1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,760

00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,440
waiting on Jen.

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,559
So, maybe we could

5
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:14,320
I don't know. Did everybody get a chance

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,359
to look at the minutes? I thought it was

7
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:19,359
spot on. Yep.

8
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:21,359
>> So, I guess I'll move that we accept the

9
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:22,960
minutes as they're written.

10
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,240
>> Second.

34
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,320
We're not allowed to put one. It just

35
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:34,560
off of the right away. Right. Yeah. So,

36
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,640

>> Yeah.

44
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:51,600
>> Take a little time to get it digital,

45
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,320
you know, to get it

46
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,920
>> to. Okay. But Joanne can do that or

47
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,719
>> we got a we got that one copy we had. We

00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:03,280
had the big sign with the blue

49
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,799
background. That's copy. The only thing

50
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:09,759
is the tractor in there is uh could be

51
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:14,480
copyright because it's not uh

52
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,480
took they took it off another picture.

53
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,400
>> Okay. So, we can get the tractor, but

54
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,760
they're they're going to when I go up

55
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,840
there, we're going to figure it out.

56
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,640
>> Okay.

57
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:25,040
>> So, do you need a check? Is that kind of

58
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,000
the next thing?

59
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,120
>> I think so. Um they said they uh I got

60
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,239
the I can leave this here.

61
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:32,879
Keep it.

62
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:35,599
>> Yeah, I'll take it. you know, but um um

63
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:39,599
they want to deposit for like $971.

64
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:42,000
>> Okay. Which is like

65
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,519
>> three quarters of

66
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:48,550
>> Yeah. The final balance is $323.75.

67
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,280
» Okay. I bet the uh

68
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,229
>> I bet the balance

69
00:02:56,239 --> 00:02:58,959
» why don't we um All right. Let me just

70
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:01,440

71
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,519
it was like 971

72
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:06,000
versus like 1280 something.

73
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,920
>> Yeah, 1295.

74
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:09,360
>> 95.

75
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,440
>> I don't know. Maybe this needs to put it

76
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,319
in check.

77
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:14,959
>> Yeah, it it probably is. I'll I'll let

78
00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:17,519
them decide. So

79
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:19,440
>> if they want to do it between checks or

80
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,560

00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,070
>> uh $478.13

85
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,159
because you're not uh the town doesn't

00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:35,519
get charged tax, right?

87
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:37,280
>> This is private, so you were charged

88
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,440
sales tax or $28.

89
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,000
>> All right, so that's about $239 a piece.

90
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
All right, that's less artwork than I

91
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,519
told

92
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:46,239
that's not bad.

93
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:48,319
>> Yeah, that's

94
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:50,560
the artwork

95
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,319
included.

96
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:54,319

>> Oh, okay. So,

100
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,920
I promise I'm not mark anything up. I'm

101
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,959
just completing my ethics training.

102
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:10,640
>> Can't pro. We have to do that every

103
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,120
year.

104
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,640
>> Two years.

105
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,799
>> Well, there's one and that's I did want

106
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:17,919
to mention it. Okay. Well, so let's finish up the signs here. So,

107
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:19,680
let's let me talk to Peter and I'll just

108
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,519
I'll call you. I'll find you and we'll

109
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:21,840
just

110
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:23,919
>> Yeah.

111
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:27,120
Yeah.

112
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,040
>> I'll bring what I You should bring where

113
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,000
whatever you have.

114
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,600
>> Yep.

115
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,000
>> Okay.

116
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,520
>> So, you just need like a free stock

117
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,680
image of a tractor.

118
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,720
>> Yeah. Yeah. Because um the ones we had

119
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,720
there.

120
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,639
>> Yeah. But it sounds like hail can

121
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:44,400
provide, you know,

122
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,880
>> you know, it's nice tractors and stuff,

123
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,360
but it's almost, you know, something

124
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:49,919
that

125
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:53,120
>> they may be able to do make a minor

126
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,840
change to it and it'll be

127
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:58,400
>> it would be nice to try to that Joey. It

128
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,080
looks nicer. I mean, it looks more like

129
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,240
a farmer because it has,

130
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,240
>> you know, the baseball hat maybe changed

131
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,000
to get instead of a straw hat. The

132
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
baseball hat, you know, most farmers got

133
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,360
baseball hats. They don't have straw

134
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,000
hats and

135
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,600
>> Yeah. else, you know, that kind of

136
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,880
thing.

137
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,840
>> Okay. So, seems really uh helpful and

138
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:18,160
interested. So, they really want to get

139
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,320
going as soon as we can.

140
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,720
>> Okay.

141
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,120
So, we uh I told them, you know,

142
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:32,390
we'll get the meeting today.

143
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,960
» So, so my understanding is that we've

144
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,360
chosen the artwork that was done by

145
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,000
Joanne, right? And there there was there

146
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,440
was a picture

147
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,199
>> that that was like a digital ditch. She

148
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:45,600
did got done for somebody that heard for

149
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,520
her. So, okay, I can bring up that

150
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,639
picture

151
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:50,000
>> because we want to have a different kind

152
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,320
of background, right? Show that

153
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,960
basically shows a different background.

154
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,600
>> Okay. So, so that's we're not nobody's

155
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,680
talking about using that tractor image.

156
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,160
We're just talking about using Joans,

157
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:02,560
>> right?

158
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,240
>> Okay. I just But

159
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,759
>> unless they can't do it, but I would

160
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:07,039
think they'd be able to do it because

161
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:08,160
everything's digital. Well, they can

162
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,360
get, you know, they got

163
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,000
somehow.

164
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,080
>> If if they can't, then we'll find out

165
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,240
why they can't. We'll just take care of

166
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,080
Yeah.

167
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,199
>> Okay. We have our next We have our next

168
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:25,680
move on that. That's great. Um, so, uh,

169
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,880
yeah. Curious. Will this be installed by

170
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,639
the spring, you think, or?

171
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:32,880
>> I guess probably. I would think if we

172
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,199
got the signs, you know. Yeah, I think

173
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:37,280
some afternoon, you know, once the signs

174
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:38,720
are made, I think they want to put them

175
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,880
right up. The highway department, he

176
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,199
said some they were going to do it.

177
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:45,680
>> Yeah. And they got the poles, any kind

178
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,840
of poles that would work, you know. So,

179
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,759
>> right. Of course, they're pretty good

180
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:53,440
size signs 18 by 24.

181
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,280
>> So, we're going to like mark like put a

182
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:56,800
stake in the ground or something where

183
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,840
they go.

184
00:06:57,840 --> 00:06:59,599
>> I think they're going to try to put them

185
00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:03,280
on existing poles. Okay. So, and if and

186
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:05,520
if that doesn't work out for any reason,

187
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,280
I think there was some thinking we might

188
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:07,440
have.

189
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,440
>> Yeah, we have uh five different

190
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,479
locations. I think two on River Road to

191
00:07:12,479 --> 00:07:15,199
up by um coming from Conway by the

192
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:18,319
reservoir the one right there

193
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:20,960
>> u from the reservoir from coming from

194
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,080
Williamsburg to from Williamsburg this

195
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,479
way the way he put one there. That's

196
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:27,840
some place to find a school or

197
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:28,160
something.

198
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,039
>> Sales.

199
00:07:29,039 --> 00:07:30,080
>> Mhm.

200
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,000
>> On the school entryway.

201
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,639
>> Yeah.

202
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:36,639
>> Cases.

203
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:39,120
>> Great place to start.

204
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,199
>> Yeah. Yeah. Um

205
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:47,199
All right. Good. Um so I guess next on

206
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:49,840
the list here is the weightly scoop

207
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,960
spring summer inclusion. The big

208
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,510
beautiful bill was volunteered

209
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,790
arm twisted to be the

210
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,160
» to be the liaison the soup. So signal

211
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,000
team and we need to buy was it

212
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:24,790
>> I I put my most recent scoop in excill

213
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,319
» anyway I think it says in the back

214
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:31,360
in case you're three or so

215
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,360
seems like it's more than four times a

216
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,959
year seems like it does, but it's not

217
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:39,360
like always a little bit of mailbox or

218
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,200
spoons.

219
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,440
>> So, um I think it would be great if we

220
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,000
hit the next edition with sort of maybe

221
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,600
a an explanation of what what everyone's

222
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,000
going to see as they drive around town.

223
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,640
And I honestly I sat down a couple times

224
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,880
to because we kept missing scoop

225
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,120
deadlines by like four hours. And I I

226
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,720
was sitting down to try to write

227
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,959
something after having read this right

228
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:09,120
like actually read the right to farm

229
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,720
bylaws. And it's really kind of like

230
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,040
you know it it's written to protect

231
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,760
farmers from nuisance lawsuits and and

232
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,399
the you know it's like kind of hard. I

233
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:22,080
know Bill's gonna do a good job, but I

234
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,320
think it'll be tricky to kind of not

235
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,880
sound like, hey, we're going to do

236
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,320
whatever we want, right?

237
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,519
>> You know,

238
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:31,440
>> and you're going to deal with nothing

239
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,839
you can do about it. This is why. And

240
00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:35,360
so, it's going to be a little bit tricky

241
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,320
to tone the thing, right, for, you know,

242
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:38,959
>> the public

243
00:09:38,959 --> 00:09:41,279
>> general consumption. Yeah. But, uh, you

244
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:42,880
could add something about like the

245
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,399
pamphlets and the and the farm and the

246
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:50,160
signs going up to kind of tone it down a

247
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,760
little bit, you know, and like

248
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,000
>> have it be sort of an inclusive

249
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,839
community vibe to it.

250
00:09:55,839 --> 00:09:57,760
>> Yeah. So, you know, a lot of important

251
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,160
agricultures in the town area.

252
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,600
>> Yeah. And we got the best we got the we

253
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,279
got a word smith on it.

254
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:06,959
>> That's correct.

255
00:10:06,959 --> 00:10:10,080
So no to the

256
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:15,030
Joey and Danny for

257
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,870
» Yeah. Jo.

258
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,640
It actually might be kind of nice if we

259
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,240
could get a picture. Do they do pictures

260
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:28,949
on the scoop from

261
00:10:28,959 --> 00:10:30,720
» on every page?

262
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,640
Um, I wonder if we could get a picture

263
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,440
of maybe Joanne with next to one of the

264
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,120
signs.

265
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,200
>> She She So, she was the artist for this.

266
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,360
>> Correct. Yeah.

267
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,800
>> Be good for spring or summer or summer.

268
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,720
>> And then I wonder if maybe we could get

269
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,360
the updated pamphlet in the June

270
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,720
>> the uh the June edition.

271
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,480
>> Sorry, we threw you off. That's okay.

