[0:20] September 21st, 1st, and we're about 2026.
[0:31] Is there any changes to the agenda?
[0:39] I think we need to add quite very close to now. Probably should be an executive.
[0:47] Okay. After the other one, I'm going to ask that.
[0:53] For, uh, add right field grant for walking time.
[1:11] I'll make a motion to accept those new additions for the agenda, direct field and executive for February.
[1:42] Sure, second.
[1:44] I'll second.
[1:50] I need further discussion.
[1:53] Seeing none of those in favor of the add and direct field grant for the walking path.
[1:59] And my break.
[2:02] Employee situation and executive session, those in favor say aye, any post, aye.
[2:15] Good.
[2:17] Public comment.
[2:19] One here for public comment.
[2:39] Right off.
[2:39] Seeing none, we'll move on to the ambulance.
[2:43] All right.
[2:45] Here.
[3:08] Here.
[3:08] Just a little bit.
[3:09] Just a little bit.
[3:09] Short and straight.
[3:11] Here.
[3:20] Good.
[3:20] Here, here.
[3:21] All right, I'm sorry here.
[3:25] Two days away.
[3:26] I feel it right now.
[3:28] All right now.
[3:31] So just a few things.
[3:32] You guys can go visit Scott for a little next week.
[3:35] I'm going to a bit more for you to go start talking about your.
[3:39] Um, for tonight, just a few updates for the service.
[3:47] We have a couple town of powertracks coming up that we're going to discuss it in the next
[3:51] meeting.
[3:52] We're going to look at the current budget that we're at and how they're going to serve.
[3:56] So you just do a link and we're going to look into what we want to do from the contracts
[4:00] that we have coming up next year for proposal.
[4:05] The trucks, the 25, just had a bunch of work done to it, all of which was under warranty.
[4:10] I got to send it back because it's not got a grinding noise in front of me and it's got a leaking tire.
[4:17] So that truck's been my problem lately.
[4:20] All of the trucks are good though.
[4:22] Our state license renewal came back.
[4:24] The state approved us.
[4:25] So we have our license renewal good for another two years.
[4:28] The state is going to be doing their pop-in visits again.
[4:30] So they should be showing up at some point here.
[4:33] I check for two remaining trucks.
[4:36] and
[4:44] call volume-wise, call volume-wise has been quite busy of late statistically
[4:48] we're on track for one of our busiest years, 2024, different speaking of this
[4:53] year, we're actually transporting more cases this year than we have in previous
[4:56] years.
[4:57] So numbers-wise we're on track for about 13-1400 calls, the difference this year
[5:02] is we're transporting our transport ratios much higher this year, so we're
[5:05] I'm using a 70 to 75% transport rate.
[5:08] The biggest year is between 55 to 60 percent.
[5:12] So, transports have been definitely up mutual aid as well,
[5:16] we're seeing an increase in mutual aid calls right now.
[5:20] So, it's been good to have two crews.
[5:22] All of our medics are completely through their orientation
[5:24] and released, which is good.
[5:26] So, we're up to 11 paramedics at the service.
[5:30] Make shout out to the crews.
[5:32] That's a big thing for Instagram service to have 11 paramedics
[5:35] on staff. So now we have a paramedic on every truck, 24-7. So anytime a call goes out,
[5:43] as we're scheduled, there's a paramedic on the truck.
[5:46] So that's all right. Very happy with the crews.
[5:49] Any sort?
[5:51] They put the time into it. We've got one more medic that's finishing orientation.
[5:54] He's now full timer. He is completing. He's just last week of orientation.
[6:00] And it's not something we'll be all for orientation.
[6:04] Anybody else?
[6:06] Timing works more because the schools back up and running.
[6:08] We've got the tech program running.
[6:10] Aaron and Billy went and visited with the tech students.
[6:13] They did a presentation at the end.
[6:15] They were very happy.
[6:17] Students see very interested in the ambulance.
[6:20] Most of which want to do a ride along to us.
[6:23] So we're looking to schedule the students to come and do a ride along to us.
[6:26] From all of the MS, you know, just that's like, feel needed in the world, so we'll get a good turnout with that.
[6:36] Other than that, I just have a couple of personal things with you guys.
[6:41] One thing to go over here,
[6:45] that's it for me.
[6:48] So we'll move into a negative.
[6:51] Yes.
[6:56] How's our move?
[7:05] It's been moved in second-end
[7:11] to go into executive session for personal issues and for the discussion.
[7:19] I'll see you then, I'll take care of you.
[7:31] We're going to have a lot of stun, mon, we're mon agency of transportation.
[7:42] Hi, Laura.
[7:46] Good, how are you?
[7:48] Good.
[7:51] The four of you are ready for me to start?
[7:53] We are.
[7:59] And a lot of people share my screen.
[8:15] It says host disabled participants screen sharing.
[8:18] You may want to close that door.
[8:21] Be quiet.
[8:25] This isn't my normal being.
[8:28] Thank you.
[8:38] Easy transition.
[8:43] That's a job.
[8:44] Excuse me.
[8:44] You got it?
[8:55] Try that, Laura.
[8:58] Yes.
[8:59] That works.
[8:59] Thank you.
[9:08] That's good for me.
[9:15] That's good for me.
[9:16] That's good for me.
[9:16] I'm happy.
[9:17] I'm happy.
[9:18] I'm happy.
[9:18] I'm happy.
[9:19] I'm happy.
[9:20] I'm happy.
[9:23] So this is just, I wanted to have conversation about Rich 45 over the Tyler Branch.
[9:29] Typically what we do in our scoping process is we come to a consensus on a recommendation
[9:34] from an agency level and our management team as a agency level and then we come to the town
[9:41] and present alternatives and ultimately what we recommend to do in the bridge.
[9:46] So we met on this structure internally and we really felt that we need to have a conversation with the town before we feel comfortable meeting our recommendation.
[9:58] Kind of everybody was on a place on what we thought we should do with this structure.
[10:05] So I'm going to go to Stone of the Transcoping Project Manager.
[10:09] I think the Scoping process, this project would like me to be with Rob Beone.
[10:14] I think you guys have worked with him on other projects,
[10:18] but for the Scoping Project, I'll be the project manager.
[10:22] So I'm going to talk about the project constraints,
[10:25] talk to you about the alternatives that we're considering as part of the project.
[10:29] And then really just the cost implications of each of those alternatives, so the town who kind of make it informed, I'm not asking you to make a decision tonight, I'm just looking to get a little bit of more information about how the bridge feels, how the town feels about this bridge and how this project moves forward, and then provide an opportunity to ask questions.
[10:55] So, I think everybody knows where this bridge is, but it is located on Sand Hill Road.
[11:02] I'll get a little pointer out.
[11:04] It's located on Sand Hill Road, just off of four shoe circle.
[11:09] Just east.
[11:10] This is the Brookside Campground here.
[11:14] So this is the bridge we're talking about.
[11:18] It's a rural, local road, class 3.
[11:22] And this is a very small kind of delicate, more important point trust that was constructed in
[11:29] 1911 and it was reconstructed in 1994, or the death was replaced in 1994 as well as
[11:38] one of the above-ends.
[11:40] It is owned by the Tower of Inusburg, and so there is a towering share in this project for anybody
[11:46] the select board that isn't aware of Act 153 of the 12, 2012 legislative session prior to this
[11:54] act. The share of all time highway bridge projects was 10%. Her Act 153, the local shares
[12:03] reduced by 50% for rehabilitating instead of replacing. And then the local share is further reduced
[12:10] by 50% for closing the road to traffic during construction.
[12:16] Also, that's going to legislature this season.
[12:21] The town share will be 0% on any disinvestment project moving forward.
[12:27] We're hoping that goes through legislation this season,
[12:32] so we don't charge towns for disinvesting instructions.
[12:39] So the existing bridge, the trust is multiple areas of section loss, the bridge is low rated to
[12:45] five ton capacity right now.
[12:49] The timber deck is showing signs of raw.
[12:51] The abutments are starting to crack and showing signs of efflorescence as well as they're both
[12:57] undermining quite a bit to the scour.
[13:00] The bridge is narrow, it doesn't meet thankful with and so that's that hydraulic standard
[13:06] that we want to see, and the horizontal and vertical curves are both sub-standard.
[13:13] So we did send a questionnaire to the town. It was quite a while ago, but these were some of the
[13:20] needs and concerns that we heard back from the town. Again, the bridge is in roadway with this two
[13:27] arrow. There's very little bicycle and pedestrian traffic, but the lane and shoulder widths definitely
[13:34] are at foot for share use, the curves of the branch and the bridge approaches make it difficult
[13:40] for vehicles to use the bridge. It's only rated to five tons and getting the bridge up to
[13:47] standard where the loud emergency responders can use the bridge hand.
