1
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:24,320
Okay. I would uh like to add one topic
to the agenda, please, and that is uh

2
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:29,039
illegal dumping on town roads
uh under new business. We'll make it the

3
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,039
fourth item there.
Motion to that click.

4
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,120
» Make the motion.
>> Second on that, please.

5
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:35,520
» Second.
>> All in favor?

6
00:00:35,370 --> 00:00:41,719
[clears throat]
>> Opposed. Okay. Thank you. Uh

7
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:53,039
Okay. Um,
as of the end of July, uh, we have

8
00:00:50,559 --> 00:00:58,079
844,291
in general checking,

9
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:06,400
137,785
in miscellaneous receipts, uh, 127831

10
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:10,840
in our general money market, and general
uh, New York class has 2,817,657.

11
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:21,560
Uh the New York class reserve account is
10,394.

12
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:21,560
The subtotal there is 3,937,960.

13
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:27,000
Highway checking is 512,794.

14
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:35,079
Highway money market is 50,539.
Highway New York class is 32,749.

15
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:41,960
Uh highway New York class west Clove
Bridge project is 626,56.

16
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:50,880
uh New York class equipment reserve is
242,441

17
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:57,320
for a subtotal of 1,464
580 and the total of all assets is

18
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,320
5,42,540.

19
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:01,479
Um

20
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:12,000
overall the July net income is favorable
by several 77,000 versus the budget due

21
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:18,959
to the timing of our expenses.
Uh July revenue is up 75,000

22
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:25,599
due to the sale of highway surplus
highway vehicles and equipment. uh the

23
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:31,599
franchise revenue from cable vision and
uh higher pool and facility rentals.

24
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:36,879
Uh overall July year-to- date expenses
are favorable to the budget by 632,000

25
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,920
mainly due to the timing of chips
expenses and machinery expenses.

26
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,599
I think we'll see that change next month
after the pay bills.

27
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:52,040
Um,
see

28
00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:00,800
I just wanted to note the uh balloon
festival will be held July uh September

29
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:07,120
4th and 6 through 6. The town clerk will
have more in-depth information on that.

30
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:12,000
Uh, also upcoming is our October annual
October Fest which is always fun. German

31
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:19,120
music, beer, dancing, uh, and
fellowship. It's a great time. Uh,

32
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:24,000
Sunday, September 20th from 12 to 7.
Uh, Councilman Reader, anything?

33
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:28,400
» I've just been speaking with uh multiple
town residents about some general issues

34
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:33,200
uh mostly pertaining to the uh the
intersection there at uh Rose Bowl and

35
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,920
um Clo, but we'll be talking about that
later, but that's it.

36
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:38,720
» Very good. Thank you. Uh Councilman
Darlin,

37
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,760
» about the same thing as Josh. Just
getting ready for the meeting and uh

38
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:46,000
talking to residents.
>> Okay. Uh, Councilman McKibby,

39
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:50,319
» uh, I've been working on, uh,
researching, gathering information for

40
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:54,080
the, uh, surge suppression system for
town hall. We can get ready. That's all

41
00:03:53,519 --> 00:04:00,439
I have.
>> Okay. Thank you.

42
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,439
» Uh, town clerk,

43
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:07,760
» as Supervisor Frasier mentioned, we are
gearing up for October Fest. Um, it is

44
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:11,439
still the same $5 admittance fee and um,
all the same fun events and games that

45
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:15,680
we had last year, we uh, plan to redo
them. As he mentioned, the balloonfest

46
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:20,320
tickets are on sale through my office at
a discounted rate uh, thanks to the

47
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:24,960
chamber. So, the price scale is about
half off, $20 for weekend access, which

48
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:29,680
means you can go to five of the
showings. You can also buy them for a

49
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:34,880
specific morning for $7 or a specific
evening for $12. And those are paid by

50
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:39,280
cash or check. Um, and like I said, I'll
be selling them until the day before the

51
00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:44,400
Balloon Fest. Um, actually, yeah, what
is that date? I thought it was the 27th,

52
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:48,240
but it's the 3rd, till September 3rd.
Um, we'll be selling them. So, we hope

53
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,520
residents take advantage of that. And
that's all I have.

54
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:58,160
» Okay. Thank you. And those purchases are
inperson purchases at the town clerk

55
00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:04,080
window for discounted tickets.
Uh, Highway Superintendent

56
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:09,199
Um, we've been mowing roadsides, fixing
some potholes. The big uh projects that

57
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:15,919
were scheduled for this year were the
paving of u North Parliament Road, the

58
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:21,600
balance of North Parliament to uh Walsh.
That is complete. We changed out a large

59
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:27,039
pipe on uh that was failing on North
Parliament. Um

60
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:32,479
see what else?
We're prepping trucks for the winter. If

61
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:37,360
you believe in your farmers Alban act,
we're going to get a big winter this

62
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:41,759
year. It's not going to be any fun.
No snow. Lot of snow.

63
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,960
» Supposedly a lot of snow.
>> What do you mean by good?

