1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:29,960
Mike Shay from M.J. and M. Shay, a realty venture. The purpose of the petition is to ask the town to do the taking of the land in advance of the normal town practice, which would be a town meeting. The major reason for that is in order for us to proceed or for a partner of key housing authority to proceed. They actually, we need to be able to demonstrate to them that they have access to the parts of the property to apply for grant funding without being able

2
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,760
We'll apply for grant funding this year.

3
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,680
It's going to delay the project for at least another year.

4
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,040
So we have filed the petition.

5
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:40,280
I think the first step in that petition was

6
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,780
to demonstrate that there was a tape location,

7
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,020
which means that the public need of public interest

8
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:48,520
and I believe the select board did identify that

9
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,960
and moved on to the public hearing and required site visit.

10
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,020
And we would hopefully ask you to consider

11
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:04,860
and I believe following the laid out for us the next thing would be the assessment of

12
00:01:04,860 --> 00:01:10,700
the damages, the lay of all damages, and then there is a vital return of the highway

13
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:11,980
layout of the process.

14
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:14,020
Thanks for that.

15
00:01:14,420 --> 00:01:21,960
We've been sharing with you both brilliantly, and I'm happy to answer any questions with anybody

16
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:28,780
for that sort of job. Any questions from the audience for the petitioner?

17
00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:32,110
Is there anybody

18
00:01:32,110 --> 00:01:35,670
here that's opposed to the road?

19
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,220
Okay. No questions?

20
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,820
Well, since this is a public hearing

21
00:01:52,820 --> 00:02:01,160
and the questions seem to be answered, or at least not in jeopardy of getting, not having

22
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:10,220
in the road. I would like, at this point, to talk for a moment with Andy. Andy, do you

23
00:02:10,220 --> 00:02:18,080
have any issues? I have no issues. I'd like to make a comment that, in my opinion, looks

24
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,700
to be very professionally done. I believe it'd be a nice addition to the town of Jeffrey.

25
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:29,780
Okay, thank you. In this case, I would normally ask Frank to speak, but Frank has recused

26
00:02:29,780 --> 00:02:35,220
themself because of his relationship with MJ and MJ. So it's basically going to be

27
00:02:35,220 --> 00:02:41,900
Andy and I make a decision. I have, again, I'll mention that I did speak with the Director

28
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:46,960
of Public Works this afternoon. He was thoroughly pleased with the road. I think Mike did a great

29
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:54,080
job in MJ and MJ and MJ getting it in under the window so we can continue with this process.

30
00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:01,920
I think at this point, I don't have any reason to delay this as far as a vote.

31
00:03:02,340 --> 00:03:04,320
Andy, would you take it from there?

32
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:09,120
I'd like to make a motion, Mr. Chairman, to grant the petition, to lay out

33
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,600
Melville Circle, and make an amendment to the development agreement.

34
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:16,000
Okay, I'll second that.

35
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,860
So I would say, say aye.

36
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:18,260
Aye.

37
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:20,500
Okay.

38
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,540
I'm recued.

39
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,400
Yep.

40
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:25,580
Thank you.

41
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,140
Anything else for MJ and MJ?

42
00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:29,120
All right.

43
00:03:29,340 --> 00:03:31,940
So that's section of this portion of this.

44
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:33,800
Thank

45
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:36,840
you all.

46
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:37,440
Thank you.

47
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:38,160
Thank you.

48
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,100
Thank you.

49
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:48,580
I'm going to have the first one.

50
00:03:48,860 --> 00:03:49,180
Thank you.

51
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:51,480
Thank you.

52
00:03:56,870 --> 00:03:57,350
Okay.

53
00:03:57,630 --> 00:03:58,050
Moving along.

54
00:03:58,650 --> 00:03:59,770
This is, uh,

55
00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:06,360
okay.

56
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,480
So this

57
00:04:11,730 --> 00:04:16,990
is the first public hearing for the Community Development Block Grant application.

58
00:04:18,010 --> 00:04:24,170
I open this public hearing to address the proposed community development block grant application.

59
00:04:25,230 --> 00:04:31,090
Okay. Notice the public hearing, Town of Jaffrey Community Development Block Grant application.

60
00:04:31,290 --> 00:04:35,710
The Town of Jaffrey Select Board will hold three consecutive readings.

61
00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:43,070
public hearings on Wednesday, August 19th, 2026 at 6 p.m. at the Jaffrey Town Hall in

62
00:04:43,070 --> 00:04:44,930
the Bay of the 28 Main Street Jaffrey.

63
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,820
To hear public comments on the Community Development

64
00:04:49,820 --> 00:04:56,760
Block Grant CDBG Economic Development Grant Application Proposal to the New Hampshire Community

65
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:05,500
Development Finance Authority, CDFA. CDBG funding is available annually for activities that

66
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:11,960
It directly benefit low and moderate income persons in the following grant categories and amounts.

