now open if anybody in the audience
[2:13]
would like to speak.
Mike Iluchi.
[2:24]
» Thank you. Good evening. It's Mike
Ealuchcci three oncore drive. Um just a
[2:27]
couple of questions about the wording
here. Uh first, if at some point you
[2:33]
could kind of give us a definition of
what a large scale installation is, and
[2:40]
then second, as I read this, uh I might
be missing something. It appears that
[2:45]
the prior law establishing the six-month
moratorum expires on July 9th. And if
[2:54]
I'm reading this, this new moratorum
begins July 29th. So, I was just curious
[3:00]
if I'm reading those dates correctly why
there is a gap.
[3:04]
» Thanks, Mike.
[3:10]
Anyone else? Michelle.
[3:18]
» Hi, good evening. Michelle Judah, 34
Vancastle Lane. Um, I am in support of
[3:23]
the continuation of the moratorum. I've
been in support of the moratorum since
[3:27]
you first put it in place January 2025.
Um, in fact, I had suggested and called
[3:34]
for a moratorum before it ever became a
resolution of the board. Um, I just want
[3:39]
to be clear, um, for folks that hear me
say that and get a little nervous. Um,
[3:43]
I'm not in support of it because I'm
against solar projects in the town. Um,
[3:49]
I'm not for it because I don't want to
recognize property owners rights. Um
[3:54]
these things all need to be balanced. Uh
and I do believe that there's been good
[4:00]
work that's been going on uh through the
zoning the comprehensive paneling
[4:05]
committee that's now the zoning update
committee um in regards to this trying
[4:10]
to balance all of the competing
interests right um of uh diversifying
[4:16]
energy sources but also looking at our
land use uh not just what it looks like
[4:21]
aesthetically um but what it means to
the ability of the the land to be used
[4:26]
um for farming um in the future. So um
my concern is is that it's been going on
[4:32]
for so long that there are people that I
talk to or talk to me who believe that
[4:37]
the repeated requests for continuations
here mean that the town is trying to ban
[4:45]
solar farm. And I can tell from your
minutes uh from your April meeting that
[4:51]
» that's there that couldn't be further
from the truth. um you're just working
[4:54]
on trying to get the regulations in
place. So I just would caution that this
[5:01]
is once again one of those areas where
when there's not a lot of public facing
[5:06]
information, there's not updates on it
at the board meeting that people kind of
[5:10]
lose the plot. The other thing that
people have lost the plot on is that
[5:15]
there were already two projects approved
when this moratorium went into place
[5:19]
January of 2025.
um we don't see them yet because they're
[5:23]
in the middle of I believe you know
permitting processes through the state
[5:28]
environmental reviews um that they have
to go through but they were approved
[5:32]
there were some handful of applications
that were pending that got put on hold
[5:37]
because of this moratorum and I am
concerned that you know we're now going
[5:41]
towards a moratorum for two years you
know what happens to the interest of
[5:46]
those people who had those applications
that were pending in front of the
[5:49]
planning board Um, so I do think we need
to wrap this up. Um, and I do think that
[5:54]
it would be helpful to have more
information available to the public.
[5:58]
» Thank you. Anyone else?
>> Hearing none. Anybody via Zoom?
[6:05]
» Motion to close the public hearing.
>> I'll make that motion.
[6:10]
» Second.
>> Any discussion?
[6:14]
» Councilman Delniki?
>> Yes.
[6:16]
» Councilwoman Soden?
>> Yes.
[6:18]
» Councilman Frolish?
>> Yes. Councilwoman Kerr,
[6:20]
» yes.
>> Supervisor Ostrander,
[6:22]
» yes. Next on the agenda, public comment
number one, public comment number one.
[6:27]
Uh, agenda items only. Public comment
number one is now open. Anybody in the
[6:31]
audience like to speak on agenda items
only, public comment number one. John
[6:36]
Lake,
[6:41]
» just have one question on the resolution
regarding the reduction of the speed
[6:45]
limit on Gway Road. What is the reason
that we're looking for speed reduction
[6:49]
there?
>> It's public comment. John, we'll take
[6:54]
your comment.
[7:12]
Thank you again 394 drive. Um with
respect to resolution 47,
[7:19]
I want to just start by explaining that
I know nothing about what would be
[7:24]
involved in a contract involving
electrical contractor services. So, with
[7:30]
that in mind, uh, as I read the ter uh,
the agreement, it's for a three-year
[7:35]
term with the town holding an option to
extend that for a year
[7:42]
and a later section 10.3
seems to give the town the right to
[7:48]
terminate the contract at its
convenience. Um, so I did just want to
[7:54]
ask if I understand that provision
correctly. And then lastly, there's a
[7:59]
reference in the agreement to exhibit C
with TOSS for services, but I could not
[8:05]
find exhibit C on in the attachment from
the website. Thank you.
[8:10]
» Thank you, Mike. Anyone else? Shill,
[8:20]
» similar to Mr.
probably just a question that you'll you
[8:23]
know maybe answer when you take up the
resolution but resolution 49 regarding
[8:27]
the cyber security awareness training
just hoping you can give us some
[8:31]
information about why that's being taken
up now I remember when the insurance
[8:35]
presentation was made there was a
recommendation made about um the town uh
[8:40]
opting into cyber security um protection
um I think that that is a very good idea
[8:46]
um when you hear about the stories of
municipalities and businesses large and
[8:51]
small being hacked into and uh ransom
requests. Um so I realized that this
[8:56]
type of review often goes with um adding
that type of insurance. So I'm not sure
[9:00]
if it's something that came up because
we opted into the insurance um just part
[9:04]
of a regular review um and we're
strengthening policies, but a little bit
[9:08]
of information about that would be
helpful.
[9:11]
» Anyone else
[9:16]
hearing? None. Anybody via Zoom right
now? Oh, comment number one is now
[9:20]
closed. Moving on. Resolution number 43.

