[0:52] Hello, everyone, and welcome to the August 19 regular session of the Town Council, and we

[0:57] will begin, as always, with the federal meetings. Councilor Clayson, would you lead us?

[1:03] Well, I'd like the allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the

[1:08] Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice

[1:14] for all.

[1:19] All right. Now we begin with roll call. We currently

[1:25] have two counselors out with who's been excused. And everyone else is here. Next we

[1:34] will move on to public forum. Public forum is limited to 15 minutes total. Each

[1:39] speaker will have three minutes. Speakers must be a resident of the town and

[1:42] new market, a property owner in town with new market, or a designated

[1:46] representative of a recognized civic organization or business located in

[1:51] town and new market. When at the podium please state your name and address for

[1:55] record. This address is to address your comments to the chair and the town council as a body,

[2:00] not as any individual member. And this is not your way of dialogue. The council will not respond

[2:07] to your comments at this time, though if something needs to be followed up on, we will

[2:11] research it and come back with an answer later. Is there anyone from the public who is invisible?

[2:18] All right.

[2:23] Okay. We will now consider public forum closed. Next, we move on to the public

[2:30] hearing or ordinance number 1-26-2027, amended Chapter 2, Article 3, establishing of a Heritage

[2:39] Commission.

[2:42] And I will now open the public hearing.

[2:46] Nope. So I guess we will close the

[2:50] public hearing. Next, we will move on to the Town Council to consider acceptance meeting

[2:57] minutes. Regular meeting minutes of July 15th. Is there a motion to accept the meeting minutes?

[3:04] So what?

[3:05] Is there a second?

[3:08] Second.

[3:09] Thank you.

[3:10] Any discussion on meeting minutes of the regular session on July 15th?

[3:17] Seeing none, please call the roll.

[3:20] Councilor Connery?

[3:21] Aye.

[3:21] Council Baxter?

[3:22] Aye.

[3:23] Council Chair?

[3:24] Aye.

[3:24] Council Playsford?

[3:25] Aye.

[3:26] Motion passes.

[3:27] Oh, good.

[3:27] Council work.

[3:28] Aye.

[3:29] Board.

[3:31] It's okay.

[3:31] We talked about it.

[3:34] Next, we have the acceptance of the non-public meeting in minutes of July 15.

[3:41] Is there a motion to accept the minutes?

[3:43] So moved.

[3:44] And is there a second?

[3:47] Second.

[3:48] Is there any discussion on these minutes?

[3:53] Seeing none, would you please call the roll?

[3:55] Mr. Connolly, I abstain.

[3:57] Council Blackstone? Aye.

[3:59] Council Sharon? Aye.

[4:01] Mr. Grisbrook? Aye.

[4:02] Council Water? Aye.

[4:04] I should pass this course area.

[4:06] All right. Next is Town Council to consider her nominations, appointments, elections, and races of the nation.

[4:13] We'll be starting with a motion to appoint Carla and Romano-Clar and avoiding to the

[4:18] energy and environment advisory committee with a term expiration of April 2029.

[4:23] Is there a motion?

[4:26] I'll move to accept that motion.

[4:28] And is there a second?

[4:32] I'll second.

[4:33] Second.

[4:34] Is there any discussion or comment?

[4:43] Yes.

[4:44] So, when the person that was nominated for the arts committee last time, I was told that

[4:56] there is a procedure and then someone should have spoken with that candidate beforehand.

[5:06] Did someone speak from this committee, speak with Carville?

[5:15] I believe that that was a misunderstanding and that it's not a requirement.

[5:20] Right, it's not a requirement. Just was that the chair given the opportunity to work aware of Carla?

[5:30] Not anybody.

[5:31] It's not the chair of the Arts Commission's appointment. It's the council's appointment.

[5:37] Right.

[5:37] right. You made a change last year that said that they could write a letter of

[5:42] recommendation if they wanted to but I think you may come in we may give it

[5:49] a situation where the chair isn't you know may not be under the terms of the

[5:53] person that's applying or whatever other reason so it's not something that is

[5:58] necessary or required. So not that that's a problem with our

[6:03] committees but like sometimes in town like the communities to come like all

[6:06] about that one person is running it is my committee this is my group of people

[6:11] and basically not happening here and we're trying to avoid people coming

[6:15] with a cult of personality kind of thing. Okay thank you. Okay now getting back to

[6:23] Carla and Romano Clark, Appliance Energy Environment Committees was there anything

[6:30] Okay, I'm seeing none. Please call the roll.

