1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:04,031
Educating, informing, serving. Fact TV, keeping government

2
00:00:04,300 --> 00:00:04,740
honest.

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,340
You are watching a Fact TV presentation of the Village of Saxton's

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,880
River trustees meeting.

5
00:00:15,060 --> 00:00:18,560
So this is Amy Hewlett calling the meeting to order.

6
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:21,930
This is the Village of Saxton's River meeting March 16th,

7
00:00:22,180 --> 00:00:25,580
2026 at 7:00 PM at

8
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:27,700
24 Main Community Building.

9
00:00:28,940 --> 00:00:31,620
That's the call to order, and my name is Amy Hewlett.

10
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:36,740
And are there any adjustments to the agenda?

11
00:00:37,340 --> 00:00:40,040
New items to be ratified at a later meeting?

12
00:00:40,820 --> 00:00:41,040
Oops.

13
00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:42,420
I don't think so.

14
00:00:42,820 --> 00:00:46,180
I would suggest that since Inesa was here, we move

15
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:50,540
discussing the auditor's report to follow immediately

16
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:53,900
bills. Is that okay with everybody?

17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:54,640
Yeah.

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,360
I think annual meeting will take a little bit.

19
00:00:58,660 --> 00:01:02,620
We have a bunch of executive sessions at the end,

20
00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:06,760
and I've marked those for my assumption about whether action will be

21
00:01:06,820 --> 00:01:10,800
required. I don't know, of course, but there'll be that when we get to it.

22
00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:13,200
And it sounds like Kristen. It is.

23
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:17,130
All right. Public comment.

24
00:01:18,340 --> 00:01:20,560
Anybody on Zoom with public comment?

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,520
None.

26
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:23,360
And we got that TV that he says.

27
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:23,960
Yes.

28
00:01:24,140 --> 00:01:24,480
Okay.

29
00:01:25,420 --> 00:01:25,940
We do have

30
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,740
Stan is here, Stan Telstra.

31
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:29,500
Hey, Stan.

32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:32,360
He's unmuted.

33
00:01:32,380 --> 00:01:33,940
So do we have bills to approve?

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:34,460
Yes.

35
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,100
We're on to that.

36
00:01:35,380 --> 00:01:36,720
They will start around.

37
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,060
Yes.

38
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,060
We'll give Inesa a beat to do that.

39
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:41,890
Different things.

40
00:01:42,170 --> 00:01:42,340
Mm-hmm.

41
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:47,180
It looked to me like wastewater treatment was making up for lost time.

42
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:49,980
Yes.

43
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,420
So Amy, you've got

44
00:01:55,540 --> 00:01:58,840
$7,289.70.

45
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:01,140
The warrant, which is online for everybody to-

46
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,200
To view

47
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:06,020
... view is 20 items, $7,289

48
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:10,440
and 78 cents. I'll make the motion that we approve the warrant

49
00:02:10,801 --> 00:02:13,200
for tonight in that amount. Is there a second to that?

50
00:02:13,209 --> 00:02:13,209
Second.

51
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,520
It's been moved and seconded to approve the warrant of

52
00:02:16,530 --> 00:02:20,000
$7,289 and 78 cents.

53
00:02:20,780 --> 00:02:21,940
I looked it over.

54
00:02:22,740 --> 00:02:24,960
I didn't see anything surprising.

55
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:28,700
Inesa, anything you wanna draw attention to?

56
00:02:28,780 --> 00:02:32,700
No, the OCT is a little bit late. I'm glad we caught that.

57
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,300
I'm glad you caught that.

58
00:02:35,580 --> 00:02:39,460
I do not have a printout for, I just got an email

59
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:41,580
from Norwich for

60
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,460
wastewater treatment electric. So it's

61
00:02:45,470 --> 00:02:47,900
$843.

62
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,180
Is this our solar?

63
00:02:49,250 --> 00:02:50,280
But it's in a total. Yeah.

64
00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:50,740
Yeah.

65
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,500
Yeah. So I don't have a printout.

66
00:02:52,620 --> 00:02:56,340
Does it sometimes say Norwich Solar and sometimes Green Day?

67
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:56,900
Yeah.

68
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:57,280
Okay.

69
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,700
Green Day is financials. It's their

70
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,900
financial system.

71
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:02,400
Okay.

72
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,580
But it comes from Norwich as a company.

73
00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:05,260
Yeah.

74
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,140
So electrical installations, I think the plant

75
00:03:10,220 --> 00:03:13,480
also had some kind of emergency things you mentioned.

76
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,269
Yes. I don't remember the specifics, just that-

77
00:03:17,420 --> 00:03:18,020
Troubleshoot

78
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,940
... it took a lot of people working long hours over the weekend to get it

79
00:03:21,980 --> 00:03:22,359
fixed.

80
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,240
So looks like-

81
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,780
What was it?

82
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,380
I don't remember, Matt.

83
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,220
Looks like troubleshoot

84
00:03:29,980 --> 00:03:31,320
issues with the plant.

85
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,570
So it was kind of extraordinary expense-

86
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:34,769
Mm-hmm

87
00:03:34,769 --> 00:03:35,150
... I'd say.

88
00:03:35,710 --> 00:03:36,140
Yeah.

89
00:03:36,150 --> 00:03:37,230
And where are they coming from?

90
00:03:38,540 --> 00:03:41,269
So that is the floor we're looking for, from New Hampshire somewhere.

91
00:03:41,580 --> 00:03:42,360
Yeah.

92
00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:45,580
That's about it. The rest is... So I'm passing on also

93
00:03:46,540 --> 00:03:49,860
closure of our community national bank.

94
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,200
So they already issued $169.

95
00:03:53,060 --> 00:03:54,180
I deposit it in our-

96
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:54,940
Great

97
00:03:55,060 --> 00:03:56,140
... operating. Yeah.

98
00:03:58,020 --> 00:04:01,920
So that's that. And just for those in attendance, what

99
00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:05,780
we're doing right now is we all take a look at the bills,

100
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,380
and then we sign off on them.

101
00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:12,750
Are you ready for the vote, or would you like to wait for the bills to come

102
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,880
around?

103
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:14,360
I'm ready.

104
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:15,700
No, you can vote.

105
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,320
All right. The motion on the floor is to approve the warrant of

106
00:04:19,329 --> 00:04:23,120
$7,289 and 78 cents. All in

107
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,240
favor, please say aye.

108
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,010
Aye.

109
00:04:25,010 --> 00:04:25,960
Aye. Opposed?

110
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,450
The ayes carry the motion. All right, discuss the auditor's

111
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,360
report and recommendations.

112
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,150
So I went to the auditor's meeting, and

113
00:04:36,220 --> 00:04:40,100
they were thrilled to see me, which was a nice

114
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:40,820
reaction.

115
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,880
The main thing they're concerned, this was my take, and I know you've worked

116
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:48,599
with them, so if you have a different one, please interrupt me.

117
00:04:48,980 --> 00:04:52,240
I think the main thing they would like to see from us is a

118
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,160
step-by-step procedure that talks about what we actually

119
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:56,400
do.

120
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,040
So they were surprised to find out that Ellen Clark Lawrence was no

121
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,560
longer opening the mailbox and approving the mails and putting together- ...

122
00:05:04,650 --> 00:05:05,060
a warrant.

123
00:05:05,620 --> 00:05:06,360
Are you serious?

124
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,640
Yes, I am serious. So these are not things that we have written

125
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,500
down, Matt, and they would like a written procedure from us.

126
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,440
So this can be the business of the new

127
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,200
board if you want, when we have new people

128
00:05:23,860 --> 00:05:27,840
on board. But I think the main thing is Inesa should not

129
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,460
be opening the mailbox and taking the envelopes out and

130
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:35,060
looking in them. We are too small for that to be good.

131
00:05:35,620 --> 00:05:38,980
I believe completely that Inesa is honest, but

132
00:05:39,540 --> 00:05:42,780
it allows a person to look at the mail,

133
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,700
substitute something, put it on the warrant, and have us

134
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,400
approve it, which is

135
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,800
something that happens all over Vermont in very small

136
00:05:53,820 --> 00:05:54,790
towns.

137
00:05:54,820 --> 00:05:57,180
So as I had said in the past,

138
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,680
years ago when I was on the board, the mail came,

139
00:06:02,340 --> 00:06:03,260
and it was opened

140
00:06:04,292 --> 00:06:04,912
And we

141
00:06:05,772 --> 00:06:07,972
went through it all, three-

142
00:06:08,032 --> 00:06:09,392
Open at the meeting.

143
00:06:09,432 --> 00:06:10,872
Yeah. At the meeting.

144
00:06:11,372 --> 00:06:12,872
Oh.

145
00:06:13,732 --> 00:06:13,912
So

146
00:06:15,172 --> 00:06:16,552
that would take care of it, right?

147
00:06:17,512 --> 00:06:17,952
That would.

148
00:06:18,312 --> 00:06:18,492
Right.

149
00:06:18,632 --> 00:06:19,222
So I can go-

150
00:06:19,242 --> 00:06:21,432
So someone can get the mail, just don't open it

151
00:06:21,612 --> 00:06:23,112
... and bring it to the meeting.

152
00:06:23,172 --> 00:06:26,112
But then we need to establish-

153
00:06:26,412 --> 00:06:28,832
No, somebody else should actually take it out.

154
00:06:30,392 --> 00:06:31,252
And that's my feeling.

155
00:06:31,272 --> 00:06:31,762
Okay. All right.

156
00:06:31,772 --> 00:06:32,832
To get it on the fourth

157
00:06:32,852 --> 00:06:33,212
But then-

158
00:06:33,262 --> 00:06:33,672
Leave it here.

159
00:06:33,872 --> 00:06:33,992
Yep.

160
00:06:34,192 --> 00:06:35,122
Not open it.

161
00:06:35,142 --> 00:06:35,142
Yep.

162
00:06:35,152 --> 00:06:37,312
But then it has to be, um-

163
00:06:37,712 --> 00:06:39,012
But then it has to be added up.

164
00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:39,792
Added up.

165
00:06:39,972 --> 00:06:43,792
Yeah. So Louise Lauren was doing that task when I took over the chair

166
00:06:43,872 --> 00:06:44,272
from her.

167
00:06:44,612 --> 00:06:44,832
Right. Yeah.

168
00:06:44,972 --> 00:06:48,952
I took it on for the first year, and then it felt like too

169
00:06:48,992 --> 00:06:51,372
much for me, and Ellen took it on for a year.

170
00:06:51,912 --> 00:06:55,852
So I would suggest that you have this discussion at the reorganization

171
00:06:55,932 --> 00:06:59,852
meeting, or the one following the reorganization meeting, and see what makes

172
00:06:59,952 --> 00:06:59,961
sense.

173
00:06:59,961 --> 00:07:03,572
So someone else get the mail, open it up, tally it up-

174
00:07:03,912 --> 00:07:04,032
Yep

175
00:07:04,252 --> 00:07:05,272
... and bring the warrant.

176
00:07:05,432 --> 00:07:05,612
Yep.

177
00:07:05,792 --> 00:07:09,132
Whatever has been received at the

178
00:07:09,212 --> 00:07:09,822
mailbox-

179
00:07:10,072 --> 00:07:10,232
Right

180
00:07:10,312 --> 00:07:11,452
... prior to the meeting.

181
00:07:11,532 --> 00:07:11,712
Yep.

182
00:07:11,752 --> 00:07:11,822
And

183
00:07:12,672 --> 00:07:13,712
enter the warrant.

184
00:07:14,052 --> 00:07:14,192
Right.

185
00:07:14,232 --> 00:07:14,532
Mm-hmm.

186
00:07:14,542 --> 00:07:14,542
Okay.

187
00:07:14,552 --> 00:07:16,222
And enter into the list. Right?

188
00:07:16,312 --> 00:07:16,752
Enter it?

189
00:07:17,432 --> 00:07:18,392
Yes. Ideally.

