00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:30,150
person Doug and I work. How do we spell?

2
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,040
» I'm going to start the recording.

3
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,680
>> Recording in progress. Now that we are

4
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,200
recording,

5
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,280
this is the September 8th meeting from

6
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,800
the village of North Bend

7
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,520
and we will call this meeting to order.

8
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,360
It's 6:59

9
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,800
and counting. Um so our first order of

10
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,960
business is to address our public

11
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,800
attendees. We have several in the

12
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,520
audience. Lori will note them. We'll

13
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,079
have them noted in the minutes. U let me

14
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:06,159
first ask if there is any one had any uh

15
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:08,640
changes to the

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,000
agenda. We won't add items. We can

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,190
postpone if need be and we can reorder.

18
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,960
Hearing none, we'll move on. Uh oh, hold

19
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:28,710
on. Got somebody coming in.

20
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,240
Lori, this is a Michael Miller joining

21
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,280
by Zoom

22
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,079
and Mr. Miller or whoever is using your

23
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:43,280
name there, should you wish to

24
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,520
say something, please feel free to do

25
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:51,360
so. Um, but right now we will

26
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,399
see Mr.

27
00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:55,119
here in the audience and

28
00:01:55,119 --> 00:01:57,920
floor is yours for a few minutes. Mr.

29
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,680
Flory.

30
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,320
>> Yes, floor is yours.

31
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,520
>> We come here tonight because even after

32
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,479
one or four cases and all their homes

33
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:12,000
are still blocked from town.

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,080
We wanted to speak on the drainage work

35
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,840
done at Mechanic Street. We want the

36
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,640
trustees to know that in 1986 under the

37
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,440
direction of bug honor

38
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,239
we dug the pipe across the road with our

39
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:29,040
chamber back ho

40
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,200
supplied material we did labor for free

41
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,319
again in 2001

42
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:40,000
after we put all 40 acres in we just

43
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,519
moved under the road for my bike flat

44
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:48,160
put the black village said 20 ft wide

45
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,560
24 ft. We taught the people walk in 24

46
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,239
ft

47
00:02:54,239 --> 00:02:56,720
to make it easier for people to walk.

48
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,360
Mechanic Street could be blacked out the

49
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,120
same 24 feet wide so people can walk

50
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,360
easier.

51
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,519
The last four

52
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:10,239
added up high,

53
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:12,000
but there was never anything there

54
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,430
before.

55
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,440
Over is set right on the edge of the

56
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,640
road with a deep ditch on each side.

57
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:22,800
This will make it possible for anybody

58
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,239
to walk on the edge without falling into

59
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:29,760
the ditch. One of my neighbors

60
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,920
fell walking down mechanic street and

61
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:36,159
broke her arm. We asked for safety

62
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:38,959
of people walking to remove the upper

63
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:42,400
cover and ditch that was added.

64
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,959
We wouldn't want another accident. And

65
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:47,440
if you want to call me, my phone number

66
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,789
is 8024473552.

67
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:55,760
And we are going to do a handheld and we

68
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,470
do have pictures of

69
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,480
» Did you just hand out

70
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,439
>> Mr. Corey? Did you advise the village

71
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:08,239
when you said did you see an accident

72
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:09,920
occur?

73
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,480
with a

74
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,400
woman? You said a neighbor. Did you see

75
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,280
an accident happen with a neighbor? As

76
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:20,720
you just read,

77
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,160
>> she she fell on me a gangster somewhere.

78
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,199
>> You saw it or you just heard this?

79
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:28,639
>> She told me she fell.

80
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:31,680
>> Okay. Did you or did you report this to

81
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,600
the village for their insurance

82
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,360
purposes? Did you advise her to do so?

83
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,120
>> She just told me she fell.

84
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,600
>> Okay.

85
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,550
>> When did she fall?

86
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,160
when

87
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,520
I

88
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,680
>> Okay. She she needs to contact Mr. Cory.

89
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,880
She needs to contact the clerk because

90
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,919
this is a major insurance that we have

91
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:03,600
to file paperwork for. If somebody fell

92
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,520
in law school, it

93
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,680
>> that's a problem.

94
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,360
>> If something happened while a village

95
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,759
was doing work, it needs to be reported

96
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:14,400
properly.

97
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,639
Paul's she told me she called.

98
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:18,720
>> Okay. If she if she can't report it,

99
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,840
then we can't say that it's fact.

100
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:24,800
The the village has insurance,

101
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,199
>> then she needs to then she needs to

102
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:28,240
contact the clerk.

103
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,440
>> Yeah.

104
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,680
>> Otherwise,

105
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,160
>> yes.

106
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,280
>> Okay, Margaret.

107
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:33,840
>> Yeah. Um

108
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:34,800
>> Margaret wants to

109
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,919
>> Okay. Okay. We went to Home Depot and

110
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:41,199
got a fire pit. The new burn ordinance

111
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:44,560
says we don't need a permit

112
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,039
for fire pits. So asking the trustees if

113
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:56,870
we can burn Ed Meyers said to ask you

114
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,440
Ed Meyers is the fire warden and he is

115
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,319
the one with the authority. So we

116
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:06,080
followed the trustees followed the

117
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,720
advice of of the fire

118
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,469
>> warden

119
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:14,800
» hold on hold on yes Tara

120
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,120
>> um just a reminder that we just adopted

121
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,160
the new burn ordinance so it has to

122
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,360
comply with the burn ordinance and ED

123
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,440
>> yes so Ed would know what the burn

124
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,520
ordinance is because that burn ordinance

125
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,319
is NFF hold on I got somebody else

126
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:35,039
coming in Um, yes. Uh, uh,

127
00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:36,639
>> can he do it?

128
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:39,919
>> Contact Ed Meyers. I do not know. Ed

129
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:40,960
Myers is

130
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,560
>> Ed ask you.

131
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:43,919
>> Well,

132
00:06:43,919 --> 00:06:47,120
>> but that puts it Good question mark.

133
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,440
>> Well, according to the If I could say

134
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,800
something, according to what we adopted,

135
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,560
uh, fire pits are permitted. So, it is a

136
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,520
permitted, uh, activity.

137
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,280
>> So, we need that one.

138
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:02,240
But Scott,

139
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,520
>> no. You need to have a permit first.

140
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,080
>> Yeah, Scott, there's also a definition

141
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,800
of what a fire pit is versus an open

142
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,440
burn.

143
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,120
>> How to burn fire pit.

144
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,240
>> So there there is a Tara has a a point

145
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,039
to make too.

146
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:17,520
>> Yes,

147
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,639
>> there is a definition of a fire pit. Go

148
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:24,560
to the website, get a take take a look

149
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,080
at the open burn ordinance. Can we

150
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,880
>> we will mail you a copy of the burn of

151
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,319
the of the ordinance

152
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:35,599
>> because a fire pit is a very specific um

153
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:39,680
sided uh I think it's under three foot

154
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,560
pit that is either with metal or

155
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,720
concrete on the outsides or or rock on

156
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,120
the outside whereas an open burn has no

157
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,280
sides no edging and is much larger. So

158
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,759
there's a distinction between the two

159
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:55,199
and that dictates what is permissible to

160
00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:57,680
be done in terms of burning.

161
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,479
>> Thank you, Tara. Well said. We will mail

162
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:04,479
you a copy of the of the ordinance and

163
00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:09,280
if need be, we can see what Ed's Myers's

164
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,400
question was.

165
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,120
>> Can Can we not?

166
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,560
>> I'm not going to do it right now. I'm

167
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,000
not interrupting a meeting.

168
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,759
>> Someone else could do it. Somebody else

169
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:19,759
could if you feel like doing it, but I

170
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:22,000
am not interrupting the meeting.

171
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:22,479
>> Um,

172
00:08:22,479 --> 00:08:23,919
>> I didn't say you.

173
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:27,440
>> Yes, please feel free to.

174
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,000
>> I don't have access to

175
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,640
>> Okay. Um,

176
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,070
anything else?

177
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,839
» I still didn't quite understand you,

178
00:08:37,839 --> 00:08:39,519
Mary.

179
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:41,760
Can you burn without a permit if it's in

180
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,399
the fire?

181
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:45,200
>> Not without a permit.

182
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,360
All fires need a permit.

183
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,560
There are distinctions between like if

184
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:54,320
you're doing a lot of brush work and

185
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,040
you're you're burning a big pile of

186
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,160
trees and things versus a fire pit that

187
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,480
you, you know,

188
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,279
uh have marshmallows at with your

189
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:11,040
family, you know, around the back yard.

190
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,880
So you need to see which category you're

191
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,480
talking about and I think the fire would

192
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,480
be the best person to discuss it with

193
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,640
>> and if the fire warden feels it is not

194
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,320
clear we will mail you a copen

195
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,080
they burn almost every night during

196
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,200
summer

197
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,920
>> and they've done it for 10 years no

198
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,160
fires not huge

199
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,360
>> we are not in a position to say yes or

200
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,399
no it is our opinion that all of them

201
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:47,360
need a um need a permit. And as Tara

202
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,440
said, there is a very specific

203
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,399
definition of um of a fire pit and we'll

204
00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:57,120
mail you that ordinance if you haven't

205
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,120
seen it and you can then refer to that

206
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,360
and you can compare what you have to

207
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,949
what is listed in that ordinance.

208
00:10:08,959 --> 00:10:09,440
» No.

209
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,160
>> Okay. I would say do not be on the safe

210
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,200
side. Do not burn until you know exactly

211
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,560
what the ordinance says.

212
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:20,800
>> And you have a mail that

213
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,399
>> and you have a permit.

214
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:24,160
>> I can mail that out by the end of the

215
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,000
day tomorrow.

216
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,760
Not any sooner.

217
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,360
>> Sooner than tomorrow. The post office is

218
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,560
closed.

219
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:31,440
>> When? Tomorrow.

220
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,720
>> She said end of day tomorrow.

221
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,200
>> End of day tomorrow. So you can't do it

222
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,519
tonight and put it in the mail tomorrow.

223
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:40,640
So then that's it. Yeah. It hasn't even

224
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,160
been adopted here, has it?

225
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:42,480
>> Yes,

226
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,200
>> it has been.

227
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,200
adopted. It has been warned.

228
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,040
It has been posted. It has been put in

229
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,279
the newspaper. It is effective.

230
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:53,279
>> And the person who's to make the

231
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:57,590
judgment is

232
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,160
» correct. And we couldn't we don't have

233
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,839
the expertise anyway.

234
00:11:01,839 --> 00:11:07,920
>> Okay.

235
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,399
>> At some point by 5:00 tomorrow, it will

236
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:14,399
be in it will be in in the mailbox.

237
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:15,680
Yes.

238
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:16,959
>> All right. Well, thank you for your

239
00:11:16,959 --> 00:11:19,600
opinions and we will move on to our

240
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,480
agenda.

241
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,200
>> And uh next order of business is

242
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,560
approving our minutes of August 11th.

243
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:33,750
>> Okay.

244
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,880
I hope I had sent these out with all the

245
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,079
various

246
00:11:38,079 --> 00:11:41,519
>> Yeah, I just had a couple comments. Um

247
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:42,880

248
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,160
>> Okay, we're g since I was not at that

00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,360
meeting. Let's make sure that Lori Let's

make sure that you can hear what the

251
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,720
comments are in case there's something

252
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,040
to be edited.

253
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:55,519
>> Go ahead.

254
00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:57,600
>> Okay. All right. uh under the highway

255
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,480

sentence the fire hydrants will also be

00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:05,360
continued to be worked on the fire

258
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,800
hydrants are completed um not sure where

259
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,560
the confusion's name but

260
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:13,680
>> that's one okay

261
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:17,040
>> and then on the next page

262
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,320
>> um second paragraph

263
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,760
>> saying they were completed at the time

264
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,600
of the meeting

265
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:22,240
>> okay

266
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,519
>> um Mr. Goodrich. And a second paragraph,

267
00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:28,000
second page, uh that starts with Mr.

268
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,200
Goodrich. Um

269
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,200
and goes on to say, "Superintendent

270
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,240
Leblanc will get pricing in the morning.

271
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,800
Can we say get pricing for a Hall Street

272
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,760
paving?"

273
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,000
>> Yeah.

274
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,480
>> Just so we don't go back to this and

275
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,279
>> Well, I thought that was also for scary.

276
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:49,839
>> No, this is for Hall Street. This is for

277
00:12:49,839 --> 00:12:51,920
actually

278
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,560
Well, that That was, you know, both both

279
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:56,959
streets had repairs to do.

280
00:12:56,959 --> 00:12:58,320
>> Was it for both? No.

281
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:58,880
>> What's that?

282
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,040
>> Was it for Scary Lane and Hall Street?

283
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,720
You were getting a price for the

284
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:03,440
patches.

285
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,079
>> Yes.

286
00:13:04,079 --> 00:13:06,480
>> Okay.

287
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,320
>> So, build that. I'm curious to I just

288
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,519
need to know if we, you know, come down.

289
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:15,360
We got to be able to close that circle.

290
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,320
So,

291
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,560
>> okay.

292
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,519
>> Did Does that make sense, Lori? Did you

293
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:23,920
get those two comments, Lori?

294
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,120
>> All set.

295
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,720
>> Okay, thank you. That's it.

296
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,560
>> Thank you. Okay,

297
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:33,760
so with those two

298
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,639
edits, anybody else have any questions

299
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:42,470
or comments?

300
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:42,959
» No.

301
00:13:42,959 --> 00:13:46,399
>> We're looking for a motion and a second.

302
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:48,079
I'll make a motion we approve the

303
00:13:48,079 --> 00:13:49,519
minutes

304
00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:50,800
>> as amended.

305
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:51,600
>> Okay.

306
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:52,320
>> A second

307
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,920
>> and seconded by David. All right. Lori has that. All in favor?

308
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,279
>> I.

309
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:02,560
>> So there are four Lori. There are four

310
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:05,040
approvals and I am abstaining. I was not

311
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,160
at that meeting.

312
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,040
>> All right.

313
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,279
If we're good with that, let's move on

314
00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:15,199
to

315
00:14:15,199 --> 00:14:18,230
Norm.

316
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,199
You're up.

317
00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:22,320
>> All right. So, uh we obviously went

318
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,360
through the banks the uh all of all the

319
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,000
open work with our water department has

320
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,760
been completed

321
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,079
except for the uh one last shut out over

322
00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:39,760
at the little league fields which we'll

323
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,399
do before October that's in dirt so

324
00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:46,079
that's not a real big deal. Um we've had

325
00:14:46,079 --> 00:14:49,199
a couple days again we talked about

326
00:14:49,199 --> 00:14:51,279
street. So the first thing to say during

327
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:55,120
any of the time that we worked there was no

328
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,639
um

329
00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:58,800
you know that happened at any time in

330
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,560
order to neighbor came out and told us

331
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,600
anything. Uh I understand his concern

332
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,800
about where the upper culvert is. That's

333
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,040
just where it has to be. There's tons of

334
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,680
big trees and you know that's life.

335
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,519
Collvers on the side of the road are not

336
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:15,120
uncommon. We can walk around and see a

337
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,279
hundred of them in the buildings. Uh

338
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:19,920
about the culverts that have been

339
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,959
replaced across the road. I was told

340
00:15:22,959 --> 00:15:25,680
long ago that that you know for somehow

341
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,440
when they built the development they put

342
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,040
them in. They're 40 plus year old metal

343
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,320
culvers they were on. Okay. And uh we

344
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,240
can go back and forth to say, you know,

345
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,639
at the height or whatever, but uh

346
00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:41,040
they're put in now at a height that they

347
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,480
will take water. And you would have seen

348
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,320
that road for years drive by and the

349
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,320
water did not fall into those powers. Um

350
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,880
so with that being said, we have a

351
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,880
unique opportunity.

352
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,519
Uh, and usually most of my world

353
00:15:55,519 --> 00:15:57,279
revolves around these kind of things,

354
00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:00,399
but the town of Bennington is delayed a

355
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:03,120
little bit in some paving and we can

356
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,120
have our paver we hire every year come

357
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,880
and probably do it tomorrow to pave that

358
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,279
stretch of road over where we have done

359
00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:14,560
that's all broken up.

360
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:15,279
>> Yeah.

361
00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:17,279
>> And really what I say we should

362
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:19,040
definitely shoot with this. Okay.

363
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,079
There's there's about 6 in rut down

364
00:16:22,079 --> 00:16:23,199
through there when you're out there in

365
00:16:23,199 --> 00:16:24,480
the rain and you see it. And we've

366
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,600
broken a lot of that that down.

367
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,360
>> So it'll yield about an inch and a half

368
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,120
of black top by the time he fills it and

369
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,519
skims it. But he would patch that side

370
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:36,079
of the road and you see where it is

371
00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:38,639
broken up. So as soon as our plows go

372
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:40,560
over it, it's going to destroy it.

373
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,120
>> So what section are you talking about?

374
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:43,839
The entire

375
00:16:43,839 --> 00:16:46,160
>> talking about the house. No, the house

376
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,759
before Steve.

377
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:51,759
>> Yeah. to or to uh George Street.

378
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:53,839
>> Okay. where they're going to pick up a

379
00:16:53,839 --> 00:16:55,680
good spot and they're going to end in a

380
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,560
decent spot and they're going to re

381
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,079
reshape

382
00:17:00,079 --> 00:17:04,000
that road right there and basically just

383
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,880
do a one bolt and done patch and that

384
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,480
will take those rucks out of that road

385
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,760
to let that water

386
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,679
>> but on that one section of the road

387
00:17:13,679 --> 00:17:15,039
>> just that one section

388
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:18,079
>> because when you go further towards

389
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:21,280
Madison it's very crumbly along

390
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,400
>> the whole road

391
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,400
But I know that we talk about doing that

392
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,600
in a future year,

393
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,600
>> right? And you know, so so in our big

394
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,559
plan, unless the world changes, you

395
00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:36,880
know, maybe we sell uh Adam

396
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,559
donation of the body or something, we

397
00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:41,919
get a lot of money from uh you know,

398
00:17:41,919 --> 00:17:44,480
we're three to four years pave that

399
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,200
road. Okay?

