1
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,280
sent the changes. We were all going to

2
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,960
talk about that. I sent those to Terry

3
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,759
and a few other folks to get their their

4
00:01:55,759 --> 00:01:57,439
feedback.

5
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:00,960
And um I'm just curious if you guys have

6
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,479
feedback as well or would you like to

7
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:06,799
hear Terry's first and we can do his

8
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:09,599
event at the same time? What I hear to

9
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:10,319
hear a user.

10
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:11,599
>> Yeah, I would love to hear from people

11
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:12,640
that are going to use it.

12
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:13,520
>> Yeah. Go ahead, Terry.

13
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,360
>> I mean, the changes that you proposed to

14
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,599
me, you know, seems great. I mean, it's

15
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:19,120
more efficient for you guys to not have

16
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,720
to deal with the same old thing and take

17
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,200
time and as an event planner, too, to

18
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,959
not have to go through that, you know,

19
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:27,760
form every year. Um, or an abbreviated

20
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,599
version of it would be great. Yeah,

21
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:31,280
>> nothing really changes in our event

22
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,560
premier year unless um there's a traffic

23
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,959
change which we could alert one to cuz

24
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:39,760
one year the uh the bridges out on

25
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,760
school street changed our course

26
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:42,160
>> right

27
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,440
>> you know but that other than that I

28
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,720
don't think I've changed anything over

29
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,720
the years um co it changed too obviously

30
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,280
>> right

31
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,680
>> um but uh from year to year it's just

32
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,400
pretty much the same thing so it's a lot

33
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,640
easier it's sort of an assumed thing

34
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:59,120
that typically lesser

35
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,959
There should be a clause there that says

36
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:03,599
if there's any major change,

37
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:05,120
>> you know, you need to be alerted.

38
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,200
>> Yep, I do have that in there.

39
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,200
>> Any major changes to the event would

40
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,360
require the organizer to resubmit a

41
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,280
special event permit

42
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,519
>> and seek approval from the select board.

43
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:16,959
>> Yeah, sounds good.

44
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:19,360
>> Um, I know David had a concern at the

45
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,239
last meeting about whether or not um we

46
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:24,480
would be doing a disservice to the event

47
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,920
and not putting you in front of the

48
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:27,280
select board and getting a little bit

49
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,080
more promotion or communication. So, any

50
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,760
concerns about that?

51
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,560
>> Um, yeah, I I guess you know that is a

52
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,319
valid point, but I I think that the

53
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:39,519
event

54
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:40,879
>> I'm I'm not concerned about it for my

55
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:43,440
event. I don't know if other event

56
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:43,840
>> Yeah.

57
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,879
>> planners have expressed that. Uh, we

58
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:48,720
tend to get the word out with our email

59
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,680
list, with Facebook, with um, you know,

60
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,040
word of mouth, with Next Door. Um I'm

61
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,200
not so sure that uh the select board

62
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,640
meeting is is a major form of getting

63
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,799
the word out and getting the public in

64
00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:04,159
this. You know, it was something to

65
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:05,840
consider. For sure.

66
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,599
>> Well, we can certainly put it under

67
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:09,120
announcements

68
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,360
>> and we can also put it on the website

69
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,599
too so that we're at least talking about

70
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:14,080
it.

71
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:14,799
>> Yeah. Okay.

72
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:17,359
>> Um that's one thought. Any other

73
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:20,000
questions or comments from

74
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,280
>> No, I was just looking through the

75
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:23,120
application. It is very lengthy. If

76
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,240
you're going to do it every single year

77
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,400
and you're just changing it, it's it's

78
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,560
something that I would support

79
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,160
those that are going to have events

80
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,720
yearly, which we have half a dozen or

81
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,759
more that we

82
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:39,840
um streamline the system for them

83
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:41,199
because we've got all the information at

84
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:43,120
one time unless like you said something

85
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:43,759
changes.

86
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:46,479
>> Yeah. But if uh if there's an event

87
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:49,520
coming up, it is best if you come in and

88
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,360
say, "Hey, we got this event coming up."

89
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,720
And you got to fill out the paperwork,

90
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,880
but as a free advertisement kind of

91
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,800
thing for through the uh select board, I

92
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,400
think that would be

93
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,520
>> uh an outstanding thing to do. So, um I

94
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,680
agree this is a long process. Uh I was

95
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,759
just looking through all the pages and

96
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:07,600
that and if you're doing it every single

97
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,680
year, I mean, you could just rubber

98
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,160
stamp it most of the time.

99
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,560
So I we will be discussing this a little

100
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,560
bit later too on

101
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,160
>> I'd like to just if you guys are okay

102
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,919
with it I'd like to just do it now so

103
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:22,560
that we could in fact um cuz we were

104
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,400
talking last time about entertaining

105
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,080
doing Terry's as the first one

106
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,960
>> and I can um in talking with Becky and

107
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,759
Andrea I can put it as a condition on

108
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:35,919
this particular application. So that

109
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:39,440
would take care of that need. Um, but I

110
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,520
just wanted to make and I wanted to make

111
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,759
sure that each person who has to go

112
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:46,080
through this feels okay with it. The

113
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,160
original suggestion came from Bob Henry

114
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,080
when we were talking last fall. So, um,

115
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,840
>> again, just just going through the whole

116
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:55,919
thing as far as doing that. I I think if

117
00:05:55,919 --> 00:05:59,520
you're uh going to be here annually that

118
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,680
unless something drastically changes, we

119
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,440
should have u uh simplify the forms for that kind of application. If you're

120
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,440
new, you you fill out the full

121
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,759
application. If you're not and you're

122
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:14,479
just you would just be amending the

123
00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:17,360
application with a new date and unless

124
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,720
circumstances change.

125
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,560
>> Yeah. Maybe like if it was a onepage

126
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,560
form that check box is like something's

127
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,440
changed, saying that just alerted that

128
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,880
still happening.

129
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,479
>> And again, it would be

130
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:29,919
>> a little bit of an advertising. I guess

131
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:31,600
if there's just a one page kind of

132
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,680
>> Yeah. And again,

133
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,759
uh, probably a week or so before we'd

134
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:37,440
like to have some representative come

135
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,880
from whoever it is just to speak at, you

136
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,639
know, what it is. Again, people probably

137
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:45,039
know, but just to get it out there.

138
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:45,680
>> Sure.

139
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,400
>> So,

140
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,600
>> yeah. So,

141
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,880
>> if you want to.

142
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:49,759
>> Yeah. Yeah.

143
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:50,800
>> Well, yeah.

144
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,560
>> It's not a bad idea. It doesn't take

145
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,919
much time. It's on my way home from

146
00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:54,800
work. So,

147
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,800
>> yeah. And with this as far as

148
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,120
>> I'm thinking on things like this um we

149
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,720
could do the announcements possibly at

150
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,400
the beginning of the meeting just as a

151
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,319
regular like review of what's going on

152
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:06,880
in Northfield to be a little bit more

153
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,120
community focused

154
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,199
um on our announcements. A lot of times

155
00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:13,599
it's, you know, certain deadlines and

156
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:15,360
things like that, but we do want to be

157
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,960
promoting like what the recreation,

158
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,039
especially all the recreation

159
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:22,000
>> things like this past weekend was so

160
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,759
loaded. And I guess um also Misha said

161
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:27,680
that there was so much going on that she

162
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,360
couldn't because of the rain reschedule

163
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,440
the dog show because there's so much

164
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,120
going on in Northfield.

165
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,400
>> Um so this is a policy change. we can

166
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,800
work on the um Becky had some ideas on

167
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,479
what would make sense for her too. I

168
00:07:40,479 --> 00:07:42,160
want to make sure that it works for the

169
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,880
town administrative assistant. I think

170
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,400
as long as we're okay with the concept

171
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,080
of that it would be approved for

172
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,479
multiple years. I'm just assuming three,

173
00:07:52,479 --> 00:07:55,120
but I needed your feedback on that. And

174
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,680
I'm also assuming I I wrote in here that

175
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,639
the event organizer, so in this case,

176
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:04,400
Terry and and others from Monster Dash

177
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,400
must continue to notify and coordinate

178
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,400
with the town administrative assistant,

179
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,800
police chief, EMS chief, fire chief,

180
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,160
highway superintendent and

181
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,160
superintendent, I mean sewer

182
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,360
superintendent in a timely manner. So

183
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,360
your application would basically remain

184
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,199
the same, but your um

185
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:21,759
>> communication,

186
00:08:21,759 --> 00:08:23,360
>> you would still do the communication and

187
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,199
coordination. So, yeah.

188
00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:29,280
>> Anything else?

189
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:29,840
>> No.

190
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,680
>> Okay. Are you guys okay with this

191
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,479
change? And then, um, Becky and Andrea

192
00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:36,560
can work. Mostly Becky can work on the

193
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:38,959
details. We could even put some of this.

194
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:40,800
Do you have any thoughts, Becky? I know

195
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,760
we could do an online um, you know,

196
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,839
we've streamlined another form and we

197
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:47,440
could put it online, too. That would be

198
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,279
easier. And then it just mails it into

199
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:51,360
the town administrative assistant.

200
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,680
>> Yeah. Yeah.

201
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:58,480
Okay. All right. Um

202
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,839
Bernie, do you have any thoughts? Are

203
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:02,240
you okay with the policy?

204
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,519
>> Yeah, I think it's fine.

205
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:05,040
>> Okay. Shane, are you okay with the

206
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,600
policy? Um, so are we seeing three years

207
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:08,560
then?

208
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:11,040
>> That seems to be the the time span that

209
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,560
we use for most everything.

210
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:14,800
>> Yeah, like policy review and all of

211
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,120
that. Yeah. Okay. So, we'll just fit

212
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,720
that into like our policy review

213
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,080
schedule, too.

214
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:20,720
>> There.

215
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,080
>> You only see us every 3 years.

216
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,959
Not unless you want to come. [laughter]

217
00:09:26,959 --> 00:09:29,760
>> You can come in and crash anytime. Okay.

218
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,000
So, I'll entertain a motion to approve

219
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,120
the changes to the special event permit

220
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,080
policy and we'll see what we come back

221
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,640
with for um streamlining the application

222
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,560
going forward. We'll leave that in

223
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:45,040
Becky's capable hands.

224
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,000
>> So, move.

225
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,640
>> Seconded.

226
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,839
>> All those in favor?

227
00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:49,040
>> I I

228
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,320
>> Terry's in favor too. So, um, on to the

229
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,519
actual events.

230
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:57,120
>> Okay. I'll make a motion to approve the

231
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,560
Northfield Monster-5K.

232
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:02,480
It's on

>> October 24th 24th.

238
00:10:14,079 --> 00:10:14,720
>> All right.

239
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,480
>> Thank you. That's what I get for reading

240
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,000
that instead of this. on the 24th from

um waving the fees as they're a

243
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,560
>> nonprofit

244
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:30,480
>> and this and with the condition that

245
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,480
this would be good for 3 years according

246
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,600
to the new policy.

247
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,000
>> Yep.

248
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:34,560
>> Okay.

249
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:35,440
>> Second.

250
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,640
>> All those in favor?

251
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,640
>> I

252
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:39,440
>> thank you.

253
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,440
Hope to see uh hope to see

254
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,040
you guys there dressed up maybe

255
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,920
>> certainly be there supporting. Yeah, you

256
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,680
can bike, you can walk or

257
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:52,079
>> volunteer or volunteer.

258
00:10:52,079 --> 00:10:53,040
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you need

259
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,640
volunteers, too.

260
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:55,360
>> Always. Yeah.

261
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,160
>> Oh, okay.

262
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,240
>> Yeah. Yeah. The church is getting

263
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,600
smaller and smaller. Uh so it's hard to

264
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,519
get enough volunteers sometimes. So

265
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:04,079
yeah.

266
00:11:04,079 --> 00:11:05,600
>> Okay. So we'll put that out there there

267
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,279
that see that's the kind of thing that

268
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:08,959
we would put in the announcements like

269
00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:11,279
if you're and if anything if you want to

270
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:12,959
put anything on the website, talk to

271
00:11:12,959 --> 00:11:14,720
Becky as well. We'll put a little

272
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,240
announcement and send it out.

273
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:16,800
>> Okay.

274
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,000
>> Yeah. Cool.

275
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,440
>> Great. Thank you.

276
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,360
>> Thank you.

277
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,630
Awesome.

278
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,959
» Okay. No. Trinity Solar. Um

279
00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:32,480
Tom, you want to come up?

280
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,160
We'll get going with you sooner rather

281
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:41,590
than later.

282
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,640
» Hello.

283
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,000
How's it going?

284
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,200
>> Good.

285
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,519
>> Any um first of all, anything going on

286
00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:49,360
like weatherwise? Well, we know there's

287
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,480
weather going on, but anything uh I

288
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:53,920
always think of you when when there's

289
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,760
weather. [laughter]

290
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,600
>> Nothing exciting going on.

291
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,000
>> No. And we know winter's coming. So,

292
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:00,800
yeah. Okay.

293
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,320
>> Dreading it, but we know what's coming.

294
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,320
>> Yes. Yes. All right. Where would you

295
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,480
like to start? [clears throat]

296
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,800
>> Whatever you want.

297
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,600
You can do projects that we've done or

298
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,079
>> Sure. I mean, a lot of stuff that we've

299
00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:16,000
done, we of course everybody knows

300
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,800
Highland a all that area was paid,

301
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:19,519
>> right?

302
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:21,360
>> We still got a little a few more issues

303
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,680
here or there. Uh there's a water line

304
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:25,360
issue up there that I'm hoping they get

305
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,240
fixed.

306
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,760
>> Oh, where about

307
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,200
>> right by the golf course? It's been

308
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,480
leaking for a year.

309
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,040
>> Okay.

310
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,360
>> That's the one that let go a while ago.

311
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,160
One of them.

312
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,959
>> Yeah, it's a water shut off. They I

313
00:12:36,959 --> 00:12:38,160
don't know why they haven't dug it up.

314
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,959
It's getting worse. So, I've emailed

315
00:12:40,959 --> 00:12:43,200
them and contacted them because it's

316
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,800
starting to wash out into the road. The

317
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,240
water's out in the road every morning

318
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,680
now. So, I mean, it's just going to be a

319
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,880
nice problem come winter time. Before it

320
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,720
kind of stayed off the side of the road,

321
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,480
I think it's cuz everything.

322
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,120
Um, we still got one more swale to do on

323
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,000
Burnham Road from the paving up there.

324
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,440
We're trying to get caught up this week

325
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,000
on that.

326
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,639
uh several coverts all around town that

327
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:13,360
have either collapsed or in the verge of

328
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,959
collapsing. We replaced. We still got

329
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:18,240
more to do with the weather holds out.

330
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,720
Uh the big project on War Road that we

331
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,399
were going to do, we put on hold because

332
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:24,079
we had a bunch of rain the week we were

333
00:13:24,079 --> 00:13:26,240
supposed to start.

334
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,959
And the water department still doesn't

335
00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:30,959
have

336
00:13:30,959 --> 00:13:33,600
they had a contractor. They had some of

337
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,920
the pipe. They didn't have I don't think

338
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,200
everything. So, they put it on hold till

339
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,360
next summer. The permits are good for 3

340
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,880
years.

341
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,040
>> I'm hoping the water department I think

342
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,720
they were talking about getting all the

343
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,760
stuff now so they have it, the pipe, the

344
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,680
fittings.

345
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:54,160
>> Um, but it got so wet for a while. We

346
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,920
got to control the water every day and

347
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,000
that's that could be a problem down

348
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,399
there as to where we pump it, how we

349
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:02,240
pump it.

350
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,120
So hopefully it'll be dry come June next

351
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,959
year. We'll be able to do it right off

352
00:14:06,959 --> 00:14:09,680
like after school closes. Um so we don't

353
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:11,199
have to worry about the buses cuz it's

354
00:14:11,199 --> 00:14:12,720
going to be closed down for probably 3

355
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,639
weeks, 3 to 4 weeks by the time we dig

356
00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:18,399
it all out and do the whole project. But

357
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:21,040
we are so everybody knows tomorrow we're

358
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,360
running a skim coat of black top to get

359
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,240
it through the winter cuz it is bad. Not

360
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,079
saying it's not. So we're going to patch

361
00:14:28,079 --> 00:14:30,079
it all tomorrow.

362
00:14:30,079 --> 00:14:30,560
Um,

363
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,320
>> that's good. Somebody asked me if you

364
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,079
were going to touch that road up a

365
00:14:34,079 --> 00:14:34,560
little bit.

366
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:35,920
>> Yeah, that's tomorrow's [snorts]

367
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:36,720
schedule right now.

368
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,920
>> Save me a question.

369
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,240
>> Yeah. [laughter]

370
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,560
>> Um, so that'll, like I said, will go

371
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,279
next year. Um,

372
00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:46,959
and then we're just continue to do our

373
00:14:46,959 --> 00:14:50,240
normal leaves grading.

374
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,560
Uh, we've been doing a lot of it's been

375
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,240
a hectic summer with tree work.

376
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,040
Obviously, you've heard here probably

377
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,680
several times on issues of trees with

378
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,320
the power company and

379
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,480
they're pretty much done.

380
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,160
>> Okay, that was going to be one of my

381
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:06,880
questions.

382
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,040
>> Um, they got I think a few more trees on

383
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,040
old turnpike road to take down, which

384
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,560
they were supposed to do this week. I

385
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:15,760
haven't seen them up there. And then

386
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,839
there were a few more on War Road. And I

387
00:15:17,839 --> 00:15:20,320
think the project that they were doing

388
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,760
is pretty well done.

389
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,279
>> Mhm.

390
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:24,959
the solar project have been involved

391
00:15:24,959 --> 00:15:27,760
with that. They finally did the

392
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,160
retention ponds that I asked for for the

393
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,519
hopefully solve some of the water

394
00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:34,399
problem on Pine Meadow Road one.

395
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:35,279
>> Um,

396
00:15:35,279 --> 00:15:36,800
>> which solar project?

397
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,480
>> The one on

398
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,720
>> the Well, they're A and B. The first one

399
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,199
you come here.

400
00:15:41,199 --> 00:15:43,040
>> Oh. Oh, the existing the ones that have

401
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,480
already been permanent. Okay.

402
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,500
>> Yeah. There was a lot of water coming

403
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:47,519
[snorts] out of the field that we've

404
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:48,880
been trying to address.

405
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,440
>> Okay. Um, they addressed one side last

406
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,519
fall and then they they weren't going to

407
00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:56,240
do the other side and they needed me to

408
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,120
sign off on the the curb cut and I

409
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,120
refused to sign off until we handled the

410
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,199
water cuz it overflows our drainage all

411
00:16:03,199 --> 00:16:04,000
the time.

412
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:04,480
>> Okay.

413
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,560
>> Um, so they did design the retention

414
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,120
pond and put in there. We haven't had

415
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,440
what rain we've had. It's handled it

416
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,480
great. So hopefully it's problem solved.

417
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,320
We won't know unless we get one of those

418
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,440
monster rains.

419
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,759
But they they were very good after

420
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:26,079
everything. It took a while. A lot of

421
00:16:26,079 --> 00:16:27,920
back and forth contacts with different

422
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:32,480
people, but we got it solved.

423
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,880
And then uh that's pretty much it that

424
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,560
we've done so far. We're just still

425
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,360
doing a lot of basin repairs,

426
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,240
catch basins that are failing or the

427
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,079
tops are broke or whatever. We've been

428
00:16:44,079 --> 00:16:45,839
doing that

429
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:47,920
and in the next few weeks, just so that

430
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,120
everybody knows, they're going to be

431
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,160
starting a bunch of projects.

432
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,839
We're going to be starting Becky's put

433
00:16:53,839 --> 00:16:56,320
it on the website for me, but it's all

434
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,920
subject to weather.

435
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:58,320
>> Yeah.

436
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,160
>> But Dickinson Street's supposed to be

437
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,519
ground on the the 12th

438
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:06,480
and graded and then paving hopefully the

439
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,079
13th.

440
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:09,839
School Street, the small portion from

441
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:12,240
the fire station to the intersection of

442
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,679
East Street. Yep.

443
00:17:13,679 --> 00:17:15,280
>> is going to get paved at the same time,

444
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,439
the 13th, 14th area. East Street's going

445
00:17:19,439 --> 00:17:22,880
to get ground next week. And then the

446
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,480
sewer department's going to change all

447
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,439
their sewer covers. So, if people can

448
00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:30,240
avoid East Street, it would be helpful.

449
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,080
I mean, we'll have it so residents can

450
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,919
get home in and out.

451
00:17:33,919 --> 00:17:35,360
>> It's just going to be hectic with the

452
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:37,280
grinding going on and then they all the

453
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,039
sewer manholes have to be changed and

454
00:17:39,039 --> 00:17:40,000
they're [snorts] all down the middle of

455
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,679
the road. Um, so and then they're going

456
00:17:43,679 --> 00:17:48,000
to go over to St. Mary Street. This is

457
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,200
all within the 13th and 14th on the

458
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,280
pavement hopefully, weather permitting.

459
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:53,840
>> Yeah.

460
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,640
>> And then old Turnpike Road, the top

461
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:57,919
portion, they're going to they're going

462
00:17:57,919 --> 00:18:00,320
to completely rip that up, grade it cuz

463
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,400
it's all broken up, uh, and pave that

464
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,080
the same time. So,

465
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:06,480
>> Mhm.

466
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,240
>> It's going to be busy out in the general

467
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,640
area, just so people know.

468
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,240
We're going to have a couple detours set

469
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,400
up when we start the pavement to make it

470
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,039
easier.

471
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:18,000
>> Mhm.

472
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:18,320
>> Yeah.

473
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,120
>> So, that's the fall

474
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:23,600
harra, I guess you want to say.

475
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,600
>> The last harra before the

476
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,000
>> Yeah.

477
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,280
>> Um, so this is all on the website. I

478
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,640
just noticed cuz I got the email

479
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,400
announcement. Thank you very much. Uh,

480
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,480
cuz when she posts it, it actually sends

481
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,240
out an email, too. Mhm.

482
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,240
>> Um so if people aren't signed up for

483
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,400
that um they might want to be signed up

484
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,400
for that. So then as she changes

485
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,919
announcements then they would get

486
00:18:43,919 --> 00:18:45,200
notices.

487
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:45,919
>> Um is there

488
00:18:45,919 --> 00:18:47,280
>> we're trying to tell all the residents

489
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,200
as we're working on the roads if

490
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,840
somebody comes to town to expect delays

491
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:52,240
or

492
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:52,640
>> Okay.

493
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,240
>> I mean Dickinson Street is pretty easy.

494
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,080
There's only four houses on so it's

495
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,440
pretty simple. Right.

496
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,840
>> We were trying to do it on a Monday when

497
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,760
the library is closed but

498
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,520
>> and you don't have the food pantry on a

499
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,679
Saturday without Yeah, exactly. They got

500
00:19:05,679 --> 00:19:07,440
to grind that whole road. So that's why

501
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,440
it's going to take a little longer and

502
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,960
so the pavement won't be till the end of

503
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,280
the week. So we'll try to get it figured

504
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,360
out as to how we can get people in there

505
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:16,880
if they have to get into the parking

506
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:17,520
lot.

507
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:18,400
>> Mhm.

508
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:18,799
>> Okay.

509
00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:20,880
>> Um cuz that's just going to be a base

510
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,799
coat there cuz that's going to be oil

511
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:26,080
and stone next year. So that they can

512
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,559
drive on that sooner than like East

513
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:30,400
Street's going to be a final coat and

514
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,080
they'll mark it up if they drive on it

515
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:32,799
too soon.

516
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:34,640
>> Mhm.

517
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,799
most of the roadside. We got our new

518
00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:38,400
roadside mower.

519
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,679
>> Yay.

520
00:19:39,679 --> 00:19:41,679
>> He's been Yep.

521
00:19:41,679 --> 00:19:43,919
>> Uh he's almost done. We've done the

522
00:19:43,919 --> 00:19:46,720
whole town almost three times this year

523
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,720
>> between all the mowing and stuff.

524
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,120
>> Mhm.

525
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:50,720
>> Which people have been really happy

526
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,240
about cuz they can see through

527
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,440
intersections and

528
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,160
>> Yeah.

