[0:02] Sania well why don't we do it this way they make a motion that we start a 10th

[0:16] of May when you get the new boy to make whatever emotion you want contract still

[0:25] holds a contract binding it's got your signature on it well again if you saw it

[0:28] as an issue you Shinto sunset to be both these if the fluency we can't do

[0:33] anything right but except for the fact that I've offered and renegotiate that

[0:38] contract for a much lower much lower fee so I guess what I understand is you want

[0:44] to create a hierarchy I mean that's where I'm at I'm not trying to putting

[0:52] spruce anybody but you just not come up with any logical reason behind anything

[0:56] because a new board is it going to change the money you're you're really

[1:02] selling to me because I'm not stupid you think you're going to have a different

[1:04] boat but I still not going to change a contract but exist is that it isn't

[1:14] going to change anything why are we moving he doesn't excavation

[1:18] leave it and take the big money

[1:22] so there's continued work nothing case couldn't pay for when he's offered to go

[1:26] ash would be possible to renegotiate that after those changes perhaps yeah I

[1:35] didn't have an intern now you're fine with that and I just basically at this

[1:38] point I'm trying to advantage trying to say privately is that he's one

[1:42] now nope isn't about money honestly right now be honestly I've done this

[1:48] personally between both you guys I was hoping to Jordan I can watch the numbers

[1:52] way back in October and it's not about the money but it is about reputation and

[1:58] I know there's a lot of people trying to destroy mine out there and we damnit

[2:02] from a lot you know because I'm willing to do the work I'm being told by one

[2:07] dollar by one yes I get phone calls from one so I'm stuck and if you want an

[2:12] answer them you guys and then we'll go from there

[2:15] you know especially with a signed contract it's not a character issue 30

[2:27] like I said you can resend the boat that you made to take over soon as duties but

[2:32] the contract is ten hours every other and I know that they were up a little

[2:35] higher but we were kind of watching those numbers to you know there's a lot

[2:39] to do in that contract get something that's work in here well yeah willing to

[2:47] work with it with the town was loving Clearboy so that's a vote to take over

[2:52] students duties is not part of the contract right that was a vote from the

[2:56] board both of you guys did after Christine in Lucknow saw how to fund it

[3:00] so that that is negotiable that is you can rebuild on Mac say nope we don't

[3:07] want you to that's fine to leave a week and a half

[3:13] Christine's headed out to a public at somebody interested in

[3:17] Westerner and get some answers from right I think I should at least be

[3:21] careful that that's what the contract is

[3:26] it works fine enough so he make a motion almost nothing else almost doesn't

[3:40] matter notification still agree that what it is

[3:45] look they're not going to get it today how did you shut it off the second key

[3:52] us out of here and go outside all the time I've been watching meaning the last

[3:57] fifty years old you know what you have now made up your own decision you waited

[4:03] for Christian to tell you are you waited for the next day to go that's done they

[4:07] have oil pastel you you have never had a set wall to make up your own decisions

[4:13] about how you do it I'll leave so you want to throw me out bubblegum

[4:41] as far as I know there will be no meeting next Monday so I will put you up

[4:47] to the election the bracelet would not have needed as we have been doing with

[4:54] or I'll help announce set up the auditorium at the school for the vault

[4:59] and I stay setting up the rules smallest

[5:07] my apologies that this board has had a long ahead on this issue so serious I

[5:14] don't know how to change anything and not upset you and not upset the way

[5:19] things should be

[5:33] cause I'd like to know what your reasoning is behind stopping Ben from

[5:40] continuing for two weeks picking up the selectmen assistant

[5:45] duties at with regards to to property issues because that's what you're doing

[5:50] right the property issues Christopher right so does it yes I just wanted to

[5:55] make sure that I was clear on that I want to know why for two weeks it's an

[5:58] issue money-wise were running time on Highway on highway Ticor over budget was

[6:09] only slightly come in I wanted to have a little money ahead of us he's still got

[6:16] six weeks right yes that's all so my question is this do you feel in your

[6:27] heart that having nobody attending to property issues is going to

[6:32] erase the over budget mistakes on your Highway Department decisions it's not my

[6:46] question do you feel that shorting the people on property DISA property

[6:53] assessment issues is going to help you with your over-budget non-committed non

[7:01] overseen issues with your budget on Highway Department it might or it will

[7:09] have you done the numbers last week before we met with the who's weapon to

[7:18] me you know you got six weeks what we live in big pot is exactly so why not

[7:26] wait two weeks and let them take part in this instead of making a rash decision

[7:30] now and effectively shutting down all paperwork pertaining to property issues

[7:40] if I might say Sonny Bono and I don't know how many times I have been told

[7:49] this in this column we vote every year on the bottom line on all of these visit

[7:58] all of these departments we don't transfer money from one department to

[8:08] another department even if one runs out other than the contingent remember to

[8:16] use exactly exactly my point where I donate night so good on you Mike

[8:25] okay so in and I'll see how I'm done I'm with you why doesn't know I have

[8:31] together but I don't wait go get the money if you don't pay it if you had one

[8:35] in sure it's gonna come out of something else so it happened only thing you can

[8:40] is continuously and since we're on the subject Jordan you got a minute

[8:49] we're not up bring us out of report on as well we don't have every boy tell us

[8:56] why Highland right well very from remember last week they they're going to

[9:03] be business up yes how I'm goes to the public energy helping fish of the year

[9:07] so I thought I hope you vote initially was moving that last April

[9:13] glad to fish of the year and since this is a lot of active meeting before the

