[0:02] Let's go.
Howard is here.
[0:05] » He's on the phone.
Yep. That's the best we can do at the
[0:09] moment.
[0:13] » I pledge a legiance
>> I pledge a legiance to the flag
[0:15] » of the United States of America.
>> And to the republic
[0:19] » for which it stands,
>> one nation
[0:22] » under God,
>> indivisible,
[0:24] » with liberty and justice for all.
>> Thanks everybody for coming to special
[0:29] meeting this is a special meeting on May
20th
[0:33] 26th
to review the resolution for the local
[0:36] law number two for the flood plain
flood damage prevention.
[0:41] Um everyone got the resolution.
That was sent to you from
[0:46] Pat.
Okay. So
[0:50] Um what we need to do on here
is
[0:57] put it up for public review. So that's
why this was going back and forth today
[1:02] if everybody was involved in this
because that's that'd be correct to put
[1:06] onto the website. So that when the
public reviews it
[1:11] they see
what the law is all about. That's that's
[1:16] that's that's up to they need to have to
be able to see that. So on Howard's um
[1:22] computer, he and I were going back and
forth because what he saw and what I saw
[1:26] on the same attachment were two
different things.
[1:28] So we sent pictures back and forth.
Uh red was also on
[1:32] um Pat's and Kim's and it sounds like
that could be the same.
[1:35] » Mine's definitely the show Scott.
>> Yeah, it's right there.
[1:39] » It's right there.
>> Yeah, and on mine I had no red and I had
[1:42] page numbers. So there was a different
thing. I don't know how that happens.
[1:45] I'm not an IT expert.
But stuff happens sometimes.
[1:50] For us to go forward, I we talked to
Kim.
[1:53] Kim sent us the last hour
two copies which those are the two
[1:59] to download and we'll use my website.
And if you can get rid of the 25 copies
[2:03] we have prior to those two.
Okay. So, does anybody have any
[2:09] questions? Howard, are you good with
that?
[2:12] Okay.
>> We don't have a resolution number yet
[2:15] cuz I'm still trying to figure out from
April the May's minutes. So, it was yet
[2:19] to be blank.
>> Okay.
[2:22] So, what we're doing here tonight is to
keep this process going so that we fall
[2:26] under that uh deadline that we need to
file.
[2:31] And so, everybody was able to read the
local law providing for flood damage
[2:35] prevention from
Pat regarding the resolution.
[2:39] » Mhm.
>> Do I have a motion to approve?
[2:42] » I'll make a motion to approve.
>> Do we have a second?
[2:48] » I'll second that.
>> Okay.
[2:49] » I'm going to put in June 10th in there
cuz that's our next meeting. I figure
[2:53] you need to get me anything before then
because it's I got to have 5 days.
[2:58] I can send it tomorrow, but it won't go
in until next week
[3:01] and then the week after.
>> Mhm.
[3:03] So,
um in that we need to have a we need to
[3:08] um
First of all, I think we're any more
[3:10] discussion on that piece itself with the
June 10th is you're okay with that?
[3:17] Howard, you okay with that?
>> Yeah.
[3:19] » Okay. Um all in favor?
>> I actually
[3:22] » I actually
So, the next step is this has to be um
[3:27] the the clean copy that one of those
clean copies that are coming from Kim
[3:31] this afternoon.
So, there is no mix-up. That's going to
[3:35] the website.
Okay.
[3:38] And
Pat, do you want to send that or do you
[3:41] want me to send that to the to the
website?
[3:45] » I don't I got I didn't I had an app on
my laptop. I did not receive it.
[3:50] » Okay. and send it to the website. And
then um
[3:53] » I was hoping to be here tomorrow cuz I
don't get stuff from that people fund
[3:56] that.
>> Yeah.
[3:58] Uh you should have gotten every your
name was on it.
[4:01] So, that being said, what we need is to
um schedule a public hearing for the
[4:07] local law. So,
um that did you come up with a date that
[4:11] works for you?
>> I presume on June
[4:14] » Yes, June 10th
[4:18] » resolution that would be
>> Okay. And so,
[4:21] » sets the clock.
>> We need to have a motion to set that
[4:25] public hearing for June 10th.
>> I'll make that motion.
[4:27] » Okay, for 6:00 p.m. or 6:05.
Everybody, have a second?
[4:32] » Second.
>> Okay. Any discussion? Howard, any
[4:35] discussion on that?
Say all in favor.
[4:38] » Aye.
>> Aye. Thank you.
[4:41] Okay.
Um
[4:44] on the zoning law revision,
I want to back up here a little bit
[4:48] because
I think it's one of the clarify um where
[4:52] we're at.
And if Tom has any info on here, you
[4:56] know, he's been working really hard, so
I don't want to confuse the issue. So,
[5:01] what we did as a town board, we
supported um
[5:05] the way I remember, we supported Tom
going forward and looking at the
[5:08] research to um bring back about the
black Black House and what it's what it
[5:12] means and how exciting it's going to be.
Um
[5:16] but ultimately
[5:24] agency to send it to the planning board.
We
[5:28] I it's the town board that's
responsible. We don't want um
[5:32] Oh, sorry.