400
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,559
>> You know what I mean? And that that's

401
00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:48,080
realistic because you know, our next one

402
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,559
we're going to do is salary. We got one

403
00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:54,000
more drainage piece on that. I don't

404
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,480
have my tape work yet, but it's coming

405
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,679
very soon. We have all the pipe, but we

406
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:01,919
don't have the boxes, but I don't know.

407
00:18:01,919 --> 00:18:05,679
We're running out of time this winter.

408
00:18:05,679 --> 00:18:07,440
Uh, but we were never going to pay that

409
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,000
this year.

410
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,440
>> No, I I not going to. That's why I'm

411
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,200
still trying to envision what you're

412
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,000
talking about.

413
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,360
>> No, what I'm talking about is a patch.

414
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,559
>> A patch. Okay. on Mechanic Street where

415
00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:22,559
that water is rotted out and that whole

416
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:23,760
sides broke.

417
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,240
>> Okay. So, where you started up

418
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,919
down from George Street and started

419
00:18:31,919 --> 00:18:35,120
building the the culvert in there,

420
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:37,120
>> is that the way it's going to stay or

421
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:38,960
will it have rock or

422
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,880
>> No, that's the way just like that.

423
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,080
>> That's the way they're going to stay.

424
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,679
It'll just grow grass.

425
00:18:43,679 --> 00:18:44,080
>> Okay.

426
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,840
>> And and that'll be it. Now, we'll watch

427
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,200
it and maintain it and look at it

428
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,039
through the year.

429
00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:52,799
uh we're going to try to to stab pave it

430
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:55,440
in ourselves.

431
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,919
It's really hard to get that kind of

432
00:18:57,919 --> 00:18:59,679
width and get that length.

433
00:18:59,679 --> 00:19:01,600
>> So, what's the expense of that?

434
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,679
>> 21.

435
00:19:03,679 --> 00:19:05,760
And if he'll do it to and he'll if he's

436
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,870
going to do it while he's here.

437
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,799
» Um it's a good bite out of the budget.

438
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:17,280
>> It is. We're planning on paving scary

439
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,520
lane this year.

440
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,400
>> So, so some of that should be there.

441
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,320
>> Uh, you know, I'm sure if we need, you

442
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,160
know, for taxes maybe, you know, would

443
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,919
be three, four weeks till we get through

444
00:19:27,919 --> 00:19:29,440
this pay, it won't be a problem with

445
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:29,840
that.

446
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,360
>> So, you're So, you're saying it's

447
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:33,120
basically a replacement.

448
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:34,480
>> It's basically a tax.

449
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,320
>> No, no, no, no. Meaning you're not going

450
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,520
to do scary.

451
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,679
when we did earlier when when we sat

452
00:19:41,679 --> 00:19:44,000
down and did the budget for this fiscal

453
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:44,559
year.

454
00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:45,120
>> That's correct.

455
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:48,000
>> The number for scary was in that's was

456
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:48,880
in

457
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,679
>> Okay.

458
00:19:49,679 --> 00:19:52,880
>> I mean that's if it's if it's not doing

459
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,559
one and doing the other and they're

460
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:55,919
similar pricing.

461
00:19:55,919 --> 00:19:56,720
>> Yeah.

462
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,679
>> Then I I mean

463
00:19:57,679 --> 00:19:58,559
>> Okay.

464
00:19:58,559 --> 00:20:02,160
>> Can I just ask a question about what 21

465
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,280
means? Is that 20

466
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,480
>> 21

467
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,840
>> 21,000?

468
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,600
>> Yeah. if it was $21 and 2100. They

469
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,200
wouldn't even be asking, you know, by

470
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,080
the time they got to tell Keyway

471
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,480
and do a couple things, but it'll be,

472
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,000
you know, it'll be a patch. And what

473
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,360
happens when you go out there, it is

474
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:20,960
deep and it's, you know, we're no

475
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,039
stranger to deep cos go down on Park

476
00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:24,559
Street and you see that, right?

477
00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:24,960
>> Yeah.

478
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,520
>> And why we had to do those delineators

479
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,120
out and we'll probably do a couple of

480
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:31,919
them for that. But it's water is your

481
00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:34,240
humongous issue. And uh when we head

482
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,960
over to to Madison Road, you take a walk

483
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,320
in Madison Road.

484
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,600
>> You stand there and you look at that

485
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,840
driveway and you see how deep that is.

486
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:42,240
>> Yeah.

487
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,200
>> Right. To get water to move,

488
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,799
>> you know. So, but this is we're going to

489
00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:51,039
be there for a couple years. That whole

490
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:52,640
side of that road was destroyed before

491
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,320
we got there. We've seen that. So, it

492
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,480
needs to be fixed.

493
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,640
Well, I will tell you, I walk and bike

494
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,840
that every single day, and I do not feel

495
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,559
like I'm going to fall into the ditch.

496
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:08,000
And uh I I do anxiously await the day

497
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,280
that there's a good pavement to walk on,

498
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,520
but in the meanwhile, you just you're

499
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,840
just careful.

500
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:16,240
>> So,

501
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,440
>> well, it's never going to be wide on the

502
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,400
first sidewalk.

503
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,559
>> No. And we had talked about the dance

504
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:23,039
street. A sidewalk

505
00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:25,520
>> probably past the cemetery has never

506
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,440
even been in the the realm of

507
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,320
>> No, I don't think that would be we well

508
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,000
a whole different subject because a

509
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,080
whole different scoping study needed.

510
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,799
But at any rate, um you know, I defer to

511
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:39,679
you when you know what needs to be done

512
00:21:39,679 --> 00:21:42,000
and how it needs to be done. And

513
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,679
>> you know it's we

514
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:46,799
>> save on that other ones we we've uh

515
00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:49,520
>> and again doing some things we're in old

516
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,960
Ben right now so there'll be a little

517
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,320
income from that.

518
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,520
>> Uh it's really we need to capitalize.

519
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,240
We're so small and we we do so much so

520
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,919
little we need to capitalize on when we

521
00:21:59,919 --> 00:22:01,280
can do it.

522
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,720
>> You know he's got a free day. It's going

523
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,320
to save him money. Going to save us

524
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,440
money.

525
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,760
>> I'm okay with it.

526
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:08,960
>> Any other questions?

527
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,360
>> Just just

528
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:13,919
Uh how many lineal feet has that run

529
00:22:13,919 --> 00:22:15,200
that you're talking?

530
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,159
>> Yeah, you know off the top of my head

531
00:22:18,159 --> 00:22:19,679
because we were on the phone and you

532
00:22:19,679 --> 00:22:20,960
know trying to do something else while

533
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,600
he's over there probably 100 yards or

534
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,840
something you know what I mean to you

535
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,520
know goes

536
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,440
>> you know he's going to start so we have

537
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,440
Steve's house we'll just use that as a

538
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,080
landmark.

539
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,559
>> Okay. So before it and when we were out

540
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:36,320
there last week when the rain when the

541
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,400
rain came, okay, we've always assumed

542
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,799
that it came mostly from Lor and I think

543
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:42,960
after it rains for a couple hours, it

544
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,200
definitely comes at a large field.

545
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,799
There's a little cutout in the back by

546
00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:49,360
that tree and it'll come down

547
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:51,919
>> but a ton of it comes from the other one

548
00:22:51,919 --> 00:22:55,840
from the the Cory acres roadside and the

549
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,559
way that goes and the three houses all

550
00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:00,000
their gutter systems come out on the

551
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,520
front lawn. So, it's catching all that

552
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:02,880
water and then it's bringing it right

553
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,200
immediately out the driveways

554
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,919
>> and then it and then it comes. Well, now

555
00:23:07,919 --> 00:23:09,520
last week when we when we were out

556
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,480
there, that first caller was taking all

557
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,960
the water. Not I mean, it was blowing

558
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,400
right on the other side of the road just

559
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,640
like it's supposed to. And an hour after

560
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:19,919
it rained, you couldn't even tell there

561
00:23:19,919 --> 00:23:22,000
was water on the other side. So, that's

562
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:22,480
good.

563
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,440
>> Yes.

564
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,840
>> The other color, it was in that big

565
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,159
rough. So, I knocked that down and we

566
00:23:28,159 --> 00:23:30,400
were seeing if it's better, but when I

567
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,200
heard I might have a shot and get it

568
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,080
cleaned up.

569
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,039
>> Okay.

570
00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:38,320
>> I I made a call and I just got it at

571
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:39,760
4:30 tonight.

572
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,360
>> Okay.

573
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:42,880
>> All right. Thank you for answering my

574
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,400
questions. I've got a better

575
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,280
understanding why 21 times.

576
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,720
>> And if you're on that side of the road,

577
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,320
which we do see a lot of walkers in the

578
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,679
morning when they get there, it won't be

579
00:23:51,679 --> 00:23:53,919
all that black and it won't be uneven.

580
00:23:53,919 --> 00:23:56,000
It'll be an even surface

581
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,080
>> at least for that stretch. That'll be a

582
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:58,880
welcome thing.

583
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,120
>> And I mean we could the whole world

584
00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:04,320
needs to go but we are in in reality

585
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,720
unless the world changes we are three to

586
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,000
four out

587
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:08,400
>> okay

588
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,679
>> for that road and this will be a good

589
00:24:11,679 --> 00:24:12,320
patch

590
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,480
>> and that that is that all of that

591
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,640
capital planning is the topic of another

592
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,880
discussion at another time. So we won't

593
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,159
take that up now. Um,

594
00:24:22,159 --> 00:24:23,919
>> I was just going to comment that the

595
00:24:23,919 --> 00:24:27,360
weather would be great tomorrow also.

596
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:28,159
>> Yeah.

597
00:24:28,159 --> 00:24:31,200
>> I mean, we may not get this this many

598
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,720
good days.

599
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,120
>> Yeah. Well, that happened a couple years

600
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:38,720
ago. October rain 27 31 days.

601
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,799
>> Yeah. So, uh,

602
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:42,559
>> opportunity cost, right?

603
00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:44,640
>> Tara, did you have any questions on this

604
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,159
discussion?

605
00:24:46,159 --> 00:24:47,919
>> Nope. Tara has no questions. All right.

606
00:24:47,919 --> 00:24:50,720
Then we're looking for a motion. Mary.

607
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,919
>> Yes.

608
00:24:51,919 --> 00:24:53,840
>> Um,

609
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,240
uh, has anyone mentioned, uh, the

610
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,279
College Road? Because College Road also

611
00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:01,360
has an axle

612
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:05,279
breaking, uh, pothole on it.

613
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:08,400
>> I I think we will.

614
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:09,039
We

615
00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:11,919
>> ble and shims are Yeah, they're

616
00:25:11,919 --> 00:25:13,520
different. Yeah. We've certainly been

617
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,039
around

618
00:25:15,039 --> 00:25:18,000
>> constantly. We we paved College Road

619
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,600
whether you want to believe it or not

620
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,120
maybe

621
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,120
eight years ago.

622
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:26,799
Uh but the the sad face and that's what

623
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:29,440
in new new tanks we've been doing right

624
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,080
is actually zipping road up magnesium

625
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,600
and grinding them back in because the

626
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,320
reflective cracks keep coming and

627
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,720
>> but if there is a significant issue Kim

628
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,960
let's let's address that with with norm

629
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,360
separately because right now it's just

630
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,679
finishing up the mechanic street is the

631
00:25:47,679 --> 00:25:49,200
issue at hand here.

632
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,760
>> Sure.

633
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,600
But I I think everybody should feel free

634
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,440
if they see something that needs to at

635
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,360
least bring it to someone's attention.

636
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:01,520
So there's nothing wrong with doing

637
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,919
that. We maybe can't fix everything

638
00:26:03,919 --> 00:26:06,159
immediately, but we should know about it

639
00:26:06,159 --> 00:26:09,120
and get it on a to-do list.

640
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:10,080
So,

641
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,240
>> so I'd like to authorize uh to uh make a

642
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,600
motion to authorize this change of

643
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,279
expenditures to mechanic street from uh

644
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:24,480
scary lane. Sorry, Ray.

645
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,000
>> There you go. Scary lane's in good

646
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,279
shape. Not that

647
00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:29,679
>> um

648
00:26:29,679 --> 00:26:32,559
>> and not as well tracked as much travel.

649
00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:36,400
>> No, probably less traffic.

650
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,720
>> Okay. Thank you for that. I I'll happily

651
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:44,000
second that. So, here we go. Uh,

652
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,200
was that a yes, Tara? Yeah. Okay. Tara

653
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,960
had her hand up. I wasn't sure if it was

654
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,120
a question, but I'm thinking she she's

655
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:53,360
anticipating all in favor.

656
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:54,559
>> I

657
00:26:54,559 --> 00:26:57,520
>> Okay, good. We got that done. Um,

658
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,679
anything else, Norm?

659
00:26:59,679 --> 00:27:02,640
>> Uh, no. I mean, uh, we're right now

660
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,679
we're again, um,

661
00:27:05,679 --> 00:27:07,200
doing a little project for our neighbors

662
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,799
over in Old Bington. We started that

663
00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:10,640
today. That that shouldn't take, I don't

664
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,039
know, four or five days, uh, to

665
00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:15,200
complete. We'll be in and out.

666
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,440
>> Um,

667
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,960
that's it for this year.

668
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,360
>> Uh, over there, we just, as you just

669
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:24,640
said, you know, we still got time to do

670
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,320
uh the bus stop.

671
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,720
>> Yeah. that's scheduled in our cohorts

672
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,799
have almost all been replaced. The only

673
00:27:32,799 --> 00:27:36,080
thing we have left is the one on the

674
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,720
excuse me the the very first one you

675
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,360
come to on Hall Street and uh had a call

676
00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:42,640
with one of the homeowners today. I

677
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,080
believe we're going to have that paper

678
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,200
on rightway side.

679
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:45,919
>> Okay.

680
00:27:45,919 --> 00:27:47,200
>> I don't know if we'll be able to put

681
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,760
that in this year, but the the plan is

682
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,640
it'll be on spring be the first one to

683
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,360
go in. Boom. And then we'll we'll do

684
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:56,159
that road.

685
00:27:56,159 --> 00:27:57,520
>> Okay. you know, we'll have to talk

686
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,240
about, you know, do we want a curved,

687
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,480
you know, and all that other stuff.

688
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,039
>> Well, we can do another meeting with the

689
00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:09,520
residents over there and see what they want, too.

690
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,679
>> Yep, we can. Um,

691
00:28:11,679 --> 00:28:13,120
>> if that's advised.

692
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:15,840
>> Uh, yeah. I mean, it's it's it's both.

693
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,480
The the street was curved. You know, I

694
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,679
would do what uh again copy what our our

695
00:28:21,679 --> 00:28:23,600
neighbor do with Bennington with that

696
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,880
slip form guy. Uh so they sell 30 grand

697
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,799
for him to come in and then the

698
00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:30,559
concrete's all on top of that after we

699
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:33,760
dig it. Uh but again, once we do this

700
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,080
road the way we are doing it, we're out

701
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,960
of that road business

702
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,159
for the rest of most of our lifet. Does

703
00:28:42,159 --> 00:28:45,200
a curb

704
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,080
does it improve the longevity of a of

705
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,360
the black top on a road?

706
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,360
>> It does because it directs water and

707
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,480
keeps a spot where the lawns end, you

708
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,000
know, because everybody, you know, keeps

709
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,159
creeping and creeping and creeping.

710
00:28:58,159 --> 00:29:05,360
>> Um, you know, where the lawns end. It's a place where water runs. It stays

711
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,760
doesn't jump in. Especially the other

712
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,840
house at the bottom. We've had problems

713
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,520
with the way that road is. Oh,

714
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,559
>> now hopefully we can reshape that uh a

715
00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:18,960
little bit. And again, so that has a 6

716
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,120
in curve on that road. So we'll just use

717
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,200
like in front of Doug's house that that

718
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,679
curve is gone because we paved and paved and paved and paved,

719
00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:30,159
>> you know, and it's just all flatten. I

720
00:29:30,159 --> 00:29:32,320
mean, that thing was put in in the 30s,

721
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,360
you know, it's 100 years old, but you

722
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:36,960
know, it's all pieces. If I could save

723
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,399
it, I would. But it's it's not it's not

724
00:29:40,399 --> 00:29:41,039
feasible.

725
00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:43,600
>> Okay.

726
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,230
>> You know, it's going to make it better.

727
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,039
» Any other questions,

728
00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:54,240
>> comments or concerns? Thank you. Do you

729
00:29:54,240 --> 00:30:00,149
want to stay and hear Marks talk about

730
00:30:00,159 --> 00:30:02,159
» Feel free to come up here if you want.

731
00:30:02,159 --> 00:30:04,159
>> Okay.

732
00:30:04,159 --> 00:30:07,360
Thank you. um

733
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,640
to deal with people for several years

734
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,880
now. Um feels like times. Um I was uh

735
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,600
contacted about a month ago by a

736
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,240
softball group. Men's I should say

737
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,080
adult. I'm not sure it's co I believe

738
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,720
it's a men's softball group that wants

739
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,200
to use it and are willing to do the work

740
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,679
to establish the infield again. um

741
00:30:31,679 --> 00:30:34,559
mostly with inind uh there may be some

742
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:36,880
sharing. I haven't got that far yet. Uh

743
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,720
and then a couple of weeks after that, I

744
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,520
was contacted by a youth baseball and

745
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,760
softball program that's interested in

746
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,600
the same. It's also going to put some

747
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,200
money into the field. Um again, no

748
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,880
details yet. There's just two interested

749
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,480
parties in establishing a baseball

750
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,360
softball field again. Um they're doing

751
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,520
some other improvements as you know as

752
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,559
they go along. Uh, I'm going to meet

753
00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:04,000
with both parties just to make sure that

754
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,240
one doesn't I told them both there is no

755
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,360
such thing as exclusive beer um apples

756
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,120
for everybody. So, anybody that wants to

757
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,640
use this, they get a chance to obviously

758
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,320
those that put resources to will get um

759
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,200
priority in scheduling, but

760
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,720
um I'm just here to let you know that

761
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,120
things are still moving and to make sure

762
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,919
you pursue that because obviously it

763
00:31:25,919 --> 00:31:28,640
wouldn't be um I know used to be part of

764
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,200
that as sort of boneyard

765
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,039
extension up in the parking. So, if this

766
00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:34,240
does go through, it won't be till next

767
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,080
year. If it does go through, obviously

768
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,399
we have to provide some arcing because

769
00:31:38,399 --> 00:31:41,600
there's not much beyond that. Um, but

770
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,279
it's it's the early talks in the house,

771
00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:44,799
but it couldn't give you a timeline. I

772
00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:46,240
know they're both interested in using it

773
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,399
by next year. Uh, I believe the softball

774
00:31:48,399 --> 00:31:51,919
is a summer summer program. So, um, I

775
00:31:51,919 --> 00:31:54,080
will be as long as you want me to

776
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,159
proceed with

777
00:31:56,159 --> 00:31:57,760
making this thing go and report back to

778
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,519
you whenever I have information, I can

779
00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:01,200
get back to them and start the meeting

780
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,480
and see other ways they go. Do you uh

781
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,279
ever talk to Brian Boomer at all?

