[0:07]
Okay, the meeting of Dearest Left Board is here by call to order at 602 on August 20th. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance.
[0:16]
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation in the Iran, and in the baseball with liberty and justice for Iran.
[0:30]
You know what's the more that?
[0:31]
Okay.
[0:33]
We'll move on to the consent agenda.
[0:35]
Consent agenda includes two key items that he approved in one motion.
[0:39]
Any member or maybe question items to be removed for individual consideration.
[0:43]
The consent agenda for August 20 includes a approval of the Minutes from the Public

[1:17]
And 2,284,81 cents for the month.

We have two veteran credits tonight, one elderly exemption and one application for the Budget Advisory Committee.
[1:40]
We also have signatures with a municipal vendor credit account procedure approved and adopted for August 6.
[1:48]
Does any member wish to remove an item from the consent agenda?
[1:52]
I do.
[1:54]
The chair request removal of the application for the Budget Advisory Committee until the Board has reviewed and set the charge for the budget advisory committee for them.
[2:01]
Yeah.
[2:02]
No objection.
[2:03]
If.
[2:04]
Okay.
[2:05]
So is there a motion to approve the remaining consent agenda items?
[2:09]
I will approve.
[2:09]
Motion to approve the consent agenda included in the envelope.
[2:15]
I will second that motion on favor.
[2:18]
Okay.
[2:19]
So now we have a public comment section.
[2:22]
We will now open that period.
[2:24]
But before we begin, here's a quick overview of the public comment.
[2:27]
Public comment is limited.
[2:29]
Public forum.
[2:30]
Speaker's must be during residents, taxpayers, employees, business owners, non-resident,
[2:35]
please speak only with permission of the chair.
[2:38]
I must state your name and residents for the record.
[2:41]
Commence must be directed to the chair and must remain respectful and civil.
[2:44]
Individual comments may be limited to three minutes, the board will not engage in debate during
[2:48]
public comment.
[2:49]
And once the public comment closes, no additional comment will be taken and less invited.
[2:55]
The floor is now open for public comment.
[2:59]
Seeing no further public comment, the public comment period is closed.
[3:03]
We will now address bold business, revisiting the draft of the onboard and onboarding
[3:07]
procedures for the treasurer.
[3:09]
Discussion.
[3:11]
I took a look at everything that was in the package.
[3:14]
I think that you've done some revisions to the select board and onboarding.
[3:19]
It looks pretty good for me, but my question is, is we want to wait for
[3:23]
of what the last few things.
[3:30]
Do you feel like you was like a postpone of those decisions?
[3:36]
Did he have any objections?
[3:38]
I think you are right.
[3:40]
Do you think you're right?
[3:41]
I don't
[3:45]
see any reason why it's a pressing matter to tonight.
[3:51]
You feel good about what you're looking at, though?
[3:53]
I think it'll work.
[3:54]
I mean, for what I saw that you've kind of...
[3:57]
things that we had talked about last time, it didn't, you know, or we were so great, right?
[4:03]
Well, it's just the checklist. We're onboarding and onboarding for both of these elected positions.
[4:09]
Plus, I think you're probably noticed what was also added, but not on.
[4:13]
Old business was just a general checklist to maybe start with.
[4:20]
All right, so if it pieces the board, I'll motion to carry these items forward to the next full name.
[4:26]
Okay, I'm going to agree with that. I guess that's the second.
[4:31]
All right.
[4:32]
Okay.
[4:34]
And as far as new business goes, I would like to propose that we emotion to propose
[4:40]
postpone our new business until the next meeting.
[4:44]
Anything with the soul?
[4:46]
Um, that's from the down.
[4:48]
That's further down.
[4:50]
Okay.
[4:51]
Okay.
[4:51]
Second emotion.
[4:52]
All right, so now we are on to the 10 administrators department and committee of the report.
[4:59]
So let's talk about the 10 administrator report.
[5:06]
I know, I know.
[5:07]
What is it like?
