[0:42] I have a script.
[0:46] Good evening. I'd like to call the special meeting of the Falls Village Recreation Commission to order on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2020, at 7 p.m., and the cause. I'm just letting you know some housekeeping, because we are both in person and online when we vote.
[1:13] We have to basically say our names do a role call whether it's VA or Nae.
[1:22] Right?
[1:23] All right, here we go.
[1:26] There is no public here in our names.
[1:33] We have three people missing.
[1:35] But we do have a quorum, Lauren, Dan,
[1:40] Sis.
[1:47] Everybody took a look at the agenda, corrects, and everybody took a look at the documents
[1:55] that I sent that should hopefully make this go a little bit quicker.
[2:01] So, the first order of business is the possible action to recommend the swim instructor.
[2:16] So, I have a motion on this.
[2:22] Is there a motion to recommend a swim instructor?
[2:27] Yeah, I make a motion to recommend some instructions.
[2:33] Is there a second?
[2:36] Okay.
[2:37] First.
[2:39] Any discussion on this notion?
[2:45] Nope.
[2:46] Okay.
[2:47] All those in favor of, well actually perhaps I should name the person.
[2:53] The person that was recommended was
[2:56] Katherine Busheet and she has already been recommended as a lifeguard and she has a lot of
[3:06] experience doing lots of different things and this is really good. A good recommendation
[3:16] from Nicky and I think we should just move forward with voting.
[3:25] Although it's in favor of recommending Katherine Bushy as swimming instructor for the
[3:35] 2026, 2026, please say aye, aye, aye.
[3:40] Okay, so that Gallagher says aye.
[3:43] Okay, well, as I love says aye, any opposed?
[3:48] No.
[3:49] Okay, no extensions.
[3:51] Okay, so the motion passes.
[3:54] And I will send a letter to the Board of Selectman,
[3:58] so that they can move on our recommendation here at the next item on a business is the
[4:15] action to recommend a lifeguard. And then I have a motion on this recommendation just
[4:25] start off with. I'll make the mark in. Okay, so Matt, we're going to make you make the motion
[4:33] any seconds. Chris, do you want to do the second? I'll do the second. All right, the second, Chris.
[4:42] Then he's discussion.
[4:48] No discussion.
[4:52] I'm just going to make sure. All right. All those
[4:58] favor of recommend. I should just start making the motion to recommend
[5:07] Richie Crane as the
[5:13] lifeguard. So we can go, you know what, perhaps we should go back and amend
[5:18] Oh, Dan just got here. So hold on one second, let me admit him.
[5:29] Okay.
[5:31] Hi, Dan.
[5:34] Can you hear us Dan?
[5:39] I found us to unmute.
[5:47] Yep, I can hear you.
[5:48] Okay, good.
[5:50] All right, so Dan, we have.
[5:53] We are on to our second item of business, which is making a recommendation.
[6:05] And we already went through the motions, but I neglected to state who the person was that we were going to recommend.
[6:14] So I'm going to just do that.
[6:17] Or let you know who it is just in case you have not been able to read any of the documents.
[6:23] The lifeguard that we are moving to recommend is Richie Crane.
[6:28] He has been recommended by Nikki as well as, well actually, by me as well.
[6:39] He is a senior in college, high school, sorry, as well as a newly, I don't know what you call it,
[6:51] but he is now a Eagle Scout and he will also be available to pick up some hours towards the end of the season because he does not go off to college until mid September.
[7:08] So that's where we are and we do you have any questions or anything to add.
[7:16] I do not. Okay. Then we are going to go forward with actually voting.
[7:28] And because we are
[7:30] For online and in person, we do, and even the online people, I mean, the in person people should just
[7:35] state their names before they make a vote just so that I can record it properly. So all those
[7:43] favor of recommending, make e-crain, not make e-crain, rich e-crain, as a lifeguard to the
[7:55] board of select men, please say aye.
[8:03] Okay, Matt says aye.
[8:08] Okay, Matt says aye.
[8:08] Okay, Matt says aye.
[8:10] Okay, Matt says aye.
[8:10] Let's just say aye.
[8:11] Do you say aye or?
[8:15] I said aye.
[8:16] I said aye.
[8:17] I said aye.
[8:18] All right.
[8:18] So all in favor motion passes.
[8:24] All right.
[8:25] Do do do.
[8:26] Okay.
[8:26] So this is.
[8:29] First.
[8:31] Third.
[8:32] Second.
[8:33] You know, third.
[8:36] Oh.
[8:38] Um, item on the agenda is the possible action on setting of non-resident rates.
[8:46] Date passes, season passes, individual.
[8:50] Season passes, family.
[8:52] And then a pool party package.
[8:57] Um, so.
[9:00] Let me just.
[9:04] So
[9:07] the next item on the agenda, discussion of proposed rates.
[9:11] So is there a motion on the floor?
[9:13] Just so we can get it out there so we can do the discussion.
[9:17] Apparently that is the proper way of doing it.
[9:20] You make a motion on the action.
[9:25] Then you second it and then you discuss.
[9:30] So, is there a motion to, I don't know even how to write this, all right, so, is there a motion to set the rates for non-residents?
[9:54] Yes, for each one of these things, the single person family is well as, oh,
[10:05] day rates,
[10:08] you know, I have all these things as well as the pool package, pool party package.
[10:17] Just say yes.
[10:21] I'll make a motion. Matt will make the motion to move forward and voting on the pool
[10:27] pass.
[10:29] Oh, those are the key schedule.
[10:31] Perfect.
[10:34] There it is.
[10:35] Matt.
[10:37] Do I have a second?
[10:41] Second.
[10:45] Okay.
[10:47] So now we have the discussion.
[10:50] So it was part of the discussion.
[10:54] I sent in the email.
[10:58] The information from 2005 and 2004 which showed the policies which defines a resident as well as the rates from those two years.
[11:20] And I believe that is for 2005 so it's like a big font that's the 2005 one so in 2004 just so you know the non resident day pass was five dollars a person it was increased
[11:45] in 2005 to $10 a person. Then for non-resident season pass, individual was 150 in 2004
[12:00] and 2005 and 300 for a family rate for both 2004 and 2005.
[12:09] Is this the 2024 and 2025 or 2024 or 2025, I'm sorry?
[12:16] Um, did I say the wrong years?
[12:20] Just it would have been the pool season of 2024, so that was two years ago.
[12:29] And then 2025 was last summer.
[12:32] This year is 2026 summer, and it's really hard because we split against two
[12:40] fiscal years. You said 2004 and 2005. So, thank you for clarifying that. Thank you for clarifying that because
[12:49] apologize for making that, but thank you. I don't worry. I thought I didn't. I missed that attachment. No, clearly didn't that you got it right
[13:01] um so um does anybody well maybe the first thing before we talk about the actual rates
[13:14] we could look at the rules and regulations and I believe and Dan may be able to
[13:26] Confirm or not, the regulations from one year, 2024 to 2025 were combined so that they would be the same, except the fact that from 2004 to 2000, sorry I did it again,
[13:51] 2024 to 2025 we added vaping is not allowed to include non, no smoking and no vaping
[14:08] we're just discussing the rights well this is the whole thing we are talking it all goes
[14:16] together. It all goes together because the definition of resident versus non-resident is
[14:28] there currently, somewhere, and it says that a taxpayer e-infalls village,
[14:38] and it talks
[14:38] about renters of apartments, I'm just making sure nobody else popped in, and what they
[14:45] to provide. However, it was brought up to my attention that
[14:56] someone who had a business
[15:00] In fall's village, wanted to know if the
[15:09] person who lived out of the out of fall's village could have the resident rate because they have a business here, because they are a taxpayer in fall's village.
[15:23] So that's why it relates to the rates.
[15:34] So if a person has a business, but lives out of falls village, do we treat them as a resident
[15:42] because it says taxpayer in falls village?
[15:49] And if they're on the master tax list, I think that should, I don't know, what your thoughts.
[15:55] I personally think, you know, if you're paying taxes, regardless, if it's, you know,
[15:59] residential, the vehicles or business, your tax payer and falls village.
[16:07] All tax payers, so yeah, well, they get a discount.
[16:11] I mean, I guess they pay, they don't pay property taxes right, they pay.
[16:15] They do pay, they pay real estate taxes.
[16:19] Is my understanding, if they have a business in falls village, they are a tax payer.
[16:29] And it says, note residents of Innsville or North Canaan are not eligible, but that is, yeah, they're touched by it, but they're not, they're not a fool.
[16:40] Tax back because they pay property taxes wherever they're living.
[16:47] So I don't know if we need to make a clarification or if we leave it as it is, I see like whatever that portion I agree that people who contribute to the tax.
[16:59] That should be considered. I also don't think for them necessarily the full tax amount.
[17:08] Like does that tax go to paying for the pool? So if that tax goes to paying for the pool,
[17:14] then yes, if it doesn't go to paying for the pool, then maybe it's discount.
[17:19] Okay, one in theoretically, so do you know what the portion of tax is that that's paid button?
[17:26] I do not. And I think that's private business.