67
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:20,460
Up to 750,000 for housing and public facilities, 500,000 for economic development and

68
00:05:20,460 --> 00:05:27,940
a million for micro enterprise development and 25,000 for feasibility studies.

69
00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:31,760
This proposal to be heard includes,

70
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:38,500
I propose the economic development grant for $500,000 in CDBG funds.

71
00:05:39,060 --> 00:05:45,820
A portion of the funds will be sub-planted to Menadmak Economic Development Corporation

72
00:05:45,820 --> 00:05:53,840
to be loaned to Menadmak Food Cooper, to purchase equipment, to outfit and renovate former

73
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:57,240
right aid building at 12 P.D. Barrow Road in Jeffrey.

74
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:06,780
Item 2, review and read adoption of the town of Jeffrey's housing and community development

75
00:06:06,780 --> 00:06:07,200
plan.

76
00:06:07,460 --> 00:06:16,660
And 3, review and adoption of the town of Jeffrey's residential, anti-displacement and relocation

77
00:06:16,660 --> 00:06:17,060
plan.

78
00:06:18,820 --> 00:06:23,960
I would recognize Jack or Herne of the Southwest Regional Planning Commission to address

79
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:31,000
the grant to process, thank you very much, my name is Jack, I'm a planner and grant specialist

80
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,160
with South Lake Regional Commission. As is required for these hearings, I'll be

81
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:42,620
providing a report review of the Community Development Walk and program, and then

82
00:06:42,620 --> 00:06:49,720
provided this with the application. CMEBG funds are available to municipalities and

83
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,240
counties on its competitive basis with projects

84
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,280
that come early on the fifth level of modern

85
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:55,280
and conversions.

86
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,560
The time of Jeffrey's eligible to receive up to $750,000

87
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,600
in CDBD funds 30 years in public facilities

88
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,440
and housing grants, $500,000 in economic development

89
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,300
grants, and $1 million in micro-hundred-pipes

90
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:10,720
technical assistance.

91
00:07:11,460 --> 00:07:13,380
These brilliant planning study funds are available

92
00:07:13,380 --> 00:07:15,360
for $25,000 in a row.

93
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:23,120
I have provided handouts describing the name for community development block grant program

94
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,800
and eligible activities and funding amounts in the cut area income limits.

95
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:36,820
And then I provided you is the Hillsborough County income limits, including the Cheshire County

96
00:07:36,820 --> 00:07:37,380
income limits.

97
00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:40,460
It should be full, as for this specific project,

98
00:07:41,140 --> 00:07:44,240
we're anticipating beneficiaries to come from

99
00:07:44,980 --> 00:07:47,820
likely, all I have is Hillsborough County.

100
00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:49,420
All I have is Hillsborough County.

101
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,240
Yeah, I missed the Chester County income limits.

102
00:07:53,180 --> 00:07:55,000
I didn't send those after this meeting,

103
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,420
or those two, they are slightly lower than Hillsborough County.

104
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,040
Yeah, it's considerably lower.

105
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,300
Yeah, but employees, people of beneficiaries from Hillsborough

106
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:08,660
the federal county will be held to those first-year vice-versa-president county.

107
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:16,040
The proposed application to the community development finance authority is for $5,000,000 economic

108
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,260
development funds.

109
00:08:17,820 --> 00:08:23,700
If awarded the funds will be sub-branded by administrative costs to the banana economic

110
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:29,420
development corporation, and you can see, MEDC will go and see the EDG funds to the banana

111
00:08:29,420 --> 00:08:31,740
Now, we try to assist the processing equipment

112
00:08:31,740 --> 00:08:34,420
to help the new store location in the renovated

113
00:08:34,420 --> 00:08:37,860
from the venue building at 12th anniversary of JAPRES.

114
00:08:38,660 --> 00:08:41,560
The co-op intends to create up to 25 new jobs

115
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:45,100
as a result of the project of which at least 60%.

116
00:08:45,580 --> 00:08:48,600
If you feel like there was no modern account slots,

117
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,400
I provided in the Australian project.

118
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,780
And I usually represent it as for the Banana Economic Development

119
00:08:57,580 --> 00:09:05,060
I'm going to go up to additional details on the proposed project and I'm going to go up to the point where it's going

120
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:21,720
to work with the town and work with the planning commission to help us give this project and bring these much need of funds to the community.

121
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:28,620
So getting to this project has been multiple conversations many years in the making as

122
00:09:28,620 --> 00:09:31,580
Joanne can test it as John can test it as well.

123
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:38,020
We've been working with the co-op for a few years to try to identify a site and also concurrently

124
00:09:38,020 --> 00:09:40,720
working with the town on trying to bring them to Jeffrey.

125
00:09:41,180 --> 00:09:48,940
So this is kind of a culmination of a result of many years of hard work to try to get to this

126
00:09:48,940 --> 00:09:49,220
point.

