1
00:00:33,010 --> 00:00:34,770
Okay, we're live.

2
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:54,860
Last meeting, we had, I wrote up the admittance, and I sent them out, and probably just before, at the end of August, and people, we talked about the old business, which was the same, uh, music, cold, the same castle, then we talked about draft and the river is going to be happening right after that meeting, which it did. And we were also talking about the plane here being, um, coming forward.

3
00:01:54,860 --> 00:01:59,800
Next is this coming Saturday and then we talked a little bit about the

4
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,860
acumenicus park and we concluded so has any if you had a chance to

5
00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:09,740
review with these minutes all of you okay anybody have any changes or questions

6
00:02:09,740 --> 00:02:14,460
on them okay let's get somebody make a recommendation to accept them make a

7
00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:24,840
motion to accept the minutes all second okay fine all in favor all right

8
00:02:29,450 --> 00:02:29,450
so

9
00:02:30,970 --> 00:02:36,750
Yes, we just like to have, if you have anything coming from the select board that you want

10
00:02:36,750 --> 00:02:42,150
to talk to us about, there's been things in a comfort breeze about, you know, this

11
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:47,770
type board wants to look at some of the committees and make some changes on how policies or

12
00:02:48,250 --> 00:02:49,070
how we do things.

13
00:02:49,210 --> 00:02:52,570
I mean, I read a comfort breeze and I was kind of surprised.

14
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:57,510
I didn't realize there were issues, but apparently there must be something going on.

15
00:02:57,510 --> 00:03:03,550
Are they looking at changes to the committees, the town?

16
00:03:05,570 --> 00:03:13,790
This is Heathville at Heathville at and I am your new select board liaison.

17
00:03:15,550 --> 00:03:20,050
Thank you. I hope to be here as often as I can be.

18
00:03:20,050 --> 00:03:34,230
I think on the select board has chosen about 20 priorities for us this year, based off of the comprehensive plan, based off of the select board member priorities.

19
00:03:36,290 --> 00:03:40,450
And so that's going to be our work and our charge.

20
00:03:41,530 --> 00:04:08,190
I think on the committees I think there will be a discussion coming up at our next meeting and I think the discussion is going to be how to collaborate and align better between the select board and committee so that there can be improved communication and improved information sharing improved

21
00:04:08,190 --> 00:04:18,830
to basically making sure that I think it's important that committees be supported in your work

22
00:04:18,830 --> 00:04:25,910
and be recognized for the work that you're doing. And so I think several of this board members,

23
00:04:25,910 --> 00:04:33,390
if not all, are very interested in a more collaborative effort. And I think there'll be opportunities

24
00:04:33,390 --> 00:04:35,190
to discuss what that might look like.

25
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:39,650
And yes, I think also what comes with that is accountability.

26
00:04:41,010 --> 00:04:42,730
So, you know, you guys set a budget.

27
00:04:43,890 --> 00:04:48,470
Hey, do we even look at it after the end of the year to verify that you've spent your budget

28
00:04:48,470 --> 00:04:49,770
on what you said you were going to?

29
00:04:49,870 --> 00:04:53,490
The budget review committee looks at that in depth when you pose your next budget.

30
00:04:54,230 --> 00:04:55,730
But I think that there's.

31
00:04:56,970 --> 00:05:01,090
There'll be discussions in the coming months more about how to collaborate better

32
00:05:01,090 --> 00:05:05,730
with between the select board and the town committees and all the work that you all do.

33
00:05:06,050 --> 00:05:10,790
So should we be at one of us be at that meeting to maybe answer questions or is that something that

34
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:16,890
we should wait and see? I don't think there's going to be anything specific about parks and rec

35
00:05:17,590 --> 00:05:23,810
discuss so to speak. I think it's across the board. What I know is being proposed is more of

36
00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:39,830
A work plan and what are your three to five priorities in over the next year, those types of things, and a process to share and discuss those between your committee and the select board.

37
00:05:41,370 --> 00:05:49,470
Just for your knowledge, my background is an accounting me, I'm not accounting and I ran a town and I was a business person for the town.

38
00:05:49,690 --> 00:05:51,930
So I need to see my budgets and accountability.

39
00:05:52,430 --> 00:05:54,410
And I enjoyed this as a priority.

40
00:05:55,150 --> 00:06:05,630
But I know myself, I request every month and look at a budget to actual numbers to make sure we're within a $40,000 allotment.

41
00:06:05,630 --> 00:06:07,730
That's give it to somebody around that number.

42
00:06:07,910 --> 00:06:10,130
They should we don't always spend that amount

43
00:06:10,130 --> 00:06:12,350
and everything else, okay?

44
00:06:12,530 --> 00:06:13,230
So, great.

45
00:06:13,610 --> 00:06:13,690
All right.

46
00:06:14,030 --> 00:06:15,010
That's the one thing.

47
00:06:15,450 --> 00:06:15,530
Yep.

48
00:06:16,810 --> 00:06:17,730
We'll do it anyway.

49
00:06:17,870 --> 00:06:19,090
I'll just do what he says here.

50
00:06:20,090 --> 00:06:24,950
I would like to see if the select board would discuss

51
00:06:26,210 --> 00:06:30,210
the type of payment we give to the performers.

52
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:33,370
There's been a lot of confusion.

53
00:06:33,370 --> 00:06:41,310
right now, you know, they sit on a contract and they can either do a direct deposit or by mail,

54
00:06:41,730 --> 00:06:49,450
mail takes, you know, a lot longer than a direct deposit, but even so, the direct deposit may take

55
00:06:49,450 --> 00:06:59,730
depending upon the bank and stuff. So what happens is that Linda and I get many phone calls all throughout

56
00:06:59,730 --> 00:07:05,690
the whole season lots of phone calls. I didn't get my check. Where's my check? I thought I did this

57
00:07:06,290 --> 00:07:14,810
is on the contract. It was much easier and the other towns do it is that they get a check after

58
00:07:14,810 --> 00:07:23,650
they perform. You know that we hand them a check. So I understand you know you have a system and

59
00:07:23,650 --> 00:07:28,790
you have an accounting system and it's electronic system and you hooked up to the bank and all

60
00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:36,670
these other things but it's a real inconvenience for not only the performers but it's a lot of work

61
00:07:36,670 --> 00:07:42,110
for Linda and I because we're always having to go back and check the contract we're having to go

62
00:07:42,110 --> 00:07:47,710
back and verify whether the payment went out maybe because it goes to two or three different people

63
00:07:47,710 --> 00:07:53,990
before it actually gets out and then someone has to sign them warrant so there's

64
00:07:55,330 --> 00:08:02,990
So I'm just bringing that before you to just put that in the back of your head, and I don't know how to address that, so.

65
00:08:04,010 --> 00:08:05,050
All right, thank you.

66
00:08:05,630 --> 00:08:18,490
The town, the town has made an attempt to make sure that people who perform and get reimbursed by the town also is accountable as far as getting a $10.99 at the end of the season.

67
00:08:18,990 --> 00:08:22,290
And then make sure they get it and they're in compliance with the law.

68
00:08:22,290 --> 00:08:34,950
So I do apply the attempt, but somehow the attempt is not matched up with what we thought would be the case, so that's something that we would be discussed probably in the future.

69
00:08:35,690 --> 00:08:37,230
All right, and I'm all set.

70
00:08:38,510 --> 00:08:48,550
the only thing that I'll say is one of the select board priorities, actually a few select board priorities that I think pertain to your committee.

71
00:08:50,210 --> 00:09:04,750
If you look at the discussions, certainly beautification of the town and looking at our parks and the resources for parks and what happens at our parks.

72
00:09:04,750 --> 00:09:14,330
there's a warrant article for a hundred thousand towards Agamentica's Park and our tennis

73
00:09:14,330 --> 00:09:20,810
and pickleball courts. I think you'll see that those are continuing to be the select board

74
00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:30,930
priorities. The other is this building. We now have an updated community center with offices that

75
00:09:30,930 --> 00:09:34,350
that's at Empty and a beautiful room here

76
00:09:34,350 --> 00:09:37,270
and I'm particularly interested in,

77
00:09:38,770 --> 00:09:40,490
and I think the select board is interested

78
00:09:40,490 --> 00:09:42,650
in working with your committee around

79
00:09:43,230 --> 00:09:45,710
what we, how we can utilize this space

80
00:09:45,710 --> 00:09:49,030
as a community center moving forward.