782
00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:10,080
>> Do I ever? I mean, I can.

783
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,000
>> And the only thing I put Let's see if we

784
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,159
can get his building trade class to put

785
00:32:14,159 --> 00:32:16,880
roofs on those two guys.

786
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,399
>> That's something I was going to talk

787
00:32:18,399 --> 00:32:19,919
these guys willing to do that too.

788
00:32:19,919 --> 00:32:21,519
>> Okay. So, we'll rip them off.

789
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:23,039
>> I will. Yeah. And I told him, so that

790
00:32:23,039 --> 00:32:24,799
would be I I always think whenever I've

791
00:32:24,799 --> 00:32:27,039
talked to anybody about deals, I always

792
00:32:27,039 --> 00:32:28,960
give a big shout to Southwest Tech. And

793
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,799
I'm happy to go. In fact, I've talked to

794
00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:32,159
Brian maybe a year and a half, two years

795
00:32:32,159 --> 00:32:34,159
ago about doing some work there. So, I

796
00:32:34,159 --> 00:32:37,519
will reach out to him again. Um, I might

797
00:32:37,519 --> 00:32:38,880
wait to see what the other guys are

798
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,640
willing to do because if they're willing

799
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,559
to do that, we have zero in materials if

800
00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:47,039
we take it on the material, which is

801
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:49,760
pennies. It's not a big project. And I

802
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,360
hope there is some money and I

803
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,080
anticipate that we will be um putting in

804
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,720
some money out of the um park and rack

805
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,799
budget um but we'll see what they're

806
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:01,440
willing to do. cost first.

807
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,840
>> Yeah. Love to see if that

808
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,519
>> I understand we don't have to ever deal

809
00:33:05,519 --> 00:33:06,000
with that.

810
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:06,799
>> Yeah.

811
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:09,600
>> And it sure seems like the whole idea

812
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,760
was to make that field

813
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,600
usable like it used to be.

814
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:16,399
>> It sat there

815
00:33:16,399 --> 00:33:19,600
>> and and encouraged people to use that

816
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:20,799
part of our village.

817
00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:22,640
>> Yep. So it sat there and it sat there

818
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,640
with the baseball field in field and

819
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:25,760
playing to go

820
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,679
>> and we couldn't get

821
00:33:27,679 --> 00:33:32,880
>> um this is in no way impacts the soccer

822
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:33,840
field.

823
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,120
>> Nope. That's the thing. The reason we

824
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,559
took out the reason we did what we did

825
00:33:36,559 --> 00:33:37,279
there

826
00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:38,640
>> was that home,

827
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:39,440
>> right?

828
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,880
>> If we were going to put a proper soccer

829
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,480
field, football field, lacrosse field,

830
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,559
any other field on there,

831
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:47,039
>> you would have had to have gone on the

832
00:33:47,039 --> 00:33:48,559
infield to play. And I grew up in

833
00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:50,960
Vermont. I told the several soccer

834
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:51,679
fields that

835
00:33:51,679 --> 00:33:52,159
>> Yeah.

836
00:33:52,159 --> 00:33:53,679
>> you would run across an injury field and

837
00:33:53,679 --> 00:33:55,360
it was a broken ankle.

838
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:55,919
>> Yeah.

839
00:33:55,919 --> 00:33:58,320
>> So the reason we did what we did was to

840
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,320
make it so we could have an established

841
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,120
injury field and have a utility field

842
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,200
and one could impact both.

843
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,960
>> And I did mention to them too. So these

844
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,919
sorry I got um fencing is probably

845
00:34:09,919 --> 00:34:11,919
important for them. I said it would be

846
00:34:11,919 --> 00:34:13,679
they would not be allowed permanent

847
00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:16,159
outfield fencing. Uh it would it would

848
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:17,760
look a lot like what they do at the high

849
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,359
school right now with the softball

850
00:34:19,359 --> 00:34:21,359
baseball fields. Basically, for lack of

851
00:34:21,359 --> 00:34:22,720
other words, it's like a snow melt.

852
00:34:22,720 --> 00:34:24,399
>> So, it's a temporary collapsible. The

853
00:34:24,399 --> 00:34:25,919
kids run through it. It's a safety net

854
00:34:25,919 --> 00:34:30,480
that drops down. Um and that would be on them

855
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,359
>> and has there been um any queries about

856
00:34:33,359 --> 00:34:36,879
using the field for soccer?

857
00:34:36,879 --> 00:34:39,359
>> Uh well, there's a mostly about men's

858
00:34:39,359 --> 00:34:41,119
leagues. I mean, I've approached Mike

859
00:34:41,119 --> 00:34:43,200
Malloy at the high school once we get

860
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,520
it. Uh, I know the YMCA is always

861
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,320
looking for so I talked to them um about

862
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,919
using it for their summer programming.

863
00:34:49,919 --> 00:34:51,200
It's a great spot for them because it's

864
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,800
right by the lake. They can do two

865
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:53,839
weekly deals. So, yeah.

866
00:34:53,839 --> 00:34:57,040
>> Um, there's plenty of interest in

867
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,320
certain things. Um,

868
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,680
in my opinion, we people get really

869
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,599
nervous about things happening too fast.

870
00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:07,680
So, crawl into several of these things

871
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,680
and see how it goes. But I've got an

872
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:10,800
issue that I won't share right now

873
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,440
because people too.

874
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,200
But yeah, things are things are moving.

875
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,079
It's just

876
00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:17,520
>> Yeah, we dumped a lot of money to that

877
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,040
and my biggest fear was that.

878
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:19,520
>> Well, thank you.

879
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,200
>> I kind of steered that and then if it

880
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,240
sat there

881
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:23,680
>> empty, it was a waste of money.

882
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:24,560
>> Yeah.

883
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,240
>> I appreciate everything that you guys

884
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:27,680
have all done.

885
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,760
>> We've all got a lot of equity in it and

886
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,640
hoping to pay off. And we were going to

887
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,119
um talk mention while you're here and

888
00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:38,240
while Norm's here just the uh the caring

889
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:40,880
for canopy grant that the village had

890
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,800
and the trees that were put in and the

891
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,720
marvelous work that Norm and Kyle and

892
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:49,119
the crew did to get that whole bank

893
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:52,400
ready to put the fence in. And um the

894
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,520
trees look magnificent over there.

895
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,880
There's 11 of them and three different

896
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,400
varieties,

897
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,280
maybe four. Uh, of course they're small

898
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,280
now, but they'll they'll get there.

899
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,000
We've got a few pictures and, uh, Ron

900
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,960
Penrook and his crew just did such a

901
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,079
good job. That's great.

902
00:36:12,079 --> 00:36:14,880
>> And they cleaned everything up and it

903
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,359
looks it looks great. So,

904
00:36:17,359 --> 00:36:20,800
>> and yet another improvement and help

905
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,200
from a number of people to get a grant

906
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,680
written and accepted and done.

907
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,040
Um, I was talking to Mark about I

908
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,040
remember Norm saying that during that

909
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,520
process of fixing the field, we saved

910
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,040
the old clay from the

911
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,480
um original foot that baseball field.

912
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:43,839
>> You weren't able to.

913
00:36:43,839 --> 00:36:44,400
>> No.

914
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,240
>> Oh, okay. I thought I thought that was

915
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:48,000
something you were hoping to do.

916
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,359
>> No. No. That bulls right up with

917
00:36:51,359 --> 00:36:52,960
everything else. That old play is right

918
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,839
in the middle of left field.

919
00:36:55,839 --> 00:36:57,040
>> Okay.

920
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,119
>> So, I thought we'd be able to reuse some

921
00:36:59,119 --> 00:37:00,720
of that, but I guess we're gonna have to

922
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:01,599
get over.

923
00:37:01,599 --> 00:37:03,440
>> And typically, you know what? Doing

924
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,760
that, you

925
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,760
knowing the condition it was in, you

926
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,280
probably just shortened the life of that

927
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,640
actually being successful and actually

928
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,240
taking they would had to probably gone

929
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:14,160
over with so much new stuff. But I

930
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,680
appreciate the thought and norm one of

931
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,880
the biggest throws to you was their uh

932
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:24,880
willing to mow. So mowing was one of the um

933
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,560
things they threw out there is because

934
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:27,760
they understand that we're not going to

935
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,079
mow it to their specs. So they're both

936
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:31,760
willing to take that on at least for the

937
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:32,800
portion of the field they're going to

938
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,200
use. All right, thanks. Which I know is

939
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:36,960
a big

940
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,800
>> big falling for you.

941
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,880
>> And then I guess I would have to ask all

942
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,960
these questions can be sorted out later

943
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:43,599
on,

944
00:37:43,599 --> 00:37:47,040
>> but are there insurance liability issues

945
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,000
that we have?

946
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,280
>> So any any team that you had that they

947
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,400
have to carry a certain amount of

948
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,359
insurance?

949
00:37:53,359 --> 00:37:55,680
>> Um, and we would if they're if they're

950
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,000
going to use our fields as a as a

951
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,000
recognized organization, they would ask

952
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,119
what their insurance they don't have to

953
00:38:01,119 --> 00:38:03,280
carry. And anybody that would do any

954
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,480
kind of grounds maintenance norm gets to

955
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:06,800
have

956
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,480
>> I would not let anybody touch that field

957
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:08,880
without

958
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,960
>> okay having norm say

959
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:11,440
>> okay

960
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:12,560
>> don't do that because it's going to be

961
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:13,839
on our way in the future.

962
00:38:13,839 --> 00:38:14,160
>> Okay.

963
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,880
>> So yeah I'll before we do anything we'll

964
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,160
do nothing up there without

965
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:18,640
>> okay

966
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,240
>> making sure Norm's part of the

967
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:23,040
conversation. And besides that I'll I

968
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,960
won't let anybody do anything before I I

969
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,640
told them I have a lot of good ideas. I

970
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,800
have no say in anything.

971
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,839
I'll be here and tell you guys

972
00:38:29,839 --> 00:38:31,200
everything they're planning so it gets

973
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,240
everybody first.

974
00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:34,240
>> Well, thank you because it is so

975
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:37,440
exciting to see all of this rejuvenation

976
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,839
happen and things for people of all

977
00:38:39,839 --> 00:38:40,480
ages.

978
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,240
>> Yes. And over the whipple I think is

979
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:43,839
going to come back too. They been in

980
00:38:43,839 --> 00:38:45,920
Bang for a couple years because of the

981
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,440
work. And you did get my text about go

982
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,720
ahead you can do whatever you want to do

983
00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:51,040
with it.

984
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,520
>> Yeah, we're filming researching that.

985
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,640
and he found a a fell that uh is big

986
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,599
cotton like goes all over the country

987
00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:03,440
works for golfers and uh and his comment

988
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,680
to me was fertilized. Yes, grass seeds

989
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,680
where all your money is. If we can't

990
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,760
water it, don't waste you guys.

991
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,000
>> And uh you know, so we're still really

992
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,359
looking at

993
00:39:15,359 --> 00:39:17,680
>> the best way to do it, you know, and

994
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,200
that's our biggest thing. We're right

995
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,680
next to a huge water source. We have no

996
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,440
real water in it.

997
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,359
Because that the one water feed there I

998
00:39:25,359 --> 00:39:27,440
assume is not nearly adequate to water a

999
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:27,920
field.

1000
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,520
>> Yeah. Got it.

1001
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,720
>> It's a split very small line.

1002
00:39:32,720 --> 00:39:35,440
>> Does that have to be considered being

1003
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,599
added?

1004
00:39:37,599 --> 00:39:40,000
>> Well, I don't know. I don't I don't even

1005
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,440
know if it the water r so far away. You

1006
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:44,240
know, it was

1007
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:45,839
>> too bad you can't pump something right

1008
00:39:45,839 --> 00:39:47,200
out of the lake.

1009
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,040
>> Well, it that's that's been a thought.

1010
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,280
uh you know it has its own issues u fish

1011
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:56,480
wildlife

1012
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,640
>> you know what I mean all different kinds

1013
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,000
of

1014
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:00,560
>> permits

1015
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,079
>> things you know what I mean if there was

1016
00:40:02,079 --> 00:40:04,320
a a dry hydrant

1017
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,119
>> in the lake that you know which I guess

1018
00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:08,720
you know

1019
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:10,320
>> I'm surprised there's not there's never

1020
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,040
been because it's a good water source

1021
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,160
>> uh but water water is an issue so it is

1022
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,720
what it is and u you know that field is

1023
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:20,640
way better than it ever was And in the

1024
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,359
process, it can't hurt to bring it up

1025
00:40:23,359 --> 00:40:24,880
when we're talking these fols too and

1026
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:29,670
knows what they're willing and

1027
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,200
» you know it would also um

1028
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,480
you know it would be a big demand

1029
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,160
to try to water something like that

1030
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,040
would be a huge demand and you know the

1031
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:46,790
water board would 100% have to be

1032
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,000
» fully on board but it would be like late

1033
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:50,960
night,

1034
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,480
>> you know, we had to have an automatic

1035
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:53,040
system

1036
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,680
>> or you have trucks that come and spray

1037
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,640
and I don't know how that works.

1038
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,119
>> Yeah, that's really hard because it's so

1039
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:03,119
big. It's seven acres. I mean, you think

1040
00:41:03,119 --> 00:41:05,119
about that that field that that's what

1041
00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:07,359
it'll load up to

1042
00:41:07,359 --> 00:41:11,200
>> and uh you know, trying to spray it with a fire truck or something like

1043
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,359
that. It's just you know, it's such a

1044
00:41:13,359 --> 00:41:14,079
deal. And

1045
00:41:14,079 --> 00:41:14,800
>> yeah,

1046
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,400
>> um you know, we had to put the fence

1047
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:17,680
there to keep people out of it.

1048
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,280
Hopefully I'll be able to get out this

1049
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:20,640
winter and get all the water out of

1050
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,720
there, right? So, we don't want that

1051
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:25,839
water. Uh

1052
00:41:25,839 --> 00:41:29,119
you know, but uh but water is really

1053
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:32,400
bad. It's too bad

1054
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,920
the lake, but I think uh you know that

1055
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,280
that's a whole big ri.

1056
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:40,160
>> Okay.

1057
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,240
>> And last, just in mentioning seven

1058
00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:44,480
acres, this will be it. Um, do we have a

1059
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,200
site map of that with any kind of other

1060
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,839
than like the tax map? We'd have to get

1061
00:41:49,839 --> 00:41:51,200
one from the engineer.

1062
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,760
>> Okay. Can I um

1063
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,599
text you tomorrow and I can swing by the

1064
00:41:55,599 --> 00:41:56,319
garage?

1065
00:41:56,319 --> 00:41:59,920
>> Go to MSK. Go right through your

1066
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:00,560
pull up.

1067
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:01,280
>> Go where?

1068
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:01,920
>> NSK.

1069
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,319
>> Oh, okay. Perfect. Awesome. Thank you.

1070
00:42:04,319 --> 00:42:08,079
And that post with the pin on is made to

1071
00:42:08,079 --> 00:42:10,240
set a GPS on and then you take a walk

1072
00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:12,319
right off with their stick and boop boop

1073
00:42:12,319 --> 00:42:13,359
and set your wheels.

1074
00:42:13,359 --> 00:42:15,200
>> Awesome. That's why that post would

1075
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,960
never cut down.

1076
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,280
>> Perfect. Well,

1077
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:20,000
>> thank you.

1078
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Appreciate it. I'll be back.

1079
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,160
>> Okay.

1080
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,200
>> Thanks, March.

1081
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,319
>> Okay.

1082
00:42:26,319 --> 00:42:29,200
Okay. Um

1083
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,359
>> yes. Yeah. Okay. We are gonna move uh

1084
00:42:33,359 --> 00:42:35,200
just a minute.

1085
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,440
>> We're gonna go right to fire department

1086
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,760
because Doug needs a a minute of time.

1087
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,760
So, we're going to do this. All I wanted

1088
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,680
to do here and everybody has this. Um as

1089
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,000
part of the weatherization, I need to

1090
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,079
find my number. as part of the

1091
00:42:50,079 --> 00:42:52,960
weatherization that uh grant that we

1092
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:57,040
have. It's a lot of thermal envelope

1093
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,920
work that's done on this building, the

1094
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:03,040
garage and also the fire station. The

1095
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,800
windows at the fire station on that

1096
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,520
second floor were not part of this of

1097
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,839
the the grant recommendations,

1098
00:43:09,839 --> 00:43:15,040
but Bill Christian, who is our MERP,

1099
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,480
Municipal Energy Resilience Program, uh

1100
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,520
consultant on this, really uh uh

1101
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,200
encouraged

1102
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,240
these insulating window inserts to be

1103
00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:29,119
put on those big windows there. So he

1104
00:43:29,119 --> 00:43:31,839
measured for the window dressers

1105
00:43:31,839 --> 00:43:35,040
program, which is a volunteer community

1106
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,280
build

1107
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,680
program that builds these insulating

1108
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,200
window inserts. He measured everything.

1109
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:49,670
The job comes to $1,68.76.