127
00:09:49,220 --> 00:09:53,560
So, we've been working with them and with the town to help them put together a funding

128
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:56,280
stack in order to acquire and retrofit the building.

129
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:03,320
So, these CDBG funds are part of that funding stack and Menadakekenocht development.

130
00:10:03,740 --> 00:10:08,640
In this instance, it's playing a role that has traditionally played more often with the

131
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,880
CDU key, but with other municipalities throughout the region in accessing these federal funds

132
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,320
where we act as an intermediary and as a lender.

133
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:29,200
So we are able to get these funds in, lend them to the co-op, and which are then paid back to us, and then we are able to relend them to other projects throughout the region in perpetuity.

134
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:38,200
a recent example of using report funds to help open a business, and I mean I'd knock in a couple

135
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:45,740
of years ago we worked with them a couple of years ago to renovate, acquire, and revitalize

136
00:10:45,740 --> 00:10:46,020
actually.

137
00:10:46,460 --> 00:10:53,700
So this is a role in the food co-op we worked with on both of their expansions at Keen over the

138
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:56,460
So we're excited to work with them and excited to work with the town.

139
00:11:08,190 --> 00:11:08,730
I

140
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:11,900
got a question.

141
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,860
Is that enough money?

142
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,020
It's 500,000 enough.

143
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,920
So, so the 500,000 is part of

144
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,680
it's isolated to just the equipment purchase.

145
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:31,580
So now we'll go towards that refrigeration unit and things like that to outfit.

146
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,320
And due to federal regulations that we found

147
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:42,360
was the best place to isolate these funds in the project just so it doesn't trigger other

148
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:47,080
federal requirements that would make acquiring and renovating the property more expensive.

149
00:11:48,180 --> 00:11:53,880
So the part that it plays overall is going to be small if you're looking at it globally.

150
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:59,080
But the part that it plays within these specific equipment purchases is very important.

151
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:09,520
So, it will play a small part in the equity piece for it, and we're also working with other banks and other finance institutions to put together the full funding stack.

152
00:12:09,780 --> 00:12:17,380
So, we're anticipating there being several different, maybe four or five or six different funding sources that can go into this altogether.

153
00:12:17,980 --> 00:12:24,420
But that's something that's generally standard with acquisition, renovations, and retrofits like this.

154
00:12:24,420 --> 00:12:26,540
Thank you.

155
00:12:26,540 --> 00:12:30,340
Is there anything any comments from the public?

156
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,000
Any comments from the staff?

157
00:12:48,460 --> 00:12:49,320
Find a board?

158
00:12:50,740 --> 00:12:51,420
No manager?

159
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:53,120
Is he?

160
00:12:54,340 --> 00:12:55,160
No thank you.

161
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:09,880
Well I don't have any, since there is no other public input,

162
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,040
I would like to have a motion to

163
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,020
I need to close the public here.

164
00:13:22,060 --> 00:13:26,700
In this case, since there is no public input, I will close the public here.

165
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:34,060
And now ask for a motion for the application.

166
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:35,200
Mr.

167
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:58,940
Chairman, I would like to make a motion to move, to approve the seminal of the application,

168
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,460
vote authorized, John Frederick.

169
00:14:01,460 --> 00:14:10,860
does the authorize designee to sign and submit the CDBG application and a part

170
00:14:10,860 --> 00:14:18,140
approval of the CDBG application authorize the authorize designee to

171
00:14:18,140 --> 00:14:25,540
execute any document which may be necessary to evacuate the CDBG

172
00:14:25,540 --> 00:14:28,640
Contra. Can you repeat that?

173
00:14:32,630 --> 00:14:38,210
Second. Okay, I have a motion and I have a second. All

174
00:14:38,210 --> 00:14:41,270
in favor say aye. Aye.

175
00:14:43,660 --> 00:14:44,320
It's one down.

176
00:14:55,860 --> 00:14:59,700
All right, so the second public hearing is now

177
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:24,940
And that is residential anti-displacement and local location plan. I know up in the second public hearing in the discussion of the residential anti-displacement and relocation assistance plan. I recognize Jack or her to address the residential anti-displacement and relocation assistance plan. Thank you.

178
00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:31,240
So if any displacement occurs as a result of the proposal to see the meeting of the project,

179
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,480
the Uniform Relocation Act must be followed, which requires that new displaced households

180
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:42,800
for businesses in the project, using federal funds must be found comparable housing and commercial

181
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:49,260
space, and comparable neighborhood as compared to Christ, under the certification section of the application

182
00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:53,560
the time to certify that the right-of-the-matured and the predisposition of the education assistance

183
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,640
plan is in place and then we've done that it has discovered that this specific project

184
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:04,660
does this for its persons, households, and businesses in displacement implementation plan must be

185
00:16:04,660 --> 00:16:12,320
submitted to CDF8 in order to be willing for extended funds. This plan is not anticipated or at all likely

186
00:16:22,250 --> 00:16:28,130
Okay, so the floor is now open for public discussion, we're hearing anything from the public.