529
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,400
>> other things. I mean, the new mower has

530
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,919
only been going for about a month and a

531
00:19:57,919 --> 00:19:58,559
half.

532
00:19:58,559 --> 00:20:00,720
>> Mhm. But it makes a big difference cuz

533
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,200
he can reach a little further and it

534
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,440
does a lot better job than the old one

535
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,360
was doing. So I do notice a difference.

536
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:10,880
We just had a little We have a little

537
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,360
snap of one of registrations. But

538
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:14,640
>> oops.

539
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:15,039
>> Really?

540
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:16,320
>> Did you get pulled over?

541
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:16,799
>> No.

542
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:18,720
We can't get it registered. I have

543
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,640
to go to Springfield and try now.

544
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,280
>> Oh, no.

545
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,280
>> It's a specialty plate and nobody can

546
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,960
explain why. Cuz our last one was

547
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:25,919
registered.

548
00:20:25,919 --> 00:20:26,240
>> Yeah.

549
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:26,720
>> Normally.

550
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,480
>> Oh, interesting. probably because they

551
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,919
want more money.

552
00:20:29,919 --> 00:20:32,080
>> Well, the last one I I think we figured

553
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,840
out a lot of it is because it's a John

554
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,600
Deere tractor with a mowing attachment

555
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,159
on it.

556
00:20:36,159 --> 00:20:37,200
>> This is a full

557
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,600
>> This is a mower attachment that's made

558
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,640
by this. It's not a John Deere tractor,

559
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,720
but the town of Greenfield's going

560
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,600
through the same problem. Um I talked to

561
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:48,960
them because I asked what they did and

562
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,080
they said, "I don't know. What are you

563
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,559
doing?" Because every they've been to

564
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:54,720
two registries in Boston and they won't

565
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,039
register it. So, I got to go to what is

566
00:20:57,039 --> 00:20:59,440
it? The specialty plates

567
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,480
in Springfield and try to otherwise we

568
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,799
got to petition Boston registry is what

569
00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:06,480
we've been told.

570
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,159
>> Really? It's kind of bizarre.

571
00:21:10,159 --> 00:21:11,200
>> Okay.

572
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,440
>> But I talked to the insurance company

573
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,280
and they said we're okay. We got the

574
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,280
lights, we got the triangle, and we're

575
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,950
insured. So,

576
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,480
» great. [laughter]

577
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,480
>> Done. We've got all our new trucks. The

578
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,480
two trucks that we've had on order for a

579
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,880
long time, we have those during service.

580
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,480
>> Great.

581
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,320
>> Um,

582
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,640
other than that, we're moving forward.

583
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:37,840
>> Okay.

584
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,840
>> Old window road. There were some issues

585
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,520
last year, end of last year, beginning

586
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,679
of this year, upper and lower. Are those

587
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:45,440
were those taken care of?

588
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,960
>> As in the plowing portion,

589
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,960
>> plowing and

590
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,280
this year because they're dirt. So we go

591
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,960
to two different

592
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,840
>> one you we only salt the black top and

593
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,440
then the truck has to go back after

594
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:58,799
we're done salt and then they go back

595
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:00,320
and sand.

596
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,400
>> So we switch out and do the dirt roads

597
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,280
after.

598
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:03,840
>> Okay.

599
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,320
>> And depending on the routes are going to

600
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,000
change a little this year. So depending

601
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
on the trucks that are up there, some of

602
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,679
the trucks can't even turn around on the

603
00:22:11,679 --> 00:22:14,240
top. So the big the big truck will go

604
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,080
down to um Cody Sison's parking area

605
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,520
>> cuz it's big enough for him to turn

606
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,559
around there. And then the

607
00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:22,159
subcontractors

608
00:22:22,159 --> 00:22:24,799
>> go beyond there. But the subcontractors

609
00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:26,640
are sometimes a little

610
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,799
>> later than what the bigger truck goes

611
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:30,400
down. Depends on,

612
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,400
>> you know, how soon they cuz the the

613
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,799
subcontractor goes down like four mile

614
00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:37,440
brook and does that all the dirt roads

615
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,320
down that way. Then it comes back up and

616
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,520
goes the two ways out the dirt roads.

617
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,960
>> So you're doing um the lower end of old

618
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,480
window road. You're pushing the

619
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,320
embankment back, fixing that up. Is that

620
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,520
for drainage more than

621
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,440
>> drainage next year? Getting started on

622
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,120
that and plus the place for the snow to

623
00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:56,799
go cuz we always had a problem like we

624
00:22:56,799 --> 00:22:58,799
do on Alexander Hill. The snow, they're

625
00:22:58,799 --> 00:22:59,679
all high banks.

626
00:22:59,679 --> 00:23:00,559
>> We're going to be able to push.

627
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:02,320
>> So yeah, the snow would all fall back

628
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,960
down on the road. So we got that area

629
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,720
for the snow to go. We got to do

630
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,159
drainage there next year and then we're

631
00:23:08,159 --> 00:23:09,760
going to pave the whole thing.

632
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:10,720
>> The whole road.

633
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,400
>> Well, yeah. Hopefully up to old window

634
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,440
the intersection of Lyman

635
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,640
uh that area.

636
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,440
>> Can we talk a little bit more about is

637
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,320
the drainage work going to help with um

638
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,720
I'm just thinking wanted to make sure

639
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,640
that we updated I think we talked a

640
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,000
little bit. I went back and looked at my

641
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,600
notes. Your last update was in June and

642
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,760
we had a I mean you went through

643
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,400
basically I think almost everything so

644
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,039
far, but then we talked about and we did

645
00:23:43,039 --> 00:23:46,000
this last year of what we could actually

646
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,000
do with Old Wendle because we set aside

647
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,440
what was it $150,000

648
00:23:53,440 --> 00:24:00,470
to actually fix past Cody Sison.

649
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,280
It was the the 150 was for I think it

650
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,159
was 200,000

651
00:24:04,159 --> 00:24:05,120
>> 200,000

652
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,120
>> that was for engineering to figure out

653
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:09,840
what it was going to cost us to either

654
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,080
do the whole road portions of the road

655
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,159
how we were going to do it. So the

656
00:24:14,159 --> 00:24:16,240
survey has been done and then we've been

657
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,159
back and forth

658
00:24:18,159 --> 00:24:21,200
the not the sur the whole study I guess

659
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,440
I should say with the engineering. Um

660
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,440
they've done that. We have copies of

661
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,960
that. We're trying to get some bigger

662
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:27,520
copies.

663
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,279
>> He emailed me today. I asked him, he's

664
00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:30,640
going to send me some of the survey

665
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,200
portion large.

666
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,400
>> And we, me and Andre have talked about

667
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,120
coming to certain portions of it and ex

668
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:41,120
expanding to make a good turnaround for

669
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:42,080
plow trucks.

670
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:42,480
>> Mhm.

671
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,559
>> And to solve some of the problems, but

672
00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:46,480
there's still a lot of work. The

673
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,360
drainage all has to be improved. But if

674
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:51,760
we were to go,00 It's approximately,

675
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,960
1100 ft on both the lower end that's not

676
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,840
maintained now from where we stop. going

677
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,640
up, 1100 feet and then at the top coming

678
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,400
down, 1100 feet.

679
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,240
>> There's good places to make turnarounds

680
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,000
for the plow trucks. Yeah. And

681
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,760
everything else.

682
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,080
>> And then from that portion down, we have

683
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,240
to decide or you guys have to decide how

684
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,360
we want to proceed with it,

685
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:17,279
>> whether we're going to just not maintain

686
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:18,960
it

687
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,720
or there's been some ideas thrown

688
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:21,200
around,

689
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,559
>> right? I talked to to legal. I mean

690
00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:24,960
there's obviously you have two well you

691
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,720
have three you can do nothing but I

692
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,559
think we've talked about not continuing.

693
00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:29,760
>> Well I just want to make sure we're

694
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,760
keeping the because we had the petition

695
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,000
from all the residents in that area. So

696
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,919
I just want to make sure that we're

697
00:25:35,919 --> 00:25:37,520
identifying clear and I know these

698
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,880
things take a while. I just want to make

699
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,960
sure that we're laying out the steps

700
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,520
properly and making sure they feel

701
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,200
>> okay things are moving forward even

702
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,559
though it takes a while and we're doing

703
00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:49,120
things in chunks here and there. Um,

704
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,120
>> I think the idea of doing the 1100 on

705
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:53,200
each side is getting to where where

706
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,600
people are currently accessing where we

707
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,039
see some people currently accessing plus the homes that are on the dirt

708
00:25:59,039 --> 00:26:00,640
portion. But but even beyond that,

709
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,159
there's a few people that access a

710
00:26:02,159 --> 00:26:04,880
couple points and where they can safely

711
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,840
turn around and then after that the road

712
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,000
actually becomes impassible because no

713
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,360
one is accessing through ledge trees

714
00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:14,159
growing.

715
00:26:14,159 --> 00:26:17,360
>> So um what to do at that point? So Tom

716
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:19,840
has identified where he thinks it makes

717
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,840
sense to stop on each end,

718
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:22,320
>> right?

719
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,480
>> And put in road, you know, and that'll

720
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:25,919
be some expense to that. He's going to

721
00:26:25,919 --> 00:26:28,159
price that and do a project, but then it

722
00:26:28,159 --> 00:26:29,200
would be done.

723
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,080
>> Um, and then you have to determine from

724
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,440
those two new end points what you want

725
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,240
to do with the middle section. And we

726
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,400
had pretty survey

727
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,400
>> the middle section, the impassible

728
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,520
section, if you will.

729
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,520
>> Correct. the section there.

730
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:46,960
>> Hasn't been maintained yet.

731
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,960
>> So, we're clearly stating that we're not

732
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,120
planning on doing I just want to state

733
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:52,640
the obvious. We're not planning on

734
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,640
cutting through and and connecting the

735
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,279
two pieces.

736
00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:56,320
>> That's millions of dollars.

737
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,720
>> No, I know. Um but I just wanted to make

738
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,200
and periodically I think like an Amazon

739
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,799
driver or somebody would like attempt

740
00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:03,760
to, you know.

741
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:09,039
>> Yeah. But barring uh GPS errors aside,

742
00:27:09,039 --> 00:27:11,039
um we're just clearly stating that we

743
00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:12,480
need to there's a number of different

744
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,880
things that we would need to do even

745
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,880
when we're stating the obvious on either

746
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,120
side. So the top part of the lower

747
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:21,760
portion and the low part of the top

748
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,320
portion of Old Wendell Road and then

749
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,159
ignoring that piece in between. So can

750
00:27:26,159 --> 00:27:29,360
you just explain those steps and I'd

751
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:31,039
like to be able to lay out some sort of

752
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:33,360
schedule even if it's just

753
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:34,960
>> so

754
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,880
done the first part which is to measure

755
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,559
from the current maintained portions and

756
00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:41,600
to really mark out where it should stop

757
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,600
for the safety of their vehicles and for

758
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,880
where people are no longer using

759
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,080
>> so that it works for

760
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,600
>> and then he's going to work on turning

761
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,760
that into cost estimating how much work

762
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,080
has to be done. He's got drainage, road

763
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,279
maintenance. I mean obviously you don't

764
00:27:53,279 --> 00:27:58,000
just pave um survey that was conducted

765
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,240
by Thai and bond which we did in this

766
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,720
report I think it's going to turn out to

767
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,039
be necessary it's going to turn out to

768
00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:08,640
be enough to establish any proposed

769
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,240
further

770
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,240
option with that road if it's going to

771
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,360
be a discontinuence of the road between

772
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:17,279
those two points or what they call a

773
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:20,159
discontinuence of maintenance.

774
00:28:20,159 --> 00:28:22,720
So, there's two options there. Um,

775
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,279
discontinuing of the road is literally

776
00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:27,039
an extinguishment of the public's right

777
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:32,159
to use the road. I mean, it's it's a got about 10 meetings. You have

778
00:28:32,159 --> 00:28:34,799
to you it's it's a much more complicated

779
00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:37,440
and the road essentially goes away. So,

780
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,200
the people who have land in between

781
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,360
literally lose access. So, that didn't

782
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,600
seem the optimal

783
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,760
or or the public people who walk it.

784
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,360
There's some of the land in there's

785
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,120
conservation land. like it just didn't

786
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:54,000
seem that was our first best choice. So,

787
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,399
one of one of the things we talked about

788
00:28:56,399 --> 00:28:59,679
was a discontinuence of maintenance, not

789
00:28:59,679 --> 00:29:02,880
the discontinuing the road. Um, this

790
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,880
means the public continue to have rights

791
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,440
of travel over the road. So, people can

792
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,000
still walk it. It can connect to trails.

793
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,919
There are some properties are up there

794
00:29:11,919 --> 00:29:15,200
owned by Mount Grace Conservation Land.

795
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,679
Um

796
00:29:17,679 --> 00:29:20,799
that statute requires that a whole

797
00:29:20,799 --> 00:29:23,600
outline of steps

798
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,200
and so the board would have to establish

799
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,880
if that's the route you want to take. It

800
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,399
does not require a town meeting. It's

801
00:29:28,399 --> 00:29:30,399
actually the vote of the select board.

802
00:29:30,399 --> 00:29:34,080
But it does require some notification,

803
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,080
public hearing,

804
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,000
posting,

805
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,840
uh, putting some things up on the town

806
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,600
clerk's office, and some advertising to

807
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,080
get the public aware. So, that's a

808
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,640
process the select board could undertake

809
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,960
before you then

810
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,039
move to vote to discontinue. And it's

811
00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:53,760
essentially

812
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,039
when you have a public hearing, you

813
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:57,039
discuss that the way is abandoned for

814
00:29:57,039 --> 00:29:58,960
because it's unused for ordinary travel,

815
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,559
which I think we don't have any real

816
00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:03,840
problem establishing. The road is unused

817
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,279
for ordinary travel. You can't drive

818
00:30:05,279 --> 00:30:09,440
through it. Um, so we're talking just to

819
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,240
ask a really stupid obvious question.

820
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,320
I'm thinking of Mary back in the day

821
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,080
would say, "Explain it like I'm a fourth

822
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,559
grader." So, we're just talking about

823
00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:20,320
the options that you've laid out here

824
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,399
are for that portion in between.

825
00:30:22,399 --> 00:30:23,200
>> Yes. Okay.

826
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,520
>> Yes.

827
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,440
After the extension that that he's

828
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,360
already looking at on both sides.

829
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,440
>> Um that's clearly people who have homes

830
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,799
that are accessing and some people who

831
00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:34,399
are accessing a little beyond that.

832
00:30:34,399 --> 00:30:34,799
Yeah.

833
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:41,679
>> There routinely and that is travelable now. Um and people do some

834
00:30:41,679 --> 00:30:43,360
even if they park and walk in there,

835
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,600
there's some people that are using that.

836
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,440
But there becomes a point on both sides

837
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,840
where you cannot use it for for ordinary

838
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,880
travel. It is not a public way in the

839
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,279
sense that you can actually drive it or

840
00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:57,760
almost walk it. It just a trail if

841
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,600
anything that becomes the area we're

842
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,950
talking about.

843
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,520
So there's a process you can go through

844
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,440
some determinations as a select board

845
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,600
that you would have to make and then you

846
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,320
could ultimately vote to discontinue

847
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,080
based on the survey we have very

848
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,320
specific

849
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,480
boundaries not just random

850
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,960
um then we have to file with the town

851
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,440
clerk and signs have to be posted and

852
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,200
like I said there's a process

853
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,240
>> but it is something to consider

854
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,200
>> um doing because the property has kind

855
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,640
of been in sort of a limbo for a while.

856
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,559
>> Okay. So, in the grand scheme of Old

857
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:43,519
Wendell Road, do we need to do and in

858
00:31:43,519 --> 00:31:45,679
the sequencing of events, does this need

859
00:31:45,679 --> 00:31:48,640
to be done before we can do the um when

860
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,919
we finally get to the point of paving?

861
00:31:51,919 --> 00:31:53,919
>> I think you should do that first and

862
00:31:53,919 --> 00:31:57,279
then you would establish the exact end

863
00:31:57,279 --> 00:31:58,399
paving first.

864
00:31:58,399 --> 00:31:59,679
>> Yeah. He should determine where he's

865
00:31:59,679 --> 00:32:01,760
going to be at, you know, the end.

866
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,200
>> Correct. where he's going to maintain

867
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,799
till until Tom needs to establish that

868
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:08,320
mark it out. I mean, we can be doing the

869
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,519
process simultaneously, but ultimately

870
00:32:11,519 --> 00:32:13,519
we would want that well marked and

871
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:15,120
delineated because we would have to put

872
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,399
people on notice,

873
00:32:16,399 --> 00:32:18,320
>> right?

874
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,440
>> And then GPS, you probably would have to

875
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,279
change the names of one of the two

876
00:32:23,279 --> 00:32:23,679
probably.

877
00:32:23,679 --> 00:32:24,880
>> Well, if you want to change the names,

878
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,399
that's something you could do. uh that

879
00:32:26,399 --> 00:32:27,760
probably has to go to town meeting to

880
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,840
vote, but you could do upper old window

881
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:30,880
and lower old window

882
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,799
>> and you'd have a sign that this that's

883
00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:33,760
this big, right?

884
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,440
>> I mean, so that's that is something you

885
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,880
could do at that point. U which would

886
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,559
probably be helpful because there are

887
00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:41,440
people who

888
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,880
>> when you say old Wendell Road, they're

889
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:43,679
like,

890
00:32:43,679 --> 00:32:45,360
>> you have trucks coming up.

891
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:46,720
>> You kind of have to be in the know

892
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,399
>> where the numbers change. You have to

893
00:32:48,399 --> 00:32:49,279
kind of know that.

894
00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:51,600
>> Yeah. Okay. But at this point, right,

895
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,919
I'm going to from off the plans that

896
00:32:53,919 --> 00:32:56,320
they gave try to establish what each end

897
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,320
is going to cost

898
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,080
for the drainage and whatnot. Then we

899
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,159
have to establish where you know how

900
00:33:02,159 --> 00:33:04,000
much money it's going to cost. You're

901
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
probably talking close to a half million

902
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,039
dollars each end.

903
00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:08,399
>> Each end. So millions.

904
00:33:08,399 --> 00:33:10,559
>> It needs it all needs updated drainage.

905
00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:12,080
There's some blasting that's going to

906
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,840
have to be done on the upper portion to

907
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,480
move some of the rock that's out that we

908
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,399
plow around. Now, I mean, if you're

909
00:33:18,399 --> 00:33:19,919
going to do it and you're going to

910
00:33:19,919 --> 00:33:22,480
>> do it and do it right,

911
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,080
>> you might as well blast the ledge and

912
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,080
get it back now,

913
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,960
>> as well as for the drainage as well. So,

914
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:29,760
it's

915
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,760
>> it's probably a couple year project

916
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,760
before you're done with the whole thing

917
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,360
>> at this point. So,

918
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,720
>> is that something you'd probably hired

919
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:37,840
out? You guys wouldn't probably be able

920
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:38,880
to do it, right?

921
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,080
>> No, we could do everything but the

922
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,279
blast.

923
00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:43,360
>> Yeah. Yeah. The rest of it's all just

924
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,679
really drainage. There's a little bit of

925
00:33:45,679 --> 00:33:47,679
tree removal, but most of it's actually

926
00:33:47,679 --> 00:33:49,440
been done. The drainage is the big

927
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:49,760
thing.

928
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:50,399
>> Yeah.

929
00:33:50,399 --> 00:33:52,399
>> Um, but some of the drainage has never

930
00:33:52,399 --> 00:33:54,960
been done properly because of the ledge

931
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,880
there cuz you got to blast it. So, they

932
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,559
just kind of laid the pipes on the

933
00:33:58,559 --> 00:33:59,679
ledge,

934
00:33:59,679 --> 00:34:03,120
>> which you don't have the depth.

935
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:04,880
>> When you grade, you hit the pipes all

936
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,640
the time and stuff. So, you'd have to

937
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:07,760
change all that.

938
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:08,159
>> Okay.

939
00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:10,159
>> That's so you could I mean, you could do

940
00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:12,480
the discontinuence of maintenance while

941
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,599
he's doing that. You don't have to wait

942
00:34:13,599 --> 00:34:14,320
till

943
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:15,119
>> parallel. Correct.

944
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:16,079
>> Correct.

945
00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:18,079
>> But we but he would have marked the we

946
00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:19,440
would know where by then.

947
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,200
>> Would there be any grants that might

948
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,280
help us with this?

949
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,879
>> I mean chapter 90.

950
00:34:24,879 --> 00:34:27,040
>> Well, yeah. And you wouldn't want to use

951
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,599
it all at once. Be using it over time.

952
00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:31,440
>> That would be the thing with what we

953
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,399
get. You got to use it portionally to

954
00:34:34,399 --> 00:34:34,879
>> right

955
00:34:34,879 --> 00:34:36,960
>> to figure it out. That's what we kind of

956
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,800
do now. And we we got to remember we

957
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,320
still got one bridge

958
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:40,720
>> y

959
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:42,560
>> that we're still in limbo on on school

960
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:43,919
street that

961
00:34:43,919 --> 00:34:45,520
>> well and the funding that we got from

962
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,320
the state was for equipment not not for

963
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,119
actually not for the operational work of

964
00:34:51,119 --> 00:34:53,200
paving. I just wanted to clarify that

965
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,879
cuz somebody had asked me that a while

966
00:34:54,879 --> 00:34:57,599
back portion of that correct we just got

967
00:34:57,599 --> 00:34:58,960
the portion

968
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,359
>> so we can continue to look into funding.

969
00:35:01,359 --> 00:35:04,880
I just are the steps and timing clear.

970
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,480
So that very next step is what?

971
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:07,520
Drainage.

972
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,280
>> Well, looking at the cost of it and then

973
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,280
I can I can come back and figure out,

974
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,800
you know, then we're going to know.

975
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,400
>> He's got to basically do a scope of

976
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,040
work, right?

977
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,119
>> And then cost that scope of work.

978
00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:19,680
>> Okay. So, when can we establish a time

979
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,280
frame for that or do you two want to

980
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,960
talk about it and come back so we can

981
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,400
start laying out?

982
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,720
>> I'll work on this winter. I mean, to get

983
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:27,119
>> Yeah,

984
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:28,880
>> it's, you know, that's the best time for

985
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,480
me because there's a lot to it going

986
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,240
over the plan,

987
00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:33,440
>> you know. So yeah,

988
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,040
>> I mean they have most of that stuff, but

989
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,480
there could be questions. Yep.

990
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,560
>> I had talked to Titan bar and most of

991
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,240
what they had put on their plans is

992
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:42,320
stuff that's a doable thing without them

993
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,280
changing things. So I can basically look

994
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,599
at what they have in their design.

995
00:35:47,599 --> 00:35:48,000
>> Yeah.

996
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,599
>> It just takes a lot of time to go back

997
00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:50,960
and forth. So

998
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,880
>> and we do have some of that funding. So

999
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,960
I think we can use that for the

1000
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,040
engineering even I think of the work

1001
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,200
you're going to do because we've already

1002
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,880
>> still more in that fund.

1003
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,320
>> Correct. Mhm.

1004
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:02,800
>> Okay.

1005
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,079
>> That would take some of the pressure

1006
00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:05,839
off. It's not the construction funds per

1007
00:36:05,839 --> 00:36:06,960
se, although we might be able to

1008
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,800
reallocate what's left, but it would at

1009
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,960
least get him through.

1010
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:11,520
>> Now, go ahead.

1011
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:12,560
>> Some of the scope of work and

1012
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,720
engineering pieces to get ready.

1013
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:15,920
>> Feel like skip.

1014
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,040
>> Would it would it make sense to do one

1015
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,200
side and then the other

1016
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,599
>> and not in concurrent

1017
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:24,640
upper then lower?

1018
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,599
>> Yeah. And if if so,

1019
00:36:27,599 --> 00:36:30,079
which one would be

1020
00:36:30,079 --> 00:36:31,839
the

1021
00:36:31,839 --> 00:36:33,760
one that would want to be done first,

1022
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,200
upper or lower?

1023
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,880
>> I think you're going to engineer them

1024
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:37,520
both. We have

1025
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,520
>> You're going to engineer lower engineer.