[6:34] I'll say finally.

[6:35] Aye.

[6:36] I'll say Blackstone.

[6:37] Aye.

[6:37] I'll say Sharon.

[6:38] Aye.

[6:39] I'll say Graysburg.

[6:40] Aye.

[6:40] I'll say Ward.

[6:41] Aye.

[6:42] Motion passes Graysburg.

[6:43] Okay.

[6:45] Before we move on, I just wanted to know if I will have access to the Internet.

[6:48] The Wi-Fi is down right now.

[6:51] Is there any other break?

[6:54] Okay, we'll have you read it.

[6:55] Here, we got the...

[6:57] This is not a package.

[7:00] I don't know if that's a package or not.

[7:02] You can adjourn the recess to be...

[7:04] I can print up packets.

[7:06] Does anyone else...

[7:07] Does anyone else have any trouble right now?

[7:09] Party's already on my system.

[7:11] Yeah, I'm tired of it.

[7:13] Then, no need to...

[7:17] You're getting back on so many things this summer?

[7:20] All right.

[7:22] Moving on.

[7:22] Alfred Melodon, Modali, I apologize.

[7:28] Complaint me to the Energy and Environment Committee

[7:30] with a term exploration in April, 2029.

[7:33] I will accept the motion to appoint Alfred Melodon.

[7:37] So moved.

[7:38] Is there a second?

[7:39] Second.

[7:40] Okay.

[7:41] Any discussion?

[7:45] Seeing none, could you please call the roll?

[7:48] Councilor Conlon, Councilor Blackstone.

[7:51] Aye.

[7:51] Councilor Scherer, Aye.

[7:53] Councilor Graesberg.

[7:54] Aye.

[7:54] That's all right.

[7:55] That's all right.

[7:55] Motion plus 5-0.

[7:58] Next, we have Andrea Frey, resignation as an alternate member of the Conservation Commission.

[8:04] I will accept the motion to accept the resignation of Andrea Frey as an alternate member to the

[8:09] Conservation Commission.

[8:11] So moved.

[8:12] And do I have a second?

[8:14] Second.

[8:14] Can I ask what are you saying?

[8:16] So moved.

[8:18] So moved.

[8:18] Oh.

[8:20] Thank you.

[8:21] So moved.

[8:22] Yeah.

[8:22] We'll get to that in a minute.

[8:23] Yep.

[8:24] Any discussion?

[8:25] I believe she's just trying to go down a full number next.

[8:31] Seeing no further discussion, we'll please call the roll.

[8:34] Councilor Connery?

[8:35] Aye.

[8:36] Councilor Blackstone?

[8:36] Aye.

[8:37] Councilor Sharon?

[8:38] Aye.

[8:39] Councilor Blackstone?

[8:40] Aye.

[8:40] Councilor Bessler?

[8:41] Aye.

[8:43] Councilor Smith?

[8:44] Aye.

[8:45] Aye.

[8:46] Councilor McDonnell?

[8:48] Aye.

[8:49] Councilor McDonnell?

[8:52] Aye.

[8:53] I'll accept the motion.

[8:55] So, yeah.

[8:57] And you would have eight seconds.

[9:00] Second.

[9:01] Alright, any discussion?

[9:04] Oh, Councilor Jackson.

[9:06] Andrea has been a

[9:07] a strong contributor

[9:09] as an, as a

[9:11] alternative member.

[9:13] She is a high school teacher

[9:15] and she teaches this stuff in school

[9:17] and is very committed to it

[9:18] and is a solid candidate.

[9:23] And I just take this moment and say thank you to everyone tonight who has applied for an

[9:29] appointment on the committee, and thank you for everyone who is currently on the committee

[9:35] who can't run without you and if you're interested, you're always looking for people.

[9:40] Alright, if there's no further discussion, could you please call the roll?

[9:46] That's a fine name.

[9:47] That's a Blackstone.

[9:49] Aye.

[9:49] That's a Sharon.

[9:50] Aye.

[9:51] That's a Blaisburg.

[9:51] Aye.

[9:52] That's a Ward.

[9:52] Aye.

[9:53] That's a Syster.