272
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,079
Just hung out with the folks over there

273
00:10:56,079 --> 00:11:01,120
for a while like Right.

274
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,399
>> Like, oh, wait a minute. They're talking

275
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:08,470
about important things.

276
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,399
» Oh, thanks for coming, Teresa.

277
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:12,720
>> Thanks.

278
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,240
>> Um, I don't know. Any any thoughts about

279
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,480
that? You want to write something about

280
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,399
it? Maybe bring it for us to look at

281
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,640
next month? Sure. We're talking about

282
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,160
Bob.

283
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,360
I mean, there's a lot of things we can

284
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,360
discuss.

285
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,000
>> Yeah. I think maybe I mean my a couple

286
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,480
subjects here, but we're limited in what

287
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,519
we can

288
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:40,640
>> Yeah, we're doing something every issue. You know, I think mo a lot

289
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,959
of town committees, you know, historical

290
00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:46,560
society, etc., etc. kind of checks in,

291
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:48,079
>> you know, this is

292
00:11:48,079 --> 00:11:50,880
>> Yeah. the housing committee, the giving

293
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,680
garden here, you know,

294
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:55,360
housing committee up. Yeah. So, you

295
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,160
know, there's and I think it's also kind

296
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,560
of an advertisement for participation to

297
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:04,000
an extent, too. Yeah. You know,

298
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,760
>> um yeah. So, I don't know. The signs uh

299
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,670
look for

300
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,720
participating in uh garden renovations

301
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,829
at the elementary school.

302
00:12:19,839 --> 00:12:23,750
Okay.

303
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,200
All right. Great. Thank you for doing

304
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,720
that.

305
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,470
>> Haven't done your head.

306
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,120
Proud of you already.

307
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,920
Oh, okay. And then this do I have?

308
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,519
Um, thank you.

309
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:45,519
All right. So, Teresa is here from the

310
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:47,519
farm to school

311
00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:52,160
group. Uh, just you or Megan or just

312
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,079
Oh.

313
00:12:54,079 --> 00:12:56,480
So, we're you're in the sort of uh

314
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,200
stages of planning uh some renovations

315
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,600
of the garden. You're trying to jive

316
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,880
with the the landscaping proposals that were submitted

317
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,120
>> and I I've made some copies.

318
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,600
>> Awesome. I can share those. These are

319
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,000
the It's the approved draft.

320
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:14,720
>> Yep.

321
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,519
>> So, it's not going to be finalized, I

322
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:21,680
think, until the spring. Um

323
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:26,480
but there it is. And I think it said um

324
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,760
how much space was was allowable, but

325
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:30,720
it's considered

326
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,200
>> I think 2,000.

327
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,200
>> Yeah. Which is great.

328
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,920
>> Um it's small.

329
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,639
Uh but you can see the garden beds, the

330
00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:44,079
raised vegetable and herb

331
00:13:44,079 --> 00:13:48,320
beds. One, two, four, eight.

332
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,320
Um

333
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:50,880
>> yep.

334
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,839
>> On there. So yeah, so that was good to

335
00:13:53,839 --> 00:13:55,519
because that was, you know, one of my

336
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:59,199
concerns thinking about going in in the

337
00:13:59,199 --> 00:14:01,040
spring is just making sure we were

338
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,600
fitting in that within that bigger plan.

339
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,680
>> Um, but yeah, there looks like there's a

340
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,760
lot of room. And then on the back, I

341
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,079
believe it's phase

342
00:14:12,079 --> 00:14:16,240
proposed phen. Yeah.

343
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,199
>> Or just it just explains their basics,

344
00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:20,880
>> right? They weren't going to try to do

345
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,000
everything at once,

346
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,110
>> right?

347
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,959
» Um,

348
00:14:28,959 --> 00:14:31,760
we were actually going to try um to

349
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,320
schedule a kind of community garden day

350
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,480
in April. Um, to try to get folks, you

351
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,480
know, more buying from the community,

352
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,560
more people involved. Um, and we have a

353
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,160
small budget for materials and soil and

354
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,440
things like that. Um,

355
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,600
but I've wondered if we could coordinate

356
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,199
in terms of timing

357
00:14:55,199 --> 00:14:59,199
>> and if you can let me know um, you know,

358
00:14:59,199 --> 00:15:01,199
materials if you could make some

359
00:15:01,199 --> 00:15:03,519
recommendations that great of things

360
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:05,519
that we should prepare for.

361
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:08,399
>> Right. Right. Um, so do you have a a

362
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:10,000
sense of what you want to try to get

363
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
done this spring?

364
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,120
Well, I mean, anything we do is going to

365
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,160
be an improvement. I mean, there's right

366
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:18,880
like um

367
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,000
>> there's nowhere to go but up.

368
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,720
>> There's nowhere to go but

369
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,560
>> um so I think you had mentioned some

370
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,360
renovation on the the raspberries

371
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,600
because they kids love the raspberries

372
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,399
there. Yeah.

373
00:15:30,399 --> 00:15:32,399
>> Um and so we want to make sure we keep

374
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:34,880
them. Um,

375
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,560
but maybe clean them up a little bit and

376
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,910
I can contact

377
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,710
» if we can get some more.

378
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,440
» Oh, hi.

379
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,360
>> We might be looking for donated

380
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,320
blueberry and raspberry.

381
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,199
>> I think I know those.

382
00:15:55,199 --> 00:16:00,790
>> Do you know a guy?

383
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,000
» That person I ever use is Rachel.

384
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,000
facial with my neck. Okay. Yep. Anyway,

385
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,839
>> I've tried best.

386
00:16:09,839 --> 00:16:10,880
>> Okay.

387
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,880
>> Um but you know, we're pretty

388
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,959
the school hasn't shared any like

389
00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:19,120
specific needs. They just want they just

390
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,639
want a space where they can get out

391
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:21,440
there in the dirt.

392
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,160
>> Y

393
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,800
>> um we've been working with um in each of

394
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,399
the schools we have kind of a lead

395
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:29,360
educator. And so lately it's Amy Tibbit

396
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,079
in the third grade. Um and she's been

397
00:16:32,079 --> 00:16:34,240
wonderful. She's just super anxious to

398
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,279
get the kids out there. So um we're

399
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:39,759
actually starting with um some garlic.

400
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:42,160
We're doing some unconventional garlic

401
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,480
planning. Um we're seeing some spring

402
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,959
garlic and doing some containers and

403
00:16:46,959 --> 00:16:48,560
things like that in the classroom. And

404
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,440
we actually were were purchasing an

405
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,480
indoor grow pack for that class so that

406
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,120
each of the classes within they can have

407
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,759
their own like tray and starts. We were

408
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:02,079
hoping we could do some starters for

409
00:17:02,079 --> 00:17:03,680
when we get the garden

410
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,760
>> and just get something out there, you

411
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,439
know, just get it going.

412
00:17:07,439 --> 00:17:08,240
>> Sure.

413
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,679
>> Um because these plants are super

414
00:17:09,679 --> 00:17:11,839
exciting and look

415
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:13,679
>> awesome and comprehensive and it's going

416
00:17:13,679 --> 00:17:17,280
to take a while. So, we're trying to get

417
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,520
things.

418
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:20,559
>> Yeah.

419
00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:23,120
It's pretty cool.

420
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:26,480
>> Um so, yeah, we're just beginning to do

421
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,319
the planning for the garden restoration.

422
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:30,559
So, I'm I'm really open. We are very

423
00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:31,600
open to you.

424
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,280
>> Sure.

425
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,960
>> Well, I know, you know, we had been

426
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,039
talking I had been talking with Amy

427
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:39,520
about trying to support

428
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,440
they I thought they were going to do a

429
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,120
community garden.

430
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:43,600
>> Yeah.

431
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,120
>> And we were talking about supporting

432
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:47,039
that and then I'm not hearing too much

433
00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:48,960
talk about that. Eric, are you tuned

434
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:49,760
into the

435
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,440
>> Yeah. So, I have a little bit I was

436
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,280
going to say at the end I can give a

437
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:53,760
little

438
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,200
>> Okay. It's it's it's

439
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,919
slow. Um they've done like updates on

440
00:18:01,919 --> 00:18:05,120
mission statement and values and kind of

441
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:07,120
what the proposal is. They have a

442
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:09,280
meeting on Thursday that I'm hoping to

443
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,799
zoom into.

444
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:14,400
>> Um and then I'll be able to report more.

445
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,039
But uh right now it's I have like some

446
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:18,480
basics on what like the mission

447
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,919
statement is and

448
00:18:19,919 --> 00:18:20,559
>> okay

449
00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:22,160
>> things like that. and they're trying to

450
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,520
they're going to do a scoop article. Um,

451
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,679
and they're trying to, you know, get

452
00:18:27,679 --> 00:18:29,760
people

453
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,520
interested in the in the idea of the

454
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,160
project.

455
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,440
>> Okay. Okay. I I know I had I had some

456
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,160
lumber mil to make raised beds,

457
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:38,640
>> right?

458
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,760
>> And and it's there. And I've also got

459
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,600
some other stuff that could go for that,

460
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,840
you know, for that. of this. And I know

461
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,840
Mike, you were talking. I can I can

462
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,919
throw some views of

463
00:18:49,919 --> 00:18:52,000
>> potting soil at it. You could throw some

464
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,919
compost at it. I'm sure there's some

465
00:18:53,919 --> 00:18:56,720
parent material to work with, too. So,

466
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,280
oh, I'll figure these three roughly.

467
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,200
>> Well, that's part of the plan.

468
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,160
>> I think we said a 4x4, right?

469
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,559
>> Small smaller.

470
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:08,559
>> Yeah. I mean, I guess we wanted to see

471
00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:10,559
what the school wanted ultimately.

472
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:12,480
>> Yeah. But I think the ones we're talking

473
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,760
about for you know

474
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,919
>> Yeah, that's I'm confusing the two. I

475
00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:18,880
think with Amy I just said 4x4 is a

476
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,640
yard. So it's

477
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,200
>> Do you know what I mean? Like 4x4 foot

478
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,520
high is one yard of material.

479
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:26,400
>> Oh, okay.

480
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,559
>> So that keeps it like

481
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:28,880
>> Yeah.

482
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,080
>> easy. Or you could do a 4x8. It's too

483
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,039
you know something.

484
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:34,000
>> Okay.

485
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,919
>> A four a 4x 8 8 in two. A 4x8 is 32 *

486
00:19:39,919 --> 00:19:41,919
2/3

487
00:19:41,919 --> 00:19:43,600
64.

488
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,840
>> Is it a 4x8 is a yard? I can't remember.