81
00:09:49,830 --> 00:09:50,350
Good.

82
00:09:50,650 --> 00:09:51,150
You have a question?

83
00:09:52,450 --> 00:09:54,750
There's a room down the hall that says parks and rec.

84
00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:56,370
How do we get access to it?

85
00:09:56,690 --> 00:09:57,130
I don't know.

86
00:09:57,330 --> 00:09:57,810
I'll find out.

87
00:09:57,810 --> 00:10:00,790
that. Where is it? I haven't

88
00:10:00,790 --> 00:10:01,890
seen that. It's with the

89
00:10:01,890 --> 00:10:02,850
back of me. It's at the end

90
00:10:02,850 --> 00:10:04,430
of the hall on the left. It's

91
00:10:04,430 --> 00:10:05,530
as Parks and Rec and we would

92
00:10:05,530 --> 00:10:06,890
love that for storage because

93
00:10:06,890 --> 00:10:08,570
we have stuff in all of our

94
00:10:08,570 --> 00:10:11,710
homes in this front hallway. This

95
00:10:12,430 --> 00:10:14,310
front hallway. Get down the

96
00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:15,670
hall last door on the left. It's

97
00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:17,270
as Parks and Rec. The last time

98
00:10:17,270 --> 00:10:18,490
I saw the sign that was for

99
00:10:18,970 --> 00:10:20,350
CSOs staff room. Isn't that

100
00:10:20,350 --> 00:10:23,030
on the right? I don't know. I'll

101
00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:24,210
look after this meeting. But

102
00:10:24,210 --> 00:10:25,430
but that's what I thought I saw.

103
00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:26,850
And on the blueprint.

104
00:10:27,870 --> 00:10:28,710
Good to know.

105
00:10:29,070 --> 00:10:29,430
Good work.

106
00:10:30,510 --> 00:10:31,570
Building looks great.

107
00:10:31,830 --> 00:10:32,510
Thank you very much.

108
00:10:32,510 --> 00:10:33,970
It came up really nice to building.

109
00:10:34,270 --> 00:10:35,010
It's beautiful.

110
00:10:35,330 --> 00:10:36,350
Nice question about the basement.

111
00:10:37,150 --> 00:10:38,890
You can ask, I don't know if I have an answer.

112
00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:39,230
Yeah.

113
00:10:40,170 --> 00:10:42,090
Is there a plan to finish it any time soon?

114
00:10:43,690 --> 00:10:46,690
I think that it'll be up for lots of discussions,

115
00:10:46,690 --> 00:10:50,090
including how to raise the funds to finish off the basement.

116
00:10:51,270 --> 00:10:51,630
Thank you.

117
00:10:52,450 --> 00:10:53,330
Thank you very much.

118
00:10:53,330 --> 00:10:53,950
Thank you.

119
00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:54,850
Thank you.

120
00:10:55,150 --> 00:10:55,290
All right.

121
00:10:55,450 --> 00:11:05,490
At this time, I want to talk about the various programs that we have updates.

122
00:11:05,730 --> 00:11:07,990
And the first one I want to do is the plain air update.

123
00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:09,170
We want to jump right to that.

124
00:11:09,390 --> 00:11:13,010
And on Zoom right now is going to be Jen Lua.

125
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:19,210
And she's going to be able to start talking to us and discuss where we are with this plain air event,

126
00:11:19,210 --> 00:11:25,130
which is going to be held this Saturday, September 12th, and we're going to be working

127
00:11:25,130 --> 00:11:28,130
out of the Perkins Cove. So, Jenny, are you available to talk?

128
00:11:28,650 --> 00:11:34,970
I am. Yes, the event will open up to the artist to register from 6 to 8 a.m.

129
00:11:35,810 --> 00:11:40,810
They'll be able to paint all day. They need to be back in Perkins Cove to set up,

130
00:11:41,370 --> 00:11:48,730
to be judged by 115. And we hope to have the judging down and start doing the national anthem

131
00:11:48,730 --> 00:11:51,590
them in the awards starting it around two o'clock.

132
00:11:52,110 --> 00:11:52,930
Do you say that's righty?

133
00:11:54,110 --> 00:11:54,970
Yes, that's correct.

134
00:11:55,030 --> 00:11:55,130
Yep.

135
00:11:56,630 --> 00:11:59,510
So we've got about 137 artists.

136
00:12:00,470 --> 00:12:03,770
We've had some cancellations, some new additions back

137
00:12:03,770 --> 00:12:07,570
and forth that's divided up pretty much evenly

138
00:12:07,570 --> 00:12:09,290
between the amateurs and the professionals.

139
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:14,810
And we've got a band from 10 to 1 in the rotary park,

140
00:12:14,810 --> 00:12:17,230
and then we have another band from 1 to 5

141
00:12:17,230 --> 00:12:23,970
kind of out on the dock so there'll be music all day and I think we're in pretty

142
00:12:23,970 --> 00:12:30,620
good shape. Got lots of volunteers everyone's been helping looking forward to

143
00:12:30,620 --> 00:12:31,060
good weather.

144
00:12:34,140 --> 00:12:38,120
That's the big surprise. What looking forward at the weather?

145
00:12:39,020 --> 00:12:45,740
Saddy's supposed to be 70 and all sunny. It's kind of all about the weather because

146
00:12:45,740 --> 00:12:54,680
everything changes if that's so. Yeah. That's great. And you're happy with all your volunteers

147
00:12:54,680 --> 00:13:00,720
and you're all set for it, huh? Yes. Yeah. Everybody's been great. You know, we've already started

148
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:07,260
a gaming show and some other volunteers have put up all the signage yesterday. It looks beautiful.

149
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:14,260
And we're getting there. The artists are showing up, walking around, calling, you know, asking questions

150
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:22,300
and we've got some new people this year too, new to the event, which is good, so I think

151
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:23,020
it's going to go well.

152
00:13:26,090 --> 00:13:26,490
Thank you.

153
00:13:26,490 --> 00:13:27,190
Do you have anything to add?

154
00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:36,390
I would just say that without the DPW and the town, the people who voted for our budget

155
00:13:37,210 --> 00:13:43,510
and this committee and the volunteers, this event won't happen.

156
00:13:44,970 --> 00:13:52,590
This is huge. I don't think people understand until you're in it. How much is involved in

157
00:13:52,590 --> 00:13:59,490
it? We've pretty much got it really well organized, but it's taken us five, possibly

158
00:13:59,490 --> 00:14:01,930
six years. I think it's, is it five years or six years, trimmer?

159
00:14:01,930 --> 00:14:02,470
This is six.

160
00:14:02,830 --> 00:14:03,410
This is six.

161
00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:11,010
This is six year. I mean, it is, it's an amazing event for volunteers to put together. And

162
00:14:11,010 --> 00:14:14,590
and the amount of people that come and enjoy it.

163
00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:16,150
I mean, we were on the margin of way yesterday

164
00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:18,610
and we had two women stop and they can't wait.

165
00:14:19,690 --> 00:14:22,290
So, the DVU is down in the code.

166
00:14:22,630 --> 00:14:25,430
I'm leaving pieces and it takes a lot of people

167
00:14:25,430 --> 00:14:26,550
to make this work.

168
00:14:27,470 --> 00:14:29,410
And I think everyone who helps us,

169
00:14:29,730 --> 00:14:31,350
as well as Jennifer does too, I'm sure,

170
00:14:31,690 --> 00:14:32,590
but it's a lot.

171
00:14:32,990 --> 00:14:33,670
It's a real lot.

172
00:14:34,350 --> 00:14:37,910
Yeah, and we thank you Amy and Jennifer

173
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:39,090
for everything that you do

174
00:14:39,090 --> 00:14:41,150
because you carried the bulk of the weight.

175
00:14:42,310 --> 00:14:44,550
I mean, yesterday we had two guys

176
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:45,930
who'd never been involved in it at all

177
00:14:45,930 --> 00:14:48,010
and they helped us tremendously.

178
00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:51,630
Bill Woods and I only know Mike from Woodbury Lane,

179
00:14:51,770 --> 00:14:52,630
Michael from Woodbury Lane,

180
00:14:52,670 --> 00:14:54,030
that's what I have in my phone as,

181
00:14:54,350 --> 00:14:56,110
but those are the people that you meet

182
00:14:56,110 --> 00:14:57,870
and they say, put me in your phone

183
00:14:57,870 --> 00:14:59,810
and call me next year and that's what we did.