1026
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,200
>> The upper is the one that we have the

1027
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,520
biggest problem with the turnaround.

1028
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,119
>> That's our upper end.

1029
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:45,520
>> Yeah.

1030
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,079
>> Okay.

1031
00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:48,400
>> And that's where the um requests have

1032
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,640
come more than once from the residents.

1033
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,359
So, can we I don't want to get too far

1034
00:36:53,359 --> 00:36:56,720
into the weeds on like we totally trust

1035
00:36:56,720 --> 00:36:59,119
your ability to figure out what's what

1036
00:36:59,119 --> 00:37:03,520
and I'll um I just want to maybe take it

1037
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,440
up a level and and we've got all this

1038
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,760
detail on how to discontinue the portion

1039
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,839
in between. just want to take it up a

1040
00:37:09,839 --> 00:37:11,440
level. Maybe we need to do this at the

1041
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,599
next meeting where we just say the

1042
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:16,320
following this is one of the steps in a

1043
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,480
larger project and it might be parallel

1044
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,400
to all the other steps. And if the focus

1045
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,200
on paving is for the upper portion of

1046
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,599
Wendell Road, then I know you would have

1047
00:37:27,599 --> 00:37:30,320
to do engineering for both, but then we

1048
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,480
could potentially sequence out beyond

1049
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,800
that. not even putting dates on it so

1050
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,640
much as what are the steps and then the

1051
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,359
dates will unfold as the we go through

1052
00:37:39,359 --> 00:37:41,599
the [snorts] the season because

1053
00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:44,640
obviously we're not going to be um

1054
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,040
paving in in the in the winter, right?

1055
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,560
And you're not going to pave before

1056
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,960
you've done the drainage. So, if we

1057
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,320
could just lay out those steps on on for

1058
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,480
the average person or somebody because

1059
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:57,920
the Greenfield Recorder is here too. So

1060
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,599
the green field recorder be like, "Oh,

1061
00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:01,520
this is this is what all that means that

1062
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,160
they just talked about." Okay. Anything

1063
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:04,800
else?

1064
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,400
>> No, I'm good. Nope.

1065
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,720
>> Okay. Does Does that make David?

1066
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:09,760
>> Uh, let's go.

1067
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,920
>> Two questions. One was I saw you this

1068
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,520
morning. So, I've actually had a town

1069
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,280
resident ask me how would they approach

1070
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,560
the town to request a street light?

1071
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,560
>> Oh,

1072
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,400
that is true.

1073
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,200
I don't used to have a committee, but I

1074
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:28,720
don't think there's a committee anymore.

1075
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:31,280
>> You had street light guidelines that are

1076
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,599
like multi-pages long. It's um so I have

1077
00:38:35,599 --> 00:38:37,839
those. I have to look at them again.

1078
00:38:37,839 --> 00:38:39,760
They seemed sort of out of date and a

1079
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,960
little cumbersome. Um

1080
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,920
it's it's really ultimately not a town

1081
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,839
decision. The town can certainly request

1082
00:38:47,839 --> 00:38:50,640
it. It's it's the polls are set by

1083
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,320
Verizon.

1084
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,160
I mean by Eversource

1085
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,480
>> Eversource sets the polls. So we have to

1086
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,960
actually petition Eversource to set a

1087
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,200
poll. We don't put poles in.

1088
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,839
>> The way it used to be was any dangerous

1089
00:39:03,839 --> 00:39:06,160
intersection when they went through and

1090
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,800
shut the lights off in town years ago.

1091
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,160
>> They were supposed to leave them on at

1092
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,599
any dangerous intersection or like a a a

1093
00:39:13,599 --> 00:39:17,119
sharp blinding type corner. Other than

1094
00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:18,800
that, they were shutting every other

1095
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,440
that was kind of their policy. And then

1096
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,920
if somebody I know for a fact because I

1097
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,920
was or my grandparents were paying till

1098
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,480
I bought their house, but if you wanted

1099
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,720
a street light in a certain spot that

1100
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:34,880
was not a necessity to them, you pay for

1101
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,960
it. They'll put one in, they'll turn it

1102
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,560
on, but you're paying through your

1103
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,440
electric bill on it.

1104
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,839
So, who would they reach out to you?

1105
00:39:43,839 --> 00:39:45,359
>> Yeah, they can start with me. I I'll

1106
00:39:45,359 --> 00:39:46,960
look at the guidelines again. I'll pull

1107
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,960
them. I didn't find them and I did look

1108
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,160
and we were looking at them with select

1109
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,760
board policies cuz we thought they were

1110
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,280
select policy but I don't think they

1111
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,480
actually are. It looks like they were

1112
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,680
set. Um but it looks pretty old and it

1113
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,359
pretty

1114
00:39:59,359 --> 00:40:01,440
like a five member board from

1115
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:02,400
>> committee

1116
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,320
>> that went through most people to turn

1117
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:05,680
them off. Most people wanted them all.

1118
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,119
>> No, I get okay thank you. So, um,

1119
00:40:09,119 --> 00:40:10,000
>> yeah,

1120
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,119
>> you're going to send them to me.

1121
00:40:11,119 --> 00:40:12,960
>> Send that to Andrea and then we're going

1122
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,320
to figure out where the select board

1123
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,079
fits into that.

1124
00:40:16,079 --> 00:40:18,160
>> Um, in case we actually need to send a

1125
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,200
letter or petition to um, ever question.

1126
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,280
>> Okay, second. Yeah, thanks. Thanks for

1127
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:24,960
helping. So, your second question is

1128
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,960
>> the second one was on Warwick Road.

1129
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,480
You're going to skim code it and then

1130
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:29,839
So, where are we with the long-term

1131
00:40:29,839 --> 00:40:31,280
solution for that? Anywhere?

1132
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:32,880
>> Well, that's going to happen next

1133
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:33,280
summer.

1134
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,119
>> Next summer, we're good to go to

1135
00:40:35,119 --> 00:40:36,720
everything. We got all the permits in

1136
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:39,920
place. It was just the the water because

1137
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,440
the water's going to work in conjunction

1138
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,400
because they're going to put on a new

1139
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,920
water man at the same time.

1140
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:44,400
>> Okay.

1141
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,200
>> Um so it's on the schedule for next

1142
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,520
summer. That's definitely

1143
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,520
>> I I really wanted it done.

1144
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,280
>> Perfect. Great. That's what I had.

1145
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:53,920
Thanks, Tom.

1146
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,000
>> Okay. Any other um streets or citizen?

1147
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,599
You've got one. Okay. Good.

1148
00:40:59,599 --> 00:41:02,400
>> Couple quick questions. I heard they're

1149
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,800
losing their hardline service at the

1150
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,880
transfer station. Well, I just heard

1151
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:07,760
that this afternoon.

1152
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,760
>> The what service? The hardline. The

1153
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:10,960
phone service.

1154
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,880
>> Supposedly, there's something new that

1155
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,319
is going to replace it.

1156
00:41:14,319 --> 00:41:14,960
>> Okay.

1157
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,839
>> That's what when I Bob spoke to me this

1158
00:41:17,839 --> 00:41:19,119
afternoon about it and

1159
00:41:19,119 --> 00:41:20,480
>> Oh, I was going to ask you to talk with

1160
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:21,599
Bob because you're listening.

1161
00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:23,599
>> I did talk to him and he said he talked

1162
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:25,920
with Aaron at length because they got a

1163
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,040
notice or something.

1164
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,560
>> Yeah. He talked with Karen, too.

1165
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,359
>> Yeah. And it's But supposedly they're

1166
00:41:31,359 --> 00:41:33,680
replacing it with something else.

1167
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:34,560
>> Okay.

1168
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,280
um that he was under the impression of

1169
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,880
>> they're doing away with the centric

1170
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:39,680
system,

1171
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,640
>> but they're not cutting all phone lines.

1172
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,200
There's a certain centric system that

1173
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,040
had to do with municipal and they think

1174
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,040
they're

1175
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,160
>> discontinuing that system.

1176
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,680
>> Okay. My other one, um have they updated

1177
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,200
you on that Milbrook siphon the access

1178
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,160
and the erosion issues? say, "I got an

1179
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,000
email wondering if we could get gravel

1180
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,880
out there somehow." But I haven't got in

1181
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,880
contact with Isaac to see

1182
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,599
>> if you could because they wanted to see

1183
00:42:09,599 --> 00:42:11,520
if you could do a lot of the work and

1184
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,160
save a lot of money cuz on one side they

1185
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,200
need uh some gravel laid down so the

1186
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,319
access is better.

1187
00:42:18,319 --> 00:42:19,920
>> Yeah. On the upper side, he gave me a

1188
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,119
set of plans and I know

1189
00:42:21,119 --> 00:42:22,640
>> the upper Okay, you've seen the plans

1190
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:22,880
cuz

1191
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,480
>> I've seen the plans and then I got an

1192
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,400
email last week. I guess they got

1193
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,680
everything through the con. They were

1194
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,359
waiting on the conservation as well.

1195
00:42:29,359 --> 00:42:30,400
>> Yeah, they're pretty much through that,

1196
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,560
but they got to do an a site visit.

1197
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,240
>> Yeah. And I told them whenever the site

1198
00:42:34,240 --> 00:42:35,760
visit, I'll go down and walk it with

1199
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,440
them so we were all on the same page.

1200
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:38,880
>> Okay. So, you you'll be able to commit

1201
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,800
to do that probably whenever we

1202
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:41,200
>> Yeah.

1203
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,040
>> Okay. Cuz that won't they we probably

1204
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,440
won't get the grant funding the funding

1205
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,599
award to that till June of next year.

1206
00:42:47,599 --> 00:42:48,560
>> Yeah.

1207
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:49,040
>> At least

1208
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,560
>> the MVP grant we're applying for.

1209
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,880
>> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That that was my other

1210
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,480
quest just to make sure you had seen the

1211
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,160
plans, had an idea.

1212
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,079
>> I have I have a set of them and because

1213
00:42:58,079 --> 00:43:00,640
we had they gave me one set and we had a

1214
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,560
few. We met down there and I you know we made a couple adjustments.

1215
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:05,680
>> Good.

1216
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:06,160
>> Okay.

1217
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:07,200
>> I'm fine with that. Thank you.

1218
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,560
>> Shane, did you have any?

1219
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,520
>> I'm good on highway. [laughter]

1220
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,880
>> I just want to update to the Warp Road

1221
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:15,920
Bridge.

1222
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:16,240
>> Yes.

1223
00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:18,319
>> I will I actually had to go to a meeting

1224
00:43:18,319 --> 00:43:20,480
this morning about it. We thought we'd

1225
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:21,920
have more answers than we did, but

1226
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,680
within a couple weeks, we're supposed to

1227
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,000
have schedule.

1228
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:26,480
>> Okay, good.

1229
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,960
>> So, I don't know if it's happening this

1230
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,440
year or not.

1231
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,760
>> They didn't really some, but it will be

1232
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,440
down in one lane if it happens. Um

1233
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,119
they're going to put uh temporary

1234
00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:40,880
traffic lights at both sides.

1235
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:41,440
>> Okay.

1236
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,920
>> Um so, and they know they have to

1237
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,760
coordinate with the fire, the AMS,

1238
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:46,880
everybody. Yeah,

1239
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,720
>> right now they didn't have any tenative

1240
00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:50,160
dates cuz they just awarded the

1241
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:50,880
contract.

1242
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:51,599
>> Okay,

1243
00:43:51,599 --> 00:43:53,680
>> that thanks for that. I was glad I

1244
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,920
didn't have to go to that meeting. The

1245
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,319
um just so everybody else knows we

1246
00:43:58,319 --> 00:44:01,040
updated there was a question from EMS

1247
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,760
and fire regarding the um you know

1248
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,280
especially the route 10 bridge if they

1249
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,240
do work on that if it affects service at

1250
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:10,560
all. They want to know about it. So we

1251
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,520
updated all the emails for mass dot got

1252
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,560
EMS in the loop. um fire's new email is

1253
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,640
now um hooked into the mass dot list and

1254
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,720
then Senator Cmerford's office checked

1255
00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:24,880
and made sure that Mass Dot was actually

1256
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,359
communicating and I said yes. I said we

1257
00:44:27,359 --> 00:44:29,200
got all the emails and now we're invited

1258
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,680
to a meeting. So, um we're good on that

1259
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,839
portion of it. Anything else with

1260
00:44:33,839 --> 00:44:35,440
Alexander Hill? The

1261
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:36,880
>> We're trying to get up there if we have

1262
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:37,280

1264
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,560
>> We got a We were waiting on the trees.

1265
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:41,839
They finally There's one more tree

1266
00:44:41,839 --> 00:44:43,839
that's got to be cut up there. Oh,

1267
00:44:43,839 --> 00:44:45,040
they're still working up there on the

1268
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:45,920
trees. Yeah.

1269
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,000
>> Okay. Can we hurry that up?

1270
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,079
>> Do you want me to hurry it up?

1271
00:44:50,079 --> 00:44:53,680
>> Okay. And then uh we have an email that

1272
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,680
we'll talk to you guys about tomorrow

1273
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,520
about four mile brook.

1274
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,520
>> I think it's cable. I haven't got

1275
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,640
through to them. Oh, okay.

1276
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,400
>> I called munkers today.

1277
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:02,800
>> Okay.

1278
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:03,920
>> As well to film.

1279
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,839
>> It should be all set. It's in the town

1280
00:45:05,839 --> 00:45:09,119
right away anyways. The flag right it's

1281
00:45:09,119 --> 00:45:09,920
not the town.

1282
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,720
>> All right. We will respond uh on that

1283
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:16,560
question as well. Perfect timing. Okay.

1284
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,160
Yeah. So, we'll we'll have you back for

1285
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:18,560
sure.

1286
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,000
>> Okay. [laughter]

1287
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:20,319
>> Thank you.

1288
00:45:20,319 --> 00:45:22,160
Tom.

1289
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:23,760
>> All right. I'm going to do the fire

1290
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,520
chief next because we said 6:45 for him.

1291
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:28,960
So, are you Lynette?

1292
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:29,440
>> Yes.

1293
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:30,640
>> Lynette, hi. I thought you were going to

1294
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:31,920
be here earlier. So, we're going to go

1295
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,160
ahead and talk to the fire chief.

1296
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:39,270
Michael, come on down.

1297
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,839
Okay,

1298
00:45:41,839 --> 00:45:43,760
>> great.

1299
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:44,960
Hello.

1300
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:45,760
>> How are you?

1301
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,520
>> Good.

1302
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,720
That was a fine celebration for uh Skip

1303
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:52,160
on Saturday.

1304
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,920
>> Welcome back. Yeah.

1305
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:54,480
>> Yeah.

1306
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,926
>> Was it like last week you were here?

1307
00:45:56,926 --> 00:45:58,079
[laughter]

1308
00:45:58,079 --> 00:46:00,240
>> Um no, Saturday night I think went very

1309
00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:00,880
well.

1310
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,480
>> It did. I know he was very overwhelmed

1311
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,240
and appreciative and Yes.

1312
00:46:08,240 --> 00:46:10,560
>> Yes. And there's a big article on him in

1313
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,400
the Greenfield Recorder.

1314
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,040
>> Thank you, Madison. Okay. So, we're here

1315
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:16,640
to talk about your chief agreement

1316
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,160
because we have been making a lot of

1317
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,079
progress on the transition summary. So,

1318
00:46:20,079 --> 00:46:22,880
there's no new updates on that. Mike and

1319
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:27,280
I and Andrea have a meeting

1320
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,359
next week on October 7th to um deal with

1321
00:46:31,359 --> 00:46:33,599
the auxiliary role as well as minor

1322
00:46:33,599 --> 00:46:36,640
edits to the associate firefighter.

1323
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,480
>> I have it in, but I had I didn't set the

1324
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:39,040
time.

1325
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:39,520
>> Three.

1326
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,079
>> Okay. 3:00. Make sure I have that in.

1327
00:46:42,079 --> 00:46:44,880
>> And then um so we'll have a couple of uh

1328
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,160
relatively easy hopefully issues to deal

1329
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,920
with. So you can come back to the next

1330
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,839
meeting too, Mike.

1331
00:46:51,839 --> 00:46:54,960
October out here.

1332
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,680
>> He's trying to beat u our EMS chief

1333
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,599
record and and we might have the police

1334
00:46:59,599 --> 00:47:02,160
chief next at next meeting as well so we

1335
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,240
can get him back in the in the running

1336
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:07,599
for most select board meetings attended.

1337
00:47:07,599 --> 00:47:12,240
Okay. So, um we took the contract the um

1338
00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:15,520
the wording of it is fine per you

1339
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,119
>> I Nothing jumped out at me. So,

1340
00:47:17,119 --> 00:47:19,440
>> Yep. Andrea and myself, we reviewed that

1341
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,319
last week. We took the board's advice

1342
00:47:22,319 --> 00:47:24,560
regarding and Skip's advice by the way

1343
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,599
too to go back and revisit the um

1344
00:47:27,599 --> 00:47:30,720
salary. So that new salary which is

1345
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:33,359
where we had kind of started and also I

1346
00:47:33,359 --> 00:47:36,720
went back and I looked at the different

1347
00:47:36,720 --> 00:47:39,680
if anybody wants this the um survey that

1348
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,680
you had put together. So, we're right in

1349
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,960
line with um other towns as well, the

1350
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,319
new amount of 12,000

1351
00:47:48,319 --> 00:47:48,560
um

1352
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,359
>> which is also very within

1353
00:47:51,359 --> 00:47:53,839
>> few hundreds of dollars what Skip got

1354
00:47:53,839 --> 00:47:55,520
last year. So, it's really not much of a

1355
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:55,760
change.

1356
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,720
>> We're we're basically rounding up which

1357
00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:00,960
we sort of eliminated the stipens and

1358
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,560
now they've been rolled into the base

1359
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,240
pay and everything. So, it's it's it's

1360
00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:04,960
really a

1361
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,160
>> it's much easier. It's [clears throat] a

1362
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,319
simplification of three or four

1363
00:48:08,319 --> 00:48:10,240
different stipens plus hourly plus this

1364
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:11,839
and and I looked at two or three years

1365
00:48:11,839 --> 00:48:14,160
to make sure that we were right in line

1366
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,839
with that. We also I think it um just

1367
00:48:17,839 --> 00:48:19,920
sets a clear easier standard because

1368
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,640
it's a certain monthly amount um and

1369
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,400
annually for the for their budgeting.

1370
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,000
They know exactly what they're talking

1371
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,000
about for the chief salary.

1372
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:28,559
>> Yep.

1373
00:48:28,559 --> 00:48:31,520
>> Um and it I think it reflects also some

1374
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,599
changes in updating in the job

1375
00:48:33,599 --> 00:48:35,200
description and responsibilities.

1376
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,839
Correct. And it doesn't really affect

1377
00:48:37,839 --> 00:48:39,359
the FY27 budget.

1378
00:48:39,359 --> 00:48:40,960
>> It doesn't. No, it fell falls into the

1379
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,200
numbers that we were using. So, yeah.

1380
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,240
>> Y any questions? And and actually this

1381
00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:48,079
answers directly answers the question

1382
00:48:48,079 --> 00:48:49,599
that David had raised at the last

1383
00:48:49,599 --> 00:48:52,800
meeting. Thanks, David. About um that we

1384
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,480
should be paying more. I know that Mike

1385
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:56,800
was

1386
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,040
>> Well, my question was, is it in line?

1387
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:00,400
>> Yes.

1388
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:01,520
>> And it is. It is.

1389
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:02,960
>> That was my question. Yeah.

1390
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,119
>> Yes. I'm not running into a house that's

1391
00:49:05,119 --> 00:49:07,534
on fire for that wage.

1392
00:49:07,534 --> 00:49:07,760
[snorts]

1393
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:08,400
>> Let's secure.

1394
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,153
>> I just tell people to do it now.

1395
00:49:10,153 --> 00:49:11,200
[laughter]

1396
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,200
>> See that?

1397
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,520
>> Pays fine.

1398
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:16,640
>> You're just going to have to develop

1399
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,359
your pointing finger through the radio.

1400
00:49:19,359 --> 00:49:19,760
>> Um

1401
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,880
>> I have an antenna now. [laughter]

1402
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,119
>> Okay. Um any other questions? I thought

1403
00:49:25,119 --> 00:49:26,720
it was a good discussion last week. So,

1404
00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:28,319
we're just formalizing what we talked

1405
00:49:28,319 --> 00:49:30,400
about and then bumping that up. And

1406
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,079
there's no way it's going to affect this

1407
00:49:32,079 --> 00:49:34,240
your budget this year anyway.

1408
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:36,079
>> Watch the numbers and watch them how

1409
00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:38,480
they play out for six or eight months.

1410
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:39,040
And

1411
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,040
>> correct. And plus, we're already part

1412
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:42,720
way we're already a quarter of the way

1413
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:44,000
through the fiscal year.

1414
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,040
>> And the other thing I wanted to

1415
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,800
piggyback on that you're not going to

1416
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:48,079
get to the warrant, but since you're

1417
00:49:48,079 --> 00:49:50,000
sitting here, there is an article in the

1418
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,160
warrant for to set up a revolving

1419
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,200
>> Oh, we did talk about that for peries.

1420
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,359
And all that means is

1421
00:49:57,359 --> 00:49:59,680
>> it makes sense. Everything someone pays

1422
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:00,800
>> goes in, comes out.

1423
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:02,319
>> It's already paid to the person doing

1424
00:50:02,319 --> 00:50:06,240
the permit fees and the inspections, but what they were doing was collecting

1425
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:07,920
it and then they had to budget it

1426
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,280
because it was never set up as a

1427
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:10,960
revolving fund. So, you were putting

1428
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,000
money on the tax rate as an estimate as

1429
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,240
opposed to just taking it in, sending it

1430
00:50:16,240 --> 00:50:18,000
out. And the town has a whole number of

1431
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,680
revolving fees, revolving. So, this just

1432
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,599
turns this into one of those. So,

1433
00:50:23,599 --> 00:50:24,559
>> yep.

1434
00:50:24,559 --> 00:50:26,480
>> It's an inn-out mechanism.

1435
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,079
>> Good. So, [clears throat] we are like

1436
00:50:28,079 --> 00:50:30,079
chunking just chunking through the rest

1437
00:50:30,079 --> 00:50:33,040
of the transition summary. Um, no new

1438
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,040
updates on that this week. There will be

1439
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,599
at at the next meeting. Um, I'm just

1440
00:50:37,599 --> 00:50:39,119
going to hold this up. Thank you, Becky,

1441
00:50:39,119 --> 00:50:41,359
for putting these together for you

1442
00:50:41,359 --> 00:50:43,359
handed this out to all the firefighters.

1443
00:50:43,359 --> 00:50:45,359
>> They have that. Yeah. And the one page

1444
00:50:45,359 --> 00:50:46,640
that we've had to have correctly

1445

>> Yeah.

1524
00:53:16,559 --> 00:53:19,040

00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:20,240
looked through the notes. There was

1526
00:53:20,240 --> 00:53:22,800

>> Yeah. Yeah.

1538
00:53:40,079 --> 00:53:42,079
>> Yeah. I think we've done it earlier just

1539
00:53:42,079 --> 00:53:44,559
so that people aren't um Some folks are

1540
00:53:44,559 --> 00:53:46,559
a little sensitive to having, you know,

1541
00:53:46,559 --> 00:53:48,079
folks they don't know in their driveway

1542
00:53:48,079 --> 00:53:48,960

1543
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:49,680

00:53:51,599 --> 00:53:53,040
change it to six.

1546
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,680
>> That's what we did for Mike last year.

1547
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,880
>> So 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. work.

Um, and then we do it for two

1550
00:54:02,319 --> 00:54:03,920
weeks. And if you need it for longer

1551
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,640
than that, we can set it up so that

1552
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,319
rather than coming back to us, you can

1553
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:10,480
go back to Becky. As long as there's no

1554
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:15,040
issues, it can be um,

1555
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:16,800

1556
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,160
last year where we set it up for two

1557
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:19,920
weeks and then he came back for another

1558
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,000

00:56:43,839 --> 00:56:44,880
two-stepper.

1625
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:46,160
>> Okay. Thank you.

1626
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:50,480
>> Police then the select board. Okay.