489
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,600
I had it all figured out when I

490
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,480
>> because 4x8 is 32 squared.

491
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,350
>> And then if you multiply that by 2/3

492
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,799
I can figure it out in a second, but

493
00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:59,360
there's a handy guard calculator that I

494
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:00,480
came up with for our website.

495
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:06,230
>> 21 and a3.4.

496
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,559
Okay. So yeah, so a 4x8 and 8 in high is

497
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:12,880
a little less than a yard.

498
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:13,679
>> Yeah.

499
00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:15,200
>> Um

500
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,960
so that's actually that's kind of a good

501
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,600
number to to remember. But um

502
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,240
>> yeah, it's a 4 by8 if you don't fill it

503
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,200
a foot, you know, 10 in is the yard.

504
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:25,760
>> Okay.

505
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,520
>> Because I always tell people not to fill

506
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,280
them all the way at the top

507
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,280
>> because then you can't buy more compost.

508
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,280
No, but like you want to you can't just

509
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,799
you just put it in there and then never

510
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:38,159
put add anything,

511
00:20:38,159 --> 00:20:40,400
>> right? You plant. Yeah.

512
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,320
>> Yeah. You got to add some top dressing

513
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,880
compost every year, you know.

514
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:45,679
>> Right.

515
00:20:45,679 --> 00:20:47,840
>> Okay. All right. So, that that gives us

516
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,760
a good reference. But I mean, I think I

517
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,679
think some folks here are ready to

518
00:20:51,679 --> 00:20:53,280
contribute, you know, the actual

519
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,760
materials and, you know, perhaps be

520
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,760
reimbursed in a tiny way. Um if it if

521
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,320
you know but um it sound you know it

522
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,919
sounded like you had enough money to

523
00:21:03,919 --> 00:21:05,760
play with to at least get started.

524
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:06,559
>> I think so.

525
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:09,440
>> Yeah. I'd love to get a couple apple

526
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,120
trees in there.

527
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:13,600
>> Yeah, I think there's space for that,

528
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,000
too.

529
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,480
>> Yeah. Yeah, cuz it looks like they have

530
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,240
like several.

531
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,000
>> Yeah,

532
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,240
>> we can probably get a cherry to put in

533
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,080
there. We're putting some cherries in

534
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,720
ours this spring. Okay. I'm sure I can

535
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,600
just take one or two

536
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,919
>> cuz yeah, maybe

537
00:21:31,919 --> 00:21:34,000
I I'll talk with Bailey about it. He

538
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,120
knows more. But uh yeah, it probably

539
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:38,559
isn't too. And I mean, I don't know if

540
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:40,720
it's an interest, but I've got a ton of

541
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,360
chestnuts that

542
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:45,360
they get pretty big and you definitely

543
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:48,640
need two to produce nuts, but they're up

544
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,120
for grabs. One thought I'm having about

545
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:54,320
cherries is I think when they're

546
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,760
pickable, the kids aren't going to be

547
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:56,080
there.

548
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,840
>> Well, right. Yeah, they're they're going

549
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,080
to be July.

550
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,000
>> Yeah, June and July. No. Yeah, they'll

551
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,320
be a little earlier,

552
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,679
>> I think. End of June. Cherries.

553
00:22:07,679 --> 00:22:10,640
>> Yeah, let me check. Yeah, that's

554
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,880
>> summer programming. Not a whole lot.

555
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,120
There's a little bit at the time.

556
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:18,880
>> Okay. Well, if you wanted some

557
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,559
technology on getting the blueberries

558
00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:22,240
and the raspberry planted, you just have

559
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,919
to contact me.

560
00:22:23,919 --> 00:22:25,200
>> Do a little school.

561
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,240
>> Yeah.

562
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,280
>> Oh, that would be great.

563
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:27,600
>> Cool.

564
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:28,960
>> That'd be really cool.

565
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,520
>> Okay.

566
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,520
>> One thought I had actually after I read

567
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:39,200
your email there, Teresa, today was one way, you know, we could certainly

568
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,600
the Acom could earmark funds for this.

569
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,000
How cool would this be? Like this time

570
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,360
of year, the sixth grade plans a gift

571
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:51,520
for the kindergarteners

572
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,039
like a tree

573
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:55,440
>> or a bird bath or something for the

574
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,000
garden and then it gets ordered. That's

575
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,159
something we can pay for, right? And

576
00:23:00,159 --> 00:23:02,799
then you know and then before they go in

577
00:23:02,799 --> 00:23:04,960
the spring they you know plant get the

578
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:05,919
tree planted

579
00:23:05,919 --> 00:23:08,640
>> like

580
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,400
those kindergarteners do the same thing

581
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,840
when they see the thing grow up you know

582
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,679
and and make fruit a few you know when

583
00:23:15,679 --> 00:23:20,149
they're a few years later

584
00:23:20,159 --> 00:23:23,520
» so this number two area

585
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,919
is this something that's kind of loosely

586
00:23:25,919 --> 00:23:30,960
planned out or it looks like the rocks

587
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,520
It says it says natural playground.

588
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,480
>> Playground.

589
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,720
>> Is that

590
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,480
should be that's so that's to north of

591
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,640
the basketball field. So it's going to

592
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,400
be like a little minefield of like

593
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,520
things that they can jump and climb.

594
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,640
>> I think so. I I I think these snake

595
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,240
these sort of snaking uh stone paths are

596
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,080
to control erosion in in natural the

597
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,159
natural flow of rain, you know, coming

598
00:23:58,159 --> 00:23:59,919
off the building and

599
00:23:59,919 --> 00:24:04,080
>> and just in general back there. I

600
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,000
>> I mean, if it's if it's anything like it

601
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,080
was in 1980, the kids are going to be

602
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,000
throwing these rocks at each other, you

603
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,679
know.

604
00:24:11,679 --> 00:24:15,440
>> Well, I I do wonder about that. I I feel

605
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,919
like every school that we talk to about

606
00:24:17,919 --> 00:24:19,440
gardens, when we speak to the

607
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,200
maintenance folks, that's like the first

608
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,080
thing they say. No small rocks.

609
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,120
>> Right. Right.

610
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:28,159
>> It's large rocks.

611
00:24:28,159 --> 00:24:29,840
>> Large rocks.

612
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,159
is something our farm has

613
00:24:32,159 --> 00:24:35,520
quite a lot. We'd be happy to contribute

614
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,600
>> for the hardscape

615
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,600
>> rocks. We have a gravel bank, so there's

616
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,120
lots of sort of, you know, ranging

617
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:45,760
bouldery sizes to some that are quite

618
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,159
big, but cool. Just need to get them

619
00:24:48,159 --> 00:24:50,000
transported over there. I don't think I

620
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,520
have anything safe enough to do that

621
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,720
right now, but when the time comes,

622
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:55,039
>> yeah,

623
00:24:55,039 --> 00:24:56,880
>> you know, we can go pick around in

624
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:57,440
there.

625
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:58,000
>> Yeah.

626
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,159
>> Who's the like who is there?

627
00:25:00,159 --> 00:25:02,400
>> So, what you're looking at is you you

628
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,080
could explain it as well. So,

629
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,000
>> actually went to the the walks. You

630
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,320
know, more than I can tell. This is um

631
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,039
Landscape Interactions is a company in

632
00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:12,880
Leiden that's owned by Okay.

633
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,880
>> this guy Evan that's

634
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:15,760
>> a designer.

635
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,279
>> Yes. Yes. And so these are he got a

636
00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:21,360
grant or the town got a grant hired him

637
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:25,279
I guess they're his company to do these

638
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:27,760
pollinator friendly landscaping

639
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,440
proposals.

640
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,400
The next thing that has to happen is the

641
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,880
grant now that you have in design you

642
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,080
can go get the grants foration

643
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,320
but

644
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,200
>> that's not kind of yet planned that

645
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,840
>> yeah this I think this actually is

646
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,159
finalized in June or July maybe and then

647
00:25:50,159 --> 00:25:52,320
some of this you know their their phase

648
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:57,430
three here at the school is 2029

649
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,840
» um so this you

650
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,720
I think that's what kind seeing that and the timing here motivated me to try

651
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,679
to get in and you know jump on the guard

652
00:26:07,679 --> 00:26:13,750
>> and in the near future

653
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,400
motivate to continue with the rest of it

654
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,640
too. Yeah. You know the gardens in

655
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,310
>> right

656
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,039
again. Yeah. And you know, now they're

657
00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:28,159
just remembering the uh I don't are

658
00:26:28,159 --> 00:26:30,720
chestnuts an allergen.

659
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,279
>> I wonder.

660
00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:37,200
>> Yeah. Yeah, they probably are. Tree nut

661
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,840
might not be a great choice.

662
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,120
>> I don't know. Like at what point are

663
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:43,279
they an allergen? Is it just the pollen

664
00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:44,880
or is it once they're actually shelled?

665
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,400
Because they're spitefuls.

666
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,159
>> So you're not That's the other thing.

667
00:26:48,159 --> 00:26:50,400
They are. Well, yeah, they might not be

668
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,720
a great choice for that would be

669
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,080
>> I like your idea, though.

670
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,000
>> Yeah. I'm just saying they're a bad

671
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,159
thing about across the street and not

672
00:27:00,159 --> 00:27:02,559
big like around that huge open.

673
00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:04,559
>> Oh, sure. Yeah. Above parking lot.

674
00:27:04,559 --> 00:27:05,840
>> Yeah.

675
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,120
You definitely want somewhere

676
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:09,120
where people aren't like walking a lot

677
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:13,200
or walking barefoot, you know,

678
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,120
>> like I mean they're beautiful, but Yeah.

679
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:16,080
There's fireballs.

680
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,840
>> Yeah. Yeah. They're really fun. That can

681
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,279
be fun to throw.

682
00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:20,640
>> Yeah, I was just thinking

683
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,679
>> hard to pick up a six-year-old wing or

684
00:27:23,679 --> 00:27:24,960
something.

685
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,320
>> Your leather work.

686
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,039
>> Can the trees go in like as soon as they

687
00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:31,440
we have them so that they can start like

688
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,520
getting established or is is like the

689
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,799
work have to sort of be done when the

690
00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:39,360
people are hired to do the work? Oh, I

691
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:42,080
mean I think as long as we're working

692
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,919
kind of,

693
00:27:43,919 --> 00:27:46,320
you know, following this guide, I think

694
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,840
we could do,

695
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,919
>> you know, whatever.

696
00:27:49,919 --> 00:27:50,799
>> Yep.

