correspondence.
[7:13] Uh you all got everything emailed and I
believe the clerk was putting out hard
[7:17] copies tonight. So the only
correspondence we have for this special
[7:20] meeting is uh the two requests from
Director Allen and Director Haley asking
[7:27] us to have the special meeting and a
copy of the letters sent by
[7:33] Representative Condan to
the finance director, the Oswagawagi
[7:38] Fire Station building committee chair
and attorney Keell and me regarding his
[7:43] concerns about a proposal in the sub
building committee. Um, that's it.
[7:55] » No, we're not.
Um, and
[8:00] moving on to public comment. Is there
any public comment? Is Yes, Helen.
[8:11] I don't need to recite the rules of
public comment to you, do I?
[8:17] » [laughter]
[8:38] » Hi, my name is Helen Quisnooki.
Uh,
[8:45] we're here about another town building
that needs a roof replacement. Again, my
[8:51] questions as well as should be yours.
One, we also need to replace the town
[8:57] library roof that's leaking since
December 2025,
[9:02] which went through two major snowstorm.
One that dumped about 24 ines of snow,
[9:09] as well as numerous rainstorms. Some of
them were heavy and tomorrow is going to
[9:13] be another heavy day.
This roof is scheduled projected to be
[9:18] done in 2030, four years from now. Oh my
gosh.
[9:24] Two, the town expects the library to
cough up some money. How much is Goan
[9:29] Firehouse putting in? Remember they just
had Fisman fireman's day which made
[9:35] money? Three, we have public works
that is supposed to be checking town
[9:41] buildings so that we can nip these
issues in the bud. Sounds like to me
[9:48] that his her they did not do their job
seriously.
[9:54] Maybe it is time to start looking into
this department. People should stop
[9:58] being responsible.
four. Once again, the taxpayers is
[10:03] getting the shaft.
It's about time to get away from flat
[10:08] roofs.
I hope that you all look into this
[10:12] request before you all start saying yes.
Thank you.
[10:20] » Thank you. Helen,
did you want to give us a written copy
[10:24] or
[10:32] Sorry.
[11:07] What's that?
Any other public comment?
[11:11] Any other public comment?
Any other public comment? All right.
[11:16] Hearing none, we'll move on to the call.
Uh first up
[11:22] to consider and act upon a
recommendation from the board of finance
[11:25] to move $178,000
from designated line number 20523-57888
[11:35] uh CNR go roof replacement to
appropriated line 20523-57888
[11:42] CNR go roof replacement to begin work on
a capital project approved May in May
[11:49] 24. Do we have a motion?
>> Second. Motion and a second. Um,
[11:54] presentation.
[11:58] » There was a question mark after that
word. Sorry.
[12:01] Yeah.
[12:05] » Well, it it it seemed
>> Good evening, everyone. Thank you for uh
[12:08] thank you for responding to our request
to hold the special meeting. I know it's
[12:11] uh not always the most convenient thing
to get everyone in, so I I appreciate
[12:15] that very much. Um, as the uh moderator
stated, it was this is the continuation
[12:20] of a uh CNR capital project that was
brought up uh I believe in 2024 prior to
[12:26] my arrival. Um, this uh a quick summary
of it initially that was taken on the uh
[12:33] replacement of one of the three flat
roof sections of the Goan firehouse. Um
[12:37] at that time uh I believe from the uh
large amount of documentation that I I
[12:43] went through um provided courtesy of the
the members of goan and and Tom Denbeck
[12:48] had assembled quite a uh dossier on the
roof project. He had submitted a letter
[12:52] to the RTM and to I believe the board of
selectman in March of 2025 requesting
[12:58] that the project be all three flat roofs
in one to avoid uh tripling the setup
[13:03] and transportation fees. So that's what
this is. Um the bidsp spec before you uh
[13:08] was prepared through um the town's
purchasing office in partnership with
[13:13] Trimco Roofing. Uh they're the uh the
town's roofing I guess subject matter
[13:18] expert uh that you would call them on
call and uh this is to replace and uh
[13:24] replace the all three flat roofs in one
fell shot. Um there's a number of
[13:30] specifications attached to it that was
submitted as part of the backup. I am no
[13:34] roofer, but I have learned a lot about
roofs through some of our expert help.
[13:38] So, I may be able to provide some backup
uh and uh context, but bear with me if I
[13:46] don't know the most technical aspects of
the materials and whatnot, but I uh I
[13:50] can give you a surface level uh layman's
summary of it. It's a good quality
[13:54] product. It's not the It's certainly not
the cheapest possible roof out there. I
[13:58] think um what what we're replacing may
have been um and this isn't a uh it's a
[14:04] modified bumen roof, not the traditional
builtup roof as they once were known as.