[5:08]
I'm just walking on that one.
[5:12]
Yeah.
[5:12]
All right, well, let's start with the NS434.
[5:15]
Yep.
[5:17]
Let's just already van and sign it and sum up to the area.
[5:23]
Okay, how about if you give us an idea of how it looks for any adjustments that you need?
[5:30]
A couple of hair in there, what I'm waiting for, motor vehicle permit fees, that one,
[5:37]
I kind of lowball that a little bit, and the reason being is you can use the soft wind in there on protects rates.
[5:44]
So if you have more revenue coming in, at the end of the year it'll help that protects rates.
[5:49]
So I'm trying not to commit to the total amount yet, or I get a little bit of an adjustment.
[5:58]
But yeah.
[5:59]
I'm building permits.
[6:01]
That was down a little bit so far this year.
[6:05]
So I kind of think I took a couple thousand dollars off of that.
[6:09]
And again, meals and rooms, highway, the state.
[6:12]
They calculate that, so we don't.
[6:15]
All of them that, and there's nothing really I have a normal on this at all.
[6:20]
Okay, so things are coming in as we expect.
[6:24]
Okay.
[6:25]
You also had given us an update on the expenses.
[6:34]
Yes.
[6:34]
Is there would you like to go over those a little bit?
[6:38]
Um, nothing really out of the wrong, like I said, the revenues.
[6:41]
that's pretty much what I just reported on the MS4-3-4, and that's some of the numbers that
[6:48]
that's where I grabbed from all the van looking at last year's total calculation of revenues,
[6:57]
so I take the revenue from the MS program, the past revenues were last year, and the MS-535
[7:03]
from the auditor, so that's how all these numbers are calculated.
[7:08]
I think you had mentioned
[7:11]
before that there was some problems with checkmate and working that out for.
[7:16]
Yeah, so checkmate, general ledger.
[7:19]
Yeah, so I have to say that the most part going with checkmate is inspirate.
[7:25]
A couple pickups that makes it not so great.
[7:30]
We've got a lot of support. The people that we call the support of questions are amazing. Checkmate process is fun. Checking, you know, cutting the text or if you have to pause it. It's the JL, um,
[7:42]
that we were having very, very difficult time with. I ended up starting with a
[7:49]
employee, with a management, and now I'm with Yorra.
[7:56]
And so honestly, I said that
[7:58]
home before I was Sunday because I still did not believe the numbers that he sent
[8:03]
over on the GNL shooting. And good thing I did. So I finally have a chance to
[8:10]
comfortable with all the numbers and where they're supposed to be in each budget line and
[8:15]
that was one of the problems is he or the program had like all ambulance on call, nothing
[8:23]
on fire and I'm like, no, it didn't mean even separate them when we put in their payroll
[8:31]
even hours. And so I'm going back and forth with him. I finally had everything out. I feel
[8:40]
with and then he should have July in August to me by Monday. So after review with them, I'm
[8:49]
hopefully get them off and we'll be all caught up. But all the payroll for until January
[8:56]
one last and half of the year is off.
[9:05]
Anything else on the expenditures that struck you
[9:09]
Well, we all know that maintenance line is ugly.
[9:14]
Yeah.
[9:14]
Um, the, we talked about the maintenance line for the file.
[9:19]
Yeah.
[9:20]
Oh, yeah.
[9:21]
That's the 70,000.
[9:23]
It was, um, 40,000 budget.
[9:26]
And unfortunately, the hit of 20 grand for that deaf unit for that truck is what really
[9:32]
heard him hurt that budget line. That was out of the normal maintenance. It wasn't even
[9:40]
a normal maintenance. It was just something that happened and it blew up on us.
[9:49]
So I did agree with Jim to have the knowing, always 10,000. That's it. I said, we're not doing
[9:57]
full vote of 20. Yeah. So that was that. The salt line is up a little bit too. So I was going
[10:09]
to have a discussion with Jim Monday regarding that matter.