[17:32] The whole thing is, is that how do we pay for the pool, right? All of this is just about
[17:37] how do we pay for the maintenance of the pool? And then in the pool then out of town.
[17:40] Right, every town has a pool. So for the water thing, yeah. Yeah, wherever you live,
[17:45] doesn't matter where you live, whether it's a pool or whatever, they're all got their own pool,
[17:50] right? And they will pay for their own pool, which is why it's someone out of town
[17:54] wants to come to our pool, then they pay an entry fee.
[17:59] That's how it works, right?
[18:02] So I think it's, I think we need to figure out, like,
[18:05] but I don't think that, I don't think figuring that out.
[18:08] Is not necessarily necessary changes.
[18:12] What we decide on non-resident versus resident.
[18:17] I mean, that can always come with, like,
[18:19] we can offer them a discount or, yes, they,
[18:22] I don't know if it, I don't think it necessarily
[18:24] it has to be tied into the decision.
[18:26] Okay.
[18:27] Well, we could,
[18:30] does anybody have any insight on this,
[18:33] even Alicia?
[18:35] Even Alicia.
[18:35] Do you have any insight on how that would be treated?
[18:41] No.
[18:42] I don't have insight,
[18:44] but I'm my feeling.
[18:48] What's that?
[18:49] I said,
[18:49] do you have an opinion?
[18:51] I do have an opinion.
[18:52] I feel like, you know,
[18:53] residents pay wildly different levels of, you know, property taxes. And I, I don't know, I, I, I, I, I, if somebody pays taxes in in falls village were such a small town and there's so few businesses on top of the residents that I, I think we might be overthinking this.
[19:20] And I would just consider business owners also eligible as residents is my opinion.
[19:29] But yeah, I'm open for other improvements.
[19:32] I think I would agree with Dan there and also incentivizes businesses and falls villagers
[19:37] one of the perks if you're paying, you know, business tax or real estate tax to the count of falls village.
[19:42] You should be in some incentive from the recognition at least or from the count to say,
[19:46] Okay, hey, we'll consider you a resident to utilize our pool facilities.
[19:54] Okay.
[19:54] All right, so if you own a business.
[19:57] So, well, that's basically all the businesses on the Main Street.
[20:00] Which?
[20:02] Yeah.
[20:04] Because then we're defining, well, what is that?
[20:06] The business is registered in.
[20:08] Yes, the business pays taxes.
[20:15] And two, if the business pays taxes, if the business is registered in full-spelage.
[20:24] Well, it says tax payers in falls-velage.
[20:29] And maybe we are looking at this too closely, but we don't have a lot of businesses in falls-velage anyways.
[20:36] I don't know how many businesses are registered, but I agree with you, Dan, I think, you know, yeah, it's a great incentive, but I think it's specifically for people who for businesses that are set up on the mainstream to attract more people.
[20:56] Right. Right. But rather than I just kind of work out of the librarians thing, nobody owns a library and no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're just taking something and 100, I mean whoever the owner is of the pillow place, whoever owns that, I don't know if they're residents, but if they live in New York, most likely things.
[21:23] it's two places where it's literally two places that we're talking about, but I don't know
[21:32] who asked the question, it was brought to me by Nikki. Nikki was somebody who said last year
[21:39] that there were a couple business owners that came to her and asked because they owned the business
[21:48] did they get a resident rent?
[21:55] So, and we pay taxes to falls village,
[21:58] but they live outside of falls village,
[22:01] and pay their home taxes,
[22:05] but so they're paying in both places.
[22:07] There's some, the life guards have,
[22:10] what is it that the life guards have to reference when people come?
[22:14] They get a grand list.
[22:17] So they get a list from a brand list from the town clerk and it's all of the tax payers that
[22:30] Or on the list.
[22:34] So then Dan, I guess what you're pointing to is that those people would need to apply to be on the list.
[22:42] They're already on the list. If they say transness on us, but if the business is here, they're already on the grand list. So then why we have in the discussion?
[22:53] because they weren't allowed in the past and somebody brought it up to Nicky and
[22:58] Nicky brought it up to me, so I'm bringing it to the table.
[23:04] But it is part of the definition of what makes a resident, which does affect the fees.
[23:11] Maybe it's only one business, who knows.
[23:15] But maybe if we have a clarifying, we can table the definition of what a resident is
[23:21] when it pertains to businesses. Yeah. Maybe that's the better way to go. Right now. Yeah,
[23:28] might be nice to find out why we're in the situation. I know somebody asked. That's the only
[23:35] reason we're in the situation that we're in. But I don't understand if they're already on the list.
[23:41] Why would they not be in? I don't know. Might have been an error. And it could have been an error. Maybe
[23:45] they just moved to the town who knows. Right. What I mean, they might have volunteered
[23:51] if they don't live here, but they have a business here, whoever lives. And the lifeguard at
[23:56] the table said, are you on? You know, it's okay.
[24:03] Anyways, so maybe what we'll do, maybe we don't have to
[24:15] is a situation or I will ask what the other people that actually make a decision for who goes
[24:28] on the grand list and who doesn't, we can always refine or revise in our next meeting.
[24:36] That's like a simple solution.
[24:38] Okay.
[24:39] All right.
[24:39] So we're done with what a resident is. We're going to basically go with this definition
[24:46] as who a resident is and who a resident is not. So let's move on to the fees.
[24:53] So the day pass currently $10.
[24:59] Is there any discussion on the $10 day fee for non-residents?
[25:13] Okay, is there any questions?
[25:15] That's what I was last year, correct?
[25:19] A $10 is last year.
[25:21] I'm sorry.
[25:22] I'm sorry.
[25:23] Is there any discussion to change it?
[25:34] I mean, we discussed that the last meeting to raise it.
[25:39] But we didn't quite land on anything.
[25:41] we always do that and
[25:47] we think we're across the board that we felt that because the price of everything
[25:52] has gone out including our own taxes and everything that we have to purchase in order to keep the
[26:00] pool running has gone out that we should increase those fees but we didn't necessarily land on what
[26:07] should be followed by discussion, you know, we also have to navigate the fewings of
[26:21] part the residents are feeling that it should only be for residents and the half the
[26:25] residents are feeling that we should be able to create an income from others that want to
[26:31] in the pool that pay a season for us for a day plus. So has anyone so any more or have an opinion
[26:42] as to what that fee should be?
[26:51] It makes perfect sense to raise it. I knew I do know that when
[26:55] we talked about raising it for the last time from $5 to $10, I think it was Nicky voice to concern
[27:02] that there were some, but a few people that would not have been able to,
[27:09] quit. I personally know that a day pass is easier for me to manage than a family pass
[27:17] than those higher than $300, because I can't afford that. So it's a good thing that I don't
[27:23] that I do live in falls village. But that is just one person. So I think person full
[27:31] For the day pass, I don't necessarily have an issue of going up for a day pass.
[27:39] So here's a question. Do we rely on the income from non-residents?
[27:47] Because I think our first responsibility is to the town, right?
[27:53] Which doesn't bring any money in?
[27:56] So the first responsibility is to the town to make sure that in our seemingly current state of distress, financial distress,
[28:08] that we have to maintain the pool in a way that everyone can enjoy it.
[28:21] So, you know, it's, what is that balance between keeping residents happy, keeping the
[28:28] poor maintained, and a reasonable access to outside?
[28:34] You know, I think we have to be cautious about saying, well, no one's going to be able
[28:39] to afford it, or, you know, it's like we just have to, we have to know where, where particularly
[28:46] our responsibilities lie. So obviously we want a nice balance and, you know, yeah, 300,
[28:56] 300, like behind for you, but also you're already playing. And I think, you know, every town
[29:06] has, does this in their own way, right? So it's not like people don't have a place for swim.
[29:13] This is, you know, you're paying something else.
[29:22] But I would like to hear, I mean, I'd like to hear these.
[29:26] I'd be glad.
[29:27] Think about, yeah, speak about what are people, what do people think?
[29:33] We all know what our situation, what our financial situation is.
[29:37] We all want to be able to be able to, we want everyone to, we want the residents to enjoy it.
[29:44] other people to enjoy. My needs come our fees. What is everyone's opinion?
[29:48] I think it should go up. It's sort of work at you all. Are we going to, we're first
[29:53] we're going to talk about day passes, right? Because it's the smallest thing on the list.
[29:59] We, we want to,
[30:00] Raise everything, or maybe just the day pass, I'd be in favor of raising the day pass, the possibly keeping
[30:06] the season pass the same. If we're raising the day pass, maybe from 10 to 15 dollars, that's 10%
[30:12] of a season pass for an individual. Maybe trying to push, maybe some non-residents to purchase
[30:18] those season passes and post to those day passes.
[30:25] Yeah, well, I mean, the seat and passes didn't
[30:28] work from last year either, right? And I think, yeah, I hear you, like, so we also spoke about,
[30:41] well, if you can, if you particularly, we're going to try and figure out like the busy season,
[30:49] I mean we're going to offer, there was discussion about offering a, like, maybe you stick with a current
[30:56] but restricted to more popular talents, or less popular times,
[31:06] to make it a little bit more
[31:08] affordable and less impact on residents. Is that just too complicated?