187
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,520
Hearing nothing, okay.

188
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,240
Anything from the staff or the selectman?

189
00:16:45,420 --> 00:16:46,960
That's very quiet in here.

190
00:16:50,420 --> 00:16:53,860
Okay, at this point, since there's no input, I'll close the public hearing.

191
00:16:56,060 --> 00:16:58,520
And ask for a motion.

192
00:17:00,220 --> 00:17:05,960
Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion that we adopt the kind of Japanese residential

193
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,860
antique displacement and relocation plan as red.

194
00:17:11,580 --> 00:17:17,040
Okay, I have a motion and I have a second and all in favor say aye.

195
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:17,640
Aye.

196
00:17:19,340 --> 00:17:19,880
Thank you.

197
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,440
We're

198
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,800
going to open another public hearing.

199
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,920
This is the 3rd and the evening,

200
00:17:37,610 --> 00:17:42,390
and I recognize Jack or her in the housing and community development plan.

201
00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:53,370
So the housing and community development plan, what we see here is a doctor designed to guide the abuse of CDMG funds for a municipality.

202
00:17:53,370 --> 00:18:01,870
The Jaquers Select Board last adopted its HCDP in 2019 as part of the storm spring swallowing

203
00:18:01,870 --> 00:18:03,470
treatment facility project.

204
00:18:05,370 --> 00:18:10,290
It is required to be reviewed and adopted in a minimum of every three years to qualify

205
00:18:10,290 --> 00:18:11,910
for seal-making funding.

206
00:18:12,670 --> 00:18:17,450
The plan is developed directly from the town's master plan goals, has been updated to reflect

207
00:18:17,450 --> 00:18:24,410
the current goals of the master plan they should see D.P. need to be re-adopted for this application.

208
00:18:25,330 --> 00:18:30,990
This proposed project conforms to the following goals in town's housing and community development

209
00:18:30,990 --> 00:18:39,190
and of using available space for relooking businesses to Jeffrey and to provide a downtown

210
00:18:47,210 --> 00:18:49,630
Is there any input from the public?

211
00:18:52,790 --> 00:18:58,450
Is there any input from the select board or officers or I have none?

212
00:18:59,450 --> 00:18:59,930
Okay.

213
00:19:00,310 --> 00:19:01,310
This is getting simple.

214
00:19:03,910 --> 00:19:05,790
You're not the guy making a lot of things.

215
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,400
Okay, since there is no comment from the public, I'm going to close the public here now.

216
00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:15,600
And I'd like to make a comment though.

217
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:21,920
This is on my personal personal side of this thing. I think this is the greatest thing that could ever happen to Jeffrey

218
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:28,260
So I hope I wish all the best of luck, and I'm looking forward to buying my first bundle of groceries

219
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,180
At this point any could I have a motion, please?

220
00:19:34,220 --> 00:19:40,560
I'd like to make a motion that we re-adopt the time Jeffrey's housing and community development

221
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:47,320
I have a motion and seconded, all the day to say hi, at

222
00:19:54,810 --> 00:20:02,270
this point I think the public hearing is closed, if anybody want to stay for the rest of the meeting, you're welcome to.

223
00:20:06,690 --> 00:20:09,670
Thanks for explaining everything, I appreciate it.

224
00:20:10,350 --> 00:20:10,870
Thank you

225
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,700
everyone.

226
00:20:28,820 --> 00:20:30,060
Let's see, have a good night.

227
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,600
Thank you very much.

228
00:20:48,290 --> 00:20:48,930
Pointless.

229
00:20:52,850 --> 00:20:54,170
We have appointments.

230
00:21:00,420 --> 00:21:03,260
Who is speaking for Sandy Cook?

231
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:05,700
No, Gilmore Pond.

232
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,180
No, Gilmore Pond Association.

233
00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:07,940
Hi.

234
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:10,780
Now, would you introduce yourself?

235
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:11,540
Sorry.

236
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,360
Can we just stand up and talk?

237
00:21:15,140 --> 00:21:15,220
Sure.

238
00:21:16,260 --> 00:21:18,820
My name is Michael Victor.

239
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,860
And I'm a board member of Gilmore Pond Association.

240
00:21:21,860 --> 00:21:35,000
I'm also the volunteer like assessment program volunteer for the pond which monitors the health of the pond. I've been doing this for 32 years on Gilmore pond.

241
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:46,180
And I did provide Judy with an email full of materials that hopefully you've had time to review.