[13:54] And this one at the bottom
[13:56] here, the town of Unisfer, because of fire property on the east end of the bridge to improve the
[14:01] alignment of standstill road. This land was donated to the town for the express reason of relocating
[14:08] standstill road to a better alignment. And so that is one of the alternatives that we are
[14:14] considering in our scoping process, and we can talk a little bit more about.
[14:19] The deck is rated as six. It's in satisfactory condition. The super structure, so that's all the
[14:25] steel underneath the bridge and on the sides of the bridge. Those trusses on either side. That's rated
[14:31] as in poor condition. It's rated as four. And the substructures are rated as six. There's
[14:37] factory but they are they are scoured critical.
[14:42] What's the scale? What's the scale?
[14:47] You got four is the sexes help? You got one to ten? Yeah so one to ten is the scale but
[14:55] Really, it's one to nine typically, um, uh, and...
[15:00] A nine is a brand new constructed bridge. A zero is failed. A zero is failed. It means to be closed. Eight is very good. Seven is good. Six is satisfactory. Five is fair. Four is poor. Once it goes down to a three then it's considered to be in serious condition.
[15:21] It's sorted in or out.
[15:24] That's okay.
[15:25] I like it when people interrupt so I'm not just talking at you.
[15:31] So this is about the number two.
[15:33] You can see that scour underneath is a scour critical structure.
[15:39] Looking at strain, we do have three quadrants in the project area that are sensitive for pre-contact
[15:45] needs of American archaeological deposits. The bridge itself is an historic resource and there
[15:52] are three distinct areas of wetlands, likely class two wetlands, and there's not
[15:59] need in scattered locations.
[16:03] So here's the existing conditions. This is a bird eye view and if you're
[16:07] applying over the bridge looking down.
[16:11] North is almost, almost vertical up on the page.
[16:17] So this is sandstone down, and the bridge is located right here.
[16:21] Really just a point out in this.
[16:23] This is a very difficult to read in color code this one.
[16:27] But this whole area here is considered archaeological.
[16:32] This area here is considered archaeological
[16:36] and these areas. Additionally, we have wetlands over here and we're also doing wetlands on this
[16:45] page. We have wetlands, so pretty much the entire project area is archaeologically sensitive
[16:51] and there are wetlands.
[16:56] At which daily traffic, the bridge sees 57 vehicles per day, design
[17:02] And I apologize for that, so that's in your key tower of traffic.
[17:05] You would expect to see 22 vehicles in that hour and a percent of trucks of 8.4.
[17:14] So, here we are, to be all sure that it is that we're considering
[17:20] alternative one, no action.
[17:23] It's really not recommended, it's rated in poor condition, it's going to be closed if it continues
[17:29] to deteriorate from here and be a safety hazard, so really, we don't want to be
[17:36] that are no action.
[17:39] So first, first we'll turn it into a strategic disinvestment.
[17:44] Strategic disinvestment is where we go in, and we remove the existing bridge, remove the
[17:49] abutments, and we open up the channel, and leave it as it is, we do not construct a new structure there.
[17:58] Next is a trust rehabilitation.
[18:00] Trust rehabilitation, we would go in, we would beef up some members, we would replace some
[18:07] members of that trust, replace the deck, paint the steel, we can do some scour countermeasures
[18:16] in front of those abutments, but really that substandard geometry, substandard width, would remain
[18:23] the substandard turning movements onto the fridge, those would remain.
[18:29] Next, we looked at a full-bridge replacement and for the purpose of this conversation,
[18:36] I don't need to differentiate between whether it's a new trust or a new conventional
[18:42] bridge, but just full-bridge replacement, so that's removing all of the parts, the substructures
[18:51] or the abundance, the steel, the steel truss and the DACA look at all and replace it with
[19:00] good-be a new longer bridge that would meet hydraulics and the widened bridge. So we would
[19:08] construct a two-lane bridge that has adequate shoulders.
[19:15] Then we have this last option here,
[19:17] which is a full virtual placement or actually I suppose it could be a trust rehabilitation
[19:24] as well, but with the realignment of town highway 42 at it all thicker.
[19:33] So the rehabilitation layout, again cleaning, repairing, deteriorating, truss members, we would
[19:40] do some scound mitigation.
[19:42] You can see in this picture the abutments or those foundations are right up against the
[19:48] water's edge, these lines right here, that's the watered edge, the water's edge, the brown
[19:54] in this picture, that's sand still row, that's the roadway. So we have got this that
[20:00] are right up against, right up against the channel, does not meet the hydraulic criteria.
[20:09] So we looked at in on-linements, full-bridge replacement, and so some of the benefits to this
[20:17] is that the turning movement onto the bridge
[20:20] from this east side, it has to be with white in this structure
[20:24] quite a bit.
[20:26] You would have better turning movements,
[20:28] just from widening the road.
[20:32] So you can see this light brown.
[20:34] That's the existing roadway.
[20:37] And then this dark brown is the additional roadway
[20:40] with that you would get.
[20:43] Again, so these foundations are right
[20:46] against the water's edge, we would set them farther back to meet the minimum hydraulic standard.
[20:54] The next alternative that we considered was an off-limit layout.
[20:58] This would have impacts to both the right property and the leech farms property.
[21:05] We would need to acquire permanent rights from them, but this would straighten out this
[21:11] sort of as per fear.
[21:13] So you would be left with just this warm curve.
[21:17] And we would lengthen it, we would get those, we'd get those
[21:21] abutments off of the water's edge.
[21:24] This is, it's an expensive bridge because it ends up being very long,
[21:29] just because it's skewed to the river.
[21:33] But definitely a good viable alternative as well.
[21:38] And this is one of the pieces I wanted for input.
[21:41] So the town, no realignment of sandstone road.
[21:46] And I was just curious, is this,
[21:52] what the town was thinking. Yeah, yes. I think that's pretty much what was
[21:58] needed to the town property, a strip of property, up through that, that same direction
[22:03] that you got that, the line. Okay, perfect. So we made, we made some good assumptions here.
[22:11] Yeah. Um, so exactly, that is that made out like that, but very cool.
[22:19] Yeah, so with this one
[22:20] Because you do start almost at that same location where the bridge is now, you could
[22:25] re-alignments of the roadway with either a rehabilitation for...
[22:30] Work placement, structure, wider, and need to be in full wind. It doesn't have the scour concerns.
[22:40] So, cuts.
[22:43] Mainly why I wanted to come talk to the town, because it seems like the town wants the real island to town, highway 42, from the input that we got from the community questionnaire.
[22:56] But it is also an expensive alternative for a branch that sees less than 60 vehicles per day when we started talking about this internally.
[23:11] We had some folks from our management team that said, well, hey, why shouldn't we be disinvesting this?
[23:17] This is a whole lot of money to spend on the branch that doesn't see a lot of traffic.
[23:21] But also, it's your bridge, and you guys get to make the final decision which you want to do here,
[23:31] excuse me.
[23:33] So just to go through the costs, these are kind of rough costs.
[23:38] Trust me, the validation, the talent share would be approximately 60,000.
[23:45] And just investment, I don't know how the talent feels about this investment, but that's something I'd love to hear your thoughts on,
[23:51] But this investment, zero, new bridge on alignment is about 220,000, new bridge off alignment is about 350,000, and then once we get to the realignments of town highway 42, our traditional folks and FHWA because it's not required for the projects that estimate and cost of the new roadway.
[24:19] So we would construct the approaches, you know, 115 off at the ends of the bridge, but
[24:25] beyond that, it would be a non-participating cost.
[24:32] So estimated for the new roadway, 370,000 nine clues, key E money, it includes, there's
[24:41] likely going to have to be archaeological digs just based on what we've heard from our
[24:47] archeology department, clearing and grubbing all of that.
[24:56] So I think this is my last slide. It is my last slide.
[25:01] So just trying to get a feel of how the town feels about spending money on this structure,
[25:11] Whether you're interested in a new bridge, you think maybe you want to consider strategic
[25:19] investment?
[25:22] Well, can you explain?
[25:23] No, of course.
[25:24] You might already explain it, the strategic investment was what it's all to take you to.
[25:30] Just doing away with it.
[25:31] I'm worried at all.
[25:34] How does that cost that much to just to tear that bridge out?
[25:39] It's just, we have to get a crew to them.
