1 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:08,559 Okay. This isn't lit up. Lit up. I don't know 2 00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:14,840 what that means, but it's not lit up. Usually has 3 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,840 » somewhere. 4 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:31,279 Just let me just pause it and go back just to 5 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,279 make sure it's recording. 6 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:50,280 Usually our faces will start showing up. >> Yeah. And it usually comes out of there. 7 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,280 Let's see here. 8 00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:01,520 There you go. >> Did it. 9 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,680 » Which button? So I'm not next time. Thank you. 10 00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:10,520 » All right. >> Excellent. 11 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,520 » Just 12 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:20,799 Okay. So, um, call the meeting to order at 13 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:24,960 7:32. Uh, public comment. 14 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,479 Um, unless somebody wants to go before me, I'll go. 15 00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:28,720 » Uh, >> okay. 16 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:35,439 » You had your hand up first, so >> I do. Um, um, uh, I'm my name is Debbie 17 00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:40,960 Granquist and I'm here about the bridge design committee. It's composition and 18 00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:45,759 authority. And, um, I'd like to read something and then I will I have a copy 19 00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:50,159 to give to the select board. So, um, background. Um, ever since the select 20 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:54,720 board identified the need for removing the dam and raising the Lawrence Hill 21 00:01:51,920 --> 00:02:00,159 Road Bridge, many community members have expressed significant concern about the 22 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:05,680 project, ranging from its necessity to its design to its financial impact on 23 00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:09,920 the town. But the design of the bridge has been a key concern and was 24 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:15,280 specifically discussed at the special town meeting last February. In the 25 00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:19,200 special town meetings minutes, the select board member Jim Lynville 26 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:24,160 acknowledged the public's concerns about the proposed bridge, including that the 27 00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:28,400 replacement bridge would be um unattractive, would be too high, would 28 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,800 be too [clears throat] expensive, and the road might have to uh close during 29 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,360 the road would have to close during construction. In response to these 30 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:42,959 concerns, Mr. Limbo went on to state that there would be a design committee 31 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:47,360 made up of stakeholders to work out the questions and concerns of the 32 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,840 stakeholders in coordination with stone engineering. 33 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:57,920 That raises the question of who are the stakeholders in connection with um this 34 00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:02,400 project. The term stakeholder was not defined at the special town meeting. So 35 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:08,159 the select board now have the responsibility of determining how 36 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:13,760 broadly the term should be interpreted in establishing the design committee. A 37 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:19,599 stakeholder is generally understood to be an individual or group that has an 38 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:24,480 interest in a project or outcome or that may be affected by its result. This 39 00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:30,000 definition would suggest that stakeholders in this case should be 40 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:35,599 broader than the property owners and businesses immediately surrounding the 41 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:41,120 green who experience flooding. The Lawrence Hill Road Bridge is a townowned 42 00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:45,760 public asset. It is no different in that respect from the town office, the little 43 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:51,280 school, the fire station, the town garage, or the library. Decisions 44 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:55,760 concerning significant town assets and infrastructure affect the entire 45 00:03:53,440 --> 00:04:00,159 community. [snorts] The Lawrence Hill Road Bridge is an important 46 00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:04,640 transportation link. It is the principal east west connection for the residents 47 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:10,080 on the west side of the West River traveling into the village, accessing 48 00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:14,959 Route 100 and returning home. The bridge therefore serves residents throughout 49 00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:20,320 the town, not simply those who live or operate businesses or run organizations 50 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:25,440 immediately adjacent to the green. If the design committee consists only of 51 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,840 people immediate around the green, the design of an important town asset 52 00:04:27,243 --> 00:04:32,400 [clears throat] could effectively be determined 53 00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:35,600 determined by a very small subset of the community. 54 00:04:34,448 --> 00:04:40,080 [clears throat] The people who have experienced flooding should be 55 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:45,199 represented. They have important firsthand knowledge and legitimate 56 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:49,040 interests. However, I believe they should be part of a broader group of 57 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:53,360 stakeholders that also includes people who use the bridge, people with an 58 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:58,639 interest in the village and residents from other parts of the town. I applaud 59 00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:03,919 the select board for moving forward of this committee and believe this is 60 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:08,240 important opportunity to build public confidence [clears throat] in the 61 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:13,840 process. I therefore suggest that the select board one establish a reasonable 62 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:19,520 target size for the committee. Two, identify the categories of stakeholders 63 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:24,479 that should be represented. Three, publicly solicit volunteers from the 64 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,880 community who are interested in serving. and four, select committee members with 65 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:34,240 the goal of achieving a balanced representation of the various interests 66 00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:38,000 affected by the bridge and its design. This would allow the committee to 67 00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:42,880 include the stakeholders already identified by the select board while 68 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:49,120 also giving other western opportunities an opportunity to participate. 