184
00:15:00,270 --> 00:15:18,950
And it was amazing. Yeah, nice and tall. Yes. In this committee, of course, everyone on the committee takes a lot of help. It does. In turn, from DPW has been fantastic. It's amazing. Yeah, there's a lot too.

185
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:42,380
I'm going to go on in my dad's. I'll see you guys on Saturday okay. Yeah. Okay.

186
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:58,100
Who was performing from 10 to 1 on the, uh, on the, uh, on the, uh, 10 to 1 is bow, okay, Leo and his, uh, his, uh, his group and, um, in the afternoon is Lisa Mills in the ocean band.

187
00:15:58,540 --> 00:15:59,100
Oh, okay.

188
00:16:02,380 --> 00:16:05,420
What does she play?

189
00:16:06,260 --> 00:16:08,680
It's just called, uh, Lisa Mills in the ocean.

190
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,640
Time is she 1 to 1 to 5.

191
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,460
I can't wait for it. I can't wait to say it really. So much has happened.

192
00:16:20,460 --> 00:16:23,580
You're yelling at us, Freddie. You're in charge of the movement.

193
00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:29,380
I think I'll be giving something. I don't know. I'm feeling better.

194
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:35,240
I'm feeling better. All right. No other questions. So on that, that's great.

195
00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:42,400
On music program, how are we doing over there? We have just a recap for the year.

196
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:50,560
The last program was, all programs were very good, just a couple that didn't have big crowds

197
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:57,500
but due to the weather and that was probably it but they were good.

198
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:03,220
But the last program was Southside Blues and they packed the park and everybody loved

199
00:17:03,220 --> 00:17:03,520
them.

200
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,440
I mean, they played all around the place.

201
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,980
They played the night before at the Levit and still people came.

202
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:10,840
They were dancing.

203
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,500
And we just had a lot, this year we had a lot of people dance and get involved.

204
00:17:16,380 --> 00:17:21,180
And that I'm singing and the tribute band was very good.

205
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:29,520
You know, the beach thing worked out really good.

206
00:17:29,940 --> 00:17:36,120
You know, that Amy had the idea for that worked out really good with both and his group.

207
00:17:36,420 --> 00:17:41,710
And so it's been a great year for you really.

208
00:17:41,710 --> 00:17:45,950
a lot of work, a lot of work and so on.

209
00:17:46,610 --> 00:17:47,990
How many artists do we have?

210
00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:52,290
All the 30 artists, 40 artists, wow, incredible.

211
00:17:53,510 --> 00:18:02,230
Some of them go about becoming back, but I mean they're already calling me because they're

212
00:18:02,230 --> 00:18:11,130
looking out for next year, I'm just trying to modify it, make it easier and less and

213
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,520
make it much easier.

214
00:18:17,020 --> 00:18:17,180
Okay.

215
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,860
I'd like to explore maybe having three.

216
00:18:20,660 --> 00:18:25,160
One band in June, one band in July, one band in August at the beach.

217
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:25,700
Okay.

218
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,500
After Beau was there, I had a tremendous amount of people come up to me

219
00:18:30,980 --> 00:18:34,280
and tell me how they're excited they were and how fantastic it was.

220
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,880
I think if we could figure out a way to do it,

221
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,260
I think we would have

222
00:18:39,260 --> 00:18:44,800
a thousand people down there. I don't think I'm exaggerating. If we had it, it's a clock

223
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:51,780
in a Sunday night. If we advertise live bands on the beach, we would have a tremendous

224
00:18:51,780 --> 00:18:58,300
turnout. I mean, that day was so fun. People were dancing in the sand. It was fantastic.

225
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:06,740
Did you want to have an event? No, I think if we just, I mean, apply would thing that the

226
00:19:06,740 --> 00:19:11,280
guy from Bose band told me he said if you have four pieces of plywood that go down we

227
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:17,120
don't need a stage that's strong you know that's that holds us all and holds the

228
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:23,240
equipment you don't have to worry about the sand they had the best time there they

229
00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:28,560
just absolutely loved it the three of them and they feel like what's the date next

230
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:34,060
year they had the best time so and I just think the music down there with that you

231
00:19:34,060 --> 00:19:41,160
bring your beach shit down. You know, you can bring a little cooler with some some diet coke and some

232
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:47,060
lemonade and something to eat. I think people would love that. I want to stay there Sunday night.

233
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:54,960
I think we could get we could we could spend more on a band. You know, and I think it would and it

234
00:19:54,960 --> 00:20:01,260
would entice people from all over town to go down to the beach. When the parking lot's not too

235
00:20:01,260 --> 00:20:05,840
and the bathrooms, you can get a piece of delivery down there, all those sorts of things.

236
00:20:06,060 --> 00:20:08,180
I think it would bring the community together.

237
00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:10,520
Yeah. Heath, is that something?

238
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,240
Obviously, we need approval from the select board.

239
00:20:21,610 --> 00:20:22,190
Thank you.

240
00:20:24,030 --> 00:20:27,730
Uh, likely approval, I don't know if it's actually from the select board or not,

241
00:20:28,050 --> 00:20:29,490
but I can find out more details.

242
00:20:29,810 --> 00:20:33,130
If you could, yeah, if we need to get Matt's approval or your approval of both,

243
00:20:33,410 --> 00:20:34,910
we can start working on it.

244
00:20:35,190 --> 00:20:35,790
Worth discussing.

245
00:20:36,350 --> 00:20:36,430
Yeah.

246
00:20:36,790 --> 00:20:37,050
Wonderful.

247
00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:37,570
Thank you.

248
00:20:37,830 --> 00:20:38,190
Thanks.

249
00:20:40,660 --> 00:20:41,200
All right.

250
00:20:42,460 --> 00:20:47,300
question for I and you did you say you want to help booking the music in the

251
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:53,520
cove next year? Yeah. Okay. I think we'll talk about that. Okay. You'll be

252
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,240
working with Rick on that. Yeah, I can. Yeah. Okay, great. Yeah. I'd be

253
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:03,740
fond of you. Wonderful. My my thinking was to make it really simple. You know

254
00:21:03,740 --> 00:21:11,660
when people like Bo and Emica put them in more, you know, and a couple of the

255
00:21:11,660 --> 00:21:18,060
and maybe not two Saturdays, it's a lot of work and this may get a lot simpler.

256
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:25,960
I think if the two of you are going to work on the ban stuff, I want you to actually put together a real budget on what it's going to cost.

257
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:37,940
So if you want to do the three events, one in June, July and August, I support that, but I also want you to know what's going to cost because we don't have, we have a budget of $40,000.

258
00:21:37,940 --> 00:21:41,920
dollars. Well, we can go high with the budget. We could. If we're offering to people something.

259
00:21:42,260 --> 00:21:52,040
Yeah. I don't think I think the stuff that we're doing is is is people are very interested in it.

260
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:57,220
And I don't think it's something we're not going to go up a ton. But I think asking for a little bit

261
00:21:57,220 --> 00:22:05,660
more money to have quality big events that everyone can enjoy. And I think it's it's a no-brainer.

262
00:22:05,660 --> 00:22:22,400
and we have the Venmo account now, which goes right into our personal account, not our personal account, but it goes into a box and rack account that would offset maybe even some of the cost people wouldn't, you know,

263
00:22:23,940 --> 00:22:28,220
Well, like I said, we can play around with our existing budget as well.

264
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:35,620
We can eliminate, let's say, three Saturdays in the cove and take that money and add to

265
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,360
bigger bands that play on the beach.

266
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:45,180
We also have the enterprise fund and we just need to, you guys have to put together a plan

267
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:52,360
and dollarize it, dollarize it, and if it's another $4,000, $5,000 more, we have to

268
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:54,040
ask the town, then we'll have support.

269
00:22:54,140 --> 00:22:56,040
We have to have something that we just don't,

270
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,780
I don't want that to be a wish and to be a plan.

271
00:22:58,940 --> 00:23:00,440
Okay, so that's all they, that's what they need.

272
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,720
When we get a stick to the budget numbers,

273
00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:04,500
last year I had a budget and then I got money taken away

274
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:05,880
from my budget to put somewhere else.

275
00:23:06,140 --> 00:23:06,240
Yeah.

276
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,260
So we want to put that back.

277
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:10,720
And I'm scrambling.

278
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:11,980
We want to prevent that.