[25:43] to the site and so it's just those mobilization costs.
[25:47] It's the removing the deck.
[25:49] There's going to be some, when you're dealing with the consequences.
[25:55] Usually, there's some lead paint medication,
[25:59] because we don't want to get any lead paint in the room or below.
[26:02] It's removing all the supplements.
[26:05] It's putting up any fences that need to be put up,
[26:07] so we don't have just the whole big hole in the ground
[26:09] that somebody could drive into.
[26:12] Yeah.
[26:14] But again, downstairs would be nothing.
[26:21] It makes me think of the box out of it.
[26:26] So the other thing I was curious about,
[26:30] how did you count the vehicles this time?
[26:33] Do you have any time that you could go through there?
[26:35] Let's take home from the campground, turn it on, go back.
[26:39] Probably don't you summertime, right?
[26:41] The wintertime, that becomes so chill.
[26:43] But I'm wondering, are you counting stonebeals, four burglars, I mean,
[26:47] I'm not sure.
[26:48] Was we camera when they put out their counters?
[26:51] Were they counting that actually when across the bridge or did they jump into campground?
[27:00] It would have been just before after the bridge and typically they count in June or July.
[27:07] That's also when out here, it's the design volume, so maybe the actual volume might
[27:13] 10 or 15 less than that. It is the 20-year-out projected volume.
[27:26] So the thing is, if we go through,
[27:28] what do we do? We did a tanner, there's a tanner originally, like a $ many dollars to
[27:37] a $1.2.
[27:40] That's what it meant exactly. It's a good investment, this is not. That's, yeah. Wow.
[27:46] So with this being a class 3 joy, and we bring in that bridge up to say we bring it up to compliance, I mean, theoretically speaking, that bridge in itself would be a class 1.
[28:05] Bridges aren't class.
[28:08] It's kind of bad.
[28:10] The road will still be a classroom.
[28:12] The road will still be a classroom,
[28:13] but that bridge is going to be that much wider for two vehicles to pass.
[28:17] Guard rails, bells and whistles.
[28:26] So it'd be probably inside a garden building.
[28:29] Exactly.
[28:29] I don't know.
[28:30] What did you guys plan?
[28:32] Was it like 24 feet?
[28:34] 26 feet inside a garden building?
[28:36] Do you actually have to actually go on that part?
[28:40] Yeah, I believe 24 feet.
[28:42] So, he likes to, he likes to burn Joe Verteigler.
[28:46] That's that one, the tater.
[28:48] And I think it's 26.
[28:50] I think the one up on the expected show may be is 24.
[28:53] Maybe 26.
[28:55] So, yeah, it's 24 now.
[28:57] So, Laura, on the trust rehab, we have a totally bad, we have three hobb.
[29:04] How many years would die for long this bridge?
[29:09] Or carry it through, let me hear you.
[29:11] So we estimate 40 years based on the remaining life of those substructures
[29:20] and we would expect about 40 years and then something would have to happen.
[29:29] So you basically would be taking the bridges there and just fixing it up, right?
[29:38] Sandblasting and painting those steel lists there and replacing steel structures underneath probably.
[29:46] Yeah, any members that need to be replaced, likely a whole new floor system, typically when we do a trust we have, we just end up replacing all the strength of our needs.
[29:56] And then what historic really cares about are those trust in it on you.
[30:01] And so we would try to retain as much steel as possible from those trusses, but again, if we needed to replace members for capacity reasons or condition reasons, we could replace member by member.
[30:18] Well, it still may have wooden deck.
[30:25] Back to be.
[30:27] We've lots of things light.
[30:30] There are exothermic decks and lightweight concrete solutions.
[30:37] They really need to take a look at it in design,
[30:40] but it wouldn't necessarily have to be wood.
[30:43] As if it stayed wood, it would be a maximum of about 16,000 for wood deck.
[30:49] It's correct.
[30:51] And it's still going to be no matter what you do, it's still going to be 14 feet wide, right?
[30:58] Or whatever it is now.
[31:00] Yep.
[31:03] So curious, I'm not afraid of doing that.
[31:06] But if you put the new bridge and did new realignment, this existing bridge and historical,
[31:13] so that would stay.
[31:16] I didn't want it to stay.
[31:18] So it's one of the other points.
[31:20] If we just left, if we just left it there and did nothing, it would fall into the river eventually and it would just be another.
[31:30] It would just be something to have to maintain. So we would want to remove that if we didn't have a line in structure.
[31:36] Well,
[31:41] I just, I'm just seeing how important the historic significance was and it doesn't seem
[31:47] like it's on the board.
[31:49] Shortest, this, that's a straight, a foul, for short.
[31:53] Yeah, the new bridge, off alignment, I'm not sure what that even work with the slopes on
[31:59] east side or north side of the brook seems like it's that bend is in there to counteract some
[32:07] And then it's that slope.
[32:10] I'm sure you guys have studied.
[32:13] But it's impossible.
[32:15] We can build up a so be tricky.
[32:18] It's expensive.
[32:19] It's a $7 million project.
[32:24] But it's impossible.
[32:35] I'm not speaking for the whole board.
[32:38] But trust read out would be the option.
[32:43] I would be looking at it.
[32:45] or disinfast, I mean, for the traffic that goes through there is for the taxpayer's money
[32:55] and it's not, you're not going to get a bang for a book, return it at all.
[33:02] That's just one of it.
[33:04] How much do you guys use it?
[33:06] I don't even use it.
[33:07] Why never use it?
[33:09] You show me.
[33:11] So it's more of a trail.
[33:15] Yeah,
[33:20] so the last option you're talking about, that they would bust a new double-laying bridge
[33:27] and the same place as the one is now, and they would also pay to do the road to re-align the road to meet the match of the bridge.
[33:37] That's the last.
[33:42] You do?
[33:43] Did you say 150 feet of the road, Laura?
[33:46] Is that what it was?
[33:48] Usually our virtual approaches go about 150 feet to either direction and then anything after that would be on the town.
[34:00] Yeah, and that would be a part of the financial maintenance agreement.
[34:04] We would just have to determine where that cut-off is.
[34:09] Where the non-versusitating piece versus the participant pieces and we would still design it and fill it as part of this project.
[34:17] it would just be enough participating costs,
[34:20] so 100% for the town.
[34:25] It could be cheaper for the town to go
[34:27] and do the real items on their own.
[34:30] Maybe get a grant to do it.
[34:33] Which is when you start taking into account
[34:35] at HWA money, there's a lot more permitting implications
[34:39] that get involved.
[34:42] Like I said, archaeological digs,
[34:44] I don't know if the town just went and did that.
[34:47] they would still be held to those same standards, I'm not sure.
[34:54] Just out of curiosity, where's the closest resonance on either side of this?
[34:59] I mean, if you guys think it's a trail.
[35:01] It's the campground.
[35:03] Yeah, yeah, these guys.
[35:05] And then it's the campground and then George Carpenter on the other side, which is on horseshoe.
[35:14] You need to go.
[35:16] We just go do a direct aspect.
[35:18] And just make it a trail.
[35:19] And then through there, do you know where it is?
[35:23] We'll just make it a trail.
[35:26] Wow, maybe if you hold the land on the other side,
[35:29] do we have a difference?
[35:30] I know, I know, that's a hard part.
[35:39] That's the entrance to the campground,
[35:41] and then it goes, and the bridge is right there,
[35:43] and then it goes up a hell of hell here.
[35:45] How soon do you need an answer on this aura?
[35:47] Some joy, just some joy.
[35:49] Oh, I don't need an answer at all right now.
[35:51] We're going to be just based on kind of the discussion
[35:54] And today, we'll come back to the town and present all of the alternatives in a warm
[35:59] cleaning.
[36:00] You can invite the campground and all of the residences along San Sal.
[36:06] And we can talk about each of the alternatives just in more detail.
[36:11] This was really just to kind of get an idea where you guys stood.
[36:16] And if we come back, we say, you know what we recommend, this investment.
[36:19] At that point, you can say, you know, what we've changed our mind, we want a new bridge.
[36:27] It's really just our management team just needed a little bit more feedback before we came forward with a formal recommendation.
[36:38] So if we were to leave that bridge as is and close it off to traffic, could it be used for recreation?
[36:46] And first, no mobiles in the winter or not.
[36:51] Is that a possibility?
[36:54] So maybe that's another alternative.
[36:57] Maybe you can have an alternative that you've closed this,
[37:02] but we make it like a week and we have the bridge for just pedestrian loads,
[37:08] no mobiles.
[37:10] The town would have a share in that, but it would be certainly less.