190
00:07:18,632 --> 00:07:18,932
Yeah.

191
00:07:19,102 --> 00:07:19,372
Yeah. Because-

192
00:07:19,452 --> 00:07:20,992
Right, because there's others that are...

193
00:07:21,952 --> 00:07:22,892
Right.

194
00:07:22,952 --> 00:07:24,672
That was what I had been doing.

195
00:07:25,732 --> 00:07:27,112
I was the one that made that

196
00:07:29,172 --> 00:07:31,412
electronic warrant for everybody-

197
00:07:31,552 --> 00:07:31,812
Mm-hmm

198
00:07:31,852 --> 00:07:33,712
... and giving everybody access to it.

199
00:07:33,812 --> 00:07:34,012
Right.

200
00:07:34,932 --> 00:07:37,032
But then you had wanted to change it and get rid of all the-

201
00:07:37,572 --> 00:07:38,892
I think this is...

202
00:07:41,472 --> 00:07:45,462
I just feel this is the way to do it. People can look at it, and I know

203
00:07:45,512 --> 00:07:46,132
in the past,

204
00:07:48,552 --> 00:07:52,492
board members, trustees have looked through it and say, "Well, didn't

205
00:07:52,512 --> 00:07:56,232
we already pay this?" Or, "What is this for?" Instead of just

206
00:07:57,092 --> 00:07:57,902
a line item-

207
00:07:58,352 --> 00:07:58,362
Mm-hmm

208
00:07:58,362 --> 00:07:59,352
... and approve it.

209
00:07:59,432 --> 00:08:00,072
The

210
00:08:02,852 --> 00:08:05,812
spreadsheet that I had done made it very simple to search on.

211
00:08:06,812 --> 00:08:07,432
Fabulous.

212
00:08:08,772 --> 00:08:08,972
Yeah.

213
00:08:09,192 --> 00:08:11,252
To prevent that from happening. So typically-

214
00:08:11,872 --> 00:08:12,602
Oh, I have a question

215
00:08:12,602 --> 00:08:12,922
... Right. But we're-

216
00:08:12,952 --> 00:08:16,892
As you point out, like at the meeting, somebody says, "Wait, didn't we pay

217
00:08:16,952 --> 00:08:17,152
this?"

218
00:08:17,232 --> 00:08:17,572
Right.

219
00:08:17,652 --> 00:08:20,152
And then you say, "Well, that would've been in July.

220
00:08:20,572 --> 00:08:21,752
Let's go back and look."

221
00:08:22,012 --> 00:08:24,052
Right. It's pretty easy to look at this.

222
00:08:24,372 --> 00:08:26,972
We don't carry those notes anywhere in the meeting.

223
00:08:27,032 --> 00:08:27,132
Right.

224
00:08:27,252 --> 00:08:27,492
So.

225
00:08:28,152 --> 00:08:32,052
So it's pretty easy to look at a spreadsheet and go, "It's the same stuff,

226
00:08:32,132 --> 00:08:32,832
and okay."

227
00:08:33,072 --> 00:08:33,413
Yeah.

228
00:08:33,653 --> 00:08:35,182
But if you look at it here-

229
00:08:35,273 --> 00:08:39,172
As a new member, the spreadsheet was something

230
00:08:39,293 --> 00:08:41,341
I didn't have time to decimate and look at.

231
00:08:41,632 --> 00:08:43,612
I just kind of relied on everyone else.

232
00:08:44,273 --> 00:08:44,472
Okay.

233
00:08:44,512 --> 00:08:48,072
And this is more tangible, but I'm sure everyone's different.

234
00:08:48,112 --> 00:08:48,222
Mm-hmm.

235
00:08:48,932 --> 00:08:50,512
And I actually do have a question.

236
00:08:50,841 --> 00:08:51,072
Mm-hmm.

237
00:08:51,652 --> 00:08:54,872
These seem like three different bills, but you only signed the first one?

238
00:08:55,432 --> 00:08:56,912
The amounts are different at the bottom.

239
00:08:57,592 --> 00:08:58,712
You should add them all.

240
00:08:59,192 --> 00:08:59,492
Yep.

241
00:08:59,872 --> 00:09:00,112
So-

242
00:09:00,652 --> 00:09:01,042
Thank you

243
00:09:01,052 --> 00:09:03,572
... my assumption is that the

244
00:09:05,432 --> 00:09:09,032
charges from the wastewater treatment plant to the Village of

245
00:09:09,072 --> 00:09:12,972
Saxton's River were held up for a period, and then they caught up

246
00:09:13,012 --> 00:09:14,052
and sent us a bunch.

247
00:09:14,212 --> 00:09:14,492
Mm-hmm.

248
00:09:16,432 --> 00:09:17,092
From who?

249
00:09:17,632 --> 00:09:18,912
Wastewater treatment plant.

250
00:09:18,952 --> 00:09:19,202
Bill.

251
00:09:19,292 --> 00:09:21,572
Our contract with Bell is involved.

252
00:09:22,192 --> 00:09:22,202
Really?

253
00:09:23,292 --> 00:09:23,472
Hmm.

254
00:09:24,152 --> 00:09:28,092
So you'll see, for example, there are a couple for sludge removal.

255
00:09:28,332 --> 00:09:28,592
Mm-hmm.

256
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:32,972
We don't do that every week. I mean, that's not-

257
00:09:33,212 --> 00:09:35,232
Right. That's monthly.

258
00:09:36,592 --> 00:09:38,172
It's periodic.

259
00:09:38,312 --> 00:09:38,692
Yeah.

260
00:09:38,772 --> 00:09:39,172
Yeah.

261
00:09:40,962 --> 00:09:43,012
Are these different, or just three different $30?

262
00:09:43,212 --> 00:09:46,732
I think those are the sloughs for these. Are they not?

263
00:09:47,052 --> 00:09:48,172
No, the amounts are different.

264
00:09:48,212 --> 00:09:48,992
When they-

265
00:09:50,092 --> 00:09:51,332
Well, this isn't a bill.

266
00:09:51,372 --> 00:09:52,712
Right. It's a sloughs.

267
00:09:54,012 --> 00:09:55,192
They put them at

268
00:09:56,312 --> 00:09:59,312
the monthly in the bill. I can find an example.

269
00:10:00,852 --> 00:10:01,792
What's

270
00:10:02,612 --> 00:10:04,042
the name for them? Do you have something?

271
00:10:04,972 --> 00:10:05,852
Four Point?

272
00:10:07,012 --> 00:10:08,092
Yeah. Four Point.

273
00:10:09,212 --> 00:10:09,712
Okay.

274
00:10:12,792 --> 00:10:14,752
Well, this doesn't look like a bill.

275
00:10:16,012 --> 00:10:16,072
It is-

276
00:10:16,082 --> 00:10:17,052
It looks like a receipt.

277
00:10:17,112 --> 00:10:20,452
It isn't a bill. It is on monthly bill.

278
00:10:20,591 --> 00:10:23,352
Come on. Let me just

279
00:10:23,411 --> 00:10:29,242
have

280
00:10:29,252 --> 00:10:32,222
a... Look natural.

281
00:10:32,392 --> 00:10:34,752
Mm-hmm.

282
00:10:37,632 --> 00:10:40,152
Here. 30 and 30.

283
00:10:40,292 --> 00:10:40,302
Yeah.

284
00:10:40,312 --> 00:10:41,232
So it's a statement.

285
00:10:41,572 --> 00:10:41,752
Okay.

286
00:10:41,812 --> 00:10:45,112
And those that's signed their tickets.

287
00:10:45,952 --> 00:10:47,512
Right. So it's not on here?

288
00:10:47,772 --> 00:10:50,772
30. Nope. That is just the total.

289
00:10:51,032 --> 00:10:51,472
Well, that

290
00:10:52,672 --> 00:10:53,772
seems ridiculous.

291
00:10:54,192 --> 00:10:55,392
This is February.

292
00:10:59,192 --> 00:11:01,092
That's why they send those yellow things.

293
00:11:04,812 --> 00:11:05,972
It's part of the process.

294
00:11:06,912 --> 00:11:09,152
So we have separate bills-

295
00:11:09,752 --> 00:11:10,012
Mm-hmm

296
00:11:10,252 --> 00:11:11,272
... for these.

297
00:11:11,932 --> 00:11:12,042
Nope.

298
00:11:13,172 --> 00:11:14,252
Well, it's in a statement.

299
00:11:14,342 --> 00:11:14,342
Okay.

300
00:11:14,372 --> 00:11:16,052
It's not a bill like this.

301
00:11:16,172 --> 00:11:18,752
Right. So we should be signing the statement.

302
00:11:18,792 --> 00:11:19,902
That's the bill. Right.

303
00:11:20,432 --> 00:11:20,992
And not...

304
00:11:22,112 --> 00:11:25,792
I mean, we should be signing this and not

305
00:11:25,852 --> 00:11:27,492
these. If this-

306
00:11:27,832 --> 00:11:28,112
Sure

307
00:11:28,172 --> 00:11:28,612
... and

308
00:11:29,592 --> 00:11:30,052
this

309
00:11:32,132 --> 00:11:32,792
is on there-

310
00:11:32,972 --> 00:11:33,112
Right

311
00:11:33,272 --> 00:11:34,692
... that's what we need to be approving.

312
00:11:34,832 --> 00:11:37,192
This eventually will be like this. Yes.

313
00:11:37,992 --> 00:11:41,592
So this is February, compilation of February tickets.

314
00:11:41,852 --> 00:11:42,152
Mm-hmm.

315
00:11:42,172 --> 00:11:45,212
And then March would be compilation of all March.

316
00:11:45,272 --> 00:11:48,912
So these three that we just approved, are they on there?

317
00:11:49,592 --> 00:11:50,872
They're February.

318
00:11:51,592 --> 00:11:52,352
297.

319
00:11:54,032 --> 00:11:57,282
297. 297 was prior, actually, in February.

320
00:11:58,572 --> 00:12:01,812
So this isn't what we should be signing.

321
00:12:02,392 --> 00:12:05,392
That's what we need to be signing, because you're going to take that off and pay

322
00:12:05,472 --> 00:12:05,532
it.

323
00:12:06,432 --> 00:12:06,672
Right.

324
00:12:07,972 --> 00:12:08,112
Yeah.

325
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:09,480
Yeah.

326
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:10,000
Sure.

327
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,789
Yeah. So I'll make sure I'll have-

328
00:12:12,820 --> 00:12:13,880
All right. So you want these

329
00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:15,960
signed? Okay.

330
00:12:18,380 --> 00:12:20,900
I'll make sure I will have a statement with all the tickets.

331
00:12:22,020 --> 00:12:25,139
Yeah. Right. This is what we're approving to sign.

332
00:12:28,260 --> 00:12:32,020
I wondered if the auditors had issues with our portal, but they

333
00:12:32,060 --> 00:12:34,580
didn't. They said, "No, we're used to electronic

334
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,960
payments." That's what they said.

335
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,740
And I do have the feeling that that's helped us out immensely with-

336
00:12:41,060 --> 00:12:41,300
Mm-hmm

337
00:12:41,359 --> 00:12:42,300
... some of our routines.

338
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,720
Right. And we eliminated their billing because it was

339
00:12:45,780 --> 00:12:47,900
all confusing.

340
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,240
Oh, goodness. It is.

341
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:49,590
Mm-hmm.

342
00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:53,120
Just like this.

343
00:12:53,420 --> 00:12:56,710
Back to the auditor's report. Anything else that caught your eye, Inesa?

344
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:57,060
Well,

345
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,420
I emailed you all about going back to the write-ups and policies.

346
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,780
I grabbed some examples from the VLCT, and we can adapt them,

347
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,100
make them simple, and I already start working on that.

348
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,220
I wonder if when I'm done, I can email you all.

349
00:13:13,299 --> 00:13:17,120
We can have it on agenda, and then just go over them and nail

350
00:13:17,180 --> 00:13:18,020
them maybe if you can.

