There's always a tire or two that gets pulled out of there, you know. 155 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:09,640 When we start that, I think once the state gives us the vendor, then I said then the vendor 156 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:15,780 will reach out to Merrick, DPW and then we'll work that out. So probably in the next couple of weeks. 157 00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:22,300 Great. Yeah. We'll move on to the others. Yeah.

But if anyone's interested, 188 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:21,700 please step up, and also then I want to point out we have a lot of vacancies on boards and 189 00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:29,120 control authority as if they can see or to EDC is going to have one you have an active member on that. 190 00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:35,140 I think it's looking to resign, you know, life composition is stepped out. 191 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,980 Perk and X got some openings and other other boards and commissions. 192 00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:46,540 So if any interest or Q have something that you want to help out the town but you're not sure where you fit in 193 00:13:46,540 --> 00:13:48,560 or what might be a good fit. 194 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,520 Reach out and aim a slacken concern. 195 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,540 We can maybe make suggestions. 196 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,040 And yeah, the two people we have pointed tonight, 197 00:13:56,180 --> 00:13:57,160 that's exactly what happened. 198 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,800 You know, I reached out to one and said, 199 00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:00,420 you'd be really good at that. 200 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,680 You can see, you might be like, yeah, yeah. 201 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,020 So it worked out. 202 00:14:05,260 --> 00:14:05,520 OK. 203 00:14:06,780 --> 00:14:10,160 Library, I just wanted to bring the beach tree issues back 204 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,820 to the forefront, because there is about 50% of the people 205 00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:15,860 that I'm talking to me that want to save the tree 206 00:14:15,860 --> 00:14:22,540 all costs 50% think it should have been taken down two years ago because it's just a huge 207 00:14:22,540 --> 00:14:29,240 beach stream from the library. It's really causing the sidewalk to push up. We've got 208 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,980 limbs dropping. The upper part of the tree is pretty dead looking and if it ever fell over, 209 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:41,500 you know, it would cause some serious damage, whatever direction it went. So what we have planned, 210 00:14:41,500 --> 00:14:48,120 I have the tree work and what we thought we do is have a meeting, maybe in September, public 211 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,460 meeting, have people come in and have some experts here. 212 00:14:52,660 --> 00:14:55,320 We've had two archerists look at it and say it had to come down. 213 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,980 We're waiting on a third and all people that have nothing to do with the town. 214 00:15:00,140 --> 00:15:29,860 So, not any local tree people, you know, kind of outside groups coming in with an artist on staff or whatever. So, we'll have to see what we want to do with the tree. There's some ideas of maybe hiring a sculptor to turn the trunk into something, although those are kind of temporary, right? Because then maybe using some of the wood, you know, some of the wood down to make furniture or something, or a conference table, or so, again, when we have a public meeting, 215 00:15:29,860 --> 00:15:34,480 We can discuss all this, but we're waiting on that third arburist. 216 00:15:36,260 --> 00:15:40,870 Just a long people to think that we just decided out of the blue to chop down the tree because... 217 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,160 Part of deeper. 218 00:15:42,580 --> 00:15:43,640 I know exactly. 219 00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:49,500 If it's a safety concern, it's a safety concern. 220 00:15:49,540 --> 00:15:49,890 It's a safety concern. 221 00:15:50,740 --> 00:15:54,380 I think it is the branch belly of a man, the lended on someone's car. 222 00:15:54,820 --> 00:15:55,860 So that's probably the... 223 00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:59,220 Yeah. 224 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:07,360 Okay, paving project update. I know you were hanging out there today. You went and visited. 225 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,580 They were working all last week. Today they started actually putting the pavement down or the asphalt. 226 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,280 But you were out there this morning when you had texted me and I must have just driven by. 227 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:26,300 Yeah. So, it's going okay. We'll give a report when it's all done. Okay. 228 00:16:26,540 --> 00:16:31,180 What? They did do some damage. I heard there were a couple of shoes that cracked the 229 00:16:31,180 --> 00:16:37,820 manhole cover and a couple of water. Catch-basic cover, water, side loss. Yeah. 230 00:16:38,020 --> 00:16:44,020 Sure. So, I don't think that we should sign off on until all those things are fixed. Yeah. 231 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,840 We did have a delay yesterday because we were waiting for the water company to come up and 232 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,860 do pair something, I guess, before they start over again. 233 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,140 Actions happen, but there are responsibility. 234 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:55,720 The fiction. 235 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,040 And then did you learn today?