Question to the assessor. I got a letter
from the state that says I don't need to

[24:21]
for the enhanced STAR exemption once you
turn 65. As long as you file your taxes
[24:26]
annually, New York State will review
your your return for income limits and
[24:31]
automatically switch you from basic to
enhanced ex exception if you qualify.
[24:37]
This will also need to be your primary
residence. New York State will then
[24:41]
notify our office of the update. Same
with the star credit. If you qualify,
[24:45]
New York State will automatically switch
you from the basic credit to enhanced
[24:49]
credit. If you have any questions about
your letters, you must contact New York
[24:53]

[26:52]
» Thank you, John. Uh, next, the contour's
financial reporting package was issued
[26:56]
to the town board, made available for
public on the town's website, economic
[27:01]
development. John,
[27:09]
» good evening.
Economic development activities during
[27:13]
this month remain focused on advancing
business attraction, retention, and
[27:18]
relationship building.
Efforts included ongoing communication
[27:22]
with prospective businesses, developers,
brokers, and site selection
[27:26]
representatives regarding potential
investment opportunities within the
[27:30]
town. Follow-up visits and outreach were
conducted with existing businesses to
[27:35]
discuss operational needs, expansion
plans, and updates on business
[27:40]
performances.
In addition, research continued into new
[27:43]
business prospects whose market
requirements and growth strategies align
[27:47]
with our objectives.
At our Miltown Center, I met with the
[27:53]
principal developers to review the
status of aggressive progression of
[27:57]
their development and discuss the
prospective commercial tenants that have
[28:01]
expressed interest in locating within
the project.
[28:05]
While negotiations with specific
businesses remain ongoing, the level of
[28:10]
interest generated continues to be
encouraging. I will continue monitoring
[28:14]
tenant recruitment efforts as these
opportunities advance toward potential
[28:18]
completion.
A restaurant prospect. I've been
[28:23]
actively pursuing this restaurant
prospect for quite some time and met
[28:26]
again with their broker who recognizes
the area's strong potential. While the
[28:32]
prospect continues to rely upon a
demographic model that currently places
[28:36]
Milton below its target thresholds,
efforts are now focused on arranging an
[28:42]
on-site visit by the company site
selection team as a firsthand evaluation
[28:46]
of the area's potential.
McDonald's. I met with the store manager
[28:52]
to review current operating performance
and was informed that the restaurant
[28:56]
continues to meet and exceed corporate
sales expectations.
[29:01]
Management expressed strong satisfaction
with the level of community support and
[29:06]
customer traffic since opening. This
traffic I'm sorry this success reflects
[29:12]
the continued positive growth and strong
market demand being experienced by
[29:16]
businesses located within the town
center and they are this is a great
[29:21]
model for future businesses
[29:25]
uh new businesses in town
uh and around sharpening and Mario's
[29:31]
Pizza