Okay. So,
[5:36] so, I'm looking to see if um
the town board would like to pick a lead
[5:42] agency for the Black House
um with the idea that it would be by
[5:47] only, it's not by
budgetary
[5:50] um
donations. What did Howard
[5:53] Did you hear what I said? Howard
[5:59] » All right, I'm going to hang your phone
up in a minute.
[6:01] » Yep, hang up.
Were you able to hear me?
[6:05] Howard, what was I saying about the
black house?
[6:07] » Yep.
>> Okay. So, um at that point, um then
[6:13] we can
I think the first thing is we need to
[6:16] discuss about the town being the lead
agent because it is our property.
[6:21] It is our um it would go on the
property.
[6:25] And and the fact that the first things
that people are going to ask, well, how
[6:29] can the town afford to pay that? We're
not paying for it.
[6:32] Okay? It's it would be done by donations
or by um volunteers and support. Um so
[6:40] so it's transparent.
It would go the it would go to the
[6:44] planning board. They would review the
site plan.
[6:48] And um
and then also notify neighbors.
[6:53] So that it is
it's transparent. People will know about
[6:57] it rather than just
hearing on the street that
[7:00] you know
>> Does it have to go to ZBA for a variance
[7:03] and then the planning board?
>> Um there's only board, that's why we did
[7:07] the public um
added the public facilities within it.
[7:10] Also
Right.
[7:13] So we do have to have um
you know, Matt's reviewing the zoning
[7:19] right now. We will have to have a public
hearing on the revision to the zoning.
[7:24] Um and then to change that law. So so
there's a parallel track here.
[7:29] » Which camera are you getting?
She presented it at the last meeting of
[7:33] the board
of trustees.
[7:35] The zoning that changes were already in
there.
[7:38] » Right. In the zoning.
>> So what draft brought stuff up?
[7:40] » Yeah, but you also brought up that we
need to be a change because it still had
[7:43] Board of Trustees in it.
>> Yes.
[7:46] » And so that's what needed to be done.
>> the latest one.
[7:49] Yeah, it had no no trustees. It now it
just said just a town cuz I was looking
[7:53] for that cuz you mentioned that. And
it's all just relates to the town was
[7:58] not talking about the village at all. So
>> Yeah. So we have
[8:01] » say village. You just said town of Salem
Trustees instead of town board.
[8:06] Trustees are a village but it didn't say
village Board of Trustees. It said town
[8:10] of Salem Board of Trustees and went out
of the Board of Trustees section.
[8:14] » But it didn't say Trustees anywhere I
don't think cuz I went through it and
[8:17] » It did in Kim's draft of the meeting.
>> Okay.
[8:20] » We all have the same one. I haven't
received anything else but that one.
[8:24] » So
that was a revision that needed be
[8:29] modified.
Um
[8:31] » She can probably do that.
>> So
[8:34] » Or maybe he did.
>> That being said, at this point
[8:38] um
[8:40] we could set a public hearing for the
zoning for June 10th to go along with
[8:44] the public hearing for the
um flood plain prevention with the
[8:49] revisions that we just talked about. So
we can keep that process moving. So this
[8:54] is so there's two things going on.
Uh lead agent as a town board for the
[8:59] back house
and also um
[9:03] um
the zoning.
[9:05] » The new law.
>> The new law.
[9:07] » Or revised
>> The revised law.
[9:09] » So we don't have to go to the planning
board at the end of this um next week or
[9:12] anything with anything.
>> Well, they said that talking
[9:16] » at I'm confused now.
>> Well, Kim said that we could submit this
[9:19] anytime.
So if if you give the approval
[9:24] for me to
act on behalf of the town then
[9:27] officially then I can just start to
submit things that we need to submit. It
[9:31] won't be final approval until things are
done.
[9:34] » Yeah, I'm saying it. Do we have
I don't know what the planning board
[9:37] stuff, but I know different things are
fees. So, we as town are fees. I need to
[9:42] have money come into me
to issue checks.
[9:46] » They won't charge.
>> And that's what I was going to
[9:49] That's what I was going to ask about cuz
it says
[9:51] » Cuz if you have to go to the county,
they don't charge. And that's about all
[9:54] he's going to assume he's not going to
charge the town a fee.
[9:58] » We've done it before when we've done
stuff down at town hall. We've had to
[10:01] pay fees. That's not the question.
>> So
[10:03] » I don't need to be worried about
>> budget. So, with the with the with this
[10:07] option, are you saying that we had to
pay a fee for it to do that?
[10:10] » Yeah, something that we had to do that
we had to pay a fee and they sent it
[10:13] back and they lost the
check and we had to reissue and yeah.
[10:19] » So
>> It wasn't much.
[10:21] » Right.
>> But, that's why I'm just if we have to
[10:23] issue checks
>> Yeah.
[10:24] » we need to have something come in so I
can go.
[10:26] » Good good question.
>> Yeah, I was wondering about that.
[10:29] » you. So
>> Yeah, thank you.
[10:30] » So, the fee's high for the planning
board, but I can't imagine she's going
[10:33] to charge which is small.
>> I don't know what those are. out.
