[0:00] I would move the minutes be approved.
>> Second.
[0:04] » Any additions correction?
>> Yeah, but I'm Tommy and I are abstaining
[0:08] because we were there.
>> Oh, yeah. We have to
[0:10] » in favor.
[0:17] » All right. We're going to make some shot
here tonight. We're going to start
[0:23] from the big coach.
Yeah. Come right up. Come right up.
[0:32] chair or you want to just stand and talk
or
[0:34] » I better stand.
[0:41] » Thanks for coming.
>> Thanks.
[0:44] » Well, thank you for having me.
Yeah, I'm
[0:49] here because of a charitable
organization that I got involved with a
[0:57] coast bank.
[1:05] I got to keep
[1:10] » share. Thank you.
The Mid Coast Wood Bank is a volunteer
[1:16] partnership
between guys who like to work with
[1:22] firewood
communities who have residents
[1:28] in need of heat.
We try to be the filling in that
[1:32] sandwich.
That's why we call ourselves a
[1:36] partnership.
We serve a common community goal,
[1:41] helping people in need.
We've been in business for 11 years.
[1:50] The Mid Coast Woodbank functions from
Toppson
[1:54] and covers 10 towns, Bulage, Bath,
Bowden, all that. You can read all that
[2:00] down there. But the important thing is
that we provide firewood
[2:08] either directly to a household. We'll
bring two cords and drop it off. You
[2:13] stack it. I'm not going to stack stack
it. Or we would like to put two totes
[2:20] which are wire baskets each about a
third of a cord somewhere on acceptable
[2:27] town property. They'll be full of wood.
And they are wood is free for anybody
[2:35] that needs it.
>> And because the totes are in an
[2:39] accessible place, if somebody needs it
at 3:00 in the afternoon or as we found
[2:44] in Harpsville, somebody's furnace blew
up at midnight sub freezing. They went
[2:49] down to town hall and got enough
firewood to keep their house going. So
[2:54] we will provide to households
up to two cords of firewood delivery and
[3:01] to the towns we will provide totes
of 4x4 by five floor dried firewood.
[3:10] Place them where the town wants them
placed and we ask the town to work with
[3:16] community organizations to keep the
totes full.
[3:21] And that's that's been our issue. We're
good at getting wood for free. Sometimes
[3:27] we have to buy it. We're good at
cutting, splitting, stacking, and if the
[3:32] weather's cooperative, drying it, and we
deliver it because we've got a big
[3:37] trailer and pick up. We do not have
enough pickup trucks or staff to deliver
[3:42] the wood to keep the totes full. So,
that's our problem. And I'm here to ask
[3:48] two things. One, will each be a part of
our community service area for the 26 27
[3:57] season?
And number two, if the answer is yes,
[4:02] will you work with the community service
organizations that are existent in town?
[4:09] We'll work too so that we can count on
your totes being full,
[4:16] being kept full.
The one thing I I would like to throw in
[4:21] here, we're going to have those totes.
We had them over here in the parking lot
[4:24] and that wood went to campfire
most of it because people were stopping
[4:30] in there in June and July picking up
wood, you know, they didn't need it. It
[4:34] was 100° out. So, we we have a community
salt shed. It's it's not right on Route
[4:41] One, but everybody in town knows where
it is. We give away two bucks of sand at
[4:46] a time and people are there every day
all day picking up a bucket of sand and
[4:51] everything. I would think if we're going
to have those move the salt shed because
[4:56] we have a camera system there. If we see
some guy going in there and loading up
[5:00] his pickup truck and coming every day to
do it and we we know that you know
[5:05] » to miss the location location is a town
issue. Wherever the town wants it, we'll
[5:12] deliver two totes full of wood.
>> Mhm.
[5:15] » And on April 15th or thereabout, we'll
come and take the empty totes away.
[5:20] » But you need somebody to pick the wood
up in top and bring it down
[5:23] » between
October 1 and April 15th. As the totes
[5:30] go down in qual quantity,
somebody from Woolitch needs to refill
[5:37] them because we just don't have the
volunteer staff to drive back and forth.
[5:43] Mayor,
>> um, thank you for for doing this. Um,
[5:49] so what kinds of community service
organizations have you worked with in
[5:53] other town? I'm thinking in Witch of
churches. Um I also happen to know a
[5:58] neighbor of mine put donated some wood
that he was cutting up on his own
[6:03] property. So what's your experience with
>> our experience has been with council on
[6:09] agings or senior centers harpsal aging
at home. It's one organization.
[6:15] » Okay.
>> And there's a lady in charge of that who
[6:18] you don't say no to
>> and her husband did and he suffered.
[6:23] You go. He This lady knows how to get
things done.
[6:27] » Yeah.
>> And I'm sure we used to live in
[6:30] Ipsswitch, Massachusetts, and there was
a lady there who knew how to get things
[6:35] done. And I'm sure there's a lady or a
gent here in town that can get that
[6:41] done.
>> So, would you suggest having a point
[6:45] person in town sort of make sure you
know like reach out to these different
[6:50] organizations? my name and number is
right on here and I'll work with them
[6:54] and stay in touch
>> and uh and we'll we'll make it happen.
