[0:00] 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
[0:29] We'll apply for grant funding this year.
[0:31] It's going to delay the project for at least another year.
[0:34] So we have filed the petition.
[0:38] I think the first step in that petition was
[0:40] to demonstrate that there was a tape location,
[0:42] which means that the public need of public interest
[0:46] and I believe the select board did identify that
[0:48] and moved on to the public hearing and required site visit.
[0:53] And we would hopefully ask you to consider
[0:59] and I believe following the laid out for us the next thing would be the assessment of
[1:04] the damages, the lay of all damages, and then there is a vital return of the highway
[1:10] layout of the process.
[1:13] Thanks for that.
[1:14] We've been sharing with you both brilliantly, and I'm happy to answer any questions with anybody
[1:21] for that sort of job. Any questions from the audience for the petitioner?
[1:30] Is there anybody
[1:32] here that's opposed to the road?
[1:41] Okay. No questions?
[1:50] Well, since this is a public hearing
[1:52] and the questions seem to be answered, or at least not in jeopardy of getting, not having
[2:01] in the road. I would like, at this point, to talk for a moment with Andy. Andy, do you
[2:10] have any issues? I have no issues. I'd like to make a comment that, in my opinion, looks
[2:18] to be very professionally done. I believe it'd be a nice addition to the town of Jeffrey.
[2:24] Okay, thank you. In this case, I would normally ask Frank to speak, but Frank has recused
[2:29] themself because of his relationship with MJ and MJ. So it's basically going to be
[2:35] Andy and I make a decision. I have, again, I'll mention that I did speak with the Director
[2:41] of Public Works this afternoon. He was thoroughly pleased with the road. I think Mike did a great
[2:46] job in MJ and MJ and MJ getting it in under the window so we can continue with this process.
[2:54] I think at this point, I don't have any reason to delay this as far as a vote.
[3:02] Andy, would you take it from there?
[3:04] I'd like to make a motion, Mr. Chairman, to grant the petition, to lay out
[3:09] Melville Circle, and make an amendment to the development agreement.
[3:14] Okay, I'll second that.
[3:16] So I would say, say aye.
[3:18] Aye.
[3:19] Okay.
[3:21] I'm recued.
[3:21] Yep.
[3:25] Thank you.
[3:26] Anything else for MJ and MJ?
[3:28] All right.
[3:29] So that's section of this portion of this.
[3:33] Thank
[3:36] you all.
[3:37] Thank you.
[3:37] Thank you.
[3:46] Thank you.
[3:47] I'm going to have the first one.
[3:48] Thank you.
[3:49] Thank you.
[3:56] Okay.
[3:57] Moving along.
[3:58] This is, uh,
[4:05] okay.
[4:06] So this
[4:11] is the first public hearing for the Community Development Block Grant application.
[4:18] I open this public hearing to address the proposed community development block grant application.
[4:25] Okay. Notice the public hearing, Town of Jaffrey Community Development Block Grant application.
[4:31] The Town of Jaffrey Select Board will hold three consecutive readings.
[4:35] public hearings on Wednesday, August 19th, 2026 at 6 p.m. at the Jaffrey Town Hall in
[4:43] the Bay of the 28 Main Street Jaffrey.
[4:47] To hear public comments on the Community Development
[4:49] Block Grant CDBG Economic Development Grant Application Proposal to the New Hampshire Community
[4:56] Development Finance Authority, CDFA. CDBG funding is available annually for activities that
[5:05] It directly benefit low and moderate income persons in the following grant categories and amounts.
[5:12] Up to 750,000 for housing and public facilities, 500,000 for economic development and
[5:20] a million for micro enterprise development and 25,000 for feasibility studies.
[5:28] This proposal to be heard includes,
[5:31] I propose the economic development grant for $500,000 in CDBG funds.
[5:39] A portion of the funds will be sub-planted to Menadmak Economic Development Corporation
[5:45] to be loaned to Menadmak Food Cooper, to purchase equipment, to outfit and renovate former
[5:53] right aid building at 12 P.D. Barrow Road in Jeffrey.
[5:57] Item 2, review and read adoption of the town of Jeffrey's housing and community development
[6:06] plan.
[6:07] And 3, review and adoption of the town of Jeffrey's residential, anti-displacement and relocation
[6:16] plan.
