1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:09,200
I'd like to call the Finance Committee meeting to order on September 17th. Please join me for the pledge of

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,780
allegiance.

3
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:22,460
I would like the United States America to develop all the territories in one nation, under God into Israel, to live in justice for all.

4
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,240
The police note that this meeting is in person, but it is being recorded.

5
00:00:34,590 --> 00:00:37,850
It had a big night ahead of us, warrant article review.

6
00:00:38,470 --> 00:00:43,570
So, as we go through, Madam Chair, we have the one articles that we can do, the majority of them, I think tonight,

7
00:00:43,570 --> 00:00:47,090
to make me a couple that we have to wait till next week, especially the capital where they're meeting.

8
00:00:47,550 --> 00:00:51,970
On next Wednesday to finalize the request from the departments, I invited Buddy Baker Smith

9
00:00:51,970 --> 00:00:55,990
come in and talk about Article 1 and he's here if we want to start.

10
00:00:56,630 --> 00:00:57,430
Of course.

11
00:00:58,150 --> 00:00:59,550
I want to join us, Buddy.

12
00:00:59,790 --> 00:01:01,290
Thank you for taking the time.

13
00:01:06,030 --> 00:01:06,990
Thank you.

14
00:01:07,150 --> 00:01:14,750
We have one CPC is bringing forward one article for the October town meeting, which is

15
00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:23,370
recommendation for town meeting to approve $1 million in CPA funds for the

16
00:01:23,370 --> 00:01:32,530
past-commanded Valley Conservation Project. And that is the project will be to

17
00:01:33,130 --> 00:01:41,370
preserve put under conservation restriction about 29 acres. The property that's

18
00:01:41,370 --> 00:01:47,350
I think we typically refer to as a Hawthorne Country Club property.

19
00:01:48,350 --> 00:01:54,750
This is a joint application from the town of Dartmouth, and the buzzer-based coal-lition

20
00:01:56,030 --> 00:02:06,450
buzzers-based proposing to purchase that parcel, and that CPA funds are to go to the town

21
00:02:06,450 --> 00:02:15,330
Dartmouth to purchase the conservation restriction on that piece of property and a couple

22
00:02:15,330 --> 00:02:20,370
of things. We've had a review. We've asked some questions and got responses. There are a couple

23
00:02:20,370 --> 00:02:27,590
of things that are outstanding, but the main thing is they're in the process of getting

24
00:02:27,590 --> 00:02:30,710
an appraisal of that parcel.

25
00:02:32,890 --> 00:02:36,210
What the value of the conservation restriction will be on that

26
00:02:36,210 --> 00:02:46,230
So, it's one of the things that we look at because the amount of CPF funds should not exceed the

27
00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:48,850
the appraised value of the conservation restriction.

28
00:02:49,390 --> 00:02:54,510
So, that work is underway and expected to be done well before town meeting.

29
00:02:57,190 --> 00:02:59,830
So, let me stop there and please, there are questions.

30
00:03:01,170 --> 00:03:14,370
Yeah, of course this was this is part of the area that I guess would be the inside the proposed

31
00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:15,710
conservation.

32
00:03:17,890 --> 00:03:22,110
That was going to be developed for those 65 housing units, I'm not mistaken, okay.

33
00:03:22,570 --> 00:03:29,210
Now, he been working with the developer as far as mapping out the restricted lands and

34
00:03:29,210 --> 00:03:32,530
what he's going to be doing in the summer area there too,

35
00:03:33,550 --> 00:03:37,030
that I'll feel you familiar with that are really wetlands

36
00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:38,790
and what you guys are advocating,

37
00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:42,410
recreational paths and all that.

38
00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:45,670
And I probably have two questions.

39
00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:47,270
I guess you've been working with the developer.

40
00:03:47,730 --> 00:03:49,750
And secondly, what are you going to do with these lands

41
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,850
that may not be either buildable or used

42
00:03:52,850 --> 00:03:56,650
to refuse or recreation or what are your planning plans

43
00:03:56,650 --> 00:03:57,790
on that going forward?

44
00:03:57,790 --> 00:04:27,390
Well, I just had clarifies, so the town has been the one in conversation with the developer, the current owner and the person, the developer that's interested in acquiring the property, so the CPC hasn't been involved in any of those conversations, so what was presented to us is the plan would be for another developer to purchase the property.

45
00:04:28,190 --> 00:04:36,770
It would need to be subdivided so that the back part of the property, the 29 acres,

46
00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:45,910
that a bunch of the Pascemans River would be under a conservation restriction,

47
00:04:46,590 --> 00:04:51,730
and then the remaining part of the current parcel would be developed by the new owner.

48
00:04:52,570 --> 00:05:08,630
And as we understood it, that would result in a reduction in the number of units that would be located in that area as the current proposal, I think that the town has seen from the current owner would have built on all of that land.

49
00:05:08,630 --> 00:05:16,330
And so I think one of the things that was, particularly, I think, several members of the CPC commented on it.

50
00:05:16,490 --> 00:05:23,370
It's just, this seems to be a very positive use to the CPA fund, protects some land.

51
00:05:24,210 --> 00:05:36,830
Certainly, along the, about the aquifers, the town wells, as well as come up with a more reasonable,

52
00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:43,490
size development for that site that seems to be more in line with what the

53
00:05:43,490 --> 00:05:50,510
community and a butters kind of where we're hoping for. So, that's saying some

54
00:05:50,510 --> 00:05:57,950
of those 29 acres would be in over to a sold-to-developer. No, those 29

55
00:05:57,950 --> 00:06:02,910
acres would be that we're talking about here and this article or the ones that

56
00:06:02,910 --> 00:06:08,890
would be, ultimately, under a conservation restriction.

57
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:12,870
With the, excuse me, with the parcel being owned by

58
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:17,530
the Southern Bay Coalition, and there would be no

59
00:06:17,530 --> 00:06:19,790
development. There would be passive recreation,

60
00:06:22,350 --> 00:06:23,730
the new

61
00:06:23,730 --> 00:06:29,990
developer, the remaining parcel that can be developed, would

62
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:33,550
provide access to the conservation area?

63
00:06:33,730 --> 00:06:34,090
No, I see.

64
00:06:34,690 --> 00:06:37,950
So that's outside of the 20, because there's a lot of more.

65
00:06:38,350 --> 00:06:39,410
Yeah, there's no possible.

66
00:06:39,990 --> 00:06:41,990
Yes, outside of the 29 acres.

67
00:06:42,910 --> 00:06:43,430
No, I understand.

68
00:06:43,790 --> 00:06:43,950
Thank you.

69
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:46,050
So I was just looking at the map.

70
00:06:46,070 --> 00:06:46,670
It looks like this.

71
00:06:46,670 --> 00:06:47,310
Two parcels.

72
00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:51,910
One is in the buildable areas where the country cliff was.

73
00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:53,090
It looks like so.

74
00:06:53,110 --> 00:06:53,590
Yeah.

75
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:59,130
I think the parcel has to be subdivided, so I think what you see is that the illustration

76
00:06:59,130 --> 00:07:02,390
of how it would be subdivided at that time.

77
00:07:04,030 --> 00:07:09,850
I think that the article is proposed, checks a lot of boxes for the positive.

78
00:07:10,490 --> 00:07:15,410
I mean, we've seen over the last year that nothing gets people moving, kind of like a 40-V

79
00:07:15,410 --> 00:07:20,990
proposal to be vocal and I think a lot of the most of the town sentiment was negative if

80
00:07:20,990 --> 00:07:23,230
we don't want it with different effects.

81
00:07:23,730 --> 00:07:28,550
And I think that having the age-restricted proposed community one cuts down like you said

82
00:07:28,550 --> 00:07:29,290
on the number of units.

83
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,220
which is good for, you know, concerns people had with traffic. We have an aging population in town, so the

84
00:07:36,220 --> 00:07:41,120
age restrictor community, I think will be good for people that want to remain in Dartmouth. I have

85
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,340
a place to possible by and then maybe even if they have generational homes that they've lived in,

86
00:07:45,420 --> 00:07:50,780
free up to have more homes on the market for younger families to move in. Also with the age restriction,

87
00:07:51,140 --> 00:07:55,380
you know, having an impact on the schools, which I know was a concern for some people. So I think,

88
00:07:55,380 --> 00:08:00,580
know, it checks a lot of boxes and kind of answers the concerns that a lot of people had.

89
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,060
When I read the documents we got, I just had two questions that came up.

90
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,180
One is the fundraising portion for the million and 40,000.

91
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,580
And so fundraising to be ongoing, is that through Buzzets Bay coalition, do you know, are

92
00:08:15,580 --> 00:08:17,300
they going to be raising those bonds?

93
00:08:17,420 --> 00:08:17,460
Yes.

94
00:08:17,460 --> 00:08:23,660
That's what they presented, they would raise the rest of the funds to acquire that property.

95
00:08:23,660 --> 00:08:26,880
And then the second was with the proposed recreation area,

96
00:08:26,980 --> 00:08:27,840
which I think is good.

97
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,860
I was just looking at the GIS map

98
00:08:29,860 --> 00:08:32,700
and the parcel that the town already owns

99
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:35,060
comes down in a strip, almost to talk a row,

100
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,420
but there's a home there on the corner.

101
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:38,980
And I think the only access would be the country

102
00:08:38,980 --> 00:08:41,180
called Bolivod through the new development

103
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,900
or through fairway drive.

104
00:08:44,380 --> 00:08:47,200
And so I just didn't know like access-wise

105
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,680
if there was any conversation with Buzzets Beable,

106
00:08:50,620 --> 00:08:52,780
how people are gonna access this land,

107
00:08:52,780 --> 00:08:55,860
Because I think if you're going through someone's street, there's going to be kind of a pushback,

108
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,860
but I don't think there's any easier way to get into a, you know, a parking area.

109
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:08,940
Yeah, I think that's where what was the response was that the new developer that would take

110
00:09:08,940 --> 00:09:17,060
on that front part would in laying out a site plan for a development would provide in that

111
00:09:17,060 --> 00:09:17,720
site plan.

112
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,960
access through to the conservation area.

113
00:09:21,580 --> 00:09:24,020
So it wouldn't deal with the fairway or the kind of stuff.

114
00:09:24,020 --> 00:09:27,160
Because I know that would be the next battle that you'd fight.

115
00:09:27,460 --> 00:09:28,740
So, okay, thank you for that.

116
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,100
Anybody else?

117
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:33,440
I just had one comment.

118
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:34,260
Oh, okay.

119
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,400
And I'm very happy that you're here and very happy that you'll be at the

120
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,500
term meeting because this is one of those projects.

121
00:09:41,660 --> 00:09:44,880
Again, like I can think of around the band was one of them.

122
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,020
The project that we went through last year.

123
00:09:47,020 --> 00:09:52,220
people need to understand the parameters or what this is and what it is and what it is and what

124
00:09:52,220 --> 00:09:52,620
it is and what it is.

125
00:09:52,620 --> 00:09:54,680
It is a great shot of explaining that to people.

126
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:55,500
Great.

127
00:09:56,300 --> 00:09:58,840
I will hopefully continue to do that.

128
00:09:59,260 --> 00:09:59,300
Yes.

129
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,340
Now these are the kind of projects we love to see.

130
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:09,140
I realize it is not possible to buy up all the land there is and protect it.

131
00:10:09,220 --> 00:10:15,300
I think Dartmouth does an admirable job though, especially with some of the nonprofits that we work with.

132
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:21,380
it's fantastic how much land has been protected. I know there are those that will still

133
00:10:21,380 --> 00:10:27,740
and have squawk a little bit because they're still housing being built. Well, it wasn't possible

134
00:10:27,740 --> 00:10:33,340
to buy the whole parcel. Yeah, and, you know, it's a balanced, balanced development. It's a balanced

135
00:10:33,340 --> 00:10:39,960
agenda. I think that's, I think that's one of the things if this would enable this to go forward

136
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:48,100
a more if you will palpable way it includes important housing development which is still important

137
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:54,860
for people in town and the growth of the town and all that but really important protections

138
00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:01,020
and a balance so yeah this is a really good example and I'll try to be clear about we're talking

139
00:11:01,020 --> 00:11:06,760
about the conservation restriction here and there are other plans and other avenues that could

140
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:13,320
committees and boards that deal with the development aspect of that site, so I'll try to

141
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,360
try to clear about that.

142
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,980
And that's the more realistic, in my opinion, the way that land should be developed, combination,

143
00:11:20,260 --> 00:11:25,020
protection, and a small amount of units, because at one time, I'm not mistaken,

144
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:31,420
they were, I guess, going to build perhaps at 200 and something units on that land.

145
00:11:31,940 --> 00:11:36,500
I knew it down to 187, I went down to 65, which makes a lot more sense.

146
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:36,780
Yeah.

147
00:11:37,140 --> 00:11:42,540
Well, Kudos to the town administration that clearly has been working hard to try to find

148
00:11:42,540 --> 00:11:46,600
a way forward and this was then brought to us.

149
00:11:46,780 --> 00:11:53,200
I just also want to be clear that CPC did not come up with this elegant solution.

150
00:11:53,940 --> 00:11:57,100
It was brought to us and we supported it wholeheartedly.

151
00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,160
Great.

152
00:11:59,980 --> 00:12:01,900
And the other questions or comments?

153
00:12:04,580 --> 00:12:04,840
Thank you.

154
00:12:04,860 --> 00:12:05,260
Thank you so much.

155
00:12:05,260 --> 00:12:08,980
take in the time to join us. Thank you all. Good to see you. All right.

156
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,540
Thanks buddy. Take care.

157
00:12:14,230 --> 00:12:17,010
So we have 17 articles. I know they're not all

158
00:12:17,010 --> 00:12:22,570
boardable. My question to you is you want to go through and vote the ones we can and then

159
00:12:22,570 --> 00:12:31,410
go back and look at the rationales or go back and forth. I like to vote the ones that we can

160
00:12:31,410 --> 00:12:36,550
and then go back to the rationales. How about you, don't you usually write the rationales after you

161
00:12:38,850 --> 00:12:40,910
There's a draft, there's a draft, there's a draft, there's a draft, there's a draft

162
00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:45,010
of the rationales, which I say you, I mean, you didn't spend all afternoon reading it.

163
00:12:45,150 --> 00:12:45,790
I'm very, very helpful.

164
00:12:46,110 --> 00:12:49,930
I mean, do you vote on, I mean, I think you talk about the rational, after you vote on

165
00:12:49,930 --> 00:12:50,350
the article.

166
00:12:50,750 --> 00:12:51,190
You typically.

167
00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:52,290
We can.

168
00:12:52,570 --> 00:12:52,810
We can.

169
00:12:52,810 --> 00:12:53,990
The rapid all up.

170
00:12:54,330 --> 00:12:54,750
I mean, get it done.

171
00:12:54,990 --> 00:12:56,210
I mean, get this simple one.