69 00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:53,680 A broader process would not um make the committee less effective. It would make 70 00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:59,199 its recommendations more credible and more likely to have the support of the 71 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:03,199 community. One additional question, who makes the final decision? Before the 72 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:08,000 committee is formed, the committee's authority should be clarified. Is it an 73 00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:12,720 advisory committee to the select board or does it have some decision-making 74 00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:17,199 authority over the design? Who has legal authority to approve the bridge design 75 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:22,720 and authorize construction? the committee, the select board, or the 76 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:28,160 voters. Clarifying those roles now could prevent considerable confusion later. 77 00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:32,479 Next steps. I am requesting that the composition and authority of the 78 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:36,800 Lawrence Hill Road Design, the Lawrence Hill Road Bridge Design Committee be 79 00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:41,919 added to the agenda for the next select board meeting on September 22nd. Thank 80 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:47,680 you for your consideration. Respectfully submitted. [clears throat] 81 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:50,560 You guys are copy. Great. Great. 82 00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:55,080 » Okay. Karen, >> can I just ask you a question? 83 00:06:57,039 --> 00:07:04,499 Stakeholders volunteers from the town 84 00:07:02,479 --> 00:07:04,499 [snorts] 85 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,639 to pull it together or something like that. 86 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:17,199 Read again. Okay. After public confidence building public confidence 87 00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:20,000 you said the size 88 00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:24,240 » I therefore suggest that the select board one establish a reasonable target 89 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:29,599 for the size of the committee. >> Two identify the categories of 90 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:36,560 stakeholders that should be represented. Three publicly solicit volunteers. Okay. 91 00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:41,520 » And lastly um select committee members with a goal of achieving a balanced 92 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,520 representation. 93 00:07:51,360 --> 00:08:00,639 Okay. Any anything else, Karen? >> Yeah. Um, so at the the last meeting I 94 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:04,919 mentioned replacing the American flag and as it be done before 95 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,400 » we had it we had it delivered this morning. 96 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,599 » Oh, good. It it it's going to be done. >> Yeah, we had it delivered. I picked it 97 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:18,879 up from the post office. >> Okay. 98 00:08:15,599 --> 00:08:22,560 » Any other public comment? >> Thank you. 99 00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:24,240 » Okay. Um, >> no changes to the agenda, 100 00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:31,599 [clears throat] right? >> Yeah. Uh, sorry. Changes to the agenda. 101 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:34,159 I I screwed up. Um, any changes to the agenda? 102 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,240 » Um, >> not for me. 103 00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:42,800 » Not for me. >> Okay. 104 00:08:37,839 --> 00:08:45,120 Okay. Uh, review delinquent taxes. >> Thank you guys for your consideration. 105 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,600 » Thank you. >> Yeah. Thanks, Deb. 106 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,080 » I guess first of all, did you have any questions on uh 107 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,560 » I want to say thank you for the notes that we get with it. That was so helpful 108 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,160 to me. >> Okay. 109 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,399 » Because I always go back and look at last month, but they're already 110 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:06,880 » right already. Okay. >> So, that's great. That's very helpful. 111 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:11,120 » Well, I always did it for me. I never sent it to 112 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:16,160 » great minds think alike. So good stuff. >> Sure. So 113 00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:19,519 » I didn't have any questions on >> I didn't either. It was pretty 114 00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:25,600 straightforward except for the third from the top about the correct address. 115 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:29,800 Do we need to look into the grand list about that to make sure it's correct? 116 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:38,240 » Third from the bottom. >> Oh, third from the Okay, gotcha. 117 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,240 Um, and so I'm just it's is that is it is it is it wiped? I mean, has it been 118 00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:44,320 paid? >> I haven't. Well, and also because of the 119 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,120 problem with the computers, >> right? 120 00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:49,200 » They had they couldn't we couldn't look at it. I talked to Greg. 121 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:55,360 » Okay. >> Um, my concern was that this isn't 122 00:09:51,600 --> 00:10:01,760 consolidated communications anymore. >> Yeah. No. Okay. So, Yeah. Right. So, 123 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,760 what I we can No, it's okay. We can uh >> Yeah. So that's 124 00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:07,120 » Well, no, the one I'm talking about the the one that the one below it. 125 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,680 » Oh, I'm sorry. >> That the like I'm sorry. It's the fourth 126 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,480 from the >> Oh, that's 127 00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:16,560 » Yeah. So, it says Why is it still here? >> Well, it's being addressed in the the 128 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:21,600 You got a memo from Kim? >> Yes. Yeah. 129 00:10:18,079 --> 00:10:26,160 » Okay. So, that's that's the I just wanted to correlate. Thank you. 130 00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:30,827 » And other than that, I don't think I have any questions. 131 00:10:28,807 --> 00:10:30,827 [clears throat] 132 00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:35,079 Okay. 133 00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:46,920 Okay. So, um Okay. So, I have concerns. I guess you wrote. Is that what it is? 134 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,920 Payment concerns. 