[2:05] On which she served from 2003 until her retirement in 2024, and it's still a current member of the Comprehensive Plan Update Committee, the CPUC. And whereas, as we appreciate the many years, she's spent on the CPC with a position of chair, a very continued devotion to the CPUC. And whereas we thank she'll suffer for her service and her dedication to our community. We acknowledge, with much respect,

[2:33] Joseph is examples of leadership, loyalty, and citizenship.

[2:38] Whereas it is a privilege to have Joseph as a member

[2:42] of our sororities community.

[2:44] And whereas we recognize Joseph as a distinguished citizen,

[2:48] and whereas Joseph is given a friendly sororities

[2:51] congratulation on her retirement from the CPC.

[2:54] Therefore, I, supervisor Fred Costello Jr.

[2:59] And the town board members of the town of sororities

[3:01] recognized December 11th, 2024 as Josephic Utrulius Day and Sorgonius New York.

[3:08] sign by supervisor Fred Pastello and channel board members Lee and Thornton,

[3:13] Pegna, Micah Vina and Zach Horton. Congratulations, doesn't matter.

[3:18] .

[3:48] .

[4:12] .

[4:12] I'm going to give you a big big present.

[4:21] Hi there.

[4:22] Hi there.

[4:34] I'm moving a little bit.

[4:37] There we go.

[4:39] And you keep covering well.

[4:42] Thank you so much.

[4:51] Thank you.

[4:51] Congratulations.

[4:54] Thank you so much.

[4:54] You got to have a great day.

[4:56] I'm going to have a great day.

[4:58] You can have a great day.

[5:36] of the comment, if somebody here lives with a touch of the board, you're welcome to raise your hand.

[5:44] We're going to, we're going to amend the OSU related to ARPA sorbidies.

[5:54] During the pandemic, it was offered $1.7 billion of ARPA funding.

[6:02] When that money became available, we did our best to use it in ways that would see further

[6:10] the unit or cost savings.

[6:13] And, I think, overwhelmingly did do that.

[6:17] However, there's a couple of projects to achieve.

[8:25] Payments, $9,360 in one cent,

[8:30] $17,743 in 58 cents.

[8:34] It's their second discussion.

[11:28] The National Excellence presented a challenge point

[11:33] to observe that color for his work.

[11:37] It was gifted on behalf of Dr. P.D.

[11:39] of the Health Alliance Hospital for his efforts

[11:42] to try to see that operator's life.

[11:59] I just started.

[12:01] Unfortunately, now we've got a lot of reading,

[12:03] so it's going to make a little difficult,

[12:04] but they are going to try to keep working

[12:07] as long as they can through the winter.

[12:10] I'd like to also thank Mike Gallipino on Thanksgiving Day.

[12:14] There was a tree that broke off and was hanging over the road.

[12:20] And I would notify him.

[12:25] We're going to be hard to do when we get on the day of the tree hanging.

[12:29] So he donated his bucket trunk to

[12:35] the tree.

[12:38] Did that Thanksgiving even make a trip to Fort Durham?

[12:51] In order to stand.

[12:52] I have no report.

[12:53] just

[12:57] like to report we had a great day in the holiday in the village sponsored by the

[13:02] Chamber of Commerce and the curious to have Santa was there greeting all the children who

[13:08] came in and lots of hot chocolate cookies were prices for the kids there was a heading

[13:15] zoo also so I think we probably had 700 plus kids and parents again so it was a great day in

[13:23] Village, whether cooperated this year was a cold rainy day like it has been in the past.

[13:30] Staff committee was supposed to meet last night but unfortunately several of the members

[13:35] had some health issues and we didn't have a forum so our meeting will be postponed now until

[13:41] January 14th.

[13:42] It's all like that.

[13:43] Thank you.