172
00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:58,590
It's probably wouldn't take us long to talk about it.

173
00:12:58,590 --> 00:12:59,250
We can't do that.

174
00:12:59,250 --> 00:12:59,450
We can't do that.

175
00:12:59,890 --> 00:13:00,450
We can't do that.

176
00:13:00,450 --> 00:13:01,950
We can't do that.

177
00:13:01,950 --> 00:13:04,870
after whatever you've said and done and then.

178
00:13:04,890 --> 00:13:07,290
Does the sense you're right about them when you think about them?

179
00:13:07,690 --> 00:13:08,150
What's your hair?

180
00:13:08,430 --> 00:13:09,050
Yeah, sure, why not?

181
00:13:09,090 --> 00:13:10,790
No, I'm going back and forth, I just think.

182
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:12,270
I'm asking to see what people prefer.

183
00:13:16,260 --> 00:13:20,700
Carry, if you could, on the draft that I sent you, the word doc,

184
00:13:20,820 --> 00:13:24,900
and you keep track of the voting, that way, the votes in there.

185
00:13:25,060 --> 00:13:27,140
I mean, I could do it, but then my stuff's on the screen.

186
00:13:27,180 --> 00:13:30,520
So it's going to be hard for me to flip back and forth, put the voting in,

187
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,480
and go back to the article.

188
00:13:31,620 --> 00:13:33,400
That's all.

189
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,960
Okay, so I'm going to ask today.

190
00:13:35,260 --> 00:13:35,920
Yes, sir.

191
00:13:35,940 --> 00:13:37,140
Seven, I'll ask today.

192
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,400
Gary, I have the...

193
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,500
Give us a list of the articles we can vote on this evening.

194
00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:46,980
Has the Slackman voted on these articles?

195
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,200
No, we bring it to the Slackman first.

196
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,160
We make our recommendations first.

197
00:13:51,220 --> 00:13:53,440
They're going to vote on on the 20...

198
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:53,640
Yeah.

199
00:13:54,340 --> 00:13:56,080
The next meeting of the 28th.

200
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:57,760
We'll give them our recommendations.

201
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,300
They'll like to read our recommendations.

202
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:13,500
They went through these at the last select board meeting, I mean, Cody went through everything and they talked about them a little bit, but yeah, there was no voting.

203
00:14:13,940 --> 00:14:15,380
And then some of them are not final anyway.

204
00:14:15,780 --> 00:14:17,240
Yeah, the 28th they will vote on it.

205
00:14:20,670 --> 00:14:22,850
Without recommendations, I want to find this committee's results.

206
00:14:23,770 --> 00:14:26,470
Anyway, I'm not going to read the entire article.

207
00:14:26,570 --> 00:14:29,470
I will simply read the heading of the article.

208
00:14:29,470 --> 00:14:36,170
So, Article 1 is the Community Preservation Committee, Paschamance at Valley Conservation Project,

209
00:14:36,170 --> 00:14:42,170
which we just heard, Buddy Baker Smith, described to us, do I have a motion?

210
00:14:42,930 --> 00:14:44,870
I'll make a motion, too.

211
00:14:45,230 --> 00:14:46,090
Can we make some motion?

212
00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:46,650
I can.

213
00:14:47,210 --> 00:14:49,770
Second, from Patrick, any discussion?

214
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:53,860
Are we ready to vote?

215
00:14:54,780 --> 00:14:57,000
All in favor of Article 1?

216
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:58,140
Aye.

217
00:14:58,460 --> 00:14:59,220
Any opposed?

218
00:14:59,220 --> 00:14:59,860
Bye-bye.

219
00:15:00,140 --> 00:15:05,580
No. Any abstentions? No. So that's seven. So we have to do it there.

220
00:15:08,010 --> 00:15:12,790
How do you want me to read the rationale and if we can put it up on the screen?

221
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:16,050
Oh, look. Okay. Okay.

222
00:15:23,230 --> 00:15:35,690
Good, not for you. Just one comment before we go to the first article one rationale in the top part of our template that we use to do the rationale.

223
00:15:35,690 --> 00:15:41,850
I added that section, the section is not new, the section was in another place on the

224
00:15:41,850 --> 00:15:43,370
warrant rationales before.

225
00:15:43,850 --> 00:15:48,450
But this way just covers everything that may or may not have a financial implication.

226
00:15:49,610 --> 00:15:54,490
Basically, that we have to make a recommendation to town meeting on every warrant article,

227
00:15:54,610 --> 00:15:57,850
regardless of whether the article involves a financial matter.

228
00:15:58,370 --> 00:15:59,630
So now it's just part of the template.

229
00:15:59,890 --> 00:16:01,110
I think that's good.

230
00:16:01,390 --> 00:16:02,630
Because it was on the other one.

231
00:16:03,010 --> 00:16:09,330
Yeah, that way it's there and then however the articles are listed they may or not be listed in that order

232
00:16:09,330 --> 00:16:15,810
I think last time for whatever reason the non-financial ones came after so we had that in the middle of the rationale

233
00:16:20,450 --> 00:16:23,850
Anyway, do you want to read it yourself? So you want it to be read to you?

234
00:16:25,810 --> 00:16:26,250
I

235
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,040
like that it clarifies it's a conservation restriction like you mentioned the body in that way

236
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:42,160
It's clear what it's for, and that it mentions the, you know, aligns with the objectives

237
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,700
and also protecting the aquifer, aquifer, which I think is important.

238
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:46,300
Right.

239
00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:47,180
That actually, yeah.

240
00:16:47,380 --> 00:16:50,760
When I went through the document, I realized that that was a point that should be made.

241
00:16:50,940 --> 00:16:53,660
I realized that there'll be a map passed out.

242
00:16:53,880 --> 00:17:01,740
I'm sure, a town meeting, and it will show where all the water wells are behind that.

243
00:17:02,340 --> 00:17:03,820
So, I thought that was important.

244
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,500
changes, there are a big thoughts, John.

245
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:16,440
Yeah, a big part of this, as we all know, is the, this is a much better alternative to

246
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,320
what the talent is facing right now with a 40B project.

247
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,020
So even though it's separate, it is tied together.

248
00:17:23,180 --> 00:17:25,440
There's no question about it when we view it at the CPC.

249
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:33,800
You know, why not come out and say this, this article is tied to the existence of the

250
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:42,600
This thing approved 40B project, and this alternative presents a much better solution to the

251
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:43,200
town.

252
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,900
And John makes a good point because as I understand that if this does not pass, it could

253
00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:50,780
revert back to the original project.

254
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:51,360
Absolutely.

255
00:17:52,180 --> 00:17:53,220
I think that's a good point.

256
00:17:53,220 --> 00:17:53,500
I think that's a good point.

257
00:17:53,820 --> 00:17:57,280
That people do tie it together because if they don't vote for it, it's going to revert

258
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:57,500
back.

259
00:17:57,500 --> 00:17:58,360
It's just worth mentioning.

260
00:17:59,120 --> 00:17:59,720
No, that's fine.

261
00:17:59,860 --> 00:18:00,480
That's a sentence.

262
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,600
Kerry, how would you like it to read?

263
00:18:03,740 --> 00:18:05,840
Yeah, that's it.

264
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,840
That's just how did I just said this?

265
00:18:07,860 --> 00:18:07,920
That's it.

266
00:18:08,780 --> 00:18:10,420
Why don't we do it back on watch the video?

267
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,700
This project goes in and in here with the 40B requirements for the time.

268
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:16,660
It's something like that.

269
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:22,320
This parcel is tied to the 40B approved 40B project.

270
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,340
If approved provides a better alternative.

271
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,580
than the 40B project?

272
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:41,120
I would suggest changing it from tied to one component of just because the spot is making

273
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:46,100
the point that it's not people who need to be clear about what it is and is it?

274
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:51,040
But I think you're absolutely right to put something in about this because it checks boxes

275
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:57,410
as Patrick said not just for that, but for the population of the town that is always being

276
00:18:57,410 --> 00:19:02,190
right up that we're not really, you know, prioritizing them.

277
00:19:02,350 --> 00:19:03,890
Maybe it's worth it somewhere in a way.

278
00:19:04,250 --> 00:19:10,390
Like if approved, this would provide a, I want to say, reasonable alternative of

279
00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:15,230
something like that, to the proposed 40 B residences at Hawkeh.

280
00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:16,010
That's possible.

281
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,090
That's possible.

282
00:19:17,690 --> 00:19:17,830
That's possible.

283
00:19:17,970 --> 00:19:18,570
It's very great.

284
00:19:18,570 --> 00:19:18,830
Thank you.

285
00:19:20,170 --> 00:19:24,670
So the proposed 40 B development, known as the residences at Hawkeh one.

286
00:19:24,670 --> 00:19:28,450
Okay, I'm done to the rights of Mr. Forty Bae.

287
00:19:28,790 --> 00:19:31,290
Development, I'm known as the residences at Arthur.

288
00:19:31,370 --> 00:19:33,210
I want to propose to as the residences at Arthur.

289
00:19:35,970 --> 00:19:39,170
Residents at that heart, aren't they?

290
00:19:39,210 --> 00:19:40,070
And that's that, yeah.

291
00:19:41,590 --> 00:19:42,070
Good.

292
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:45,330
I'm going to need to write that a little bit, but yeah.

293
00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:53,510
Article two, appropriation to the stabilization fund.

294
00:19:54,650 --> 00:19:56,150
Somebody want to make a motion.

295
00:19:56,150 --> 00:19:58,590
I'll make a motion to approve.

296
00:19:58,930 --> 00:19:59,330
I'll second.

297
00:20:01,090 --> 00:20:01,710
Any discussion?

298
00:20:02,710 --> 00:20:03,210
Comments?

299
00:20:03,530 --> 00:20:04,030
Gary Hayson.

300
00:20:04,350 --> 00:20:07,330
All this will bring our balance to close to about 14.3 million.

301
00:20:07,950 --> 00:20:13,830
Dollars and Stabilization Fund, which is in line with the financial policies in the

302
00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:21,090
town, being a certain percentage of the operating revenues operating budget, excuse me.

303
00:20:21,090 --> 00:20:25,970
And while it's still fresh in my mind, that would be good to put that figure into the rationale.

304
00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:28,090
But we'll get to that.

305
00:20:29,610 --> 00:20:31,950
Anybody else have a comment or question?

306
00:20:33,150 --> 00:20:33,890
Ready to vote?

307
00:20:34,550 --> 00:20:36,910
All in favor of Article 2.

308
00:20:37,370 --> 00:20:37,610
I.

309
00:20:38,630 --> 00:20:41,010
Any opposed or abstentions?

310
00:20:41,410 --> 00:20:42,650
So 7.0.

311
00:20:44,650 --> 00:20:45,130
7.0.

312
00:20:45,130 --> 00:20:45,150
7.0.

313
00:20:45,810 --> 00:20:46,030
Yep.

314
00:20:47,010 --> 00:20:49,530
And what was that amount that I need to add to the rationale?

315
00:20:50,850 --> 00:20:55,350
the bounce. 14, let's say 14.3 million.

316
00:21:00,050 --> 00:21:06,110
I would also maybe add that this annual contribution is important to ensure the town

317
00:21:06,110 --> 00:21:12,870
retains its AAA-bound rating. Okay, yeah. And as Gary said, it aligns what have financial

318
00:21:12,870 --> 00:21:16,470
policy. Yes, it's also aligns with terms financial policy, so you can say that.

319
00:21:20,550 --> 00:21:21,150
Didn't

320
00:21:22,750 --> 00:21:25,230
I feel your pain in your way, Bonnie.

321
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,740
You want to read it when you're done.

322
00:21:32,140 --> 00:21:32,300
Yeah.

323
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,040
Wait a minute.

324
00:21:33,380 --> 00:21:34,400
I have to.

325
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,440
That way we can say it about.

326
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,320
Hear the flow.

327
00:21:36,460 --> 00:21:37,780
This annual contribution.

328
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:39,480
You said something about that.

329
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,320
This annual contribution is important to ensure the town

330
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,140
routines.

331
00:21:44,620 --> 00:21:46,060
It's triple a bond reading.

332
00:21:47,460 --> 00:21:48,500
And then.

333
00:21:48,860 --> 00:21:49,900
And I'll, would you say a line?

334
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:50,640
In the lines.

335
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,040
the lines with the town's financial policies?

336
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,780
I'm sure and lines.

337
00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:59,820
No, to ensure the town retains its triple a bond reading.

338
00:22:08,070 --> 00:22:09,490
The line left.

339
00:22:10,470 --> 00:22:14,030
And then after that in the lines with the town's financial policies.

340
00:22:15,770 --> 00:22:17,450
Is that what you said financial policies?

341
00:22:18,130 --> 00:22:18,370
Yes.

342
00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:21,890
When you send it out too well, proofreading.

343
00:22:22,450 --> 00:22:22,710
Please.

344
00:22:23,710 --> 00:22:25,210
Would it be greatly appreciated?

345
00:22:25,390 --> 00:22:27,150
It'll get lots of proofreading.

346
00:22:27,150 --> 00:22:29,010
And I would really appreciate that.

347
00:22:29,210 --> 00:22:29,670
I would appreciate them.

348
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:59,900
I mean, I added to the end this article, so it's also out this article proposed as an appropriation of 250,000 from surplus revenue and transfers this amount to the stabilization fund. This transfer amount is primarily attributed to the stabilization fund's current balance of greater than 10% of the town's operating revenues. The balance of 14.3 million. What else do we want to write after that?

349
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:04,580
Is that just the balance? Is that where it is?

350
00:23:04,860 --> 00:23:08,720
The balance is 14.3 million. The balance is 14.4 million.

351
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,460
Okay, the balance is 14.3 million.

352
00:23:12,140 --> 00:23:14,900
This annual contribution is important to ensure the town routines.

353
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:19,260
It's AAA, bond rating, and aligns with the town's financial policies.

354
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,080
It sounds good.

355
00:23:21,380 --> 00:23:23,700
Okay, all right. I can unhighlight that one.

356
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,540
I would leave it high-load to avoid the final copy of it.

357
00:23:28,620 --> 00:23:29,300
You got it.

358
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,860
That way we can go back and give it a little bit more.

359
00:23:31,860 --> 00:23:39,920
one's over. Perfect. All righty. Is Article 3 ready for voting? Yes.

360
00:23:40,460 --> 00:23:45,240
Question 2 for Article 3. So hang on one second. Is that some correct?

361
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,720
Yes. Okay.

362
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:55,740
All right. Article 3. Appropriation to the stabilization fund for collective bargaining and non-union agreements.

363
00:23:56,140 --> 00:23:57,500
Do we have a motion to approve?

364
00:23:57,500 --> 00:23:59,760
I'll connect with the motion to the pool.

365
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:00,680
And a second?

366
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:01,620
A second.

367
00:24:02,660 --> 00:24:03,220
Any discussion?

368
00:24:05,260 --> 00:24:06,700
Let's look at the comments on the side.