[14:09] Uh it's a uh very high quality high
quality material. One of the most
[14:14] interesting things in throughout the
course of this is that we haven't been
[14:17] able to find too much information about
said roofs. Um, but this one will have a
[14:21] microchip buried in it that um, any of
us that may or may not be here in the
[14:27] future when this roof needs to be
replaced. Whoever gets the job can come
[14:30] over, scan said hidden microchip in it,
and know when it was installed, what
[14:34] it's made of, how it was constructed,
uh, when it got put down, and have all
[14:37] that information buried into the bedding
of the roof, so we don't have to, uh,
[14:41] try and piece together the information
again. So that's my
[14:47] » wow
>> rant, not presentation. Just a rant.
[14:50] Presentations come with slides, but I'm
open to any questions. Thank you again
[14:53] all for convening tonight.
>> There you go. Thank you. Uh and I only
[14:56] use the phrase presentation because it's
any less threatening than would you care
[15:00] to take a seat so we can ask you
questions.
[15:03] » Thank you. So, uh any questions and
comments?
[15:09] » Representative Franklin.
>> I have a question.
[15:12] » Oh, Kate, you'll be second.
Hi. Um, thank you for your your
[15:17] presentation. Um, I was I was curious if
you know and [snorts] maybe somebody
[15:22] else here could answer when the last
time the roof was replaced.
[15:29] » A resounding no. Uh, yeah, the uh
information uh we that we were provided,
[15:34] we can't put an actual date on it. Um,
but like I said, that's what we're
[15:39] hoping to avoid having to do by burying
that RF microchip in there and making
[15:44] sure that uh hopefully our future
descendants don't have to try and piece
[15:49] it together in the background.
>> Yeah. And can I ask a followup?
[15:53] » Yes.
>> Um, has has there been a history of a
[15:56] lot of like patchwork and repair on the
roof over the last few years if if you
[16:01] know.
>> Uh, yeah. I believe that that's why it
[16:03] was that's why it was brought forward uh
two years ago to begin the process of re
[16:07] of replacing it. Um there's uh there's
been a number of of repairs and leak
[16:13] leak repairs throughout the past couple
years. Um TMCO uh from the past year
[16:18] that I've been here, TMCO has has been
out there for that roof specifically and
[16:22] they and they've uh done some some
repair work on it throughout. Um but
[16:27] apparently prior to me there was a you
know a long string of history associated
[16:31] with the roof based on the large amount
of material that um uh member Dembeck
[16:36] had um had compiled over the years.
>> Right. Thank you very much.
[16:40] » Y
Representative McKenzie,
[16:44] » you're up. Kate
>> through you, Madam Moderator. Um, Chief,
[16:50] I see a what I might think of as a
duplicative fee on each of the roofs.
[16:56] There's a $9,300
fee for setup, safety, and equipment.
[17:03] They're billing us $9,300
for setting up safety and equipment for
[17:10] each roof. If we're trying to package it
all, can we get that down to one fee or
[17:16] why are we paying that each time if
they're already there? Thank you.
[17:22] » Uh, if you can hear me over the phone,
do you happen to have a page number that
[17:26] I can flip and refer to?
>> Actually, I know the answer.
[17:30] » Looks like 14. Uh, sorry, it's going to
be
[17:35] starting at 13, I believe. 14 and 15.
It's the Imperial Company letterhead. It
[17:42] has the three roof breakouts.
>> Yeah.
[17:45] » On individual pages. Looks like it
starts
[17:50] page 12.
>> Director Haley, I can explain that.
[17:55] » 12, 13, and 14. Roughly, it's roof one
breakout, roof two breakout, and roof
[18:01] three breakout. And on the bottom of
each one of those quotes for the three
[18:07] roofs, it says, "Add $9,300
for site setup, safety, and equipment."
[18:15] And that's on each roof. So, I'm just
curious,
[18:19] » represent trying to consolidate and do
it all at once. Thank you.
[18:23] » Thank you, Representative McKenzie. I'm
taking pity on Director Haley because
[18:27] that is a document from before his time.
Um but I do know what you are
[18:32] referencing that that was in the backup
uh from the budget we were presented
[18:37] last spring which was prepared the
winter before that the year before that.
