1
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:19,439
And uh we'll begin tonight with uh
public comment. Um if you'd like to

2
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,960
speak, you can head up to the podium. We
do have a signin sheet there um for any

3
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:29,320
contact information if you need us to
follow up. Great.

4
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:29,320
» Thank you.

5
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:38,399
Good evening. I am Representative Susan
Porchelli, Rockingham District 19,

6
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:44,640
Hampton Falls in Kensington.
Recently, I was made aware of an ongoing

7
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:52,000
environmental investigation at the
Unatil property on Drinkwater Road.

8
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:59,840
Several private water wells located on
drinkwater road were sampled for PAS and

9
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:05,760
the subcategories of chemicals known as
PFOA and PFOS

10
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:11,200
and these are commonly known as forever
chemicals.

11
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:17,680
Private well owners
of the property located at the proposed

12
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:24,960
test sites were notified and informed of
the ongoing well monitoring program.

13
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:31,439
The situation is complicated and has
caused many questions. The town of

14
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:38,560
Kensington is not responsible for the
investigation, testing, or any potential

15
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:44,720
remediation efforts. However, the New
Hampshire Department of Environmental

16
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:50,880
Services is responsible and has assigned
Drew Scott of the Hazardous Waste

17
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:56,399
Remediation Bureau as project lead for
this investigation.

18
00:01:53,040 --> 00:02:03,040
I spoke with Mr. Drew to understand the
current status of the testing and next

19
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:09,280
steps. I It was very complicated. I
asked him if he would be available to

20
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:15,920
attend a Kensington Select Board meeting
to participate in a 30 minute question

21
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:24,400
and answer discussion. He agreed and
suggested that Thomas Murphy from UNATIL

22
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:33,120
and Michael Connorak from GA ZA also
attend. So my ask to the board tonight

23
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:40,640
is is if you would be willing to host a
30 minute session for residents to ask

24
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:46,640
questions to this panel of experts. If
you agree, I will coordinate the date

25
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:51,280
and other logistics with the board. The
advantage of having the discussion at

26
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:56,319
the beginning of a board meeting is to
provide residents with access to these

27
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:02,640
experts and a recording of the
discussion to be viewed at a later date.

28
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:08,720
So my ask is please let me know how to
proceed to coordinate this discussion

29
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,720
and I really appreciate your attention
for this very important issue. Thank

30
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:15,879
you.
>> Thank you.

31
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:22,480
Yeah, I I don't see why not. I think
it's just a matter of us figuring out

32
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:26,319
which meeting um makes the most sense.
Um I don't know off the top of my head

33
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:30,400
what we already have scheduled for the
next few, but can we reach out to you

34
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:35,440
directly um when we Kathy, we can talk
with you about what date makes sense.

35
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:39,599
» Okay. And I will email you the names of
the participants that would like to

36
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:41,280
attend.
>> Great.

37
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:45,080
» Thank you very much.
>> Thank you.

38
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,080
» Thanks, Susan.

39
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:54,840
There any other public comments this
evening?

40
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:04,000
We will uh
move into our our agenda. I do want to

41
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,879
note on the agenda here we have noted
that the waiver uh that the library had

42
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,920
requested we had initially put this uh
in that meeting on the 27th of July said

43
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:16,479
we were going to discuss that tonight.
that waiver has been withdrawn by the

44
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:24,160
library. Um so we are not having that on
our discussion tonight.

45
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:27,160
So that we'll move into department heads
that

46
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,080
system

47
00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:46,280
equipment firearms

48
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:54,440
have been

49
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:08,280
subject for the night.

50
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:17,479
again

51
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:31,199
type of situations in the woods. I also
look at injuries with the police officer

52
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,199
well as
mosquitoes

53
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,080
situation.

54
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,800
The last time I thought about this

55
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:03,039
at some point the importance of you know
how quickly it's more for search and

56
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:06,880
rescue and it's not uh as it's been
quoted to look in people's windows and

57
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:11,360
look at people's property is there's
procedures and policies that go along

58
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:15,039
with that. Uh, you know, I'm looking at
it as as how quickly can we retrieve

59
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:20,080
somebody when you put something up in
the air and and see, you know, the the

60
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:24,319
heat detection over putting people out
in the woods and you're looking at for

61
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:28,400
hours for for stuff as we have in the
last couple weeks. We've been stuck out

62
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:33,039
the woods. I looking for people, uh,
obviously the drone is going to find it

63
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:36,800
much faster. And, uh, you know, whether
someone else has a drone or not, it's

64
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:40,720
the availability is more important to
how fast I can get. So again, I'm going

65
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:46,479
to look at it. I'll do it as a warrant
article this year, but I I will address

66
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:51,759
it at some point.
Besides that,

67
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:55,280
nothing else will spot right now.
>> Thank you.

68
00:06:52,720 --> 00:07:02,639
» Thanks, Chief
Jeff.

69
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:09,039
Uh for the fire department, um there is
a meeting um information meeting on

70
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:14,240
September 10th for town officials and
the area towns that are involved in the

71
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:20,720
Plasau ALS program to discuss the
current program and what the program

72
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:28,479
looks like in the future. Um, so one of
you or two of you or or you can send

73
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:33,360
Kathy. Um, I'll be there. So, just want
to let you guys know that. That's at

74
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:40,960
night. Um, I think it's at 6:30 and it's
down in um, class, the Timberland

75
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:44,400
Performing Arts Center.
Um,

76
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,240
» are either of you I can make that. Are
either of you able to attend as well?

77
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:50,560
No.
the date again?

78
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,120
» The 10th. September 10th.
>> September 10th.

79
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:59,280
» Okay.
>> I'll be there.

80
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:05,199
» Great. Um on in October on the 3rd and
the 4th, uh Stratam Fire Department is

81
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:10,319
hosting a class on rural water supply.
Um we will be participating with our

82
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:15,840
tanker in that um drill. It's a
classroom and a a drill all weekend. So

83
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:21,039
the two days which will be great. give
us some practice with our new tanker and

84
00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:29,039
learn the ins and outs of rural water
supply with our mutual aid partners.

