1
00:00:02,619 --> 00:00:04,639
[music]

2
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:20,240
All right. 6:32 call the meeting to
order.

3
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:25,519
Any modifications or changes to the
agenda?

4
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:29,920
I don't have any.
>> Any members of the public that wish to

5
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:34,800
comment that aren't on the agenda?
Um,

6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:40,320
I have been curious about I live on
senior housing and I've seen some

7
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:45,520
mirrors in corners where people can't
see coming out of streets and I wondered

8
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:50,079
when they've been considered near the
old phone building or whatever that's

9
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,000
right there at the end of school street
in Maine. And now the school's going to

10
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:58,559
begin and I said, "Oh, car's going to
park there." It's like kind of hard to

11
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:01,680
see out sometimes. That's my for the
night.

12
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,720
» It's definitely worth considering
>> something to make it a little bit easier

13
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:09,119
to see pulling out of there.
>> It's pulling off from school onto Maine.

14
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:12,640
» Onto Maine. Yep. Turn left or right
>> and to be able to see around

15
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:15,360
» when there's cars in front of the
bumblebee.

16
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:19,680
» The bumblebees got traffic and parking
cars going through and park.

17
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,479
» I don't come off that street very often.
So

18
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:28,159
» I avoid doing that.
>> I'll have to truck through. Yeah. Yeah.

19
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:33,920
Thank you. That's a good idea. I thought
this similar about um Pleasant and Depot

20
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,520
like the Bates building because again
it's kind of hard to see around.

21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,799
» There's one there's one tree in the
yard. That does make it a very short

22
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,799
growing apple tree.
>> Yeah.

23
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:53,040
» Okay.
>> All right. Next up, review and approve

24
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:57,720
minutes for July 28, 2026.
So, everybody had a chance to look those

25
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,720
over.

26
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:07,119
» I looked them over and I approve them.
>> All right.

27
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,759
» The motion to approve.
>> Motion to approve has been made. Is

28
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:12,640
there a second?
>> Second.

29
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,840
» Second by Heather. Any further
discussion?

30
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:20,760
» All those in favor? I
>> I opposed. So moved.

31
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:32,959
Next up, review and approve bids for the
2014 electric service truck.

32
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:36,360
Um, we have two bids.
See them there.

33
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:51,959
Looks Yeah, we had two bids. One for
156671

34
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,959
and one for $2,669.

35
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:59,440
» Sounds to me like we probably should
take the higher volume, but

36
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,599
» is that value?
>> I think that's more than enough.

37
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:07,519
» Okay.
>> Yeah, I think the 2,000 is

38
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,599
» Okay.
Okay.

39
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,760
Need
>> a motion for that. Can we take a motion

40
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,840
to accept the $2,669
bid?

41
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,720
» Make the motion.
>> All second. Moved and seconded. Any

42
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:25,672
further discussion? All those in favor?
I

43
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:29,040
» I opposed. So no.
[clears throat] Next up, review bid

44
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:37,040
estimates for grant vegetation
management estimated 8,900 ft.

45
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:42,879
So, we have um we put the bid opening up
at the end of last Friday. We had four

46
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:45,879
bids in um all fairly similar, I think.
Um

47
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:53,120
they actually all came in lower than I
expected. We're going to add some more

48
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:58,440
footage to this. Um
but you have the four bids there. Um

49
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:07,360
I can speak to any of them I think if
you need me to.

50
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:12,080
Uh on a limb tree service parent you
haven't

51
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:17,040
I think we ever used them but we'd asked
and he was not at first he seemed like

52
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:23,440
he wasn't comfortable working on live
power. Um but you know we put it out

53
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:28,960
this would be and
Allan talked to him and didn't seem to

54
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:33,600
be a problem. Um Jordan we use cold
hollow cold holo something they call it.

55
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:39,919
Um
you know we use him yearly for about a

56
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:46,560
mile tree trimming and vegetation
management. Yeah.

57
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:52,560
» Um Larvy we've never used. Um
I don't really know too much about their

58
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:56,720
I guess tree trimming abilities. Um if
they've ever done it around live wire. I

59
00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:06,800
don't know that. Um
Eustace uh we just hired them this past

60
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:11,680
winter. They did a um a few miles on um
>> Pearly Road.

61
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,720
» Um they did a good job. They worked
pretty well. Work right through the

62
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:19,120
cold.
Um, I put the start date next week or

63
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:24,479
the week after and they have at the end
of the year. Um, and again, we're just

64
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:28,800
trying to we have a grid grant meeting
tomorrow. Um,

65
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:32,800
this is all through the grid grant, so
we should be able to increase these

66
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:37,120
miles. Um, we'll probably balance it out
because we have to do so many miles per

67
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:41,520
year for vegetation management
with the 8,900 ft. We'll probably be

68
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:45,120
pretty close this year to what we need
to be. We can always move that to next

69
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:51,000
year. We don't have to spend that money
by the end of this year by any means.

70
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,000
So, um,

71
00:05:51,280 --> 00:06:00,639
so that's that's where it's at. Um,
they're all pretty low. I've never used

72
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:07,280
this, so that one's new to me. They are
um um they do more cable and fiber. They

73
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:11,840
run a lot of cable and fiber for gas
home companies. do a lot of construction

74
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:16,400
for those types of companies, not power.
>> Seen the trucks around.

75
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:21,520
» Yeah. Last I mean, they just started
their tree trimming. They hired a guy. I

76
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:25,759
don't um it seemed like he definitely
knew what he was talking about and he's

77
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:29,199
done. He's that's what he did his prior
life. So, they kind of started this new

78
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:33,919
division as far as tree trimming was
concerned before palies of home

79
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:38,880
companies. Um like I said, we hired them
to try them out, but they did a good

80
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,880
job.

81
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:48,319
And is this going to be like this will
be

82
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:56,000
on roads, off road? The areas we have
right now are stone um stone house road.

83
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:58,720
» Mhm. That's a main line that feeds all
the way up through it kind of

84
00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:02,400
» post and all that.
>> Yeah. It feeds a big territory. We have

85
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:05,919
a big phase that goes up there. So yeah,
basically from the carpenter farm all

86
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,479
the way up to Boston Post. There's some
sections in there we're not doing, but a

87
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:16,880
majority of that. Uh the corner of
Boston Post and Nicholls Road down about

88
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:23,759
1,600 ft. We're going to have them do
that. And then we're going to have them

89
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:28,639
do um there's a section on um
on U Joy Road that's very thick. We're

90
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:34,400
going to have him do that for starters.
Then we may add on this

91
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:37,440
basic fit. Those are three areas we're
going to hit. I mean, there's more areas

92
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,039
we could definitely do. All of Nichols
Road pretty much needs to be hit, but

93
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:46,080
again,
to try to hit the best bang for your

94
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:49,280
buck, homes,
>> right,

95
00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:53,360
» I think I all the [snorts] guys, we all
agreed kind of Stonehouse starting there

96
00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:57,599
and working our way out.
>> So, were you happy with uh Jordan St.

97
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:03,599
Pierre?
>> Uh, yeah, we never I mean, we never had

98
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:07,039
an issue with his work by any means. Um,
>> and he does some every year.

99
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:11,599
» He does. Yeah, he does it every year.
And you know, we've called him during

100
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:14,800
storms and he's stopped what he's doing
and gone and helped no matter what time,

101
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:19,440
night, or whatever.
>> Has all the right insuranceances.

102
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,160
» Yeah. Yeah. Yes. No. Yeah. Anybody would
have to send in their

103
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:29,919
» COI in there.
>> I feel we we should keep it local. Yep.

104
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:32,919
» I'm not for keeping it local, Jordan.
>> Yeah.

105
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:43,200
Somebody's got to move on it.
>> So, would the um motion be to include

106
00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:47,600
additional
footage up until a certain amount or

107
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:50,000
would we just be approving this budget
number?

108
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,680
» Um
we could probably approve this one and

109
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,920
then yeah, in the next meeting I'll
probably look to add more if we need to

110
00:08:55,279 --> 00:09:03,600
or if I need to come back I will. Okay.
Um, would they have to bid again?

111
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:08,640
» I don't think so, cuz once we once we
have somebody working, then you can add

112
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,320
on.
>> Yeah,

113
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,800
» that's kind of why I was wondering if
you wanted to give like another boost

114
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,920
because then you can make a
>> an adjustment without coming back to us.

115
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:22,959
» I mean, if you want to add that in
there, you can add in, you know,

116
00:09:19,839 --> 00:09:29,200
accepting this bid and then additional
footage if needed or as needed.

117
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,440
» Yeah. Yeah. What do we have a cap?
>> What's our budget?

118
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,120
» Yeah,
>> we got to find out tomorrow. It's It's

119
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,480
We have some money to spend. It's
probably like 150,000.

120
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,800
» Okay. So, we're well under
>> Well under.

121
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:43,839
» Yeah.
>> So,

122
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,680
what would be a reasonable amount to
just

123
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,720
do? How many feet do you think you want
to add?

124
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,040
» Um, I can go grab
>> half an idea.

125
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:57,360
» I would do Nicholls Road, which I think
was 6,500.

126
00:09:55,839 --> 00:09:59,920
So
>> probably if we say no more than double

127
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,279
» Yep.
>> the bid amount, we should be covered.

128
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:07,440
» 60,000,
>> right? Basically make it an even number.

129
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:08,959
» Yeah. 60,000. And then if it ends up
being something different, then come to

130
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,160
us
>> and we can come back now.

131
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:17,040
» Yeah. Um so I'll make the motion to
accept the bid from Jordan St. Pierre uh

132
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:21,760
capping it with adjustments at uh
$60,000.

133
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:26,160
» Motion has been made. Is there a second?
I'll second.

134
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:30,880
» All right. Any further discussion?
All those in favor? I

135
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,519
» I opposed.
So moved.

136
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:37,120
» I wasn't worried I didn't come back
again. The only timeline we have with

137
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:40,399
the grid grant, it's not really the grid
grant per se. It's the vegetation

138
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,440
manager. I want to kind know how much we
can get done, right?

139
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:47,279
» Our crew hours they're done. We don't
need to do anymore. If we can get all

140
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:54,800
this in here for this year, that's only
time. I can always come back if

141
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,800
through the grant ask for more.

142
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:03,519
I I missed something on modifications
and changes to agenda.

143
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:11,279
Unless it's on a different page. Never
mind. This page I'm good. Okay.

144
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:16,839
All right. So, next up, wastewater water
allocation request for 102 street.

145
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:30,279
Um just I think they're just adding a
the unit on the at 102. Um, waste water

146
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,279
doesn't see any issues.

147
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,440
Well, it's good with me if it's good
with them.

148
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:52,519
So, we'll take a motion to approve the
wastewater water allocation request for

149
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,519
102 streets.

150
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,800
Yes.
>> You want to move?

