00:00:39,820 --> 00:00:46,219
that is that true yes but i'll do it under hearing of visitors oh sure will there be any adjustments

00:01:11,019 --> 00:01:17,900
yes sir hi i'm a visitor my name is josh landis i'm from wmc news josh landis l-a-n-d-e-s here's

13
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:21,819
a card for you and i'm making a recording as well just so that you guys know um i'm

14
00:01:21,819 --> 00:01:21,980
here

15
00:01:22,060 --> 00:01:26,939
because i'm sorry w-a-m-c news for where from uh i'm based out of pittsfield massachusetts okay

16
00:01:26,939 --> 00:01:32,939
yeah so i was trying to contact under the select board to ask about the resignation of your school

17
00:01:32,939 --> 00:01:37,180
principal you sent out a message to the community that was very explicit about his experience in

18
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:40,299
stanford and i was interested to hear if the select board has a response to that

19
00:01:42,219 --> 00:01:48,620
not this is not anything to do with select board the school and the select board town are

20
00:01:49,180 --> 00:01:51,579
separate so you would have to ask the select board we

21
00:01:51,579 --> 00:01:56,780
or school board oh yes school board let me ask you just in the capacity of like you know you

22
00:01:56,780 --> 00:02:01,980
guys are leaders in your community and represented to some degree of stanford uh in this message um

23
00:02:01,980 --> 00:02:07,819
randy uh the camera was last thing i believe but he talked about the feeling of being experience

24
00:02:07,819 --> 00:02:11,020
experiencing prejudice or homophobia in stanford and i was interested in your

25
00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:17,819
thoughts on that as people who represent the community not as far as i know okay so direct

26
00:02:17,819 --> 00:02:21,580
your question to mr dunall i was going through your social media today and your attitudes about

27
00:02:22,539 --> 00:02:27,500
the state of the world and the status of the state in the world has really been incredibly

28
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:30,219
discredited i suppose you can see a lot of the issues that you're seeing in the schools are

29
00:02:30,219 --> 00:02:34,219
well expressed in that format i was interested with that in mind given that you seem to be

30
00:02:34,219 --> 00:02:38,620
comfort comfortable talking about that publicly in your personal life as interested in your real

31
00:02:38,620 --> 00:02:44,129
capacity as a stanford leader does that represent the community's feelings about that community

32
00:02:44,129 --> 00:02:49,650
i follow the state laws in the constitution of the united states as a select board member

33
00:02:50,370 --> 00:02:53,729
okay well essentially because you posted about your concerns about the gay agenda and in schools on

34
00:02:53,889 --> 00:02:56,509
given that the school's principal left the community

35
00:02:56,509 --> 00:02:58,210
citing that concern, and that's something

36
00:02:58,210 --> 00:02:59,409
you've put your name to in public.

37
00:02:59,409 --> 00:03:01,150
I mean, should it be, if you can speak to that.

38
00:03:01,150 --> 00:03:05,189
No, I have no comment about that at all.

39
00:03:06,090 --> 00:03:08,009
I've met with the principal many times,

40
00:03:08,009 --> 00:03:09,330
been at meetings many times,

41
00:03:09,330 --> 00:03:14,090
and have not seen any problems at all with myself or him.

42
00:03:14,090 --> 00:03:14,930
Okay.

43
00:03:14,930 --> 00:03:17,110
We've actually interacted very well.

44
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:18,569
Gotcha, like I just just broadly,

45
00:03:18,569 --> 00:03:20,729
like it's a large statement to make about the community,

46
00:03:20,729 --> 00:03:22,069
and I just wanted to give the opportunity

47
00:03:22,069 --> 00:03:24,150
to the leaders of the community to respond to that.

48
00:03:24,150 --> 00:03:25,750
Are you saying essentially you don't have much

49
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:28,900
of a comment on that accusation, or?

50
00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:31,580
No, because this doesn't involve the town

51
00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:33,300
and what we're here for.

52
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:35,840
We're here for the town and select board members.

53
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,340
Right, and I guess I'm arguing

54
00:03:37,340 --> 00:03:40,060
as someone who covers dozens and dozens of communities,

55
00:03:40,060 --> 00:03:42,120
you guys are the leaders of the town,

56
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,800
so I suppose yes, bureaucratically there's a distinction,

57
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,500
but as its representative, you feel like

58
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:49,759
it's a school department issue?

59
00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:51,259
Yes, yes.

60
00:03:53,729 --> 00:03:55,210
Yeah? Okay.

61
00:03:55,210 --> 00:03:56,409
Gotcha, okay, thank you guys very much.

62
00:03:56,409 --> 00:03:57,250
I really appreciate it.

63
00:03:57,250 --> 00:03:58,289
Okay.

64
00:03:58,289 --> 00:03:58,810
Bye.

65
00:03:58,810 --> 00:04:01,360
Thank you.

66
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,460
Any other visitors, comments?

67
00:04:03,460 --> 00:04:07,240
Okay.

68
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,539
Reading and approval of records.

69
00:04:08,539 --> 00:04:09,400
Bill, bill.

70
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,479
Oh.

71
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:13,860
I'm looking over there.

72
00:04:13,860 --> 00:04:15,259
I wanted to add financing

73
00:04:15,259 --> 00:04:18,600
of the new fire engine to the agenda.

74
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,199
Yes, Laurie gave me the bills.

75
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:20,800
Okay.

76
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,879
Yeah.

77
00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:25,350
Okay.

78
00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:28,810
Reading and approval of records and orders from last meeting.

79
00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:29,089
Yes, I do.

80
00:04:29,089 --> 00:04:29,329
Yeah.

81
00:04:29,329 --> 00:04:36,620
Can I have a motion to accept the minutes as approved?

82
00:04:38,220 --> 00:04:49,850
I made the motion that we approve the meeting minutes from June 20th.

83
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:50,990
Can I have a second?

84
00:04:51,290 --> 00:04:51,790
I'll second.

85
00:04:52,610 --> 00:04:53,269
All in favor?

86
00:04:53,709 --> 00:04:54,029
Aye.

87
00:04:54,350 --> 00:04:55,810
Okay, thank you.

88
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:00,740
Road conditions, where would you like to start, Dave?

89
00:05:00,740 --> 00:05:03,000
Do you want to go with the FEMA, the Class 2?

90
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,560
Yeah, I'll always start with what's on the agenda and go from there.

91
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:06,860
Okay.

92
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,379
FEMA subgrant agreement for Klondike Road damages.

93
00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:15,180
So that, I just wanted to let you know,

94
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,779
has made it through every FEMA hurdle that they can throw at us,

95
00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:23,120
and it was time to actually sign the grant agreement.

96
00:05:23,819 --> 00:05:29,199
This is only for the Klondike culvert mitigation piece,

97
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:32,860
which is only one road out of all the ones that were damaged.

98
00:05:33,220 --> 00:05:39,980
The total loss for this one road was $11,602.

99
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,519
So because we don't have our hazard mitigation plan finalized,

100
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:51,920
they're only going to pay 75% of that, which is $8,701.

101
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:59,819
And our portion would be $2,900 and some change.

102
00:05:59,819 --> 00:06:04,310
The other two projects, Charlie and I,

103
00:06:04,310 --> 00:06:04,649
we're going to have to go through them.

104
00:06:04,649 --> 00:06:04,730
So we're going to have to go through them.

105
00:06:04,730 --> 00:06:04,910
So we're going to have to go through them.

106
00:06:04,910 --> 00:06:05,009
So we're going to have to go through them.

107
00:06:05,009 --> 00:06:06,569
Ross called me again today.

108
00:06:06,730 --> 00:06:08,490
I came in and had to call him back.

109
00:06:09,529 --> 00:06:11,329
They want more GPS coordinates.

110
00:06:12,290 --> 00:06:14,009
We gave them just one coordinate.

111
00:06:14,250 --> 00:06:15,949
Here's the damage.

112
00:06:16,689 --> 00:06:20,310
But the way he worked out the math of the dimensions,

113
00:06:20,670 --> 00:06:25,750
it's long enough that now he wants a beginning coordinate and an end coordinate.

114
00:06:27,860 --> 00:06:29,980
And I don't know, when you look at Google Maps,

115
00:06:30,019 --> 00:06:33,920
if I can get that specific when you're looking at, like, 300 feet.

116
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,160
You can't just go by the length.

117
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,019
Where is Charles anyway?

118
00:06:38,019 --> 00:06:44,720
He's from down south, but they fly him up to work on FEMA projects in Vermont.

119
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,160
So they're putting him up in a hotel and he's just got . . .

120
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,839
He should stop here and look and go around and that would be a whole lot easier.

121
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:52,839
He did it himself.

122
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:58,839
The GPS coordinates are going to be more accurate than a tape measure?

123
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,060
No.

124
00:07:00,060 --> 00:07:02,060
Well, that's the hard part.

125
00:07:02,060 --> 00:07:06,100
And, you know, he estimated a certain width and length and depth, so . . .

126
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:12,230
So, you know, all we can do is now try and accommodate the numbers and . . .

127
00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:13,230
I don't . . .

128
00:07:13,230 --> 00:07:14,230
Go with his numbers.

129
00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:16,230
They want us to hire, like, an engineer and . . .

130
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:17,230
Oh, Lord.

131
00:07:17,230 --> 00:07:18,230
He's just standing there with your phone and . . .

132
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:19,230
For a small town . . .

133
00:07:19,230 --> 00:07:20,230
Right.

134
00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:21,230
Hire an engineer for 20,000 . . .

135
00:07:21,230 --> 00:07:22,230
Yeah, we're, like, crazy.

136
00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:23,230
Like, just . . .

137
00:07:23,230 --> 00:07:31,230
They have informally asked for the information and if we can get it to them in the next couple of days and it works, it'll be good.

138
00:07:31,230 --> 00:07:35,230
If not, it becomes a formal request and it may involve another . . .

139
00:07:35,230 --> 00:07:42,329
Site visit team and an inspection team to determine all of this and . . .

140
00:07:42,329 --> 00:07:45,329
I'd rather not go through all that, but . . .

141
00:07:45,329 --> 00:07:47,329
Do the best you can with them and send it and . . .

142
00:07:47,329 --> 00:07:49,329
Does anybody have a handheld GPS?

143
00:07:49,329 --> 00:07:53,089
Or off of their phone?

144
00:07:53,089 --> 00:07:54,089
Just . . .

145
00:07:54,089 --> 00:07:57,089
Yeah, I'm not too familiar, but I'm sure you can use your phone.

146
00:07:57,089 --> 00:07:58,089
Download . . .

147
00:07:58,089 --> 00:07:59,089
You can download . . .

148
00:07:59,089 --> 00:08:01,089
Pick the number, double it, and let them argue.

149
00:08:01,089 --> 00:08:02,089
Yeah, like . . .

150
00:08:02,089 --> 00:08:03,089
Do a quick . . .

151
00:08:03,089 --> 00:08:04,089
. . .

152
00:08:04,089 --> 00:08:05,089
Guaranteed, if it's too much, they'll come back to you.

153
00:08:05,089 --> 00:08:06,089
Yeah, that's . . .

154
00:08:06,089 --> 00:08:07,089
Yeah, that's what I figured.

155
00:08:07,089 --> 00:08:08,089
Right.

156
00:08:08,089 --> 00:08:09,089
Well, that's what I'm worried about.

157
00:08:09,089 --> 00:08:13,089
If it doesn't make the right yardage, we're going to be in trouble.

158
00:08:13,089 --> 00:08:15,089
Well, we know how much yardage went into it.

159
00:08:15,089 --> 00:08:16,089
Did you go backwards?

160
00:08:16,089 --> 00:08:17,089
That's right.

161
00:08:17,089 --> 00:08:18,089
That's what we read.

162
00:08:18,089 --> 00:08:22,089
I got guys who can't read a tape measure, so, I mean, that's just the way it is.

163
00:08:22,089 --> 00:08:24,089
Have they sent you a number?

164
00:08:24,089 --> 00:08:29,089
Have they sent you a parameter that they're like, we think it's this, but do you think it's something different?

165
00:08:29,089 --> 00:08:31,089
Because otherwise, just go with theirs.

166
00:08:31,089 --> 00:08:34,090
Yeah, they're really just trying to set us up to fail.

167
00:08:34,090 --> 00:08:35,090
Oh, wow.

168
00:08:35,090 --> 00:08:36,090
They're trying to get . . .

