[1:30] I'm going to try to do that one more motion to approve the regular scheduled meeting for 90 minutes. [1:45] I'm also going to have a second. [1:50] I'm going to be a photo for the amount of passes. [2:01] I'm going to demonstrate that. [2:04] Okay, so back at August, I applied for the passive grant, which is the property and [2:09] casualty inner municipal fund grant. We purchased lock-out tag-outs, flies, and bedlocked [2:15] dumps for the highway, which will make it so they're in compliance with social laws. [2:21] That's a 55% grant. So we pay 50% and then we get reimbursed for 50% so I'm working on the reimbursed [2:30] it because we've gotten those in now. [2:34] The parking ordinance can say summary. [2:36] We'll be posted in the messenger on Friday. [2:39] The revisions can be found on the website, [2:44] or you can contact myself at the office, [2:48] and I can get a copy. [2:55] I've been helping with zoning out decisions [2:57] while Karen has been out on leave. [3:00] She will officially be back tomorrow. [3:01] have time to do her zoning administrator duties, and then I've been communicating with Tracy quite [3:13] a bit regarding doggy issues in town. It sent a few letters out to the residents who had [3:21] moved since dogs. It's been quite a hot topic these last few months with dog issues, so she's [3:29] She's been working with me closely at Letters Out and talked to the owners of the dogs to [3:36] resolve some of the issues. [3:38] Well, I know we've sent them and we've sent them what this is in the past. [3:41] What point is there another step we can take? [3:44] So we sent them like those up to a warning first. [3:47] Most of them don't go past the warning. [3:50] These are the issues we've resolved. [3:52] Then you go to fees, you start without. [3:54] Start with the first find, which is like $25. [3:56] and then $50 for the second offense and then so on. [4:01] And what is the time frame for these? [4:03] Like, we must be at the warning stage [4:05] from at least one of the incidences, right? [4:08] Yeah. [4:09] So, the ones that we've sent out have all been warned is so far. [4:13] So, when can we go to issue it? [4:16] So, before I... [4:18] It depends when the issue comes back. [4:20] Like, if there's a warning, they resolve the issue [4:22] and then we get another complaint [4:23] And then that next point turns into the, the violation of the phone. [4:31] That's not the result. [4:33] It has no, that has continued to send letters. [4:38] And then that, we're working on figuring out what is next for that. [4:43] Because according to our ordinance, we can't take somebody's dog for, like, a, the noise. [4:52] Okay, the noise busy breaking the noise with the decimal and stuff that up that I don't know [4:59] I don't know how I don't know how I don't know I don't know, but I know it's something that's [5:08] My loss [5:11] he's definitely [5:12] She had to all the double break in noise in this after a certain period of time as far as [5:19] The loudness coming from at all [5:21] And I have it, I haven't heard anything from any residents recently because they know what I'm doing. [5:30] Okay. [5:32] So I can't. [5:35] The dog or something, we should re-look at that. [5:39] Awesome. [5:40] Sprinkle a little bit here. [5:44] All right. [5:44] It's easy. [5:46] Yeah. [5:47] Who else are you going to complain to? [5:49] Right. [5:54] Yeah. [5:54] We can definitely look at it, but I think it also, I mean, mind-win enforcement. [5:58] Well, enforcement's an issue, and I'm guessing we're probably pretty close to state in accordance [6:05] with the state, and I'm guessing the state doesn't do what's in the favor, is here either. [6:12] Yeah. [6:12] So, can I let you find out what's the dog with license? [6:19] The dog is law-licensed. [6:22] So I thought we could do something there. [6:24] You can issue a warning for a warning of violation. [6:28] Something else. [6:29] This is the fee. [6:31] The one you can take a dog is if it's like stray out all the street. [6:34] If it's running loose, do the town. [6:36] There's more stipulation than the ordinance regarding a dog. [6:42] Well, that's why I think we need to look off the edge. [6:45] The noise ordinance because I'm sure this is violation of that noise ordinance. [6:52] So, yeah, there's something more that the town can do as far as it's changing. [6:59] Take it and then who would do that? [7:01] The speakers would have to come up and enforce our noise movements, like how does that get? [7:10] The speakers can't enforce our ordinances. [7:13] Yeah, so they can just keep doing that. [7:15] And that's why I don't speak like that. [7:17] Yeah. [7:17] I thought, and unfortunately, your dog is going to get drunk. [7:22] That's what makes me sad. [7:24] Because it's not the dog's fault. [7:26] And then I heard a report over a week ago that the house... [7:35] Can you research the dog ordinance and come back with some suggestions and see if it's, you know, how we can change? How false it is to the state? [7:45] Well, it's his in law, it's his father now who owns the house. So the house is his father. [8:01] Sorry, we're sending them. [8:02] I don't know if that's a rental or not. [8:04] I send them notice to the house. [8:07] To the property of that complaint. [8:10] So maybe we send it to the property owner. [8:13] That's where I'm sending it. [8:14] So wherever the how I send it is I find the address. [8:19] I go and I look at the tax bill to see where the mail gets sent. [8:22] And that's where I send them. [8:29] So, yeah, if you would look at that and see, [8:32] bring it in, report back next meeting. [8:40] Do you want me to help that sound at hand? [8:44] Uh, town clerk. [8:47] So, I think, [8:49] last week, [8:52] some more recognition, [8:54] some more recognition, [9:02] local and town, [9:05] private vision available. [9:07] We are slowly starting to [9:09] back into the other office, [9:16] and working [9:21] on the water and swimming in the [9:31] water and the water [9:31] and the water from each