[7:00] » Right. So So to be to be clear, this is
this we already have these we've been
[7:04] doing these the last year. Yes.
>> And you folks have been refilling them,
[7:07] » right?
>> So that the the going forward the
[7:09] ability to refill them you can't do any.
>> We've added two towns this year. We have
[7:14] not added any pickup trucks.
>> Yeah.
[7:17] » Yeah. Jon. So Jon, it was Jonathan
Appleard that that put some wood in
[7:21] there.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
[7:26] » My own
people for us. You know, I I ate my wood
[7:33] to I've got next winter after I'm
working on the winter after that right
[7:38] now. I eat my house with wood. Uh and I
donated wood before and Dale's hauled it
[7:44] to me family. So, I I appreciate you
doing this. This is great, but I I do
[7:50] think we need we're going to get
involved. We need to get off this
[7:54] parking lot out here. It's too easy to
target anybody.
[7:57] » Yeah. People from Route One. We had a
lady that didn't live in town and she
[8:02] stopped by daily to pick up wood and I
know she lived in like Waldenboroough or
[8:07] whatever. So, I know it set on there for
residents only. So, it was a little
[8:12] frustrating to have people, you know,
and I I if they need it, I understand
[8:15] it,
>> but
[8:17] » we we hadn't really considered a
resident of another town coming to
[8:22] Woolitch
>> to fill up theirs.
[8:28] » Yeah. Ours ours was we had Yeah. Like I
when we were talking, you know, the the
[8:32] it being there in the summertime, it was
campfire
[8:35] » so that was very frustrating. Um,
>> and as it should be, yeah,
[8:39] » we we had a a a serious problem in in
Toxwell
[8:45] » where two totes would empty in a night
>> and it turned out that there was a
[8:52] clamor,
his flats are closed. He had a sick wife
[8:58] and he's working three jobs and he'd
pass by the totes and fill up his truck
[9:02] and go home and put it in his stove to
keep warm until the next night. So these
[9:07] things happen and we're glad to be part
of that kind of an exercise. Yes, the
[9:13] people who come after campfirewood,
they're a problem and there are shabby
[9:17] people all around.
>> But shouldn't but shouldn't that
[9:19] individual have reached out to you folks
directly and got wood delivered?
[9:23] » Yes.
>> I mean I mean there's a difference
[9:24] between daily pickup which
>> people won't do I mean I agree with you
[9:29] but will they do that
>> a sign right on the thing?
[9:34] » I'd use Mr. King as example. Heats with
wood.
[9:37] » Yeah.
>> And if he was in need,
[9:40] » he could call the number, John Allen,
qualify you,
[9:45] » and you're on a schedule, and we'll make
a delivery. We'll bring two cords,
[9:49] » and then later on in the season, you're
right. We'll bring two more cords.
[9:55] » Now, I think I have a time convention. I
needed more.
[9:58] » Well, you may. We we we we
distributed 120 cords last year. We've
[10:05] got 140 ready to go and we're going to
have 200 before the heating season
[10:10] begins. So for us, this is this is
serious stuff.
[10:15] » I don't know. I just don't know whoach.
Now, that was what I was wondering if we
[10:21] could put something out. If you said
Jonathan Appleard donated, you know,
[10:25] like you've got um the ride share
program, you know,
[10:28] » we got these we got something out there
>> and say we're looking for volunteers
[10:33] with a pickup truck
>> to pick up firewood for the community.
[10:37] Um you know,
>> we got a newsletter coming out next
[10:40] week.
>> That would be a great thing to put in
[10:42] there.
>> Well, I even had,
[10:43] » you know, it's helping your community. I
don't mind hauling the trail up and do
[10:47] it once in a while, but
>> you know, it doesn't have to be one
[10:49] specific person. It could be a couple
It certainly doesn't have to be one
[10:55] person,
>> although it' be good to have somebody
[10:58] kind of be in charge of it,
>> right?
[11:02] Thinking about moving to where the salt
shed was
[11:06] surpris
[11:10] » I know. I was I had that same question.
So, we're not going to
[11:18] say
>> maybe have a little discussion about it.
[11:28] » What Jason, what you started to say
something.
[11:30] » Well, I I had a couple of thoughts. One
was when you deliver to folks, you
[11:33] deliver a couple of cord. Right. Right.
>> So, why couldn't there be a larger
[11:37] delivery brought even if it was dumped
on the ground and then reloaded and
[11:41] others? Why couldn't there be a pile?
>> There was the sustainability of some
[11:46] more the unit is going to be the
problem. I think you know today I'll get
[11:49] a load. You'll get a load. You'll get a
load. But over time I I just
[11:55] » Yeah. I mean obviously how much is each
container hold? A cord.
[11:58] » Third of a cord.
>> A third of a cord. So if somebody were
[12:01] to deliver a two cord pile and even if
it was you know what I'm trying to say.
[12:05] » No.
>> No I don't. What do you dump it on the
[12:09] ground?
>> Dump it on the ground. have a secret so
[12:12] much dump in there.
>> Will you just carry it out?