1110
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,240
I'm quite sure that is on the warrant

1111
00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:56,480
that Doug will talk about. Um but um

1112
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,319
Chief Meyers, yes, Chief Meyers approved

1113
00:44:00,319 --> 00:44:05,359
the that the fire volunteers and those

1114
00:44:05,359 --> 00:44:06,079
who use that

1115
00:44:06,079 --> 00:44:07,920
>> willing to agree to it. Okay.

1116
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,960
>> Yes, they did agree to it. Um and that's

1117
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,680
that. So,

1118
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,520
I wanted specifically to have the

1119
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,040
trustees

1120
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,079
approve this expense because it is not

1121
00:44:22,079 --> 00:44:23,839
part of the grant and it will have to

1122
00:44:23,839 --> 00:44:26,240
come out of the building reserve, which

1123
00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:28,079
we do have a significant building

1124
00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:30,640
reserve to cover 16 Yeah. to cover

1125
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,000
$1,600.

1126
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,160
>> You want cover, you want a specific

1127
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,160
resolution as opposed to just the

1128
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,240
warrant because it is included. it is

1129
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:39,839
included in the warrant, but I thought

1130
00:44:39,839 --> 00:44:42,720
this is a a different kind of a program.

1131
00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:46,160
Um, and and I just wanted thought that

1132
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,880
in full discussion for the public, we

1133
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,960
should uh they should know what we're

1134
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,240
doing is and and it is not covered under

1135
00:44:56,240 --> 00:44:57,280
the grant,

1136
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,920
>> right? Are the these are the big picture

1137
00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:01,920
windows that face the parking lot and

1138
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:02,480
the

1139
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,319
>> all the ones on the top? Yes. Yes. Yes.

1140
00:45:06,319 --> 00:45:09,839
Bill Bill measured

1141
00:45:09,839 --> 00:45:11,680
>> I can't even tell you how many he's got

1142
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:12,720
here.

1143
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:13,520
>> There's a lot

1144
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,520
>> there's a whole bunch of them and then

1145
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,480
they have uh there's some smaller ones

1146
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,359
but he only did the fixed windows. There

1147
00:45:21,359 --> 00:45:24,000
are some that open up but he's not doing

1148
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,160
those because you don't you know even in

1149
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,079
the winter time you might need to vent

1150
00:45:28,079 --> 00:45:29,200
something.

1151
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,119
>> So that's what I'm looking

1152
00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:32,720
>> 25.

1153
00:45:32,720 --> 00:45:36,480
>> Okay. I'm looking for an approval.

1154
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,400
>> I'll make a motion that we approve the

1155
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,119
window dressers

1156
00:45:43,119 --> 00:45:46,160
uh proposal for

1157
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:50,000
outfitting the fire department building

1158
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,319
with

1159
00:45:52,319 --> 00:45:53,119
what do you call them?

1160
00:45:53,119 --> 00:45:55,359
>> Insulating insert window inserts.

1161
00:45:55,359 --> 00:45:56,319
>> Thank you.

1162
00:45:56,319 --> 00:46:02,069
>> I'll second $168.76.

1163
00:46:02,079 --> 00:46:04,240
» You got it. Second.

1164
00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:06,160
>> Second. No, I beat you.

1165
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,599
>> Ah, did

1166
00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:08,079
>> Okay.

1167
00:46:08,079 --> 00:46:10,640
>> All right. Thanks, Tara. All in favor

1168
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,000
then?

1169
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,160
>> I Okay, Lori, that's unanimous. We move

1170
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,440
on from that. Um, since uh Doug is still

1171
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,520
out talking, let's move DRB, Development

1172
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:28,400
Review Board. um a meeting scheduled on

1173
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,400
Wednesday

1174
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,400
um September 23rd that will be posted

1175
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,119
and warmed and interested people can see

1176
00:46:37,119 --> 00:46:39,920
what that is about. It has to do with

1177
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:45,359
the um AARP bus station grant that Norm

1178
00:46:45,359 --> 00:46:47,359
alluded to and I will talk about that

1179
00:46:47,359 --> 00:46:50,079
later on in the day. So we are done with

1180
00:46:50,079 --> 00:46:53,440
that. Okay, now we are back uh and

1181
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,359
actually kind of on time here. Um, back

1182
00:46:57,359 --> 00:46:58,560
to Doug.

1183
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,200
>> All right. Thank you. Um, I'm going to

1184
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,240
do the warrants first. Um, and then I'll

1185
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:06,319
do my report after.

1186
00:47:06,319 --> 00:47:10,319
>> Um, so two warrants. Um, first is the

1187
00:47:10,319 --> 00:47:13,599
payroll warrant. Um, so for the month of

1188
00:47:13,599 --> 00:47:15,920
August, again, just as a reminder since

1189
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,079
it's still pending new, uh, we have the

1190
00:47:18,079 --> 00:47:21,440
breakdown of the taxes, the retirement,

1191
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,520
uh, and the payroll fees and then a lump

1192
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,800
sum for total payroll dollars. So, the

1193
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,560
total payroll warrant for the month of

1194
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:33,510
August is 16,45425.

1195
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,440
» So move

1196
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,470
second.

1197
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,480
» No questions, Tara. Nope. All in favor?

1198
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:43,520
>> I

1199
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,280
>> Okay, that's another one. Unanimous,

1200
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:46,319
Lori.

1201
00:47:46,319 --> 00:47:49,280
>> Okay,

1202
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,560
then I have the

1203
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,440
uh late August and September warrant.

1204
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,760
Um, so the vast majority of things on

1205
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,960
here are going to be general or we've

1206
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,680
talked about um the the couple of larger

1207
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,560
items. The KS State Bank, that is the

1208
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:12,400
annual um payment for the fire truck. Um

1209
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,640
and again for still for several more

1210
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,480
years of that 28,93021,

1211
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,880
we have a $10,000 amount that comes out

1212
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,760
of a reserve fund. Um, so that will

1213
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,760
transfer either this month or next

1214
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,559
month. So the true amount that is

1215
00:48:28,559 --> 00:48:31,359
budgeted um and that is paid out is the

1216
00:48:31,359 --> 00:48:33,839
18,000 of that because we had uh

1217
00:48:33,839 --> 00:48:36,400
proceeds from the sale of the truck of

1218
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,640
the older truck. Um the next largest

1219
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,800
item, the VLCT

1220
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:45,760
that is quarterly for insurance. Um,

1221
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:49,200
and a lot of the other ones, the MSK,

1222
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,800
uh, contact, those have to do with, um,

1223
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,200
projects that Norm just spoke about. So,

1224
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,400
Culvert work, Paul Street work, uh,

1225
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:02,640
things like that. Um, I did send out the

1226
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,160
breakdown for the detail. Um, so if

1227
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:07,680
there's no other questions, then the

1228
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:11,040
total on this is, is the window dresser

1229
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:11,680
staying on?

1230
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:12,079
>> Yes.

1231
00:49:12,079 --> 00:49:18,470
>> Okay. So 71,79933.

1232
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,200
» All right, I'll move it.

1233
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,119
Second.

1234
00:49:23,119 --> 00:49:26,240
>> All in favor?

1235
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:29,040
>> Okay, Lauren, we got that unanimous to

1236
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,160
>> Okay.

1237
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:34,160
>> Um, so treasurer's report. Um, I know

1238
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:35,920
it's going to seem like we're kind of

1239
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,720
beating the dead horse, but I have um

1240
00:49:38,720 --> 00:49:41,839
the tax anticipation note is going to be

1241
00:49:41,839 --> 00:49:46,079
here. Um, so this is the final portion

1242
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,760
of that. Um, the way that the bank um

1243
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,880
requires it to be done is the final

1244
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:54,800
documents have to be signed at the

1245
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,800
meeting um under open meeting law. So

1246
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:00,800
all the numbers figures are the same as

1247
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:02,400
last month and the month before that we

1248
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,559
discussed. So first thing we need to

1249
00:50:04,559 --> 00:50:08,079
have is a motion um for the board, the

1250
00:50:08,079 --> 00:50:10,960
treasurer and the clerk to sign the

1251
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,760
documents provided by community bank for

1252
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,319
the tax anticipation note line of credit

1253
00:50:16,319 --> 00:50:20,950
in the amount of $181,939.

1254
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:22,319
» I'll make it.

1255
00:50:22,319 --> 00:50:25,839
>> I'll second that.

1256
00:50:25,839 --> 00:50:28,720
No questions. All in favor?

1257
00:50:28,720 --> 00:50:30,160
>> I

1258
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,160
>> Okay, so I will circulate these

1259
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,119
documents. Uh, Tara, you are excused

1260
00:50:35,119 --> 00:50:37,280
from signing because we only need a

1261
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,920
majority of wet signatures. So, with

1262
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,640
four of the trustees here in person, we

1263
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,040
are fined. The treasurer and the clerk

1264
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,760
um will also sign. So, those I will

1265
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,240
circulate um to have those sign. I'm

1266
00:50:50,240 --> 00:50:52,240
going to just go through everything.

1267
00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:55,200
>> Um, any questions about that? We've kind

1268
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:56,559
of talked about it a couple of months

1269
00:50:56,559 --> 00:50:59,359
now, so this is just kind of the the end

1270
00:50:59,359 --> 00:51:01,839
of it. Um,

1271
00:51:01,839 --> 00:51:05,280
so the next item, uh, tax billing. Um,

1272
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,160
the tax bill process has begun actually

1273
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,880
in earnest this afternoon. Um, I had a

1274
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,359
call with our, um, company that we use

1275
00:51:13,359 --> 00:51:17,359
that provides the the online services.

1276
00:51:17,359 --> 00:51:19,760
Um, and had that call for about an hour

1277
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,000
and a half before I came here. Um, I

1278
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,640
have a couple of next steps, but my goal

1279
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,119
is to have all tax bills in the mail by

1280
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:30,079
Friday. Uh, tax due date will be

1281
00:51:30,079 --> 00:51:32,079
November 10th, the same as Bennington

1282
00:51:32,079 --> 00:51:35,119
and Shaffsberry. Um, we all kind of make

1283
00:51:35,119 --> 00:51:37,040
sure that our dates line up for the most

1284
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,280
part. Um, Bennington, North Bennington

1285
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:40,960
are always identical. Once in a while,

1286
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,760
Shaffbury changes theirs if it's uh a

1287
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:45,920
certain day or if it falls on holiday.

1288
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:47,839
It doesn't always match up. But I

1289
00:51:47,839 --> 00:51:49,440
believe this year because the 10th of

1290
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,520
November is not a holiday or a weekend.

1291
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,800
So it's an easy day. Um so those will

1292
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,960
come out. I will begin to put notices on

1293
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,839
the website uh regarding Homestead. So

1294
00:51:59,839 --> 00:52:02,720
anybody who may be listening um online

1295
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:06,400
now or views this uh you have until

1296
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:10,400
October 10th to update, modify, file

1297
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,960
your homestead. Um that has to be done

1298
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:14,880
with the state of Vermont. I cannot do

1299
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,200
that for you, nor can anybody within the

1300
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:18,640
village of North Bennington, the town of

1301
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,720
Bennington, or the town of Shaspberry.

1302
00:52:20,720 --> 00:52:22,880
Um, that is normally done when you file

1303
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,760
your income taxes. Um, but if you don't

1304
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,839
file income taxes for a variety of

1305
00:52:27,839 --> 00:52:29,520
reasons, there is a form that can be

1306
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,920
filled out for the homestead exemption.

1307
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,720
Um, and if you are on an extension, you

1308
00:52:34,720 --> 00:52:37,040
still would want to get that done. Um,

1309
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:38,880
the sooner the better because right now

1310
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,680
is what's called the penalty phase. um

1311
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,000
you can still file as a homestead, but

1312
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,839
uh because it's considered a late file,

1313
00:52:45,839 --> 00:52:48,240
there is a percentage that they deduct

1314
00:52:48,240 --> 00:52:50,559
from that. Um and the closer that it

1315
00:52:50,559 --> 00:52:54,559
gets to October 15th, the higher that gets. Um again, that's a state

1316
00:52:54,559 --> 00:52:56,400
process. We have nothing to do with

1317
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,319
that. Um so I will put those

1318
00:52:58,319 --> 00:53:00,319
instructions on the website uh within

1319
00:53:00,319 --> 00:53:02,640
the next week or so. Um and it'll just

1320
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,400
be the website and the phone number

1321
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,880
again because we don't do anything here.

1322
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,599
>> Um in-person hours, everybody always

1323
00:53:09,599 --> 00:53:11,520
asks about that. I usually start the

1324
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,760
week of Columbus that gives about a

1325
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,319
month. So I'll have an evening and

1326
00:53:16,319 --> 00:53:18,160
Saturday mornings that I will be here

1327
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,720
and I will also be here on uh tax day

1328
00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:22,960
itself for a few hours in the afternoon.

1329
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,119
So once I figure out all the days and

1330
00:53:25,119 --> 00:53:27,520
times I will put that usually it's the

1331
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,079
same. So usually it's uh it'll probably

1332
00:53:30,079 --> 00:53:31,760
be Thursday evening and Saturday

1333
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,559
mornings other than tax day. Um, all of

1334
00:53:34,559 --> 00:53:36,880
that will go onto the website and I will

1335
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,640
post those hours in the banner on the

1336
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,599
depot door, the library, and the post

1337
00:53:43,599 --> 00:53:45,359
office. They always put those in all the

1338
00:53:45,359 --> 00:53:48,240
same spots. Um, anybody have any

1339
00:53:48,240 --> 00:53:53,270
questions about tax billing?

1340
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,200
Um, okay. Only other couple of notes

1341
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,920
that I have. Um, once I get tax billing

1342
00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:59,680
situated, I will catch up on a couple

1343
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,440
other reports. So, by the end of the

1344
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,400
month, I'll send out the new um budget

1345
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,160
versus actual. I have to put the budget

1346
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,079
into QuickBooks. So, that will be my

1347
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:10,319
next step after tax billing is done. So,

1348
00:54:10,319 --> 00:54:12,160
I'll get that out. So, you'll have from

1349
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,800
July 1st to current. And same thing with

1350
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,319
the cash accounts. I'll get the last

1351
00:54:16,319 --> 00:54:18,079
couple of accounts reconciled that I

1352
00:54:18,079 --> 00:54:20,640
haven't finished up on. Um and I'll

1353
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:22,720
update that to to you guys before the

1354
00:54:22,720 --> 00:54:26,240
end of the month. Um I think that's all

1355
00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:28,000
I have unless there's any other

1356
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,319
questions. Something just popped into my

1357
00:54:30,319 --> 00:54:34,480
head. And do we, you know, people who ha

1358
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:38,800
who do road work and have to provide the

1359
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,720
bond for uh for digging in the right of

1360
00:54:42,720 --> 00:54:45,200
way? Do we have anybody? Wasn't there

1361
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:46,960
somebody that we had to pay back this

1362
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:47,440
year?

1363
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:48,880
>> No, I believe it's next year.

1364
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,400
>> It's next year. Okay. I thought there

1365
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:51,040
was somebody.

1366
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:52,559
>> No, somebody had inquired about it, but

1367
00:54:52,559 --> 00:54:54,160
Norm confirmed that it hadn't been a

1368
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,200
year. It was project was was

1369
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,520
>> it wasn't just done but it's not

1370
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,760
>> because that's that is my understanding

1371
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,720
is that's a calendar year.

1372
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:05,040
Yes.

1373
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,240
>> And I do not believe that the last one

1374
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:08,880
has has been a

1375
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,760
>> calendar into my mind that at some point

1376
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,599
there was a email about it and I

1377
00:55:13,599 --> 00:55:13,920
couldn't

1378
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:15,280
>> correct. Yeah. And I think Norm had

1379
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,280
confirmed that it was not had not been a

1380
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:17,680
year.

1381
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,599
>> No, you're all correct. Okay.

1382
00:55:19,599 --> 00:55:20,400
>> Okay.

1383
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,480
>> This is a bond for a person working on

1384
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,280
the road. So when when somebody digs

1385
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,760
into the roadway for certain things,

1386
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,319
they have to provide a a bond to the

1387
00:55:30,319 --> 00:55:32,559
village in case the work is done shoddy

1388
00:55:32,559 --> 00:55:34,319
or they miss something, right?

1389
00:55:34,319 --> 00:55:37,359
>> If Norm has to go and fix it. So the way

1390
00:55:37,359 --> 00:55:39,680
that the contract or the form is written

1391
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,920
is the village holds the money for one

1392
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,000
year from the date of completion of the

1393
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:44,960
project.

1394
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,960
>> Again, so Norm can make sure that

1395
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,640
something doesn't happen, the pavement

1396
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,799
doesn't collapse or, you know, any of

1397
00:55:50,799 --> 00:55:52,079
those types of things. So that's what

1398
00:55:52,079 --> 00:55:52,559
that's for.

1399
00:55:52,559 --> 00:55:54,720
>> We would have money to return perhaps.

1400
00:55:54,720 --> 00:55:56,559
>> Correct. It just goes into the It goes

1401
00:55:56,559 --> 00:55:58,880
into the village's account and then once

1402
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:00,880
I'm notified that the time has lapsed,

1403
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,440
then we cut a check to that homeowner um

1404
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:04,880
and we return the funds.

1405
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,960
>> I'm sure they'll let you know.

1406
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,440
>> Right. And I think the question was just

1407
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,280
because the project was done, but the

1408
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,280
time hadn't elapsed

1409
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,920
>> um was what it was. I believe norm may

1410
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,720
be able to clarify if if it but that's

1411
00:56:18,720 --> 00:56:19,200
my

1412
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,040
>> just one of those things that personally

1413
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,040
I think it's nice to be ahead of and not

1414
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:24,880
wait for somebody to say hey you missed

1415
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:26,720
the deadline

1416
00:56:26,720 --> 00:56:29,200
>> you know it's my money so all right

1417
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:33,920
thank you any other questions for Doug

1418
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,160
>> no

1419
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,359
>> all right sounds excellent

1420
00:56:39,359 --> 00:56:42,799
thank you um

1421
00:56:42,799 --> 00:56:48,079
where are we now We did that. We did that. Planning Commission.

