1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:09,240
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming. I am Dr. Bruce Perry. I will be your chair for the

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:09,680
evening.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,600
Mr. Bryant is competing in the Ironman competition and will not be joining us. I'm sure we wish him

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,840
the best of luck. Please join me for the Pledge of allegiance.

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:30,480
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it

6
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:36,540
stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

7
00:00:42,460 --> 00:00:49,620
Are there any adjustments to the agenda? I just have a few dollar corrections on the payroll

8
00:00:49,620 --> 00:00:52,540
warrant, but we can do those when we get down there. Okay.

9
00:00:54,620 --> 00:00:57,100
I had written down the wrong numbers on the COVID sheet.

10
00:01:00,620 --> 00:01:06,720
Very well. We'll see that when it comes we a public hearing. So we will move to approval of the

11
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,240
minutes.

12
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,000
I did not see anything out of place.

13
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:25,560
No, I'm fine with it. Move to approve the minutes for August 14, 2026.

14
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,440
I second

15
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,320
all those in fav.

16
00:01:36,980 --> 00:01:41,380
And now I will yield the floor to Mr. Paul Bennett. Thank you.

17
00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:49,940
Hi, my name is Paul Bennett. I work with Hodonna and Associates. We act as the assessor's agents.

18
00:01:50,020 --> 00:01:52,340
These are your assessors? Most of them.

19
00:01:54,420 --> 00:02:02,180
Over the past year we've done our assessing work and we've arrived at our figures to set the tax

20
00:02:02,180 --> 00:02:13,440
rate for 2026. In front of you, I three different options for tax rates. Last year our tax rate was

21
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:23,879
$12.70 per thousand. Historically, if we have enough funds in our undesignated fund balance, the

22
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:32,000
town has always historically opted to use some of those funds to keep the tax rate low. So depending

23
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,060
on how much funds the board chooses to remove from the undesignated fund balance would be depend on

24
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:50,740
the increase level of our tax rate. If the board chooses to remove $400,000 from the undesignated

25
00:02:50,740 --> 00:03:01,180
fund balance, our tax rate will go up about 15 cents to $12.85. Per thousand? Yes, sir. Per thousand

26
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:02,940
at the bottom of the sheet.

27
00:03:04,780 --> 00:03:10,700
So that means that a person with a $150,000 house with

28
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:20,600
their taxes would increase about $18.75. And if you had a $250,000 house, you'd increase by about

29
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:28,920
$33.75. And if you had A $350,000 house, it would go up by $48.78.

30
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:41,680
If our assessors chose to remove 300,000, the tax rate would increase from 1270 to 1310, which would

31
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:50,020
be about a 40 difference. The differences at the bottom of the page that I calculated for each

32
00:03:50,020 --> 00:03:58,980
taxpayer would be about 50 bucks. For a taxpayer with a $150,000 home, $90 for a person with a

33
00:03:58,980 --> 00:04:06,660
$250,000 home, and $130 for a person with a $350,000 home.

34
00:04:08,260 --> 00:04:13,780
If the board chose to just remove $200,000 from the UNDES,

35
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:28,400
the tax rate would go up about 65 cents, leaving the increases of $81.75 for a $150,000 home,

36
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:42,640
$146.25 for a $250,000 home, or a increase of $211 for a person with a $350,000 home.

37
00:04:47,180 --> 00:04:53,100
The biggest question is how much? Can we safely crunch in the numbers? Can we safely use this? For

38
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:53,420
me,

39
00:04:55,740 --> 00:05:02,860
I'm not privy to the inner workings of your undesignated fund balance, but I was guided by the

40
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:12,300
auditor's recommendation from Kerry. So if I could ask Kerry to explain that, please. He said,

41
00:05:12,460 --> 00:05:23,640
comfortably, we can take out 2, 400. How much is, in that unfunded balance account? We don't know. We don't have the 26 audit complete

42
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:23,960
yet,

43
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:33,320
but based on the revenues and expenses that we've recorded to date, it's. It's adequate. If we don't

44
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:39,800
know how much is in it, then how do we know how much we can take out? Again, based on the revenues

45
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,970
and expenses and prior audit years, there's adequate funds in there.

46
00:05:47,450 --> 00:05:48,650
I don't understand that.

47
00:05:50,810 --> 00:05:57,169
I just don't understand that. Last year, Will, you and I were very much on the same page about how

48
00:05:57,169 --> 00:05:59,210
much to take out. But

49
00:06:01,050 --> 00:06:04,730
I want to say that this decision,

50
00:06:06,250 --> 00:06:13,840
and I wish Jeff was here, but this decision is incredibly important because

51
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:25,920
many of us in this town are still reeling from the recent assessment and the uptick in the amount of

52
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:33,480
taxes, the increase in taxes that we've had, that we've had to pay, not having had an assessment for

53
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,160
so many years,

54
00:06:36,860 --> 00:06:45,940
this decision will affect every resident of Livermore Falls, whether you are a property tax, a

55
00:06:45,940 --> 00:06:47,340
property owner or not.

56
00:06:48,940 --> 00:06:56,140
You know, I'm a property owner. John is a property owner. John owns several properties. Will is not

57
00:06:56,140 --> 00:06:58,620
a property owner, but his landlord is.

58
00:07:00,460 --> 00:07:02,260
So every increase

59
00:07:03,780 --> 00:07:15,980
is going to play a role in everybody's bottom line. So we need to consider this very carefully. I

60
00:07:15,980 --> 00:07:27,460
know which one I prefer, but I'm open to hearing other people's thoughts. Mr. Binet, in the board's

61
00:07:27,460 --> 00:07:28,020
defense,

62
00:07:29,610 --> 00:07:37,530
the board has very little control over a lot of the spending that increased in the town. And at the

63
00:07:37,530 --> 00:07:46,130
very top of the page, you could see the comparative county tax from 25 to 26, where the county tax

64
00:07:46,130 --> 00:07:57,210
has increased about $30,000. The school tax has increased 120, approximately $128,000. And town,

65
00:07:58,770 --> 00:08:05,730
if I say town spending 152,000, I'm going to kind of go on a limb and say a lot of that is

66
00:08:07,330 --> 00:08:09,890
insurance for our employees.