369
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,360
It was just about the is the number accurate,

370
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,520
which I just asked.

371
00:24:13,820 --> 00:24:16,780
Gary, do you have any comments on this?

372
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:18,520
Maybe maybe the same.

373
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,560
We could leave on part of the town.

374
00:24:20,820 --> 00:24:21,880
Most of the financial policies.

375
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,420
We could probably get something at the balance.

376
00:24:24,420 --> 00:24:26,220
Let me see what we've got to talk about.

377
00:24:26,220 --> 00:24:27,160
Are you talking about the rationale?

378
00:24:28,220 --> 00:24:28,440
Yes.

379
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,560
Did you take, did you vote already on that?

380
00:24:30,580 --> 00:24:30,780
We did.

381
00:24:30,860 --> 00:24:31,180
We did.

382
00:24:31,340 --> 00:24:31,660
We did.

383
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,340
We just, we were discussing.

384
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:33,600
We just, we were discussing.

385
00:24:34,220 --> 00:24:34,240
Okay.

386
00:24:35,060 --> 00:24:35,280
Sorry.

387
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,120
We got to keep up with Gary.

388
00:24:40,540 --> 00:24:40,740
Sorry.

389
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,000
Anyway, did you have any comments about this article, Gary?

390
00:24:45,780 --> 00:24:45,900
No.

391
00:24:46,020 --> 00:24:50,360
This will help us out with, obviously, you know, we're in,

392
00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:55,480
collect the bargaining with all four unions and what we typically do with this we started this

393
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,820
fund quite some time ago and it just

394
00:24:59,420 --> 00:25:04,520
continues to fund that so that once we get to union contract negotiations we can

395
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,640
use this fund and we need it we will need it as you'll see in another article but we will be

396
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,240
up the bottom of the night because those contracts have been settled but for what we also

397
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,920
did we kind of gave a little bit to the schools last year when we tried to help them out with the budget

398
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:27,340
That's right, so this is not just town, it's also available for any kind of increase that we may need to adjust.

399
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,880
So we're just to refresh my memory.

400
00:25:30,100 --> 00:25:31,780
We probably have discussed this before.

401
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:39,740
But that $150,000 when you say helps with the collective bargaining, what if you want to do a deeper dive?

402
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:40,680
What would that entail?

403
00:25:40,780 --> 00:25:42,780
Will you go through your needs?

404
00:25:42,940 --> 00:25:43,720
I don't know.

405
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:44,440
The salaries.

406
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,260
The actual salaries.

407
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,520
The salaries itself.

408
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,500
And the only the hours itself is that it's just the way that you just want to get.

409
00:25:55,830 --> 00:25:56,730
Ready to vote?

410
00:25:58,840 --> 00:25:59,500
All in favor?

411
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:00,580
Aye.

412
00:26:00,860 --> 00:26:03,000
Any opposed or abstentions?

413
00:26:03,180 --> 00:26:04,520
So seven zero.

414
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:05,900
Zero zero zero.

415
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:06,580
All right.

416
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:15,160
And then going over to the rational for Article 3.

417
00:26:19,740 --> 00:26:23,340
So Kara, you can obviously take the red away from the sun.

418
00:26:23,340 --> 00:26:28,580
wasn't sure if that was fine on but I did okay yeah because it's definitely

419
00:26:28,580 --> 00:26:33,180
it's the final number Gary would you mentioned to add the balance of the

420
00:26:33,180 --> 00:26:37,240
account yes so so let's see where it reads

421
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,670
this is this is not carries right

422
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,200
hmm this isn't like carries using no no we're not the same right so we can add

423
00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:00,840
that the balance is a 1.1 million 1.1 million 1.1 million

424
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:06,040
carries editing it but this is this is what she's doing for her yeah yeah and we obviously

425
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,940
finalized the 150,000 I got a little help over here so

426
00:27:13,660 --> 00:27:16,700
it's preceded Patrick is an excellent

427
00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:18,940
wordsmith he hit that something

428
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,680
yes join Gary made a point that this is for four unions I think

429
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:38,260
that's an important statement so in the middle of the first sentence which is set aside to resolve

430
00:27:38,260 --> 00:27:43,980
contract negotiations with four unions for all staff for unions for all staff

431
00:27:44,620 --> 00:27:49,540
Santa correct state and yeah I would I would I say four unions

432
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:51,720
Yeah

433
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,000
We have four unions

434
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,760
Was there a union that's not settled in this though?

435
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,320
It does say excluding the school

436
00:28:01,860 --> 00:28:04,320
But that was the only one that's not included in this

437
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:05,960
Correct

438
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,700
I mean, just read this for a second.

439
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,760
I'm trying to know if you've lost that experience, but I'm not going to.

440
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:14,940
I'm sorry.

441
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:15,500
I'm sorry.

442
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:23,020
I just thought it last meeting that Cody had said there was three out of four that we're

443
00:28:23,020 --> 00:28:23,740
going to be.

444
00:28:24,180 --> 00:28:25,840
Well, so right now we have, this four units.

445
00:28:26,020 --> 00:28:33,040
Right now we have, we're going to most likely have laborers and still work are settled.

446
00:28:33,900 --> 00:28:37,980
DTA and police probably won't be settled for this contract for this town meeting.

447
00:28:37,980 --> 00:28:40,960
So you'll see those articles coming up.

448
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,620
We don't have a dollar amounts for those.

449
00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:45,120
Yeah, but we'll have to do those next week.

450
00:28:46,060 --> 00:28:47,940
I would leave this as purely the balance.

451
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,280
And if we also want to mention that there are four unions,

452
00:28:53,340 --> 00:28:55,980
I don't know how you want to put it maybe four unions in.

453
00:28:57,060 --> 00:28:58,340
I'll take advantage of that.

454
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,760
If you have, we're mentioning those.

455
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,680
The steel workers and other articles.

456
00:29:05,460 --> 00:29:06,700
So what was this article?

457
00:29:06,700 --> 00:29:13,080
The fund all the fund we can put the fund the four unions if you want to mention to defend but remaining

458
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,780
If you want to mention those four unions

459
00:29:14,780 --> 00:29:17,640
There's people won't know who the four unions are

460
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,280
Oh, and

461
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:25,600
You know where do we start and stop? I think it's important when you look at especially the total one point one plus another

462
00:29:26,420 --> 00:29:30,580
There's like what union is getting this yeah because it all appears is one union

463
00:29:30,580 --> 00:29:35,000
So I think it's important it was like this is for union. Yeah

464
00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:37,580
And whether or not the community wants to listen,

465
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,440
so maybe after all staff like

466
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:48,760
Comma represented by four unions, which include laborers, steel workers, USW.

467
00:29:48,780 --> 00:29:50,960
But they have more articles in here there.

468
00:29:51,260 --> 00:29:56,180
Right, but that's to, I think the point John's trying to make is those articles

469
00:29:56,180 --> 00:29:57,240
at the spend.

470
00:29:57,340 --> 00:29:58,100
This is the fund.

471
00:29:59,000 --> 00:29:59,980
So it could be unclear.

472
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,780
The public could say probably say, well, you know, what is the use on it?

473
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:13,700
Then you should, you know, be clear, put funding, you know, and then, and the other act was put, you know, to expand, settle.

474
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,760
Well, those articles are particular for this issue, you know, so this is not a question.

475
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:25,580
Yeah, but this is for, after funding, the other ones, the confusion I had, what are we doing here, we just for spending, this is for funding.

476
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,980
This is for spending, this is for funding, this is for funding, this is for funding, this is for funding.

477
00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:36,060
Spend comes out of the each individual order, but what I think to John's point you must have mentioned that what is this the fund

478
00:30:36,060 --> 00:30:40,020
The four unions. Why would I have any problem without this one me clear when the circle's about

479
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:46,860
The fund is the whole use but so please at least brotherhood. I don't know if you want to leave the list. Police brotherhood

480
00:30:46,860 --> 00:30:52,140
I think if you say four unions, somebody's gonna say well, what are the unions right which is set

481
00:30:52,660 --> 00:30:56,620
Which is set aside to resolve contract negotiations for

482
00:30:56,620 --> 00:31:05,360
Maybe just do another sentence after this after the excluding the school department and then say the four unions represent it or the four unions

483
00:31:06,180 --> 00:31:11,540
Yeah, this might be appropriated. Yeah for you, but you know, are police brother

484
00:31:11,540 --> 00:31:13,360
Yeah, yeah

485
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:18,080
Yeah, so that you're just include that's brilliant. Exactly. So it's about as blatant the obvious

486
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:23,500
This is a funding part. Yeah, not a spending out money is being appropriated for

487
00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:26,520
or I would say to settle the contract.

488
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:27,620
What do everyone want to say?

489
00:31:27,740 --> 00:31:29,820
Fundamentally, we should settle the contract.

490
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,020
Do we want to say which one the contract is before you?

491
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:34,640
Yeah.

492
00:31:35,180 --> 00:31:36,500
You have to list the union.

493
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,860
I put like a semi-colon and then list them I would say.

494
00:31:40,140 --> 00:31:41,880
Then you can take out exclusive score.

495
00:31:42,420 --> 00:31:44,300
Please, brotherhood.

496
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,200
Police, brotherhood.

497
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:48,380
Is it still work is scary?

498
00:31:48,380 --> 00:31:49,900
You asked W.

499
00:31:51,900 --> 00:31:53,980
You know, it's still workers or maybe spell it out.

500
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:54,780
Oh, you asked W.

501
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:55,420
You asked W.

502
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,880
You know, it's still workers.

503
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:01,180
Whoops.

504
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:01,820
Yep.

505
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:03,140
Okay.

506
00:32:04,180 --> 00:32:04,960
Missing one.

507
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,220
Dometh Town.

508
00:32:06,220 --> 00:32:07,620
Employee Association.

509
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:08,640
Dometh.

510
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:09,900
T-E-A.

511
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:10,620
Town.

512
00:32:11,020 --> 00:32:12,220
Employee Association.

513
00:32:13,060 --> 00:32:13,240
Police.

514
00:32:15,900 --> 00:32:16,780
And laborers.

515
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:18,580
Laborers.

516
00:32:18,620 --> 00:32:18,860
Yes.

517
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:19,440
Okay.

518
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,220
I will fix my miss spelling.

519
00:32:22,940 --> 00:32:24,080
Okay, thank you, move on.

520
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:25,920
Do you want to read it?

521
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:26,600
You want me to?

522
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:27,540
No, it was.

523
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:28,820
No.

524
00:32:30,980 --> 00:32:32,060
Let's just assume, yes.

525
00:32:33,140 --> 00:32:38,540
All right, so this money is being appropriated.

526
00:32:38,620 --> 00:32:42,940
It's settled contracts for four unions and then in parenthesis, police, brotherhood, United

527
00:32:42,940 --> 00:32:47,120
Steel Workers, Dartmouth Town Employee Association and Laborors.

528
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,780
There you go.

529
00:32:51,780 --> 00:32:57,760
the general laws chapter 40 section five be in a stance of procedure one existing contracts and nearing expiration.

530
00:32:57,940 --> 00:32:59,920
Did you say this money?

531
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:03,360
This is a appropriation.

532
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,360
Oh, this appropriation. Why did you go to money?

533
00:33:05,860 --> 00:33:07,020
Because it doesn't make sense.

534
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,440
That's where.

535
00:33:10,260 --> 00:33:10,440
Okay.

536
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,340
This article appropriates or.

537
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,640
This article appropriates.

538
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:18,700
So what do we want to say?

539
00:33:18,900 --> 00:33:19,120
I'm sorry.

540
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:26,600
So, again, this article is, uh, this article appropriates, uh, what it appropriates funds to settle

541
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:31,140
the contract, is that what the word you want, because no one here did it say, well,

542
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,340
you should put the amount of funds, somehow, however you want to work this sentence.

543
00:33:35,740 --> 00:33:41,920
These funds are, we refer to it as this article that these funds are being appropriated, that's

544
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:42,460
what I said.

545
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:42,760
Right.

546
00:33:43,660 --> 00:33:44,680
That's what it originally said.

547
00:33:44,700 --> 00:33:48,700
Originally said after the excluding school department is that these funds are being,

548
00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:53,820
These funds are appropriated to settle the contracts before unions, do you want to say something different than that?

549
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,900
That's not the first sentence, right?

550
00:33:56,220 --> 00:33:56,320
No.

551
00:33:56,700 --> 00:33:56,880
Okay.

552
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:57,560
Okay, fine.

553
00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:58,740
Yeah.

554
00:33:59,660 --> 00:34:00,840
We can read through it.

555
00:34:00,860 --> 00:34:02,180
I said, we'll get another cancel.

556
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:03,340
Yeah.

557
00:34:03,340 --> 00:34:03,500
Yeah.

558
00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:05,720
And then I'll just fix my.

559
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:06,600
Yeah.

560
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,320
That was a draft.

561
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:09,220
Yeah.

562
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:15,560
It's going to be a draft until we vote on everything and everybody agrees on all the words.

563
00:34:17,020 --> 00:34:17,920
We have time.

564
00:34:19,580 --> 00:34:21,060
Where are we?

565
00:34:21,740 --> 00:34:29,160
Article 4, appropriation to the stabilization fund for long term capital is the figure

566
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,380
$300,000 Act of Gary.

567
00:34:32,980 --> 00:34:34,060
Somebody should approve.

568
00:34:34,700 --> 00:34:35,360
Thank you.

569
00:34:35,720 --> 00:34:35,960
Second.

570
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:38,140
Discussion.

571
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:39,660
Gary, have any comments?

572
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:45,240
Well, this fund, as the committee knows, was established a couple of years ago to address

573
00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:50,920
a lot of the longer-term capital issues that we would have in town and borrowings that we

574
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:51,500
would have in town.

575
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:58,300
We used some of this last year $500,000 for the schools for the fire system that they

576
00:34:58,300 --> 00:34:58,960
had to replace.

577
00:34:59,260 --> 00:35:04,800
We replaced the $500,000 back, so we're asking for an additional $300,000 to be put

578
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,100
in the account, which would bring it to roughly about 1.3 million.

579
00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:16,500
And these are for, again, the longer term, bigger, bigger projects, capital, excuse me,

580
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:20,460
CIPC focuses mainly on those smaller items.

581
00:35:21,380 --> 00:35:23,620
This would be for larger initiatives.

582
00:35:26,250 --> 00:35:29,150
I believe this is also part of my financial policy.

583
00:35:30,890 --> 00:35:34,950
Well, this account is relatively new, newer.

584
00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:46,450
I have the RFA looking over, actually the financial policies, I want to introduce those back into the committee, so if there's any changes that we need to add, we may want to add this because I don't think this was not in the end.

585
00:35:46,690 --> 00:35:54,170
Right, I don't think this was around when the original financial policies for some years ago were established, but we do need to look at those.

