[8:01] i I had one brief question about it just
in relationship to postage and how
[9:34] postage was calculated for that I don't
know for postcards but I was just
[9:59] concerned based off of the recent
mailing of the survey that we did
[10:08] and then if you were going to try and
send it out as bulk mail or Direct Mail
[10:24] we could but it'll just take more work
if you want to do it quicker and easier
[10:28] I think sending it to specific addresses
since specific okay great great I'm glad
[10:38] to hear that I just just wanted to make
sure on that aspect yes absolutely and
[11:14] actually I already started doing a
little bit of work on the labels today
[11:19] because there was a few changes that we
needed to make to the mailing list
[11:24] labels based off of the broadband survey
so Lisa and I were working on that
[11:31] earlier today it's not complete but in
anticipation that the Select board would
[11:36] approve doing this I already sorted
[12:04] we'll have to under go ahead yes it is
yes so this could come out of a couple
[12:43] of different funds that could come out
of communications it can come out of
[12:46] postage and as Richard noted we could
also put it if we applied it to the
[12:54] Emergency Management Fund and kept track
of it when I give a brief update as the
[13:01] e/m deals in a few moments after you've
finished your discussion
[13:06] FEMA has declared a state of emergency
for all 50 states and there will
[13:12] eventually be some reimbursement from
them but we need to keep track of
[13:16] expenses they have not clarified yet
blood expenses would qualify for that so
[13:23] I think if we listed it under emergency
management and at least gives us the
[13:27] opportunity for potential reimbursement
but not guaranteed so I would support
[13:34] Richards idea on that just say who you
are so the audience thank you Michael
[14:08] [Music]
[14:41] [Music]
[14:47] [Music]
[14:52] we have an emergency management it will
come from them where's it a couple of
[15:03] budget lines under emergency management
it doesn't need to come specifically
[15:06] from AMD

[16:00] [Music]
[16:29] [Music]
[17:06] [Music]
[17:12] sure I was just going to give a brief
update from the EMD call last Friday
[17:21] obviously the situation has changed
since last Friday as of this afternoon
[17:27] Vermont is up to 75 cases confirmed
cases we now have five deaths as well
[17:39] the Health Department has been sending
out supplies to first responders and
[17:47] hospitals and other medical
professionals but they until they
[17:52] receive more supplies from the federal
government they will unfortunately be
[17:57] doing any more of that there are five in
Windham County but we don't know where
[18:08] in Windham County they cannot disclose
that because of privacy reasons so for
[18:16] those who don't know
all non-essential medical procedures
[18:19] have been cancelled the DMV has been
closed all car registration renewals and
[18:26] drivers ice
renewals have been extended by a minimum
[18:29] of 90 days the governor has also now
reduced all public gatherings to no more
[18:37] than ten people the as far as a law
enforcement perspective the state is
[18:44] really expecting that we're going to see
99% compliance with with the governor's
[18:50] orders and thus far it's overall been
very peaceful and compliance throughout
[18:55] the state so that's really excellent as
mentioned a few moments ago FEMA has
[19:02] declared a state of emergency for all 50
states so that means that they are going
[19:08] to slowly begin the process of setting
up the parameters for what we can
[19:13] request for reimbursement and so as we
learn what that is I'll be tracking that
[19:19] and have been keeping the detailed track
of our expenses thus far one thing that
[19:29] the state did encourage towns to do is
to review any mutual aid agreements that
[19:35] we have so in our circumstance that
would be our highway department
[19:41] reviewing mutual aid agreements with our
neighboring towns and I've already been
[19:47] speaking with Danny about this and at
the moment the lct has notified us that
[19:55] they are still trying to negotiate with
the state legislature and secretary of
[20:00] state to change temporarily change open
meeting law and have made no headway on
[20:07] us so unfortunately for the time being
we must continue to abide by open
[20:13] meeting law as it stands currently and
there's lots and lots last but not least
[20:20] is there's lots and lots of false rumors
going on about you know everything from
[20:28] national quarantine to martial law to
the military enforcement all of these
[20:33] are absolutely false
[20:37] and yeah so just be conscious of where
you're getting your news from and
[20:41] remember to keep watching your hands oh
one last point of note is the state EEOC
[20:49] or Emergency Operations Center is now as
of last Thursday been fully activated
[20:55] albeit with limited staff they have
approximately ten staff working out of
[21:01] 80 and they do not recommend towns
activate you see at this time it's they
[21:08] do not feel that we have a level of
emergency in Vermont yet that that is
[21:13] warranted on a local level that's all I
have yes yep so I have sent out a draft
[21:39] of the updated local emergency
management plan to all of the select
[21:45] board members the fire chief as well as
to Windham regional thus far I've gotten
[21:53] some it's overall very positive feedback
I've gotten a couple amendments from
[22:00] Jared and I got about five changes that
need to be made from Windham regional
[22:06] but overall it's a positive response and
I think we should be able to adopt it at
[22:12] the next select board meeting
[22:34] no that should still sub for the 10
administrator and the EMD it should
[22:43] still remain at $5,000 unless the Select
board wishes to change that and then for
[22:48] the road Foreman it's at $10,000 you are
correct yes Richard III at this time I
[23:36] don't see any reason to change it and in
feedback from Windham Regional is that's
[23:41] a reasonable amount for you know a town
like us I can work on getting it
[23:56] finished this week yep as you and I
discussed earlier today Richard I'll
[24:34] make my priority to give those two items
finished this week
[24:40] should we have a binder like here at the
town with the procedure in it so
[24:45] somebody could access it if they wanted
to definitely yeah so I as I said it
[25:04] might might an email sharing that with
all of you that there are couple
[25:08] addendums to that document that
automatically will populate those fields
[25:16] so that's I just wanted to get the draft
document to everyone and you know
[25:26] acknowledge that the addendums need to
be completed but I wanted to get started
[25:30] getting feedback so we as Richard note
as we can get this done as quickly as
[25:34] possible that is the goal

[27:10] yeah yep appreciate concern just trying
to balance priorities here with all of
[27:18] these various things and the the website
as much as it's helpful hasn't been at
[27:25] the top at the moment we don't have
anyone else in the office who's been
[27:43] trained has to do so yet that's that's
one of the just cuz they that was one of
[27:51] the the tasks that was included in the
administrative assistant job description
[27:58] that we you folks approved earlier this
winter and in we had where you had
[28:05] agreed to delay that appointment process
until the beginning of the fiscal year
[28:25] that's completely up to you
[28:30] [Music]
[28:35] yeah exactly
[29:21] there's a black computer space for them

informally agree to to do so I don't
[32:15] think you need to have an official
motion for that I think Michael was
[32:19] gonna say something Richard okay if I
hear the information I will definitely
[32:38] share with you yeah this time you the
slight board can't take any action at
[33:16] this time because you have to follow a
certain ceaseless sequence of as Ennis
[33:21] so Michelle frizzy is currently working
with Sara and Steve Lemke is and
[33:28] Michelle have both been in communication
with John Bennett at Windham Regional
[33:33] and they're trying to make
yes correct yes now I appreciate the
[33:49] question and they are currently working
on it the legislature I believe is going
[33:54] back this week and so I think Sarah
hopes to be able to address it
[34:07] [Music]