67
00:08:12,290 --> 00:08:19,290
I don't think like we're buying new things. I think from the tax rates that I've said in other

68
00:08:19,290 --> 00:08:26,370
municipalities, it's the, a lot of these are the costs of just having employees. Maybe Kerry can

69
00:08:26,370 --> 00:08:35,370
shine some light on that. You're exactly right. It's, it's cost. We, we can't. I believe your budget

70
00:08:35,370 --> 00:08:38,250
committee nickel and dimes this thing,

71
00:08:39,770 --> 00:08:43,130
municipal spending. Oh, no, I know. I'm on that committee.

72
00:08:45,130 --> 00:08:45,930
That's okay.

73
00:08:47,850 --> 00:08:54,140
That's all I wanted to say. And John, this year, lucky John gets to be on the Budget Committee, too,

74
00:08:54,140 --> 00:09:02,740
by being a member of the board. Lucky you, man. I'm fortunate. Things like that. Bruce, could I say

75
00:09:02,740 --> 00:09:08,740
something? Yes, Mr. Long. Well, being the chair of the Budget Committee, I believe the last audit

76
00:09:08,740 --> 00:09:14,100
showed an unfunded designated undesignated fund balance of a couple of million dollars, if I'm not

77
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:19,920
mistaken. And the year before last, we had excess revenue over what we had budgeted. We spent less

78
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,880
than what we had projected. So we had an excess in terms of the positive and the revenue variance

79
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:31,520
and the negative or whatever than the expense which you guys used to reduce the taxes. Basically,

80
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:37,160
the difference in there, that excess revenue from the revenue and the expenses is what you use to

81
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:43,320
bring forward each year because you can't do it precisely. You can't project the revenue precisely.

82
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,320
And sometimes you don't spend all the money. And last year the same thing occurred. The revenue was

83
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:55,720
over budget, the expenses were under budget, which produced another overage, which is what the

84
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:02,160
auditor and I believe the town manager is referring to in terms of the 200, 300 and $400,000 that

85
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:07,840
you can take and apply. That's money that we've collected, we haven't spent. So that contributed and

86
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:13,770
added to the undesignated fund balance. And the undesignated fund balance is just money sitting

87
00:10:13,770 --> 00:10:18,130
there. The question is, how do you want to use it? Do you want to have it sit in a checking account

88
00:10:18,450 --> 00:10:23,090
or a savings account, or do you want to take it and apply it to. And give it back to the citizens,

89
00:10:23,090 --> 00:10:29,450
which is where you took it from to begin with, to the prior tax rate? That's basically it in a

90
00:10:29,450 --> 00:10:35,650
nutshell. I'm glad you spoke because at one point I was Going to call on members of the Budget

91
00:10:35,650 --> 00:10:37,810
committee for their input. So thank you.

92
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:45,280
How do you feel? What do you think? Personally? I mean last year we went with the lower amount

93
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:51,320
because we were cautioned that it wasn't a good idea to go with the full 400,000. If we are being

94
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:57,440
told that we have the money, it's there, it's a good number. I am off to giving it back to the full

95
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:05,890
400,000 back to lower the taxes as much as possible. Not lower, but offset. Yeah, minimize. So John,

96
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:15,130
so I agree with using the max amount we can. I'm just a bit nervous because we don't, I don't have a

97
00:11:15,130 --> 00:11:17,010
number how much is actually there.

98
00:11:22,530 --> 00:11:23,570
What I've seen

99
00:11:25,810 --> 00:11:31,810
in some Excel spreadsheets that there is a lot of spending coming up next year and following year

100
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,040
and where will that money come from.

101
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:44,800
And then the idea it doesn't lower our taxes. It just means we're taking from

102
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:56,760
sort of a rainy day fund to help offset the current tax rate. Which you know, I think sometimes is

103
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,350
misleading to people if you know, the citizens, they see that oh, the taxes are not so bad this

104
00:12:01,350 --> 00:12:06,430
year. But an understatement. I think the town is doing a decent job with keeping the spending down.

105
00:12:06,430 --> 00:12:11,390
It's, you know, the county, the school, other things,

106
00:12:13,070 --> 00:12:19,070
it's going up but you know, the citizens are looking at us to keep the spending down where we can

107
00:12:19,070 --> 00:12:24,590
and I think we're doing a good job with that. I just want would like to know how much is actually in

108
00:12:24,590 --> 00:12:29,830
there. You know, if it's two or three million dollars and. Yeah, no problem. Let's, let's do the

109
00:12:29,830 --> 00:12:32,310
full bout even. Could we do more? But

110
00:12:34,070 --> 00:12:44,230
that's just my, my concern there. Well then I having hearing that I would like to move that we set

111
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:45,270
the tax rate

112
00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:52,830
for the 400,000 with the tax rate

113
00:12:52,830 --> 00:12:56,830
at.0.01285.

114
00:13:00,670 --> 00:13:03,710
I'll second. All those in favor?

115
00:13:06,030 --> 00:13:11,310
All those abstaining? No, it's not that I don't disagree with you, it's just because I don't. I

116
00:13:11,310 --> 00:13:19,550
understand, I understand. So the mill rate has been, I mean mill rates. The tax rate has been set at

117
00:13:20,590 --> 00:13:28,990
0.01285 with $400,000 being taken from the undesignated fund balance.

