[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.
[6:15]

[6:36]

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.

We're happy to have them on board.
[11:20]

[11:30]
A registration for follow-up sports is also open.
[11:34]

[11:38]
and those spots do feel it quickly.
[11:41]
Finally, reminder that school is back in session now.
[11:44]
Please be mindful that children are waiting at bus stops,
[11:47]
walking to and from school and crossing streets.
[11:50]
Drivers should exercise extra caution,
[11:52]
follow posted speed limits in school zones,
[11:55]
and watch for school buses during pick-up and drop off times.
[11:58]
Please also be attentive to the crossing jarred at the intersection of E.

[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.
[13:26]

next agenda item
[14:48]
is your motion. It's almost set up. Thank you council portion hasn't

[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

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?