64
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:50,720
» Um,
>> nobody

65
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:56,720
um touched on earlier about the trash.
Um, I really think we should, the board

66
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:04,160
should be talking about bumping up the
uh the penalty for dumpers. Uh, we had

67
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:09,199
three over the weekend. Uh, there was a
good pile on West Clo Mountain Road. The

68
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:14,800
sheriff's came out, documented it.
Actually, uh, whoever dumped it uh, left

69
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:20,400
his address in a bag. So the sheriff
went to his house and insisted it was

70
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:27,680
cleaned up and they did actually clean
the whole mess up by midday on Sunday.

71
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:31,600
We also had a pile up on Quinland Road.
Uh the sheriff was called for that one.

72
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:36,400
We have a sheriff report. Our crew
cleaned that mess up. And again, there

73
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:42,560
was a receipt for a visa bill for actual
visa bill in the bag with an address and

74
00:06:39,039 --> 00:06:49,120
a name. And that trash originated in the
town of Beakman Beacin down by the

75
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:54,560
river. Uh we had a small pile at the
turnaround on Flint Road Monday morning

76
00:06:51,680 --> 00:07:02,479
that we found and had to deal with that.
So I think a lot of this uh is coming

77
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:06,720
because of the escalating price and
trash pickup. We could be wrong, but

78
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:11,759
that's probably not helping the
situation. I really think we ought to

79
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:17,120
bump the fine up and if it's at all
possible

80
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:22,880
um bill feel bill for the town highway
going to pick the stuff up and have it

81
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:28,160
you know rape for that as well.
>> This is ridiculous that

82
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:32,000
» we're having to pick on Sundays.
>> It's it's unfortunate but we'll get into

83
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,720
a discussion about that later. You're
welcome to to participate in that if you

84
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:40,160
like.
>> That's that's all my report.

85
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:44,400
» Okay. Thank you. Um,
animal control. Uh, Councilman Reinger,

86
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:50,840
would you read the first? Um, I think
it's May is the Yeah, just I put it in.

87
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,840
Uh, actually

88
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,639
brought it in late. I can give you my
contact.

89
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:11,599
» Um, submitted from Mary Jean Calvie,
animal control report, May 2026. During

90
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:16,080
the month of May, there were no lost or
found dogs. Respectfully submitted, Mary

91
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:21,039
Jeene Calvie, animal control officer.
>> All righty. Uh, Councilman Derlin, would

92
00:08:18,479 --> 00:08:25,759
you like to do the June report, please?
Uh, July.

93
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:30,160
» Uh, well, it's for June. Okay. Well,
just says during July.

94
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:33,680
» Okay. Go ahead then. Yep. I guess we're
>> I assumed it was June.

95
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:37,519
» Animal control report for July 2026.
During the month of July, there were no

96
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:41,880
lost or found dogs. Everyone decided it
was too hot to do anything this month.

97
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:47,480
» Very good. Thank you. Um, our county
legislature

98
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,720
Good evening everyone. The MIG grant
which is the municipal investment grant

99
00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:00,720
went out earlier this year. Um it has
since closed and they said hopefully

100
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,080
within the next week or two they should
be putting out their decisions. I know

101
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:08,000
Union Veil Beakman and multiple other
organizations in the district did apply.

102
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,959
So if everybody does come back and they
do get awarded it'll be a substantial

103
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:15,839
amount of money that'll come back to the
district for infrastructure work. And if

104
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:19,839
you guys need any more assistance with
the Bruzgull road issue or anything, me

105
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,120
and Josh spoke about some signage issues
as well that's county related, just

106
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:26,880
please feel free to reach out and I'll
do what I can to help you guys out.

107
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:32,240
» Very good. Thank you.
>> Um, since the last meeting, I've gotten

108
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:37,200
several inquiries from residents about
the status of the library, and I asked

109
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:43,920
our attorney here just to give an update
to the residents on on where we at. Um,

110
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:49,440
there's not really no new news, but uh,
>> uh, no, we just an overall recap.

111
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:56,560
A little closer.
>> Oh, I'm sorry. There was an article 78

112
00:09:52,560 --> 00:10:05,200
filed um, seeking court order to turn
over budgeted funds for the year 23, 24,

113
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:17,519
and 25. Uh, we opposed that. uh article
78 court ruled against us uh on that. We

114
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:24,320
filed a um notice of appeal off that and
we're in the process now of perfecting

115
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:29,839
that appeal. We have till
mid December to perfect our appeal and I

116
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:36,320
suspect that we'll probably have those
papers ready to file um sometime in

117
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:44,560
November. So that'll be the next kind of
movement on the case as the filing.

118
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:48,959
» Okay. Um, a lot of the s common
complaints are that they don't have the

119
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:53,440
full access to u the neighboring
libraries

120
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:59,600
and currently the town board is unable
to negotiate with Mid Hudson Library uh

121
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:07,360
because the charter the library charter
exists by law. The Mid Hudson Library is

122
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:13,920
bound to negotiate with library trustees
at this point. Um we, you know, we're

123
00:11:10,959 --> 00:11:19,279
we're trying, but um until that charter
goes away, we can't uh we can't do

124
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:25,959
anything about the the problem with the
the neighboring libraries.

125
00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:25,959
Okay.