586
00:35:54,330 --> 00:35:59,030
I have her looking at them and she's going to come back at least a draft or revisions to that.

587
00:35:59,370 --> 00:36:03,350
So we may have to change this potentially the name.

588
00:36:03,350 --> 00:36:04,490
No, no, no, no, the check-out.

589
00:36:04,510 --> 00:36:07,030
No, this is the war article we're looking at, so no.

590
00:36:07,230 --> 00:36:08,050
Yeah, the name doesn't change.

591
00:36:08,330 --> 00:36:08,650
Good morning.

592
00:36:08,770 --> 00:36:09,650
How are you talking about that?

593
00:36:09,770 --> 00:36:10,510
I'm talking about it.

594
00:36:10,550 --> 00:36:11,650
We're talking about the stabilization.

595
00:36:12,070 --> 00:36:12,950
This is a new funding disorder.

596
00:36:13,750 --> 00:36:13,990
No, no.

597
00:36:13,990 --> 00:36:16,250
This front has been around for about a couple years now.

598
00:36:16,770 --> 00:36:17,810
It's not a new fund.

599
00:36:18,550 --> 00:36:19,210
It's not a new fund.

600
00:36:19,350 --> 00:36:20,390
It's not a new fund.

601
00:36:20,730 --> 00:36:20,790
It's not a financial policy.

602
00:36:20,790 --> 00:36:22,350
It's not a tax law financial policy.

603
00:36:22,570 --> 00:36:23,090
Oh, I see.

604
00:36:23,470 --> 00:36:28,310
So we would want to revise those financial policies to include that we have a long-term capital

605
00:36:28,310 --> 00:36:30,510
stabilization fund and that.

606
00:36:30,510 --> 00:36:31,210
That was my confusion.

607
00:36:31,750 --> 00:36:35,630
Yeah, we're going to, and, and our FAs, looking at that. Okay. I'm going to understand.

608
00:36:35,890 --> 00:36:42,950
Thank you. This is in the second sentence at Capital Meads in, so first in that with period.

609
00:36:43,150 --> 00:36:49,710
And then in front of the next section, right, the goal of this week finished voting on this article.

610
00:36:50,330 --> 00:36:50,730
Oh, my god.

611
00:36:52,490 --> 00:36:53,470
I'm sorry.

612
00:36:54,150 --> 00:36:55,170
Can't you see?

613
00:36:56,330 --> 00:36:58,930
The first thought you was changing the warrant wording.

614
00:36:58,930 --> 00:37:02,650
Maybe next time we've got we've got a boat in it.

615
00:37:02,810 --> 00:37:04,070
We're going to go back.

616
00:37:04,310 --> 00:37:05,610
We're going to go this time.

617
00:37:06,110 --> 00:37:06,650
We're going to go this time.

618
00:37:07,530 --> 00:37:08,930
I have a few.

619
00:37:09,790 --> 00:37:10,910
Sorry, Terri.

620
00:37:11,350 --> 00:37:11,710
Oh, yeah.

621
00:37:12,030 --> 00:37:12,830
I need some.

622
00:37:13,330 --> 00:37:15,350
Anyway, she was much nicer than me, Terri.

623
00:37:16,090 --> 00:37:16,990
Oh, thank you.

624
00:37:18,010 --> 00:37:19,690
We ready to vote.

625
00:37:21,050 --> 00:37:23,290
All in favor of Article 4.

626
00:37:23,650 --> 00:37:24,250
Aye.

627
00:37:24,530 --> 00:37:26,830
Any opposed or extensions?

628
00:37:26,830 --> 00:37:29,970
So, 7, 0, 0, all right, okay.

629
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:36,960
Now, what did you want to do? No. It's a head-on over. And where it says, Major facility and capital needs, we're just not.

630
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:45,420
The second sentence, the end. Yeah, if I see it, put a period after capital needs. Because I think we'd need a lot more money in this, in this,

631
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:56,420
the goal is to find to actually reduce reliance on future borrowing. So I would say, the goal of this appropriation,

632
00:37:56,420 --> 00:37:59,960
of the goal of this stabilization of our list to reduce reliance on

633
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:02,360
future borrowing and less than the impact of a lot of the still

634
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,460
the beginning there is on page of budgets and tax base yeah that's

635
00:38:07,240 --> 00:38:09,520
perfect that was an easy fix

636
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,980
it was an easy fix and don't forget 300,000 is the part of the

637
00:38:12,980 --> 00:38:16,080
block yeah I mean we're I mean we're running when I'm telling you one

638
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,300
point I'll get I think we should actually put in here is the act the

639
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:22,180
exact numbers and I'll get those for next week so we can drop those

640
00:38:22,180 --> 00:38:26,300
exact numbers for the rationale okay you know if it's pennies and

641
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:31,160
you know I think we should probably put the most the current we're post interest to this

642
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,060
these accounts every month and everything so I'll get those exact numbers we can drop those

643
00:38:35,060 --> 00:38:38,540
in next week. That's fine I thought for a minute there you were telling us the numbers in the

644
00:38:38,540 --> 00:38:42,260
Warren. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Just checking.

645
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:47,960
No, I'm just checking. Oh, sure, that's checking. Okay, so article we're back to the Warren.

646
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:53,640
Article five is not ready. I'm assuming seeing a lot of that will be ready on there.

647
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,900
So we won't bother to look at the rationale.

648
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,060
I want six.

649
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:00,520
Six is ready.

650
00:39:01,620 --> 00:39:09,820
Okay, so article six, general by law amendment of chapter 37, section six, revolving funds.

651
00:39:10,220 --> 00:39:12,620
I make a motion to the article.

652
00:39:12,940 --> 00:39:13,500
I'll second.

653
00:39:15,180 --> 00:39:15,700
Discussion.

654
00:39:17,140 --> 00:39:18,200
Little summary for us.

655
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,480
You know, like we went over the last week when a Cody explained,

656
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:30,380
This is mainly for maintenance and repairs of the vehicles, you know, a lot of these vehicles are moving in capital.

657
00:39:30,540 --> 00:39:34,940
We looked at when the chief presented to us the maintenance on these vehicles.

658
00:39:34,940 --> 00:39:41,080
We talked about idle times, and even though these vehicles sit, it's still a drain on the engines.

659
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,520
It's a drain on all the pots and everything.

660
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,380
So we have winter tariffs and these vehicles that we need to address.

661
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,640
So this was set up a revolving fund to capture some of that.

662
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:58,500
The revenue that we build for like details and then be able to spend it on maintenance and what happens to it right now

663
00:39:59,380 --> 00:40:05,740
What happens to the money that comes in from the operations it's through their operation

664
00:40:05,740 --> 00:40:11,000
So if and like you'll see in the police bombs budget you'll see like vehicle repair and maintenance

665
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:16,980
And they're having to pay for all the repair and maintenance out of those vehicles and that gets budget every year

666
00:40:16,980 --> 00:40:18,500
This would keep a closer track.

667
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,840
Think of it as like the bucket, for instance,

668
00:40:21,380 --> 00:40:23,580
when they charge fees, then they go to town

669
00:40:23,580 --> 00:40:26,860
meeting and have to ask for additional fees,

670
00:40:26,860 --> 00:40:31,700
ask for additional to elevate those balances that they can use.

671
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,760
Let's say they bring in $200,000, and they spend $150,

672
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,360
but they really have $200,000 in revenue.

673
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:39,980
We have to go to town meeting to up that amount.

674
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,540
So every year they can spend up to what they bring in

675
00:40:42,540 --> 00:40:42,920
in revenues.

676
00:40:43,420 --> 00:40:44,500
So that's basically what we're trying to do

677
00:40:44,500 --> 00:40:45,860
to set this up as a revolving fund.

678
00:40:45,860 --> 00:40:49,460
So any revenues that we capture on this account strictly will go from vehicle maintenance.

679
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,480
Do they already have a cruiser use fee or is this a new fee that they're adding?

680
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,040
I believe they do, I think this, it's very minimal.

681
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:57,140
Was $10.

682
00:40:58,180 --> 00:40:59,740
Just to get the cruiser.

683
00:41:00,060 --> 00:41:00,080
Yes.

684
00:41:00,180 --> 00:41:01,020
Not the staffing.

685
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,220
And I think they looked around the comparable communities and it's a lot higher in compare

686
00:41:05,620 --> 00:41:06,020
communities.

687
00:41:06,620 --> 00:41:10,200
Is there an admin fee too, or is it just, because I know like, I, I, I had details

688
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:10,800
that matter, boys.

689
00:41:10,980 --> 00:41:15,480
They don't have a cruiser fee, but they have a admin fee, I think it's 10% that they

690
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:21,560
on top is like I guess a processing 10% of the detail amount yeah I had the impression that

691
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:26,320
they're moving forward in some way to look at that fee and yeah they preach it because that's

692
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:32,260
what they said at the select board you think yeah when you think about how many details they're on

693
00:41:32,260 --> 00:41:37,960
tell them you have to do a lot okay add to this account and you know offset the maintenance then why not

694
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:44,500
do it you know yeah definitely any more questions or John yeah Gary not every detail has a cruiser

695
00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:46,000
some of them are personal vehicles.

696
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,520
Is there a personal vehicle?

697
00:41:51,580 --> 00:41:53,620
You mean we're talking about, they don't have a vehicle.

698
00:41:54,140 --> 00:41:56,320
I'd say 50% of them, they bring their own vehicle

699
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,200
to the job site.

700
00:41:58,820 --> 00:42:01,380
So do they get charged a fee when that happens?

701
00:42:03,220 --> 00:42:05,200
The vendor, who would have to check this

702
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:06,320
whether or not they get a cruise, they

703
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,080
recharge a cruise of free, because if that's the case,

704
00:42:08,220 --> 00:42:09,660
the cruise originally isn't there,

705
00:42:10,340 --> 00:42:12,180
they do get charged a detail fee.

706
00:42:12,300 --> 00:42:14,320
I understand that, but if there's no cruise

707
00:42:14,740 --> 00:42:20,320
there. He's going to be charging them. Yeah, I get used to feed from him. Yeah, I'm not sure if they

708
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:25,920
if didn't seem it, it was only. Yeah, I don't have a cruise. If somebody is specifically asked

709
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,700
for a car. Of course, if somebody that, if they ask him for a cruise like, you know,

710
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:34,680
ever source, there's a lot of working town, obviously they're working on utilities, they're using

711
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,820
they're using probably police detail, but yeah, you're right. There are sometimes that you see the

712
00:42:37,820 --> 00:42:41,980
person at many times, it's just, or it's a mix of a person's yeah, sometimes we'll have a cruise

713
00:42:41,980 --> 00:42:48,840
So I think to the John's point, I think now a lot of offices in town, especially in certain

714
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,460
special assignments, they're going to take home cruisers.

715
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,460
So I think they can use that to go to court, they can use that to go to the detail.

716
00:42:55,740 --> 00:43:00,580
But if the person ordering the detail didn't request the cruiser, they still can take it there.

717
00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:02,880
But I don't think you can charge the person for it.

718
00:43:03,100 --> 00:43:03,940
Yeah, they didn't request it.

719
00:43:05,420 --> 00:43:09,360
But we can ask the chief on the detail if it's an idea.

720
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:16,900
If we're actually charging for cruisers of that, if they're using personal use of that.

721
00:43:16,900 --> 00:43:17,380
No, I'm requesting.

722
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:18,900
That's a good point.

723
00:43:19,260 --> 00:43:20,920
Be interesting how they govern that.

724
00:43:21,900 --> 00:43:23,260
Or is it just the flat fee?

725
00:43:23,420 --> 00:43:24,500
Like, did they just charge everybody?

726
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:25,760
Like, and not call it.

727
00:43:25,780 --> 00:43:27,980
But we know that they definitely want it for their fee?

728
00:43:27,980 --> 00:43:28,100
Yeah.

729
00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:30,060
I want them to charge it for their fees.

730
00:43:30,060 --> 00:43:30,140
I want them to charge it for their fees.

731
00:43:30,340 --> 00:43:30,520
Yeah.

732
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,540
Because it was a conversation about how low that was.

733
00:43:35,620 --> 00:43:35,780
Yeah.

734
00:43:35,780 --> 00:43:36,480
I can ask the chief.

735
00:43:36,580 --> 00:43:38,880
I don't know if that would hold up the voting on the warrant.

736
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,560
No, I think I don't think so. I think it's a clarification.

737
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,420
And we can always revise it if we don't get to something.

738
00:43:46,420 --> 00:43:51,480
The way that they track it is when they do the intake, they have a form they fill out.

739
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,500
I think if you ask for a cruiser, they circle that.

740
00:43:53,540 --> 00:43:58,680
Maybe that's how they build the fee only to certain, to certain people who actually ask for it.

741
00:44:00,220 --> 00:44:01,600
Just some clarification.

742
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:06,000
Yeah, we're only voting whether or not they're going to create a police cruiser revolving.

743
00:44:06,180 --> 00:44:07,560
Yeah, I think we all get it.

744
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:15,440
If you're saving, I would say, if I don't know if it's on auto-save, I've noticed the lights are lights for like a little bit.

745
00:44:15,660 --> 00:44:17,880
I'm just automatic. I'm just automatic. I'm just automatic.

746
00:44:18,060 --> 00:44:18,180
I'm just automatic.

747
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,000
But now they say it out to double set.

748
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:22,080
The battery's running off.

749
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,120
No. Well, I'm not on power here anyway.

750
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:25,780
Okay.

751
00:44:27,020 --> 00:44:28,280
Are we ready to vote?

752
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,320
All in favor of Article 6.

753
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:32,280
Hi.

754
00:44:32,420 --> 00:44:35,360
Hi. Any opposed or abstentions?

755
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,320
So, 7-0, 2-0, and

756
00:44:41,530 --> 00:44:43,970
we're actually out, we'll be...

757
00:44:43,970 --> 00:44:46,570
I don't think it's much to talk about, but...

758
00:44:47,590 --> 00:44:47,990
Anyway...

759
00:44:47,990 --> 00:44:48,750
This is what I wrote.

760
00:44:54,010 --> 00:44:55,150
Yeah, that seems like it's...

761
00:44:55,150 --> 00:44:55,490
Yeah.

762
00:44:55,670 --> 00:44:56,510
Pretty good.

763
00:44:58,010 --> 00:44:58,610
Yeah, that's true.

764
00:44:58,890 --> 00:44:59,270
Yeah, good.

765
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:00,260
Good.

766
00:45:02,550 --> 00:45:04,930
It's a winner. Yeah.

767
00:45:05,810 --> 00:45:11,490
Alrighty. Article 7, we're ready to vote on, is that correct? Yes.

768
00:45:11,870 --> 00:45:18,430
So Article 7, appropriation and authorization to borrow for Route 6 Water Main.

769
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:20,720
Motion?

770
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:26,300
Make a motion. That's a motion. Bill 2, discussion, Gary.