[10:36] I'll be over there trying to get that
fee.
[10:38] » Yeah.
>> I don't know what the town would charge.
[10:39] I don't know.
>> I don't know. That's
[10:41] » So, so So, now we have three different
discussions going on. Okay, so the one
[10:46] discussion is let's go back to the
zoning law, the revisions to the zoning
[10:50] law.
Um
[10:52] Can we set a public hearing for
um June 10th for the the revisions to
[10:59] the zoning law? Do you have a motion for
that?
[11:01] » I'll make that motion.
>> Okay. Do we have a second?
[11:04] » I'll second it.
>> Okay, so that'll be June 10th at
[11:09] say
6:30.
[11:14] So
>> It'll be 6:30
[11:19] » Thank you.
>> Thank you.
[11:22] » Okay.
[11:28] » Okay. So
>> Yeah. Oh, excuse me. Sorry for
[11:32] interrupting. Sometime could you send
Can you copy that off and send it to us
[11:37] so we know how many days in between
stuff's got to be and
[11:41] for notifications?
[11:45] » Yes, but
>> What's that?
[11:49] » I know. I just said sometime will you
send it out to us?
[11:53] » Yes, it's in there. It depends on what
you're doing.
[11:56] » Thank you.
>> And what legal notice you're doing. It's
[11:58] different for different ones. It's
three.
[12:01] » Well, if you have time, if you could
sometime send it out.
[12:06] » That would be great. So, all in favor
for the
[12:09] » Hi.
>> Hi. Thank you. Hi.
[12:12] Okay. So, that's number one. That's off
the table.
[12:15] The second is is the um
regarding the Black House. Tom and Dave
[12:21] have worked like 500%. Okay.
There is talk on the street about what's
[12:27] going on and they mean they should be
cuz they they're not familiar as to how
[12:30] this is going to work.
So, I think we need to
[12:40] Yes, I would agree, but
[12:43] So, absolutely. That I agree with all of
you. You're right. Um but
[12:48] So, what I'm looking for is for the Town
Board to approve going forward with the
[12:53] Black House
at
[12:56] um
with the idea that it's going to be
[12:58] volunteer. It's going to be at um
donations um that the money won't come
[13:03] from the
>> No taxpayer money.
[13:05] » No taxpayer money is a good way to do
it. Thank you.
[13:08] » How do they work like if they have
electricity
[13:11] or anything like that about those?
>> Well, the electricity part would
[13:15] initially probably have to go on to the
town, but I'm I'm hoping that eventually
[13:20] just um Clyde for instance, they have a
friends of the Black House. So, it'd be
[13:24] like more like the Georgie maybe. And Al
actually brought that up
[13:28] way back when we had those question list
of questions. I could see someone
[13:32] whether it be Asa Fitch or whoever
because I mean they take care of the
[13:36] cemetery. So, just incorporate it.
Eventually not have it on the town.
[13:40] » Yeah. I mean that's
>> That's what I'd like to see.
[13:43] » Yeah.
>> Just have a pri- a
[13:45] site
>> So, we can keep it so that it's
[13:51] » Right.
>> Right.
[13:52] » Well, you know, initially
I'm going to go ahead and put
[13:56] electricity in there to start.
>> Right.
[13:57] » We can just put the kind of the end
stuff, you know, we don't have to
[14:00] » an old primitive candle holder.
>> Yeah.
[14:03] » Start out
>> It's It is 1780s.
[14:06] » No.
>> Are you going to have anything in there
[14:09] about educational cuz I thought when I
go to the county they're going to
[14:12] require you for a bathroom and for that
reason.
[14:15] » I I talked to
Theo and he
[14:19] didn't seem to think too much about
bathrooms and stuff. He said there's not
[14:23] going to be any water
or anything like that. So, that's going
[14:27] to be a discussion we'll certainly have
you know, to find out these things cuz
[14:32] he said I said what about it? And he
said, "Well, you got to got to give me
[14:35] the
a- okay's first then we'll then we'll
[14:38] talk about it, you know."
>> So, um I have a question.
[14:44] » Sure.
>> Liability?
[14:47] How's that work? This is
>> That would have to be under the
[14:49] insurance for the town. Yeah.
>> Okay.
[14:51] » That has to be you don't get away from
that. So, I mean that's
[14:54] But I can't believe it would be.
>> Oh, no.
[14:57] We have Yeah, we have insurance on that
lot anyway.
[15:00] » Yes. How is the town?
>> Yes, we do.
[15:02] » Town property.
>> Mhm.
[15:04] » Yeah.
>> Just to clarify.
[15:05] » Yeah, you know.
>> Yep.
[15:06] » Um good question.
>> Yeah, it is a good question.
[15:09] Any other questions?
[15:12] Okay.
So,
[15:16] So, at this point um
So, that's n- number two request is to
[15:21] do the town board as lead agent for the
lock house.
[15:25] With the amendments that we talked
about.
[15:28] Do we have a motion for that?
Did somebody motion that already?
[15:32] » I'll make a motion.
>> Okay, do we have a second?
[15:36] » I'll second it.
>> Okay, any more discussion?
[15:41] Any any more discussion on that? No.
All in all in favor.