1627
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,040
>> Okay. Okay. So, the next is we have uh a

1628
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,160
conf a conflict of interest disclosure

1629
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,920
from Kevin Seaman who's on the emergency

1630
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:03,440
services u facility/building committee.

1631
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,440
>> Right. This is recommended by the state

1632
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:06,400
because he's the

1633
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,839
>> he checked in with the neighbor for the

1634
00:57:09,839 --> 00:57:10,799
project.

1635
00:57:10,799 --> 00:57:13,440
>> Yeah. which is exactly why we thought

1636
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:14,720
he'd be a great addition to the

1637
00:57:14,720 --> 00:57:15,760
community. [laughter] It doesn't

1638
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,359
apparently bother the town, but they

1639
00:57:17,359 --> 00:57:20,240
thought just for the sake of

1640
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:21,040
>> disclosure

1641
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,000
>> visual that he should go ahead and just

1642
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,000
say, "Hey, I live next door,"

1643
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,160
>> which we kind of all did, but

1644
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,319
>> we all know and we all support. I don't

1645
00:57:30,319 --> 00:57:32,400
think there's any, right? There's I

1646
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,960
mean, we all knew that. So, Shane and

1647
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:38,880
Dan are on the committee. Um it came

1648
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:43,200
about because not the disclosure but um

1649
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,839
once the house burned down then um Kevin

1650
00:57:45,839 --> 00:57:48,880
introduced himself um to our EMS chief

1651
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,799
and then

1652
00:57:50,799 --> 00:57:52,640
being the

1653
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,640

>> right and I know people in town have

1658
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:01,440
always been concerned about what do the

1659
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,119
neighbors think? Well we put one on the

1660
00:58:03,119 --> 00:58:06,400
committee. Okay. So, what kind of we

1661
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,079
actually need to do a motion to this

1662
00:58:08,079 --> 00:58:09,359
effect then? Correct.

1663
00:58:09,359 --> 00:58:10,640
>> Okay.

1664
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:14,640

>> appointing authority

1670
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,720
>> determination. We reviewed the we've

1671
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,040

1672
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,760
>> and financial interest identified above

1673
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:31,520
by the municipal employee.

1674
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,520
>> Yep. We have determined that the

1675
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:35,520
financial interest is not so substantial

1676
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,680
as to be deemed likely to affect the

1677
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,839
integrity of the services which do the

1678
00:58:39,839 --> 00:58:42,480
municip municipality may expect from the

1679
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,880

>> Thank you.

1681
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,119
>> That's what that's what it reads.

1682
00:58:47,119 --> 00:58:51,760
>> Okay. So, the motion to have me sign

1683
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:54,400
uh Kevin Seaman's municipal employee

1684
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:55,839

help. Pass it all. Pass it over. I'll

1695
00:59:24,559 --> 00:59:30,069
put it all back in here.

1696
00:59:30,079 --> 00:59:31,920
All right. Nothing like a little bit of

1697
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,480
paperwork to get the creative juices

1698
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:35,280
flowing.

1699
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,359

>> Second.

1716
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:17,839
>> All those in favor?

1717
01:00:17,839 --> 01:00:20,559
>> I I

1718

>> Okay, now we're on to the minutes.

1719
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,760
>> Okay. I motion that we approve the uh

1720
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:30,160
amended minutes from 8:31 2026.

1721
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,040
>> Uh is there a second on that? I do have

01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:38,470

» Correction on the amendment.

01:00:39,359 --> 01:00:40,799
>> A correction on the amendment or the

1726
01:00:40,799 --> 01:00:42,000

01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,640
>> The amended. Well, there's my amend.

1728
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:46,000
>> I think you were going to discuss them.

1729
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,400
>> We're going to discuss them because the

1730
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,119
um I submitted something and Shane

1731
01:00:51,119 --> 01:00:52,400
submitted something. So,

1732
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,559
>> so two different amendments.

1733
01:00:54,559 --> 01:00:55,520
>> Is that what I'm hearing?

1734
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,079
>> I think you should just vote to approve

1735
01:00:58,079 --> 01:01:00,319
the minutes then have the amendment

1736
01:01:00,319 --> 01:01:02,480
discussions and then you can move it as

1737
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,400
amended

1738
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:05,760
because you don't have the amendment in

1739
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:06,640
front of you to vote.

1740
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:08,960
>> No.

1741
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,680
>> Okay. So, just why don't we just discuss

1742
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,079
the amendments and then we can do uh as

1743
01:01:14,079 --> 01:01:14,880
amended.

1744
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,440
>> Yeah. Or better yet, let's do the other

1745
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,040
two minutes first and come back to that.

1746
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:21,680
How about that? pull out your notes

1747
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,280
while we're doing that. All right. So,

1748
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,599
the joint emergency services facility

1749
01:01:25,599 --> 01:01:28,480
committ uh committee uh with the select

1750
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,680
board from September 1st, 2026.

1751
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:33,680
>> So, move second.

1752
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:35,119
>> All those in favor?

1753
01:01:35,119 --> 01:01:38,390
>> I

1754
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,359
from David McCarthy. Okay. And how about

1755
01:01:41,359 --> 01:01:43,920
the September 15th, 2026 meeting

1756
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:46,319
minutes?

1757
01:01:46,319 --> 01:01:49,680
>> Approval of so moved. Second.

1758
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:51,200
>> All those in favor?

1759
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,960
>> I Okay. All right. Now, back to 8:31. I

1760
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:57,040
just want to make sure we're

1761
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:58,640
>> what we're voting on for an amendment

1762
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,960
before we

1763
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:02,799
>> I'm hoping this is a short discussion,

1764
01:02:02,799 --> 01:02:05,920
but let's just double check, shall we?

1765
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,880
Okay.

1766
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,200
So,

1767
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:15,440
Shane, you added a few things on here. I

1768
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:19,599
think they're fine. The only thing was

1769
01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:24,640
um it was 2500 was the number um not

1770
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,640
3500

1771
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,359
and um we don't do the town election on

1772
01:02:29,359 --> 01:02:31,599
May 27th. I think we just said the May

1773
01:02:31,599 --> 01:02:33,280
town election. So

1774
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:36,240
>> May May 20 Well, May of 27.

1775
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,119
>> May of May 2027.

1776
01:02:39,119 --> 01:02:40,079
>> May of the year 27.

1777
01:02:40,079 --> 01:02:40,960
>> May of the year.

1778
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:42,480
>> May

1779
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:43,680
not May 27.

1780
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,480
>> Oh, okay. Got it. Oh, okay. Okay. All

1781
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:47,040
right.

1782
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:48,960
>> And I thought it was $3,500 and then we

1783
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,520
had an additional was going to be the

1784
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,599
mailings

1785
01:02:53,599 --> 01:02:55,760
because we were already past the point

1786
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,240
of being able to elect out of doing

1787
01:02:58,240 --> 01:02:58,640
post.

1788
01:02:58,640 --> 01:02:59,839
>> Yeah. No, we know the whole we're just

1789
01:02:59,839 --> 01:03:02,240
discussing the edit and the the notes

1790
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,720
that Becky had was 2500 and she double

1791
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:06,559
checked those with Amanda. Yeah. So,

1792
01:03:06,559 --> 01:03:09,440
it's might have been like

1793
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,160
with the postage thrown in, but if we

1794
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:15,680
could just put correct that then I think

1795
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,640
we could just incorporate both of them.

1796
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:19,520
>> I'm okay with that.

1797
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:20,960
>> Is that okay?

1798
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,039
>> Okay. And it's May 2027. Sorry about

1799
01:03:23,039 --> 01:03:24,640
that. That's the way I just read it.

1800
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,039
Okay. Is that good with you guys?

1801
01:03:27,039 --> 01:03:27,520
>> Mhm.

1802
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:27,760
>> Okay.

1803
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:28,319
>> Yep.

1804
01:03:28,319 --> 01:03:29,760
>> All right.

1805
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,160
Um, I'll entertain a motion to approve

1806
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:36,880
the August 31st, 2026 minutes as amended

1807
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:40,240
with the two sets of edits.

1808
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:41,200
>> So moved.

1809
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:41,920
>> Thank you.

1810
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:42,559
>> Second.

1811
01:03:42,559 --> 01:03:43,920
>> All those in favor?

1812
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:48,079
>> I thank you. Okay. Select board

1813
01:03:48,079 --> 01:03:48,880
policies.

1814
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:50,319
>> Just brought you two this evening

1815
01:03:50,319 --> 01:03:51,760
because they require a little

1816
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,599
discussion. So slowed it down to to two.

1817
01:03:55,599 --> 01:03:56,880
Um,

1818
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,039
>> well, I already did like 15, so

1819
01:03:59,039 --> 01:04:00,319
>> yeah. Yeah, there's a few more, but

1820
01:04:00,319 --> 01:04:02,640
they're we're just doing these a little

1821
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:04,160
slower because we're going to chunk more

1822
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,960
amended. More amended. So, starting with

1823
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:08,960
the classification creation or review

1824
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:12,240
policy. It used to say position review,

1825
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:15,039
but we kind of made it a little clearer

1826
01:04:15,039 --> 01:04:16,720
because sometimes now it's a creation

1827
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:18,319
for a new position. We want not just

1828
01:04:18,319 --> 01:04:19,680
review them. We want what's the process

1829
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,200
if someone asks for a position.

1830
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,559
>> Yep. So, this is editing of a previous

1831
01:04:24,559 --> 01:04:27,440
process. Um, it's slightly different now

1832
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,839
because we've added the form and

1833
01:04:29,839 --> 01:04:31,039
expanded the role. We want to make sure

1834
01:04:31,039 --> 01:04:34,240
the department heads involved. Um, but

1835
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:36,720
it really codifies what we've been doing

1836
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:40,000
for the last couple of years. Um, and

1837
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,559
incorporates the new request form into

1838
01:04:42,559 --> 01:04:45,520
the policy so that it's it's clear and

1839
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:49,200
who's involved in the process. So, I

1840
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:50,480
don't know if anyone had any questions.

1841
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,559
We've used it a couple of times now. So,

1842
01:04:52,559 --> 01:04:54,559
if someone wants to review their own

1843
01:04:54,559 --> 01:04:56,799
position or if a department head wants

1844
01:04:56,799 --> 01:04:58,079
you to review the position of one of

1845
01:04:58,079 --> 01:04:59,520
their employees,

1846
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:01,200
>> then they go through the process of

1847
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:04,480
filling the form out. Um, which then it

1848
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,440
initiates the review. Um, and we've done

1849
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,200
it a couple times and basically it

1850
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,440
brings together the department head, the

1851
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,319
town administrator, uh, a member of the,

1852
01:05:14,319 --> 01:05:17,359
um, finance committee and select board

1853
01:05:17,359 --> 01:05:20,240
to at least do the initial review. So

1854
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:22,559
they can ask any questions, discuss.

1855
01:05:22,559 --> 01:05:23,920
This is also the same if someone says,

1856
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:25,839
"Hey, I want a new position." We have

1857
01:05:25,839 --> 01:05:27,680
them submit the form. Then you can look

1858
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,440
at what's the cost impact, what does

1859
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,000
this mean long term? Um why do we want

1860
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,559
this? Have you, you know, filled out um

1861
01:05:34,559 --> 01:05:36,720
all the reasons? Um is is is this a

1862
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,480
change in grade and step?

1863
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:39,920
>> You know, usually if you're asking for a

1864
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:41,599
change, it means are you asking to just

1865
01:05:41,599 --> 01:05:43,599
go up a step or are you asking for a

1866
01:05:43,599 --> 01:05:45,359
whole reclassification?

1867
01:05:45,359 --> 01:05:47,039
If that's the case, then we we bring

1868
01:05:47,039 --> 01:05:48,559
together the whole reclassification

1869
01:05:48,559 --> 01:05:50,240
committee and we say, "Well, what's

1870
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,240
changed?" And that bumps us back to the

1871
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:54,079
job description. So, we try to follow

1872
01:05:54,079 --> 01:05:57,039
the same process for every single um

1873
01:05:57,039 --> 01:05:59,280
request, but it starts with the new form

1874
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,319
and we wanted to get that into

1875
01:06:02,319 --> 01:06:06,000
the um into the into the policy.

1876
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,839
>> Questions from the board?

1877
01:06:07,839 --> 01:06:09,680
>> No, I'm good. We've actually been It's

1878
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,119
always nice when you've followed the

1879
01:06:11,119 --> 01:06:14,000
policy changes before they get to

1880
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:15,440
>> know how they work and I think it just

1881
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,640
gives us more um input from various

1882
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,720
bodies including finance including the

1883
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,039
department and it gives us a written

1884
01:06:23,039 --> 01:06:26,079
trail to talk to follow who's requesting

1885
01:06:26,079 --> 01:06:28,160
what and what work is being requested

1886
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,280
whole classification or just a bump in a

1887
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,920
>> in a in a step. Um, and we have some

1888
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:35,760
documentation. We can give it to the

1889
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:37,599
financial people and we can make sure it

1890
01:06:37,599 --> 01:06:40,000
goes in someone's file. Couple times

1891
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:41,839
we've caught that people's things have

1892
01:06:41,839 --> 01:06:43,039
been changed over the years, but there's

1893
01:06:43,039 --> 01:06:44,559
no documentation, so we don't know what

1894
01:06:44,559 --> 01:06:46,240
happened. But we're trying, we've got

1895
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:47,760
everybody on a step in grade now, and

1896
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:50,240
we'd like to keep the process clear and

1897
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,510
followable.

1898
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:55,039
» Okay. Next,

1899
01:06:55,039 --> 01:06:56,400
>> and this was reviewed with the

1900
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,480
department heads, too. I mean, I know a

1901
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:00,000
number of them have been through this.

1902
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,119
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

1903
01:07:01,119 --> 01:07:02,240
>> With the department heads. And then

1904
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:04,160
Becky just put a note, thank you Becky,

1905
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:08,079
that the the at the top of it says that

1906
01:07:08,079 --> 01:07:10,000
where it says position and review those

1907
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:11,760
typos were are corrected in the

1908
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:14,000
electronic document.

1909
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,319
Okay, I'll entertain a if there's

1910
01:07:16,319 --> 01:07:18,480
nothing any other I'm just looking.

1911
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:21,359
Okay. Um I'll entertain a motion to

1912
01:07:21,359 --> 01:07:24,640
approve the position classification

1913
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:28,880
creation andor review policy effective

1914
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,359
today.

1915
01:07:31,359 --> 01:07:33,440
So move second.

1916
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:34,559
>> All those in favor?

1917
01:07:34,559 --> 01:07:36,160
>> I I

1918
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:37,920
>> Thank you.

1919
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:39,839
>> And then the only other one for tonight

1920
01:07:39,839 --> 01:07:42,160
would be the grant authorization policy.

1921
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:43,119
>> Yeah, that made sense.

1922
01:07:43,119 --> 01:07:45,119
>> Well, as you can see, it was from many

1923
01:07:45,119 --> 01:07:47,200
years ago. Started in 2007, then it went

1924
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:51,839
to 2011. Well, in the past 15 years, how

1925
01:07:51,839 --> 01:07:53,520
we use grants, how we apply for grants,

1926
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,039
who's applying for grants, the size of

1927
01:07:55,039 --> 01:08:00,240
grants, that has all changed. Um, so now

1928
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:02,640
there's we there were fewer and much

1929
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,480
generally higher grants back then. Now

1930
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,000
we're applying for small grants all the

1931
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:10,000
time within a department. Um, so

1932
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,079
>> written as and was also written when

1933
01:08:12,079 --> 01:08:13,280
there was no town administrator

1934
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:14,880
position. So everything went from a

1935
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:16,640
department head directly to the select

1936
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,440
board. So now I don't think you really

1937
01:08:19,440 --> 01:08:22,640
want to see every $3,000 $4,000 grant

1938
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,759
bringing people in for that um that

1939
01:08:25,759 --> 01:08:27,759
process to to go through the select

1940
01:08:27,759 --> 01:08:30,480
board uh because it can hold up applying

1941
01:08:30,480 --> 01:08:32,799
for grants when the deadlines are due. A

1942
01:08:32,799 --> 01:08:34,080
lot of grants are there are a lot of

1943
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,799
small grants. Obviously any work done by

1944
01:08:36,799 --> 01:08:38,560
a department that would require any kind

1945
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:41,040
of financial or appropriated funds or

1946
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:43,120
matching funds usually goes has to go

1947
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:44,960
through finan board anyway because you

1948
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:46,000
have to find out where's the funding

1949
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,159
coming from. That makes sense. That's

1950
01:08:48,159 --> 01:08:50,719
not really kind of that that part of the

1951
01:08:50,719 --> 01:08:52,159
process would still continue because

1952
01:08:52,159 --> 01:08:52,560
some

1953
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:54,319
>> Right. And you've got that covered in

1954
01:08:54,319 --> 01:08:55,199
step one,

1955
01:08:55,199 --> 01:08:56,400
>> right?

1956
01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:59,600
>> So, um any other um

1957
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:01,839
>> No, look good to me. That's what I

1958
01:09:01,839 --> 01:09:03,359
thought. That's fine.

1959
01:09:03,359 --> 01:09:05,199
>> I don't want to like slow down a small

1960
01:09:05,199 --> 01:09:07,120
grant by having to schedule it with the

1961
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,600
select board, especially if it's for

1962
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,159
another board that's elected and they're

1963
01:09:12,159 --> 01:09:13,920
kind of within their own. There's a lot

1964
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:17,120
of sewer ones now as well like we like

1965
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:18,640
we get from the for the council on

1966
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,920
aging. I mean that's an annual

1967
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:23,440
>> grant they have to fill out. We have to

1968
01:09:23,440 --> 01:09:25,920
fill it all out but it's annual. I mean

1969
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:26,319
it's

1970
01:09:26,319 --> 01:09:28,080
>> right and I went back and I looked

1971
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,960
through the the minutes. We periodically

1972
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:33,600
do an entire grant update anyway on all

1973
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:35,679
the ones that have been awarded.

1974
01:09:35,679 --> 01:09:38,960
>> So um I'm fine with this. I don't want

1975
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:40,080
to speak for the whole board, but

1976
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:41,279
>> No, she's actually been doing some of

1977
01:09:41,279 --> 01:09:42,480
this, too, because she's bringing

1978
01:09:42,480 --> 01:09:44,560
grants, tell us what the grants are. So,

1979
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:45,839
been happening pretty much.

1980
01:09:45,839 --> 01:09:47,520
>> There's peaks when they're all due in

1981
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,920
the spring and some then we get awards.

1982
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:51,600
So, they it seems to go up and down on

1983
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:52,560
where we are.

1984
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:54,400
>> Okay, we got another one.

1985
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:55,520
>> Oh, want made a motion?

1986
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:56,480
>> Yeah, go up. Great.

1987
01:09:56,480 --> 01:09:59,120
>> Motion to accept the grant authorization

1988
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:00,480
policy.

1989
01:10:00,480 --> 01:10:01,600
>> So moved.

1990
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:02,320
>> Second.

1991
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:04,159
>> All those in favor? I

1992
01:10:04,159 --> 01:10:06,080
>> I speak up later.

1993
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:08,320
>> Wow. Two more done.

1994
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,040
So, thank you to Becky and Andrea. We're

1995
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,280
rolling right through our policy

1996
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:15,679
updates. Cool.

1997
01:10:15,679 --> 01:10:17,840
>> Okay, let's talk about potential

1998
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:19,600
Falltown meeting warrant articles.

1999
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,679
Something more scintillating.

2000
01:10:21,679 --> 01:10:24,400
So, I gave you a copy of a draft. It's

2001
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,400
very rough draft because technically I'm

2002
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,159
still expecting a possible couple of

2003
01:10:28,159 --> 01:10:29,679
more tomorrow from Sue. That's why

2004
01:10:29,679 --> 01:10:31,600
there's blanks here and there. And

2005
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,440
>> uh and these aren't necessarily in any

2006
01:10:33,440 --> 01:10:34,640
particular order.

2007
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:36,640
>> Yeah. Um, right now I've just put

2008
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:38,640
everything in every including the

2009
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,560
kitchen sink. You don't even have to

2010
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:41,440
include all of these,

2011
01:10:41,440 --> 01:10:42,960
>> including the lawnmower,

2012
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,360
>> right? But, um, but basically everything

2013
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,199
that is sort of out there. Um, and we

2014
01:10:47,199 --> 01:10:48,480
can go through obviously the EMS

2015
01:10:48,480 --> 01:10:50,159
building is one. I don't know that it

2016
01:10:50,159 --> 01:10:51,520
will be your first warrant article. You

2017
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:52,800
may choose to put it somewhere else, but

2018
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:54,560
I just plugged it first.

2019
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,880
>> But this is this is the first draft,

2020
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:58,239
>> correct? Absolutely. None of

2021
01:10:58,239 --> 01:10:59,440
>> We don't have to vote on it. This is

2022
01:10:59,440 --> 01:11:00,080
just for us.

2023
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,000
>> Oh gosh. No. Oh gosh. Actually, they

2024
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:03,840
close tomorrow. I'm still expecting a

2025
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,239
couple from sewer tomorrow. So, this is

2026
01:11:06,239 --> 01:11:10,080
just kind of so you guys can kind of see where we're at. I mean, there's 13.

2027
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:11,360
That doesn't mean, like I said, that you

2028
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:12,880
have to do every one of these at the

2029
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:14,880
fall time meeting. I just wanted you to

2030
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:16,080
see what's out there, whether you're

2031
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,159
going to push things off, and if you do,

2032
01:11:18,159 --> 01:11:20,480
what makes sense or why you would,

2033
01:11:20,480 --> 01:11:22,239
>> but um and again, they're in no

2034
01:11:22,239 --> 01:11:24,239
particular order at this time. They're

2035
01:11:24,239 --> 01:11:26,800
just sort of placed. Um the first one,

2036
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:28,239
obviously, the EMS building. We don't

2037
01:11:28,239 --> 01:11:32,159
have any language in yet as to that. It would be discussed. It's a

2038
01:11:32,159 --> 01:11:33,600
placeholder.

2039
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,320
>> Uh number two, um we've been working a

2040
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:38,080
little bit on these town properties of

2041
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:42,640
which we've had dozens and um picked

2042
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:46,000
away at a few last time to put them in

2043
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,719
um article 93 conservation. So that's

2044
01:11:48,719 --> 01:11:51,600
all taken care of. So um we've been

2045
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:53,120
looking at a few that the that there's

2046
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,679
no problems with the title that the town

2047
01:11:55,679 --> 01:11:58,800
could move forward with. Three of these

2048
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,199
are very very tiny.

2049
01:12:01,199 --> 01:12:04,239
little little lots. Um

2050
01:12:04,239 --> 01:12:05,920
>> are they next to each other? They could

2051
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:06,560
be grouped up.

2052
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:08,560
>> No, no, no. You got you got Burnham

2053
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:11,840
Road, Skill Center Road, Cross Road, and

2054
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:13,440
Four Mile Brook Road. So, none of them

2055
01:12:13,440 --> 01:12:16,480
are, but one of them is, you know, 0.06.

2056
01:12:16,480 --> 01:12:17,440
I mean,

2057
01:12:17,440 --> 01:12:19,040
>> now the reason to release them to the

2058
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:20,560
Karen Cussy, the select board, is

2059
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,400
because the select board can then

2060
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:24,000
determine what to do with them. Treasure

2061
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,719
just sits on them. She can't conserve

2062
01:12:26,719 --> 01:12:28,960
them. She can't sell them to an ab

2063
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,600
butter. she can't do anything with them.

2064
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,600
Um, but the select board are the only

2065
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:35,280
ones that can do anything with town

2066
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:38,000
property. So, by getting them moved to

2067
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:39,920
the select board, each one of these

2068
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,239
could be dealt with potentially in an

2069
01:12:42,239 --> 01:12:44,000
appropriate manner. These are just the

2070
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:45,920
ones that were deed to the town or have

2071
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:48,719
a clear uh title. These four on the

2072
01:12:48,719 --> 01:12:49,280
next.

2073
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:49,600
>> Okay.

2074
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:50,719
>> And we can discuss them each

2075
01:12:50,719 --> 01:12:52,320
individually at a future meeting. I just

2076
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:53,679
wanted to put them on there.

2077
01:12:53,679 --> 01:12:54,320
>> Mhm.