151
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,040
» All right. Leonard moved. Is there a
second?

152
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:06,959
» I'll second.
>> Excuse me. Moved and seconded. Is there

153
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:13,120
any further discussion? All those in
favor? I

154
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:18,639
» I opposed. So move.
Next up, review and make a motion on

155
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:22,000
water allocation findings.
So,

156
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,440
take a minute to read through that if
you haven't already. That first page.

157
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:34,360
» Yeah.
>> And Caroline said she also speak to

158
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,360
» Yeah.

159
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,360
Any

160
00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:04,880
questions so far, ma'am?
>> No, I'm

161
00:13:03,839 --> 00:13:08,720
very busy.
>> Taking it all in.

162
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:14,639
» What it means?
It's not my job.

163
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,639
» We'd be glad to have you.

164
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,800
So it sounds looks like from years ago
some money should have been moved that

165
00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:34,720
was never removed
that we're gathering.

166
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:43,360
» Yeah. So it's it's kind of more a
technical, you know, we need approval to

167
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:48,000
um so we got advice from um KBS and the
auditors on how to handle this where it

168
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:52,880
should have move been moved all those
years and when it's moved is supposed to

169
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:57,199
be used for these purposes. So it kind
of was used for these purposes through

170
00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:01,120
the years. It's just the technical
moving

171
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:08,320
and getting the approval to move back
and forth didn't happen. So, we're

172
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:13,199
getting it now to document that um Lor's
findings are correct and that we have

173
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:20,440
the approval to do what we should have
done. Did that make sense? Yes. Okay,

174
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,440
great. Thank you.

175
00:14:44,399 --> 00:14:48,639
We definitely have plenty of projects,
emergency repairs.

176
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:54,240
» Yes.
>> So, she was very thorough. Lori was very

177
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:58,560
thorough in pulling out all the, you
know, the past documents showing, you

178
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:03,639
know, those expenses
um

179
00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:03,639
qualified.

180
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:23,639
It looks like we have the documentation
to back this up.

181
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,639
So, Makes sense.

182
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,640
Oh, shoot.

183
00:17:52,902 --> 00:17:54,922
» [snorts]

184
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:25,120
» Well, I guess it couldn't
is what it is. It's It's in the past.

185
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:29,600
So, I just we need to know what motion
to make to clear it all up.

186
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,600
» Looks like Lori kind of laid it out for
us.

187
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:38,320
» Um
make a retroactive motion acknowledging

188
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:42,000
that the water allocation fees collected
during that period were expended on

189
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:45,919
qualifying water department capital
maintenance emergency or expansion

190
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:49,559
related costs in accordance with the
intent of the ordinance.

191
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:58,640
That sounds good to me if somebody wants
to move on it.

192
00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:02,160
» I will make that retroactive motion.
>> All right, motion's on the table. Is

193
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:05,520
there a second?
I'll second.

194
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:09,760
Move and seconded. Is there any further
discussion?

195
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:14,640
Those in favor? I
>> I opposed.

196
00:19:11,919 --> 00:19:19,840
So moved.
Next up, joint meeting date 10:5 or

197
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:24,400
10:19. Thoughts on agenda items?
Policing, trash ordinance, bridge 50.

198
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:28,960
» Um, [snorts] we kind of went over this
once already. Uh, we had to postpone it.

199
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,799
Um,
so I don't know if I mean that's what we

200
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:36,240
had on the agenda last time for
thoughts. I didn't know if anybody can't

201
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:42,640
come up with anything different or new.
If not, then I'll close that back

202
00:19:39,919 --> 00:19:46,720
to Joe. And they're obviously both
Mondays. That fifth and

203
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:51,919
» is that their regular meeting night?
>> I think so. Yeah, the fifth would work

204
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:56,640
better for me. I think I might be gone
on the 19th,

205
00:19:54,160 --> 00:20:01,520
but then [snorts] again, I'm have to be
here.

206
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:05,919
» Think I make both days, but the 19th is
preferable for me.

207
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:10,000
» At least one half a dozen the other for
me. I don't care.

208
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:13,760
» How about you?
You're retired. You're doing nothing.

209
00:20:12,418 --> 00:20:16,320
[laughter]
You won't be mowing along.

210
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,480
It's
>> just Yeah, that's

211
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:24,120
» You never know.
>> Wait a minute. Isn't that

212
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:34,799
» I guess if the fifth's better for Jason,
I can do either. You can

213
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:40,960
» I can make it work. I just early morning
the next day. That's fine.

214
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:44,799
So, I guess we'll shoot for the fifth.
>> I will confirm what days I will be on.

215
00:20:43,679 --> 00:20:48,000
» We'll shoot for it. We got a couple
months, we can

216
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,440
» if we can adjust back for a little for
sure.

217
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:55,679
» Those were the like the the um select
board said those two dates worked.

218
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:59,520
» That's what Billy Joe Yeah. throughout.
>> And we heard uh Dave said one way or the

219
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,960
other.
>> I haven't heard anything either from

220
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:07,600
Dave.
>> Okay. Okay.

221
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:07,600
» Yeah. I didn't ask him a date on that.

222
00:21:08,159 --> 00:21:13,280
I guess if we think of agenda items as
we get closer

223
00:21:12,159 --> 00:21:17,640
fill in the agenda.
>> Yep. No, I can. Yeah, we can definitely

224
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:27,280
» All right. Uh number nine, Fire
Department's annual coin drop request.

225
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:33,600
» Uh same day as Harvest Fest. Um I guess
they do it every year. Um,

226
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:40,960
they bring all their phones and yellow
jackets and stuff, high viz stuff.

227
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,400
» Uh, it's 20 20th
>> 19

228
00:21:41,679 --> 00:21:44,799
» 19th
>> Saturday

229
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:48,799
» 19th of September.
>> September.

230
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,760
» From 9 to 2.
>> From 9 to 2. Thank you.

231
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:59,200
» Make a motion to approve that. It's kind
of good event every year.

232
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,600
» All right.
>> Second.

233
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:06,320
» Motion has been made and second. Any
further discussion?

234
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:10,120
» What are they used to?
>> It goes to their nonprofit.

235
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:17,360
» They have a I believe a 501c3
set up.

236
00:22:16,870 --> 00:22:19,760
[snorts]
>> Thank you.

237
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,799
» Yep.
>> Uh all those in favor? I

238
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,120
» I
>> opposed.

239
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:33,280
So moved
>> on that. I don't I mean bring up other

240
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:37,200
business too. Um
I don't know if the village wants to do

241
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:44,000
something done open houses. I don't know
if we can pull something together before

242
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:47,760
then but couple as two 250th
>> anniversary if we're going to do

243
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:52,960
something. I don't know. I I don't know
if it would be village or if it'd be

244
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:57,440
I just think if that would be a time
that would be the day or that night

245
00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:02,159
afterwards, but I don't know
what that look like.

246
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:05,200
» I have no idea. I just I've been asked a
couple times just throw it out there.

247
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:07,679
Maybe I want to brainstorm quickly and
think

248
00:23:06,159 --> 00:23:15,200
» much time.
>> Yeah. The standard park len parks

249
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:19,280
decorated and that's a good idea.
>> Yep. I mean, we could decorate a little

250
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:22,320
bit more. I We usually put corn stalks
out and stuff or harvest fat. You know,

251
00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:26,000
it's usually hay bales and stuff over
there, but

252
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:29,120
um
but if you wanted to get more more flags

253
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,000
or more
>> so that would happen.

254
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:37,600
» It's like a 250
if like feel like it's a Fourth of July

255
00:23:35,919 --> 00:23:41,280
celebration is kind of what
>> that's kind of where I was at with it,

256
00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:45,039
» but we're months past that.
>> Well, I guess that's the [snorts]

257
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,559
remark. Yeah, I think majority of people
did it on July 4th or villages or towns

258
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:52,400
or whatever. We
>> but supposedly there's been others like

259
00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:56,400
off. We don't normally the other towns
around us do a lot and really pull a lot

260
00:23:54,240 --> 00:24:02,039
of resources and people if we tried to
we didn't we could have maybe done

261
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,039
something but

262
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,480
» so everywhere

263
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,200
» um

264
00:24:19,919 --> 00:24:24,880
something to think Oh, I don't know.
Yeah, maybe he's just adding some more.

265
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,200
We buy a few more flags, put in the park
for that.

266
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:31,360
» Maybe just some straight American flags
cuz I don't know that we get customized

267
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,440
flags in that amount of time.
>> The other ones came pretty quick. I

268
00:24:32,559 --> 00:24:36,720
don't know if they're sold out. I don't
know that.

269
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:39,919
» I don't know either.
>> So,

270
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:45,679
I'm just trying to think of the events
that they normally have at Harvest Fest

271
00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:51,840
besides the vendors.
Um,

272
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:57,440
just trying to remember what they do
where something that we could add to it

273
00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:00,240
would benefit and and add
>> I don't think they have it other than

274
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,279
the music. I don't think they have like
other events. I mean, it's just it's a

275
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,400
market
>> cuz they don't even do the wine thing

276
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:10,000
anymore. That's how it started, right? I
don't think they do that anymore cuz

277
00:25:07,827 --> 00:25:14,559
[snorts] they haven't given me a permit
I think last year or two. Yeah, I think

278
00:25:11,919 --> 00:25:16,320
just they just had some vendors selling
some wine at one point.

279
00:25:15,919 --> 00:25:18,640
» Yes.
>> Yeah.

280
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:20,799
» But the library has children's
activities, I think, too.

281
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,200
» I do believe so. Yeah.
>> Yeah.

282
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:25,840
» But how about a birthday cake for the
country? Maybe something on the park at

283
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,880
that.
>> That's a great idea.

284
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:35,679
» A doable. It'll be decorated. I mean,
take a picture. It's

285
00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:40,159
» maybe a local baker if you do.
>> I'm not in charge.

286
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:46,080
» But that's a good idea. Yeah. Maybe the
village has a booth or um the or whoever

287
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:49,520
you could have the info booth
>> or something and people could come for a

288
00:25:47,679 --> 00:25:54,880
birthday cake.
>> Yeah, that's great.

289
00:25:52,080 --> 00:26:00,559
» Yeah.
>> You want me looking for flags or

290
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:05,523
» you can check the delivery time?
>> I think Jerry should give ice cream with

291
00:26:01,919 --> 00:26:05,523
the cake. [laughter]

292
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:13,200
» They do the dairy fast. Yeah.
>> Your job to find a freezer now,

293
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,200
» huh? It's
>> your job to find a freezer now.

294
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,120
» I have a big stand up freezer I'm not
using.

295
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,679
» I think they brought up a whole truck
last time.

296
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:27,880
» They just parked it over there full of
ice cream with a reaper.

297
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,880
» Okay.

298
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:37,360
» Some good some good ideas.
>> All right.

