[0:40] an abatement from Southwest, excuse me, South Parish Road co-op and property was changed

[0:49] to a park tenant and the other bill was never received by the park owners.

[0:54] Basically wibbing the interest.

[0:56] Yeah.

[1:00] The emotion on that?

[1:01] Yeah.

[2:44] Aye.

[2:45] Opposed?

[2:46] 3-0.

[2:59] Financial folder.

[3:02] Ricky is asking that because on July 1st, 2026, the federal

[3:06] government changed the gas mileage to 76 cents per mile.

[3:11] The current mileage rate for the town of Winchester is 72.5 cents.

[3:17] It's a request to see if the board would like to increase the rate to 76 per mile to match the federal government

[3:23] rates.

[3:39] Any motion on this?

[3:41] Myelage.

[3:41] On the marriage.

[3:42] Change in the rate to 76 cents from 72.5.

[3:47] 72.5?

[3:48] So put it up to the federal rate.

[3:53] I'll make a motion to approve that.

[3:56] There's a second.

[3:58] I'll second.

[4:00] I was just going to say, yeah.

[4:01] All those in favor say aye.

[4:06] Opposed, no, all right, motion carries.

[4:15] Now, letter from the Trustee of Trust Funds to withdraw $1,818.31 to SBE Associates

[4:24] from the beach ramp capital reserve funds for engineering fees.

[4:42] We just paid him one here about two months ago.

[4:46] This one is from August 3rd.

[4:49] Okay.

[4:50] Yeah, it's a new bill.

[4:51] Yeah.

[4:55] All those in favor say aye.

[4:57] Aye.

[4:58] Post.

[4:59] Motion carries.

[5:09] Dan.

[5:10] Do you want to come up?

[5:11] We've

[5:31] got plenty of wood road just about completed.

[5:35] We just got to fill in the driveways with some gravel.

[5:39] And then obviously coming off the dirt patch in the pavement.

[5:42] There's a little bump there. We got to fill that in.

[5:45] And that road's completed other than backing up the pavement,

[5:48] which will always wait a couple of weeks for it to settle

[5:51] before we drive the dump trucks down the edge and put it in.

[5:54] If you get started on the Scotland Road today,

[5:57] He made it to the top, coming pretty much from

[6:03] Trevor's house, he's old, but...

[6:05] Chris Thompson himself.

[6:06] Yeah.

[6:07] Chris Thompson's yet.

[6:09] So, tomorrow, when we forget him, probably four hours without that all done.

[6:12] Then we'll jump on, put in Hill, put a base down.

[6:16] We're gonna put three borders base down on that.

[6:18] He's got a big roll over there, push it down in.

[6:22] It should be good for the winner.

[6:24] Next year, obviously, because he got log trucks.

[6:28] He said things have been going bad for him so he can't give us a date when he's going to be done.

[6:34] So instead of putting base and top on and having them back and forth,

[6:37] he said probably a little week.

[6:40] So it should be that bad.

[6:45] The big one is seminary.

[7:03] Do you have a time frame when you think you're going to do that one next week?

[7:06] Is that the goal?

[7:08] Yeah, Rick's got some water projects that he's going to do on Monday.

[7:12] And upon top of Maple Street, there's a section that's been the asphalt's gone.

[7:19] So it's just right down the dirt, dirt's running down the road.

[7:22] So we're going to come in and we're going to do it from the top, down that one lane to the

[7:27] manhole cover.

[7:29] Get that solicit nice and smooth down, and down to very bottoms and out of the spot that

[7:33] he's going to just put that in.

[7:36] So that way there we don't have to, that's why we decided to make a little chapel, we go out quicker, and then so next we get that, and hoping Tuesday we can be on, hold him still, do that from the dirt down to the cemetery,

[7:54] we can go from there, we have a few papaloses, skim over the top of the nose, and then I should take care of that room for a while, make it last a little longer.

[8:08] How you doing? How far it's out there? You're good?

[8:13] Okay.

[8:18] Hensdale's actually let us use their 10-wheeler. He came today. He's coming again tomorrow.

[8:25] And next week Bobby told me if I need him for a couple days or whatever I need him for, go ahead.

[8:30] When we do some an area, when we do some an area on the whole of Northfield,

[8:36] and see if they can let us borrow a truck too. Tommy's usually really good about it.

[8:40] He said this week here he probably couldn't do it because he's doing a water thing for himself, so always trucking guys were busy.

[8:49] Nice to have some guys that will help us out.

[8:53] Yeah, it's 10-wheeler goes a long way.

[8:59] Anything else?

[9:01] It's blowing up.

[9:02] Is there any more questions?

[9:08] You good Jack?

[9:09] You good Jack?

[9:11] Good. Thanks Dan.

[9:12] Good.

[9:12] Thank you guys.

[9:17] I don't know if

[9:23] there's any questions or I'm

[9:29] going to be back tomorrow there should be

[9:33] there's a completion there's been some investigation about some of the paving whether it's

[9:39] wide enough or not our engineers are taking care of that whether they're on the board

[9:43] or not I guess the feeling is they don't think they are I know there's was set on engine

[9:47] in the corner and how much so I don't work.

[9:50] The engineers are trying to weed that all out.

[9:52] And there's a little bit of an issue going from straight up

[9:56] from all Westport Road onto Woodard Ave.

[9:59] Some of the dispense was scraping going on.

[10:01] So if they can resolve it and Dan and I will look into what,

[10:06] I don't know if Dan's gonna have someone look at it anyways,

[10:08] if we can figure out before the top goes on.