118
00:13:33,950 --> 00:13:41,270
Thank you. Just. Thank you. Mr. Bennett. May, may I get four signature? Four signatures from each of

119
00:13:41,270 --> 00:13:44,050
you please. The papers. Thank you. Jump.

120
00:13:45,970 --> 00:13:50,930
There's 1, 2, 3 and 4.

121
00:13:54,050 --> 00:13:59,170
What are we even signing? This is the commitment paper. The commitment paper.

122
00:14:02,690 --> 00:14:03,650
It's a Good question.

123
00:14:05,810 --> 00:14:11,570
I mean, he's a very nice man, but, you know, nice people hand you things to sign and you should ask

124
00:14:11,570 --> 00:14:14,930
what they're getting you to sign just to be on the safe side.

125
00:14:17,220 --> 00:14:25,460
We saw what, 1, 2, 3, 4 signatures total from each assessor. Which spot? This page has two, and each

126
00:14:25,460 --> 00:14:41,860
page here has two spots. So. All four spots. Yes, sir. Please, feel free to talk amongst yourselves.

127
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,240
Many of you are going to realize by the end of this why it's not a good idea for Bruce to be the

128
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,040
chair of the board.

129
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,960
So far I disagree.

130
00:15:18,650 --> 00:15:19,690
Vampire. Why,

131
00:15:21,930 --> 00:15:29,530
Ms. Document Manager. Yes, sir. When do the bills go out? They so will. I was gonna say within 10

132
00:15:29,530 --> 00:15:30,730
days. Within 10 days.

133
00:15:33,370 --> 00:15:39,920
So Paul and company will do their magic behind the scenes tomorrow to generate the file that Doris

134
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,560
will send to high grade. And.

135
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:54,680
The first payment due date that October 1st. October 1st? Yeah, October 1st and April 1st, they were

136
00:15:54,680 --> 00:16:04,480
set at town meeting with an interest rate of 7%. 7.5 last year.

137
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,280
It. About two years ago. Two years ago? Yeah.

138
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,680
You can do a windage? Kind of. Okay.

139
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,200
Less than that.

140
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,920
I haven't taken the time to do that yet. I'm waiting for some information

141
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,160
to do that. To get a ball card. There's more than

142
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,320
the key. Is that designated unbalanced?

143
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:57,720
You are most welcome. Thank you. Excused. Of course. Good to see you, Colonel.

144
00:17:05,390 --> 00:17:14,550
Moving on. We are. We have the procurement policy update and a preferred vendor list. And my

145
00:17:14,550 --> 00:17:22,750
question is, does this cover everybody or just the wastewater treatment plan? This covers everybody.

146
00:17:22,830 --> 00:17:27,790
Because I'm thinking we really should have one that's inclusive all the way across

147
00:17:27,870 --> 00:17:35,570
because it will come up in future requests. So it would be nice to have a comprehensive one for the

148
00:17:35,570 --> 00:17:36,250
entire town.

149
00:17:38,810 --> 00:17:40,730
So we. Because I

150
00:17:42,250 --> 00:17:50,610
started a list and I have circulated it, and then I went through our vendor list in our database and

151
00:17:50,610 --> 00:17:54,940
I pulled a few more. So that's. That's why it's three pages. So

152
00:17:56,940 --> 00:18:05,020
a lot of the vendors we use don't trigger the amounts that require even three quotes. But for

153
00:18:05,340 --> 00:18:09,420
safety's sake, I figured let's get them approved or preferred.

154
00:18:11,660 --> 00:18:20,300
So with that list. Sorry, go ahead. Was there any criteria that was applied? You know, certain

155
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:27,900
vendors, maybe they could offer discounts, certain preferred rates. And some of the larger

156
00:18:27,900 --> 00:18:34,580
contractors, the insurances and all the things that are required to work for the town. And granted,

157
00:18:34,580 --> 00:18:42,620
understandably that, yes, they worked in the past, but is there a record of their insurance and all

158
00:18:42,620 --> 00:18:50,000
that stuff that can actually be applied that makes it a truly preferred vendor list? I look at this

159
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:58,600
as more of just a previous vendor used list. So much without any real criteria set to it. Any

160
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,240
contractor on the list does provide insurance certificates to us.

161
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:10,120
Motor Supply is not going to give us an insurance certificate. We buy stuff from them almost every

162
00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:19,130
day. That's, you know, that was the criteria. It's the vendors we use consistently and regularly and

163
00:19:19,130 --> 00:19:23,370
90% of them are local. They live within the three towns

164
00:19:25,050 --> 00:19:26,650
I've seen where

165
00:19:29,130 --> 00:19:35,330
you have like suppliers, like Motor Supply. Yes, they're a supplier. You know, there's others,

166
00:19:35,330 --> 00:19:40,810
there's Napa and there's a bunch of them. You know, it would be kind of nice if the list actually

167
00:19:40,810 --> 00:19:48,550
showed or to identify, you know, they offer 10% discount or delivery to the shop or something. Just

168
00:19:48,550 --> 00:19:49,270
so there's

169
00:19:51,510 --> 00:19:55,830
something that always can sort of be tied to and then, you know, for the larger vendors or

170
00:19:55,990 --> 00:19:56,870
contractors.

171
00:19:58,390 --> 00:20:04,230
Yeah, just something that. Couldn't that information be gathered when we set, put out for bids

172
00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:09,430
and just get their information on their

173
00:20:10,950 --> 00:20:14,290
insurance, their, you know, preferred

174
00:20:15,890 --> 00:20:21,650
discount or whatever. Wouldn't we get that information when we put it out to bid or could consult

175
00:20:21,650 --> 00:20:29,250
them if they were to respond to a bid that we put out as a municipality. They all treat us really

176
00:20:29,250 --> 00:20:40,590
well anyway. Most of these guys don't offer discounts. You know, it's not like a regular consumer, I

177
00:20:40,590 --> 00:20:46,230
would imagine. We are probably on their preferred client list too.