169
00:08:36,090 --> 00:08:40,090
From what I can tell, they've come at us, I don't know how many times, with the same questions,

170
00:08:40,090 --> 00:08:44,090
and then they want us to measure holes that don't exist anymore.

171
00:08:44,090 --> 00:08:51,090
And they weren't even, you know, we're talking about where the water was down the road and zigzagged and was deeper in one spot.

172
00:08:51,090 --> 00:08:55,090
They wanted to come up with a volume for a hole that doesn't exist.

173
00:08:55,090 --> 00:08:59,090
I can't go measure it anymore, which they've argued, and they seem to agree.

174
00:08:59,090 --> 00:09:05,090
Because what they wanted to do was audit us on our information.

175
00:09:05,090 --> 00:09:09,090
And I can't give them an accurate number at this point.

176
00:09:09,090 --> 00:09:17,090
So he created his own numbers of, well, it took, you know, four loads of gravel and this and that,

177
00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:22,090
so that must fill a hole this long by this wide and this deep.

178
00:09:22,090 --> 00:09:28,090
And then anything over 200 feet long, you can't just give one GPS coordinate for the sensor.

179
00:09:28,090 --> 00:09:31,090
Now you've got to actually give the beginning and the end, which . . .

180
00:09:31,090 --> 00:09:32,090
How did you know?

181
00:09:32,090 --> 00:09:33,090
I can tell them.

182
00:09:33,090 --> 00:09:34,090
It's just . . .

183
00:09:34,090 --> 00:09:36,090
It's not just the top of the gravel, it's what went in the hole. There's your number.

184
00:09:36,090 --> 00:09:37,090
That's right. That's right.

185
00:09:37,090 --> 00:09:38,090
Oh, right.

186
00:09:38,090 --> 00:09:39,090
And work it back for them.

187
00:09:39,090 --> 00:09:42,090
You just can't get more accurate than that. It's a trust issue, I guess.

188
00:09:42,090 --> 00:09:43,090
Work it back.

189
00:09:43,090 --> 00:09:44,090
Yeah.

190
00:09:44,090 --> 00:09:46,090
So do the best you can, Lori and Dave.

191
00:09:46,090 --> 00:09:47,090
And . . .

192
00:09:47,090 --> 00:09:50,090
Our plan, didn't we finalize that, has . . .

193
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:58,090
No, she's coming next select board meeting to go over the plan and . . .

194
00:09:58,090 --> 00:10:01,340
We've done our part.

195
00:10:01,340 --> 00:10:02,340
Yes.

196
00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:03,340
Yeah.

197
00:10:03,340 --> 00:10:04,340
And it's been approved by the state.

198
00:10:04,340 --> 00:10:06,340
It's been approved by the state, so we have to adopt it.

199
00:10:06,340 --> 00:10:07,940
Yeah.

200
00:10:07,940 --> 00:10:10,990
Okay.

201
00:10:10,990 --> 00:10:11,990
Is that the step, Lori?

202
00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:12,990
That's what . . .

203
00:10:12,990 --> 00:10:13,990
So that's it for the FEMA.

204
00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:14,990
We will submit as much as we can.

205
00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:15,990
The other one, we were approved for the class two structures and roadway grant that Dave

206
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:17,179
and I submitted last, maybe, fall, a $200,000 project.

207
00:10:17,179 --> 00:10:18,179
So they will pay $160,000.

208
00:10:18,179 --> 00:10:19,179
We'll have to pay the other, like, 40-ish.

209
00:10:19,179 --> 00:10:20,250
And then we'll have to pay the other $100,000.

210
00:10:20,250 --> 00:10:21,700
So we'll have to pay the other $100,000.

211
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:22,700
So we'll have to pay the other $100,000.

212
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:23,700
And then we'll have to pay the other $100,000.

213
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:24,700
And then we'll have to pay the other $100,000.

214
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:25,700
And then we'll have to pay the other $100,000.

215
00:10:38,370 --> 00:10:39,370
And then we'll have to pay the other $100,000.

216
00:10:39,370 --> 00:10:40,370
So we'll have to pay the other $100,000.

217
00:10:40,370 --> 00:10:41,370
And then we we'll have to pay the other $100,000.

218
00:10:41,370 --> 00:10:42,370
That's the agreement.

219
00:10:42,370 --> 00:10:43,370
Um, that's the agreement.

220
00:10:43,370 --> 00:10:44,370
This grant agreement will have to be signed.

221
00:10:44,370 --> 00:10:45,370
And where is that?

222
00:10:45,370 --> 00:10:46,370
In the opinion.

223
00:10:46,370 --> 00:10:47,370
We have one of these things.

224
00:10:47,370 --> 00:10:48,370
This is . . .

225
00:10:48,370 --> 00:10:49,370
It's for a KNR and ChIP deal for East Road.

226
00:10:49,370 --> 00:10:50,370
East Road.

227
00:10:50,370 --> 00:10:51,370
It's the class two, so it kind of has to be . . .

228
00:10:51,370 --> 00:10:52,370
East Road.

229
00:10:52,370 --> 00:10:53,370
Oh, yeah.

230
00:10:53,370 --> 00:10:54,370
Are these matches, can we use, uh, labor hours, also?

231
00:10:54,370 --> 00:10:55,370
We could, but in this particular project, we're really not going to have any labor

232
00:10:55,370 --> 00:10:56,370
hours.

233
00:10:56,370 --> 00:10:57,370
Oh, good.

234
00:10:57,370 --> 00:10:58,370
Okay.

235
00:10:58,370 --> 00:10:59,370
Can I make a motion to accept it?

236
00:10:59,370 --> 00:11:00,370
Okay.

237
00:11:00,370 --> 00:11:13,360
can i make a motion to accept it okay i'll second favor uh we'll have to run before after next

238
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:35,519
okay um dave this is kind of oh this is old business from last meeting uh we talked about

239
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:42,190
the trees at the top of the lane in east road they did not get blown down in this storm

240
00:11:42,190 --> 00:11:53,440
but um i guess i was a little confused on the letter of what we were writing to the people so

241
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:59,740
i just wanted to see what the board what we decided i thought the board was going to send

242
00:11:59,740 --> 00:12:05,600
a letter to the owners saying it's a liability for these trees you should have them removed

243
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:05,659
you should have them removed

244
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:12,159
is that so we didn't send the letter yet no because dave had another impression that

245
00:12:12,159 --> 00:12:18,639
and i thought oh i don't think so we're improving they're not dead trees right they are the land

246
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:24,940
owner's property but they're not dead and we're really trying to improve the road when i go out

247
00:12:24,940 --> 00:12:30,019
to improve a road and try to widen the section of road we cut the trees we don't ask them to

248
00:12:30,019 --> 00:12:37,149
cut the trees i think in this case they're healthy old maple trees where we want to

249
00:12:37,250 --> 00:12:42,830
cut them down and improve the road for safety reasons well is that the dead one that's on top

250
00:12:42,830 --> 00:12:47,509
of the lane there on the right well there's a stump but we're not we didn't add that we i'm

251
00:12:47,509 --> 00:12:58,039
that's going anyway oh okay these are the other two on heading north okay so i don't i think if

252
00:12:58,039 --> 00:13:04,210
we ask somebody else to pay to take down the trees that are perfectly fine we're trying to

253
00:13:04,210 --> 00:13:08,789
want to do it we may get some resistance on us even doing it after i mean they may have

254
00:13:08,950 --> 00:13:17,230
some bite i mean they're public shade trees in a way i mean they're old they're landmarks i would

255
00:13:17,230 --> 00:13:21,789
say almost i've seen the trees they're not going to be like anything that's going to be cheap to

256
00:13:21,789 --> 00:13:30,309
no take down no so with a mirror with a mirror in place on in a certain area coming up on from

257
00:13:30,309 --> 00:13:35,289
the lane over here would that help yeah because that'll be a lot cheaper i'm here i'm here you

258
00:13:35,289 --> 00:13:38,409
know some places when there's a blind spot they put a mirror in place so you

259
00:13:39,139 --> 00:13:45,350
know that might be a cheaper alternative than removing those big maple trees with the permission

260
00:13:45,350 --> 00:13:54,220
of whoever owns the tree to put the mirror on so how do you want to proceed then i i well

261
00:13:54,220 --> 00:14:12,220
the stump is the biggest problem when i went up there i know you've got to get by the stump left

262
00:14:12,820 --> 00:14:17,620
it was bad i would say once this dump's gone you're going to try to look left and go i can't

263
00:14:17,620 --> 00:14:23,480
see it i mean i think it's just a lot of times when you're pulling out of there i've had it with

264
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:32,659
my plow truck especially and i'm already in the intersection i'd really like to see him go i'd

265
00:14:32,659 --> 00:14:37,299
like to just see write a letter and say we're taking them down okay i haven't taken down i just

266
00:14:37,860 --> 00:14:42,820
i think so don't ask us just say we will be doing this see if there's any resistance and then i would

267
00:14:43,139 --> 00:14:48,019
say we're going to be taking these trees down and it's within our right yeah it's within the right

268
00:14:48,019 --> 00:14:53,700
away we wanted you to be aware of it in case you have any objections or you want the board or

269
00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:59,779
something along those lines okay i mean we're perfectly legal to do it but we you kind of have

270
00:14:59,779 --> 00:15:04,580
to fight it to be honest with you if the town came and asked me if i wanted to cut them down

271
00:15:04,580 --> 00:15:10,480
and pay for i'd say no right yeah you want to cut you might not get as much resistance

272
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,679
we're it's going to be a back and forth thing if we ask this person pay and i don't speak for it

273
00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:23,799
but i'm guessing he's going to tell us no why wouldn't they they're not dead they don't see

274
00:15:23,799 --> 00:15:33,110
how they're a liability to her really i mean i was just treating it like i assumed it was like

275
00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:38,629
the chicken incident you know the chickens are going to cause an accident and uh this would

276
00:15:38,629 --> 00:15:44,070
sure they would come back to you that didn't go well either create a song and dance

277
00:15:45,669 --> 00:15:53,669
under and any of us have been around some of those oh there's a lot of i mean we really we

278
00:15:53,669 --> 00:15:58,629
really need a good tree policy you know i said last week but we're you know especially in the

279
00:15:58,629 --> 00:16:08,149
situations we're in now i mean there's no no old ordinance buried deep in the archives lori did

280
00:16:09,029 --> 00:16:14,950
reach out to other towns and one i guess she got one back and it's like the trees in the park and

281
00:16:15,669 --> 00:16:25,970
it was nothing to do with us it's kind of more like a big city yeah so uh i guess if you can

282
00:16:25,970 --> 00:16:40,259
revise the letter i can well maybe it's yeah to say we will take it down when we can okay what

283
00:16:40,259 --> 00:16:47,860
else dave so i think everybody's aware of the storm we had and uh some of the damage that we

284
00:16:47,860 --> 00:16:51,379
suffered as far as trees there's a lot of memories

285
00:16:52,179 --> 00:16:58,159
there's a lot of trees that are hung up you're gonna require more equipment than what i had

286
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:09,920
i would say a bucket truck um last summer eight weeks we spent repairing flood work i mean i don't

287
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:17,190
know how much this summer i gotta get caught up on i've got culverts and ditching and to stop and

288
00:17:17,190 --> 00:17:22,230
try to clean up all this mess at this point it's just we're gonna end up spending money repairing

289
00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:24,609
roads because i didn't get to the road i didn't get to the road i didn't get to the road i didn't

290
00:17:24,609 --> 00:17:31,039
know the work i needed to do so i'm suggesting that we hire somebody to clean some of this stuff

291
00:17:31,039 --> 00:17:38,740
up how far off the road do you have to clear this debris i mean you don't have to if this well

292
00:17:38,740 --> 00:17:42,420
the garage i mean you could leave it if you guys want to leave it it's out of the

293
00:17:43,970 --> 00:17:48,769
travel part of the road oh yeah you're going to hit it with a plow some of them some of it

294
00:17:48,769 --> 00:17:55,009
is hanging up it's dangerous you know right some people come and start cutting it and they get hurt

295
00:17:56,140 --> 00:18:05,319
Well, I would say if it's a company, I mean, just high-end people, if we've got a bunch of wood on the side of the road, are going to eventually come out and cut it for firewood.

296
00:18:05,539 --> 00:18:07,559
I mean, technically, it's the landowners.

297
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,420
Right, and there are people already doing that.

298
00:18:09,420 --> 00:18:09,640
Yeah.