299
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:44,559
Think Allen's on deck for this next one.
Kendall will discuss hydro options.

300
00:26:39,919 --> 00:26:48,000
» Um, yeah, Alan's here to help
advise where we're at.

301
00:26:46,159 --> 00:26:51,679
» This one,
>> there's there's some in the pack and

302
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,200
then that one just came today. So,
>> um,

303
00:26:51,919 --> 00:26:57,440
» that goes with that, though.
>> It goes with it. So, basically, we have

304
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:02,159
three options. I'm going to put the side
tonight, but we're going to decide kind

305
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:06,240
of quickly. And then you want more
informative where we're at and where

306
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:09,440
some Dawn numbers were at. So, I don't
even know here. Alan, do you have this

307
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:15,360
one? I don't know if you saw this. This
came in like at 3:00. I saw it earlier.

308
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:19,600
Um,
so Alan probably I'll I'll tee it up and

309
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:23,679
Allan can probably be a little more
technical if he wants and if you have

310
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:28,559
questions, but basically we have three
options we're looking at. So, the

311
00:27:25,679 --> 00:27:35,120
Kendall went down um a couple months
ago. We did have uh Fairbanks come and

312
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:40,640
they pulled it out. They brought it back
to their shop and then took it apart and

313
00:27:37,679 --> 00:27:46,880
brought part of it to a different shop.
Um I believe we're about 18,000

314
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:50,400
into that.
>> 17.

315
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:57,919
» Yeah. So 17 to 18,000 just to have it
pulled and looked at. So basically we

316
00:27:53,120 --> 00:28:03,840
have three options. We we did do a
measurement and looked at a new unit

317
00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:11,360
and those came back around 800,000.
So, they're not giving those away.

318
00:28:06,399 --> 00:28:14,360
Um, how old is this one?
>> 45

319
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:21,039
years.
>> But the problem with this is this they

320
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,159
don't make them anymore. So, you're
getting married.

321
00:28:21,919 --> 00:28:31,200
» That's what I was wondering. uh one
individual tire that we need to replace

322
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:34,200
was 65
65.

323
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,640
So

324
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:48,080
um but so so the three options is the
new one. The second option is what I the

325
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:54,559
actual the Fairbanks one
that came in about 100,000. That's to

326
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:59,679
repair it back to its current state the
way it was. And again, now I'll be more

327
00:28:57,039 --> 00:29:03,630
technical current state the way it was
when it was working.

328
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:07,120
» When it was working, not working.
[laughter]

329
00:29:05,039 --> 00:29:11,440
Um,
you want to speak to the blades and the

330
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:15,840
and what it what that means by current
state or

331
00:29:13,279 --> 00:29:19,600
» the state it was before it was broken.
>> The way this operates now, you got three

332
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,679
hydraulic plates down here. You got to
raise the lower

333
00:29:21,679 --> 00:29:28,559
line.
>> So when

334
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:32,960
we can actually lower the plates to
adjust to

335
00:29:31,039 --> 00:29:37,360
so we're not totally shutting it down.
So we can still have the flow more over

336
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:41,760
the dam.
So that's

337
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:45,679
reason why we like the other option was
what we're getting to. They they're

338
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:51,120
suggesting put the blades in a fixed
position

339
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:55,200
» and run the
>> water level

340
00:29:52,399 --> 00:30:03,039
» water level with the head gates. And
that's not the way that's really set up,

341
00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:07,600
» right? cuz that stops completely if we
sit.

342
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:14,320
» Yeah, gates are designed
>> to adjust the bypass flow, but they're

343
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:18,000
gates are just made to protect if
needed, right?

344
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:20,640
» It's the blades hydraulics that were
more designed.

345
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:23,279
» So that could add extra stress on the
gates,

346
00:30:21,679 --> 00:30:28,799
» right? So you have to go up there and
adjust it. So say

347
00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:34,960
that particular Gary Dar has got like a
CS week. So it lowers El time.

348
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:41,520
So say somebody's not there to babysit
me 24/7

349
00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:47,840
to accommodate for the river elevation
and you go home at night, come back in.

350
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:52,799
So there's kind of a gray area there.
Not not really thoroughly convinced that

351
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:56,240
that's the right way to go with that.
>> Mhm.

352
00:30:53,600 --> 00:31:02,240
» Cuz they say they can do it, but cuz
you're going to be starting it up

353
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:06,559
with it full open, which is not normal
for it.

354
00:31:04,159 --> 00:31:11,840
And when you get your adjusting your
hertz to bring it online, you're going

355
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:17,039
to be more load
stress to the electrical end of things

356
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:22,799
for it.
So that's kind of like

357
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:29,360
it'll work, but it's not ideal.
>> The only positive that is it be the

358
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:33,919
quick fix couple months
always.

359
00:31:31,919 --> 00:31:37,440
» Okay, it be quick fixing and
>> that's for 100.

360
00:31:35,919 --> 00:31:40,960
» No,
they give us price on that. I thought

361
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:47,120
they had
>> I didn't see it in here.

362
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,120
They did.

363
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:54,000
For some reason, I thought it was like
20,000 or something like that.

364
00:31:51,919 --> 00:31:57,600
» Put it Put it back together and put it
back in fix.

365
00:31:56,399 --> 00:32:02,000
» Yeah, cuz they're not really doing
anything. Basically, just take leave the

366
00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:06,840
parts off they took off and just put our
blade back on and throw them back in the

367
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,840
hole.

368
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:16,320
and no real way of
adjusting it.

369
00:32:13,679 --> 00:32:20,519
And that's one of the main factors that
lights down the

370
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:29,360
not so that got loose when it dropped
the shaft so they got water into the

371
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:34,320
oil.
So it was compromised

372
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:40,240
between this
uh

373
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:44,399
$1,000 manifold manifold.
>> I had to struggle with that.

374
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:49,919
» Just a turbine with a blade. I don't
know. I can't see how stuff is that

375
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:54,320
much. But
so with the if we do the $100,000

376
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:58,000
repair,
you think we get 10 years out of it? You

377
00:32:55,919 --> 00:33:01,919
think we'll get a year out of it? like
hard telling not knowing,

378
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:04,080
» right? I mean,
>> is the rest of the unit in real bad

379
00:33:03,679 --> 00:33:07,120
shape
>> the way it huh?

380
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:09,679
» Is the rest of the unit in horrible
shape?

381
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:15,760
» Yeah, it's not too too bad. You know, it
says some in the water and stuff. It

382
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:18,640
gets debris in here. You know, blades
get damaged, so on and so forth.

383
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,120
» What do you mean the new one's going to
get that?

384
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:26,559
» Well,
it's kind of a different setup.

385
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:29,679
So, I know it's a lot more money. I
don't know if you want to explore this,

386
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:34,960
but
if you take a look inside that turbine,

387
00:33:31,919 --> 00:33:39,679
there's a flat blade that's 6t diameter,
right? That's a hole that's about 20 ft

388
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:44,720
deep.
So, they're suggesting put the generator

389
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:50,960
head on top
with a shaft down there. No hydraulics

390
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,960
up there, but you still can adjust it up
top

391
00:33:54,960 --> 00:34:02,799
» like a winch or something or
>> Yeah, you can run it with, you know, it

392
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:05,840
would be an auto. You can adjust it
right up top. You know what I'm saying?

393
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:11,119
» But all hydraulics would be on the top
versus

394
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:16,720
one shaft. It just all be shaft and the
blades, right?

395
00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:23,919
It's a lot more money for that. But I
feel that you can do what you want. Put

396
00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:28,399
this back assembly and budgeted for
something a little bit more efficient. I

397
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:33,839
mean, it was this one company that went
through that suggested that. I kind of

398
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:36,560
like the idea, but it's a lot of money
for what it produces,

399
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:39,760
» right?
>> You got to look at that.

400
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:42,800
» Would we see any sort of increase in
production

401
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,679
» with a new unit? be a little bit more
efficient.

402
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:50,240
» See a little increase.
>> Again, we got to watch that end of

403
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:52,960
things cuz we aren't licensed to operate
so much.

404
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:59,599
» Well, again, I mean, we're in our FK
license. We notify that it's down. We

405
00:34:56,240 --> 00:35:02,400
notify FK that it's down and that,
you know, we don't know what we put back

406
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:09,920
in there. So, we don't know what we're
going to do. So we may be we're trying

407
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:14,640
to adjust our going after the license
not knowing as opposed to finishing the

408
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:19,040
license which wasn't going to happen
anyway and then amending asking for

409
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:28,240
amendment come back and say well now
this unit can produce 400 AW

410
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:32,440
300. Um so we we have leeway with FK.
It's not like it's a done deal.

411
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:37,680
Again, we don't have to decide that
tonight. I'm just trying to keep in the

412
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:42,800
loop and we're trying to unless I unless
you're like, "No, let's throw the other

413
00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:47,520
the quick fix in. Let's get it back in
the hole." Other than that, I mean,

414
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,400
through it.
>> I would.

415
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:54,160
» Any idea how much we're losing per day
it's down?

416
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:57,160
» We did that calculation.
>> Um,

417
00:35:57,359 --> 00:36:02,720
» I can go
>> I can't go get that. You say you

418
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:07,760
overload the system if we're the way
that they want to operate it like that.

419
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:11,599
Like I would hate to cause issues to a
station because we're putting too much

420
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:16,480
power in or
>> to me there's a lot of ger that they're

421
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:19,200
saying that it can be done that way,
>> right?

422
00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:22,480
» I'm not terribly
that's the right way to go.

423
00:36:21,839 --> 00:36:27,070
» I mean there's
>> their engineers are saying it it would

424
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:34,240
work that way. This is another uh
[snorts] outfit that uh

425
00:36:30,079 --> 00:36:41,280
ATS for guys that work on that kind of
stuff that we hire out and fire banks

426
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:48,599
which actually
works on audio itself

427
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:48,599
that we hire out when we can't do it.

428
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:55,599
Um,
>> I mean, if you want to explore that

429
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:58,800
option more, we can
get a little bit more info out of it. We

430
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:04,240
just
>> I mean, I would say probably at least

431
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:06,880
$15,000 a month past couple months,
>> but more in the spring,

432
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,320
» right?
>> You lose a lot almost double.

433
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:15,359
» Yeah. For the year.
>> Yeah. So, I think Didn't we do wasn't

434
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:19,680
125 a year?
>> Yeah. average you make, but there's

435
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:23,440
certain times of the year you make a lot
more and right now it's the low time of

436
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,920
year.
>> Mhm.