[18:44] That is a much earlier quote from
Imperial. There are actually buried in
[18:49] there three quotes from 2024 and 2025
and then 2026. the one you're looking
[18:55] at, the 2025 with the 9300.
Um,
[19:00] that is not the quote that was approved.
And actually, I I did the math on that
[19:05] and they were only in the end on that
quote going to charge us one single
[19:09] $9,300 fee back then,
>> but it's very good.
[19:15] » It's somewhat moot at this point because
now we have a different bid.
[19:20] » All right. I appreciate that, madam
moderator, and thank you for the
[19:23] clarification.
>> Thank you for reading all the backup to
[19:26] the end.
>> You're welcome.
[19:31] » I app I applaud that greatly. Thank you,
Sue, because moderator Driscoll because
[19:36] I uh I quickly became very confused and
then if you look it for everyone's
[19:40] context, the the section that they're
talking about was from then the CNR was
[19:44] initially brought up dated at the very
top uh 116 2025. So I believe that's
[19:49] what they were referring to. Avoid the
three setup fees. Um the one you should
[19:53] be or the one that is in question
tonight before you is uh my
[19:58] correspondence 72326.
Thank you.
[20:01] » Yeah,
that was it. That is the problem. But it
[20:05] does show the history of just
>> Yeah.
[20:07] » how many times this has been bumped
around. All right,
[20:13] Representative Childs.
through you madam moderator. Um so I
[20:19] found hi I found um in the 2425 fiscal
year request um for a capital project um
[20:26] it was from um the director before you
he had mentioned in his description that
[20:33] um not only the twothirds of the flat
roofing but onethird of the pitched roof
[20:38] needed to be replaced. Did you when you
were looking through kind of the records
[20:42] to see what might have been done, did
you see anything about the pitched roof
[20:46] being addressed?
>> Uh, no. The I also spoke to TMCO as well
[20:51] uh when they rebid this and and when
they were out to create uh that package
[20:56] initially. Yeah.
>> Um no, there was never anything included
[20:59] in any of the initial scopes about the
pitched roof.
[21:02] » Okay. Um, I spoke to I spoke to the
luckily the the the person who wrote
[21:07] this one that was just quoted referred
to from 2024 still still there, still
[21:11] employed, still our um uh
representative. Uh, I spoke to him uh
[21:17] over the weekend again just to confirm
that and and so far no one has been able
[21:21] to uh identify a solid answer on how old
the uh the roof the pitched roof portion
[21:26] is. Okay. But um he's been out to the
site twice uh to write this initially
[21:31] and then to update it um with a little
bit better materials and things the
[21:35] second time around. Um and he's he
strongly believes that that because
[21:40] there's a sloped uh portion on the the
pitched roof, it's a it's a hip and
[21:44] sloped roof that there there's some life
still left in the shingle roof right
[21:48] now. Um I to quote the technical
assessment that he gave me over the
[21:53] phone. uh it has not experienced blowoff
or tear out or cracking at this point um
[21:58] and uh feels that there's there's um
life left in the shingled portion, but
[22:03] no, so far no one has been able to
>> find any paperwork that says how old
[22:07] that is.
>> Excellent. Thank you.
[22:13] » Any other questions for Representative
Bennett?
[22:17] » Through you, Madam Moderator. Um I have
a quick question. Um thanks for sharing
[22:20] the info first on the tracking chip. I
feel like that is something that's uh
[22:24] pretty interesting to know that that can
happen. It reminds me of like when you
[22:27] put it in your dog and they scan the dog
to find out where it goes. It's it's
[22:30] amazing how much technology can really
impact and make our lives easier.
[22:34] Hopefully it works by [laughter] the
time the room is done. Um when it comes
[22:37] to this new material that they're um
that they're per that they're get
[22:41] telling us to use instead of the like
you said the cheapest material. Do you
[22:44] have any idea on the longet like how
many years it is supposed to last? Uh
[22:49] yeah, the it comes with your, you know,
your standard commercial 20-year. I
[22:54] shouldn't say standard because some of
the other work roof work that may have
[22:56] gotten done in the past may not have
come with the standard warranty. Uh but
[23:00] it would come with what's considered a
uh indust industry industry standard
[23:03] 20-year warranty. Um uh the installer
themselves, bumperto bumper, two years.
