1
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:10,970
Good

2
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,900
evening, everyone. Welcome to the Dennis Board of Selectman August 26 meeting.

3
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:36,460
If

4
00:00:38,670 --> 00:00:38,670
you could please

5
00:00:38,670 --> 00:00:42,310
acquired by open meeting law in Mass General, we are informing you that this meeting will be

6
00:00:42,310 --> 00:00:46,950
video and audio recorded as well as broadcast anyone has sent into a video or audio tape.

7
00:00:47,210 --> 00:00:49,570
This meeting is required to inform the chair.

8
00:00:50,110 --> 00:00:55,590
Good evening everyone, just to let folks know and the audience in who is watching at home.

9
00:00:56,610 --> 00:01:00,630
We had a scheduling conflict since we already have a Dennis Fortes Electman meeting schedule

10
00:01:00,630 --> 00:01:07,990
for this week, so we decided to have our meeting on Monday right after the districts school

11
00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:12,310
committee meeting. On our first order of business, we have discussed and consider

12
00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:18,230
school agreement article voted by school committee on August 26, based on the school

13
00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:22,690
agreement signed by the DUI Regional School Committee, town of Dennis, and town of Yarmeth.

14
00:01:24,910 --> 00:01:28,730
This chairman, that's based on the settlement agreement, not the school agreement.

15
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,640
Absolutely right. Thank you.

16
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:38,840
Thank you. The proposed, the more article reads, to see if the town will vote, consistent

17
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:44,500
with the quote, agreement between the towns of Dennis and Yarmeth establishing a regional

18
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:50,140
school district, parenthesis district, as most recently amended in the spring, in spring

19
00:01:50,140 --> 00:01:57,040
2013 end quote, to accept further amendments to Section 4B and 4D of SETA agreement, which

20
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,540
have been initiated and approved by a vote of the regional school committee on August 26, 2019,

21
00:02:02,540 --> 00:02:09,340
which would allocate the percentage split of district operating and capital costs as follows.

22
00:02:10,020 --> 00:02:13,440
Section 4D shall be replaced in its entirety as follows.

23
00:02:14,140 --> 00:02:19,540
With respect to the percentage split of the district's operating cost by and between Dennis and Yarmeth,

24
00:02:19,940 --> 00:02:30,660
I, the split of operating costs for the commonwealth, designated minimum required contribution shall be in accordance with the statutory formula under Master General Law, Chapter 70,

25
00:02:30,660 --> 00:02:34,520
and to the split for all operational costs.

26
00:02:34,860 --> 00:02:36,300
Above the minimum required contribution,

27
00:02:36,540 --> 00:02:38,700
shall be based upon the percentage share

28
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:41,740
of the five year rolling average of foundation enrollment

29
00:02:41,740 --> 00:02:44,940
beginning with the fiscal year 2016 for each town.

30
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:46,620
For the purposes of this agreement,

31
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,400
the term foundation enrollment shall be substantial conformance

32
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,280
with this definition utilized by the Commonwealth Department

33
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,440
of Elementary and Secondary Education,

34
00:02:57,260 --> 00:02:58,180
otherwise known as Desi.

35
00:02:58,180 --> 00:03:04,280
Section 4 shall be amended by adding the following subsection for as follows.

36
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,860
With respect to the percentage split of the district's capital costs and expenditures,

37
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:16,740
one-year-armist shall bear 65% in Dennis, shall bear 35% of the capital costs split for

38
00:03:16,740 --> 00:03:21,320
the building project to replace the mannequies and wicks and schools to be allocated on station

39
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:21,760
avenue.

40
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,920
And to the capital cost split for all other capital expenses and projects shall be in

41
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:35,920
accordance with the current regional agreement as may be otherwise amended, or to take any other action relative there too.

42
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,240
Mr. Chair, I move to place and support this article as printed.

43
00:03:41,020 --> 00:03:45,180
Second, most has been made in second for the discussion. Hearing none of those in favor?

44
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:45,520
Chair?

45
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:46,660
Aye.

46
00:03:48,260 --> 00:03:48,800
Chris, aye.

47
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:56,300
And just to let folks know, we will also have this warrant article on our website, too, for you to take a look at.

48
00:03:57,740 --> 00:04:08,200
Next, consider a request for Cape Cod Regional Economic Development Council letter of support for regional economic development organization, otherwise known as a redoucrant.

49
00:04:08,740 --> 00:04:15,440
Mr. Chair, reading this over the first sentence, I think we need to reword it, it sounds odd.

50
00:04:15,740 --> 00:04:23,160
It currently reads, the Dennis Board of Selectman is in full support of funding of the regional economic development organization,

51
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:30,460
in parentheses redo grant to the Cape Cod Economic Development Council in partnership with the

52
00:04:30,460 --> 00:04:32,780
Plymouth and Cape Cod Chambers of Commerce.