85
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:35,839
That's it for fire uh EOC. Um the next
Seabbrook drill is on the 23rd. It's a

86
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:40,959
morning 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This is
the graded one. This is the one we get

87
00:08:37,839 --> 00:08:46,320
graded by FEMA. So it's kind of
important that all the players show up

88
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:52,240
to this one.
So that's important coming up. And uh

89
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:56,959
another note for EOC, um we had two
members of the fire department step up.

90
00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:01,680
One went through uh RADF training. So
I'll have another RAF officer, which is

91
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,440
great. Um and the other one is U
prepared.

92
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:09,440
» What is RADF?
>> So that's um they they issue you your

93
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:13,120
iodine pills. They they do the scanning.
So, if you come in off the street,

94
00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:18,720
they'll scan you with the wand to make
sure you're not radioactive and um and

95
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:23,120
then they fill out all the forms and
stuff. So, that's called the radio

96
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:28,800
officer.
Um the other member is uh will be

97
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:33,519
attending um a web EOCC class and that's
our new clerk. So she's going to attend

98
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:39,920
the class. So she'll be able to
understand the state's uh web program

99
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:44,560
that uh you can talk to all the uh
EOCC's in the state and the state. Um

100
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:50,880
she's going to go and understand that
program. So that's great. And that's it

101
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:54,720
for EOC. That's all I got.
>> Jeff Chief, um

102
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:58,800
» you said it was the September 23rd is
the the test one.

103
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:02,480
» Yes. Correct. I'm gonna I'm going I was
at the last room, but I'm going to be at

104
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:07,760
a conference in Vegas for that entire
week. So, I don't know if anybody um

105
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:14,560
could potentially
I could give you my my crib notes from

106
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:17,760
the from the um the drill last time. I
don't know if anyone else potentially

107
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:22,640
could be here.
>> Yeah, no worries. It's uh pretty easy.

108
00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:27,120
It's a we give you a a check sheet. So
you just follow the check sheet and then

109
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:31,440
» you literally roll here and can get work
done when you hang out and wait like

110
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,880
» this one might be a little more exciting
just because there will actually be FEMA

111
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,839
evaluators. So
>> yeah, it's check check boxes

112
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:43,120
pretty easy.
>> I I was the scanned patient last time.

113
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:47,680
» Yes. Yep.
>> Probably September 10th.

114
00:10:45,839 --> 00:10:48,959
» September 23rd.
>> Uh

115
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,640
» 23rd.
>> 23rd. Sorry. The 10th was the evening

116
00:10:51,839 --> 00:10:55,279
one.
>> I can still do that.

117
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,519
» It's open.
>> Okay. So, you could be here to do that.

118
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,680
That'd be great because I'm supposed to
be in Boston that day.

119
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:04,640
» Time's up.
>> Uh, it's usually from 800 a.m. till 1:00

120
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:09,440
p.m. We'll uh we'll give you a call when
you're supposed to come in.

121
00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:13,920
» They don't like it when you um show up
for the drill and you're already here.

122
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:21,519
They want to make sure like
>> you get the call to show up.

123
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,120
» We'll give you the call and then you can
come in.

124
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:26,519
» Thank you, sir.
>> Yeah. Thank you.

125
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:35,240
» Thank you.
>> Thank you,

126
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,240
» Sarah. Carlen.

127
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:42,480
» Okay.
>> Thank you. Mhm.

128
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:47,440
Um from the town clerk's office, just a
few things. Um the state primary is a

129
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:52,660
week from tomorrow, so don't forget to
come vote. Bring your photo ID.

130
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:56,320
Um I presented Kathy, excuse me,
[clears throat] with three appointments

131
00:11:53,839 --> 00:12:01,760
for tonight. Um two of them are the
proms for the election for the two of

132
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:08,000
you who aren't available that day. and
then uh an additional um election worker

133
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:12,880
that Harold um would like available for
the day.

134
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:17,760
Um so those will need your signatures,
please. Um if you have any questions,

135
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:21,680
please let me know. Um ballot testing
and ballot counting has been posted. It

136
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:28,959
will take place Wednesday morning here
in the main hall. Um not sure how long

137
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:34,959
it'll take us, but um I will probably
close the my window from 9 to two and

138
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:42,240
then just be open the evening. Um just
so I don't have interruptions during

139
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:48,320
that time. Um but everything so far is
going well and just a busy time with the

140
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:54,560
election right right around the corner
>> and everything's all set for set up on

141
00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:58,560
Monday. Yes, we have our group of I
believe four or five individuals. Okay.

142
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:02,720
» Harold has already reached out to them
and secured the time and um access to

143
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,519
the building.
>> Mhm.

144
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:11,120
» To move things and get things set up.
>> Okay. And I know there was there's some

145
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:15,839
question about access on Monday and then
Harold mentioned last year we got in a

146
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:19,120
little later than we were hoping. Are we
set to get in on Tuesday when we need

147
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,600
to?
>> I believe so. Yes.

148
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:26,320
» Okay.
There were still a couple discrepancies

149
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:32,720
with the SAU um that we were trying to
iron out um Harold has been managing all

150
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:35,959
of that, but he was confident that it
would be fine.

151
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:42,440
» So, we just have to do motions for these
three,

152
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,440
» right?

153
00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:51,920
» Okay. Um, I would like to make a motion
to appoint Joe Sis Pace as as a

154
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:56,160
Kensington election worker for the
remaining 2026 election cycle expiring

155
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,320
December 2026.
>> I second that motion.

156
00:13:57,279 --> 00:14:01,880
» All in favor?
>> I I

157
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:11,279
make a motion to appoint Russell Perry
and Benjamin Cole as Kensington

158
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:16,240
Selectman Pro Tim for the September to
December election schedule as needed. I

159
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:20,360
second that motion.
>> All in favor?