242
00:21:46,180 --> 00:21:52,820
And the idea, what I'm, what the Gilmore Pond Association is asking for the town of

243
00:21:52,820 --> 00:22:03,180
Jeffrey is permission to do remedial stormwater runoff work as it is outlined in the recommendations

244
00:22:03,180 --> 00:22:14,080
from the watershed management plan that was given to you on townland if it so happens

245
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:23,580
to be on talent land. And that mostly would be happening mostly on Sandy Lane. One of the things

246
00:22:23,580 --> 00:22:29,720
that's being recommended is that the slope of the road, that there's paved part of the road that

247
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:36,740
goes down Sandy Lane, be sloped away from the pond into a culvert area. And then there's another

248
00:22:36,740 --> 00:22:42,720
longer stretch about 200 or 300 yards of dirt road that slants up, which is draining

249
00:22:43,340 --> 00:22:49,840
now mostly into the pond area rather than into the drainage area.

250
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:57,000
So the bulk of the work is really going to be happening on Sandy Lane, but there's also

251
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,980
a part on Gilmore Beach on land that is owned by

252
00:23:05,290 --> 00:23:09,230
the Simpsons, that is going to involve

253
00:23:09,950 --> 00:23:16,670
hopefully an infiltration basin in an area that's now a drainage area with a culvert that

254
00:23:16,670 --> 00:23:23,590
goes into Gilmore pond, but it's completely clogged and not really useful as an infiltration

255
00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:32,170
based in right now. So we're asking to do this remedial work, which will be done by Keith

256
00:23:32,170 --> 00:23:40,010
Dupuy from Mountain Shade. He's already given us an estimate for the work. All the work

257
00:23:40,010 --> 00:23:46,270
is going to be done by a combination of grants and money from the Government of Pond Association.

258
00:23:46,270 --> 00:23:53,010
We have a letter from the President of the Gilpat Association pledging the money that

259
00:23:53,010 --> 00:23:56,710
is necessary that is not provided through grants to have this work done.

260
00:23:57,410 --> 00:24:03,230
The total amount for the work that's going to be done including permits and then having

261
00:24:03,230 --> 00:24:09,030
a watershed expert come to determine whether any part of what we're doing is on wetlands

262
00:24:09,030 --> 00:24:18,030
and whether it needs a wet lens permit as well, comes to between $120,000 and $160,000 total.

263
00:24:19,250 --> 00:24:23,850
But we hopefully will get some grant money to help with that.

264
00:24:23,990 --> 00:24:28,270
But the rest of it will be paid for by the Goberpont Association.

265
00:24:31,130 --> 00:24:36,810
So I think what we're trying to do is a very doable goal.

266
00:24:37,630 --> 00:24:48,210
According to what our watershed management plan says, we have to shed about four pounds

267
00:24:48,210 --> 00:24:55,350
of phosphorus in the pond per year in order to get it back to solidly in high water quality

268
00:24:55,350 --> 00:24:57,790
standards, which was called oligotrophic water.

269
00:24:58,490 --> 00:25:04,330
So for the last 20 years, the trend has been going towards poorer water quality.

270
00:25:04,330 --> 00:25:14,010
But if we do this stormwater runoff plan and do an aggressive septic system maintenance plan

271
00:25:14,010 --> 00:25:20,290
from all the landowners, it appears that we will easily meet the goal of trying to get

272
00:25:20,290 --> 00:25:23,570
us back into the kind of water that we used to have.

273
00:25:24,270 --> 00:25:26,730
And we still have, but barely.

274
00:25:26,730 --> 00:25:34,110
And, but we can make this change, if you, you know, you may not know this, but Gilmore

275
00:25:34,110 --> 00:25:38,330
Pond, there's nothing that flows into Gilmore Pond from any other tributaries.

276
00:25:38,490 --> 00:25:40,190
Everything starts at Gilmore Pond.

277
00:25:40,350 --> 00:25:44,930
So we are really in control of whether we can make this work.

278
00:25:44,930 --> 00:25:57,870
And doing this stormwater runoff is basically 76% of the goal that we need to achieve is

279
00:25:57,870 --> 00:25:59,450
by doing this part of it.

280
00:25:59,970 --> 00:26:05,570
And the rest of it will be done through septic system and individual landowners doing the

281
00:26:05,570 --> 00:26:07,530
things that they need to prevent erosion.

282
00:26:08,530 --> 00:26:13,630
So I'm hoping that you will be able to grant us permission to do this work.

283
00:26:13,630 --> 00:26:16,850
It will either be done next year or the year after that.

284
00:26:17,010 --> 00:26:19,530
It all depends on how much money we can get from grants.

285
00:26:20,930 --> 00:26:21,970
Thank you.

286
00:26:22,610 --> 00:26:23,870
You're welcome to answer.

287
00:26:26,750 --> 00:26:32,490
Oh, you also have all the letters from the land owners

288
00:26:32,490 --> 00:26:35,330
that could be involved with the project giving their permission

289
00:26:35,330 --> 00:26:37,070
to have the work done on their land.

290
00:26:37,550 --> 00:26:40,450
As well as the Conservation Committee giving their

291
00:26:40,450 --> 00:26:44,270
a unanimous approval of what we want to do.