178
00:20:48,790 --> 00:20:50,950
They wouldn't want to do anything to lose us.

179
00:20:53,830 --> 00:20:59,110
Most of what we need to talk about when we do our policy update is what triggers the use of this

180
00:20:59,110 --> 00:21:07,260
list over, you know, going out to bid. You know, I mean, I suppose that's up to us, but it also

181
00:21:07,260 --> 00:21:11,620
should be that our preferred choice is to go out to the bidding process.

182
00:21:13,220 --> 00:21:18,860
But what is actually going to trigger going with one of these, you know, like what the criteria

183
00:21:18,860 --> 00:21:24,700
might be. I think that for a good conversation for later when we do our policy update and then you

184
00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:30,140
know, as well as how do the people come on and off the list, you know, what's it take to change the

185
00:21:30,140 --> 00:21:34,340
list, all that good stuff. Does this require

186
00:21:36,340 --> 00:21:42,920
any action you need to approve it if you so choose. I would like to move, I would like to move to

187
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:52,640
approve the preferred vendor list that we had with what will has said to be taken into consideration

188
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,400
when these people are

189
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,320
contacted or put out to bid.

190
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,920
One other thing to just the way that I understand it from the procurement policy, the preferred

191
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,200
vendor list is simply

192
00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:20,660
a list that shows of vendors that, you know, qualify to either supply goods and services or goods or

193
00:22:20,660 --> 00:22:28,100
services. Right. So you've got an engineering firm or mechanical firm that can lay plumbing pipes or

194
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:35,500
whatever it is sort of thing. So without going out, having to vet a particular supplier or vendor

195
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:36,460
every single time,

196
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:46,040
the particular area manager would come to Kerry and say, hey, we need a mechanical contractor. Cary,

197
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:52,360
if you go to this list, mechanical contractors, here's three of them. I'm going to send them a quick

198
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:54,800
email. Please give us a quote asap.

199
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:03,920
They come back, depending on the price range, right? So that's the 5,000, $10,000, which needs to be

200
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:10,060
a sealed bid. They come back in an email, same day or a phone call, say, yep, we come in tomorrow,

201
00:23:10,060 --> 00:23:19,540
do it for X dollars. You know, you get the replies. That's good. Then it goes into the process. For

202
00:23:19,540 --> 00:23:27,620
the $10,000 bid that actually goes out, they send via a sealed sort of envelope that gets opened

203
00:23:27,620 --> 00:23:34,580
during a public meeting. So again, the preferred vendor list is just who we would go to. It doesn't

204
00:23:34,580 --> 00:23:41,600
circumvent the actual procurement process. And then nowadays with email and phone calls, it' you

205
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,960
know, it's so fast, you send an email, hey, we need a quote for this. Please get back to us asap.

206
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:47,400
And understandably,

207
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:55,720
you know, it's a small town, we kind of know everybody. But, you know, during a particular period,

208
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:03,000
maybe one. One contractor is in between jobs and he can come in, or that contractor could come in

209
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:10,280
tomorrow and offer a better price than the other guy that you used last time because he has four

210
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:16,500
jobs ahead of him. So I think that's all that I'm trying to encourage with this type of approach is

211
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:23,260
let's just make sure we fill it in the guys that have the space between jobs, not just relying on

212
00:24:23,260 --> 00:24:28,860
one, right? Because if he's got five jobs ahead of him, he's like, yeah, I'm gonna bid these guys,

213
00:24:28,860 --> 00:24:34,580
I'm gonna just bid high, you know, because I don't really want the job, you know, and that happens.

214
00:24:34,580 --> 00:24:38,100
I mean, we all know contractors that's like, yeah, I don't want that job. I'm gonna build it high.

215
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:42,220
And then you end up having them anyway, because I like the work they do. And that would be the

216
00:24:42,220 --> 00:24:48,200
executive decision that we could make. No, we know these guys. So even though it's a little bit

217
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,160
more, we choose to pay that. And that's all I'm trying to make out of this. I'm not trying to be a

218
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:58,560
jerk and making it complicated or extend, you know, make it more complex. You're making valid

219
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,960
points, John. Just you are policy. And the way I See,

220
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:10,000
we didn't have a second on that before the discussion started. I'm going to. I'm going to.

221
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:20,240
Make a new motion. Since there was no second, I'm going to make a new motion that we accept the.

222
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:26,960
That we accept this as the preferred vendor list. Seconded. All those in favor?

223
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:31,840
Motion carried.

224
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,240
Ah, road closure.

225
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,990
I am going to defer to the Colonel.

226
00:25:43,900 --> 00:25:50,780
Thank you. I'm going to. Chief, Abe wouldn't leave without his gun, and so I'm gonna put on my gun.

227
00:25:52,140 --> 00:25:58,420
Okay? All right. Good afternoon. I'm Colonel Mitchell, the retired United States Army. We've asked

228
00:25:58,420 --> 00:26:06,500
for a road closure for the recognition day of recognition for the 81,000 veterans that have not come

229
00:26:06,500 --> 00:26:13,740
home yet. Our job is not done. And every year we. You all have supported. You know, it's going to be

230
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:20,040
J Memorial at Raleigh Road, and we invite you all. Number one. Chief, you've already gotten your

231
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,400
invitation. Town manager, of course, I would like to hear from you that you'll be in one of the

232
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:31,080
front rows, etc. In addition to that, this hat. This hat right here says that we were all state.