279
00:23:12,380 --> 00:23:14,780
No way, if someone puts a budget together,

280
00:23:15,380 --> 00:23:17,040
it's, yeah, that's what we got to ask.

281
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,380
You know, I think the problems that we're doing

282
00:23:19,380 --> 00:23:22,500
are fantastic and I don't think, you know,

283
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:27,740
Now, taking from one to be given to another is necessarily what needs to get done.

284
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:28,660
No, no.

285
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,900
I think we need accountability with the budget that we need to report every month to see

286
00:23:33,900 --> 00:23:34,620
where we're at.

287
00:23:35,180 --> 00:23:36,360
And we don't get that.

288
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:36,760
No, I don't.

289
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:37,200
That's fine.

290
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:37,660
Bob.

291
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,960
That's going to be worked on by the select board.

292
00:23:40,140 --> 00:23:42,840
They're going to get, we're going to get that under control, I believe, OK?

293
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:44,960
And let them let them do that.

294
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:46,100
All right.

295
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,020
Anything else on this?

296
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:48,360
OK.

297
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:48,580
Music.

298
00:23:49,220 --> 00:23:51,640
That's pretty good discussion right here.

299
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:56,880
I'm glad to see that two of you are going to work together and to put this out next year.

300
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:00,560
Raff's in the river. What happened?

301
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:08,780
Well, a good time was had by all. We got out of our 88 Raff's, 88 registered groups.

302
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:16,840
Representing at least 300 people. It was amazing. There was probably 150 people on the bridge

303
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,580
watching all the people along the shore.

304
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:21,460
I have-

305
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:26,440
At tremendous amount of people donate, we spent very little money.

306
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,220
I don't want to list everybody, but we did list everybody on our website who to thank,

307
00:24:33,220 --> 00:24:34,560
because I don't want to forget anybody.

308
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,880
But there wasn't one business I asked that didn't say yes.

309
00:24:38,660 --> 00:24:42,180
Some of them we bought, and then they donated the other half of them.

310
00:24:42,260 --> 00:24:45,280
So if we got ten, we bought ten, and they gave 20.

311
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:58,220
They gave 10. So we had tons of prizes and everyone was so happy and everyone's already asking when it's going to be next year so they can be available and thinking about what they're after is going to be about.

312
00:24:58,620 --> 00:24:59,180
So it was fun.

313
00:24:59,460 --> 00:25:00,420
Fun had by all.

314
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:07,100
It was on a beautiful, beautiful day, which we left out about and everyone was helpful.

315
00:25:07,460 --> 00:25:14,280
Again, the committee steps up and helps and the DPW is right there along with us.

316
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,740
We had a wonderful talk about the town.

317
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:19,740
The DPW has been wonderful for us this year.

318
00:25:20,660 --> 00:25:23,940
And also the lifeguides in the fire department

319
00:25:24,620 --> 00:25:28,600
just did a wonderful job with the rap from the river.

320
00:25:29,180 --> 00:25:31,000
That was quite an idea of the ship.

321
00:25:31,140 --> 00:25:32,540
The river was moving a little bit faster.

322
00:25:34,140 --> 00:25:36,200
And we have people going a little bit further

323
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,120
than we really wanted them to do.

324
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,480
But as we were pulling them out of the water,

325
00:25:40,820 --> 00:25:43,100
they were just having so much fun.

326
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:49,500
It was just so enjoyable to see the smiles on their faces and wanting to get back and do it

327
00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:55,340
again. I think Nick's ship is just going to grow and grow. This is something that Amy brought to

328
00:25:55,340 --> 00:26:02,020
us about two years ago to talk about doing this rafting the river. This is something that was

329
00:26:02,020 --> 00:26:09,500
enjoyed by everybody at town many, many years ago. Someone came with a t-shirt from the 80s.

330
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:13,440
from the 80s. Wow. Yeah. They probably wore their t-shirt from the 80s.

331
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,260
It was fantastic. Yeah.

332
00:26:17,580 --> 00:26:21,980
Yeah. Okay. The next

333
00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:25,370
thing on the gender is a

334
00:26:25,370 --> 00:26:30,050
banquet fest update. Anything, anything been put together on that yet? No.

335
00:26:30,330 --> 00:26:34,570
There's nothing. Well, I mean, there's a few situations. First and foremost,

336
00:26:35,130 --> 00:26:38,890
we do not have the what we'd parking lot to use as a gathering place for the parade.

337
00:26:39,390 --> 00:26:44,670
So we have to make a decision if we're going to continue to have the parade, it might have to get moved.

338
00:26:45,830 --> 00:26:51,650
I don't think that area is going to be the best place to gather as it's going to probably construct an equipment, etc.

339
00:26:53,330 --> 00:27:07,410
So we could either move it up to whistling oyster lane and the kids could walk down that way or we can just not do the parade and just have trick of treating from 10 to 12 in the rocks.

340
00:27:07,410 --> 00:27:08,910
Are you planning on doing those?

341
00:27:09,250 --> 00:27:15,950
Well, so I wanted to talk about this today because we don't have enough rocks that are left.

342
00:27:16,410 --> 00:27:19,650
So, and we don't necessarily have a budget to buy them.

343
00:27:20,270 --> 00:27:20,930
We do have money.

344
00:27:20,930 --> 00:27:21,990
Do we have money?

345
00:27:21,990 --> 00:27:22,430
We do have money.

346
00:27:22,630 --> 00:27:22,790
Okay.

347
00:27:23,050 --> 00:27:23,990
I budget following.

348
00:27:24,510 --> 00:27:25,150
Okay, yes.

349
00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:30,710
So, should I start making phone calls to landscaping companies, or do you recommend one that you

350
00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:31,650
got them from before?

351
00:27:32,310 --> 00:27:34,870
I mean, Wayne Griffin always donated them.

352
00:27:35,730 --> 00:27:36,470
He donated them.

353
00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:40,490
I didn't have a way to get in touch with Wayne Griffin while he he owns houses in a banquet

354
00:27:41,810 --> 00:27:45,370
Patton does this landscaping so I could ask Nolan Patton or

355
00:27:46,110 --> 00:27:49,850
You could maybe get in touch with with to see where he got the rocks from

356
00:27:50,570 --> 00:27:57,330
Okay, but Wayne Wayne's always for the last six years given a straws that usually last two to three years

357
00:27:57,330 --> 00:28:00,970
But we're at the end of the we're at the end of the last donation that he gave

358
00:28:01,510 --> 00:28:03,470
So do you want me to call John Patton?

359
00:28:04,530 --> 00:28:05,830
It's not John it's Nolan

360
00:28:06,850 --> 00:28:28,910
No, it works for Mr. Griffin Oh, do you have Nolan? No, I do not have his number. Okay. Um Scott Halen who is wings. He's his like overseer on a document. I can give you I think that works for Wayne. What's his lesson?

361
00:28:28,910 --> 00:28:29,510
Griffin.

362
00:28:31,530 --> 00:28:37,090
And he's the one that's always donated the rocks. Okay. So after the meeting, we'll talk about a plan.

363
00:28:37,130 --> 00:28:41,970
The other thing. If we decide the rocks that too much, we could get pumpkins.

364
00:28:45,860 --> 00:28:49,140
We could get pumpkins. We could. So that was just a thought.

365
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,020
So if the rocks, it's because of whatever is rocks are really, really expensive.

366
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,660
Oh, that's okay. Well, let's do this. Let's make an inquiry. Yeah.

367
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:11,380
And then we can also alternatively find a farm that maybe we can get, you know, a wholesale kind of discount. Yeah, and the thing is, we won't need them to write before and that's only a week for Halloween.

368
00:29:11,580 --> 00:29:16,720
So maybe there might be places that I was just trying to think of something that was an alternative to the rocks.

369
00:29:17,020 --> 00:29:21,420
I also need volunteer. So my sisters help last year, but unfortunately, both of them are going to be out of town.

370
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:34,440
So, um, I'll put you in a second. I can do this a lot of that. Yeah, it's Saturday, October, October. No, it's the weekend. No, 24, 24.

371
00:29:34,700 --> 00:29:39,540
But we need a lot of volunteers, we need like eight. Well, I can get away with five.

372
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,600
Well, we had a two on the other side of the bridge too.

373
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:48,420
We had Amy and Julie on the right side. I forgot about them and they were a big help. Yes, they were. Yeah, they were a big help.

