00:04:31,529 [Music] 18 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,319 [Music] 19 00:04:45,970 --> 00:04:48,970 No 20 00:04:56,510 --> 00:05:05,550 [Music] 21 00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:10,839 [Music] 22 00:05:21,050 -->

postage and how 31 00:09:34,130 --> 00:10:04,670 postage was calculated for that I don't know for postcards but I was just 32 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:10,940 concerned based off of the recent mailing of the survey that we did 33 00:10:08,180 --> 00:10:15,580 and then if you were going to try and send it out as bulk mail or Direct Mail 34 00:10:24,940 --> 00:10:32,360 we could but it'll just take more work if you want to do it quicker and easier 35 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:39,500 I think sending it to specific addresses since specific okay great great I'm glad 36 00:10:38,270 --> 00:11:16,940 to hear that I just just wanted to make sure on that aspect yes absolutely and 37 00:11:14,270 --> 00:11:21,320 actually I already started doing a little bit of work on the labels today 38 00:11:19,580 --> 00:11:28,730 because there was a few changes that we needed to make to the mailing list 39 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:34,640 labels based off of the broadband survey so Lisa and I were working on that 40 00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:40,480 earlier today it's not complete but in anticipation that the Select board would 41 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:40,480 approve doing this I already sorted 42 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:44,710 we'll have to under go ahead yes it is yes so this could come out of a couple 43 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:49,510 of different funds that could come out of communications it can come out of 44 00:12:46,780 --> 00:12:57,640 postage and as Richard noted we could also put it if we applied it to the 45 00:12:54,400 --> 00:13:04,360 Emergency Management Fund and kept track of it when I give a brief update as the 46 00:13:01,390 --> 00:13:09,550 e/m deals in a few moments after you've finished your discussion 47 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:15,160 FEMA has declared a state of emergency for all 50 states and there will 48 00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:20,200 eventually be some reimbursement from them but we need to keep track of 49 00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:25,570 expenses they have not clarified yet blood expenses would qualify for that so 50 00:13:23,140 --> 00:13:29,530 I think if we listed it under emergency management and at least gives us the 51 00:13:27,640 --> 00:14:03,460 opportunity for potential reimbursement but not guaranteed so I would support 52 00:13:34,000 --> 00:14:08,460 Richards idea on that just say who you are so the audience thank you Michael 53 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,760 [Music] 54 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,770 [Music] 55 00:14:47,460 --> 00:14:50,659 [Music] 56 00:14:52,740 --> 00:15:05,260 we have an emergency management it will come from them where's it a couple of 57 00:15:03,490 --> 00:15:09,150 budget lines under emergency management it doesn't need to come specifically 58 00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:09,150 from AMD 59 00:15:20,620 --> 00:15:23,720 [Music] 60 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,039 [Music] 61 00:15:45,770 --> 00:15:48,830 [Music] 62 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,650 [Music] 63 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,990 [Music] 64 00:17:06,589 --> 00:17:09,639 [Music] 65 00:17:12,460 --> 00:17:23,000 sure I was just going to give a brief update from the EMD call last Friday 66 00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:32,420 obviously the situation has changed since last Friday as of this afternoon 67 00:17:27,730 --> 00:17:42,350 Vermont is up to 75 cases confirmed cases we now have five deaths as well 68 00:17:39,370 --> 00:17:49,790 the Health Department has been sending out supplies to first responders and 69 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:56,000 hospitals and other medical professionals but they until they 70 00:17:52,910 --> 00:18:06,470 receive more supplies from the federal government they will unfortunately be 71 00:17:57,650 --> 00:18:10,610 doing any more of that there are five in Windham County but we don't know where 72 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:17,210 in Windham County they cannot disclose that because of privacy reasons so for 73 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,990 those who don't know all non-essential medical procedures 74 00:18:19,070 --> 00:18:27,070 have been cancelled the DMV has been closed all car registration renewals and 75 00:18:26,510 --> 00:18:34,840 drivers ice renewals have been extended by a minimum 76 00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:42,340 of 90 days the governor has also now reduced all public gatherings to no more 77 00:18:37,389 --> 00:18:47,460 than ten people the as far as a law