[15:45] » Aye.
>> Aye.
[15:46] » Aye.
>> Thank you.
[15:47] So that's number two. Number three would
be since Stan has been working so hard
[15:52] at doing this, what I'd like to do is
suggest that he be the our town board
[15:57] liaison
to go to the planning board to answer
[16:01] questions and keep going forward with
this project.
[16:05] » Um, I'll make that motion.
>> You need to because you already said it.
[16:09] That's what this is for.
>> I I I I
[16:11] I'd like it back in the minutes again.
Yeah, I I mean we can have it four
[16:15] times, sir.
>> I'll second it.
[16:19] » Okay.
Okay.
[16:21] Any any questions on that?
All in favor.
[16:24] » Come back to us then and tell us what we
got.
[16:27] » Yeah.
>> I see you.
[16:29] » Yeah.
>> Yeah, all in favor.
[16:30] » Aye.
>> Aye.
[16:31] » Thank you. I know that was confusing.
Um, I tried to try to clarify this as
[16:36] best I could.
Okay, um
[16:40] Other business just real quick. Uh,
I talked to uh Robert
[16:44] Robert Judd who is the okay with having
his name said.
[16:48] Um, he's
sending a check for 2,500
[16:53] for stump removal. He's very specific
about where he wants those stumps
[16:57] removed and he wants to give it to the
tree committee. So the tree tree
[17:01] committee can go forward, but what he
says is he wants it done in primary
[17:05] locations like Main Street,
you know, West Broadway, East Broadway.
[17:09] He wants it
>> William Street.
[17:11] » I was Sorry, I don't know where William
Street is. There's like seven. There's
[17:14] like seven.
So
[17:17] » I'll go there.
>> Yeah.
[17:20] So
[17:24] We have Landon Landon Nelson and said he
had some Josh Josh who is we've had
[17:29] before he does a good job too is also
and he
[17:35] He's great too.
They're both good.
[17:40] So right.
So anyways
[17:44] so
I lost in the mail.
[17:47] You've been following a FedEx truck
around for 3 days now.
[17:50] » What happened to the mail?
>> That's $2,500 check.
[17:54] I went back and went back to them and
today it's coming to my house. I think
[17:59] what happened is they were going to the
town office door
[18:02] and no occupancy.
And so it didn't know where to go.
[18:08] So I put my email my address on it
because somebody's there to receive it.
[18:14] Um
So I just wanted it in the books that
[18:17] it's coming.
And it would have been deposited into
[18:21] the general fund
for the tree committee for stump
[18:24] removal. Would that work Cathy?
[18:30] Um any other business?
>> I have a couple things and this is just
[18:34] something for us to think about.
I know we don't have a sidewalk per se
[18:39] but I see a lot of
business signs
[18:42] advertising their businesses on our town
property and stuff. Is that legal?
[18:48] Or should we look into like
I just
[18:53] There's just something not kosher about
that. I don't know
[18:55] » It's like it's like real estate the real
estate signs and then there's
[18:59] » There's all kinds of
>> I don't think it's legal.
[19:01] » Yeah we had them taken off at the
courthouse.
[19:03] » Is that is
elevation hill revelations or is it
[19:07] listing on both?
I don't think it's on both or thing that
[19:11] they did in Georgia. Danielsville.
Danielsville. Okay we've been on both.
[19:14] » But it doesn't really matter who
it is, but it's a sign match.
[19:17] » Or what happened?
>> It's I think it's interesting cuz I
[19:20] looked into this before.
Um because it they with those state
[19:24] things, they consider them temporary.
>> Right.
[19:27] » Okay, and so
does temporary mean 5 days? Does it mean
[19:30] 10 days? Does it mean 4 years? I have no
idea.
[19:32] » Right. And like where he's got it now at
the cemetery of Horner. Yeah, cemetery
[19:36] road of Horner. The county's going to
come in there and try to mow around it
[19:39] and
>> Yeah.
[19:40] » Then we have a mess.
>> Yeah.
[19:42] And they're I see their signs like like
on a on a tree or a pole and I'm just
[19:48] like
>> And start signs are in the road.
[19:50] » That's they're in the middle of the
>> Yeah, yeah, but you don't know where
[19:52] they are in
>> I don't know where that line is.
[19:54] » I don't either. I'm not involved. I've
never been involved with that.
[19:57] » It's a It's a sign law that is There's
about We have about three of them.
[20:02] And I've read through the three of them.
None of them make any more sense
[20:05] anymore. Okay. It's It's something that
we should look at and revise.
[20:10] » Yeah, just yeah.
>> And so Let me see if I can pull up all
[20:14] the current sign laws that we have.
>> Okay, it's no hurry. It was just a just
[20:17] small thing.
>> I I saw somebody raise that question.
[20:20] » Oh, you did?
>> On Facebook, yeah.
[20:21] » Oh, okay.
>> Uh and I'm kind of curious myself. And I
[20:24] think somebody chimed in and said, "No,
you can't do
[20:28] commercial things like if you have a
roofing one on
[20:32] downtown Portland.
You can't do it. You can put it on a
[20:34] private lot, but you can't.
But I don't know.
