[1:02] September 1, 2021, 2016, I had to believe there's some way by that fast on us. We ask you all the rise and join us with what you will be doing.
[1:21] One nation under God, into the law, under the law, under the law.
[1:30] Mr. Webo, would you call the roll please?
[1:32] Yep. Councillor Kelly.
[1:34] Here.
[1:34] Councillor Regue.
[1:36] Councillor Tutusignan.
[1:37] Yep.
[1:38] Vice-chair Billow.
[1:39] Here.
[1:39] In chair on Neil.
[1:41] Here. And thank you very much for doing.
[1:44] Any longer, to see me, Council?
[1:49] Any longer?
[1:50] Good and welfare.
[1:51] Any topics?
[1:52] From the members of the public?
[1:52] I'm very good and welfare.
[2:01] Good evening and welcome, sir.
[2:04] Bill Marshall, the state of Atlantic Abbeyl.
[2:08] I'm here tonight.
[2:10] As you know, I've given each of you a copy of the document at the town in 1935.
[2:18] It spells out all of that out, how we acquire the beach.
[2:22] And it's good reading, taking a long time, but it's good reading.
[2:28] My concern is of the ownership of the beach.
[2:32] All my life, I've thought that anybody else that grew up here, that the beach belonged to us.
[2:42] Recently,
[2:45] Roya Laker has roped it off and claimed that as their property.
[2:50] I don't believe that's the case at all, and I don't know how it happened, and I know we don't have enough time tonight to get into the weeds about that.
[3:02] But I do think we should revisit that issue, because if there are allowed to get away with it, who knows who's going to get away with it?
[3:14] And when the town acquired the beach, they acquired it from Ocean Park,
[3:19] the atmosphere broke to the town line of Scarborough.
[3:26] So I think this requires the council at some time in the near future to set aside time,
[3:33] to start to study on the document that you have, and if there's any other weak spots
[3:43] where
[3:44] this could happen again. It pretty soon is not chipping away at our most valuable asset, which
[3:50] is the beach. It's part of our, it's the greatest part of our economy. We should protect it.
[3:58] But for the citizens who won't, not for the, not for the abitons who lived on there. It's
[4:04] for the entire town.
[4:12] While we're going through that, there's no reason why dual grass is
[4:16] I played it in that section.
[4:19] Now, I was on the console that do-grass program
[4:24] to its finale, and that had started an ocean park,
[4:30] and gone all the way down to the sky of a line.
[4:32] I personally planted do-grass in front of the warlaco,
[4:36] with a bunch of other volunteers.
[4:40] But somehow, and only that one spot,
[4:44] it didn't take. I have my suspicions, but I can't speak to that anymore.
[4:53] So that's that
[4:54] on that, and I will take you guys some time, but I hope that you read it really well.
[5:02] My second issue here tonight is that the upcoming elections in two months away,
[5:12] we've
[5:13] bring it back. And I think we should have it here for all the elected officials who have
[5:19] our opposition, whether it's the council, the school board, all. And Kenny is running,
[5:30] a lot of beaches, a district, all into itself, as far as our representation has happened
[5:36] to Augusta. So if you do, there is to have a candidate's idea. Perhaps you can invite the candidate,
[5:49] a post is candidate for the state legislature, because we have, I have questions, I'd
[5:54] like to ask those guys in addition to question a new bunch. Thank you. Thank you.
[6:09] That's
[6:10] of top side of the good welfare folks.

[6:36] Motion to carry the five-zero.
[6:39] Also, if I may,
[6:40] we digress one moment,
[6:42] The chair will entertain a motion to add emergency agenda item number 9103, discussion with action to approve the call from yield network solutions.
[6:50] But the purchase and installation of two new servers and two switches in the amount of 140,835,656,

