[0:39] And do we have

[0:53] the special meeting on the Friday to approve the meeting?

[1:26] We have a second.

[1:30] All those in favour?

[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.