[31:26] I think it's
[31:27] I'm going to do if I can find this on the drive somewhere.
[31:33] I wish that you know what other places charge for entry.
[31:38] Yeah, the late full town row was 15 dollars per person per day.
[31:42] Do you think I have a season post?
[31:44] Yes, they do.
[31:46] Last I knew I think a non-resident was like 450 and a resident was 50.
[31:51] That could have gone up.
[31:54] Because they charge, wait a minute, say that again.
[31:58] for a day for a day pass 15 dollars per person per day and then a non-resident
[32:08] seasons pass was for 50 and a resident season pass is 50 but that could have gone out.
[32:19] So they have a lot more stuff.
[32:23] They've got a lot of stuff, so that might make sense why they charge their residents, extra in comparison, so Nicky, so that's the full season, right?
[32:39] So is that for like individual or family?
[32:41] This, yeah, so it's just a family, so it could be an individual, non-resident or it can be a family of six, not a resident family.
[32:52] Yeah, so the, and then it has the same perks, like if you have a season pass, you're welcome to four guests every day.
[32:59] So if I'm a non-resident for the Lake Fulltown Grove, I have a non-resident pass. I can bring four of you with me to the lake for free as a perk.
[33:08] Um, I, I, I almost like I'm just throwing this out there, keeping that day pass at $10 and
[33:17] considering raising the season pass, um, rates.
[33:23] I don't exactly know to what, but I do kind of like Katherine's idea of keeping those non-residents
[33:30] passes like Monday through Thursday or Monday through Friday and explode the weekend.
[33:35] So the residents do have that time to enjoy the pool to themselves, but again, I mean,
[33:42] I don't know what the town exactly wants.
[33:45] I know that it's like 50, 50, right?
[33:46] You want to charge it.
[33:47] You don't want to charge it.
[33:47] You'll see that, but that's just kind of my perspective.
[33:53] Turing to find.
[33:56] Yeah.
[33:58] Turing to find.
[33:59] Turing to find.
[33:59] Turing to find.
[34:00] Turing to find.
[34:01] Turing to find.
[34:02] Turing to find.
[34:05] Turing to find.
[34:05] Turing to find.
[34:06] and gone up into years, at least, into years,
[34:10] and expenses have gone out, and people's salaries
[34:15] have gone up, and everything's gone up.
[34:22] And if we want to be on the cautious side,
[34:25] I'd be like maybe $25 for the individual rate
[34:29] and $50 for the family rate.
[34:35] And it's for the full season.
[34:37] It's like, oh, like, whatever you want. And it's still a hundred dollars less than somewhere else.
[34:46] I was tripped. I thought I knew. But I know that Nikki had sent a whole bunch of information to me.
[34:53] And I was trying for you how many non-residents we have. But also this is just just to reiterate,
[35:01] This is a second option to go swim somewhere because you already have an option to swim in your town, water facility, so it's not like we're restricting people from going to the water.
[35:15] This is a second option that you can come whenever you want to the pool.
[35:23] So even if if for some reason that's a real haunt strip I like everything right now
[35:28] It's really a house stretch for everybody. I think so it's like, like, oh
[35:36] It's a tough call
[35:39] No, it's not a charity. It's a a thing that you
[35:44] Do you have like a payment option like in two chunks two payments?
[35:49] Well, it has not been done that way before.
[35:55] I don't know how you managed that.
[35:56] It's collected up.
[35:58] Well, when you get your pass,
[36:03] or your little whatever it's called,
[36:06] you pay Nikki or the lifeguard as, you know,
[36:11] if you come after she gives out passes,
[36:17] In the past, there was a day that everybody came and it made it a lot easier and then the pool opened.
[36:25] But if it was after that first day that the pool opened residents or non residents who never came and got their passes then.
[36:34] And the lifeguards would then, you know, do what they ever had whatever they had to do.
[36:40] Yeah, this is a question because I'm not familiar with how this works. Are the passes numbered and like
[36:47] Yes, like you're fine. It's number 21 and my family gets 26 or whatever. Okay, oops
[36:54] And
[36:55] There it will we may have to order more of them, but
[37:00] Whether you're resident or non-resident you get a tag and I do see Dan over there
[37:10] I was trying to find that. It's in the drive somewhere. And yes, people.
[37:27] I thought I
[37:30] On the lower end, a lot more people did the came for a day, because it was only five bucks.
[37:41] I think what we're trying to do is steer more people towards buying season passes.
[37:48] So I tend to agree with what Matt said before of raising the day passes.
[37:55] But then I would opt for keeping the season rate the same because so few people already buy them.
[38:04] So if you really want to come, that's your option.
[38:07] But we don't want to price people out and then we're then we're not getting any income from, you know, past.
[38:18] Because people aren't from passes, I think we could sort of use this as a strategy to push more people towards buying season passes.
[38:31] Do I have to re-define that?
[38:34] Yeah, I mean, I think one of the general consensus is, how do we manage the admin, the payment?
[38:49] So in the past there is there's a form somewhere that I haven't updated yet, but there is a form that the end of the pool stuff folder and it's like there's an application that the non resident fills out and there's like a little thing on the bottom of it.
[39:17] that says money received and then the money goes in a bank, but even for a day loss.
[39:25] So it's all the same type of thing. The cash goes into an envelope and it's all
[39:33] there's deposits. There's one person ahead of a pool god and they take.
[39:38] Yeah, so in the under there, there are one, there's usually depending on the number of people
[39:47] that are physically in the pool.
[39:50] There are one.
[39:51] There's at least two life guards on deck.
[39:56] And then the other life guards,
[39:58] whoever Nikki puts on duty are in underneath the thing.
[40:04] And they're the ones who greet the person,
[40:08] check the person in.
[40:09] And if they're paying for the day,
[40:12] then that lifeguard collects the cash
[40:15] and puts it wherever.
[40:16] and at the end of the day they do a total of the cash and then it's deposited, but I don't know
[40:26] because that was something I never had to do, but it does get deposited at the end of every day
[40:32] is my understanding, but it's calculated and that way they know how much they receive each day.
[40:41] And they log it, I believe, on a piece of paper for now because that's all that they have out there.
[40:51] So, and then it probably then gets because I know that I received an email because Nikki was able to give me the number of people at some point that came in at what time which month, you know,
[41:06] She gave me a monthly total that said to so many people came in August or whatever.
[41:14] Yes.
[41:14] I'm just happy.
[41:16] Okay.
[41:17] Good.
[41:17] I'm glad I wasn't losing my mind.
[41:20] But this is August 2025.
[41:26] So this is the breakdown.
[41:28] Total visitors month of July 1 through July 31st, 2025.
[41:34] 1,839, 1,382 residents, 87 disease and passholder visitors, 287 non-residents, and 83 under the age of five.
[41:52] I'll just throw. Yes. So that was looking at this. Did you do special guests?
[42:03] And then in the month of August there was 312 people who visited 237 residents,
[42:25] 17
[42:25] don't really know, I don't, does that mean that there are 87
[42:31] past, well, 87 non-resident season passes sold last year,
[42:39] or more,
[42:40] maybe I guess. It could be that there were more. Well, it says,
[42:47] however many non-pass, no, non-residence came me down during a specific time.
[42:54] It doesn't mean necessarily that they purchased it in that month.
[43:00] Also, I know that sometimes people at the end of a season will buy a season pass for the next year.
[43:12] There's nothing that stops you from buying a season pass on the last day.
[43:17] And you can then people were then able to use it the next season.
[43:26] And so if somebody came in on the last day and said, I want to bypass for next season,
[43:33] there was nothing that said that they could do that.
[43:36] Okay, I don't think that.
[43:38] So maybe that changes or maybe it doesn't, but it also doesn't preclude anybody
[43:44] from buying it on August 1st.
[43:48] So when you say, for the season, it's for the season 2026.
[43:54] It's what you're purchasing.
[43:56] And if you buy it two days before the season 2026 ends, then then we do need to make a clarification somehow.
[44:08] So that a season pass, but at the very end of the season,
[44:13] cannot be used for the following season.
[44:17] We just have to make that a policy, because it wasn't one before.
[44:21] I think that's something.
[44:24] So, and I do know that we do give people who have a pass that are non-residents,
[44:32] a discounted rate for swim lessons,
[44:35] they then get to pay a resident fee instead of a non-resident fee.
[44:44] So there are advantages to having a season pass if you're going to have your kids do a swim lesson or whatever.
[44:55] In that respect, that's all I'm saying.
[44:58] So.
[45:02] So, I think we can make a clarification.
[45:06] Through the policy for that, non-residencies in the past individual rape is for the season. It's not for the entire year.
[45:16] Okay, for persons in school. Currencies in, oops.
[45:23] Currencies in only.
[45:24] And the print version should change from year to year so that they're not mistaken.
[45:30] So whatever we're printing this year, it's not look like last year's the
[45:38] Pass should not look like last year's or this
[45:43] The pass
[45:45] Okay, then we have to buy a lot of passes because then it doesn't make sense right because because
[45:52] Because the last year's season was like can we just print it off on a piece of paper and eliminate it and
[45:58] We have to purchase like actual legitimate passes or can we save money and just do printable.