53
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:41,580
And I think it might sound better if it reads where we get rid of the funding of, and maybe

54
00:04:41,580 --> 00:04:53,140
it reads something along the lines of the Dennis Select Board is in full support of the regional

55
00:04:53,140 --> 00:05:00,160
funding being awarded to the Cape Cod Economic Development Council, or keep everything

56
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:06,140
the way it is, except for at the end of redo, put in through a grant to.

57
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:09,440
I like the first way to set it.

58
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:16,080
So the first way I had said it was the Dennis Selectboard is in full support of the redo grant

59
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,400
funding being awarded to the CCEDC.

60
00:05:21,260 --> 00:05:24,020
You want to move that with your edits?

61
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:25,040
So moved.

62
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:29,120
Motion's been made in seconder for the discussion.

63
00:05:29,780 --> 00:05:31,000
Hearing none of those in favor say aye.

64
00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:31,500
Aye.

65
00:05:31,780 --> 00:05:32,900
Opposed to abstain to passes.

66
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:34,520
Thank you.

67
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,060
Next, consider a request for signs on town property for DUI

68
00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:41,700
Banned Parents, Fundraiser, and Mighty Media and 5K.

69
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,600
Is anyone present who would like to speak on this issue?

70
00:05:45,620 --> 00:05:47,020
Hearing none, I'll bring it back.

71
00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:48,140
Oh, absolutely.

72
00:05:48,860 --> 00:05:51,500
Please come up to the mic and tell us who you are.

73
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:57,560
Just make sure the green light is on before you start so they can be, so you can be heard over the system.

74
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,380
So you may need to push the button.

75
00:06:03,820 --> 00:06:04,400
Thank you.

76
00:06:04,420 --> 00:06:04,860
Thank you.

77
00:06:05,420 --> 00:06:06,640
My name is Margaret Martin.

78
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,020
And I am a band parent.

79
00:06:08,860 --> 00:06:11,460
And I am just here to represent the band parents.

80
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,000
I understand that you received a letter.

81
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:25,900
And we were unaware of the necessary actions that need to be taken care of prior to posting the signs.

82
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,120
So I imagine you know that some of the signs were posted and they had been removed.

83
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:42,660
And so we're seeking permission to install signs around the town to publicize our mattress sale to fundraise for the DUI ban parents association.

84
00:06:42,660 --> 00:06:45,660
Well, I'm sure we'd love to put them back up.

85
00:06:45,940 --> 00:06:49,680
If you wouldn't mind just telling us the details of the events that the folks at Home

86
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:52,380
can know about it, I'd like to speak if they wish.

87
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:53,080
Thank you.

88
00:06:53,480 --> 00:07:00,580
The band will be selling mattresses through a fundraising company, and this will be the third

89
00:07:00,580 --> 00:07:04,840
year that we've done so it will be Sunday, September 1st.

90
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:11,400
I honestly don't have this specific time in my memory or on my paper, but there are postings

91
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:19,640
downtown and the dy band has a website of its own, it's dyband.org, and I'm sure it's there too.

92
00:07:21,580 --> 00:07:27,080
So it's Sunday afternoon in the school, in the gyms, and the mattresses will be displayed.

93
00:07:27,140 --> 00:07:28,200
They're also pillows.

94
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:42,220
And they are significantly discounted, their name brands, and there is financing available, and you don't have to be present to purchase them if you look at the website.

95
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,400
You can purchase them from anywhere in the country, and the ban will benefit from those purchases.

96
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,900
Great. Thank you so much. Any questions from the board?

97
00:07:50,340 --> 00:07:58,140
No, Mr. Chair, I would like to make a motion. I move to approve the placement of the following sign locations.

98
00:07:58,140 --> 00:08:06,120
the banner to be placed at the transfer station along the fence entrance area and

99
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:12,400
then lawn sign locations. Island on 134 across from Barbara's bikes. Island

100
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:21,760
we're at Holcomb Rock and 134 meet. Corner of Route 134 and 6A. The corner of 134

101
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,960
there is no memorial park there. Island across from Dennis Public Market and one

102
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,660
in front of the Ezra Baker Elementary School.

103
00:08:31,690 --> 00:08:36,230
So the corner of 134 and 6A, which corner is that?

104
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:42,490
Because I don't know where the town owns property on the corner of 134 and 6A.

105
00:08:42,510 --> 00:08:44,150
Do they mean the little island?

106
00:08:45,450 --> 00:08:46,230
I believe so.

107
00:08:46,510 --> 00:08:49,130
That would not be allowed because that is a memorial.

108
00:08:49,130 --> 00:08:51,010
They're holding a whole batch of a road you're thinking.

109
00:08:51,190 --> 00:08:51,430
Nope.

110
00:08:51,810 --> 00:08:52,530
There's a memorial.