126
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:38,480
Any public comment on uh agenda items?
No. Okay. Um,

127
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:42,399
Councilman McGney asked me to uh add
this intersection of Bruscog Clove

128
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:47,200
Valley and Wing Dealer, former traffic
circle in North Clove Road uh to the

129
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:52,880
agenda. Apparently, there's been several
close calls there and we'll let you

130
00:11:50,079 --> 00:11:58,399
start that off.
>> Yeah. Um, as many of you are aware, uh,

131
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:03,200
the intersection of Clove Road, Clove
Valley Road, uh, Windell Mountain, and

132
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:08,320
Brussell, uh, there was a formal traffic
traffic circle there that was removed.

133
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:12,880
Um, the traffic circle did slow down
traffic. Um, at least I feel it did. Um,

134
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:17,760
since that traffic circle has been
removed, there's been several accidents.

135
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:23,360
Um, the speeds have increased and the,
uh, severity of the accidents uh, has

136
00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:28,560
gotten worse. Um, I think we need to
work with the county, um, you know,

137
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:32,639
possibly to try to mitigate that that
intersection. I see things like

138
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:37,920
vegetation control. Um, there's some
areas that vegetation's overgrown could

139
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:42,639
be cut back. Maybe possibly traffic
control devices like stop signs that

140
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:49,360
maybe flash would need red lights or
maybe even overhead flashing possibly.

141
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:54,959
Um, but I think something needs to be uh
done at that intersection. I also I

142
00:12:52,320 --> 00:13:00,240
received um an email from a resident
also voicing his opinion and concern

143
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:04,959
with the traffic uh circle. I guess he
saw probably the most recent wreck

144
00:13:02,079 --> 00:13:09,760
there. Um and he was very taken back by
it. It uh affected him and he wanted to

145
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:13,839
speak out about it. So, you know, I
think it's something we should have a

146
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:17,839
discussion with the county on um to try
to do something with that intersection.

147
00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:30,360
If you're going from down the pool

148
00:13:38,959 --> 00:13:46,880
and you can't be in a big
ordinary person will not see going

149
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:57,639
I'm going to need you to come up here
and speak. You're gonna have

150
00:14:07,199 --> 00:14:16,720
» it seems to me like when you're coming
from here down to for quake, it's not

151
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:22,160
worded the right way. Unless I'm looking
at it a different way. It's worded

152
00:14:18,959 --> 00:14:25,760
differently. Like we have to stop. We
know we have

153
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:30,480
because the other ones go. But I think
because it didn't used to be that way,

154
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:34,880
people that are going down the road are
just going to go right across regardless

155
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:38,720
of what's coming down that hill.
>> Yeah. I mean, I I know there's a

156
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:43,680
vegetation issue, too, where if you're
coming south over

157
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:48,240
» when you're looking to the left, there's
heavy vegetation hanging out, it's very

158
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:52,399
hard to see up the hill. Um, and then
also coming south for people that are

159
00:14:50,079 --> 00:14:58,079
unfamiliar with the area, if you start
off on 343, you're traveling for about

160
00:14:54,959 --> 00:15:02,079
10 minutes at 45 to 55 miles an hour.
And if you're not familiar with the

161
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:06,160
area, you assume it just keeps going and
people have blown through that stop

162
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:09,040
sign. I I witnessed an accident a couple
years ago there where somebody just

163
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:13,199
pulled it out in front of a box truck
and got t-boned. Uh, I don't know what

164
00:15:11,199 --> 00:15:17,079
the issue was with that, but you know,
it's it's a dangerous intersection.

165
00:15:17,839 --> 00:15:27,360
I'll uh I'll go out and take a close
look and and I know we had suggested

166
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:33,519
maybe the LED type stop sign with the
you flashing perimeter on it might help.

167
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:38,079
It might help to have a flashing stop
ahead sign.

168
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:42,399
» Have a an LED solar
>> right

169
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:43,519
» sign that's mostly not function most of
the time.

170
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:49,560
» Yeah.
>> So they're not maintaining.

171
00:15:44,959 --> 00:15:49,560
» Yeah. That that might be good to have.

172
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:12,320
reliability.
>> Yeah. I I I think the first thing you

173
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:17,759
guys are going to have to do in this
entire situation is is you're going to

174
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:22,480
have to get some level of traffic study,
get some level of interaction with the

175
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:25,360
county. I think it's
it's got to be a collaborative effort

176
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:28,959
there because you have a county road,
right? So,

177
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:34,240
I I know the county's county is
short-handed as are we

178
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:38,959
» and the equipment they have in this
particular area that are mowing with

179
00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:43,199
can't reach that higher brush where our
equipment can

180
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:49,279
» when you're looking east and going south
in making that left turn. So we could do

181
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,240
that. I just don't know logistically if
we can

182
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:58,320
» I think we should talk to
>> Okay, make that call tomorrow.

183
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:03,519
» On that exact spot there is I tested it
tonight on the way here. The actual

184
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:06,480
white stop line is well behind. So I
stopped there and I couldn't see

185
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:10,559
anything because of high hanging brush,
right?

186
00:17:07,439 --> 00:17:14,959
» So except sticking way out there. There
is a car coming that could cause car to

187
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,959
sw.