771
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,980
This gives us the authorization to borrow, obviously, if we were going to do something

772
00:45:30,980 --> 00:45:36,940
to be, you know, bands at first, but we also talked about maybe using some available funds

773
00:45:36,940 --> 00:45:44,040
and not having to go up for the 1.6 million in, you know, the entire amount, but we still

774
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,500
haven't, we don't know yet, we're still looking at that, but this just gives us new authorization

775
00:45:47,500 --> 00:45:48,220
tomorrow.

776
00:45:48,700 --> 00:45:49,320
Just a little more.

777
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:50,120
Just a little more.

778
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:50,240
Just a little more.

779
00:45:50,740 --> 00:45:50,940
Just a little more.

780
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:54,840
Just a little more.

781
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:58,720
That's how I mean, the clarify where the money is going to be coming from.

782
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,240
Well, it would be the authorization.

783
00:46:02,020 --> 00:46:04,220
Yeah, but what fun would you take it from?

784
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,760
Well, this is what this is what I mean.

785
00:46:07,420 --> 00:46:10,660
So I'm not sure if they said it was going to be,

786
00:46:10,720 --> 00:46:12,600
well, that's my point.

787
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,780
Because they said it was going to be, I don't think it's water.

788
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:17,260
I don't think it's water, I don't know if it's water.

789
00:46:17,260 --> 00:46:20,100
You're not going to take it out in any enterprise form.

790
00:46:20,260 --> 00:46:21,260
You know, it's being borrowed.

791
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:22,200
Yeah.

792
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,680
If we were to take it from available revenues, either way, we can find out where it's going to come from.

793
00:46:28,700 --> 00:46:33,140
Either retain earnings from the, from the, from the enterprise funds or general fund free cash.

794
00:46:33,340 --> 00:46:38,380
Because if someone asks you, exactly, you need to clarify where we would have come from.

795
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:44,020
Again, we think it's going to be a little bit less than this.

796
00:46:44,260 --> 00:46:50,100
But we budget, we're asking for 1.6, but again we, we'll get the detail on someone,

797
00:46:50,100 --> 00:46:51,140
What's someone asked about?

798
00:46:51,140 --> 00:46:51,560
Oh, yeah.

799
00:46:51,580 --> 00:46:52,020
What does it mean?

800
00:46:52,220 --> 00:46:53,340
And is this the...

801
00:46:53,340 --> 00:46:58,860
This is the project that we will be saving because it's incorporated with mass

802
00:46:58,860 --> 00:47:00,480
thoughts, project already?

803
00:47:01,340 --> 00:47:03,980
So we don't have to pay for all of the digging and paving.

804
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,080
It's, you know, we need to do this anyway.

805
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:10,820
So why not do it, you know, kind of on mass thoughts, dive partially and save, you know,

806
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:11,500
the town money.

807
00:47:12,380 --> 00:47:12,860
Yeah, the shock.

808
00:47:13,660 --> 00:47:15,940
And also we talked about early pay downs on this.

809
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:16,780
Yeah.

810
00:47:16,780 --> 00:47:18,840
on the band of the piece. I'm like, no, it should be mentioned.

811
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:20,940
Right, so Patrick's point, that should be mentioned too.

812
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:22,880
Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't want to do that.

813
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:24,740
Is it in the, oh, we have a bunch of evidence, yeah.

814
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:29,400
Are we ready to vote on Article 7?

815
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,260
All in favor of Article 7.

816
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:38,340
I, I, any opposed or abstentions of 7000.

817
00:47:45,420 --> 00:47:48,480
The only thing I put in there that I thought was certainly a critical point.

818
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:52,940
And obviously, you can edit it far more than what I'm going to say is the fact

819
00:47:52,940 --> 00:47:56,780
that it didn't say where it was. So I put that in there. Okay.

820
00:48:08,910 --> 00:48:12,730
Maybe something that says I can in conjunction with the

821
00:48:12,730 --> 00:48:15,530
messed up. Now it's dark. Roger. Yeah. Yeah.

822
00:48:15,530 --> 00:48:16,410
Well, it's a good idea.

823
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,860
Can you junction with the mass project?

824
00:48:23,100 --> 00:48:24,140
Mass, dark.

825
00:48:24,140 --> 00:48:24,460
Mass.

826
00:48:24,860 --> 00:48:25,320
Do you know what you do?

827
00:48:25,380 --> 00:48:25,840
Do you know what you do?

828
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:26,660
Oh, I'm there.

829
00:48:26,860 --> 00:48:27,520
Follow the transportation.

830
00:48:28,580 --> 00:48:32,320
I know that we asked the question last week, and the select board

831
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,740
asked the same, like, or a codie, brought it off on Monday night.

832
00:48:35,740 --> 00:48:39,740
It's just not have anything to do with the forty-be project that long.

833
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:42,980
Um, not that we have to say that.

834
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,180
Yeah, no, I wouldn't say that.

835
00:48:44,180 --> 00:48:44,740
Yeah, I'm just saying.

836
00:48:44,940 --> 00:48:45,160
It doesn't.

837
00:48:45,540 --> 00:48:47,140
It was already in one hour.

838
00:48:47,180 --> 00:48:48,420
It was already being planned.

839
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:48,660
Right.

840
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:50,900
I thought about incorporating it.

841
00:48:50,980 --> 00:48:51,380
It was our plan.

842
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,940
I couldn't think of how the sentence would go, so.

843
00:48:54,380 --> 00:48:56,740
I've done all you just letting Patrick do it.

844
00:48:58,220 --> 00:48:59,120
He's the only one.

845
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:00,880
He's the only one.

846
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:01,040
He's the only one.

847
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:01,900
He's the only one.

848
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:03,060
He's the only one.

849
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:04,020
He's the only one.

850
00:49:04,020 --> 00:49:08,240
inside on the language. Instead of saying the water main project, at the intersection of

851
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:12,120
the right road, we would told that it was a project from Fonsecon Road to the right

852
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:18,140
road. So why don't we better root six water main project in the vicinity of Fonsecon

853
00:49:18,140 --> 00:49:23,160
Road and the right road? Okay, good. Better detail. Yep, projects. In the vicinity of all

854
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:27,420
a little bit farther. That's fine. Because otherwise, you know, you know, you

855
00:49:27,420 --> 00:49:31,380
know how some of the warrant articles are. They're incredibly vague. I like to

856
00:49:32,420 --> 00:49:38,420
It's not necessarily our job to explain every word article in the rationale, right?

857
00:49:38,940 --> 00:49:44,320
Because we have, you know, people on stage that, well, that's the job stuff that we've got it.

858
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:45,440
I think it is.

859
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:45,780
I don't know.

860
00:49:45,900 --> 00:49:49,060
I just like, you know, we're not from people.

861
00:49:49,300 --> 00:49:49,340
Yeah.

862
00:49:53,060 --> 00:49:55,220
I guarantee you, someone will still ask.

863
00:49:55,460 --> 00:49:56,760
Of course.

864
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:58,540
That's life, that's life.

865
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:04,810
I know we like to think that they're reading these rationales,

866
00:50:04,810 --> 00:50:09,690
popped a bottom back to front word for word we could quiz on them, but

867
00:50:09,690 --> 00:50:14,130
I mean when I was a town meeting member, I always know

868
00:50:14,670 --> 00:50:19,090
Some do yeah, I think most do maybe not until they arrive

869
00:50:19,090 --> 00:50:22,910
Others are hoping those envelopes open as they plucked down in the seats

870
00:50:22,910 --> 00:50:25,810
Let me read it

871
00:50:27,130 --> 00:50:30,110
What they think should be read something of that nature okay

872
00:50:32,010 --> 00:50:33,650
Would you like to read it out loud?

873
00:50:33,650 --> 00:50:38,710
Yeah, this project would run in conjunction with a math dot project in the area with math dot

874
00:50:39,430 --> 00:50:44,610
of absorbing some of the construction costs rather than the town paying for it in its entirety.

875
00:50:45,570 --> 00:50:49,030
I'm assuming you left in the to borrow up to 1.6.

876
00:50:49,050 --> 00:50:49,790
That whole, yeah.

877
00:50:50,710 --> 00:50:51,990
Just check it.

878
00:50:53,250 --> 00:50:53,530
Yeah.

879
00:50:53,810 --> 00:50:55,070
But no, that's good detail to have.

880
00:50:56,690 --> 00:50:58,750
And then also John's ended up with a,

881
00:50:58,930 --> 00:50:59,730
all right.

882
00:51:04,210 --> 00:51:09,330
So up higher, let me just read the whole thing, so that you see how it flows, because there is more up above.

883
00:51:09,670 --> 00:51:20,710
This article authorizes the town to borrow up to 1.6 million for the construction of water mains and related costs for the root six water main project in the vicinity of funds corner road and happily road.

884
00:51:20,710 --> 00:51:26,950
The investment will support necessary improvements to the town's water infrastructure and help maintain a reliable public water system.

885
00:51:27,570 --> 00:51:35,270
This project would run in conjunction with a mass.project in the area with mass.absorbing some of the construction costs rather than the town paying for it in its entirety.

886
00:51:35,690 --> 00:51:36,150
Oh, great.

887
00:51:36,390 --> 00:51:39,010
I think that actually sounds very good.

888
00:51:39,110 --> 00:51:39,710
Thank you.

889
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,640
Back to Article H.

890
00:51:49,060 --> 00:51:49,560
Article H.

891
00:51:52,980 --> 00:51:53,540
What?

892
00:51:53,540 --> 00:52:02,080
x is in there, we'll be right, Article 9, Article 9, Article 9, Article 10, Article 10,

893
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:14,780
Article 11, yes, Article 11 to service provider license, so I want to make a motion.

894
00:52:15,220 --> 00:52:20,420
I make a motion, perhaps our motion to approve is written.

895
00:52:20,420 --> 00:52:22,200
I was very happy.

896
00:52:24,620 --> 00:52:25,320
Discussion.

897
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,560
Gary, have any deep thoughts?

898
00:52:29,780 --> 00:52:29,960
I think.

899
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:41,100
I think that the article explained the, you know, about rotation schedules for the top companies and, and such, I mean, it's pretty detail.

900
00:52:41,260 --> 00:52:47,140
And if you read it says, the chief of police, give the authority that chief of the police to do that.

901
00:52:47,300 --> 00:52:48,600
I don't know if you want to go down.

902
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:53,900
I summarized a lot of that rationale, because yes, this is like a page of description.

903
00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:04,660
I just had a question, I just didn't know I'm two things, one is if we know why it's limited to six licenses.

904
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:12,540
Like if there's a bunch of companies in the area, we kind of like precluding, you know, people leaving them out.

905
00:53:13,660 --> 00:53:17,380
And also, is there any fee for the license, I see it renews every year?

906
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:23,520
I don't know if there's any fee involved and it's in the writing of it, but if they have to like apply to operate in town,

907
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:29,560
Should there be some sort of fee for them to do that every year since they're benefiting monetarily from you know the toes in town

908
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:35,360
I can check on the fee. Okay. It does a fee. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what I don't know. I know it says six

909
00:53:36,340 --> 00:53:40,640
Six some yeah, total companies. I'm not sure how many total companies are really in the immediate area

910
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,780
I know this is one of the West Point

911
00:53:42,780 --> 00:53:43,980
We got a couple of dollars

912
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:49,780
We don't know but the selection process will be honestly, but so I could find a genfie is

913
00:53:50,620 --> 00:53:53,280
Yeah, because I know like for the state police they had a big scandal

914
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:58,760
about like how they were selecting the people for the list and then became it they had to overhaul the whole process

915
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:00,160
I mean they they love scandals

916
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,100
Well, they look like cities like I mean Providence for instance

917
00:54:03,100 --> 00:54:09,520
It would always be the same co-toe company always saying toe company that's been being called so I think it I think it

918
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:14,800
Eliminates a lot of favoritism if you will yeah, and kind of broadens it a little bit and gives the chief of police the discretion to

919
00:54:15,820 --> 00:54:18,800
Make that right so I'm back into bed for the same thing

920
00:54:19,700 --> 00:54:22,620
Well, now they have a list and it's next on the list unless it's operated

921
00:54:22,620 --> 00:54:26,860
I remember that a few years ago, who was a scandal about that.

922
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:29,760
Ready to vote?

923
00:54:30,860 --> 00:54:30,880
Yep.

924
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:32,620
All in favor of article 11.

925
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:33,140
Hi.

926
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,620
Any opposed or abstentions?

927
00:54:37,580 --> 00:54:38,220
70.

928
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:41,300
Let's see.

929
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,060
That is article 11.

930
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:43,600
Skipping.

931
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:44,080
Skipping.

932
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:45,380
Okay.

933
00:55:06,420 --> 00:55:07,760
Patrick doesn't need any more detail.

934
00:55:08,180 --> 00:55:09,560
I think you've summarized it well.

935
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:10,460
Yeah.

936
00:55:11,620 --> 00:55:15,200
I said it took a page of whatever, or it's down to.

937
00:55:15,380 --> 00:55:18,480
Hopefully something people understand, and you know that there will be questions.

938
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:19,180
I'm sure.

939
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:40,460
Article 12, Water Department Rules and Regulations.

940
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,420
Somebody want to make a motion.

941
00:55:44,660 --> 00:55:45,460
I'll make a motion.

942
00:55:45,700 --> 00:55:46,460
Very mixed motion.

943
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:47,320
I have to second.

944
00:55:47,980 --> 00:55:48,620
I'll have to.

945
00:55:48,660 --> 00:55:49,700
I'll take a.

946
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:50,260
There.

947
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:51,520
There.

948
00:55:54,900 --> 00:55:55,620
Gary any.

949
00:55:55,620 --> 00:56:08,040
I think it gives the Board of Public Works the authority to make changes to the rules and regulations, as far as being the operations for Board of Sour, Trash, so on and so forth.

950
00:56:08,700 --> 00:56:10,440
Right now he has to go to the select board.

951
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:11,660
No.

952
00:56:12,060 --> 00:56:13,920
Oh, it had to go to town meeting.

953
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:14,980
It was old.

954
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:19,200
There was old bylaws, something that ended up where everything had to go to town meeting.

955
00:56:19,380 --> 00:56:20,200
This is better.

956
00:56:20,700 --> 00:56:25,540
And you have the five person, the first one, yes, it's much better.

957
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,580
I'm assuming we just married, I think, at the last time, meeting at the one before that,

958
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:35,720
a change to how regulations can be changed.

959
00:56:35,720 --> 00:56:39,780
It has to be noted by 90 or 20 days of education.

960
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:40,660
The clerk.

961
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:42,020
Right.

962
00:56:42,020 --> 00:56:45,660
And to the uses of, yes, yes.

963
00:56:45,700 --> 00:56:48,100
Well, this fall under that umbrella.

964
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:52,060
We need changes to the water regulations. We'll have to be

965
00:56:53,460 --> 00:56:55,840
given whatever it is on the 20 day notice.