[9:55] Next we have the report of the town manager.

[9:58] Thank you Mr. Chair.

[9:59] The first item is I have attached to my report of the updated goal setting summary.

[10:05] Yeah, I'm just going to do the work and document for my projects for facilitated sessions in

[10:09] May of 2024 and 2025 as we updated a whole brand new list.

[10:17] And as the council look at the full document, let me know if there's anything that needs

[10:20] correcting or prior to your shift within your head.

[10:24] Next, the town has the results of the Independent Operational Service Level Analysis for the

[10:29] New Market Fire Rescue Department.

[10:31] I was finished in July on this MRI.

[10:33] We commissioned the studies here of current staffing and performance measures up against

[10:37] national standards.

[10:38] We had a way of service demand as heading as it being proposed.

[10:41] What they found is that the short version is that MRI found that we have a highly

[10:45] functional department with strong service at exceptional value. New

[10:49] Market Fire Rescue runs on a budget of about $695,000, plus and half the average

[10:54] of the five comparable CECOs in varying departments. An MRI estimates our staffing

[11:00] model saves tax credits more than a million dollars a year. The department

[11:04] operates on a hybrid of two full-time positions, one of the currently vacant,

[11:07] who had 43 on-call members and roughly 30 per person out, that on-call roster is well

[11:12] above what MRIs we see as the community is like ours.

[11:17] In 2015, the department responded to 1,013 emergency calls, 905 medical calls and 408

[11:24] were in fire related. Emergency medical service is now what we get called for most often

[11:29] and much like every other department, the city projects a call-alonging approach 2,000

[11:33] by 2030 as the town borders. The city also points to challenges shared by the

[11:39] Fire Department's nationwide decline in volunteerism, difficulty covering daytime

[11:42] and overnight shifts, rapidly rising apparatus costs. On performance fire

[11:47] response time met the national 10 minutes of urban benchmark 75% of the time, the

[11:53] 2005 just under 80% goal, while EMS response time was consistently strong

[11:57] throughout the year. The report makes 32 recommendations. The central ones are

[12:03] keep and strengthen the current on-call per unit career hazard model.

[12:07] The study expressed the design to preserve on-call force and not replace it.

[12:12] Established a 24-7 in station initial response crew of three personnel

[12:18] beginning in 2027 to improve response times as tall volume arises.

[12:23] Filled with 18 full-time firefighter position.

[12:26] Transition of fire chief to full-time mobile at fiscal year 28.

[12:29] It was used currently to help part-time and shared by the Director of Public Works.

[12:35] Use the ambulance revenues to help fund the recommended staffer and review EMS ability

[12:39] to reach annually, and coordinate review of major residential development proposals

[12:43] for public safety capacity planning.

[12:45] The Board has meant to be starting point for community conversations with the Feature

[12:48] of Fire EMS and Services in Newmarket.

[12:51] The Council is giving people a review of the study at its September 16 meeting with

[12:56] MRI they're going to present all the findings. And the full board is also available on the

[13:01] town website for the public.

[13:06] Reconstruction of the upper parking lot at Town Hall has

[13:08] become a work expected to take about three weeks. Last week we saw cutting the asphalt

[13:14] in preparation of new curving in front of the building. There's a cut now.

[13:24] That's

[13:25] within a day or two, somebody is building, somebody just be ready. This week, yeah, we hope to see

[13:31] the new curbing installed in the next week for the asphalt removal repayment and striping.

[13:37] On repayment, the project includes, as I said, the curbing around the perimeter near the van,

[13:42] the other building to help prevent the damage to Town Hall. We're also narrowing the width of

[13:46] the entrance on Cheswell Street and bringing a lot of pavement markings up to current standards.

[13:52] They're not currently good, correct?

[13:55] No, I don't know.

[13:55] If you ever notice, some vehicles are tighter than others.

[13:59] But also, the reason why we're going to narrow it on Cheswell Street

[14:03] is cars flying in and out of there,

[14:05] because it's so wide, and the way it's set up there,

[14:08] that we're trying to narrow it to make it safer.

[14:12] There will be disruptions to the parking

[14:14] in the town hall operations.

[14:16] Well, while the work is underway,

[14:18] we appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation

[14:19] as we get through it.

[14:20] I just do say a word around

[14:28] this change.