[37:16] If you rehabbed it, what's the weight of weight?
[37:24] Weight?
[37:30] We have to go and look at and crash some numbers.
[37:38] I don't recall what the original structure was
[37:41] low rated to, but whatever that original low rating was, that's what we can get it back up to.
[37:49] I think that'd be interesting to for us for how to plot information.
[37:56] Yes.
[37:56] It's got a wooden deck and a B-maxed-out, it's six-dooled-out, even probably for recreation,
[38:03] is that the same bedline is 16,000 for wood deck, or is it a sweet one that's for recreation?
[38:13] Yeah, it's the same 16,000 for a wood deck. Sometimes we go and we'll load these structures
[38:21] and we'll find they can actually carry 20 or 25 but you're right that's happening. By having a wood deck
[38:28] It's just, it's limited to that, to that, to that team.
[38:33] Something else, wouldn't happen in their last two or three years, as GPS is sending
[38:39] tractor trailer trucks, and had to go rescue them a couple of different dines, either
[38:45] caught in the grid or, it's my last one, is this summer, they made it across the bridge,
[38:51] full, full of masks, and zig-zag back and forth across the bridge, Lee.
[38:55] You can't do it again.
[38:59] You can't do it again.
[38:59] You can't do it again.
[39:00] Before you get in South Elf, so obviously, it holds on more than five tons, but yeah.
[39:07] Yeah.
[39:08] You put that too many times.
[39:09] You put that too many times.
[39:10] You put that too many times.
[39:13] It's not that it's happened like a few times in the last few years.
[39:18] Trunks that shendee going through there.
[39:22] Obviously, you know, in the five time wait and in the science and the fact that common sense would
[39:27] say probably shouldn't be going through there.
[39:30] But they try it out because their GPS says to go,
[39:41] Laura, could you send me a copy of your PowerPoint
[39:45] through email so I could share with the board?
[39:48] Yep.
[39:49] Yeah.
[39:50] I'll post this to our public project site and then just share that link with you.
[39:55] Thank you.
[40:04] But I think the consensus here or at least some of us is one of the first two options is not enough traffic to justify the higher amounts for the taxpayers.
[40:24] It's a way to, I see it, but I am also going to go to the salt shed, I don't want to
[40:30] go.
[40:31] Oh my God.
[40:32] I was just going to ask who are you said that this, the percentage share is changing.
[40:39] This coming, like just like a session, and I know the session doesn't go into a genie ring,
[40:45] but are they talking about, uping those rates, are they talking about trying to keep
[40:50] them the same, the percentage share?
[40:53] Just the share of this investment. So currently, when we have that recommend that a town
[41:00] disambest structure, we still make them pay either at 2.5 or 5% share. And so this is
[41:09] legislation that's going through that says, hey, you know what, if a town decides to
[41:15] disambest, that share should be zero or not. And so all the other shares are going to
[41:21] estimate, share, currently right now, you were decided to find the identity
[41:27] and the disagreement today.
[41:29] It would be 2.5% but we're going to, it's, we're pretty confident that
[41:36] that legislation will go through, which is where that zero percent is coming from.
[41:46] Do the only one that you're protecting to change is just a disinvestment one, that that
[41:51] will be zero.
[41:52] The rest of the, the rehab or the little bridge was still be torn a half and
[41:58] Bifers.
[42:15] Questions or comments?
[42:20] I'd like to know.
[42:23] Thank you very much Laura.
[42:26] Thank you.
[42:27] Thank you for your time.
[42:30] Thanks.
[42:34] I'll try to give you back the screen now.
[42:44] Take care.
[42:45] Can you do?
[42:59] What are your guys thoughts on that bridge?
[43:01] You guys affects you guys more than anybody else.
[43:04] Personally, I'm going to care if it was there.
[43:06] It's time to choose.
[43:07] I really want to hit the nuisance to me, really.
[43:10] It's a nuisance to our seats, some of our seasonals,
[43:13] because you've got these idiots that like to go through at 1.30 in the morning.
[43:18] Just rubbing it up.
[43:20] You know?
[43:20] I'm just talking about the bridge.
[43:21] Do you want to burn out on the bridge?
[43:23] So, first thing myself, I want to care for one of the way.
[43:27] As if I do anything with any of the other way,
[43:29] and I do it from the horseshoe circle side and always.
[43:32] You can give these your access.
[43:34] Six million dollars.
[43:36] It is so built real six months out of here.
[43:38] To tear it down.
[43:39] You can still travel through there.
[43:42] We could do it for...
[43:43] All right, we're going to say, can we get you away?
[43:45] And then she said, the lead paint.
[43:47] What paint?
[43:48] There's paint on that bridge.
[43:49] You can waste it.
[43:49] I'm up to the...
[43:51] That's what I said.
[43:52] That's what I said.
[43:53] The one point three million left.
[43:55] I'm going to have a bit on that job.
[43:56] I just got off.
[43:57] Take a crane, lift the whole thing,
[43:59] if it's got that paint or whatever you're going to be taking it.
[44:02] I think the paint lets a long time go.
[44:04] It's a small and a little bit of grit.
[44:06] Great, good thing to do it.
[44:08] Especially if you take the neck off.
[44:09] Just pushing plastic into it.
[44:11] So nothing gets in the water.
[44:14] That's what I was looking for.
[44:16] It's stupid.
[44:16] I'm sorry.
[44:17] I don't want everything.
[44:19] We're all on space and floor.
[44:22] That didn't work.
[44:24] Okay.
[44:24] I'm going to show you.
[44:25] Is that what Sheldon did down on the...
[44:29] I just feel it shouldn't we?
[44:30] Yeah, we replaced Sheldon.
[44:32] Sheldon's correct.
[44:33] I think it was one of my borrowers.
[44:35] Yeah, yeah.
[44:36] Did that, what they ended up doing?
[44:37] I'm afraid to get it.
[44:39] I just didn't.
[44:40] That's something that he's the same thing.
[44:41] Oh, the blue shower over there.
[44:43] Yeah, sure, sure.
[44:44] I don't know what he said.
[44:45] Would you say that?
[44:46] Would you say that?
[44:46] Would you say that?
[44:46] Would you say that?
[44:47] Would you say that?
[44:47] Would you say that?
[44:48] I'm sorry.
[44:49] It's a lot of big plays.
[44:51] We just want to really get normal.
[44:54] We just want to get normal.
[44:54] Get normal.
[44:55] We just want to get normal.
[44:56] Did you get the wrong side?
[44:59] That'd be the first time.
[45:00] I mean, that's nice work on these things. I mean, I mean, no one is going to do that.
[45:05] Why don't we go to the school? I mean, I'm the one who's going to go to school.
[45:07] Yes, I mean, I mean, something with historic, over then it's like, well, no one will just take it right.
[45:12] I mean, it's really nothing.
[45:14] It's horrible then.
[45:15] Just been 7 million dollars on that everybody time your next judge.
[45:19] Yeah.
[45:19] I happen to look at myself a mirror and talk to myself.
[45:22] Okay, give yourself a bit of hope.
[45:27] The last group is optional, but down on the state, they're still at 1.3 million and they're
[45:32] not taking the bread out of it, but it's going to cost a down zero dollar in a whole
[45:37] one.
[45:38] And it just makes sense.
[45:39] Do you need anything on the table?
[45:41] Probably you have to pay to the bank and pay to the bank and pay to the bank and pay to the
[45:44] Oh, because it's...
[45:46] I don't really pay the wall.
[45:49] Yeah.
[45:51] But it's because it's not bank width, so it doesn't need to pay to the bank.
[45:58] They're putting a little bridge at the end of the line so they can't fit the atmosphere, the future, the future, the future, the future, the future, the future, the future, the future.
[46:20] I don't know what they think, what they think, what they think is, I mean, Jordan is the same.
[46:26] See, see, the bridge was going to get a certain amount of salt to add.
[46:29] And I was looking at these, what are we sponsoring?
[46:32] But we did it.
[46:32] The army's responsibility to, we stream it, right?
[46:36] To retrieve it.
[46:37] If it was to wash out.
[46:38] So to speak.
[46:40] And they just packed it.
[46:41] Female, if it was something, well, I would say it was something like that.
[46:45] It would probably be a female event.
[46:47] And then it would be a bit of just to help.
[46:49] I think he's a little bit more positive.
[46:52] Yeah, but the thing is, is that we had to be registered for the senior.
[46:55] We kind of know about it though.
[46:56] Yeah, we were only registered.
[46:58] So, it's what we wanted.