374
00:29:48,420 --> 00:29:54,820
And I think they may come back. I can ask Julie. Okay, so we need seven minimal eight. Yes, would be great

375
00:29:54,820 --> 00:29:57,960
So with just two right now I need more

376
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:01,240
Okay.

377
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:30,460
Okay. I've been out of town next, next thing on the agenda is the Accompanicus Park. All right, has anybody, have you had any feedback from anybody from Accompanicus Park or Michelle? No, just what I read on, um, team reach. Okay, I know they get together the tennis group and the pick-a-ball group working together to do to pull pull.

378
00:30:30,460 --> 00:30:49,640
to find out what the warrant is going to be the number and to put some literature out there for people to vote up and down on the, I think the proposal and I was going to be for $100,000 for the upgrade to the, I've gone on to the slick board and I've read how it's going to read.

379
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:56,620
Yeah, and I think they they've done a lot of behind-the-scenes work relative to trying to have a

380
00:30:56,620 --> 00:30:59,420
Scramble they're gonna do something that they make

381
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:07,400
Yeah, they're doing two sessions. Yeah, but they didn't have me the second sign up was not that great

382
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,500
So they're not gonna do it they're not gonna do a second one

383
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:11,200
Yeah, and then I think the

384
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,240
The idea where they could hold signs up like you know around town

385
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,300
they just, you know, they just can't go where they were, where they were, where they were

386
00:31:19,300 --> 00:31:23,860
light, so there's a lot of restrictions on that, which is fine. Right. So can you explain

387
00:31:23,860 --> 00:31:29,000
what the ordinance says? Because I'm not pretty, I don't know. So is the ordinance based, I'm not

388
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:37,100
the ordinance, is the one article saying would you vote to, I can try to Google it to look it up

389
00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:42,500
right now. I don't know what off the top of my head, but it definitely says $100,000. It's easy to read

390
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:45,660
is a yes or a no? Because you know, sometimes yes is what I know.

391
00:31:45,660 --> 00:31:47,080
In my opinion, yes. Okay.

392
00:31:50,010 --> 00:31:51,930
And it's for both pickleball and tennis.

393
00:31:52,310 --> 00:32:00,110
It's for the three tennis courts. And then what I don't know, because I, Bob, I've offered to

394
00:32:00,110 --> 00:32:04,330
attend these meetings that these, these groups are having. And I've never been invited. No one has

395
00:32:04,330 --> 00:32:09,670
ever reached out to me. So I am more than happy. Yes, I would, I would, show it gets it all the times.

396
00:32:09,790 --> 00:32:13,190
That's how I know a little bit about the interview. Right. So if you could ask Cheryl.

397
00:32:13,190 --> 00:32:18,710
I'm not a part of it myself either, but I'll less show this to me what they're discussing, so-

398
00:32:18,710 --> 00:32:22,570
You know, if they meet privately or go down to the park and-

399
00:32:22,570 --> 00:32:22,750
They did?

400
00:32:23,510 --> 00:32:33,670
Okay, okay, all right, once you come up, Kay Moore is here and she represents the tennis portion of this

401
00:32:34,230 --> 00:32:36,650
and pickables, too, because, yeah.

402
00:32:40,950 --> 00:32:44,010
I know you do, yeah.

403
00:32:45,150 --> 00:32:50,950
Anyway, so I wanted to just quickly bring you up today to see who you are, so people that are watching.

404
00:32:51,430 --> 00:32:51,490
Yeah.

405
00:33:01,050 --> 00:33:01,710
I'm on TV.

406
00:33:02,330 --> 00:33:02,850
Yeah.

407
00:33:05,510 --> 00:33:19,090
So, I was on the Parks and Rec Committee for three years, and it's the first time in a long time that I've come in person, but I do, I do watch the video.

408
00:33:19,630 --> 00:33:25,030
I don't watch it that day, but you know, when I have time, I do watch all your videos. So, thank you.

409
00:33:28,370 --> 00:33:38,690
The warrant, and he says here, the warrant has been unanimously approved by not only the

410
00:33:38,690 --> 00:33:41,710
concrete select board, but the budget review board.

411
00:33:42,510 --> 00:33:50,530
And so we are, this is a full court press between the tennis and the pickleball people.

412
00:33:50,530 --> 00:34:00,970
We feel that this is an extraordinary opportunity to get the courts fixed in very dire shape.

413
00:34:01,630 --> 00:34:07,690
Be cracks, you can see through the top layer down to the bottom layer.

414
00:34:08,750 --> 00:34:17,410
So hopefully the town, the voters will definitely come out and vote for us, hopefully.

415
00:34:17,410 --> 00:34:23,010
But that's going to take a lot of work and so I'm just going to quickly do and the reason

416
00:34:23,010 --> 00:34:31,550
I'm here is really because to see how parks and rec and the tennis and pickleball players

417
00:34:31,550 --> 00:34:34,230
can get this across the finish line.

418
00:34:35,470 --> 00:34:43,990
So my questions to you are we do have the lawn signs are ready to go that we just need to

419
00:34:43,990 --> 00:34:47,830
have a confirmation that it will be warrant number four.

420
00:34:49,250 --> 00:34:50,690
Christmasy is working on that.

421
00:34:51,270 --> 00:34:53,770
We have flyers that we will put on.

422
00:34:53,930 --> 00:34:57,130
We're doing a postcard, and I'll just do this.

423
00:34:57,630 --> 00:35:02,430
And the postcard does say the warrant says

424
00:35:02,430 --> 00:35:05,190
for the restoration or repair, specifically

425
00:35:05,190 --> 00:35:10,290
for the courts, and so this would be a postcard that

426
00:35:10,290 --> 00:35:13,530
will hand out, and it has our pictures, which

427
00:35:20,970 --> 00:35:35,090
I'm glad you brought up October fest, because I would like to see if we can, is October fest just a parks and wreck thing or it is a chamber also chamber.

428
00:35:35,090 --> 00:35:35,550
Okay.

429
00:35:36,010 --> 00:35:36,230
Okay.

430
00:35:36,750 --> 00:35:37,130
Okay.

431
00:35:37,370 --> 00:35:37,690
Gosh.

432
00:35:37,750 --> 00:35:38,410
With the beach.

433
00:35:39,290 --> 00:35:40,730
I fear a craft fear.

434
00:35:41,190 --> 00:35:41,410
Okay.

435
00:35:42,110 --> 00:35:42,950
And we have the.

436
00:35:43,390 --> 00:35:45,650
Then there's a Halloween turkey treating Friday night.

437
00:35:45,790 --> 00:35:45,870
Right.

438
00:35:45,990 --> 00:35:49,270
And they have the little Halloween thing in Perkins Colman Saturday.

439
00:35:49,430 --> 00:35:49,610
Okay.

440
00:35:49,790 --> 00:35:51,570
So that's the Parks and Rec kind of thing.

441
00:35:52,050 --> 00:35:52,310
Okay.

442
00:35:53,330 --> 00:35:54,590
Can I ask you a quick question, Kay?

443
00:35:54,770 --> 00:35:54,890
Yeah.

444
00:35:54,970 --> 00:35:55,050
Sure.

445
00:35:55,110 --> 00:35:56,210
I'm just going to ask one other question.

446
00:35:56,450 --> 00:35:56,890
Do we have.

447
00:35:57,110 --> 00:35:58,250
Do we have a table.

448
00:35:59,110 --> 00:35:59,910
At October,

449
00:35:59,910 --> 00:36:08,550
over Festa, do they have kiosks that you go down and spend money on silvanaires and

450
00:36:08,550 --> 00:36:09,050
things or?

451
00:36:09,370 --> 00:36:09,690
No.

452
00:36:10,050 --> 00:36:10,950
We do not have that.

453
00:36:10,950 --> 00:36:11,170
Okay.

454
00:36:11,630 --> 00:36:14,290
We just basically have a fund trick or treating event.

455
00:36:14,810 --> 00:36:20,110
I think the chamber would be more likely to be able to help you with that particular part

456
00:36:20,110 --> 00:36:21,550
of what you're looking for.

457
00:36:21,910 --> 00:36:22,090
Okay.

458
00:36:22,770 --> 00:36:28,210
They've said no in reference to if it's political.

459
00:36:28,210 --> 00:36:41,590
So, but we could go and hand out our postcards as people who are residents, I would think, but that was, that was a question.

460
00:36:42,650 --> 00:36:43,690
Let's see what else.

461
00:36:45,610 --> 00:36:46,190
Okay.