697
00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:54,000
>> What kind of work is involved in the

698
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,240
remaining the raspberries? Like I know

699
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,960
you looked at them. Is it like they have

700
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,799
been totally neglected or do they just

701
00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:05,520
need to get mowed down or bend or

702
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,200
>> you know there's oak probably that oak

703
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,360
trees a few of them that big around

704
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:12,640
growing up through it.

705
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,039
>> Okay.

706
00:28:13,039 --> 00:28:14,720
>> I think they I don't know if they've

707
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,559
been mowed. I don't know if they get

708
00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:17,919
mowed in the fall

709
00:28:17,919 --> 00:28:20,720
>> or if

710
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,039
I don't know. I when I saw them it would

711
00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:24,399
they were it was

712
00:28:24,399 --> 00:28:26,159
>> well they they could have raspberries on

713
00:28:26,159 --> 00:28:28,799
them then they you can treat a primacine

714
00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:31,520
like a floropane right and prune it and

715
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,799
you want some help in pruning that

716
00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:36,159
a little experience.

717
00:28:36,159 --> 00:28:38,159
>> Yeah. Yeah. No, we I would like to

718
00:28:38,159 --> 00:28:40,080
renovate it. Everything over there looks

719
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,080
like it needs fertilizer in a bad way

720
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,720
and the raspberries that they keep are

721
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,799
way too dense.

722
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:48,240
>> Okay.

723
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,480
>> It needs to be rotatilled. I think the

724
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,720
trellis needs work. Um, they felt like

725
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,559
Chrissy said that they thought it was

726
00:28:56,559 --> 00:28:58,880
very productive. It didn't look like it

727
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,399
could possibly be very productive to me.

728
00:29:02,399 --> 00:29:04,080
>> Well, with a lot of canes, it could have

729
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,679
a lot of berries on it, but

730
00:29:05,679 --> 00:29:08,000
>> might not be very efficient at size.

731
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,919
Yeah.

732
00:29:09,919 --> 00:29:13,440
>> Remedies if you want to set up a

733
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:18,559
>> a thing that remedy it. That'll be part of our work I think

734
00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:19,600
there in the spring.

735
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:19,840
>> Okay.

736
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,600
>> And it will go right through it.

737
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,600
>> Um I almost think it might be worth

738
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,080
starting a second row

739
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,559
>> and when it's productive

740
00:29:28,559 --> 00:29:30,159
>> then get rid of the old one.

741
00:29:30,159 --> 00:29:30,720
>> Yeah.

742
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,360
>> I I would suggest that as well.

743
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,159
>> Yeah.

744
00:29:36,159 --> 00:29:39,279
>> No. How many raspberry plants would be

745
00:29:39,279 --> 00:29:41,600
thinking of planting? How how long a

746
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:41,919
row?

747
00:29:41,919 --> 00:29:43,840
>> I think it's a 50ft row.

748
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,440
>> 25 plants. Yeah, that's easy. But, you

749
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,279
know, you could um you could pot those

750
00:29:51,279 --> 00:29:53,360
up in the classroom

751
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,320
and then plant them out there

752
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:02,320
>> as a so that they have some activity

753
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,080
them watching them start.

754
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,840
>> I'd say sometime

755
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,080
into May, 1 of June. So, you don't want

756
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,919
to too do you don't want to have have

757
00:30:13,919 --> 00:30:15,600
them too leggy, but

758
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:16,000
>> right,

759
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,159
>> you just want to have them established.

760
00:30:18,159 --> 00:30:24,480
Then you dig a hole or or the pot and

761
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:24,880
>> Yeah.

762
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,159
Maybe they can get them in the

763
00:30:26,159 --> 00:30:28,480
ground before they leave for the summer.

764
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,200
Yeah. Right.

765
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,799
>> Yeah. Start them at the end of the year

766
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:31,360
and then

767
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:32,799
>> come back in the fall.

768
00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:34,320
and they're

769
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:35,440
they've grown.

770
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:35,840
>> Yeah.

771
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,960
>> You know that.

772
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,720
>> Is there water there for someone?

773
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,320
There's actually really a pretty

774
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,919
convenient water source there.

775
00:30:41,919 --> 00:30:44,080
>> Okay. Was it a water?

776
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,480
>> Well, I was just thinking that um their

777
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,440
head maintainer um I have to chat with

778
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,159
him next week. Um he's he's been really

779
00:30:52,159 --> 00:30:54,480
supportive and I I think that this is

780
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,720
something that he would he would help in

781
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:57,279
that way.

782
00:30:57,279 --> 00:31:00,240
>> Oh, very plans.

783
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,640
So, yeah. Yeah. beginning. We could uh

784
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,399
say I know I got a ton of tea tape.

785
00:31:08,399 --> 00:31:10,159
We could we could put a roll of trickle

786
00:31:10,159 --> 00:31:10,799
right there.

787
00:31:10,799 --> 00:31:11,919
>> Yeah, that work.

788
00:31:11,919 --> 00:31:14,480
>> Throw a pressure reducer in there. Put a

789
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,440
network of trickle.

790
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,200
>> You can just check on it basically.

791
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,080
>> Yeah. Yeah.

792
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,159
>> We can have um I have a little bit of of

793
00:31:22,159 --> 00:31:24,399
money set aside for irrigation.

794
00:31:24,399 --> 00:31:24,799
>> Okay.

795
00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:28,799
>> So, if we get something

796
00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:29,279
>> Okay.

797
00:31:29,279 --> 00:31:30,799
>> We can put it out there.

798
00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:32,799
>> Okay. Well, I mean, it seems like ideas

799
00:31:32,799 --> 00:31:39,760
are kind of flowing. So, uh um is there a you said you're going to have

800
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,080
a planning meeting?

801
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,320
>> Yeah, I mean that we're just we thought

802
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,080
we could set a date for um like like I

803
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,159
said like a community work day and then

804
00:31:50,159 --> 00:31:52,720
we can do all the planning until then of

805
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,799
what we need and and the different jobs

806
00:31:54,799 --> 00:31:56,320
for folks.

807
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,200
>> Um yeah, but we'll meet more planning

808
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,000
meetings.

809
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,480
>> Okay. what exactly we're going to do.

810
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,120
>> Okay. I mean, I I I don't see why we

811
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,600
couldn't I don't think it would be, you

812
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,320
know, I wouldn't want to say we could do

813
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:15,679
eight 4x8 beds and promise Mike's going

814
00:32:15,679 --> 00:32:17,760
to bring all the material needed to fill

815
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,840
it. That That's all order.

816
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:20,799
>> Yeah. I know.

817
00:32:20,799 --> 00:32:23,679
>> But, you know, we could maybe there's

818
00:32:23,679 --> 00:32:26,720
some money to buy half of it or some of

819
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:31,360
it could be some used toing soil from me. made some parent material to

820
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:32,640
work with. But, you know, if

821
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:33,919
>> Yeah, we could probably do like 80

822
00:32:33,919 --> 00:32:35,679
yards. That's not

823
00:32:35,679 --> 00:32:37,519
>> between like Yeah, it's

824
00:32:37,519 --> 00:32:39,600
>> between the the all the Okay.

825
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,039
>> Yeah, we'll make it work.

826
00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:42,640
>> All right. All right.

827
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,200
>> Why don't I get you like a firm budget

828
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,679
of what we can we can work with too and

829
00:32:47,679 --> 00:32:49,760
then that'll

830
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:50,799
know what we got.

831
00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:52,720
>> Yeah. All right.

832
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,240
>> Um and then we can kind of plot out how

833
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,440
we're going to do this.

834
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,600
>> Okay.

835
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,080
All right, good. What if if you got me

836
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,640
that info and we kind of pulled some

837
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,279
ideas and kind of came up with uh maybe

838
00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:10,159
a proposal that we could give to you.

839
00:33:10,159 --> 00:33:10,720
>> Sure.

840
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,600
>> Okay. Or, you know, February or March or

841
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:14,640
something like that.

842
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,559
>> This is where she might be here, too.

843
00:33:16,559 --> 00:33:19,360
She can be like she she's got ideas,

844
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:20,480
too.

845
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,000
>> Yeah. And I don't want to put too much

846
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
on yellow either. So, we're

847
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,240
>> we're we're in it. We can be part of

848
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,679
that meeting.

849
00:33:27,679 --> 00:33:30,159
>> Okay. Well, but why don't you, me and

850
00:33:30,159 --> 00:33:32,000
Megan talk and then we'll just put a day

851
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,200
together to think about it.

852
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:34,960
>> That sounds good.

853
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,679
>> So, is it the four frontier towns that

854
00:33:37,679 --> 00:33:39,600
are having gardens?

855
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:40,159
>> Yeah.

856
00:33:40,159 --> 00:33:40,640
>> Okay.

857
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,240
>> And um Frontier Regional, too.

858
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,320
>> Four schools, elementary and then Yeah.

859
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:47,919
Wow. All schools.

860
00:33:47,919 --> 00:33:48,720
>> We're trying.

861
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,559
>> That's awesome.

862
00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:52,720
>> Have any of the other schools had guards

863
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,080
before or

864
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:59,120
>> Sure. Um, you know, I think the I think

865
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,039
there's a statistic on school gardens

866
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:03,840
that in the past they often cycle in

867
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,640
like three years um because they often

868
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,560
have like a champion or a couple people

869
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,919
in the community are like we need to do

870
00:34:09,919 --> 00:34:11,839
this and then it happens and then it

871
00:34:11,839 --> 00:34:13,599
kind of

872
00:34:13,599 --> 00:34:16,079
>> tears out. So what we're trying to do is

873
00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:19,280
set up gardens in a way that can be more

874
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,800
sustainable

875
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,560
>> um is so cool.

876
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,280
>> Right. I think Conway had I donated

877
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,040
something last year for Conway, so they

878
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,240
had a good Yeah.

879
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:29,839
>> Yeah, we're working on that one. That's

880
00:34:29,839 --> 00:34:31,280
going to be a big garden there.

881
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,040
>> Yeah, that's what I the impression I

882
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:33,679
got.

883
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:36,720
>> Yeah. Yeah, that's a big project. So,

884
00:34:36,720 --> 00:34:39,280
yeah, it's exciting.

885
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,520
>> Um there was something else I wanted to

886
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,679
run past. Um Frontier Regional is doing

887
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:49,679
a career fair March 25th.

888
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:52,720
Um, and we were wondering if if anyone

889
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:58,000
knows of um, farms who hire,

890
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,320
you know, seniors who have recently

891
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,960
graduated. We're looking to have some

892
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,359
folks come and be available for students

893
00:35:05,359 --> 00:35:06,720
to talk to about employment

894
00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:08,480
opportunities.

895
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,480
So, I don't know if anyone has ideas

896
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,240
about that. like full of leaves.