233
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,440
That we were one of the best units in this state. That was

234
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:43,160
24, 25 this year. We're all American, okay? We're on the. We're one of the top units in the United

235
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:48,980
States of America. This little picture little town, okay? With no deference to the word

236
00:26:48,980 --> 00:26:56,500
, okay? So the whole point is it doesn't happen automatically. It happens because of you, each

237
00:26:56,500 --> 00:27:05,940
one of you in the room. We put over $200,000 into the VFW post in Jay, and I want to see everybody

238
00:27:05,940 --> 00:27:13,880
there. We have all kind of assortments every week, from cribbage to trivia to a multitude of other

239
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:22,520
things. So we've gotten the permission. The motorcycle bikeless veterans will bring the flag from

240
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:29,760
Turner, and we've talked with Chief and they'll bring it down to the bridge. We need from the bridge

241
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:36,800
to the J Line. And from the J Line, I've talked to and gotten the selectman's approval to go from

242
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:45,600
the J line to the memorial at Wrigley and Route 4. So that's the essence of the request. And we had

243
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:56,200
to come as we did for Jay. We're here to ask your permission to do so. And that all the offices,

244
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:03,760
from Andrew Scarpin to Franklin to Jay Livermore, they all cooperate. They all know many of them are

245
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:09,310
veterans themselves. Many of you in this room may well be veterans. And that's why we want you as if

246
00:28:09,310 --> 00:28:16,830
you have A family member that has served in a foreign war. We want you now auxiliary. We had Donna

247
00:28:16,830 --> 00:28:23,829
Wills. Donna Wills that was supposed to come and fly in today at 11 o'. Clock. She is the President

248
00:28:24,070 --> 00:28:34,350
of the VFW Auxiliary for the nation. And she is. She was. Her flight was canceled or something. She

249
00:28:34,350 --> 00:28:41,110
didn't get. Get here at that time. But we are having an appreciation day tomorrow from 4 to 7pm and

250
00:28:41,110 --> 00:28:48,710
that's. That's like to see each one of you. Each one of you there to. To show. To look at what we've

251
00:28:48,710 --> 00:28:54,470
created. And you've created because it doesn't happen. It takes. Takes every last one of us to make

252
00:28:54,470 --> 00:29:01,470
this happen. So that's my request to put the. To get the road closure and the selectman's approval.

253
00:29:02,190 --> 00:29:07,120
When does this take place? 18th, 18th of September. 1800 hour.

254
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,880
Might be hard of hearing, so I want to step close to you and make sure. No, I'm not hard of hearing,

255
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:24,600
but thank you. Okay, good. It was September 6th. I heard you, but you scared me. 18th 1 to 8. 18. I

256
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:31,520
like to have that effect on the chairman. And at 6pm At 6pm that's 1800. 1800 hours. Yes, that's. We

257
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:37,000
were just talking before all this military time. I am the son of a veteran all the way back to the

258
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:42,840
Revolutionary War. Okay. So I'm familiar with military time. Big time. Then we want you to be a

259
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:49,880
member of the 3,335 Veterans of Foreign Wars. So I'm going to personally put your name in as the

260
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,520
person that we would like to have with us. Well, thank you.

261
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,840
I'll wait for the results. You might refuse me.

262
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,900
When it comes to anything having to do with veterans, you will never get a refusal from me.

263
00:30:09,940 --> 00:30:20,540
Did everybody get that? It's September 18th at 6pm at the VFW in Jay. No, it's not. It's at the

264
00:30:20,540 --> 00:30:28,880
memorial in Wrigley Road and Route 4. Route 4 and Wrigley Road. Thank you for that. I'm sorry. Right

265
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,280
next to Ski Depot. Okie dokie.

266
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:43,120
All righty. Thank you very much. Okay, is that. Is that approved or do you need a motion or. No, if

267
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:49,120
this was for information. Information only. Okay. There isn't. There isn't a person in this room I'm

268
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,560
pretty sure that would stand in your way to deny this. Yes. Mark,

269
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,720
thank you very much. You're very welcome for your service tomorrow. Appreciate the day.

270
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:06,400
The reason you don't need to approve it is it's not a full road closure like the parade. It's Just,

271
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:12,560
you know, maybe a three or five minute. I'm just gonna hold everybody at the light so the. The

272
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:17,840
procession can get through in one. One unit instead of having to wait. Yeah. We have one to maybe

273
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,040
hopefully 50 bikers coming through. When they go down, down. And they. At Crash road, they turn

274
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:28,040
around and they pass the flag off. And I'm the master of ceremony, so I'll try to look nice and

275
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:33,960
pretty. Okay. All right. And Tomorrow's at the BFW. Tomorrow? Tomorrow's at the BFW. Yes, tomorrow's

276
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:42,040
appreciation day at the BFW starting at 4. 4 o', clock, but 1600. Okay. All right. So indeed, thank

277
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,120
you very much. See you all tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you. Out.

278
00:31:48,730 --> 00:31:56,970
Wow. Okay. Moving on to warrants, abatements, deeds, and quit claims.

279
00:31:58,650 --> 00:32:03,690
So, like I said, I did write down the wrong numbers on the COVID sheets for the payroll warrants. So

280
00:32:03,690 --> 00:32:20,740
payroll number 32 is actually $40,746.90. 40,746. 746.90. 90. Number 33 is actually

281
00:32:20,900 --> 00:32:28,420
$28,056.12. That's 2805-6.12.

282
00:32:30,020 --> 00:32:40,980
And number 34 is actually $40,753.44. 4075. 3.44.

283
00:32:46,100 --> 00:32:53,700
All righty, then. I would like to move that we approve payroll warrant number 31.

284
00:32:55,380 --> 00:32:56,980
That one hasn't changed, right?

285
00:32:59,220 --> 00:33:02,020
40,700. Wait a minute.