351
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,920
That sounds good. We have a meeting scheduled for April 6th.

352
00:13:22,460 --> 00:13:23,160
Does that sound-

353
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:23,520
Yeah

354
00:13:24,780 --> 00:13:25,300
... appropriate?

355
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:25,460
Yeah.

356
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:27,700
Okay. So let's do that on April 6th.

357
00:13:28,060 --> 00:13:29,620
I'm sorry, what are we doing on April 6th?

358
00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:33,200
Inesa's going to send us a week ahead of time.

359
00:13:33,340 --> 00:13:33,520
Right.

360
00:13:33,540 --> 00:13:34,260
Is that possible?

361
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:34,520
Just-

362
00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:37,179
A proposed procedure memo.

363
00:13:37,220 --> 00:13:38,620
Take a look at them, yeah.

364
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,700
For us to review and adopt or adjust or reject.

365
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,580
I'll just follow what they're saying.

366
00:13:44,620 --> 00:13:48,420
Somewhere there is a list, the line up, so

367
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:49,860
those will be the policies.

368
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,120
Sounds good to me.

369
00:13:51,140 --> 00:13:52,180
And then we go above and beyond.

370
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:52,640
No.

371
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,360
I mean, we can adopt them later.

372
00:13:57,140 --> 00:14:00,820
And I would recommend going forward that we continue to name a trustee who

373
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,270
approves expenses that come up out of the blue,

374
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:07,020
if it's a while towards the meeting.

375
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,900
The situation, it didn't happen with the wastewater treatment plant,

376
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,000
but it is often the wastewater treatment plant.

377
00:14:13,380 --> 00:14:13,480
Right.

378
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,740
Something has to be approved right away.

379
00:14:15,780 --> 00:14:19,179
We get a phone call, discussion of what it costs, and we

380
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,330
make, I make-

381
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:20,529
Mm-hmm

382
00:14:20,540 --> 00:14:24,249
... or when Ellen was the person, we make that decision right at the point and

383
00:14:24,249 --> 00:14:28,120
approve it. So that would be another recommendation to make sure

384
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,340
is included in the-

385
00:14:29,420 --> 00:14:29,500
Yep

386
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:30,140
... procedures.

387
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:35,080
Any other questions or discussion on the auditor's report

388
00:14:35,220 --> 00:14:38,740
or the business of approving bills as we go

389
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:39,620
along?

390
00:14:39,660 --> 00:14:40,430
No.

391
00:14:41,140 --> 00:14:42,420
Okay. Thank you, Inesa.

392
00:14:42,700 --> 00:14:44,840
Thank you for the auditors. The audit is approved.

393
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,200
Oh, they do a great job.

394
00:14:47,570 --> 00:14:51,200
Amy, I brought this also was in a mail, random things that Faith

395
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:55,070
again mailed us. I'm not sure if you had a chance to deal with

396
00:14:55,180 --> 00:14:55,720
them.

397
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,180
I dealt with them, and I referred them to Sean,

398
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:00,020
and-

399
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:00,780
Okay

400
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:01,500
...

401
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:05,020
now they're our account is F2.

402
00:15:05,340 --> 00:15:08,840
Because Faith sold us the

403
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,800
original rescue cab, they assume we still own it

404
00:15:12,860 --> 00:15:16,380
in spite of phone calls, emails, et cetera.

405
00:15:16,650 --> 00:15:16,650
Yep.

406
00:15:16,900 --> 00:15:18,600
Maybe I have to go in in person.

407
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:19,940
Okay.

408
00:15:19,980 --> 00:15:22,260
And there's also mail. I don't know if you want to hold onto it.

409
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,360
Just like information.

410
00:15:23,460 --> 00:15:27,180
I'll look at it and make decisions. Okay.

411
00:15:27,220 --> 00:15:29,249
Are we ready to move to the annual meeting?

412
00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:31,100
Sure.

413
00:15:31,140 --> 00:15:35,080
All right. I put down review of open seats, annual

414
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:37,620
report, and dedication, and

415
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,100
if there's anything else related to the open meeting,

416
00:15:43,660 --> 00:15:45,870
I thought this would be the time, and it looks like Carl has it.

417
00:15:45,870 --> 00:15:46,400
I have.

418
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,940
Like I've done in the past, the script or

419
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,060
motion. So just pass this around,

420
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,120
and if you could look it over before next meeting.

421
00:15:59,820 --> 00:16:01,760
Any suggestions,

422
00:16:02,620 --> 00:16:03,960
additions, changes,

423
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,440
typos, of which there will probably be many.

424
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:08,900
I like how you do it.

425
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,260
And-

426
00:16:12,420 --> 00:16:13,440
I don't think typos are a problem.

427
00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:13,940
Yeah.

428
00:16:14,140 --> 00:16:14,710
If you want-

429
00:16:14,980 --> 00:16:15,340
I think they're fine.

430
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,880
Yeah. They're not doing it phonetically.

431
00:16:16,890 --> 00:16:17,680
For this, yes.

432
00:16:19,340 --> 00:16:20,480
Here's an extra one.

433
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,040
Yeah. I made an extra copy. If-

434
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,260
So for the audience, this is a script, so we get through

435
00:16:28,319 --> 00:16:32,140
the nominations and votes for the

436
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:32,780
openings

437
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:33,900
with a

438
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,180
relatively smooth

439
00:16:38,260 --> 00:16:39,980
train of events.

440
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,460
So several of these have blanks. I nominate blank for the position.

441
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,000
So that will include the moderator because Ben's not going to be

442
00:16:49,060 --> 00:16:49,620
available.

443
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,410
Mm-hmm.

444
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,300
And two trustees who are

445
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,660
retiring and not running for re-election. That'd be Amy and I.

446
00:16:59,360 --> 00:16:59,820
Mm-hmm.

447
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,480
And I believe everyone else is up for re-election except for

448
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:06,921
Matt.

449
00:17:07,141 --> 00:17:08,560
Yeah. Matt's the only one who's not.

450
00:17:08,661 --> 00:17:10,230
So Ellen and Kristin-

451
00:17:10,260 --> 00:17:11,580
Do you plan to re-up?

452
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:12,860
Yes.

453
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:15,220
And

454
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,210
Kristin, there now are two

455
00:17:19,661 --> 00:17:21,340
two-year terms open.

456
00:17:21,411 --> 00:17:21,411
Oh.

457
00:17:21,411 --> 00:17:21,411
Oh, yeah.

458
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,661
If you are interested in two year-

459
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:24,200
Put her in

460
00:17:24,340 --> 00:17:24,800
... instead of one year-

461
00:17:24,901 --> 00:17:25,460
Put her on that

462
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:25,901
... let me know.

463
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,000
You can put me on a two-year.

464
00:17:28,370 --> 00:17:30,580
Okay. I'll put you on a four-year actually.

465
00:17:30,670 --> 00:17:34,500
I do have a question about Ben, and I will

466
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,110
double-check with him unless you guys have...

467
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,700
I thought he just was out for this particular meeting.

468
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:42,780
I didn't get the impression that he didn't want to serve.

469
00:17:42,820 --> 00:17:43,760
No, just this meeting.

470
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,020
Yeah.

471
00:17:44,260 --> 00:17:44,440
Right.

472
00:17:44,460 --> 00:17:44,959
Just this meeting.

473
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,740
But we have to elect somebody for the year for the meeting.

474
00:17:49,780 --> 00:17:49,960
Oh.

475
00:17:50,020 --> 00:17:50,440
Yes.

476
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:51,300
It's a one-year position.

477
00:17:51,310 --> 00:17:52,160
It's a one-year position.

478
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,990
And I thought his position went through this meeting, and then next year it would

479
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:56,470
be the other person-

480
00:17:56,470 --> 00:17:56,600
Nope

481
00:17:56,660 --> 00:17:57,680
... so it's reversed.

482
00:17:58,380 --> 00:17:58,389
No.

483
00:17:58,420 --> 00:17:59,100
Okay. Got it.

484
00:17:59,300 --> 00:17:59,440
Yeah.

485
00:17:59,820 --> 00:18:00,120
Okay.

486
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,840
So what's your pleasure? I can put it on Facebook, Front

487
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:04,660
Porch Forum.

488
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:08,400
I think we found Ben through your-

489
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:09,220
Mm-hmm

490
00:18:09,940 --> 00:18:13,120
... activity, but we certainly have plenty of good people in town.

491
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,230
So the people who are serving for one year, they're basically saying,

492
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,360
"I'll do it for the meeting we're presently voting them in for."

493
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:21,230
Mm-hmm. Interesting.

494
00:18:21,260 --> 00:18:24,940
There will be some other things that the moderator needs to

495
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,936
doThey're rare, but they're...

496
00:18:28,756 --> 00:18:31,855
Swearing somebody in, for example, if we appoint somebody in mid-

497
00:18:32,376 --> 00:18:32,616
Okay

498
00:18:32,796 --> 00:18:33,796
... in mid-year.

499
00:18:35,576 --> 00:18:39,516
I think the main things are, if it turns into a

500
00:18:39,556 --> 00:18:43,416
contentious meeting, you have those Robert's Rules things

501
00:18:43,476 --> 00:18:46,216
at your disposal. So for example,

502
00:18:47,076 --> 00:18:51,056
if you make a motion and the crowd disagrees with you, you have

503
00:18:51,096 --> 00:18:52,736
to know how to handle that.

504
00:18:52,796 --> 00:18:53,546
Right. But it's for that-

505
00:18:54,066 --> 00:18:54,066
That being-

506
00:18:54,066 --> 00:18:56,726
... we're electing the person to do it right on the spot, right there at that

507
00:18:56,726 --> 00:18:56,736
meeting.

508
00:18:56,756 --> 00:18:58,056
That's correct. Yeah.

509
00:18:58,096 --> 00:18:58,756
Yeah.

510
00:18:58,836 --> 00:19:01,396
So I'm also happy to make phone calls.

511
00:19:02,876 --> 00:19:06,496
I don't know if we have extra people here. Any of you interested?

512
00:19:06,556 --> 00:19:10,096
It's best if you have-

513
00:19:10,276 --> 00:19:10,406
What about-

514
00:19:10,406 --> 00:19:11,816
... Robert's Rules experience.

515
00:19:11,876 --> 00:19:13,536
What about Guy Ping? He's not-

516
00:19:14,576 --> 00:19:15,035
Possible.

517
00:19:15,296 --> 00:19:15,486
Yeah.

518
00:19:15,596 --> 00:19:19,176
I also thought of Pete Stickney. I have a feeling he did it for a while.

519
00:19:19,416 --> 00:19:19,836
Anybody?

520
00:19:19,876 --> 00:19:20,696
Pete would be a good one.

521
00:19:20,756 --> 00:19:22,056
I think he has done it, yes.

522
00:19:22,956 --> 00:19:23,096
Yeah.

523
00:19:23,196 --> 00:19:25,716
It does seem like if you need to know Robert's Rules-

524
00:19:25,876 --> 00:19:25,886
Yeah

525
00:19:25,886 --> 00:19:28,776
... that's a lot to take on to be voted on right then and there.

526
00:19:28,916 --> 00:19:32,416
It is, yeah. It's a big help if you're running meetings.

527
00:19:32,516 --> 00:19:35,296
I can contact Pete if you'd like.

528
00:19:36,276 --> 00:19:38,676
Or I can. I live right across the street.

529
00:19:39,076 --> 00:19:40,276
All right. You do it.

530
00:19:40,476 --> 00:19:41,656
Oh, I will talk to Pete.

531
00:19:41,756 --> 00:19:42,076
Okay.

532
00:19:42,396 --> 00:19:46,116
I'd love to have some women considered also, and I'm wondering if Anne Mann or

533
00:19:46,176 --> 00:19:47,736
McLarty might be interested.

534
00:19:48,036 --> 00:19:48,046
Oh, okay.