enforcement perspective the state is 78 00:18:44,919 --> 00:18:53,950 really expecting that we're going to see 99% compliance with with the governor's 79 00:18:50,110 --> 00:18:59,429 orders and thus far it's overall been very peaceful and compliance throughout 80 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:05,649 the state so that's really excellent as mentioned a few moments ago FEMA has 81 00:19:02,139 --> 00:19:11,139 declared a state of emergency for all 50 states so that means that they are going 82 00:19:08,470 --> 00:19:17,049 to slowly begin the process of setting up the parameters for what we can 83 00:19:13,629 --> 00:19:23,980 request for reimbursement and so as we learn what that is I'll be tracking that 84 00:19:19,090 --> 00:19:31,929 and have been keeping the detailed track of our expenses thus far one thing that 85 00:19:29,529 --> 00:19:38,980 the state did encourage towns to do is to review any mutual aid agreements that 86 00:19:35,139 --> 00:19:44,409 we have so in our circumstance that would be our highway department 87 00:19:41,820 --> 00:19:52,750 reviewing mutual aid agreements with our neighboring towns and I've already been 88 00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:58,570 speaking with Danny about this and at the moment the lct has notified us that 89 00:19:55,690 --> 00:20:04,539 they are still trying to negotiate with the state legislature and secretary of 90 00:20:00,370 --> 00:20:10,120 state to change temporarily change open meeting law and have made no headway on 91 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:17,220 us so unfortunately for the time being we must continue to abide by open 92 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:23,490 meeting law as it stands currently and there's lots and lots last but not least 93 00:20:20,649 --> 00:20:31,659 is there's lots and lots of false rumors going on about you know everything from 94 00:20:28,629 --> 00:20:37,230 national quarantine to martial law to the military enforcement all of these 95 00:20:33,580 --> 00:20:37,230 are absolutely false 96 00:20:37,470 --> 00:20:46,380 and yeah so just be conscious of where you're getting your news from and 97 00:20:41,670 --> 00:20:53,130 remember to keep watching your hands oh one last point of note is the state EEOC 98 00:20:49,650 --> 00:20:58,680 or Emergency Operations Center is now as of last Thursday been fully activated 99 00:20:55,820 --> 00:21:05,960 albeit with limited staff they have approximately ten staff working out of 100 00:21:01,620 --> 00:21:11,760 80 and they do not recommend towns activate you see at this time it's they 101 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:16,920 do not feel that we have a level of emergency in Vermont yet that that is 102 00:21:13,620 --> 00:21:42,840 warranted on a local level that's all I have yes yep so I have sent out a draft 103 00:21:39,450 --> 00:21:50,400 of the updated local emergency management plan to all of the select 104 00:21:45,540 --> 00:21:57,710 board members the fire chief as well as to Windham regional thus far I've gotten 105 00:21:53,220 --> 00:22:04,800 some it's overall very positive feedback I've gotten a couple amendments from 106 00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:09,210 Jared and I got about five changes that need to be made from Windham regional 107 00:22:06,690 --> 00:22:16,250 but overall it's a positive response and I think we should be able to adopt it at 108 00:22:12,420 --> 00:22:16,250 the next select board meeting 109 00:22:34,830 --> 00:22:45,630 no that should still sub for the 10 administrator and the EMD it should 110 00:22:43,050 --> 00:23:28,620 still remain at $5,000 unless the Select board wishes to change that and then for 111 00:22:48,000 --> 00:23:38,370 the road Foreman it's at $10,000 you are correct yes Richard III at this time I 112 00:23:36,570 --> 00:23:45,090 don't see any reason to change it and in feedback from Windham Regional is that's 113 00:23:41,460 --> 00:24:31,440 a reasonable amount for you know a town like us I can work on getting it 114 00:23:56,430 --> 00:24:36,510 finished this week yep as you and I discussed earlier today Richard I'll 115 00:24:34,010 --> 00:24:39,410 make my priority to give those two items finished this week 116 00:24:40,460 --> 00:24:46,770 should we have a binder like here at the town with the procedure in it so 117 00:24:45,090 --> 00:25:06,059 somebody could access it if they wanted to definitely yeah so I as I said it 118 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:11,190 might might an email sharing that with all of you that there are couple 119 00:25:08,490 --> 00:25:15,530 addendums to that document that automatically will populate those fields 120 00:25:16,970 --> 00:25:28,169 so that's I just wanted to get the draft document to everyone and you know 121 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:32,640 acknowledge that the addendums need to be completed but I wanted to get started 122 00:25:30,809 --> 00:25:39,860 getting feedback so we as Richard note as we can get this done as quickly as 123 00:25:34,020 --> 00:25:39,860 possible that is the goal 124 00:26:04,950 --> 00:26:08,069