[13:50] because of the holidays season, how many times I'm going to be in the hospital, the

[13:55] CAC and the Parks and Parks Committee, before going there meetings this month, but after

[14:00] speaking to Skid, I think the big part, the CAC focus and interest leading into 2025 will

[14:06] be how to get more involved and how to increase the zero waste initiative that being had success

[14:12] that's what the cargo festival.

[14:13] So, instrumental probably involve a different conversation

[14:16] with you, Greg, as well.

[14:17] See how big that can be, and Hanson.

[14:19] Now, what rules we can keep in play there.

[14:22] That's all I really have moving forward

[14:24] to the parks next to me.

[14:26] Holiday dinner, that time does yet to be determined,

[14:28] but that's all I have.

[14:30] Thank you.

[14:35] Move on to motion resolutions.

[14:37] Mr. Mayor.

[14:39] A motion to accept Joe Utilis retirement

[14:44] from the conference planning.

[14:46] Second.

[14:47] It's got a sheet.

[14:50] Just thank you once again.

[14:52] Folks have done some pretty amazing work.

[14:57] Those who got the shirt on the board were really bad.

[15:00] Part of that, and those who have come later really have developed a deep appreciation for the work that the committee has done. It's all volunteer, and we're going to be looking for folks to fill some bain disease in a short amount of time before it is started.

[15:15] For example, being next here, there's any interesting parties, please let us know.

[15:22] Any further discussion?

[15:25] Mr. Smith?

[15:26] Yes.

[15:26] Mr. Gordon?

[15:27] Yes.

[15:27] Mr. Gordon?

[15:28] Yes.

[15:28] Have we?

[15:29] Yes.

[15:30] Like I've made the motion to approve the proclamation as the reference or something to it.

[15:35] Second.

[15:37] Discussion?

[15:38] Mr. Smith?

[15:39] Yes.

[15:40] Mr. Gordon?

[15:41] Yes.

[15:41] Mr. Gordon?

[15:42] Yes.

[15:43] Have we?

[15:43] Yes, I'd like to make a motion to approve the resolution as I'm

[15:47] filed granting limited immunity to the county of green from

[15:50] especially used permits for requirements, found service

[15:54] only law for green County, E-911, radio tower facility.

[16:00] It's your second.

[16:03] Thank you for starting discussion.

[16:05] So green County is going through a similar process that

[16:11] for county has been going through and they're trying to upgrade their emergency services, communications network.

[16:20] Geographically, they found a unique anomaly where the communications tower that will be placed on the mountain of the Hunter

[16:29] had a clear line of sight to parcel land in sort of any of my story's farms.

[16:36] that they asked if we would entertain hosting that facility with the understanding that we would be able to use it if it's suited our needs as well.

[16:46] And I just want to very happy to apply to that.

[16:51] They still, we need to go through the planning process by using the Monroe Doctrine.

[16:56] It's

[19:24] the same type of control, fun and for the same manner, although it's a likely base throughout the future discussion.

[19:31] Mrs. Namp?

[19:32] Yes?

[19:33] Yes.

[19:35] I would be asked.

[19:37] Like you make a motion to allow the supervisor to sign and propose space schedule and service agreement between the town of Sorghumies and advanced testing company,

[19:46] I am to see as a file in regards to disorganized animal shelter base one for special inspections and material testing.

[19:57] Second discussion.

[19:59] We are getting to the person ordered fees for our project.

[20:03] One of the services we are going to need during our project success is to make sure that the concrete being used

[20:11] from foundations and the footings and the floor are too respected.

[20:16] They're describing this independent company

[20:20] that will be part of the challenge for those types of tasks.

[20:24] Any further discussion?

[20:26] Mrs. Now, yes.

[20:27] Mrs. Story, yes.

[20:28] Story, yes.

[20:29] Emily Heps, the late-to-be emotion to allow the Sue Resort to sign

[20:32] a health and research agreement with CDPHP,

[20:35] which also encompasses the dental agreement

[20:37] for 2025 from town sure.

[20:42] discussion. Our plan will expire February 1st. Those who are supposed to process

[20:50] no, there was a very substantial increase to retain the plan that we had for 2024.