299
00:18:10,460 --> 00:18:16,579
So, you know, somebody just starts going and cutting wood on the side of the road, and they're kind of stealing in a way.

300
00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:21,539
I mean, where, if I'm going to take the wood, I'm supposed to ask the property owner.

301
00:18:21,539 --> 00:18:28,599
But, Dave, what I wonder, now, say the stump is 30 feet off the road, you wouldn't go all the way back there.

302
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,140
You would just cut that for our safe passage.

303
00:18:31,140 --> 00:18:33,299
I want to get back over mowing, more or less.

304
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:33,640
Yeah.

305
00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:36,420
You know, so we can continue mowing and pushing snow.

306
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:37,240
Right.

307
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:44,619
You know, it's probably not going to be cleared all the way, you know, to the full extent of the right way, but the usable part of the right way, anyway.

308
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:51,099
But what I'm concerned about is there's a lot of these trees that are very hazardous trees that we don't have the equipment.

309
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:51,680
We don't have the firewood.

310
00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:51,799
We don't have the truck.

311
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:52,700
No.

312
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:55,140
We don't have to try to hook to some of these and pull them down.

313
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:58,109
And, you know, it's just, some of them are broke.

314
00:18:58,190 --> 00:19:01,630
I mean, they're broke off and bent over at 20 feet.

315
00:19:01,789 --> 00:19:05,230
I mean, there's no, you know, it's not just trees.

316
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:12,579
Do you, have you got any estimates under how many trees?

317
00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:14,039
No.

318
00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:19,279
I mean, I wanted to get your thoughts and get some direction for you before I wasted my time.

319
00:19:19,460 --> 00:19:21,859
Because if you, because I can tell you right now that.

320
00:19:21,859 --> 00:19:27,200
Between mud season and a little bit of gravel we put down, I have no money left for summer maintenance.

321
00:19:28,180 --> 00:19:28,539
So.

322
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,839
A lot of trees.

323
00:19:31,380 --> 00:19:31,900
It's a lot.

324
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:32,680
It's a big mess.

325
00:19:32,740 --> 00:19:33,279
It's going to take.

326
00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:33,619
Yeah, it's a mess.

327
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,579
I mean, for Michael and I to have to take it on, it's going to take us a while.

328
00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:45,140
We don't have any kind of chipper that's, you know, maybe we've got a small one that was on the back of a cove and that really doesn't hardly work.

329
00:19:45,900 --> 00:19:47,859
It'll take the rest of the summer with that.

330
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,839
Would, I know Dave said he doesn't have money.

331
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,420
We don't have a lot.

332
00:19:52,420 --> 00:19:55,819
We don't have a lot in our budget, but would it be worth using some of the ARPA money from?

333
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,140
How much ARPA money do we have left?

334
00:19:59,279 --> 00:20:00,740
I mean, it seems like a year to have a lot.

335
00:20:02,180 --> 00:20:02,579
113.

336
00:20:03,079 --> 00:20:03,599
But did we?

337
00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:07,220
Would it be overly optimistic to have some kind of money in the store?

338
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:07,940
Well, we.

339
00:20:08,579 --> 00:20:09,380
We haven't.

340
00:20:09,380 --> 00:20:12,859
We did reach out to Patrick Wilson from AOT.

341
00:20:14,769 --> 00:20:21,450
Don't quote me on this, but it's usually, I think, you have to go over 20% of what we consider our summer budget.

342
00:20:21,930 --> 00:20:23,450
And it used to be a 60%.

343
00:20:23,630 --> 00:20:25,109
40 split, 60 summer.

344
00:20:25,910 --> 00:20:27,470
It was 61 or 40 summer.

345
00:20:27,630 --> 00:20:30,269
So it makes us easier to qualify for it.

346
00:20:31,690 --> 00:20:34,490
But I don't know if Lori's heard back from him.

347
00:20:34,609 --> 00:20:36,789
And I don't know if it will exceed that threshold.

348
00:20:36,910 --> 00:20:42,170
He did write us back and say this seems to be an isolated incident.

349
00:20:43,009 --> 00:20:51,829
Most of Bennington County was not hit hard for the values to reach probably what it needs to for Bennington County.

350
00:20:53,130 --> 00:20:54,460
We could.

351
00:20:54,779 --> 00:21:00,140
We could get in touch with FEMA and see if we qualify through FEMA.

352
00:21:01,539 --> 00:21:09,019
But he did say keep track of everything and that he would forward numbers to the Vermont Emergency Management Bureau.

353
00:21:09,019 --> 00:21:13,599
And if other people are sending in numbers that it could potentially grow.

354
00:21:13,599 --> 00:21:26,390
And when I remember the point of the Vermont emergency aid is for isolated incidences, because that's when it's not.

355
00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:27,450
That's when you go to FEMA.

356
00:21:27,630 --> 00:21:30,630
So we've used it before.

357
00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:37,819
Can we take a lot of pictures and I think we've got to we can't wait for them.

358
00:21:37,819 --> 00:21:40,079
Yeah, no, we have to do it.

359
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:42,460
Yeah, take a lot of pictures.

360
00:21:42,460 --> 00:21:47,460
Keep track of your time equipment like we do when we have to submit to FEMA.

361
00:21:47,460 --> 00:21:51,750
Do you have companies in mind that you can call?

362
00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:52,750
I don't know.

363
00:21:52,750 --> 00:21:53,750
With that equipment.

364
00:21:53,750 --> 00:21:54,750
I mean, there's a lot of guys.

365
00:21:54,750 --> 00:21:56,750
I've seen one company in town.

366
00:21:56,750 --> 00:21:57,750
I never dealt with them.

367
00:21:57,750 --> 00:21:58,750
What's that?

368
00:21:58,750 --> 00:22:02,940
The Alpha Harbor guy across from Nancy.

369
00:22:02,940 --> 00:22:03,940
Yeah.

370
00:22:03,940 --> 00:22:05,940
Black Diamond was here.

371
00:22:05,940 --> 00:22:06,940
Yeah, I saw them.

372
00:22:06,940 --> 00:22:10,859
They're out of one.

373
00:22:10,859 --> 00:22:12,859
I've used Greater Heights before.

374
00:22:12,859 --> 00:22:14,859
Greater Heights came down?

375
00:22:14,859 --> 00:22:15,859
I've used Greater Heights before.

376
00:22:15,859 --> 00:22:16,859
They were pretty reasonable.

377
00:22:16,859 --> 00:22:19,859
I think they're the ones that took down the ones in the school here.

378
00:22:19,859 --> 00:22:22,470
They were pretty reasonable.

379
00:22:22,470 --> 00:22:27,329
Okay.

380
00:22:27,329 --> 00:22:30,190
Like it's a stretch kind of thing.

381
00:22:30,190 --> 00:22:31,190
We'll be meeting in two weeks.

382
00:22:31,190 --> 00:22:32,190
This is one storm.

383
00:22:32,190 --> 00:22:33,190
We have another couple months of this.

384
00:22:33,190 --> 00:22:34,190
Another couple months of summer.

385
00:22:34,190 --> 00:22:35,190
And then you've got volume.

386
00:22:35,190 --> 00:22:36,190
Right.

387
00:22:36,190 --> 00:22:37,190
That's why I really feel the need to get on some of my normal ditching culverts.

388
00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:38,190
I mean, at risk or answer, I've had the culverts for five years.

389
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:39,190
And I haven't had a chance to get there yet.

390
00:22:39,190 --> 00:22:40,190
And you can drive up there.

391
00:22:40,190 --> 00:22:41,190
You're driving over the culvert.

392
00:22:41,190 --> 00:22:42,190
They're out of the ground.

393
00:22:42,190 --> 00:22:43,190
Oh, I know.

394
00:22:43,190 --> 00:22:44,190
When you're running like the bare minimum, you can't have anything go wrong.

395
00:22:44,190 --> 00:22:45,190
Yeah.

396
00:22:45,190 --> 00:22:46,190
From a scheduling standpoint.

397
00:22:46,190 --> 00:22:47,190
Yeah.

398
00:22:47,190 --> 00:22:48,190
And that's what we've been wanting for 10 years at least.

399
00:22:48,190 --> 00:22:49,190
Oh, I know.

400
00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:50,190
When you're running like the bare minimum, you can't have anything go wrong.

401
00:22:50,190 --> 00:22:51,190
Yeah.

402
00:22:51,190 --> 00:22:52,190
From a scheduling standpoint.

403
00:22:52,190 --> 00:22:53,190
Yeah.

404
00:22:53,190 --> 00:22:54,190
And that's what we've been wanting for 10 years at least.

405
00:22:54,190 --> 00:23:08,890
Dave, so you would go around with whatever company you call, mark the trees, because

406
00:23:08,890 --> 00:23:09,890
we don't want them taking ...

407
00:23:09,890 --> 00:23:10,890
Yeah.

408
00:23:10,890 --> 00:23:11,890
Yeah.

409
00:23:11,890 --> 00:23:12,890
Yeah, yeah.

410
00:23:12,890 --> 00:23:13,890
Yeah.

411
00:23:13,890 --> 00:23:14,890
No, I understand that.

412
00:23:14,890 --> 00:23:15,890
I would say have them check the brush and the stuff that's in the right-of-way.

413
00:23:15,890 --> 00:23:16,890
I mean, we're not going on people's yards.

414
00:23:16,890 --> 00:23:17,890
Right.

415
00:23:17,890 --> 00:23:18,890
Right.

416
00:23:18,890 --> 00:23:19,890
Right.

417
00:23:19,890 --> 00:23:20,890
But the stuff that's in the right-of-way.

418
00:23:20,890 --> 00:23:21,890
And it's pretty obvious.

419
00:23:21,890 --> 00:23:22,890
You go click lane.

420
00:23:22,890 --> 00:23:23,890
Yeah.

421
00:23:23,890 --> 00:23:24,890
Click lane on both sides.

422
00:23:24,890 --> 00:23:25,890
Yes.

423
00:23:25,890 --> 00:23:26,890
It's not good.

424
00:23:26,890 --> 00:23:31,890
I've just pushed to make it convenient to get the road open.

425
00:23:31,890 --> 00:23:32,890
Yeah.

426
00:23:32,890 --> 00:23:37,890
If this company that you do hire, if one of the homeowners says, hey, can you do mine?

427
00:23:37,890 --> 00:23:38,890
Get ours done first.

428
00:23:38,890 --> 00:23:39,890
And then they can go back.

429
00:23:39,890 --> 00:23:40,890
Yeah.

430
00:23:40,890 --> 00:23:41,890
Yeah.

431
00:23:41,890 --> 00:23:42,890
Don't be ...

432
00:23:42,890 --> 00:23:43,890
That stuff happens over paving too.

433
00:23:43,890 --> 00:23:44,890
Yeah.

434
00:23:44,890 --> 00:23:45,890
People want their driveway paved.

435
00:23:45,890 --> 00:23:46,890
Sure.

436
00:23:46,890 --> 00:23:51,890
Typically, the companies won't even entertain it because they don't want to have that problem.

437
00:23:51,890 --> 00:23:52,890
Right.

438
00:23:52,890 --> 00:23:54,019
Yeah.

439
00:23:54,019 --> 00:24:01,180
Well, I don't know how the board feels, but I'd say, let's use the ARCA money, take that,

440
00:24:01,180 --> 00:24:08,529
and in the meantime, see if we qualify for this state emergency, they keep working on

441
00:24:08,529 --> 00:24:10,529
that, and then we can replace the money.

442
00:24:10,529 --> 00:24:13,529
Because I don't know where it's going to come from if we don't.

443
00:24:13,529 --> 00:24:19,529
So do you ... I mean, it's going to delay it some, but do you want me to get different

444
00:24:19,529 --> 00:24:23,529
prices from different, or do you guys want to pick somebody that ... I mean, when we

445
00:24:23,529 --> 00:24:25,529
did the trees in the parking lot, we just called ...

446
00:24:25,529 --> 00:24:32,650
I'd rather give you the permission to go, if you want to get three quotes, I don't think

447
00:24:32,650 --> 00:24:33,650
we need to have them come back.

448
00:24:33,650 --> 00:24:34,650
You're common sense that you're going to get the right guy.

449
00:24:34,650 --> 00:24:35,650
We've got to put a little faith in our workers.

450
00:24:35,650 --> 00:24:36,650
Right.

451
00:24:36,650 --> 00:24:37,650
Right.

452
00:24:37,650 --> 00:24:38,650
Two weeks, we can't wait.

453
00:24:38,650 --> 00:24:39,650
So I would say, if you say ... You might not even get anybody, David.