I met with the owners of these
[29:34]
businesses to welcome them to the Milton
community and make arrangements ments
[29:38]
for ribbon cutting to promote their
business.
[29:41]
Aderondic sharpening located in the
pizza time strip mall on Geyser Road
[29:46]
offers the sharpening services of
knives, scissors, and other cutting
[29:50]
utensils as well as specialty scissors
and knives for sale. Mario's Pizza has
[29:56]
taken the place of Cringo's Pizza in the
Hanniper strip mall and offers a wide
[30:01]
menu of Italian dishes and sandwiches in
addition to the pizza.
[30:06]
We encourage our residents to support
these businesses and make them
[30:09]
successful.
Business View magazine Supervisor
[30:14]
Australander and I and were interviewed
a second time for a follow-up article in
[30:19]
Business View magazine which recently
acknowledged Milton as one of the best
[30:24]
managed towns in the New York State. The
purpose of the interview was to give a
[30:28]

[31:53]
Good evening, board and supervisor
Strander. Sorry, I was kind of trying to
[31:56]
break protocols earlier, but I get I get
excited about something. I just want to
[32:00]
talk about it. So, I'm actually going to
hold off on talking about the Liberty
[32:05]
Tree
>> because I have something more important
[32:07]
to discuss first. Um, first of all, um,
one of the important things we did this
[32:11]
month was, uh, uh, I completed
preparations for and attended the
[32:15]
Saratoga County deceased veterans
program where town of Milton resident
[32:18]
Charles Wet's service was recognized. A
touching ceremony on June 16th at the
[32:22]
county complex on McMaster Street, which
was well attended by his wife, family,
[32:26]
friends, friends and friends of the
family, including the supervisor and I
[32:32]
was um, uh, who else was there? I came
oh Shannon who just left and several
[32:37]
other people from the town came and
everyone raved about the ceremony. It
[32:42]
was a beautiful ceremony. Um Lisa's
family was there. Charlie's family was
[32:46]
there.
>> Town board
[32:48]
» town board was all the town board was
there. So um it was a great ceremony and
[32:52]
part of the thing is every 18 months our
town does this. So it was our town time
[32:58]
this and it's this June and as a result
the county has their thing and we also
[33:03]
do our thing. So at this point um I
don't I don't know if Lisa wants to come
[33:08]
up here or she can listen as I speak
about her
[33:12]
» and his accomplishments. Is that you
want you want to sit for a few minutes
[33:15]
or
>> Okay, come on. Okay. So, um, basically,
[33:19]
um, Supervisor Oster signed a
proclamation with the approval of the
[33:23]
board, um, describing Charlie's service
to his his family, his community, and
[33:31]
his nation. So, proclamation says,
"Whereas, the town of Milton is
[33:35]
profoundly appreciative and proud of our
nation's veterans whose service,
[33:39]
courage, and sacrifice have made it
possible for all citizens to enjoy the
[33:43]
freedoms and opportunities that define
the United States of America." And
[33:47]
whereas Charles Francis Wanetsz was born

[34:58]
United States through his work as a
quality control specialist at the
[35:00]
Waterview Ble Arsenal. We where his