1422
00:56:48,079 --> 00:56:50,960
Okay. So, couple of things that we want

1423
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,400
to look at here. First and foremost is

1424
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,040
um the administrative policy for

1425
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,920
short-term rentals and the annual fee

1426
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:02,720
that we talked about. Ken, do you want

1427
00:57:02,720 --> 00:57:06,480
to take over from here and just make do

1428
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,960
this discussion or not?

1429
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,280
>> No, we we've left it to the trustees at

1430
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,000
this point. Um Okay. So, it's

1431
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,520
the planning commission has done all the

1432
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,760
work that

1433
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,240
uh we think is a precursor to their

1434
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:21,520
decision.

1435
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:24,880
>> Okay. All I wanted that's that's fine.

1436
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:30,799
So trustees I will go to my thing here. Give me a minute. I need to find

1437
00:57:30,799 --> 00:57:33,280
my my number. Oh, I'm looking for four.

1438
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:36,240
Number four. Here we go.

1439
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:40,079
Okay. So, this has been around for a

1440
00:57:40,079 --> 00:57:42,240
while. I'm hoping that you all have had

1441
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,760
plenty of time to read this. Um because

1442
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,880
again, if we have an ordinance, it's

1443
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,599
only a good idea unless you have some

1444
00:57:51,599 --> 00:57:53,839
way to follow up and make sure that

1445
00:57:53,839 --> 00:57:55,520
people are doing what they're supposed

1446
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:56,799
to be doing.

1447
00:57:56,799 --> 00:58:00,160
>> Um in this ordinance, again, we are

1448
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,200
giving work to the to the village clerk

1449
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,599
as the lead person to administer all of

1450
00:58:05,599 --> 00:58:08,960
this. the clerk can ask for assistance

1451
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,359
from the board in which case the

1452
00:58:11,359 --> 00:58:13,760
trustees we will appoint one of our

1453
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,799
members to help the clerk. So first and

1454
00:58:16,799 --> 00:58:19,680
foremost I would want to know what our

1455
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,760
clerk Lori has felt about this um this

1456
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,240
policy and procedure and was this

1457
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,000
something that you would request help

1458
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,030
for.

1459
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:37,599
» I think it's fine. I don't foresee it being so busy that I

1460
00:58:37,599 --> 00:58:40,559
would need to request help, but if I do,

1461
00:58:40,559 --> 00:58:43,680
I will um ask one of you.

1462
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,160
>> Okay. I just didn't think it would be

1463
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,480
right to assign work without asking your

1464
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:50,000
opinion.

1465
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:51,920
>> Does that mean that Lori would be

1466
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,960
receiving the annual fees? It means that

1467
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:58,720
Lori would be the one to take the form,

1468
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,160
the short-term rental registration form.

1469
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:03,200
>> Yes.

1470
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,400
>> Do the first of all, do the research.

1471
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,440
Look on the VBO, the Airbnb, whatever

1472
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,680
those sites are. Find out who is

1473
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,559
advertising things in North Bennington.

1474
00:59:14,559 --> 00:59:17,839
send the registration form um and

1475
00:59:17,839 --> 00:59:20,240
perhaps a copy of the policy or whatever

1476
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:26,720
we need um to uh to that individual and

1477
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,880
then request the fee which we have to

1478
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:32,960
vote on um and the the registration form

1479
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,599
back. Keep that in a file. Of course,

1480
00:59:35,599 --> 00:59:40,640
any uh um income goes any checks go to

1481
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,280
Doug and Doug does the accounting for

1482
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,720
that. Um, but yes, Lori would Lori would

1483
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,680
have to do this and it says that we do

1484
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:55,109
this by July 1st of every year.

1485
00:59:55,119 --> 00:59:57,839
» Okay. And the fee that was proposed was

1486
00:59:57,839 --> 00:59:58,799
$100.

1487
00:59:58,799 --> 01:00:00,160
>> Yes.

1488
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,920
>> And I just saw a mistake here. Under the

1489
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:07,359
what? Who? What? The third one down. It

1490
01:00:07,359 --> 01:00:10,720
says an annual fee. It should say an

1491
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:14,319
annual fee. I missed a capital A. So,

1492
01:00:14,319 --> 01:00:17,760
we'll get that in there.

1493
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,880
>> Well, okay. So, do we are we voting on

1494
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:21,920
this

1495
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:23,599
>> as a a final vote?

1496
01:00:23,599 --> 01:00:25,839
>> We need to have a motion and a vote on

1497
01:00:25,839 --> 01:00:28,400
the fee and then the procedure.

1498
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:29,200
>> Well,

1499
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:33,119
>> or both. I'll move that we adopt the

1500
01:00:33,119 --> 01:00:35,920
administrative plan policy for the

1501
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,559
short-term rentals including the annual

1502
01:00:38,559 --> 01:00:42,160
fee as stated $100

1503
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,520
accepting the small correction to be

1504
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,040
>> okay.

1505
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:48,480
>> Thank you.

1506
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:49,760
>> I'll second that.

1507
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,640
>> Seconded that. Any questions from you,

1508
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,319
Tara?

1509
01:00:54,319 --> 01:00:58,079
>> Nope. Uh all in favor?

1510
01:00:58,079 --> 01:01:01,440
Hi. All right. Um, since I did have one

1511
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,440
change to this, I will come around and

1512
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,160

September

1515
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:15,440
of 2026. Okay. Thank you. We'll do that.

1516
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:19,280
Um, the other thing unless unless Kim

1517
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,920
you were going to mention that I was

1518
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,200
going to just uh since most tr since I

1519
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,400

safety and uh it's a subgrant grantee

1524
01:01:45,119 --> 01:01:50,480
meeting. The parent dan was one of two

1525
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,559
that were selected by the state for

1526
01:01:52,559 --> 01:01:59,280
study for um um safety issues.

1527
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:00,960
Kim, did I get that right? Is there

1528
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,079
anything I'm missing? No, that's right.

1529
01:02:04,079 --> 01:02:08,880
and the the we're one of two villages

1530
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:12,640

will find out what our requirements are

1532
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:20,960
to receive that grant on October 15th.

1533
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,520
>> Yeah. Could you repeat the time since

1534
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:24,559
that's on the board?

1535
01:02:24,559 --> 01:02:27,119
>> Yes, it's on the email, but it is uh but

1536
01:02:27,119 --> 01:02:28,799
you'll want to find your email because

1537
01:02:28,799 --> 01:02:30,400
you'll need that for the team's meeting

1538
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:30,799

>> and it's just by Zoom.

1542
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,640
>> It is by Yes. by teams. So when you load

1543
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:43,440
that up, you'll get

1544
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,680
>> virtually the same thing just like

1545
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:46,160
version.

1546
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:50,720
>> Yes. But you'll you'll be able to get into that. So

1547
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:51,119
>> Okay.

1548
01:02:51,119 --> 01:02:54,160
>> I think that is good news. We just had

1549
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,000
we had you know the whole discussion

1550
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:57,920
about the safety of the

1551
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:04,720
>> of the of the dam and um you know hazard timing things like that. So there

1552
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:05,440
we are.

1553
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,520
>> Kim, is there anything else you would

1554
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,480
like to comment on?

1555
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,599
Well, I I'll mention that one of our uh

1556
01:03:13,599 --> 01:03:16,720
citizens uh Rob Wilmington uh had a

1557
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:22,319
proposal for the study of the uh how to

1558
01:03:22,319 --> 01:03:26,640
draw down the reservoir level if for

1559
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:28,559
knowledge of an extreme precipitation

1560
01:03:28,559 --> 01:03:31,200
event was available.

1561
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:37,680
Um and it was his uh initiative in

1562
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,520
copying

1563
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,160
uh several politicians that got us on

1564
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:45,200
the map here for this particular

1565
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:49,280
uh grant. So we owe him a thanks.

1566
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:51,599
>> Yes, thank you for that acknowledgement.

1567
01:03:51,599 --> 01:03:53,760
>> Yeah, think we can all thank Rome for

1568
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,160
that. But on the other hand, we can

1569
01:03:56,160 --> 01:04:00,720
thank Scott here who was bringing this

1570
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:05,589
uh to the attention and

1571
01:04:05,599 --> 01:04:07,839
also

1572
01:04:07,839 --> 01:04:11,280
uh pushing for people to come down and

1573
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:12,400
look at

1574
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:13,599
>> look at.

1575
01:04:13,599 --> 01:04:18,880
>> Yeah. And let me just say I have been um

1576
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:23,520
doing tours for so so far Rob Wilmington

1577
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,319
and I have walked around up at the dam.

1578
01:04:26,319 --> 01:04:28,000
>> Um

1579
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,119
Will Greer and I spent an hour and a

1580
01:04:31,119 --> 01:04:34,480
half going around. he was quite

1581
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:38,240
interested and then Tim Corkran came

1582
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,000
over

1583
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:44,400
and I believe he's the chair of the um

1584
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,280
House Transportation Committee. Yes. And

1585
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,280
Dan belongs to the transportation

1586
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:53,039
department. So, he'd be a good person

1587
01:04:53,039 --> 01:04:55,440
>> to I thought he would be a good person

1588
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,000
to speak with. And then I went to an

1589
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,680
event um last Saturday for the uh

1590
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,240
someone who's running for governor, the

1591
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,640
Democratic nominee,

1592
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:08,799
and I brought it up when there was it

1593
01:05:08,799 --> 01:05:10,559
was a meet and greet and I had a few

1594
01:05:10,559 --> 01:05:13,359
moments where I could uh bring it up.

1595
01:05:13,359 --> 01:05:16,400
So, actually, um

1596
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,920
uh I haven't been doing nothing. I've

1597
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:24,799

1598
01:05:24,799 --> 01:05:28,319
uh that we need to get some state

1599
01:05:28,319 --> 01:05:30,000
involvement here.

01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,960
Um the other thing the the other person

1601
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,000
that might that we should acknowledge

would be or the other group would be um

He's trying to add Bill. Yeah, Bill is

1621
01:06:32,559 --> 01:06:33,119
sorry, Bill.

1622
01:06:33,119 --> 01:06:35,599
>> I'm thinking of Jim Henderson.

1623
01:06:35,599 --> 01:06:36,880
>> Yeah. Yeah.

1624
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,520
>> Uh anyway, he's going to try to add

1625
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:42,960
>> the Lake Parent Dam onto the other four

1626
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,760
dam so that all five dams will be

1627
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:47,839
included in the same study. So, I don't

1628
01:06:47,839 --> 01:06:50,319
know if that was involved here, but it's

1629
01:06:50,319 --> 01:06:52,640
all going our way. It seems like

1630
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:53,839
>> at least

1631
01:06:53,839 --> 01:06:55,119
>> I mean, nothing's been done.

1632
01:06:55,119 --> 01:06:56,799
>> Nothing has been writing letters.

1633
01:06:56,799 --> 01:06:57,280
>> Yes.

1634
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,400
>> Yeah. So I didn't I didn't mouth when I

1635
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:02,559
mentioned people because he's been

1636
01:07:02,559 --> 01:07:03,920
instrumental as well.

1637
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:06,559
>> But I guess perseverance with all

1638
01:07:06,559 --> 01:07:09,839
involved and many thanks to a whole a

1639
01:07:09,839 --> 01:07:11,280
whole village of people.

1640
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,200
>> That's right. We are it's a big team

1641
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:14,319
project.

1642
01:07:14,319 --> 01:07:18,400
>> Yes. And one more uh Seth uh Bongarts

1643
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:25,359
also spoke up for us. Um so that's one more to acknowledge

1644
01:07:25,359 --> 01:07:29,119
in more uh planning commission um

1645
01:07:29,119 --> 01:07:32,799
discussion. Uh we're aware of a

1646
01:07:32,799 --> 01:07:36,000
hazardous building complaint um that has

1647
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:39,280
gone to the trustees. Um

1648
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:45,200
we were involved initially in drafting a

1649
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:48,480
ordinance about that and were told uh

1650
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:52,400
that by our legal count that remains an

1651
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,680
issue solely for the trustees to pursue.

1652
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,559
So uh while we're following it with

1653
01:07:58,559 --> 01:08:00,720
interest um the planning commission's

1654
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:02,640
really not involved in that particular

1655
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,160
complaint

1656
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,319
>> and that is on our agenda under under

1657
01:08:06,319 --> 01:08:11,119
new business. Okay. And then um lastly

1658
01:08:11,119 --> 01:08:14,960
uh we have been um we've the planning

1659
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:18,080
commission has formed a subcommittee

1660
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:21,759
uh to discuss project costs

1661
01:08:21,759 --> 01:08:25,199
uh as um

1662
01:08:25,199 --> 01:08:29,440
they relate to zoning fees. That's how

1663
01:08:29,440 --> 01:08:32,640
we're currently uh charging zoning fees

1664
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:35,359
by asking the

1665
01:08:35,359 --> 01:08:39,199
uh applicants to identify

1666
01:08:39,199 --> 01:08:41,679
uh the project cost, but we've never

1667
01:08:41,679 --> 01:08:44,239
defined what should be included in the

1668
01:08:44,239 --> 01:08:49,279
project cost. And so we have uh drafted

1669
01:08:49,279 --> 01:08:52,719
a preliminary description of that and

1670
01:08:52,719 --> 01:08:59,359
also tried to uh look for fairer uh

1671
01:08:59,359 --> 01:09:02,319
zoning fee schedule

1672
01:09:02,319 --> 01:09:04,560
and we'll be discussing that and

1673
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:09,030
eventually bringing that to the trustees

1674
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,480
and that's really um what I have for the

1675
01:09:12,480 --> 01:09:14,319
planning commission at this point

1676
01:09:14,319 --> 01:09:17,359
>> and that Planning Commission meeting is

1677
01:09:17,359 --> 01:09:20,400
next week

1678
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,159
uh

1679
01:09:22,159 --> 01:09:23,040
>> 16th.

1680
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:31,829
>> The 16th. Yes.

1681
01:09:31,839 --> 01:09:34,080
» Kim, I had a quick question. Have you

1682
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:38,239
seen any uh report on this year's dam

1683
01:09:38,239 --> 01:09:40,000
inspection?

1684
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,239
>> No. The inspection I believe for a high

1685
01:09:42,239 --> 01:09:44,880
hazard dam is every two years. Right.

1686
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:48,080
And they did it in 24, which I had a

1687
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:53,279
copy of, and 26. They did it again, but

1688
01:09:53,279 --> 01:09:54,800
I don't know that they've issued a

1689
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:56,719
report yet. So, I just wondered if

1690
01:09:56,719 --> 01:09:57,360
you've seen

1691
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,440
>> I I have not seen one. No.

1692
01:09:59,440 --> 01:10:01,120
>> Okay. Thank you.

1693
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:02,880
>> Maybe that's something that a question

1694
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:06,960
that can be asked next week.

1695
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,440
I have uh in my correspondence with Rob

1696
01:10:09,440 --> 01:10:13,040
Wilmington, I have copied um Ben Green

1697
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,440
who's the head of that program.

1698
01:10:15,440 --> 01:10:19,669
>> Oh, good. Great.

1699
01:10:19,679 --> 01:10:22,239
» Okay. Any other questions for the

1700
01:10:22,239 --> 01:10:24,159
planning commission or regarding the

1701
01:10:24,159 --> 01:10:27,440
planning commission?

1702
01:10:27,440 --> 01:10:30,560
>> No. Okay.

1703
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:33,760
Um under new business uh first thing I

1704
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,719
wanted to just alert I don't again don't

1705
01:10:36,719 --> 01:10:40,960
have a lot of information on this but um

1706
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:44,320
thanks to Will Greer he alerted me to

1707
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:48,560
the fact that there is a

1708
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,440
national another national class action

1709
01:10:51,440 --> 01:10:55,120
lawsuit going on against a number of uh

1710
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,239
chemical companies for PAS

1711
01:10:58,239 --> 01:11:01,520
contamination. issues. Uh the deadline

1712
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:05,920
to just throw your name into the hat was

1713
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:10,480
um July 31st and he let he found out

1714
01:11:10,480 --> 01:11:14,080
about this on July 30th and let me know

1715
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:17,120
the next day. And so with 12 hours to

1716
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:20,400
spare, we he helped me find the the

1717
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:24,000
forms. and we are uh aligned with a a

1718
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,640
law firm called Grossman and Kelly, one

1719
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,910
of three

1720
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:33,360
um firms dealing with this.

1721
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:37,920
The first uh part of this is um for

1722
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:41,520
again for PAS remediation in in

1723
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:43,199
municipal

1724
01:11:43,199 --> 01:11:45,520
for municipal expenses. This is not

1725
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:48,320
individuals that had a well on their

1726
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,080
property and are looking for something

1727
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:54,719
like that. Um, I am still awaiting more

1728
01:11:54,719 --> 01:11:58,159
firm information. I did get an email

1729
01:11:58,159 --> 01:12:03,520
that um there are going to be some

1730
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,360
determinations

1731
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:08,880
made by the end of the year, if not

1732
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:12,400
sooner, um, for who what the

1733
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:16,880
dispersements will be. Um, I don't know

1734
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:20,080
the criteria for those dispersements.

1735
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:22,880
I'm waiting to get more information on

1736
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,760
that. For instance, I don't know if it's

1737
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:28,320
something based on an actual project

1738
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:31,840
that is submitted or is it based on some

1739
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:35,040
metric like population or something like

1740
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,040
that. So, we're trying to get all of

1741
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:38,800
those answers.