[12:17] » Well, yeah. I don't know. Is there would
there be room in the building at some
[12:20] point to dump a couple of cord?
>> I don't know. I I mean, my concern would
[12:26] be you're going to have people in and
out of that sand building.
[12:29] » Yeah.
>> You're going to have an insurance
[12:30] situation and unsafe.
>> I wouldn't want to go in.
[12:33] » I think I think this is going to be out
of hand if we not care.
[12:36] » I wouldn't want anybody to go into the
building itself. I'm talking if the
[12:40] totes were out beside the the little
shed that they get the sand out of
[12:43] anyway.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
[12:45] » And then refill. See, what I'm trying to
point out is
[12:48] » we had in the building that that only
town personnel could carry out, right?
[12:53] » I wouldn't go buy once in a while
carrying a few of
[12:58] » Well, I was trying to point out that
that you deliver a larger volume. So
[13:02] maybe that maybe we would have a way of
accepting a larger volume and then have
[13:05] that for refilling. And maybe we could
do that and maybe someone in town,
[13:10] » right,
>> has a has a dump trailer
[13:13] » and could come and pick it up and do it
themselves.
[13:16] » Yeah. Yeah.
>> I began by saying Woodbank is a
[13:20] partnership
>> and a partnership goes after a goal and
[13:24] our goal and I hope your goal is to keep
people in need warm in the winter. And
[13:31] how do we get there? I think the idea of
delivering a dump load of wood, couple
[13:37] of cords makes a great deal of sense and
if it's done right, it shouldn't
[13:43] interfere with the salt shed.
>> No, I was just concerned about it was
[13:47] mentioned inside
[13:52] » so if it was to the left or the right of
the little shed little shed.
[13:55] » Yeah. Yeah. I was just wondering if
there was a way we could dump two cod in
[13:59] the building and only have town
personnel,
[14:03] me or Dale or whoever go over and just
carry it out and put it
[14:11] » raise your hand. Dale,
[14:16] » you mean you keep it in the cup?
>> Well, well, we have to keep it under
[14:19] cover. See, that that would be the
thing.
[14:21] » We don't have room in the fire station.
How much does a dumpster like?
[14:26] » Well, no. So, the trouble is the tote,
as he said, holds a third a third of a
[14:29] cord, right?
>> How big is that dumpster like out
[14:32] » here?
>> It's relatively close to that size.
[14:34] » Okay.
>> But but the point is you don't want to
[14:36] go you don't want to go pick up a third
of a cord every time. You want to get
[14:39] more volume.
>> So, that
[14:40] » my my only concern about committing
to keeping your totes full by dumping a
[14:48] load. My only concern is that we don't
have the pickups to make the deliveries
[14:54] to the households and come to you.
>> That would be one low. I mean,
[14:58] » no. No. But if you get right,
>> we set a truck up to get five or six
[15:03] yards.
>> Yeah.
[15:04] » That's going to go a long time
>> is if we have a place to dump it.
[15:08] » Yeah.
>> And then it can just be re
[15:13] and then just carry it out.
>> Yeah. Then you just take the loader and
[15:16] pick up some wood, take it outside.
>> I have all this room in my driveway now
[15:20] that my cars are going away.
[15:25] » Well, how about we discuss a little bit
more about this?
[15:31] » The last time somebody cost me $100.
>> Our people will talk to your people and
[15:37] then we'll get back to our people.
>> I think these people are going to make a
[15:40] good decision.
>> All right.
[15:41] » Thank you for raising your hand to help.
Yes. Yes. And you're on camera.
[15:45] » Thank you.
>> When do you need an answer?
[15:48] » Uh we want to start putting totes out
October 1.
[15:51] » Okay.
>> So we got six weeks.
[15:53] » Okay. But I'm leaving here with a sense
that you Woolitch would like to
[16:00] participate and we're now working on a
detail.
[16:03] » That's right.
>> And the detail has two parts. The
[16:07] location.
>> We think it's going to be up by the salt
[16:11] shed. and who is going to come and
handle it
[16:16] » because we'd really like to leave the
entire process to Woolwitch.
[16:21] » We'll bring the full totes. We'll take
the empty totes away and if you could
[16:26] find somebody with a dump trailer in
between to come pick up couple of cords.
[16:32] » Okay,
>> that'll take a lot of pressure off of
[16:34] us.
>> We will get it out there and we will let
[16:37] you know.
>> Thank you very much. Thank you very
[16:39] much. Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you,
ma'am.
[16:50] All right, we're going to we're going to
continue with new business here. And
[16:55] Trevor from here
[17:04] » Trevor Tyler.
>> We met the other day.
[17:07] » You and I.
>> He's from Ko.