[14:30] We do intend to be open.

[14:31] We're only going to have name of a,

[14:32] we're supposed to be happy about what we can.

[14:35] So it shouldn't be that much of a more,

[14:37] more of a nuisance of noise than it is.

[14:41] That'd be up to you in a minute here.

[14:43] The next is, I want to hear a council update

[14:46] on this could be a product that we'll be working on.

[14:48] I'm not going to sell away some management

[14:50] until I 24th to talk through what I move

[14:53] to on-day trash and recycling collection

[14:55] could look like for new market.

[15:03] If you notice recently in the town of Gump has gotten rid of their in-house collection and

[15:11] now is contracted with SELA and they have automated collection on the side. We are looking at how

[15:17] Derham Dover conquered it by handling single changes. The main takeaway is that all three

[15:21] are moving towards automation, but each is moving differently. Especially when it comes

[15:25] is just pay-as-you-throw, contract structure and timing.

[15:28] It also threw away the drop from the groove from any of them.

[15:31] Since they're not copy-only-launched,

[15:33] the summer builders will not convert until 2027.

[15:36] For new market, we haven't made a decision.

[15:38] We wouldn't be refining numbers and policy options

[15:40] in the back during the upcoming project process.

[15:43] One IM would be funding living totals.

[15:46] I'm recommending that we be using the surplus

[15:48] from the dissolving the solid waste fund

[15:50] to fund these totals.

[15:52] We're estimating, you know, $350,000 for a new toast for everybody.

[15:57] I just made a table of all of the different things that we're going through.

[16:03] When I say automated, what it is, is we technically sound like we're cutting.

[16:07] Instead of refreshing up this, we're going to have a gin, a chocolate coffee, and I'm going to throw it in it.

[16:13] One of the things that I are estimating is there will be a cost savings in the long run.

[16:24] The plane board has adopted the master plan.

[16:26] That wraps up the multi-year effort by the board of understaffed consultants and residents.

[16:30] It turned out public sessions and sent in comments along the way on the state law and the master

[16:34] plan is the planning boards to adopt not the town council, but it matters what we're on

[16:39] the planning board.

[16:39] It's the foundation for our zoning and nature relations, and it is what the board needs

[16:44] on the new development proposals.

[16:46] The old plan had gotten dated in a few places, so we have to give this guidance that reflects

[16:50] what we like to do today and where prisons said what they want.

[16:54] And now it's the real work now is implementation and putting action will require the zoning

[16:59] regulatory amendments where the order is changed as needed, along with alignment to the capital

[17:03] improvement program and plan's recommendations. Staff are using the adopted plan to develop those

[17:07] items and expect Council to see related proposals for the next several budget cycles and ordinance

[17:12] cycles. I just want to thank the Planning Board and Community Development Staff for their

[17:16] sustained work on this effort. We do have a preliminary 2027 expense and revenue.

[17:23] Just please note, it's the first month of the year of the funding out of the ordinary.

[17:28] We haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.

[17:30] We do have a lot of revenues that are coming from

[17:35] July.

[17:38] Nothing out of the ordinary expenses.

[17:40] It's just the normal annual

[17:44] payments that we do in July and August.

[17:48] So nothing really out of the ordinary there.

[17:52] Also, one more thing I want to let everybody know.

[17:54] We've been talking about 27.

[17:55] We are playing the fiscal year, 28 budget.

[17:58] The department heads are currently preparing their budgets and their birth time.

[18:01] They're presented to me within a couple weeks

[18:03] and I'll present the proposed budget to the Time Council by the Charter of Mandated deadline

[18:08] of October 15th. I reviewed the optical deadlines and recommended the Fallen calendar. We went

[18:13] over that last week at the meeting. Most of them were established by state laws and but

[18:19] I would ask the Council to reserve, second, October 31st beginning at 9 a.m. The workshop

[18:26] to review the proposed budget for Council to share what we do is we try to hammer

[18:31] We were helping one day. I had my old apartment heads come in and then I adopted the budget

[18:37] as the next meeting. So we used the basketball for four or five hours.

[18:42] Did you save the three for him?

[18:46] And it was on me.

[18:47] You can wear a costume.

[18:48] We usually.

[18:50] Yeah.

[18:52] He started wanting to get that by new.

[18:55] He knew we were bringing treats. Treats.