188
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:25,280
I did get an email from county
transportation this morning stating that

189
00:17:21,199 --> 00:17:32,160
they have put several um traffic study
cameras here in our area and uh Brillow

190
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:35,440
Road was one valley road was one
>> I just noticed.

191
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:39,600
» Yeah. So perhaps you know they'll get
data from these that'll show that that

192
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:42,240
we needs to be something done at that
intersection.

193
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,760
» They could be already on top of it.
That's why I think if there's any

194
00:17:43,679 --> 00:17:50,200
addition to that, I think we should be
reaching out to the county just

195
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:07,080
you're not affecting
another measures which may or may not be

196
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,080
appropriate.

197
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:20,000
» Okay. Um, I will put something together
and uh start a conversation with the

198
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:24,480
county on that.
Um,

199
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:30,880
we had a resident stop in since last
meeting who has an injury and um, their

200
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:35,440
doctor had recommended swimming as
therapy

201
00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:39,600
and they are interested in in getting a
pool pass, but they said that we're

202
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:46,799
halfway through the season and asked
about it a discounted pool pass. Um, we

203
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:53,320
do that with the recycle center. Um, I
put the uh I think I put the pool

204
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,320
schedule in here for you

205
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:03,520
somewhere. But anyways,
what I what I was going to suggest we do

206
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:10,400
is determine what the halfway point is
between the opening and closing of the

207
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:17,039
pool and rather than 75 charge 40 bucks
from that point forward. Yeah. Um, no no

208
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:22,480
discount on the front end. Um, you know,
if they haven't been able to subscribe

209
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:27,200
until midway through, then we'll we'll
drop the first half from it.

210
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:32,160
» Um, sense.
>> Anybody have any opposite?

211
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:36,559
» Do we need a resolution for that for
next meeting or Well, it's probably too

212
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:44,559
late for this season, but we can get it
put in place for next season. Um

213
00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:48,400
my guess is during your reord
so this would be something that would

214
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,200
added be added into the feed schedules.
>> Yeah.

215
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:55,919
» And we can look into
>> what that looks like. Um

216
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,919
but it is something that would be
probably likely part of the review.

217
00:19:57,679 --> 00:20:04,240
» Okay.
Would there be any issue with granting

218
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:08,280
this one resident
this in the meantime or

219
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,200
um

220
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,960
pass for one now. You'll have to pass.
>> Yeah.

221
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:26,240
» Okay. But that's a court decision.
>> Um

222
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:29,679
» I don't anticipate.
>> It probably would not be, but it is what

223
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:37,039
it is.
>> Yeah, I get it. I get it. Uh that's

224
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:41,679
» Can we just say that we going forward
for the rest of the season passes 40

225
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:45,280
bucks for everybody if we want to go? I
mean I don't anticipate there being a

226
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:51,720
» I don't I don't have an issue with that.
And then we'll we'll we can

227
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,720
» Are all these fees set by

228
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:58,400
by a fee schedule that's amended by
resolution or entities set by a code? I

229
00:20:56,159 --> 00:21:03,679
don't know. We moved it out of code and
moved it into resolution everywhere.

230
00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:09,640
» I I remember it was something to that
effect, but I don't know if it included

231
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,640
all bees and certain pieces

232
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:19,440
schedule that we re revisit every year.
I think the pool was part of it.

233
00:21:17,919 --> 00:21:22,760
That would be the only hesitation I have
not knowing.

234
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:31,200
Then if we we all [clears throat] agree
to it tonight, we'll just say, you know,

235
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:35,840
as long as it is not in code and it's
just

236
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,760
» during reorg,
>> yeah,

237
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:40,760
» three of them.
>> Um,

238
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:50,000
» so essentially looking for a motion to
to reduce the pool pass fee as of what

239
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:53,039
date?
>> Well, say today.

240
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,400
They apply for a new
>> I think there's only about three weeks

241
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:05,360
left.
>> Yeah.

242
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:10,320
» Or maybe two weeks. Yeah. Yeah.
>> All right. So, I'll make I'll make the

243
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:14,799
motion to uh reduce the rate to $40 for
the remainder of the season starting

244
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:19,440
today. I'll second that.
>> In favor?

245
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:25,960
No, it's just
I I opposed.

246
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,960
» Okay. Thank you.

247
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,480
» Very good.
>> That is just a one time to be clear for

248
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:38,640
the record. It's a one time reduction.
It'll be revisited again after I I made

249
00:22:36,799 --> 00:22:45,520
myself a note to to include it in the
reorder.

250
00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:52,559
» Okay. Um, I've been working with the uh
uh building or code enforcement officer

251
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:58,880
and we've come up with a bunch of uh
problems in the code book.