462
00:36:47,290 --> 00:36:47,750
I'm sorry.

463
00:36:48,190 --> 00:36:49,810
How much is the warrant going to be for?

464
00:36:49,810 --> 00:36:57,390
100,000, right? And then a thousand dollars extra if it passes that Rick

465
00:36:57,390 --> 00:37:05,330
dollars says he will give it to us. Yeah, he came. He was watching. He was

466
00:37:05,330 --> 00:37:13,110
watching it on the select board meeting on TV and he got very excited about it

467
00:37:13,110 --> 00:37:17,070
being such a community and he came down and made that offer.

468
00:37:17,070 --> 00:37:17,910
That's wonderful.

469
00:37:18,250 --> 00:37:18,890
Yeah, it is nice.

470
00:37:19,090 --> 00:37:25,010
I would honestly, and I've been seeing this for probably how many years now, I would solicit

471
00:37:25,010 --> 00:37:25,530
the hotels.

472
00:37:25,950 --> 00:37:30,730
I would solicit every single hotel because it's something they can offer to the guests

473
00:37:31,190 --> 00:37:32,230
in Florida.

474
00:37:32,910 --> 00:37:35,450
When I'm in Florida, people play pickleball in tennis all the time.

475
00:37:36,090 --> 00:37:41,190
So a lot of these places that have all these guests could say, we don't have a pickleball

476
00:37:41,190 --> 00:37:49,310
court on, on a, on a, you know, location, but you can go up here, this parking, we have

477
00:37:49,310 --> 00:37:54,550
paddle boards in the, you know, we'll have the paddle board, the tennis racket in the

478
00:37:54,550 --> 00:37:59,630
office, and that could be very easily matched, I don't think.

479
00:37:59,730 --> 00:38:05,470
But I think that's after the fact that we get the $100,000 approved by the voters.

480
00:38:05,470 --> 00:38:07,630
I mean, that's, that's our focus right now is.

481
00:38:07,830 --> 00:38:08,870
Let's do that.

482
00:38:08,870 --> 00:38:25,930
I would vote, and you've said that for many years, you know, so I was wondering if like on these things if you had people willing to match, it might be nice to say like if we get this past and we'll get this additional money or something, because people more incentive to go for it, right?

483
00:38:27,310 --> 00:38:33,290
I can pass that along. I just don't know how you would make that, you know, it phrased in a way.

484
00:38:33,290 --> 00:38:38,450
make that public, you know, kind of thing other than maybe let's, we'll do a public

485
00:38:38,450 --> 00:38:38,790
here.

486
00:38:39,010 --> 00:38:48,230
Well, when we did the playground years ago from, yes, you know, people, people, the hotels,

487
00:38:48,230 --> 00:38:53,310
a lot of the hotels gave money and, you know, we had a sheet that said this is who gave

488
00:38:53,310 --> 00:38:59,150
and then other people matched it because they didn't have it on their property so they

489
00:38:59,150 --> 00:39:05,630
offer the offer here. So it might also give more people if they think that the hotels are giving,

490
00:39:05,930 --> 00:39:13,230
it might give more of an incentive for the taxpayer to say, well, the hotels are all giving money.

491
00:39:13,650 --> 00:39:20,450
So if we give it, we're going to have it for, you know, they're working with us. That's just my

492
00:39:20,450 --> 00:39:25,170
thought. Oh, it's a good thought for it. And I have a suggestion for this. Oh, sure again. Because you

493
00:39:25,170 --> 00:39:27,790
You've got approval not only from the select board, but the budget review.

494
00:39:27,950 --> 00:39:31,670
I would state that a lot of voters feel very strongly.

495
00:39:32,290 --> 00:39:33,330
I agree a thousand percent.

496
00:39:34,450 --> 00:39:45,590
I had to go to the select board to make sure that that was okay to put on the law and sign

497
00:39:45,590 --> 00:39:45,750
it.

498
00:39:46,110 --> 00:39:46,510
I got that.

499
00:39:47,010 --> 00:39:47,690
Okay, for that.

500
00:39:48,030 --> 00:39:48,250
Okay.

501
00:39:48,690 --> 00:39:53,770
I agree with you, but I think they're at the, hopefully they're at the printers, so I'm not

502
00:39:53,770 --> 00:39:54,050
sure.

503
00:39:54,050 --> 00:40:04,750
or maybe too late maybe, you know, and so I think one thing that I would like to ask is

504
00:40:06,730 --> 00:40:11,830
your Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, thank you.

505
00:40:12,590 --> 00:40:19,850
Presence, you have a presence on Facebook and you also have lots of contacts because all

506
00:40:19,850 --> 00:40:29,250
kinds of Facebook apps, which include the word, a gunquet, pardon, soul, baroneta, so

507
00:40:29,830 --> 00:40:38,830
I would, is it possible that you could, I would send you the graphics and then you

508
00:40:38,830 --> 00:40:49,110
could ask your, your partners to make that, to put that on their Facebook, Facebook

509
00:40:49,110 --> 00:40:53,010
I think we probably have to get permission from the panel to do that, right?

510
00:40:54,490 --> 00:40:56,070
He's here. He can answer.

511
00:40:56,470 --> 00:41:02,070
I think we would have to get permission, because you just said the political thing,

512
00:41:02,430 --> 00:41:05,530
and I'm wondering as a committee,

513
00:41:07,530 --> 00:41:11,030
I just have a feeling we're going to need to get approval from the select board

514
00:41:11,030 --> 00:41:13,810
and Matt to be able to...

515
00:41:15,130 --> 00:41:26,070
I mean, it could just say vote, and it doesn't have to say for warrant number four, but vote for, you know, just thoughts.

516
00:41:26,330 --> 00:41:34,530
I mean, I mean, I mean, I was straight up for a working school, both 3907, and I don't put anything that's political on it because, oh wow, I want it to be more of,

517
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:44,200
I just, I just, I just get anxious about putting anything, especially because we're a town committee, right?

518
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,060
That's I think we need to get approval for that.

519
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:49,920
Yeah, I know.

520
00:41:50,180 --> 00:41:50,400
Like the.

521
00:41:51,540 --> 00:41:53,140
Definitely, no, we're not employees.

522
00:41:53,380 --> 00:41:55,580
Yeah, like the warrants.

523
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:01,300
The, let's see, the police and the fire department have are going to have warrants.

524
00:42:01,460 --> 00:42:04,040
Also on on the November 3rd vote.

525
00:42:04,340 --> 00:42:10,280
But they cannot go out and put up on signs because they're employees.

526
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:26,380
But it might be just something that I would love to be on your Perkins Cove one if we just do vote kind of so that because you have you have quite a following right or or your personal one.

527
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:32,000
I mean, I think you need to make yourself a title of something and then we could you can share it that way.

528
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:43,580
Okay, and not I don't think I don't think without approval from up above that a gunk went Paxen wreck can probably share anything like that. Okay, because we're tied also to that.

529
00:42:44,740 --> 00:42:48,200
Because it is part of a gunk with Paxen wreck right Bob?

530
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:48,600
Yeah.

531
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:49,080
Yeah.

532
00:42:49,240 --> 00:42:49,380
Yeah.

533
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:55,920
The select board approved that their name their name is on that right.

534
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:56,560
Right.

535
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:57,040
So.

536
00:42:57,860 --> 00:42:58,720
Yeah, that's great.

537
00:42:59,180 --> 00:42:59,740
Okay. Good.

538
00:42:59,740 --> 00:43:04,660
So let me just make sure that I've gone through my little list here, good.

539
00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:11,880
And so I will ask for everybody to vote for us, please.

540
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:19,940
And I think it's just the right time to bring this to the voters.

541
00:43:20,420 --> 00:43:22,920
So anyway, any questions?

542
00:43:23,700 --> 00:43:24,060
I don't know.

543
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:24,940
Good job.

544
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:25,940
I'm sorry.

545
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:26,780
Good job.

546
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:27,500
Thank you, ma'am.

547
00:43:27,500 --> 00:43:32,500
I mentioned at one point there was like other groups that would match if you got money for tennis courts

548
00:43:33,580 --> 00:43:47,860
I mean the mainland and water conservation foundation built those courts in the 1970s and

549
00:43:49,140 --> 00:43:55,420
It would be my thought that if the voters approved

550
00:43:55,420 --> 00:44:04,740
then the town should make that an application for matching from mainland and water conservation funds.