[20:58] The plan that we are adopting this evening aligns itself most closely with the benefits

[21:06] they were offered by that plan. It does change the doubles for individual family members

[21:11] under the HRI. The town has participated in those at a level of 80 percent. We'll continue

[21:19] to do that with employees who choose to take this plan. By doing it a little bit early,

[21:26] we were able to negotiate a little bit better price. We have a pretty long-standing relationship

[21:33] of CBP, HP at this point, and this also protects the integrity of the relationships that

[21:39] our employees have developed with their doctors and the care network.

[24:10] Sir Jackie Zang, from a point-time law officer to a whole-time provisional law officer,

[24:16] effective money in December 16, 2024, to be preyed at a rate of $30.63 in the hour.

[24:24] Second discussion

[24:28] Jackie's been with us for just about a year and a half and two years.

[24:34] Yeah.

[24:36] He's a proven self-keyable working with the system.

[24:41] He has been working temperate full-time for probably about a year working with a mid-natured

[24:50] discussion.

[24:54] Yes.

[24:54] Yes, I can make a motion to promote officer Amber calls to provisional sergeant.

[25:04] I have effective January 6, 2025.

[25:08] Any rate of $35 is going to be five cents per hour.

[25:15] discussion, who she wants to say a few words. I have a big case to remember. She's certainly

[25:22] going to be a natural leader in an excellent mentor. I think she's really well positioned. I also want to

[25:30] celebrate her approach to making this promotion. She established an independent panel of non-employees

[25:38] to review the applicants who are eligible for this promotion.

[25:42] And we heard some very nice things about many of our staff members.

[25:47] But they unanimously agreed that Amber would be the best selection at this time.

[25:52] But she won't comment if you're doing that because of these promotions.

[25:57] When they come up, they're very short after.

[25:59] You know, so much of her feelings.

[26:01] But doing it this way, I thought it was very thoughtful.

[26:03] The first time I'm aware of it, we did something like that.

[26:11] Take blue and then I'll probably do a picture too.

[26:14] Okay, he builds on his anything.

[26:17] Very good now.

[26:18] Yes.

[26:20] Mr. Wurt.

[26:20] Yes.

[26:21] Have a yes.

[26:50] Congratulations.

[26:51] Congratulations.

[26:52] Thank you.

[26:57] Thank you.

[27:00] Thank you.

[27:01] Thank you.

[27:02] Thank you.

[27:02] That's not all.

[27:03] Thank you.

[27:04] Well, that's what I want to do.

[27:06] Thank you.

[27:07] Thank you.

[28:43] Go help yourself with some cookies before you sit down.

[29:15] This is a motion.

[29:18] We now so we're going to amend a reading as amended.

[29:24] Lithuanian motion to flex the remaining $47,576.

[29:30] ARPA funding, American Rustic Plan Act, funds to be related to projects pending.

[29:36] Counting, counting.

[29:37] Second.

[29:40] Second.

[29:41] discussion. So as I indicated, there was some projects that were concerned enough that we would not be able to complete for the end of the year when this funding had to be pledged.

[29:56] and the... and the...

[30:00] Other monies that were just allocated, we didn't consume all of them. For example, the King's

[30:06] House of Board of District, the original allocation was 350. We don't need a 200 of that

[30:11] amount. So those changes accountable, moralize and conferred, but we will be using the balance

[30:20] of those funds to fund, to communicate the movement for the town, starting these facilities

[30:27] Police from Tower on Homebook Road, which we ran into the New Elser County Community

[30:34] Service and Community Station Tower in Corridill, wire upgrade at the police station, including

[30:41] computer hardware pack and a new call recorder.