[20:39] Good question.
>> It is a good question.
[20:43] » So
>> The third one would be on county
[20:45] right-of-way up there.
>> So why don't we we pull out the ones
[20:49] that we have?
>> We only have one sign law. It was done
[20:51] by our employee. He said it wasn't good.
It needed to be done, but because they
[20:55] were pushing to do it, that's all we
had. Anything the village had is not
[20:59] ours. They didn't adopt anything the
village had.
[21:02] » Did that include the um you know, like
the Salem Food Pantry or Salem Food
[21:06] Pantry? the um Salem farm supply used to
have them out by Scouts Lake Road, and
[21:12] they were considered the um large size
>> The maximum size is 3 ft by 4 ft.
[21:17] » But that was that is a law because I've
seen it, but it's town because it's town
[21:21] property. It wasn't town property. So,
let's let's
[21:24] » If the sign was there before Al did
this, it doesn't apply. And he's got
[21:28] that right in there.
>> Do you remember it used to be when the
[21:30] village was here, it was 2 by 3, I
think.
[21:33] » Right.
>> That was Salem for the village. The
[21:36] biggest sign you could have is 2 ft by 3
ft.
[21:38] » And like the courthouse has an
advertising at Apple Festival, it makes
[21:41] perfect sense cuz once Apple Festival,
they sell the tickets, it's gone it's
[21:45] gone. Right, they'll use them next year.
>> I was going down on the board of public
[21:48] works and head waters of the Apple
Festival.
[21:50] » Right. And that's to me that's fine
because it's such a temporary thing.
[21:53] It's not they're not really a business
to me. But when somebody's advertising
[21:57] that's I and they don't even get a
fight.
[22:00] » And do they follow
>> They're going to get a fight.
[22:03] And do they follow the this company or
>> know what? You know where it was? It was
[22:07] in Greenwich. That's where I saw them.
It was somebody in Greenwich complaining
[22:10] about the same thing. And what they were
doing is they're picking them up and
[22:14] dropping them on the supervisor's front
step.
[22:18] So, it wasn't in Salem, it was in
Greenwich.
[22:22] » Yeah. You have to have them up and you
have to have them down.
[22:25] » Period.
>> That's the that's the
[22:26] » And I and that's the state
>> Does this company even belong to our
[22:30] chamber of commerce?
>> I'm your advertising your company you
[22:33] know.
Let's let's let's review it.
[22:35] » Yeah, let's let's
>> Let's let's find it, review it, and see
[22:37] what and and everybody think about it
because that way if we all think about
[22:41] it and we look at others than us in
other rural towns, maybe there's a
[22:45] template there that fits better than
what we have. It's worth it's worth
[22:48] looking at. You agree, Howard?
>> Sure.
[22:52] » Okay.
>> And then the second thing is um when you
[22:55] have free hands of the head of the board
of public works, we have nothing else to
[22:58] talk about sometimes, but um
it was brought up about the electric
[23:02] scooters and the Lime bikes.
And New York State law says you have to
[23:07] be 16 and a helmet.
>> Mhm.
[23:09] » But the kids up at the school and I
addressed this
[23:13] countless times at our safety meetings
up at the school.
[23:15] » Mhm.
>> Both friends have yelled but they don't
[23:17] know what they don't know what the rule
is. Well, kids are going out the parking
[23:20] lot, you know, there's cars coming and
going and now we're on the sidewalk.
[23:25] And we don't have a law for that either
because it's brand new but I will
[23:29] forward everybody what Tanya
sent to me
[23:33] what the law is.
Oh, you've had seen it? So, you
[23:37] » Absolutely.
>> Yeah, there's a crazy thing.
[23:40] » So, all we need is a little bubbles to
come out and reinforce them.
[23:43] » Yeah.
>> Yeah.
[23:44] » I mean, it's scare it's very scary.
Yeah, because they mean
[23:48] They mean in and out of traffic.
>> Young young kids on those things and
[23:51] it's just crazy.
>> Yeah.
[23:54] » Yeah, there's set that comes down
through here like
[23:57] » And they just scootch across the street.
>> Well, I saw
[23:59] » And today a guy driving a bike and
helmet, a kid on
[24:03] seat with his back with his baseball
outfit on and stuff. You saw that?
[24:09] » Yeah.
>> And he had no helmet no nothing.
[24:12] » And I'm sitting so straight and they go
over the back end.
[24:14] » And there is no question that probably
fall down.
[24:18] » However, you know, if
>> I mean, look at the amount of ATV
[24:22] accidents we had.
You know, I mean and
[24:26] I mean
>> It's not like this is a school thing.
[24:28] Should be something that should be
resource officers should do a sessions
[24:32] on or something up at the school.
>> It's still great and I'm not giving up
[24:37] on that. That's the first week of June
that will be addressed on that Tuesday.
[24:41] But
but they're also going down our
[24:43] sidewalks.
>> They're down on these Broadway sidewalks
[24:46] earlier today in the rain.
>> Yeah.
[24:48] » And she was going how much to what you
know, thing and the water is flying at
[24:51] it. So, they're going down too.
>> 17 miles an hour?
[24:55] » No, sir.