292
00:26:44,910 --> 00:26:54,130
There is a letter that they sent requesting that you sign to be sent to, and I'm going

293
00:26:54,130 --> 00:26:57,290
to put you this name, but it's Andrea Vangelich.

294
00:26:57,830 --> 00:26:57,970
Yes.

295
00:26:58,410 --> 00:27:06,710
This is part of the application for the 319 watershed assistant grant, and we're asking for $75,000.

296
00:27:08,030 --> 00:27:18,300
And you see this is a total win for the town of Jaffrey, a plenty of people in town that

297
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:20,300
like to take advantage of the beach.

298
00:27:20,980 --> 00:27:26,280
And we don't brag about the quality of the water and go more climbed and whatever we could

299
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,080
do to help that.

300
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:34,120
And it looks like when we stand it, the more climbed the association is going to foot the bell.

301
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:38,900
I don't just want to agree with the law and do it, I think it's a win through a ton of

302
00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:39,980
jeopardy.

303
00:27:40,060 --> 00:27:41,060
I can't put it.

304
00:27:41,420 --> 00:27:42,020
Same comments.

305
00:27:42,660 --> 00:27:43,320
You can come with you.

306
00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:52,060
I see that in the letter that the talent jaffer sent out to Andrea is pretty much

307
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,240
disclaimering across the town.

308
00:27:55,420 --> 00:28:03,200
If you guys can take it on and do it, yeah I mean we realized that it's not a huge amount

309
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:09,780
of money and to get bogged down to try and to get other sources of funding with all the

310
00:28:09,780 --> 00:28:13,300
strings that are attached with that we decided we'd just rather do it ourselves.

311
00:28:14,980 --> 00:28:16,480
Is there a motion anybody here?

312
00:28:16,500 --> 00:28:22,860
Yes, I would recommend a motion that you approve the work of the Gilmore Bond Association has presented

313
00:28:22,860 --> 00:28:25,400
and execute this letter on their behalf.

314
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:37,660
We

315
00:28:39,970 --> 00:28:43,710
have a motion and seconded, all in favor say aye.

316
00:28:44,790 --> 00:28:45,410
Good luck.

317
00:28:45,910 --> 00:28:46,310
Thank you.

318
00:28:46,310 --> 00:28:46,710
Thank you.

319
00:28:46,790 --> 00:28:48,810
This will be on its way to tomorrow.

320
00:28:49,010 --> 00:28:50,110
Judy will be in touch with you.

321
00:28:50,470 --> 00:28:51,050
Thank you.

322
00:28:51,110 --> 00:28:52,110
I really appreciate it.

323
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:53,270
We're going to have to come.

324
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:54,270
Thank you.

325
00:28:56,830 --> 00:28:57,470
All right.

326
00:28:57,610 --> 00:29:02,630
Next item on the agenda here is a pool of the units.

327
00:29:02,630 --> 00:29:03,250
We

328
00:29:05,810 --> 00:29:09,870
have the July 29th, 2026 minutes,

329
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,660
everybody had a chance to read them and any errors or

330
00:29:15,660 --> 00:29:16,040
omissions.

331
00:29:18,860 --> 00:29:20,560
I see no errors or omissions, right?

332
00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:24,100
Hearing none, did you?

333
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:31,760
Like to make a motion, Mr. Chairman, that we accept the public minutes of July 29th, 2026.

334
00:29:33,540 --> 00:29:34,220
So I have a second.

335
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:45,460
motion and seconded. Now we have the 9 public minutes of July 29th, 2026.

336
00:29:48,130 --> 00:29:49,310
Again, any errors

337
00:29:49,310 --> 00:29:53,050
or emissions or any changes that anybody needs to make to them? I've read them, I didn't

338
00:29:53,050 --> 00:29:59,750
see anything. I see none. Okay, motion. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion. We accept

339
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,880
The non-public minutes of July 29th, 2026, like the vote and the seal.

340
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:15,680
Second, motion made and seconded to accept the non-public minutes of July 29th, 2026. All in favor say aye.

341
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,340
All right. Okay,

342
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:26,200
and we have the public minutes of August 12th 2026.

343
00:30:28,830 --> 00:30:30,650
Again, an opportunity

344
00:30:30,650 --> 00:30:34,990
to read them or any errors or missions. It's you, none.

345
00:30:36,430 --> 00:30:36,710
Okay.

346
00:30:36,710 --> 00:30:43,410
Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion. We accept the public minutes of August 12th,

347
00:30:43,410 --> 00:30:44,670
2026

348
00:30:45,410 --> 00:30:52,730
Second okay emotion made in seconded to accept the minutes of August 12th, 2026 on favor say hi, all right

349
00:30:52,730 --> 00:30:54,930
Almost took you longer to approve that

350
00:30:54,930 --> 00:31:02,250
It was a quick

351
00:31:02,250 --> 00:31:04,070
Okay.

352
00:31:05,490 --> 00:31:08,230
The Senate agenda.

353
00:31:09,210 --> 00:31:13,570
We have the payroll and vendors manifest going around here.