454
00:24:39,650 --> 00:24:40,650
Right.

455
00:24:40,650 --> 00:24:41,650
Well, that's ...

456
00:24:41,650 --> 00:24:42,650
Other people ...

457
00:24:42,650 --> 00:24:43,650
The other issue is that I'm sure that anybody that's anybody is going to be tied up.

458
00:24:43,650 --> 00:24:44,650
Right.

459
00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:45,650
So I'm just saying, if you know somebody that's going to be tied up ...

460
00:24:45,650 --> 00:24:46,650
Right.

461
00:24:46,650 --> 00:24:47,650
So I'm just saying, if you know somebody that's going to be tied up ...

462
00:24:47,650 --> 00:24:48,650
Right.

463
00:24:48,650 --> 00:24:50,650
So I'm just saying, if you know somebody that's going to be tied up ...

464
00:24:50,650 --> 00:24:53,029
You talk about what's happening to the那hlelar to get a price for��고 ...

465
00:24:53,029 --> 00:24:54,029
Right.

466
00:24:54,029 --> 00:24:55,029
For crawling ...

467
00:24:55,029 --> 00:24:56,029
You talk about what's happening to the那hlelar to get a price forlectric to get a price

468
00:24:56,029 --> 00:24:57,029
...

469
00:24:57,029 --> 00:24:58,369
If you give them a call, the guy says, you know, yeah, I'll do it.

470
00:24:58,369 --> 00:24:59,369
I think we need to.

471
00:24:59,369 --> 00:25:00,369
I think we need to.

472
00:25:00,369 --> 00:25:03,869
I was thinking, the Greater Heights people we've used before, and this Nell

473
00:25:03,869 --> 00:25:05,170
Fire guys lives in town, and so ...

474
00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:11,589
I don't mind if they don't live in a town, at all.

475
00:25:11,589 --> 00:25:17,559
So I think, get a price for maybe both of them, and so ...

476
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:18,559
Sure.

477
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:19,559
Yup, if you get a ...

478
00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:20,559
When it comes ...

479
00:25:20,559 --> 00:25:26,640
wants to work with and when they can come and work with your schedule and if for some reason

480
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:32,160
it seems like this ridiculous number i'm going to hold off and talk to you about it yeah yeah

481
00:25:34,619 --> 00:25:43,420
if it's 10 grand then like i don't know i don't know i was going to say that well it's usually

482
00:25:43,420 --> 00:25:51,079
500 a tree i think normally around let's see a lot of these are you know use your common sense

483
00:25:51,079 --> 00:25:55,720
and i'd be interested in taking a ride around with you and yeah giving you an idea of what it

484
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:04,170
might cost okay uh do we want to make a motion to do that and let's go with it i'll make a second

485
00:26:04,970 --> 00:26:08,730
when when are you available all in favor

486
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:28,779
i'm usually pretty close and not too far and if you can keep in touch with what's what's his name

487
00:26:28,779 --> 00:26:32,089
um who was the fellow

488
00:26:32,250 --> 00:26:43,920
that you talked to patrick wilson what else dave i think that's pretty much it

489
00:26:44,809 --> 00:26:49,210
we're going to start switching over to ditching and doing culverts the mulling was done we went

490
00:26:49,210 --> 00:26:55,930
around and did a bunch of regrading and some of the spots that had the wheel sacks the water

491
00:26:56,809 --> 00:27:02,490
and some washboards and did some bunch of chloride yeah so i was on the shirt road the shirt road

492
00:27:02,490 --> 00:27:07,210
looked really nice looked like you might have just chlorinated it maybe within the last couple weeks

493
00:27:08,009 --> 00:27:18,559
the other day yeah it looks it looks nice um on roads we got an email from wade mercer from dlct

494

495
00:27:26,460 --> 00:27:33,339
couple of them that are low priority medium priority if we could start picking away if you

496
00:27:33,339 --> 00:27:38,700
could start picking away i keep saying we but at least show them that we have good faith and we're

497
00:27:38,940 --> 00:27:45,079
trying to do this so the email sounded like he came back but then he said if you already did

498
00:27:45,079 --> 00:27:50,519
some of this let me know yeah and i was kind of confused to that where you're saying well here's

499
00:27:50,519 --> 00:27:56,839
my suggestions you didn't do any suggestions but if you did do suggestions let me know did he even

500
00:27:56,839 --> 00:28:01,480
come back and he doesn't even know he didn't do it right okay that's what i do i was like this

501
00:28:02,279 --> 00:28:08,200
it didn't sound right yeah he did some suggestions that he had the last time you know some of them

502
00:28:09,319 --> 00:28:17,440
weeds um i don't know the last button press talk to the actual person but that that's the

503
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,759
point you know you hear me saying that you're a little curly looking my name is jeff you may

504
00:28:21,759 --> 00:28:25,539
have heute let's leave ya here on y'all and bones angry myWorld it's gonna happen

505
00:28:25,539 --> 00:28:31,119
so that person that passes on the note that peter will give you is the people you've already

506
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,279
rescued from the museum they're supposed to pick the past hour but there's two winners

507
00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:36,240
you've picked in order of anything that's here we're just talking about not

508
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,519
enough time and now we've got to do this yeah it's it's like the the railing i mean

509
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,480
okay, what am I going to do with Graham?

510
00:28:42,579 --> 00:28:43,700
What's going to make him happy?

511
00:28:44,740 --> 00:28:45,980
You know, I can do it.

512
00:28:46,859 --> 00:28:48,000
That's not what I do.

513
00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:50,839
So I've already done it before,

514
00:28:51,099 --> 00:28:53,630
and he was good with it,

515
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:54,809
and now he's not good with it.

516
00:28:56,089 --> 00:28:58,750
Sometimes I feel like it's a waste of time.

517
00:28:59,029 --> 00:28:59,950
These are suggestions.

518
00:29:00,869 --> 00:29:03,470
There's nothing that's just let out dangerous.

519
00:29:03,470 --> 00:29:07,109
Well, that's the feeling I got from the email was,

520
00:29:07,650 --> 00:29:08,470
he's saying the word suggestion,

521
00:29:09,170 --> 00:29:09,690
but then he's saying,

522
00:29:09,690 --> 00:29:10,490
and you didn't do it,

523
00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:12,569
and it sounds to me like it's not a suggestion.

524
00:29:13,230 --> 00:29:14,470
It's a command.

525
00:29:15,069 --> 00:29:16,730
I want you to get this done.

526
00:29:16,930 --> 00:29:18,390
I'm like, well, that doesn't make sense.

527
00:29:18,529 --> 00:29:20,269
Insurance company wants no risk.

528
00:29:20,650 --> 00:29:22,609
And I'm not saying they're not good suggestions,

529
00:29:22,890 --> 00:29:25,069
but do I go out and dig the ditch

530
00:29:25,069 --> 00:29:26,269
so we don't lose the road

531
00:29:26,269 --> 00:29:27,710
and somebody crashes their car,

532
00:29:27,809 --> 00:29:32,269
or do I fix the handrail again that they may or may not?

533
00:29:32,269 --> 00:29:33,769
I think we just have to show them

534
00:29:33,769 --> 00:29:35,269
that we're working on the list.

535
00:29:35,650 --> 00:29:37,789
I mean, some of the things like ordering an eyewash fountain

536
00:29:37,789 --> 00:29:39,109
that they can just put two screws in

537
00:29:39,109 --> 00:29:39,670
and put on the wall,

538
00:29:39,690 --> 00:29:40,289
it's not a big time.

539
00:29:40,289 --> 00:29:40,609
That's easy.

540
00:29:41,509 --> 00:29:43,250
What was the deal with the wood stove?

541
00:29:43,609 --> 00:29:44,910
It was like a medium risk,

542
00:29:45,029 --> 00:29:45,990
so that would probably be something

543
00:29:45,990 --> 00:29:47,769
we should probably look at more.

544
00:29:49,750 --> 00:29:53,859
That's been an area that he doesn't like.

545
00:29:54,740 --> 00:29:56,059
Not because of the type of stove.

546
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,359
It's just because you're burning wood.

547
00:29:57,779 --> 00:29:58,759
You're still building.

548
00:29:59,599 --> 00:30:01,839
The wood stove we have now is actually,

549
00:30:01,940 --> 00:30:03,400
you know, EPA.

550
00:30:05,099 --> 00:30:06,779
It's got actual numbers and everything.

551
00:30:06,980 --> 00:30:08,480
The old one was just a homemade.

552
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:08,880
Right.

553
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,339
It really didn't like that.

554
00:30:10,359 --> 00:30:11,680
What was the other one, Nancy,

555
00:30:11,819 --> 00:30:12,799
that was a medium risk?

556
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:16,599
It was the lockout tag out

557
00:30:16,599 --> 00:30:17,880
for anybody working there.

558
00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:20,509
Get a lock right out.

559
00:30:21,009 --> 00:30:24,500
Well, he suggested making something

560
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:26,140
that goes on the wall that we,

561
00:30:27,019 --> 00:30:28,880
you know, you take the keys out of it

562
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:29,740
and you hang the keys on the wall.

563
00:30:29,740 --> 00:30:29,980
Yeah.

564
00:30:30,420 --> 00:30:32,299
It's Mike and me working there.

565
00:30:32,319 --> 00:30:32,660
I know.

566
00:30:32,779 --> 00:30:35,259
Yeah, that's the world we live in.

567
00:30:36,220 --> 00:30:38,660
And every other contractor has their own lockout.

568
00:30:38,660 --> 00:30:40,079
You're supposed to each have your own lock

569
00:30:40,079 --> 00:30:40,160
and your own key.

570
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:40,559
We don't.

571
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,799
It's like the GFCI outlets.

572
00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:45,579
Yeah, I mean.

573
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,160
Change one or, but you can't do it.

574
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:49,720
You have to change them.

575
00:30:50,099 --> 00:30:51,200
Yeah, you can't do it.

576
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,579
It's not that I can't do it.

577
00:30:53,980 --> 00:30:57,900
It's just, it's like a take your pick thing.

578
00:30:58,019 --> 00:30:59,140
There's no sitting around.

579
00:30:59,339 --> 00:31:02,400
There's two people and I'm not complaining about it.

580
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,980
Some of this stuff is just, you know,

581
00:31:05,019 --> 00:31:07,259
there's always all these other extra things.

582
00:31:07,259 --> 00:31:08,539
You know, there are these storms.

583
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,279
Every time it rains hard, I've got to go, you know,

584
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:14,440
check stuff and make sure there isn't issues for the next time.

585
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,339
Because when it rains as hard as it's been,

586
00:31:16,339 --> 00:31:19,059
it takes all of the debris and plugs stuff up,

587
00:31:19,059 --> 00:31:20,839
whether it be a ditch or a culvert.

588
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:24,339
So, you know, so that's a whole lost day every time it rains hard.

589
00:31:24,339 --> 00:31:27,099
You get two days in a row, you go right back around.

590
00:31:27,099 --> 00:31:30,039
What does he want with heat smoke detectors?

591
00:31:30,039 --> 00:31:31,099
Do you have any up there?

592
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:38,680
Maybe grab one somewhere and don't open the wood stove.

593
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,480
Don't open the wood stove.

594
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:41,880
Where do you put the smoke detector?

595
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,980
We've got ceilings that are, you know, how do you get it up there?

596
00:31:44,980 --> 00:31:45,380
Yeah.

597
00:31:45,380 --> 00:31:46,380
I can't do that.

598
00:31:46,380 --> 00:31:47,380
It's sticking on the wall.

599
00:31:47,380 --> 00:31:48,380
It's sticking on the wall.

600
00:31:48,380 --> 00:31:49,380
If you clutter your mind up too much.

601
00:31:49,380 --> 00:31:50,380
It's sticking on the wall.

602
00:31:50,380 --> 00:31:51,380
Yeah.

603
00:31:51,380 --> 00:31:52,380
By the eye wash.

604
00:31:52,380 --> 00:31:53,380
When you're smithing in someone like David's

605
00:31:53,380 --> 00:31:56,380
and you clutter your mind up too much with little frivolous stuff like this.

606
00:31:56,380 --> 00:31:57,380
I know.

607
00:31:57,380 --> 00:31:58,380
The burnout rate is way higher.

608
00:31:58,380 --> 00:31:59,380
Yeah.

609
00:31:59,380 --> 00:32:00,380
You just fry, you fry it.

610
00:32:00,380 --> 00:32:01,380
You're like a punchless guy.