[6:18] I would recognize Jack or Herne of the Southwest Regional Planning Commission to address
[6:23] the grant to process, thank you very much, my name is Jack, I'm a planner and grant specialist
[6:31] with South Lake Regional Commission. As is required for these hearings, I'll be
[6:36] providing a report review of the Community Development Walk and program, and then
[6:42] provided this with the application. CMEBG funds are available to municipalities and
[6:49] counties on its competitive basis with projects
[6:52] that come early on the fifth level of modern
[6:54] and conversions.
[6:55] The time of Jeffrey's eligible to receive up to $750,000
[6:59] in CDBD funds 30 years in public facilities
[7:02] and housing grants, $500,000 in economic development
[7:06] grants, and $1 million in micro-hundred-pipes
[7:09] technical assistance.
[7:11] These brilliant planning study funds are available
[7:13] for $25,000 in a row.
[7:17] I have provided handouts describing the name for community development block grant program
[7:23] and eligible activities and funding amounts in the cut area income limits.
[7:29] And then I provided you is the Hillsborough County income limits, including the Cheshire County
[7:36] income limits.
[7:37] It should be full, as for this specific project,
[7:41] we're anticipating beneficiaries to come from
[7:44] likely, all I have is Hillsborough County.
[7:47] All I have is Hillsborough County.
[7:49] Yeah, I missed the Chester County income limits.
[7:53] I didn't send those after this meeting,
[7:55] or those two, they are slightly lower than Hillsborough County.
[7:58] Yeah, it's considerably lower.
[8:01] Yeah, but employees, people of beneficiaries from Hillsborough
[8:04] the federal county will be held to those first-year vice-versa-president county.
[8:09] The proposed application to the community development finance authority is for $5,000,000 economic
[8:16] development funds.
[8:17] If awarded the funds will be sub-branded by administrative costs to the banana economic
[8:23] development corporation, and you can see, MEDC will go and see the EDG funds to the banana
[8:29] Now, we try to assist the processing equipment
[8:31] to help the new store location in the renovated
[8:34] from the venue building at 12th anniversary of JAPRES.
[8:38] The co-op intends to create up to 25 new jobs
[8:41] as a result of the project of which at least 60%.
[8:45] If you feel like there was no modern account slots,
[8:49] I provided in the Australian project.
[8:52] And I usually represent it as for the Banana Economic Development
[8:57] 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
[9:07] 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.
[9:21] So getting to this project has been multiple conversations many years in the making as
[9:28] Joanne can test it as John can test it as well.
[9:32] We've been working with the co-op for a few years to try to identify a site and also concurrently
[9:38] working with the town on trying to bring them to Jeffrey.
[9:41] So this is kind of a culmination of a result of many years of hard work to try to get to this
[9:48] point.
[9:49] So, we've been working with them and with the town to help them put together a funding
[9:53] stack in order to acquire and retrofit the building.
[9:56] So, these CDBG funds are part of that funding stack and Menadakekenocht development.
[10:03] In this instance, it's playing a role that has traditionally played more often with the
[10:08] CDU key, but with other municipalities throughout the region in accessing these federal funds
[10:12] where we act as an intermediary and as a lender.
[10:16] 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.
[10:29] a recent example of using report funds to help open a business, and I mean I'd knock in a couple
[10:38] of years ago we worked with them a couple of years ago to renovate, acquire, and revitalize
[10:45] actually.
[10:46] So this is a role in the food co-op we worked with on both of their expansions at Keen over the
[10:53] So we're excited to work with them and excited to work with the town.
[11:10] got a question.
[11:12] Is that enough money?
[11:16] It's 500,000 enough.
[11:18] So, so the 500,000 is part of
[11:24] it's isolated to just the equipment purchase.
[11:28] So now we'll go towards that refrigeration unit and things like that to outfit.
[11:32] And due to federal regulations that we found
[11:36] was the best place to isolate these funds in the project just so it doesn't trigger other
[11:42] federal requirements that would make acquiring and renovating the property more expensive.
[11:48] So the part that it plays overall is going to be small if you're looking at it globally.
[11:54] But the part that it plays within these specific equipment purchases is very important.
[11:59] 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.
[12:09] So, we're anticipating there being several different, maybe four or five or six different funding sources that can go into this altogether.
[12:17] But that's something that's generally standard with acquisition, renovations, and retrofits like this.
[12:24] Thank you.
[12:26] Is there anything any comments from the public?
[12:44] Any comments from the staff?
[12:48] Find a board?
[12:50] No manager?
[12:52] Is he?
[12:54] No thank you.