535
00:19:48,056 --> 00:19:51,956
It tends to be a one-shot slot. So it's

536
00:19:52,016 --> 00:19:55,976
a great way to step in and get the feeling, and I've always thought it was kind

537
00:19:56,036 --> 00:19:56,496
of fun.

538
00:19:58,896 --> 00:20:02,876
I have a question. So I know that Laura's interested

539
00:20:03,716 --> 00:20:06,596
in being on the board, and so is Andrew Dunbar.

540
00:20:07,236 --> 00:20:08,356
I mean, on the trustees.

541
00:20:08,716 --> 00:20:11,056
Are we jumping around here, or are we still on-

542
00:20:11,356 --> 00:20:12,576
No, we're still on the annual meeting.

543
00:20:12,596 --> 00:20:14,136
Yeah, we're still on the annual meeting.

544
00:20:14,696 --> 00:20:17,696
So if they're interested, do we fill these in?

545
00:20:18,876 --> 00:20:20,536
It's an open election from the floor.

546
00:20:20,756 --> 00:20:21,016
Okay.

547
00:20:21,616 --> 00:20:24,396
Those are the people that members of the board will nominate.

548
00:20:24,576 --> 00:20:24,776
Okay.

549
00:20:24,836 --> 00:20:27,016
But anybody else can be nominated from the floor.

550
00:20:27,256 --> 00:20:28,616
Yes. And that's healthy.

551
00:20:29,456 --> 00:20:29,466
Okay.

552
00:20:29,516 --> 00:20:32,696
Hey, don't feel too cocky about your slot.

553
00:20:33,116 --> 00:20:36,495
Oh, yeah, yeah. That's right. Oh, Ellen's out of here.

554
00:20:38,816 --> 00:20:41,316
Sorry. Please run again.

555
00:20:43,856 --> 00:20:47,676
Okay. So we'll put it-

556
00:20:47,726 --> 00:20:47,856
Let me just ask-

557
00:20:48,096 --> 00:20:48,676
... out to the general.

558
00:20:49,176 --> 00:20:50,096
Are you interested?

559
00:20:51,396 --> 00:20:51,546
Mm-hmm.

560
00:20:52,116 --> 00:20:52,555
Okay.

561
00:20:53,796 --> 00:20:54,576
One year or two?

562
00:20:56,476 --> 00:20:57,096
I can go two.

563
00:20:58,536 --> 00:20:59,236
I can go one.

564
00:21:02,276 --> 00:21:04,926
Rick Holloway, I discussed with him about running,

565
00:21:05,996 --> 00:21:07,596
and he's interested also.

566
00:21:07,836 --> 00:21:08,456
When was that?

567
00:21:09,636 --> 00:21:09,916
What?

568
00:21:09,956 --> 00:21:10,486
When was that?

569
00:21:12,596 --> 00:21:13,336
When was that?

570
00:21:13,636 --> 00:21:13,716
Yeah.

571
00:21:13,796 --> 00:21:17,696
Well, I think you know because you made a comment about it, that I wanted him on

572
00:21:17,736 --> 00:21:19,516
the board for the wrong reason.

573
00:21:20,636 --> 00:21:21,496
I don't know about that.

574
00:21:21,676 --> 00:21:21,936
Okay.

575
00:21:23,376 --> 00:21:24,356
But I talked to him.

576
00:21:25,096 --> 00:21:27,496
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying is how recently, because I talk to him at work,

577
00:21:27,576 --> 00:21:28,076
too.

578
00:21:28,176 --> 00:21:28,396
Okay.

579
00:21:29,636 --> 00:21:33,236
And we're talking about board members. We're not talking about moderator.

580
00:21:33,316 --> 00:21:33,566
Right.

581
00:21:33,596 --> 00:21:33,786
That's correct.

582
00:21:33,786 --> 00:21:34,396
Clear? Okay.

583
00:21:39,876 --> 00:21:42,516
Okay. Well, it's great to

584
00:21:42,616 --> 00:21:46,555
know ahead of time that there are people who are interested.

585
00:21:46,656 --> 00:21:48,076
That's terrific.

586
00:21:49,056 --> 00:21:52,476
And then once the board is elected, reorganization

587
00:21:52,596 --> 00:21:56,416
happens soon after, and you fight over who gets to be

588
00:21:56,516 --> 00:21:59,016
chair, who gets to be clerk. Although it's all appointed now.

589
00:21:59,025 --> 00:22:00,836
No, the clerk is elected separately.

590
00:22:01,096 --> 00:22:01,465
Oh, so the clerk doesn't run.

591
00:22:01,465 --> 00:22:02,916
Has nothing to do with the board.

592
00:22:04,456 --> 00:22:06,856
But that happens at annual meeting.

593
00:22:06,956 --> 00:22:08,076
It happens at annual meeting.

594
00:22:08,136 --> 00:22:09,536
So somebody could be clerk.

595
00:22:10,116 --> 00:22:13,956
And not on the board.

596
00:22:13,965 --> 00:22:14,596
Oh, that would be great.

597
00:22:14,976 --> 00:22:15,126
That would be huge.

598
00:22:15,126 --> 00:22:15,126
Great.

599
00:22:15,126 --> 00:22:15,126
Mm-hmm.

600
00:22:15,126 --> 00:22:16,376
It means coming to every meeting.

601
00:22:17,016 --> 00:22:17,196
Yeah.

602
00:22:17,776 --> 00:22:19,476
Doing the agendas, doing the minutes.

603
00:22:20,036 --> 00:22:21,876
But it'd be wonderful if someone wanted to do that.

604
00:22:21,976 --> 00:22:22,376
Oh, my God.

605
00:22:22,396 --> 00:22:23,715
Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

606
00:22:24,516 --> 00:22:25,646
So, and I wasn't sure-

607
00:22:25,756 --> 00:22:26,696
I would recommend-

608
00:22:27,496 --> 00:22:27,716
Mm-hmm

609
00:22:27,976 --> 00:22:31,916
... based on my experience, that you don't take on both jobs

610
00:22:31,976 --> 00:22:33,155
of clerk and trustee.

611
00:22:33,516 --> 00:22:33,726
Mm-hmm.

612
00:22:34,256 --> 00:22:36,096
I think it's hard-

613
00:22:36,356 --> 00:22:36,916
Overwhelming

614
00:22:37,156 --> 00:22:41,096
... it's hard to do both because I don't really participate much as

615
00:22:41,136 --> 00:22:43,816
a trustee because I'm busy doing clerkish stuff.

616
00:22:44,136 --> 00:22:44,376
Mm-hmm.

617
00:22:45,256 --> 00:22:47,876
So I think it's best to be two separate people.

618
00:22:48,056 --> 00:22:48,756
Yeah. I have to-

619
00:22:48,856 --> 00:22:49,396
Now, in the

620
00:22:50,296 --> 00:22:53,296
longest time, it's been the same person.

621
00:22:53,356 --> 00:22:53,406
Right.

622
00:22:53,456 --> 00:22:56,366
First me and then Celia Gordon. But-

623
00:22:56,536 --> 00:22:56,756
Mm-hmm

624
00:22:57,376 --> 00:22:58,286
... I think it's not-

625
00:22:58,616 --> 00:22:58,836
Mm-hmm

626
00:22:59,096 --> 00:22:59,996
... the wisest thing.

627
00:23:00,156 --> 00:23:03,956
So if the clerk is not a trustee, the clerk has no vote?

628
00:23:04,006 --> 00:23:04,346
That's correct.

629
00:23:04,346 --> 00:23:05,436
The clerk has no vote.

630
00:23:06,616 --> 00:23:10,256
The clerk has a lot of other authority, but no vote in the trustee business.

631
00:23:10,616 --> 00:23:10,626
Mm-hmm.

632
00:23:10,716 --> 00:23:14,576
And our use of you to do

633
00:23:14,716 --> 00:23:16,556
the budget and the-

634
00:23:17,756 --> 00:23:18,976
I do that as a trustee.

635
00:23:19,036 --> 00:23:19,856
As a trustee.

636
00:23:19,936 --> 00:23:20,286
Not as a clerk.

637
00:23:20,286 --> 00:23:21,656
Not as the clerk.

638
00:23:21,736 --> 00:23:23,366
So I inherited those jobs,

639
00:23:24,636 --> 00:23:27,246
at least one of them from Ben. I think both of them from Ben,

640
00:23:29,196 --> 00:23:30,656
who was not the clerk at the time.

641
00:23:30,676 --> 00:23:30,856
Mm-hmm.

642
00:23:32,036 --> 00:23:32,196
Okay.

643
00:23:32,296 --> 00:23:36,116
So we could vote you in as clerk and not trustee.

644
00:23:36,176 --> 00:23:37,336
Yeah, but I will decline.

645
00:23:39,036 --> 00:23:42,356
So it sounds to me like we should put the word out about that one as well.

646
00:23:42,576 --> 00:23:43,536
Yeah. Clerk, yep.

647
00:23:43,546 --> 00:23:44,146
And that we get that cleaned up.

648
00:23:44,156 --> 00:23:44,356
Yeah.

649
00:23:45,656 --> 00:23:48,016
And did you say the clerk gets a nominal-

650
00:23:48,836 --> 00:23:51,656
They get $325 stipend.

651
00:23:51,846 --> 00:23:52,136
Perfect.

652
00:23:52,256 --> 00:23:54,256
You should put that out there. You never know.

653
00:23:55,276 --> 00:23:55,286
Well-

654
00:23:55,436 --> 00:23:56,696
But that's for the whole year, right?

655
00:23:56,876 --> 00:23:56,956
Yeah.

656
00:23:57,076 --> 00:23:57,656
Yeah.

657
00:23:58,096 --> 00:23:58,416
Right.

658
00:23:58,456 --> 00:23:59,995
No, it's not per meeting, no.

659
00:24:01,676 --> 00:24:02,126
Well, there's a-

660
00:24:02,126 --> 00:24:02,476
There you go.

661
00:24:02,736 --> 00:24:02,776
I understand.

662
00:24:03,236 --> 00:24:03,416
Right.

663
00:24:03,596 --> 00:24:04,206
There we go.

664
00:24:04,206 --> 00:24:06,156
I understand that. I do understand that, but...

665
00:24:07,836 --> 00:24:09,056
Maybe Anne would like to do it.

666
00:24:09,276 --> 00:24:09,396
No.

667
00:24:13,136 --> 00:24:14,296
And it's a one-year term.

668
00:24:14,416 --> 00:24:15,256
It's a one-year term.

669
00:24:15,456 --> 00:24:17,276
Okay. Like moderator.

670
00:24:19,156 --> 00:24:21,016
Okay. I see it here.

671
00:24:21,796 --> 00:24:24,636
It depends on how good you are at minutes.

672
00:24:26,276 --> 00:24:27,156
As to how-

673
00:24:27,336 --> 00:24:30,116
Well, and how good you have to be at minutes, right?

674
00:24:30,676 --> 00:24:31,876
As you said, you

675
00:24:32,976 --> 00:24:35,416
put a lot more into the minutes than

676
00:24:36,206 --> 00:24:37,116
Yes, but you need to make-

677
00:24:37,116 --> 00:24:38,686
Is legally required

678
00:24:38,746 --> 00:24:41,576
... right, but you need to be sure that you catch everything that's legally

679
00:24:41,646 --> 00:24:42,286
required.

680
00:24:42,326 --> 00:24:43,106
Yeah. Right.

681
00:24:43,186 --> 00:24:46,986
And a few things that aren't legally required, but are absolutely essential to

682
00:24:47,066 --> 00:24:50,606
put in. You don't need to put in as much as I do, but you should do more than the

683
00:24:50,666 --> 00:24:51,266
bare minimum-

684
00:24:51,506 --> 00:24:51,626
Mm-hmm

685
00:24:51,686 --> 00:24:54,606
... or the minutes won't mean anything to anybody who reads them.

686
00:24:54,646 --> 00:24:54,756
Mm-hmm.