>> That's what they all
[24:58] I don't know what I'm saying.
>> It's very white.
[25:03] » I'm I'm in total agreement.
>> That's just
[25:07] » That's that.
>> I've been meaning to bring him up the
[25:09] last couple months and I've got home and
I didn't bring him up, you know.
[25:11] » Yeah, that's right.
>> They used to run down when the
[25:14] politicians or whatever protesters are
on the corner. That was the one that
[25:17] used to be in this whole getup.
>> Yeah.
[25:20] » Flying that sign around.
>> Basically.
[25:22] » Brenda, um
I know um
[25:25] Sergeant Sullivan does a prom prom
>> Yes, he does.
[25:28] » And when is that? It's a June
>> June 6th is the prom.
[25:32] » So, I know he's coming in June.
>> Do you have to take a picture?
[25:35] » Yeah.
>> We're taking a picture on the 5th.
[25:37] » Oh, so so maybe it's June 5th. I Let me
reach out to them. I heard that before.
[25:42] » It's June
5th.
[25:44] Yeah, that's what I got.
>> Okay, so
[25:46] » is a Friday and
>> So, the Friday before the prom is when
[25:49] he will come in and talk with them and
do the
[25:52] I I encourage everybody to come.
It's He's been doing it for a while.
[25:57] He's
does a great job with it. And um
[26:00] » And Billy Webster's gotten into all the
high schools now crossed out by the
[26:04] property up at the court. And so we got
that safety issue.
[26:07] » Yeah. Webster's good.
>> That's good. So, what are they doing
[26:11] then?
>> With the e-bikes.
[26:12] » We'll talk to him about it in a minute.
>> e-bikes, yeah.
[26:14] » They're so fortunate I saw them the
other day. I didn't I didn't beep the
[26:18] horn and said, "You're not supposed to
be doing that." And I won't tell you
[26:22] what the response was.
Cuz they cross from diagonal to their
[26:25] kitty corner. They're not crossing the
way they're supposed to. It's crazy.
[26:29] Just cuz it's quicker and it's easier.
Hopefully nobody gets hurt.
[26:33] » Yeah. Yeah, that's the hope. I mean,
it's been
[26:35] » Sometimes it's not big kids either. It's
>> I mean, the last month the the ATV
[26:41] accidents have been really um
wicked in that. It's been wicked.
[26:45] » Mhm.
>> Um so, that's what we're trying to
[26:47] keep our city
the best we can.
[26:49] » At At that
is if we have some kind of legal
[26:53] something. I and I'm not
I hate laws.
[26:56] » But the educational thing
The educational piece would be helpful.
[26:58] » I see the education part.
>> Yeah, it would be really important.
[27:01] » Yeah.
So, do we have any other business?
[27:04] » Um yep, I got two things.
[27:07] » Did you get the insurance to give me for
your event this weekend? I have not seen
[27:11] it.
>> Oops. Okay.
[27:13] Okay.
>> Please keep us posted.
[27:15] » Laura.
>> I already have some.
[27:17] » Go ahead.
>> Yeah, two things.
[27:20] CJ sent me a text today, said that
the county is wants some more insurance
[27:26] from his vendor.
He's been on the phone with him for the
[27:30] last 3 days, the vendor pushing them to
get the insurance to him.
[27:34] Um to the county so he can get that.
He's apologizes and he's trying, so that
[27:42] was his text to me today.
Um
[27:45] the other thing is is
there's
[27:50] there's rumors now about the Glens Falls
Hospital
[27:53] bit going around.
Um
[27:57] can we, just for our sake,
are they going to send us an email or
[28:02] can we get an email stating that they
aren't
[28:05] re-doing the lease?
Because people have heard that we're
[28:10] kicking them out and I just think we
need something in writing that it's not
[28:14] us, they're leaving.
>> Okay.
[28:17] Yeah, I'll send a note up to Rick.
And have a good day.
[28:21] » Yeah, that way it just can say it's
nothing to do with the town, it's Glens
[28:24] Falls Hospital is deciding they're
changing.
[28:28] Nobody knows why, so
>> Yeah.
[28:31] Okay.
Um anything else?
[28:35] » Well, just that.
>> That's all I got.
[28:37] » Thank you.
>> We got uh nice egg is going to give us
[28:40] three trees
that uh
[28:44] to plant. We just have to pick out the
committee's going to
[28:49] pick out which ones and they're they're
actually smaller so you could actually
[28:52] do a shovel plant. Well, they're going
to get 1-gallon
[28:56] uh 3-ft tall in a gallon so we'll have
to figure out where those are going to
[28:59] go.
And Travis
[29:03] I could do that, yeah.
right up front.
[29:06] » Nice.
>> And um Travis did get a hold of me today
[29:09] and uh he wanted to know where we wanted
to plant and he would mark the spots.
[29:14] » Great.
>> So we're planning to See what's going
[29:16] on.
>> Teamwork on it. I love it.
[29:18] » Record that, please.
>> some nerves.
[29:21] » I'm actually really
super excited about it.
[29:25] On Friday night they're
supposed to be here.
[29:29] Main Street and Shushan
us in East Broadway to assist putting up
[29:36] Salem has, I believe it was 69 banners.