[35:05]
soldier safety resulted in the
development and patenting on October

[35:49]
great joy in spending time with his

[36:11]
therefore, it proclaimed that the town

community. Now, at the ceremony of the
county, um, we had the same proclamation
[36:37]
made up in a very pretty plaque, and
Scott wanted to give that to me at at
[36:41]
the, uh, ceremony. Um, which Scott did a
great job as far as his, his, uh, his
[36:46]
remarks. So, Lisa, if you could come up
real quick. We have a clformation signed
[36:51]
by Scott, supervisor,
and basically, we also have this
[36:58]
document here.
what basically basically describes um
[37:03]
Charlie's service in his ps and u we
actually have one just like it hanging
[37:08]
outside by the clerk's office.
>> Okay. So for 18 months what hanged up
[37:11]
there outside the park's office people
can see it and after that it goes
[37:14]
downstairs by my office which is down
downstairs the old building department
[37:18]
area where all the recognition
[37:36]
and um thanks very much.
[37:49]
You guys don't get all this fun stuff.
>> Controller, he doesn't have this fun
[37:52]
stuff. Doesn't have fun stuff,
>> you know. They get complaints and stuff.
[37:56]
They don't get that. I don't get I get
this really cool stuff to do. Um, and
[38:00]
the only cool thing I get to do was
actually talk about my liberty tree. I
[38:03]
can't call my liberty tree. It's going
to be the town's liberty tree. Now,
[38:06]
historically, a liberty tree was
actually first recognized in 1775 in
[38:11]
Boston where colonists would assemble in
state or grievances. Okay. Eventually,
[38:18]
many communities across the across the
colonies created liberty treats. So,
[38:23]
given this is the 2026 1776 when
basically the war start really starts,
[38:28]
we are had the idea of actually putting
one out here at the newly configured
[38:32]
park. perfect opportunity as you're
placing things. And it's going to be
[38:37]
have be designated a separate space, not
with the other tree necessarily. I don't
[38:40]
know. That's up to Jason to try to
figure that out. But um we'd love to
[38:44]
like put a nice little bronze plaque out
there indicating that the purpose of the
[38:48]
tree and it's the date of dedication,
things like that. And at some point um
[38:54]
so that's that. Okay. And my as far as
my other partial report, they don't
[38:58]
compare to anything I just said, but
I'll just read real quickly. Um,
[39:03]
on June 18th, I attended a meeting of
the 2027 Battle of Saratoga Committee to
[39:06]
discuss the layout and creating a
reenactment. In October of 2027, we
[39:10]
discussed the necessary infrastructure,
transportation issues, and the layout of
[39:14]
the battlefields taking the two battles
of Saratoga, which are next year, next
[39:17]
October is the 250th anniversary,
biggest event that's going to be in
[39:20]
northeastern northeastern United States.
Basically, as far as revolutionary war,
[39:24]
be honest with you. On June 25th, I will
attend, that's tomorrow, I will attend a
[39:27]
meeting of the Saratoga 250 commission
for Saratoga County to discuss upcoming
[39:30]
plans for events celebrating 250th for
2026.
[39:34]
Um, I created a trifold which will be
used at the fair because all these
[39:39]
historians of the towns of this county
are expected by the the county
[39:44]
historians to create one of these to
represent their town, the county at the
[39:47]
fair. So, it'll be it'll be in the
historians big tent and they'll be all
[39:50]
there. So, you can go through look at
ours if you want to look at the other
[39:54]
ones. I think ours is the best to be
honest with you. Um,
[39:58]
also I started reinstalling some of the
250th banners. I have to fix some of the
[40:02]
brackets which we discussed previously,
but if I found a better method, but I
[40:06]
haven't found one yet, but some putting
the 250th banners back up around the
[40:09]
town. I've also made an effort to wash
the signs I put up for the the veterans.
[40:16]
All these signs, which I don't know if
you guys see them, these right here,
[40:19]
burn up in cemeteries along the roadway
and they get a lot of road salt and road
[40:25]
whatever rhyme on it. So I have to go
through and wash them off. And let's
[40:30]
see. Um then that's it. Upcoming events
July 8th. Oh, July 8th. That's next
[40:35]
upcoming event. McMaster Street. I
mentioned it last month. McMaster
[40:38]
Street. It's the nationwide reading of
the Declaration of Independence. every
[40:42]
community in the country is gonna be
reading it at the same time on July 8th.
[40:48]
I think in Hawaii it's like 2 am. So
we're at 6 pm which is kind of nice. And
[40:54]
so it'll be on McMaster Street in front
of the county complex. We'll be fighting
[40:57]
the county up a couple times. So if you
would like to come that that'd be great.
[41:01]
And I'll update you again. Oh July 19th
too. Uh, another big thing at the
[41:05]
Saratoga battlefield declaration
independence again because that's when
[41:09]
it was actually read in Alb County,
which we were Alb County back then, but
[41:13]
that's when it was right here. It was
actually July 17th, but we can't do on
[41:16]
July 17th. It's a Friday, so we're doing
on July 19th at the battlefield. It's
[41:19]
going to be a big event. Okay. Thanks
very much,
[41:22]
» Mike. I got to give you some kudos from
the county. They wanted me to advise you
[41:27]
this was the first time ever that a
deceased veteran was honored who was an