2078
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,880
>> Because we keep putting them off and I'd

2079
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:58,880
love to see some of this stuff go back

2080
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:02,080
on the tax role um rather than sit for

2081
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:03,280
decades.

2082
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:05,840
>> Well, we did a successful chunk of these

2083
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:08,159
last year that were related.

2084
01:13:08,159 --> 01:13:10,560
>> Um

2085
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:12,320
I don't know if anyone had a chance to

2086
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:17,440
take a look at the handout. Oh, I'm sure sure you guys looked at it, but

2087
01:13:17,440 --> 01:13:20,800
the um the ones that were highlighted,

2088
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:22,960
three out of those are less than an

2089
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:24,960
acre.

2090
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:27,360
0063

2091
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:29,920
69. And then there's one property on

2092
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:32,960
four four mile brook that's over 7 acres

2093
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:36,080
that could be sold. So, it doesn't one

2094
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:38,239
of these things is not like the others.

2095
01:13:38,239 --> 01:13:42,239
So, three are very small parcels that

2096
01:13:42,239 --> 01:13:43,840
perhaps a neighbor would be.

2097
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,159
>> That's often what happens. Or in the one

2098
01:13:46,159 --> 01:13:49,040
case, the Gil Center Road one. Um,

2099
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:49,600
>> yeah,

2100
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:52,320
>> that's really should be uh combined with

2101
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,400
the cemetery that the town owns next to

2102
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:56,320
it. It's one that literally goes down

2103
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:59,280
the hill. Like it says 63, but it's it's

2104
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:00,159
literally

2105
01:14:00,159 --> 01:14:02,080
>> that's the piece that's on the corner of

2106
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:02,880
the very corner

2107
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:04,400
>> the main road in Route 10.

2108
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:05,600
>> And then right next to it is the

2109
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:07,920
cemetery which the 10. So the point is

2110
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:09,840
if the select board got it into their

2111
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:11,360
care and custody, you could then we

2112
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:12,960
could then just do an ANR and put the

2113
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:14,719
pieces together and make it essentially

2114
01:14:14,719 --> 01:14:16,080
part of the cemetery. Okay.

2115
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:17,600
>> Rather than have it hanging out there

2116
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:19,360
>> and a cemetery we actually own too,

2117
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:19,679
right?

2118
01:14:19,679 --> 01:14:22,159
>> Yes. Yes. That's why we put together

2119
01:14:22,159 --> 01:14:24,320
>> but make it could be used as a cemetery

2120
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:25,440
or is it not?

2121
01:14:25,440 --> 01:14:27,199
>> I don't I haven't walked it enough to

2122
01:14:27,199 --> 01:14:29,440
see whether you could Well, a little bit

2123
01:14:29,440 --> 01:14:31,440
of land and then drops. So there might

2124
01:14:31,440 --> 01:14:33,120
potentially be some room there. I don't

2125
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:34,719
know. I didn't I haven't walked it. I

2126
01:14:34,719 --> 01:14:36,480
mean it's something you could explore

2127
01:14:36,480 --> 01:14:38,560
it. It is and but the idea is to put it

2128
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:40,400
together call it part of the cemetery

2129
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:41,679
and then it's

2130
01:14:41,679 --> 01:14:42,320
>> preserved

2131
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:43,920
>> and then it's off the rolls.

2132
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:45,360
>> Correct. And we can say it's been it's

2133
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:47,120
been taken from the treasurer otherwise

2134
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:48,000
it sits in the treasure.

2135
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:49,840
>> So some of these smaller ones as far as

2136
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:51,199
we know once we take it off maybe a

2137
01:14:51,199 --> 01:14:54,880
letter sent out to an audience

2138
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:56,719
what happens you know give you first

2139
01:14:56,719 --> 01:14:58,480
write a refusal or something like that.

2140
01:14:58,480 --> 01:14:59,840
you can just reach out and say, "Are you

2141
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:01,440
interested in this property?" And and

2142
01:15:01,440 --> 01:15:03,520
sometimes the butter just will add it as

2143
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:04,000
a

2144
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:05,360
>> because really it's not a building.

2145
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:06,560
Nobody could actually build on it

2146
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:07,760
because they're less than one.

2147
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:09,600
>> They're small. They're nonbuildable.

2148
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:12,000
>> Okay. Except that one acre one

2149
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,560
>> except for that one, right? But they've

2150
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,440
been sitting on this one for

2151
01:15:17,440 --> 01:15:20,239
>> So just so uh Shane's familiar,

2152
01:15:20,239 --> 01:15:23,520
>> years. These we started on these last

2153
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:26,159
year because they had been sitting on

2154
01:15:26,159 --> 01:15:28,960
the books for like a couple of decades.

2155
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:31,120
>> I think we attempted to take care of all

2156
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:33,679
of them a couple of years ago or maybe

2157
01:15:33,679 --> 01:15:35,679
half of them and there was a lot of push

2158
01:15:35,679 --> 01:15:38,320
back from people about

2159
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:39,857
having to turn them over to the

2160
01:15:39,857 --> 01:15:40,480
[laughter] select.

2161
01:15:40,480 --> 01:15:42,080
>> So that's why we did small we're doing

2162
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:43,679
>> so then we're doing smaller chunks that

2163
01:15:43,679 --> 01:15:45,440
are easier to explain and then people

2164
01:15:45,440 --> 01:15:48,719
are like oh okay I get it. So, um, we

2165
01:15:48,719 --> 01:15:50,960
had our first successful chunk at last

2166
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:53,920
year's, um, town meeting. So, that's

2167
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:55,360
why. So, now we're just kind of looking

2168
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,239
at the next chunk and it's really the

2169
01:15:58,239 --> 01:15:59,920
what I'm calling like the itty bitty

2170
01:15:59,920 --> 01:16:01,760
properties and then the um,

2171
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:04,000
>> or very clear title that the town has.

2172
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:05,920
Some of them have some other

2173
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:06,880
>> title issues

2174
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:09,040
>> issues that we have to clear up.

2175
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:10,719
>> Yeah.

2176
01:16:10,719 --> 01:16:12,880
Um, any other thoughts on that? Do you

2177
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,040
guys want to see that on the fall town

2178
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:17,199
meeting? Do you feel that's a reasonable

2179
01:16:17,199 --> 01:16:18,640
explanation?

2180
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:19,120
>> Sure.

2181
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,040
>> Long as it's small.

2182
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:22,400
>> Well, you have one that would be a

2183
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:23,360
building lot,

2184
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:25,199
>> the 7 acre one,

2185
01:16:25,199 --> 01:16:25,760
>> right?

2186
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:27,360
>> Do you guys want to do that in the fall

2187
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:29,040
or do you want to do that one separately

2188
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:29,440
in

2189
01:16:29,440 --> 01:16:31,600
>> It's nice to move them so that they get

2190
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:32,719
back on the tax.

2191
01:16:32,719 --> 01:16:34,239
>> I would have that one off because that's

2192
01:16:34,239 --> 01:16:36,320
a sellable piece of property. I would

2193
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:38,800
lump the other ones together cuz

2194
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:39,360
>> it's

2195
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:40,480
>> they're not buildable,

2196
01:16:40,480 --> 01:16:41,760
>> right?

2197
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:43,840
>> That's just my spin. Yeah,

2198
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:45,760
>> I think we have to do them individually,

2199
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:46,480
don't we?

2200
01:16:46,480 --> 01:16:48,239
>> No, they go one article.

2201
01:16:48,239 --> 01:16:49,920
>> Oh, in one article. Yeah. Then the

2202
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:51,280
seventh one.

2203
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:52,560
>> Oh, yeah. Well, they're going to be done

2204
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:54,320
differently in your in your ultimate

2205
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:56,800
disposition. Yes. You would decide.

2206
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:58,800
>> All that does is a release to be able to

2207
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:00,000
do something

2208
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:01,600
>> because right now nobody can do anything

2209
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:03,280
with it. The treasurer just sits on it.

2210
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:04,000
The select.

2211
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:05,520
>> How many others do we have beside that?

2212
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:08,719
Are there quite more?

2213
01:17:08,719 --> 01:17:10,480
Well, but some of these are are not

2214
01:17:10,480 --> 01:17:12,159
going to some of them we can't actually

2215
01:17:12,159 --> 01:17:13,840
I don't think you'll ever discover them.

2216
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:15,600
Some of them it turns out we don't

2217
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:17,280
actually know who owns them and so

2218
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:19,280
they've been lumped into the town's care

2219
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,199
into the town's file.

2220
01:17:21,199 --> 01:17:22,800
>> But some of these but they're tiny

2221
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,440
little parcels on the ridge.17 owner

2222
01:17:25,440 --> 01:17:27,600
unknown.17

2223
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:29,040
owner unknown.

2224
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:30,560
>> I don't think the town will ever be able

2225
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:32,320
to do anything with those

2226
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,000
>> except if there if there's a neighboring

2227
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:35,040
not

2228
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:36,480
>> you can't transfer them if you don't own

2229
01:17:36,480 --> 01:17:37,679
clear town. That's true.

2230
01:17:37,679 --> 01:17:39,440
>> Can you take them by eminent domain? Is

2231
01:17:39,440 --> 01:17:39,679
that

2232
01:17:39,679 --> 01:17:40,560
>> you could Okay.

2233
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:44,000
>> You could and the problem with that so

2234
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:45,920
that they could then go to an abuter who

2235
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:46,239
might be in

2236
01:17:46,239 --> 01:17:48,560
>> correct. That's the only way we could to

2237
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:50,400
me would be put them together and talk

2238
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:51,120
about that.

2239
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:52,560
>> That's a whole another chunk.

2240
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:52,960
>> Correct.

2241
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:53,360
>> Okay.

2242
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:54,239
>> Next year.

2243
01:17:54,239 --> 01:17:59,040
>> Okay. So, what's the consensus so far on this warrant one that we do the itty

2244
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:01,760
bitty chunk and then um do the seven

2245
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:05,440
acre one in the annual or you want to

2246
01:18:05,440 --> 01:18:07,040
>> I would do it all at once. And again,

2247
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:08,640
disposition all this does is takes them

2248
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,040
out of there and allows you but I also

2249
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:14,640
know what the um the push back has been

2250
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:14,960
to

2251
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:16,000
>> what's the push back?

2252
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,800
>> Oh, on the seven one you can put it up

2253
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:19,679
for auction.

2254
01:18:19,679 --> 01:18:20,480
>> Yes.

2255
01:18:20,480 --> 01:18:22,400
>> And then if they want it, they can bid

2256
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:23,199
on it.

2257
01:18:23,199 --> 01:18:24,320
>> Okay. So, do you

2258
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:25,440
>> They don't bid, they can keep their

2259
01:18:25,440 --> 01:18:26,000
mouth shut.

2260
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,080
>> I'm just Okay.

2261
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:31,360
>> Well, okay. So, you guys, let me do it

2262
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,760
this way. Are you in favor of putting

2263
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:36,880
all four together in one um warrant

2264
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:38,320
article?

2265
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:38,800
>> Yeah.

2266
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:40,880
>> Well, let's if you want to just so that

2267
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:42,800
we get the three through and then put

2268
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:44,400
the other one separate

2269
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:46,239
>> as a separate article.

2270
01:18:46,239 --> 01:18:48,239
>> It does the same thing.

2271
01:18:48,239 --> 01:18:50,000
>> I know it does the same thing. I'm just

2272
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,239
thinking that Yeah. Again, the

2273
01:18:52,239 --> 01:18:54,480
disposition as far as doing that uh

2274
01:18:54,480 --> 01:18:56,080
would be now that we can do something

2275
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:57,920
with it. If you decide that the other

2276
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,080
ones, the first the small ones that are

2277
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:01,600
not buildable,

2278
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,120
>> you would offer them maybe to the

2279
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:04,400
neighbor or

2280
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:05,440
>> Yeah. So,

2281
01:19:05,440 --> 01:19:07,920
>> and then this this the seven acre one,

2282
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:09,120
you got to make sure it's a building

2283
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:10,080
lot. I would say

2284
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:11,120
>> it's a building lot.

2285
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,360
>> Okay. So, and then you have the town

2286
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:14,880
auction that off.

2287
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:16,960
>> Yes. I'm just talking about the warrant

2288
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:20,159
article itself transferring the care and

2289
01:19:20,159 --> 01:19:22,320
custody from the treasurer to the select

2290
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:24,320
board

2291
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:25,840
>> because

2292
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,560
so when David said what do you say cav

2293
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:30,080
off the um the

2294
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:32,800
>> offer what do you mean by the cving out

2295
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:36,400
>> make that its own thing in in the autumn

2296
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:37,679
>> in a separate article?

2297
01:19:37,679 --> 01:19:40,239
>> Yep. Because I just my impression is

2298
01:19:40,239 --> 01:19:41,120
someone in town is going to be like,

2299
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:42,080
"Wait, you're trying to lump all these

2300
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:43,440
small ones with this big one and it's

2301
01:19:43,440 --> 01:19:46,159
going to create a

2302
01:19:46,159 --> 01:19:46,800
perception.

2303
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:47,920
>> We got three tiny pieces."

2304
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:50,239
>> I'm with David on that one.

2305
01:19:50,239 --> 01:19:51,679
>> You single it out.

2306
01:19:51,679 --> 01:19:54,400
>> So perception you had to Okay.

2307
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:55,920
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's Sorry, I wasn't

2308
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:59,040
clear on that. David just do it that way

2309
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:00,719
>> because otherwise you have all this

2310
01:20:00,719 --> 01:20:02,800
discussion about three itty bitty things

2311
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,920
and really the the main issue is might

2312
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:07,600
be with the seven acre one. So in

2313
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:09,520
explaining that the first one these are

2314
01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:12,239
small unbuild unbuildable

2315
01:20:12,239 --> 01:20:12,960
partials

2316
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:14,640
>> the itty bitty article and then the next

2317
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:17,120
one will be the seven.

2318
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:18,560
Yeah this is a buildable piece of

2319
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:20,239
property that we'll be looking at

2320
01:20:20,239 --> 01:20:23,120
disposable maybe through auction

2321
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:24,080
>> or I don't even know

2322
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:25,520
>> you have to there's only two ways to

2323
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,280
sell a person piece of property but but

2324
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:28,560
the nice I mean what we're trying to say

2325
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:29,920
is you know people

2326
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,400
>> talk about taxes and revenue and this is

2327
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,080
it's nice to get this revenue into the

2328
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:36,480
town. We're sitting on this for a dozen

2329
01:20:36,480 --> 01:20:37,760
years. have been sitting on this, no

2330
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:39,520
taxes being paid and certainly no one

2331
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:41,280
building a house on it, which is more

2332
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:42,960
taxes. So, we're trying to there's a

2333
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:44,560
ways to do revenue with this getting

2334
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:46,480
even the little bitty ones getting added

2335
01:20:46,480 --> 01:20:48,239
add a small portion of taxes back on the

2336
01:20:48,239 --> 01:20:48,960
tax rate.

2337
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:50,400
>> Okay.

2338
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:51,600
>> I understand what you're saying then,

2339
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:51,920
sir.

2340
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,000
>> Okay, good. Thanks for translating,

2341
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:57,199
David. The um so it's two articles then.

2342
01:20:57,199 --> 01:20:59,040
Anything else on that? You guys good

2343
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:00,080
with that?

2344
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:00,880
>> I'm good with it.

2345
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:04,159
>> Okay, cool. Let's do that.

2346
01:21:04,159 --> 01:21:06,000
uh moratorum

2347
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:07,120
>> article three.

2348
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:08,719
>> And so we're going to this sounds like

2349
01:21:08,719 --> 01:21:10,159
the planning board is going to be

2350
01:21:10,159 --> 01:21:13,520
delivering some language to us on

2351
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:17,120
article 3 4

2352
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:18,239
>> three and four

2353
01:21:18,239 --> 01:21:25,270
>> four five will be taken care of

2354
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:27,920
expenses for the planning board legal

2355
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:31,360
consulting expenses 50,000 more. Have we

2356
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:33,120
got any final?

2357
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:34,400
>> I don't have all the bills yet, but I

2358
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:35,360
>> So that might change.

2359
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:36,239
>> So that might go up.

2360
01:21:36,239 --> 01:21:38,239
>> That's as high as it's going to get.

2361
01:21:38,239 --> 01:21:38,800
Well,

2362
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:40,560
>> that's the worst case scenario.

2363
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:41,840
>> That's what I'm saying right now. But I

2364
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:42,719
think

2365
01:21:42,719 --> 01:21:44,880
>> until I see the bills for the next plus,

2366
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,600
we have another meeting this week, so

2367
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:51,199
we're still expending legal fees, but um

2368
01:21:51,199 --> 01:21:53,199
hoping so the hope is that this is the

2369
01:21:53,199 --> 01:21:54,880
worst case scenario, but that's the

2370
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:57,199
placeholder amount for now.

2371
01:21:57,199 --> 01:22:01,360
>> Okay. And then article six is um we're

2372
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,159
catching up on

2373
01:22:04,159 --> 01:22:07,040
$6725.

2374
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:08,560
They explained how that got

2375
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:09,440
>> Yeah, it was kind of a short

2376
01:22:09,440 --> 01:22:11,679
>> there's a change in hours that didn't

2377
01:22:11,679 --> 01:22:13,600
get translated into the budget sheet

2378
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:15,440
that calculated it. So the rate and the

2379
01:22:15,440 --> 01:22:16,719
person are fine,

2380
01:22:16,719 --> 01:22:18,719
>> but the hours got bumped up and so we

2381
01:22:18,719 --> 01:22:20,480
calculated it at the old hours.

2382
01:22:20,480 --> 01:22:21,040
>> Okay.

2383
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:21,440
>> Mhm.

2384
01:22:21,440 --> 01:22:23,040
>> So that's just to correct that.

2385
01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:26,320
>> Is that for that's for FY27 budget?

2386
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:27,600
>> That's this current year. Yes. Okay. All

2387
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:32,080
right. I have put down six. Okay. Um,

2388
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:34,480
payment in lie of taxes.

2389
01:22:34,480 --> 01:22:37,199
>> So, this article is from the assessor's

2390
01:22:37,199 --> 01:22:38,000
office. Okay.

2391
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:39,920
>> If you'll recall, some of you,

2392
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:41,120
>> maybe none of you because it would have

2393
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:42,239
actually been at the beginning of most

2394
01:22:42,239 --> 01:22:43,360
of your time.

2395
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,520
>> Um, the town used to have a tax

2396
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:48,560
valuation agreement with First Light.

2397
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:48,800
>> Yes.

2398
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:51,280
>> I think it was three years. um as

2399
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:55,040
opposed to what we do now which is hire

2400
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:57,679
a consultant who does a very expensive

2401
01:22:57,679 --> 01:22:59,840
because it's very specialized uh

2402
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:01,679
valuation of first light we have to

2403
01:23:01,679 --> 01:23:05,520
split it with Gil and Irving but it

2404
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:07,360
costs quite a bit of money and then that

2405
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:10,080
valuation comes in the town uses that

2406
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:13,120
valuation to assess the taxes and then

2407
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:16,239
first light appeals so then we hire a

2408
01:23:16,239 --> 01:23:18,400
tax lawyer to go to the appellet tax

2409
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:20,719
board and we spend quite quite a bit of

2410
01:23:20,719 --> 01:23:23,440
money and time at the appellet tax board

2411
01:23:23,440 --> 01:23:24,880
and then the appella tax board comes

2412
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:26,719
down with its decision and this is

2413
01:23:26,719 --> 01:23:29,440
typical somewhere in the middle. They

2414
01:23:29,440 --> 01:23:32,480
don't tend to go either way and then we

2415
01:23:32,480 --> 01:23:34,960
have to in order for them to to appe to

2416
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:36,960
uh file they have to pay. So then we

2417
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:38,639
have to give them back the difference

2418
01:23:38,639 --> 01:23:41,760
plus interest on their money that we've

2419
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,639
been technically holding. So between

2420
01:23:44,639 --> 01:23:46,880
hiring the expensive consultant, hiring

2421
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:49,040
the appellet tax board lawyer and paying

2422
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:51,040
back that money with interest, we've

2423
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:54,480
determined assessors feel that's a very

2424
01:23:54,480 --> 01:24:02,960
expensive route to take year after year. So this is only talking

2425
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:06,320
about how to assess taxes to first

2426
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,960
light. That's it.

2427
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:10,960
So the question is do we continue to do

2428
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:12,400
the same process that we have for the

2429
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:14,880
last couple years or do we consider a

2430
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,520
tax valuation agreement which the town

2431
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,000
has done prior? The assessor's office

2432
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:24,480
feel that it's a that is a much better

2433
01:24:24,480 --> 01:24:27,520
solution um to move forward on the tax

2434
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,480
valuation and it's based on this it's

2435
01:24:30,480 --> 01:24:32,080
based on you know the

2436
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:33,920
>> the history it's based on the fact that

2437
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:35,840
we have had valuations done by the

2438
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:38,000
consultant. They're not making up some

2439
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:39,440
number and it's an agreement. They're

2440
01:24:39,440 --> 01:24:40,639
working it out. They're having

2441
01:24:40,639 --> 01:24:42,159
consultation and we have lawyers

2442
01:24:42,159 --> 01:24:43,840
involved and then we settle on an

2443
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:46,239
agreement for like three years.

2444
01:24:46,239 --> 01:24:48,000
>> I was going to ask you how what

2445
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:48,880
>> I think they're looking at at least

2446
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:50,159
three years

2447
01:24:50,159 --> 01:24:52,000
>> and they're working with Gil and Irving

2448
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:52,560
on this.

2449
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:53,520
>> Oh, okay. Good.

2450
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:55,600
>> Everybody would be

2451
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:56,560
correct. Okay.

2452
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,520
>> So, but in order to accept it,

2453
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:01,280
>> town meeting has to say yes and then the

2454
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:02,960
select board has to sign it.

2455
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:04,639
>> Do the other towns also have to do an

2456
01:25:04,639 --> 01:25:05,600
article too? Yes.

2457
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:07,679
>> Okay.

2458
01:25:07,679 --> 01:25:09,360
>> So anyway, so that's what this article

2459
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:11,600
is. It's from the assessors of

2460
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:13,520
>> do a pilot. Does that mean the other two

2461
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:15,760
towns have to do a pilot as well? It

2462
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:18,320
>> it it's not really Yes. Yeah. They we

2463
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:19,840
would all come to the same agreement.

2464
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:21,760
They'd have their shares. So we'd all

2465
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:24,000
have a three-year agreement to do this.

2466
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:25,760
>> But if Northfield,

2467
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:27,199
>> they could choose to back out. Urban

2468
01:25:27,199 --> 01:25:28,080
could say, "Never mind. We're going to

2469
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:29,760
go the same route." and but we'd have

2470
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:32,080
ours and they would agree to that

2471
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:33,679
Northfield's

2472
01:25:33,679 --> 01:25:35,280
valuation will be this cuz they are

2473
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:36,960
three different valuations. We've just

2474
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:38,239
been sharing the consultant because

2475
01:25:38,239 --> 01:25:40,000
that's the best way and the consultant

2476
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:41,440
does all of them.

2477
01:25:41,440 --> 01:25:43,040
>> So that then [clears throat] once you

2478
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:44,560
have this you would need a consultant or

2479
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:46,480
you negotiate every 3 years.

2480
01:25:46,480 --> 01:25:48,159
>> Every three years you'll renegotiate. So

2481
01:25:48,159 --> 01:25:49,600
yeah, you'd still look at the values.

2482
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:51,120
They'd still be assessing that they'd

2483
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:53,760
still you're not trapped with something

2484
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:56,000
in forever and never it's three years.

2485
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:59,040
So three years is a I would like to see

2486
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:00,719
it five years but three years is kind of

2487
01:26:00,719 --> 01:26:02,080
the way to go.

2488
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:03,760
>> I think there three years has been the

2489
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:05,040
past because you can have huge

2490
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:06,480
fluctuations. What if they all of a

2491
01:26:06,480 --> 01:26:08,080
sudden in the five years within the

2492
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:09,840
after 3 years build some big new piece

2493
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:11,280
of the plant. You'd want to capture

2494
01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:11,840
that.

2495
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:12,480
>> Yeah.