611
00:32:01,380 --> 00:32:02,380
Yes.

612
00:32:02,380 --> 00:32:03,380
Thank you.

613
00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:04,480
Yeah.

614
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:05,480
The third guy.

615
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:06,480
You'll, you'll fry your mind.

616
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:07,579
I knew that was coming.

617
00:32:07,579 --> 00:32:08,579
You'll burn out.

618
00:32:08,579 --> 00:32:09,579
Yep.

619
00:32:09,579 --> 00:32:16,079
It's not, it's beyond that because like the third guy's going to be right around and right

620
00:32:16,079 --> 00:32:17,079
with Mike and I.

621
00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:24,359
It's not, these things here, if I just stopped and did all these other things, what really

622
00:32:24,359 --> 00:32:26,359
mattered would never get done.

623
00:32:26,359 --> 00:32:31,359
Well, I hear, this is what bothers me is we have an insurance company coming in and saying

624
00:32:31,359 --> 00:32:34,400
you have to, these suggestions we have to get.

625
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:39,400
But then when you go and you hire someone, they got to have a liability and they have

626
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,400
to have licenses and you know, so now that costs big bucks.

627
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,900
If you had a handyman that was running around and said, now if he works for the town, he

628
00:32:47,900 --> 00:32:50,900
doesn't necessarily have to have a license and put a railing up.

629
00:32:50,900 --> 00:32:54,900
But if you hire someone, you've got to have a contractor with a license.

630
00:32:54,900 --> 00:32:55,900
Right.

631
00:32:55,900 --> 00:32:59,900
You know, I know guys that put that railing up and they'll, they'll be happy to do it

632
00:32:59,900 --> 00:33:04,019
for 20 bucks an hour because they're looking for work, but they don't have a license and

633
00:33:04,019 --> 00:33:05,019
you can't hire those guys.

634
00:33:05,019 --> 00:33:07,019
Just like we were talking about the lawn mowing.

635
00:33:07,019 --> 00:33:09,019
You got to have a guy with liability insurance and all that stuff.

636
00:33:09,019 --> 00:33:13,019
You can't hire a guy in town that will be happy to blow up for less money.

637
00:33:13,019 --> 00:33:17,019
And it's getting to the point where our hands are tied on every single thing we move.

638
00:33:17,019 --> 00:33:19,019
And John just said it, it's the world we live in.

639
00:33:19,019 --> 00:33:22,019
It's the insurance companies and the lawyers that are killing us.

640
00:33:22,019 --> 00:33:27,019
The school use when they need to have like smoke alarms and stuff like that for them.

641
00:33:27,019 --> 00:33:29,019
Is it still Pierce?

642
00:33:29,019 --> 00:33:31,019
No, McClain?

643
00:33:31,019 --> 00:33:32,059
I don't know.

644
00:33:32,059 --> 00:33:33,059
It was McClain.

645
00:33:33,059 --> 00:33:37,059
Maybe it would be worth having him put in a bid for it and just having him take care

646
00:33:37,059 --> 00:33:38,059
of it, you know.

647
00:33:38,059 --> 00:33:40,059
Well, he's just an electrician.

648
00:33:40,059 --> 00:33:45,059
So you got smoke alarms and you got the outlets.

649
00:33:45,059 --> 00:33:50,059
But now you got to have your rail lines and your eye wash.

650
00:33:50,059 --> 00:33:52,059
You know, I'm not saying don't do it.

651
00:33:52,059 --> 00:33:56,059
I'm just saying I feel your pain in business.

652
00:33:56,059 --> 00:34:01,059
The insurance companies come in, OSHA comes in, the state comes in, and they all have

653
00:34:01,059 --> 00:34:02,059
different ideas.

654
00:34:02,059 --> 00:34:07,059
They literally will make you get rid of a coffee pot if it doesn't work.

655
00:34:07,059 --> 00:34:09,059
They're not going to justify their jobs.

656
00:34:09,059 --> 00:34:10,059
Sure.

657
00:34:10,059 --> 00:34:11,059
And that's exactly what it is.

658
00:34:11,059 --> 00:34:12,059
They're not in there because they care about your safety.

659
00:34:12,059 --> 00:34:13,059
They're in there to justify their job.

660
00:34:13,059 --> 00:34:14,059
I truly believe that's most of their reason.

661
00:34:14,059 --> 00:34:15,059
And I'm not saying don't do it.

662
00:34:15,059 --> 00:34:16,059
But I agree with Nancy.

663
00:34:16,059 --> 00:34:17,059
We should do, you know, get the eye wash.

664
00:34:17,059 --> 00:34:18,059
I have no problem with that.

665
00:34:18,059 --> 00:34:19,059
Get it.

666
00:34:19,059 --> 00:34:20,059
Do a couple things.

667
00:34:20,059 --> 00:34:21,059
What are the emergency lights?

668
00:34:21,059 --> 00:34:22,059
They just need batteries, I think he said.

669
00:34:22,059 --> 00:34:23,059
Yeah, probably.

670
00:34:23,059 --> 00:34:24,059
If you can't get the battery, you can hurry and try to replace the whole thing.

671
00:34:24,059 --> 00:34:25,059
It'd be easier.

672
00:34:25,059 --> 00:34:26,059
Yes.

673
00:34:26,059 --> 00:34:27,059
Yeah.

674
00:34:27,059 --> 00:34:28,059
Yeah.

675
00:34:28,059 --> 00:34:29,059
Yeah.

676
00:34:29,059 --> 00:34:30,059
Yeah.

677
00:34:30,059 --> 00:34:31,059
Yeah.

678
00:34:31,059 --> 00:34:32,059
Yeah.

679
00:34:32,059 --> 00:34:33,059
Yeah.

680
00:34:33,059 --> 00:34:34,059
Yeah.

681
00:34:34,059 --> 00:34:35,059
Yeah.

682
00:34:35,059 --> 00:34:36,059
Yeah.

683
00:34:36,059 --> 00:34:37,059
Yeah.

684
00:34:37,059 --> 00:34:38,059
Yep.

685
00:34:38,059 --> 00:34:41,840
The reality of it is is that I'm going to go to work tomorrow and I'm going to forget

686
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:47,199
about all this stuff because it's like I'm going to get bogged down in the head.

687
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:48,199
I know.

688
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:53,260
I mean, it's so hard to keep things going nowadays.

689
00:34:53,260 --> 00:34:56,360
Like, if I break a bowl and it's bigger than, you know.

690
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,360
Right.

691
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,360
It's a 3 inch bowl.

692
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,360
Yeah.

693
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:00,360
Or if it's a 3 quarter inch bowl-

694
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,360
You can't get it in the town.

695
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:02,360
Oh.

696
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,360
Like, I waste half a day going to get one bowl to keep something running.

697
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,360
Right.

698
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,599
fastener yeah and they don't have it and then they said well we can get it tomorrow morning

699
00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:16,800
if that's the case cover me all these things i'll get it faster going down the road and

700
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:23,719
our ram just died it seemed like it ran out of fuel so i tow it back to the garage

701
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:29,639
and spent you know a day figuring out what was wrong with that i mean there's all it's just

702
00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:37,289
yep i prioritize weekly but daily you know it's all of a sudden something comes up

703
00:35:37,489 --> 00:35:41,949
and you just have to get through it you have to have the truck running to do the rest of it

704
00:35:41,949 --> 00:35:46,550
right we understand it yeah it's smoother in your head right and then you try to go do it

705
00:35:46,550 --> 00:35:50,050
and you're going to expect them to throw the wrench that's what keeps me in business is

706
00:35:50,050 --> 00:35:57,210
there's no harvest i mean i make parts because they can't buy it oh i i ordered this and it's

707
00:35:57,210 --> 00:36:02,010
coming out of china it's going to take six months and it's 400 bucks and i'm like yeah i can make

708
00:36:02,010 --> 00:36:07,440
that and it's twelve hundred dollars making because i can't wait you know and that's where

709
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:07,599
we're at

710
00:36:07,619 --> 00:36:12,500
right now dude they just closed the hardware store in north end let's close it oh i'm sean

711
00:36:12,500 --> 00:36:16,900
see now you gotta drive a little farther right yeah there's a beach and stand a little light

712
00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:24,860
there it's just it's always there's when you pay for a half inch bowl a half inch bowl you're

713
00:36:24,860 --> 00:36:30,130
paying seven dollars for a half inch ball i could buy the whole box for that yeah but that's what

714
00:36:30,130 --> 00:36:35,809
they got you for some of the smaller stuff we have an assortment that yeah trying to keep handy

715
00:36:37,409 --> 00:36:37,969
down the street

716
00:36:38,289 --> 00:36:48,530
well think about it see which one you can work on and i'll look it over again i thought the eyewash

717
00:36:48,530 --> 00:36:55,250
seemed like we were trying yeah yeah that's something you should have something yeah we do

718
00:36:55,250 --> 00:37:02,500
but it's not good enough for what they say i've got two bottles they're mounted on the wall and

719
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:07,780
if you got something in your eye you could wash i mean you have something that's not good enough for

720
00:37:07,780 --> 00:37:08,260
your life

721
00:37:09,090 --> 00:37:13,570
so it's like everything else it's it's okay but they suggest something better

722
00:37:13,570 --> 00:37:17,809
right or get the emergency lights but i think they've got to be hooked up to

723
00:37:17,809 --> 00:37:20,289
electricians that'll come up there yeah there's something telling me

724
00:37:20,289 --> 00:37:23,570
he's trying to tell you yeah it comes out it says exit i know where the exit is

725
00:37:25,730 --> 00:37:31,250
i know this is how my mind works is that a priority no not at all

726
00:37:33,409 --> 00:37:38,610
a structure up there he's supposed to have the structure he's like the only guy who's going to be

727
00:37:38,769 --> 00:37:44,929
carrying me on the structure exactly down the way for someone yeah but he's got a head it's not that

728
00:37:44,929 --> 00:37:50,210
i'm trying to ignore it but i know that i just can't because i'm in the road in the washerway

729
00:37:50,210 --> 00:37:54,690
next time i thunderstorm the road in the posture and you're like well how are you working on that

730
00:37:54,690 --> 00:38:03,039
light right aren't you the highway the firemen it's just there's no end i mean the roof needs

731
00:38:03,039 --> 00:38:08,719
to be fixed the doors need to be fixed all right did you get a quote on the doors yet he didn't get

732
00:38:09,599 --> 00:38:15,199
okay i'm more concerned though yep use the harper money for the electrical fixes and

733
00:38:15,199 --> 00:38:23,679
stuff like that or no the lights i think we could put that on one big ball of maintenance

734
00:38:23,679 --> 00:38:28,159
completely yeah that's what i would do i mean i wouldn't just say it's for this light it's for

735
00:38:29,039 --> 00:38:31,920
your maintenance 40 000 for the maintenance

736
00:38:33,679 --> 00:38:38,719
did you get any quotes on the roof or anything on that or no i can i just didn't that's good

737
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:45,039
we're trying to get some clarification on this grant that we're hopefully going to put in for

738
00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:51,199
because we've got the audit so they come through the energy audit and then tell us what their

739
00:38:51,199 --> 00:38:56,400
findings are and then we fill out paper which doesn't even exist at this point so we're not

740
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:03,119
behind we're on the list right so for the inspection i thought once they did the assessment

741
00:39:03,119 --> 00:39:09,039
then we could implement what they said like i thought money followed this but what she said was

742
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:15,920
hoping that there's no money out there yet so this assessment is basically just going to be

743
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:22,960
informational and then maybe next year or the year after you can apply on a competitive level for a

744
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:29,599
grant that you may or may not get have we have they come down to do the assessment yet well they

745
00:39:29,599 --> 00:39:34,719
they're they're scheduling it right right that's the class i remember you saying they're scheduling

746
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,079
it so which we've been going on for how long

747
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,440
especially this is the problem i have with everything is you can't get

748
00:39:44,590 --> 00:39:51,340
anybody to do their job anymore everything is just like the sweeper this year called the sweeper we

749
00:39:51,340 --> 00:40:00,510
signed his contract where is he you're supposed to be here in april may not using him again yep

750
00:40:00,510 --> 00:40:06,050
doesn't i mean i think it's we we're going to be fine without doing it but i called them numerous

751
00:40:06,050 --> 00:40:09,650
times called the cell phone and they're still in business that time you've done it's because it's

752
00:40:09,650 --> 00:40:10,769
snowing yep no way

753
00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:16,690
yeah why bother at this point right hard to find a good problem so and who else does it