[46:59] She's doing a week.
[47:00] We got a week.
[47:02] She's doing a week.
[47:03] She's doing a week.
[47:06] But when you live at the end of the people,
[47:09] who can bid on these because you make that federal government budget.
[47:13] You may have to.
[47:14] So that's maybe the end of the day.
[47:15] Shall we?
[47:17] Yeah.
[47:17] Let's keep that.
[47:20] Did you guys have any questions or comments on that before we move on?
[47:30] No.
[47:31] No.
[47:31] No.
[47:32] Yeah.
[47:34] All right.
[47:35] It's your way.
[47:38] You're.
[47:38] You got to do it.
[47:39] It's an executive session.
[47:48] I'm going to drop you home.
[47:57] See, you got struck with your grand agreement.
[48:00] Pretty nice to see.
[48:01] And that's for box culvert on the Davis Road, just before playing Captain Rich plays.
[48:09] Good to see you next year.
[48:10] Next year.
[48:11] 27.
[48:12] Well, it's a two-year grant, so fiscal year, I don't know if you're here.
[48:21] Expellers December 31st of 28, so we've got two years.
[48:25] 27.
[48:26] 20 years.
[48:27] What's that?
[48:27] 27.
[48:28] 20 years.
[48:28] Right.
[48:29] So.
[48:31] The flight for that we got on this last year to do the one on the nickels row and applied for another one and got this one for to do the next year.
[48:43] So you're just looking for a signature from Dean?
[48:45] Yeah, one person signature on the second page.
[48:51] We're only motion on that, right?
[48:53] Yep.
[48:54] All right, so how's it work if you want to accept it?
[48:56] That's your question.
[48:58] Oh, where's the rest of it?
[49:00] It's a structure's grant.
[49:02] Is it just a given function for a structure's grant signature?
[49:07] I gave the commission for a structure's grant permit.
[49:16] And its stakes will be eligible for up to 200,000,
[49:21] which is the maximum for a paving grant or structure.
[49:24] I'm sorry, this is maximum for a project.
[49:25] It's
[49:34] been moved in seconded, it's signed the prevention of the sign that structures grant for the box covered on the box covered on Davis Road up to 200,000
[49:51] holes in favor.
[49:53] All right.
[49:55] And you're posed.
[50:00] And then we can feed it.
[50:02] Well, one step closer.
[50:06] Get the Bellman in there.
[50:11] Perfect.
[50:25] With that being said, I'll need to get Tyler Billingsley, the engineer and the
[50:30] we've been working with, get him started, get him on board with us, so he can start this
[50:36] winter hopefully, or the fall, winter going to any engineering needs to do to, because
[50:41] why I did the estimate for the application for the granite, based it off in the hydraulic
[50:49] because that's what they did, so it tells you in the height of the whip and I just threw a
[50:54] gas out for the length, freely piece it, gas I think, so, but he'll, he'll find a little, he'll
[51:02] find him that, he'll come up with a final length which will, then we'll know what to order.
[51:08] So we should have more than a higher Tyler for this project.
[51:12] If you choose, I guess.
[51:19] I'll make motion at higher pressure.
[51:21] I'll do it every time.
[51:22] I'll do it every time.
[51:24] It's getting a start.
[51:29] It means that he drives the cars off the contract.
[51:32] Oh, second.
[51:34] 15, 20,000 dollars or whatever.
[51:37] It's pretty good to do his share of the word.
[51:43] It's been moved in seconded to have Tyler.
[51:47] Do the engine air and work.
[51:49] Excuse me for the project on the box cover for Davis Road.
[51:55] Any further discussion?
[51:58] See, then all those in favor.
[52:00] All right.
[52:01] Any opposed?
[52:04] I did.
[52:09] I'm just a little discussion on the patent that we did.
[52:13] I met with Dean one day and run this by him.
[52:16] We talked about it earlier.
[52:18] and I got $100,000 in the resurfacing fund, and then we have the paving fund that we work at as well.
[52:27] So the total project for the paving was $109.
[52:30] May 3, 2, 28, 44.
[52:33] So the 100,000 will come out of the resurfacing and they will make the balance in 1983, 2, 28, 44 will come out of the paving fund, which is a little bit more than what I had originally told you.
[52:47] It has a ton of inches of milk. One thing, the price for the asphalt would not 85 cents a ton, because of the price of fuel.
[52:57] That's the gamble you take when you work with the contractors and you go with the AC price adjustment
[53:03] and they can go up for it and go down. I think more time just worked in their favors and then I guess they're
[53:09] but in this particular case it worked against this.
[53:12] Approximately 1.3.
[53:18] And that was the number I gave in two for the estimate was 1.3 and when you actually measured it out
[53:23] footage was two or three hundred feet more of them and it was solely our boss and
[53:27] pose yeah any of you're done for the it's done you but you're not doing
[53:33] other places this season though that was a shame I don't really talk it over the
[53:42] Dean at Dean he felt that we were right right thing to do we had the money there
[53:49] we just had the yeah over more from the baby and fun than from and what I
[53:54] I told you.
[53:55] And you're happy with the outcome.
[53:57] Yep.
[53:58] Yep.
[53:58] You're a good job.
[54:01] It's not November.
[54:02] Yeah.
[54:05] Yeah.
[54:05] Yeah.
[54:05] That's always about that.
[54:18] That's one here about over on the time of very exciting executive.
[54:21] That's exactly it.
[54:23] I think the rest of this.
[54:24] I think what truckbets can be opened.
[54:27] All right.
[54:29] I guess the only other thing that isn't on the executive would be the truckbets.
[54:35] We did get a couple. I think we had two for the fire truck and one for the
[54:42] We want them.
[54:44] We've got this one here too that I just have to ran around because I think what you saw
[54:48] last time.
[54:51] That's pretty good.
[54:53] That's pretty good.
[54:54] That's pretty good.
[54:56] Wow.
[54:59] It would be easier to make sure it comes.
[55:02] Great.
[55:05] So we have a good year for the town 12 truck from Josh Jarvis-Tuckin for $14,000 and $1.
[55:19] That's for the powtrap and
[55:41] this is Anthony Nichols for 10,000.
[55:57] I think something like remember what we're talking about.
[56:06] We did.
[56:07] How do I think that would happen?
[56:08] Sure, we used to talk about
[56:16] it.
[56:16] I'll have to.
[56:17] We're curious myself.
[56:19] Who is it?
[56:19] One of the bitters.
[56:22] We've been related to it.
[56:24] That's a good place.
[56:27] Just a little.
[56:30] It's been a couple months, we haven't had any other beds, so we're
[56:42] going to be able to go with.
[56:44] I think so.
[56:45] All right.
[56:49] That will be accepted bed now.
[56:52] From Josh Shaffers.
[56:55] I'll second it.
[57:08] I've moved in second it.
[57:10] To accept Josh Shaffers is bed at 14,000 in one dollar.
[57:18] And it's for the discussion.
[57:21] See, none of you are in the favor.
[57:23] Say aye.
[57:24] All right.
[57:25] Any opposed?
[57:27] John, she's going to truck.
[57:44] So these are for the fire truck.
[57:52] I'm going to just reserve the range of these.
[57:58] First, I'm going to choose the company that they have.
[58:02] This is M and C transport.
[58:06] The corporate, I
[58:09] have a Franklin, they've been 5,100,
[58:36] this is Josh Jarvis trucking, and he
[58:42] $7,501.
[58:57] That is a lot of miles, doesn't it?
[58:59] I think it's on 18,000.
[59:07] I'll keep it simple.
[59:09] I'm over, we reject the bids.
[59:11] I'll second one.
[59:18] It's been moved and seconded to reject the bids for the fire truck.
[59:24] Any further discussion on it?
[59:29] See you in none.
[59:31] All those favorite I.
[59:32] All right.
[59:32] Neaposed
[59:36] fire truck will not sell today.
[59:42] But it's your auction, get that.
[1:00:03] So the other part of the executive, yes. I know that we're going to executive on, do you want to keep these things right there? Is it first like an hour?
[1:00:15] How do we put it?
[1:00:17] We're first now?
[1:00:19] Yeah.
[1:00:20] Hold on.
[1:00:22] Yeah.
[1:00:26] It's on the wall up there.
[1:00:27] I'm going to go out here and go down to the office, go to the office, go to the office,
[1:00:34] I can't stand the wall.
[1:00:36] It's in Murr's office.
[1:00:37] It's on the wall.
[1:00:39] Yeah, on the outside.
[1:00:39] On the outside.
[1:00:40] I have to go.