2496
01:26:12,480 --> 01:26:14,239
>> You don't want to go too far out.

2497
01:26:14,239 --> 01:26:15,679
>> So there's got to be a clause someplace

2498
01:26:15,679 --> 01:26:17,199
when you're doing the negotiations if

2499
01:26:17,199 --> 01:26:20,960
you add dollar that we negotiate right

2500
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:22,960
now right then and there.

2501
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:24,560
I yeah, I haven't seen the new

2502
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:25,840
agreement, so I don't know what's in

2503
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:27,120
there. Obviously, if you doubled the

2504
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:28,480
size, I'm sure there's something in

2505
01:26:28,480 --> 01:26:31,280
there, but um but this is something that

2506
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,679
the assessor's office has done before

2507
01:26:33,679 --> 01:26:36,719
and feels much more worth the process.

2508
01:26:36,719 --> 01:26:38,400
>> The beauty of it, you're guaranteed

2509
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:39,760
payment for 3 years.

2510
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:40,960
>> Three years. And you know what it's

2511
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:43,199
going to be. You can budget it. You can

2512
01:26:43,199 --> 01:26:44,880
count on it. You don't have to spend

2513
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:47,280
money on the lawyers or the consultants

2514
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:50,400
>> in tax or worry about the interest or

2515
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:52,400
>> the time to negotiate.

2516
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:54,159
>> We have to these are not like brief

2517
01:26:54,159 --> 01:26:55,040
negotiations.

2518
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:57,199
>> If you recall, some of you may have been

2519
01:26:57,199 --> 01:26:58,719
on the board when we had to come up with

2520
01:26:58,719 --> 01:27:00,560
like 80ome,000

2521
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:02,639
in interest.

2522
01:27:02,639 --> 01:27:04,400
>> Do you remember that discussion? I think

2523
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:05,440
I repressed it.

2524
01:27:05,440 --> 01:27:07,520
>> I It was on the Yes.

2525
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:09,760
>> Because when the tax appellet court says

2526
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:11,040
no, it's not your amount, it's not their

2527
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:12,239
amount, it's this amount. We have to

2528
01:27:12,239 --> 01:27:15,760
give back the difference and interest at

2529
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:18,480
like 14%. 12 or 14%.

2530
01:27:18,480 --> 01:27:19,760
>> It was not a fun thing to have.

2531
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:20,480
>> No. No.

2532
01:27:20,480 --> 01:27:21,840
>> And that's why he put it separate on

2533
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:22,960
>> and you can pretty much count on the

2534
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:24,639
fact the tax board's never going to come

2535
01:27:24,639 --> 01:27:26,239
down 100% on your side. So no matter

2536
01:27:26,239 --> 01:27:28,080
what happens, you're probably going to

2537
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:29,360
be paying some interest.

2538
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:30,320
>> Okay.

2539
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:31,440
>> I think it's probably

2540
01:27:31,440 --> 01:27:33,679
>> So again, the article is just how do we

2541
01:27:33,679 --> 01:27:37,760
tax the first light pump storage

2542
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:40,320
energy? That's it. That's all this is

2543
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:41,600
about is a taxing methodology

2544
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:43,440
>> and they're going to have an agreement

2545
01:27:43,440 --> 01:27:45,280
ready when

2546
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:47,360
>> they're in negotiations now. I can't

2547
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:49,520
tell you exactly but this would allow

2548
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:52,639
the minute the agreement's valid for

2549
01:27:52,639 --> 01:27:54,159
>> the both boards to sign the

2550
01:27:54,159 --> 01:27:57,040
>> Okay, that's the next question. Okay,

2551
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,600
>> you wait till May.

2552
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:01,520
>> Okay. All right. Let's try and get that

2553
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:04,320
done. Okay. And then article 8 was um a

2554
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:05,760
lawn mower.

2555
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,880
>> Correct. we have um for the for the town

2556
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:11,280
hall. So, not the not

2557
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:13,840
>> not a big one. Just say lawn mower for

2558
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:17,600
>> Well, I mean, it's a riding mower, but the most recent we've spent quite a

2559
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:20,080
bit of money on repairs for the mower

2560
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:22,159
deck, the belt. It doesn't include that

2561
01:28:22,159 --> 01:28:24,159
the bagger doesn't work, that we need

2562
01:28:24,159 --> 01:28:26,800
new tires. Um, so we're putting we're

2563
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:28,719
putting money into this.

2564
01:28:28,719 --> 01:28:30,400
>> I don't think that was as old as you

2565
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:32,080
told me it was, though.

2566
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,239
>> Well, it's got it's got a good 15 years

2567
01:28:34,239 --> 01:28:36,639
on it. All right. Do you want to like

2568
01:28:36,639 --> 01:28:40,400
dive into the lawnmower details?

2569
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:40,880
>> Do I?

2570
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:41,760
>> Sorry. Yeah.

2571
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:42,639
>> No, he doesn't.

2572
01:28:42,639 --> 01:28:43,901
>> No, I don't want to do it, but I

2573
01:28:43,901 --> 01:28:46,480
[laughter] I I do recall

2574
01:28:46,480 --> 01:28:49,600
>> I do recall it it being damaged and I

2575
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:51,600
don't think they replace they

2576
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:54,239
>> Can you just come back with a quote?

2577
01:28:54,239 --> 01:28:55,360
>> Well, I have a quote.

2578
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:56,000
>> Oh, okay. Good.

2579
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:57,440
>> That's why we got

2580
01:28:57,440 --> 01:29:00,400
>> We're not just like Is that a quote from

2581
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:01,040
Okay,

2582
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:02,000
>> that's

2583
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:03,760
>> okay. I know somebody's going to argue

2584
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:04,960
about it, but um

2585
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:05,360
>> Yes.

2586
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:06,000
>> Okay.

2587
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:07,760
>> And we were adding up the cost of

2588
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:09,920
getting this one back in shape, and we

2589
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:11,760
just weren't sure that it made sense to

2590
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:14,719
>> Well, if you're spending $2,000 to fix

2591
01:29:14,719 --> 01:29:15,679
it up and get a new

2592
01:29:15,679 --> 01:29:16,639
>> Oh, I don't think it'd be that much, but

2593
01:29:16,639 --> 01:29:19,440
even if it had a,000, how long?

2594
01:29:19,440 --> 01:29:20,719
>> We're good. [laughter]

2595
01:29:20,719 --> 01:29:21,280
>> That's right.

2596
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:23,679
>> It's 3,800 bucks.

2597
01:29:23,679 --> 01:29:24,239
>> It is

2598
01:29:24,239 --> 01:29:25,679
>> for a lawn mower.

2599
01:29:25,679 --> 01:29:28,639
>> Okay. for a rider. We'll have a picture

2600
01:29:28,639 --> 01:29:32,560
and and probably need some I don't know.

2601
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:36,080
>> Okay. Uh article 9 will be 12,000 to

2602
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:38,560
make repairs to a highway department

2603
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:41,280
sander. This is going to be transferred

2604
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,920
from an account that we already had some

2605
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:47,760
money in. So in 2026 you

2606
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:49,360
>> which I think he's gotten now. I think

2607
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:51,360
he mentioned or maybe the new truck.

2608
01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:51,679
Yep.

2609
01:29:51,679 --> 01:29:53,600
>> We had a $200,000 article.

2610
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:57,280
>> Yeah. and we've spent 156 of that. So,

2611
01:29:57,280 --> 01:30:01,600
he's asking to have this $12,000

2612
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:04,320
um transferred from that already

2613
01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:05,440
appropriated account.

2614
01:30:05,440 --> 01:30:05,840
>> Yep.

2615
01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:08,719
>> Um to repair and change the direction of

2616
01:30:08,719 --> 01:30:10,960
the sander for plowing.

2617
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:12,560
>> Oh, so we're transferring from an

2618
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:14,639
appropriated account

2619
01:30:14,639 --> 01:30:16,000
>> to another account.

2620
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:17,120
>> Correct. Okay.

2621
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:19,199
>> Because it was voted for that truck, we

2622
01:30:19,199 --> 01:30:21,920
can't spend it on the sand this sand.

2623
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:23,520
have to have town meeting tell us it's

2624
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:23,760
okay.

2625
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:25,520
>> It's a transfer. So, we're doing using

2626
01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:27,040
the money for the right purpose. Got it.

2627
01:30:27,040 --> 01:30:29,520
>> Have you just transferred just normally?

2628
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:31,040
>> No, because it's a special article.

2629
01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:32,480
>> Oh, that's right. It's an article.

2630
01:30:32,480 --> 01:30:35,520
>> Yep. Yep. Okay. Article 10 is 24,000 to

2631
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:37,360
purchase a new equipment trailer. Is

2632
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:38,639
this for highway as well?

2633
01:30:38,639 --> 01:30:40,000
>> We would also be transferring it from

2634
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:41,360
that same account.

2635
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:42,639
>> That's a transfer as well.

2636
01:30:42,639 --> 01:30:43,120
>> Correct.

2637
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:43,760
>> Oh. Oh. Oh.

2638
01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:46,639
>> We had 200. We spent 155. The 12 took us

2639
01:30:46,639 --> 01:30:48,000
to leaving 32. And

2640
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:49,280
>> we're waiting on the We're waiting on

2641
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:51,040
the language. 24 would mean we'd still

2642
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:52,639
have about $8,200 that we'd probably

2643
01:30:52,639 --> 01:30:54,480
turn back into the town.

2644
01:30:54,480 --> 01:30:56,880
>> Pay for the new lawnmower.

2645
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:58,000
>> You can.

2646
01:30:58,000 --> 01:30:59,679
>> Oh, can we transfer extra and do the

2647
01:30:59,679 --> 01:31:00,239
lawnmower?

2648
01:31:00,239 --> 01:31:01,120
>> Sure.

2649
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:01,920
>> Why don't we do that?

2650
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:03,920
>> You can once you take you can do that.

2651
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:05,280
>> You thought it was a joke. I'm like,

2652
01:31:05,280 --> 01:31:06,480
>> "No, no, you can do that."

2653
01:31:06,480 --> 01:31:08,239
>> Shame your genius.

2654
01:31:08,239 --> 01:31:11,040
>> Thank you.

2655
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:12,560
>> Because once you go to town meeting, you

2656
01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:14,719
can take those funds and vote them for

2657
01:31:14,719 --> 01:31:14,960
anything.

2658
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:16,320
>> Is there enough left in that to be able

2659
01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:16,560
to

2660
01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:18,320
>> Oh, yeah. With both of these highway

2661
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:19,440
department transfers, there's still

2662
01:31:19,440 --> 01:31:21,360
8,200.

2663
01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:23,199
>> So, we could do the 3,800 from that

2664
01:31:23,199 --> 01:31:23,600
account.

2665
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:25,280
>> Well, that's

2666
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:25,679
>> okay.

2667
01:31:25,679 --> 01:31:27,440
>> That'd be a smart move like that.

2668
01:31:27,440 --> 01:31:29,280
>> Then it's no new appropriation,

2669
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:29,920
>> right?

2670
01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:31,440
>> Or free cash.

2671
01:31:31,440 --> 01:31:35,840
>> Okay. So, we need to finalize these this

2672
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:38,159
entire warrant by I'm looking at the

2673
01:31:38,159 --> 01:31:41,280
calendar by

2674
01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:44,800
um my calendar meeting is Thursday,

2675
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:47,679
November 19th. Right. So,

2676
01:31:47,679 --> 01:31:50,800
>> the select board signs said warrant on

2677
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:54,080
October 27th. So, we this is not our

2678
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:57,600
first and only gander at this. Okay.

2679
01:31:57,600 --> 01:31:59,360
>> We'll have language next time. Right.

2680
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:01,600
>> Right. Correct. So, we're still working.

2681
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:02,800
We've got the and then we're going to

2682
01:32:02,800 --> 01:32:04,159
Shane, we're going to get to what you

2683
01:32:04,159 --> 01:32:08,239
had mentioned. Uh but article 11 and 12

2684
01:32:08,239 --> 01:32:09,440
are sewer,

2685
01:32:09,440 --> 01:32:10,560
>> right? And I just heard about them

2686
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:12,000
today. So, he's supposed to be getting

2687
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:13,440
me the details tomorrow.

2688
01:32:13,440 --> 01:32:14,000
>> Okay.

2689
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:15,040
>> Um

2690
01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:17,520
>> All right. And then we talked earlier

2691
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:19,199
about having a revolving funds account

2692
01:32:19,199 --> 01:32:20,880
for fire department inspection.

2693
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:22,560
>> Correct. And that's 13

2694
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:24,719
>> instead of keeping an account line open

2695
01:32:24,719 --> 01:32:26,320
on the fire department budget

2696
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:27,520
>> and appropriating it every year.

2697
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:30,880
>> Yep. Yep. Good. Okay. And then

2698
01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:32,560
>> how the inspections are they to do the

2699
01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:34,000
tanks and that sort of thing?

2700
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:37,280
>> It's of uh smoke alarms. Every time

2701
01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:38,639
someone sells a house and has to have

2702
01:32:38,639 --> 01:32:40,639
smoke alarms put in or any any

2703
01:32:40,639 --> 01:32:42,239
inspection or permit that they have to

2704
01:32:42,239 --> 01:32:44,480
issue. So yes, it would be any

2705
01:32:44,480 --> 01:32:44,960
protection or

2706
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:45,440
>> permit it.

2707
01:32:45,440 --> 01:32:48,560
>> So when the town clerk sends out the uh

2708
01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:50,239
flammables

2709
01:32:50,239 --> 01:32:52,639
uh certification as far as doing that

2710
01:32:52,639 --> 01:32:56,080
the money comes back in and we or

2711
01:32:56,080 --> 01:32:57,440
>> well it depends. I I don't know that

2712
01:32:57,440 --> 01:32:59,600
certificate in spec if that one's a town

2713
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:01,520
and it's made out to the well it may be

2714
01:33:01,520 --> 01:33:03,600
made out to the town but yes if we pay a

2715
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:04,960
person to go do that from the fire

2716
01:33:04,960 --> 01:33:07,440
department because they're inspect it's

2717
01:33:07,440 --> 01:33:10,159
probably we're already paying them. We

2718
01:33:10,159 --> 01:33:12,159
just are depositing the one check and

2719
01:33:12,159 --> 01:33:13,520
then taking it out of an appropriate.

2720
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:14,719
>> So it should be going into that fund.

2721
01:33:14,719 --> 01:33:15,840
>> It should be a revolving. Yeah,

2722
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:16,800
>> it should be going into this fund.

2723
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:18,080
>> So when it comes in, it goes out. It

2724
01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:18,400
comes in.

2725
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:21,360
>> So that will be done by uh tax collector

2726
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:22,719
or not tax collector but

2727
01:33:22,719 --> 01:33:24,320
>> revolving funds are managed by the

2728
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:25,040
accounting department.

2729
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:27,280
>> So So when she puts that out and she

2730
01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:29,760
marks it flammables and they're $200

2731
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:31,920
$300 that's going to go into this fund

2732
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:33,199
now.

2733
01:33:33,199 --> 01:33:36,560
>> Yeah. I'm not Yeah, I'm not sure that I'd have to know what that permit

2734
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:38,880
is. I can't speak to that permit, but it

2735
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:40,800
>> supposed to be inspections of flammable,

2736
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:42,239
>> right? And some some portion of

2737
01:33:42,239 --> 01:33:44,560
>> Can we just take a note

2738
01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:46,719
>> and and go over that with Amanda and

2739
01:33:46,719 --> 01:33:48,719
with Mike Quinn if needed?

2740
01:33:48,719 --> 01:33:49,600
>> Yeah, some of them

2741
01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:51,760
>> as to whether what would fall under

2742
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:53,760
here. I was thinking mostly this was on

2743
01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:55,600
the to-do list from the fire department

2744
01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:58,080
perspective because we're we actually

2745
01:33:58,080 --> 01:34:00,560
have a line item in their budget that

2746
01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:02,400
really should be a revolving account

2747
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:05,600
similar to like what the wreck does when

2748
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:07,920
somebody signs up for a program.

2749
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:09,600
>> Yeah. I just want to make sure that the

2750
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:10,880
funds are going into the right place

2751
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:12,560
that this is being uh

2752
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:14,159
>> but since we can't answer that right

2753
01:34:14,159 --> 01:34:15,760
now, if we could just take an action

2754
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:17,760
item to get to the bottom of that and

2755
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:20,080
then make sure we've got an appropriate

2756
01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:21,760
description, that would be great. fire

2757
01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:23,120
department officers paid to do that

2758
01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:24,880
inspection, then this fund would go in

2759
01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:25,440
this account.

2760
01:34:25,440 --> 01:34:28,159
>> Okay. All right. Anything else? Uh

2761
01:34:28,159 --> 01:34:32,800
Shane, you were talking about a topic.

2762
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:35,040
You wanted something on the fall town

2763
01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:38,800
meeting um warrant article before we

2764
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:40,800
because we're effectively cutting this

2765
01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:42,320
off.

2766
01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:46,000
And um do you want to

2767
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:46,639
>> Yeah, I looked

2768
01:34:46,639 --> 01:34:47,920
>> I just want to give you some information

2769
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:49,360
on it too now that we're in the public

2770
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:50,639
meeting. [laughter]

2771
01:34:50,639 --> 01:34:51,600
So go ahead.

2772
01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:52,880
>> Yeah.

2773
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:55,280
>> So I've been I've heard from a lot of

2774
01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:56,719
people and I'm actually in agreement

2775
01:34:56,719 --> 01:34:59,440
with going to an electronic uh voting

2776
01:34:59,440 --> 01:35:01,920
system for town meeting. Um it's going

2777
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:03,679
to cut down the amount of time that

2778
01:35:03,679 --> 01:35:05,679
takes to go through town meeting.

2779
01:35:05,679 --> 01:35:06,080
>> Yep.

2780
01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:07,360
>> Um it's going to make things more

2781
01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:09,520
accurate and the results are right up in

2782
01:35:09,520 --> 01:35:12,800
front of you. Um the cost of the systems

2783
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:14,960
are about $15,000

2784
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:18,239
all in with two or 300 clickers and it's

2785
01:35:18,239 --> 01:35:19,440
something that we could share with other

2786
01:35:19,440 --> 01:35:20,880
towns as well because we don't have town

2787
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:22,480
meetings on the same day.

2788
01:35:22,480 --> 01:35:24,880
>> So I I've had quite a lengthy

2789
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:26,320
conversation with Amanda over months

2790
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:27,760
over this because we've gone back and

2791
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:31,199
forth. So there's a couple of things

2792
01:35:31,199 --> 01:35:37,040
that we had to look at. Um if you if you

2793
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:38,639
>> there's a programming fee. So lending

2794
01:35:38,639 --> 01:35:40,320
them to another town meeting. See

2795
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:42,159
>> before we get into electronic voting

2796
01:35:42,159 --> 01:35:44,080
details.

2797
01:35:44,080 --> 01:35:45,920
>> I don't think this actually needs to be

2798
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:48,960
on the town meeting because we talked I

2799
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:50,800
went back and I looked at the minutes.

2800
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:54,719
>> We actually talked about this topic.

2801
01:35:54,719 --> 01:35:58,000
>> Three times last year at because another

2802
01:35:58,000 --> 01:35:59,920
select board member raised it and wanted

2803
01:35:59,920 --> 01:36:01,120
to move [clears throat] it forward. And

2804
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:03,760
the uh details and the suggestion from

2805
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:06,239
the select board was

2806
01:36:06,239 --> 01:36:08,880
to lay out the costs, to do the pros and

2807
01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:11,280
cons, to talk to the town clerk, town

2808
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:14,639
moderator, have vendor demos, and then

2809
01:36:14,639 --> 01:36:16,880
come back with a proposal that would go

2810
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:18,719
on the

2811
01:36:18,719 --> 01:36:21,679
into possibly the operating budget and

2812
01:36:21,679 --> 01:36:24,639
the capital budget. So, I'm not sure we

2813
01:36:24,639 --> 01:36:26,400
need to do it on the town meeting

2814
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:28,800
warrants per se as much as just

2815
01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:29,840
following the

2816
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:31,440
>> Well, you wouldn't be doing it for this

2817
01:36:31,440 --> 01:36:33,600
fall probably because I don't think we

2818
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:34,719
have that information.

2819
01:36:34,719 --> 01:36:36,400
>> Yeah. What we were waiting on

2820
01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:36,960
>> Yeah.

2821
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:39,360
>> previously was we just kept asking,

2822
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:40,800
"Well, do you have any figures? Do you

2823
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:41,679
have any details?"

2824
01:36:41,679 --> 01:36:42,480
>> I do.

2825
01:36:42,480 --> 01:36:44,480
>> Well, they they never did. That's why we

2826
01:36:44,480 --> 01:36:46,480
never moved on it.

2827
01:36:46,480 --> 01:36:50,000
>> Right. There's But there's two options.

2828
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:51,760
>> There's owning everything. Correct.

2829
01:36:51,760 --> 01:36:54,239
paying the annual cost for the software

2830
01:36:54,239 --> 01:36:55,920
and fees and how much equipment you're

2831
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:57,119
going to own and then there's just

2832
01:36:57,119 --> 01:36:58,560
hiring them to come and they bring

2833
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:01,440
everything and do everything. So the I

2834
01:37:01,440 --> 01:37:03,199
don't know which which company this is.

2835
01:37:03,199 --> 01:37:05,199
The one that I looked at I asked that

2836
01:37:05,199 --> 01:37:08,480
question. There is no year-to-year fees.

2837
01:37:08,480 --> 01:37:10,000
>> You have to pay for the software. That

2838
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:12,080
was the orange turned over invoice.

2839
01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:12,800
>> This is

2840
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:13,920
>> okay. So

2841
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:14,880
>> there's there's probably multiple

2842
01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:15,679
companies that do it. So

2843
01:37:15,679 --> 01:37:17,679
>> yeah, this is the big one.

2844
01:37:17,679 --> 01:37:19,920
>> So we're not opposed to it.

2845
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:23,119
>> Um actually the town clerk has met with

2846
01:37:23,119 --> 01:37:24,480
some vendors at her town.

2847
01:37:24,480 --> 01:37:26,159
>> She went and she spoke with these guys.

2848
01:37:26,159 --> 01:37:28,159
Meridia, this is kind of the big boy on

2849
01:37:28,159 --> 01:37:29,520
the block. I'll have to look at the

2850
01:37:29,520 --> 01:37:30,639
company. I'll send you the information

2851
01:37:30,639 --> 01:37:31,760
of the one that I talked with.

2852
01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:33,760
>> Yeah. But um but it was pretty clear

2853
01:37:33,760 --> 01:37:36,080
that we saw there's an annual fee

2854
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:37,280
because you have to pay for the

2855
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:37,840
software.

2856
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:39,199
>> I did ask that question. This company

2857
01:37:39,199 --> 01:37:40,880
that I was talking to did not have an

2858
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:42,560
annual fee and I have it on in the

2859
01:37:42,560 --> 01:37:45,040
annual that they did not because that's

2860
01:37:45,040 --> 01:37:46,080
one of the questions is is there an

2861
01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:47,840
annual fee? Is there maintenance

2862
01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:50,400
clauses? And the answer was no one. No.

2863
01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:51,199
>> Yeah. I don't think there's a

2864
01:37:51,199 --> 01:37:52,320
maintenance thing. But

2865
01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:54,960
>> so who programs the uh computer then

2866
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:55,520
that

2867
01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:57,840
>> they it's all programmed. It has to be

2868
01:37:57,840 --> 01:37:58,800
programmed every time you have

2869
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:01,840
>> every year. He every town meeting you

2870
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:03,600
he'd have he'd have to program it.

2871
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:04,880
>> I'll ask that question.

2872
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:05,679
>> Yeah. Yeah.

2873
01:38:05,679 --> 01:38:07,760
>> Without going into the weeds on it.

2874
01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:09,280
>> I'm all for it.

2875
01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:11,280
>> But there's also Well, there's a bunch

2876
01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:13,760
of questions. I mean, if you go, you

2877
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:15,440
can't just buy a couple hundred because

2878
01:38:15,440 --> 01:38:16,960
we have some we've had some town

2879
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:18,719
meetings where we had 500 people. I

2880
01:38:18,719 --> 01:38:19,840
understand they're the more unusual, but

2881
01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:21,040
they're also the more complicated ones

2882
01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:22,239
when you probably would want to use.