[17:10] » That's right. Uh so hi both thanks for
for having me. Um my name is Kyle
[17:14] Phillips. I work with Ruth and at the
expiry land trust. We are currently
[17:20] doing a large prioritization of all of
the title crossings in our region, which
[17:24] is for our purposes all the railroad uh
road uh dam crossings over a title water
[17:31] body to determine which ones most well
suited for restoration projects like at
[17:35] Back River Creek where we raise the road
up to prevent um road flooding and uh
[17:40] expand the title channel to restore fish
habitat connectivity and support the
[17:44] adjacent islands. Um so as part of this
work we are doing a large GIS
[17:50] desktopbased prioritization of about 314
which is all the crossings in our region
[17:55] including Woolitch. Um and for all of
those crossings we have about 100
[18:00] different metrics calculated. So how
high is it above sea level if it floods
[18:04] with the detour route along it? Um how
many folks would get cut off? How
[18:08] important is it for access to emergency
services? as well as a handful of uh
[18:13] ecological metrics as well, like how
long is this stream that would get
[18:16] reconnected? Um how much marsh habitat
would be protected, what rare species do
[18:20] we care about? Um and on top of this uh
large comprehensive assessment, we've
[18:25] also been doing in-person uh field work
at priority sites, looking at the
[18:30] condition of crossings, um how they're
interacting with the nearby ecosystem,
[18:35] and taking surveys, photos, things like
that. So we have a really good sense
[18:39] about what's happening at these
crossings. And we'll ultimately be using
[18:42] all of this data to create fact sheets
about all of these different crossings
[18:46] to determine which ones are most suited
for restoration projects and facilitate
[18:50] conversations with municipalities about
um which projects we think we can
[18:54] advance. Also will be really helpful for
telling stories and creating narratives
[18:59] about these crossings for grants uh
funders. So we are now uh uh seeking
[19:05] funding for additional to continue this
work and we're hoping to apply for the
[19:09] main coastal communities grant uh which
is through main coastal program and
[19:14] municipal planning assistance um program
and in essence this grant could provide
[19:19] us with about $50,000 to continue moving
this work forward. Um it's required that
[19:24] either a municipality or council of
governments is the formal applicant. So
[19:28] we were hoping that which would be
willing to sponsor this application
[19:32] which essentially just means be the one
who's officially applying we would pull
[19:36] together the application as well as be
responsible for the administration uh
[19:41] and coordination related to the grant.
Um Kelt would cover the 10% match
[19:46] required. There's no financial ask being
made of the town. And what this grant
[19:50] would enable us to do is essentially
take all of this data and all the tools
[19:54] that we've developed and make them more
publicly accessible. So right now we'll
[19:58] just be we have funding to create simple
fact sheets about all the crossings. But
[20:02] what we we want to do is make sure that
these 100 different metrics that we
[20:05] calculated are accessible to folks as
well as integrate the data that we've
[20:09] collected with some state agency um
resources like the main title
[20:13] restriction atlas which lets anyone go
online and see all the photos that I've
[20:17] taken. So this essentially lets um folks
that are advancing this work, whether
[20:21] it's municipalities or state folks,
restoration practitioners, have the
[20:25] information that they need to move these
projects forward.
[20:30] » Wow.
>> Need from us.
[20:32] » Um we are just hoping that you will all
agree um to be the applicant for this
[20:37] and that we would provide you all with
the application.
[20:40] » I think that sounds like I would useful
information.
[20:43] » It is. And Ke obviously has been good to
work with.
[20:46] » I would make that motion. I would move
that we um are one of the applicants or
[20:49] the applicant
>> second. Those in favor
[20:54] » fantastic. Thank you.
>> Thank you.
[21:00] » You seconded that.
>> I did.
[21:05] » I know.
>> Okay, moving on.
[21:10] » Oh.
Um
[21:14] so make it quick. Thank you everybody
for our great Witch Community Day. This
[21:19] is the first meeting since then, right?
>> Yes.
[21:22] » Yep. Um
I have handed over to the road
[21:27] commissioner staff a plan for some sign
replacements in the park
[21:32] » staff. Wow.
>> Yes, the staff. Road commission.
[21:38] » So I'm hoping uh so I'm so let me know
if there's anything more you need from
[21:42] me on that.
>> Right. He needs some signs replaced and
[21:44] whatnot. Tammy has it. He has funding.
>> Go ahead,
[21:47] » for the park.
>> And I'll just remark that Allison and I
[21:53] and Danny
>> and Kim
[21:56] » and Kim went to the Saga Hockey EMA
emergency operation
[22:01] » and Sean
>> and Sean
[22:02] » and Sean. Yeah.
>> Emergency operations.
[22:06] » We were well
>> uh rehearsal simulation of a of an
[22:12] emergency event. And it was a learning
experience.
[22:15] » Yeah.
>> Yeah.
[22:17] » That's it.
>> Um what he said and I'll add to the
[22:21] emergency management thing. Um Wish I
thought was wor really great and I'm
[22:26] really grateful to Ta. She's not here
but hopefully that shows up in the
[22:29] minutes. Um yeah, and I'm continuing to
be tasked with and being invited to
[22:35] public transit workshops. I think I
mentioned it, you mentioned it for me
[22:38] the last time. So those are coming up.
fail.
[22:43] » Nothing.
>> Um, not much. Same thing with the with
[22:46] what we're say. It was another great um
success. Um, also don't forget folks,
[22:51] tomorrow, a week from tomorrow at 3:30
is the DOT and DOT safety audit meeting
[22:56] um here. Okay. So, that's all I got.