754
00:40:16,690 --> 00:40:21,650
there really isn't we've had both of them and i've had issues with both of them both companies

755
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,760
that's why i went to this other one because the other guy didn't ever show up either

756
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:34,190
the town of stanford is not anybody's priority no we're not we don't buy big does the uh

757
00:40:34,190 --> 00:40:42,940
pizzi loan tractor have one he can run we may go do something with the loader where we can get it

758
00:40:43,500 --> 00:40:50,579
a sweeper a three-throw has one that's on the front of it but it's a it's a day a year i mean

759
00:40:50,579 --> 00:40:54,980
it's kind of yeah yeah you know how much do you spend on something like that you usually don't

760
00:40:54,980 --> 00:41:00,019
rent something that's different things that have the uh protection yeah you can go in there and

761
00:41:00,019 --> 00:41:06,820
have three years or something okay so we're so we're small if we don't want that's a good

762
00:41:06,820 --> 00:41:12,900
suggestion though could you would reasonable would it fit on our tractor or not um i don't know yeah

763
00:41:13,860 --> 00:41:20,099
on their loader can we borrow their loader for one day i didn't want to break as well yeah

764
00:41:22,260 --> 00:41:27,780
but it might be an idea to hire them out no we don't even borrow it have their man come and do

765
00:41:27,780 --> 00:41:32,500
it for us for one day we'll pay them we didn't ask it wouldn't hurt and ask get it for next

766
00:41:32,500 --> 00:41:39,809
year because if you said we don't need it this year most of the roads are clean now yeah and

767
00:41:39,809 --> 00:41:44,960
some of that the sweeping was something that i think years ago we used more sand on the

768
00:41:45,199 --> 00:41:50,480
blacktop it was really something to be done and now it's kind of a hitting this thing it's nice

769
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:55,920
because it keeps the grass starts to creep out on the blacktop and the sweeper kind of keeps

770
00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:03,650
you know the road away and it does pick up some debris but you know you get a thunderstorm or

771
00:42:03,650 --> 00:42:11,920
two and you can't tell if we swept or not you got their back on the road so you guys don't have time

772
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:16,880
as well with the hands if that's what you want me to do i'll do anything you guys want me to do

773
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:24,320
but i just know the reality of it is i know what's what's a priority what isn't and i never seem to

774
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:36,800
get everything needed done which for the most part works we get by but if you stop to do these other

775
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:49,619
things it's not it's not okay what else on roads laurie put in our box the culvert on sportsman's

776
00:42:49,619 --> 00:42:50,900
road a diagram

777
00:42:52,179 --> 00:42:59,809
yeah oh that's right the conceptual design so kind of what i'm saying about that project it's

778
00:42:59,809 --> 00:43:13,500
not quite as simple as is just going up there and throwing a bigger club in it yes have you

779
00:43:13,500 --> 00:43:18,539
talked to elfinwealth at all um well they came down here yeah i'm on that board if you want me

780
00:43:18,539 --> 00:43:25,019
to pass it well i can if you want to take on them yeah i just got this today so okay because

781
00:43:25,019 --> 00:43:29,329
i can just talk to mike cool about it yeah something i can turn it off

782
00:43:30,210 --> 00:43:37,940
so maybe oh way down there you should get the actual hydrological

783
00:43:43,780 --> 00:43:48,579
so it's like there's two different hands in the state this one's doing this

784
00:43:50,019 --> 00:43:53,539
so the hydraulic study addresses the culvert that's there

785
00:43:54,500 --> 00:43:59,539
and then the stream alteration guy who gives you the permit to do the project

786
00:44:00,579 --> 00:44:01,139
does this

787
00:44:01,619 --> 00:44:07,059
it says oh this is the alteration almost looks like they're putting it back where the original

788
00:44:07,059 --> 00:44:11,699
stream that's exactly what they just bent it down the road here they probably because it's

789
00:44:11,699 --> 00:44:17,139
one culvert instead of two well when they did it like that yeah that's why they did it like that

790
00:44:17,139 --> 00:44:23,179
years ago they wanted to cheapen it up so so basically in talking to stream alteration

791
00:44:23,900 --> 00:44:30,449
specialist or whatever you want because of the grade's not very steep there i was going to set

792
00:44:30,449 --> 00:44:31,409
it back enough

793
00:44:32,769 --> 00:44:37,090
so even if you put a bigger culvert in you're having the same issues that's going to plug

794
00:44:37,090 --> 00:44:44,739
that culvert around they suggested raising the road foot to be able to get in a bigger culvert

795
00:44:44,739 --> 00:44:50,590
in that area we'd have to raise the row of foot just to put in something bigger and you can read

796
00:44:52,030 --> 00:45:00,639
this other hydraulic study on it and you know a massive speed bump yeah yeah it's

797
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,960
yeah unfortunately this like john said this is the world we live in

798
00:45:05,679 --> 00:45:11,409
where i don't just go out and fix the problem everybody else has control it would take you two

799
00:45:11,409 --> 00:45:17,570
years to get all the approvals yeah i mean the army corps engineers actually 50 then you got to

800
00:45:17,570 --> 00:45:23,969
go to the landowners apple wall and some of this so you got i mean that's unbelievable so they're

801
00:45:23,969 --> 00:45:28,530
going to move the culvert down on suzanne drive this is what it looks like right is that what

802
00:45:28,530 --> 00:45:34,769
they want to do yeah okay so it'd be two culverts so it'd be two and a half yeah oh up there and down

803
00:45:34,769 --> 00:45:39,650
right right and you watch her work in the woods so what about that little stream that comes down

804
00:45:40,610 --> 00:45:47,920
almost across from suzanne drive it was running i was running not too much

805
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:56,079
but when it rains i'm sure it's gonna come right down into the old probably the

806
00:45:56,079 --> 00:46:01,550
old cover culver unless they take that one up because there's still one coming down from the

807
00:46:01,550 --> 00:46:05,869
woods were they going to leave that color yeah you leave the ones there it's not fake

808
00:46:05,869 --> 00:46:12,030
it's just when you get it yeah it's to get is to put extra water somewhere yeah yeah well that's

809
00:46:12,030 --> 00:46:18,460
what this can't hold the capacity yeah if you put a bigger culvert in there so instead of having a

810
00:46:18,460 --> 00:46:23,440
floodplain that's basically what you have now in that culvert it makes the road and the surrounding

811
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:28,719
area floodplain so it disperses the energy so once you send it all through the culvert

812
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:33,280
what do you think it's going to do to where it's coming out i mean it's going to gut right down

813
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:38,320
by that guy's garage like you you think you're fixing the problem but you're not and that's why

814
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:43,599
they come up with this other plant well you get a drop on the other side of any culvert you get

815
00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:49,199
dropped yeah so yeah but now you're putting all the water instead of just fanning it out

816
00:46:50,079 --> 00:46:56,690
so it's gonna you know it's gonna channelize even more so maybe the new floodplain yeah

817
00:46:57,730 --> 00:47:01,409
that's what would have happened you would you end up it probably comes down all through and

818
00:47:01,409 --> 00:47:03,889
go right through your house after because now you're sending all

819
00:47:04,050 --> 00:47:12,369
of it which is why we have what plane and why they try not to let you go they want to not have

820
00:47:12,369 --> 00:47:18,130
that issue you fix your problem just move it out yeah when i come in and color your trees down

821
00:47:18,130 --> 00:47:25,360
really okay um anything else then dave

822
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:30,719
recycling

823
00:47:33,070 --> 00:47:35,150
close the recycling center because we had

824
00:47:35,389 --> 00:47:41,380
power yesterday right yeah and i didn't notice any bags up there

825
00:47:42,340 --> 00:47:47,059
last night nobody threw them over or came out there so that was good yeah i don't think anybody

826
00:47:47,059 --> 00:47:54,369
went in there good um i did have a call from somebody from the state i don't know if we took

827
00:47:54,369 --> 00:48:01,820
air conditioners and air conditioners are still on our list i think they emailed me and i emailed

828
00:48:01,820 --> 00:48:05,900
them back a sheet with all of our fees and we do take our

829
00:48:06,219 --> 00:48:07,420
but we took it off the list

830
00:48:10,559 --> 00:48:16,400
i thought because it's got the freon refrigerated and they were i thought we were gonna all that

831
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:22,179
stuff was gonna go down to that we said take them down to north adams

832
00:48:24,659 --> 00:48:28,659
save them for that guy with the refrigerator somebody tried to bring it to that and they

833
00:48:28,659 --> 00:48:36,260
won't pay it to north adams oh just oh yeah yeah somebody has to like manually

834
00:48:36,579 --> 00:48:40,579
remove that freon out of there you can't just throw it out right there used to be a guy in

835
00:48:40,579 --> 00:48:45,380
clarkford that would always supposed to attack them i don't think the whole freon is now worth

836
00:48:45,380 --> 00:48:51,380
about five thousand dollars a pound really yeah there's whole businesses where people go around

837
00:48:51,380 --> 00:48:56,659
and just drain the refrigerator so somebody called because they wanted to get rid of their

838
00:48:56,659 --> 00:49:07,039
air conditioner and what did we tell them i didn't speak to the person um it was the swift

839
00:49:07,119 --> 00:49:13,039
people who received the call you know what you know what you know well this is the easiest idea

840
00:49:13,039 --> 00:49:18,000
why not still on the list it sounds like we don't we don't we have to take it off we probably should

841
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:24,800
it off yeah yeah what's i think from this moment on we're gonna take it off yeah it's probably gonna

842
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:32,460
cost you money do we take those people do we take refrigerators we take those anymore we we had this

843
00:49:32,460 --> 00:49:36,619
discussion a lot yeah we did up the last year

844
00:49:37,340 --> 00:49:43,019
storm for that guy up in the air there are we taking them off the list and then there's

845
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:49,500
who's that we had a new recycling place in adam yeah i know the guys the guy that owns it i know

846
00:49:49,500 --> 00:49:53,579
him real well i'm just referring to that i don't i can't remember the name i mentioned that meeting

847
00:49:54,139 --> 00:49:58,860
because they take mattresses yeah yeah i could i can look into that if you want nasty

848
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:07,119
and can the individual people bring them down could i bring my mattress down or my i'll ask

849
00:50:07,599 --> 00:50:17,650
them or does it have to be a town or store so maybe when we review our informational sheet for

850
00:50:18,289 --> 00:50:30,449
starting november 1st for the limits of changes i mean they they don't just take them he charges

851
00:50:30,449 --> 00:50:34,449
to take them of course right the same thing with the mattress we never do anything yeah

852
00:50:36,449 --> 00:50:40,690
yeah i can get a price list for what he takes i want to take them to your town and then bring them

853
00:50:40,690 --> 00:50:45,409
to him i would just refer stuff like that to like hey if you've got a refrigerator or air conditioner

854
00:50:45,570 --> 00:50:54,099
call this guy and you let them if you want to get rid of let them pay it yeah that'd be good

855
00:50:54,099 --> 00:50:59,699
on the informational sheet about what we take and don't take to have some links yeah if we don't

856
00:50:59,699 --> 00:51:06,800
take it yeah right i think we did say that one time that was just in the selection minutes yeah

857
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:11,199
i think more than takes pretty much everything but they charge you you know it just costs money

858
00:51:11,199 --> 00:51:16,639
to get rid of stuff but they wouldn't take it from stanford you have no i mean i haven't

859
00:51:17,519 --> 00:51:24,719
done that yeah i mean i mean i bring up stuff from northlands all the time i have a dump trailer

860
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:29,119
i fill right up and bring it up there there's certain things that like you said if there's

861
00:51:29,119 --> 00:51:33,920
a refrigerator in there you have to separate it you take charge of x amount of dollars for that

862
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:41,460
and then that demo and stuff like that goes into the trash there's no difference they charge about

863
00:51:41,460 --> 00:51:53,070
a pound it's not cheap you work over a scale there's your money um anything else on recycling

864
00:51:57,039 --> 00:52:04,059
the emergency management um i guess bill gave lori a couple bills that we have to pay for the

865
00:52:04,699 --> 00:52:13,780
fire truck now we got to the point where they delivered the cabin chassis and that's a hundred

866
00:52:13,780 --> 00:52:27,099
and seven thousand dollars and some miscellaneous 107 670 and at the same time we're getting credit

867
00:52:28,690 --> 00:52:34,289
on four hundred and twenty nine dollars and three cents for paying for that chassis now