135 00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:50,279 » Um 136 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,640 » my concerns are the policy. >> Yeah. 137 00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:00,240 » That that you we redid. Uh >> the collection policy. 138 00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:03,440 » Uh the Yeah, the collection policy. 139 00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:06,480 » Collection policy. Um, >> the not the delinquent, the tax 140 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,880 collection policy. >> There's two different ones. 141 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,920 » Yes, there is. So, that's >> Yeah. See, and I don't know what the 142 00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:15,680 regular one says. >> So, the tax collection policy. 143 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,880 » No, I'm look I want I'm interested in the 144 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,800 » the delinquent tax. >> The delinquent tax the delinquent one. 145 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:30,079 » Sure. Um, in the old one, uh, before it was 146 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:34,640 revised last year, um, there was a part in there that said payments are 147 00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:39,040 proportional. And I've had that come up before. 148 00:11:36,959 --> 00:11:43,200 There's a line in there that just says, can I scoot over here? Sure. 149 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:48,720 » Show you this, of course. Uh it said partial payments will be applied 150 00:11:46,079 --> 00:11:52,959 proportionally to the principal amount of tax, interest, and penalty. Because 151 00:11:51,360 --> 00:12:00,720 I've talked to some people who said, "Okay, I'm making this payment and it 152 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:03,839 comes off uh the principal. It doesn't come off the principal. It comes off 153 00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:07,040 proportionately." >> Yeah. 154 00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:11,440 » And you guys took that out of the old policy 155 00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:15,360 and I would like you to put it back. So the payment goes towards the older 156 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,720 » well now that's another part >> that's definitely 157 00:12:16,959 --> 00:12:24,720 » okay um so 158 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,560 that proportional part just gives more of an explanation 159 00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:31,440 » okay >> now [clears throat] 160 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:34,399 um this also I thought of this because now we have new taxes 161 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:40,320 » due >> and I was always told that um the pay 162 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:46,880 the any payment goes to the oldest unpaid tax first. 163 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:50,079 Okay. My question was, is it in writing? I can't find it. It's not in the old 164 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,920 policy. >> Has that been an issue at all? Has it 165 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:58,320 come up as an issue? Like >> are people like like do they have like 166 00:12:56,079 --> 00:13:03,760 an issue with where the money goes? >> No, but I'm saying what if I'm thinking 167 00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:12,800 like somebody that might have to deal with that. Okay. So, say if somebody 168 00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:16,720 owes $5,000 delinquency, I'm using just round numbers, right? 169 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,480 » But then they just get a new $10,000 bill, 170 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,320 » right? >> They pay that $10,000 171 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,959 according to >> we're going to do five and five, 172 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:29,120 » right? But what if they want that to go to 173 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,839 the new? >> I guess it's possible, but why would 174 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,519 they want to? Because the old one is the one that's 175 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,760 » it's accumulating interest, >> right? 176 00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:41,760 » Yeah. But you're getting a $450 $400 penalty if you don't pay the new 177 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:47,360 one >> whereas as opposed to the other depends 178 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:51,279 on $50 interest whereas you're paying 75. 179 00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:55,680 » So clarity on that would be I guess. >> So we should we could revise. 180 00:13:53,600 --> 00:14:04,279 » Well, first of all, it's do you want it to go to the oldest or should it be 181 00:13:58,959 --> 00:14:04,279 their choice is is my question. 182 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,800 Hi. 183 00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:17,440 » It's been our practice to always apply it. My understanding is because I don't 184 00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:23,680 post them is it's always gone to the outstanding balance. And I wouldn't 185 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:31,680 think that we as a town would want the oldest out unpaid taxes to continue to 186 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:36,160 sit there because somebody doesn't want to get a new penalty. And I can 187 00:14:34,079 --> 00:14:42,240 appreciate that they wouldn't want a new penalty. 188 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:46,639 But we've often had to um tell people what our delinquencies are 189 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:51,600 and we want them to be as low as possible. So, if we've had a banker or 190 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:57,440 I've had the school system ask me what their our delinquencies are because 191 00:14:54,639 --> 00:15:05,040 they're going for a tax anticipation note. So, it's in our best interest to 192 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:12,560 keep the delinquencies down to apply any payment to the oldest 193 00:15:08,079 --> 00:15:17,120 and let um the taxpayer know that I do believe it should be in writing. 194 00:15:14,959 --> 00:15:24,160 » Right. Okay. So that would be that would be in repayment plans then number five 195 00:15:20,959 --> 00:15:27,040 » I would put it under four four as part of when you talk about the interest 196 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:33,760 » penalties and interest >> I would put partial payments there that 197 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:39,440 partial payment proportionately as well and then also any payments if there's 198 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:43,360 delinquent taxes any payments >> okay so I think we're hearing you so why 199 00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:47,440 don't we work together with you and we can come up with 200 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:50,320 » yeah new wording revisit and then we can run it by you and then we can bring it. 201 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,639 » Really good point. >> Thank you so much. 202 00:15:51,199 --> 00:15:57,120 » Yeah, it does need to be. >> Yeah, they have one more thing along 203 00:15:54,959 --> 00:16:03,040 these lines. Um [clears throat] the postmark 204 00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:09,360 the postmark for regular taxes, the ones due now. Correct me if I'm wrong, Kim. 205 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:15,360 Um the postmark counts. That's why you wait the two weeks. 