160
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,360
» I

161
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,120
» thank you.

162
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:48,399
Um and then any other committee updates?
I know we have C be on the agenda.

163
00:14:44,959 --> 00:14:51,399
Anything else from committees?
Okay.

164
00:14:51,839 --> 00:14:58,240
Um this is a report from the road
manager that um

165
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:02,240
Bellen Flynn has completed the overlay
on Stumpfield Road along with new gravel

166
00:15:00,079 --> 00:15:06,399
shoulders. We use stone shoulders on the
steepest part of the project to mitigate

167
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,680
erosion issues. Olivia Lane has been
reclaimed and repaved with two and a

168
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:14,320
half inches of base asphalt, but still
waiting on the gravel shoulders to be

169
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:20,560
completed in the near future.
And then we have a a tree issue on Muddy

170
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:26,040
Pond that we're taking care of,
>> right?

171
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,040
» They do.

172
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:41,040
» Um, so we'll move around on the agenda
just a little bit and move the CPA

173
00:15:38,079 --> 00:15:44,040
discussion up. Um, since you're here for
that.

174
00:15:53,680 --> 00:16:00,880
» Hi, good evening, Charlie Horn from the
Energy Committee. Yes, I have um Pete

175
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:06,079
Pacer. I want to see if you guys had any
questions after reviewing documents, but

176
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:11,759
I also have um some a little show and
tell on window dressers. So whichever

177
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:15,920
one you want to start with.
>> Let's do CP pacer first. I don't have

178
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:19,040
any questions. I don't know if you
either of you do.

179
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:25,759
» No questions.
>> No. I failed to see a really downside

180
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:31,040
here based off of I mean I failed to see
what's what there is to be a negative

181
00:16:28,079 --> 00:16:36,800
here in terms of impact to the town
potential support for who could assist.

182
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:40,079
So yeah,
>> I think our question then is just that

183
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:44,240
we need to decide if we want to do a
public hearing or a warrant article. Is

184
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:49,920
that correct?
>> Yes. So the the public hearing um would

185
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:53,279
need to be notified 10 days ahead of
time.

186
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:59,120
» And I I guess the downside of the
warrant article is that it would not be

187
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:03,759
acted on and then potentially not not
approved in um in March. So, it's

188
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,319
significant lag for folks who are
looking to do this.

189
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:14,480
» Do you have thoughts on hearing versus
warrant?

190
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:20,160
» I don't have one preference over the
other. Do we do we have anybody that's

191
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:23,520
looking to try to act on the program
sooner? Would we be holding any

192
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:27,919
potential?
>> Yes. Um, my understanding is that we do

193
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:34,400
have somebody who's
>> who's very interested in this. um and

194
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:36,480
potentially another another property as
well.

195
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:40,720
» I feel like public comment is
appropriate. Um I don't know why we'd

196
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:46,799
want to war an article. There's no
financial impact to the town in terms of

197
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:52,880
what we're signing up for or
>> I I would just open it up and then say,

198
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:56,080
you know, the people taking the uh
potential risk of the ones taking out

199
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,840
the loans,
>> right?

200
00:17:57,039 --> 00:18:00,720
» Correct.
>> Yeah. Yeah, I would be concerned

201
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:04,400
honestly, not concerned, but for lack of
a better way, the the Warren article,

202
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:08,480
you could have people who vote one way
or another, not necessarily basing it

203
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,919
off of a full understanding of the
program.

204
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,440
» So, I think the
meeting may be

205
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:16,240
» yeah,
>> a better approach.

206
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:20,320
» I worry with everything that inevitably
ends up on the ballot that it might kind

207
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,799
of get lost in the shuffle if it's
Warren article, whereas folks who are

208
00:18:21,679 --> 00:18:24,320
really interested in it could come to
the hearing and have the discussion

209
00:18:23,919 --> 00:18:27,440
there.
>> Absolutely.

210
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:32,200
» Agreed. Okay. So, we want to pick a date
for for that.

211
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:42,160
» That work
>> September 14th.

212
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:44,160
» We need 10 days to notice it.
>> Okay.

213
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:49,039
» 28.
>> Yeah.

214
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:52,480
» Okay.
>> You got it.

215
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:57,760
» Does that work for for you?
>> That's great. Yes. Great. And Kathy, if

216
00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:00,240
you I have lots of verbiage. Um
>> I have it.

217
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,320
» You do have all of that. Okay, perfect.
>> Thank you.

218
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,760
» Yeah,
>> thank you.

219
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:08,720
» That works.
>> Okay, so um

220
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:13,919
» Window Dressers, this is a nonprofit
volunteer organization that is based in

221
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:19,360
Maine and they've since 2010 been
building window inserts for people. Um

222
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:24,799
they're very cost-effective. they pay
for themselves in less than two years.

223
00:19:21,919 --> 00:19:30,000
And they do have a program for people
sliding scale. Um so for example, I

224
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:39,520
think that that window insert would be
$50 to put in and it saves about $40

225
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:47,520
worth of um fuel um in every year. So
it's a co-op kind of program. um and the

226
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:53,080
people who want to have these co um
participate in the building of them. So

227
00:20:03,679 --> 00:20:13,120
unfinish and finish at the build.
There's a professional

228
00:20:09,679 --> 00:20:16,679
house at the build
and plastic.

229
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:23,240
These are some pictures from
extraordinate

230
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:48,559
directly.
If they can't participate directly, they

231
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:53,600
can bring cookies. they can have
somebody volunteer in their place. Um, I

232
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:58,960
think energy committee members will
assist in the build as well.