687
00:24:54,806 --> 00:24:57,546
Yeah. I think you have been doing an amazing job.

688
00:24:57,586 --> 00:24:57,786
Mm-hmm.

689
00:24:58,106 --> 00:25:00,826
You have been. I hear that from everybody. Yeah.

690
00:25:01,246 --> 00:25:01,926
They're really good.

691
00:25:02,486 --> 00:25:05,366
I'm really worried what's going to happen when you guys go before the board.

692
00:25:05,986 --> 00:25:07,906
Public acclaim will not bring me back.

693
00:25:09,206 --> 00:25:09,506
Ditto.

694
00:25:09,906 --> 00:25:11,606
What if we make it $500?

695
00:25:17,166 --> 00:25:17,635
So tell me the statement again.

696
00:25:17,635 --> 00:25:20,406
Well, if you come and clean my stables twice a week...

697
00:25:21,026 --> 00:25:22,216
You said 325, right?

698
00:25:23,086 --> 00:25:23,686
Yeah, I think.

699
00:25:29,266 --> 00:25:31,486
Okay. Oh, I'm sorry, one more thing.

700
00:25:31,546 --> 00:25:34,066
And so how many hours a week you think it is,

701
00:25:35,126 --> 00:25:37,986
would you say on average, for the work that you've put in?

702
00:25:39,966 --> 00:25:40,246
Well,

703
00:25:41,886 --> 00:25:45,386
when I do these minutes, I listen to the entire meeting a second time.

704
00:25:45,766 --> 00:25:46,066
Wow.

705
00:25:46,746 --> 00:25:49,346
And it takes a little bit of time to jump back and forth.

706
00:25:49,686 --> 00:25:50,046
Yeah.

707
00:25:51,526 --> 00:25:51,686
But

708
00:25:53,066 --> 00:25:54,346
I like to put everything in.

709
00:25:54,386 --> 00:25:55,626
Mm-hmm. True.

710
00:25:56,446 --> 00:26:00,386
And if someone is doing, like they have a clerk at many meetings, school board

711
00:26:00,426 --> 00:26:02,726
meetings, they have a separate person who takes the minutes.

712
00:26:03,626 --> 00:26:07,126
So if the person is only taking the minutes, it might be

713
00:26:07,206 --> 00:26:08,945
easier. You have to go back and listen.

714
00:26:08,986 --> 00:26:09,206
It's a

715
00:26:10,046 --> 00:26:12,416
lot easier, yes, if you're not trying to-

716
00:26:12,416 --> 00:26:12,706
Trying to do-

717
00:26:13,446 --> 00:26:13,736
... both

718
00:26:13,736 --> 00:26:16,046
... participate and take minutes at the same time.

719
00:26:19,006 --> 00:26:22,466
Yeah. Now, I will say too that Zoom has got an AI

720
00:26:22,566 --> 00:26:23,326
companion.

721
00:26:23,786 --> 00:26:24,056
Mm-hmm.

722
00:26:24,526 --> 00:26:24,966
And

723
00:26:27,126 --> 00:26:30,426
my feeling about the AI companion is it's worthless for minutes.

724
00:26:31,166 --> 00:26:31,386
But

725
00:26:32,286 --> 00:26:35,786
somebody who's more adept at AI might be able to tweak it so that it worked.

726
00:26:36,106 --> 00:26:39,486
Yeah. It's trainable, I think. But you would have to

727
00:26:39,526 --> 00:26:43,466
really want to work with it. So

728
00:26:43,486 --> 00:26:46,286
for example, I think it produces seven or eight pages.

729
00:26:46,366 --> 00:26:48,546
I have it turned on, because why not?

730
00:26:49,766 --> 00:26:53,226
It's extremely laborious to even read through it.

731
00:26:53,426 --> 00:26:57,066
So you would have to say to it, "This is what good minutes look like.

732
00:26:57,446 --> 00:27:01,426
At most two double-sided things. Must

733
00:27:01,486 --> 00:27:04,506
have every motion, must have the person who makes the motion."

734
00:27:04,886 --> 00:27:04,936
Mm-hmm.

735
00:27:04,936 --> 00:27:07,426
"Must include a list of everyone who's present.

736
00:27:07,706 --> 00:27:11,396
Use a decent vocabulary." And you'd have to work at it until

737
00:27:12,546 --> 00:27:15,686
it understood that's what it would produce. I don't know.

738
00:27:15,706 --> 00:27:19,586
I hear different things from people, but I understand it can be done.

739
00:27:21,266 --> 00:27:23,926
Any more discussion about annual meeting?

740
00:27:24,626 --> 00:27:28,446
I did not bring it with me, but the report is almost done and

741
00:27:28,506 --> 00:27:30,106
should be out within the coming week.

742
00:27:30,666 --> 00:27:34,126
As we discussed, there is a tribute to the fire

743
00:27:34,166 --> 00:27:36,496
department and rescue squad on the front.

744
00:27:37,655 --> 00:27:41,326
The only picture I've been able to get is

745
00:27:41,426 --> 00:27:44,976
a great picture of Art and two or three other

746
00:27:45,106 --> 00:27:45,626
firemen.

747
00:27:45,946 --> 00:27:46,086
Mm-hmm.

748
00:27:46,186 --> 00:27:49,166
And then I have the list of everybody who served.

749
00:27:49,226 --> 00:27:49,466
Nice.

750
00:27:49,906 --> 00:27:53,486
And then inside the cover, I have a great

751
00:27:53,586 --> 00:27:57,106
picture of Louise Loring in flapper regalia-

752
00:27:57,286 --> 00:27:57,666
Oh, no

753
00:27:57,676 --> 00:28:01,326
... for an event at Main Street Arts, and three or four quotes from

754
00:28:01,406 --> 00:28:01,686
people.

755
00:28:01,726 --> 00:28:02,226
Great.

756
00:28:02,626 --> 00:28:06,266
Just a one-page summary. And you had mentioned doing it in

757
00:28:06,386 --> 00:28:06,686
color.

758
00:28:07,066 --> 00:28:07,196
Mm-hmm.

759
00:28:07,276 --> 00:28:09,126
And so I thought we'd have that-

760
00:28:09,366 --> 00:28:09,546
Yeah

761
00:28:09,566 --> 00:28:10,556
... to liven up the-

762
00:28:11,306 --> 00:28:12,326
Yeah, just I need the...

763
00:28:13,566 --> 00:28:15,346
When do you want to have it printed by?

764
00:28:15,826 --> 00:28:19,606
Well, I'm almost there. I thought I was there, and then I realized

765
00:28:19,726 --> 00:28:20,066
that

766
00:28:21,106 --> 00:28:24,826
the table of contents was a page ahead of itself.

767
00:28:25,086 --> 00:28:28,666
So these are just little formatting things.

768
00:28:29,346 --> 00:28:31,586
If I get stuck, I have a couple of people I can-

769
00:28:32,046 --> 00:28:32,386
Mm-hmm

770
00:28:32,446 --> 00:28:32,706
... but

771
00:28:33,566 --> 00:28:35,546
it's a matter of pride at this point.

772
00:28:35,866 --> 00:28:36,466
Mm-hmm.

773
00:28:36,506 --> 00:28:37,426
I have a question.

774
00:28:37,966 --> 00:28:38,146
Yes.

775
00:28:38,306 --> 00:28:41,296
Are all three of the auditors willing to be renominated?

776
00:28:41,666 --> 00:28:45,506
Yes. Yeah. I believe I asked that

777
00:28:45,566 --> 00:28:46,886
question, that's what they said.

778
00:28:47,106 --> 00:28:47,366
Okay.

779
00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:50,646
Maybe I should double-check. I'll

780
00:28:50,966 --> 00:28:51,746
see.

781
00:28:57,646 --> 00:28:59,766
I could ask them too. I just didn't want to

782
00:29:00,846 --> 00:29:02,566
bug them if you'd already talked to them.

783
00:29:05,126 --> 00:29:08,506
Well, I was there, but there was a lot going on that morning.

784
00:29:08,666 --> 00:29:12,586
And I believe we have to have two, and

785
00:29:12,626 --> 00:29:13,416
the third is

786
00:29:16,066 --> 00:29:16,986
somewhat arbitrary.

787
00:29:17,526 --> 00:29:18,226
Mm-hmm.

788
00:29:18,236 --> 00:29:18,236
Okay.

789
00:29:19,706 --> 00:29:20,046
All right.

790
00:29:20,966 --> 00:29:23,826
I think we're up to number seven.

791
00:29:24,046 --> 00:29:24,206
Ooh.

792
00:29:24,626 --> 00:29:25,966
Municipal energy

793
00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:31,226
resilience project for the fire station, and you wanted

794
00:29:31,306 --> 00:29:34,606
us to talk about what projects were the highest

795
00:29:34,706 --> 00:29:35,326
priority.

796
00:29:35,906 --> 00:29:38,866
I had thought we had done that

797
00:29:39,066 --> 00:29:43,026
last meeting, which were the entryway to

798
00:29:43,066 --> 00:29:43,866
the door.

799
00:29:44,086 --> 00:29:44,276
Mm-hmm.

800
00:29:44,566 --> 00:29:45,966
Windows, if possible.

801
00:29:46,306 --> 00:29:46,466
Mm-hmm.

802
00:29:47,146 --> 00:29:49,666
I did talk to the, or I didn't speak to, but I

803
00:29:50,606 --> 00:29:54,406
email communicated with Windham Regional Commission, and they said

804
00:29:54,566 --> 00:29:55,606
once we have

805
00:29:57,266 --> 00:30:01,086
a bottom line of what's left, they thought it would be worthwhile

806
00:30:01,146 --> 00:30:04,966
amending the grant and thought it would be doable to include windows.

807
00:30:05,006 --> 00:30:05,566
Okay.

808
00:30:07,286 --> 00:30:11,226
But it can be an ongoing... We're not really at the

809
00:30:11,266 --> 00:30:14,736
point to make a decision because we still have other work that has to be done.

810
00:30:14,746 --> 00:30:17,886
But if people have other ideas other than

811
00:30:18,846 --> 00:30:19,566
those two,

812
00:30:22,486 --> 00:30:26,286
just bring them to the meeting, and we can add them to the list, and then make a

813
00:30:26,306 --> 00:30:27,106
decision later.

814
00:30:27,366 --> 00:30:31,266
Art mentioned the gap under the small door that's to the right

815
00:30:31,326 --> 00:30:32,546
of the major entrance.

816
00:30:35,586 --> 00:30:37,586
Yeah.As far as what?

817
00:30:38,406 --> 00:30:39,886
Air. Air coming in under the door.

818
00:30:40,346 --> 00:30:40,936
It's spring here.

819
00:30:40,966 --> 00:30:41,386
You mean

820
00:30:42,386 --> 00:30:44,406
one of the doors that faces the street?

821
00:30:44,486 --> 00:30:45,166
Yes.

822
00:30:45,266 --> 00:30:49,106
So instead of the door that goes into the community room, it's the

823
00:30:49,126 --> 00:30:51,026
door that goes into going up the steps?

824
00:30:51,206 --> 00:30:51,446
Mm-hmm.

825
00:30:51,746 --> 00:30:52,026
Okay.

826
00:30:53,786 --> 00:30:57,676
And I think the overhead doors would be too much, but one of them has

827
00:30:57,806 --> 00:31:00,366
a poor seal on the bottom. He pointed that out.

828
00:31:00,706 --> 00:31:00,886
Okay.

829
00:31:01,086 --> 00:31:04,246
But I think that would be a major expenditure.

830
00:31:04,366 --> 00:31:04,646
Okay.

831
00:31:10,606 --> 00:31:11,236
Well.

832
00:31:11,286 --> 00:31:11,606
Thank you.

833
00:31:12,826 --> 00:31:13,166
All right.

834
00:31:14,126 --> 00:31:15,786
Question about the upstairs.