[41:35]
to do with Charlie.

» Hi. Um, I want to preface this by just
saying that I have a couple of questions
[45:04]
that I'm asking and I'm asking them
because they're reasonable questions.
[45:08]
It's the only reason I'm asking them.
Um, so again, thank you um for having
[45:13]
the minutes online from the zoning
committee updates. Um, if anyone in the
[45:18]
public, I had to look around a little
myself if you're looking for them. Um,
[45:23]
there's a top banner on the Milton
website under committees. Uh, then go
[45:27]
over to the right and you'll see the
zoning um committee and there's maybe
[45:31]
not minutes but some notes um that are
there of at least the last four meetings
[45:36]
since February, February, March, April,
and June. Um, and thank you to either
[45:42]
um, councelman Kerr or Sophia. I'm not
sure who's responsible for um, compiling
[45:47]
those. Uh, a few of us did go to at
least part of the meeting that happened
[45:52]
in June and were a little bit concerned
that there were only three people in
[45:58]
addition to Sophia, the town's planner.
And we do notice that the notes do not
[46:03]
indicate attendance and who is there. Um
we know from the conclusion of the
[46:10]
comprehensive plan uh process that the
zoning code updates are critical and
[46:15]
also were described as something that
needed to be taken care of timely. Um so
[46:21]
just a little bit concerned about what's
exactly going on, who's there. It's
[46:25]
really important that there be good
representation at that um meeting. Uh it
[46:30]
would help if some of the documents that
are being discussed would be available
[46:33]
also at that last meeting. There seem to
be very critical document, a crosswalk I
[46:38]
believe between the comprehensive plan
updates and the zoning code and it would
[46:43]
be great if people could be following
along with what the um work is that's
[46:48]
happening there. Um second question um
is I hope that we do hear tonight as to
[46:56]
whether there's been any movement in
regards to the airport committee. Um,
[47:00]
not to be dramatic, but there have been
two fatalities at the airport since
[47:06]
Halloween, um, that involve planes
falling out of the sky near residential
[47:10]
neighborhoods. And, uh, we realize that
it's county property. We realize that
[47:16]
there's federal regulations regarding
airports, but it is in our community.
[47:21]
And I think it would be good for some
representatives of our community to hear
[47:25]
what's going on in regards to safety
planning for the things that we do have
[47:29]
control of. Um I understand from the
county level at the airport committee uh
[47:34]
that there's uh you know one homeland
security has done uh some review of
[47:40]
what's going on there not related to the
accidents I don't believe but be good
[47:44]
again for people to be aware of that
here in Milton. Uh there's also some
[47:49]
studies undergo the canopies of the
trees um because of some concern about
[47:55]
safety. I'm not sure if that's
visibility or what that is, but um
[47:58]
definitely being looked at um in terms
of the need to actually ask for some e
[48:03]
easements from property owners to be
able to trim that. That's something we
[48:07]
do have control over. Um it would be
very helpful again to have that
[48:11]
committee meeting, participating, being
informed. Um, again, it's just a good
[48:16]
process um to have that happen. And then
the last is just a comment and I'm
[48:21]
sorry, but I have to say it because
every time I drive by, it makes me
[48:24]
crazy. I don't know what our um