206 00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:23,680 » Correct. We allow it to be received as on-time payment if it is postmarked 207 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:29,920 before or on the due date. And I would just caution everyone to understand that 208 00:16:27,199 --> 00:16:35,040 postmarks are handled differently nowadays at the postmark post offices. 209 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:40,800 And if you're going to rely on a postmark, you need to watch them 210 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:45,600 handstamp it because there's no guarantee that because you drop it in 211 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:49,360 the post office today at anywhere in the United States, it will be stamped for 212 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,519 that day. >> So, just be very cautious. You'll end up 213 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,560 somebody will end up delinquent and they'll be upset. 214 00:16:54,480 --> 00:17:03,040 » You ought to put that in writing. >> That ought to be in there. I did put it 215 00:16:58,959 --> 00:17:09,280 I did put it in the um notice the big you know front and back papers online 216 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:12,959 » and is it in the regular tax collection policy because it 217 00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:17,919 » well I don't recall us ever having a regular tax collection policy. I believe 218 00:17:15,439 --> 00:17:20,559 we started that and then it got mixed and we just went with the delinquent tax 219 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,679 policy. >> Yeah, I think that sounds familiar to me 220 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:31,919 too. But isn't but the the point is for me that the postmark does not count. 221 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,320 » Correct. It does not count for delinquent taxes. 222 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:40,720 » Delinquent taxes >> and there's an important reason for 223 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:47,200 that. It is so cumbersome to have a payment come in. Gretchen has 224 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:53,520 on the first of the month posted all the penalties, interests, and taxes. 225 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:57,600 uh penalties and interest on the delinquencies. 226 00:17:55,679 --> 00:18:03,919 And if a payment comes in with a postmark on a delinquent tax, she then 227 00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:09,200 has to go back and undo all those individual postings 228 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:13,919 one by one. She has to go in and unpost the interest. Then she has to go in and 229 00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:18,160 unpost the penalty. And it's extremely cumbersome. And I believe that's part of 230 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,840 the reason why we don't allow a postmark on delinquent taxes. 231 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:26,559 Okay. >> And I did that issue come up. 232 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,679 » Okay. Should be in writing, >> right? 233 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,160 » Okay. Yes. >> Okay. We can add that when we revise 234 00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:31,600 these. >> Yes, please. 235 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,360 » It's great. >> Thank you. 236 00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:36,160 » That's me. >> Okay. We'll work together. 237 00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:39,200 » I'm sorry to add to your >> Great stuff. Great stuff. Clarity is a 238 00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:42,559 good thing. >> This is This is really good. 239 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,520 » Thank you. >> Really important. 240 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,520 » Sure. 241 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,799 Oh. Whoa. 242 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:57,120 One more agenda. >> So, for these meeting minutes, I did 243 00:18:54,320 --> 00:19:02,240 look look at them on my uh on the digital copy, but I just got the 244 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:07,440 physical copy and I'm hoping we can >> Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't ask you to 245 00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:10,799 discuss that tax memo I gave you. >> Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, you had something. 246 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:16,880 » Sorry about that. >> Okay, we'll go back to that. 247 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:22,880 » Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Um, so when we discussed the delinquent taxes, 248 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:27,679 I think in early July, we agreed that I would come up with a memo that you could 249 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:32,480 review so you would understand what the total impact would be of writing off 250 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:35,440 those taxes. And this is just for the buyouts 251 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:40,080 » for the two FEMA buyouts. >> Correct. 252 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:45,280 » And honestly, um, it's not like we would ever have been due that money. It really 253 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:49,760 should have been handled last year. It shouldn't have been 254 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:54,000 I don't I think we would have always had to write it off because some of the 255 00:19:51,600 --> 00:20:00,799 closings happened after a tax bill went out. Um it's lost opportunity. It's lost 256 00:19:58,559 --> 00:20:05,600 revenue, but it's going to go against the current taxes this year as opposed 257 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:10,240 to last year. And I can only thank Gretchen for giving us a little cushion 258 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,760 because she's collected a bit of a chunk lately. 259 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,840 » Absolutely. Yes, >> I saw that. 260 00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:18,320 » What did I do? >> The money that you've collected so far 261 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:22,480 is helping to soften this up. >> Okay. 262 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:26,880 » Right. So, I think it's about $8,000 in tax revenue that would be written off 263 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:32,320 plus the penalties and interest. I think the total is about $10,000. 264 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:37,280 » Yeah. You have here $10,89. >> Yeah, I forgot it at the office. 265 00:20:35,679 --> 00:20:40,960 » Okay. Yeah. So, I just need you to review that and 266 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:44,320 let me know if it's okay for me to write that off. 267 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:48,640 » Yeah, I make a motion that we approve Kim writing off the FEMA buyouts here uh 268 00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:52,559 in the total for the two FEMA buyouts in the total of $10,89. 269 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:56,799 » I second. >> Any other discussion? All in favor? 270 00:20:55,120 --> 00:21:00,159 » I >> Thank you very much. That'll take care 271 00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:04,480 of that little mess. >> Yeah. Thank you. 272 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:12,880 » Okay. >> Thank you. You too. You're welcome. 