1742
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,600
The second part of this

1743
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:45,840
will be for PAS contaminated firefighter

1744
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,239
turnout gear. So this may be something

1745
01:12:48,239 --> 01:12:51,440
that down the line we can help our

1746
01:12:51,440 --> 01:12:54,719
volunteer fire department with um any

1747
01:12:54,719 --> 01:12:57,440
gear upgrades or replacements that they

1748
01:12:57,440 --> 01:13:01,360
may need. When we find out more about

1749
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:04,960
what this class action suit entails,

1750
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:08,320
what information the municipality has to

1751
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:11,360
provide to whom, when, where, why, all

1752
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,239
of that, um, we will call a special

1753
01:13:14,239 --> 01:13:17,520
meeting and make sure that especially

1754
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:22,159
people who may have um, wells that seem

1755
01:13:22,159 --> 01:13:25,920
still may be suspect or have that system

1756
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:32,159
in that has to filter out the the in the PAS um then we should invite the

1757
01:13:32,159 --> 01:13:34,000
public to that meeting and let people

1758
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:38,080
know that there may yet be some help on

1759
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:42,159
the horizon. Um I am don't want to

1760
01:13:42,159 --> 01:13:44,640
misspeak but I believe if memory is

1761
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:48,000
correct that this is some $30 billion

1762
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,880
dollar with a B uh involved in this

1763
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:54,320
nationally. So, uh, the this Grossman

1764
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:56,960
and Kelly company is dealing with a lot

1765
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,120
of smaller

1766
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:02,080
municipalities and so we have no

1767
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:05,840
obligation. We owe nothing if the

1768
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,960
village doesn't receive a dime. Um,

1769
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,840
there is a share of any settlement that

1770
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,480
does go to attorneys. It was fairly

1771
01:14:14,480 --> 01:14:17,920
high, but frankly to my mind, some piece

1772
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,400
of the loaf is better than none of it.

1773
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:22,560
Um,

1774
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,199
and when can a small village sometimes

1775
01:14:25,199 --> 01:14:28,400
do projects without without other

1776
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,960
assistance?

1777
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:31,600
>> So that's

1778
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:34,400
>> Can I ask a quick just a quick question?

1779
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,199
>> Is PF

1780
01:14:37,199 --> 01:14:39,920
the same thing as PFOA

1781
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,159
that we dealt with like two or three?

1782
01:14:42,159 --> 01:14:47,360
>> I am not a chemist. So somebody should say but there is an

1783
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:49,440
umbrella. My understanding is their

1784
01:14:49,440 --> 01:14:52,719
umbrella of the peak fast and the PFOA

1785
01:14:52,719 --> 01:14:54,560
is one of those under that

1786
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:55,040
>> right

1787
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:57,120
>> that umbrella. Thank you.

1788
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,840
>> So we um

1789
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:02,239
we went to a lot of trouble to get

1790
01:15:02,239 --> 01:15:05,040
people off their residential drinking

1791
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:09,040
water wells and hook them up.

1792
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:11,440
>> Um but the but this could be an

1793
01:15:11,440 --> 01:15:12,880
additional threat

1794
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:13,280
>> there

1795
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:15,360
>> beyond that. But there are people who

1796
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:17,600
would like to be hooked up that are not.

1797
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:19,440
>> Oh, no. We didn't get everybody.

1798
01:15:19,440 --> 01:15:22,159
>> Oh, okay. Oh, I thought

1799
01:15:22,159 --> 01:15:25,840
>> And then they changed the rules about

1800
01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:30,320
um how do I say this level of

1801
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:31,040
>> contaminant

1802
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:35,510
>> contaminated

1803
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:37,600
some people as well. But

1804
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,800
>> yeah, they water department is aware of

1805
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,440
this. I did um let them know that the

1806
01:15:43,440 --> 01:15:45,760
village has applied for this and this is

1807
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:47,920
even though it is a water system, it is

1808
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:50,719
this is a village project that we

1809
01:15:50,719 --> 01:15:53,679
desperately would need um the expertise

1810
01:15:53,679 --> 01:15:55,760
of the of the water department to help

1811
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,480
us do. Um but

1812
01:15:58,480 --> 01:15:59,040
>> thank you.

1813
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,440
>> Thanks to Will Greer, the village of

1814
01:16:01,440 --> 01:16:04,320
North Bennington is part of this.

1815
01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:05,920
>> Wow. Um,

1816
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:07,199
>> so yeah,

1817
01:16:07,199 --> 01:16:10,480
>> I just looked up PFAS and I'll just

1818
01:16:10,480 --> 01:16:12,960
>> tell tell you what that stands for.

1819
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:17,199
>> Per and poly floral alcohol substances.

1820
01:16:17,199 --> 01:16:20,229
>> Okay.

1821
01:16:20,239 --> 01:16:23,360
» So it's much more inclusive than PFOS.

1822
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:25,760
>> But Mary is right. The PAS is the

1823
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:28,239
broader umbrella. The PFOA is the

1824
01:16:28,239 --> 01:16:28,960
chemical.

1825
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:30,000
>> That was my point.

1826
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:30,640
>> Okay.

1827
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:32,880
>> Yeah. Yeah.

1828
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:34,880
It's it's the acid that we dealt with in

1829
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:39,520
uh the ChemFab area.

1830
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:43,440
>> Okay. So, the next item is um as was

1831
01:16:43,440 --> 01:16:47,600
alluded to uh by Kim, we had a citizen

1832
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:50,800
complaint regarding um Seven Main

1833
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:52,560
Street.

1834
01:16:52,560 --> 01:17:01,600
Um, I had sent out to everyone a draft of um

1835
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:05,600
of an informal notice. Um, it seems to

1836
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,480
me that the

1837
01:17:08,480 --> 01:17:10,560
most of the issue that was complained

1838
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,120
about has been corrected. There is no

1839
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,199
vegetation in front of the building

1840
01:17:15,199 --> 01:17:19,600
anymore. So, I'm not sure there is any

1841
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:23,120
uh any followup that we can do on this.

1842
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:27,440
Um, but I think the bigger issue, as Kim

1843
01:17:27,440 --> 01:17:31,199
alluded to, is that when there are

1844
01:17:31,199 --> 01:17:34,400
unsafe or hazardous conditions with a

1845
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:36,960
building, it is the trustes

1846
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:40,239
responsibility to do something. We don't

1847
01:17:40,239 --> 01:17:42,159
have a separate ordinance, nor do we

1848
01:17:42,159 --> 01:17:46,080
need a separate ordinance. it is already

1849
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:49,040
part of statute that

1850
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,760
you know municipal governance can take

1851
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:56,560
care of these things. So we we Chris

1852
01:17:56,560 --> 01:18:01,920
helped and we can have um you know just

1853
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:05,360
some some templates of these informal

1854
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,800
notices that we can can send to people

1855
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,760
when there is a citizen complaint and

1856
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:14,560
probably should do so and then should

1857
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:19,280
have at least our own agreement that um

1858
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:21,520
that it needs to be done and that it is

1859
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:23,840
our our respons responsibility.

1860
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:25,040
Um, so,

1861
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:28,000
>> so if I might ask Chris the question,

1862
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:31,679
did you actually go into the building or

1863
01:18:31,679 --> 01:18:33,920
you walked around? Well, it's hard to

1864
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:38,159
walk around, but uh,

1865
01:18:38,159 --> 01:18:40,080
so I I thought there was a complaint

1866
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,120
about intrusions into the building or

1867
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:46,320
openings in the building and

1868
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:48,640
maybe rats.

1869
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:51,199
>> Right. the complaints that came in have

1870
01:18:51,199 --> 01:18:54,480
all been put into this letter.

1871
01:18:54,480 --> 01:18:56,159
So

1872
01:18:56,159 --> 01:18:59,280
the pest and road structure

1873
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:02,560
instability was what was complaint was

1874
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:05,040
in the complaint.

1875
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:05,760
Yeah,

1876
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,080
>> it was the vegetation and that, you

1877
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:09,679
know, the vegetation growing, the

1878
01:19:09,679 --> 01:19:11,840
unsightly vegetation growing in front of

1879
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:16,480
the building and uh um you know, I don't

1880
01:19:16,480 --> 01:19:18,800
know if anyone interviewed the rats, but

1881
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:22,080
apparently there are there are rats or

1882
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,159
other rodents

1883
01:19:24,159 --> 01:19:31,760
>> on there. I I don't know. and and nor was there a complaint about um

1884
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,080
about the the safety of the structure

1885
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:35,920
itself.

1886
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:38,320
So I don't know

1887
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:41,760
whether we have anything to

1888
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:45,760
follow up on in terms of in terms of of

1889
01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:48,080
that complaint. The vegetation is not

1890
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:51,910
there.

1891
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:54,400
» Can I just ask a question? So you've got

1892
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:57,040
a complaint and you sent this letter.

1893
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,120
>> No, did not send a letter.

1894
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,760
>> So how did you contact the owner?

1895
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:02,800
>> No.

1896
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:03,440
>> Okay.

1897
01:20:03,440 --> 01:20:06,320
>> But when I did a complaint like this,

1898
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:08,960
like for a building on seven main street

1899
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,199
or bar it

1900
01:20:11,199 --> 01:20:13,120
>> I just basically sent it on to the

1901
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:14,239
trustees.

1902
01:20:14,239 --> 01:20:14,880
>> Okay.

1903
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:18,880
>> But and

1904
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:20,960
devising a method to deal with the

1905
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:23,280
complaint was suggested that Maybe

1906
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:25,040
giving formal letter to the property

1907
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:25,920
owner

1908
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,280
>> would be a starting point to say, "Hey,

1909
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:31,520
we've had neighbors complaining about

1910
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:32,880
the building

1911
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:36,960
>> and it's our trustees responsibility to

1912
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:40,159
handle that." And that's kind of a

1913
01:20:40,159 --> 01:20:42,159
starting point with property owner to

1914
01:20:42,159 --> 01:20:44,320
see what the response is.

1915
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:46,080
>> Got it. Okay. I thought you mentioned

1916
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:46,640
that.

1917
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:49,840
>> Yeah. the letter did not have the

1918
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:51,679
because it's a resp trustee

1919
01:20:51,679 --> 01:20:53,760
responsibility to do this. It's nothing

1920
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:56,239
that the zoning administrator would do.

1921
01:20:56,239 --> 01:20:58,640
But when I was trying to craft a draft

1922
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:00,719
to send to everybody to say, "What do we

1923
01:21:00,719 --> 01:21:04,880
do?" Chris was able to provide this

1924
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:07,679
template that we he and I sat and met

1925
01:21:07,679 --> 01:21:10,560
and we adjusted it because

1926
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:12,320
there were a few things in the in the

1927
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:15,280
general template that were not part of

1928
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:17,840
what anybody complained about. So, I'm

1929
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:19,679
not going to, you know, didn't think it

1930
01:21:19,679 --> 01:21:25,920
would be right to send that out. Now my question is now that at least the

1931
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:28,400
main part of that

1932
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:31,440
has been taken care of,

1933
01:21:31,440 --> 01:21:33,440
what do we send a letter about?

1934
01:21:33,440 --> 01:21:36,080
>> Mary, there have been two subsequent

1935
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:39,360
emails uh today.

1936
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:42,560
>> Uh I'm not sure you've seen those, but

1937
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:48,070
uh the complaint is still there.

1938
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:51,360
I saw a complaint about the garage

1939
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:54,960
behind it with with uh um you know the

1940
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:58,400
tractors and the lawnmowers in the road.

1941
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,159
>> Well, they said the vegetation was just

1942
01:22:00,159 --> 01:22:02,719
put behind powers instead of you know

1943
01:22:02,719 --> 01:22:06,320
just p the trash was moved up the street

1944
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:09,040
slightly.

1945
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:11,440
>> I I I can only say that there were

1946
01:22:11,440 --> 01:22:14,159
additional emails uh that you might want

1947
01:22:14,159 --> 01:22:16,880
to look at. Okay.

1948
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:17,440
Well,

1949
01:22:17,440 --> 01:22:19,600
>> wait. Are we talking about two different

1950
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:20,639
properties now?

1951
01:22:20,639 --> 01:22:22,159
>> I I guess

1952
01:22:22,159 --> 01:22:22,960
>> Yeah, they're

1953
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:26,000
>> the same person I saw an email from the

1954
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,040
same person who had the question on this

1955
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:32,400
building said that could we also do

1956
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:35,520
something about the building behind it

1957
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,080
where that equipment sometimes is in a

1958
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:38,960
street.

1959
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:40,960
>> Yes. Well, there's considerable history

1960
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:42,880
on that one and we got to consult the

1961
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:45,120
people who don't know the history

1962
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:48,080
>> and we do have I'm not even going to

1963
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:51,679
talk about that one today, but that one

1964
01:22:51,679 --> 01:22:54,560
was decided decades ago and there is a

1965
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:57,840
court order dated decades ago to deal

1966
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:01,120
with that and it was never ever pursued.

1967
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:01,600
So,

1968
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:02,960
>> take my name.

1969
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:05,920
>> It was partially pursued. Maybe it was,

1970
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:06,320
but

1971
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:08,719
>> because they they planted a screen of

1972
01:23:08,719 --> 01:23:11,040
trees to hide the back,

1973
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:13,280
>> but the main part of it,

1974
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:15,040
>> the walls are still there. Yeah.

1975
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:19,199
>> Anyway, my question is, what do what

1976
01:23:19,199 --> 01:23:22,719
does this body feel should be done about

1977
01:23:22,719 --> 01:23:26,080
the complaints on the property at 7 Main

1978
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:31,270
Street?

1979
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:33,280
» Sounds like we should at least look at

1980
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:36,320
it. But who's going to look at it?

1981
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:37,679
>> I can look at it.

1982
01:23:37,679 --> 01:23:38,320
>> Yeah,

1983
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:39,040
>> that's right.

1984
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:40,800
>> Did you see? Yeah.

1985
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:43,120
>> I mean, so far there's vegetation

1986
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:46,639
problem, but then there are uh

1987
01:23:46,639 --> 01:23:50,480
structural intrusions and there may be

1988
01:23:50,480 --> 01:23:50,719
uh

1989
01:23:50,719 --> 01:23:54,639
>> we don't there there was there is the

1990
01:23:54,639 --> 01:23:56,960
there is not a structural intrusion that

1991
01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:57,920
we know of.

1992
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:00,719
>> Okay. I thought there was a mention of

1993
01:24:00,719 --> 01:24:04,400
>> it was in it was and a one of the

1994
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:05,920
original

1995
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:13,840
um drafts had u something about that and it says

1996
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,480
rotted wood falling debris unmaintained

1997
01:24:16,480 --> 01:24:19,120
grounds. It's not all of it. It's the

1998
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:22,320
unmaintained grounds. But that was just

1999
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:26,159
kind of a general um but there's nobody

2000
01:24:26,159 --> 01:24:27,679
overgrowth

2001
01:24:27,679 --> 01:24:30,159
>> overgrowth and structural openings have

2002
01:24:30,159 --> 01:24:31,920
turned the property into a breeding

2003
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,719
ground. So you're correct there but we I

2004
01:24:34,719 --> 01:24:36,159
don't know that this is a

2005
01:24:36,159 --> 01:24:38,800
>> So can can we start at the beginning and

2006
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:42,000
can we get the property owners

2007
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:43,040
information?

2008
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:44,320
>> Yes, we have that.

2009
01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:45,199
>> We have that.

2010
01:24:45,199 --> 01:24:49,199
>> Yes. So, u

2011
01:24:49,199 --> 01:24:52,080
I mean somebody could call the property.

2012
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:53,600
>> Um

2013
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:55,600
we have an address and it's on the

2014
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:56,400
letter.

2015
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:58,880
>> We don't have a telephone.

2016
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:03,440
>> Yes. Um this sounds reminiscent of what

2017
01:25:03,440 --> 01:25:05,280
we were doing on Water Street with the

2018
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:08,080
rat problem with the garbage. What were

2019
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:10,560
the steps we took for the water street

2020
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:13,120
property? Because that might be the same

2021
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:19,679
process that we need to follow. That was um

2022
01:25:19,679 --> 01:25:23,600
a rats that actually were visible in one

2023
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:26,639
property and going to another and that

2024
01:25:26,639 --> 01:25:30,080
was dealt with by the referred to this

2025
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:32,320
town of Bennington sanitation

2026
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:33,520
department.

2027
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:35,440
>> Is this I know this isn't quite as

2028
01:25:35,440 --> 01:25:37,760
grievous as that but it is

2029
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:38,960
>> possible to do.

2030
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:40,639
>> It's in the same vein.

2031
01:25:40,639 --> 01:25:47,840
>> Yes. Yes, it's possible to do. Now, I

2032
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:50,719
I'm just looking for your advice because

2033
01:25:50,719 --> 01:25:54,480
I don't I haven't

2034
01:25:54,480 --> 01:25:57,760
seen a wrap. Um, not that they're not

2035
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:00,400
there. It seems likely.

2036
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:02,880
>> Well, any trash that isn't in a

2037
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:05,360
receptacle, as in like a closed garbage

2038
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:06,400
can or

2039
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:08,639
>> It's not trash, though.

2040
01:26:08,639 --> 01:26:12,000
>> It was It's not trash because it's an

2041
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:13,920
uninhabited building. So there's no

2042
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:15,360
trash.

2043
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:18,159
>> So why don't you call why don't you call

2044
01:26:18,159 --> 01:26:20,960
the property owner and tell them that

2045
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:23,360
there has been a complaint and tell them

2046
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:25,760
what the complaints are or write a

2047
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:27,120
letter.

2048
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:29,280
>> You know, that seems like the simplest

2049
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:31,679
thing to do, just to directly talk to

2050
01:26:31,679 --> 01:26:37,520
them and perhaps they'll clean it up or get back to you or something like

2051
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:38,639
that.

2052
01:26:38,639 --> 01:26:43,920
>> Oh, who is David had a thought? Well, I just I think I might know the owner.

2053
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,960
I'd have to confirm that, but um I I

2054
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:52,719
know who they are and

2055
01:26:52,719 --> 01:26:55,199
anyway, I I I think I'd be happy to

2056
01:26:55,199 --> 01:26:57,520
reach out to us if she

2057
01:26:57,520 --> 01:26:59,520
>> I was because my next thought was I was

2058
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:01,280
going to ask for who's volunteering to

2059
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:02,639
do this,

2060
01:27:02,639 --> 01:27:03,120
>> right?

2061
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:07,199
>> I I Chris take a walk around and look

2062
01:27:07,199 --> 01:27:09,440
around. has helped me draft a letter

2063
01:27:09,440 --> 01:27:11,520
that some of what is in this letter is

2064
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:13,760
no longer relevant it seemed. Yeah.