>> I have nothing to
[23:02] public
[23:06] » just because I haven't mentioned it
before. Downstairs in the display case,
[23:09] there's a really cool wedding dress.
Whose wedding? Where did it come from?
[23:17] » We've had it for a long time.
>> It looks great.
[23:20] » Found a way to share.
>> That's wonderful.
[23:25] » All right. How to administrative.
>> All right. So, we are going live with 30
[23:30] web next week. Um, and I
they're going to do the install Tuesday
[23:36] night and we go live Wednesday morning.
And when I was talking to the rep the
[23:41] other day because we're figuring out all
the bugs and we have a lot of bugs that
[23:45] things aren't working right. Um that
when we go live that morning on
[23:50] Wednesday, I have to go onto each
computer and reinstall everything that
[23:54] I've already put in the play
environment. So I would like to have a
[23:58] little late start that day because I
don't think I want to start off and
[24:02] running at 9:00 in the morning. And you
know I know we're going to have some
[24:06] issues. So, I just want to, you know, if
we can open early and everything's fine,
[24:10] but I want to shoot for like a noon y
>> start time because it is our late night
[24:14] 12 to 6. I think that'll be sufficient.
>> Advertise.
[24:17] » Yep. I'll do what I can. I'm leaving.
Yeah.
[24:20] » We can put it in the newsletter.
Although, is it is it next week?
[24:23] » Next Wednesday.
>> Next Wednesday.
[24:25] » Next Wednesday. So, I'll I'll put it out
on Facebook and I'll put the signs out.
[24:30] Yeah.
>> Put a sign in the door that says
[24:32] computer.
Well, I'll just say we're changing
[24:36] software.
>> Yeah.
[24:38] » That'll be bad.
>> The same thing.
[24:41] » Yeah. Computer's down, staff's going
crazy. Um, I spoke with Dean Brewer
[24:46] yesterday, and I also talked to Nicole
um from do the assessor. Um, and we
[24:52] would like to do the commitment on
September 16th,
[24:56] which is the second select board meeting
in September. So, uh, I I haven't heard
[25:02] back from Dean if that's going to be an
issue. So, I figure four o'clock on the
[25:06] 16th, we'll do the commitment. Nicole's
well aware of that.
[25:10] » Okay.
>> Okay. Um,
[25:13] we received, everybody saw the press
release in the folder. Um, we received a
[25:19] dividend check from MMA for good
performance and loss prevention efforts
[25:22] in the amount of $2,936.
So, that's always nice that we're
[25:26] keeping our um loss prevention and uh
workman's comp down.
[25:32] And then Allison and I are still working
on the Zoobo issue and um I spoke with
[25:36] John Nolles last week and it was like he
had never heard of what was going on.
[25:41] So, Allison put the timeline together.
We sent him pictures and finally hoping
[25:46] to come to an end to getting this boat
removed. And the last thing I would like
[25:50] to say is um happy belated birthday to
Debbie. your birthday yesterday. Was it
[25:57] your birthday yesterday?
>> No,
[25:59] » it is now.
[26:03] » All right.
>> You know what? Maybe it was my
[26:05] mother-in-law.
[26:08] » That's right. Her name's Debbie.
[26:13] » Thank you.
>> That was great.
[26:19] » Okay.
>> Okay.
[26:21] See David
moving on road commissions report. Yeah.
[26:27] » Yes.
>> None whatsoever. Just the logging
[26:31] complaints. The there's a big to-do on
Hedge bridge about the uh
[26:36] » the tree cutting.
>> Yeah.
[26:39] » That people are complaining that they're
starting 4 in the morning.
[26:43] » Yeah.
>> And is that allowed or ramp?
[26:46] » They're starting on Hedge bridge. Well,
the the complaint people on East Hedge
[26:50] or Hedge bridge or
>> It's Hedge Road.
[26:53] » It's Hedge bridge. So, not the Mountain
Road cutting problem.
[26:55] » No, it's We've got Isn't it Hedge?
>> It is. It's Hedge Road.
[27:00] » They're starting at 4 in the morning and
they've been doing it since August.
[27:04] » Okay. Okay. So, Dale says they're
cutting across the bridge on the left
[27:07] hand side.
>> Yeah.
[27:09] Who's that?
>> That's not the CMP one we thought was
[27:12] going on or whatever, but this guy is
Gavin's I don't know what his name is,
[27:16] but um
48 acres.
[27:20] » Yeah, big piece. They just cut on Samo
>> and they did the same thing.
[27:26] » I wasn't aware of it.
>> But you know,
[27:30] » yeah,
>> they must have flashlights.
[27:32] » Yeah.
>> Well, they're trying to beat the heat.
[27:34] That's what they're trying to do, Jack,
I think.
[27:35] » Yeah. Well, is that a Are they allowed
to do that or
[27:39] » Well, the other one, didn't we just say
if it was a forestry? Isn't that a
[27:42] » Yeah, we don't. We really have no
control over that.
[27:46] » Well, we have a noise ordinance. Do we
have a noise or we don't
[27:54] know?
>> No, we don't. We don't on that.
