly

644
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,740
about point one percent off our

645
00:26:34,740 --> 00:26:36,659
collections compared to this time last

646
00:26:36,659 --> 00:26:37,559
year

647
00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:40,919
or June 30 of last year so

648
00:26:40,919 --> 00:26:44,039
uh does anyone have any questions on the

649
00:26:44,039 --> 00:26:47,039
um bank balance or the AP warrants

650
00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:49,860
I think Trish Fallon should be commended

651
00:26:49,860 --> 00:26:52,260
for her hard work on the tax collection

652
00:26:52,260 --> 00:26:55,620
and not to take personally that she was

653
00:26:55,620 --> 00:26:58,260
unfortunate to be one-tenth of one

654
00:26:58,260 --> 00:27:00,559
percent off from her previous record of

655
00:27:00,559 --> 00:27:02,640
99.4 percent

656
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,940
I will pass that on to her sure she she

657
00:27:05,940 --> 00:27:09,539
works very hard her I cannot ask for um

658
00:27:09,539 --> 00:27:12,539
somebody to be more conscientious about

659
00:27:12,539 --> 00:27:15,000
her cash proceeding and

660
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,039
um reconciling her numbers at the end of

661
00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:20,640
every month and I'm very confident in

662
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,700
her um abilities with her money handling

663
00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:25,559
she does very good so I I will

664
00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:27,600
definitely pass that on to her Mike

665
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,120

666
00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:33,169