So
[29:40] in East Broadway and Shushan, I believe
it was 17.
[29:45] The ultimate goal is to have those
banners up in Salem and Shushan
[29:52] by the time the sun rises on Memorial
[29:57] That is the goal.
>> I love an optimist.
[30:00] » Excuse me?
>> I love an optimist.
[30:01] » We Well, we have reached out to numerous
individuals and as you know, you you've
[30:06] been one of the one of the parties here.
Um there's been some volunteers and
[30:10] there will be some more
once I really feel confident that once
[30:14] they start seeing these banners are
beautiful, ladies and gentlemen.
[30:18] Absolutely beautiful. You you'll you'll
be proud.
[30:21] Um I think once a few of the individuals
and excuse my expression, but may very
[30:27] actually see what's happening, I think
they probably will say, "Hey, can I give
[30:31] you a hand?" Um Andy Hervey has really
orchestrated this like to a T.
[30:39] Um I know he's still at water school,
but yeah, but with that being said, I I
[30:45] just want to say
here we come and that's the ultimate
[30:49] goal.
>> Nice.
[30:50] Did they all get Did they all get
Did the list get filled? Cuz I was down
[30:55] the South Dory and he told me they
needed needed a sponsor break.
[30:59] » Uh um I do believe that everybody
received one that
[31:04] wanted one.
>> Okay. Okay.
[31:05] » Um I do know that there's two that are
in the process of still being ordered
[31:11] » Okay.
>> because they didn't meet the deadline.
[31:13] » Okay.
>> One thing that I do want to share with
[31:15] the board and the town, this is this is
an ongoing um
[31:20] event.
>> I got phone calls, so I wondered
[31:22] » An ongoing event. So that the purpose
was was to get them done by Memorial Day
[31:28] so we could start our stuff here in
Salem.
[31:31] » But somebody could still order one.
>> Absolutely. It's not a closed
[31:35] » or
>> Or excuse me.
[31:37] » It would still be the same
>> Right. Through the American Legion
[31:39] office so that's the
>> same form cuz I have
[31:42] » Yes, the same form and everything
Yes.
[31:46] And like I said, can't thank all the
volunteers and and I'm very optimistic,
[31:51] Tom.
>> If that's the
[31:53] » You'll find out something about me.
I'm waiting for this for a long time and
[31:58] » It's great.
>> Monday morning when the sun comes up, it
[32:00] would be nice to have
our community be able to share that
[32:03] with.
>> But do they designate the poles or
[32:06] whatever?
>> Um that actually when people have
[32:11] put the application in,
they might Okay, they might say I'd like
[32:16] to be down on West Broadway because
maybe my you know, that's where I grew
[32:19] up.
Okay, I know that
[32:22] Bricky Clark School is going to be in
the center of town.
[32:26] Um Dorothy has made some really great
ideas, you know, Jew Moore, some of our
[32:32] some of our community. I know that
Gary Slater wants to be with Oh gosh,
[32:37] why can't I think of his name? Double
brackets, we have single one is best
[32:41] buddy. They went off to service
together. Gary came home and his buddy
[32:46] just passed away not too long ago. So,
they want to be on the same, you know,
[32:51] like I said, I just got to say kudos to
getting it done and um
[32:57] Monday morning, God willing and creek
don't rise.
[33:02] The weather was good for it. Doesn't
matter. Doesn't matter. You know, like I
[33:05] said last night at our auxiliary
meeting, those men and women, they stood
[33:09] in the rain.
You know what? I I guess
[33:12] being the old farmer.
[33:16] God willing.
[33:24] But these are
[33:28] They are absolutely
And so, that would be another little um
[33:32] hiccup and stable on Friday. What we're
doing that and get some.
[33:37] » So, I'm going to go forward with Dan
from what you just said. The the hiccup
[33:41] we're talking about is Mike Phillips,
the contractor, is taking down that
[33:44] building on Friday.
>> Oh.
[33:46] » Okay.
>> Oh.
[33:48] » So, we'll be busy.
>> I've been talking with him back and
[33:50] forth um
So,
[33:53] they yes, they contractors is it was
either this Friday and Saturday or it
[33:59] was going to be after 4th of July.
There's sites up there that are loose.
[34:03] There's a board up there that's loose.
Every time I'm checking to make sure
[34:07] everything's still loose on top of the
roof because that makes
[34:11] Yeah, it's a yeah.
So, um
[34:14] very thankful to have it coming down.
And so, we talked to John DePree because
[34:19] the tax sale is going to be there
they're pushing it back. And I'm going
[34:23] to reach out to I think it's auxiliary.
>> It's auxiliary.
[34:27] » Oh, yeah. I think it's auxiliary. I
don't care if you use my front yard. It
[34:31] might be safer than there next to a
demolition house with asbestos and
[34:35] things like that.
>> They're all just canvas. That's where
[34:39] they come from.
>> Yes.
[34:42] » Yes, and I think there's others that are
going to be getting them also. So
[34:47] I'm going to I saw a thing where
somebody was going to bring a flatbed.