233
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:02,480
But I just wanted to let you know that's
going on in town. Last year, we took

234
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:06,559
some things to the library and they took
them out because they thought it was a

235
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:10,320
for-profit, you know, commercial uh
enterprise trying to sell the sell

236
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:15,200
people things. So, they are trying to
sell people things, but it's a volunteer

237
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:19,600
uh not for profofit. And we're hoping to
take this more out to to people to show

238
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:24,480
them what it is rather than just
dropping off some leaflets. And I had a

239
00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:31,039
question. I I was hoping the rec chair
would be here tonight. Um the on the

240
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:36,159
12th old home days, would is that
permissible to have a table like an

241
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:41,440
energy committee table where we can just
have general information but also talk

242
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:44,640
about the the wind the window dresser
program?

243
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:47,679
I don't see ironic.
>> Yeah.

244
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:51,600
» I feel like they usually had that ky or
there was like a feel like there's been

245
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:56,159
times where there's been a a company
that's sponsored like face painting or

246
00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:59,840
something out of
>> I mean I know there's I mean there's

247
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:04,159
space I think um I don't see why not.
It's a a town supported event. So okay

248
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,679
» I think coordinating with the rec
committee for to make sure that you know

249
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,000
» you know I don't know if they could give
you a picnic table or if you need to

250
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:14,080
bring your own folding table like all
the logistic sort of stuff. Yeah. and

251
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:18,240
the best time to go. I did send an email
to to them like last week and I haven't

252
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:24,240
heard back. So, is there a better way to
reach out?

253
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:27,679
» Okay. Thank you. Terrific. All right.
Well, thank you. Do you guys have any

254
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:31,760
questions on this? Anybody want to sign
up for them? [laughter]

255
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:38,080
» Can I ask you a question? Yes. Um, what
is that made of again? And where is it

256
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:41,440
going and what places is it going on?
>> It goes on the inside of the window.

257
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:45,360
Okay.
>> And um it's foam on the outside.

258
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,720
» Okay.
>> And pine.

259
00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:55,840
» Okay. What's the plastic?
>> It's a plastic. Okay. Uh yes. I'm just

260
00:22:52,320 --> 00:23:00,880
concerned for um fire safety and and
other things like that.

261
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:09,559
» Oh, okay. It's not up.
>> Not like hurricane glass. Okay. Perfect.

262
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,559
» Okay. Thank you.

263
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,720
Thank you very much. Thank you.
>> Thank you.

264
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,720

>> Y make a motion to approve it. I second

311
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,120
the motion. All
>> in favor?

312
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,120
» I
>> I

313
00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:38,919
thank you, sir. [clears throat]
>> Yeah.

314
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:45,360
Um, and then I think we just have a few
things kind of old business to look

315
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,399
through in terms of some of the I don't
know if you've had a chance to look at

316
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:53,279
the policies that we circulated last
time. Um, I just want to acknowledge

317
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:56,720
quickly that Carly, you're here. Um, we
don't have a response for the planning

318
00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:01,760
board yet. We are continuing to talk
with legal, but we'll follow up with you

319
00:28:58,399 --> 00:29:03,840
all soon. Um, you're welcome to stay and
hang out, but I know you have a little

320
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:08,520
one, so I just want to make sure you
weren't hanging out for us for that. No.

321
00:29:11,919 --> 00:29:17,960
Yeah. Um, we just don't have it ready
yet. Thanks, Kelly.

322
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:25,000
» Uh,
do you want to look at the website

323
00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:25,000
content policy?

324
00:29:31,919 --> 00:29:38,320
Um,
>> yeah, I looked at it I think two weeks

325
00:29:35,919 --> 00:29:42,080
ago. I'm trying to remember it now. Um,
I think it covers a lot of kind of like

326
00:29:40,159 --> 00:29:46,000
this what we talked about what should be
on the website around public safety and

327
00:29:43,919 --> 00:29:50,080
emergency notifications, health and
welfare matters, road closures, legal

328
00:29:47,919 --> 00:29:54,320
notices, election and town meeting
information, board committee and

329
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:59,279
commission meetings, announcements, and
other information is determined by the

330
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:02,480
board selectman or town administrator.
And then we've got the section that says

331
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:06,240
that additional requests can be made,
but it's at our discretion as terms what

332
00:30:04,399 --> 00:30:10,080
should be up there. I think the one
thing I want to be careful of is that

333
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:13,840
we're not
putting so much up there that it's hard

334
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:19,200
to find. And even in like the planning
board meeting last month, week, whatever

335
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:23,039
it was, they found several places where
the ordinances were updated and then

336
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:27,760
other places where they were not. And I
think just capacity wise, I worry about

337
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:32,080
having outdated information on the site.
Um,

338
00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:36,880
I don't know if there's a way to make
like a a

339
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:40,720
document library kind of place where
things would live that I don't know if

340
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:44,480
that's harder to find if it's not on say
the zoning board or planning board page.

341
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:47,279
Um, just trying to find it. When I click
on the website and you click on like the

342
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:51,360
boards and committees and there's so
many links if we're going to put

343
00:30:49,279 --> 00:30:55,440
information there, I want it to be
>> accurate and easy to find and not

344
00:30:53,840 --> 00:31:00,480
overwhelming. So I don't know if you
have thoughts on what is manageable on

345
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:05,760
that from the website administration
side.

346
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:10,600
» So if you sorry if you go on to the
website and you let me bring it up.

347
00:31:12,159 --> 00:31:21,799
There's different ways to link things
when you're putting it on the website.

348
00:31:15,919 --> 00:31:21,799
So if you put it on the front page,

349
00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:32,120
we just have to watch how we link
things. That's all. So if we're if we're

350
00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:32,120
able to

351
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:41,679
put stuff on the front here,
that's fine. But I know what you mean.

352
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:46,799
Like if you go to the department, you go
to the assessor's office. There's all

353
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:49,840
kinds of there's all kinds of links.
>> Wow.

354
00:31:47,679 --> 00:31:56,080
» So
there is a lot of information on there

355
00:31:52,640 --> 00:32:00,399
and it I
if it's not department I I like to link

356
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:04,960
it to the departments
>> because if it's not department related

357
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,440
sometimes it does get lost.
>> Yeah.