[46:05] We could.
[46:06] I do not know if we have any, well, I have my leftover tags for last year.
[46:13] So there is a current list of all of the past holders with their numbers.
[46:26] So, if they kept their passes like I did, then they had it.
[46:35] I don't know if there's any spare passes in the pool house office.
[46:46] There might be, I don't know.
[46:48] Or, I'm sorry my phone died if you lose me. That's from Dan. Okay, so I think we
[46:58] didn't I don't know if we necessarily have to look at it. I mean, do we have to look at it today? No, we do not.
[47:05] But printing them out or having a pass. My just car insurance is on a printed piece of paper that goes in the mail and it's up to me to make sure
[47:17] that I look after and I piece of paper for true orange or orange or orange and if I want to
[47:22] eliminate it because I want to use it all the time then I eliminate it like I don't see why
[47:27] you know so I mean all we can find the sleeve or something like that I mean if you look at the
[47:32] cost options I think what we usually do and what we do now and see what plays or but definitely
[47:39] season part in my opinion if you're buying at 2026 season plus it must not look like 2025 season
[47:50] And that is a pretty much a day and day passes are definitely just printed with this is they were not given a specific page had they just paid the cash when they walked in the gate and that's it. So it was just basically the lifeguard I'm assuming saying that Joshua came in today.
[48:15] non-resident five bucks collected. And that was that because we want to make it easy for them too
[48:23] because they're switching in and out. Yeah. And it makes it easier for them as well.
[48:30] Yeah, it might be nice if we give a receipt book or something like that.
[48:33] Okay, I think. I think you are right and we can double check. I don't know if I saw a
[48:40] I think they should be like a transaction like, is it to get both of one to ten or one to one hundred?
[48:47] You've given out ten tickets today to people when I walked in and paid you ten dollars or fifteen dollars.
[48:53] And your ticket book is now less fifteen because fifteen people came through.
[48:58] I think there needs to be some like.
[48:59] going
[49:04] to sell process with the transaction, with the piece of paper.
[49:07] I've been administration tracking.
[49:11] I like that idea.
[49:14] What?
[49:15] I like it.
[49:16] Okay.
[49:17] I mean, we can have a different book for, you know,
[49:20] well, residents don't have to pay anyway,
[49:23] but I mean, for residents,
[49:24] we can have a laminated whatever,
[49:28] because, and then we can just check,
[49:29] is this person still resident this year or whatever,
[49:32] right, but then you're a resident, you're always coming in, you don't have to change that out.
[49:38] But season pauses of something that changes and requires payment.
[49:41] Okay, so the season pass has to physically change every year as well as we need ticket books for day pauses.
[49:51] Okay.
[49:53] So I'm okay. There you go.
[50:03] For he's the best point of say, okay. All right. So we're still sort of trying to figure this out.
[50:14] We'll be able to set it right.
[50:17] I think a lot of these conversations might be nice to have Nikki involved to discuss current processes and any changes moving forward.
[50:26] like maybe at her next monthly meeting.
[50:29] Yes, she's going to have to be here at the book here somehow for the next meeting. Yes.
[50:39] So, do we want to go up on day passes?
[50:45] Let's start, we just five, ten is already at ten.
[50:50] We're kind of going back and forth on.
[50:54] We haven't figured out a price for season pass.
[50:57] I'm more family pass.
[50:58] I suggest day pass $15.
[51:01] Okay, we'll do that right now.
[51:03] Just I'm writing it down.
[51:04] What does anybody else think?
[51:06] Does anybody else have a...
[51:08] Does anybody else say no to $15?
[51:12] And if so, what's the reason?
[51:14] Because that way we can move it around.
[51:16] I agree.
[51:18] Okay.
[51:20] I agree.
[51:20] So we're going to do this all as one single motion though, so that okay, because then we can
[51:26] fumble through the rest of this. Okay, so individual season pass for non-resident last year and the year before was
[51:37] 150
[51:42] All right
[51:44] So
[51:45] What are we saying other than
[51:47] It's the whole season no matter when you buy
[51:52] It's going to be for a single person, non-resident, do we go up from 150?
[52:06] I think.
[52:08] I would say something, even if it's like, non-discriminate, even if it's like five bucks of something.
[52:15] I would say anything.
[52:16] We do not put the 160.
[52:18] The movement.
[52:19] I would be happy with 160.
[52:21] What's their EU?
[52:24] Yes.
[52:25] I would agree to that.
[52:26] Something I got, 160.
[52:30] Okay. Done? Well, Dan is no longer here. He skipped out. Because he said, sorry, but don't wait one new, one new. Oh, sorry folks, my phone will die soon. Okay. And if you lose me, until I get this five in the apiary, you just got to get to high in the apiary. Okay. Thank you. Because I was like, what? Yeah.
[53:01] I mean, is an apiary, a place where you're put birds, bees, bees, you're taking apiary.
[53:10] A apiary.
[53:13] Oh, that's what I'm going to say.
[53:15] No, it says, api.
[53:17] Thank you for, but anyways, he said, when he gets back in, it does go long back in.
[53:22] All right.
[53:23] The, all right.
[53:25] So if I'm always saying 160,
[53:28] 16.
[53:30] Okay, so the family pass,
[53:34] And now let's say 20 is 300, so I'd say 320,
[53:45] 320, okay, because you're going to work wait a minute you went 10 you went 10 on the individual yeah it doesn't make sense to go less than 20 on a family pass because you got two adults and you bring on your kids.
[54:02] Okay. Okay.
[54:12] So, I see you. Why? Because that's the same reason we have 115,300,
[54:17] because it's two adults. But it's 160, then it's 320.
[54:22] You, 320 is the math. Any, any, any, any, it's not back here.
[54:32] That's my mind. But everyone say that piece.
[54:38] 320. Matt, what say yee? Are you okay with? Oh, I am, I am unmuted. Okay, yeah, 320. I was, I think in this
[54:49] thing. Okay. I think it's a respectable, like jump. I mean it's 10 bucks 20 dollars. Like it's
[54:58] a huge increase that families are going to be deterred from that number.
[55:04] Okay.
[55:05] So, what is?
[55:07] Now, Nikki and I were going back and forth on the pool party package.
[55:17] The pool party and she's actually going to put together a real package
[55:22] because she was doing a bunch of things out of her own pocket
[55:26] for, sorry, but she was, for the birthday parties.
[55:35] It's what basically at the pool itself is it allows the party people to come in and use the
[55:47] Pervila, it's reserved to them for the entire time, which I believe is a two to our party.
[56:01] And she would provide the birthday person with a shirt that said something about their birthday and they were the birthday person.
[56:13] She may have picked something specific, you know, some cool thing. I'm not a hundred percent sure, but she provided them with a shirt and then they brought in
[56:25] Food or whatever they wanted to for the party itself, but she found that when the adults came in it was
[56:39] What do I do? You know, there were more extras and all of that in no places for the adults to sit or hang out.
[56:48] So what is this pool package?
[56:51] The pool pool basically we started having pool parties at the pool.
[56:56] So people pay to have both of this.
[56:58] Yes.
[56:58] Whether they're a resident or not.
[57:01] So there's a pool.
[57:03] There is a fee to have a party of people and they get to use the purgola essentially and then they get a shirt from niggie
[57:17] And if there were any more details, I'm not 100% sure. She was putting something together to tell me. It was
[57:27] 200
[57:28] for how many what's happening there was not there was not a how many as far as I know it was not
[57:35] limited to a certain number of people and guessing it was limited to the amount of people that fit in
[57:43] But I think that we should...
[57:51] I think that's inside the little time.
[57:56] It doesn't take away from the cattle shade thing that we have at the end.
[58:02] So there is still shame there.
[58:06] But she was putting together an official package that she wanted to present for this year.
[58:14] So, we don't necessarily have to vote on a pool party package.
[58:22] I think the more important part is the individual and the day and the family passes.
[58:28] And we, if, if, if I'm looking down at still not here, I think we can table.
[58:37] Yeah, because pool party.
[58:39] I'm not. Yeah, I think there is discussion to be had and also what whoever is managing this.
[58:46] So there's management of the party. There's like, what do we actually offering?
[58:50] How we just offering that they enter and plan the pool? How we offering, like,
[58:55] I think we need to understand all of that and then knowing and understanding that,
[59:00] then we'll be able to put a cost and an implication to it because it's not just
[59:09] come and have a pool party, we have to let the residents know that there's going to be a pool party.
[59:14] And generally there are, to be able to create such life groups.
[59:18] We have to advertise, we have to pay for the life costs to come, we have to.
[59:22] So there's planning, and then I think even with that, there needs to be like,
[59:26] you have to give us, you know, you have to plan your pool party a month before or two weeks before,
[59:32] or like we need to decide how much notice people need in order to,
[59:38] because they might be having their friends up for the weekend and they want to take their friends for a swim because it's a whole set today.