354
00:31:13,850 --> 00:31:15,090
It's not already signed off on.

355
00:31:16,450 --> 00:31:25,890
We have some abatement for number 2026-39 for Dublin Road Realty LLC.

356
00:31:25,890 --> 00:31:38,610
49 double in road for $551.59 for water. The new meter wasn't updated into software and the

357
00:31:38,610 --> 00:31:46,210
reading was estimated because it's to a bait estimated readings and a general bill will

358
00:31:46,210 --> 00:31:55,090
actually with actual readings. And then the next one is 2026-40 clear water pool and spa

359
00:31:55,090 --> 00:32:07,870
of Keane, 233 Menadnak Highway Keane, for $11.36 for water. It was a bill system error.

360
00:32:09,570 --> 00:32:20,800
The KW will generate and send an accurate bill. Item number 2026-41 for Nathan Conner.

361
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:31,800
Ten, Brendan Lane, for $1,602.60 for sewer, you have a hot water heater leak, no water

362
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:38,920
into the sewer system, and there we have a solar exemption for James Coates and Matthew

363
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:46,260
Moore, the 91 Bryant Road, changing ownership with original exceptions granted.

364
00:32:46,260 --> 00:32:54,470
And finally, I think that's the last one, is the Tax Collector's 8th cycle of 2026,

365
00:32:54,470 --> 00:33:04,550
septic collars commitment warrant for $8,095 in 20 cents, and that completes the consent

366
00:33:04,550 --> 00:33:05,170
agenda.

367
00:33:07,730 --> 00:33:08,810
Any comments on that?

368
00:33:09,310 --> 00:33:10,550
Any agenda, everybody?

369
00:33:11,070 --> 00:33:11,230
No.

370
00:33:11,850 --> 00:33:12,030
Okay.

371
00:33:12,170 --> 00:33:12,330
Randy?

372
00:33:14,810 --> 00:33:19,310
Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion, we accept consent, agenda.

373
00:33:19,310 --> 00:33:27,960
end up items one through four as present in a second sorry French I said

374
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:34,360
second okay okay I have a motion and seconded I'll return to say hi hi okay

375
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,000
you took care of the

376
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:46,240
old business which was the building and the

377
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,560
new business anybody have anything they bring before

378
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,980
for the board. Any questions? Any comments?

379
00:33:55,460 --> 00:33:56,240
Also quite.

380
00:33:57,220 --> 00:33:57,640
Not good.

381
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,020
Other business? Anybody?

382
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:01,800
Select one?

383
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:02,960
John?

384
00:34:03,460 --> 00:34:03,880
Judy?

385
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:04,960
Okay.

386
00:34:05,620 --> 00:34:06,040
Perfect.

387
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,300
All right, so now we can move on to the report of the select board.

388
00:34:14,620 --> 00:34:16,120
My report is very simple.

389
00:34:18,170 --> 00:34:22,550
The Budget Committee will have its end its hiatus for the summer

390
00:34:22,550 --> 00:34:33,530
We're now on meeting next September, first up with the outgoing look at the new continuation

391
00:34:33,530 --> 00:34:35,530
of the Bureau of the cost for the town.

392
00:34:37,570 --> 00:34:44,230
Tomorrow is the cemetery committee meeting at the smallpox cemetery.

393
00:34:44,450 --> 00:34:51,690
We're going to do a work session up there, Clayson Brush, and we'd work the actual burial

394
00:34:51,690 --> 00:35:00,870
well inside the little compound of rocks. That's about it. It's been a busy summer, Mr.

395
00:35:01,090 --> 00:35:04,470
Chairman, and neither of my friends have met.

396
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,460
Frank? Well, none of mine have met either.

397
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:17,980
It was easy. Yeah, it's played a good one for me. Many more doesn't meet again until September,

398
00:35:17,980 --> 00:35:23,220
remember my God September and none of my other committees have met so.

399
00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:25,240
All right, John.

400
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,440
You've been on vacation, so you must have a whole lot to report about.

401
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:29,500
I actually do.

402
00:35:30,780 --> 00:35:35,920
Actually, you know, I'm looking at the accounts table that reflects you.

403
00:35:35,940 --> 00:35:36,780
I'm not having been here.

404
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,980
You couldn't spend any money here. God for two weeks.

405
00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:43,280
I like to make a motion.

406
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:50,760
All right, so I do have a few things. There's going to be a rail trail feasibility study RFP

407
00:35:50,760 --> 00:36:00,540
hitting the streets soon to get a feasibility study for the rail trail going from Webster Street

408
00:36:00,540 --> 00:36:06,540
to Peterborough, specifically there's a bridge that is going to need to be built on.

409
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,260
I don't even know

410
00:36:14,380 --> 00:36:20,080
So that's going to be forthcoming, you know, be a conservation commission effort, but I just want to do to be aware of that.

