[0:37] evening let's go ahead and get things
[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
[4:16] this will be our last Zoom meeting so
[4:20] um
[4:21] I look forward to having you all back in
[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

[4:38] which was Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday
[4:41] our esteemed member Mr rail can check
[4:44] his calendar and uh see if he can join
[4:47] with us
[4:49] seems highly likely okay I'll send you
[4:53] an email about that okay um and as I
[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
[5:12] um field work on August 3rd from Fred
[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

[9:26] administrative
[9:27] part-time administrative assistant

[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