868
00:52:36,130 --> 00:52:42,460
rather than when the engines delivered because it saves them having to finance it

869
00:52:44,619 --> 00:52:52,139
so the 107 is with the credit with the four thousand dollars credit the 107

870
00:52:53,360 --> 00:53:00,960
has to be paid the credit comes off of the 525 000 okay for the engine okay

871
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:12,829
get 521. okay so there's money there's uh with the 50 000 that was appropriated this year there'll

872
00:53:12,829 --> 00:53:23,070
be 232 000 in the fire department uh account so we have no problem paying this 107 out of there

873
00:53:23,710 --> 00:53:26,269
yep that's where it's supposed to come from yep okay

874
00:53:27,869 --> 00:53:33,789
yeah i don't know why we even keep that money why does it why don't we give it right to the fire

875
00:53:34,030 --> 00:53:40,719
department i mean it's a warrant article it's a warrant article i don't know why we keep track of

876
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:48,929
it i mean you're a separate entity you're not it's invested yeah yeah i guess and so we're taking

877
00:53:48,929 --> 00:54:00,210
advantage of the best opportunity lori hasn't invested i didn't make the decision i guess

878
00:54:00,210 --> 00:54:04,849
i'm going to say it was always done that way but it's good to keep an eye on it too we have

879
00:54:05,409 --> 00:54:07,760
we can see what's going on it's good for the taxpayers

880
00:54:08,639 --> 00:54:16,909
it's almost like it's a replacement fund yeah so we've accepted we've already authorized

881
00:54:16,909 --> 00:54:28,690
disbursement of it and then we have the numbers that are coming up to consider because with the

882
00:54:28,690 --> 00:54:41,710
money that will come in 26 and 27 that's how far we had authorized a town meeting at 50 000 a year

883
00:54:41,710 --> 00:54:44,190
from 23 to

884
00:54:44,210 --> 00:54:50,989
27 is going to leave 141 000 on

885
00:54:56,769 --> 00:55:07,840
so if we get to the point where we ask to continue that replacement fund at 50 000 a year

886
00:55:08,989 --> 00:55:11,550
it'll cover the interest on what's borrowed and

887
00:55:12,929 --> 00:55:19,889
all in an additional three years so be 28 29 30 and it's done okay i was going to

888
00:55:19,969 --> 00:55:27,380
say we you don't think we should borrow the money now and pay the interest oh we are going to have

889
00:55:27,380 --> 00:55:35,300
to borrow that money before 27 comes up at the end of this year okay yeah well yeah those interest

890
00:55:35,300 --> 00:55:39,460
rates are still going up that's all i'm saying at the end of this year we're going to have to borrow

891
00:55:39,460 --> 00:55:48,909
the money the first payment for it will be in 26 no in 25. okay bill we may have to reward that article

892
00:55:50,530 --> 00:55:51,030
because

893
00:55:53,230 --> 00:55:59,630
in 2022 town meeting we said the town will raise appropriate fifty thousand dollars

894
00:55:59,630 --> 00:56:10,590
annually for a five-year period beginning in 2022. 23 22. so 22 23 24 25 26 we can only work

895
00:56:10,590 --> 00:56:18,429
we can only go out five years so we can't do that next year next no in 26 we'll have to

896
00:56:19,599 --> 00:56:22,400
reword the article or put another article on

897
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:28,079
to continue the because the last payment will not be in the 27th

898
00:56:28,079 --> 00:56:30,800
can we just do it next year and amend this article

899
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:36,239
add to the end of it oh write a new article write a new article

900
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:43,119
the reason we kept this was five years is a commitment in the maximum without considering

901
00:56:43,119 --> 00:56:51,579
bonding right so when we run out of the five years we can look for permission for another for a three

902
00:56:51,579 --> 00:56:52,539
year okay

903
00:56:52,780 --> 00:57:08,840
about an unchi

904
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:14,780
and we are getting to the end of this payment here without saying five years we should vote on

905
00:57:14,780 --> 00:57:21,199
it every third one so stadules an article on the tell me in the town meeting either way it

906
00:57:21,199 --> 00:57:23,019
doesn't we used to yeah we got ahead there we bought a truck we got to get there so yeah what i think

907
00:57:23,019 --> 00:57:46,420
year that's what we kind of learned I think to go to that and that okay

908
00:57:46,420 --> 00:57:52,460
that's why we really need an article for three if we come up soon to overlap

909
00:57:52,460 --> 00:57:57,980
because either way around we need the money by the end yeah for I think

910
00:57:57,980 --> 00:58:05,329
somewhere though they said you we can't commit money but we do have a contract

911
00:58:05,329 --> 00:58:12,420
oh so if we didn't have a contract maybe we can't commit money for I want to

912
00:58:12,420 --> 00:58:18,139
raise just in case just in case right but we might buy something right can't

913
00:58:18,139 --> 00:58:23,280
do it because we have a number we can't commit future town people to something

914
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:31,519
that we said might happen right but we know this all negotiated the purchase

915
00:58:31,519 --> 00:58:41,989
of two ambulances for the Northern Berkshire and found that the best he did was with

916
00:58:41,989 --> 00:58:50,050
Adam's co-op with him in a very favorable way he's willing to approach them for a

917
00:58:50,050 --> 00:58:55,510
similar rate for loan for us unless you or Laurie would rather do that

918
00:58:55,510 --> 00:58:59,840
yourself

919
00:58:59,940 --> 00:59:07,949
I mean he has the people and he knows that now that we're within at the

920
00:59:07,949 --> 00:59:10,730
beginning of the year we couldn't ask them for something when we didn't they

921
00:59:10,730 --> 00:59:15,989
could only commit six months forward now we know we're within the six-month range

922
00:59:15,989 --> 00:59:23,480
so they can give us a firm commitment so when do we expect to have this fire

923
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:29,530
truck it's not a promise but the likelihood is no better

924
00:59:29,530 --> 00:59:32,659
Oh nice

925
00:59:32,659 --> 00:59:37,460
yeah this November the difficulty of it is you don't want to take your brand-new

926
00:59:37,460 --> 00:59:43,119
shiny fire truck and bring it out in the snow and the state in the mud so yeah

927
00:59:43,119 --> 00:59:46,000
gotta use it

928
00:59:46,619 --> 00:59:53,590
it may depending on where we are within them too the white one which will go out

929
00:59:53,590 --> 01:00:01,099
go once it arrives it may be we may park engine two on the outside take its face

930
01:00:01,099 --> 01:00:04,099
and put the brain water training further in the back corner

931
01:00:04,219 --> 01:00:17,260
also have it for training as people get used to it and hopefully not put it out in the nasty stuff if you can avoid it, but it's there to do the job.

932
01:00:17,260 --> 01:00:28,300
So one little note, I have a customer that buys chassis, a lot of chassis, by the thousands, and they buy Ford chassis.

933
01:00:28,300 --> 01:00:45,550
They were, I'm going to say it was 2022, they were paying about $36,000 to $38,000 for a chassis and now they're paying $84,000 for a chassis.

934
01:00:45,550 --> 01:00:56,550
That's where the numbers have gone. So Paul actually mentioned to me and Glenn, it was really a great idea for us to jump on this because we would be paying a lot.

935
01:00:56,550 --> 01:00:57,550
Yes.

936
01:00:57,550 --> 01:01:01,550
Yeah, at least 50% more. That's where it is.

937
01:01:01,550 --> 01:01:02,550
So we'll have to see where we land.

938
01:01:02,550 --> 01:01:21,670
We are, once it's here, we're going to start looking to go to Mack Truck Collectors with a promise that we could probably release it in the fall or early spring, the one that we originally bought from California.

939
01:01:21,670 --> 01:01:34,300
And if we can get $5,000 or $6,000 back out of it, it'll go to the equipment that we still will need, you know, new equipment.

940
01:01:34,300 --> 01:01:35,300
We've budgeted for it.

941
01:01:35,300 --> 01:01:40,300
We've got about $10,000 for the small stuff that you've got to put on the engine.

942
01:01:40,300 --> 01:01:43,860
Mm-hmm.

943
01:01:43,860 --> 01:01:45,860
All right, then I will ask Paul to go ahead.

944
01:01:45,860 --> 01:01:46,960
Thank you.

945
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,960
So if I put the check in and just call you when it's ready, am I just going to mail it in or?

946
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:51,960
Mail it to him.

947
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:57,280
Mail it to him.

948
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:58,280
He'll be looking for it.

949
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:00,280
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

950
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:07,679
If there's more questions about it, if you don't have an answer, I'll be happy to try and get it.

951
01:02:07,679 --> 01:02:10,679
Larry, could you like FEMA and ask them for more questions?

952
01:02:10,679 --> 01:02:13,679
Now, what day, what was it again? What size tires are those?

953
01:02:13,679 --> 01:02:29,599
The biggest thing they want to save for tradition is the big electric siren, the dynamic one with the motor that winds up and winds down.

954
01:02:29,599 --> 01:02:34,599
Apparently, they're like $7,000 or $8,000 to buy new if you do fiber.

955
01:02:34,599 --> 01:02:36,889
So that will go on the new engine.

956
01:02:36,889 --> 01:02:44,519
Okay, anything else, Phil?

957
01:02:44,519 --> 01:02:46,840
All that I've got.

958
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:48,869
Okay.

959
01:02:48,869 --> 01:02:53,559
DV Fiber Financial Assistance.

960
01:02:53,559 --> 01:02:56,659
Financial Assistance Review Policies.

961
01:02:56,659 --> 01:03:08,750
It was mentioned at a previous meeting that we should have a policy, but I think we kind of decided that we were going to give $500 per application.

962
01:03:08,750 --> 01:03:09,750
Up to?

963
01:03:09,750 --> 01:03:12,300
Up to.

964
01:03:12,300 --> 01:03:22,579
So Laurie and I worked on the application, and if that's, should we put that on the application?

965
01:03:22,579 --> 01:03:25,579
Select Board approves up to $500 per application.

966
01:03:25,579 --> 01:03:28,539
For household.

967
01:03:28,539 --> 01:03:33,539
And then it says, I am requesting funding for the following project.

968
01:03:33,539 --> 01:03:37,539
Installation of DV Fiber at home address.

969
01:03:37,539 --> 01:03:41,460
Sure.

970
01:03:41,460 --> 01:03:48,460
And then application should be submitted with a self-certification form to the Select Board in a sealed envelope.

971
01:03:48,460 --> 01:03:53,460
Applications will be considered as received and reviewed privately.

972
01:03:53,710 --> 01:03:56,710
I think those were the questions we had, Laurie.

973
01:03:56,710 --> 01:04:05,300
Bob never got back to us on it, so I guess it's okay with him.

974
01:04:05,300 --> 01:04:15,030
So you have the final form if you want to finalize it, get it ready for anybody that wants it.

975
01:04:15,030 --> 01:04:23,800
And I'm still trying to get them to identify the five households that they claim were awaiting installation,

976
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:27,829
because they have some kind of installation problem.

977
01:04:27,829 --> 01:04:29,599
Okay.

978
01:04:29,599 --> 01:04:31,599
But with all their privacy.

979
01:04:31,599 --> 01:04:32,599
Yes.

980
01:04:32,599 --> 01:04:33,599
Routine.

981
01:04:33,599 --> 01:04:42,300
Bob and I both took that course and signed off for a certificate that we would hold everything private and confidential.

982
01:04:42,300 --> 01:04:45,300
They still haven't given us the five.

983
01:04:45,300 --> 01:04:48,929
Okay.

984
01:04:48,929 --> 01:04:52,150
Delinquent dog update.

985
01:04:52,150 --> 01:05:03,670
So those tickets have worked down to 10 people and 15 dogs.

986
01:05:03,670 --> 01:05:06,670
Are the 10 people the regulars?

987
01:05:06,670 --> 01:05:07,670
Or are they five?

988
01:05:07,670 --> 01:05:10,670
Are they following up on...

989
01:05:10,670 --> 01:05:13,670
Well, they just paid a couple weeks ago for the election.

990
01:05:13,670 --> 01:05:15,670
Yeah.

991
01:05:15,670 --> 01:05:17,670
Pretty soon it's going to be time.

992
01:05:29,900 --> 01:05:30,900
It amazes me.

993
01:05:30,900 --> 01:05:31,900
This one doesn't amaze me.

994
01:05:31,900 --> 01:05:33,900
I think we should publish it like, you know, delinquent taxes.

995
01:05:33,900 --> 01:05:34,900
Yeah.