273 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:16,559 » Okay, meeting minutes. So, I just I think we need to reook at number six. 274 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:21,600 Patty, I didn't catch you until just about an hour ago. Um 275 00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:24,000 I think uh the second set of numbers there are incorrect. 276 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:28,559 » Oh, okay. >> Right. Because we're it's 277 00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:32,159 the numbers going down instead of up there. So, because the home home rates 278 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:35,919 should be increasing. So, if we could double check those. I don't have the 279 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:38,000 right numbers, but we can look at um I think that's all that I had. I don't 280 00:21:37,679 --> 00:21:42,080 know. >> Um 281 00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:46,559 the [clears throat] only change I had was um 282 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:50,440 on the first bullet point under number three, it's Andy Schultz 283 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,840 with a U, not an I. 284 00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:58,720 » What is it? >> Oh.

If anyone wants to know 351 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:54,679 what it's going to look like on Saturday, rough drawing, 352 00:27:55,039 --> 00:28:00,880 » it's going to be very busy. So, um, >> yeah. So, I'll just make sure they have 353 00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:05,039 everything they need and the fire department of course is on it as they 354 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,840 always are. So, that's that. And I'll just can I just throw out there that, 355 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,520 uh, I think they're still looking for additional people to, um, volunteer. 356 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:15,279 Last I heard, they still need more volunteers. So, anyone out there in TV 357 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:20,960 land that would like to volunteer and help out, reach out to them. Uh, I guess 358 00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:24,640 it would be uh [clears throat] I guess Jeff, I 359 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:28,240 guess, right? Or whoever >> any of them. 360 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,640 » Todd or Okay. All right. >> No, not the not the fire department. 361 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,600 Sorry. >> I was like, 362 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:37,200 » sorry. Sorry. I should be clear. Looking for volunteers for the fair. 363 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,720 » Okay. Sounds great. Thank you. >> Great. 364 00:28:37,919 --> 00:28:44,320 » Cool. Hey Brian, it's Jenny Server. Talking 365 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:49,679 about the roads in the past when there used to be the um antique show and the 366 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:54,240 stuff at the Playhouse, they would always put a saworse in front of Markham 367 00:28:51,679 --> 00:28:59,039 Lane saying it was a private road, no parking. We always end up with people 368 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:03,679 trying to park on Markham and it is a onelane road. Do you think you could ask 369 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:07,600 them to put that saworse there that said or comes to not park? 370 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:11,919 » I think we can. Uh I want to make sure. Yes. I'm just thinking out loud. I think 371 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:16,559 that's probably a great idea, but are we also going to be blocking off anyone 372 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:20,240 that wants to go into the antique store if we do that? I'm just thinking out 373 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:25,840 loud. I don't know. >> I'm not I'm not I'm not suggesting 374 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:31,919 um close the road, but they used to put a saworse like sort of over half the 375 00:29:29,279 --> 00:29:36,399 road saying no parking on this road. >> Okay, gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. 376 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:39,559 » Okay. Sure. Thank you. I can work on that. Sure. 377 00:29:43,679 --> 00:29:46,679 » Great. 378 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:54,320 » Uh yeah, that's all I had on that. >> Okay. 379 00:29:52,399 --> 00:30:03,600 » Um and uh new road crew member uh will 380 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:08,159 be uh Brian Vander. 381 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:15,200 uh very Dutch name and I'm sure I'm not pronouncing it right, but uh he's going 382 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:19,840 to be uh showing up at the town garage tomorrow. 383 00:30:15,679 --> 00:30:22,799 » Tomorrow at 10 minutes of six joke. >> I hope not that early. 384 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:26,960 » Yeah. Yeah, that's when he's going to be showing up. So, I'll be there and 385 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:31,360 » Okay. I've set my alarm already. >> You want me there? I'll be there. If 386 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:35,600 » you don't If you That's great. Thanks for doing that, 387 00:30:32,399 --> 00:30:42,960 Jim. Um yeah. Okay. And uh 388 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:47,279 so Dale Road tree removal. Um 389 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:50,279 I hold on eight. 390 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,320 » Yeah. 391 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:06,399 » So I can address this. Sure. >> All right. Uh Ken, 392 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:13,840 » yeah. >> Hi. Uh so, uh we had talked about 393 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:20,559 putting out bids for the tree removal. Uh after this discussion, Jason, the 394 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:24,240 road foreman at the time, went and because it is in the purchasing policy 395 00:31:22,399 --> 00:31:32,000 that he can sign off on it, he ended up talking to someone 396 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:38,880 uh named Jimmy who uh gave a quote for two trees to be taken down when it was 397 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:46,880 supposed to be free for uh $3,000. It was under our So when uh so 398 00:31:43,679 --> 00:31:51,279 Jason set that up. I got a phone call from Luna Sarnio 399 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:54,880 who was saying that she wasn't sure why there was only two trees being taken 400 00:31:52,960 --> 00:32:02,320 down and not three. And I said, "I'm not sure. Let me figure this out." So I then 401 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:07,679 spoke with Jimmy and I found out that Jason had hired him at the time he was 402 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:12,272 employed, had already set up taking down the trees with Linda Sneogi's caretaker 403 00:32:10,159 --> 00:32:14,720 and it was happening the next day. >> [snorts] 404 00:32:12,399 --> 00:32:19,120 » So, I called him and I said, "There's a third tree that is dead. It's the ash 405 00:32:16,399 --> 00:32:23,360 tree and uh that has to be taken down, too." And 406 00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:31,360 he said, "That's not a problem. It'll be an extra 1,500." Which put us right 407 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:40,320 under the uh5 $4,000, right? $5,000 mark for uh being able to not have to put out 408 00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:44,880 bids. So they were taken down because it was inefficient to rearrange 409 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:50,320 something when Jason had already set it up when he was an employer when he was 410 00:32:46,559 --> 00:32:53,720 an employee and it falls under our purchasing policy. 