358
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,720
» And that person's not looking to update
it.

359
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:15,519
um if we separate it into the
departments sometimes that's helpful. I

360
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:21,120
know you had some comments on how you
wanted to do the planning board side of

361
00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:25,200
stuff. Um was it keeping it department
or was there

362
00:32:22,799 --> 00:32:31,120
» but it's mostly on the titles I'm
changing all the titles to say 2026

363
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:38,559
document. So now it's still
and then the main the main department

364
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:42,480
what it's for gets the document. We also
have another place called forms and

365
00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:46,799
applications and things like that where
we can

366
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:50,320
link it there also. So there always the
right one there. This one happened to be

367
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:55,360
on a zoning ordinance. There were two
different copies, one from 24 and one

368
00:32:52,559 --> 00:33:00,480
from 26. So when people were looking at
it, they were looking and the difference

369
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:05,320
is very subtle in the two, but it's all
about ADU like that that changed.

370
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,360
Check

371
00:33:16,399 --> 00:33:19,399
all

372
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:34,600
that's on the side.
So as far as far as other

373
00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:48,600
Yeah. Yeah.
We were thinking budget

374
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,600
possibly.

375
00:33:49,519 --> 00:33:55,799
So the budget
here.

376
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,480
These are all

377
00:34:03,679 --> 00:34:08,360
that are They're all

378
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:13,720
too

379
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,480
far.

380
00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:24,119
But we were thinking
2027.

381
00:34:37,839 --> 00:34:43,240
But as far as people requesting stuff,

382
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:56,240
So, I've spent a
I don't want to say an alarming amount

383
00:34:53,200 --> 00:35:02,240
of time um on our website and other
towns websites.

384
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:07,520
I would just note that
the the the the basis of it all is that

385
00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:14,079
we're pretty much in line with a like
most other towns in terms of what is on

386
00:35:11,119 --> 00:35:19,520
the site. My only thoughts on like the
policy portion is you know maybe having

387
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:24,640
an area of things that can't be posted
on like here if it meets so I was just

388
00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:29,920
I've given this a lot of thought I think
just maybe coming up some criteria that

389
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:35,599
if it meets it can be okay and if it or
if it meets it specifically doesn't you

390
00:35:32,720 --> 00:35:40,160
know it immediately you know reject is
rejected because of it meeting certain

391
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:45,440
criteria
would we be just honestly I I'm just

392
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:52,280
curious because I'm still kind of are we
is this would we be having this

393
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:52,280
conversation if we weren't

394
00:35:52,800 --> 00:36:00,240
having requests right now currently from
residents to have certain information

395
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:04,079
posted on like is this is trying to
redevelop our actual town site right

396
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:10,079
just because of how many things everyone
has got going on policy I think is

397
00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:13,760
extremely critical and important to have
>> I just don't like and having some of the

398
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:18,480
stuff about the budget. I I love the
idea and having and it have a redirect,

399
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:24,079
but I don't know like we need to
reinvent our website, at least not at

400
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:27,839
this time with everything going on. And
some of the folks that I've been in

401
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:33,359
contact with with emailing um and
they've given some requests,

402
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:37,359
you know, I I've asked for any good
examples just to see, you know, hey,

403
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:42,400
that this is how they do that. Like
you're asking for this. My concern is

404
00:36:40,079 --> 00:36:46,240
sometimes private information or where
are we like to your emails that have

405
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:49,680
been going around where it's hey are we
allowed to share this what can we what

406
00:36:47,839 --> 00:36:54,079
can we not
and I can't find that anywhere else and

407
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:57,760
so when I ask for that owner information
that's where the emails stop and I don't

408
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,960
just transparently don't get any
response back where I get hey thank you

409
00:36:59,359 --> 00:37:05,920
for looking into this but I don't get
the examples and so I just think just

410
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,920
you know
>> I think coming up with some solutions on

411
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:13,920
how we can make it easier for folks. But
I just think on the policy maybe we also

412
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:18,240
think of things that shouldn't be there
just because we've already had a lot of

413
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:21,599
things in town where it's like
non-elected bodies want to put things up

414
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:25,280
and I think we've got to just be careful
of what we allow because it sets a

415
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:30,800
precedent. So
>> yeah

416
00:37:27,839 --> 00:37:34,800
the department pages even um so there's
only three of us that actually do the

417
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:40,320
website right now
and any content that goes on it so that

418
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:43,680
we can kind of monitor what gets posted
>> well and everything I've seen the big

419
00:37:41,839 --> 00:37:47,359
thing that I see is the common thread
across there's just a lot of information

420
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:51,200
to put on there so it's never going to
be this just super simplified pretty

421
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:55,920
like that's why every government website
that has a lot of information to share

422
00:37:52,720 --> 00:38:00,560
and a lot of forms and a lot of policies
>> there's just a lot there

423
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:05,119
» I think it makes me think back to the
person who came and spoke a few months

424
00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:06,560
ago about the AI tool that they built
>> y

425
00:38:05,359 --> 00:38:10,880
» that because I'm think about everything
that's in the annual report that you

426
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,000
don't look at. If that's not what you
>> Yeah.

427
00:38:11,119 --> 00:38:14,400
» If you're looking for something
specific, you might not think to look in

428
00:38:13,359 --> 00:38:16,960
the annual report,
>> right?