[13:05] Well I don't have any, since there is no other public input,
[13:13] I would like to have a motion to
[13:16] I need to close the public here.
[13:22] In this case, since there is no public input, I will close the public here.
[13:28] And now ask for a motion for the application.
[13:34] Mr.
[13:51] Chairman, I would like to make a motion to move, to approve the seminal of the application,
[13:59] vote authorized, John Frederick.
[14:01] does the authorize designee to sign and submit the CDBG application and a part
[14:10] approval of the CDBG application authorize the authorize designee to
[14:18] execute any document which may be necessary to evacuate the CDBG
[14:25] Contra. Can you repeat that?
[14:32] Second. Okay, I have a motion and I have a second. All
[14:38] in favor say aye. Aye.
[14:43] It's one down.
[14:55] All right, so the second public hearing is now
[15:00] 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.
[15:25] So if any displacement occurs as a result of the proposal to see the meeting of the project,
[15:31] the Uniform Relocation Act must be followed, which requires that new displaced households
[15:36] for businesses in the project, using federal funds must be found comparable housing and commercial
[15:42] space, and comparable neighborhood as compared to Christ, under the certification section of the application
[15:49] the time to certify that the right-of-the-matured and the predisposition of the education assistance
[15:53] plan is in place and then we've done that it has discovered that this specific project
[15:58] does this for its persons, households, and businesses in displacement implementation plan must be
[16:04] submitted to CDF8 in order to be willing for extended funds. This plan is not anticipated or at all likely
[16:22] Okay, so the floor is now open for public discussion, we're hearing anything from the public.
[16:34] Hearing nothing, okay.
[16:36] Anything from the staff or the selectman?
[16:45] That's very quiet in here.
[16:50] Okay, at this point, since there's no input, I'll close the public hearing.
[16:56] And ask for a motion.
[17:00] Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion that we adopt the kind of Japanese residential
[17:06] antique displacement and relocation plan as red.
[17:11] Okay, I have a motion and I have a second and all in favor say aye.
[17:17] Aye.
[17:19] Thank you.
[17:19] We're
[17:28] going to open another public hearing.
[17:32] This is the 3rd and the evening,
[17:37] and I recognize Jack or her in the housing and community development plan.
[17:45] 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.
[17:53] The Jaquers Select Board last adopted its HCDP in 2019 as part of the storm spring swallowing
[18:01] treatment facility project.
[18:05] It is required to be reviewed and adopted in a minimum of every three years to qualify
[18:10] for seal-making funding.
[18:12] The plan is developed directly from the town's master plan goals, has been updated to reflect
[18:17] the current goals of the master plan they should see D.P. need to be re-adopted for this application.
[18:25] This proposed project conforms to the following goals in town's housing and community development
[18:30] and of using available space for relooking businesses to Jeffrey and to provide a downtown
[18:47] Is there any input from the public?
[18:52] Is there any input from the select board or officers or I have none?
[18:59] Okay.
[19:00] This is getting simple.
[19:03] You're not the guy making a lot of things.
[19:08] Okay, since there is no comment from the public, I'm going to close the public here now.
[19:13] And I'd like to make a comment though.
[19:15] This is on my personal personal side of this thing. I think this is the greatest thing that could ever happen to Jeffrey
[19:21] So I hope I wish all the best of luck, and I'm looking forward to buying my first bundle of groceries
[19:30] At this point any could I have a motion, please?
[19:34] I'd like to make a motion that we re-adopt the time Jeffrey's housing and community development
[19:41] I have a motion and seconded, all the day to say hi, at
[19:54] this point I think the public hearing is closed, if anybody want to stay for the rest of the meeting, you're welcome to.
[20:06] Thanks for explaining everything, I appreciate it.
[20:10] Thank you
[20:21] everyone.
[20:28] Let's see, have a good night.
[20:30] Thank you very much.
[20:48] Pointless.
[20:52] We have appointments.
[21:00] Who is speaking for Sandy Cook?
[21:04] No, Gilmore Pond.
[21:05] No, Gilmore Pond Association.
[21:07] Hi.
[21:09] Now, would you introduce yourself?
[21:11] Sorry.
[21:12] Can we just stand up and talk?
[21:15] Sure.
[21:16] My name is Michael Victor.
[21:19] And I'm a board member of Gilmore Pond Association.
[21:21] 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.
[21:35] And I did provide Judy with an email full of materials that hopefully you've had time to review.