[23:10] Uh, and TMCO being that that we work
with them, uh, TMCO is a national
[23:14] roofing supplier, uh, and they have a
number of contractors that are
[23:17] installers for them. But they, um, they
would come out prior to that two-year
[23:21] bumper-to-bumper, if you will, expiring,
and do an assessment on our behalf to
[23:25] make sure that that the installation was
done properly, uh, was all done up to
[23:28] spec, and then they TMCO would provide a
number of ongoing, um, ongoing
[23:34] assessments throughout. uh you know,
kind of like if you want the warranty on
[23:37] your Honda to keep up, you got to do the
oil changes and air filters when Honda
[23:40] tells you. Um they would come out and do
those ongoing inspections for us. And um
[23:45] all all things all things kosher would
go through um at 20 years, we'd be able
[23:50] to refresh the roof instead instead of
replace it. They'd be able to strip the
[23:54] top layer off, reskin it. This is a two-
layer roof. You have a heavy duty base
[23:58] layer uh and then a product that's
called Endura 100. Um it's not the
[24:02] Cadillac top end, but it's not It's not
the stuff that you have to tear off and
[24:06] throw away. So, you'd be able to redeck
the roof for another another 20 years of
[24:10] service at the end of the initial 20
years
[24:13] » for much less than what we have to do to
put it together.
[24:15] » Correct. It becomes what they refer to
as a roof restoration at that point. Um,
[24:19] by by putting in the the two-layer
system, you're able to protect. They're
[24:22] going to replace any of the wet
insulation that's under there right now.
[24:25] Tear that off, replace all the anything
that's compromised right now. Um, but
[24:31] uh, you know, nothing is obviously
bulletproof. uh you know, hurricane
[24:34] damage, things like that that may or may
not be end up being, you know, taking
[24:37] the road of an insurance type thing.
But, uh,
[24:41] all things included and all things by
design would be able to get a 20-year
[24:44] service life out of it and then be
restored for another 20 year service
[24:48] life after this. And then at that point,
you re remove, you know, down to the
[24:52] deck and replace the roof system as a
whole.
[24:56] » To the best of my knowledge, based off
of
[24:59] » Yeah. And who knows what products are
going to be available in 20 years. It
[25:02] could be a 40-year roof at that point.
Um, when it comes to those maintenance
[25:05] items that you just discussed, is that
something that's included in the price
[25:07] that's here or is that something that we
would have to come up with?
[25:10] » It's included as part of the package.
>> Oh, okay.
[25:12] » That makes me feel better. All right.
Thank you so much.
[25:14] » Thank you.
>> Okay. Any other questions?
[25:19] » Oh, Representative Elbow.
>> Hello. I did have a quick question. I
[25:25] work in a building that has flat roofs
as well. Birds are a big concern because
[25:31] love to drop things and then peck.
Causes a lot of leaks and
[25:38] birds like to peck at the roots and
cause of course going through and
[25:43] penetrates through and cause a lot of
leaks. Um is there going to be anything
[25:47] put up to deter birds perhaps? So that
can help deter
[25:54] early issues maybe.
>> Hasn't come up. Uh,
[25:59] » just a little POA, you know, that might
be something interesting. So,
[26:05] » I would uh I I I would look into one of
those plastic owls.
[26:09] » I'd even provide it myself if it if it
keeps the roof to get intact. I would
[26:13] look into it. But yeah, I mean
>> I I'll I honestly I will I I'll call
[26:18] TMCO and ask, you know, is bird
deterrent, you know, something in the
[26:22] roofing industry.
>> It sounds funny, but
[26:24] » No, I listen especially being near the
shore. I mean, I can only imagine that
[26:27] the occasional clam gets dropped
>> uh dropped and it misses the parking lot
[26:31] and hits the roof. So, I totally
understand it.
[26:34] » Thank you.
>> Yep.
[26:37] » All right. Any other questions?
Any other
[26:43] uh
and Representative Valencu? Sorry,
[26:46] Steve. I saw him first. You're next.
uh through you madam or under uh Chris I
[26:51] just want to thank you for your work so
far as a director of fire services uh
[26:57] for many years the the issues of the
needs of the various other four
[27:02] firehouses of ostaging have
[clears throat] needed attention and I
[27:07] think you promised to me when you first
got hired that you would address these
[27:11] issues of the other firehouses and you
have done so adimately so far. I just
[27:16] want to thank you for uh really doing a
great job uh taking care of our other
[27:23] firehouses.
Uh and that's it. Thank you.
[27:28] » I appreciate that. Thank you.
>> Thank you, Representative Bizade.
[27:32] » Who owns the firehouse?
[27:36] » Who holds title to the firehouse? Is it
goant like a private company like Algaji
[27:42] was or does the town of Waterford own
it? uh private association.
[27:47] » Okay. The town is obligated to put a
roof on this private property.