429
00:38:15,119 --> 00:38:21,119
» And I don't know if that tool would
provide that advanced search to be able

430
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:24,480
to say this is where to pull it out.
>> Well, that was my understanding what and

431
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:28,160
what he was [clears throat] describing.
>> I see a lot of actually now like there's

432
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:32,560
a lot of like chat bots that are going
over sites. And so I think what he every

433
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:36,560
you know my notes were saying like
ultimately somebody could just ask a

434
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:39,839
question and it automatically knows to
go and scrape everything and it can kind

435
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:43,440
of you can almost ask it
>> anything and it'll it'll because it's

436
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:47,280
almost
>> like an assistant I what did you call

437
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:50,400
it? He had a term for it where they an
agent like the agent goes in and

438
00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:53,839
actually is like
>> almost like an individual going in and

439
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:58,960
searching it for you and then giving
your answer. So it could be something to

440
00:38:57,119 --> 00:39:03,200
» I think budgeting was the biggest thing
that he came in. So you know it could be

441
00:39:01,839 --> 00:39:06,160
» hey this is something we could at least
explore because he also was talking

442
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:12,000
about some discounted rates in the
beginning um because of early adopters

443
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:15,280
and trying to get more pounds to buy in.
So

444
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:18,480
» I think maybe you know if it's something
we're going to explore you know it

445
00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:23,119
didn't sound like it was a price that
was set in stone.

446
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:28,560
» Yes. Yes.
Well, hey, if people need help, okay,

447
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:35,040
» yeah, because I think he was offering a
like a pre-trial period that if we could

448
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:37,599
align that close to budget time that if
folks are looking for that information,

449
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:41,920
they want to find the information for
the budget warrant articles. Anyways,

450
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:45,680
that could
>> Yeah.

451
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:49,520
» Yeah. something.
>> I mean, I I appreciated him finding us,

452
00:39:47,839 --> 00:39:52,960
reaching out, doing it, doing what he's
doing, finding other towns, you know,

453
00:39:51,599 --> 00:39:57,280
and it'd be good too to be able maybe
maybe we have him back to say, "Hey,

454
00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:01,200
like since the last time we had you in,
what's the adoption been like? What's

455
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:05,040
you know, we can maybe follow up with
some of those other towns and say,

456
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:09,920
» what's what's your experience been
like?"

457
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:15,119
» Yeah, I have had a few other homes reach
out to us since then, too.

458
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:15,119
» Maybe we get a couple.

459
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:23,960
sales, you know, they can bring it out.
Give us a quote.

460
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:33,760
» Um, Cath, get give me one stab at it.
>> Yeah.

461
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:36,760
» And uh and I think we can put it. I like
it.

462
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:42,000
» One more time.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Sounds great.

463
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:46,000
» Rush for it. We have a lot of requests
for information.

464
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:50,640
Yeah.
>> Also, I want to make sure we don't

465
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:53,920
descope everything possible because we
can't. So,

466
00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:55,040
» yeah. Be reasonable.
>> Okay.

467
00:40:54,240 --> 00:40:58,040
» Right.
>> Yep.

468
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:08,000
» We also had the the social services
policy.

469
00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:13,359
Um,
and I think this one was structured

470
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:16,720
around how we would handle existing
renewal uh renewing I guess requests,

471
00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:21,880
ones that have already been on the
ballot for a number of years and then

472
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:21,880
new ones

473
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:29,680
with the thought being that the current
folks would go through the process

474
00:41:26,319 --> 00:41:34,319
they've done last number of years and
new ones would have a different process

475
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:40,160
where they would have to petition for
warrant article.

476
00:41:36,319 --> 00:41:46,119
know that happy with that, but having
them being already pre-approved by the

477
00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:46,119
voters,

478
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,400
» I don't
>> I don't see a

479
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,400
» Yeah, I don't see a complication with
that.

480
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:56,720
» I agree.
>> I mean, the ones that say like 01,

481
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,359
» right?
>> That's right.

482
00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:04,800
And I I
>> I think it's

483
00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:10,079
» Yeah,
>> I think we need to raise one point.

484
00:42:07,599 --> 00:42:14,400
» I don't necessarily think the opposition
is

485
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:17,400
large.
>> Agreed.

486
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:30,839
» Yeah. So Kathy, where would that go?
under policies. [clears throat]

487
00:42:27,359 --> 00:42:30,839
» So I would

488
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:42,200
» So somebody looked up social service on
our website.

489
00:42:43,359 --> 00:42:50,359
» Sounds good.
>> Thank you.

490
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,359
» Yes. Thank you.

491
00:42:53,119 --> 00:42:58,640
in the budget meetings.
>> Yes, I did have one more thing for

492
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:02,880
Trenle Bid Lane. There was a request.
There's a new owner for 53 Cottage Road.

493
00:43:01,359 --> 00:43:08,560
So, Cottage Road is the one in the
corner. So, it's got an access on Tundle

494
00:43:05,599 --> 00:43:14,359
Bed Lane. It has an approved driveway
and I did want to bring that to somebody

495
00:43:10,319 --> 00:43:14,359
who knew it was an approved driveway.

496
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:30,400
an address change from 10 Trundle Bell
to 24 Trundle

497
00:43:29,599 --> 00:43:37,520
Street numbers
>> from so I haven't talked to the chief

498
00:43:33,359 --> 00:43:41,480
about this but right now it's 10 lane
that they have address

499
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:51,200
it should be 24 because It has 22 right
next door, which is the house that's

500
00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:58,400
getting renovated right now.
And then 24 22 is getting renovated. 24

501
00:43:54,880 --> 00:44:05,359
would be the next one. so that the youth
room if they were to subdivide rest of

502
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:09,599
the lot they can still
um

503
00:44:07,359 --> 00:44:13,720
having it be 10 is very confusing for
the owner and she was

504
00:44:14,079 --> 00:44:23,680
not understanding why in in the
sequencing of the numbers on why 10 and

505
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:27,599
I couldn't tell her I I think that the
very

506
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:31,319
town And
it was just a driveway.

507
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:38,680
» Yeah. So the house would be 53 cottage.

508
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,880
» The bar.

509
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:57,160
» No. No. She would just be the bars to go
to 24 so that it's lined up on the road.

510
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,200
That's the answer.

511
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:15,920
» Well, that's what I was going to do.
Yeah. Um, I have the form to sign off on

512
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:20,240
the voluntary average change says we
just have to use this form to sign off

513
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,440
on and then they can change the things
that way.

