[41:31] program uh
[41:34] [Music]
[41:50] I know that uh section where they play
[41:53] the music on the stage I wonder if that
[41:55] area is supposed to be remodeled and I
[41:58] will they took it down last year and I
[42:01] noticed that the whole surveying was
[42:04] supposed to probably be done this here I
[42:06] don't know if it's possible if that's
[42:08] going to be done by the time I'll bring
[42:09] it up tonight
[42:16] yeah that's sustained together I thought
[42:18] that was the old one was torn down last
[42:20] year okay and then it was supposed to
[42:23] build a new one this year I don't know
[42:25] if that's been done yet
[42:28] so it's not going to get built this year
[42:30] because we're still fundraising for that
[42:31] oh
[42:36] the complex project because it has to be
[42:38] engineered for Public Safety um so you
[42:41] know
[42:41] so it's going to go to safety yeah yeah
[42:45] and realistically it's probably an
[42:48] easier project so that will only be done
[42:50] until next year correct okay
[42:58] [Music]
[43:02] directions please
[43:04] so that is the Department of Economic
[43:07] and Community Development they have
[43:08] various movements that uh they offer
[43:11] they teach 12 pages from year to year to
[43:14] year the state in the January roughly
[43:18] issues a uh the program statement how
[43:21] the programs will be around and how to
[43:23] find anybody to move into fight and the
[43:25] issuing debt to the talents and then you
[43:26] look to see whether or not there was
[43:28] things that we want to apply for so all
[43:31] this does is it gives us permission to
[43:34] going to those programs they take
[43:35] applications and receive those funds
[43:38] yeah
[43:40] it's a pretty exhaustive list but what
[43:43] if another brand comes up that's
[43:45] uncovered is that except does that
[43:49] [Music]
[43:50] um
[43:51] yeah so it's an exhaustive risk I think
[43:54] we capture as an idiots we as we
[43:56] possibly can but if we did uh find a
[43:58] great opportunity and we're so fortunate
[44:00] to get it that was not on this list we
[44:02] wouldn't have to come to town we need to
[44:04] get that authorization uh what's
[44:05] different on this list this year you'll
[44:07] know it's the last thing that we added
[44:09] if you can remember from last year was
[44:10] The Communist Barbara program I mean
[44:14] that was in there last year but we put
[44:15] it in America because we figured that we
[44:17] might have an application
[44:21] but there may be some that we may see
[44:23] like there not going to apply to all
[44:27] these different agencies but uh in case
[44:29] there's an opportunity that we can we
[44:31] would like to be able to do so
[44:35] [Music]
[44:45] I agree
[44:47] in some circumstances that works with
[44:49] the agencies actually like to see their
[44:51] duties they're all online
[44:54] especially like CBG and that we really
[44:57] want to see their need in that
[44:59] authorization not appropriate at all for
[45:02] everything okay thank you

[46:21] some paragraph
[46:23] 50183 current balance is four hundred
[46:27] and fifty thousand dollars an
[46:29] explanation of this this authorizes the
[46:32] establishment of such accounts by the
[46:34] town's legislative body
[46:36] limits the annual appropriation to such
[46:38] accounts to five percent of the current
[46:41] tax commitment
[46:42] 2023 Town limits 388 081 dollars and
[46:48] requires a determination by the
[46:50] legislative body that a final emergency
[46:53] exists and this is recommended by your