[1:00:43] Actually, I think it's good.
[1:00:46] Did you make it?
[1:00:49] Pierre's moved the next second into going to executive for first analysis.
[1:00:55] And for the discussion,
[1:00:59] see none, everybody in favor of going in an executive for
[1:01:02] personnel issues, so you can find what's happening.
[1:01:08] Okay, you ready?
[1:01:10] Yeah.
[1:01:10] So, do you want to practice this thing?
[1:01:15] I don't think so.
[1:01:17] Let's let it play and then we'll take it from there.
[1:01:29] It's not.
[1:01:34] Yeah.
[1:01:38] One of the new neighbors.
[1:01:40] So they were all excited.
[1:01:41] You know, this is a community here.
[1:01:54] We open this
[1:02:03] venue nine years ago, or a cell phone call that it would be something, and we thought,
[1:02:09] let's just go to work hard, we're going to make it well be can.
[1:02:12] We have been so well received in this inventory.
[1:02:14] Look at the farmland.
[1:02:18] The opportunities to just connect with nature and find that solitude.
[1:02:24] I think that you can have any level of connection that you want on your schedule.
[1:02:33] Look around.
[1:02:35] Look, look, look.
[1:02:37] Lighting, Christmas, grace, Easter and time.
[1:02:40] We have concert celebrate.
[1:02:46] We can walk to school, walk to the bank, walk to the grocery store, walk to the stop desk,
[1:02:53] walk to the doctor's office, the ICI can't feel anything I need that I can't get you.
[1:03:01] There's a strong community here in the business field. There's driving businesses that offer everything.
[1:03:08] First rate part there, restaurants, business services to people
[1:03:17] and live here and be safe and I get fat as a whole
[1:03:22] per budget but you know some kid full of past or house going too fast and I think if that's the only thing that we have to worry about it
[1:03:29] somebody driving past or house fast that felt a lot about our good little wife here.
[1:03:49] I think it's much improved.
[1:03:51] I think having the people feet was the ticket, I think it's like one of the very
[1:03:57] other ideas.
[1:03:58] You're a wrap-up video, right Tom?
[1:04:04] I, I think that was the missing piece, which was kind of a message that we got from
[1:04:10] the select board.
[1:04:12] The last time that we were on the dock, it was there needed to be in a spurred speaking for
[1:04:19] itself. You need to actually have faces. You need to have familiar people. And yeah,
[1:04:30] we captured that there. So that's the final piece of the production puzzle along with
[1:04:37] the other four by the edits. They need a final polish. As you can see at the end of this,
[1:04:46] It's sort of anti-climagdically just as a unit spurred and then it's over, so we have to do the graphics where I can polish that, but that is the final production piece of the puzzle.
[1:04:58] So once we get that finalized, which is sounds like, you know, I didn't hear a rock as a clause coming through the microphone, but it sounds like it went over okay.
[1:05:12] Then the next piece is, again, put all those title cards, all shut up a little bit, and
[1:05:19] then we get to actually start to move these things out in a marketing sense and see how
[1:05:27] I play it.
[1:05:31] Yeah, I think it sounds good.
[1:05:33] It was, I thought it was very good, Tom, I appreciate where you guys did with that.
[1:05:39] Yeah, they have multiple aspects of down for sure.
[1:05:44] I mean, I appreciate the suggestion.
[1:05:49] You know, you all were able to really clearly say what you thought was missing.
[1:05:56] And I think we're lucky too that the people that we call on camera are very well-spoken.
[1:06:04] They really, you know, no one looks like they're acting.
[1:06:08] You know, I think everyone comes across as really sincere.
[1:06:14] Yeah, I agree. Definitely.
[1:06:16] I mean, you take Rick here.
[1:06:18] You know, he's well-traveled and seen it.
[1:06:21] He's always looked forward to coming home.
[1:06:25] I've never seen Rick talk as much as he did in that interview.
[1:06:32] You get Rick going about eating his burger and he's ripping.
[1:06:34] So basically, Tom, we just sat down, you know, like a fan, we just sat in the park and he just asked me questions and I just answered questions and he did that with everybody and just kind of took, you know, the bits and pieces from it and just kept it casual and light and easy and
[1:07:10] Yeah, I mean, nothing's scripted, that's all just people, you know, really speaking from our, and people are really generous with their time.
[1:07:20] I know
[1:07:24] Rick and Angela and, you know,
[1:07:30] You know, those initial couple interviews, those, I think that was right before Fourth of July, and they still were happy to get in there and make that happen. So, you know, could those to everyone that participated to
[1:07:47] help here, here's the beer you can have.
[1:07:50] No, that was good. Not better than, yeah.
[1:07:55] I'm looking forward to try to read you.
[1:08:00] Not better than the first one. No, I mean, it hits a lot of different, different aspects.
[1:08:04] Things of the town does, you know, these sports in there, there's parades in there, the
[1:08:09] part, you know, it shows a lot more. You can, you know, said it, but I think before it was like,
[1:08:16] just a blep. Yeah. And I say, this is, this is the town.
[1:08:22] Right. I mean, I think the other, I call them, for lack of a better word, the snippet video. It's
[1:08:28] kind of grab your attention to kind of get you to this final video that really kind of bring
[1:08:36] it all together. Yeah, from a marketing perspective each other part to play, but I mean the
[1:08:45] part of this one is plays obvious, this is really kind of the heart of things I think, and also
[1:08:52] you know anytime you're doing a project like this you want to feel like the community feels
[1:08:57] represented by whatever it is that you put together.
[1:09:00] And so to be at the point where you actually have, again, people from the community speaking
[1:09:07] honestly, not doing something scripted,
[1:09:12] not, you know, just being allowed to speak for themselves
[1:09:14] about why you need a spirit is great.
[1:09:17] That is a business person as a resident, as a long-time resident, that goes a long way.
[1:09:23] And I think the people see this and recognize that authenticity.
[1:09:28] And when we were, you know, we were telling together who to talk to, you know, we tried to, you know, get different demographics, right?
[1:09:45] less, and you've got, you know, Steven, Sarah, and, you know, you've got your business,
[1:09:52] people, and we tried to get at least at just timing why it just didn't work out.
[1:09:59] But now I think it was.
[1:10:00] I think this is a good group.
[1:10:01] People have different ways.
[1:10:05] And I think Sean really was clear on why we needed anyone other than her.
[1:10:09] But I'm very grateful to other people being okay, right?
[1:10:15] No reason China kind of just done it all right?
[1:10:18] No.
[1:10:19] That one will, that it was just fine.
[1:10:22] I mean, you didn't have to do that, really.
[1:10:24] Just had the voice of her.
[1:10:29] Cool.
[1:10:30] So that concludes the production
[1:10:35] aspect of the project, which is great.
[1:10:41] because that, I mean, that's essentially the project proper, right?
[1:10:44] That's what we budgeted for and everything.
[1:10:46] Now we get to move into the distribution,
[1:10:48] which is when people actually get to see it.
[1:10:52] And again, having mentioned now that the actual project
[1:10:55] costs went toward the production, the distribution is not costing
[1:10:59] anything.
[1:11:01] Just in case anyone's heart just stopped realizing,
[1:11:05] I got to watch my phrasing there, but distribution is all
[1:11:08] organic, slow roll, you know, my plan right now is to have quarterly reports for you guys
[1:11:17] and for the EPA, metrics, comments, reactions, shares, distribution,
[1:11:26] just in general,
[1:11:27] we're kind of demographic data, we're getting out of it, where people are reacting, where
[1:11:31] Paul in the park. And yeah, even though the production parts over, if from that
[1:11:37] added makes sense to tweak the videos, to reach those people better than, you know,
[1:11:43] and all, oh, you know, that's, that's going to have to free a charge. So,
[1:11:52] I'll make
[1:11:52] your tongue. That's it. Yeah, you appreciate that.
[1:11:58] Is there anything you need a
[1:12:00] at this point? Tom? No. It sounds like things are looking good. Like I said, I'm going to do that
[1:12:10] final polish and so I'm going to pass that back to all the stakeholders you guys, the EBA,
[1:12:20] and then you know, I just have more work to do basically. You're all sat on your end, so
[1:12:27] I think there's one more invoice coming in for that last little portion of the project.
[1:12:35] Other than that, we're going to go.
[1:12:39] And actually, even though I know this stuff gets confusing,
[1:12:44] but the website that's a key component of this,
[1:12:47] dragging people toward a separate site that contains the videos
[1:12:51] and links to the other municipal organizations.