411
00:36:20,380 --> 00:36:21,340
Are they going down?

412
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,420
Well, this is specific.

413
00:36:23,700 --> 00:36:29,060
Yeah, it's intended to ultimately connect Peter Burrow and Jeffrey on the rail trail.

414
00:36:29,700 --> 00:36:31,680
The project goes to go across though, I think.

415
00:36:32,980 --> 00:36:36,920
Yeah, it's, it's, yeah, right now.

416
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,660
Oh, so I know which one you, the bridge where you want that bridge.

417
00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:43,780
I go on the Jeffrey side of things, there's no peanut butter extension.

418
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:45,000
Now yeah.

419
00:36:45,380 --> 00:36:49,500
Any extension from the head of peanut butter will be extremely difficult.

420
00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:50,900
The rail bits pretty much gone.

421
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,660
Well, it's on the group, you know, the...

422
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:56,460
Oh, forgive me.

423
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:57,520
Yeah, I know it's a group.

424
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,500
In the MadKnock region, rail trail collaborative,

425
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:03,460
that's come to us before.

426
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,140
But, you know, this is the first phase of that evolution.

427
00:37:09,140 --> 00:37:13,740
So, you're not surprised by that, I had two meetings with DES on Tuesday.

428
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:21,500
The first one was at the Lagoon's, there was some, well, I guess misunderstanding between

429
00:37:21,500 --> 00:37:26,380
DES or consultant and our goals, ultimately, and how we wanted to address it.

430
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,300
So we asked DES to come out so that they could see what we were looking at, because Lagoon

431
00:37:31,300 --> 00:37:38,100
1 is 50% full, and you know, there's been some rule changes, the things that they allowed

432
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:45,780
us to do just five years ago or not allowed anymore. So, you know, we got our bearing

433
00:37:45,780 --> 00:37:51,060
straight with each other and have a good plan to move forward. And then we had another

434
00:37:51,060 --> 00:38:00,720
meeting with the folks to discuss the PFAS issue with the fire station. And again, there

435
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:06,640
was a lot of monitoring wells being proposed and other ground sampling, and we got them to

436
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:14,480
to back off of that recommendation so that we get the plant operational and figure out

437
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,040
what impact the plant has on the PFAS in the region.

438
00:38:18,420 --> 00:38:24,100
So that's probably save us a quarter of a million dollars between the two meetings

439
00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:30,020
on what was being asked of us and actually getting them to understand where we sit right now.

440
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,800
So productive meetings there.

441
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:39,520
final element that I have for you at Charles Lawrence, sent his, you know, his

442
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:46,540
great regarding his runoff there at Jennifer Lane, the alleged runoff, and sent a

443
00:38:46,540 --> 00:38:50,980
letter of complaint and demand to primex our insurance company who probably

444
00:38:50,980 --> 00:38:57,560
told him. Yeah, you need to direct your issues to the town or Jeffrey, not the

445
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,380
insurance company. So, you know, he's grasping it straws, but I just want to keep

446
00:39:01,380 --> 00:39:08,360
your prize there. And Izzy is entering this is her second

447
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,700
last week. This will be the last legboard meeting that she's

448
00:39:11,700 --> 00:39:19,580
here. And last, well, you go to 28th August 28th. So we're

449
00:39:19,580 --> 00:39:20,660
winding down here.

450
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:25,380
To go back to school again. I am. Yeah.

451
00:39:26,020 --> 00:39:28,000
Good luck. Thank you.

452
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,180
I don't know if I have this work ethic on them.

453
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:30,760
Oh!

454
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,080
They have a period of experience with the emerald regal.

455
00:39:35,820 --> 00:39:44,960
So with that, I would ask for you to go into non-public in accordance with RSA 91-A3-2-C.

456
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:47,200
Please.

457
00:39:47,540 --> 00:39:47,940
Okay.

458
00:39:54,610 --> 00:39:56,830
Who wants to put RSA 91?

459
00:39:59,050 --> 00:40:00,550
A call and three.

460
00:40:01,310 --> 00:40:03,450
Roll number two C.

461
00:40:05,010 --> 00:40:06,230
A roll call vote.

462
00:40:06,530 --> 00:40:06,630
Any?

463
00:40:07,390 --> 00:40:10,190
No, we have to close it but we're searching for a version.

464
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:10,470
Oh, this?

465
00:40:10,790 --> 00:40:11,050
No.

466
00:40:11,410 --> 00:40:12,730
No, this is...

467
00:40:12,730 --> 00:40:13,670
It gets us in a mouth.

468
00:40:15,460 --> 00:40:16,700
I'd like to make a motion.

469
00:40:17,820 --> 00:40:18,300
So move.

470
00:40:19,420 --> 00:40:20,480
Frank, yes, right?

471
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:21,080
Yes.

472
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:22,040
Yes.

473
00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:23,240
Charlie, yes.

474
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:24,320
Okay.

475
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,340
Okay, now we're non-public.