[47:01] any comments questions or discussions
[47:05] seeing them all those in favor
[47:08] oh I'm sorry
[47:11] [Music]
[47:20] the balance is is not three million it's
[47:24] the current balance of that reservical
[47:25] is at 450.
[47:28] that the uh
[47:32] [Music]
[47:45] any other comments or questions
[47:47] discussion
[47:49] there being none all those in favor of
[47:52] article 40 Doom
[47:54] any opposal
[47:57] article 43
[47:59] and this will require a written vote
[48:02] voting ballot and that's required by
[48:04] Statute
[48:17] that's true
[48:21] to see if the town will hope to
[48:23] permanently increase the property tax
[48:25] Levy's limit for the town of Mount
[48:28] Alaska by state of Maine law any event
[48:31] that foregoing articles of the initial
[48:34] budget will result in a tax commitment
[48:37] that is greater than the property tax
[48:40] Leverage
[48:41] do I have a motion to add a second
[48:52] any questions come in for discussion on
[48:55] article 43
[48:58] products
[49:04] [Music]
[49:08] so the so the black tax collecting limit
[49:10] is a ld1 way way back in the day and it
[49:14] ties what types to do is tied to this
[49:17] whole budgets to property growth there's
[49:20] a very very extensive formula that the
[49:23] state uses to give us a property goal
[49:25] factor and we have to plug in a bunch of
[49:27] numbers to determine if we've exceeded
[49:30] uh our what they call our tax liability
[49:33] not a lot of accounts involved in this
[49:35] anymore every year what has happened is
[49:38] we if we exceed the regularly we have to
[49:42] ask
[49:43] the town's people will just to increase
[49:46] it to approve that and if we don't have
[49:50] not exceeded the millennial we don't
[49:52] vote on it because we need to exceed so
[49:54] what we're asking is that you want to
[49:56] permanently uh
[49:58] exceed the ability limit so that we
[50:01] don't have to do this every single year
[50:04] um it has to be done by the secret
[50:06] ballot
[50:07] this year the legal limit was exceeded
[50:09] by 174 174 312 dollars
[50:16] what it would happen is if
[50:19] you decided not to do that you would
[50:21] have to go back and drop our budget
[50:25] elsewhere so to get that number and it
[50:28] will deliver it so all we're asking is
[50:30] for positions to increase the legality
[50:31] further than you
[50:36] know
[50:37] yeah
[50:38] is there a reason why we select board
[50:41] has not given their blessing on this one
[50:47] actually there's no reason just uh
[50:49] oversighted
[50:50] [Music]
[50:57] so if your question is the board in
[50:59] favor of them
[51:02] can we get a response

[59:51] to improve to get access for snowmobiles
[59:54] and if we can continue to get creative
[59:56] like this down the road my goodness
[59:59] let's keep it up because this is to me
[1:00:00] this is a real winner for all of us in
[1:00:03] the community to get sleds into town if
[1:00:05] we can take this type of creativity into
[1:00:07] the other areas of town wherever that
[1:00:09] may be to get snowmobiles into the
[1:00:11] community I think that's great it's a
[1:00:13] wonderful job
[1:00:15] foreign
[1:00:24] [Music]
[1:00:54] thank you
[1:00:57] any other questions comments
[1:01:01] want to bring us
[1:01:03] I noticed that came with the oil where
[1:01:06] the oil came up was that's building's
[1:01:08] been empty for quite a while now and I'm
[1:01:12] just wondering if something else has got
[1:01:14] to go in there and probably later on in
[1:01:16] the future just wondering if it's
[1:01:19] possible maybe they can look at it sees
[1:01:22] the building will be safe inside
[1:01:24] you know it depends what you want to put
[1:01:26] in it but try to get something like a
[1:01:30] Walmart account and save people from
[1:01:32] going out of town but I'll bring this on
[1:01:35] tonight
[1:01:37] [Music]
[1:01:40] thank you all for your history so I I
[1:01:43] can give you uh I can tell you it's not
[1:01:46] the town's building for one thing so we
[1:01:49] don't control the outcome but I will say
[1:01:51] that there is some moving on that
[1:01:52] Cambridge building yeah some interesting
[1:01:55] developers that are kicking tires on it
[1:01:57] which is promising they're very
[1:01:59] interested in all the work that we're
[1:02:00] doing here in Fisher River rural health
[1:02:02] school construction official Act
[1:02:04] a medical facility that's going to be
[1:02:06] built there this year or hopefully or
[1:02:08] here's the audience here so there's a
[1:02:10] lot of movement there that's happened
[1:02:11] and if things are coming oh well let's