[10:15]
Well, it's over $6,000,000. But
[10:19]
what I'm trying to, what I'm going to, I can just ask her about Jim, is what you have
[10:24]
right now for inventory.
[10:26]
I have maybe 40 times in the shed.
[10:30]
And what would that cover you?
[10:35]
Storms.
[10:37]
So, say you're 20, what you're saying is you're just in 20 times.
[10:41]
I'm guessing.
[10:43]
I probably use light to vote 20, don't we do a song?
[10:48]
So, what I'm hoping Mother Nature's time to us.
[10:53]
And the way is her storms and if we can get away with it when I'm going to suggest is if you don't have to order anything until like December
[11:05]
I'm not saying that I'm just saying that I know in the past they work with you and they'll build you into the next year
[11:13]
So I know more than so will not the other company will
[11:17]
Okay.
[11:18]
You should remove those.
[11:21]
Yeah.
[11:23]
Can we postpone this discussion?
[11:25]
Sure.
[11:26]
It's to finish up with that.
[11:27]
You're reporting.
[11:30]
Do we have some new hires that we would like to discuss?
[11:32]
Yes.
[11:33]
I have a new hire for the assessing clerk.
[11:38]
Yeah.
[11:39]
Finally.
[11:40]
Yes.
[11:40]
Good interview with her.
[11:42]
She had very strong administration skills.
[11:44]
I feel like we're never going to find someone with a assessing.
[11:50]
She's definitely intrigued of learning about, she's also has some background on what sites.
[11:58]
So what I would like to do, she would like to have her to come on board and she can start September 9.
[12:07]
So, with that, I thought, as I pulled, I was like starting at 22 to 25 and I think it was like,
[12:19]
we were going to start on just below that and then once they're going trained in the six months, oh, here it's right for me.
[12:27]
So, starting salary was 22 to 25 per hour, but I'm pretty sure I think this one was an older one.
[12:33]
And we're going to start the salary range at 25.
[12:39]
She was good with, like, the 22 to 23, and then pushed the 25 after training.
[12:47]
So that's totally up to the select board.
[12:51]
So I think that shall be very helpful in the assessing office, and she has strong administration
[13:00]
skills.
[13:01]
So we're like answering the phones and the customer service,
[13:03]
I question chair, how she, you know, handle if she
[13:07]
have an upset president and she gave me pretty good answers
[13:10]
on her as well too.
[13:12]
Well, she'll be doing what we have for the job description
[13:18]
as a specific land.
[13:21]
Yes, okay, yeah, okay.
[13:23]
So she'll be picking up for the land use as far as the planning
[13:28]
board in the ZDA. Yeah, I went over that with her. Okay. I'm like you pretty much like a secretary to them. Yes, I'm making sure the public notices the water letters. Yes, that's what the intended cuts. So I did give her the details. Okay.
[13:45]
what that is probably fielding a lot of questions that people have as far as building permits and we can help
[13:52]
roll in a master plan. Well, any of those are the planning to run? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, that's
[13:58]
plenty. The zoning for any zoning ordinances. Yes. Yeah. All right. Okay. So I am, uh, I'm sure, I could just ask, um, the, uh,
[14:13]
packet with the attendance today, the application, this will make sure that it gets pulled out
[14:21]
before it gets attached to the minutes, because there's not going to go out in there.
[14:26]
Now, it's not going in, okay.
[14:30]
I'd like to make a motion to move forward with hiring up this person.
[14:38]
I'm recommending at 22 to start with the recommendation to follow as the time administrator.
[14:45]
Just a second that motion for Lauren and Target to be extended on for one as a system clerk at the
[14:54]
standard race and a track with the starting salary as a result.
[14:57]
Awesome.
[14:58]
Thank you.
[14:59]
Great.
[15:00]
Second of all, favour? Aye. Okay, and then we also have a new comment for, as a paramedic. Yes. Of course, I don't do the interviews, but it was brought forward from Fire Chief and with a highly recommendation to bring him on as a paramedic, even. Yes. So, I make a motion to hire Scotchelli and pay ready $25 an hour as a paramedic for the fire rescue.