411 00:32:55,919 --> 00:32:59,640 » So that's that explanation. 412 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:08,480 » Anything else on that? >> Nope. 413 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:13,600 » Okay. uh radar and speed sign. >> Okay. So, you have in front of you three 414 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:18,000 proposals. Um I just reached out to three different companies. It's uh 415 00:33:16,462 --> 00:33:22,480 [clears throat] um so that I could um you know really see 416 00:33:20,159 --> 00:33:27,039 three different companies that had s all three companies are very similar 417 00:33:23,679 --> 00:33:33,039 products. Um I believe um Dwayne and Melissa put me in touch with sorry uh 418 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:38,399 camp Tom what's his name in London >> Cavanaaugh. Thank you, Kavanagh. So, in 419 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:42,080 London, they put these up and so they actually use one of these, which is 420 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:45,440 traffic logics. Um, and they had some success with them, but I got two other 421 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:50,399 um bids as well. So, they're in front of you. I was hoping to come to this 422 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:53,519 meeting and make uh you know, ask you to make a choice on one of them, but not 423 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,320 quite there because as we looked a little closer, there's a couple of 424 00:33:54,559 --> 00:34:04,559 unanswered questions that I still need to clarify. Um so the entire um the cost 425 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:07,600 of these three if you take a look um each one of them is coming between 426 00:34:06,399 --> 00:34:12,240 » more expensive than the others. >> Yeah. So one be they're between6 and 427 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:16,320 $8,000 right. Yeah. Yeah. All very very similar products. U they have all 15 428 00:34:14,879 --> 00:34:19,520 inch. They have all have two-year warranty. They all have the solar 429 00:34:17,839 --> 00:34:22,560 wattage uh backup >> different looks though. 430 00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:25,440 » Um yeah but you know and and some of these pictures are adjusted like this 431 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,480 thing that says slow down. Like we wouldn't take it with that. they would 432 00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:30,560 all be very basic. So if you remember from the original conversation, 433 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,159 » right, >> um the agreement with Vtrans because we 434 00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:37,679 because it is a state road is that it has to be very basic and it has to look 435 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,200 something like this, [snorts] >> right? 436 00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:41,520 » Very very basic. >> Yeah. 437 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:45,919 » So it just has your speed >> um and it has to be yellow with the 438 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:50,639 black, etc., etc., etc. So um >> do you have a 439 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:54,480 extra copies if anyone wants one? um is a free 440 00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:59,680 » so I can either come back with a final proposal in two weeks or um if we're 441 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:04,560 comfortable we could move forward with approving the purchase of two units as 442 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:10,000 some you know [snorts] up to 8,000 or 8 8.5,000 I would say after the final 443 00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:13,119 review um I don't know what you feel maybe we you 444 00:35:11,839 --> 00:35:15,040 want time to look over you guys didn't have time to look over 445 00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:17,280 » I looked over it >> okay 446 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:21,280 » I I did not have time >> okay so why don't you look over them and 447 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:24,160 then We can uh hopefully finalize this in two weeks. 448 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,079 » Yeah. What is the delivery time on these? 449 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:29,839 » So, it's about three weeks, three to four weeks depending. 450 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:34,400 » Some of them include shipping and some of them don't. 451 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:39,839 » Right. But the totals all come Yeah. 16. >> I'm just going to say I like this one. 452 00:35:37,839 --> 00:35:42,640 » Yeah. And I think the most simple >> I think regardless of which company we 453 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,359 use, that's what we're going to end up with because it's the right size. It's 454 00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:51,599 the right color. >> Yeah. And it's it's not as big. 455 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:56,320 » Yeah. Yeah. So, all the ones that you're looking at are all 15-in displays. So, 456 00:35:54,880 --> 00:36:00,240 they're all the same in terms of the size. 457 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:04,240 » Although, there's one that does show a little bit bigger, but that's 458 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:07,920 » But they all have that orange. >> So, it has to be a yellow background 459 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,760 with black letters is what uh Vrans currently wants. 460 00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:11,359 » Okay. >> It would be the white one. It would be 461 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,480 the yellow. >> It would not be the white one. It would 462 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:18,240 be the yellow. >> So, We can choose the display color. 463 00:36:17,599 --> 00:36:22,400 It's >> We can It's all It's all dictated. It's 464 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:26,960 all dictated in in the VR. So, it's uh it has to be the black background with 465 00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:29,200 those um yellow numbers. Yeah. 466 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:34,400 » Right. Right. >> And do those numbers uh change color if 467 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,560 you're below the speed limit? >> They do not. They're always the same. 468 00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:40,640 » Okay. >> And we can't have something that says 469 00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:45,280 thank you or slow down. None of that is not that we would want it, but none of 470 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:48,880 it is allowed on a state road. Uh, so we'll revisit this in two weeks. 