897
00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:18,720
>> I wish I would have one or two for like

898
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:19,760
a summer job.

899
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:20,079
>> Yeah,

900
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:21,599
>> it seems like

901
00:35:21,599 --> 00:35:22,079
>> um

902
00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:24,320
>> the truth.

903
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,400
>> Should be doing more of that. I always

904
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,520
have

905
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,560
>> help kind of on call. It's nice to have

906
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,320
like somebody who's just kind of like if

907
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,240
you need them, you know, a few hours to

908
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:35,599
do during the week.

909
00:35:35,599 --> 00:35:36,079
>> Yeah.

910

>> So, were you looking for a list of farms

918
00:35:59,599 --> 00:36:02,560
that might be looking to Okay.

919
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,760
>> Well, I think that that's

920
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,079
like that's one piece of it. And then if

921
00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:10,320
there's a farm that's like we're

922
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,760
recruiting

923
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,520
>> students then you could actually come to

924
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,040
the career fair

925
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,800
>> and talk to students and it could even

926
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,320
be like you know just talking about

927
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,640
agriculture as a career path.

928
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,760
>> Um we're going to have GCC Tony Briber

930
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:29,920
program there. Great.

931
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,839
>> Um but this would be more of a like

932
00:36:31,839 --> 00:36:36,720
directly into the field kind of um kind

933
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:39,440
of opportunity or guidance on that.

934
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,000
>> So the whole thing is there's so many

935
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,839
career path I mean this is this plant

936
00:36:43,839 --> 00:36:46,640

00:36:51,359 --> 00:36:53,440
>> not necessarily out there digging up the

941
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:54,640
weeds you know

942
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,320
>> I guess

>> tobacco for a summer

949
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:10,800
options, you know, like like I think

950
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,040
some kids like the path that they're on

951
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,079
is are those are those, you know, um,

952
00:37:16,079 --> 00:37:19,760

then for some kids,

954
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:27,520
>> they need something right away um to get into. So, we're just hoping to

955

956
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:32,480
I I don't know anybody who hires high

>> Okay. Okay.

1000
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,760
>> Do you know Penny and Dan Simmerski?

1001
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,280
They're in Sunderland, but that's what I

1002
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,760
picked asparagus for, you know, really.

1003
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,920
>> Yeah. And they do weeding as well, but

1004
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,280
my focus was asparagus.

1005
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,240
Yeah, but they have primarily a Vietnam

1006
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:13,760
crew or something. I think they

1007
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:14,720
>> do. They now

1008
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:15,200
>> they have

1009
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,720
>> I mean it's changed since I was in high

1010
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:17,920
school. I didn't know if they're still

1011
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,359
doing high schoolers.

1012
00:39:19,359 --> 00:39:20,960
>> Yeah,

1013
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,440
I I think that's what they're using now

1014
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,079
for their harvest because their harvest

1015
00:39:26,079 --> 00:39:27,280
starts May.

1016
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,200
>> Yeah, the kids are still

1017
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,720
>> Yeah, they were the weekend for

1018
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:32,480
>> and like Hadley, they don't give the day

1019
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,119
off for the kids anymore

1020
00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:38,960
or something to go pick asparagus.

1021
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,200
Well, John Lasel hires a lot of young

1022
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,680
kids for like summer Dalia season. I

1023
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,480
mean, he, you know, maybe throughout the

1024
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:53,030
season, too, but

1025
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,800
» I know his phone number off the top of

1026
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:55,520
my head.

1027
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,480

Um, right. That is right. So he would,

00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:08,800
you know, I don't know if he's looking

1033
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,880
for more people for next year, but it'd

1034
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,200
be in the list. So

1035
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,520
>> be a good resource for for career days

1036
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,520

after high school.

1042
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:27,839
>> Right. Right.

1043
00:40:27,839 --> 00:40:30,400
>> You need to do something and learn to do

1044
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:31,760
something. Some of them don't even know

1045
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,760
how to push a broom. So

1046
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,040
It's crazy.

1047
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,440

00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:35,280
unable to attend the interview. So um uh

1093
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,400
so and so I wanted to talk about any

1094
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,760
transition needs. Inventory's been kind

1095
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:47,280
enough to keep coming month after month. The municipal hiring

1096
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,000
process has been fast.

1097
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,240
So, um, and one thing that Tori did was

1098
00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:58,240
this folding pamphlet with all the farms

1099
00:42:58,240 --> 00:43:00,400
that wanted to be listed on town that

1100
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,400
was distributed, you know, at Gongkins

1101
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,400
in the library holding all those.

1102
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:04,720
>> Yeah.

1103
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:11,040
>> You know, well, a lot of them as well

1104
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,800
at time, but um, so, you know, that's

1105
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,319
one thing. I don't know

1106
00:43:18,319 --> 00:43:21,040
if Catherine is someone who's going to

1107
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,240
want to jump right into kind of managing

1108
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:27,119
that because it's it's I think how I

1109
00:43:27,119 --> 00:43:29,040
mean we kind of need to keep the

1110
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,040
information a little bit updated I

1111
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,359
guess. So it would be smart.

1112
00:43:33,359 --> 00:43:35,599
>> I was going to double whammy it when I

1113
00:43:35,599 --> 00:43:37,680
blast everybody about to say, "Hey, also

1114
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,359
if your information was changed, let us

1115
00:43:39,359 --> 00:43:41,200
know. We're putting together the farm

1116
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,800
pamphlet and then

1117
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,640
>> and maybe even attach the damp."

1118
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:45,920
>> Yeah. and be like, "If you want any

1119
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,200
changes,

1120
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:48,640
>> I want to include new work."

1121
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:53,040
>> Okay. All right. So, right there, that's the first key step

1122
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,359
>> and um we'll just tune Catherine into

1123
00:43:55,359 --> 00:43:58,000
that process. I was just thinking maybe

1124
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,000
a couple of us could kind of with

1125
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,400
Catherine at some point kind of review

1126
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,240
all the farms in town. We could just do

1127
00:44:04,240 --> 00:44:05,760
it at a meeting,

1128
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,359
>> I guess. And um

1129
00:44:07,359 --> 00:44:09,359
>> we can do a side meeting too with her so

1130
00:44:09,359 --> 00:44:10,880
she's familiar.

1131
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,000
>> Okay. Okay. All right. So maybe it just

1132
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,960
seems like we'll keep talking about that

1133
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,200
and what needs to happen. But

1134
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,640
>> yeah, does anyone here know how to use

1135
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,560
Canva?

1136
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,119
>> Design software completely free. All you

1137
00:44:25,119 --> 00:44:28,000
have to do is typically tap type right

1138
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,920
in. It's already a template

1139
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,040
>> and trainable.

1140
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,960
>> Okay. Because I guess that would be the

1141
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,400
only thing. But if she's in college, she

1142
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,720
knows how to use it. So

1143
00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:38,640
>> Okay. All right. Well, I guess we'll

1144
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,480
meet Catherine. You'll meet Catherine.

1145
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,680
>> Yeah. I don't know, but you're excited

1146
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:44,000
to be

1147
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,440
>> Is she local or

1148
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,520
>> I don't even know. I I I'm

1149
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:48,560
>> I mean it was

1150
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,400
>> we know nothing about this. I meant like

1151
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,359
>> absolutely nothing. But my understanding

1152
00:44:53,359 --> 00:44:56,720
is that they were ex very experienced

1153
00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:59,520
and may even have been an admin admin

1154
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,440
assistant at for some other municipality

1155
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:08,960
or in some way. But uh yeah, no, I had a

1156
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,040
truckload of produce and a driver tap

1157
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,839
out at 3:18 in the morning, I think it

1158
00:45:13,839 --> 00:45:16,000
was.

1159
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,560
>> I spent the day in Connecticut and

1160
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:24,240
that's us. But um so yeah, this will be new. I traded emails. We

1161
00:45:24,240 --> 00:45:29,119
seem, you know, ready to go. So

1162
00:45:29,119 --> 00:45:31,760
um so we will meet uh Katherine next

1163
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,640
week, next month rather. Um, and I guess

1164
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,800
that sort of, you know, covers the

1165
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,839
pamphlet enough. We'll just uh manage

1166
00:45:39,839 --> 00:45:43,520
that as it goes. Um, so we are going to

1167
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,160
change our meeting date. I think we all

1168
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,560
talked about that, but Mondays was kind

1169
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:54,150
of the consensus.

1170
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:58,960
» Monday, that would be February.

1171
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,079
Uh, first is a Sunday. That means the

1172
00:46:02,079 --> 00:46:05,359
8th is a Sunday. 9th 10th. Is that

1173
00:46:05,359 --> 00:46:06,880
right? February the 10th.

1174
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:07,520
>> 9th.

1175
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,440
February 9th.

1176
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:09,839
>> Right.

1177
00:46:09,839 --> 00:46:10,720
>> Oh, yeah. Monday.

1178
00:46:10,720 --> 00:46:11,359
>> Monday.

1179
00:46:11,359 --> 00:46:12,720
Right. Okay.

1180
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:15,040
>> February.

1181
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:16,560
>> Same time.

1182
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:17,920
>> Yeah.

1183
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,240
Um,

1184
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:23,440
can you pull up the Weightley pound

1185
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:28,160
meeting calendar and just see if like

1186
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,400
the second Monday of the month has got

1187
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,119
like if the building is already packed

1188
00:46:33,119 --> 00:46:35,760
out. That's the my only concern is that

1189
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,760
we'll just be like that's the Tuesday.

1190
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,680
>> Yeah. Oh, no. The the Monday rather.

1191
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:44,720
Um,

1192
00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:46,560
>> I can only see right now once we stop

1193
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,200
the meeting, I can check the other town.

1194
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,680
I can see the town of Wley doesn't have

1195
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,119
because there's two accounts. I can't

1196
00:46:53,119 --> 00:46:54,079
see one of them.

1197
00:46:54,079 --> 00:46:55,440
>> Okay.

1198
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,599
>> Cuz I don't want to lose this meeting.

1199
00:46:57,599 --> 00:46:59,680
>> My only concern is that the building

1200
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:06,960
will be full and we'll have to uh pick another another

1201
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,280
Monday, you know, the first or third or

1202
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,880
something like that. But let let's um

1203
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,640
Let me let me work on that. Let me just

1204
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,960
confirm the second

1205
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:21,839
um second Monday in February

1206
00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:24,400
are there will be meeting space

1207
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,480
available for us. But other than that,

1208
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,720
so let's just plan ahead.

1209
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:30,319
>> Sounds good.