[15:28]
Now
[15:31]
a second then motion.
[15:32]
Ball of favor?
[15:33]
All right.
[15:49]
That sounds good.
[15:52]
Any other...
[15:53]
Let's see.
[15:55]
No, I don't think so.
[15:57]
You're not working on any grants at this point.
[15:59]
Okay.
[16:00]
That's why I'm really...
[16:01]
I'm really...
[16:02]
Hold it.
[16:03]
So we have some staffing changes.
[16:04]
And it's worth it.
[16:05]
That's great.
[16:11]
Revenue and expenditure are not on the ways we quite open.
[16:13]
We haven't heard anything about...
[16:16]
I thought it yet. I'm putting it to close. Monday was the deadline to do any additional work for 2025 and all the recommendations when we go over the auditor on Monday to get the audit completed.
[16:34]
Did you start the joint loss?
[16:36]
Okay, we have our second meeting.
[16:40]
Anything to report on that?
[16:43]
Um, not really.
[16:45]
No, we just, um, we knew, like, the fire extinguishers need to be inspected
[16:49]
different close systems.
[16:51]
We, we made appointments for all that.
[16:54]
Um, we're still going to work on the generators for both fire and highway.
[17:00]
Um, so I can, we're going to be putting up minutes.
[17:03]
Um, shortly.
[17:03]
Okay, so you'll see you in the minutes as well.
[17:06]
Okay, all right, we understand the road projects
[17:11]
are nearing completion as far as what goes for
[17:15]
is a portion of them.
[17:19]
Just wait for the papers out.
[17:21]
Okay, and you will start be zooming,
[17:24]
the highway department will start be zooming, regular grading, maybe.
[17:27]
Yeah, runs off your own today, they won't fill.
[17:30]
Okay, and we
[17:41]
have questions on this.
[17:44]
Okay, so I think this is already something else I've gotten to ask you about now
[17:50]
I really need for it. I've been just concentrating on finishing up the hat on it
[17:54]
I don't think I really want that completed and the gls were taking it and consuming us
[18:00]
So you think that's moved out at this point or will it continue to be a bugger?
[18:06]
I'll let you know when I get this July gls. Okay.
[18:12]
okay so let's talk about we're moving into the Morton's salt contract here
[18:23]
of which I understand we have page one into the other ones is just all the I
[18:31]
Yeah, I was wondering why I had a problem out here.
[18:34]
I think it's for your copy there, but everything else is three and four down here.
[18:37]
If you want to do me that one.
[18:39]
Is it more now?
[18:41]
No, it's just all of technical stuff.
[18:46]
So, basically we didn't have a big thing that hopefully, you know, for determination,
[18:53]
but how does this compare to our procurement policy?
[18:58]
It's $20,000.
[19:00]
What's that?
[19:01]
It's $9,000. You're asking us to commit this through from July 1st.
[19:05]
It's going to be more than that, really.
[19:08]
This is the minimum that we're required to buy from that.
[19:13]
We're going to buy last year. We've worked over seven hundred times for last year.
[19:19]
I mean, I've not got the second quote from Eastern minerals yet.
[19:23]
They have not set the prices yet. They're usually within a dollar or two of this more or so.
[19:28]
They're all within a couple dollars of each other.
[19:31]
I usually sign these in the last couple of years I have, I didn't know that, you know,
[19:34]
the computer policy, all this stuff, all this is saying in the middle of that we're going to buy
[19:38]
as a hundred tenth of them. We can buy three hundred tenths from them. That's all the way.
[19:44]
So if we're going to waste the other one, but either way, I got to come back and see you guys again.
[19:51]
Just, either way, if we're going to have, we need salt.
[19:55]
Mm-hmm. Yep.
[19:58]
It's just a basic thing.
[20:00]
I'm not a disagreeing that we saw this, it's the the the procurement policy.