471 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,960 » Yeah, I really wanted to knock it out today, but I I I just want to look at a 472 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:57,119 couple more things because I one one of the things that I found out is um the 473 00:36:55,119 --> 00:36:59,440 solar wattage is varying >> on a couple of them. 474 00:36:57,839 --> 00:37:03,119 » I was going to say there's some of them like hardline and then others are like a 475 00:37:01,359 --> 00:37:06,079 Bluetooth and I don't know it's like booting up. 476 00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:10,880 » Yes, that's correct. But with any of them you can get Bluetooth capability to 477 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:17,040 get the information back. Um, but there are some that you can get it through a 478 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:21,119 laptop. Um, but it too, but then there's one that lasts for 479 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:25,839 much longer than the other two. >> Correct. With one of them, it's it's the 480 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:29,440 right and right. Exactly. But on the other ones that don't have that lifetime 481 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,440 data. >> Yeah. 482 00:37:29,839 --> 00:37:34,960 » You can [clears throat] continue continue to get it through Bluetooth on 483 00:37:33,359 --> 00:37:37,760 your own, which is exactly what they're doing in London Derry. They're not 484 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:42,359 continuing to pay that. They're just going to the sign. but Bluetooth. 485 00:37:42,396 --> 00:37:45,680 [clears throat] >> And London Dur is they're happy with 486 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:50,079 theirs, right? >> They are. They are. They had they had 487 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:53,599 one issue in the beginning um uh something with I believe it was ice or 488 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:56,160 something, but in general they're happy. Yeah. And you know, I'm through there 489 00:37:55,040 --> 00:38:00,880 all the time. We all are, right? And they're always functioning, 490 00:37:57,359 --> 00:38:06,200 » right? I've never seen an issue. So, so um 491 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,200 why don't we 492 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:11,839 um go with the with the legendary option, 493 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,359 which by the way is one of the cheaper ones. 494 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:17,119 » The the uh >> yeah, the only reason I didn't bring 495 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:21,440 that forward today is because um it's not clear with the proposal that they're 496 00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:25,359 giving me if it's solar wattage of 50 or 90 and 50 is not going to cut it 497 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:28,400 according to what I've read. So, we want to get it with the n with the higher 498 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:32,560 one. So, I don't know if that's going to vastly change that number. So, if if you 499 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:36,480 guys would like to say we can move forward with that up to a certain amount 500 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:42,000 in case that number changes, I'm be thrilled to be able to move forward. 501 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:47,839 » How about I move that um we authorize you to um 502 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:50,640 buy the uh safe pace uh >> traffic logic. 503 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:59,119 » Yeah. uh product. Um and uh we authorize you 504 00:38:55,760 --> 00:39:01,040 to spend up to pick a number 7,000. That should get 505 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,200 » That should get us. That's fine. If it's over there, we'll come back. That sounds 506 00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:08,240 great. >> I second. 507 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:13,359 » Any other discussion? All in favor? 508 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:20,079 » I don't know if now's the time or not. If this is a new implement for the for 509 00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:25,920 the town, who will manage this data and oversee it and take action on it if 510 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:32,400 there is any action? So the only action that could possibly be taken is if we if 511 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:37,040 at some point the board wanted to you know take the data the data that says 512 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:41,040 there's you know speeding is happening at the you know the most between these 513 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:46,240 hours you know if they wanted to take that data and either use it to hire an 514 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:50,960 officer you know to to sit here and give out tickets and slow traffic down or if 515 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:55,280 they ever wanted to use that data to say maybe we want to you know fight to 516 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:58,079 change our speed limit to 25 or whatever. Um, 517 00:39:56,240 --> 00:40:01,839 » who's the they in your >> So, so that data we can get and we will 518 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,640 hold it here in the select office. So, I will work with Patty and we'll just make 519 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:08,880 sure that we have that data here for anyone that for any whenever the select 520 00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:12,240 the select board for the select board to use it. Would are you thinking we would 521 00:40:11,119 --> 00:40:15,440 like to make it public? >> Anybody actually that has a 522 00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:18,720 responsibility now that we're going to have all this data to actually look at 523 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:22,480 it. >> Um, I think my answer to that would be 524 00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:24,480 the select board to to look at that data and decide what they'd like to do with 525 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,240 it. Okay. >> And I think if there's ever any interest 526 00:40:25,839 --> 00:40:32,480 in it, we happy to share it. >> I can't imagine when we wouldn't. 527 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:38,640 » Yeah. I but [clears throat] the 528 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:42,720 you know, for instance, if we had citizen complaints about, you know, the 529 00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:52,800 speed of traffic at a certain time of day, we could go into the data and and 530 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:58,319 confirm it or or whatever. Uh but also this would be give us an opportunity to 531 00:40:55,839 --> 00:41:04,480 have a state trooper or a sheriff come in and you know right start start giving 532 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:08,079 out some speeding tickets. >> But you know there are all sorts 533 00:41:06,079 --> 00:41:11,760 » or it could be a public information like in the newspaper every month says you 534 00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:15,920 know >> people you're going too fast. 535 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:19,280 » Yeah. Interesting way to use it. I didn't think of that. 536 00:41:18,079 --> 00:41:23,680 » Hang on. Yeah. >> Okay. Okay. 537 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:33,680 » Um Okay, Katie, attic repairs. 538 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:40,640 » Yes. So, uh we had talked about uh pest control at the little school and um 539 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:44,839 there was a discussion about uh getting bids. Um, 540 00:41:45,119 --> 00:41:52,160 essentially, uh, after some research, uh, we found out that we already have a 541 00:41:50,079 --> 00:42:00,160 relationship with Vermont Pest Control. They, uh, do stuff in this building. Um, 542 00:41:56,079 --> 00:42:07,040 and it was an emergency. And so, uh, we met with Vermont Pest Control and, uh, 543 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:13,119 had them come in. Uh, the, uh, bid was under $5,000. 