437
00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:28,640
» But pretty soon it won't be.
>> So I mean does that come back towards

438
00:37:27,359 --> 00:37:32,560
like I mean
>> yeah the killer too is right now we're

439
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:36,880
losing tier two racks.
>> So that wasn't including the racks right

440
00:37:35,599 --> 00:37:42,079
cost to us.
>> And what's the time estimate on the back

441
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:46,880
till the way it was?
>> I don't know that in there. I don't

442
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:50,320
think you put it in there for
>> repairing it back to the way

443
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:56,160
» that was.
>> Yeah, I don't think that's all right

444
00:37:53,119 --> 00:38:01,119
cuz we're losing 100,000 or 125 plus a
year. It cost 100,000 to get it fixed if

445
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:07,200
they can get it in 3 months and you use
it for 2 years. It gives you time to

446
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:12,320
budge it in. maybe doing a newer
replacement or maybe I know you can't

447
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,920
put money aside for it but
>> they might

448
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:17,040
» planning ahead.
>> They might allow us now to put reserves.

449
00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:24,640
» Okay.
>> Um when we're going for a rate case they

450
00:38:19,839 --> 00:38:28,560
said that now uh new administration have
>> realized that you really need reserves

451
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,880
to cover emergency.
Yeah.

452
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:36,800
» So the new administration is going to
allow us to put reserves aside which is

453
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:39,680
a good thing. Right. Which would help,
you know, like you said, if you get a

454
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:44,640
couple years out of that and then you
can start budgeting in and maybe

455
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:47,119
» do a repair of that as well as well.
Does this do anything with the

456
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:51,200
historical
>> end of it?

457
00:38:49,359 --> 00:38:54,760
» The building the building is historical
part.

458
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,760
» Okay.

459
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,760
» Okay.
>> We can follow up on that question. I

460
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:04,720
mean, I'm guessing it's
>> I wouldn't think it'd be too far off the

461
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:10,400
three months that they
I recommended norming the um quick fix.

462
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:15,839
Sorry.
Uh right. They did say that manifold

463
00:39:14,079 --> 00:39:20,040
which is busted. They got all black. I
can remember them saying that's like

464
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:26,119
a year
to get that.

465
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,119
» Oh, really?

466
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:34,560
» Or what's this man going to look like?
Basically, it's a cone shape that just

467
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:41,119
surrounds the
oil up, so say where the hoses come down

468
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:45,839
in. You got hoses way up top that you
have to bring the unit down in with from

469
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:53,280
up top and they go right down to the
bottom of the unit. And that's what

470
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:57,680
adjust the blade like I said earlier.
So, it's just a basically a manifold.

471
00:39:55,680 --> 00:40:00,079
Yeah, I just I've seen this rotary
manifold. It just seems like that one's

472
00:39:59,119 --> 00:40:02,160
a lot of money.
>> Mhm.

473
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:08,400
» So, I didn't know if it was gigantic.
>> Well, the one hydraulic line was

474
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:12,240
» that was what 400.
>> Oh, the the whole assembly.

475
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:14,960
» Well, remember that we changed
>> in the water?

476
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:17,680
» Yeah. Three of them. Yeah. It's probably
a bigger deal.

477
00:40:15,839 --> 00:40:22,880
» It's like that one.
>> This some special hydraulic line.

478
00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:27,400
» No, we
just kidding. [laughter]

479
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:27,400
You're under

480
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:34,160
that we fixed in the past. There's like
a

481
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:38,240
» I mean it's got a funky end on it.
>> Yeah. I priced that out brand new and

482
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:42,640
that was like 12 grand to have that
done.

483
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:46,320
That was just crazy.
>> Do you think it has something to do with

484
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,560
the the fact that it's in the water and
there's big stipulations and regulations

485
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,000
around that
>> stuff that gets down in here? I mean the

486
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:56,640
blade got compromised. Something got
down in there. who knows it gets through

487
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:59,040
the racks.
>> I mean,

488
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,839
» cuz the past couple years we've been
doing routine maintenance on it. We've

489
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:07,960
been pulling it out, which hadn't been
done when we was pulling it, doing oil

490
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,960
changes and stuff.

491
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,040
» It gets a lot of use.

492
00:41:14,319 --> 00:41:18,000
» This isn't something we need to decide
on.

493
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:22,400
» No, no, no. We can I mean I can meet
back in the next meeting or next two

494
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:25,440
meetings to maybe get a time frame.
>> Yeah. on that

495
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,760
» and then we can get you better numbers.
>> Yeah.

496
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,640
» The losing because it does depend on the
month.

497
00:41:28,079 --> 00:41:33,599
» The month.
>> So they did was it 5 years? They gave us

498
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:36,880
5 year history.
>> Yeah. [snorts]

499
00:41:34,079 --> 00:41:42,400
» Um so they gave us 5 year history of
what that um Kendo unit was producing.

500
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:45,520
But you got to take in consideration it
was one year why it was almost down the

501
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:49,760
whole year. Yeah.
>> So, take that year out

502
00:41:47,359 --> 00:41:54,000
» and then say what it is for the last
three

503
00:41:50,960 --> 00:42:00,160
» and that'll give you a good idea.
>> Okay. Um,

504
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:05,440
yeah. And then well, the 5year 2 is
skewed a bit lower

505
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:11,520
cuz that doesn't I can't remember was
last July or two Julies ago is when the

506
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:15,440
tier twos took effect. of those of those
five years, you know, we were getting

507
00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:18,640
paid out a tier two on I think this past
year.

508
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:24,880
» So that's just extra money that we're
losing now is we're not producing, but

509
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:28,079
» and averages are pretty okay to try to
figure this out.

510
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:34,680
» Yeah. [snorts] Okay.
>> So we come back with time frames and um

511
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,680
cost

512
00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:43,760
» lost money.
seems like you might be leaning more

513
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:46,880
towards a newer unit might remedy some
stuff.

514
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,560
» I think it'll be a better setup for the
situation,

515
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:54,480
» right?
>> I mean, we constantly are working on

516
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:57,520
that thing.
>> But also throw out there, I mean, what

517
00:42:56,079 --> 00:43:02,400
we might be able to bundle this. I don't
know. I'm going to ask. Um, they may I

518
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:08,240
got to find out some more information.
It's kind of late breaking, so that's

519
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:12,640
why I don't have it at my fingertips. Um
so with the solar project

520
00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:17,359
believe I mentioned all this so with the
solar project the village if it

521
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:25,520
continues
back and is working with encore kind of

522
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:28,640
keep it moving forward. Um, and the
village would actually be buying the

523
00:43:27,119 --> 00:43:34,960
project.
And one of the reasons why that would be

524
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:41,760
is because the bond bank would be the
lender and the bond bank lend to

525
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:47,119
municipalities. You can't lend to VEPSA.
Um, so that's considered renewable.

526
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:51,599
Solar project isn't renewable. And
that's what's got their ears perked up

527
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:54,960
about helping us do this project and
also [clears throat] part of the micro

528
00:43:52,640 --> 00:44:01,040
grid project. concept too.
>> So, um that's kind of all the talks we

529
00:43:58,319 --> 00:44:05,839
got going on right now. So, even though
it's a lot of money, we could tie it

530
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:11,200
into that too um
in one month sum

531
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:17,000
cuz I mean as we built the micro grid
concept, the hydros were able to were

532
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,000
part of that.

533
00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:23,520
you're kind of dead in the water without
that hydro because it I mean I don't

534
00:44:22,079 --> 00:44:27,599
know if you can even factored in that
price.

535
00:44:25,119 --> 00:44:31,359
I mean maybe that's a can analytically
or

536
00:44:29,359 --> 00:44:37,119
cuz now we're not able to run the
village at certain times because our

537
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:42,720
bypass flow CFS
where normally we've been able to. So

538
00:44:41,119 --> 00:44:45,720
but with that candle being out it killed
us.

539
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:52,800
So we'll do some more homework and get
back to you.

540
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:58,960
» Very good. Uh number 11 regulators
discuss regulators.

541
00:44:56,319 --> 00:45:05,760
So again we'll key it up and let Alan
get technical. Um we have three

542
00:45:02,319 --> 00:45:10,960
regulators at up at the substation that
we we need to change before next

543
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:16,400
triggering season. Um, I got I can get
the technical part of it

544
00:45:14,319 --> 00:45:20,079
and part of this also came back. There's
a couple of spec issues that we have

545
00:45:18,319 --> 00:45:25,040
with those regulators. And this came
through our um TND study that we had

546
00:45:23,119 --> 00:45:29,839
completed last year. And this is one of
the things the engineers recommended

547
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:34,480
kind of as first priority was to get
these regulators changed out. And on top

548
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:39,599
of that, the power, we've been having
issues during sugaring and we even had

549
00:45:36,079 --> 00:45:44,160
an issue this summer. Um, so basically
they have an odometer on them and let's

550
00:45:42,319 --> 00:45:48,160
say the odometer is supposed to be good
to 100,000. These things have like a

551
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:56,400
million on them. So they're way past
their lifespan. Um, in uh during the TND

552
00:45:52,800 --> 00:46:03,440
study, the engineer that we worked with
uh recommended or threw out the idea

553
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:07,760
holding mass has a municipality uh power
light department.

554
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:13,520
um they have like six or seven
regulators

555
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:16,960
um that we could use. We could buy from
them. They're 10 grand each. We're

556
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:21,680
thinking about buying four, having a
spare and buying three. Um there is a

557
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:26,240
company not too far from them that would
come kind of give them a another

558
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:32,640
inspection and
uh tuneup type thing. Um and they sent

559
00:46:29,839 --> 00:46:35,920
all the spec sheets and stuff. So that's
kind of one option. So, I guess overall,

560
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:40,240
yes, we need to get these regulars
changed out. We're presenting these

561
00:46:37,599 --> 00:46:48,480
options. So, that's one option. Second
option, if you look in here, is the TNR.

562
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:52,640
These are refurbished. They are $17,000
a piece.

563
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:56,960
Um,
but they come with a a warranty,

564
00:46:54,319 --> 00:47:00,960
threeear warranty. So, if we bought
three of those, we'd be looking at about

565
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:06,880
51,000.
Um,

566
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:12,839
and then the last Allen did I think I
have it in here. Uh,

567
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,839
put it in here.

568
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:22,040
» Yes.
They're about the other 28 grand

569
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,040
25.

570
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:27,480
» Um,
another option.

571
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,160
Um,

572
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:38,720
we budgeted 40,000. We can budget to do
the the four.

573
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:44,880
So,
and Allan's going to get more into it.

574
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:49,920
Um, if you want more or you can um talk
to Allan, talk to Dave, talk to the guys

575
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:55,200
actually Sean and you know, they kind of
like the the um TNR ones cuz they have a

576
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:58,319
three-year warranty.
Um

577
00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:04,359
they're refurbished again. I know
they've been already gone through pretty

578
00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:04,359
thoroughly. Um

579
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:13,920
and uh my understanding too is you guys
like the controls are the same as what

580
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:17,359
we have now. So um we would have to hire
BEC to come in and help us swap these

581
00:48:15,839 --> 00:48:21,440
out. Their head end technician to come
in and help us.