514
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,920
» Okay.
>> Um,

515
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:31,440
and it's it's simple. we were to do a
change of an address, it's public

516
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:36,240
hearings and and all kinds of other
um notices that have

517
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:41,520
» well I will make the motion to accept
the address change from 10 Trundle Bed

518
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:44,480
to 24 Trundle Bed to be in line with the
street numbers.

519
00:45:43,119 --> 00:45:48,520
» I second that motion.
>> All in favor? Right. Thank

520
00:45:52,640 --> 00:46:03,200
» that same address did also have a
concern about the um fireworks going off

521
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:08,040
on Monday. They didn't know if there was
going to be least future

522
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,000
» back

523
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,119
10

524
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,760
at this time.

525
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,480
» Okay.

526
00:47:02,079 --> 00:47:10,680
I mean, the town signed the
>> invite. Yeah, we've already signed it

527
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,680
this year. I mean,

528
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,800
» yeah, we're already ready to go.
>> Yeah.

529
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:20,760
» So, you'll be there with the fireworks.
>> Okay.

530
00:47:17,599 --> 00:47:20,760
» Got it.

531
00:47:35,599 --> 00:47:38,839
Thank you.

532
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:52,800
» That's it. I just have
>> the budget meetings to email.

533
00:47:47,359 --> 00:47:55,440
» Yeah, budget meetings. Yeah.
And

534
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:05,520
I have a problem with the work.
>> Okay.

535
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:08,880
» Um, but you guys can have the meeting
without me. I can get everything.

536
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:14,800
» No, no, we can.
>> No, that's No, that's actually I hate to

537
00:48:12,079 --> 00:48:19,960
be I I potentially have a conflict on
the 5th now as well.

538
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,960
Um

539
00:48:28,559 --> 00:48:34,520
» Sunday
back on Tuesday

540
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:43,240
that whole week.
>> No, just Sunday, Tuesday.

541
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:57,559
12. Mhm.
>> October 198.

542
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:18,440
» 28th
>> 19.

543
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:34,520
We have we have October and November to
hold budget meetings.

544
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:44,000
There's a number of ways that you can
hold a budget meeting uh publicly

545
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:48,000
obviously, but you could do it uh
one-on-one with department heads first

546
00:49:45,839 --> 00:49:54,480
and have like their reps go and see them
first. There's I have done today. You

547
00:49:52,000 --> 00:50:01,440
guys haven't seen it yet. Um, but like a
process for the board

548
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:08,559
season what we all kind of do. Um, what
you guys turn in and stuff. Um, I did a

549
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:13,920
a sample like just a fill in sheet. You
guys wanted something like that instead

550
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:19,920
of having to write stuff up. I'll show
you. Um but it

551
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:26,000
it's just to keep everybody kind of on
the same page.

552
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:30,400
So the process on how the budget goes,
you know, when we go through the budgets

553
00:50:28,319 --> 00:50:37,359
and what we actually do, what the
board's responsibil

554
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:41,119
members that have done budget. Um,
and

555
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:46,480
I I can I can understand it being kind
of a daunting

556
00:50:43,599 --> 00:50:51,040
um thought to go through all this. It's
not that bad. Um, I know we're going to

557
00:50:49,359 --> 00:50:54,599
get a lot of questions about our budgets
this year, especially

558
00:50:55,119 --> 00:51:04,800
those bigger budgets. Um, we usually
have a lot of you guys. Um, in the past

559
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:08,480
we've held them all on the same night.
That's up to you guys if you want to

560
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:12,720
separate them out and have them on
separate nights and just deal with one

561
00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:17,680
department at a time if that's easier
for you to commit to different nights.

562
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:20,319
» All night. [laughter]
>> Okay.

563
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:26,079
» As we can see, schedules are difficult.
>> Uh yes. Well, this is this is the

564
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:31,440
problem too. So, what are you guys
looking at for free time in October,

565
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:36,400
November?
We don't have to have anything in stone

566
00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:41,200
until
I'd say December. The public hearing is

567
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:46,800
January.
Um, this is early for the guys and

568
00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:50,559
department heads to get their their
final numbers because a lot of the

569
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:56,559
vendors don't even know what they're
going to charge for their increases this

570
00:51:54,319 --> 00:52:01,160
year. Sometimes it's 3%, sometimes it's
5%. You don't know.

571
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:14,119
due October.
>> So right now we only have the 19th.

572
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:14,119
» So the 19th is the only meeting.

573
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:21,680
» Do we want to look at another day the
week of the 5th or is that too early for

574
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:24,920
departments?
>> The 26th

575
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,359
We could do all this.

576
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:44,000
» Now we're going to do
>> So that would be in the evening here,

577
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:47,599
Kathy.
>> Sorry,

578
00:52:44,319 --> 00:52:51,520
» that would be in the evening here.
>> 26. I have to have some like dental

579
00:52:50,240 --> 00:52:55,960
surgery done that day. I don't know that
I'm going to be very good to be

580
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,960
speaking.

581
00:52:56,786 --> 00:52:58,806
» [laughter]

582
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:07,359
» Um, I could do the if if we want to do a
different day of the week, I could do

583
00:53:04,559 --> 00:53:11,160
Tuesday
>> or Thursday that week,

584
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:20,359
two
week,

585
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,040
29th.

586
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,920
Bang up the budget.
>> Yeah.

587
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:37,480
» All right. Get them get them going.
>> September.

588
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,480
» October 27th.

589
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:42,599
» Okay.
>> Okay.

590
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:50,920
» Okay.
So you could do the 27 and 29.

591
00:53:53,920 --> 00:54:00,440
» Sure.
>> Okay. We could do fire roads on Monday

592
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,440
and then the other

593
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,880
night.

594
00:54:12,767 --> 00:54:21,280
[laughter] What time will we be here on
the 27th for the Tuesday?