2065
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:15,520
>> So before sending something,

2066
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:18,800
>> what I think though I think and again

2067
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,120
trustee, but I think if you have a

2068
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:23,120
complaint, whether it's been fixed now

2069
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:25,280
or not, I think you need the letter to

2070
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:27,600
in case something else happens. If it

2071
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:29,840
keeps happening, they don't mow the lawn

2072
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:32,239
for another eight months, but you didn't

2073
01:27:32,239 --> 01:27:34,560
send a letter that says, "Hey, we got a

2074
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:35,760
complaint that you didn't mow your

2075
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:36,800
lawn."

2076
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:38,080
>> It never happened.

2077
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:38,560
>> Okay.

2078
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:40,400
>> Right. I I I think you

2079
01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:45,199
>> So then the question is would would this body rather have a letter be

2080
01:27:45,199 --> 01:27:47,600
sent or would you would this body rather

2081
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,480
have somebody volunteer to go look at it

2082
01:27:50,480 --> 01:27:52,960
and talk to some to to somebody.

2083
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:53,360
>> I would

2084
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:54,639
>> I don't really care.

2085
01:27:54,639 --> 01:27:56,560
>> I would rather start with talking to

2086
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:57,040
somebody

2087
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,440
>> then that's great.

2088
01:27:59,440 --> 01:28:00,159
>> Sounds too great.

2089
01:28:00,159 --> 01:28:02,960
>> Good. So you got you two can take that

2090
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:06,320
up. But the other issue is that there

2091
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:08,880
should be a process that we have to do

2092
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:12,000
with to deal with this. And now that the

2093
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:13,600
same person has made the second

2094
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:15,920
complaint about the property behind

2095
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:18,800
that, what I can do is look up because I

2096
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:21,760
know it's in here somewhere, I found it

2097
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:25,760
the court order from quite some time ago

2098
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:28,000
with what that court order said should

2099
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:29,600
happen with that property.

2100
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:31,520
>> I I could talk to that guy, too.

2101
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:35,270
>> Okay.

2102
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:36,880
I haven't seen my home.

2103
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:38,560
>> I know. That's what I'm wondering.

2104
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:40,239
>> All right. Well, thank you. Let's

2105
01:28:40,239 --> 01:28:42,400
resolve that. Thank you both for your

2106
01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:47,280
volunteering to take care of that. Um,

2107
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:49,600
last thing is the draft policy for

2108
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:52,480
complying with open meeting law. This is

2109
01:28:52,480 --> 01:28:54,639
another thing that we had a group of

2110
01:28:54,639 --> 01:28:58,560
people work on. Um, and I know it's

2111
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:00,960
late, but I'm going to just take a few

2112
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:04,239
minutes to go through a couple of the

2113
01:29:04,239 --> 01:29:08,560
important pieces in in here. We found

2114
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:11,440
that after doing some open meeting law

2115
01:29:11,440 --> 01:29:16,960
training um that really none of our

2116
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:20,320
adi nonadvisory boards were completely

2117
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:22,880
doing everything the open meeting law

2118
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:25,199
required.

2119
01:29:25,199 --> 01:29:28,800
um nothing was you know like

2120
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,440
well it just wasn't as complete as it

2121
01:29:31,440 --> 01:29:34,639
could be. So in the interest of making

2122
01:29:34,639 --> 01:29:38,400
sure that our citizens and residents are

2123
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:41,440
as fully informed as they can be about

2124
01:29:41,440 --> 01:29:44,400
what happens in these meetings and what

2125
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:46,639
our response roles and responsibilities

2126
01:29:46,639 --> 01:29:50,639
are. Um we are going to draft this

2127
01:29:50,639 --> 01:29:53,280
policy. It's one thing to go to a

2128
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:56,000
training once once a year and then it's

2129
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:57,679
another thing to make sure that every

2130
01:29:57,679 --> 01:30:01,520
member of uh a committee um or a

2131
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:03,520
commission is aware of what they should

2132
01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:06,400
do and then okay who is going to do what

2133
01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:08,960
much like we just talked about. It's our

2134
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:11,760
responsibility to take care of an issue

2135
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,960
but who is going to do it.

2136
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:17,040
Just briefly,

2137
01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:19,199
basic requirements

2138
01:30:19,199 --> 01:30:21,440
are to provide advanced notice of a

2139
01:30:21,440 --> 01:30:23,840
meeting. We do this, it should be done

2140
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:26,960
at least 30 days prior to an a meeting.

2141
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:29,040
Notice of a meeting is not the same as

2142
01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:31,440
agenda. Notice of a meeting is just,

2143
01:30:31,440 --> 01:30:33,040
hey, we're going to have this meeting

2144
01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:35,600
and here's when it's going to be because

2145
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:37,120
our

2146
01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:40,719
annual report has a page that lists when

2147
01:30:40,719 --> 01:30:43,040
the meet all when all the meetings are

2148
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:46,239
that takes care of this uh of of this

2149
01:30:46,239 --> 01:30:49,840
notice requirement.

2150
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:53,520
Um we create and posted an agenda for

2151
01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:56,159
all regular and special meetings.

2152
01:30:56,159 --> 01:30:57,760
Agendas

2153
01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:02,080
at a minimum are posted 48 hours uh in

2154
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:04,560
advance of a regular meeting and 24

2155
01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:07,120
hours in in advance of a special

2156
01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:10,639
meeting. Our policy again in the

2157
01:31:10,639 --> 01:31:12,239
interest of public awareness and

2158
01:31:12,239 --> 01:31:15,040
participation we are going to endeavor

2159
01:31:15,040 --> 01:31:18,960
to post our agendas not less than 3 days

2160
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:22,639
or 72 hours before a meeting. Um because

2161
01:31:22,639 --> 01:31:24,320
very often if you're going to do

2162
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:27,120
something two days from now, if you're

2163
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:28,719
not in the post office, you're not

2164
01:31:28,719 --> 01:31:30,400
looking at a website, if you're not at

2165
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:32,400
the library, you might not know there

2166
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:34,480
was one. So we're going to try to be a

2167
01:31:34,480 --> 01:31:36,639
little bit better than than the minimum

2168
01:31:36,639 --> 01:31:39,520
requirement. Our policy also says where

2169
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:43,760
everything will be uh posted. Agendas um

2170
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:46,320
are supposed to include specific details

2171
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:49,199
about what is going to be discussed. We

2172
01:31:49,199 --> 01:31:51,040
have endeavored to do that for a while

2173
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:54,159
with our board of trustees and with our

2174
01:31:54,159 --> 01:31:56,800
um with our our planning commissions and

2175
01:31:56,800 --> 01:32:01,120
certainly the DRB has to uh do that. So

2176
01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:04,480
um but we can always do a little bit

2177
01:32:04,480 --> 01:32:11,270
better in in doing these things. Um

2178
01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:14,000
all business is conducted in an open

2179
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:17,360
meeting. We are no longer required to

2180
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:19,840
have a hybrid meeting which is in person

2181
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:22,400
and electronically

2182
01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:25,760
but if someone requested electronic

2183
01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:28,320
access you would have to provide it. So

2184
01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:32,080
why not just do it in addition

2185
01:32:32,080 --> 01:32:35,120
it is required I didn't know this that

2186
01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:38,560
you post the recording of your meeting

2187
01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:40,880
and you have to record a meeting.

2188
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:43,280
Whether you tell people about it is one

2189
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:45,920
thing, but you have to record a meeting.

2190
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:48,080
So, as long as we're recording it and we

2191
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:50,560
have to post it on the website, why not

2192
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:52,480
just put it on the agenda and invite

2193
01:32:52,480 --> 01:32:54,960
everyone to do so? So, that's what we're

2194
01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:57,760
doing. Um,

2195
01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:00,480
I'm going to go allowing public comment

2196
01:33:00,480 --> 01:33:03,440
at meetings. We always do this and we

2197
01:33:03,440 --> 01:33:07,199
have always at the first meeting of each

2198
01:33:07,199 --> 01:33:10,960
new year um we adopt our rules of

2199
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:14,159
procedure and that specifies a lot about

2200
01:33:14,159 --> 01:33:16,800
how how the meetings are conducted

2201
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:19,199
minutes taking and posting minutes. Lori

2202
01:33:19,199 --> 01:33:21,360
is a past master at doing this has done

2203
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:25,040
this for many many years and she knows

2204
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:29,520
all of the the uh requirements here. Um

2205
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:32,880
it is required that we post on our

2206
01:33:32,880 --> 01:33:35,679
website within five calendar days of a

2207
01:33:35,679 --> 01:33:39,600
meeting um a at a a draft of the

2208
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:42,800
minutes. So we do that um we will do

2209
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:45,600
that and along with that we will now be

2210
01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:48,159
we have been the last two months we now

2211
01:33:48,159 --> 01:33:53,040
post the um link to this this zoom

2212
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:56,320
session. Uh

2213
01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:57,920
and

2214
01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:02,719
finally, um the public has a right to

2215
01:34:02,719 --> 01:34:05,199
complain or

2216
01:34:05,199 --> 01:34:08,639
um have or send in a notice of

2217
01:34:08,639 --> 01:34:12,560
violation. We now have on our website as

2218
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:14,960
required by statute a copy of the

2219
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:18,000
statute that tells the public what their

2220
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:20,400
rights are. It's in terms of open

2221
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:24,480
meeting law. We also have a form right

2222
01:34:24,480 --> 01:34:27,199
next to that where if someone feels that

2223
01:34:27,199 --> 01:34:29,920
they were harmed by a violation of an

2224
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:31,920
open meeting law, they would fill that

2225
01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:33,360
out. They would send that to the

2226
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:36,800
village. It goes to the PO box and then

2227
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:39,360
Lori as receiver of that would bring

2228
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:41,280
that and then there's a whole set of

2229
01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:43,840
regulations that a board would have to

2230
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:47,040
do legally once a a notice of violation

2231
01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:50,320
is received. That violation cannot just

2232
01:34:50,320 --> 01:34:52,719
be something general. It can't just be,

2233
01:34:52,719 --> 01:34:57,120
oh, I wanted to go look at your uh

2234
01:34:57,120 --> 01:34:59,600
minutes and they were they were not out

2235
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:02,000
there, you know, 24 hours ahead of time

2236
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:04,639
or 48 hours ahead of time that there has

2237
01:35:04,639 --> 01:35:07,440
to be a specific harm. You you didn't

2238
01:35:07,440 --> 01:35:09,679
post it. You discussed something that

2239
01:35:09,679 --> 01:35:11,920
was not on the agenda and I was harmed

2240
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:16,320
because so that's that. Anyway, I am

2241
01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:19,280
asking since you have all seen this, I

2242
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:24,790
would like to have us

2243
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:27,440
agree that this is

2244
01:35:27,440 --> 01:35:30,560
the village policy, not just for us, but

2245
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:33,120
for everyone who comes behind us and

2246
01:35:33,120 --> 01:35:36,560
takes over after after we're not here.

2247
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:38,320
Leave a little handbook to say here's

2248
01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:42,310
how we do things.

2249
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:43,679
» We need a resolution.

2250
01:35:43,679 --> 01:35:47,440
>> Yes. Unless anybody has any questions

2251
01:35:47,440 --> 01:35:49,040
or comments or thoughts, but

2252
01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:51,679
>> I'll I'll make a resolution and then we

2253
01:35:51,679 --> 01:35:54,560
can have a second and we can discuss

2254
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:56,080
further if we need to.

2255
01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:56,800
>> Thank you.

2256
01:35:56,800 --> 01:36:00,800
>> I'll make a resolution that we adopt the

2257
01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:02,639
draft.

2258
01:36:02,639 --> 01:36:04,880
How do you title it? Policy and

2259
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:07,520
procedure for compliance

2260
01:36:07,520 --> 01:36:09,920
law requirements of the village of

2261
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:12,950
North.

2262
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:14,560
Second.

2263
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:16,719
>> All in favor?

2264
01:36:16,719 --> 01:36:17,520
>> I.

2265
01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:19,520
will have everybody sign this last

2266
01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:21,679
page and then I will get this posted and

2267
01:36:21,679 --> 01:36:23,360
out to everyone.

2268
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:25,120
>> All right. Next. We'll do that.

2269
01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:26,000
>> Really nice.

2270
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:28,480
>> Thank you. Now, and thank you for there

2271
01:36:28,480 --> 01:36:31,040
was a people from all commission all of

2272
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:33,440
the committees that helped me and do

2273
01:36:33,440 --> 01:36:38,800
this. Um, okay. Next thing. Wait,

2274
01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:41,440
I didn't ask you guys. You didn't just

2275
01:36:41,440 --> 01:36:45,119
come here to sit here and listen to us.

2276
01:36:45,119 --> 01:36:47,920
>> We're learning a lot. That's a good

2277
01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:50,480
>> Yes. But this is new business. I should

2278
01:36:50,480 --> 01:36:53,199
have invited you first. Please. I'm so

2279
01:36:53,199 --> 01:36:55,119
sorry.

2280
01:36:55,119 --> 01:36:56,080
>> Floor is yours.

2281
01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:58,320
>> On behalf of Park House, I'm David Hart.

2282
01:36:58,320 --> 01:37:00,880
This is Al. I'm the new board president.

2283
01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:03,760
So, um, we just wanted to come and give

2284
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:06,480
you an update uh where we are. We're a

2285
01:37:06,480 --> 01:37:08,159
little bit past halfway through the

2286
01:37:08,159 --> 01:37:11,280
season and this is uh our 168th

2287
01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:14,159
anniversary free admission this year. We

2288
01:37:14,159 --> 01:37:15,760
have doubled the number of people who

2289
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:17,199
have gone through the house. I can't

2290
01:37:17,199 --> 01:37:18,560
speak to the number of people who've

2291
01:37:18,560 --> 01:37:20,080
come outside the house. We will have

2292
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:22,880
those numbers for you at the end of our

2293
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:25,840
season. So all very very good things. Um

2294
01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:28,400
just a couple things to mention that uh

2295
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:31,440
this uh on the 13th is the community

2296
01:37:31,440 --> 01:37:33,360
block party which will be held on

2297
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:35,760
ground. So we encourage everybody to

2298
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:38,719
come and do that. Alan, is there more

2299
01:37:38,719 --> 01:37:40,400
that you would like to say?

2300
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:42,480
>> Uh, anecdotally, one of the things

2301
01:37:42,480 --> 01:37:46,639
that's changed in our that people have

2302
01:37:46,639 --> 01:37:49,679
noticed is that uh the number of young

2303
01:37:49,679 --> 01:37:54,000
people coming through the house is way up.

2304
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:56,000
>> Number of children

2305
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:59,760
with families with young children is way

2306
01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:01,679
bigger as a number which is really

2307
01:38:01,679 --> 01:38:04,159
great. something we were looking to try

2308
01:38:04,159 --> 01:38:07,199
to make happen. And this is part of why

2309
01:38:07,199 --> 01:38:09,840
we went to uh a non- admission policy

2310
01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:12,560
this year. Um

2311
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:14,880
I'll put on another hat and say uh

2312
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:17,280
living room theater had a had celebrated

2313
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:19,280
our 15th season. Thank you all those of

2314
01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:21,040
you who were able to make it. Uh it was

2315
01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:23,119
a very successful season for us. We run

2316
01:38:23,119 --> 01:38:24,960
three weeks instead of two. Was our

2317
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,760
largest number of audience members over

2318
01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:30,000
600 people came to see our productions.

2319
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:32,960
We uh

2320
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:35,119
were rained out of two of our 15 nights,

2321
01:38:35,119 --> 01:38:37,040
but we're able to move all of those

2322
01:38:37,040 --> 01:38:38,880
audience members to other nights. So, we

2323
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:44,400
didn't lose any audience. 40% of our um

2324
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:47,360
uh swiped credit card transactions this

2325
01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:52,000
year were first time customers.

2326
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:52,880
>> Nice.

2327
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:54,880
>> Great. which I I I don't quite

2328
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:57,600
understand why that is or how that is,

2329
01:38:57,600 --> 01:39:00,960
but a huge new audience. Um that's been

2330
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:05,199
true. It's been growing every year. Our our audience is diversifying and

2331
01:39:05,199 --> 01:39:07,600
widening and broadening uh in major

2332
01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:09,679
ways. And so that's all really exciting.

2333
01:39:09,679 --> 01:39:13,440
Um we're proud that we can bring people

2334
01:39:13,440 --> 01:39:16,239
into Northbank to to to see what we're

2335
01:39:16,239 --> 01:39:18,880
doing, but to bring them to the to the

2336
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:22,719
grounds and to the village. So I'll just

2337
01:39:22,719 --> 01:39:24,480
to say thank you all. You know, you

2338
01:39:24,480 --> 01:39:26,880
support us and your dollars are going to

2339
01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:30,480
do good things. We've done 87 events

2340
01:39:30,480 --> 01:39:33,280
this year. Last year at the end of the

2341
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:35,920
season, we had done 71. So, we are way

2342
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:38,239
ahead of where we are. Um the house

2343
01:39:38,239 --> 01:39:40,719
closes on October 19th, so we still have

2344
01:39:40,719 --> 01:39:43,600
about a month to go and we will do

2345
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:46,000
another tree lighting on December 7th.

2346
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:48,880
We hope everybody participate in and we

2347
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:50,159
look forward to being at future

2348
01:39:50,159 --> 01:39:52,480
meetings. Please come to our future

2349
01:39:52,480 --> 01:39:54,239
meetings and we'll let you know when our

2350
01:39:54,239 --> 01:39:55,600
budget meetings are happening.

2351
01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:57,440
>> Can I just say I've only been to a

2352

more pieces of business if you want.

01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:54,000
Update.

>> Thank you. Take care.

2404
01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:02,159
>> Quick update on two of our grants. The

2405
01:42:02,159 --> 01:42:04,480
municipal energy resilience project

2406
01:42:04,480 --> 01:42:08,960
Merc. Many thanks to Rey for helping um

2407
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:12,320
uh Nicole Henry who's doing the thermal

2408
01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:15,040
envelope work here at the depot getting

2409
01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:16,880
her in and out of the building.