[21:46] And the idea, what I'm, what the Gilmore Pond Association is asking for the town of
[21:52] Jeffrey is permission to do remedial stormwater runoff work as it is outlined in the recommendations
[22:03] from the watershed management plan that was given to you on townland if it so happens
[22:14] to be on talent land. And that mostly would be happening mostly on Sandy Lane. One of the things
[22:23] that's being recommended is that the slope of the road, that there's paved part of the road that
[22:29] goes down Sandy Lane, be sloped away from the pond into a culvert area. And then there's another
[22:36] longer stretch about 200 or 300 yards of dirt road that slants up, which is draining
[22:43] now mostly into the pond area rather than into the drainage area.
[22:50] So the bulk of the work is really going to be happening on Sandy Lane, but there's also
[22:57] a part on Gilmore Beach on land that is owned by
[23:05] the Simpsons, that is going to involve
[23:09] hopefully an infiltration basin in an area that's now a drainage area with a culvert that
[23:16] goes into Gilmore pond, but it's completely clogged and not really useful as an infiltration
[23:23] based in right now. So we're asking to do this remedial work, which will be done by Keith
[23:32] Dupuy from Mountain Shade. He's already given us an estimate for the work. All the work
[23:40] is going to be done by a combination of grants and money from the Government of Pond Association.
[23:46] We have a letter from the President of the Gilpat Association pledging the money that
[23:53] is necessary that is not provided through grants to have this work done.
[23:57] The total amount for the work that's going to be done including permits and then having
[24:03] a watershed expert come to determine whether any part of what we're doing is on wetlands
[24:09] and whether it needs a wet lens permit as well, comes to between $120,000 and $160,000 total.
[24:19] But we hopefully will get some grant money to help with that.
[24:23] But the rest of it will be paid for by the Goberpont Association.
[24:31] So I think what we're trying to do is a very doable goal.
[24:37] According to what our watershed management plan says, we have to shed about four pounds
[24:48] of phosphorus in the pond per year in order to get it back to solidly in high water quality
[24:55] standards, which was called oligotrophic water.
[24:58] So for the last 20 years, the trend has been going towards poorer water quality.
[25:04] But if we do this stormwater runoff plan and do an aggressive septic system maintenance plan
[25:14] from all the landowners, it appears that we will easily meet the goal of trying to get
[25:20] us back into the kind of water that we used to have.
[25:24] And we still have, but barely.
[25:26] And, but we can make this change, if you, you know, you may not know this, but Gilmore
[25:34] Pond, there's nothing that flows into Gilmore Pond from any other tributaries.
[25:38] Everything starts at Gilmore Pond.
[25:40] So we are really in control of whether we can make this work.
[25:44] And doing this stormwater runoff is basically 76% of the goal that we need to achieve is
[25:57] by doing this part of it.
[25:59] And the rest of it will be done through septic system and individual landowners doing the
[26:05] things that they need to prevent erosion.
[26:08] So I'm hoping that you will be able to grant us permission to do this work.
[26:13] It will either be done next year or the year after that.
[26:17] It all depends on how much money we can get from grants.
[26:20] Thank you.
[26:22] You're welcome to answer.
[26:26] Oh, you also have all the letters from the land owners
[26:32] that could be involved with the project giving their permission
[26:35] to have the work done on their land.
[26:37] As well as the Conservation Committee giving their
[26:40] a unanimous approval of what we want to do.
[26:44] There is a letter that they sent requesting that you sign to be sent to, and I'm going
[26:54] to put you this name, but it's Andrea Vangelich.
[26:57] Yes.
[26:58] This is part of the application for the 319 watershed assistant grant, and we're asking for $75,000.
[27:08] And you see this is a total win for the town of Jaffrey, a plenty of people in town that
[27:18] like to take advantage of the beach.
[27:20] And we don't brag about the quality of the water and go more climbed and whatever we could
[27:26] do to help that.
[27:27] And it looks like when we stand it, the more climbed the association is going to foot the bell.
[27:34] I don't just want to agree with the law and do it, I think it's a win through a ton of
[27:39] jeopardy.
[27:40] I can't put it.
[27:41] Same comments.
[27:42] You can come with you.
[27:43] I see that in the letter that the talent jaffer sent out to Andrea is pretty much
[27:53] disclaimering across the town.
[27:55] If you guys can take it on and do it, yeah I mean we realized that it's not a huge amount
[28:03] of money and to get bogged down to try and to get other sources of funding with all the
[28:09] strings that are attached with that we decided we'd just rather do it ourselves.