835
00:31:16,946 --> 00:31:20,286
I stopped in with another drywall

836
00:31:20,326 --> 00:31:20,966
contractor.

837
00:31:22,306 --> 00:31:25,166
Is there areas that still need to be insulated?

838
00:31:25,766 --> 00:31:29,656
Seemed like down towards the roadside, at the bottom of the

839
00:31:29,766 --> 00:31:32,606
wall, there wasn't any insulation.

840
00:31:33,746 --> 00:31:35,126
I will double-check-

841
00:31:35,406 --> 00:31:35,586
Okay

842
00:31:36,286 --> 00:31:39,595
... on that. I know they were blowing down insulation-

843
00:31:39,946 --> 00:31:40,466
Right

844
00:31:40,476 --> 00:31:44,386
... in those spaces, and then they're still going to do blown in on the

845
00:31:44,426 --> 00:31:45,806
first floor at some point.

846
00:31:46,246 --> 00:31:46,916
Right.

847
00:31:47,186 --> 00:31:47,806
But I'll check.

848
00:31:48,146 --> 00:31:52,026
Yeah, because there's foam in there now, but there's-

849
00:31:52,466 --> 00:31:53,786
Yep, I know exactly where you're talking

850
00:31:53,796 --> 00:31:54,286
... there's an area-

851
00:31:55,346 --> 00:31:55,666
And I think-

852
00:31:55,685 --> 00:31:56,376
... 10 inches or something

853
00:31:56,376 --> 00:31:58,706
... remember he left that to blow down-

854
00:31:58,906 --> 00:31:58,916
Okay

855
00:31:58,916 --> 00:32:00,326
... to the other floor. Okay.

856
00:32:00,356 --> 00:32:00,356
Okay.

857
00:32:00,366 --> 00:32:00,566
Yep.

858
00:32:06,086 --> 00:32:08,276
You say the gap was under or above the door?

859
00:32:08,276 --> 00:32:08,586
Under.

860
00:32:09,066 --> 00:32:09,366
Thank you.

861
00:32:14,246 --> 00:32:15,526
We ready for group updates?

862
00:32:15,786 --> 00:32:16,026
Sure.

863
00:32:16,846 --> 00:32:20,726
Okay. Wastewater treatment plant, I have nothing. Anybody else?

864
00:32:21,026 --> 00:32:21,206
Nope.

865
00:32:21,486 --> 00:32:22,426
Recreation area?

866
00:32:22,586 --> 00:32:23,586
Yeah. We had a meeting

867
00:32:25,606 --> 00:32:29,486
the other night on Thursday, and

868
00:32:29,686 --> 00:32:31,386
we had lots of participants.

869
00:32:32,406 --> 00:32:33,506
We have new members.

870
00:32:35,026 --> 00:32:37,006
Anna has joined the committee,

871
00:32:37,946 --> 00:32:41,566
and also Juno Waite, and she

872
00:32:41,706 --> 00:32:43,226
is 10 years old.

873
00:32:43,726 --> 00:32:46,436
Oh, so Juno Waite and Anna Guile?

874
00:32:47,045 --> 00:32:48,446
No, Anna Clark.

875
00:32:48,506 --> 00:32:50,386
See? You have to say these things.

876
00:32:50,466 --> 00:32:50,555
Yeah.

877
00:32:50,555 --> 00:32:51,106
Otherwise...

878
00:32:51,166 --> 00:32:52,426
Sorry, I looked at Kristen.

879
00:32:52,746 --> 00:32:53,726
Oh, missed that.

880
00:32:55,326 --> 00:32:55,526
And

881
00:32:56,726 --> 00:33:00,686
Anne McClarty was there as well. So was Jared James.

882
00:33:00,846 --> 00:33:03,606
Oh, great. The new recreation area.

883
00:33:03,686 --> 00:33:06,366
Yep. I'll have the minutes all done probably by tomorrow, I hope.

884
00:33:07,306 --> 00:33:11,106
And it was a great meeting. We got a lot of great ideas.

885
00:33:12,086 --> 00:33:16,055
Juno did a presentation. She presented, and she did

886
00:33:16,055 --> 00:33:19,406
the legwork, and her mom was right there. Do you know Rhea Waite?

887
00:33:19,986 --> 00:33:20,166
Yeah.

888
00:33:21,306 --> 00:33:22,906
With her. And

889
00:33:23,906 --> 00:33:24,206
she

890
00:33:25,386 --> 00:33:29,106
came to the board to make one presentation on two different topics.

891
00:33:29,146 --> 00:33:32,726
The first topic was how to treat the water in the

892
00:33:32,766 --> 00:33:36,096
pond. She had done all the research about getting these

893
00:33:36,186 --> 00:33:39,946
organic options. She even had the

894
00:33:39,986 --> 00:33:43,786
pricing for them. And then the second one

895
00:33:43,886 --> 00:33:47,486
was planting flowers all along the bank to

896
00:33:47,546 --> 00:33:50,006
reduce the amount of mowing that has to be done.

897
00:33:50,115 --> 00:33:51,426
Nobody ever thought of that before.

898
00:33:53,806 --> 00:33:55,866
So that was really a popular idea.

899
00:33:55,926 --> 00:33:56,366
Yeah.

900
00:33:56,426 --> 00:33:57,906
Yeah. So it was great.

901
00:33:58,326 --> 00:33:59,326
That's wonderful.

902
00:34:00,846 --> 00:34:00,856
Mm-hmm.

903
00:34:00,856 --> 00:34:04,486
And Matt, to answer your question about the gates, I already did talk to Glenn.

904
00:34:04,626 --> 00:34:04,775
Mm-hmm.

905
00:34:04,826 --> 00:34:06,386
He's going to do it when the weather gets better.

906
00:34:06,546 --> 00:34:06,706
Mm-hmm.

907
00:34:07,606 --> 00:34:10,877
And you saw my email that we got the $2,000 from-

908
00:34:11,187 --> 00:34:13,167
Yep. And I relayed that message as well.

909
00:34:13,326 --> 00:34:14,127
Yeah. Mm-hmm. Cool.

910
00:34:14,746 --> 00:34:14,886
Yeah.

911
00:34:15,426 --> 00:34:17,886
Good. Sounds like the rec area is off and running.

912
00:34:18,246 --> 00:34:20,866
Yeah. Anne McClarty did a great presentation as well,

913
00:34:22,346 --> 00:34:26,286
because she wanted to help us with coming up, for

914
00:34:26,326 --> 00:34:29,886
lack of a better term, a business plan, like how we should be

915
00:34:29,986 --> 00:34:33,187
operating. She's volunteering her time to do this.

916
00:34:33,466 --> 00:34:33,687
Great.

917
00:34:33,786 --> 00:34:37,687
Yes. It really is. There was a discussion about possibly dogs

918
00:34:37,766 --> 00:34:41,647
again at the rec area, but building an enclosed area

919
00:34:41,726 --> 00:34:45,627
for them. So Anne's going to do a bunch of research, and the

920
00:34:45,647 --> 00:34:49,506
committee was all on board to get the research, get the information, and then we'll

921
00:34:49,546 --> 00:34:50,386
decide from there.

922
00:34:51,127 --> 00:34:53,105
Great. Nashville is full of it.

923
00:34:53,406 --> 00:34:53,585
What?

924
00:34:53,926 --> 00:34:55,066
Nashville is full of it.

925
00:34:55,426 --> 00:34:55,725
Oh, yeah.

926
00:34:55,766 --> 00:34:56,566
It's a normal thing.

927
00:34:56,906 --> 00:34:57,127
Yeah.

928
00:34:57,436 --> 00:35:00,886
They even have dogs at the

929
00:35:00,946 --> 00:35:02,226
apartment complexes.

930
00:35:03,626 --> 00:35:03,766
Oh.

931
00:35:04,086 --> 00:35:05,146
Sectioned out dogs,

932
00:35:06,086 --> 00:35:06,926
clean, whatever.

933
00:35:07,466 --> 00:35:11,446
Yeah. And so she's willing to do all the legwork on it and just come back to us the

934
00:35:11,486 --> 00:35:15,326
next meeting. Well, she's hoping to get back to us at this meeting regarding that.

935
00:35:15,626 --> 00:35:15,806
Great.

936
00:35:15,846 --> 00:35:16,626
Mm-hmm.

937
00:35:17,026 --> 00:35:17,626
Question.

938
00:35:17,666 --> 00:35:17,726
Yeah.

939
00:35:17,766 --> 00:35:19,286
Are these warned meetings?

940
00:35:20,046 --> 00:35:23,986
Yes. No, let me rephrase that. I make the agenda, and I send

941
00:35:24,026 --> 00:35:27,436
it out, but I have not posted them, so I haven't done that for the last one.

942
00:35:27,646 --> 00:35:28,166
Yeah.

943
00:35:28,226 --> 00:35:28,356
Yep.

944
00:35:28,706 --> 00:35:28,946
Yeah.

945
00:35:29,026 --> 00:35:31,056
So if you can send me those,

946
00:35:32,126 --> 00:35:33,156
or the clerk when-

947
00:35:33,546 --> 00:35:33,656
Yep

948
00:35:33,846 --> 00:35:34,456
... when I'm gone-

949
00:35:34,806 --> 00:35:34,936
Mm-hmm

950
00:35:35,126 --> 00:35:35,126
...

951
00:35:36,656 --> 00:35:40,366
they go on the list of agendas and minutes for

952
00:35:40,566 --> 00:35:41,026
all of the-

953
00:35:42,386 --> 00:35:42,526
Yeah

954
00:35:42,546 --> 00:35:43,556
... village meetings. So.

955
00:35:43,586 --> 00:35:46,786
Yeah. And that's my fault, because I had done it before, like when we were having

956
00:35:47,326 --> 00:35:51,246
more frequent meetings. I did post some at the fire department

957
00:35:51,306 --> 00:35:51,686
and the

958
00:35:54,946 --> 00:35:56,386
village market. So now,

959
00:35:58,506 --> 00:36:00,026
yes, I will be more diligent.

960
00:36:01,146 --> 00:36:01,156
Yeah.

961
00:36:01,186 --> 00:36:03,066
We haven't had a meeting since last summer anyway, so

962
00:36:04,606 --> 00:36:06,026
I would say.

963
00:36:06,466 --> 00:36:10,106
So what usually happens is there's a mailing list of people who get agendas-

964
00:36:11,086 --> 00:36:11,216
Mm-hmm

965
00:36:11,266 --> 00:36:14,706
... and I would send it to them, and I would put it up on the

966
00:36:14,766 --> 00:36:15,306
website-

967
00:36:15,366 --> 00:36:15,456
Thank you

968
00:36:15,456 --> 00:36:16,566
... in the list on the website.

969
00:36:16,726 --> 00:36:16,956
Mm-hmm.

970
00:36:17,526 --> 00:36:21,486
The other place that increasingly we can use is that e-newsletter

971
00:36:21,566 --> 00:36:22,866
that comes out from the town.

972
00:36:23,046 --> 00:36:23,246
Right.

973
00:36:23,986 --> 00:36:27,126
There's a new person producing it, but it's the same

974
00:36:28,086 --> 00:36:29,186
address to

975
00:36:30,046 --> 00:36:32,666
email things you want included on the agenda.

976
00:36:32,716 --> 00:36:34,126
It goes out about every two weeks.

977
00:36:35,046 --> 00:36:36,026
Who does that?

978
00:36:36,166 --> 00:36:37,166
Her name is Melissa.

979
00:36:37,306 --> 00:36:37,666
Oh, she-

980
00:36:37,716 --> 00:36:38,786
Used to be Megan O'Connor.

981
00:36:38,826 --> 00:36:39,206
Yeah.

982
00:36:39,386 --> 00:36:39,826
Yeah.

983
00:36:39,866 --> 00:36:40,086
Okay.

984
00:36:40,106 --> 00:36:44,046
And I think her email is something like executive assistant. I can...

985
00:36:44,346 --> 00:36:45,406
It's easy to get for you.