252
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:06,400
I know there had been a a pretty lengthy
discussion on Airbnbs in the town, but

253
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:11,200
it didn't get into the code book.
Um

254
00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:16,799
we also discussed digital signs at
length when I remember you know that was

255
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:20,799
about a nine months discussion and you
know thought that we had put it into the

256
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:25,280
code book but it's not there
>> and the air I'm actually shocked the

257
00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:30,159
Airbnb one is not in there also we came
up with the

258
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,559
» yeah we the whole form of that
>> right

259
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:38,240
» we never made it in okay
>> no so uh you know we're going to need to

260
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:44,080
revisit this stuff. I um I spoke with
our planner yesterday. Um they're very

261
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:51,280
willing to work with us on updating our
codes and and things. Um they also and

262
00:23:48,799 --> 00:23:58,880
I'll forward that proposal to you. They
had sent a proposal earlier in the year

263
00:23:53,440 --> 00:24:04,039
and I missed it somehow. Um but they uh
have had offered to council most of

264
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:19,279
it before, you know, see what they're
suggesting and such. And they they

265
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:25,840
showed several examples of where they've
done it in other towns. But um you know

266
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:30,159
we've gotten a number of complaints from
applicants about how things work in in

267
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:35,000
those boards and I think it's something
we need to to look to make an

268
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
improvement.

269
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:45,919
Um
the RA5 we discussed briefly at a

270
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:54,799
previous meeting. Um, I went through
and marked all the non compliant lots

271
00:24:51,919 --> 00:24:58,320
in RA5 up on Pleasant Ridge as a result
of this code change. And best I can

272
00:24:56,799 --> 00:25:05,039
tell,
this code change

273
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:11,200
um took place in the early 90s.
Um, I haven't been able to find any

274
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:15,679
uh, you know, confirming information on
it, but um, from talking to different

275
00:25:13,679 --> 00:25:19,919
people involved, it it appears that it
took place in the the early 90s. I

276
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:26,159
haven't been able to talk to anybody who
was directly involved to find out the

277
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:34,320
reasoning behind it, but the outcome was
um, we have 25 non-conforming lots

278
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:40,320
in the RA5 now.
Um

279
00:25:36,559 --> 00:25:45,440
the cluster of the smaller lots is right
up against

280
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:53,919
the um R R1
zone that they would comply with.

281
00:25:48,480 --> 00:26:00,320
And then the um the larger lots
are very close to the RA3 that they were

282
00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:01,200
removed from. That lower right hand
corner.

283
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,520
» Yep.
>> That's RA3.

284
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:11,039
» They're shaded. Yep. Yep.
So, um I don't think it would be too

285
00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:19,679
problematic
to uh put them back in there. The um the

286
00:26:15,919 --> 00:26:21,200
the upper piece is R10.
>> The upper shaded.

287
00:26:20,799 --> 00:26:24,200
» Yeah.
>> Okay.

288
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:32,600
» So, I I don't know if if you want me to
start looking at

289
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:43,600
I mentioned we've got a a resident or
not a resident but a property owner.

290
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:46,720
Um he has that 3.23
lot.

291
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:52,000
» Yep. Um
and currently he's unable to do anything

292
00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:59,480
with it because it it there's no way
that it can meet the um RA5 code

293
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,480
restrictions.

294
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:06,760
Wonder if they they ran through that
continuous, you know, where

295
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,919
» except for one, right?
>> Right. Yeah.

296
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:25,400
» Right. In theory, we're only talking
about affecting one lot,

297
00:27:21,919 --> 00:27:25,400
» but any of these

298
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,840
» Yeah.
>> Yeah.

299
00:27:29,679 --> 00:27:35,919
» Be pre-existing not they can still do
things. They just build a new house if

300
00:27:33,679 --> 00:27:39,400
they pull it down and then try to,
>> you know, but addition

301
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:46,360
I don't know
accessory.

302
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:46,360
» Yeah. because

303
00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:51,679
» I'm not
going to talk now.

304
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:56,480
» Yeah, that's fine. That's why we're
here.

305
00:27:53,360 --> 00:28:01,679
» Excuse me.
>> Yeah, in in the way it is written now.

306
00:27:59,679 --> 00:28:03,520
Yeah.
>> Yeah. I think it needs to be looked

307
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,799
into.
>> Yeah. I don't know that it's a good idea

308
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,080
to leave it the way it is.
>> No, just doesn't make sense.

309
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:14,960
» Um it's going to cause future problems
for all those property owners. Yeah. one

310
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,720
cluster.
>> Yeah.

311
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:25,679
» Is there going to be an issue making it
non-ontiguous

312
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:29,120
existing R3 because there's a large lot.
>> Yeah, that's something we're going to

313
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:35,120
need to discuss with both the planner
and the attorney um and and figure that

314
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:42,840
out. That one large lot there does kind
of throw a wrench in into it, but um

315
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,840
these couple here

316
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,520
This is already five up here, right? And
this is five down here. Five, five,

317
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,080
five. Right.
>> Right.

318
00:28:52,159 --> 00:28:59,919
» I mean, these would still be connected,
split by the road, but still connected.

319
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:04,039
» We could possibly turn these into five
or you know where this will cut across.

320
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:15,039
» Yeah, I think we just got to look into
planner which I'm trying to understand.

321
00:29:12,159 --> 00:29:17,760
So, no, I got that. This is This is one.
What's up here? This is 10.

322
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:22,799
» Yeah.
>> This is three.

323
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:27,760
» All right. Thank you.
>> Yeah, they were different shades of

324
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,880
color.
>> I probably should have copied this

325
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:34,360
color.
>> Was black and white.

326
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:43,880
» Okay. So, I will um I'll get in touch
with the planner. Yeah, I think that's

327
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,880
start that conversation.