[27:57] » Happy birthday,
[28:02] Kim needs a timeout. Hey, get more water
for her.
[28:07] » She needs stronger than water.
[28:18] » Go ahead.
>> I just had a question for you. Are they
[28:20] sat construction? I see the stop lights
up on the old state road.
[28:23] » They will be getting on that bridge.
Yeah.
[28:25] » Well, they sat it. You know,
>> I don't know, but I see they turn the
[28:27] light around today.
>> Probably next week. Absolutely.
[28:32] » They they told us September 1st, but
quail.
[28:35] » Yeah.
>> So, no, I have nothing else. We've uh I
[28:38] checked on our roads today. They're very
good. Uh we got the brush ping, the
[28:42] pings down, and we know and uh we're in
pretty good shape. The shape we're in
[28:47] good. So,
>> all right.
[28:49] » If I was the cutting out there, I I had
one little group with another cutting
[28:54] company up on the mountain and they were
breaking the edge of the road off. I
[28:57] went and spoke with them and told them
that they would stop if they don't stop
[29:02] it and uh I don't know how far that went
but nonetheless
[29:06] uh what kind of seem to be quite
ruthless.
[29:12] » Well,
>> I don't know how can they start at the
[29:15] morning.
>> Well, so what they do is they truck up
[29:19] or something.
>> They get these big things nowadays. They
[29:23] they just run a big machine
>> and David they got whites. They got
[29:26] somebody left, but they get their permit
through the state and then and then we
[29:29] get notified later.
>> We got notified.
[29:32] » Yeah. And so I told
>> 4 a.m.
[29:35] » 4 to 4.
>> Is that what it says?
[29:37] » 4.
>> Yeah. So the state approves that. That's
[29:39] kind of, you know, so I told somebody in
the hot road one to call the forestry
[29:43] division and I, you know, I've dealt
with them in other towns. They should
[29:45] come out and and that's kind of they put
four to four on their form. That's
[29:51] » Well, they said it was supposed to start
on the 16th and the lady that called
[29:55] today said it's been going since August
5th.
[29:58] » What's that say?
>> It says 16th.
[30:00] » Yeah,
>> it was early.
[30:04] » Well, she said
>> I don't know. I don't think we got on
[30:09] the same road.
>> No, really?
[30:13] » Contact.
>> Yeah, you got a contact for because the
[30:16] mountain road we didn't get notification
till later, right? Is there contact
[30:20] information on that for on that
applicant?
[30:22] » I don't see anything. It just says Gavin
Mlan is the management services. Gerald
[30:28] Demato is the owner.
>> Yeah.
[30:32] » Has anyone contacted the the wood cutter
themselves and ask?
[30:37] I mean, it's worth a try.
I can't believe they want bad neighbors,
[30:42] you know.
>> I don't think they care. Yeah, they
[30:45] don't it it's kind of interesting that
that they put that on the form and then
[30:49] the state agrees to it when you know
putting something at 4 in the morning
[30:55] till the 16th of September.
>> Yeah,
[30:57] » that's right.
>> I'll look for a state contact tomorrow.
[31:00] » I can also reach out and say, you know,
maybe it's a matter of like updating
[31:05] this form so it actually reflects what's
really going on and making sure that
[31:09] it's in a time. the noise.
[31:14] » No,
>> you you'd almost think that when they
[31:16] get an application at the state level,
they'd send it to the town
[31:20] » for a quick review before they issue it
because these these kind of things, not
[31:24] knowing the neighborhoods.
>> Well, I think we did. I think the way I
[31:27] could be wrong, but I think it says we
chose option whatever, which is the
[31:31] state takes care of. They don't do
nothing.
[31:33] » We did do that.
>> Oh, that's right.
[31:36] » But you think they would we set up?
>> No, I agree. They let us know, but it's
[31:40] just
>> I mean, why would the state say 4 in the
[31:42] morning
>> because they don't
[31:46] exactly
there? How
[31:49] » I'll see what I can find out.
>> Okay.
[31:51] » Office Mike.
>> Uh, last couple weeks, two building
[31:55] permits, a residential roof, solar, and
a new principal structure on a George Ry
[31:59] road. That's a new mobile home replacing
another one. Two internal plumbing
[32:04] permits.
Uh quick update on the dock and ramp on
[32:08] Barrett Sway on Twunky property. Their
lawyer has sent them
[32:13] a a letter to remove remove it. So we'll
see how that goes. Deal with a civil
[32:19] plot line issue on Western Road and I
mentioned the forest operation. And then
[32:25] the deadline for the uh 1271 stage road,
the tires and the cars. That was Monday
[32:32] was the last day and I heard nothing. So
my thought is it worked. My
[32:37] recommendation would be that the next
letter goes says you have so many a date
[32:43] without that data
fine after that kind of thing.
[32:47] » Enforcement. So this is the the one
before the bridge.
[32:50] » Oh yeah.
>> Tires.
[32:53] Yeah. Yeah.
>> Cars.
[32:54] » So what do we do? I mean
>> Well, I think I think we do have to keep
[32:57] going on that one. That one's a
different issue than the other one. This
[33:01] one and I saw the name was in that
>> list. Yeah.