[18:58] But by the way, we have.

[19:01] And what's the main official job?

[19:03] It's a budget workshop.

[19:04] The

[19:09] next item is that the Charter of Preventor

[19:12] requires that I write a five-year financial forecast.

[19:15] When we're finishing one covering fiscal years 28 to 32,

[19:20] we have run a three-way baseline

[19:22] concerning the optimistic and all three-point

[19:24] in the same direction,

[19:25] to plan our property tax levy increase

[19:27] with a little over 2% a year.

[19:29] Expenses and non-tax revenue grow

[19:31] above the same rate,

[19:32] so the amount we must raise to tax the levy

[19:35] grows a little more in gear.

[19:37] The forecast also seems to be valued between 2030, which will bring the tax rate down noticeably

[19:42] without changing what the time collects.

[19:44] Again, this will be plenty to hold, not a prediction, and plenty can move it.

[19:48] The economy is in aid or a decision to bond a large capital project.

[19:52] And I'll bring my full report to you in September.

[19:56] Finally, the state primary election will be held on September 8th from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

[20:01] here at Town Hall.

[20:02] The council will need to work the poll.

[20:03] and literally the council must be present when the polls close to certify the election.

[20:08] And if you have the schedule there and if you have not signed up, please go on the Excel spreadsheet

[20:13] and sign up. And that is all I have today, Mr. Chairman.

[20:17] Okay. Next we get a committee...

[20:20] Oh, sorry.

[20:21] Is this okay?

[20:23] Yeah.

[20:23] Is this okay?

[20:24] Yeah.

[20:25] Is this okay?

[20:26] Yeah.

[20:26] Is this okay?

[20:32] But not just now like I wasn't getting some stuff. So you said there was some updates to the town council. That was the first thing you said.

[20:43] The goals.

[20:43] Council goals. Is that documented?

[20:46] In my report. Yeah.

[20:48] Oh, okay. And, okay, I'll just look at it again. And then the, the, has it been discussed the, because you're getting it, we're proposing a new full-time fire chief.

[21:01] And then the public works director will do it.

[21:07] I'll never propose anything yet.

[21:08] Oh, okay. All right. Okay.

[21:11] And then the last thing with Kasella.

[21:13] So right now the town handles the trash collection.

[21:18] Yeah. Kasella does now.

[21:20] Oh, okay. So they're just-

[21:21] They will change the system.

[21:22] One of the big issues is the pay-as-you-draw system that we currently have.

[21:27] And how do you monitor that when you have it in a can?

[21:32] So that's what we're looking at right now. Like I said, so you're always getting rid of the pay-to-throw system

[21:38] Concord it has AI cameras

[21:42] That will now check what you throw the bag goes in. I don't know how it works

[21:47] and

[21:49] They can find you if you do not use them

[21:52] So we'll have to look at it, but remember if we remove the page and throw system

[21:57] So, the collection, garbage collection is all on taxes, I think.

[22:01] With the record, your time in the market debt this time is not considering AI monitoring.

[22:06] We are not saying anything.

[22:08] No, we're not in that still.

[22:11] So, don't worry about that. That's not happening.

[22:13] Thank you.

[22:14] Okay.

[22:15] Yeah, Councilor Blackstone.

[22:19] So, we have this orange bag fund.

[22:22] And we we took that money and we put it into the General Lightyear to improve our balance sheet

[22:27] We write and and it was to to allow us to get loans at a lower rate

[22:32] You know to improve our point. It's gonna partially. Yes, and so if we now taking money out of that

[22:40] That kind of defeats that purpose

[22:42] I think it'd be better to just put that in a budget just put the $400,000 in the budget or just put 200

[22:48] if I could answer. Yeah. We have enough money to do both. Okay. So now, without impacting

[22:55] our balance sheet, yes. Yeah. Okay, so. And that's what that money was supposed to be going

[23:01] for, the solid waste of things, not just offset the balance sheet.

[23:09] But again, these are

[23:10] just, we're still planning to see what we do.

[23:15] Any other questions or comments? Oh,

[23:21] But one of the things that looks like the study found for the fire department is

[23:30] emergency medical service call volume could approach 2,000 per year by 2030

[23:37] as the new market grows. I know you've done sort of the financial projections but

[23:41] is there what's the what's the projection for sort of in general the population?