582
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:27,280
Um
and we would be down probably we have to

583
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:32,640
take the whole village down for what
it'll be 3 4 hours anyway at best.

584
00:48:30,559 --> 00:48:35,839
» Yeah.
So we have to take the whole village

585
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:40,720
down just swap these things out. I'll be
doing during the day.

586
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:45,200
Um,
so that's [sighs] but this this I'd like

587
00:48:43,599 --> 00:48:50,720
to decide on and get moving on it cuz
like I said, we got I don't I mean the

588
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:54,319
ones in at Holden Mass those I can call
that guy. You know, they could be here

589
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:57,920
probably within a month.
Uh TNR for

590
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:01,280
» 4 to 6 weeks.
>> Four to six weeks. So I'd like to get

591
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:05,440
that order in so that we can get those
in here cuz again we want to get this we

592
00:49:04,240 --> 00:49:10,839
like to get it done before December
where it gets too cold. So

593
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,839
» Mhm. Um,

594
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:16,480
how long were the other ones you study
were those?

595
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:21,520
» I didn't see a time frame on that one.
I'm guessing they're at least 2 months

596
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:24,720
probably. Yeah. So,
um, so yeah, we got to kind of make a

597
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:29,920
decision on this. So,
>> TNRS were mid-range costwise, just over

598
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:37,040
what we budgeted.
>> Yeah, they're about 12,000 over.

599
00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:41,280
Where would we
pull that from

600
00:49:39,839 --> 00:49:44,480
any?
>> Not sure.

601
00:49:42,559 --> 00:49:47,359
» There's still
as far as finance it.

602
00:49:46,559 --> 00:49:50,359
» Mhm.
>> Um,

603
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,839
can we pull from that? I will see.

604
00:49:55,440 --> 00:50:02,960
» Oh. Um,
>> I think that there's

605
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:06,960
» We could Yeah, we could. There's I think
there's still a little bit more room

606
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:09,119
left on that line of credit.
>> Um

607
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:12,800
» that was kind of an overall line of
credit.

608
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:21,040
» Yeah, it just says general projects
um electrical general projects.

609
00:50:16,559 --> 00:50:25,760
You can also see uh I did um the first
six months a deep analysis on the

610
00:50:23,359 --> 00:50:31,680
electrical department and even though we
had budgeted over a million dollars as a

611
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:36,880
loss um for the first 6 months we earned
15,000

612
00:50:33,599 --> 00:50:43,599
um expenses over revenue. But that's
because these guys have been

613
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:47,359
not buying anything, not doing anything
on the bare minimum. and we are going to

614
00:50:45,599 --> 00:50:53,760
wait to see the rate increase finally
went into effect and we're gonna we were

615
00:50:50,319 --> 00:50:58,559
going to wait to see how that panned out
and then um with Franklin Foods cutting

616
00:50:56,480 --> 00:51:03,119
back how that was going to affect our
revenues. Um but just to let you know

617
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:09,040
the first 6 months were not as bad as
what was budgeted but just because they

618
00:51:05,359 --> 00:51:13,440
have been really frugal and very very
careful. Mhm.

619
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:19,839
» Two, we do have in there budgeting was a
$48,000 regulator for this year that

620
00:51:16,319 --> 00:51:22,319
we're it's it's
>> what

621
00:51:20,319 --> 00:51:27,280
» reclocure.
Sorry. Um that is a year out. So it's

622
00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:30,000
not
>> a year.

623
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:32,720
» Yeah. We're not going to get anyway.
>> Potentially budget that in for next

624
00:51:31,599 --> 00:51:35,680
year.
>> Rebudget for that.

625
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:38,800
» We'll have to rebudget for that next
year. Yeah.

626
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:44,319
» Okay.
So you're sliding out there and just

627
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:47,599
like computer they don't think right
>> knows anymore. So yeah,

628
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:52,640
» I mean I don't
>> stand by I don't know a lot about this

629
00:51:49,839 --> 00:51:56,559
stuff but I mean familiarity is is a
good thing like if it's something that

630
00:51:54,240 --> 00:52:00,960
they can just up and run without having
to worry about cuz I always like

631
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:04,640
if something new there's always
potential of breaking it cuz you don't

632
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:11,760
know or getting injured cuz you don't
know like the extra few thousand would

633
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:14,760
almost be worth it um in my opinion.
Um

634
00:52:15,359 --> 00:52:22,000
and and their time timeout is
relatively close. You said 2 months 2 to

635
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,319
3 months.
>> Which one was that?

636
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:28,160
» The TNR
>> TR 4 to 6 weeks.

637
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:31,160
» Oh, four to 6 weeks. So it would be done
sooner.

638
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:38,240
» So and we would
>> while the still down

639
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:41,119
» would be without power for a few hours,
>> right? There's a couple of days where

640
00:52:39,599 --> 00:52:45,559
there's going to be no school in the
next couple months possibly

641
00:52:45,599 --> 00:52:48,599
» schedu

642
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:01,760
» I do have concerns
>> they used to they used to have generator

643
00:53:00,319 --> 00:53:05,119
I'm not so sure about that
>> so that would be something to make sure

644
00:53:04,079 --> 00:53:10,960
» Oh yeah we would do all
>> you're doing this beforehand letting you

645
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:15,920
know that Yeah. Right here.
>> The saddest part about that there's like

646
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:18,559
a neutral position on those.
>> Mhm.

647
00:53:16,559 --> 00:53:24,240
» And you have to have it in that neutral
position before you can kill it. If you

648
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:28,240
don't,
>> right?

649
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:33,599
It's just a piece of equipment that you
have to really have to have and work,

650
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:37,760
» right?
>> Cuz you got to like John was saying

651
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:45,119
earlier, they got these drag hands on
there. They got a neutral position. They

652
00:53:40,720 --> 00:53:49,040
got 16 steps they call boosting steps
bucking.

653
00:53:46,559 --> 00:53:53,040
» So that one right there was pegging out
and they come back.

654
00:53:50,559 --> 00:53:59,680
» Right. So
>> you said before sugar season because

655
00:53:54,720 --> 00:54:01,119
there's so much up and down 128
circuit.

656
00:54:00,319 --> 00:54:05,359
» Yeah,
>> it caused problems.

657
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:12,000
» They're all in the same spot.
>> This is all regulars are all right at

658
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:15,839
the subst. I didn't know if there were
>> multiple ones around.

659
00:54:13,599 --> 00:54:19,440
» There is a few but the substations,
>> right? But these are the ones these are

660
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:26,119
the ones that were needed which we've
been we have been talking about for a

661
00:54:22,319 --> 00:54:26,119
few months now. So

662
00:54:41,359 --> 00:54:47,040
sounds like probably what the TNR ones
are the ones to go with. Mhm.

663
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:52,079
And they're the only ones with a
warranty.

664
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:55,240
The
>> the ones

665
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,599
» No, it was three.
>> Three.

666
00:54:56,720 --> 00:55:01,359
» TR was three.
>> Three. Yeah. Three for TNR of the other

667
00:54:59,119 --> 00:55:04,319
ones.
>> Hold one. I didn't see anything. Did

668
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,000
you?
>> The what?

669
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:10,000
» Holden.
>> I didn't see that. No, I didn't see one.

670
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:15,599
» And hold or hold Holden wouldn't. I
mean, they're just we're finding like

671
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:17,599
you'd buy from somebody. They're Yeah.
So, and

672
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:22,000
» got you.
>> Yeah.

673
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:25,000
» I never saw a counter
sent.

674
00:55:27,599 --> 00:55:33,079
» There's the counter count number of
events.

675
00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:33,079
» Yep.

676
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:40,440
Cuz you got
this like a

677
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:46,559
So, you got these little pies in there.
So it wears and tears,

678
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:51,599
» right?
>> So eventually you have to clean out the

679
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:55,400
oil cuz the carbon and stuff in there.
>> Mhm.

680
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,400
» Yeah.

681
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:05,839
» And I'm going to say this like I know
what I'm talking about, but it's it's

682
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:11,520
more with engineer.
Um

683
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:15,520
and now I'm correct, but but uh 3330s
are what we're getting. Mhm.

684
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:17,520
» Those are a little bigger than we need.
So that's we have room.

685
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:22,079
» That will also help.
>> Yeah, we have room to grow,

686
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:25,440
» right?
>> Which seems to be an every year thing

687
00:56:23,599 --> 00:56:29,280
with maple sugar in. So it's probably
not a bad thing.

688
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:35,240
» Yeah.
When I first started here, I was like

689
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,240
three mag.

690
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:43,920
» Is that our highest
>> 4.8?

691
00:56:41,359 --> 00:56:47,680
kind of that time of year
>> that it has been become the highest

692
00:56:46,319 --> 00:56:50,400
» has become okay
>> for load

693
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:55,440
» for load used to be the summer but now
it's sharing season

694
00:56:53,599 --> 00:56:56,480
» used to be July or something we can see
it

695
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:01,040
» right
>> four we've only been over five a couple

696
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:07,680
times
like 51 something like that and these

697
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:13,119
these are going to help
continue with Yeah, cool. Yeah, that

698
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:16,119
shut down that circuit.
>> All right.

699
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:26,640
» Would we need some sort of
um motion for financing additional

700
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:34,319
rate?
>> I don't think so. No, I said just come

701
00:57:30,319 --> 00:57:37,920
off of the look at our budget season
with the regulator.

702
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:39,920
» Okay. with the reclusion. You see those
bathrooms?

703
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:43,160
» What are those Rwords?
>> Those Rwords.

704
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:53,920
» Yeah, that'll just fall in line with the
budgeting for next year.

705
00:57:51,280 --> 00:58:01,000
» Okay,
we're going to move a year behind as our

706
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:01,000
goal is to have a reclosure each year.

707
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:10,799
And again I well as we talk through this
you know there if the whole micro grid

708
00:58:08,559 --> 00:58:15,119
thing comes to fruition there might be
some changes in the head anyway. So

709
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:19,760
that's why I think I mean the the ten or
the older ones I think are the ones to

710
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:27,040
go with because they'll suffice for the
near future and then if something's

711
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:31,839
happening the micro grid. Um
I realize we didn't have our faces up

712
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:36,000
there.
So,

713
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:40,240
» so we need to move on buying something.
>> I would. Yeah, we got to get moving

714
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:45,040
because we got to get it get it.
>> I'm going to get it in.

715
00:58:42,319 --> 00:58:51,359
» So,
make a motion to go with a TNR

716
00:58:48,319 --> 00:58:54,000
at the price stated
>> 51,000 four

717
00:58:53,599 --> 00:58:56,160
» three
>> three of them.