966
00:56:56,340 --> 00:56:59,420
Yeah, I would see that it would probably would because

967
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,980
there should be no distinction between the general fund fees that we collect

968
00:57:03,980 --> 00:57:06,100
or any other price funds.

969
00:57:07,380 --> 00:57:08,100
I think it does too.

970
00:57:08,300 --> 00:57:09,720
We could say a fee as a fee.

971
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:10,460
That's exactly.

972
00:57:10,860 --> 00:57:12,020
Cover the entire town.

973
00:57:12,540 --> 00:57:13,440
Any border areas?

974
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:14,720
Change the regulations.

975
00:57:15,420 --> 00:57:16,920
Has to give notice.

976
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:21,020
notice and can't vote for that change for her ex amount of days.

977
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,260
I'm assuming this would fall on to that.

978
00:57:24,900 --> 00:57:25,240
Yeah.

979
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:26,840
Do you want me to have an excellent memory?

980
00:57:27,580 --> 00:57:28,280
Yeah, that was done.

981
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:29,620
Does that last time?

982
00:57:29,620 --> 00:57:29,900
I don't know.

983
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:30,560
Last time meeting.

984
00:57:31,260 --> 00:57:33,060
It was within the year.

985
00:57:33,500 --> 00:57:33,600
Yeah.

986
00:57:34,180 --> 00:57:34,200
Yeah.

987
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:34,920
I don't know.

988
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:36,200
It has to be posted with the clerk.

989
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:36,940
Yeah.

990
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:38,860
I remember that.

991
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,180
And that was the grace period in fall.

992
00:57:40,380 --> 00:57:40,600
Yes.

993
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:41,520
Yep.

994
00:57:42,780 --> 00:57:42,880
Yeah.

995
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,820
My understanding of this was that it really eliminated the town meeting portion.

996
00:57:46,820 --> 00:57:48,660
That's good, that's helpful.

997
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:50,600
Are we ready to vote?

998
00:57:51,260 --> 00:57:51,280
Yeah.

999
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:52,940
I want a favor of Article 12.

1000
00:57:53,060 --> 00:57:53,340
Hi.

1001
00:57:53,340 --> 00:57:54,160
Hi, everybody.

1002
00:57:54,220 --> 00:57:56,260
Any opposed or abstentions?

1003
00:57:58,160 --> 00:57:58,480
70.

1004
00:57:59,180 --> 00:57:59,320
0.

1005
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:01,340
Article 12.

1006
00:58:10,210 --> 00:58:17,930
I think to mention something about what John said that it still requires notification to citizens.

1007
00:58:18,130 --> 00:58:20,770
They can't just change it immediately at the same time.

1008
00:58:22,990 --> 00:58:25,050
I don't know if we have to put it in.

1009
00:58:25,050 --> 00:58:26,730
I think it's set next to him from now on.

1010
00:58:26,930 --> 00:58:30,770
I think it's a simple clarification from council to somebody that...

1011
00:58:32,370 --> 00:58:35,150
For our next meeting, you say, yes, they have to follow the same process.

1012
00:58:35,430 --> 00:58:36,870
I don't know if we have to put it in.

1013
00:58:37,470 --> 00:58:38,410
No one has to follow it.

1014
00:58:38,550 --> 00:58:40,950
I think it should be clarified for...

1015
00:58:40,950 --> 00:58:41,090
Yeah.

1016
00:58:41,490 --> 00:58:42,210
I know for me.

1017
00:58:43,350 --> 00:58:44,030
No, no.

1018
00:58:44,090 --> 00:58:47,030
We're going to take the power away from town meeting and give it to the board.

1019
00:58:47,290 --> 00:58:49,490
Okay, but you still have to have some sort of process.

1020
00:58:50,590 --> 00:58:53,830
I just want to make sure we're not circumvent what we just did.

1021
00:58:53,990 --> 00:58:55,150
No, that was a good question.

1022
00:58:55,410 --> 00:58:59,410
I don't know, so I think, as I said before, that we have to explain every warrant on that

1023
00:58:59,410 --> 00:59:00,450
level of detail.

1024
00:59:00,970 --> 00:59:06,150
Because somebody's going to ask him, we have a whole board of people on stage to answer

1025
00:59:06,770 --> 00:59:07,210
it.

1026
00:59:08,070 --> 00:59:09,430
We'd follow general procedure.

1027
00:59:09,430 --> 00:59:12,030
For example, general procedure.

1028
00:59:14,030 --> 00:59:14,230
Yeah.

1029
00:59:14,670 --> 00:59:17,410
So I write that in in block for now, change it with follow.

1030
00:59:17,410 --> 00:59:19,010
Yeah, something about general procedures.

1031
00:59:19,490 --> 00:59:20,230
General procedure.

1032
00:59:20,350 --> 00:59:21,110
That's good.

1033
00:59:21,210 --> 00:59:21,270
That's good.

1034
00:59:22,510 --> 00:59:23,110
Who's that?

1035
00:59:23,290 --> 00:59:23,950
We'll be all right.

1036
00:59:24,130 --> 00:59:24,450
procedure.

1037
00:59:24,930 --> 00:59:26,070
No, that would be.

1038
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:34,580
That's it.

1039
00:59:34,580 --> 00:59:36,040
Any changes with follow general procedure?

1040
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:36,940
I'm going to be the whole thing.

1041
00:59:37,100 --> 00:59:38,400
No, that's just the last sentence.

1042
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:39,480
That's fine.

1043
00:59:40,780 --> 00:59:42,820
We'll put you on the spot to read the entire paragraph.

1044
00:59:43,100 --> 00:59:43,680
I don't mind.

1045
00:59:45,420 --> 00:59:45,860
All right.

1046
00:59:46,020 --> 00:59:46,600
Where are we?

1047
00:59:46,660 --> 00:59:48,120
Article 13.

1048
00:59:48,660 --> 00:59:49,720
We're good to go.

1049
00:59:49,780 --> 00:59:50,060
Yeah.

1050
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:51,720
Article 13.

1051
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,820
Updates to non-criminal fines for regulations.

1052
00:59:54,820 --> 00:59:57,940
of the Board of Health and Board of Public Works.

1053
00:59:58,780 --> 00:59:59,440
To have a motion.

1054
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,000
Motion to approve the article and full as we're in. I was seconded.

1055
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:29,980
Comments or thoughts, Gary? So this is to really crack down on these inhalants that, you know, that, typically, you see the younger generation using the nitrous oxide and things like that. So very dangerous. And so the, you know, we heard from Chris Micho, who, obviously the director of Board of Health's concern, was that a lot of these establishments in town, they would go in.

1056
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:36,760
pretty much do a single back and then be back on the shelves again so this allows them to actually

1057
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:43,000
find them, find them, if they go back and catch them with their product. So it just puts

1058
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:44,500
a lot more teeth and regulation.

1059
01:00:48,020 --> 01:00:53,140
Yeah, interesting discussion last week about what these products are.

1060
01:00:53,620 --> 01:00:53,760
Yeah.

1061
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,120
Are we ready to vote?

1062
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:56,460
Yeah.

1063
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:58,860
All in favor of Article 13.

1064
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:05,440
Any opposed or abstentions? No, 7000.

1065
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:30,820
I would just say a three-on-and-a-dollar fine for each violation pretty clear in the year, but I don't put an hour

1066
01:01:30,820 --> 01:01:33,660
I'll just put in for each for each violation

1067
01:01:36,260 --> 01:01:36,780
Good,

1068
01:01:40,260 --> 01:01:41,560
Carrie, you want to read that

1069
01:01:47,130 --> 01:01:54,740
okay back to the warrant article 14 so 14 if the committee wants to wait

1070
01:01:54,740 --> 01:01:58,000
I don't have the action well I don't have the act we can vote you can the

1071
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,060
committee can vote on it but as far as detail I don't have the job description

1072
01:02:01,060 --> 01:02:05,200
for the beach manager with me okay if you want to know what the duties and responsibilities

1073
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:10,260
would be for the beach manager I'd like to think parks and wrecks can come up with

1074
01:02:10,260 --> 01:02:11,600
for their position.

1075
01:02:14,420 --> 01:02:17,260
Anybody have any questions on it?

1076
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:18,060
No.

1077
01:02:18,780 --> 01:02:19,740
Ready to vote?

1078
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:22,460
Actually hang on.

1079
01:02:22,500 --> 01:02:23,100
I have one question.

1080
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:23,600
That's a question.

1081
01:02:24,340 --> 01:02:24,960
No, no.

1082
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:25,360
I got that.

1083
01:02:25,460 --> 01:02:27,960
But I remember the question that came up at the select board meeting.

1084
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,020
This is an additional position, not.

1085
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:32,620
So I don't know what they have.

1086
01:02:32,660 --> 01:02:33,920
We'll say they have 10 employees.

1087
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:35,520
So now they have 11.

1088
01:02:36,900 --> 01:02:42,660
So they couldn't take one of their existing ten employees and make one of those the beach manager.

1089
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:44,940
Okay. Was that posed to them?

1090
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,340
I don't know what the discussion was.

1091
01:02:47,340 --> 01:02:49,140
Is that was the discussion of the select board?

1092
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:50,600
Yes.

1093
01:02:51,340 --> 01:02:54,920
But if the committee wants clarification, we can get it.

1094
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,940
Just for me clarification is

1095
01:02:58,940 --> 01:03:03,960
Somebody, they're going to write a job description for this beach minute title.

1096
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,040
Somebody's doing it now.

1097
01:03:07,420 --> 01:03:10,440
So where does that role fall into now?

1098
01:03:10,620 --> 01:03:14,460
Why all of them do we need a separate role for some of these?

1099
01:03:14,820 --> 01:03:23,200
Well, the comment was managed in whether it's the head-life guide or the pack supervisor or the director.

1100
01:03:24,060 --> 01:03:25,180
Somebody's doing it now.

1101
01:03:25,180 --> 01:03:31,810
The thought was that no one was doing it now, that I guess there were comments complaints whatever you want to call them that

1102
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,700
They weren't being managed

1103
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:43,300
Just meeting when I heard this is a little disturbing game. Is it somebody's job current should be so not something

1104
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:49,000
Well, they don't have that title. I don't want to say it

1105
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:55,160
Or the pay scale. I don't know the pay. I get the committee the actual job description if they want to

1106
01:03:55,160 --> 01:04:00,080
That was my comment because I thought it was a good comment. Why did they need another employee to do this?

1107
01:04:00,260 --> 01:04:02,860
Why can't when they hire? Because they hire every year correct?

1108
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:10,520
Right? Every year they hire. So when they hire, they're 10 employees. Why don't they just take number 10 and make or

1109
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:16,720
Who's ever appropriately, you know, has the skill? Can be the manager? Why do they now need 11 employees?

1110
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:21,560
I know you can't. I don't know if that question. That's just me rattling on.

1111
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:27,780
wondering why they're trying to get another employee? Because you just hire somebody that has

1112
01:04:27,780 --> 01:04:32,940
the skill set required to manage the other, I know they're all young. But yeah, I think

1113
01:04:32,940 --> 01:04:36,460
they're really being managed. And somebody's handing out their hours and what they're

1114
01:04:37,580 --> 01:04:40,840
whether they're going to be reporting each day which beast they're going to. So, some

1115
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:45,320
they're not managing their behavior at the time. But I think it's what it's about.

1116
01:04:45,460 --> 01:04:50,400
That means behaving at the beach. I'm just saying from the complaints and comments, I've seen

1117
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:57,340
that's the comment. But there's a go-to. Correct. Yeah, of course they're getting assignments.

1118
01:04:58,060 --> 01:05:00,240
There's a person that's going to hand them out. There's a question.

1119
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:05,980
Park and recreation department that, you know, they're not being be even properly, whatever.

1120
01:05:06,940 --> 01:05:09,080
But I will put you in charge, Bill.

1121
01:05:11,820 --> 01:05:16,080
We won't have you out of that course. I obviously don't know what I'm not there.

1122
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:23,230
life goes to doing that or so they're so bad, or maybe what they're not doing. They're doing this.

1123
01:05:25,340 --> 01:05:29,840
They don't really know, but I'll just need to have some comments. Yeah, I'm once again.

1124
01:05:30,140 --> 01:05:31,880
Obviously, I'm not the only one watching.

1125
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:44,100
I don't know whether or not they need a beach manager. I'll let Parks and Recs determine that because that's what they do.

1126
01:05:44,100 --> 01:05:47,360
I'm determining why they need another employee to do it.

1127
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:48,640
Yeah, that's all I'm asking.

1128
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:52,700
Can we get that answer?

1129
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:53,400
Yeah, I can.

1130
01:05:54,700 --> 01:05:56,160
Because I suggest we wait then.

1131
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:58,380
Because I'd like to know, because it's like what asked.

1132
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:00,340
Okay, yeah, we can hold off on that.

1133
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:04,480
I get the question from who's role is it now?

1134
01:06:04,980 --> 01:06:05,800
It's going to be.

1135
01:06:05,860 --> 01:06:08,400
All right, so who's role is it now?

1136
01:06:09,500 --> 01:06:12,020
Employees misbehaved everywhere in every place.

1137
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:13,720
Somebody's responsible.

1138
01:06:14,100 --> 01:06:15,180
That's correct.

1139
01:06:15,380 --> 01:06:16,360
And who's here tonight?

1140
01:06:17,060 --> 01:06:18,060
There's a future facility.

1141
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,100
We'll get some clarification on the structure.

1142
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:20,940
That's who's here.

1143
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:21,800
All right.

1144
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:22,880
All right.

1145
01:06:23,460 --> 01:06:24,560
We'll see these complaints.

1146
01:06:25,180 --> 01:06:25,720
We'll hold off on.

1147
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:28,120
Hold.

1148
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:30,220
Article 15.

1149
01:06:30,780 --> 01:06:37,440
So, Article 15 is, as you know, from the historic storm that we had, there were issues with mainly,

1150
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,920
you know, root six areas, some other parts in town.

1151
01:06:40,460 --> 01:06:48,180
Snow removal on sidewalks. This kind of addresses that. I believe this was also brought up at the last town meeting.

1152
01:06:48,580 --> 01:06:56,520
It certainly was. I was very interesting. Before we get too far into it, we could just make a motion to discuss our good.

1153
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,260
Make a motion. I will second that.

1154
01:06:59,940 --> 01:07:07,080
So yes, I felt like it was 30 minutes, but I'm probably exaggerating how long that discussion was.

1155
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:08,840
So, they made changes to it, obviously.

1156
01:07:10,180 --> 01:07:10,660
I don't know.

1157
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:11,980
What changes?

1158
01:07:14,100 --> 01:07:15,500
Are we ready to vote?

1159
01:07:17,820 --> 01:07:20,220
Let me think about this for one second.

1160
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,080
The board is like when I believe on Monday night

1161
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:25,760
made a adjustment to this.

1162
01:07:25,780 --> 01:07:28,160
Okay. They talked about it too.