286
00:33:05,630 --> 00:33:10,110
I have number 31. I have $40,746.90.

287
00:33:13,550 --> 00:33:20,110
I think we did 31 last time. I think I just didn't change the number. I think that one is 32. Okay.

288
00:33:20,190 --> 00:33:26,030
Yeah. Then I move that we approve Payroll warrant number 32 at

289
00:33:26,030 --> 00:33:32,580
$40,746.90. Number 33 at

290
00:33:32,580 --> 00:33:39,340
$28,056.92. And number 34 at

291
00:33:39,340 --> 00:33:43,180
$40,753.44.

292
00:33:47,020 --> 00:33:50,780
Is there a second? Second. All those in favor,

293
00:33:54,700 --> 00:34:02,380
Is there any changes to the general warrant? There is warrant number eight. We did get word that the

294
00:34:03,580 --> 00:34:09,500
patrol. The new patrol vehicle is in Massachusetts and should be here either the end of this week or

295
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:17,900
next week. So I did ask Rebecca to add that as well as a couple other little invoices that came in.

296
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:19,340
So that new amount is

297
00:34:19,660 --> 00:34:23,350
$372,607.

298
00:34:25,500 --> 00:34:25,660
So

299
00:34:25,660 --> 00:34:29,660
372-60-7.07.

300
00:34:34,540 --> 00:34:40,100
Then I will also move that we accept general fund warrant number six for

301
00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:46,740
$35,742.91. Number seven at

302
00:34:46,740 --> 00:34:58,980
$14,117.92. I have a question about this one. Number eight. Okay, let me. Number eight. $372,607 and

303
00:34:58,980 --> 00:35:03,620
07 cents. Oh, we need a second.

304
00:35:05,620 --> 00:35:08,660
Five, seven before discussion. Oh, okay.

305
00:35:10,180 --> 00:35:15,980
Well, if there's a second, then it kind of bypasses my discussion because it's a question about. I

306
00:35:15,980 --> 00:35:23,210
see that a 45,000 or something at Bailey Brothers Ford. I thought it was for that. It is. It's for

307
00:35:23,210 --> 00:35:24,090
the new cruiser.

308
00:35:26,650 --> 00:35:34,370
We ordered it this summer. Early summer. Late spring. Yep. Right. I remember that part of it. So the

309
00:35:34,370 --> 00:35:41,850
cruisers in. It's in Massachusetts on its way. What was that bill at Bowens for? That was for. That

310
00:35:41,850 --> 00:35:44,020
was. Was for the car. We haven't paid for it yet.

311
00:35:47,060 --> 00:35:54,220
All right. It's just. It's like 45,000, I think. Yeah, but then this is for 300,000, right? That's

312
00:35:54,220 --> 00:35:59,980
the. The big fat warrant that's there. That has all. Oh, the whole package. The whole package. Is

313
00:35:59,980 --> 00:36:03,060
there a second? Second. All those in favor?

314
00:36:06,420 --> 00:36:12,130
And now we have abatements, quick claim deeds and supplements. We were handed a.

315
00:36:13,810 --> 00:36:24,930
An explanation of. For the abatements and all the. All the things that go with it. I would like to

316
00:36:24,930 --> 00:36:31,690
move that we approve the abatement. These are all abatements, are they not? Correct. I would like to

317
00:36:31,690 --> 00:36:43,740
move to approve all of the. The abatements. U2,342 in the amount of $50. U260 for 4152. U2,203 for

318
00:36:43,740 --> 00:36:47,340
$100. Just clarification. It's U.T.

319
00:36:49,500 --> 00:36:59,580
i'm sorry? It's U.T. i know. What did I say? U2. I'm sorry. U.T. 203. U.T. 60. U.T. 342.

320
00:37:02,060 --> 00:37:06,980
Is there a second? Second. I'll second. All those in favor?

321
00:37:11,060 --> 00:37:12,260
Board discussion.

322
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:23,260
John, I have a quick one that I would like to apologize to Chief Roux for the last meeting. When I

323
00:37:23,260 --> 00:37:30,300
like that report that you presented. I think that was really great for us and the town to see and I

324
00:37:30,300 --> 00:37:36,910
hope you can continue to do that. So I really appreciate that. That. Thank you, sir. That's it.

325
00:37:37,070 --> 00:37:44,670
Thank you. Will. Nothing. I have nothing. We will go to. On to the manager's discussion. So last

326
00:37:44,670 --> 00:37:49,670
week we had the kickoff meeting for the Norris Bridge. Just wanted to give everybody out there in TV

327
00:37:49,670 --> 00:37:54,310
land a heads up that you're probably going to see a little bit of activity out there over the next

328
00:37:54,310 --> 00:38:01,610
month or so. They're going to start their survey and start doing some work out there. We had our

329
00:38:02,170 --> 00:38:08,410
third or fourth Work the rural economy. Something, something, something, whatever it stands for.

330
00:38:09,130 --> 00:38:16,238
Planning session for our two day in person workshop which is going to be September 30th and October

331
00:38:16,342 --> 00:38:24,490
1st. Again this is the grant program we got with Jay and Livermore to work on economic development

332
00:38:24,650 --> 00:38:34,120
as a topic to recreation and the community is invited to that. As soon as we have an outline and an

333
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:41,680
agenda for what that's going to look like and possible information gathering we'll be looking for it

334
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:52,030
will be published. And the last thing I have is I was asked if the town would want to accept a

335
00:38:52,030 --> 00:38:58,910
donation of. Does anybody remember the Merry Go Round from the old

336
00:39:01,150 --> 00:39:06,550
elementary school? Primary school. Which one was it? Doris? Do you remember primary school up on

337
00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:07,790
Church Street? Yeah.