718
00:58:54,559 --> 00:58:59,680
» We do with the hold ones. We're going to
buy four and not have a spare,

719
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:06,799
» right? We only need three. But we have a
threeear spare. So

720
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:09,799
» threeear spare basically.
>> Um

721
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:19,319
I'll make the motion to approve the TNR
to be ordered.

722
00:59:16,319 --> 00:59:19,319
Um

723
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:23,480
» the three regulators for TNR.

724
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:33,680
is
>> 17

725
00:59:31,599 --> 00:59:36,920
» $52,881
for 38.81.

726
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:46,640
» Yep.
>> Okay. So, I make the motion to approve

727
00:59:43,359 --> 00:59:50,920
the purchase of the TNR
uh regulators for $52,881.

728
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:56,000
» All right. Motion on the table. Is there
a second?

729
00:59:54,799 --> 00:59:59,440
» A second.
>> Been moved and seconded. Any further

730
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:03,280
discussion?
All those in favor? I

731
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:06,599
» I opposed.
So moved.

732
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:12,760
Thanks for coming, Alan.
>> Thank you.

733
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:17,520
» Stay around.
>> You're welcome. Have a good day.

734
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:22,960
» Have a good night.
>> Uh, next up, final approval of

735
01:00:20,559 --> 01:00:30,960
administrative vehicle use policy.
>> So hopefully this is the last

736
01:00:25,599 --> 01:00:37,200
copy. Um I sent a copy last meeting and
then new desk that the lawyer. So

737
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:42,240
anything in the blue was what the lawyer
added.

738
01:00:39,359 --> 01:00:45,720
Um, so if you want to read through that
agree then

739
01:00:52,160 --> 01:01:01,119
I mean he he kind of rewarded a little
bit the taxing thing that David was say

740
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:05,799
» wanted to see. Um,
then rest is kind of just more of like a

741
01:01:06,319 --> 01:01:10,640
formalized it a little bit harder.
>> Yeah.

742
01:01:30,799 --> 01:01:35,880
I'm glad the lawyer looked it over.
These are good additions.

743
01:02:10,319 --> 01:02:13,640
all of

744
01:02:16,559 --> 01:02:23,319
the one change the leaving unattended.

745
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:33,440
If you guys go out like if the vehicle
goes out and guys are leaving it like as

746
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:36,880
a warming truck, would that bother that?
Um,

747
01:02:35,119 --> 01:02:39,359
» yeah, I believe the keys in the thing,
>> right?

748
01:02:37,359 --> 01:02:43,480
» Yeah. I didn't I wasn't a fan of that,
but that's decision.

749
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:49,359
» Like, I understand the reason for that
is so somebody doesn't jump into it, but

750
01:02:48,079 --> 01:02:54,559
when these guys are working in the
winter, like I could like they're going

751
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:57,040
back. I mean, I guess it all depends on
what unattended is.

752
01:02:55,920 --> 01:03:01,119
» Yeah. I feel like if they're right there
with the vehicle, it's different than

753
01:02:58,559 --> 01:03:05,359
leaving it and going into a store or
into the office. So I guess it's kind of

754
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:10,559
as we look at it too then
>> right I think there's discretion our

755
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:13,520
discretion
>> okay

756
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:19,039
» like if the keys are left in it and it
gets taken from McDonald's or something

757
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,720
different
>> during the storm

758
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:25,680
» if the keys are in it
>> right during a storm or like if they're

759
01:03:22,799 --> 01:03:28,240
working in the park over here and or
>> right

760
01:03:26,319 --> 01:03:32,160
» yeah the car's if it's the vehicle's
parked right next to visibly see the

761
01:03:31,119 --> 01:03:36,359
expression anyway.
>> It's true.

762
01:03:33,359 --> 01:03:36,359
» Okay.

763
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,880
» Yeah.

764
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,960
Garden

765
01:03:48,799 --> 01:03:55,280
put the final stamp on that.
>> If you agree, it's your choice.

766
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:59,359
» I'm okay with it.
>> I am too. Um, I'm happy to make that

767
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:04,799
motion
to approve the administrative vehicle

768
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:06,480
use policy as updated.
>> Motion's on the table. Is there a

769
01:04:06,079 --> 01:04:10,559
second?
>> Second.

770
01:04:07,839 --> 01:04:16,839
» Any further discussion? All those in
favor? I

771
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:16,839
» I opposed. So move.

772
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:23,000
Now we can have some managers minutes.

773
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,440
Um,

774
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:38,559
so financials, we're in
summer calling it hell week. So we're

775
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:46,000
doing we pretty much are in training
every day all day. Um, Lori, Caroline,

776
01:04:42,799 --> 01:04:52,000
myself, um, and Psyche's in there a bit,
too. Um,

777
01:04:49,119 --> 01:04:56,240
so and we're trying to stumble through
some things. some of this just

778
01:04:53,520 --> 01:05:01,440
procedural ethic been doing for 100
years and it's going to look a little

779
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:05,119
different but um but the cut over is the
end of September so we'll be cutting

780
01:05:03,039 --> 01:05:10,559
over the financials we've been going to
Harris who's our current financial

781
01:05:07,119 --> 01:05:17,319
software and we've been um doing uploads
downloads whatever to

782
01:05:13,039 --> 01:05:17,319
NISC um

783
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:25,359
you want to add to any of that or where
we're at or whatever's going on

784
01:05:21,599 --> 01:05:31,200
» it's going. Um, we're trying to proof
our books before the cutoff. So, as I

785
01:05:28,559 --> 01:05:36,319
said, Lori has named each week. This
week is called week and in two weeks it

786
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:40,559
will be called dark week because we're
going to have a whole week um from

787
01:05:38,559 --> 01:05:46,240
Friday afternoon on the 11th through
that whole next week where we cannot

788
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:51,599
enter anything either into the legacy
software program or the new one. M

789
01:05:48,799 --> 01:05:56,319
» so a whole week of being totally nothing
can be posted anywhere. So it's going to

790
01:05:53,920 --> 01:06:00,160
be kind of a hard week. Um that's called
dark week and then the next I think

791
01:05:58,799 --> 01:06:06,720
there's a week after and then we're
going live week. So it's going to be

792
01:06:03,359 --> 01:06:12,480
kind of intense during those weeks. But
now into September 11th um we're trying

793
01:06:10,079 --> 01:06:18,799
really hard to get everything reconciled
and perfected before we make the move

794
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:25,440
over. Um we are going to be able to
download 20 years of history which is

795
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:31,440
good. So um but it's a lot of proofing
to make sure that everything comes over

796
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:38,559
accurately and um we are doing intensive
training. So during live week we will be

797
01:06:35,039 --> 01:06:42,559
doing um lots of proof lots of proof
entering um and then proofing to make

798
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:48,319
sure everything follows in the right GL
and and follows where it should. So,

799
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:53,119
it's all learning curve, but um so far
I'm liking the new program. Um there's a

800
01:06:50,799 --> 01:06:59,839
lot of new features that I think are
going to over time make things very um

801
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:04,319
transparent and efficient, but it's just
getting from here to there. [snorts] And

802
01:07:02,319 --> 01:07:09,520
I think like one of the the big things
is the account numbers are changing. So,

803
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:14,400
for me coming back in, I don't have them
all memorized. Some of them I do, but

804
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:18,960
for like Lori and Psyche who know, you
know, the way they've been doing for the

805
01:07:16,559 --> 01:07:22,880
past 25 years and now you're dropping
the first zero and you're dropping the

806
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:27,520
third three digits in between and you
know what I mean? It's throwing them out

807
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:32,079
of rhythm a little bit and
>> but it's just it it will come. It will

808
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:35,920
come.
>> Good.

809
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:42,480
uh vert grant. The vert grant's the one
we received work on the hydro buildings

810
01:07:39,119 --> 01:07:48,559
themselves. Um we already have the roof
done, the new rubber roof on it and we

811
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:51,599
have the window guide coming in. Um the
windows ordered. Um

812
01:07:50,079 --> 01:07:56,000
» so they were approved by
>> Yeah, they got approved by the

813
01:07:53,039 --> 01:08:04,400
historical preservation.
>> Um we've got um some more money to spend

814
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:09,200
and so we're we're going to do that. Um
cuz these came in I don't know. I mean

815
01:08:07,599 --> 01:08:12,400
this was the project Abby started with
and we thought the roof and the windows

816
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:17,359
were going to suck up the majority of it
and we're not even close. So we have

817
01:08:15,039 --> 01:08:21,359
some other projects um we just got to
get moving on. So

818
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:25,040
I'll probably have some more bid
estimates hopefully by the our next

819
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:31,839
meeting
um to approve for that work to get done.

820
01:08:28,239 --> 01:08:35,679
Um, Pearl Street sidewalk unfortunately
because of some timing of some things is

821
01:08:34,319 --> 01:08:41,520
going not going to happen till this
spring coming up 2027.

822
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:47,199
We won't get it done in 2026. Uh, we did
move the fire hydrant. Um,

823
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:54,640
that's ready to go. So unfortunately
just some delays and some

824
01:08:50,239 --> 01:09:00,319
easement stuff and then this we're I
mean it's 98% chance it won't happen but

825
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:04,239
because when you once you get the all
the information it has to go through the

826
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:08,319
state to reook at everything again and
they have up to a month and then there's

827
01:09:06,480 --> 01:09:12,560
like another 3 week delay in there or
something like that. So maybe pushing

828
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:19,359
closer to November so we're just going
to wait till the spring. Um

829
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:24,319
if I think majority of everybody can
meet during the day if you wanted or or

830
01:09:21,279 --> 01:09:27,600
in the afternoon. Um the folks that did
the dam removal at the reservoir asked

831
01:09:26,159 --> 01:09:33,759
if you wanted to do a walk through with
them and they can describe and go over.

832
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:38,159
Um so if you want to throw a date out
there, like I said, I don't know. Sounds

833
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:44,640
like the past we could do some daytime
stuff that you want to do or night. any

834
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:50,319
thoughts on that or get back to me on a
date and time

835
01:09:46,719 --> 01:09:54,640
um to do a walk through with them.
Um

836
01:09:52,480 --> 01:09:59,040
grant we talked about that. We're moving
forward with that. Um

837
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:02,480
so that's if you remember there's kind
of two main projects there. There's the

838
01:10:00,480 --> 01:10:08,480
Boston Post cut over where we're going
to bring from the bridge about a mile

839
01:10:05,679 --> 01:10:13,199
up. Bring that from the field to
roadside. And um then the other part is

840
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:17,120
the vegetation management. So we get the
vegetation management process moving. We

841
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:21,600
have a meeting tomorrow, Caroline and I,
a person from the state discuss the

842
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:26,560
great grant and go over it kind of where
we're at with everything.