328
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:06,640
» Yeah, they could be in there inserted
easily.

329
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:09,799
Um, the one is even for less than the
one acre.

330
00:30:13,279 --> 00:30:18,080
No, that the two acre would fit in
>> in.

331
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,799
Yes.
>> Yep.

332
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:25,840
» Where is now?
>> Right. Right.

333
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:30,080
Um, we spoke a little bit earlier about
the littering

334
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:35,919
in addition to the three that Ed
mentioned. A couple weeks ago, we had a

335
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:39,760
incident on Clapville Road on our end of
it.

336
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:44,080
Yeah. And you know, a lot of it's
furniture that's getting

337
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:48,159
» two couches.
>> Actually,

338
00:30:46,159 --> 00:30:54,000
» yeah, that little pad is Yeah,
>> those pads

339
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:59,159
clap. There was two. It was two spots.
>> Okay. I wasn't aware of that.

340
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:08,960
They were cellular setups that we
[clears throat]

341
00:31:05,679 --> 00:31:12,880
don't have. We can certainly get them
and um

342
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:17,600
excuse me.
>> Yeah. I don't know what happens with you

343
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:20,720
know we have cellular package too where
we'll see a lot.

344
00:31:20,159 --> 00:31:25,840
Yeah.
>> Trouble is we gota I mean if if we've

345
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:30,000
got a spot that is a regular problem we
could set up a camera out but knowing

346
00:31:28,399 --> 00:31:35,520
where they're going to go.
>> Yeah that's

347
00:31:31,919 --> 00:31:40,200
» yeah. Um fortunately some of them aren't
too smart.

348
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,200
» You leave their mail.

349
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:48,720
» And I do want to thank Ed for coming out
on Sunday and taking a look at it.

350
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:53,919
Apparently, I got a text message and
simultaneously Ed got a phone call about

351
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,919
it and um
>> Oh, yeah.

352
00:31:54,799 --> 00:31:59,760
» I was checking the web.
>> Oh, okay. All right.

353
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:03,279
Someone was in today and said they
called

354
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:10,159
that's what had happened. But anyways, I
do appreciate you

355
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:14,960
looking at that on Sunday. Um
I think um

356
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:21,600
currently our fine is 500 for the first
offense, 750 for the second. I spoke

357
00:32:19,679 --> 00:32:26,720
with the constable. Constables are the
ones that write citations.

358
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:31,919
Um we would need to have hard evidence
in order to to write a ticket, but I

359
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:36,720
think we need to get aggressive on this
and let people know it's not going to be

360
00:32:33,519 --> 00:32:42,799
tolerated here. Um, and I wouldn't be
opposed to raising the fine to $1,000.

361
00:32:40,399 --> 00:32:45,799
» Town of Washington's $1,000.
>> Yeah.

362
00:32:47,519 --> 00:32:54,080
» Bigman, thousand.
>> Yeah. So, that's why they're coming

363
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:59,279
here. [laughter]
>> Maybe we should make ours 15. I like

364
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:02,279
that.
>> Um,

365
00:33:02,559 --> 00:33:06,240
need to work with the attorney on that.

366
00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:26,000
Okay. Um, thanks Ed.
Thank you.

367
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:29,000
We spoke um last month
about

368
00:33:32,159 --> 00:33:40,240
we spoke last month about speed on
Brazil Road. Um the county legislature

369
00:33:38,399 --> 00:33:48,880
uh found out for us that we need to
submit a resolution to the county

370
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:54,159
requesting a study for this. um it may
be underway, but I would like to put in

371
00:33:51,600 --> 00:34:01,760
a formal request
uh to do so. And um the attorney

372
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:07,919
prepared that for us
last meeting, I think.

373
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:11,359
» I see the resident already did something
about it.

374
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:16,560
» Yeah.
um he had called me and I I said I

375
00:34:13,119 --> 00:34:23,919
hadn't had any response from the county
and um they put up the uh mafia blocks

376
00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:30,399
to protect the house that's been hit
several times. Um so we have a

377
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:35,000

a alternate contract to work from uh

460
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:59,359
from another and I hadn't had a chance
then it's required by law to get these

461
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:05,680
um resolutions published a day in
advance. So that information

462
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:10,880
just had came in late this afternoon and
didn't make it. We'll have to table this

463
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:13,280
uh for the next meeting. Uh motion to do
so.

464
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:19,280
» Make a motion. A second.
>> All in favor?

465
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:27,520
» I opposed. Okay. Thank you. Um
we discussed the Arctic program re uh

466
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:34,240
previously. Uh Councilman Resinger had
wanted to get some additional

467
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:36,800
information. Um I will let you discuss
here with anything that you came up

468
00:41:35,839 --> 00:41:41,760
with.
>> I I can't remember all the information.