2410
01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:17,840
>> David

2411
01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:20,159
>> and David for helping with all of that.

2412
01:42:20,159 --> 01:42:24,080
Actually, David's done even more. Um so

2413
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:27,600
there has been some movement on this. Um

2414
01:42:27,600 --> 01:42:30,639
Neil Kenyon has worked on the bathrooms.

2415
01:42:30,639 --> 01:42:33,920
Um the downstairs bathroom is part of

2416
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:36,880
the grant. The upstairs bathroom is not.

2417
01:42:36,880 --> 01:42:39,360
And I had a note to ask Norm about

2418
01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:43,199
whether we can use the toilet upstairs.

2419
01:42:43,199 --> 01:42:45,679
Um whether that's hooked up and I he's

2420
01:42:45,679 --> 01:42:47,679
not here to ask. So I will follow up

2421
01:42:47,679 --> 01:42:50,639
with him tomorrow on that one. But

2422
01:42:50,639 --> 01:42:53,600
that's done. the depot weatherization

2423
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:58,000
here, the thermal envelope work is done.

2424
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:00,719
Tomorrow is the final blower door test

2425
01:43:00,719 --> 01:43:03,040
to see how that's going. I I'll make

2426
01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:06,400
sure that I'm here for that. Um, thank

2427
01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:09,520
you to David for

2428
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:11,280
getting around and getting all the

2429
01:43:11,280 --> 01:43:15,199
electrical quotes. We were not sure and

2430
01:43:15,199 --> 01:43:18,320
it's not in necessarily in the grant,

2431
01:43:18,320 --> 01:43:20,400
but there is electrical work that needs

2432
01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:22,400
to be done. We thought it was really

2433
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:24,400
mostly this building that needed the

2434
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:25,360
upgrade,

2435
01:43:25,360 --> 01:43:28,480
>> but there's a huge in uh improvement

2436
01:43:28,480 --> 01:43:30,719
that's needed at the firehouse and also

2437
01:43:30,719 --> 01:43:31,760
at the garage,

2438
01:43:31,760 --> 01:43:32,159
>> right?

2439
01:43:32,159 --> 01:43:35,600
>> Um so there's there's a significant

2440
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:38,960
expense. Uh it's a little over $14,000

2441
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:42,400
to get this done. Some of this we can

2442
01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:45,280
cover with the contingencies in the

2443
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:48,560
grant itself. Some of this will will be

2444
01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:53,760
coming out of our our reserve funds when all is said and done. The other

2445
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:56,639
good news is that

2446
01:43:56,639 --> 01:44:00,560
um Green Mountain Power is going to

2447
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:02,480
provide us

2448
01:44:02,480 --> 01:44:05,119
some $34,000

2449
01:44:05,119 --> 01:44:08,239
to help us with this project. And we

2450
01:44:08,239 --> 01:44:13,679
need it because the installation of the

2451
01:44:13,679 --> 01:44:18,000
um HVAC systems are significantly higher

2452
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:22,239
than was estimated when the people who put

2453
01:44:22,239 --> 01:44:24,560
the who came and did the initial

2454
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:27,119
assessment estimated what we would need

2455
01:44:27,119 --> 01:44:31,920
here. Um I don't have a complete

2456
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:35,360
budget versus actual for this project

2457
01:44:35,360 --> 01:44:38,639
yet. Bob Maderos has been helping with a

2458
01:44:38,639 --> 01:44:41,600
lot of that work. Um he is out of town

2459
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:45,679
and will be back soon. But this project

2460
01:44:45,679 --> 01:44:50,719
is coming along and needs to get done

2461
01:44:50,719 --> 01:44:53,840
no later than well hopefully by mid

2462
01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:55,679
December. We were hoping to have it done

2463
01:44:55,679 --> 01:44:58,080
by the end of October but I don't know

2464
01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:00,960
that that's possible. So

2465
01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:05,520
>> just a interruption to the on the do the

2466
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:09,280
h do the panel boxes and have to go in

2467
01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:14,080
before the u the uh

2468
01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:16,000
actual equipment that's going to do

2469
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:17,679
heating and cooling.

2470
01:45:17,679 --> 01:45:21,679
>> Yeah. Yes. I mean it it

2471
01:45:21,679 --> 01:45:23,679
>> So we have to get that started.

2472
01:45:23,679 --> 01:45:27,679
>> Right. So this Friday, um there's g um

2473
01:45:27,679 --> 01:45:29,840
Dan Cutler, the electrician, is going

2474
01:45:29,840 --> 01:45:32,000
around the electrical inspector.

2475
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:32,480
>> Okay.

2476
01:45:32,480 --> 01:45:34,000
>> To do the work that needs to be.

2477
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:35,920
>> So that that's there's a process.

2478
01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:39,040
>> It is in the way. I I've also reached

2479
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:42,880
out to uh one of Dan requested that

2480
01:45:42,880 --> 01:45:46,159
could we clean up the clean out the back

2481
01:45:46,159 --> 01:45:48,159
of the firehouse

2482
01:45:48,159 --> 01:45:50,400
brush and everything.

2483
01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:53,520
Yeah. So I did reach out to Ed and Ed

2484
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:55,360
said they would take care of it and get

2485
01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:57,600
it all opened up back there.

2486
01:45:57,600 --> 01:45:58,159
>> Okay.

2487
01:45:58,159 --> 01:46:03,760
>> Um so that's moving forward. I did email

2488
01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:05,760
I was hoping to get an answer tonight.

2489
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:09,360
Um Danny to see okay once you get your

2490
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:12,400
inspection and permits in place when are

2491
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:16,639
you going to start doing the work? And I told them we have a a strict

2492
01:46:16,639 --> 01:46:18,239
deadline about when this needs to be

2493
01:46:18,239 --> 01:46:18,639
done.

2494
01:46:18,639 --> 01:46:21,360
>> Yeah. Can So as soon as we know when his

2495
01:46:21,360 --> 01:46:24,960
schedule is, couldn't we schedule

2496
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:25,920
>> Bennington cooling?

2497
01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:26,880
>> Yeah, Bennington cool.

2498
01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:29,520
>> He is coordinating with them. Oh, he is.

2499
01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:31,280
He reached out to them to find out

2500
01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:33,199
exactly what he needs to do for them.

2501
01:46:33,199 --> 01:46:34,080
>> That's excellent.

2502
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:36,239
>> Yeah. And all that. So they're working

2503
01:46:36,239 --> 01:46:37,600
together on that.

2504
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:38,560
>> Wow. Good.

2505
01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:40,639
>> So once I know from Dan what his

2506
01:46:40,639 --> 01:46:42,719
schedule is, I will still follow

2507
01:46:42,719 --> 01:46:43,360
>> Yeah.

2508
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:46,159

01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:50,320
right, that's good.

2511
01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:53,040
>> Is that circuit breaker box at the

2512
01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:55,520
firehouse completely full? Is that one

2513
01:46:55,520 --> 01:46:56,480
of the problems?

2514
01:46:56,480 --> 01:46:58,800
>> Is it? No. The biggest problem there is

2515
01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:00,639
that, believe it or not, that building

2516
01:47:00,639 --> 01:47:03,040
only has 100 amp service in it.

2517
01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:04,480
>> Too small.

2518
01:47:04,480 --> 01:47:08,000
>> Yes, it's a small um you know, put you

2519
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:11,280
put that in a house these days. Um and

2520
01:47:11,280 --> 01:47:13,440
uh so

2521
01:47:13,440 --> 01:47:15,360
but there's two problems. They also have

2522
01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:18,400
a a whole series of electrical work that

2523
01:47:18,400 --> 01:47:20,800
was done for a generator, backup

2524
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:23,360
generator, which I believe they do not

2525
01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:26,159
have anymore, but the equipment's there.

2526
01:47:26,159 --> 01:47:28,480
And Ed seems to think that in the future

2527
01:47:28,480 --> 01:47:30,400
they do want to get another generator.

2528
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:31,119
So,

2529
01:47:31,119 --> 01:47:33,119
>> so we got to kind of work around that.

2530
01:47:33,119 --> 01:47:35,679
So, what he's going to do is put a

2531
01:47:35,679 --> 01:47:37,520
upgrade the service, but then put a sub

2532
01:47:37,520 --> 01:47:39,760
panel on the outside of the building

2533
01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:43,600
that will take care of the um HVAC

2534
01:47:43,600 --> 01:47:45,199
equipment.

2535
01:47:45,199 --> 01:47:49,119
>> The only and all that is that it's not

2536
01:47:49,119 --> 01:47:50,639
should they go ahead and get the

2537
01:47:50,639 --> 01:47:53,040
generator in the future?

2538
01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:54,639
Um

2539
01:47:54,639 --> 01:47:57,600
is this new panel on the outside is

2540
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:01,119
going to be um it's not going to be part

2541
01:48:01,119 --> 01:48:04,239
of the building. Um so the generator

2542
01:48:04,239 --> 01:48:07,119
kicks on, it won't

2543
01:48:07,119 --> 01:48:08,880
pick up the building.

2544
01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:11,360
>> Well, no, it won't it won't run the heat

2545
01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:12,719
pumps,

2546
01:48:12,719 --> 01:48:14,480
>> but the building still has heat. When

2547
01:48:14,480 --> 01:48:15,920
you look at the size, the frame is

2548
01:48:15,920 --> 01:48:16,800
small.

2549
01:48:16,800 --> 01:48:19,199
>> It won't run the heat pump. It doesn't

2550
01:48:19,199 --> 01:48:20,880
feed into the pen one side.

2551
01:48:20,880 --> 01:48:22,480
>> It doesn't feed into the pen. So, what

2552
01:48:22,480 --> 01:48:24,480
he's trying to do is because if you

2553
01:48:24,480 --> 01:48:26,239
could

2554
01:48:26,239 --> 01:48:28,480
there's a a complicated setup in there

2555
01:48:28,480 --> 01:48:30,719
because of disconnects and all this kind

2556
01:48:30,719 --> 01:48:32,320
of stuff with the generator.

2557
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:34,080
>> So, he said the easiest thing for them

2558
01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:36,239
to do was just to be put it near the

2559
01:48:36,239 --> 01:48:38,000
panel, near the meter on the outside of

2560
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:40,639
the building, a sub panel. Mhm.

2561
01:48:40,639 --> 01:48:43,520
>> And a lot of these heat pumps anyway get

2562
01:48:43,520 --> 01:48:45,920
fed from you know on the outside of a

2563
01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:50,000
building all electricity. Um so um you

2564
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:51,920
said it be that would be the most

2565
01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:54,800
efficient way of doing it and that

2566
01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:59,119
however means that when the generate kan

2567
01:48:59,119 --> 01:49:01,760
it's not going to impact it's not going

2568
01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:04,239
to help the heat pumps.

2569
01:49:04,239 --> 01:49:04,960
>> Okay.

2570
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:08,159
>> So it's we can walk through it again if

2571
01:49:08,159 --> 01:49:09,520
you'd like. Um but

2572
01:49:09,520 --> 01:49:11,199
>> yeah,

2573
01:49:11,199 --> 01:49:14,560
I'm not gonna ask for the furnace would

2574
01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:17,280
be hooked into the uh generator.

2575
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:20,560
>> It is everything else in the building is will be

2576
01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:24,000
>> so this the the this the secondary

2577
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:25,760
>> heat would work the backup

2578
01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:28,480
>> if if you needed it in that situation.

2579
01:49:28,480 --> 01:49:29,920
>> Yes. Yes.

2580
01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:33,360
>> Yes. Okay, you're right. Yes. Yes.

2581
01:49:33,360 --> 01:49:34,239
>> Okay.

2582
01:49:34,239 --> 01:49:36,480
>> Well, thank you, David. I I really

2583
01:49:36,480 --> 01:49:39,199
appreciate your contribution to this.

2584
01:49:39,199 --> 01:49:41,280
>> It couldn't I know this is yet another

2585
01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:43,760
grant that could not have worked without

2586
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:46,560
a huge number of people,

2587
01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:48,639
>> you know, just a variety of people all

2588
01:49:48,639 --> 01:49:51,760
coming together and making this work. Um

2589
01:49:51,760 --> 01:49:54,320
the last one talking about variety of

2590
01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:56,320
people coming together and making things

2591
01:49:56,320 --> 01:49:59,679
work. Another thank you to David

2592
01:49:59,679 --> 01:50:02,960
um our AARP community challenge grant

2593
01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:08,159
that the village got um which was

2594
01:50:08,159 --> 01:50:11,520
amazing because there are

2595
01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:14,480
like thousands and thousands tens of

2596
01:50:14,480 --> 01:50:17,280
thousands of applications and we were

2597
01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:19,679
one of them that was selected. So that's

2598
01:50:19,679 --> 01:50:22,800
pretty cool. Um again Jenny Rosiki

2599
01:50:22,800 --> 01:50:24,800
helped me write this grant because I

2600
01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:28,080
didn't know how to do it. So

2601
01:50:28,080 --> 01:50:30,320
there we go. But David has helped

2602
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:31,280
>> makes a village.

2603
01:50:31,280 --> 01:50:35,440
>> Yes, it does. Um David uh

2604
01:50:35,440 --> 01:50:37,600
the reason why we're going to do the we

2605
01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:40,480
have the DRB hearing is that where this

2606
01:50:40,480 --> 01:50:43,199
sta this bus station is going to go it's

2607
01:50:43,199 --> 01:50:45,600
going to be a covered shelter. Um and it

2608
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:48,880
is going to go into the EMG mark when

2609
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:51,520
you come in directly across from the

2610
01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:52,880
left bank.

2611
01:50:52,880 --> 01:50:55,840
>> Yeah. Um there's some little

2612
01:50:55,840 --> 01:50:59,600
shrubs about you know two feet high and

2613
01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:01,920
the property line is about roughly

2614
01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:04,239
speaking about five feet back from those

2615
01:51:04,239 --> 01:51:06,639
things. So we're going to get ask for a

2616
01:51:06,639 --> 01:51:09,440
variance to go to the property line so

2617
01:51:09,440 --> 01:51:13,600
that this shelter is not into

2618
01:51:13,600 --> 01:51:17,280
the parking area and the bus can just

2619
01:51:17,280 --> 01:51:19,119
pull up and come in there. So thank you

2620
01:51:19,119 --> 01:51:21,199
to David for getting all of that work

2621
01:51:21,199 --> 01:51:24,880
done. Norm is going to actually be doing

2622
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:29,199
the excavating and pouring the concrete.

2623
01:51:29,199 --> 01:51:32,880
And um the folks at uh Green Mountain

2624
01:51:32,880 --> 01:51:36,080
Express have a shelter waiting for us.

2625
01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:38,960
They are have been helpful in having us

2626
01:51:38,960 --> 01:51:40,960
selected this site. They've approved

2627
01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:46,400
this. Um their bus driver likes where it's going to go.

2628
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:50,080
>> Yes. Uh and so this is another deadline

2629
01:51:50,080 --> 01:51:52,960
has to be done by the end of end of uh

2630
01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:55,360
October and Norm confirmed when he was

2631
01:51:55,360 --> 01:51:58,159
here that we're we're on track for that.

2632
01:51:58,159 --> 01:52:00,880
So um good things that when people come

2633
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:03,760
together there's money out there's that

2634
01:52:03,760 --> 01:52:06,000
people can help support projects that

2635
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:09,360
need to be done and it just takes a

2636
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:10,960
number of people to get out there and

2637
01:52:10,960 --> 01:52:13,199
look and get involved and look what we

2638
01:52:13,199 --> 01:52:16,400
can do. help the village on things that

2639
01:52:16,400 --> 01:52:19,280
we could not have done on our own. So,

2640
01:52:19,280 --> 01:52:21,679
thank you all and everybody out there

2641
01:52:21,679 --> 01:52:24,480
who is also

2642
01:52:24,480 --> 01:52:28,229
that's all I have.

2643
01:52:28,239 --> 01:52:31,760
» Motion to adjourn.

2644
01:52:31,760 --> 01:52:34,000
>> Terra's got a thumb up on that one and

2645
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:36,000
I'm in the red on my battery. So, at

2646
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:38,719
8:51, motion to adjurnn with there was a

2647
01:52:38,719 --> 01:52:41,440
second I'm sure. All in favor? Hi.

2648

>> Hi.

2649
01:52:41,840 --> 01:52:45,679
>> Uh, one quick thing quick.

2650
01:52:45,679 --> 01:52:47,920
>> I It's just an announcement. Next

2651
01:52:47,920 --> 01:52:52,320
meeting, the October meeting, I am away

2652
01:52:52,320 --> 01:52:55,679
for a few weeks. I am not going to be

2653
01:52:55,679 --> 01:52:58,080
here to get that agenda out on time. I'm

2654
01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:00,159
not going to be here until the day

2655
01:53:00,159 --> 01:53:02,080
before that meeting. So,

2656
01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:05,199
>> what day is the October meeting?

2657
01:53:05,199 --> 01:53:06,960
>> It's late.

2658
01:53:06,960 --> 01:53:08,159
>> It's like the

01:53:08,159 --> 01:53:11,679
>> It's 13th or 14th.

2660
01:53:11,679 --> 01:53:15,520
It's October 13th, but from what we just

2661
01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:18,719
said, we want that agenda to go out no

2662
01:53:18,719 --> 01:53:22,960
later than October 7th or 8th. I am not

2663
01:53:22,960 --> 01:53:25,599
here. So, somebody's going to have to

2664
01:53:25,599 --> 01:53:28,800
write that agenda, get everything out.

2665
01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:32,480
Um Um Terry, you can set up a Zoom link,

2666
01:53:32,480 --> 01:53:34,800
right? Or I can actually set up the Zoom

2667
01:53:34,800 --> 01:53:36,960
link and it can sit there for a month. I

2668
01:53:36,960 --> 01:53:39,599
was gonna say I have I have the DRB on a

2669
01:53:39,599 --> 01:53:41,520
repeating Zoom link so it's the same.

2670
01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:43,679
>> Okay. No, I'll go I'll go ahead and do

2671
01:53:43,679 --> 01:53:46,159