551
00:44:05,340 --> 00:44:06,540
It's time for that.

552
00:44:07,500 --> 00:44:11,520
I think the public would probably like to know that.

553
00:44:13,940 --> 00:44:16,900
I know I'm going to sound like a broken record.

554
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:22,100
You need to get somebody that's going to go, you've got to find in your little group.

555
00:44:22,100 --> 00:44:28,600
So you need to get the five or six big motels and you need to have someone sit down with

556
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:28,880
them.

557
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:37,240
It's an advantage for them to offer pickle ball and tennis and if you if we go into

558
00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:44,800
the vote and you already have $100,000, that's ready to go as a match, then the vote is going

559
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,540
to be like, now we have $200,000.

560
00:44:46,540 --> 00:44:54,480
dollars. So I think that will help people vote yes and there must be someone that can

561
00:44:55,100 --> 00:44:59,980
maybe have a meeting. I think that's the missing link. I think a lot of

562
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,900
People in town are frustrated from what I hear that we are paying for things that tourist shoes and or the tourism parts bigger. So if you get the tourist part taken care of, then the tax pay is going to be like, Oh, this is easy. They're giving 50% and we're going to get 50% and then we're going to have this beautiful. Okay. I will I will bring it to the floor most definitely. That's what I hear from people all the time. Why are we paying for? Why do we need more police?

563
00:45:29,900 --> 00:45:31,640
in a fireman when it's tour issues in it.

564
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,320
You know, it's crazy, but that's what people say.

565
00:45:35,540 --> 00:45:40,880
So I totally understand from a voting standpoint, you know, people vote their pocketbook.

566
00:45:41,180 --> 00:45:41,780
Most definitely.

567
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:42,700
Five.

568
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:43,920
Okay.

569
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,280
Thank you.

570
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:46,020
Good to see you all.

571
00:45:47,220 --> 00:45:49,080
Time I will offer my assistance.

572
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,800
So if you would like me to participate in any of these meetings, I'm more than happy to.

573
00:45:54,020 --> 00:45:58,620
Participates from tennis, which is me, so that nobody can overturn me.

574
00:45:58,620 --> 00:46:11,860
or but the pickle ballers it's in the lesbian who is in charge so you should just contact and she's in she's a pickle ball ambassador.

575
00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:21,260
Yeah, and can I find her on how how would I get to get you to make sure she's she's been able to do it.

576
00:46:21,260 --> 00:46:25,240
Yeah, I met the other day when we were taking the stuff out of your basement.

577
00:46:25,240 --> 00:46:34,480
Could be. Does she have blonde here? Yeah. Okay. I think I do. Thank you. Okay. Thank you very much. Okay. Nice to see you again.

578
00:46:39,220 --> 00:46:48,240
So on using Parks and Rec, social media, et cetera, to influence the vote. The answer is no.

579
00:46:50,000 --> 00:47:01,020
You could at least inform people that there's a vote, and this is what's being voted on, and this is where to vote, et cetera, but on influencing a vote one way or another.

580
00:47:01,700 --> 00:47:03,180
No, to that.

581
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,100
So we can say on our page, the vote is coming up and.

582
00:47:06,780 --> 00:47:13,220
I see we can double check with Matt, but I see no issue with saying with factual information.

583
00:47:13,220 --> 00:47:17,920
this is the day of the vote. This is the day of absentee voting. These are the more

584
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:23,140
and articles being voted on. These are the questions, but not a vote yes or vote no.

585
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:34,960
That said also just keep in mind that voting does begin 30 days before and so that means like

586
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:40,980
your next meeting. Because voting is taking place while your meeting is occurring here in town,

587
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:49,780
There can't be any influence votes on the premises, etc.

588
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:55,880
So say they did find someone that would go to the hotels and say a hotel said, we'll give $20,000.

589
00:47:55,900 --> 00:47:59,860
At the next meeting, we would be prohibited from saying that out loud.

590
00:48:00,180 --> 00:48:01,780
I don't know, we can ask questions, right?

591
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:02,800
That would be interesting.

592
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:09,980
I think, again, sharing factual information is one thing, but advocating for a vote one way or another is prohibited.

593
00:48:09,980 --> 00:48:17,460
prohibited activity 30 days while voting is occurring and voting starts occurring during

594
00:48:17,460 --> 00:48:25,500
town office hours 30 days in advance. So that's one other thing to keep in mind. Thirdly,

595
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:31,360
and would be important if there are discussions with hotels, there is a conversation taking

596
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:36,360
place. For instance, at the last select board meeting, I brought up that Wells actually charges

597
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:44,380
both residents and non-residents to use their courts. There's a pass that you buy into and you scan

598
00:48:44,380 --> 00:48:52,020
in to be let into the facilities. And so personally, as a select board member, that's something I'm

599
00:48:52,020 --> 00:48:58,600
interested in exploring. It's basically user fee. So to your point, hey, I don't play tennis or

600
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:05,940
pick a ball. Why should I pay for for those courts versus if nothing else, maybe it covers some of the

601
00:49:05,940 --> 00:49:10,380
maintenance, costs, et cetera, that gets incurred.

602
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,540
So that's a conversation that's being happened.

603
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,700
That's, I believe, will continue to happen

604
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,360
as we explore improvements there.

605
00:49:19,180 --> 00:49:19,740
Thank you.

606
00:49:20,540 --> 00:49:20,900
Thank you.

607
00:49:23,500 --> 00:49:24,220
I don't want to be with you.

608
00:49:24,980 --> 00:49:28,300
Okay, but I do think that's a good idea

609
00:49:28,300 --> 00:49:29,160
about going to the hotels.

610
00:49:29,580 --> 00:49:31,460
I really, I do agree with you with that.

611
00:49:32,220 --> 00:49:35,140
And I mean, I think it'd be a surprise because

612
00:49:35,780 --> 00:49:54,120
I really believe it's an asset to offer that off-premise, and I mean, it gives them a way to entice people to come that are very actively involved in pickleball or tennis, and they don't have room on their property.

613
00:49:56,780 --> 00:49:58,580
I think there will be some interest in that.

614
00:49:58,580 --> 00:50:00,100
I, I, I, 100% agree.

615
00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:30,020
We're spread to the, this, this, we're spread to the limit.

616
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,180
We're spread to the limit.

617
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:33,440
I, I think.

618
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:34,160
Please.

619
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,640
If, if, if I really do.

620
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:44,660
The people, you know, like on the picture, can they, can they promote the book?

621
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,280
Can, can they promote the initiative?

622
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:49,300
They, they're doing it now.

623
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:49,740
Yeah.

624
00:50:50,380 --> 00:50:53,160
I mean, even though it's a town.

625
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:09,020
I'm nervous about the warrant. I'm nervous because it went from 50 to 100 and I'm around

626
00:51:09,020 --> 00:51:12,960
town, and I hear what people are saying, and I'm nervous about it. If you really want

627
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:19,500
to get it passed, I think there's a way to make it a little more reasonable in people's

628
00:51:19,500 --> 00:51:25,780
minds. The 50 to 100 was a big jump and I think it's needed. It's 100 plus needed there.

629
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:32,640
But you have to show, you have to show something that's given take. And that's where my

630
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,720
nervousness comes in, Kay. I don't want it to be defeated. And then you're sitting a

631
00:51:36,720 --> 00:51:42,880
whole other season on the third court with the divots and the whole thing and not really

632
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:48,860
being able to be used. So I was just trying to think of a way that you'd be able to say

633
00:51:48,860 --> 00:51:53,140
people down the street when they're walking in because you can't be in front of the thing

634
00:51:53,140 --> 00:51:58,240
that you already, if it passes, we have this money ready to go from these other places and

635
00:51:58,240 --> 00:52:05,900
it makes people more thinking that they'll have, they'll vote yes to it because we've spent a lot

636
00:52:05,900 --> 00:52:11,600
of money, taxpayers have spent a lot of money between the Dunno Way Center and the town hall. So I'm

637
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:17,240
just, I'm trying to think about the other side. I, I would love for that to be done. I don't get to play,

638
00:52:17,240 --> 00:52:21,000
maybe someday when I retire. I'll be over there.

639
00:52:55,950 --> 00:53:00,370
Okay. The issue was that they got a donation

640
00:53:00,370 --> 00:53:07,890
from the margin away foundation and so the the select board was very generous to take that $50,000

641
00:53:07,890 --> 00:53:16,350
which was going to go to the heritage and because they got the $120,000 then it went they specifically

642
00:53:16,910 --> 00:53:20,830
said that they would increase it from $50,000 to $100,000.