986
00:36:46,386 --> 00:36:46,786
Yeah.

987
00:36:47,186 --> 00:36:51,006
The webpage, though, is on our list of official places where one

988
00:36:51,126 --> 00:36:51,616
things are-

989
00:36:51,906 --> 00:36:52,086
Mm-hmm

990
00:36:52,286 --> 00:36:53,426
... posted. So-

991
00:36:53,806 --> 00:36:53,946
Mm-hmm

992
00:36:56,258 --> 00:36:58,918
Are we going to add that at the newsletter?

993
00:36:59,098 --> 00:36:59,918
This is not official-

994
00:37:01,138 --> 00:37:01,418
We haven't

995
00:37:01,578 --> 00:37:02,338
... dissemination.

996
00:37:02,758 --> 00:37:04,018
We haven't. It's just-

997
00:37:04,118 --> 00:37:04,327
Okay

998
00:37:04,378 --> 00:37:07,078
... another way to get the news out.

999
00:37:07,118 --> 00:37:09,138
Just wondering if it's something more I needed to do.

1000
00:37:09,778 --> 00:37:10,018
Yeah.

1001
00:37:11,518 --> 00:37:14,198
It's so easy to sign up if people want it.

1002
00:37:14,358 --> 00:37:18,218
I think the original intent was that if you were somebody who

1003
00:37:18,258 --> 00:37:22,078
went to the town of Rockingham website, Saxons River,

1004
00:37:22,198 --> 00:37:25,818
for whatever, you were interrupted by that pop-up that said,

1005
00:37:25,898 --> 00:37:29,438
"Hey, sign up for the newsletters." They're waiting if you try.

1006
00:37:29,878 --> 00:37:30,798
If you've already signed up.

1007
00:37:30,808 --> 00:37:30,808
Yeah.

1008
00:37:30,818 --> 00:37:32,648
And even if you signed up, it consistently doesn't sign you in.

1009
00:37:32,648 --> 00:37:34,918
Oh, yeah. It doesn't recognize you. Yeah.

1010
00:37:35,158 --> 00:37:35,538
It's just...

1011
00:37:38,078 --> 00:37:39,878
Okay. Fire department.

1012
00:37:41,038 --> 00:37:44,978
I have no updates. I ran into Art, who reminded me

1013
00:37:45,038 --> 00:37:48,938
that I did know where the key to the second floor was, so that was

1014
00:37:48,978 --> 00:37:49,258
good.

1015
00:37:51,118 --> 00:37:54,618
And I think at this point, our concern is more with the building

1016
00:37:54,978 --> 00:37:57,118
now that the fire department is part of the

1017
00:37:58,178 --> 00:37:59,758
municipal fire and rescue.

1018
00:38:00,758 --> 00:38:04,618
You asked me for an update on the town manager search, and I can give you

1019
00:38:04,678 --> 00:38:04,978
that.

1020
00:38:06,058 --> 00:38:09,358
The applications were due at the end of February.

1021
00:38:09,418 --> 00:38:11,098
We got 44.

1022
00:38:11,268 --> 00:38:11,268
Wow.

1023
00:38:13,658 --> 00:38:14,258
A mix.

1024
00:38:16,698 --> 00:38:20,678
So this is the three board chairs. We met to work

1025
00:38:20,718 --> 00:38:24,278
with Bill Frazier, who is our League of Cities and Towns

1026
00:38:24,458 --> 00:38:28,218
consultant, and if the name sounds familiar, he's the 30-year

1027
00:38:28,278 --> 00:38:30,118
town manager in Montpelier-

1028
00:38:30,258 --> 00:38:30,288
Mm-hmm

1029
00:38:30,288 --> 00:38:34,078
... who resigned recently. But he does a lot of these searches and has been

1030
00:38:34,138 --> 00:38:37,658
very helpful. So he had scored all of the

1031
00:38:37,858 --> 00:38:38,438
44

1032
00:38:39,818 --> 00:38:41,728
resumes and cover letters

1033
00:38:42,698 --> 00:38:46,538
and then sent them all to us in batches so that we could go through

1034
00:38:46,598 --> 00:38:48,578
them, and from those,

1035
00:38:50,438 --> 00:38:54,058
we selected five that we thought looked good,

1036
00:38:54,378 --> 00:38:57,958
and we interviewed. In the end, it turned out to be four people,

1037
00:38:58,358 --> 00:38:59,478
one person withdrew,

1038
00:39:00,478 --> 00:39:04,338
including people who want to move up to be town

1039
00:39:04,377 --> 00:39:07,898
managers and people who are already serving as town managers.

1040
00:39:08,528 --> 00:39:12,208
So we narrowed the field to two. It was a

1041
00:39:12,258 --> 00:39:16,058
unanimous decision. We all felt very strongly that two people

1042
00:39:16,098 --> 00:39:20,018
were great. They will have more interviews next week,

1043
00:39:20,198 --> 00:39:24,058
one with all of the department heads, all of the internal department

1044
00:39:24,138 --> 00:39:27,698
heads, and one with the two boards

1045
00:39:27,758 --> 00:39:31,678
that employ the town manager, so the Rockingham

1046
00:39:31,698 --> 00:39:34,498
board and the Bellows Falls board.

1047
00:39:35,238 --> 00:39:39,058
And after those, it's up to the board to

1048
00:39:39,278 --> 00:39:42,638
either make a decision or schedule another interview or

1049
00:39:43,338 --> 00:39:44,618
go back to the drawing board.

1050
00:39:44,718 --> 00:39:44,918
Mm-hmm.

1051
00:39:45,718 --> 00:39:45,898
So...

1052
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:50,818
And what is the timeframe where you think that the person-

1053
00:39:50,898 --> 00:39:52,998
Hoping that it will happen fairly soon.

1054
00:39:53,318 --> 00:39:57,018
There will be contract negotiations,

1055
00:39:57,618 --> 00:40:01,568
so one of the things is how long the person needs

1056
00:40:01,638 --> 00:40:05,518
to withdraw from their current

1057
00:40:05,598 --> 00:40:06,698
employment and-

1058
00:40:06,738 --> 00:40:06,928
Mm-hmm

1059
00:40:07,058 --> 00:40:10,288
... begin new. Everything is confidential because-

1060
00:40:10,288 --> 00:40:10,288
Mm-hmm

1061
00:40:10,298 --> 00:40:12,038
... all of these people are working.

1062
00:40:12,118 --> 00:40:12,338
Right.

1063
00:40:13,758 --> 00:40:15,898
But are you thinking summer, fall?

1064
00:40:15,978 --> 00:40:16,458
Oh, no.

1065
00:40:17,658 --> 00:40:18,198
Sooner than that?

1066
00:40:18,258 --> 00:40:18,398
Yeah.

1067
00:40:18,458 --> 00:40:18,698
Okay.

1068
00:40:19,378 --> 00:40:22,977
The days are a blur,

1069
00:40:23,058 --> 00:40:25,738
but we met on a Monday, and we

1070
00:40:26,738 --> 00:40:30,638
were able to line up everybody to meet with us, either in person or

1071
00:40:30,698 --> 00:40:31,878
in Zoom, on that Wednesday.

1072
00:40:32,718 --> 00:40:32,938
So-

1073
00:40:33,478 --> 00:40:33,848
Okay. Great

1074
00:40:33,848 --> 00:40:36,478
... that's the pace we're trying to work at.

1075
00:40:36,528 --> 00:40:36,528
Great.

1076
00:40:36,878 --> 00:40:37,018
Nice.

1077
00:40:37,058 --> 00:40:37,518
Question?

1078
00:40:37,618 --> 00:40:37,798
No.

1079
00:40:37,918 --> 00:40:39,118
Okay.

1080
00:40:39,738 --> 00:40:43,638
So I hope we'll have good news out possibly by the

1081
00:40:43,698 --> 00:40:45,478
tri-board meeting on the 31st.

1082
00:40:47,078 --> 00:40:49,178
It would be nice to announce it at least.

1083
00:40:49,248 --> 00:40:49,248
Mm-hmm.

1084
00:40:49,278 --> 00:40:52,218
But contract negotiations may take a

1085
00:40:52,278 --> 00:40:54,398
while. We'll see.

1086
00:40:54,958 --> 00:40:55,028
Mm-hmm.

1087
00:40:55,998 --> 00:40:58,618
And the two boards are employing

1088
00:40:58,638 --> 00:41:02,408
Bill to do those contract negotiations,

1089
00:41:02,618 --> 00:41:04,958
informed by our feedback.

1090
00:41:04,998 --> 00:41:05,938
Mm-hmm.

1091
00:41:08,498 --> 00:41:12,218
Okay. So I'm sorry for the error. The number nine says

1092
00:41:12,238 --> 00:41:14,858
approve the minutes of the February 16th meeting.

1093
00:41:14,958 --> 00:41:17,618
Of course, we approve those. It is the March 2nd.

1094
00:41:18,678 --> 00:41:19,498
Can I hear a motion?

1095
00:41:20,638 --> 00:41:21,158
Motion to-

1096
00:41:21,658 --> 00:41:21,668
I move to-

1097
00:41:21,678 --> 00:41:21,958
Go ahead.

1098
00:41:22,158 --> 00:41:24,638
I move we approve the minutes of the March 2nd meeting.

1099
00:41:25,278 --> 00:41:25,658
Second.

1100
00:41:26,438 --> 00:41:29,938
It's been moved and seconded to approve the minutes of the March 2nd,

1101
00:41:30,498 --> 00:41:32,938
2026 meeting. Is there any discussion?

1102
00:41:33,587 --> 00:41:34,798
They're good to me, Carl.

1103
00:41:36,138 --> 00:41:36,898
Anybody else?

1104
00:41:37,718 --> 00:41:37,838
Mm-mm.

1105
00:41:38,058 --> 00:41:38,898
Ready for the vote?

1106
00:41:39,058 --> 00:41:39,278
Yes.

1107
00:41:39,418 --> 00:41:39,498
Yeah.

1108
00:41:39,538 --> 00:41:40,198
All in favor

1109
00:41:41,178 --> 00:41:44,818
of approving the minutes for March

1110
00:41:45,218 --> 00:41:46,918
2nd, signify by saying aye.

1111
00:41:47,278 --> 00:41:47,288
Aye.

1112
00:41:47,318 --> 00:41:47,758
Aye.

1113
00:41:47,958 --> 00:41:50,118
Opposed? The motion carries.

1114
00:41:51,838 --> 00:41:52,278
Thank you.

1115
00:41:52,438 --> 00:41:54,138
Okay. Thanks, Vanessa.

1116
00:41:55,858 --> 00:41:56,258
Thank you.

1117
00:41:59,698 --> 00:42:01,338
Oh, thank you. Other business from the trustees.

1118
00:42:01,758 --> 00:42:05,678
Polly, the tree warden who came and presented to us the night we

1119
00:42:05,758 --> 00:42:09,638
met at Vermont Academy, let me know that they will

1120
00:42:09,698 --> 00:42:12,918
not be planting trees in Saxons River this year.

1121
00:42:13,698 --> 00:42:17,398
A number of things have happened. They are short both on

1122
00:42:17,498 --> 00:42:21,478
trees and budget, but they are working with the town of Rockingham

1123
00:42:21,518 --> 00:42:25,018
to create their own tree nursery by the community garden,

1124
00:42:25,518 --> 00:42:29,418
and she hopes to be reaching out to us with a schedule for the fall.

1125
00:42:29,498 --> 00:42:29,998
Mm-hmm.

1126
00:42:30,018 --> 00:42:31,038
But just so you know.

1127
00:42:35,078 --> 00:42:36,638
Are there other business? Ellen?

1128
00:42:37,818 --> 00:42:38,558
I don't think so.

1129
00:42:38,718 --> 00:42:39,158
Kristen?

1130
00:42:39,258 --> 00:42:39,598
Mm-mm.

1131
00:42:39,878 --> 00:42:41,478
I just can't believe how quickly this has gone.