[59:47] And then suddenly there's like, oh my god, why are they like 20 kids here? And I get it, right?
[59:53] But then public pool. Because it's a public pool, but if it is using to that, then it's a party, then it's just...
[1:00:00] The specific event, that we know that we're charging for, that we're charging for an event.
[1:00:10] I'm going to say to everybody now, if I'm in an apartment in Manhattan, and I'm going to have a party, I'm going to let my neighbors know I'm having a party, but I'm in trouble.
[1:00:21] Okay, so I'm sending me to your text now so I don't forget to please send a birthday party package or pool party package.
[1:00:34] Yeah, so I understand that certainly kids are pretty sure that what I have at birthdays and places.
[1:00:43] And I think, you know, what is the impact of that? How many people? How many? Is that something that is going to be just for residents? Or is that something that we're offering to anybody?
[1:00:56] We offer it as far as I know it's been offered in the past two anybody wants to have a party. Just like if we have the pavilion
[1:01:05] They don't have to be a resident to use it for a party. It doesn't exist yet, but they don't have to you
[1:01:12] They don't have to be a resident or a non-resident to use it. Do we have a different fee potentially?
[1:01:21] Yeah, I think that did examine how many people should it's going to do you. I think that should do.
[1:01:30] Yeah, rates based on population for each of them.
[1:01:34] Yes, because are we putting up tables for that?
[1:01:36] We don't have any tables or are they going to bring tables to?
[1:01:40] Well, as of right now, that was one thing that she had asked for because in the past, they used the tables that were outside
[1:01:49] Yeah, that are already provided. And honestly, nobody uses them.
[1:01:55] Yeah, so she may do with what was there.
[1:02:01] Yeah, I'm not saying that none of us should happen.
[1:02:07] I'm saying it seems very ambiguous.
[1:02:11] And when things are public and it involves lots of people,
[1:02:14] and the security is not.
[1:02:17] And that could be because I'm talking about it and not Niki.
[1:02:22] So Niki pretending the next meeting to clarify the discussion about full party package.
[1:02:33] And that kind of thing makes sense.
[1:02:36] Maybe, yeah, I mean, we're going to have to put it in a 90 anyway because people need to know about it.
[1:02:41] in this happening, so maybe we can read it in writing for you.
[1:02:49] Please send a full party package, how many thieves and how we...
[1:02:52] I'm maybe a special meeting because I don't know.
[1:02:54] Jail with it, yeah.
[1:02:58] With all stock in general.
[1:03:01] Okay,
[1:03:04] stuff.
[1:03:05] All right, so I think we should table the full party package part.
[1:03:11] Okay.
[1:03:13] All right, so this is what we're going to do.
[1:03:18] Somebody needs to make a motion to do all of these things with the $15.
[1:03:26] This is $160 and the $3.20.
[1:03:28] So let me just let the rates, we're just talking about the rates.
[1:03:33] Okay, let's go ahead.
[1:03:35] Matt makes a motion to move forward with the rates.
[1:03:40] as discussed tonight, including non-resident day pass fees of raising it to $15 per person,
[1:03:47] non-resident season pass for an individual fee raising that up to $160, and a non-resident
[1:03:54] season pass for a family raising that up to $320.
[1:03:59] Okay.
[1:04:01] Do I have a second?
[1:04:03] Second.
[1:04:04] Second.
[1:04:05] And wait a minute, let me make sure they're still for us because Dan has not got that gone.
[1:04:10] So, Catherine 2nds, all right, while those in favour of approving the aforementioned
[1:04:26] non-resident rates for 2026 pool season, say aye.
[1:04:32] Fences on.
[1:04:33] Conquestes on.
[1:04:34] Courses on.
[1:04:34] Courses says I.
[1:04:37] Mats as I.
[1:04:39] All right.
[1:04:39] Motion carries.
[1:04:42] And this will also be forwarded to the, or the selectance so that they are a caravant
[1:04:49] and it will also need to go online when we can put it online.
[1:04:59] I would like to kind of clarify, yeah, they can go online at any time because I don't think
[1:05:09] it mentions in this notification the actual date that the pool opens because there's always
[1:05:15] that chance that it won't open on that day so I don't, I know I say that but it's happened
[1:05:21] so many times,
[1:05:26] that the tentative date is still tentative until it's really the actual.
[1:05:31] And that generally happens after the pool gets blessed by torrenton area health.
[1:05:40] Motion carries.
[1:05:41] All right, so the next part is pertaining to
[1:05:50] possible action to approve expenditures for the summer programs.
[1:05:56] And now this is line a count number 4001-213.
[1:06:06] Now, these are the programs and expenses that we need to spend this year, this fiscal year,
[1:06:20] and not after January 1st. I mean July 1st, good God, because our account is going down a lot.
[1:06:33] And we do have a lot to pay, or to spend for 2026.
[1:06:42] So the U.S. playground fell down.
[1:06:46] That doesn't go in there.
[1:06:48] Because that is the mulch.
[1:06:51] Creep on three.
[1:06:51] The mulch doesn't buy away.
[1:06:53] So you've got a 12 foot parachute.
[1:06:56] These are things that Alicia.
[1:07:00] She is here.
[1:07:01] or at least show you here.
[1:07:02] Yep.
[1:07:03] Okay, good.
[1:07:04] Cause I didn't see your picture.
[1:07:05] I just saw you move like this.
[1:07:09] So these are just items that I pulled together.
[1:07:12] I actually found a parachute in my basement.
[1:07:14] That was brand new and in the box.
[1:07:15] So we can cross that off.
[1:07:18] No, but it's like,
[1:07:20] no, no, say I'm not to cross it off.
[1:07:23] I'm just what are we gonna do with a parachute?
[1:07:25] So I was thinking like water balloons,
[1:07:28] things like that if we are
[1:07:31] Sorry.
[1:07:34] What I might get to say was, are you thinking of a parachute jumping out of a helicopter airplane kind of thing? No, it's not like that.
[1:07:42] But Alicia, maybe you could explain what the parachute idea is.
[1:07:48] Sure, it's just a big circular piece of material and there's handles on it and kids hold on to it and then whip it up and down.
[1:07:56] and you can put beach balls on there,
[1:07:58] you can put water balloons on there
[1:07:59] and they'll just fly up and down,
[1:08:01] water balloons will bunk kids in the head
[1:08:03] and splash it, it'll be fun.
[1:08:06] But this is something that we can also have like indoors.
[1:08:09] So like on the box day, maybe we can do beach balls
[1:08:11] inside at the center on main or in the winter,
[1:08:14] we can have some kind of fun day inside,
[1:08:18] beat the snow and come inside and play games with us
[1:08:21] at the center on main.
[1:08:23] So that's something we could use throughout the year.
[1:08:26] year. But I was hoping I don't know what was done in the past and what the Emily did for programs.
[1:08:35] But I was hoping to hold one weekly session whether it was like a sports event, like a soccer
[1:08:42] or drills or it was a craft or some kind of obstacle course or really races once a week at the
[1:08:50] pool. Because that's where our kids are. I'm not sure if that was done in the past.
[1:08:56] but I would like to use these items to hold a weekly session at the pool.
[1:09:04] Jessica. Well, I can tell you that there were programs that that
[1:09:16] in the pool, like one of them was volleyball. So there were things, a book, a book share is waiting
[1:09:23] to be, oh, Dan is waiting to be entered. He's using his other phone. Um, yeah, that sounds like fun.
[1:09:32] Because we want to, we want to have activities. We want people to come. Right. I want to. The reason
[1:09:38] why, hello Dan, there is such a difference in the programming, was the previous summer,
[1:09:56] there was a creative kids club that happened. So all of the things that are down in our
[1:10:05] basement or the town hall basement that says creative kids club. Those are all the supplies
[1:10:11] and things like that that were purchased. We don't have that this year hence lack of spending
[1:10:19] for this year because it didn't happen. So we have a lot of money spent. So so this is good stuff
[1:10:32] to stop up on because it can be used not just at the pool,
[1:10:35] but also at the sea for other seasons,
[1:10:37] which is that sense for other programs.
[1:10:40] Yeah.
[1:10:41] I also, it wasn't on the list that you printed up Melissa,
[1:10:46] but I was looking at the giant connect four boards,
[1:10:51] that's something that we can sell side.
[1:10:53] It could be kept at the pool.
[1:10:54] It could be brought to the center on Maine.
[1:10:56] It can be, you know, it's not too big, too small.
[1:10:59] And I think that that would be a fun addition
[1:11:00] to have at the pool, maybe the little kids can play with it and it was $119.99. It's on my
[1:11:09] Google Doc I added it, but I don't know I just thought that was something a fun outdoor activity
[1:11:15] for the pool. Yeah, I think it is too. So, and I believe, now I don't know, she has the mobile
[1:11:30] The boss with the books, if you don't want to forget what it was called, it's a mobile
[1:11:37] boss.
[1:11:39] It wasn't there, it didn't come in the false festival.
[1:11:42] It probably came in the fall festival, but it also has come to the pool as well.
[1:11:49] Um, and now I do know that when he was books, he is a book, both Emily and our book store owners.