flag um, you know, requirements are in
[48:30]
the town. Um, we all know McDonald's is
there. Those flag banners are like
[48:35]
leaning over the sidewalk. I've watched
people have to lift them up to walk
[48:39]
underneath them. They just look sloppy
and messy. Um they they're definitely
[48:44]
they're a hindrance to people trying to
use the sidewalk. I think when you're
[48:48]
approaching heading north, it even makes
it a little bit hard to see where the
[48:52]
turn is for the you know the Canerford
Drive. And again, I don't know if the
[48:56]
plan is for those to be there forever.
We all know McDonald's is there. Um if
[49:01]
if the zoning allows them to stay
forever, could we at least have them
[49:04]
like reposition them, get them back up
there or if they It just looks kind of
[49:08]
sad. All right. Thanks.
>> Thank you. Anyone else?
[49:14]
» Mike,
[49:22]
» thank you. One last time, Mike Akaluchi
for the Encore Drive. Um, first I just
[49:26]
want to reassure my companion that if
the declaration reading is at 6 p.m.
[49:30]
Eastern, the folks in Hawaii will not
have to be up at 2 a.m.
[49:34]
» What time is it?
>> Noon time or so will be their time
[49:36]
frame. So, they should be
>> Oh, that's true. Uh secondly, I want to
[49:40]
offer thanks to a few a handful of town
staff who have been especially helpful
[49:45]
uh in my direct experience. Last month,
Dave Dinski uh picked up a dead possum
[49:51]
from the side of the road on Rland,
which I appreciate very much. And then
[49:55]
secondly, we had a primary election
yesterday, and I want to thank uh Brenda
[50:00]
and Jason and Mark Loy for their help in
getting the facility ready and getting
[50:05]
materials to us to use.
um on the solar moratorum. I'll try to
[50:11]
read through the material on the web on
the town's website more carefully to see
[50:16]
a definition of largecale solar. Um
question about the dates again as I read
[50:23]
the local law as I printed it off
earlier today. The current moratorum
[50:28]
expires July 9th and if the new
moratorum is July 29th there's a gap. If
[50:34]
it's a typo, um, then I assume we'll get
the typo corrected. Okay, great. Thank
[50:39]
you. Uh, and then lastly, just on the
master service agreement with the
[50:46]
electrical contractor, um, if somebody
could check if the exhibit C with the
[50:52]
costs is actually there and I missed it,
I apologize, but I didn't see it there
[50:57]
when I read through the material. So, it
would be good to have that available.
[51:00]
» Thanks, Mike.
Anyone else?
[51:06]
Brenda, anybody via Zoom? Public comment
number two is now closed. Moving on.
[51:12]
Correspondence. Brenda.
>> Yes.
[51:16]
» Um, so we have notification from Malta
that they are holding a public hearing
[51:22]
on the 29th for zoning um amending their
zoning.
[51:28]
We had a letter, an email from a
resident uh regarding the speed on Gowe
[51:35]
uh Gowei Road that you already
discussed.
[51:38]
» And then two notices from Malta
regarding one's a cell tower. They're
[51:44]
both for cell towers. They're just
letting us know that the applicants
[51:48]
coming before their planning board for
cell towers. That's it.
[51:51]
» Thank you. Uh town board discussion, any
new or old? Sean, you have anything?
[51:57]
» Uh, short thing. Uh, the playground is
coming along. It is not open
[52:04]
even though people are trying to use it.
Uh, there is a heck of a lot of work
[52:09]
that needs to be done still, including
two pavilions, concrete work,
[52:14]
landscaping,
uh, rubber on the playground.
[52:20]
Did I miss anything?
>> Lights.