[28:14] Is there a motion anybody here?
[28:16] Yes, I would recommend a motion that you approve the work of the Gilmore Bond Association has presented
[28:22] and execute this letter on their behalf.
[28:37] We
[28:39] have a motion and seconded, all in favor say aye.
[28:44] Good luck.
[28:45] Thank you.
[28:46] Thank you.
[28:46] This will be on its way to tomorrow.
[28:49] Judy will be in touch with you.
[28:50] Thank you.
[28:51] I really appreciate it.
[28:52] We're going to have to come.
[28:53] Thank you.
[28:56] All right.
[28:57] Next item on the agenda here is a pool of the units.
[29:02] We
[29:05] have the July 29th, 2026 minutes,
[29:12] everybody had a chance to read them and any errors or
[29:15] omissions.
[29:18] I see no errors or omissions, right?
[29:21] Hearing none, did you?
[29:24] Like to make a motion, Mr. Chairman, that we accept the public minutes of July 29th, 2026.
[29:33] So I have a second.
[29:35] motion and seconded. Now we have the 9 public minutes of July 29th, 2026.
[29:48] Again, any errors
[29:49] or emissions or any changes that anybody needs to make to them? I've read them, I didn't
[29:53] see anything. I see none. Okay, motion. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion. We accept
[30:00] The non-public minutes of July 29th, 2026, like the vote and the seal.
[30:07] Second, motion made and seconded to accept the non-public minutes of July 29th, 2026. All in favor say aye.
[30:15] All right. Okay,
[30:19] and we have the public minutes of August 12th 2026.
[30:28] Again, an opportunity
[30:30] to read them or any errors or missions. It's you, none.
[30:36] Okay.
[30:36] Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion. We accept the public minutes of August 12th,
[30:43] 2026
[30:45] Second okay emotion made in seconded to accept the minutes of August 12th, 2026 on favor say hi, all right
[30:52] Almost took you longer to approve that
[30:54] It was a quick
[31:02] Okay.
[31:05] The Senate agenda.
[31:09] We have the payroll and vendors manifest going around here.
[31:13] It's not already signed off on.
[31:16] We have some abatement for number 2026-39 for Dublin Road Realty LLC.
[31:25] 49 double in road for $551.59 for water. The new meter wasn't updated into software and the
[31:38] reading was estimated because it's to a bait estimated readings and a general bill will
[31:46] actually with actual readings. And then the next one is 2026-40 clear water pool and spa
[31:55] of Keane, 233 Menadnak Highway Keane, for $11.36 for water. It was a bill system error.
[32:09] The KW will generate and send an accurate bill. Item number 2026-41 for Nathan Conner.
[32:20] Ten, Brendan Lane, for $1,602.60 for sewer, you have a hot water heater leak, no water
[32:31] into the sewer system, and there we have a solar exemption for James Coates and Matthew
[32:38] Moore, the 91 Bryant Road, changing ownership with original exceptions granted.
[32:46] And finally, I think that's the last one, is the Tax Collector's 8th cycle of 2026,
[32:54] septic collars commitment warrant for $8,095 in 20 cents, and that completes the consent
[33:04] agenda.
[33:07] Any comments on that?
[33:09] Any agenda, everybody?
[33:11] No.
[33:11] Okay.
[33:12] Randy?
[33:14] Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion, we accept consent, agenda.
[33:19] end up items one through four as present in a second sorry French I said
[33:27] second okay okay I have a motion and seconded I'll return to say hi hi okay
[33:38] you took care of the
[33:41] old business which was the building and the
[33:48] new business anybody have anything they bring before
[33:50] for the board. Any questions? Any comments?
[33:55] Also quite.
[33:57] Not good.
[33:59] Other business? Anybody?
[34:01] Select one?
[34:02] John?
[34:03] Judy?
[34:04] Okay.
[34:05] Perfect.
[34:07] All right, so now we can move on to the report of the select board.
[34:14] My report is very simple.
[34:18] The Budget Committee will have its end its hiatus for the summer
[34:22] We're now on meeting next September, first up with the outgoing look at the new continuation
[34:33] of the Bureau of the cost for the town.
[34:37] Tomorrow is the cemetery committee meeting at the smallpox cemetery.
[34:44] We're going to do a work session up there, Clayson Brush, and we'd work the actual burial
[34:51] well inside the little compound of rocks. That's about it. It's been a busy summer, Mr.