1210
00:47:30,319 --> 00:47:32,319
And then the last thing we were going to

1211
00:47:32,319 --> 00:47:34,880
talk about here, I I want to, you know,

1212
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,680
this this group occasionally gets asked

1213
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:42,000
for an opinion about

1214
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,200
rules as they apply to farms in town,

1215
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,920
how farms inter interface with the rest

1216
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,200
of the town government and the town. And

1217
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:52,720
so I thought it would be kind of smart

1218
00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:56,960
to sort of look at things like what what

1219
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,560
let's let's you know we all kind of

1220
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,160
think we know what the right to farm

1221
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,319
bylaw is but let's really look at it.

1222
00:48:02,319 --> 00:48:04,079
Let's read it, you know, and I think

1223
00:48:04,079 --> 00:48:06,079
that's going to happen, you know, with

1224
00:48:06,079 --> 00:48:09,040
as we kind of explore the the sign that

1225
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,800
we're going to have made that Dave's

1226
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,160
made. Um, and there are, you know,

1227
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:18,960
zoning rules for retail farms that kind

1228
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,319
of interrupt the normal zoning rules in

1229
00:48:22,319 --> 00:48:25,040
town. And I think everybody knows a

1230
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,839
little bit about it and Mike is on the

1231
00:48:27,839 --> 00:48:30,640
plan the uh planning board and so has a

1232
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,520
front row seat for for any conversations

1233
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,440
about that kind of thing. So, what do

1234
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,440
you what do you know about it? Um, so

1235
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,119
there's been no formal complaining, but

1236
00:48:41,119 --> 00:48:44,480
there's been rumblings

1237
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,800
>> um of the former 5J Creamy, which is now

1238
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,680
Simmers, that basically since they've

1239
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,079
opened, every year they have continued

1240
00:48:54,079 --> 00:48:57,200
to scale down to where now they have no

1241
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:01,920
produce. It's just food. Um

1242
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:06,880
it's a it's not a gray area, but it's um

1243
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,280
can be a little confusing

1244
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,760
because they are technically a farm

1245
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:16,000
stand, which gives you a lot of leeway.

1246
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,160
Um,

1247
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,880
but you can't, you know, sell furniture,

1248
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:21,680
you know,

1249
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,599
>> and you're supposed to be selling your

1250
00:49:23,599 --> 00:49:25,680
products, but no one, the rules have

1251
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,520
never stated

1252
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,079
>> that you you can only sell what you grow

1253
00:49:30,079 --> 00:49:31,760
cuz that's not reasonable.

1254
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,640
>> Um, you know, like if a farmer grows

1255
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,640
whatever sweet corn and tomatoes, he's

1256
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,880
gonna buy peppers from his neighbor,

1257
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:43,839
etc., etc. Yeah. Um, so I think

1258
00:49:43,839 --> 00:49:46,400
apparently they have been u Brand was

1259
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,720
going to send me a letter that was sent

1260
00:49:48,720 --> 00:49:52,480
to Dimmerskis about this a year or so

1261
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,480
before I was on the planning work. So a

1262
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,319
year or so ago um

1263
00:49:56,319 --> 00:49:58,480
>> and it was sent by the way planning

1264
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,640
>> I believe so. Yeah. I didn't get the

1265
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,079
email so I'm not totally positive. Um

1266
00:50:04,079 --> 00:50:06,559
but again there's been no formal

1267
00:50:06,559 --> 00:50:08,160
complaint.

1268
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,200
the planning board does have some

1269
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,440
obligation to look out for these things

1270
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,880
in town. Um,

1271
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:17,520
>> yeah,

1272
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:21,520
>> my quick opinion on it is that if they

1273
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,319
showed any sign of just making an

1274
00:50:24,319 --> 00:50:26,720
attempt, it would probably just go away.

1275
00:50:26,720 --> 00:50:28,400
>> Um, I don't think anyone wants to see

1276
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,319
them get forced out or anything like

1277
00:50:30,319 --> 00:50:32,640
that. It's more of, you know, like when

1278
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,359
Jam first started there were pumpkins

1279
00:50:35,359 --> 00:50:36,720
and mums and, you know,

1280
00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:38,079
>> pick your own strawberries,

1281
00:50:38,079 --> 00:50:41,839
>> right? So, even if 90% of what they were

1282
00:50:41,839 --> 00:50:43,280
doing was selling hamburgers and hot

1283
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,839
dogs, they put on a good show. And I

1284
00:50:45,839 --> 00:50:46,800
think that's

1285
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,400
>> Yeah. I mean, they turned a lot of edge

1286
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:49,280
through there, too.

1287
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:50,640
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1288
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,160
>> So,

1289
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,599
um, that's kind of where it stands now.

1290
00:50:55,599 --> 00:50:57,119
Um,

1291
00:50:57,119 --> 00:50:59,040
I think the planning board is kind of

1292
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,079
looking for the egg um

1293
00:51:02,079 --> 00:51:04,400
to advise, which is what we're kind of

1294
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:05,280
here for, right?

1295
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:05,760
>> Yeah.

1296
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,079
>> To not just advise the selectman, but to

1297
00:51:08,079 --> 00:51:10,079
advise any other board in town.

1298
00:51:10,079 --> 00:51:14,240
>> Yeah. Right. Right. Um,

1299
00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:17,359
do you know if the weight bylaws that

1300
00:51:17,359 --> 00:51:20,720
allow so basically farm stands if you're

1301
00:51:20,720 --> 00:51:22,880
selling your own stuff, farm stands can

1302
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,920
kind of work out of a residential area.

1303
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:26,400
>> Correct.

1304
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:27,119
>> That's sort of

1305
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:29,599
>> a res I think it's zoned a residential,

1306
00:51:29,599 --> 00:51:30,000
right?

1307
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,680
>> Yeah. A redstone. So,

1308
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,880
um, and then it the lines get a little

1309
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,839
cloudy around how much of the stuff is

1310
00:51:39,839 --> 00:51:41,680
your home, too, right?

1311
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,680
>> Yeah. I think it's supposed to be the

1312
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,280
primary

1313
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,040
some type of wording

1314
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:48,240
>> 50%.

1315
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:48,640
>> Yeah.

1316
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,200
>> My my understanding was that it was like

1317
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:52,880
it had to be half.

1318
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,400
>> I don't know if And then it was like,

1319
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,119
well, half in dollars, half in volume. I

1320
00:51:57,119 --> 00:51:58,800
think you kind of have to just

1321
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,480
>> I don't think it's I don't think it's

1322
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,760
anything anyone is really trying to like

1323
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,880
No one's going to go in there and

1324
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,960
nail that number right now, you know?

1325
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,559
So, I think it's

1326
00:52:10,559 --> 00:52:11,520
>> Yeah.

1327
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:15,599
>> It was a it's it's a loose

1328
00:52:15,599 --> 00:52:18,240
loosely enforced term, you know. I don't

1329
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:19,760
really know how else to describe it.

1330
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,280
>> Yeah. Right. Right. It's um

1331
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,359
self uh self enforcing or something. So,

1332
00:52:27,359 --> 00:52:29,839
>> right. So, just regulating.

1333
00:52:29,839 --> 00:52:31,839
>> Yeah. Self-regulating self, you know,

1334
00:52:31,839 --> 00:52:34,800
just it's not in the honor system, but

1335
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,680
it's it's just

1336
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,280
>> Yeah. I think if you're selling

1337
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:40,880
vegetables and you're a farm, I mean,

1338
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,720
you're or you're selling milk and you

1339
00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:44,559
milk cows, I mean, if you put two and

1340
00:52:44,559 --> 00:52:46,079
two together, it's pretty simple.

1341
00:52:46,079 --> 00:52:48,800
>> Yeah. I mean, you know what I was kind

1342
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:50,720
of thinking about it is like I think

1343
00:52:50,720 --> 00:52:52,640
maybe when some of these rules were

1344
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,440
created these these exceptions to let

1345
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,680
you know things were kind of a little

1346
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,079
bit different. It's not like this

1347
00:53:00,079 --> 00:53:03,200
>> family grows plenty of

1348
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,160
>> vegetables. It's just not there

1349
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:07,920
>> and it's not stuff that would lend

1350
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:09,520
itself to be sold

1351
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,400
>> to retail farms. Correct. You know%

1352
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:14,800
>> um so it is a farm family. They're

1353
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,000
selling mostly ice cream which is a farm

1354
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,839
product, right? I mean,

1355
00:53:19,839 --> 00:53:21,280
>> you know, they don't have milk built the

1356
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,040
cows themselves. But

1357
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:23,839
>> yeah,

1358
00:53:23,839 --> 00:53:28,400
>> you know, I mean, it it's not like,

1359
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,480
you know, someone who wasn't farming

1360
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,559
opened an ice cream place, right,

1361
00:53:32,559 --> 00:53:34,319
>> and

1362
00:53:34,319 --> 00:53:36,079
was going to have sell vegetables that

1363
00:53:36,079 --> 00:53:37,760
they bought from area farms and then

1364
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,520
kind of never did that part and really

1365
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,359
only just had the ice cream place. This

1366
00:53:41,359 --> 00:53:45,520
is a family that grows 800 acres of of

1367
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:46,400
Yeah. Yeah.

1368
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,680
>> And um

1369
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,079
>> but it's basically the problem with it

1370
00:53:50,079 --> 00:53:51,680
is that they're basically running a

1371
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,920
restaurant saying it's a farm stand.

1372
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,200
>> That's the problem.

1373
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,359
>> And and then Well, that's actually not

1374
00:53:57,359 --> 00:53:58,640
the problem. The problem is that they're

1375
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:00,319
in a they're doing this in a place

1376
00:54:00,319 --> 00:54:03,520
that's owned properly for that. If it

1377
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,839
was commercial, no problem.

1378
00:54:05,839 --> 00:54:07,359
>> Well, they have a sign out there

1379
00:54:07,359 --> 00:54:09,359
advertising Barnes,

1380
00:54:09,359 --> 00:54:10,559
>> right?

1381
00:54:10,559 --> 00:54:13,520
if I should bring in back

1382
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,880
>> and I think some of the other issues and

1383
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,920
I don't have this is again just an

1384
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:24,160
opinion. It seems to me that when 5J

1385
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,200
Creamy opened there

1386
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,280
no one really seems to know whether that

1387
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,920
was even done legally or you know what I

1388
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,079
mean? I think it was kind of just done

1389
00:54:34,079 --> 00:54:36,960
and forgiveness was asked after. So is

1390
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:38,640
there something grandfathered in? is

1391
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,119
there and there's no none of that is

1392
00:54:41,119 --> 00:54:42,960
spelled right out

1393
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,680
>> in plain English for us to know you know

1394
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,000
and then simmers buying something it's

1395
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,119
not like they started it so that adds to

1396
00:54:51,119 --> 00:54:53,119
the confusion

1397
00:54:53,119 --> 00:54:55,599
>> um and I think what the planning board

1398
00:54:55,599 --> 00:54:59,119
is kind of asking from us is should the

1399
00:54:59,119 --> 00:55:02,880
regulation be changed should it you know

1400
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:07,119
>> well that yeah right that's kind of a

1401
00:55:07,119 --> 00:55:10,160
funny one would be, you know,

1402
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,559
>> what is what is at stake like them

1403
00:55:12,559 --> 00:55:15,200
paying more for the taxes of the land

1404
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:16,240
that it's on?