[33:05] » Yeah. I think I think it's we got to
>> So, do we senders?
[33:10] » So, do we send another letter?
[33:15] » I was wondering
>> what are we talking
[33:19] about?
>> Well, the biggest thing is he didn't
[33:20] hear a response and so I called him and
had him on the phone and he gave his
[33:24] email address and I can't imagine the
guy hasn't got this stuff. So, it's the
[33:29] next step like a certified
>> I think. Yeah, he's done 50 tires.
[33:34] That's a state thing with D as well. I I
think a certified letter that says
[33:39] because I it says here he could appeal
the letter. He didn't. And it says if
[33:43] you don't if you don't do anything
within this time frame, we can't we can
[33:48] by statute start enforcement action,
which would be a letter that says, you
[33:53] know, by guess another deadline date,
but after that.
[33:58] So, could we clean it up and then I
>> think we have to do the first thing
[34:02] first.
>> Ding him for the
[34:04] » I don't think we're there yet.
>> No, but that is
[34:07] » down the road. Yeah, maybe.
>> Maybe we need to tell him that.
[34:13] » Sorry about this.
>> Yeah, I mean, this is the first
[34:15] enforcement that I wrote.
>> Not a big deal since I started here.
[34:19] » That's right. Do you remember?
>> I started like four years ago, but
[34:22] remember this has been a long,
>> but
[34:28] Do you mind doing that?
>> No.
[34:31] » We agree. I mean,
>> Mike, what's the issue on the Dark
[34:34] Barrack way? Is it on the wrong?
>> It's on Chiwanki's property. So, if you
[34:39] go, you familiar with the area, I
assume.
[34:41] » Yeah.
>> You go across the cement bridge there.
[34:44] That's all Chanki's property. They're
allowed to use it.
[34:46] » Yeah.
>> Trail walks, fish, whatever.
[34:49] » Yeah. gentleman that was with his
parents on that road has put a temporary
[34:55] gang way and dock to get to his boat.
>> Kel Supre.
[35:00] » Nobody's naming names on TV.
>> No, no, no. That's why I said it in
[35:04] French.
>> So, yeah. And not very person as well.
[35:12] So, but I mean it's there. It's clear.
I've read the deeds and I mean I don't
[35:16] deal with that part of it. It's
unpermitted through us, so I could go
[35:20] that way, too.
>> Um, D claims that he doesn't need a
[35:24] permit there, but
>> but it's not, but it does need to be on
[35:29] his property.
>> Yes.
[35:31] » A permit from us, right?
>> Yeah.
[35:33] » The gentleman up by point contact you
about building a dock. I told him I told
[35:40] him that we had no waterfront rules, but
I said it is a structure. I said I
[35:44] believe you're going to have to have a
building from
[35:48] his name
>> for a dog.
[35:50] » No, he's got it's going to be a
structure. It's going to be a pier going
[35:56] out, not a dog.
>> Yeah, I haven't heard anything yet.
[35:59] » No, I don't think so.
>> Is that the is that there must be a
[36:03] certain size below which you don't have
to get a lease from parks and lands for
[36:08] that kind of stuff?
>> I think it it matters if it's temporary,
[36:11] seasonal.
>> Okay.
[36:13] » And I I think it anything that's
permanent permanent here permanent
[36:19] » that kind of stuff requires DP a lot of
time army corps
[36:23] » but even even temporary require a permit
from you though
[36:26] » yes
>> that's the thing at minimum it requires
[36:30] a local permit
>> correct
[36:33] » it's on the land
[36:40] » no
Right. Well, there's common land.
[36:44] » Common land. Yeah. And they the common
land has
[36:49] » I don't know that shape, but common land
has looks like there's a couple dogs.
[36:54] They've been in the grass for a while.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
[36:56] » But it's not
anybody else.
[37:03] » Thank you. I wonder whose that was
direct.
[37:07] » I don't make this. Um we've had 18 calls
so far this month. um one each related
[37:13] dres acid uh with 19 patients 16
transports and we called MC1 twice. Uh
[37:21] we have a training next Tuesday on the
use of the life packibrillator and um
[37:27] interpreting cardiac rhythms. Um it is
actually um and that's at 6:30 next
[37:33] Tuesday. Um yeah there emergency
management exercise
[37:42] has incident in Witch during it. We all
survived. We just had to evacuate a lot
[37:46] of people
>> and he disappeared. But
[37:48] » yeah, they told me I had to go. So I was
kicked out. But um yeah, I think it was
[37:53] good for people to see what actually
happened in the emergency operations.
[37:58] » No, I learned a lot.
>> And also thank you Jason for arranging
[38:02] the installation of the power outlet in
the room for whenever
[38:07] we're ready.
And that's it. Anybody have any
[38:12] questions today? Okay, thank you.
>> 11 calls so far this month. Um, checked
[38:20] out the North Face the other day. That
looks fine. Looks good to me. The only
[38:24] concern is he hasn't picked up with all
of his stuff yet.
[38:29] » That's Yeah, that that shed has become
the storage facility for his painting
[38:34] supplies. I see.