[20:11]
He said, he's her name, got my idea.
[20:13]
I call it, and they have not set the pressure.
[20:15]
What about the elements, the granite state, New England salt.
[20:18]
Granite state, the eastern minerals are the same company.
[20:23]
And I have not used, and this is the only two companies we've been using since I've been here.
[20:26]
I don't believe you about the council that wants to.
[20:29]
Are you looking at the spreadsheet as though?
[20:32]
Yeah.
[20:33]
I sent it to you late.
[20:35]
Okay.
[20:35]
Just a few minutes.
[20:37]
So there should be at least five different companies.
[20:41]
It's an expel, an Excel spreadsheet that has five different companies.
[20:44]
I don't know if you're going to copy it.
[20:46]
No, you didn't.
[20:47]
Yeah, that's a little bit more.
[20:52]
Yep, can you just...
[20:53]
I don't know.
[20:53]
I don't know.
[20:53]
Yeah.
[21:01]
It has all the sources from the data.
[21:05]
Okay, so if you guys want to call me, well the policy is I explained to you before we're in the middle
[21:13]
and 9,000 hits two quotes right I understand that yeah, so you have to now
[21:20]
sometimes it's a availability this is what I'm concerned about because last year I call these
[21:26]
I ordered a hundred times all, you said they're 26, they were down and I never saw a salt tool, January 18th, they didn't have it, they called me on 18th and I was still waiting to salt me, yeah, they will send it, yeah, so this is the timing, the timing, it's timing, it's, you know, the loop is all this, if they're waiting for a ship, we don't have it, if you're only able to, and it's always going to deal with one company, I don't agree with we need to put no need to crawl at it, Eric's one basket, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[21:56]
Now, I would not, but if you're only able to solicit a bit for the product to be delivered at that date, you're only able to get one of these.
[22:05]
That's right. It can't commit to that.
[22:07]
And they know it's covered in false.
[22:09]
If you've got five different companies, you ask them all for pricing.
[22:12]
And you say, oh, they want to know a rough estimate where you've got to use.
[22:16]
Then you've got to sign all those contracts.
[22:18]
But if we don't meet all that, then you're still going to pay for it.
[22:23]
Well, we did not accept a bid from the fire department.
[22:30]
That required us to look at a contract mid-year, and we requested it to be from January through December.
[22:42]
This is how it works.
[22:45]
And so, I am concerned about that, and there is nothing else.
[22:51]
There are a number of things that don't really meet the procurement policy.
[22:57]
So, with the fact that there's already an overage on this line item in the whole budget, I don't, I don't feel comfortable deciding the contract.
[23:10]
So, what if they don't want to change the dates on their contract, would I get a buy-in salt?
[23:16]
I...
[23:16]
We're still going to have to buy salt.
[23:17]
Well, that's what I'm at.
[23:20]
They're going to laugh at me. They're going to see not salt contracts or always.
[23:27]
I think you'll have to discuss that in the time of administrator and bring it back to the board.
[23:37]
What kind of contract we feel comfortable with based on the procurement policy that the board had signed?
[23:44]
And that being said, if there is something that physically cannot fit within the procurement policy because it's not going to be available, there is a portion of it that will allow us to, you know, weigh you down in your own portion of the thing.
[24:00]
But I agree that we should try to normalize all of these contracts across and there's no sense of, you know, asking the worst they can do the same now.
[24:12]
I asked more and so on and they will not. They don't put their cell in April.
[24:20]
But there's other ones. They'll be asked.
[24:22]
They don't know where they come from. They will. I'll call them. I'll call them. I'll call them. I'll call them. I'll call them.
[24:31]
I'll call them. I'll call them.
[24:31]
They do. Okay.
[24:34]
So, you want prices from April to?
[24:39]
Discuss the debt.
[24:41]
Dev knows what the procurement policy is.
[24:43]
You're responding to debt. Dev is the one that...
[24:46]
I understand it.