[34:51] » I got more phone calls at 9:00 in the
morning and more space and it's not a
[34:55] town but they think it's town cuz it
says town line.
[34:59] I'm like, I can't do anything for you.
He wanted I gave him Presbyterian. I
[35:04] said, get on them
you know, Facebook cuz there's nobody
[35:07] there.
>> Yeah.
[35:08] » So I'll try to reach out to auxiliary
and ask if that um
[35:12] done and see, you know, cuz
we could put up a cone. The John
[35:17] DePree's and my suggestion is run a
construction tape
[35:22] and keep them in the back part away from
it.
[35:24] So that's a possibility.
Um but
[35:27] I think that
keeping people away from there we would
[35:31] be better off keeping people away from
the demolition church rather than
[35:34] encouraging them to go back.
[35:38] With the with the tags.
[35:42] » You own it.
>> Fireman
[35:45] they rented.
>> I said it's a nice open space kind of
[35:50] » Yeah.
>> Just I have one more thing.
[35:53] » Yeah.
>> I I sent you all the I sent decided I
[35:56] should send you all that QR code thing
this one last meeting he was here and I
[36:01] was just about to replace them and my
ones I replaced last about a year. He
[36:06] said I can do that for the last three
years or more. So he's doing it for
[36:09] nothing.
So it's he's and the goal is again to
[36:13] have them done for the weekend before
Memorial Day.
[36:16] The QR codes.
So that instead of the yeah, they're
[36:20] nice
vinyl.
[36:22] » We have to get them just so much fun.
>> Yeah.
[36:25] » We have one. there.
>> They're dripping all over.
[36:28] » One more thing, as tomorrow is the Salem
Community Day day and so everybody's
[36:32] going to be working hard with the
students. I think Brendon will go down
[36:35] with the Georgia cleared Georgia.
>> Tomorrow?
[36:39] » Or next week.
>> Tomorrow.
[36:41] » Oh, Stacy wanted some kids to be able to
read them.
[36:45] » That's June 10th.
>> Nice.
[36:47] » Over June 10th.
>> Yes.
[36:51] » Um, so everybody who's participating
tomorrow that's really it's a great day.
[36:57] It's really incredible to watch and they
worked hard. Some
[37:01] They worked hard.
>> Yeah.
[37:04] » Okay.
>> Both of them.
[37:05] » So, the other thing is on June 5th, Mary
Skelly and Cindy Rogers will have be
[37:10] having their last reenactment at the at
the Veterans Park.
[37:14] Um,
as a town, I am always very proud to say
[37:18] because at the
Board of Supervisors, I've heard many
[37:21] times say, "Well, you know, the kids
aren't taught about local history
[37:25] anymore." Well, let me tell you, in
Salem, you better learn it
[37:29] and you're going to experience it and
you're going to have food from it and
[37:33] you're going to make the food and you're
going to understand the muskets and the
[37:37] They do it have done an incredible job
and they're both retired.
[37:40] » Who's the other one?
>> Mary Skelly and
[37:43] » Cindy Rogers.
>> Um, I encourage everybody to go see the
[37:46] last one. I'd love to see you
>> 11:30 on Friday and she actually invited
[37:51] you and myself and some other and Al cuz
Al was in the one of the first ones
[37:56] and I think he she's going to try to get
John Hubbard too cuz he was
[38:00] one of the first people to do that
stuff. So,
[38:03] » So, it's an exciting day.
You know, I I would love to think about
[38:08] I think we should give them a
proclamation something. I don't think we
[38:12] say thank you enough. I mean, they've
been doing how many years of this?
[38:15] » Yeah, a lot of years.
>> Is it 30? 30 something years?
[38:18] » Yeah, it's got to be.
>> Yeah.
[38:21] » Long time.
>> Long long time. Anyways, very much
[38:23] appreciated.
>> Consider the revolutionary works on
[38:25] material of yours.
>> It's in the park.
[38:28] » Yeah.
>> Um at the Veterans Park.
[38:33] » Any other business to come before the
board? Yes, Scott.
[38:38] » I did notice that seemed like Jim Gainey
is trying
[38:41] » Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
[38:49] » I I did notice that they were definitely
back further than today and and more
[38:53] space in there. So.
[38:57] Yeah, good thing.
[39:00] » Yeah.
Yeah, it's terrific.
[39:04] So.
[39:09] » Keep our buddy up. Keep our buddy in
your prayers. He's not doing well.
[39:15] Sure.
Had a motorcycle accident.
[39:22] Yeah, that's the cool.
[39:34] » That's the same as the mayor.
>> We need to do something to have a motion
[39:38] and a proclamation.
>> Yes, please.
[39:41] You want to make that motion?
>> I'll make that motion.
[39:44] For a proclamation to appreciation
against the wicked dog.
[39:48] » Proclamation appreciation for the city
guys are taking for for the mayor Scott.
[39:53] » I'll second it.
>> Any more discussion?
[39:57] » No.
>> All in favor.
[39:59] » I.
>> I. Thank you.
[40:00] » He's on the
>> Thanks, everybody.
[40:03] Okay, any other business?
[40:06] Public comment?
[40:09] No. Okay.
[40:13] Okey doke.
[40:18] Okay.