>> It's always something. He's got a
[38:39] ladder, nifty paint tails and brushes
and other things that need to go. This
[38:44] building looks great.
>> Yeah,
[38:45] » I'm happy with the building.
>> Anyway, that's that um
[38:53] » the I reached out to the sign company
there that um you mentioned. Um have a
[38:58] couple
ideas for them I've sent over. So, we'll
[39:02] see what they get back to me with that
as far as pricing goes. Um annual host
[39:08] testing was completed uh Monday. Um we
had um just over 12,000 ft of hose
[39:14] tested and uh
150 ft. So three sections of that failed
[39:20] which is normal. We always lose at least
two or three a year. So um not too bad.
[39:25] Um the only other thing we're going to
be attending the annual block party at
[39:29] the school on the 26th. Um, they host in
the summer kind of back in the school
[39:36] mode.
>> Oh, August.
[39:38] » Yeah. Yeah.
>> What time?
[39:40] » 5 to 7 p.m.
>> 5 to 7.
[39:47] » And that is all I have.
>> So, they've looked at it. Um, we haven't
[39:54] we did a lot the last two nights have
been a lot of work in the hose, so we
[39:57] haven't had time to mess with it. But it
it's very evident to me that it needs to
[40:01] be fixed because of the hose. The amount
of hose we had to manually hold just
[40:06] have all the cable jammed.
>> It's jammed up. It won't we we threw I
[40:12] bet you we threw 300 lb of hose on it
and it wouldn't even budge. So, it needs
[40:16] to be I think we're going to have to
hook something to it and force it to
[40:20] come back down. either that take it down
and then physically work on it. But
[40:25] yeah, as long be fun.
>> Is there a way
[40:29] it to lower it down small or something?
>> Maybe. I mean, we have pulleys up there.
[40:35] We We have rope pulley, but
>> it's just going to be a matter. I mean,
[40:38] I can hook another We have three trucks
of wenches. I can hook a truck winch to
[40:42] it and we we'll get it down.
It's just a matter I mean, you go up in
[40:47] that post tower when it's 70 degrees
down here, it's 85 up there. It's just
[40:51] an oven.
>> Are you going to try some more weight
[40:53] first or is that
>> I don't think the weight I think it
[40:55] needs to physically be
>> pulled down. I think it needs to either,
[40:59] you know, be forced to come back up
because it'll try the the motor. It's
[41:02] not bound up. The motors, you know, you
can hear it spin. You can see it. It
[41:05] wants to spool, but it's
>> it's the problem is it doesn't have a
[41:09] fail. So, it it it winds up only the
best you can do when you go up and down.
[41:14] » So, it you know, after 10 20 years of
use, it's done the same same way.
[41:21] or whatever. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Exactly. So, we're gonna try.
[41:26] We'll get it down. And then, my guess is
it probably needs a new cable. That
[41:30] cable's, you know, I the pictures that
I've seen of it up up top, it's all, you
[41:34] know, that you can see that's got phrase
on it. And, you know, it's not one you
[41:37] want to hold with your hand. So, um, but
but it needs to be it's it's a it's a
[41:43] tool that like we we have hung all that
hose by hand. And I'll tell you what,
[41:47] » wet hose is heavy. So,
>> it's a it's a necessity, but we'll stay
[41:53] tuned. We'll see.
>> Let's see what we can figure out and get
[41:57] it down.
>> If you get it down, you want to take a
[41:59] look at it.
[42:06] » So, Sean, I was asked historical site
asked about the tent. Are the tents
[42:09] ready to come down? Whatever.
>> They can't. Yeah. Yeah. You guys
[42:12] Everything's done.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Chad Chad recent I did text
[42:17] be
>> Oh no no no no no
[42:20] » you pull those things up wet they know I
texted Donald but just to let you know
[42:25] that
>> we got a few we'll try to do that on a
[42:29] on a we've got people here
>> and it's going to go back into storage.
[42:33] » Yeah. Yeah. I think it's going right
back to the bar.
[42:35] » Yeah Donald knows I think.
>> Yeah.
[42:37] » Yeah. Okay. Not not in this barn to
>> Yeah. That's up to Donald. I think you
[42:42] know back over
[42:46] Debbie. Is that what you meant?
>> Yeah. Okay.
[42:51] » Anything on old business? Okay. We have
one more on the new business. We need
[42:58] $210,253
[43:02] worth of taxes
>> to property is being on the verge of
[43:09] » is this to
This is this is the 30-day the um unpaid
[43:15] taxes. So this yeah just the 2026 taxes
>> and we're committing them to her because
[43:20] she's now
>> she signed the letters notices. So yeah
[43:24] » move second.
>> Those in favor
[43:33] » so I will say 30 years I've never done
that before. I will leave a card, two
[43:38] cards, one for Howie and one for Glenn
>> and leave them in the signature
[43:45] there. Okay.
>> Okay.
[43:47] » Tomorrow or the next day?
>> I'm going to put them in there right
[43:50] now. If you you go back in your office.
[43:56] » Okay.
>> Yeah.
[43:58] » Okay. Nobody has any further business
before the board.
[44:03] So second