595
00:54:18,079 --> 00:54:26,160
» 6:30 or earlier?
>> I can pretty much into the evenings. We

596
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:29,520
want to say like 6.
>> Just give us a little more be here at

597
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,160
11.
>> Yeah. Yeah.

598
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:37,520
» But would if you're coming back on the
28th, does 10:29

599
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:40,920
work for you or

600
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:52,119
Come on, let's go. Right back in it.
Jump back in.

601
00:54:49,119 --> 00:54:52,119
» Yeah.

602
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:58,559
» Yeah. You won't be surprised.
>> Do you want to say 6:00 on the

» So 6 PM on October 27th and October
29th.

605
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:09,160
» Yep.
Do we want to do one of those?

606
00:55:12,079 --> 00:55:18,160
» Because you're only going to have one
select.

607
00:55:15,599 --> 00:55:23,359
» Could we
make it like a other business if needed?

608
00:55:20,559 --> 00:55:28,319
So the things like the tax credits and
all the the little stuff that avoid like

609
00:55:25,839 --> 00:55:31,119
a like a topic discussion. Okay.
>> Like the quicker stuff.

610
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:34,880
» Yeah. But not having anything that's
like the major

00:55:32,559 --> 00:55:38,720
» Yeah. I like that idea.
>> Okay.

612
00:55:36,079 --> 00:55:44,160
» So, I think it's open to the public,
>> let's go, invite everybody. Have a good

613
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:51,760
time. It's a town party,

00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:55,640
» So, 27 36.

00:56:13,288 --> 00:56:15,308
[laughter]

618
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:22,880
» I was joking.
>> I don't think we need to.

619
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:34,200
going to be on the 19th. But if you have
things that need to be signed that don't

620
00:56:30,559 --> 00:56:34,200

for a quick meeting if we needed it.

639
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:36,680
» I can do that because there wasn't
anything that was going to be

640

» So we're putting a hold on 10:13 6 p.m.

» Okay.
>> And that's a potential hold right there.

650
01:00:19,119 --> 01:00:22,000
» That's just in case

651
01:00:23,501 --> 01:00:25,521
» [laughter]

652
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:40,240
» Thank you for that.
>> Would that be a 6:30 typically?

653
01:00:39,599 --> 01:00:43,240
» Okay.
>> Yeah.

654
01:00:43,839 --> 01:00:49,680
So, do we want to look at that budget
process that you put together and make

655
01:00:48,079 --> 01:00:53,920
comments next meeting?
>> Yeah, that would be great to comment

656
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:57,280
about. I just wanted your overall
thoughts.

657
01:00:55,359 --> 01:01:02,480
» I tried not to get too in depth. I mean,
I could have gone. So, I didn't

658
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:08,559
like that.
>> Um, I'll have a little bit of sheets to

659
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:14,000
see if that's even worth it. if it's not
going to be helping with that stuff.

660
01:01:10,319 --> 01:01:19,119
» Um, so if the sheets
are something they'd rather not do,

661
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:23,200
that's fine, too. They want to do a
spreadsheet or something, they don't

662
01:01:21,119 --> 01:01:26,400
have to do this. I just didn't
>> Sometimes everybody submits things

663
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:31,119
differently. [clears throat]
>> So to have something

664
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:35,760
» that you guys can all look at that all
the same. didn't know if that would be

665
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:42,240
easier for you as board to go through
it. I'm trying to think of ways to make

666
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:46,480
it so that it's easier your first time
going through this to look at the

667
01:01:44,559 --> 01:01:50,400
number.
I know you've been through it a couple

668
01:01:48,079 --> 01:01:53,599
times. So, is there anything that you
could think of that would have made

669
01:01:51,599 --> 01:01:58,799
things easier looking at it the first
time

670
01:01:55,920 --> 01:02:03,760
or just is what it is? I think just
knowing where and when we like you can

671
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:07,200
get the detail on some of the line
items. So if it says say office

672
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,359
supplies,
>> yeah,

673
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:13,280
» like the roll up that we get and I we
know we can get that in the

674
01:02:10,319 --> 01:02:16,760
conversations, but having that detail
ready and available,

675
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:26,079
but I also don't want anybody to have to
like recreate their budgeting process or

676
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:31,520
like I don't mind if I have six
different formats of an Excel sheet or

677
01:02:28,079 --> 01:02:31,520
something like I can work with that.

678
01:02:33,599 --> 01:02:38,079
Okay.
>> And then just look at the procedure to

679
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:41,079
see if it makes sense to you.
>> Okay.

680
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:59,359
» Yeah. I think Is there anything else on
our Okay. So, I think we we're done with

681
01:02:56,720 --> 01:03:04,000
our our agenda. Is there something you
were here that you wanted to share?

682
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:07,559
» Are you here for any public comment or
anything in particular?

683
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:15,039
» Can I ask you to stand at the microphone
so that we can hear you and so can the

684
01:03:13,359 --> 01:03:18,880
recording?
>> I'll speak a little louder. My neighbors

685
01:03:17,119 --> 01:03:22,799
looking for variance to put a garage
next to the property and I just wanted

686
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:27,359
to give them some support in case there
was anybody going to vote against it. I

687
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:31,960
think that's the zoning
>> mark

688
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,960
7:30

689
01:03:35,119 --> 01:03:40,400
continue
[laughter]

690
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:42,319
» same same time tomorrow night

693
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:06,960
» and we want to do that those two before
bills and payroll or

694
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,359
» Yeah.
>> Okay.

695
01:04:07,599 --> 01:04:14,960
» Okay.
Um you just need to make a motion. Um,

696
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:20,480
I'd have to put on your copies of the
nonpublic and then on your agendas

697
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:27,359
there's two items that could be under a

698
01:04:23,119 --> 01:04:31,280
one for employee and the other for um
legal advice.

699
01:04:28,559 --> 01:04:37,799
» Okay. Do we can we make one motion or is
it like Okay. So, one motion to go into

700
01:04:33,839 --> 01:04:37,799