1163
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:29,980
Yeah, but I wanted to do like...

1164
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:36,440
I don't want to say like a, like a first fence and then change maybe change that.

1165
01:07:36,540 --> 01:07:41,660
Oh, yeah. So let's hold off on this and we may want to clean this up a little bit.

1166
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:50,120
I know just going back to town meeting and even our discussion long before, that it was never

1167
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:55,400
intended to like completely target people and end up bringing them to court and all that, that

1168
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:57,740
that there would be some leeway.

1169
01:07:58,040 --> 01:07:58,580
But I really like it.

1170
01:07:58,580 --> 01:08:00,120
I didn't even carry me at a good point last year,

1171
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:01,160
about like elderly.

1172
01:08:01,860 --> 01:08:04,600
Yeah, that was actually my only concern was that,

1173
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,060
you know, if this is gonna affect the elderly

1174
01:08:07,060 --> 01:08:09,240
in some way, that they're not not doing it

1175
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:13,480
because they're not doing it because they can't do it, right?

1176
01:08:13,620 --> 01:08:15,260
So then that doesn't really solve the problem

1177
01:08:15,260 --> 01:08:17,080
to find them if they're already on it.

1178
01:08:17,100 --> 01:08:18,420
But I don't know if that's the issue,

1179
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:20,160
maybe that's not even the issue.

1180
01:08:21,100 --> 01:08:22,220
I think it's the businesses.

1181
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:30,420
You know, during that's like a lot of the storm to no one shovels this I'd walk on so come out in the big box doors and roof six and

1182
01:08:30,420 --> 01:08:35,620
You know, I don't think it was specifically the targets. It was just basically because that was really historic and

1183
01:08:35,620 --> 01:08:37,580
You know, we had people walking on the highway

1184
01:08:37,580 --> 01:08:39,220
And actually because they had the sidewalks

1185
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:41,460
It was a public safety

1186
01:08:41,460 --> 01:08:43,180
I thought it was not the safety

1187
01:08:43,180 --> 01:08:46,120
It was the proximity of the schools and mile

1188
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:47,220
Yeah, yeah

1189
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:48,560
Yeah

1190
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:53,520
So there's the fee structure the way they wrote it now is it's only like 20

1191
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:55,900
Okay, I'm sick and it's actually in my rationale, I think.

1192
01:08:56,180 --> 01:09:10,160
I think it was 25 dollars for non-compliance with higher fines going to commercial properties and properties within one mile of a public school.

1193
01:09:11,100 --> 01:09:13,020
That's the change that was put in this.

1194
01:09:13,260 --> 01:09:15,920
I don't know, as you said, there was something else that was seen.

1195
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,680
I would say we just hold off on a little mixed meeting.

1196
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:21,600
And then, of course, the fact that, you know,

1197
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:26,660
it doesn't go into effect until after this declared snow emergency.

1198
01:09:28,440 --> 01:09:32,560
It's not like, you know, one minute after stops falling.

1199
01:09:33,180 --> 01:09:34,520
All right, sure, sure.

1200
01:09:34,820 --> 01:09:37,940
Anyway, wait, because it's Gary said they might be a change.

1201
01:09:39,140 --> 01:09:44,620
All right, Article 16 amendment to fines for domestic animal violations

1202
01:09:44,620 --> 01:09:46,280
to the motion.

1203
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:49,100
Oh, I'll make a motion.

1204
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:49,800
All second.

1205
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:52,080
Thank you.

1206
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:53,720
Comments, Gary.

1207
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:57,540
I mean, I think that this right here is just, you know,

1208
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:04,760
there was some instances in town where there was some really bad dog bites

1209
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:06,160
and people got hurt.

1210
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:07,340
I think this cleans up the regulations.

1211
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:08,560
And loose cows.

1212
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:08,920
Yes.

1213
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:10,480
loose cows.

1214
01:10:10,980 --> 01:10:11,180
Down there.

1215
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:11,920
Oh yeah.

1216
01:10:17,540 --> 01:10:20,260
It goes from a slap on the wrist to a little bit.

1217
01:10:20,260 --> 01:10:21,040
Yeah, a little more.

1218
01:10:22,100 --> 01:10:22,540
Yeah.

1219
01:10:23,700 --> 01:10:23,940
Right.

1220
01:10:24,540 --> 01:10:25,240
And it's per animal.

1221
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:26,560
Yes.

1222
01:10:27,060 --> 01:10:27,280
Yeah.

1223
01:10:28,020 --> 01:10:28,920
20 cows get out.

1224
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:29,400
Good luck.

1225
01:10:29,780 --> 01:10:31,320
Wouldn't be the first time I'm driving home.

1226
01:10:31,420 --> 01:10:34,740
And I have to stop and try to get a cow off the side of the road.

1227
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:46,920
yeah it doesn't differentiate no just any animal boy it was a

1228
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,880
conversation there was a lengthy conversation about this Monday night

1229
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:54,040
as well like they didn't find for the wild turkey yeah we did I mean there was

1230
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:58,800
there was a police office of it yes I don't know what they heard or luckily she used

1231
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:02,920
she's the person's okay but the vehicle was totally yeah and it was a great

1232
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:06,300
vehicle we're getting the deer saying something yeah

1233
01:11:06,300 --> 01:11:10,080
Oh yeah, yeah, it was raised in a small fun.

1234
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,640
We had a stay-a-gill loose and hit by a car and now it was straight.

1235
01:11:13,940 --> 01:11:17,460
Oh yeah, well, we had to be shocked.

1236
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:20,420
Are we voting on this one?

1237
01:11:20,860 --> 01:11:22,900
We are ready to vote on this.

1238
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:31,280
All in favor of Article 16, any opposed, extensions, no, 7000,

1239
01:11:38,970 --> 01:11:40,490
fashionals up on the screen.

1240
01:11:41,570 --> 01:11:42,750
Oh yeah, of course.

1241
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:02,700
I'm sorry.

1242
01:12:03,440 --> 01:12:04,700
I'm not sorry.

1243
01:12:05,380 --> 01:12:06,740
Can I have any thoughts on this?

1244
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:08,100
Don't you think

1245
01:12:10,150 --> 01:12:10,570
I can?

1246
01:12:10,890 --> 01:12:11,810
I got a question.

1247
01:12:12,150 --> 01:12:12,350
No, I'm not.

1248
01:12:13,770 --> 01:12:16,830
If they didn't pay it, you find it entirely fashion.

1249
01:12:17,930 --> 01:12:21,790
I'm the late fees that are apply, like I say.

1250
01:12:21,870 --> 01:12:25,350
Some we got, again, the violation is $300 for this animal,

1251
01:12:26,070 --> 01:12:31,360
but as it take for them to pay the fine.

1252
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:32,700
I'm not sure if this late fees,

1253
01:12:32,700 --> 01:12:38,880
what we usually do is, like everything else, if you have a feel or any kind of permit that

1254
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:45,920
you hold a sound, let's say we give you a violation. We have the ability to attach it to

1255
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:49,420
another permit, like I said, you can't get a beach ticket, you can't get a, you know, so

1256
01:12:49,420 --> 01:12:55,540
holds up that. Whether there's late fees, I'm not sure there's a late fee on, what's the

1257
01:12:55,540 --> 01:12:58,840
teeth? Yeah, that's the sound type of penalty, I suppose I'm going to get that.

1258
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:00,440
I'm not paying you in a timely fashion.

1259
01:13:01,140 --> 01:13:02,720
Yeah, well the penalty is really nothing.

1260
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:03,780
The penalty.

1261
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:05,540
I don't know if there's any additional charges to that.

1262
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,580
Well that's not saying they could not pay a fine for it two years.

1263
01:13:09,260 --> 01:13:09,920
That is very true.

1264
01:13:10,020 --> 01:13:13,000
That's not criminal, so I don't know if it's not going to get marked anywhere.

1265
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:14,540
No, that's what I mean.

1266
01:13:14,540 --> 01:13:17,360
They could all the time for years without paying that fine.

1267
01:13:17,500 --> 01:13:21,780
It should be somehow some type of governance over if you don't have it already.

1268
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:23,180
There's no liability to it.

1269
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:23,380
Right.

1270
01:13:28,420 --> 01:13:28,820
Yeah, I don't know.

1271
01:13:28,820 --> 01:13:33,480
you're out if we're going to chop if there's any additional teeth in

1272
01:13:33,480 --> 01:13:36,820
let's say that's what I'd be curious to see if there is

1273
01:13:36,820 --> 01:13:39,960
no it's going to know what the policy is I would suspect there's one

1274
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:44,580
but I mean we could probably issue site you know if they go to

1275
01:13:44,580 --> 01:13:48,600
if they argue you know hearing they'll have probably hearing his person that

1276
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,440
listens to what I'm what I'm not so not the Supreme Court

1277
01:13:53,300 --> 01:14:00,600
Does it go to court that likes a period court to yeah, but then you're paying lawyers to go for what and you're paying

1278
01:14:01,540 --> 01:14:20,780
Yeah, you paid to get into the period. Yeah, it's not playing with it. Yeah. Yeah, I'll just send maybe a leafy might be entertained or something like that

1279
01:14:20,780 --> 01:14:21,700
I don't have a governance.

1280
01:14:22,740 --> 01:14:22,760
Yeah.

1281
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:23,780
Oh, who?

1282
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:25,000
Who does this come under?

1283
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:26,380
It's like, come under the police.

1284
01:14:27,660 --> 01:14:30,020
And I'm going to control, is that part of the police department?

1285
01:14:30,440 --> 01:14:30,740
I don't know.

1286
01:14:30,820 --> 01:14:31,440
We're bored of health.

1287
01:14:31,500 --> 01:14:32,540
Yeah, they're all bored of health.

1288
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:33,160
Oh, OK.

1289
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:35,100
I was just curious, because that's who.

1290
01:14:35,100 --> 01:14:35,800
Yep, it's bored of health.

1291
01:14:35,820 --> 01:14:36,840
We'd obviously deal with it.

1292
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:40,860
I'm sure animal control has other things.

1293
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,840
They penalized people for it.

1294
01:14:44,060 --> 01:14:45,560
Anyway, any thoughts on this?

1295
01:14:46,180 --> 01:14:46,500
No.

1296
01:14:46,740 --> 01:14:47,260
We voted.

1297
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:47,820
Yeah.

1298
01:14:47,820 --> 01:14:50,700
All right, Article 17,

1299
01:14:53,260 --> 01:14:57,960
amendment to general bylaws chapter 87, soil conservation board.

1300
01:14:58,680 --> 01:14:59,960
Motion to approve, as written.

1301
01:15:00,530 --> 01:15:01,610
Do you have a second?

1302
01:15:01,770 --> 01:15:02,270
I will second.

1303
01:15:02,510 --> 01:15:02,630
I will.

1304
01:15:04,430 --> 01:15:04,870
Seconds.

1305
01:15:04,870 --> 01:15:05,190
Gary?

1306
01:15:05,790 --> 01:15:06,010
That's.

1307
01:15:06,370 --> 01:15:09,710
I think it just, if now, we can bind the, uh,

1308
01:15:10,030 --> 01:15:10,950
brings two boards together.

1309
01:15:13,530 --> 01:15:13,970
Questions?

1310
01:15:15,090 --> 01:15:15,750
Ready to vote?

1311
01:15:16,910 --> 01:15:18,450
All in favor of Article 17.

1312
01:15:19,170 --> 01:15:19,610
Aye.

1313
01:15:20,070 --> 01:15:21,250
Any opposed?

1314
01:15:21,890 --> 01:15:24,610
Or extension, seven, zero, zero.

1315
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:39,220
It makes sense to do that.

1316
01:15:41,300 --> 01:15:44,520
It's not, I think, the end of the week, or there's so much work that they need to

1317
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:51,520
What's the last soil conservation board meeting?

1318
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:57,520
I've never set one in my time as this point deep on the finance committee.

1319
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,300
So on if there's two woods to get paid extra.

1320
01:16:05,660 --> 01:16:07,520
I don't know.

1321
01:16:07,580 --> 01:16:11,460
And there is one act of I go in a boat on because it behind me.

1322
01:16:11,460 --> 01:16:18,160
But I'll send this out already the updated one there would you meet this in the time that I've been here

1323
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:21,940
They've been to meetings because we didn't have a person and somebody asked me to

1324
01:16:21,940 --> 01:16:26,760
Sigan on up. It was a long time ago. I had to be a while ago. Yeah, yeah, I'll sit

1325
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:32,060
But I'm not sure why there hasn't been any meeting was that there's at least one act of

1326
01:16:32,900 --> 01:16:35,800
Oh, pit and down.

1327
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:36,360
Wow.

1328
01:16:36,900 --> 01:16:40,960
The board of health decided it was more easily done that way.

1329
01:16:41,300 --> 01:16:42,200
Which sounds fantastic.

1330
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:45,940
So I didn't count the ones we still have to vote on.

1331
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:47,260
I can go through a lot of money.

1332
01:16:47,620 --> 01:16:47,800
Five.

1333
01:16:48,300 --> 01:16:48,980
So articles.

1334
01:16:52,990 --> 01:16:54,030
Just tell me.

1335
01:16:54,750 --> 01:16:55,730
A article five.

1336
01:16:57,130 --> 01:16:58,870
A article eight.

1337
01:16:59,270 --> 01:17:00,210
Hang on a second.

1338
01:17:00,570 --> 01:17:01,120
A article nine.

1339
01:17:02,310 --> 01:17:02,470
Nine.

1340
01:17:02,470 --> 01:17:02,670
Nine.

1341
01:17:09,790 --> 01:17:11,350
14. 14.

1342
01:17:15,550 --> 01:17:21,470
15. 15. Okay, much better.

1343
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:34,200
Did you want to look at the rationale for the articles we did not vote on?

1344
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,080
I'm just waiting until we vote on them.

1345
01:17:37,380 --> 01:17:38,220
Okay, let's find out.

1346
01:17:38,220 --> 01:17:39,780
Unless you don't want to look at them.

1347
01:17:40,020 --> 01:17:41,580
How many do we see them?

1348
01:17:41,940 --> 01:17:42,320
Five.

1349
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:42,820
Five.

1350
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:48,880
If you want to, I can.

1351
01:17:48,980 --> 01:17:49,740
No, no, that's good.

1352
01:17:50,100 --> 01:17:50,540
Everybody's in the middle.

1353
01:17:50,540 --> 01:17:51,660
Next week you have capital.

1354
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:52,940
The meeting is in a change.

1355
01:17:54,140 --> 01:17:54,300
Right.

1356
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:55,660
Yeah, right.

1357
01:17:56,660 --> 01:17:59,920
And I'll give the additional information that the committee requested and all

1358
01:17:59,920 --> 01:18:00,780
Sunday down to you.

1359
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:04,840
Back to the agenda.

1360
01:18:08,150 --> 01:18:10,750
Well, we don't have a talent in our sliders' update.