2883
01:38:22,239 --> 01:38:24,320
>> So 500 cookers was the first price they

2884
01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:26,239
gave you that was $20,000.

2885
01:38:26,239 --> 01:38:27,600
>> Yeah. And the problem with that

2886
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:29,760
partially for us is we don't have a

2887
01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:32,320
place to put 500 clickers in the

2888
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:34,000
building securely.

2889
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:34,880
>> Can can

2890
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:36,000
>> So I mean we were just looking at all

2891
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:37,600
the logistics. [clears throat]

2892
01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:39,600
>> We're basically

2893
01:38:39,600 --> 01:38:42,239
no offense to you.

2894
01:38:42,239 --> 01:38:43,840
We're basically having the same

2895
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:46,000
discussion. We had at least two select

2896
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:48,400
board meetings last year. And then the

2897
01:38:48,400 --> 01:38:50,400
select board member was going to and we

2898
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:56,239
had a lot of at the top level

2899
01:38:56,239 --> 01:38:59,119
information similar to this and nobody

2900
01:38:59,119 --> 01:39:01,440
had a problem with it other than come

2901
01:39:01,440 --> 01:39:04,400
back with a proposal and make sure it's

2902
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:05,840
gone through. I'm just looking at the

2903
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:08,239
notes. make sure it's um included the

2904
01:39:08,239 --> 01:39:10,400
town clerk cuz you have to look at how

2905
01:39:10,400 --> 01:39:12,000
much

2906
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:14,480
um what the town clerk needs to do, what

2907
01:39:14,480 --> 01:39:16,400
the election workers need to do, and if

2908
01:39:16,400 --> 01:39:18,639
there's any additional labor associated

2909
01:39:18,639 --> 01:39:21,360
with that. So then we were like that

2910
01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:23,199
would be operating for the new fiscal

2911
01:39:23,199 --> 01:39:26,560
year and then any capital expenses

2912
01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:29,360
associated for the new year. So then it

2913
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:30,960
would go on the annual town meeting

2914
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:32,880
because you're actually asking for a new

2915
01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:35,840
potentially new capital expense and

2916
01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:39,119
you're also possibly up upping the town

2917
01:39:39,119 --> 01:39:41,119
clerk budget by a significant amount.

2918
01:39:41,119 --> 01:39:42,800
>> Yeah. Oh, and I had that discussion with

2919
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:44,080
her. I mean, she she would

2920
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:45,360
>> I know we just haven't had the

2921
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:47,119
discussion with Shane, unfortunately.

2922
01:39:47,119 --> 01:39:48,560
>> That was she needs

2923
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:49,280
>> before Shane.

2924
01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:51,760
>> They have to they have to I will go back

2925
01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:53,199
and look at the meeting minutes. I'll

2926
01:39:53,199 --> 01:39:55,440
find those and read them through and

2927
01:39:55,440 --> 01:39:57,119
>> I'll get my stuff together and get it

2928
01:39:57,119 --> 01:39:59,440
forward. I just wanted to bring it up.

2929
01:39:59,440 --> 01:40:00,080
>> Yeah. No, I'm

2930
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:06,960
>> and I would Yeah. And talking with um Amanda's a good thing because because

2931
01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:11,280
Amanda is concerned about having these

2932
01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:14,400
storing them, programming them, election

2933
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:16,000
workers, having to test every one of

2934
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:19,360
them. Um and that that that's the thing.

2935
01:40:19,360 --> 01:40:20,000
So,

2936
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:21,520
>> she's not against them where no one's

2937
01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:22,159
against them.

2938
01:40:22,159 --> 01:40:24,080
>> Nobody I just want to make it clear. I

2939
01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:26,239
think everybody's really intrigued and

2940
01:40:26,239 --> 01:40:28,400
wants to go to a demo and wants to get

2941
01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:30,080
to the next step.

2942
01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:32,560
>> Just given the logistics of last year,

2943
01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:34,400
we never got to the next step unless

2944
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:36,400
somebody stepped up and actually got us

2945
01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:38,400
to the next step. So understood.

2946
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:40,560
>> And I know that at UMass, for instance,

2947
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:42,639
in the big lecture halls, you have to

2948
01:40:42,639 --> 01:40:45,520
buy a clicker for class. Oh, as a

2949
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:45,840
student.

2950
01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:47,440
>> As a student, every student has to have

2951
01:40:47,440 --> 01:40:48,639
a clicker because in all the big

2952
01:40:48,639 --> 01:40:50,320
classes, teachers are asking you

2953
01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:51,679
questions. You have to respond and give

2954
01:40:51,679 --> 01:40:54,239
you. So, it's is exactly the same system

2955
01:40:54,239 --> 01:40:55,760
just in a different application.

2956
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:58,719
>> So, you have the uh not elected

2957
01:40:58,719 --> 01:41:00,639
officials, but everybody in town

2958
01:41:00,639 --> 01:41:01,760
purchasing a clicker.

2959
01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:02,719
>> No. No. Okay.

2960
01:41:02,719 --> 01:41:04,719
>> The town purchased the clicker. When you

2961
01:41:04,719 --> 01:41:07,280
check in, you get a clicker. Um is the

2962
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:08,960
way we test it right there on the spot.

2963
01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:11,679
It's yes, no, or abstain. Those are your

2964
01:41:11,679 --> 01:41:13,440
options. And you can they'll put a timer

2965
01:41:13,440 --> 01:41:14,960
up on the wall and you have, you know,

2966
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:16,320
30 seconds to make your choice.

2967
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,560
>> Oh yeah, I understand how no

2968
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:20,719
>> uh but you you've got to factor into the

2969
01:41:20,719 --> 01:41:23,199
budget. Uh what does it actually cost?

2970
01:41:23,199 --> 01:41:24,880
You're going to have initial cost for

2971
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:26,639
the for the hardware

2972
01:41:26,639 --> 01:41:29,280
>> and the battery things of that nature.

2973
01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:32,080
What it cost for the battery cost to you

2974
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:33,760
have to program these. It's just like

2975
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:34,800
programming anything.

2976
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:36,800
>> Well, you're programming the computer

2977
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:37,360
for each.

2978
01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:39,520
>> Correct. Yeah. Correct.

2979
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:40,960
But something somebody has to pay for

2980
01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:43,840
that. So, that's part of it. Um, the

2981
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:47,760
other half of that is if you you issue a

2982
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:49,199
wine, you give them a number, you check

2983
01:41:49,199 --> 01:41:51,679
it off their name. If they don't give it

2984
01:41:51,679 --> 01:41:53,040
back at the end of the night, you assess

2985
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:54,880
them whatever the cost is.

2986
01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:55,199
>> You can't

2987
01:41:55,199 --> 01:41:56,960
>> because or or they have to get it back

2988
01:41:56,960 --> 01:41:57,600
to you.

2989
01:41:57,600 --> 01:41:58,719
>> You have to go get them.

2990
01:41:58,719 --> 01:41:59,360
>> Yeah.

2991
01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:00,000
>> It's it's

2992
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:01,840
>> I mean, that's that's the the thing is

2993
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:03,119
you start losing some of these things,

2994
01:42:03,119 --> 01:42:05,360
which people are not the greatest.

2995
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:06,880
>> No, there's all sorts of logistical.

2996
01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:08,159
>> They should be thrown in a box or

2997
01:42:08,159 --> 01:42:09,520
something like like they do it down at

2998
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:10,960
Disney. take out the glasses for

2999
01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:14,080
>> I think I think if you could because now

3000
01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:15,679
you have familiarity with it too.

3001
01:42:15,679 --> 01:42:17,440
>> Pick point on it and then I'll move to

3002
01:42:17,440 --> 01:42:17,920
Amanda.

3003
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:19,679
>> And if you could do the pros and cons

3004
01:42:19,679 --> 01:42:23,760
with Amanda and then um list those out

3005
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:25,440
because I think there is a pro to the

3006
01:42:25,440 --> 01:42:27,440
rental potentially based on what we

3007
01:42:27,440 --> 01:42:28,880
talked about last year.

3008
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:30,639
>> So if you could just come back with a

3009
01:42:30,639 --> 01:42:32,880
proposal then we could shepherd it

3010
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:34,159
through this process.

3011
01:42:34,159 --> 01:42:35,520
>> Yeah. I mean yeah they do have a price

3012
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:36,800
that you can do and they'll just they

3013
01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:37,840
come in they bring everything they set

3014
01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:39,119
it up. They do it all. They run it. They

3015
01:42:39,119 --> 01:42:40,080
matter and they leave.

3016
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:41,440
>> No, that'd be great because then you

3017
01:42:41,440 --> 01:42:43,119
could you could factor in, okay, we got

3018
01:42:43,119 --> 01:42:44,880
two town meetings. We figure out what is

3019
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:45,119
the

3020
01:42:45,119 --> 01:42:46,480
>> Yeah, you do two a year and then if you

3021
01:42:46,480 --> 01:42:47,920
have smaller ones, you could not do

3022
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:49,840
them. But but there's that's going to be

3023
01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:54,639
a more expensive option over the long

3024
01:42:54,639 --> 01:42:57,199
term. Sure. But it also means you always

3025
01:42:57,199 --> 01:42:59,520
have a piece of the newest equipment.

3026
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:04,870
>> Yeah. Right. What I'd like to do is just

3027
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:07,280
» I'm just sensitive to the fact that we

3028
01:43:07,280 --> 01:43:08,880
discussed this so many times last year

3029
01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:10,560
and we could never get off the dime.

3030
01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:11,840
>> I will go back and that's not your

3031
01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:12,159
fault.

3032
01:43:12,159 --> 01:43:13,600
>> I'll go back and read the minutes and

3033
01:43:13,600 --> 01:43:14,320
I'll go from there.

3034
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:16,000
>> Um,

3035
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:18,880
and let's just figure out the other

3036
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:21,040
thing that didn't

3037
01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:21,920
>> Thank you. Perfect.

3038
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:25,040
>> Yeah. Yeah. It's all because I want I

3039
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:27,119
actually had Becky print out um minutes

3040
01:43:27,119 --> 01:43:28,719
for the last year because I went back

3041
01:43:28,719 --> 01:43:31,360
and I looked to see what we was

3042
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:34,480
repeating and also not just for this

3043
01:43:34,480 --> 01:43:37,840
topic but multiple topics. Um, but what

3044
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:39,920
I wanted to do was just point out the

3045
01:43:39,920 --> 01:43:47,520
calendar which is in the packet that if anybody else has any ideas, the

3046
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:50,560
capital request forms are due November

3047
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:57,679
12th and then the operating budget requests are due on December 9th.

3048
01:43:57,679 --> 01:44:00,480
That was the other thing. It just the

3049
01:44:00,480 --> 01:44:04,000
per everyone's busy. I think the person

3050
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:06,719
just ran out of time and did not so

3051
01:44:06,719 --> 01:44:08,880
nothing ever got discussed and then

3052
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:10,960
moved forward to the finance committee.

3053
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:12,400
I will also tell you that there's

3054
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:14,000
somebody on the finance committee who's

3055
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:17,199
very very interested in this topic.

3056
01:44:17,199 --> 01:44:19,600
>> Um

3057
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:20,960
>> I'm sure I'll be hearing from them as

3058
01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:22,159
well after this meeting.

3059
01:44:22,159 --> 01:44:23,840
>> Yes. Well, I'm going to connect the

3060
01:44:23,840 --> 01:44:24,159
dots.

3061
01:44:24,159 --> 01:44:25,199
>> I can guarantee it.

3062
01:44:25,199 --> 01:44:27,840
because it's Lindsay

3063
01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:28,560
McCarthy.

3064
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:30,639
>> Okay. [laughter]

3065
01:44:30,639 --> 01:44:32,880
>> And she's very interested. We just had a

3066
01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:34,159
discussion the other night. I just went

3067
01:44:34,159 --> 01:44:36,320
through all my notes with her. And so

3068
01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:38,880
then when I saw your email, I'm like

3069
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:40,320
because you sent it to the whole board,

3070
01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:41,760
I couldn't tell you everything that I

3071
01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:45,360
had already talked about. So anyway, but

3072
01:44:45,360 --> 01:44:47,840
I think we're good. And then um you have

3073
01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:49,760
some citizens who are very interested in

3074
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:50,560
moving this forward.

3075
01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:51,520
>> They've already reached out to me

3076
01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:53,040
multiple times. So

3077
01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:55,119
>> I've had the same probably the same

3078
01:44:55,119 --> 01:44:56,239
people. Okay, I'm sure.

3079
01:44:56,239 --> 01:44:58,880
>> Okay. Um

3080
01:44:58,880 --> 01:45:01,199
great. Thank you, Shane. I appreciate

3081
01:45:01,199 --> 01:45:02,159
that.

3082
01:45:02,159 --> 01:45:05,199
Okay, we're done with that. Um,

3083
01:45:05,199 --> 01:45:05,760
we're done.

3084
01:45:05,760 --> 01:45:08,639
>> Wanted to do a review of Franklin County

3085
01:45:08,639 --> 01:45:11,679
Technical School building project,

3086
01:45:11,679 --> 01:45:13,840
specifically the cost for Northfield.

3087
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:15,360
Somebody asked me about that and I said

3088
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:19,440
I'd put it on the agenda. Um,

3089
01:45:19,440 --> 01:45:22,480
and that's in the packet.

3090
01:45:22,480 --> 01:45:23,920
Do you want to walk us through that? You

3091
01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:25,760
got that from the Franklin County Tech

3092
01:45:25,760 --> 01:45:28,400
School. We talked about this earlier

3093
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:30,480
this year with with the then

3094
01:45:30,480 --> 01:45:33,199
superintendent,

3095
01:45:33,199 --> 01:45:34,719
>> right? No, I just reached out to the

3096
01:45:34,719 --> 01:45:36,159
business manager.

3097
01:45:36,159 --> 01:45:42,320
>> Okay. She sent back the project cost, what the MSBA is going

3098
01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:44,080
to give, and what the projected final

3099
01:45:44,080 --> 01:45:45,920
financing that then all the towns are

3100
01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:49,199
going to pay. So, I mean, it's a 236.6

3101
01:45:49,199 --> 01:45:51,199
million building.

3102
01:45:51,199 --> 01:45:55,199
Um, MSBA is 113.8 8 million. So that's

3103
01:45:55,199 --> 01:45:58,000
about half.

3104
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:00,480
And so the projected final estimate for

3105
01:46:00,480 --> 01:46:03,840
the towns uh that are members is 122.8

3106
01:46:03,840 --> 01:46:05,360
million

3107
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:07,360
>> for the 19 towns that participate

3108
01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:09,760
>> for all of the towns. Correct. The yield

3109
01:46:09,760 --> 01:46:12,159
is 5.52% of that.

3110
01:46:12,159 --> 01:46:13,199
>> Okay.

3111
01:46:13,199 --> 01:46:17,840
>> And this is a 30-year because it ends it ramps up as you do before you do a

3112
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:20,239
bonding. So they'll some small years and

3113
01:46:20,239 --> 01:46:22,000
then when it gets to that final year

3114
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:23,679
then it's 30 years from the date you

3115
01:46:23,679 --> 01:46:25,920
bond which they're projecting I think

3116
01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:28,400
their bond is 2031. So it'll run from

3117
01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:33,280
2031 to 2061. That's the bonding.

3118
01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:37,119
>> So for so for next year so the vote is

3119
01:46:37,119 --> 01:46:40,320
just for the um for the technical school

3120
01:46:40,320 --> 01:46:42,400
to actually borrow. Correct.

3121
01:46:42,400 --> 01:46:46,719
>> Correct. And then um for FY28 the

3122
01:46:46,719 --> 01:46:48,639
projected debt service,

3123
01:46:48,639 --> 01:46:50,400
>> right? Those will be short-term

3124
01:46:50,400 --> 01:46:54,719
>> or shortterm. So that's 12,787.

3125
01:46:54,719 --> 01:46:59,840
Fiscal year 29 it goes up to 191 152.

3126
01:46:59,840 --> 01:47:03,760
2030 it goes up to 296 685 and then it

3127
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:06,000
looks like like you said that's when

3128
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:07,119
bonding occurs.

3129
01:47:07,119 --> 01:47:09,040
>> Correct. looks like you'll peak out

3130
01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:13,119
somewhere around 20 35 and then it stays

3131
01:47:13,119 --> 01:47:15,040
fairly similar for quite a while till it

3132
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:17,040
starts to fall off

3133
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:18,880
>> until the 2050s.

3134
01:47:18,880 --> 01:47:20,320
>> Do we know what that does to an average

3135
01:47:20,320 --> 01:47:22,639
tax bill?

3136
01:47:22,639 --> 01:47:24,239
>> Yeah, I mean you can

3137
01:47:24,239 --> 01:47:26,480
>> kind of sort of but um

3138
01:47:26,480 --> 01:47:29,760
>> it's hard to know going up 50 40 year 30

3139
01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:31,520
years because the values all change.

3140
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:33,520
>> How about going out two years?

3141
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:36,480
>> Look at the front of the war. I didn't

3142
01:47:36,480 --> 01:47:38,000
bring mine in, but the front of the

3143
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:40,000
warrant page that tells you how like

3144
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:43,679
this particular year, how much is

3145
01:47:43,679 --> 01:47:48,000
>> $100,000 was 17 cents on the tax. So

3146
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:50,000
you'd have to multiply that times a,000

3147
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:52,400
whatever your valuation valuation 17

3148
01:47:52,400 --> 01:47:54,960
cents per thousand. So if you have

3149
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:56,800
>> for 100,000 is it

3150
01:47:56,800 --> 01:47:58,800
>> 400. So if this if if you want to say

3151
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:00,560
let's just take 400,000 because they'll

3152
01:48:00,560 --> 01:48:04,159
hit that in 2031. So if you take 400 I

3153
01:48:04,159 --> 01:48:15,270
mean $400,000

3154
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:20,560
$68 per thousand. No.

3155
01:48:20,560 --> 01:48:22,239
>> Better not be.

3156
01:48:22,239 --> 01:48:24,000
>> No. No. No. No. No. I did the math. I'm

3157
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:24,719
just doing the math.

3158
01:48:24,719 --> 01:48:26,400
>> That's a No. [laughter]

3159
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:29,840
>> No. No. No. No. No. It's um I think it's

3160
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:33,679
$68 on a on a house for but I got to do

3161
01:48:33,679 --> 01:48:36,480
the valuation. So every

3162
01:48:36,480 --> 01:48:40,880
>> $100,000 let's take a zero out of there.

3163
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:46,149
100 if it's in fact

3164
01:48:46,159 --> 01:48:52,709
17,000*.17.

3165
01:48:52,719 --> 01:48:56,960
So $17 for every 100,000.

3166
01:48:56,960 --> 01:49:01,830
So, if your house is $400,000,

3167
01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:04,000
it'd be $68

3168
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:05,920
on your bill.

3169
01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:07,920
If you did it this year,

3170
01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:08,800
>> right?

3171
01:49:08,800 --> 01:49:10,239
>> At the peak, you mean

3172
01:49:10,239 --> 01:49:12,080
>> I did 400,000. Yeah. You could add

3173
01:49:12,080 --> 01:49:13,679
another 50 would be half of that. Eight

3174
01:49:13,679 --> 01:49:16,880
8 cents more. So, yeah.

3175
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:17,760
>> So,

3176
01:49:17,760 --> 01:49:19,440
>> that has to be project. They should be

3177
01:49:19,440 --> 01:49:21,199
talking about that as far as that for

3178
01:49:21,199 --> 01:49:22,560
education.

3179
01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:24,080
>> I mean, that's how you that's how you

3180
01:49:24,080 --> 01:49:27,040
calculate it. You look at what the

3181
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:28,880
>> what everything you add to the budget. I

3182
01:49:28,880 --> 01:49:30,960
do it when I when I do the sheet for you

3183
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:33,520
see 50,000 100,000 and then you just

3184
01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:35,119
take that

3185
01:49:35,119 --> 01:49:37,280
>> amount for every 100,000 you add to the

3186
01:49:37,280 --> 01:49:39,520
tax rate it's x amount of cents.

3187
01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:41,920
>> So then you multiply that times,000 that

3188
01:49:41,920 --> 01:49:43,920
tells you what it is for every 100,000

3189
01:49:43,920 --> 01:49:46,960
17 cents. So

3190
01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:48,880
>> a th000 valuation

3191
01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:49,440
>> so

3192
01:49:49,440 --> 01:49:52,080
>> up from there

3193
01:49:52,080 --> 01:49:54,000
>> but that's factored into the total

3194
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:57,040
budget that we correct that we put

3195
01:49:57,040 --> 01:49:58,560
>> right

3196
01:49:58,560 --> 01:50:00,320
>> that we put in front of the town each

3197
01:50:00,320 --> 01:50:03,440
May. So that's an estimate and you're

3198
01:50:03,440 --> 01:50:06,800
basing it on the figures that kick in.

3199
01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:09,280
>> You're basing it on the tax rate and the

3200
01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:12,639
in an average house this year. The

3201
01:50:12,639 --> 01:50:15,360
biggest amount kicks in in 2031. So

3202
01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:17,679
potentially it could be

3203
01:50:17,679 --> 01:50:19,760
>> actually 2035,

3204
01:50:19,760 --> 01:50:20,400
>> right?

3205
01:50:20,400 --> 01:50:23,199
>> 2035 is your big number.

3206
01:50:23,199 --> 01:50:24,960
>> 448547.

3207
01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:26,239
>> The year 2035.

3208
01:50:26,239 --> 01:50:28,880
>> Yes, correct.

3209
01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:32,159
>> I won't be around to worry about it.

3210
01:50:32,159 --> 01:50:34,000
>> Well, there's that. [laughter]

3211
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:34,719
>> Oh god.

3212
01:50:34,719 --> 01:50:37,360
>> I'll be dead. But um

3213
01:50:37,360 --> 01:50:39,360
>> your estate will still be taxed.

3214
01:50:39,360 --> 01:50:43,920
>> Yeah, I'll still be paying Does that

3215
01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:45,360
I just wanted to make sure we got that

3216
01:50:45,360 --> 01:50:47,440
out there for the vote and the vote is

3217
01:50:47,440 --> 01:50:49,840
on the borrow not on the amount

3218
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:51,760
>> it is.

3219
01:50:51,760 --> 01:50:54,960
>> Right. But either way,

3220
01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:57,440
>> if this is for a new building, if they

3221
01:50:57,440 --> 01:51:00,560
come back for just renovations on the

3222
01:51:00,560 --> 01:51:03,040
existing old building, we would have a

3223
01:51:03,040 --> 01:51:06,080
similar proposal because they're

3224
01:51:06,080 --> 01:51:08,080
actually getting

3225
01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:08,639
money

3226
01:51:08,639 --> 01:51:10,000
>> about 50%.

3227
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,800
>> Right. That brings this back down into

3228
01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:16,080
the same ballpark as renovating the

3229
01:51:16,080 --> 01:51:18,719
building. So, you end up paying either

3230
01:51:18,719 --> 01:51:20,239
way.

3231
01:51:20,239 --> 01:51:22,639
>> We ran into this when we did the high

3232
01:51:22,639 --> 01:51:23,600
school.

3233
01:51:23,600 --> 01:51:25,600
>> The high school was needed needing to be

3234
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:28,000
replaced. We not replaced, but there was

3235
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:29,760
damage in that. It was going to cost the

3236
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:34,000
town out of pocket $5 million.

3237
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:36,320
>> But the state came and again, the state

3238
01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:38,560
is not going to reimburse that. So

3239
01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:40,639
you're uh and I'm not sure if this if

3240
01:51:40,639 --> 01:51:42,159
they reimburse some of it or all of it.

3241
01:51:42,159 --> 01:51:44,239
That would be a question. It says right

3242
01:51:44,239 --> 01:51:45,360
there.

3243
01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:47,920
>> But if if you don't build the building,

3244
01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:50,239
if you just renovate,

3245
01:51:50,239 --> 01:51:51,360
>> you don't get the reimburse.

3246
01:51:51,360 --> 01:51:53,599
>> That's correct. So if the renovations

3247
01:51:53,599 --> 01:51:55,520
>> Well, you can get some renovations

3248
01:51:55,520 --> 01:51:57,760
through MSBA, but it's not the same.