843
01:10:23,679 --> 01:10:31,199
Um
so kind of that's our hopefully our next

844
01:10:28,719 --> 01:10:36,640
project. So, we're finishing up an up
that upgrade from Pleasant Street power

845
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:41,120
wise upgrade from Pleasant Street to
Water Tower all the way out through

846
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:45,040
Reservoir Road. Um once that's done,
hope hopefully get that wrapped up and

847
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:49,760
then we're going to move into um the
substation, get that done,

848
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:55,360
and then by then we'll hopefully be
ready to start the Boston Post Road

849
01:10:51,440 --> 01:10:59,520
section. That upgrade on Elm Street
Water Tower Road, they're increasing the

850
01:10:58,239 --> 01:11:02,159
voltage. Correct.
>> Correct.

851
01:11:00,480 --> 01:11:04,239
» They have to shut off the power at some
point to do that.

852
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,480
» We do.
>> Have they figured out when we want to do

853
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:12,320
that?
>> We have um engineering that part.

854
01:11:10,239 --> 01:11:17,679
» We haven't yet. Um we have some more
work to do to get to that point. And

855
01:11:14,480 --> 01:11:20,400
then we have to uh we we need swollen
cell or else it would take probably

856
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:25,600
double the time. So we they're going to
bring two trucks over and like four

857
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:28,960
guys. So
as a business owner in the area, would

858
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:32,560
you re We were thinking doing it during
the day.

859
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:35,199
» I mean, it is what it is. I'm not going
to stop you from doing it.

860
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:38,000
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. We're thinking about during the

861
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:43,040
during the day just cuz it's so much
easier time, you know, half the time.

862
01:11:40,719 --> 01:11:48,560
» You can see what you're not walking
through in the dark.

863
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:52,480
» How will people be notified? Yeah.
Oh, no. We'll go out. That's not a whole

864
01:11:50,480 --> 01:11:57,440
village thing. That's just uh basically
water tower road up.

865
01:11:54,960 --> 01:12:04,000
» So like the bank
>> tractor. No, tracky or yes tractor by

866
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:09,880
Hannerford is off a different circuit.
McDonald's the bank EMS building.

867
01:12:13,199 --> 01:12:16,860
Yeah, two of the chesties in this.
[laughter]

868
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:24,000
» Um
>> Dave said multiple hours.

869
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:29,760
» Yeah, probably at least eight or no, at
least uh probably 6 to 8. they'll be

870
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:32,960
down and then
um

871
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:38,960
I mean they'll be working probably a
good 14 hours to get it done but

872
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:43,560
5 to 7 I would say I think is what
they're for the cut over

873
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:49,199
but again another big project that or
not big but a good project that we've

874
01:12:47,679 --> 01:12:52,880
been you know been supposedly been
trying to do for the past 100 years it's

875
01:12:51,199 --> 01:12:57,280
that step down if you ever seen it just
past the lines there's like by the golf

876
01:12:54,719 --> 01:13:03,280
course there's those four funky poles of
the battery fall down that we'll be

877
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:06,080
getting that step down. So, this same
power will be going all the way up

878
01:13:04,480 --> 01:13:09,360
through
um

879
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:16,080
that corrosion plan that we had to do
for the state that is probably going to

880
01:13:12,719 --> 01:13:22,600
be done this week.
Um, and then the the uh muffin monster.

881
01:13:23,679 --> 01:13:28,400
Remember the muffin monster
conversation?

882
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:32,960
» Muffin monster.
>> The muffin monster is a unit that goes

883
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:36,719
in. It's kind of like the first line of
defense for the wastewater department.

884
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:41,600
It's like a bunch of gears
>> and takes out anything that's solid. If

885
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:48,560
anything goes down through there, even
like like thick towel or or um something

886
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:51,679
hard that got through. Uh that's in. Um
so I just got to line up with a digger

887
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:56,159
truck with a power guys to go in there
and pull that out. But

888
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:58,000
» good. That was faster than it was
supposed to.

889
01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:00,159
» Yeah.
>> They were planning on doing that when it

890
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:04,480
was cold.
>> Yeah.

891
01:14:00,719 --> 01:14:08,080
» So that's good. That's good.
>> Uh their truck is they're just waiting.

892
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:11,080
They're still waiting on their truck.
Um,

893
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:16,159
» yo, the truck's good. [snorts]
>> Um,

894
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:20,400
» happy, not happy.
>> We're happy. I'm happy with the truck,

895
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:24,960
but the they put the wrong hydro
hydraulic uh compressor in the new

896
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:27,040
truck.
>> So, they just came and swapped that back

897
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:30,719
out.
>> Okay.

898
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:35,360
» It got wicked hot. Um, and they were
wondering why. They called the guy out.

899
01:14:33,679 --> 01:14:38,560
They didn't even recognize it. And then
they ordered what they thought it they

900
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:41,760
ordered the replacement. Well, they had
a replacement until they got the wrong

901
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:47,440
size.
So they replaced the high the crew came

902
01:14:44,239 --> 01:14:51,920
out, replaced it. Um
and now everybody's everybody's happy.

903
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:58,400
» Okay.
>> And and it's been John's half of it was

904
01:14:54,960 --> 01:15:01,440
u um decal the other half to do that
tomorrow and then that that truck will

905
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:06,400
be done
>> and on the road.

906
01:15:03,679 --> 01:15:10,719
Um, that's what I got.
>> Just [snorts] circling back to the the

907
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:15,199
damn walk through, it might be easiest
if the team threw out like maybe two

908
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:18,480
dates or something or whatever and we
can see if we can go

909
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:23,199
» if there's a date. Yeah, that'd be
helpful too. Or again, you want to start

910
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:27,840
with day or or afternoon or do you want
to go?

911
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:33,520
» Lauren said she'd be open. She's she's
pretty open to what accommodating

912
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:39,520
» if too many of us go. have to warn that
it mean

913
01:15:35,199 --> 01:15:46,239
» again as long as we're not talking about
talk about the birds and the damn

914
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:49,120
» I'm not much of a walker so I'm probably
not going to go

915
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:52,640
» okay
>> I'm

916
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:55,040
» she has drone footage so we I can relay
that to you

917
01:15:53,440 --> 01:16:00,719
» perfect
>> I'm fairly flexible before 200 p.m. But

918
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:05,280
I just my schedule's kind of all over
the place, so it's hard to to know what

919
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:08,719
I'm going to have available.
>> And getting back to the walking part,

920
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:13,199
you don't really have I mean, you can
walk all the way up if you want, but you

921
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:17,840
can drive literally now right to it and
see where the dam was and see it's not

922
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:23,199
there, but and look up the river. So it
doesn't she she like I mean she's happy

923
01:16:20,719 --> 01:16:27,760
to walk the whole thing with you but if
you just want to stop there and look out

924
01:16:24,719 --> 01:16:34,560
the river I mean cuz the part that you
look at it's just

925
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:39,760
right it's been dug out and replaced and
so so going to be a drive up too.

926
01:16:38,239 --> 01:16:45,920
I think what was saying if she wants to
just pick a couple dates and then we can

927
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:49,600
try to choose out of those two
>> dates. She again she said she be pretty

928
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:52,600
dominating.
>> Okay.

929
01:16:56,159 --> 01:17:00,640
» Sounds good.
>> You said before too.

930
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:06,560
» Yeah. I can generally like flex a little
bit time before or after 5:30.

931
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:09,760
Um but like during programming
>> Yeah. during programming time. I need to

932
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:14,159
be doing what day?
>> Yeah, after 5:30

933
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:17,360
because
it's been a long day.

934
01:17:15,440 --> 01:17:20,480
» I mean, we got a couple more weeks, but
after that, it's going to start getting

935
01:17:18,719 --> 01:17:22,960
» Yeah.
Let me see. I'm just trying to like I

936
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:28,560
can give you some
>> Mondays are kind of better for me.

937
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:35,480
» Leonard,
>> he's retired. He doesn't do anything.

938
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:35,480
You said that before.

939
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:41,679
» So Leonard's a don't care. [laughter]
>> Don't care.

940
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:47,600
» Just let just let me know.
>> I'm guessing Dave, as long as he has a

941
01:17:43,679 --> 01:17:53,920
little lead time, doesn't care, per se.
>> You could probably make it where

942
01:17:49,679 --> 01:17:58,719
» I know next week is really busy for me
on and off the week after and then a

943
01:17:55,760 --> 01:18:04,960
little bit, a little less scheduled as
>> a day slower for you.

944
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:09,840
I'm going uh late September. I have I'll
be gone for a few days, but other than

945
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:13,120
that, I'm pretty open about the 14th.
>> September.

946
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:17,239
» Yeah.
>> No, August.

947
01:18:14,239 --> 01:18:17,239
» Sure.

948
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:22,320
» Sometime between 10 and 2, I should be
available.

949
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:27,760
» So, set them about like 11:00.
>> Sure.

950
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:32,159
» You let us know.
>> All right.

951
01:18:30,239 --> 01:18:37,199
What is it? 14. Let me show my
>> Monday.

952
01:18:34,159 --> 01:18:38,640
» That's not one of your uh hell week.
Dark week.

953
01:18:38,159 --> 01:18:42,400
» Oh, right.
>> No, dark week's the 30th.

954
01:18:41,440 --> 01:18:47,360
» It's not
>> the 14th, is that what is third week?

955
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:49,199
» No. Um the cut off for
>> that is dark week.

956
01:18:48,239 --> 01:18:52,800
» September 11th.
>> So, perfect. You don't have anything to

957
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:56,159
do here. [laughter]
>> So, during that week, we need something

958
01:18:54,480 --> 01:18:59,634
to do cuz we're going to be going crazy.
We have a walk through. But it' be a

959
01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:01,654
good day for me to be out of the office.
[clears throat and laughter]

960
01:19:01,679 --> 01:19:10,000
» Let's play it that day.
>> Let it be a good day.

961
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:11,840
» That is dark night.
>> It's not like you're going to be gone

962
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:15,679
all day.
>> Yeah.

963
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:21,080
All right. So, she was the 14th at 11:00
a.m. I'll tell uh ask Lauren. Okay.

964
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:31,199
Um, and then you can see too what she's
working on. Did I mention this? So,

965
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:35,280
she's working on a grant to help us with
the crossing,

966
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:42,320
um, the river crossing. And we may
adjust it um,

967
01:19:38,719 --> 01:19:46,159
and cross up a little bit further and
take that road up the way the road is

968
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:48,800
now. If you never been up there, the
road kind of crosses,

969
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:52,960
» it goes into a little bit of the
easement of the neighbors. It loops up

970
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:56,159
like this to get to well two. The idea
is to just follow the power line. So

971
01:19:54,719 --> 01:20:00,719
then we don't have to worry about
vegetation management or the power line

972
01:19:57,679 --> 01:20:03,679
anymore cuz we'll keep it clear and if
we're going to put a cover in anyway, we

973
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:06,080
might move the C over a little bit and
then just have the road follow right up

974
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:09,520
to.
>> That's the key.