[24:47]
Putting this forward.
[24:52]
So, we've made the policy, yeah, it's going to be followed through with it.
[24:59]
You speak without it.
[25:00]
Do that's the chicken.
[25:02]
And come back.
[25:03]
So now, like we're not going to say, that you don't mean, you know, well, no.
[25:08]
I'm not going to my fault.
[25:09]
Well, you're saying, you know, well, doesn't fit up there if it doesn't fit the policy.
[25:15]
There are parts of this that doesn't fit the policy.
[25:17]
There have been parts of other departments that they too have brought forward proposals.
[25:24]
They haven't fit the policy.
[25:26]
This is not an unrealistic policy, but it is a different way of doing things to ensure
[25:30]
that the town has made sure that there is due diligence.
[25:36]
That's all.
[25:39]
We are the policy setters.
[25:41]
I'm not trying to tell you what to do.
[25:42]
No.
[25:43]
I get there.
[25:44]
a rope should be greater than half. But we do set policy.
[25:49]
I understand that.
[25:51]
That's all.
[25:51]
I'm not just agreeing about the fact that we need some.
[25:59]
Moving on then.
[26:00]
So we'll see that for the next time on our agenda.
[26:05]
Do you have a tree removal?
[26:08]
I do have a tree.
[26:08]
I talked to Mary and today.
[26:12]
It's a noisy.
[26:13]
And we'll see how it will be.
[26:14]
Trendy.
[26:15]
I'm going to see if we apologize.
[26:16]
Trendy.
[26:18]
I finally got a holder and it's on a scenic row which is Quaker Road. I have two trees that
[26:24]
need to be removed over there. One's completely dead and the other one's slowly doing this.
[26:30]
Where it's on a scenic road and it's over a certain size. I have to have permission to land,
[26:35]
owner, and a person from the slackboard to take these trees down.
[26:38]
It's not the playboard? No, it's not the playboard. It's not the playboard right here. It's the slackboard.
[26:43]
What can you say?
[26:45]
I really can ask.
[26:46]
I'll find it, but yeah.
[26:48]
It says a day, see it?
[26:50]
Yep.
[26:51]
The camera, right?
[26:52]
They brought it so they, they look up and
[27:14]
we'll...
[27:16]
The camera...
[27:16]
They
[27:19]
see it, you remember something like this.
[27:22]
They're going to get four years to get out of that.
[27:24]
Yep, seeing it, roads.
[27:26]
You see it, roads and trees?
[27:28]
Two trees.
[27:29]
One dead.
[27:30]
One is bound to fall.
[27:31]
One of the times we go out there, I have to throw the lens that are falling down out of the road.
[27:37]
And the other one is slowly splitting in both front and in the middle.
[27:41]
There are the popletries.
[27:43]
That's right.
[27:44]
Okay.
[27:48]
Because they've been notified.
[27:50]
You just talked to them.
[27:51]
I've talked to her.
[27:53]
All right.
[27:53]
I'm going to go out Monday and meet her Monday morning.
[27:55]
She wants to look at them and they said,
[27:57]
I'm going to need you to sign something to say that's okay.
[27:59]
We'll take them down.
[27:59]
Okay, that will be a problem.
[28:02]
Okay, so you're waiting for her signature?
[28:03]
Yeah, I'm just going to go to actually take one of these and
[28:07]
Couple little later to it say, you know, this is what we're going to do like so she said that I'll stay put in the file
[28:13]
Okay, all right, and then that can be something we address at our next meeting. It's if you guys say if she's okay
[28:20]
If you guys welcome, I'll get the three guys up there to take it out. Okay, can you can you after is so is this imminent then you want us to get this
[28:28]
You have time in the person has time to cut it down before I next meeting. Yes, he does
[28:33]
Okay. All right. Can you just make sure that you just send us a copy?
[28:39]
I'll give them a copy.
[28:40]
All right. Okay. All right. So I will make a motion.
[28:44]
I'll find out what that is.