[10:08] I don't know.
[10:10] I want to start out with a little ad live, I just remembered it earlier, sorry.
[10:15] Jotted it down.
[10:16] The tax bills went out this week.
[10:18] There was a little mix up at the printer, so they went out late.
[10:22] We got a tax rate currently of 1149.
[10:25] And due to the lateness coming out, we've worked with the tax collector.
[10:30] And we're keeping the due date as September 16th.
[10:32] However, we are not accruing any interest until October 1st.
[10:38] So we've got that leeway period that we understand that they went out this year, so we're
[10:43] giving the taxpayers a little break there on the indexed.
[10:47] Thing-paving has begun work in the Olympia Hobbs and Center Street areas, the Baving
[10:53] Projects will continue as traffic decreases throughout town.
[10:57] New stairs are set to be installed on Thursday in Veterans Memorial Park, on first street

[11:06] The fire chiefs, in myself, would like to extend our congratulations to Anthony Weems and
[11:13] Henry Janicec on their recent graduation from CareerMedics School.
[11:18] We're happy to have them on board.
[11:20] The Rec Department's 50-plus fall brochures now available in registration for fall programs

[12:02] Emerson Cummins Boulevard in Soko Avenue during the morning and afternoon.
[12:07] We wish all the students teachers in school staff a safe productive and successful start to the new school year.
[12:13] Thank you.
[12:14] Through the chair.
[12:15] What was the previous military off the top of my head?
[12:19] It was 1159.
[12:24] Yeah, I don't have to figure this out.
[12:28] So I just want to thank the department,
[12:30] 60, excuse me.
[12:31] A lot of 60.
[12:32] The departments in the council for working very collaboratively
[12:36] to try to make sure that they will fully funded
[12:38] in the same time, be able to bring the mill rate down.
[12:41] I blew the school budget actually increased slightly.
[12:44] So we had to work extra hard to get that done.
[12:47] And also note that unlike us surrounding municipalities,
[12:52] that act to have a high of no right, they also have a so-use of faith.
[12:56] We don't have a so-use of faith and then also on top of that to let the residents know
[13:02] that I don't accept it, that I believe it's every year and a half when they have their
[13:06] tank pump, if they come in with their receipt, I believe it's up to 300 now, that ought to
[13:12] be verified.
[13:13] But I believe it's up to 300 dollars, who he deducted off their taxes, so that you'll have
[13:18] a credit.
[13:18] So, thank you.
[13:21] We'll go.
[13:21] Thank you.
[13:22] And just real quick, the mill rate this year.

[13:55] equipment replacement with a balance of 530,100 dollars. This vehicle purchase was approved
[14:01] during the FY27 budget process.
[14:06] Thank you.
[14:07] Thank you.
[14:07] Thank you.
[14:08] We can consider, of course, it has a maiden second. There's no further discussion.
[14:12] And then, opposed, that most are carried by a zero.
[14:14] agenda item number 9096 discussion with action to food line item transfers in the amount of
[14:21] 8336 dollars from the count number 2011005060 planning full-time wages with the balance of
[14:28] 76,889 dollars to account number 2011005030 planning professional engineering expense with the balance of
[14:44] next agenda item
[14:48] is your motion. It's almost set up. Thank you council portion hasn't
[14:54] made a second. If there's no further discussion and then the focus then we'll
[14:59] carry 5-0.

This is relating to LD2173-1899747-1655 in amount of $8,366 from account number 201-0503-0, planning professional engineering in the balance of $4,000.
[15:29] And briefly, the town is previously working with SMPDC on ordinance updates and other planning
[15:35] efforts.
[15:36] The current proposal is to provide plan and support for updating local ordinances to comply
[15:40] with the new state housing laws, specifically LD-2773-1129-997-4271655.
[15:49] SMPDC anticipates a six to eight month timeline for this work, and the town must have the updated

[16:19] officer positions to fund in from account.
[16:22] Number 201-1-E503-50
[16:25] contingency with a balance of $149,700.
[16:32] Very briefly, the police violence has had two long-standing vacant positions that have remained
[16:36] under-filled for six years.
[16:38] This summer, four reserve officers have expressed the interest in continuing the public safety
[16:42] areas with all what you think, because hiring some reserve reserves has become increasingly
[16:47] difficult.
[16:48] The fireman is recommending the addition of year-round officers to strengthen staffing and
[16:53] approval, operational capacity.
[17:04] She doesn't need a second.
[17:07] Further discussion?