[1:12:02] Um, but this was something different and it was like a box that came and they, I don't know if there was a cost related to it or if it was just a donation of time.
[1:12:15] So I don't know, but that is something that's a good program, but I don't know if it has cost
[1:12:22] So
[1:12:23] What else did I there was something else that I didn't even print it. I printed it to ever everybody, but I didn't copy it myself figures
[1:12:35] so
[1:12:36] Is there anything else that changes the price
[1:12:42] Alicia
[1:12:44] No, I mean, I don't know how you feel about the tidying and I guess I would have to talk to Niki more about like maybe narrowing down a number of how many shirts would be appropriate for that.
[1:12:57] And then the moisture, I don't know, and then I'm also, I know Melissa, I'm going to see you getting our logo printed and ironed on those shirts before they tie dye them. So then we have some advertisement kids were them, you know, to the fair or they wear them here, you know, just to get our name out there falls below direct. I don't know, this is an idea.
[1:13:23] I think that's a great expense to add to it's advertising as well as going under programming and if you do it as a tie die it's a tie die day program
[1:13:34] So I think it's worth it as long as it fits underneath that category because we did have a lot of
[1:13:44] There's I mean yes you go to the pool to swim, but there's also other things that you can do it the pool we do have
[1:13:52] the library coming, and they have pages and popsicles where they lie, whatnot, they read at the pool.
[1:14:02] I forget what day they would be doing it, but I'm a thing then the only thing we have is an
[1:14:08] expense of popsicles. Yeah, maybe we can also put a placeholder on in this list for, like,
[1:14:20] that transaction is. So when we're saying we want to have, like, I think we can maybe add
[1:14:30] those expense into the list. So we just have to think about, like, like, how to turn
[1:14:38] registration day into a program? Because that would be a program. Yes. Well, I mean, the program,
[1:14:48] the program itself or it could fit under pull equipment supplies now because it's
[1:14:58] equipment and supplies but
[1:15:00] Those, I mean, it could fit under maybe. Could we do any kind of advertising for some of the program?
[1:15:09] Do we know? No, I'm not. It has to fit the specific category. Advertising is not a supply or an equipment.
[1:15:22] I don't know about.
[1:15:24] So, if you have to print a flyer for the summer program.
[1:15:29] everything is pretty much online and the other ones that like I print out and put it
[1:15:35] the dump or whatever it is a donation of me that I don't worry about and I don't
[1:15:44] ask for reimbursement just because I'm not going to turn your person for her piece of paper.
[1:15:50] So on this action, on this action I am real quick just to clarify are we voting on the $283
[1:15:56] and 62 cents. Well, that was what was left. That seems what was charged. Yeah, that seems like
[1:16:05] what was charged. What's left is 2,174 dollars and 38 cents in 2,32. Yep. So we have a lot of money left
[1:16:16] over. Yeah, that's the law of user lose before July 1st. Yes.
[1:16:24] So the more we can fit in there to purchase
[1:16:26] the better. So I'm happy to approve what we've done now, and then just keep trying to add more.
[1:16:36] I think the next rule is that it should really make the priorities,
[1:16:39] not to send that line, or come to the meeting with ideas and prices.
[1:16:46] I mean, yeah, I mean, I have an inquiry out to the music lab. It's in Canaan, and they've done
[1:16:52] karaoke night at the Canaan, the Canaan events. I don't know if there's a fee, but for our
[1:17:00] pool party, I was hoping to have them attend and offer like karaoke night for the kids.
[1:17:07] I don't know. I'm waiting. I emailed them this morning. I haven't heard back.
[1:17:11] And then I was also looking at a food truck for our pool party night to kick off summer.
[1:17:18] I just didn't know how it worked in the past, like if we've paid for the food or, you know, the people who are on attendance cover their own food.
[1:17:30] What?
[1:17:30] In, were you going to say something to you?
[1:17:35] Uh, Matt.
[1:17:36] No, I'm just, I'm just, I'm thinking out loud and I didn't mean to interrupt to Lisa there.
[1:17:42] One thing I did find out today at work because we do an ice cream truck every once in a while.
[1:17:53] Whenever we actually have a fire drill but the ice cream man does come to falls village.
[1:18:02] His name is Peter something and Nicky knows who he is because he also does PTO stuff.
[1:18:09] But the way he charges, because I asked the company, he charges a specific amount for 40 to 50 people, let's just say.
[1:18:22] And the company pays for whatever that amount is, even if 50 people don't show up.
[1:18:30] You know, you give a range and then the rep commission would pay the cost for that.
[1:18:36] And then they also then give him a cash tip.
[1:18:40] Um, that's how work does it.
[1:18:43] I don't know how PTO does it if we were to do an ice cream truck, but Niki also has lots
[1:18:53] of contacts in, uh, having to do with food trucks, also, um, Emily knows all the food trucks
[1:19:02] that actually came to the fall festival last year.
[1:19:10] So, you know, we can reach out to,
[1:19:14] or we could look in the fall,
[1:19:17] village, fall festival event,
[1:19:21] and see if there's any truck,
[1:19:25] food trucks, and their contact information there.
[1:19:28] I also reached out to, I don't know if this is a weird thing or not,
[1:19:32] But a hot air balloon company, I don't know,
[1:19:36] just having like a hot air balloon showing.
[1:19:39] I don't even know what you would call it.
[1:19:42] I don't know where we would host that.
[1:19:43] I think that the REC Center might be a little tight
[1:19:45] to host that.
[1:19:46] I don't know if it would have to be like
[1:19:47] at the Huzzi's oval there.
[1:19:51] But I don't know if that's something that I should continue
[1:19:56] to research and get a number on that.
[1:20:00] Are we going to be able, if you were to continue researching, would you think you would be able to get a number and pay for it before June 30th to include it in this current budget?
[1:20:21] Um, I think so. I mean, he's right from Canaan, Darrell Long, I guess. Um, I can give him a call tomorrow and, and talk about pricing and, I mean, he's probably familiar with the area to know if, if who is he's oval as a big enough space or the baseball field, softball fields in the back there and enough space. Um, and then I can, I can maybe send an email to the commission and just with a number and we can go from there.
[1:20:49] Okay, so there was something else that was on the list that isn't included.
[1:20:57] The mulch was one of them, and there was something else.
[1:21:01] Any thoughts towards like a community movie night?
[1:21:04] Oh yes, so we don't have a movie license to show movies, and I personally don't want
[1:21:12] to take the responsibility because I guess it's like a fine and charges.
[1:21:17] I'm not comfortable taking that responsibility. I don't know if anyone else is.
[1:21:23] But yes, I was told. I went to the center of Maine. I had a movie night ready to go. I had the date and everything and then
[1:21:29] It was brought to my attention that I movie licensing was permitted. So fire and in the past
[1:21:42] So, and on top of that, I hate to say this,
[1:21:49] but unless we have a movie night at the
[1:21:53] colonial theater, how much is it to get a license?
[1:21:59] Was it around $500?
[1:22:01] Yeah, I think it was a movie licensing.
[1:22:06] I think it was, yes, between, it can be $300 to $700, depending on, it says annual blanket
[1:22:16] licensing for indoor community and recreation centers, $172 to $700.
[1:22:23] So I don't know what, why it says a wide range, but that could be an expense.
[1:22:30] Something out of the programming, I guess. And I don't know how long that license holds. If it's a year, if it's five years, I can do more research.
[1:22:38] Well, I do think if we're going to do it, we should do it the proper way.
[1:22:44] And I do have to say that most of the movie nights that we had that were in the pool area was adults only because you have to wait until it's dark.
[1:22:58] And so that is like 8.39 o'clock when it's dark, dark.
[1:23:09] They're also really buggy, buggy, buggy, buggy.
[1:23:14] We did have a youth one where it was not in the pool area,
[1:23:19] but it was in the picnic area.
[1:23:23] And we had those teaky torches.
[1:23:26] And it was also using the fire pit there.
[1:23:34] I think it sounds like so much fun even if we can't.
[1:23:38] Like if it's $2,000, even if it's $300, we've got $2,170.
[1:23:44] If we get it for the year, it's probably also based on whether it's a popular,
[1:23:49] like release or it has to be beyond 1980 or something like that.
[1:23:56] And yeah, do you have to get permission from more than one entity to do this?
[1:24:04] It's not too complicated just having the information might be handy because when we put the
[1:24:10] civilian up one of the things that we put on there was a screen for movies.
[1:24:16] Hmm,
[1:24:18] so, so even yeah, I mean, so do the research and then let us know how much it's going to cost to do it, okay, I know, but I guess the library or someone is also applying for one now and I guess they're getting a discount I don't know how, but it was still she said rather expensive even with the discount, but I again, I don't know much about how this whole thing works.
[1:24:47] but I will maybe connect with Meg and see where she's getting her information and how she's applying
[1:24:54] and I will fall asleep. Yeah. Well, even if we bundle it together I get one for the town.