[1:12:55] I think I've actually found a way to do that cost-free as well, so we're going to do as much
[1:13:06] as we can without any further financial investment here.
[1:13:12] Well, good.
[1:13:12] Thank you.
[1:13:13] That sounds good.
[1:13:14] Thanks.
[1:13:15] Anyway, appreciate you guys listening to our feedback and doing this.
[1:13:20] That came out very good.
[1:13:23] Thank you.
[1:13:24] I have it asked you this.
[1:13:27] I don't not put you on the spot, as far as a timeline you think for trying to kind of
[1:13:34] rule things out what were you envisioning.
[1:13:40] I think a realistic timeline, a lot of when you're first rowing this stuff out, his pure
[1:13:47] digital work, it's posting, it's not any heavy lifting, that's pretty much immediate.
[1:13:56] Once the videos are polished, which I shouldn't be able to have done with them in the next couple weeks,
[1:14:04] then after those couple weeks, then project proper begins.
[1:14:08] I'll probably send you a few more updates on that front.
[1:14:11] Just so you know exactly what it is that we're doing.
[1:14:15] Moving forward.
[1:14:17] Then for the website, the website is the biggest left.
[1:14:21] Realistically, I'm going to say I'm off an half, probably before that's up, and then once
[1:14:32] you have that first kind of quarterly look, here's the numbers, here's what's playing,
[1:14:36] here's work got the information from, then we can either adjust, we can do more, we can
[1:14:41] do, we can just shift where we're doing,
[1:14:47] or, I guess the short answer is, polish videos
[1:14:49] in a couple of weeks, distribution begins immediately after that, we have to say we're going
[1:14:55] to say I'm not there after.
[1:15:00] So, that will make sense?
[1:15:02] Yep.
[1:15:05] Okay.
[1:15:18] And we'll try to have any questions for Ms. Shawna.
[1:15:23] Thank you guys very much.
[1:15:25] So, we appreciate you doing that. That was great.
[1:15:28] Thank you.
[1:15:29] Thank you.
[1:15:30] Wording it, honestly.
[1:15:31] I know it's been a process, but I'm excited to get it rolling out, so we can go down here.
[1:15:38] see what comes from it and you know just putting in a spare garage it's
[1:15:45] more expensive people the fun of this stuff is always when people say it you know
[1:15:51] if you don't if you make something that just falls down no it sees it it's the most
[1:15:56] depressing thing of the world so we're not going to do that
[1:16:00] that's that's always the end of all we're not going to do that
[1:16:03] All right, thanks, guys. Thank you.
[1:16:09] Take care of yourself.
[1:16:22] All of that.
[1:16:23] Thank you so much.
[1:16:25] Questions or anything.
[1:16:29] Me and Ryan.
[1:16:32] No, we're doing it.
[1:16:35] And say, we appreciate you guys.
[1:16:36] Listen, and do it.
[1:16:38] I'm going to feed back in here.
[1:16:40] You're the ball.
[1:16:40] Good.
[1:16:43] Okay, I'm glad that you approve.
[1:16:46] Thank you.
[1:16:49] Thank you.
[1:16:50] Is that Steven?
[1:16:54] Sarah?
[1:16:55] I got off course?
[1:16:56] No.
[1:16:58] I don't know who they got off course people were.
[1:17:00] Oh, I was like, there were ideas.
[1:17:02] I think they were random people.
[1:17:04] Oh, yeah.
[1:17:05] You should ask your kids.
[1:17:06] You did have some.
[1:17:08] Like when somebody's something to stop like in one of the snippets.
[1:17:11] The local one, where she's just local, is the woman sitting in the park, right?
[1:17:19] And if you wanted to shoulder one, that's actually my favorite one.
[1:17:23] I think she was just somebody.
[1:17:26] I think there's someone walking through the town for us.
[1:17:31] In one of the videos, I think that's maybe different than this or something like that.
[1:17:34] He had people.
[1:17:36] Yeah, I don't know if you can.
[1:17:38] I mean, this is going to remember people.
[1:17:43] I can't think of their actual business or their beef.
[1:17:47] They actually sent him some footage of people on the river.
[1:17:51] While he was seen it.
[1:17:53] Of course he did.
[1:17:53] Yeah, he's John.
[1:17:56] Yeah, John.
[1:17:57] Yes.
[1:17:58] Yes.
[1:17:59] So they actually sent him some video to use.
[1:18:03] So that was really helpful too.
[1:18:07] So it's like I said,
[1:18:15] part of the reason I really wanted to work with Tom, I think you
[1:18:19] probably see now that I just think he has your appreciation for the area as much as we do.
[1:18:28] And I think that comes through.
[1:18:34] So thank you.
[1:18:37] So thank you.
[1:18:40] We're just, that's just the beginning, right?
[1:18:42] So hopefully the goal is that it's going to drive people.
[1:18:48] Right?
[1:18:49] So thank you.
[1:18:50] I want to come here.
[1:18:55] Right here.
[1:18:58] Go to the library here, do it.
[1:19:01] The library website will be, you know, that website that we're talking about that is going
[1:19:06] to drive, you know, this video at the end that they'll have that published card.
[1:19:12] Can you see it?
[1:19:13] I'll come show it to you.
[1:19:15] It's all good.
[1:19:17] Like, it'll have all these different sites.
[1:19:20] People will be able to access, so that will be important.
[1:19:29] Thank you, Sean.
[1:19:31] Thank you.
[1:19:35] Brenda.
[1:19:35] Oh, wow.
[1:19:36] Nice to meet you.
[1:19:37] Very, very nice to meet you.
[1:19:38] Thank you for being here.
[1:19:39] How did that come from?
[1:19:40] I don't know.
[1:19:43] So I'm not here asking for anything.
[1:19:47] I'm here just to give some positive from the library.
[1:19:50] Give you a little update.
[1:19:51] How busy we've been from January to August we had just died of 14,000 people in the library.
[1:20:00] We had 13,924 people.
[1:20:04] We checked out 12,000 items out of the library itself.
[1:20:11] We averaged 247 computer uses in the library a month out of the computers that we own.
[1:20:20] But we had 12,555 for computer and Wi-Fi just in the building.
[1:20:25] That's not the people outside utilizing Wi-Fi.
[1:20:29] So that's a lot in eight months.
[1:20:32] The meeting room, which I think is always important for you guys to know,
[1:20:36] use 218 times.
[1:20:41] It's used more than I think any of us ever thought it would be.
[1:20:46] And it would be used more if it was bigger, but we don't have bigger.
[1:20:49] So, you know, I send them to talk to Billy Joe if they need paper.
[1:20:55] We'd have 321 people one-on-one with technology help.
[1:21:00] We've done 27 home deliveries.
[1:21:04] And that's for people who are homebound and want some reading,
[1:21:08] material or something.
[1:21:10] I do deliveries on Wednesdays if they want it.
[1:21:12] They call them they arrange it with me.
[1:21:15] I do stick to the village and just outside the village.
[1:21:21] I'm not going to go, you know, 20 minutes back and forth.
[1:21:27] So I do limit it a little bit.
[1:21:31] We've answered 3,800 to reference questions,
[1:21:34] which is using a librarian's skill to help somebody.
[1:21:37] So, we've offered 262 programs with 2446 people attending those programs.
[1:21:46] So, I wanted to share that back in June, I didn't receive notice in May, and I thought
[1:21:55] it was a scam for an all-expense pay trip to Washington, D.C., with by the Institute of Museum
[1:22:04] library science. And I thought it was a scam and today's later the state librarian sent out
[1:22:10] an email that if you've got this, it's real you need to respond. So they paid for me all expenses
[1:22:16] paid to go down from June 10th. We're now June 9th through the 13th of April. Tell airfare,
[1:22:25] cabs back and forth, meals, everything.
[1:22:31] And that was to do with America's 250th. And this was all the northeast states, plus we had to
[1:22:40] lie and all the territories, which was phenomenal to talk with them. They didn't gave us $1,000 stipend
[1:22:50] that I could use for whatever I wanted with the library. And I'm going to be going, which is
[1:22:55] to this year, to the New England Library Association Conference, the end of October
[1:23:00] for 38, I'll drive back and forth, and that way they all get some more information.
[1:23:07] The one in Washington, I was so excited about, I didn't go on the tours around Washington
[1:23:12] because I wanted to attend more of the conference stuff, and that first day it was all to
[1:23:17] do with grant writing, and it was from a person who used to work in public library, state
[1:23:23] librarian and she reveals like grants for association of
[1:23:29] roles for libraries, which is all 50 states plus territories.