[52:22]
» Thanks for reminding.
>> Lights.
[52:25]
Lights.
>> Lights.
[52:28]
» Lights. I knew I'd missed some
>> pavement.
[52:32]
» Our schedule
>> for the 12th of September to be the
[52:36]
ribbon cutting for the playroom.
[52:42]
» Well, I got to get you a date so you'll
stick to it.
[52:45]
» 912. I heard it.
>> Oh, what else did I want to bring up?
[52:49]
Uh, other than that, the water
agreements and those are being worked
[52:54]
on.
[52:57]
I think that's it.
>> That's it, John.
[53:01]
» Yeah.
>> Uh, Michelle, I wanted to let you know I
[53:04]
I did have a meeting scheduled last week
for the airport committee, but I had two
[53:08]
people cancel on me at the last minute.
So, it's rescheduled for tomorrow.
[53:12]
Anybody's welcome to come. It's six
o'clock. uh they're more than welcome to
[53:16]
sit in the audience if they want to
listen to see what's going on. Um but
[53:20]
six o'clock tomorrow night if anybody
wants to come, they're more than welcome
[53:23]
to listen. It's all I have.
>> Yeah. As far as the I was going to
[53:28]
answer Michelle a little bit too. As far
as the uh zoning board, I know it was
[53:33]
very confusing last week or couple weeks
ago. Um, I had asked the uh
[53:40]
um the Bill Lewis's department to uh
tell us to start to tell us where they
[53:46]
run into problems because they run into
them every day. So, but there were a
[53:51]
couple extra copies of what we were
working off of up on the table and I'll
[53:57]
make sure to have them there again the
next meeting which is July 7th and
[54:03]
hopefully the whole committee will be
there.
[54:11]
Right. Um, couple things. Uh, Friday is
our next Milton Day meeting at 100 p.m.
[54:18]
here. Um, anyone's welcome to attend
that. Um, and then, um, we have our food
[54:24]
truck committee. So, that's going to be
starting. We have a TBD on the the date,
[54:28]
but probably in the next week, we'll
we'll uh set something up and and have
[54:32]
that. And again, anyone's welcome to
attend that. Um the food trucks, just um
[54:39]
for awareness, is we're going to be
having um food trucks come weekly to the
[54:45]
um Burgess Kimble Park. Um we're working
through all the logistics to that
[54:49]
because obviously there's quite a few
logistics that we need to work through
[54:52]
on that.
um a number of food trucks to, you know,
[54:58]
closing the gates to parking, lots of
lots of different um details. But, um I
[55:04]
think it's going to be great for um the
community. And certainly, again, if if
[55:09]
you have any suggestions on on anything,
um I'm open to that.
[55:18]
» John, quick question. There's two
there's two new businesses in town. Does
[55:22]
does a new business initiate a ribbon
cutting or do we or do you like
[55:28]
sometimes we have them, sometimes we
don't. Any
[55:31]
thoughts on the subject?
>> Well, actually,
[55:38]
» thank you for translating
[55:44]
right now.
>> Got it. Got it. Got it. That makes
[55:48]
sense.
We'll do
[55:54]
» etc.
>> Thanks. And then Mike, is the liberty
[55:59]
tree going to be an American elm?
>> Dave and I discussed this
[56:04]
» and the American elm was the original
liberty tree in Boston and it says
[56:10]
American el killed off by a bug in the
egg actually was sourced on a tree
[56:15]
that's very it's considered American el
>> it's a disease resistant. Yeah.
[56:21]

[56:46]
when it posts, Jason. What you what you
get twice dedicated on well
[56:53]
» supervisor can we please separate these
two
[56:56]
» no I I think it's great as a bit of a
purist as close as we can get to the

it'll grow here
[57:04]