338
00:39:09,950 --> 00:39:16,030
I don't know what kind of shape it's in but the gentleman is willing to gift that to the town for

339
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,960
installation down at the rec field if we choose to accept that.

340
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:31,520
I don't see why not. Those are always fun. So what kind of shape? There's kind of a lot of

341
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:37,680
questions. Reliability and that sort of stuff. I did check with MMA and they said that, you know, it

342
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:37,960
is

343
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,290
insurable. I guess they do still sell those.

344
00:39:46,250 --> 00:39:48,890
Would that increase the insurance? I suppose that's a good question.

345
00:39:50,730 --> 00:39:57,290
They didn't say you'd have to check with the insurance company and then you kind of find location

346
00:39:57,290 --> 00:40:05,130
for it. Maybe it's like a tentative with more information I think. Well, I mean we can accept it.

347
00:40:05,130 --> 00:40:11,230
Doesn't mean we have to install it. That's true. I mean if they're accepted somebody else that

348
00:40:11,230 --> 00:40:19,070
wanted it I guess would be then I would. I would move that we accept the very generous donation of

349
00:40:19,070 --> 00:40:20,070
the Merry Go Round

350
00:40:23,270 --> 00:40:25,670
sending all those in favor

351
00:40:27,910 --> 00:40:35,830
agreement. I'm personally not for it because I near got killed three times on one of those

352
00:40:35,830 --> 00:40:40,900
suckers. But one of them was my brother. But anyway, I'm not bitter.

353
00:40:43,940 --> 00:40:50,940
Was. Was that all, Karen? That was it then we will go to department head Chief Haroun. Mr. Vice

354
00:40:50,940 --> 00:40:53,380
Chair. I don't have anything for this. Thank you.

355
00:40:55,860 --> 00:41:05,450
The next one. Don't worry. Ms. Austin. We had a blood drive here yesterday. Very successful. We had

356
00:41:05,450 --> 00:41:15,250
17 people that donated. So they got 17 units and actually six power reds. The power reds are when

357
00:41:15,250 --> 00:41:21,930
they can take double the red blood cells. So they're very successful and they will start planning

358
00:41:21,930 --> 00:41:27,650
for the next blood drives. So probably a couple months. Excellent.

359
00:41:31,020 --> 00:41:37,300
And that's. That's. That's all. Okay. How's the garden? What's happened now? It's winding down so

360
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:37,660
it's

361
00:41:39,260 --> 00:41:44,300
like gone or done or. Well, there's a few things down there still. Lots of green tomatoes still down

362
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:44,620
there.

363
00:41:47,180 --> 00:41:55,950
How was the turnout this year? Was it kind of not great? Oh, it'll make up probably a very nice

364
00:41:55,950 --> 00:42:01,950
garden spot next year where we can sit and look at big flowers. Oh yeah, but we need to have another

365
00:42:01,950 --> 00:42:03,830
plague and it'll pick right back up.

366
00:42:06,550 --> 00:42:15,990
Okay, I. Nope. Wait, wait, wait. Gary's here. Oh, okay. Hi, Gary. Hello. For those of you who don't

367
00:42:15,990 --> 00:42:20,740
know, I'm Gary Bear. I'm a lieutenant in the Livermore Falls Fire department. So I'm here

368
00:42:20,740 --> 00:42:25,820
representing the fire department just to give you guys a heads up of what we've been doing. Last

369
00:42:25,820 --> 00:42:32,060
weekend we had our Bowman field fly in where we had trucks down there on display a couple weeks ago.

370
00:42:32,220 --> 00:42:39,980
And last Saturday we passed out 190 backpacks with some basic school supplies to the kids.

371
00:42:42,300 --> 00:42:49,060
We've had a new member that is in the process of joining. He is from New York. He's an experienced

372
00:42:49,060 --> 00:42:56,060
firefighter so we don't have to train him. And as soon as we get all his paperwork gone through, he

373
00:42:56,060 --> 00:43:03,900
will be an active firefighter. Our trucks are staying pretty much the same. We are still looking at

374
00:43:03,900 --> 00:43:13,140
grants to see about expanding our and upgrading our fleet. Fire coffee calls have been, knock on

375
00:43:13,140 --> 00:43:21,300
wood, minimal. They've done a lot of minor responses and a lot of it has been mutual aiding to other

376
00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:29,180
towns. But they've been small incidents. So a lot of times we get turned back before we actually get

377
00:43:29,180 --> 00:43:37,280
to the scene. As a is such a small incident, we got canceled and road. So other than that, things

378
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,080
have been going pretty straightforward on the fire department.

379
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:48,160
You had a car wash a week ago or the car wash was done at the fire department, but that was actually

380
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:58,120
the cheerleaders. Okay. The auxiliary did have the. Our ladies auxiliary did have a yard sale to

381
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,720
raise money for their part.

382
00:44:02,330 --> 00:44:03,290
, I missed that.

383
00:44:06,090 --> 00:44:12,130
And everything that was left over got donated to Bowman for their yard sale. Well, the Bowman's

384
00:44:12,130 --> 00:44:19,450
thing was. Was incredible. Saturday was very busy. Yeah, the cars had a lot of airplanes there. It

385
00:44:19,450 --> 00:44:26,130
was great. So. And the breakfast are still awesome. So anybody who doesn't or hasn't gone, I

386
00:44:26,130 --> 00:44:33,940
recommend the breakfast at Bowman field fly in. Very good. And so that's about it. It's been fairly

387
00:44:34,020 --> 00:44:40,780
a quiet month. We're now gearing up for the fall. Unfortunately, that usually means chimney fire

388
00:44:40,780 --> 00:44:46,420
season for us and leaf brush piles going out of control.