544 00:42:10,319 --> 00:42:17,440 actually way under. And um we do >> you remember what roughly what what? 545 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:21,680 » Yeah, it's like 100 $125 a month. >> Okay. 546 00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:25,280 » To have bait stations. And uh so they went in I got a text message about this. 547 00:42:23,839 --> 00:42:28,720 » And there are no issues with the kids on that. This is all on the top floor. 548 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,880 » No, this is around the whole building. Oh, 549 00:42:29,359 --> 00:42:35,440 » no. This is around the whole building and in and downstairs in the basement. 550 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:40,160 In the basement in It's all It's everywhere. Yeah. 551 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:45,040 » Yeah. So, uh just uh the bait boxes were installed. 552 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:51,760 Um so there's there's a huge hole about this big in um the wall that looks into 553 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:56,480 the basement that like a hole. What do you think? A possum 554 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,640 » the big hole >> and uh 555 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:03,599 » on which >> it's it's on the back part of the little 556 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:08,480 we just need to get some screening in. >> We need to get some screening something 557 00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:15,200 in there. Right. And then in the attic, well, all over the whole place is 558 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:20,800 invested. Um, uh, but the attic has a lot of holes in the ceiling and in the 559 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:23,920 floors and it's very old, but I think we need to get some a contractor in there 560 00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:25,760 as soon as possible and and put out something for bids. 561 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:29,440 » Okay. >> And uh I would like to make a motion 562 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,720 » to do that. >> Yeah. To do that. Yeah. Uh they're 563 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,760 anxious to get it done. >> Okay. So, I'm sorry. To do what? I I 564 00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:40,480 would clarity >> to give a uh I would like to figure out 565 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:43,839 what needs to be done. >> So this is on the third floor. 566 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,680 » You're not talking about pest control. You're talking 567 00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:50,079 » No, we're talking about now contracting to fix the holes in in the walls 568 00:43:48,319 --> 00:43:52,960 » in the walls in the ceiling in the third floor. 569 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:56,319 » And in the third floor and then the hole in the basement. 570 00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:01,520 » Okay. >> For you know, I mean I can clarif I can 571 00:43:59,119 --> 00:44:04,480 have you call Don and clarify. >> I I got it. I I I I just wanted to I get 572 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:08,640 clarity. >> I know. I'm sorry I wasn't being very 573 00:44:05,839 --> 00:44:12,000 clear about it. Uh >> so 574 00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:13,280 » we need a professional to come in and tell us what needs to be done. 575 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,000 » Yeah, >> I think we should move forward with 576 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:19,440 that. I agree. I mean, I saw that roof with you and I agree. I mean, and just 577 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:23,839 to be clear for everyone, it's not like there's holes into the roof. It's just 578 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:29,760 that in the gap between the roof and this and whatever you know the the drop 579 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:32,880 there right there it's open there and that's where there's 580 00:44:31,359 --> 00:44:36,800 » there's also an issue with the door in the attic. It's uh it's hard it's hard 581 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:41,359 to open and close. It's I think you know it's I think a safety issue that brought 582 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,720 up as well. 583 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:49,560 » Yeah. >> Okay. So, I make a motion to uh 584 00:44:49,599 --> 00:44:58,240 put out uh bids to get a contractor to come in and look at uh the how does 585 00:44:55,599 --> 00:45:04,319 Well, question before I do this process is that we put it out and people come in 586 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:09,040 and look at it or do we have one person and we get specifically what needs to be 587 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:11,119 done and then put out that that list of what needs to be done? I just want to be 588 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,079 clear like >> I don't think we can have a scope of 589 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:17,920 work until we have a professional. We can't have a scope of work to do a bid 590 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:21,599 until we have professional come in. >> So I think we could have a professional 591 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:25,520 come in and look at it and then from there we can build and make a scope and 592 00:45:24,079 --> 00:45:30,400 then and then do that. Yeah. >> But so I'm I'm going to move that we 593 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:32,720 authorize Katie to to pursue that. I second. 594 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:36,640 » Yeah. >> That being exactly 595 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:40,880 » um we're gonna Sorry, I'm gonna let you speak. 596 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:46,640 » Yeah. We're going to get um uh someone a professional to come in and look at the 597 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:51,119 attic uh you know the the holes and the repairs that need to be done and you to 598 00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:55,400 get the scope and then um once we've got the scope put it out for bids. 599 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:05,440 » You want to second that? Did you already second it? 600 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:07,359 » I did I think. Did I not? Can we just clarify? 601 00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:08,960 » Yeah, thank you. >> Second. 602 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:12,000 » Okay, >> so I move. 603 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:16,240 » Thought I did.

Uh the the deadline for that is the end of this 622 00:47:53,200 --> 00:48:06,000 month. Um and I walked that that uh project. This is on Piper Hill Road 623 00:48:01,839 --> 00:48:13,280 about from from where it joins with old Tavern Road up about a third of a mile. 624 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:19,680 It's it's ditching and culverts and um that sort of stuff. We don't have the 625 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:30,079 manpower to do that right now. So, um, uh, I reached out to the road foreman in 626 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:35,760 London who suggested a couple of, um, uh, contractors who could do that work. 627 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:40,960 Um, but he said, "Oh, by the way, uh, Jared Sanderson just had a a 628 00:48:38,240 --> 00:48:48,880 cancellation, so he could do it."