[27:54] » Uh the the building the building
maintenance services are are
[27:58] historically u part of a ongoing uh
agreement that was agreements that were
[28:04] signed with each individual association.
Uh I believe in the 70s.
[28:08] have to defer to someone that
1974 um and you that were signed in
[28:16] partnership um to protect both both
parties in in uh both parties interests
[28:21] in the properties I believe to avoid
them uh becoming subject to mortgage for
[28:26] improvement that it was if um that the
town would would support building
[28:31] building upkeep and building repairs uh
to avoid the associations having I guess
[28:35] put them under mortgage and at that time
the uh to the best of my understanding
[28:39] then at that time the town would lose
its its interest in a um you know a
[28:44] public safety infrastructure asset. So I
believe that's how those agreements were
[28:48] initially reached but I would I'm I'm
waiting into waters that are long before
[28:52] my time here uh just taking off the
surface level.
[28:57] » Will the town buy that property like
they did Owagi you think down the road?
[29:06] I
>> or it will it always be private? And if
[29:09] it is private, do they make any kind of
contribution to this expense of putting
[29:14] a roof on it or any other expensive
HVAC, doors, whatever?
[29:20] » Uh it's it's it's nothing that I've
explored. Um but historically, I believe
[29:27] the agreements were, you know,
everything was through funded through
[29:30] the town to the best of my knowledge
that I've put together. Um,
[29:34] [clears throat] uh, so I I I wouldn't I
wouldn't know. I'd be I wouldn't want to
[29:38] speak out of turn on something that I
don't know about what had gone on in the
[29:41] past, but I believe that
>> understand
[29:43] » everything has gone through uh through
town funds.
[29:46] » I'm totally in favor of putting a roof
on a firehouse to protect the apparatus
[29:51] and and the investment, but I'm not a
big fan of putting a roof on my
[29:55] neighbor's house, if you follow me.
So, someday we're going to own it. as
[30:01] part of the investment of buying the
property. Um,
[30:05] just curious. I mean, the alagotchi was
private for my whole life and now the
[30:11] town owns it and big things are
happening there. I didn't know if there
[30:14] was plans for that down the road as
well. Um, I I would say, you know, in
[30:18] the in the uh in the broader context, I
if if that was a case of, you know, we
[30:23] would definitely want to be approving
the roof either way, like you said, to
[30:26] protect your investment. Um, if if
that's something that the town wishes to
[30:30] pursue, uh, far beyond
my purview right now is today. Um, but I
[30:38] agree with you that that putting the
roof on would be a sound investment for
[30:41] the future. The [clears throat] other
concern I have, and it was addressed a
[30:43] little bit earlier, was um the the
shingled part of the roof,
[30:49] if it only has x amount of years, and
you said nobody can really come up with,
[30:54] should it be all done at one time?
Because if they're going to replace that
[30:58] down the road, the flat roof's going to
take a beating with the debris that they
[31:02] pull off. I would assume they're going
to strip it and replace plywood or
[31:05] whatever needs to be done.
Um,
[31:08] » how much more,
if this company even does that type of
[31:12] roofing, how much more would it cost
just to do it all and let it be done for
[31:16] a number of years?
>> One of the uh one of the challenges is
[31:20] that the project was already
established. So, I just followed the the
[31:23] existing scope so we didn't have to
expand the scope out again and bring
[31:27] this back um you know further years down
the road. And and with that uh one of
[31:32] the reasons that the next item is the
bid wa is the uh not the bid waiver the
[31:35] uh
the waiting period the 15-day waiting
[31:39] period to waiver it is to try to get
moving before the winter so we're not
[31:42] we're not subject to another winter of
>> it's all good all good what everything
[31:46] you're doing is good it's just u you
know I'm in that field where do you just
[31:52] put a band-aid on whatever is there or
should it be top down selling just
[31:57] replace it all and be done with it? How
much more would it cost? It's not going
[32:02] to get any cheaper
down the road. And if we're spending all
[32:07] this money on a flat roof with this
fancy
[32:10] migraine chip thing, we certainly don't
want to damage it without having to
[32:15] replace 5 10 years down the road.
You know, it I'm just thinking out loud.