643
00:53:21,370 --> 00:53:22,110
And that was it.

644
00:53:22,390 --> 00:53:23,090
So I'm confused.

645
00:53:25,390 --> 00:53:28,730
Because the Heritage Museum was going to go on the warrant.

646
00:53:29,090 --> 00:53:30,050
That's $50,000.

647
00:53:30,370 --> 00:53:34,870
Oh, so they really changed it from $50,000 to $100,000.

648
00:53:34,890 --> 00:53:38,410
But it wasn't given the money.

649
00:53:38,470 --> 00:53:42,550
It was just changing the number on the warrant article from $50,000 to $100,000.

650
00:53:42,550 --> 00:53:54,290
We're not going to have to stay town for the other 50,000, because it sounds like there's not another warrant article. There would have been two. One, yes, right. Okay, thank you.

651
00:53:57,830 --> 00:54:16,310
So Kay is right. The town originally was asking the voters or the select board was considering asking the voters to pay for the lead bank paint removal at the Heritage Museum and the Marginway Preservation Fund actually donated those funds to do that work.

652
00:54:16,890 --> 00:54:23,930
And thus at the select board meeting, there was a proposal put forward to increase the ask from 50 to 100.

653
00:54:23,930 --> 00:54:28,870
since there wasn't going to be a second ask of voters to consider the lead paint removal.

654
00:54:29,650 --> 00:54:34,810
One other point that I'll just say, Amy, to your point, just in conversations with people is

655
00:54:34,810 --> 00:54:45,790
this is coming out of our reserve funds. It's not additional taxes. So it's money that's already

656
00:54:45,790 --> 00:54:51,170
in our bank account. And that money, the reason why we have those funds in our bank account is

657
00:54:53,930 --> 00:54:59,430
because year after year after year we produce better numbers in our parking lot revenues

658
00:54:59,990 --> 00:55:08,350
which is money from tourism. I think that's a great. So I think it's just important to

659
00:55:08,350 --> 00:55:15,050
say that anywhere? Sure, you can have this conversation with people that the money is coming from

660
00:55:15,050 --> 00:55:20,690
our reserve account and look at the history of why we have as high of a reserve account as we do.

661
00:55:21,530 --> 00:55:26,590
The other thing that might be important to note, while the number has not been solidified

662
00:55:26,590 --> 00:55:37,530
yet regarding our taxes, this year it appears that our mill rate will actually go down

663
00:55:37,530 --> 00:55:42,810
slightly. So we're probably one of the only towns in the state of Maine that will be able

664
00:55:42,810 --> 00:55:47,370
to say that we're actually reducing our mill rate versus increasing our mill rate this year.

665
00:55:47,370 --> 00:55:51,810
So, something else to just share as people are considering what to support.

666
00:55:52,250 --> 00:55:54,470
Thank you.

667
00:55:54,790 --> 00:55:55,590
Thanks, Heath.

668
00:55:58,100 --> 00:55:58,920
That's an important point.

669
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:00,960
I just, this is amazing.

670
00:56:01,700 --> 00:56:14,860
I just wanted, like the marginal way donation, you know, their nonprofit would be in the

671
00:56:14,860 --> 00:56:23,640
future advantage to put together like a friends of, you know, the pickle ball and

672
00:56:25,110 --> 00:56:31,550
the argument is park and have that there on the side so that you can

673
00:56:31,550 --> 00:56:36,270
I'm sorry, shutting that off. You can't hear me? I'm sorry. I don't speak very

674
00:56:36,270 --> 00:56:44,970
loud. I apologize for that. I apologize. I just wanted if it was, we could do a go

675
00:56:44,970 --> 00:56:54,590
no fun meat thing. If we choose to do that, I would guess. I have no idea. I mean, the

676
00:56:54,590 --> 00:56:59,270
town has a lot of rules and regulations, but like the friends of the, right, agamanicus.

677
00:56:59,630 --> 00:57:03,730
Yeah, what agamanicus, and then if they want to donate, I mean, just like this place,

678
00:57:03,730 --> 00:57:10,870
or the marginal way, helping this, they're all nonprofits that did that. So, community did

679
00:57:10,870 --> 00:57:37,410
I just, you don't have to do that now, I just, you know, it's only, I don't know, what is it like maybe for eight, eight weeks before the, the voting, so, right, yeah, but I think that maybe with he's mentioning the, no tax implication, no, no increase, no tax.

680
00:57:37,410 --> 00:57:45,070
huge. Yeah, I agree too. So I think maybe I will make sure that that's on the, it hasn't

681
00:57:45,070 --> 00:57:51,430
gone to the printer yet. It's close, but so we might want to put that on the lawn signs

682
00:57:51,430 --> 00:57:57,690
as well as the handouts. It's a great, great idea. We talk about that with people as the board

683
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:06,750
as the committee. Yeah, we can talk to them, but we can't act as a committee and put out any

684
00:58:06,750 --> 00:58:10,830
information, people as private citizens, as residents of a gunquit.

685
00:58:10,950 --> 00:58:11,590
Okay, okay.

686
00:58:12,070 --> 00:58:12,530
All right.

687
00:58:12,970 --> 00:58:13,150
All right.

688
00:58:15,130 --> 00:58:16,730
I have no new business right.

689
00:58:16,930 --> 00:58:19,510
I think, so I think we want to go to public comment.

690
00:58:20,510 --> 00:58:21,890
Is there anything the brand?

691
00:58:22,750 --> 00:58:25,770
Is there anybody out there in the public want to talk to us?

692
00:58:28,930 --> 00:58:29,450
No hands.

693
00:58:31,470 --> 00:58:32,270
No hands.

694
00:58:32,450 --> 00:58:32,770
No hands.

695
00:58:32,910 --> 00:58:33,570
Okay. Thank you.

696
00:58:34,150 --> 00:58:34,670
All right.

697
00:58:35,290 --> 00:58:36,430
Oh, I have one other thing.

698
00:58:36,430 --> 00:58:36,730
Sorry.

699
00:58:36,730 --> 00:58:41,790
new business. Okay, I got a Tory over the chamber gave me an account so I can now upload

700
00:58:41,790 --> 00:58:47,830
things to their website for like events and stuff like that. Really? Yeah. Nice. I haven't

701
00:58:47,830 --> 00:58:50,270
actually done it yet but I'll go play around with it. Let's get going.

702
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,260
So I just want to encourage

703
00:58:55,260 --> 00:59:00,960
people in town to please on Saturday come out and enjoy themselves at the planter event.

704
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:06,840
This is going to be quite an event. You're going to see 137 artists off well.

705
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:14,770
You know, the town of the concrete, but also primarily on marginal way, you know, Pericles

706
00:59:14,770 --> 00:59:22,570
Cove area and you're just going to be quite a day to watch the enjoyment and just be

707
00:59:22,570 --> 00:59:29,030
outside and see quality work being done and at the end of the day, they're going to be

708
00:59:29,030 --> 00:59:34,990
an opportunity for some of the artists to sell their pitches that they do that day.

709
00:59:34,990 --> 00:59:41,650
So, come on out, it's going to be sad, it's going to probably start about, you know,

710
00:59:41,990 --> 00:59:45,350
eight in the morning, nine in the clock in the morning, and it's going to wrap up around

711
00:59:45,350 --> 00:59:47,130
two o'clock, two thirty in the afternoon.

712
00:59:47,370 --> 00:59:49,470
Well, one thirty to four is the wet paint cell.

713
00:59:49,610 --> 00:59:50,110
Yeah, okay.

714
00:59:50,570 --> 00:59:56,450
And the ceremony, the opening ceremonies and the awards will be giving it out between two

715
00:59:56,450 --> 00:59:57,990
and two forty-five.

716
00:59:57,990 --> 00:59:59,510
We'll be doing the National Anthem.

717
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:19,620
We have some guest speakers, Bob White laws, the MC. So we have a local woman who's going to sing the national anthem this year. And it's just overall a good time. Yeah. Can you get there like before eight and do the sunrise? Yeah. Okay. You can get there at five. I, if you want.

718
01:00:21,900 --> 01:00:29,000
Thank you. Are you painting? Are you painting? Yeah. And I asked somebody to make a motion to adjourn.

719
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:36,480
Okay, all in favor, high five, nothing, all right, and
