[2:01] Thank you.

[2:02] Great.

[2:04] Okay.

[2:05] I tend to traffic court in the village of Kabul-Skill on 414.

[2:09] I prepared a letter to the tenant at 281 MacArthur to give 90-day notice.

[2:13] It amounts to about two weeks prior to their third,

[2:22] 90-day extension that was written in the license agreement for what for the use of the building at

[2:31] 21.

[2:32] And the reason I did it was because the village clerk checked the records and they didn't have

[2:37] any indication that there was the proper insurance that had was supposed to be as part

[2:43] of the license.

[2:45] So, I informed him that if he didn't have the insurance in place that he would have to vacate within seven days.

[2:53] If he had the insurance in place, we needed a copy of it.

[2:57] And that July 12th would be the date that he has to get everything out.

[3:03] I started review of the codes changes.

[3:05] I started review of the fire department membership applications.

[3:08] There's two different ones.

[3:09] one on the website. One is in a hard copy. I'll make recommendations soon. And I started

[3:15] work on a quick claim deed from Richard Norton to the village. It should be done for the next

[4:09] All right, got anything?

[4:11] Thank you. All right, Sue or Gary?

[4:15] Just one thing.

[4:16] Just one.

[4:17] You know, with the nicer weather, people.

[4:19] We hear a lot more people dump the brush.

[4:21] I just want to talk about the weather.

[4:23] It's for village residents only.

[4:26] And I think we need to prove it to dump the brush.

[4:28] It's going to be a plan.

[4:29] It's not for commercial use at all.

[4:32] So, you don't want to have anybody dump an empty 230.

[4:35] So we don't run the risk of having somebody locked in the sewer plan.

[4:39] So, just so everybody's aware that, you know, just to be, you know, a permit and try to double

[4:45] folks.

[8:30] second. Hi. Hi. Motion passes.

[8:36] Mike, will you? We're going to be introducing the lodging

[8:40] establishment's short-term residential rental law. Do you want to give us a little insight on

[8:44] that? As requested, as they look into short-term rentals for the building because we have

[8:53] to hotels here. I reviewed Retrievils, which they had just adopted. I went through Saratoga.

[9:02] I went through Oriana. I went through Cooper Sound. What you have in front of you is what I

[9:08] have come up with for a law regulation, whatever you wish to call it. How it should operate,

[9:16] what we need to do. The second part is the application itself, which is very self-explanatory

[9:23] to what needs to be done at a short-term rentals of parking for safety, for

[9:32] exercise for interior maps, for any now responsibilities of the landlord, whether it's

[9:39] privately owned or a corporation.

[9:43] You can review that. I believe Heather is

[9:47] mailing it out or has mail that out to email that out to you, you can make suggestions and changes right on that.

[9:55] Please do them in red.

[9:57] Right.

[9:57] I'm colorblind.

[9:59] Okay.

[10:02] And that you did mention that there's going to apply to Airbnb and business.

[10:05] There we reach.

[10:08] So we'll have a couple of scheduled public hearing for next meeting.

[10:10] How do we know where these are or do we?

[10:13] We don't really have a list.

[10:15] that we don't have a registry, I love the popular we have, we have no, we just know where

[10:21] they are, that's it. But you don't necessarily know all of them, you only know where some

[10:26] of them.

[10:27] Maybe a couple in the village that we don't know about. So we go on Airbnb or Burbo and find where

[10:33] they are and go track those people down. Exactly. And there is a section in there for the

[10:38] for them. I took a midway mark. These are normally or anywhere

[10:45] from $50 a year up to $1,000 a year. So the corporate one I put in had

[10:54] $750 and the home operator ones I put in $100 a year for.

[11:04] So yeah well those you can

[11:05] change those or so now are we good we're supposed to review this and get back to you

[11:11] and then the public hearing is going to be at next month's meeting so you can get back

[11:15] to me before then

[11:17] you don't want us to tell you next month

[11:22] good night before five minutes before the meeting

[11:26] okay great in the last thing

[11:29] Motion to approve resolution 4-2026 resolution, voluntarily recognizing Teamsters local 2-4 as the exclusive bargaining representative, or certain departments of public works employees.

[11:44] Well, since that's our labor negotiation, should that be done in an executive session?

[11:48] Yes, sure.

[11:49] No, no.

[11:50] No, no.

[11:50] No.

[11:50] on it, are but do we have to be an executive session for the resolution to say we're doing it?

[11:57] So we can do that.

[11:58] Before we do that, go to executive session.

[12:00] I want to go ahead and go to payment of bills.

[12:03] I'll say it was a loss that you can.

[12:05] So payment of bills abstract 0.426P dated 4.226 and amount of 146,977 dollars.

[12:16] Abstract zero of four two six p dated four two twenty six and the amount of 129,036 dollars and six cents

[12:26] Abstract zero four two six dated three seventeen twenty six and the amount of 267,118 dollars and twenty four cents

[12:34] Total six hundred and three thousand two hundred thirty one dollars and twenty nine cents

[12:39] Emotion on that

[12:42] I'll move the load of your changes.

[12:44] No, that, I guess it does.

[12:45] That includes about, yes, it does.

[12:47] So do we have to have a separate motion

[12:48] to approve those changes?

[12:50] No, no, no.

[12:52] Why move we approve?

[12:54] All right, get a second.

[12:55] Second.

[12:56] All right, all right.

[12:58] OK, and we will adjourn to a executive session

[13:00] in return to these above all matter resolution.

[13:04] OK.

[13:12] We'll let it into existence.

[13:13] I don't care.

[13:14] Good for you.

[13:15] And good luck with that.

[13:16] I got hold of you. I'm hard headed. Okay. So back to I'll read it again. So I need to make a motion

[13:28] to approve resolution 4-2026. Resolution voluntarily recognizing Teamsters Local 294 is the exclusive

[13:37] bargaining representative for certain department of public work employees. And like I said,

[13:42] because I've already been speaking with the Union

[13:44] I'm going to refuse myself on this vote,

[13:48] but I will make a motion.

[13:49] So I'm getting a second on that.

[13:50] I'll second.

[13:51] And then we can discuss it.

[13:53] Well, that's what the executive said.

[13:55] No, but I mean, don't we want some something

[13:59] on the public record?

[14:00] Like, do our employees know what they're getting into?

[14:04] It's, well, that's what I was getting at.

[14:08] We, some of them don't, I think we,

[14:11] this gives them an opportunity. I think we want to as a board we want to be sure that what they're choosing is in their best interest. Yes, and that's for that reason. I will hope no on this.

[14:23] No.

[14:25] The unanimous no across the board. So that does not pass. Okay. Great. In that case, I will make motion to adjourn this meeting.

[14:35] Second.

[14:36] All right. All right. All right. Thanks for coming out everybody. Sorry for the.