[32:22] » Um [clears throat] I I I had to advance
the uh the scope of the project that
[32:27] existed. Um, like I said, we we did
touch base and they said that that they
[32:31] see life left in that. Um, and uh, at
this time he said he he couldn't give an
[32:38] accurate recommendation on replacing it
other than that that he believes that
[32:41] there's life left in the aphalt
shingles. Um, no one, like I said, no
[32:45] one has been able to identify the
current age of it, but um, I think it is
[32:51] it is advisable to try and get at least
all three of the flats done uh, prior to
[32:55] another winter. and um and then explore
that uh in the next coming five-year
[33:02] capital requests. Normally, I believe
we're putting out a five-year window for
[33:06] capital requests. So, to be able to find
room in there to continue that that
[33:10] portion of it if so uh if so possible so
we don't wait until something is failed
[33:16] and leaking. We can try and get ahead of
it and get it on the radar at least now
[33:19] and start looking at it while we have
some time to plan out and things. and
[33:22] hopefully this is um one of the last
ones that we're chasing uh late. So I I
[33:27] I totally hear and understand your
sentiments on on everything you stated.
[33:31] Um and I think that we're we're
attempting to become, you know, to take
[33:34] a more responsible approach and a little
bit more forward-looking approach to all
[33:38] these things. Um so I I totally agree
with with every one of your sentiments
[33:42] on it. So
>> thank you for your time.
[33:45] » Thank you.
>> Appreciate you.
[33:46] » Thank you. Thank you.
Was that any other questions?
[33:52] Representative Condan.
>> Uh through you, Madam Modiator.
[33:57] Uh
Chris had did you talk to uh I'm just
[34:01] looking at the pictures is the first
time I'm seeing the plans. Did you talk
[34:04] to uh HVAC Tech to get a price to
move those uh units on the roof?
[34:11] Is that included? I see in their their
uh construction notes that it's up to us
[34:16] to uh disconnect and reconnect. Um which
obviously we would want to approve this,
[34:22] but I don't want your budget to take a
ding. I know this project predates you,
[34:25] so if you had to come back for more
money at a later date, I just didn't
[34:29] know if this was uh I don't see any
evidence that it was included. Well, one
[34:33] of the nice things is that that another
um
[34:37] another step forward we took on the
buildings this year was to um work to
[34:42] get preventative maintenance contracts
uh on various different services that
[34:46] didn't exist before. Uh one of those is
that we were able to partner with MCOR
[34:50] who already has uh you know a bulk of or
is working towards a bulk of the
[34:54] projects um and the HVAC systems in
town. Uh so we signed on an agreement um
[35:00] with them to provide dual services uh
spring and fall turns and turnoffs and
[35:05] pre or post uh heating and cooling
seasons. So in the event we had to
[35:09] relocate or or disconnect something or
or you know if we had to drain a system
[35:13] to move something around based on what
TMCO needs to do for penetrations. Um
[35:17] you know right now we don't know is
there failed insulation around some of
[35:20] those things that might have to we have
to redeck a section or whatnot. Luckily,
[35:24] we we now have MCORE at our disposal on
call uh signed on a on a service
[35:28] agreement um for all the stations uh for
everywhere now. So, every every station
[35:34] will be getting not only that
preventative maintenance, but it it
[35:36] gives us a little bit more of um it's
kind of like if you have a service
[35:40] agreement with your oil guy, right?
>> You get kind of a little bit more
[35:43] preferential treatment when you need
them. So luckily we have them at our
[35:46] disposal in the event that we have to
significantly relocate something or or
[35:50] maybe drain the you know the refrigerant
out of a system or something to move it.
[35:53] » Yeah, that was my question because this
just says that they have to lift these
[35:56] at a minimum 8 inches of clearance to a
roof underneath it. But the the cost is
[36:02] to us not not to but as long as we have
somebody
[36:06] » Yeah. I mean there there' obviously be
you know a cost but it wouldn't have to
[36:10] be a uh you know a furtherance of a
capital project.
[36:15] I say that quickly. I knock as quickly
as I can, but hopefully it would just be
[36:19] uh there's enough slack in the line sets
to be able to lift it. But if they had
[36:21] to redeck a portion of it under
something like that, I'm sure MCOR would
[36:25] uh would have the tools and people to do
it.
[36:28] » Perfect. Thank you.
>> Thank you.
[36:32] » Okay. Any other questions?
Any other questions?
[36:39] Any other questions? All right, hearing
them. I think we're ready for a vote.
[36:46] Roll call.
[36:49] Roll call. [snorts]

[37:03] » Sure. The last meeting couldn't remember
if I had to repeat the motion.

forgotten is to move $178,000

[37:20] appropriated line 20523-57888

Gary, don't say that too loud. Gary will
[38:56] come find me.
>> Well, we're all going to call Gary and