[9:19] town meeting I'm going to make a motion - it's a ordinance we need to move a

[9:25] salmon College it's there every interval to 23,000 24,000 is also among

[9:31] difference so I'm going to make that motion

[9:35] I got a second all right talk about the openness for a short discussion they

[9:43] have a problem here and everywhere

[9:46] so I'd like to know if what you're seeing right this minute is that we are

[9:50] 23,000 dollars give or take because we still have six weeks over budget with

[9:55] our highway department understand that bills yeah come in and stuff it has

[10:00] nobody knows it so that's why I said give or take news sources - Jordan are

[10:07] we over budget on our highway department as a right now is not over yet how close

[10:12] now everybody knows it's clearly going to over so I think that they can make

[10:17] was we paid a lot of people so on out of our Lee was in Jersey bar and I mean

[10:23] they talked to Tommy I talked to Tommy the goal is not to spend a whole thing

[10:28] three dozen dollars obviously to be a better not the cover you know there's

[10:31] one google-able they have to be in here this is why I have to be taken care of

[10:35] the row fishes Valerie's done those here the people

[10:39] would have to be busy yeah I understand that and I'm not against any of it I

[10:45] just want to know where our Highway Department I stitch right now without

[10:52] moving so if you move this last storm 23,000 out of contingency then he

[10:58] effectively has another twenty six thousand dollars operating budget for

[11:02] six weeks do we need him to have twenty six thousand dollars for six weeks worth

[11:08] of work goals often twenty thousand dollars that that is not the goal you

[11:17] don't have to keep explaining it what I'm asking is could they effectively

[11:20] move half of excuse me but I was in the middle of asking a question could you

[11:26] effectively move half of that dollar amount over and not a full $26,000

[11:31] mm-hmm what we have without meeting in this without slepen in a meeting

[11:44] we have separately talked with Jordan we'd all know what its cost where the

[11:51] highways without understanding we know we do believe that that's what it needs

[11:57] to 23,000 to get through the rest of the year without problems

[12:04] and so we chosen to do this well you agree disagree whatever how voice my

[12:11] disagreement has one well I didn't ask for you I know you didn't I didn't say

[12:16] you don't stop now okay hmm I'm gonna finish the vote anybody

[12:23] know why didn't the freshest if that money goes into that pound in a saucepan

[12:31] it reverses back reverse back to the general funds restriction what I was

[12:39] going to do is book books loan to contingency so either way at the end of

[12:44] the year whatever it's not use this know that automatically whether comes out of

[12:48] here whether for that highway still going back okay so very disappears

[12:53] I would hope that in light of the fact that we are we shouldn't be assurance we

[12:59] are but we are that we're going to take a close look on the spending and that

[13:04] all in year we need would be all I need all I question every just important I

[13:09] think that also I was a $93,000 taught in the highway voted for next year so we

[13:16] were to definitely have to look at a good luck applause thank you everyone

[13:24] [Music]

[13:29] and I would spend more than a motion made and decided I'm going to move

[13:38] now on holiday upon contingency yeah together I work as a yes vote a mistake

[13:54] in imposing I don't want to see out-of-towner in trouble either you

[14:07] asked me not to comment again so please don't look at me cuz I want to you did

[14:15] then I had my say a year ago you handed the highway department additional monies

[14:22] in the amount of 28 thousand dollars which was savings from the back home he

[14:28] overspent he spent that he also spent over that he went over budget even

[14:33] excuse me with the additional $28,000 okay I shouldn't say he the highway

[14:40] department spent that or more we need to stop now the person needs to be here to

[14:50] be able to find themselves can't get him into a meeting fathers well whatever

[14:55] he's not happy about that one no I don't let's just drop it okay

[15:01] well everybody knows the story and it's nothing to go over to family no but it

[15:07] didn't stop him from it didn't stop the board from handing the highway

[15:12] department another 23,000 business moves of the cross be no deal

[15:18] at hand all I need you a hostage or coupe now not less it's an executive

[15:27] session there were papers that were in a basket in there they hit them on the

[15:36] table they have one up under there whilst I knew they were there

[15:44] this okay I didn't know what changed something okay Neal and there are notes

[15:55] that should be there pertaining to minutes that Christine for because no

[16:05] one else was available to take those notes there has to be information in

[16:12] there that volumes Oh matters that have come before town

[16:19] they're not being pulled up you might I don't know if you could print I have

[16:27] anyone ask myself to look into it but a little has extremely important you think

[16:36] the fuel is got to be something in the others really protocol

[16:41] I had to stood it yes if you looked into some that what was in the air and what

[16:48] wasn't

[16:53] the only thing that was I don't know that was medicine man there is yeah it's

[17:10] my pretty good deal with what you what she has to do without me that the

[17:14] equipment one pain knocked out and we're not saying that it was no concern we

[17:20] went we've also gone to a hard time with a lack of personnel everything we've

[17:26] also done an election present this I'm sorry I forgetting him start with you

[17:39] first thing I want to say second thing I want to say is that the I have had some

[17:44] issues you've asked me to write them on a formal complaint and you told me that

[17:48] we would have an executive session with regards to those formal complaints I I

[17:54] gave you the use so you force me to write it and I told you if you were

[17:58] going to force me to write it you did you told me you wouldn't discuss it

[18:02] without it being on paper it's on paper and I told you I didn't want to put it

[18:06] in anybody's fire but if you were making me how are you saying let me ask you a

[18:10] question how are you saying you wanted a session for this yeah I am because I