[35:01] Chairman, and neither of my friends have met.
[35:07] Frank? Well, none of mine have met either.
[35:11] It was easy. Yeah, it's played a good one for me. Many more doesn't meet again until September,
[35:17] remember my God September and none of my other committees have met so.
[35:24] All right, John.
[35:25] You've been on vacation, so you must have a whole lot to report about.
[35:28] I actually do.
[35:30] Actually, you know, I'm looking at the accounts table that reflects you.
[35:35] I'm not having been here.
[35:36] You couldn't spend any money here. God for two weeks.
[35:41] I like to make a motion.
[35:43] All right, so I do have a few things. There's going to be a rail trail feasibility study RFP
[35:50] hitting the streets soon to get a feasibility study for the rail trail going from Webster Street
[36:00] to Peterborough, specifically there's a bridge that is going to need to be built on.
[36:11] I don't even know
[36:14] 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.
[36:20] Are they going down?
[36:22] Well, this is specific.
[36:23] Yeah, it's intended to ultimately connect Peter Burrow and Jeffrey on the rail trail.
[36:29] The project goes to go across though, I think.
[36:32] Yeah, it's, it's, yeah, right now.
[36:37] Oh, so I know which one you, the bridge where you want that bridge.
[36:40] I go on the Jeffrey side of things, there's no peanut butter extension.
[36:44] Now yeah.
[36:45] Any extension from the head of peanut butter will be extremely difficult.
[36:49] The rail bits pretty much gone.
[36:51] Well, it's on the group, you know, the...
[36:55] Oh, forgive me.
[36:56] Yeah, I know it's a group.
[36:58] In the MadKnock region, rail trail collaborative,
[37:02] that's come to us before.
[37:05] But, you know, this is the first phase of that evolution.
[37:09] So, you're not surprised by that, I had two meetings with DES on Tuesday.
[37:14] The first one was at the Lagoon's, there was some, well, I guess misunderstanding between
[37:21] DES or consultant and our goals, ultimately, and how we wanted to address it.
[37:26] So we asked DES to come out so that they could see what we were looking at, because Lagoon
[37:31] 1 is 50% full, and you know, there's been some rule changes, the things that they allowed
[37:38] us to do just five years ago or not allowed anymore. So, you know, we got our bearing
[37:45] straight with each other and have a good plan to move forward. And then we had another
[37:51] meeting with the folks to discuss the PFAS issue with the fire station. And again, there
[38:00] was a lot of monitoring wells being proposed and other ground sampling, and we got them to
[38:06] to back off of that recommendation so that we get the plant operational and figure out
[38:14] what impact the plant has on the PFAS in the region.
[38:18] So that's probably save us a quarter of a million dollars between the two meetings
[38:24] on what was being asked of us and actually getting them to understand where we sit right now.
[38:30] So productive meetings there.
[38:31] final element that I have for you at Charles Lawrence, sent his, you know, his
[38:39] great regarding his runoff there at Jennifer Lane, the alleged runoff, and sent a
[38:46] letter of complaint and demand to primex our insurance company who probably
[38:50] told him. Yeah, you need to direct your issues to the town or Jeffrey, not the
[38:57] insurance company. So, you know, he's grasping it straws, but I just want to keep
[39:01] your prize there. And Izzy is entering this is her second
[39:08] last week. This will be the last legboard meeting that she's
[39:11] here. And last, well, you go to 28th August 28th. So we're
[39:19] winding down here.
[39:22] To go back to school again. I am. Yeah.
[39:26] Good luck. Thank you.
[39:28] I don't know if I have this work ethic on them.
[39:30] Oh!
[39:31] They have a period of experience with the emerald regal.
[39:35] So with that, I would ask for you to go into non-public in accordance with RSA 91-A3-2-C.
[39:46] Please.
[39:47] Okay.
[39:54] Who wants to put RSA 91?
[39:59] A call and three.
[40:01] Roll number two C.
[40:05] A roll call vote.
[40:06] Any?
[40:07] No, we have to close it but we're searching for a version.
[40:10] Oh, this?
[40:10] No.
[40:11] No, this is...
[40:12] It gets us in a mouth.
[40:15] I'd like to make a motion.
[40:17] So move.
[40:19] Frank, yes, right?
[40:20] Yes.
[40:21] Yes.
[40:22] Charlie, yes.
[40:23] Okay.
[40:24] Okay, now we're non-public.