[28:45]
I'll do the removal of two trees on the sea.
[28:48]
I'll go to Quaker on the headache event.
[28:53]
Yes, I'll find out.
[28:53]
You're going to try to get to it.
[28:56]
Yep.
[28:58]
This would be parts of ID 203-4.
[29:01]
And now, 203, yeah, but for me, and if we have the signature for the home owner, that they are
[29:11]
including the network, then the board approval of this will move forward.
[29:16]
I'll second that motion.
[29:18]
Oh, a favor?
[29:20]
Our approval is contingent from us.
[29:21]
Our signature.
[29:22]
Yeah, absolutely.
[29:23]
We do nothing about our signature.
[29:25]
And that will send that to us as you know.
[29:27]
Okay.
[29:29]
Okay.
[29:31]
Thank you for the questionnaire. Anything that you would like to add to that?
[29:37]
No, the top right there.
[29:41]
We'll just see if I have any questions on it.
[29:44]
So, right now, level two, summer maintenance.
[29:47]
So, let me just make sure we understand that you agree with summer maintenance as requiring
[29:52]
grading, ditching and drainage, culvert work, road surface and gravel.
[30:01]
Shoulders, vegetation management, and service treatments. And we're talking about erosion control.
[30:11]
All right. And so our level of service, this level 2 is a standard service or preventative maintenance in cost control.
[30:25]
versus level one is just basic safety in level three is long-term resilience and storm harming
[30:32]
Okay, so you feel that
[30:37]
we meet
[30:39]
level two
[30:41]
and everything except for ditching ditching you read this more reactive than I don't know vegetation management and surface treatments
[30:49]
It's a water truck of the nature of water.
[30:51]
That's the top.
[30:53]
Do you feel that that's the issue there?
[30:58]
The surface treatment.
[31:00]
Water truck, yeah.
[31:04]
It's also portions of section G.
[31:07]
There aren't a total of two.
[31:10]
Section E.
[31:12]
Oh yeah.
[31:13]
Well, I was just going to set it in.
[31:15]
Okay.
[31:15]
And then we have the winter maintenance and we have plowing trigger depths.
[31:22]
Yeah, I don't agree with the two or three inches of plow.
[31:26]
If you get two inches out of your own, you don't plow.
[31:29]
But, say, grab a row.
[31:31]
You won't sand it.
[31:32]
It takes us four or five trips of sanding over it.
[31:35]
To get it so, you can see the sand and it's actually grip.
[31:38]
If you plow that two inches off it into the half off,
[31:41]
it only takes us one time to sand it.
[31:43]
All right, so you feel the trigger should be one inch.
[31:47]
Yeah, absolutely.
[31:48]
One to two inches.
[31:50]
Okay.
[31:51]
There is a plow of strategy.
[31:56]
Reactive priority modes are optimized for it since it's interesting.
[32:00]
Sanding, minimal, calibrated, treated materials, standard, yep.
[32:07]
Sulting, minimal temperature based, brining, or anti-brining, and then we have pre-treatment.
[32:12]
we don't do a lot we don't we don't have to do
[32:17]
so is that
[32:20]
brine tangs and stuff yes we don't we're not set up that
[32:23]
you put an x on level one and you check to up to
[32:27]
as what we are currently yeah we're probably in the you know
[32:31]
depends on the storm you absolutely
[32:35]
because if it's sometimes you know you're preaching you put a little
[32:38]
it's sold out before you follow the road, but it's really cold.
[32:42]
The snow swapping, it doesn't stick, so we don't pre-salt, we just scrape it, then we'll
[32:47]
solve it at the end.
[32:49]
Okay, now for equipment and fleet.
[32:53]
Okay, so we have preventative maintenance.
[32:58]
We have major repairs.
[33:00]
We have equipment we place in it, and that's it for section C.
[33:07]
So you feel we're bad at equipment replacement. We have failure. We don't do it fails.
[33:15]
Yeah, yeah, we want to tell it to us. But you're feeling like our major repairs are a condition based.