[10:11] So that's just sort of what knows it.

[10:12] We're aware of that in some of the limits,

[10:15] they're not quite white enough,

[10:16] Especially at the intersection, I guess the rest of the road, I think the end would say it was my past, but the intersection does have a couple of corners that needed more.

[10:25] They definitely got shorted from what was there before, so when the trucks are turned and they aren't picking up dirt, they're getting off the asphalt.

[10:33] But as far as I know, they should start tomorrow and they should be there till the jobs finish, as I was told today.

[10:40] It looks like sewer plant, that job, they're asking to suspend the work for a while because

[10:47] they're just, again, having problems, you know, getting everything together.

[10:52] Obviously, we did the change order last week, so that creates some more investigation

[10:58] and contract as they get involved and materially after order, and such as like the electrical

[11:04] shed, I think I was told that's four to six weeks out.

[11:07] So now we've approved that they have to order it, switch gear, for the electric reshed should be here in September also.

[11:15] So then after that, we're going to be able to get public services, now they're going to go back, but public service is going to want to hope to power up.

[11:23] I believe they're going to want the switching gear and everything connected before they put in a new one or an AMP service.

[11:30] So those are just a couple of things that are running against right now.

[11:34] The coding in the tanks, too, they're, they still haven't got that approved.

[11:37] So they could be doing that now, but that's still a lot of proofs.

[11:40] So I'm not quite sure where we're at, but those answers might be, you might get those questions answered

[11:45] tomorrow and our monthly meeting in person.

[11:47] So hopefully we can resolve that, but it just sort of just looks a lot of the, what's going

[11:53] on for stuff that they're trying to get.

[11:55] They just can't get it quick enough to put everything together to get this smooth and

[11:59] faster, so that's what we're being told, but those two change orders will help out, but

[12:04] even that, like I said, even those are going to take some time from the order, order all

[12:09] the materials.

[12:09] They get order some materials, even the state hasn't signed off on it yet, but they get order

[12:14] some things.

[12:15] They've already ordered my editor out without the state signing off, and the board signed

[12:19] off, and I assume the state will be all right, whether they've got an idea of what's going

[12:24] on, or just they haven't signed a paperwork yet, so.

[12:38] Just Rick kind of hit on it, but we have a monthly progress meeting tomorrow at 10 o'clock at the sewer plant.

[12:46] And we did a walk through today at the bank with Elchiff, George from the Elchiff program came down, did a walk through, he was very pleased with the work that has been done.

[12:57] and excavating the drainage. Bruce was there today. I think he was going to be able to finish it up today.

[13:04] He was gracious enough to add another extension, another piece of pipe down on the one side. So he did that at his cause. So that was great.

[13:15] And they seeded it. They moved the rhododendrons off the building.

[13:20] So it looks really, really nice.

[13:24] So they were very happy with the progress.

[13:26] They're doing the bulkhead door.

[13:28] bulkhead door will be done.

[13:31] They were going to work on that today.

[13:33] They were digging it out.

[13:34] Nate Carter will hopefully be here in a few days to set it.

[13:38] And then the doors are going off to innovative for the brackets to be redone,

[13:43] because they're all a mess.

[13:45] And then it's going to fit William to be sandblasted.

[13:49] So hopefully in a couple of weeks we'll have that. I'll put back together.

[13:53] Good.

[13:54] Was there any update on the grant post?

[13:58] Have you ever found out who bit it?

[14:00] No.

[14:02] No.

[14:04] I think Channing told me that they didn't have cameras over here.

[14:08] No.

[14:09] I know when Richie on the diner he had cameras, I wanted that guy still has them.

[14:15] Because he could see right up Main Street.

[14:16] Yeah, I don't know I can let the police department know that you please yep.

[14:24] That's all I have

[14:29] Nothing today. Thank you

[14:32] Anybody have anything? No public comment.

[14:40] I did I just lost a foot

[14:41] I don't know if you asked or not, but the distillery has cameras

[14:47] They're outside. I don't know which way they're pointed. I know they usually put a flag

[14:52] assembly up out front

[14:54] They turn the cameras to watch those for us.

[14:57] Who has them?

[15:02] I will ask. I would think the police probably don't they have them or not? Not necessarily. I heard earlier. I heard you guys say something about opportunity drive. Is there more businesses out there now? There's one time to get out there. Possibly. Yes. I just want to still right now.

[15:28] No. No, there, you have the trailer place, you have the sausage place, well, there's no building, there, he bought a piece of land.

[15:38] Okay.

[15:39] And then a lumber company makes, and then the three lots in the back, or two lots in the back, they're in, they're in negotiations, I guess, but I hope.

[15:57] We had a engineering firm come in and are planning board meeting the other night to go over a preliminary

[16:02] What have you and they want to purchase three lots out there to have a factory and office space and

[16:12] Storage space. Yeah, it's at the end of the drive too long. Let's be the last ones to do. Yeah. Yeah, they just did last year. Yeah

[16:20] That's good. Yeah, all good news. Yeah

[16:26] Anybody else? No

[16:30] Board have anything else?

[16:31] No.

[16:33] I don't have any non-public.

[16:34] No.

[16:35] So, motion to adjournment.

[16:37] Second.

[16:38] All those in favor?

[16:39] All right.

[16:39] Aye.

[16:40] Motion carries.

[16:42] We're key tonight.

[16:44] It's good.

[16:52] Talks too much.

[16:59] If you need them again, they're in that box.