1361
01:18:10,890 --> 01:18:11,730
Just really not.

1362
01:18:12,130 --> 01:18:15,850
We'll just update between last week and this week I would say.

1363
01:18:16,690 --> 01:18:19,170
We'll talk about the budget transparency portal.

1364
01:18:19,190 --> 01:18:27,390
We're working on going for the GFAA award to do the budget in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the portal, the other piece of that program.

1365
01:18:28,410 --> 01:18:34,450
And, um, when we work on that now, I think that we've got, we've got a lot of positive feedback on that.

1366
01:18:35,030 --> 01:18:38,330
People that have already gone in and looked, it's nice that you can put your tax bill in or your

1367
01:18:38,330 --> 01:18:45,590
tax bill amount in and get that download, the allocation budget advisory group was

1368
01:18:45,590 --> 01:18:50,850
working on this RFP went back to the school committee to look at that and make and everyone

1369
01:18:50,850 --> 01:18:55,990
on the committee to make changes and hopefully we can maybe move that forward a little bit.

1370
01:18:56,430 --> 01:18:58,090
So there were changes that were made?

1371
01:18:58,090 --> 01:19:01,910
We sent the back to the different groups.

1372
01:19:02,070 --> 01:19:07,030
So we sent the back to the schools to have them visit with a subcommittee and make any recommendations

1373
01:19:07,030 --> 01:19:09,490
that they want to see changes on the RFP.

1374
01:19:09,790 --> 01:19:11,650
And then we're going to be setting another meeting up.

1375
01:19:11,730 --> 01:19:13,810
We haven't been scheduled, which is nice now.

1376
01:19:13,830 --> 01:19:15,730
We haven't been scheduled on the calendar.

1377
01:19:16,490 --> 01:19:19,410
And then, you know, finally, like I mentioned, CIPC will meet.

1378
01:19:19,530 --> 01:19:24,870
We have the balance of certified and next week they'll make the recommendations.

1379
01:19:26,010 --> 01:19:26,790
So you'll have the article.

1380
01:19:26,790 --> 01:19:31,930
I'll type it up after we meet on Wednesday I'll send the article to the committee so they have it.

1381
01:19:34,610 --> 01:19:38,070
So one update just because of the select board meeting that was on Monday night,

1382
01:19:38,190 --> 01:19:42,210
they had a joint meeting with the Planning Board and talked about the,

1383
01:19:42,210 --> 01:19:44,450
is it ballot question seven?

1384
01:19:44,690 --> 01:19:45,550
I have that number right.

1385
01:19:46,310 --> 01:19:50,730
So Gary is trying to arrange having the, I don't know,

1386
01:19:50,870 --> 01:19:52,090
assistant planning director of planning.

1387
01:19:52,290 --> 01:19:53,970
We might have, probably would have,

1388
01:19:55,090 --> 01:19:56,090
Lorraine Miller here.

1389
01:19:56,090 --> 01:19:58,030
And Lloyd Miller, who's the chair of that?

1390
01:19:58,030 --> 01:20:00,110
Yeah, next means to talk about it.

1391
01:20:00,250 --> 01:20:00,390
Correct.

1392
01:20:00,750 --> 01:20:02,770
So I thought it would be after listening to what the planning

1393
01:20:02,770 --> 01:20:05,190
board said, and you can all watch their meeting, obviously.

1394
01:20:05,390 --> 01:20:07,510
But after listening to what the planning board said,

1395
01:20:07,630 --> 01:20:10,150
I thought it was important for us to hear it too

1396
01:20:10,150 --> 01:20:11,370
and be able to ask questions.

1397
01:20:11,450 --> 01:20:15,350
That's why I asked Gary to get it on our agenda, especially

1398
01:20:15,350 --> 01:20:17,610
before the November election.

1399
01:20:18,170 --> 01:20:22,410
So people understood what that ballot question is

1400
01:20:22,410 --> 01:20:25,890
and most important, what it means to the town of Dartmouth

1401
01:20:26,300 --> 01:20:30,590
if that passes and they put through five thousand square foot

1402
01:20:30,590 --> 01:20:34,210
lots everywhere that has town utilities.

1403
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:38,840
So anyway, next week.

1404
01:20:40,140 --> 01:20:41,060
Liaison reports.

1405
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:47,840
I'm talking to all we heard from MIS and EMA.

1406
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:56,680
in health. That's right because that was in addition. That's where Chris talked about the

1407
01:20:56,680 --> 01:21:01,980
need to do a third year of testing of the Slocum River. They're trying to set for PF or you

1408
01:21:01,980 --> 01:21:11,540
remember the conversation a town had with the EP regarding Title V and as usual Chris is on top of

1409
01:21:11,540 --> 01:21:16,940
that and they're trying to look at he said that one of the unique things about the Slocum River is

1410
01:21:16,940 --> 01:21:20,640
but two biggest factors for pollution in that river.

1411
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:22,820
A nitrogen from

1412
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:27,420
stormwater, nitrogen, and stormwater, I'm sorry.

1413
01:21:28,300 --> 01:21:30,120
So they want to get some good data.

1414
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:31,660
It has been tested for a long time

1415
01:21:31,660 --> 01:21:32,900
and they want to compare it to that.

1416
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:34,540
I think it was there early 2000s

1417
01:21:34,540 --> 01:21:36,380
that they did last testing.

1418
01:21:37,180 --> 01:21:39,060
So why he asked for additional money,

1419
01:21:39,260 --> 01:21:41,260
which I can't, how much money was it, do you remember?

1420
01:21:41,480 --> 01:21:42,280
18,000, Father.

1421
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:45,180
I can't pull up my spreadsheet, 18,000, 500, thank you.

1422
01:21:45,180 --> 01:21:47,480
That's right, because the first two years with 20,000,

1423
01:21:47,480 --> 01:21:48,500
they took a phone up.

1424
01:21:49,860 --> 01:21:51,360
And also, the Connected Protect,

1425
01:21:51,500 --> 01:21:53,700
we're trying to make that a little bit more robust

1426
01:21:53,700 --> 01:21:54,280
program.

1427
01:21:54,700 --> 01:21:56,640
We had that with buses-based coalition,

1428
01:21:56,940 --> 01:21:58,160
so also we're trying to get that.

1429
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:01,420
So there's almost like another reviving's funds set up.

1430
01:22:01,440 --> 01:22:06,200
We used the state funding, which allows for 2% interest loans.

1431
01:22:06,540 --> 01:22:09,520
So we wanted to do some in-house where they,

1432
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,400
you know, tie-and-drop, accepted systems renovation.

1433
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:19,060
I mean, replacement of several seconds, which helps protect, again, the river and reduces

1434
01:22:19,060 --> 01:22:19,700
nitrogen levels.

1435
01:22:19,860 --> 01:22:23,080
So they want to do a program in-house and that want to get awarded to the most

1436
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:24,680
neediest systems.

1437
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:26,440
Now, very interesting.

1438
01:22:26,580 --> 01:22:27,700
I think to hear Chris Speakon.

1439
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:28,520
Excellent idea.

1440
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:36,380
It's a cent of the homes that have septic systems on the soccer room that have access to time sewage.

1441
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:42,280
So he was starting about the way to incentivize people to connect.

1442
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:49,620
And it's not income based right now, but at some point in the future could be.

1443
01:22:49,820 --> 01:22:55,460
He gave the example that Bonstville has an excellent, very robust program where they do this for people.

1444
01:22:55,460 --> 01:23:03,620
And it does make it, I remember, I gave the exam, I was benefit beneficiary of this program.

1445
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,400
I first moved to town because I was told that I had to connect.

1446
01:23:07,380 --> 01:23:10,600
And I wouldn't have been able to borrow the money at the time to do that.

1447
01:23:10,940 --> 01:23:13,680
So I was able to get a better minute and eventually paid off.

1448
01:23:13,740 --> 01:23:16,600
It makes it easier for people to do what they need to do.

1449
01:23:16,740 --> 01:23:19,720
It's good for the town, it's good for everything.

1450
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:26,960
But the point was made, Jeanine, like you said at one of the recent meetings, is that make sure

1451
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:28,400
that they have skin in the game.

1452
01:23:28,540 --> 01:23:34,080
It's not a grant necessarily, although the Connect and Protect program was because there

1453
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:38,240
was money available from Buzzets Bay coalition to assist with that.

1454
01:23:38,480 --> 01:23:42,020
That's not the assistant that we're talking about because we don't have it, but if it was

1455
01:23:42,020 --> 01:23:47,960
funding that came in, it could be set up into a fund to provide that assistance to other families.

1456
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:53,140
And keep in mind, when we do those programs, we place a lean on the property, so town

1457
01:23:53,140 --> 01:23:57,980
is always protected, and it's sort of a separate measurement program, the town will never

1458
01:23:57,980 --> 01:24:01,100
not recoup that money, because it's placed on the property.

1459
01:24:01,660 --> 01:24:06,520
Chris is very interesting, not that it's necessarily something we need to take up time to

1460
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:08,480
hear, but he is very knowledgeable.

1461
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:15,260
Oh, he did it, I mean, if you listen to the, if you listen to the CAPC meeting, he's

1462
01:24:17,300 --> 01:24:24,200
So ENA has some upgrades on the equipment that hasn't been done for at least 10 years, maybe

1463
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:24,760
15.

1464
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:31,380
And that was management information, sorry.

1465
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:33,380
And then the ENA is looking for a truck.

1466
01:24:33,820 --> 01:24:35,800
A lot of questions about why do we need a truck.

1467
01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:40,320
One of the things that came up that I had questions about, and I don't, again, it's not

1468
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:44,180
strictly in our review, but that was the one.

1469
01:24:44,180 --> 01:24:46,920
in a long time once in a decade,

1470
01:24:47,180 --> 01:24:51,420
event of Liz at last year, and I had a question about

1471
01:24:51,420 --> 01:24:55,920
what is the response in terms of all the time systems

1472
01:24:56,460 --> 01:24:59,920
because the director talked about how they were,

1473
01:24:59,920 --> 01:25:02,000
you know, just a couple of guys running trucks here

1474
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,320
and they had a deliver oxygen, you know,

1475
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:06,560
other things that people needed,

1476
01:25:06,740 --> 01:25:08,340
but I wanted to have much coordination.

1477
01:25:08,700 --> 01:25:11,360
It was, I mean, everybody was really busy that day, obviously.

1478
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:23,940
But I wonder when our town responses in particular because the five districts are involved in that and we have no involvement in the five districts, we don't know what they have for inventory or equipment or any of that stuff.

1479
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:27,420
So probably some work that needs to be done at some point in the future.

1480
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:32,460
But they did request a new truck as the trucks that they vehicles that they have are older.

1481
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:39,680
I guess they had to hand shovel their equipment during that, during that episode, out of the

1482
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,320
council and the ocean storage.

1483
01:25:42,420 --> 01:25:47,700
So an answer to guys that would have a little difficulty in shoveling, so we talked about

1484
01:25:47,700 --> 01:25:53,580
that need to, people like to get something that had a plow on it, so they didn't have to

1485
01:25:53,580 --> 01:25:54,140
do that again.

1486
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:55,540
And I also looked at that.

1487
01:25:55,540 --> 01:25:59,120
That's always a challenging area in the matter of what, the rubbed the weather is like a different

1488
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:04,520
like Swamp Row, there's no dangerous one, there's a lot of snow.

1489
01:26:04,860 --> 01:26:09,000
We have good people on the Capital Improvement Committee, it's worthwhile watching,

1490
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:10,360
I think you would learn things.

1491
01:26:10,700 --> 01:26:11,400
Yeah, do you remember that?

1492
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:14,300
I think they really are different perspectives, huh?

1493
01:26:15,260 --> 01:26:19,280
And, you know, a couple of Bruce and Chris have just had so much experience.

1494
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:22,600
No crisis IT experience, it's really awful.

1495
01:26:24,180 --> 01:26:27,740
Also, good men, that guy has a good memory for what's been done in the past, so I'm like

1496
01:26:27,740 --> 01:26:28,180
me.

1497
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:34,320
Anybody else?

1498
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:36,760
Gary, no, we don't have any minutes yet.

1499
01:26:36,820 --> 01:26:39,980
I think we're going to be getting a couple meetings.

1500
01:26:41,180 --> 01:26:41,700
Next week.

1501
01:26:43,500 --> 01:26:44,780
Any item not known?

1502
01:26:44,980 --> 01:26:47,620
So we are talked about what's going to be on the next agenda, right?

1503
01:26:47,620 --> 01:26:51,680
Obviously finishing the warrant rationals and the voting.

1504
01:26:52,980 --> 01:26:56,360
Planning board members of some sort,

1505
01:26:56,360 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaking to us about, whatever, the 5,000 square foot lots, anything else, how do they normal?

1506
01:27:05,380 --> 01:27:10,140
Um, it's an, I know that, uh, so this is all going to be turned in, obviously, to the clerk before.

1507
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,500
Well, I think we're pretty good, good shape.

1508
01:27:12,780 --> 01:27:15,060
Send this off to the clerk, probably next week.

1509
01:27:15,140 --> 01:27:17,640
We should be able to have it done, um,

1510
01:27:20,480 --> 01:27:21,400
shouldn't speak the carry.

1511
01:27:22,100 --> 01:27:24,940
Um, before the, uh, select board meeting on Monday night.

1512
01:27:25,820 --> 01:27:27,520
Yeah, I think we could, because that's not sweet.

1513
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:28,800
That's not the clerk's deadline.

1514
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:30,600
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

1515
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:30,860
See that.

1516
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,840
It's just so that it's like board can see it and see our board.

1517
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:35,560
Yeah, I just sent it back out to everybody.

1518
01:27:36,060 --> 01:27:36,140
Yeah, I'll go.

1519
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:36,580
I'll go.

1520
01:27:36,620 --> 01:27:36,800
I'll go.

1521
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:37,340
I'll go.

1522
01:27:38,900 --> 01:27:44,720
So in terms of open meeting was we can look at that and get it back to you.

1523
01:27:45,060 --> 01:27:45,300
Correct.

1524
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:46,980
We can't do a reply all.

1525
01:27:47,180 --> 01:27:48,260
Right, don't reply all.

1526
01:27:48,700 --> 01:27:50,140
Yeah, you mean you have comments now?

1527
01:27:51,020 --> 01:27:52,240
Yeah, sure, of course.

1528
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:52,700
Let's see.

1529
01:27:53,060 --> 01:27:53,460
Yeah, we have.

1530
01:27:53,460 --> 01:27:56,300
All the guys that I've got be here, but I will send comments to you.

1531
01:27:56,940 --> 01:27:57,500
Yeah, sure.

1532
01:27:57,500 --> 01:28:00,520
But he's input, obviously, because you voted on it.

1533
01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:05,580
So motion to adjourn.

1534
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:08,240
No second.

1535
01:28:08,380 --> 01:28:09,420

1536
01:28:09,420 --> 01:28:09,980