[1:23:35] And it was being able to ask her all kinds of
[1:23:38] questions and yet her advice on writing these grants and how
[1:23:42] you have better luck of getting them.
[1:23:44] And so I thought that was worth the whole thing there.
[1:23:50] And then the Vermont Community Foundation,
[1:23:57] they had reached out to me to do a
[1:24:00] full-interview about how my library provides local news and information to our patrons
[1:24:07] and I answer their questions and then they called me a couple weeks later and said
[1:24:12] they were sending me a link to a three-question application because they were awarding
[1:24:18] $6,000 grant based on the little phone interview.
[1:24:23] So we just got that.
[1:24:24] I can do what I like with it.
[1:24:27] I talk to the trustees and we're going to see how we can better provide news and information
[1:24:32] to the community, whether it's linking information from access TV, video of your select board meetings,
[1:24:41] things you guys got going on, the village trustees got going on, how can we better help the
[1:24:47] community know about that. And should we, you know, do something more with getting a newspaper
[1:24:53] or something in the library? I don't know. We're going to solicit the community a little bit
[1:24:58] what would they like that would help them. We're going to put different new sites directly that
[1:25:04] are reliable on the patron computers so that if they want to commit a click it go right to that
[1:25:10] for them. But that was pretty exciting, too, that I didn't go looking for this one. We
[1:25:17] have gotten a $350 summer reading grant, which I think Billy Joe's has. We did the
[1:25:24] Children's Literacy Foundation Summer Readers and every child got two free new books.
[1:25:29] They got to pick out and take old and they had a story time from a presenter. We just got our
[1:25:36] 50 books for the Vermont Reads and those are free for community members to just come grab
[1:25:42] copy of the free book and they can keep it or read it and then pass it on.
[1:25:47] We also have a facilitator coming from Vermont in the entities on October 20th and she
[1:25:52] will lead a discussion on that book.
[1:25:55] That was all to do with the grants I wrote.
[1:25:59] We have an open house on Saturday. I'd love to see all of you pop in, and it's for public
[1:26:06] library, it's 130 years old this month. And so we are doing an open house. Also, on September
[1:26:14] 29th of 1983, you're very graduated.
[1:26:20] Ground was broken for the building that it is where
[1:26:23] it's now. And so little facts will have up. I'm the 13th director for the Inespar
[1:26:30] public library in 130 years, and we'll have the names of the directors, locations
[1:26:36] that's been in, all that type of stuff. I've been digging through the historical society.
[1:26:42] There isn't much there. Any information they had? No, there's not much on the library at all.
[1:26:47] really I was very disappointed.
[1:26:51] So I have Janice Jero's book out so people can read the
[1:26:57] little excerpt from there that she did and but if anybody has any older stuff on the
[1:27:03] library, I'd love to have it for Saturday but I really thought I'd find more in the
[1:27:09] historical site. I think I found three things and that's been it. So those are some of
[1:27:16] good things going on at the library, we are busy, greatly appreciate how you guys
[1:27:23] support here coming over to volunteer to help with different things and my
[1:27:29] uncane comes over and helps and as per this comes and helps they all volunteer
[1:27:34] their time and help with different things and lugging things back and forth to the
[1:27:39] Irish storage, cane and damage usually come with their truck and help you with that.
[1:27:44] a little more limited than I used to be from the second half of the surgery, but I still don't let it hold me back.
[1:27:53] I can't climb a ladder now, I don't have good balance, so I figured the town would not let me up on ladder.
[1:28:01] But I really appreciate everything you guys do.
[1:28:05] I know the communities as two.
[1:28:12] but we had 80 people in an all the library.
[1:28:15] And so that shows how much it is appreciated
[1:28:19] in this community.
[1:28:21] So thank you.
[1:28:24] Were you going to inform one of the other
[1:28:26] in executive or yes, they had the paper?
[1:28:32] Yeah, so good things happened.
[1:28:35] Did you have any questions about the library thing?
[1:28:42] And with that Washington DC trip,
[1:28:44] how I got selected was, and I think you
[1:28:47] And it's talked to Becky and St. Alvin's and she told you about the state report we do.
[1:28:52] Well, the libraries selected were pulled from that report.
[1:28:56] And there was certain criteria.
[1:28:59] And all the criteria they were looking for are library needs.
[1:29:02] We only had one full time plate.
[1:29:04] Our budget is under a certain amount.
[1:29:07] Our circulation, our visitors were a certain amount.
[1:29:11] So they took all that information and they had, that's how they went and they picked.
[1:29:15] And they only picked 150 of us for the whole Northeast.
[1:29:19] So we were picked.
[1:29:21] The whole Northeast.
[1:29:24] Now we're on the Northeast.
[1:29:25] All the Northeast states.
[1:29:27] That's good.
[1:29:28] Yeah.
[1:29:29] So I just wanted to share that it's with us very important.
[1:29:33] And we are going to continue to get from my understanding
[1:29:37] half of the inter-library loan career program paid for by the state.
[1:29:42] and not calling it a grant now, they're calling it a program.
[1:29:47] And so I don't know if we'll get a check anymore,
[1:29:50] or if they'll just send it to the courier.
[1:29:54] So it ends up costing us every week about $12 for your library.
[1:30:01] We go to post office, we pay five dollars a book to mail it. And there are some weeks, like last week, we had 50 items in these bins at burnets too.
[1:30:11] And so we think we're only paying like $1.15 a week for all of us, so it's the way to go.
[1:30:19] So it's looking promising for all of that.
[1:30:24] Okay? That's why I thought, why did you share good news?
[1:30:27] Don't want anything.
[1:30:29] We appreciate that.
[1:30:31] We appreciate how you do it right now.
[1:30:34] Thank you.
[1:30:34] We can't do it without you.
[1:30:36] We can't.
[1:30:37] We can't appreciate it.
[1:30:38] It's good.
[1:30:40] It's some day.
[1:30:41] You know, a little more space in front of you.
[1:30:44] That green space would be wonderful.
[1:30:46] Make us look so vital.
[1:30:48] But we get it.
[1:30:51] Thank you guys very much.
[1:30:52] Thank you.
[1:30:53] Thank you.
[1:31:32] Thank you.
[1:31:33] I heard that the nurse said he's here talking to me and space from the bathroom to you.
[1:31:40] Can you hear us, Courtney?
[1:31:43] Yes.
[1:31:43] Can you hear me?
[1:31:44] We can.
[1:31:46] Thank you.
[1:31:47] Thank you for joining us.
[1:31:59] So we got a dog issue
[1:32:02] Yeah.
[1:32:03] We do.
[1:32:05] I didn't have a chance to print up those things, Courtney.
[1:32:07] So if you could give them an overview.
[1:32:10] Yeah, having two.
[1:32:12] So, Raymond Bowman is a resident of Inisburg.
[1:32:16] He has a dog named Patio.
[1:32:20] Patio has been involved in, in back in the family.
[1:32:27] Give you a good details here.
[1:32:29] Back in March, he was involved with another dog
[1:32:32] and running the sink-lines and chickens.
[1:32:35] And then, since then, has had multiple situations where he's fed over at the old Brookside
[1:32:42] Kevcr, I think it's called Back Country, Kim Grown Now, and can you hold on just a second, Courtney?
[1:32:50] Yeah.
[1:32:50] I think
[1:32:56] maybe we should.
[1:33:00] I think we're going to go on executive for this, Courtney.
[1:33:04] I'm sorry about that.
[1:33:05] Okay.
[1:33:06] That's okay.
[1:33:07] I hope that we go to executive session.
[1:33:15] I'll sign a map.
[1:33:17] No, no.
[1:33:19] No, no.
[1:33:19] Can you sign this?
[1:33:20] Thanks for the paper.
[1:33:23] Do it.
[1:33:26] All right.
[1:33:26] It's been moved in a second and to go into executive session for
[1:33:32] these issues.
[1:33:34] Any further discussion on it?
[1:33:37] If not knowledge in favor, aye?
[1:33:38] All right. And you pose.
[1:33:41] Nane.
[1:33:43] We're going to be a bit of so we'll be in executive.
[1:34:12] Are you sure is over here a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit?
[1:34:14] So it's been easier to talk to somebody's face than the back of the team.
[1:34:19] Are you here with Courtney?
[1:34:21] Yes.
[1:34:22] Yes, can you hear me?
[1:34:23] We can.
[1:34:24] Thank you.
[1:34:25] Yes, thank you.
[1:34:26] Thank you for joining us.
[1:34:30] Yeah.
[1:34:31] Yeah.
[1:34:31] Go.