[23:51] What I've seen would probably be 10,000, we're right now going 9,500, 9,600, probably 10,000

[24:01] to 10,000.

[24:07] So modest, okay

[24:12] let's see, 1,300 to 2,000 seems to be kind of a big jump we

[24:18] we would anticipate that that P- growth would result into a much larger percentage jump

[24:24] in the number of calls.

[24:25] So, do you think the community

[24:32] reports, does anyone have any reports this evening?

[24:43] For tourism, the RFP for the mural chemistry is due September 1st. We would love more

[24:52] submissions for that RFP.

[24:57] The committee

[25:04] did not meet this month, so it sounds like it was moving forward.

[25:08] Councillor Clayson?

[25:09] I think we're met and adopted.

[25:15] All right,

[25:21] we move on to the old business.

[25:24] We start with Resolution 2026-2027-1 Investment Policy.

[25:30] Is there a motion?

[25:34] So moved.

[25:35] Is there a second?

[25:37] Second.

[25:39] Okay.

[25:40] Now, is there any discussion?

[25:43] This is just another annual adoption, but we have to adopt an investment policy every

[25:47] year.

[25:47] Nothing has changed in it from year before, but we have to do it annually.

[25:52] As soon as we want to find this, we have to sign here.

[25:54] It's just a ministerial thing that we have to do.

[25:59] Any questions, comments?

[26:03] Seeing none, can you please call the roll?

[26:06] Councilor Cronin?

[26:07] Aye.

[26:07] Mr. Blackstone?

[26:08] Aye.

[26:09] Mr. Scherron?

[26:10] Aye.

[26:10] Mr. Blaisberg?

[26:11] Aye.

[26:12] Mr. Ward?

[26:12] Aye.

[26:13] Mr. Monson-Spires?

[26:14] Aye.

[26:15] Okay.

[26:16] Next we have Ordinance Number 1, 2026-2027.

[26:20] Amen.

[26:20] In Chapter 2, Article 3, Reception, Harris Commission.

[26:24] Is there a motion?

[26:25] But I see the town manager.

[26:27] Councilor Donnerwood was the one who was spearheading this.

[26:31] So he was the one who was speaking to this.

[26:33] It was absent.

[26:33] since I would like to know about the consequences

[26:36] over for a third week in action at the next meeting.

[26:39] Do we have to go through anything?

[26:41] You can just ask, but there's no objection.

[26:43] Is there any objection to holding this over

[26:45] to the next meeting?

[26:47] I see none.

[26:50] Now we move on to ordinances in the first meeting.

[26:54] And thanks to our Spotify problems, I got it.

[26:57] Oh, sorry.

[27:07] Resolution number 262705, water and sewer truck three,

[27:10] whereas water and sewer department part,

[27:11] We need to replace and bear as the Department of Funds will attract replacement in the Capital

[27:16] Reserve Fund and whereas the Department has received a good quote for the funding board

[27:20] for $425,000.

[27:21] You can pick up from the sum of $43,174.

[27:25] Now they have 4B resolved by the New York Attack Council, and the New York Attack Council

[27:28] authorizes withdrawal of $21,587 from each of the Water and Sewer Capital Reserve

[27:35] Funds for a $425,000 pick up in addition to the Time Council authorizes the purchase

[27:40] is a 4215 pickup for the sum of $1,174 funds by chair award by request.

[27:56] Resolution 2627 creates new pump station evaluation, but I'm sorry, 262706 creates new pump station

[28:03] evaluation whereas the creates new pumping station is in the pumping of electrical improvements

[28:07] and whereas the station is having issues with wastewater flow velocities and screaming

[28:11] whereas the creates new pumping station is critical for Star Trek.

[28:14] Now therefore be resolved by the New Yorker Town Council and the New Yorker Town Council

[28:18] authorizes withdrawal of $30,000, $460 from the suit capital reserves, for creating a suite

[28:23] of funding stations with E-Valuation.

[28:26] In addition to the Town Council authorizing the Town Manager and the Retreat Agreement,

[28:29] the right payers with some $30,000, $460 will complete the created dispute funding

[28:34] station evaluated for short-term to long-term improvements.

[28:43] New business and correspondence.

[28:45] Is there any corresponds to that council?

[28:47] All right, now it's time for any closing comments.

[28:50] Are there any closing comments this evening?