[1:25:04] I suppose just the library and just the recognition. If you don't want for the town. And that
[1:25:09] to be dependent upon, it would have to be under the tap, I think it couldn't be under our individual
[1:25:19] commission. So it would have to be to the falls of the downfall's ledge. Right, but a question
[1:25:25] with Austin, I guess, if we're making the inquiry anyway. Okay. That's a good one to this. So I think
[1:25:35] We don't have all the answers, and we can certainly add more program.
[1:25:43] Also, I do know that some of the programs that we did last year,
[1:25:55] you know, I don't know, like, I think it was volleyball.
[1:26:02] It wasn't well-attended, but we have all of the equipment, so I don't think we need to buy any more equipment for that.
[1:26:11] We don't have a sector, right?
[1:26:14] Well, as far as I know, we do not have a projector.
[1:26:19] I don't know how we showed the movies in the, oh, you know what?
[1:26:23] I remember.
[1:26:23] we showed the movie thumbnail through a using a computer laptop thing. I don't know. Emily is more
[1:26:33] tech than I am. So she probably knows she was the one who put it together. So in the research
[1:26:40] if we figure out that we're able to get a license for not too much money then we can bundle that
[1:26:47] together with a screen that makes sense as things that we can use going forward under this year's project.
[1:26:53] And the screen that we used was a sheet on the pool house itself, if it was inside of the pool.
[1:27:04] And if it was outside, I don't remember. It might have been something borrowed, or something belonging to the fire department.
[1:27:14] So does someone need to make a motion to approve 293?
[1:27:17] Or we just hold off until the next one, but we have to get everything.
[1:27:22] Can we not just approve this for now and make another one for us?
[1:27:25] Yes, what the next ones?
[1:27:27] Okay, so somebody make a motion.
[1:27:29] I make a motion to approve the total amount of $280,
[1:27:33] $260, $2 cents for account charge,
[1:27:36] $4,000, $1,2,1,3,
[1:27:39] court items as listed in the document.
[1:27:45] Okay.
[1:27:47] Second.
[1:27:49] Second.
[1:27:49] Chris gets it. Okay, all those in favor say aye, Catherine says aye.
[1:28:00] What says aye? What says aye? That says aye. Dan says aye.
[1:28:06] Dan says aye. Okay. Those opposed. No. Nobody. Okay. So motion carries.
[1:28:20] No. Nikki had given. And I did not give
[1:28:23] crisis on these. So I think maybe it has to be tabled. But there wasn't
[1:28:29] email that I sent that has all of the things that Mickey says that she
[1:28:35] needed. And things to make sure we knew about. So we've got all this.
[1:28:44] The grand list, blah, blah, blah, falls village owner. There it is. This is
[1:28:48] owners, non-resents. Do they get the falls village resident or non-resident?
[1:28:52] want to happen to require a month ago, a month ago, in conversation. So we're leaving the definition of resident as a taxpayer.
[1:29:05] And we can get further clarification on taxpayer. Yes? That's what it was.
[1:29:15] because it grandlust, so, yes, like, who sets up the grandlust and are they on the grandlust
[1:29:23] and if they're on the grandlust and what's the issue?
[1:29:26] Mm-hmm, as long as they're on the grandlust, then they're considered a resident.
[1:29:30] Okay, well, they're considered accessible, actually.
[1:29:34] Okay, the list is the list.
[1:29:37] Right.
[1:29:38] Okay, so she says she needs chlorine and pH supplies need to be stopped.
[1:29:44] the first aid kits need to be fully stocked lots of bandages because of the cut toes.
[1:29:51] Lifeguard shirts, she normally orders from stadium systems. Now, I did find it in
[1:30:00] That's from last year from stadium systems. Is this the pool equipment supplies?
[1:30:06] Yes, it's the second thing. Okay, the second. Yes, pool equipment slash applies.
[1:30:13] And this is part of the uniform that we supply. We already supplied the whistles. Also sunscreen she had on the list before.
[1:30:29] for the life guards. It was something that was provided, but that's not on this list now.
[1:30:38] So I'm not going to worry about that.
[1:30:42] Swim lessons. We've got that taken care of, trash pick up. I already talked to Tim about that.
[1:30:49] and B's. So we have had problems in the past and we've had someone come. That was
[1:31:00] back in summer of 2024, which is two seasons ago. I'm not really at the pool. So I can't tell
[1:31:11] but we did have a service come. So, what did they do? They did get rid of a big wishy.
[1:31:18] They, they spray, or something, but they, in the past, um, read, um, what's a name.
[1:31:33] Miss Reed for lack of not remembering her first name. She has a company and she did this
[1:31:39] right and it was, none, it was spring and it was okay. Thank you, Tammy Reed. Like,
[1:31:49] Reed, what's her first name? She did spring in the past. I think I don't know if it was a donation
[1:31:55] or not.
[1:31:56] I think I think you're talking about two different things though. I think that's that was
[1:32:00] for text, right? Um, she did this is wasp and bees. I don't know who did it before. I think
[1:32:09] Jim March did for and please stop saying bees because it's not bees, it's it's it's
[1:32:16] it's was it was bald face tornettes and was it was just it wasn't bees it was bald face
[1:32:23] tornettes and there is yellow jackets but Jim March did the treatment for that is listed
[1:32:37] for Tammy Reed was maybe the organic tick control.
[1:32:41] That's what I was thinking of, because it was organic,
[1:32:45] but I did not know what she helped take care of.
[1:32:50] So that being said, it wasn't Tammy.
[1:32:54] She did something, some bug completely different.
[1:32:58] I don't think that Jim Marsh's in business anymore.
[1:33:03] He's retired and there's another company that took over for him, yes, I think that's it.
[1:33:16] But so the question becomes, is this something that has to be done that we need to be prepared for
[1:33:28] happening during the middle of the season just let's just say they're bad and that's what happens.
[1:33:35] I can tell you right now that the partner insects that resemble bumblebees are busy
[1:33:44] and there are yellow jackets on the inside of the windows. I've seen that, you know, and as I get to
[1:33:54] So do we, I don't know anything about this, so this is something that Nicky had mentioned, and it is something that would go into this category.
[1:34:10] Can you, Katherine, look at the, we need to actually look and see how much money.
[1:34:16] the one that let's try this again. Dan, what are your thoughts on the bugs that fly around
[1:34:27] at the pool and cause problems so I don't see the wrong type? Well, I do. I think just setting up
[1:34:36] the wasp traps right now is a great time to set wasp traps, you know, the the
[1:34:45] that that would capture because there's going to be yellow jackets, the queens are all
[1:34:55] what's out right now and they're starting, they're like semi-use social, so that means they'll
[1:35:03] It's just the queen that hatches out in the spring, and then she starts a small colony, so it's a good time now to just set out traps, but there's no way to know how bad of a year it'll be until we get into it, so we may still need to, but think we could save ourselves some trouble now by setting out traps.
[1:35:28] So, do we have to get someone into do that then?
[1:35:32] No, no, no, I mean, we can just buy them at the hardware store and hang them up.
[1:35:36] They're non-toxic traps.
[1:35:39] They're just sticky traps that they go out there.
[1:35:43] They're bait traps, basically.
[1:35:48] So, they're bait traps and you hang them.
[1:35:53] So where would we be hanging them and how would be how would we be hanging them will done would you be able to would you be willing to take charge of sure?
[1:36:04] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm happy to
[1:36:08] Because we do have to get the cleaning person in there as well
[1:36:14] So
[1:36:15] Is it are the Chris is it so bad that somebody can't go in for cleaning or like is there quite a lot
[1:36:26] There's some holes being drilled in the faces, which has happened a lot this area, and I would say at the moment, it's not as far as the other jackets go, I mean they're appearing, is it an infestation? I wouldn't say it at the moment.
[1:36:50] Okay, so, you know, so that's what we're, yeah, I would definitely do.
[1:36:55] For the Carpenter Bees, that I wouldn't worry too much about that because once we put a code of
[1:37:00] lacquer on the on the building, that's going to deter them quite a lot. I don't think they're going to
[1:37:07] yeah, let's see what that what that looks like afterwards, but the Carpenter Bees aren't going
[1:37:12] So I don't think that's a big, I mean, it's, it harms the building, but, uh, and it, but they don't sting.
[1:37:24] Yeah. So, if we pull it traps, do it weird.
[1:37:30] Do they actually, they go on wherever they are flying around?
[1:37:34] Well, yeah, it's a down line. I'll do with it.
[1:37:38] I'll try and pick some up on my way home tomorrow.
[1:37:42] Just make sure you can set them up on me.
[1:37:46] And we can set them up on where they're on Saturday.
[1:37:52] Awesome. So Dan, do you think that even if we have traps we need to sort of book someone to come
[1:37:59] at a later date or just see how it goes.
[1:38:03] I don't know, yeah, it's tough telling not knowing.
[1:38:06] I'm just, yeah, I'm just thinking of the budget.
[1:38:08] Do we have to make that decision now or not?
[1:38:11] I don't think so.
[1:38:12] Okay.
[1:38:12] Because if you have a problem, it was, this is really just,
[1:38:18] if, you know, budget doesn't really change.
[1:38:20] Not in that category.
[1:38:21] So it was really just the programs that we lost.