111
00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:55,790
At the end of 134 and 6A,

112
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,460
I walk by it every day.

113
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:09,720
We've had Memorial Day celebrations there, there is a memorial island there and if that's the intended place, I would have an objection to it.

114
00:09:09,980 --> 00:09:11,940
I wouldn't think that would be the intended place.

115
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:20,440
I know that along some of the public roads, there's a strip of land between the sidewalk and the road.

116
00:09:20,580 --> 00:09:21,940
But that's in the road layout.

117
00:09:21,940 --> 00:09:25,120
That's not, for my understanding, that's not town property.

118
00:09:26,620 --> 00:09:29,080
So especially on six A, that corner of six A,

119
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,540
that's all owned by the state.

120
00:09:30,980 --> 00:09:33,200
I don't believe there's any town property owned

121
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,140
on that intersection.

122
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,300
So we might want to ask on the smuggler

123
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,200
if they might want to do that, because they have a lot of high school

124
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,360
kids working there and that sort of thing.

125
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,440
So that might be a good, and that's private, of course.

126
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,760
but if it's intended to be that island,

127
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,480
I would be objecting to that.

128
00:09:54,820 --> 00:09:56,260
Bob, do you want to amend your motion?

129
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:56,840
I do.

130
00:09:57,380 --> 00:09:58,720
And I'm just looking at here.

131
00:09:59,060 --> 00:10:00,260
I don't see any other way around.

132
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:00,820
It's worse than that.

133
00:10:00,820 --> 00:10:02,040
How about if we amend the motion

134
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,000
to just eliminate that one location?

135
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,360
Thank you.

136
00:10:05,580 --> 00:10:06,180
That's it.

137
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,060
Yeah, OK.

138
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,720
Mr. Chair, I'd like to amend the motion

139
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,540
by removing item number three, the corner of 134 and 6A.

140
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,100
Second.

141
00:10:15,420 --> 00:10:17,160
Most anticipated, seconded for the discussion.

142
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:18,940
Hearing none of those in favor say aye.

143
00:10:18,940 --> 00:10:21,100
I oppose abstain to passes.

144
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,100
Thank you very much.

145
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:22,440
Good luck.

146
00:10:22,820 --> 00:10:24,180
Thank you.

147
00:10:24,580 --> 00:10:31,130
And for the mighty me in 5k, which I believe is happening on September 8th at 10 a.m.

148
00:10:32,260 --> 00:10:33,240
at West Dennis Beach.

149
00:10:41,630 --> 00:10:45,110
I'm just, can we just talk about the list first before we make the motion that way we

150
00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:46,750
couldn't clean it up?

151
00:10:47,590 --> 00:10:50,670
The great Western road and the rail trail.

152
00:10:55,510 --> 00:10:58,730
I'm trying to think if that where is town property on Great Western?

153
00:10:59,730 --> 00:11:04,110
on the rail trail is that it's that

154
00:11:06,130 --> 00:11:07,930
I don't believe we own property

155
00:11:07,930 --> 00:11:13,470
with the new where the new lights have gone up at just just in just north of

156
00:11:13,470 --> 00:11:17,690
Great Western Road before you get to S&J X go on the right hand side I believe

157
00:11:17,690 --> 00:11:22,070
isn't that time probably with the rail trail is I do not believe so but you might

158
00:11:22,070 --> 00:11:26,250
okay why don't we eliminate that one then yeah I think that might be S&J

159
00:11:28,900 --> 00:11:29,440
we can

160
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,900
inform them to dig in that they can quiet with S&J

161
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:37,100
It could be that it's the road, if they're doing it in the road layout, that would be our road layout.

162
00:11:38,140 --> 00:11:41,400
I just couldn't think of it.

163
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:43,340
Route 134 in the rail to rail.

164
00:11:51,780 --> 00:11:53,140
Route 134 in Cittucket.

165
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,960
You talk about the Dana Senior Center.

166
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:56,860
I think that's it.

167
00:12:06,620 --> 00:12:10,300
I don't see any reason any of the other ones would be in this year.

168
00:12:20,550 --> 00:12:24,190
Route 134 in on the second page in Bob Crowell Road.

169
00:12:25,290 --> 00:12:27,250
Is that right in the intersection there?

170
00:12:27,710 --> 00:12:28,970
Is that what they mean in that island?

171
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:48,060
I would keep it out of the island, it's one, it's dangerous and one, it's a confusing

172
00:12:48,060 --> 00:12:53,640
intersection with high traffic area, and I would say maybe put it on the corner in the road

173
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:53,900
layout.

174
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,960
I would move the list as presented.

175
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,110
Second most is going to be in second for the discussion here in another of those in favor say aye

176
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,640
Opposive staying the passes

177
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,200
that completes our agenda

178
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,850
Of some may be in a second. All those in favor say aye. Thank you. I'll have a great night