[33:21]
Oh, absolutely. And our preventative maintenance you're feeling is that it's more schedule.
[33:26]
We're getting there. We're getting to the point. We're getting better. You know, every time we do something, we find something to track your illness.
[33:32]
There's a couple of things on one of the trucks, I'm kind of hoping it makes it to January.
[33:38]
This is one of those things.
[33:40]
This gives it to January.
[33:41]
And it middle December.
[33:44]
The bottom needs a radiator and an air cooler.
[33:47]
Yeah.
[33:48]
It's holding out right right now.
[33:50]
I know.
[33:51]
Practically we could have had this year two payments.
[33:59]
For two new tracks.
[34:00]
Yeah. Or just about one new truck pay for it.
[34:05]
Right. Absolutely.
[34:07]
But this is from the previous things I haven't done a long time.
[34:13]
Okay, so material category.
[34:16]
We have gravel, stock, pile, sand, stock, pile.
[34:20]
Salt, salt, stock, pile.
[34:22]
Fuel management and clover inventory.
[34:26]
Don't look so bored at this.
[34:27]
I'm not.
[34:28]
This is like
[34:31]
um, so you feel we're at level one on our stockpiles. Yeah, I really truly do except for the sand
[34:38]
It's definitely sand we have sand
[34:41]
I don't have no very very little human
[34:45]
That's kind of one of those. How much you use field management?
[34:49]
How much you possible and what you know you you know when we're flowing snow we're burning fuel a lot
[34:55]
That's only so much you can manage your five rock box card. Yeah
[35:04]
Okay, and then administration complains in documentation,
[35:11]
communication,
[35:14]
safety, train, and training, and planning.
[35:19]
And that goes to me too, we need more training and stuff for everybody.
[35:23]
Planning.
[35:24]
Planning.
[35:24]
Well, planning, I'm really feeling would be the five-year notes.
[35:30]
Yeah, I got a three-year plan right now right now.
[35:36]
Okay, come on.
[35:37]
Sure, here we go.
[35:39]
Um, so, um, yeah, safety and training.
[35:44]
A little one, compliance and documentation, and then one.
[35:49]
I want to say documentation, you know,
[35:51]
this things, you know, we should be documenting that.
[35:53]
We don't have to, you know, when we build a real make of colors and stuff,
[35:57]
there should be all in the software and stuff like that.
[36:00]
For documentation for the town.
[36:02]
Yeah, so I ever leave, you know, it's all up here right now.
[36:05]
I already did.
[36:06]
I already did.
[36:08]
You never leave.
[36:10]
No, I like that.
[36:10]
It's like ever leave.
[36:13]
You never know what's going to happen.
[36:14]
You didn't say win.
[36:19]
And then the last one is capital category.
[36:22]
We have road reconstruction.
[36:24]
Failure only.
[36:25]
That's great.
[36:26]
Drainage upgrades.
[36:28]
You're feeling we're doing okay.
[36:28]
We're doing it.
[36:30]
We're doing it.
[36:36]
This gives us a good, really great starting point.
[36:38]
What do you think?
[36:39]
I think so.
[36:39]
I know, I love that.
[36:41]
of it. Great. Okay. All right. Is there any other business? Do you have anything you like to?
[36:47]
No. No. Just the signature I'm going to open is opening when you guys have proved that.
[36:53]
Yes. Mom. I mean last meeting. Yes. Stop. We didn't get a signature. I'm there.
[36:57]
That over here, this is their pile to sign for the next agenda. I brought back that
[37:03]

[37:14]
escape portion on it and we just need a signature now on it. Okay, because we have
[37:19]
agreed up to that last time. Yeah. You just wanted that fresh and I didn't have the term page
[37:25]

[37:31]
Excellent then. Do we need a non-public? Is there any other business?
[37:38]

[37:43]
I had not done that yet, but I'm going to get back to this side of this person to figure out what's going on with it.