975
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:13,440
» And then we wouldn't be on the easement
just in case anything would happen. Not

976
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:18,760
that I would per se, but we would have
to worry about that be all on the

977
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:18,760
village property. Good.

978
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:28,159
» I did more talking this time than I have
since I've been here.

979
01:20:25,199 --> 01:20:32,080
» So, that project went good with the fire
hydrant up here.

980
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:34,960
» Yep.
>> Okay.

981
01:20:32,480 --> 01:20:39,280
» Yep. So, that got moved and all that was
rolled. What was going on on Main Street

982
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:46,320
just
>> Oh, so we had a So, um, FCIDC is finally

983
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:50,560
paving their parking lot and then that
strip, you remember Gary's dying words

984
01:20:49,199 --> 01:20:54,719
where make sure that strip gets paid
where they dug their line in the big dig

985
01:20:53,440 --> 01:20:58,000
on Main Street.
>> Um, so that's all going to be done here

986
01:20:56,640 --> 01:21:04,000
in the next painting should be done the
next week or two. They had to wait

987
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:05,120
» 9th 8th like Tuesday Wednesday in
September

988
01:21:04,480 --> 01:21:10,719
» they actually
>> 7th 8th 8th 9th something like that.

989
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:15,679
» Yeah. They had to wait for that gravel
the compact for 3 weeks.

990
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:18,480
» So [snorts] we had to fix that manhole
first.

991
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:21,600
» So the guys did that before school
started.

992
01:21:20,159 --> 01:21:25,320
» So that's all done. So when they come to
pave it's all done.

993
01:21:26,159 --> 01:21:34,159
Good.
>> I heard uh Swampton the baffle over the

994
01:21:32,480 --> 01:21:37,199
dame
had cracked or busted or whatever and

995
01:21:36,480 --> 01:21:40,000
it's gone.
>> Yeah.

996
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:44,800
» And now they're not they're buying most
of the electricity. Is that affecting us

997
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:49,159
in any way?
>> They're No, not us. Uh

998
01:21:49,199 --> 01:21:53,920
» not really.
>> No, not really. The only thing that is

999
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:58,719
interesting is the river had the river
has changed a bit.

1000
01:21:56,159 --> 01:22:05,120
So if we were running
um it might have helped us a little bit

1001
01:22:02,159 --> 01:22:09,040
cuz they're they're not they're not
backing up and then draining the river

1002
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:15,199
like they normally would be with that
with that ladder.

1003
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:18,719
But technically, no. Okay. And and then
to Heather's point, just we don't forget

1004
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:23,280
that Heather had brought up emailed
asking about the whole new tariff thing

1005
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:30,639
that's going on and probably saw on the
news that there was shut down can't shut

1006
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:34,480
off power to some states or whatever
that in theory shouldn't affect us. I

1007
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:41,840
mean, maybe you get into winter a little
bit cuz but everything's volatile in the

1008
01:22:38,639 --> 01:22:46,480
power world anyway. But again, we don't
buy power directly from Canada. It's

1009
01:22:44,719 --> 01:22:51,440
more on it would be a more an emergency
purpose. We have a connection through

1010
01:22:48,719 --> 01:22:56,080
that high gate big substation.
Um that's traditionally what we've been

1011
01:22:54,000 --> 01:23:02,719
using power from them for is if we ever
needed it for anything south of us or

1012
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:09,280
west of us went down we could get power
from that that substation specifically

1013
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:12,560
us too the village not others may not
but we could could have fed from BEC

1014
01:23:11,440 --> 01:23:15,040
through that.
>> Yeah I couldn't remember. I thought

1015
01:23:13,679 --> 01:23:18,880
there were like some sort of connect
like way we were connected with Canadian

1016
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:20,560
powers. I didn't remember the full
details.

1017
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:25,360
» Yeah.
>> Might not pan out to be anything but

1018
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:31,040
just something to be aware of since it's
something being talked about. I mean it

1019
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:34,960
is interesting because
I mean I don't know what the future

1020
01:23:32,239 --> 01:23:40,880
looks like. Um but you [snorts] know
through VPSA they Velco and they are

1021
01:23:38,480 --> 01:23:45,840
looking at a huge substation overhaul
like like a million dollars or some

1022
01:23:42,480 --> 01:23:50,560
crazy number of that substation and
maybe moving it. So I don't know if

1023
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:55,080
something happens there now or I think
it all going forward but

1024
01:23:55,520 --> 01:24:01,520
might make you nervous to spend a
million dollars not knowing they may cut

1025
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:08,120
us off
but that's you know and that's all way

1026
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:08,120
out world stuff.

1027
01:24:08,159 --> 01:24:16,560
So,
>> um, can I make an amendment to the, um,

1028
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:19,600
agenda because I just realized we have
executive sessions before other

1029
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:23,120
business. We're kind of getting into
other business anyway.

1030
01:24:21,440 --> 01:24:26,840
» Switch those two items.
>> Sure.

1031
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,840
» Awesome.

1032
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:35,000
» All right. Who's got some other
business?

1033
01:24:31,679 --> 01:24:35,000
I hear

1034
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:43,920
um
Brian at the wastewater department asked

1035
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:48,400
he said he talked to Ken and we have
extra asphalt millings from when they

1036
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:52,719
redid Sis Street. He would like to
purchase some of them.

1037
01:24:51,440 --> 01:24:56,800
I don't have a problem with it. He
doesn't need much. We're still going to

1038
01:24:54,960 --> 01:25:01,760
have plenty left over for whatever
projects Kenny has. I guess

1039
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:05,880
we just have to decide on a price and if
we're interested in selling or

1040
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:05,880
something.

1041
01:25:06,239 --> 01:25:09,760
» I mean, I don't care. I don't know what
the going rate for that stuff is. I

1042
01:25:09,440 --> 01:25:17,600
know.
>> I did a quick Google search and about 12

1043
01:25:12,239 --> 01:25:22,080
bucks a yard is a fair price.
>> Okay. How many yards?

1044
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:25,040
» I think he said he wanted a couple ton
truckloads. So, not much.

1045
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:31,560
» Couple
>> one ton truckloads.

1046
01:25:26,239 --> 01:25:31,560
» Oh. So 6 8 y.

1047
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:40,800
» What's our policy?
>> Right. I don't know. That's the other

1048
01:25:38,159 --> 01:25:43,760
thing.
>> Do we have anything against selling that

1049
01:25:42,639 --> 01:25:50,320
stuff?
>> I I don't think so. I don't I mean I

1050
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:53,840
don't know if any policy not to do that.
We always just like when it comes to

1051
01:25:52,239 --> 01:25:58,239
firewood and stuff, we always just stay
away from it cuz you never know.

1052
01:25:56,719 --> 01:26:04,400
wants it or who doesn't want it. So, we
just never really touched it, per se.

1053
01:26:00,639 --> 01:26:06,800
But if if he's buying it,
I don't I don't see an issue with I

1054
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:09,679
guess.
>> Very different than giving it away.

1055
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:11,679
» Yeah. I mean, we've done it with cell
phones.

1056
01:26:10,480 --> 01:26:15,199
» Yeah.
>> Simple cell phones that were used that

1057
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:19,040
we couldn't use anymore. We sold those
for 20 bucks to people or whatever.

1058
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:22,639
» Yeah. It's not like we haven't done that
type of thing before

1059
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:25,440
» and that wasn't part of a policy. We
just picked a price and

1060
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:27,520
» Yeah. Yeah, we used to do a fair market
value.

1061
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:32,719
» Yeah.
>> Okay.

1062
01:26:29,679 --> 01:26:36,480
And where would that go? Back to the
highway.

1063
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:40,159
» Probably their
fun.

1064
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:42,239
» Yeah. Unload that middle dumpster. They
make a tool fund.

1065
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:45,239
» Okay. So, go there.
>> Okay.

1066
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:53,679
» With me. If it's all right with anybody
else.

1067
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:57,120
» Yeah. I don't know if we need to move on
that, but

1068
01:26:55,920 --> 01:27:00,400
» uh
>> probably just so that it's written in

1069
01:26:59,920 --> 01:27:04,639
» right
>> down what we're selling for.

1070
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:10,880
» Yeah. Okay.
>> $12 a yard, 68 yards.

1071
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:13,520
» We need to say $12 a yard. I mean,
>> well, we want to make sure there's

1072
01:27:12,239 --> 01:27:16,800
enough for
>> projects that are needed.

1073
01:27:15,199 --> 01:27:17,760
» We should say like 10 yards or
something.

1074
01:27:17,440 --> 01:27:19,920
» Sure.
>> And if it goes over that, we can revisit

1075
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:23,360
it.
>> Sure.

1076
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:30,400
No more than 10. Okay.
>> So, take a motion to sell up to 10 yards

1077
01:27:26,159 --> 01:27:36,159
millings to Brian for $12 a yard.
>> All right. We'll make that motion.

1078
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:40,960
» Move. Is there a second?
I'll second that. All right. Moved and

1079
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:48,920
seconded. Any further discussion?
All those in favor? I post. So move.

1080
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:48,920
That's all I have.

1081
01:28:14,239 --> 01:28:19,360
I don't know if I have anything. I just
I kind of put down a note to like go

1082
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:23,199
along with the
like a birthday cake just the king of

1083
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:28,560
carts festival if there was something
local produce or something that we could

1084
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:34,560
also like hand out to people like apples
or something alternate to a cake and

1085
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:38,800
everybody wants cake or something and we
can support local farmer

1086
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:41,600
» or something that orchard north whatever
it's called.

1087
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:45,920
» Yeah. Yeah.
connect with a local farmer and find a

1088
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:50,480
something that like doesn't have to be
packaged or anything and we can just

1089
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:54,320
have that available.
>> Okay, I'll double check with them. I

1090
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:58,239
just I know what I asked in the past is
when we gave they gave us away a little

1091
01:28:56,320 --> 01:29:00,800
bit food away goodies or
>> right you don't want to give away stuff

1092
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:05,120
that people are there trying to sell.
>> Trying to sell down here

1093
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:08,960
down here so it was a little bit
different. I forgot I had to have

1094
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:14,880
something in the park.
>> May want to be more conscious of that. I

1095
01:29:11,199 --> 01:29:20,360
mean, just oranges do the cake.
>> I'm sure we've got local orange trees

1096
01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:20,360
somewhere, right?

1097
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:26,120
» Actually, I was just texting K.

1098
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:33,880
» I have nothing else.

1099
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:39,840
If there's no other business, I'll take
a motion to enter into executive session

1100
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:42,800
for the purpose of discussing
negotiations in which premature public

1101
01:29:41,440 --> 01:29:47,360
knowledge would compromise the position
of municipality.

1102
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:51,360
» We'll make that motion. All right.
>> Seconded. Any further discussion?

1103
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:55,719
» All those in favor? I
>> opposed. So moved.