469
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:46,640
Um I mean generally you know what they
discussed in the the meeting is broadly

470
00:41:44,079 --> 00:41:50,560
accurate. The only thing that I can tell
that people might have issue with is it

471
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:55,599
does look like that block cameras which
are a hot button issue in the news would

472
00:41:52,960 --> 00:42:00,800
be integrated as part of that. I
actually don't have an issue with that

473
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:05,520
but I know a lot of people do. Um, but
yeah, but I don't know if anybody else

474
00:42:03,119 --> 00:42:08,319
has opinions on this, but I'm I'm
perfectly fine going forward with

475
00:42:07,599 --> 00:42:12,400
participation.
>> Yeah, I I've also seen a lot of the

476
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:19,359
controversy with these flock cameras,
and I can agree that they they can be uh

477
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:24,560
problematic, but I I do have faith in
our sheriff's department and district

478
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:28,240
attorney not to abuse the system here
locally.

479
00:42:26,079 --> 00:42:34,720
Um, the potential is is definitely
there.

480
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:41,040
But um they also did state that the
uh flock cameras would be limited to

481
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:45,119
exterior cameras and not interiors. And
I think in this day and age there can't

482
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:49,440
really be any expectation of privacy
when you're outdoors. Um unless you're

483
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:53,040
on your own.
>> Um but once you stray from there Yeah. I

484
00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:55,680
mean
>> camera ring camera.

485
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,560
» Yeah. You walk by somebody's house that
has a Ring camera,

486
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:05,760
» you're being recorded whether you like
it or not. It's there. We It's not going

487
00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:11,200
to stop. I think it would be good for us
to take advantage of it to solve crimes.

488
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:15,440
» I agree. License readers have been
around for a very long time. I

489
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:20,800
understand that this is enhanced, but
it's in the news. It's it's a huge issue

490
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:26,400
and block is well aware. Apparently,
they even started to put more stringent

491
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:30,480
requirements on on the devices, you
know, in response to public backlash.

492
00:43:28,319 --> 00:43:35,599
So, I think that's even more of a reason
since it's it's well known right now

493
00:43:33,119 --> 00:43:39,359
that people have concerns. It's if
there's abuse of that system, it's it's

494
00:43:37,839 --> 00:43:42,720
going to be known and it's going to be
an issue. And I think now that the issue

495
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:47,440
has been brought to light, it that
potential that, you know, use technology

496
00:43:45,599 --> 00:43:50,400
that's there to to help the sheriff
department.

497
00:43:48,319 --> 00:43:53,760
» Yeah. I mean I I seen the same thing on
social media. A lot of people were upset

498
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:59,200
about it. You know, your privacy this
that and the other thing um you know,

499
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:02,960
but overall I mean you look at the way I
look at is you know it's a greater good.

500
00:44:01,119 --> 00:44:07,200
It's really the greatest number type
situation where it's going to help more

501
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:10,319
than it's going to hurt. That's what I
feel like.

502
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:13,920
» Yeah. And they have a database that
allows you to see if your car has

503
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:17,200
actually been searched as well. So the
field

504
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:21,359
um and Duchess County Sheriff's
Department has a transparency portal

505
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:25,680
where you can go and you can review all
of the information on Arctic. So I'd

506
00:44:24,079 --> 00:44:30,720
encourage anybody to look through that
as well. Just it seems quite beneficial

507
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,960
for the for the greater good as Kevin
said.

508
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:36,400
» Yeah. I think one of the more intriguing
thing is the use of the drones and how

509
00:44:35,359 --> 00:44:40,560
they're going to station those all
around the county. I mean, that if

510
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:44,400
anything is probably the best use of of
the technology that they're looking to

511
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:46,480
use. So, I mean, if we could put a
station here, I'd be all for that, you

512
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:53,359
know.
>> Yeah. And what I'd like to do is is make

513
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:59,200
that offer to um the Arctic program um
access to our security camera system,

514
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:03,680
the exterior cameras
um and

515
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:07,760
you know offer town properties as a
launch point for their drones if it they

516
00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:11,200
find that to be suitable.
>> Yeah, I know they have the infrared

517
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,440
ones.
>> Yeah,

518
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:17,680
» they're great for finding lost people
and things of that. Um, and obviously

519
00:45:15,839 --> 00:45:20,880
we're in a rural area, so the quicker
they can get eyes on something out this

520
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:27,440
way, the better.
>> Well, they it also explained if they get

521
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:31,920
a call or in a hostile environment, they
can send the drone in ahead of the

522
00:45:29,599 --> 00:45:33,520
deputies to to see what they they're
actually dealing with.

523
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:38,079
» Yeah.
>> Um, and that that's going to add to the

524
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:41,200
safety of the deputies immensely.
>> But and the sooner they get that

525
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:47,440
information, the better they're able to
put a plan together. So, um, you know, I

526
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:52,480
would like to offer town town properties
for that purpose if they see the need

527
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:57,920
for it.
>> Um, would bring we need to have a

528
00:45:55,280 --> 00:46:00,560
resolution written for that. I I think I
think the first thing you need to do now

529
00:45:59,119 --> 00:46:05,119
is if the board if there's a consensus
from the board to proceed.

530
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:11,920
» Um then I think what we would need is
really some sort of detailed

531
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:14,720
scope of what the plan would be from the
county, right? Lay out where they are,

532
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,200
what they're doing,
>> where they're going to be, how's it

533
00:46:15,839 --> 00:46:22,480
going to integrate with our system, is
it going to be seamless, how what does

534
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:26,640
that look like? There needs to be uh
there's there's a lot of I think a lot

535
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:31,520
of details and and questions that need
to be answered and then and whatever

536
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:36,800
poll is already set up and they should
present that to the board.