[1:38:26] You just let them do so.
[1:38:28] even do your thing, just make sure you communicate.
[1:38:32] And give a receipt.
[1:38:35] And Alicia, if the cleaning person's going to be there
[1:38:42] at the same time, just so she's aware
[1:38:44] that there's going to be things, those traps.
[1:38:49] Is she there?
[1:38:50] Yeah, she's there.
[1:38:52] And that is no longer here.
[1:38:54] So that's OK.
[1:38:57] The only other thing is the lindells to order hand soap, trifle, towels, and toilet paper.
[1:39:08] We have to figure out how much is there.
[1:39:11] I think there's some, but there might not be, so we'll have to put an order in so that these things are available and ready.
[1:39:19] because those types of things have to be set up in the pool house before the inspector comes.
[1:39:29] Because the inspector from Torrenton Area Health will check to make sure that there are the
[1:39:39] like all the stuff pertaining to the pool proper, but also pertaining to the pool house being cleaned out, cleaned and set up, and also.
[1:39:50] So this is something that the supervisor, the supervisor and, but also the supervisor for the pool and the director should be working together on that, to make sure that everything is.
[1:40:06] and we just need to know what that cost is to then ordering how much for this at the need.
[1:40:12] And it's because it's one dose, you can go in and put it on the account, and then it's just
[1:40:21] a matter of someone picking it up. So, for action item E, I don't have any, I don't know what
[1:40:36] We're proving nothing, it pertaining to money, we're agreeing that these items need to be purchased, and keys, life guards, the only other thing would be to go online at the next for the next meeting and approve these last things at the next meeting in terms of cost.
[1:41:09] That's the only other thing.
[1:41:11] And if it's Lindell's, they send the bill when they send the bill or when the stuff is picked up.
[1:41:19] That's how when you went for the state or not state, but whatever.
[1:41:25] I signed for it.
[1:41:26] You just signed for it and then they sent the bill and then the bill came to me and I just put it in the box.
[1:41:35] So we just need to make sure that the minimum amount of toilet paper is there, so Dan's going to do this.
[1:41:41] He's going to do the wash of the sheets.
[1:41:44] So Nicky just needs to get the toilet paper and bring the receipt, right?
[1:41:49] Yeah, or um, yeah, I don't know who places the order.
[1:41:54] So that's not me asking Nicky because I don't know who placed the order.
[1:42:00] and she may have already sent me that information because I, there were things that I was asking um um
[1:42:08] so basically the action item is we're not approving any purchases right now because we don't have any dollar amounts
[1:42:18] we're doing our in less unless this is discussion but unless somebody says we approve
[1:42:27] The purchase of these items, because we need that as action to approve purchase or that it only says possible, possibly.
[1:42:43] So I don't know how to make a motion, we're not making a motion, right?
[1:42:49] We can make a motion to table it to the next meeting, so we can possible action.
[1:42:57] That's the action, possible action to approve the kind of making an action to approve the purchasing off.
[1:43:08] These items without knowing the costs, or we could say up to a certain dollar amount.
[1:43:14] and pick a dollar amount.
[1:43:18] But I think maybe this is a retailer.
[1:43:24] Well, we're all
[1:43:24] keen to go ahead and make a purchase. Dan, what's your advice? How do we handle this?
[1:43:33] I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. We,
[1:43:41] the thing is, and it's as
[1:43:43] possible action to approve. It doesn't mean we have to approve.
[1:43:48] No, good. We're actually asking people to do it.
[1:43:52] We're asking Dan, because we are asking Dan to,
[1:44:00] but whether we can approve Dan to purchase locks,
[1:44:05] wasps, traps.
[1:44:06] What is the inspector coming in?
[1:44:08] We don't know. Okay, because we have to have
[1:44:10] And last, somebody else knows, do we have time to do that in the next meeting?
[1:44:15] Do we have time to add to the next meeting, please?
[1:44:17] Well, if the tentative opening of the pool is the 20th, I can tell you that.
[1:44:21] And I have told Tim that that is the date, and then it is up to him to put the chemicals
[1:44:31] in which he's purchased, whether and open the pool, but I do know from very little that
[1:44:39] been told, once that whole cover is opened, you have to start running the equipment, which
[1:44:47] means the cost. So I'm just trying to figure out that when the inspector, so we don't, we have
[1:44:52] a book the inspector, we don't know when he's coming, because we have to still put it in, it's in,
[1:44:57] has been booked as far as I know.
[1:45:00] The person who books the inspector, then the inspector contacts Tim and probably myself, because I was on the list, so to say when they're coming.
[1:45:13] So, and this is typically managed between the supervisor and Tim.
[1:45:18] Usually. So, I think if you want to discuss with Nikki, can she discuss with Tim?
[1:45:25] because we need to know the date of the full that day and it might have to be me because all of these people
[1:45:34] are working in schools that don't get out until the 19th. Even if they're half days.
[1:45:42] So it's going to be, but we're just trying to get the inspector, but if Tim is not available,
[1:45:50] is what I'm saying. Someone else has to meet the supervisor on that day. Right?
[1:45:56] Whatever day that happens to be. And that day will be happening during school time because
[1:46:03] Nicky works at school as well as Alicia working at school. So it would be me going if Tim is not
[1:46:20] What's on, what we did on the form months ago to get the inspector to actually come to inspect the pool?
[1:46:31] That's the way that is and he really kind of needs to be there because the chemistry has to be done before the inspector comes up
[1:46:39] Yes, I think it was the lady last year and she was on she went on vacation
[1:46:45] which is why it got flush.
[1:46:48] So, I'm trying to push the date and just trying to create a conversation, where someone's
[1:46:55] reaching out to Tim, which I thought I'm not saying that he has to not do his job.
[1:47:01] No, I don't.
[1:47:02] I agree.
[1:47:03] But you can still say I'm doing my job until this day and I've reached out to the guy and
[1:47:07] organized a certain date.
[1:47:09] That's all.
[1:47:10] I've already done that.
[1:47:12] At the moment, the cover is still on the pool, everything is still boarded up.
[1:47:19] After we get down this weekend, however much we get down, the pool side at least should be completed.
[1:47:27] So they can go and do that.
[1:47:29] I will say since we're talking about money that Alicia reminded me that there are issues with one of the audience.
[1:47:35] Yeah, they took them down. So we're going to have to figure that out, probably over the weekend.
[1:47:42] So that can get attended to before the pool opens.
[1:47:47] Not that that's it.
[1:47:47] Because those do those.
[1:47:50] They don't have to be up in order for the inspection to happen.
[1:47:55] Right.
[1:47:55] They just are a pain in the butt to hook up.
[1:47:59] So it's easy to do it when there's nobody under your feet.
[1:48:02] So that is beneficial,
[1:48:08] but I have mentioned, this is the date, the digital, I don't think
[1:48:14] that John Bolus's coming up either, but those things don't need to be fixed except for
[1:48:24] if the tile that was mentioned was not repaired.
[1:48:30] If there's any problems with it, that is the only thing, the sprinkler part does not need to be fixed in order for the inspection to happen.
[1:48:43] It can happen after, but we don't want it to not happen.
[1:48:50] Does that make sense? It needs to be fixed.
[1:48:55] But that being said.
[1:48:58] So, I think after this weekend we can go to Tennessee or we're out of the way,
[1:49:06] we'll see him this weekend, but you know, if it works.
[1:49:13] Yeah, I mean, whenever we see him, it's not like we have to wait until after we send to town and we're out of the way.
[1:49:18] We will be out of the way after this weekend. You can proceed.
[1:49:25] Okay. So are we going to make a motion so that Dan can purchase wastes traps?
[1:49:43] Dan you're still there. Okay. I'm going to make a motion so that Dan can purchase wastes traps.
[1:49:51] Okay, all those in favor say 1 2 1 2 3 4 4. There's still four of us here first. Oh, I'm saying Dan. I'm sorry. I take that back. Oh, I'm saying Dan. I'm sorry. I take that back. Oh, Melissa. I all right. So I'm going to write this down. And then Dan, you just have to present the receipt and then you'll get reimbursed for that.
[1:50:18] And then the other things we can
[1:50:23] on the 10th.
[1:50:25] And really that's the chlorine and pH testing
[1:50:27] supplies and all of the first day
[1:50:31] and stuff.
[1:50:32] Because I don't know what's in there,
[1:50:34] except for that she needs lots of bandages.
[1:50:37] So we're going to have,
[1:50:38] we'll have to,
[1:50:39] back to us with actual costs to approve
[1:50:42] it on the moment.
[1:50:45] the next meeting as well as the pool party thing. And there is nothing else.
[1:50:55] Windows we don't know. We don't know a price there. So, okay.
[1:51:01] There's anything that's all this stuff.
[1:51:04] All right. I move. We adjourn this meeting.
[1:51:11] Well, those in favor say I.
[1:51:13] Hi.
[1:51:15] Hi.
[1:51:16] Hi.
[1:51:16] Okay.
[1:51:18] Everybody.
[1:51:19] Sit.
[1:51:20] All right.
[1:51:21] Goodnight everybody.