389
00:44:48,100 --> 00:44:53,320
Not as dangerous as in the summertime, but it still causes issues. So yeah,

390
00:44:56,030 --> 00:45:00,830
thank you, Gary. Thank you. I'm sorry I didn't call on you. I didn't know. That's okay. No problem.

391
00:45:00,830 --> 00:45:06,030
I saw that you had an insignia, but I see people wearing stuff from Disney, but I don't think

392
00:45:06,030 --> 00:45:07,390
they're Mickey Mouse.

393
00:45:10,190 --> 00:45:17,510
Mr. Bilodeau the Elder. I'm all set, thank you. Mr. Bilodeau the Younger actually might be a crazy

394
00:45:17,510 --> 00:45:26,470
question, but okay, it's question. Is there any way that there could be the information of last

395
00:45:26,470 --> 00:45:33,190
year's sort of a line item just for the citizens to see for the cost of employment, cost of

396
00:45:33,190 --> 00:45:38,750
insurance, new equipment, buildings this year versus last. We all know the price of everything's

397
00:45:38,750 --> 00:45:44,350
gone up, but that gives us a good comparison to see its cost of insurance, cost of everything else.

398
00:45:44,990 --> 00:45:55,000
Can that be? Is that part of public info? It is. It's. It's all on the budget spreadsheets that have

399
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:55,640
been online.

400
00:45:59,720 --> 00:46:01,480
This stuff's still on there, isn't it?

401
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:08,120
The budgets I haven't been able to find. Looking at Jim and Shearer, I haven't taken it down.

402
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:15,440
Where is. I've got the town site up. Could somebody point. I don't know how much information was

403
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:24,180
there? Was it just one liners versus all the detail? I'll have to look. Bryson. Okay, thank you.

404
00:46:24,180 --> 00:46:24,780
Good question.

405
00:46:27,820 --> 00:46:34,980
And as chair I have the prerogative of not calling on anybody unless they're on the sign in sheet.

406
00:46:34,980 --> 00:46:39,980
But I'm going to ask, would anyone like else like to add anything?

407
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:48,050
I was wondering if the fire department was going to be doing like fire prevention at the school.

408
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:53,920
That will be coming up in a couple months. In a couple months. Yes. Okay. But yes, we do that every

409
00:46:53,920 --> 00:47:02,440
year. It's just. It's coming up. So I was going to wait because Nixon Ortiz is the one who is in

410
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:09,040
charge of fire prevention and he has just started ordering the materials and organizing. So when he

411
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:13,240
has more information, I will bring that information to the board. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank

412
00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:21,780
you, gary. Thank you. Mrs. Bailey. Mrs. Long, since Gary is here, you're doing how we will be doing

413
00:47:21,780 --> 00:47:28,820
the haunted house Oct. 31 at the fire station. Yes. And you can do your yes.

414
00:47:31,700 --> 00:47:32,420
Donation.

415
00:47:34,020 --> 00:47:40,780
Yeah, we'll accept any donations. I don't know exactly what they need. Just wrap candy. Yeah,

416
00:47:40,780 --> 00:47:41,780
usually we're.

417
00:47:45,140 --> 00:47:52,570
We usually go and take money out of our association fund and go buy candy. But any donations are

418
00:47:52,570 --> 00:48:00,250
always welcome towards that end. So which brings me is the town we will be doing that junk retreat

419
00:48:00,330 --> 00:48:07,690
and so they'll be on the same night you doing it the 31st? Right now we have a tent. It'll be

420
00:48:07,690 --> 00:48:12,970
scheduled for the 31st. So unless that changes, as far as I've been told

421
00:48:14,970 --> 00:48:22,510
by the assistant chief, which is a Saturday timeline, yours is later. We used like last year, we

422
00:48:22,510 --> 00:48:27,630
were sending people over and a lot of people were. I mean, it was vice versa. I think a lot of

423
00:48:27,630 --> 00:48:28,510
people go to both

424
00:48:31,310 --> 00:48:38,030
house earlier for the little kids because parents don't want them out later. Right. And we tend to

425
00:48:38,030 --> 00:48:43,430
make it less scary because we don't really want to traumatize any little kids. And then later on at

426
00:48:43,430 --> 00:48:48,910
night, it's more for the adults, for the bigger kids, you know, that want it to be scarier.

427
00:48:51,930 --> 00:48:58,810
So how late does it go? Usually if it's a school night, we try to shut it down at 9. But if it ends

428
00:48:58,810 --> 00:49:04,970
up like a Friday or a Saturday night, we can keep it open till 10 if we have the people. Unless it

429
00:49:04,970 --> 00:49:11,130
dies. And then we'll close it down earlier. Thanks. The 31st is on a Saturday. Yeah. So we generally

430
00:49:11,130 --> 00:49:18,730
will run it a little later because we do find that a lot of people like to, after they get done with

431
00:49:18,730 --> 00:49:25,040
the little kids, they like to go out and experience the haunted house when it's more scarier.

432
00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:31,040
Well, if we really want to scare the older kids, we can invite them to one of our budget committee

433
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:39,840
meetings. Hey, hey, hey. I was thinking of extended hours of homework at the school, but, you know.

434
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,040
Yeah. My boat is still with a budget.

435
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,330
So the trunk or treat is usually what, four to seven? Yeah.

436
00:49:53,050 --> 00:49:54,890
Do we have any other public comment?

437
00:49:56,890 --> 00:50:01,610
Then I would move that we go into executive session

438
00:50:03,850 --> 00:50:05,850
after a 10 minute recess.

439
00:50:09,290 --> 00:50:17,700
Thank you all for coming. You've been very well behaved. I appreciate that in a vote. Okay. I move

440
00:50:17,700 --> 00:50:25,020
that we move into executive session after the 10 minute recess. After a 10 minute recess. I second

441
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:28,860
that. Any discussion? All those in favor?