537
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:41,680
» Okay. I will contact them and let them
know um you know what we thinking of

538
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:45,520
doing here for them.
>> I think that also with it being such a

539
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:50,160
hot button thing, maybe we should try to
invite the public out here to maybe

540
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:54,960
speak you know there's anybody out
>> a resident of the town that has any um

541
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:59,040
any issue one way or the other um to
come out and and revisit this issue with

542
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:04,720
us. Yeah.
>> Yeah. I mean every meeting we have two

543
00:47:01,599 --> 00:47:08,000
opportunities for residents to speak. So
you're welcome to come and and speak

544
00:47:06,079 --> 00:47:11,359
about this topic if you wish. This is
more just a

545
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:14,720
» I I think too is once once we have a
proposal there's probably going to be

546
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:19,040
aspects of that proposal that will be
public and aspects of that that will not

547
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:24,599
be public. Um but at least if there's
something that can be presented with

548
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,599
more detail then then

549
00:47:24,720 --> 00:47:32,079
questions and and probably more concerns
answered um if we have a better idea

550
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:36,079
what's what's going to happen. So, I
think that we we approach the county,

551
00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:39,920
let them fill in what they what their
proposal is. At that point, you could

552
00:47:38,319 --> 00:47:46,319
you could even set a public hearing and
and and have people come in and have an

553
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:52,200
official public hearing um uh to to
comment and concerns and have people

554
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,200
have their questions answered

555
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:57,680
which would be catered to the specific
program that's going to be installed,

556
00:47:55,839 --> 00:48:02,400
you know, installed here. So, it would
be more educated uh presentation from

557
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:07,200
the county.
>> So, we'll revisit this. I'll contact the

558
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:12,160
county, ask them for some specifics.
We'll bring that back to a future

559
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:16,160
meeting and uh go from there.
>> Can I say one more thing? I mean, I I

560
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:22,559
know that people do have an opportunity
to see the agenda. Um but I I agree with

561
00:48:19,599 --> 00:48:26,880
uh Kevin Durl in there. We we have a
duty here to make sure that this is

562
00:48:24,319 --> 00:48:30,800
publicly advertised because we know that
it could be an issue. Most people don't

563
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:35,599
look at the town board meetings, right?
So, just want to get it out there just

564
00:48:32,559 --> 00:48:42,559
for the sake of transparency.
>> Oh, every we have a email subscription

565
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:48,800
list for the town for the agenda. We're
here talking about it and inviting

566
00:48:44,559 --> 00:48:53,680
people in. um
you know every the the uh residents have

567
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:57,200
every opportunity to come here and speak
and I'm not you know I'm not saying we

568
00:48:55,119 --> 00:49:01,280
shouldn't offer it to them but we can't
go out and drag them out of their house

569
00:48:59,599 --> 00:49:05,280
to come to the meetings either.
>> No, just make them more aware once we

570
00:49:03,599 --> 00:49:08,960
have more information we can present
>> you know and that's what we'll do. We'll

571
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:17,559
revisit put it out there. That's the
best we can do. Yeah.

572
00:49:12,559 --> 00:49:17,559
Um, any public comment on town issues?

573
00:49:17,599 --> 00:49:24,160
Okay. Um, motion to pay the bills.
>> Make the motion.

574
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:29,359
» Second. Second. All
>> in favor?

575
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:33,839
» Opposed? Okay. Um, we don't have
anything for executive session. We had

576
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:39,040
something that might
>> uh we might have discussed, but it

577
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:44,400
didn't materialize. Um
based on approval of the contract uh

578
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:49,760
with Cine Mail, I I have reviewed that
contract to kind of expedite this. Um I

579
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:54,240
do have a couple
uh legal issues. I wouldn't to get ahead

580
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:58,559
of it and move it along. I could have a
short executive session.

581
00:49:56,079 --> 00:50:03,760
» There's one one uh one clause in that
contract that we need to discuss.

582
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:08,880
» Okay. Um, our next meeting will be here
September 7 or se 2nd rather, I'm sorry,

583
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:14,400
at 7:30.
Um, we will return brief uh after a

584
00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:19,280
short uh executive session. There won't
be any further business, but you're all

585
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:22,160
welcome to stay. Uh, motion to move into
executive session.

586
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:27,319
» Make a motion and second. All
>> in favor? I opposed. Okay. Thank you.

587
00:50:40,720 --> 00:50:46,800
Yes. Okay. Um motion to return from
executive session. Please

588
00:50:45,599 --> 00:50:48,880
» make the motion.
>> Second.

589
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:53,599
» All in favor?
>> Opposed? Okay. Thank you. Um, no

590
00:50:51,359 --> 00:50:58,720
decisions were made and no funds were
allocated in executive session. As I

591
00:50:56,720 --> 00:51:04,559
mentioned, our next meeting will be
September 2nd here at 7:30.

592
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:07,920
Uh, motion to adjourn.
>> Make second.

593
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:12,559
» Second. All
>> in favor?

594
00:51:09,599 --> 00:51:17,160
I follow.
Okay. Thank you guys. We'll see you next