1405
00:55:16,240 --> 00:55:19,680
>> No, they would. So, I mean, if they're basically in violation, they

1406
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,200
would be shut they would be ordered to

1407
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:21,920
shut down

1408
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:25,359
>> shut down because it is specific zone is

1409
00:55:25,359 --> 00:55:26,640
not for

1410
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,280
>> because they're not selling any good.

1411
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:33,280
>> Or could they be uh could the land be

1412
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:34,880
>> commercial for them? Because I think a

1413
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,440
lot of people would miss that place in

1414
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:38,079
town.

1415
00:55:38,079 --> 00:55:41,119
>> 100%. Yeah. I That's why I think like if

1416
00:55:41,119 --> 00:55:44,000
they just make an attempt, it's just the

1417
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,680
problem's just going to wash out.

1418
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,680
>> Yeah. Going to go away. But, you know,

1419
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,760
they have a spot right next to where the

1420
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,319
ice cream window is that was set up. You

1421
00:55:52,319 --> 00:55:55,599
know, when it first became simmers,

1422
00:55:55,599 --> 00:55:57,680
young Teddy was selling vegetables

1423
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,040
there. There was stuff in there,

1424
00:55:59,040 --> 00:55:59,520
>> right?

1425
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,280
>> And so, I think that just

1426
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,200
>> does someone talk to them about this?

1427
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,280
Yes, they've been

1428
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:06,640
Yeah. and said that, you know, it was

1429
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,559
going to get remedied and

1430
00:56:08,559 --> 00:56:09,760
>> so,

1431
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:11,520
>> but you also can't just snap your, you

1432
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:12,480
know, Sure.

1433
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,640
>> You know, maybe this spring all of a

1434
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:15,760
sudden there's going to be a whole bunch

1435
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,200
of stuff there that just needed to get

1436
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,440
organized. I have no idea.

1437
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:20,720
>> Um, but

1438
00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:22,640
>> cuz Teddy has over his stand and

1439
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:24,960
suddenly he's got the the flowers and

1440
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:25,440
>> Yep.

1441
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:26,319
>> and all that.

1442
00:56:26,319 --> 00:56:27,520
>> Yep. Exactly.

1443
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,200
>> Right.

1444
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,440
>> They want to do it. It could be done.

1445
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,520
>> Yeah. would and even if it's just a

1446
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,200
quarter of what he's doing over there,

1447
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,200
you could

1448
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,440
>> like his farm stand over there is a

1449
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,000
perfect example of what is supposed to

1450
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:43,599
be going on.

1451
00:56:43,599 --> 00:56:45,119
>> You know, he sells ice cream and he

1452
00:56:45,119 --> 00:56:47,520
sells Polish food, but he sells flowers

1453
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,319
and all kinds of vegetables there.

1454
00:56:50,319 --> 00:56:52,000
>> Yeah. Exactly. Yep.

1455
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:52,960
>> Right. Right. Right.

1456
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:53,359
>> Yeah.

1457
00:56:53,359 --> 00:56:54,720
Yeah. I mean, I think when they

1458
00:56:54,720 --> 00:56:57,680
kind of made the exception, the the

1459
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,839
image was all these small farm families

1460
00:57:01,839 --> 00:57:03,920
would sell

1461
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:05,440
whatever they grew on the side of the

1462
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:06,960
road. You know, it was like there used

1463
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,720
to be signs of, you know, Lennox had

1464
00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:10,960
beets, you know, myis had potatoes, you

1465
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:12,000
know,

1466
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,280
>> like uh, you know, John John or uh Yeah.

1467
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,440
John Bashesky's doing. He put up

1468
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:18,960
>> the roadside. Yeah.

1469
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:19,599
>> You know,

1470
00:57:19,599 --> 00:57:21,920
>> the Home Depot shed and fill the corner.

1471
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:22,960
>> Exactly. He's called it.

1472
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,000
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,

1473
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,319
>> that's exactly right. And that that's

1474
00:57:26,319 --> 00:57:28,960
was the intention of the I think the

1475
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,480
that was the vision when

1476
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:31,119
>> right

1477
00:57:31,119 --> 00:57:33,119
>> of how what it would look like, you

1478
00:57:33,119 --> 00:57:35,200
know, but agriculture has changed. There

1479
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,160
aren't as many farms, people specialize

1480
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:39,200
and

1481
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:40,000
>> y

1482
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,079
>> um I've also seen an increase in

1483
00:57:42,079 --> 00:57:44,079
non-farmers

1484
00:57:44,079 --> 00:57:47,440
opening farm stands and buying in

1485
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,559
everything. Okay. You provide stuff to a

1486
00:57:50,559 --> 00:57:52,000
lot of different farm stands that are

1487
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:53,599
non-farmers that are just buying

1488
00:57:53,599 --> 00:57:56,559
everything in just to resell. I just not

1489
00:57:56,559 --> 00:57:59,599
in weight, but I'm curious how their

1490
00:57:59,599 --> 00:58:02,559
zoning deals with that. You know,

1491
00:58:02,559 --> 00:58:04,240
technically they're a farm stand, but

1492
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,599
they don't grow any of it themselves.

1493
00:58:07,599 --> 00:58:12,240
So, they're more like a gross grosser or

1494
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,000
you know, I don't know. I don't know how

1495
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:15,599
they retail store.

1496
00:58:15,599 --> 00:58:17,839
>> Yeah.

1497
00:58:17,839 --> 00:58:19,280
I know that's for a different

1498
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,040
conversation, but it's interesting.

1499
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:22,960
>> Yeah. Right.

1500
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,040
>> We need it.

1501
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:28,160
>> I think for the moment send them kind of

1502
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,280
a reminder that yet the new year is

1503
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,000
coming and what what are what are your

1504
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,680
plans or or being or concerned about

1505
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,040
this

1506
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:42,400
>> or I'm think notified in writing. I

1507
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:43,119
think it's a good idea.

1508
00:58:43,119 --> 00:58:44,640
>> I think the planning board has

1509
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,480
communicated though.

1510
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,640
>> Yeah. I I believe let me just look at

1511
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:49,520
Mike.

1512
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,880
>> I think all I wanted Mike to discuss

1513
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:57,119
this only so that we were aware of the

1514
00:58:57,119 --> 00:58:58,559
issue

1515
00:58:58,559 --> 00:59:00,880
>> I guess and to kind of get our minds

1516
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:04,000
around what the rules are.

1517
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,599
Um

1518
00:59:05,599 --> 00:59:08,640
I think what has happened is that the

1519
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,440
nature of farms and agriculture has

1520
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,559
changed since some of these exceptions

1521
00:59:14,559 --> 00:59:16,799
were made. And I think they're, you

1522
00:59:16,799 --> 00:59:20,559
know, this is a farming family.

1523
00:59:20,559 --> 00:59:22,559
Yeah. They should they should put on a

1524
00:59:22,559 --> 00:59:25,680
retail show there. Um

1525
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:27,359
and uh make sure they take a lot of

1526
00:59:27,359 --> 00:59:28,880
pictures.

1527
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:33,440
Yeah. So they were uh they were

1528
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,319
given a letter in the 4th of January

1529
00:59:36,319 --> 00:59:39,119
2024 from the plan from the Wavely

1530
00:59:39,119 --> 00:59:42,400
Planning Board basically saying kind of

1531
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,040
reviewing the rules. I do have it here.

1532
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,200
And it's 20. They have to grow 25% of

1533
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,119
what they sell and then 50% of the

1534
00:59:49,119 --> 00:59:51,359
remaining has to come from Massachusetts

1535
00:59:51,359 --> 00:59:53,760
farms. Again, I think it's a pretty

1536
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,160
loose like no one's going to check any

1537
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,720
of this. It's more of

1538
00:59:58,720 --> 00:59:59,040
>> Yeah.

1539
00:59:59,040 --> 00:59:59,680
>> You know,

1540
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,440
>> it's more of the display really.

1541
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:01,760
>> Yeah.

1542
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,440
I mean, yeah. You're making an

1543
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:06,160
attempt to Yeah. You could argue like

1544
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,319
you said, Doug, like it's ice cream, you

1545
01:00:08,319 --> 01:00:10,559
know, it's hamburgers, I grow beef, it's

1546
01:00:10,559 --> 01:00:12,079
hot dog, you know, everything comes from

1547
01:00:12,079 --> 01:00:14,559
somewhere. But again, that was not like

1548
01:00:14,559 --> 01:00:15,599
the vision.

1549
01:00:15,599 --> 01:00:15,920
>> Yeah.

1550
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:16,880
>> Of the

1551
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,119
>> some of it too is the watering down of

1552
01:00:19,119 --> 01:00:21,839
like what is a farm stand, you know? Is

1553
01:00:21,839 --> 01:00:24,160
a farm stand just hamburgers and hot

1554
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,920
dogs or is it produce that's grown in

1555
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,000
the local area? You know, I mean

1556
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,119
>> I mean in a way that road

1557
01:00:33,119 --> 01:00:36,319
I mean does weight need another retail

1558
01:00:36,319 --> 01:00:39,680
farm? Sure. Yeah. There's lots.

1559
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:41,440
>> Yeah. It's just it's kind of like

1560
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:42,960
>> the other ones around are probably glad

1561
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,520
that they're you know people come for

1562
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,599
the ocean come somewhere else for the

1563
01:00:47,599 --> 01:00:51,040
sweet corn on the way home you know um

1564
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:52,880
>> you know that's that's the other part of

1565
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,559
it it's not you know it's not Lunenburg

1566
01:00:56,559 --> 01:00:59,200
or you know it's not Malboro where

1567
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:00,960
there's 40,000 people

1568
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:02,000
>> right yeah

1569
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,119
>> right

1570
01:01:03,119 --> 01:01:05,839
>> so it would be a shame to lose that if

1571
01:01:05,839 --> 01:01:08,799
it was just a zoning issue

1572
01:01:08,799 --> 01:01:11,280
I think a lot of people to utilize that

1573
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,119
ice cream stand.