and each and each and each and each and each and each and each and each. [9:35] And so we're not going to be too honest with you. [9:37] We're not going to be too honest with you. [9:38] We're going to be too honest with you. [9:48] There's a lot of kinds of things in your comfort. [9:51] I'm going in right now. [9:55] No, I'm highway, you know, I'm still waiting on the PV crew. [10:00] I think I got pushed back to beginning around the beginning of October, early October. [10:06] You know, they're starting going around, hopefully for the last rating of the year, making the roads. [10:15] Starting to, you know, ready for the winter to pack down. [10:18] Um, you know, though, I think they mentioned getting their whatever, [10:24] prepping their sticks for the markers, yeah, markers for the edge of the row, [10:29] but kind of their slow time, you know, doing whatever little prep work [10:33] they need to do their, [10:37] um, the wood to get the, you know, [10:39] be ready to start with the furnace, uh, all the winter sand is up and that's closed up. [10:44] Uh, you know, they, they called moved out of core maze. [10:48] Well, they're not, and that Jason said it's from, you know, the kind of entering their little wall before the winter [10:55] building report. [10:58] Steve? [11:01] I don't have another warrior. [11:06] Well, I'm going to ask that you take the lead from now on, on trying to figure out, yeah, get up the post out here. [11:16] You know, fine, see if you can keep up today with what's going on with the person that was hired. [11:22] I was going to ask if somebody wants me to go see him or well, you're just going to leave that alone with the lawyers [11:28] I think for now, we leave that but just keep up to date with where it is and try to locate somebody that can fix that [11:41] Great job, it's all clean it, it's ready to be [11:47] Not quite in the back and totally, John West is coming, hopefully by the end of the week and so we have [11:52] And now I'm here, I just need to finish, then I'm flated to try, I believe in the office. [12:00] Most of the office was downstairs, so they just need to come back and name the units or put the case on or on that work. [12:08] And then I think it's just working the way I've done, hopefully it's closed, so I'm going to have a GTA right now. [12:14] I'm guessing you're hoping, does it's chilly here? [12:17] We can get a week off, I want to work. [12:23] The VFP is still linking in to the issues of how we gain down to the background. [12:31] And last year, [12:35] I'm going to allocate money to the playground domain, [12:39] which unfortunately, with all of the projects that we are going on. [12:43] That will kind of have a set to the side, but there are some very opportunities right now. [12:48] for a recreational facility, and so far tonight we're up against the webinar the other day. [12:55] We want to look at that and hopefully get to apply for something that reminds the money we have outside, [13:03] and do that as much as possible in order to get to that. [13:07] So I think it was so important for me to do that. [13:15] And I still need to catch up with volunteers from the AMS for a winner. [13:26] What is that, Kylie? [13:29] Water sewer? [13:34] Tyler, Jeremy and I met with the [13:41] guy from the state of Vermont who's in charge of, I guess [13:44] he's in charge of municipal wastewater systems. [13:50] The reason we wanted to meet with him is that we are probably going to move forward with [14:04] Aldrich and Elliott as the engineer on our sewer lagoon cleaning. [14:11] Finally, and I both had some concerns about some of the things with Hoyle Tanner. [14:23] I'm not an engineer, [14:27] but we did have some concerns, and so switching to older geneliet [14:33] was going to slow things down, so we wanted to check with the state and just be sure that [14:39] It was going to be okay and the meeting actually turned out to be a very good meeting. [14:49] The gentleman was able to validate some of our concerns and actually was pointing out some other things we were not aware of. [15:01] Right now, our system is in compliance with the state, but we do have to get those movements cleaned. [15:14] The fact that we're in compliance now doesn't diminish the need to get the work done. [15:21] But we do have the time to kind of do a reset with a different engineer. [15:27] so it was a good meeting. We have a meeting this week with [15:33] old originally at regarding golf course road. I'm sure they'll be able to tell us [15:40] why they haven't done a baking yet. [15:46] Then on Green Eastern [15:53] Avenue we things are [15:58] progressing a little bit slower than I would like a lot slower than I would like. [16:03] But it is progressing and, you know, as they've done work on that line, seeing the condition of the line we're replacing, I think really justifies our decision to replace it. [16:18] Even if it is taking a bit longer than we wanted it to, it was a good line to start with. [16:30] So, what is progressing? [16:38] Green, parked playgrounds and emitters? [16:42] Oh, I'm not much. [16:43] They didn't have the Harris Festival weekend, [16:45] so I'm sure they can enjoy that. [16:47] We're going to have some nice weather. [16:49] The other thing Risa has talked to me about is coming in [16:53] and getting caught up with the map. [16:56] I live on the cemetery. [16:58] It hasn't been updated in quite some time, [17:00] so I'm going to start coming in on some Fridays [17:02] I'm a man in a certain environment. [17:06] You have to navigate the past. [17:08] Not the existence of the seducer. [17:10] Can I explain to you now? [17:12] Okay. [17:13] Is that it? [17:16] Other business do we have any? [17:22] I have a great personality. [17:24] I have one person I'll think too. [17:29] I guess if we don't, we'll... [17:31] I'll entertain a motion to move to executive. [17:35] Oh, make a motion. [17:36] That's like all those in there. [17:39] All right. [17:41] All right. [17:43] Let's stay here. [17:44] It's in Jerry. [17:45] I'm George.