[30:46] We also are going to use it for various expenditures related to the addition at the office for

[30:53] of the Parks Department and the Cyclefield Straitage Project and Coast Associate with Pickleball

[30:58] towards the dog park. So these are expenditures that we were already made. They were all

[31:03] qualified and the expenditures that we are not going to reach have discussions about how

[31:12] to do those about the support of our property. Thank you for the discussion. I want to thank

[31:26] We knew we had to allocate the money for the end of the year, but it wasn't as clear as it became that we actually had to show that we were going to spend this money for the end of the first quarter of 2025.

[31:37] I'm sure notice they were able to help us find projects that were qualifying and appropriate

[31:47] for this particular use, and this will ensure that we were able to use the revenues to $1.7

[31:57] million.

[31:57] It was afforded to our community, so this was a rare, unexpected thing to happen as a result

[32:04] of COVID.

[32:05] But it allowed us to do some pretty extraordinary things in the otherwise, but not being able to include all in the dog park and improvements to expanding water and sewer roofs at the water and sewer facilities and now in the Glasgow, some equipment that we were deferring because we didn't have the resources to replace at the time.

[32:25] and this was a welcome opportunity to make some needed infrastructure improvements and not burdened little tax barriers with those expenditures.

[32:39] Any further discussion?

[32:41] Mrs. Downe.

[32:42] Yes.

[32:43] Yes.

[32:44] Yes.

[32:45] Yes, I will, yes.

[32:47] Motion to accept the resignation for permanent full-time employment status in the Parks and Parks Billings Department.

[32:53] Brian A. Herschel has for the recommendation of the Parks and Billings Superintendent.

[32:58] Second.

[32:59] Discussion.

[33:01] Brian is the link of what is available to be sure to time.

[33:06] He is very enthusiastic in learning how to serve speaking tea and install a casual equipment.

[33:14] and he seems to want to pursue that at this point in his career, certainly wishing to

[33:20] best.

[33:21] We're grateful for its time on this little Ryan for quite a long time who's a fun young man

[33:28] to be around and a very dead kid to wherever he's doing so, thank you for your service

[33:33] those for your sure period of year and we're sure that we'll see the best in your future

[33:37] endeavors.

[33:39] No, you don't know Ryan's brother-in-law, but Fred said it pretty well. He's in the process of pursuing another opportunity.

[33:47] That might give him the opportunity to dive deeper into the trades.

[33:52] So, like Fred said, which is the best, and I appreciate his efforts while he was going to tell him.

[34:00] Okay, now we're going to have a head.

[34:02] Thank you very much.

[34:03] Okay, this is now.

[34:04] Yes.

[34:06] Yes.

[34:07] Oh, yes.

[34:09] Motion to approve Jared Amique in the Parks and Buildings Department.

[34:14] We are training as ice arena's Zamboni operator at the rate of $18 an hour upon completion

[34:22] of training, the elderly rate will increase to $19 an hour as per the previously approved

[34:29] salary guidelines, recommendations for non-full-time staff not covered in the department's

[34:37] N-R-M-O-A, as per the recommendation of the ice arena director and the parks and building

[34:45] Thank you.

[34:47] Second.

[34:48] Discussion?

[34:51] Sir, it's going to be a minute.

[34:52] The charity's work.

[34:53] God will last four or five garlic festivals for us.

[34:59] He's expressed his interest in learning, his ammoing.

[35:03] He recently left his job that he had.

[35:08] Just wasn't his cup of tea.

[35:10] And I think he's going to do real well and open up like another individual that we were hoping was going to train as a sample only operator.

[35:23] He did for a couple of weeks and then got a whole thing to speak.

[35:27] And it just wasn't his property.

[35:31] This is going to fill a void back in.

[35:33] and I'm over, I lost, you lost, I mean,

[35:36] part-time San Antonio operator, another individual

[35:39] who's been with us for his high school years.

[35:44] He's got a full-time teaching job,

[35:46] and basically he coaches in the other school district.

[35:53] He used to handle a Sunday mornings,

[35:55] which is not always a popular shift.

[35:57] That starts at six in the morning.

[36:04] Yeah.

[36:05] Yeah.

[36:05] It's

[36:35] all in the silence.