1574
01:01:13,119 --> 01:01:15,359
>> Yeah. And I think that the idea is to to

1575
01:01:15,359 --> 01:01:17,280
not have that happen like

1576
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:18,880
>> right nobody wants

1577
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,680
>> right everybody wants it to exist. It

1578
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,440
has to just exist within the framework

1579
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:27,040
and the rules that are out there. And

1580
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,440
>> um so we have a planning board meeting

1581
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,920
at the end of this month. We haven't

1582
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:33,680
discussed this a lot because we've been

1583
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,359
dealing with the best and everything um

1584
01:01:37,359 --> 01:01:39,520
the battery storage stuff. So we are

1585
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:41,359
going to discuss it. That's the plan.

1586
01:01:41,359 --> 01:01:41,920
>> Mhm.

1587
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:45,200
>> Um and then Brandt may want to present

1588
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:47,280
something to the adcom on our next

1589
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,440
meeting next month.

1590
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,240
>> Um with kind of, you know, what does

1591
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,079
what do what does the planning board

1592
01:01:54,079 --> 01:01:57,119
actually want from a comp?

1593
01:01:57,119 --> 01:01:57,520
>> Yeah.

1594
01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:58,640
>> You know,

1595
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,040
>> are they ready for us to actually answer

1596
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:02,160
particular questions?

1597
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,000
>> Right. So, I brought it up tonight so

1598
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,480
that everybody can kind of just ponder

1599
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,880
on it and

1600
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,520
>> um and this is a good example of what

1601
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:15,599
the acom does in town. You know, we may

1602
01:02:15,599 --> 01:02:20,799
be able to steer, you know, u the the

1603
01:02:20,799 --> 01:02:23,520
planning board to accommodate farm

1604
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,400
stands with different language,

1605
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:31,440
>> you know, and participating in that is why it's good to have an agar.

1606
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:32,960
>> Great. So

1607
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:34,960
>> yeah. So hopefully next meeting we will

1608
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,200
have like I'll be able to come in with

1609
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,920
something printed out of the exact part

1610
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:41,760
of the bylaw that we need to be

1611
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:43,440
concerned with because as you can

1612
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,839
imagine it's written in

1613
01:02:45,839 --> 01:02:49,750
>> practical gibberish.

1614
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:51,760
» Yeah. We need to like pull out what what

1615
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:53,440
actually matters to what we're talking

1616
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:54,480
about. That's

1617
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:55,200
>> Yeah.

1618
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:56,799
>> Then I'm not I haven't been doing this

1619
01:02:56,799 --> 01:02:59,280
long enough to

1620
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,319
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm very curious as to

1621
01:03:02,319 --> 01:03:04,559
when whenever the whatever the language

1622
01:03:04,559 --> 01:03:06,799
is, whenever it was adopted,

1623
01:03:06,799 --> 01:03:08,799
>> you know, how how far back are we

1624
01:03:08,799 --> 01:03:09,599
talking?

1625
01:03:09,599 --> 01:03:10,559
>> Yeah.

1626
01:03:10,559 --> 01:03:12,480
um

1627
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,520
>> who's the enforcer of say they didn't

1628
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:17,280
make any changes and they just kind of

1629
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,599
kept on doing what they're doing and

1630
01:03:19,599 --> 01:03:21,680
>> so if their full complaint

1631
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:25,680
>> if a um like anyone could make a formal

1632
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:26,160
complaint

1633
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:26,960
>> anyone in town

1634
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,160
>> the the building inspector would then

1635
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,680
>> go and shut them down basically I see

1636
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:34,880
>> make it official

1637
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:35,520
>> y

1638
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,549
>> okay

1639
01:03:38,559 --> 01:03:39,839
have to get permits

1640
01:03:39,839 --> 01:03:43,359
Right. From the town and kind of why

1641
01:03:43,359 --> 01:03:46,240
would anybody make a complaint?

1642
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,240
>> Yeah, that's there hasn't been a Well,

1643
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:48,720
like

1644
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:50,319
>> you said there's some rumbling or

1645
01:03:50,319 --> 01:03:50,720
something.

1646
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:52,319
>> Yeah, there's apparently there was some

1647
01:03:52,319 --> 01:03:54,000
I think there was a select board member

1648
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,640
or something along those lines. Someone

1649
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:57,680
a town official

1650
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:01,359
>> doesn't eat ice cream drove by and doing

1651
01:04:01,359 --> 01:04:01,760
business.

1652
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:03,119
>> Yeah. Well, I just think it was more

1653
01:04:03,119 --> 01:04:04,480
like, you know, hey, I don't see

1654
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,079
anything there anymore. Like what's

1655
01:04:06,079 --> 01:04:08,000
going on? Well, I mean,

1656
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,920
>> and there is some like, you know, like

1657
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:11,599
the planning board, like you have a

1658
01:04:11,599 --> 01:04:14,079
moral obligation to

1659
01:04:14,079 --> 01:04:18,240
enforce the laws that you came up with.

1660
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:20,319
>> I think that's the way it should be.

1661
01:04:20,319 --> 01:04:21,359
>> Right. Right.

1662
01:04:21,359 --> 01:04:23,520
>> Right. Not ignore the elephant in the

1663
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:24,240
room.

1664
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,920
>> Exactly. And it's that's I think it was

1665
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:29,359
again like I've only been on the plane

1666
01:04:29,359 --> 01:04:31,520
board since the summer. So, but I

1667
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,599
believe it's been tried they tried to

1668
01:04:33,599 --> 01:04:37,200
deal with this already a couple times

1669
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,440
behind the behind closed doors or under

1670
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:42,000
the radar whatever and it hasn't seemed

1671
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:43,680
to get anywhere yet. So,

1672
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:45,920
>> right this in general or that specific

1673
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:47,520
>> this this problem.

1674
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:52,230
>> Yeah,

1675
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,960
» right. Yeah. Tough one.

1676
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,039
>> Yeah.

1677
01:04:57,039 --> 01:05:00,240
>> Well, it is what it is, you know. It is.

1678
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:04,390
Yeah. And so

1679
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,400
they

1680
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:09,520
take steps to remedy it or not, right?

1681
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:10,880
It's that simple.

1682
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:11,520
>> Yeah.

1683
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,520
>> Mike, do you know if they responded to

1684
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,440
that letter at all? I don't believe they

1685
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:16,240
did.

1686
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:17,760
>> No. Well, that's

1687
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:19,760
>> No, I

1688
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:20,640
sort of thing.

1689
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:21,680
>> Yeah.

1690
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:27,029
None of them live in way.

1691
01:05:27,039 --> 01:05:31,349
Yeah.

1692
01:05:31,359 --> 01:05:34,319
All right. Well, I guess we should Yeah,

1693
01:05:34,319 --> 01:05:36,240
we'll just continue the discussion next

1694
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,160
month and

1695
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,799
take it from there. Um, all right. Well,

1696
01:05:40,799 --> 01:05:43,039
I guess unless we had anything else.

1697
01:05:43,039 --> 01:05:45,520
>> Uh, the ethics.

1698
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:47,599
>> Yes.

1699
01:05:47,599 --> 01:05:48,880
>> Was it ethics, right?

1700
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:50,079
>> I think it was ethics.

1701
01:05:50,079 --> 01:05:52,559
>> Yes. So, did you all get an email?

1702
01:05:52,559 --> 01:05:53,359
>> Yes.

1703
01:05:53,359 --> 01:05:55,280
>> Okay. I thought I got an email because

1704
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:58,720
of the garden committee.

1705
01:05:58,720 --> 01:05:59,680
>> You may have.

1706
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:00,000
>> Yeah.

1707
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,559
>> But my understanding is that I'm still

1708
01:06:02,559 --> 01:06:05,440
covered under the one that I did last

1709
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:06,559
year.

1710
01:06:06,559 --> 01:06:09,039
>> One of them take you have to update it

1711
01:06:09,039 --> 01:06:11,520
every every year. It'll take you 10

1712
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:12,319
minutes.

1713
01:06:12,319 --> 01:06:14,000
>> Okay. The one I keep getting email says

1714
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,079
it'll take an hour, which is fine.

1715
01:06:16,079 --> 01:06:17,200
>> Well, that's the one you have to do

1716
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:18,160
every two years.

1717
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,480
>> Yeah. But is that for but does that

1718
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,640
cover me for every committee or is that

1719
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,880
I do one for each?

1720
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,440
>> It looked like the same thing.

1721
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:31,839
>> I think once you create your account

1722
01:06:31,839 --> 01:06:33,760
>> if you

1723
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,240
are get on another committee and you're

1724
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:37,520
appointed it would it should

1725
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,000
automatically just exempt you think if

1726
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:40,720
you're

1727
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:42,400
>> updated. Mine wasn't doing

1728
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:44,319
>> try to get into my account and look at

1729
01:06:44,319 --> 01:06:44,960
it.

1730
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,520
>> Yeah, I had to reset my password. Yeah,

1731
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:50,720
that's what I want to hear.

1732
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:52,000
>> I want to say I

1733
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,960
>> Oh, yeah. So, um, if you need help

1734
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:56,720
complying with that ethics stuff, I'm

1735
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:57,680
sure you'll come in.

1736
01:06:57,680 --> 01:06:59,760
>> This is the conflict of interest.

1737
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:00,640
>> Yeah. Yes.

1738
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,599
>> Okay. So, I do I did get an email saying

1739
01:07:03,599 --> 01:07:05,039
you need it. So, it must be the

1740
01:07:05,039 --> 01:07:06,799
10-minute one. I don't think I ever did

1741
01:07:06,799 --> 01:07:08,559
a 10-minute one, to be honest. So,

1742
01:07:08,559 --> 01:07:10,400
>> Well, because you can do it in like 10

1743
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:11,359
seconds if you

1744
01:07:11,359 --> 01:07:13,680
>> Oh, okay.

1745
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,680
>> Yeah. Yeah, I'll try to

1746
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,160
>> I'll take you 10 minutes to read it.

1747
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:21,599
It'll take you 10 seconds to do it.

1748
01:07:21,599 --> 01:07:23,440
It's all pretty straightforward.

1749
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,319
>> Yeah, I mean it's not a it might be

1750
01:07:26,319 --> 01:07:28,799
worth 10 minutes of your time. Not a bad

1751
01:07:28,799 --> 01:07:32,400
thing to review, but um All right. Well,

1752
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,720
I guess I'll move to ajourn. Move to

1753
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,000
adjourn. All right. At 8 or whatever it

1754
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:38,559
is

1755
01:07:38,559 --> 01:07:43,680
>> 71. Perfect. Right.

1756
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:46,400
All right.