1132
00:42:42,118 --> 00:42:43,758
Well, we haven't gotten to the exceptions yet.

1133
00:42:45,718 --> 00:42:46,418
Carl?

1134
00:42:46,458 --> 00:42:46,468
No.

1135
00:42:49,258 --> 00:42:49,538
Okay.

1136
00:42:52,358 --> 00:42:54,938
Items for the next meeting and the tri-board meeting.

1137
00:42:55,058 --> 00:42:57,018
Last chance for the tri-board meeting.

1138
00:42:57,658 --> 00:43:01,218
I think we're going to be discussing the Hotel Wyndham and a

1139
00:43:01,278 --> 00:43:03,114
marketing effortFor that,

1140
00:43:04,134 --> 00:43:07,654
been kind of hovering in the background, and probably

1141
00:43:07,794 --> 00:43:10,674
a municipal fire and rescue update.

1142
00:43:11,914 --> 00:43:15,654
Is there anything else you want to see considered appropriate for the

1143
00:43:15,714 --> 00:43:16,374
three boards?

1144
00:43:17,474 --> 00:43:19,234
Can't think of anything right now, but we are...

1145
00:43:20,914 --> 00:43:21,194
Yeah.

1146
00:43:21,994 --> 00:43:25,774
Possibly one thing, but I want to mull it over first, about the recreation

1147
00:43:25,834 --> 00:43:26,134
committee.

1148
00:43:26,814 --> 00:43:29,294
So I think the recreation committee is on the agenda-

1149
00:43:29,314 --> 00:43:29,654
It is

1150
00:43:29,674 --> 00:43:31,334
... for the Rockingham meeting tomorrow night.

1151
00:43:31,474 --> 00:43:31,694
Yeah.

1152
00:43:31,714 --> 00:43:32,714
For board members to weigh.

1153
00:43:32,754 --> 00:43:32,914
Yeah.

1154
00:43:32,934 --> 00:43:34,274
Okay. Good.

1155
00:43:35,714 --> 00:43:39,514
One question, I guess if you can't answer it, maybe at

1156
00:43:39,534 --> 00:43:42,294
that meeting, what's the latest on the

1157
00:43:43,894 --> 00:43:46,434
refurbishing of 121?

1158
00:43:50,294 --> 00:43:52,934
It's a great question. I'll try and come back to you for dates.

1159
00:43:53,054 --> 00:43:53,804
I didn't look at that-

1160
00:43:54,034 --> 00:43:54,043
Okay

1161
00:43:54,043 --> 00:43:54,554
... for now.

1162
00:43:59,074 --> 00:44:00,304
I'm not sure whether it's

1163
00:44:01,034 --> 00:44:04,714
officially set yet.

1164
00:44:04,754 --> 00:44:04,984
Mm-hmm.

1165
00:44:05,014 --> 00:44:06,404
But the discussion was

1166
00:44:07,254 --> 00:44:10,994
how not to do it completely, but to do a

1167
00:44:11,054 --> 00:44:11,614
five-year

1168
00:44:12,794 --> 00:44:13,754
fixing project.

1169
00:44:14,394 --> 00:44:15,174
Ugh.

1170
00:44:15,234 --> 00:44:15,454
Yep.

1171
00:44:16,554 --> 00:44:18,454
But I don't think it's on the agenda-

1172
00:44:18,734 --> 00:44:18,864
Good

1173
00:44:19,174 --> 00:44:20,334
... for tomorrow night.

1174
00:44:20,364 --> 00:44:20,364
Okay.

1175
00:44:20,894 --> 00:44:24,874
Tomorrow night is the discussion of the Depot Street Bridge, which has been

1176
00:44:24,914 --> 00:44:25,434
put off-

1177
00:44:26,254 --> 00:44:26,264
Mm-hmm

1178
00:44:26,264 --> 00:44:27,394
... a lot. So,

1179
00:44:29,034 --> 00:44:32,274
they might be trying to break the new people in

1180
00:44:32,634 --> 00:44:33,194
involved.

1181
00:44:35,614 --> 00:44:36,614
It's a good question.

1182
00:44:39,214 --> 00:44:39,894
Anything else?

1183
00:44:40,494 --> 00:44:40,934
Mm-mm.

1184
00:44:41,294 --> 00:44:41,794
Okay.

1185
00:44:43,134 --> 00:44:46,814
Folks, it's fine with us if you want to wait outside,

1186
00:44:47,374 --> 00:44:49,294
but we will be in executive session.

1187
00:44:49,354 --> 00:44:50,874
You could also go home and Zoom-

1188
00:44:51,074 --> 00:44:51,214
Yeah

1189
00:44:51,434 --> 00:44:54,674
... if you wanted to. I mean, we'll turn it off and turn it on again.

1190
00:44:55,574 --> 00:44:57,334
But it is executive session, so.

1191
00:44:58,774 --> 00:44:59,674
All right. So,

1192
00:45:00,694 --> 00:45:04,254
I move that we leave executive session, where we've been

1193
00:45:04,314 --> 00:45:05,314
discussing

1194
00:45:06,734 --> 00:45:10,674
matters appropriate according to Vermont statutes.

1195
00:45:10,714 --> 00:45:12,073
Is there a second to that motion?

1196
00:45:12,194 --> 00:45:13,133
Second.

1197
00:45:13,234 --> 00:45:14,934
All in favor, please say aye.

1198
00:45:15,154 --> 00:45:15,344
Aye.

1199
00:45:15,344 --> 00:45:15,394
Aye.

1200
00:45:16,194 --> 00:45:17,854
Opposed? All right. The

1201
00:45:18,914 --> 00:45:21,134
vote is unanimous to leave executive session.

1202
00:45:21,254 --> 00:45:25,134
So first, we will look at number 12, a village property contract

1203
00:45:25,194 --> 00:45:27,833
review for 7 Maple Street.

1204
00:45:29,334 --> 00:45:31,494
We are going to take action on this.

1205
00:45:32,054 --> 00:45:35,694
I remind everybody that we have already voted to

1206
00:45:35,754 --> 00:45:38,814
sign this contract once our corrections

1207
00:45:38,854 --> 00:45:40,234
were made.

1208
00:45:41,394 --> 00:45:44,814
We are still waiting for a vote at annual meeting, either

1209
00:45:44,894 --> 00:45:48,214
approving this sale or not approving it.

1210
00:45:48,374 --> 00:45:52,094
That is by Vermont statute, and then we will proceed

1211
00:45:52,174 --> 00:45:56,074
to the deed at closing. So I think what I'm

1212
00:45:56,114 --> 00:45:59,934
looking for is not a motion, but just an agreement by consensus

1213
00:45:59,994 --> 00:46:03,764
that I will sign this contract tonight for the

1214
00:46:03,834 --> 00:46:07,654
village, and that everything will proceed to the

1215
00:46:07,734 --> 00:46:10,374
annual meeting. Is that your understanding, Kristen?

1216
00:46:10,724 --> 00:46:12,254
That is my understanding.

1217
00:46:12,434 --> 00:46:12,674
Okay.

1218
00:46:12,694 --> 00:46:13,274
But we can

1219
00:46:14,154 --> 00:46:17,174
also move that you sign the contract

1220
00:46:19,274 --> 00:46:20,674
as it contains the revisions-

1221
00:46:20,894 --> 00:46:21,194
Okay

1222
00:46:21,214 --> 00:46:22,374
... made by our attorneys.

1223
00:46:23,194 --> 00:46:23,423
So moved.

1224
00:46:23,434 --> 00:46:25,074
I'll make that motion right now.

1225
00:46:25,344 --> 00:46:26,374
Okay. So Kristen moves-

1226
00:46:26,514 --> 00:46:26,734
Yeah

1227
00:46:26,874 --> 00:46:30,574
... that we have the chair sign the revised contract-

1228
00:46:30,694 --> 00:46:30,754
Yeah

1229
00:46:30,794 --> 00:46:34,514
... with the changes approved by our attorney. Is that correct?

1230
00:46:34,764 --> 00:46:34,764
Right.

1231
00:46:34,794 --> 00:46:36,054
Is there a second to that motion?

1232
00:46:37,354 --> 00:46:38,694
I second that, yeah.

1233
00:46:39,114 --> 00:46:42,934
Okay. All in favor of the motion to have the chair sign the contract

1234
00:46:42,944 --> 00:46:46,374
tonight, the revised contract, signify by saying aye.

1235
00:46:46,994 --> 00:46:47,334
Aye.

1236
00:46:47,344 --> 00:46:47,344
Aye.

1237
00:46:47,414 --> 00:46:48,034
Aye.

1238
00:46:48,094 --> 00:46:48,634
Opposed?

1239
00:46:49,274 --> 00:46:49,694
Nay.

1240
00:46:50,614 --> 00:46:50,624
Nay.

1241
00:46:50,654 --> 00:46:53,874
Okay. I will sign the contract, and we go on to

1242
00:46:54,934 --> 00:46:57,374
bids for heat pumps and drywall.

1243
00:46:58,954 --> 00:47:01,674
I will make a motion that we

1244
00:47:02,214 --> 00:47:05,114
accept the bid for the heat pump

1245
00:47:05,154 --> 00:47:08,754
work for the fire station portion of the building,

1246
00:47:09,934 --> 00:47:12,694
submitted to us by DeCamp Plumbing & Heating,

1247
00:47:14,074 --> 00:47:14,794
in the amount of

1248
00:47:14,804 --> 00:47:18,094
$14,626.88.

1249
00:47:18,594 --> 00:47:20,354
Say it again, please. $14,000-

1250
00:47:20,394 --> 00:47:20,604
Mm-hmm

1251
00:47:21,053 --> 00:47:23,553
... $626.88.

1252
00:47:25,374 --> 00:47:26,644
Is there a second to that motion?

1253
00:47:27,854 --> 00:47:28,614
I second it.

1254
00:47:29,814 --> 00:47:30,154
Still-

1255
00:47:30,954 --> 00:47:31,054
No

1256
00:47:31,114 --> 00:47:31,304
... yeah?

1257
00:47:33,454 --> 00:47:34,614
Oh, you're welcome to come back.

1258
00:47:37,514 --> 00:47:40,534
We are voting on a...

1259
00:47:41,424 --> 00:47:42,474
It was seconded, correct?

1260
00:47:42,514 --> 00:47:42,834
Mm-hmm.

1261
00:47:42,894 --> 00:47:46,694
We are voting to award the heat pump contract to

1262
00:47:46,754 --> 00:47:49,774
DeCamp Plumbing & Heating in the amount of

1263
00:47:49,794 --> 00:47:53,334
$14,626.88,

1264
00:47:53,854 --> 00:47:57,514
and this is for the work at 44 Main Street, the community

1265
00:47:57,574 --> 00:48:00,374
building fire station. Are you ready for the vote?

1266
00:48:00,834 --> 00:48:01,034
Yes.

1267
00:48:01,264 --> 00:48:02,774
All in favor, please say aye.

1268
00:48:02,924 --> 00:48:02,924
Aye.

1269
00:48:03,194 --> 00:48:03,574
Aye.

1270
00:48:03,634 --> 00:48:04,204
Opposed?

1271
00:48:05,294 --> 00:48:08,944
And that one passes, as did the previous one,

1272
00:48:09,054 --> 00:48:10,344
although I don't think I

1273
00:48:11,634 --> 00:48:15,574
said, and let me say now, that that one was a three

1274
00:48:15,674 --> 00:48:19,554
to two vote for the contract signature.

1275
00:48:20,634 --> 00:48:24,074
Is there a further bid to consider tonight for drywall?

1276
00:48:25,214 --> 00:48:26,154
Drywall

1277
00:48:27,694 --> 00:48:28,614
bid for

1278
00:48:29,474 --> 00:48:31,974
$3,814

1279
00:48:33,274 --> 00:48:37,074
from Chris Thomas, drywall contractor, for the

1280