3249
01:51:57,760 --> 01:51:59,599
They do certain projects, windows,

3250
01:51:59,599 --> 01:52:01,520
doors, roofs. So, if this if this

3251
01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:04,480
doesn't pass, then they'd go to option

3252
01:52:04,480 --> 01:52:07,199
B, which would be to uh take what they

3253
01:52:07,199 --> 01:52:09,440
have existing and and try to correct

3254
01:52:09,440 --> 01:52:10,880
some of the problems. And that's going

3255
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:13,440
to be in the hundreds of millions of

3256
01:52:13,440 --> 01:52:14,800
dollars also.

3257
01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:15,440
>> Yeah.

3258
01:52:15,440 --> 01:52:18,239
>> You're going to end up paying the same

3259
01:52:18,239 --> 01:52:20,480
and getting less. And this is exactly

3260
01:52:20,480 --> 01:52:23,520
why when uh the renovations to Pioneer

3261
01:52:23,520 --> 01:52:26,400
came about and at that time, the state

3262
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:28,480
kicked in a heck of a lot more than they

3263
01:52:28,480 --> 01:52:31,920
are now. They they did 70 70 something

3264
01:52:31,920 --> 01:52:35,760
percent of it. Uh if they didn't do that

3265
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:37,360
and we just renovated, it would cost the

3266
01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:38,880
taxpayers exactly the same amount of

3267
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:41,679
money or more.

3268
01:52:41,679 --> 01:52:44,880
Does anybody know

3269
01:52:44,880 --> 01:52:48,080
on this new build is the demolition of

3270
01:52:48,080 --> 01:52:50,000
the old building included in that price

3271
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:50,639
tag?

3272
01:52:50,639 --> 01:52:51,760
>> Correct.

3273
01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:55,440
>> Once ultimately yes. Yeah, they went

3274
01:52:55,440 --> 01:52:56,639
Yeah, I went through he

3275
01:52:56,639 --> 01:52:58,239
>> I thought it was. I just wanted to make

3276
01:52:58,239 --> 01:52:58,800
sure

3277
01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:00,480
>> what they don't cover some of the things

3278
01:53:00,480 --> 01:53:02,320
they they don't cover. They don't cover

3279
01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:04,239
part of the things like uh

3280
01:53:04,239 --> 01:53:07,760
>> how about we um he did a whole thing

3281
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:08,960
>> presentation.

3282
01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:12,000
>> How about we find the YouTube video and

3283
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:14,560
I work with Becky on getting that

3284
01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:16,320
explained the whole thing.

3285
01:53:16,320 --> 01:53:16,960
>> It does.

3286
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:18,639
>> And we're trying to Right.

3287
01:53:18,639 --> 01:53:19,199
>> It does.

3288
01:53:19,199 --> 01:53:22,080
>> So all people for tonight need to do is

3289
01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:25,440
to take a basic if you have a $400,000

3290
01:53:25,440 --> 01:53:26,080
house

3291
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:29,040
>> Yep. somewhere in 3035. We're assuming

3292
01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:31,840
it will be using today's figures, we're

3293
01:53:31,840 --> 01:53:35,760
assuming it will be approximately $68 a

3294
01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:38,639
year on your tax bill.

3295
01:53:38,639 --> 01:53:39,199
>> Yeah.

3296
01:53:39,199 --> 01:53:42,480
>> But that's just taking a $400,000 house.

3297
01:53:42,480 --> 01:53:44,639
>> But if it might help people to

3298
01:53:44,639 --> 01:53:47,199
understand what was the explanation

3299
01:53:47,199 --> 01:53:49,760
behind it so that you know because

3300
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:52,800
either way we end up paying we've always

3301
01:53:52,800 --> 01:53:55,920
had capital costs that we pay into. This

3302
01:53:55,920 --> 01:53:58,400
is not a a new thing to be paying money

3303
01:53:58,400 --> 01:54:01,440
into Franklin County Tech. So, would it

3304
01:54:01,440 --> 01:54:02,880
be help? I'm just saying. Would it be

3305
01:54:02,880 --> 01:54:04,480
helpful if we got that YouTube and stuck

3306
01:54:04,480 --> 01:54:06,960
that up on the website? It just

3307
01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:08,320
basically explains everything.

3308
01:54:08,320 --> 01:54:10,320
>> Didn't the thing have tears

3309
01:54:10,320 --> 01:54:12,080
>> when the one he presented to us

3310
01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:12,800
different

3311
01:54:12,800 --> 01:54:14,800
>> originally. Then they had to do a vote.

3312
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:16,639
There's a lot on their website.

3313
01:54:16,639 --> 01:54:17,280
>> They did. Okay,

3314
01:54:17,280 --> 01:54:18,800
>> if you go to their website, there's a

3315
01:54:18,800 --> 01:54:22,320
tab that talks about this project and it

3316
01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:25,679
>> all of this stuff is on there, including

3317
01:54:25,679 --> 01:54:27,520
>> different breakdowns in the project.

3318
01:54:27,520 --> 01:54:29,280
There's a lot on their website, too. But

3319
01:54:29,280 --> 01:54:30,480
we could certainly look for that. I'm

3320
01:54:30,480 --> 01:54:32,480
not Would it have to be from our select

3321
01:54:32,480 --> 01:54:33,840
board meeting? You could go to our

3322
01:54:33,840 --> 01:54:35,119
select board meeting if we found the

3323
01:54:35,119 --> 01:54:37,599
date. You can go to the BNC website and

3324
01:54:37,599 --> 01:54:39,199
find

3325
01:54:39,199 --> 01:54:40,560
>> uh I don't know if it was a joint, but

3326
01:54:40,560 --> 01:54:41,920
it was with the finance committee for

3327
01:54:41,920 --> 01:54:42,239
sure.

3328
01:54:42,239 --> 01:54:43,119
>> I was back. Yeah,

3329
01:54:43,119 --> 01:54:44,400
>> I think it was a joint. It was

3330
01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:46,000
>> if we did that date, you can actually

3331
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:47,440
pull up that recording. It

3332
01:54:47,440 --> 01:54:49,199
>> It's just helpful because he explained

3333
01:54:49,199 --> 01:54:51,840
the Northfield figures in particular.

3334
01:54:51,840 --> 01:54:53,360
>> I remember when that was.

3335
01:54:53,360 --> 01:54:54,639
>> We It's in the minutes.

3336
01:54:54,639 --> 01:54:56,480
>> It was before Shane.

3337
01:54:56,480 --> 01:54:58,159
>> Pre-Shane.

3338
01:54:58,159 --> 01:54:58,560
>> BS.

3339
01:54:58,560 --> 01:54:59,599
>> Yes. Before Shane.

3340
01:54:59,599 --> 01:55:01,040
>> I like BS.

3341
01:55:01,040 --> 01:55:03,119
>> Oh, that's a good one. I use it all the

3342
01:55:03,119 --> 01:55:04,560
time. [laughter]

3343
01:55:04,560 --> 01:55:08,400
>> Oh, no. Okay, let's do let's try and

3344
01:55:08,400 --> 01:55:12,560
we've Okay. Uh, Finicky Farm LLC

3345
01:55:12,560 --> 01:55:16,800
nuisance dog court findings and order.

3346
01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:19,520
So, every

3347
01:55:19,520 --> 01:55:22,719
one has the court findings that we got a

3348
01:55:22,719 --> 01:55:24,800
couple of weeks ago and we are waiting

3349
01:55:24,800 --> 01:55:27,360
for the appeal period to be done before

3350
01:55:27,360 --> 01:55:32,229
discussing it publicly.

3351
01:55:32,239 --> 01:55:37,189
Did everyone have a chance to review?

3352
01:55:37,199 --> 01:55:39,599
And then I I did do a quick down and

3353
01:55:39,599 --> 01:55:43,599
dirty summary so that you could kind of

3354
01:55:43,599 --> 01:55:46,320
>> I just pulled the point straight off the

3355
01:55:46,320 --> 01:55:49,840
um magistrate's findings.

3356
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:51,599
>> I thought it would be helpful. Do you

3357
01:55:51,599 --> 01:55:53,679
want to review the findings out loud or

3358
01:55:53,679 --> 01:55:57,280
did you have questions about them?

3359
01:55:57,280 --> 01:56:01,199
>> People are asking what's happening.

3360
01:56:01,199 --> 01:56:03,520
Um, you know,

3361
01:56:03,520 --> 01:56:05,760
>> basically I said if you watch the old wy

3362
01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:08,320
coyote roadrunner cartoons, you you know

3363
01:56:08,320 --> 01:56:10,400
what's going on

3364
01:56:10,400 --> 01:56:14,239
with this. It's it's kind of laughable

3365
01:56:14,239 --> 01:56:16,400
this all this to try to catch that dog.

3366
01:56:16,400 --> 01:56:17,840
But yeah, I think they want to know

3367
01:56:17,840 --> 01:56:20,080
what's going on. I really do.

3368
01:56:20,080 --> 01:56:21,760
>> Okay, let's walk through it then.

3369
01:56:21,760 --> 01:56:22,560
>> Yeah.

3370
01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:26,159
>> Um, and I have been I reached out to the

3371
01:56:26,159 --> 01:56:28,159
neighbors as well. So everyone was

3372
01:56:28,159 --> 01:56:29,679
waiting

3373
01:56:29,679 --> 01:56:31,520
patiently,

3374
01:56:31,520 --> 01:56:35,760
expectantly for these findings. So um

3375
01:56:35,760 --> 01:56:37,920
what we got was a five-page document.

3376
01:56:37,920 --> 01:56:40,400
The first four pages are basically

3377
01:56:40,400 --> 01:56:42,480
recounting everything that people can go

3378
01:56:42,480 --> 01:56:44,880
back and watch at the dog hearing. Those

3379
01:56:44,880 --> 01:56:46,560
are all summarized because we had to

3380
01:56:46,560 --> 01:56:49,199
repeat all of that at the court appeal.

3381
01:56:49,199 --> 01:56:52,239
Um and I took part in that appeal

3382
01:56:52,239 --> 01:56:55,119
process. The court's conclusion which is

3383
01:56:55,119 --> 01:57:01,750
one basically one page is that

3384
01:57:01,760 --> 01:57:06,639
the petitioner who is the farm

3385
01:57:06,639 --> 01:57:10,480
he find it he found

3386
01:57:10,480 --> 01:57:12,639
that there were two parts of the select

3387
01:57:12,639 --> 01:57:15,119
board's order that he didn't agree with

3388
01:57:15,119 --> 01:57:17,440
for the farm. One had to do with

3389
01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:19,840
ordering the

3390
01:57:19,840 --> 01:57:23,199
um farm to actually

3391
01:57:23,199 --> 01:57:27,360
use a tracking tranquilizer dart. The

3392
01:57:27,360 --> 01:57:29,599
second thing was that there was no

3393
01:57:29,599 --> 01:57:31,199
evidence to support that the animal

3394
01:57:31,199 --> 01:57:33,040
control officer has the necessary

3395
01:57:33,040 --> 01:57:35,760
training or experience to pass judgment

3396
01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:38,560
in terms of the the portion of the order

3397
01:57:38,560 --> 01:57:42,560
that we uh required training. And I

3398
01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:44,480
talked to the animal control officer

3399
01:57:44,480 --> 01:57:46,880
yesterday and he said that kind of makes

3400
01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:48,639
sense to him because he doesn't have a

3401
01:57:48,639 --> 01:57:51,040
behavioral certification or anything

3402
01:57:51,040 --> 01:57:55,440
like that. So those two things were

3403
01:57:55,440 --> 01:57:59,199
found for the farm.

3404
01:57:59,199 --> 01:58:00,719
What

3405
01:58:00,719 --> 01:58:04,320
the um what the court did say is that

3406
01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:08,159
the town acted

3407
01:58:08,159 --> 01:58:10,239
the board's determination that Anna is a

3408
01:58:10,239 --> 01:58:15,750
nuisance dog was proper. Um

3409
01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:18,320
» he said without any doubt that you're

3410
01:58:18,320 --> 01:58:18,800
determined

3411
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:21,040
>> correct and equated to a finding that

3412
01:58:21,040 --> 01:58:23,440
there existed a significant quote

3413
01:58:23,440 --> 01:58:25,760
unquote a significant health and safety

3414
01:58:25,760 --> 01:58:28,950
concern.

3415
01:58:28,960 --> 01:58:35,030
Um

3416
01:58:35,040 --> 01:58:38,719
so then the court orders as follows. The

3417
01:58:38,719 --> 01:58:40,480
owner, meaning the farm, shall forth

3418
01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:42,639
with make a sincere and diligent effort

3419
01:58:42,639 --> 01:58:45,040
to capture Anna and shall on the first

3420
01:58:45,040 --> 01:58:46,880
of each month provide the select board

3421
01:58:46,880 --> 01:58:49,679
with a written report of any and all

3422
01:58:49,679 --> 01:58:52,159
efforts it is made to capture Anna,

3423
01:58:52,159 --> 01:58:55,760
including specifying dates of efforts,

3424
01:58:55,760 --> 01:58:57,920
specific efforts made, and time

3425
01:58:57,920 --> 01:59:01,840
committed for each effort to capture.

3426
01:59:01,840 --> 01:59:05,599
And if the Anna is captured by owner or

3427
01:59:05,599 --> 01:59:10,000
any other party, it he shall contact the

3428
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:11,840
select board and the Northfield Police

3429
01:59:11,840 --> 01:59:14,239
Department immediately.

3430
01:59:14,239 --> 01:59:16,480
And and I'm putting emphasis on the and

3431
01:59:16,480 --> 01:59:18,880
because this is a multi-art. Once

3432
01:59:18,880 --> 01:59:21,840
captured, Anna shall be turned over by

3433
01:59:21,840 --> 01:59:24,400
the owner or any other party in

3434
01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:26,000
possession of her to the town of

3435
01:59:26,000 --> 01:59:27,920
Northfield to be held spayed and

3436
01:59:27,920 --> 01:59:30,239
vaccinated. The cost to spay and

3437
01:59:30,239 --> 01:59:32,239
vaccinate Anna shall be assessed to the

3438
01:59:32,239 --> 01:59:36,560
owner and simultaneously

3439
01:59:36,560 --> 01:59:39,199
the town of Northfield may make

3440
01:59:39,199 --> 01:59:42,480
reasonable efforts to capture Anna and

3441
01:59:42,480 --> 01:59:44,400
that's what

3442
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:47,840
we and other people were looking for was

3443
01:59:47,840 --> 01:59:51,040
what is the town's right to do. So

3444
01:59:51,040 --> 01:59:53,520
that's been upheld. Upon capture of

3445
01:59:53,520 --> 01:59:57,360
Anna, the town of Northfield

3446
01:59:57,360 --> 02:00:00,000
shall contact the court to conduct a

3447
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:02,159
prompt hearing. So this means we would

3448
02:00:02,159 --> 02:00:04,080
have to go once Anna is captured, we

3449
02:00:04,080 --> 02:00:06,639
would have to go back to the court with

3450
02:00:06,639 --> 02:00:09,920
the owner, meaning the farm,

3451
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:13,599
and the court will set any and all

3452
02:00:13,599 --> 02:00:15,440
necessary future conditions to

3453
02:00:15,440 --> 02:00:17,840
adequately quote unquote ameliate the

3454
02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:21,760
nuisance behavior end quote.

3455
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:24,320
The town of Northfield, this includes

3456
02:00:24,320 --> 02:00:26,800
the select board/an animal control

3457
02:00:26,800 --> 02:00:30,080
officer, may take

3458
02:00:30,080 --> 02:00:33,119
any and all action to capture Anna with

3459
02:00:33,119 --> 02:00:35,920
owner responsible for all costs incurred

3460
02:00:35,920 --> 02:00:38,800
by the town and may take any and all

3461
02:00:38,800 --> 02:00:42,880
other legal action, criminal or civil,

3462
02:00:42,880 --> 02:00:44,960
that may be applicable to these facts

3463
02:00:44,960 --> 02:00:47,840
and circumstances. this magistrate shall

3464
02:00:47,840 --> 02:00:49,840
retain personal jurisdiction over said

3465
02:00:49,840 --> 02:00:51,599
matter.

3466
02:00:51,599 --> 02:00:54,080
>> So it's clear what the town can do. It's

3467
02:00:54,080 --> 02:00:58,400
also clear what the um firm

3468
02:00:58,400 --> 02:01:00,960
should be doing should have had done

3469
02:01:00,960 --> 02:01:02,560
already.

3470
02:01:02,560 --> 02:01:06,159
And um we can't order them to actually

3471
02:01:06,159 --> 02:01:08,000
tranquilize

3472
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:09,760
her.

3473
02:01:09,760 --> 02:01:12,960
Um and we can't order them if they do we

3474
02:01:12,960 --> 02:01:14,639
can't order them to get the dog

3475
02:01:14,639 --> 02:01:17,760
training. But everything else allows the

3476
02:01:17,760 --> 02:01:20,408
town to

3477
02:01:20,408 --> 02:01:21,760
[snorts]

3478
02:01:21,760 --> 02:01:24,480
make our own efforts and charge for said

3479
02:01:24,480 --> 02:01:26,800
efforts and then we have to circle back

3480
02:01:26,800 --> 02:01:35,430
to the court.

3481
02:01:35,440 --> 02:01:36,239
» Okay.

3482
02:01:36,239 --> 02:01:36,719
>> Yeah.

3483
02:01:36,719 --> 02:01:41,350
>> Anything?

3484
02:01:41,360 --> 02:01:43,840
» Um I will say that I have spoken to each

3485
02:01:43,840 --> 02:01:45,840
and every neighbor. I've kept them

3486
02:01:45,840 --> 02:01:49,360
updated at different points. Um, and

3487
02:01:49,360 --> 02:01:50,960
people who submitted the complaint, for

3488
02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:53,599
example,

3489
02:01:53,599 --> 02:01:57,360
and I've um they know about this meeting

3490
02:01:57,360 --> 02:01:59,440
and they know about the review of the

3491
02:01:59,440 --> 02:02:03,990
they know about the findings

3492
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:07,569
» as does the animal control officer.

3493
02:02:07,569 --> 02:02:09,119
>> [snorts]

3494
02:02:09,119 --> 02:02:10,560
>> So, I thought it'd be helpful if we

3495
02:02:10,560 --> 02:02:13,040
reviewed it so everybody knows that the

3496
02:02:13,040 --> 02:02:15,679
findings are back and that the town may

3497
02:02:15,679 --> 02:02:19,520
take any and all action to capture Anna.

3498
02:02:19,520 --> 02:02:21,760
I'm assuming based on social media posts

3499
02:02:21,760 --> 02:02:23,280
that [snorts] the farm continues to make

3500
02:02:23,280 --> 02:02:27,119
their own efforts. Um and as of October

3501
02:02:27,119 --> 02:02:29,360
1st

3502
02:02:29,360 --> 02:02:32,320
um they will have to submit since this

3503
02:02:32,320 --> 02:02:36,379
was dated September

3504
02:02:36,389 --> 02:02:37,440
[snorts]

3505
02:02:37,440 --> 02:02:39,679
dated September 1st

3506
02:02:39,679 --> 02:02:41,119
very last page.

3507
02:02:41,119 --> 02:02:42,960
>> Yeah. But we didn't get it on September

3508
02:02:42,960 --> 02:02:46,000
1st. So, um I'm assuming the farm will

3509
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:49,679
need to will need to supply

3510
02:02:49,679 --> 02:02:53,040
their report uh on October 1st which is

3511
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:55,679
coming up tomorrow

3512
02:02:55,679 --> 02:02:58,239
>> and it should have details in it per the

3513
02:02:58,239 --> 02:03:02,709
order.

3514
02:03:02,719 --> 02:03:04,480
» Best we can do right now.

3515
02:03:04,480 --> 02:03:09,119
>> Any questions for the lawyer

3516
02:03:09,119 --> 02:03:13,189
or

3517
02:03:13,199 --> 02:03:16,080
I'm looking at their plan trap here. So

3518
02:03:16,080 --> 02:03:18,719
hopefully that will work.

3519
02:03:18,719 --> 02:03:20,800
>> They're going to enclose it and I we'll

3520
02:03:20,800 --> 02:03:22,800
see. They're supposed to have it some

3521
02:03:22,800 --> 02:03:24,960
result by the 1st of October. So we'll

3522
02:03:24,960 --> 02:03:26,000
see what how that works.

3523
02:03:26,000 --> 02:03:27,440
>> When's October 1st? Tomorrow.

3524
02:03:27,440 --> 02:03:28,800
>> Tomorrow.

3525
02:03:28,800 --> 02:03:30,960
>> Day after day.

3526
02:03:30,960 --> 02:03:32,800
>> Today the 29th.

3527
02:03:32,800 --> 02:03:34,719
>> Oh, I guess tomorrow Friday.

3528
02:03:34,719 --> 02:03:37,360
>> Tomorrow's the 30th day after.

3529
02:03:37,360 --> 02:03:41,199
>> I have no comment on that document.

3530
02:03:41,199 --> 02:03:43,840
Okay.

3531
02:03:43,840 --> 02:03:46,639
Um, anything else on that?

3532
02:03:46,639 --> 02:03:47,760
>> No. Nope.

3533
02:03:47,760 --> 02:03:51,360
>> It's been a fun night of topics, you

3534
02:03:51,360 --> 02:03:54,880
guys. Okay. Um, highway surplus

3535
02:03:54,880 --> 02:03:58,960
equipment. We're going to declare.

3536
02:03:58,960 --> 02:04:00,639
Should have done that when Tom was here.

3537
02:04:00,639 --> 02:04:04,000
Darn it. Just for the fun. We're um So,

3538
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:08,080
Tom gave us a list. includes a chip box,

3539
02:04:08,080 --> 02:04:11,440
tire rims, a snow pusher,

3540
02:04:11,440 --> 02:04:13,599
a 2012 John Deere

3541
02:04:13,599 --> 02:04:14,800
>> mower.

3542
02:04:14,800 --> 02:04:17,840
>> Oh, look at that. What was it town hall?

3543
02:04:17,840 --> 02:04:19,199
>> Uh, don't think it's back out of

3544
02:04:19,199 --> 02:04:22,149
>> a 2012. [laughter]

3545
02:04:22,159 --> 02:04:26,320
» Probably huge. Uh, a sander body and a

3546
02:04:26,320 --> 02:04:29,760
what is a

3547
02:04:29,760 --> 02:04:33,520
>> PA? It's a PA, but what is something low

3548
02:04:33,520 --> 02:04:35,520
P? I don't know.

3549
02:04:35,520 --> 02:04:40,870
Okay. Low hot paver.

3550
02:04:40,880 --> 02:04:43,119
» Okay. I'll entertain a motion to approve

3551
02:04:43,119 --> 02:04:46,159
said um surplus equipment list.

3552
02:04:46,159 --> 02:04:46,800
>> So move.

3553
02:04:46,800 --> 02:04:47,599
>> Second.

3554
02:04:47,599 --> 02:04:48,639
>> All those in favor?

3555
02:04:48,639 --> 02:04:49,199
>> I.

3556
02:04:49,199 --> 02:04:52,159
So um just for those who don't know

3557
02:04:52,159 --> 02:04:54,159
that Tom and other departments because

3558
02:04:54,159 --> 02:04:56,639
we have another surplus um when they

3559
02:04:56,639 --> 02:04:59,679
have equipment that's old um if we

3560
02:04:59,679 --> 02:05:02,080
declared a surplus then they can sell

3561
02:05:02,080 --> 02:05:05,280
it, auction it off, give it away. So,

3562
02:05:05,280 --> 02:05:06,960
okay. So, we're going to do the same

3563
02:05:06,960 --> 02:05:08,960
thing. We have a surplus police

3564
02:05:08,960 --> 02:05:14,239
department vehicle. Uh, it is a 2009 GMC

3565
02:05:14,239 --> 02:05:16,800
Acadia. No longer needed by the police

3566
02:05:16,800 --> 02:05:19,119
department. We got it for free and it

3567
02:05:19,119 --> 02:05:21,520
has little to no value. Basically scrap

3568
02:05:21,520 --> 02:05:23,760
for the police chief. I'll entertain a
