[41:26] so the bicentennial platform at Quinn

[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

[1:01:40] 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