996
01:05:34,900 --> 01:05:35,900
I mean, that's what I'm saying.

997
01:05:35,900 --> 01:05:36,900
This is...

998
01:05:36,900 --> 01:05:37,900
A little shaming.

999
01:05:37,900 --> 01:05:38,900
Yeah.

1000
01:05:38,900 --> 01:05:44,900
Just to remind people if they forgot or they're not paying attention or they didn't get Luke's bill.

1001
01:05:44,900 --> 01:05:48,900
This is worse than the taxes because it's pennies.

1002
01:05:48,900 --> 01:05:57,900
We weren't at like 10 or 15 until just like...

1003
01:05:57,900 --> 01:05:58,900
November.

1004
01:05:58,900 --> 01:05:59,900
March.

1005
01:05:59,900 --> 01:06:00,900
Yeah.

1006
01:06:00,900 --> 01:06:01,900
About when March.

1007
01:06:01,900 --> 01:06:02,900
So what's this next step?

1008
01:06:02,900 --> 01:06:05,900
Are these people coming in or calling you or anything?

1009
01:06:05,900 --> 01:06:07,900
They have been coming in.

1010
01:06:07,900 --> 01:06:09,900
These 10 people or...

1011
01:06:09,900 --> 01:06:12,900
Well, those 10 people we haven't heard anything from.

1012
01:06:12,900 --> 01:06:13,900
Okay.

1013
01:06:13,900 --> 01:06:21,280
I guess I'd have to look at our ordinance if the next step might be the court system.

1014
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:22,280
Yeah.

1015
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:28,460
I would have Luke proceed with the next step then.

1016
01:06:28,460 --> 01:06:29,460
What's it?

1017
01:06:29,460 --> 01:06:30,460
$10?

1018
01:06:30,460 --> 01:06:31,460
Something like that?

1019
01:06:31,460 --> 01:06:32,460
Close enough.

1020
01:06:32,460 --> 01:06:33,460
$9 if it's deferred and $13 if it's...

1021
01:06:33,460 --> 01:06:34,460
I mean...

1022
01:06:34,460 --> 01:06:35,460
If you do it by April 1st.

1023
01:06:35,460 --> 01:06:36,460
I can't believe this.

1024
01:06:36,460 --> 01:06:38,099
And then it's a $2 and $4 penalty.

1025
01:06:38,099 --> 01:06:39,099
See, some of these people have $2 and $4.

1026
01:06:39,099 --> 01:06:40,099
Yeah.

1027
01:06:40,099 --> 01:06:41,099
And then it's a $2 and $4 penalty.

1028
01:06:41,099 --> 01:06:42,099
And then it's a $2 and $4 penalty.

1029
01:06:42,099 --> 01:06:43,099
And then it's a $2 and $4 penalty.

1030
01:06:43,099 --> 01:06:44,099
And then it's a $2 and $4 penalty.

1031
01:06:44,099 --> 01:06:45,900
And then it's a $2 and $4 penalty.

1032
01:06:45,900 --> 01:06:46,900
Yeah.

1033
01:06:46,900 --> 01:06:47,900
And then it's a $2 and $4 penalty.

1034
01:06:47,900 --> 01:06:48,900
So, why don't these people have kids?

1035
01:06:48,900 --> 01:06:49,900
Why don't they get the rabies shots for these animals, right?

1036
01:06:49,900 --> 01:06:50,900
How much is the penalty for them?

1037
01:06:50,900 --> 01:06:51,900
$2 if it's fixed and $4 if it's...

1038
01:06:51,900 --> 01:06:56,900
So, they won't pay the $9, but when they get the $2 penalty, that makes the pay?

1039
01:06:56,900 --> 01:06:57,900
No.

1040
01:06:57,900 --> 01:06:58,900
I get that reminder.

1041
01:06:58,900 --> 01:06:59,900
Didn't we charge them more for this?

1042
01:06:59,900 --> 01:07:00,900
Well, these guys were doing $50 penalty.

1043
01:07:00,900 --> 01:07:01,900
Oh, okay.

1044
01:07:01,900 --> 01:07:02,900
So, these guys, some of them are...

1045
01:07:02,900 --> 01:07:03,900
When your dog fine goes over your taxes, then they're going to pay.

1046
01:07:03,900 --> 01:07:04,900
Lisa, you had a question?

1047
01:07:04,900 --> 01:07:05,900
Yeah.

1048
01:07:05,900 --> 01:07:06,900
I'm sorry.

1049
01:07:06,900 --> 01:07:07,900
This is not the right time, but back to the emergency room.

1050
01:07:07,900 --> 01:07:08,900
So, what are the things that you're doing?

1051
01:07:08,900 --> 01:07:09,900
I'm not sure.

1052
01:07:09,900 --> 01:07:13,039
Your dog fine goes over your taxes, then they're gone.

1053
01:07:13,039 --> 01:07:14,199
Lisa, you had a question?

1054
01:07:14,199 --> 01:07:16,000
Yeah, I'm sorry, this is not the right time,

1055
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:17,739
but back to the emergency management,

1056
01:07:17,739 --> 01:07:19,820
and Paul is still here in case he leaves.

1057
01:07:19,820 --> 01:07:21,300
Like, what are we doing about,

1058
01:07:21,300 --> 01:07:23,019
I don't know if this is the right board to talk about,

1059
01:07:23,019 --> 01:07:25,300
but the heat, like, I heard like a lot of people

1060
01:07:25,300 --> 01:07:27,199
are using the bathroom outside of Belmont,

1061
01:07:27,199 --> 01:07:28,800
the floor potty and stuff like that.

1062
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:32,190
Do we, who's taking care of like when we have,

1063
01:07:32,190 --> 01:07:34,050
are we gonna have that discussion about what happens

1064
01:07:34,050 --> 01:07:36,590
during heat or storms when the power goes out?

1065
01:07:36,590 --> 01:07:39,889
I'm sorry, who's taking care of the emergency shelter?

1066
01:07:39,889 --> 01:07:41,489
Yeah, that kind of thing.

1067
01:07:41,489 --> 01:07:43,289
Emergency shelter. Cooling centers.

1068
01:07:43,289 --> 01:07:45,489
Well, we don't have cooling centers.

1069
01:07:45,489 --> 01:07:47,690
Because what happens if, because we have a generator,

1070
01:07:47,690 --> 01:07:48,789
but like a lot of people don't,

1071
01:07:48,789 --> 01:07:51,989
what happens when you can't use your bathroom, or what?

1072
01:07:51,989 --> 01:07:53,789
I feel like if they're going to Belmont

1073
01:07:53,789 --> 01:07:56,190
for the floor potty, I feel like we have a problem in town

1074
01:07:56,190 --> 01:08:00,119
that we need to look into.

1075
01:08:00,119 --> 01:08:03,420
I think it's the same that we've dealt with before,

1076
01:08:03,420 --> 01:08:06,679
that somebody's gotta be here to man the building.

1077
01:08:06,679 --> 01:08:08,280
Right. And open the building.

1078
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:09,380
Is it nighttime?

1079
01:08:09,380 --> 01:08:09,880
Who's staying over?

1080
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,079
I know, I just didn't think about it.

1081
01:08:12,079 --> 01:08:12,579
I know.

1082
01:08:12,579 --> 01:08:15,679
Because, you know, with extreme heat,

1083
01:08:15,679 --> 01:08:18,279
it's not as bad as the cold, but it kind of can be.

1084
01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:21,029
I thought of that, too.

1085
01:08:21,029 --> 01:08:24,630
At least the kind of thing they get responsibility for is,

1086
01:08:24,630 --> 01:08:26,630
one, who's gonna open, you know,

1087
01:08:26,630 --> 01:08:29,739
we can find somebody to go from the building.

1088
01:08:29,739 --> 01:08:31,800
Who's going to stay?

1089
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:33,800
And actually, if you open the building

1090
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,800
and you follow the routine that we're supposed to,

1091
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:40,399
you're supposed to take information and log who came in,

1092
01:08:40,399 --> 01:08:44,600
and also the who left, so that you don't wind up

1093
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,899
with some kid in a corner somewhere after you've

1094
01:08:47,899 --> 01:08:50,699
relocked the building, like you were in the back corner

1095
01:08:50,699 --> 01:08:54,779
of a school bus, and somebody's gotta do that.

1096
01:08:54,779 --> 01:08:57,279
I mean, don't you get a team for that or something?

1097
01:08:57,279 --> 01:09:01,779
I thought Bob was working on something like that.

1098
01:09:01,779 --> 01:09:06,680
There is, yeah, it's a civilian emergency response team.

1099
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,680
Is that under the emergency management people?

1100
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:10,779
Oh, it's served.

1101
01:09:10,979 --> 01:09:12,979
Yeah, that's his, that's his.

1102
01:09:12,979 --> 01:09:13,979
Right.

1103
01:09:13,979 --> 01:09:21,119
It's non-first responders helping in an emergency situation.

1104
01:09:21,119 --> 01:09:22,119
Right.

1105
01:09:22,119 --> 01:09:26,619
And so, you know, 15, 20 years ago,

1106
01:09:26,619 --> 01:09:29,880
we wound up with getting, you know,

1107
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:31,380
some assistance from Red Cross,

1108
01:09:31,380 --> 01:09:35,380
when Red Cross was still a lot more active in Bennington County,

1109
01:09:35,380 --> 01:09:38,439
which they're not now.

1110
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:41,109
We have some guidelines.

1111
01:09:41,109 --> 01:09:42,609
We need people.

1112
01:09:42,609 --> 01:09:49,149
The five or six people that we gathered up at the time,

1113
01:09:49,149 --> 01:09:51,149
there were probably three left in town,

1114
01:09:51,149 --> 01:09:55,789
including Nancy, Joan, and me.

1115
01:09:55,789 --> 01:09:56,789
Some have passed away.

1116
01:09:56,789 --> 01:10:00,640
Some have moved out of town.

1117
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:02,640
Those people that were, you know, anxious,

1118
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:06,640
terribly anxious to get involved in, you know, civic authority,

1119
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:08,899
you know, civic assistance,

1120
01:10:08,899 --> 01:10:14,560
we'd be happy to try and get them trained.

1121
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:16,779
What kind of training would it involve?

1122
01:10:16,779 --> 01:10:18,779
I think we have enough people in town that care that, you know,

1123
01:10:18,779 --> 01:10:21,520
Well, not only...

1124
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:23,520
Yeah, but it isn't enough to say, I care.

1125
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:24,579
Yeah.

1126
01:10:24,579 --> 01:10:28,670
You're willing to learn what you're supposed to be doing,

1127
01:10:28,670 --> 01:10:30,670
those forms that ought to be filled out.

1128
01:10:30,670 --> 01:10:33,670
You're going to take the responsibility that if there's a storm,

1129
01:10:33,670 --> 01:10:35,670
and even if your house is flooded,

1130
01:10:35,670 --> 01:10:41,970
you're going to come here and help other people.

1131
01:10:41,970 --> 01:10:47,319
There was some discussion from Bob Briggs

1132
01:10:47,319 --> 01:10:53,350
about instigating just,

1133
01:10:53,350 --> 01:11:00,210
or encouraging people taking it upon themselves to find...

1134
01:11:00,210 --> 01:11:03,210
I mean, it's sort of like when we had those neighborhood,

1135
01:11:03,210 --> 01:11:07,210
you know, team, like, information people.

1136
01:11:07,210 --> 01:11:11,210
But to, you know, for each person to take sort of the responsibility

1137
01:11:11,210 --> 01:11:15,210
to reach out to, you know, the neighbors that they know

1138
01:11:15,210 --> 01:11:17,210
and say, you know,

1139
01:11:17,210 --> 01:11:21,210
Okay, Doug, come to my house if you need to jump in the swimming pool.

1140
01:11:21,210 --> 01:11:23,210
Or my stove has gas,

1141
01:11:23,210 --> 01:11:26,210
and so if there's no, you know, if there's no electricity,

1142
01:11:26,210 --> 01:11:28,210
and you don't want peanut butter and jelly for dinner,

1143
01:11:28,210 --> 01:11:30,210
come to my house and we'll make...

1144
01:11:30,210 --> 01:11:32,210
Not Doug's.

1145
01:11:32,210 --> 01:11:35,210
But to find, you know, to find each other,

1146
01:11:35,210 --> 01:11:38,210
to, you know, encourage versions of finding each other.

1147
01:11:38,210 --> 01:11:40,210
And it's not comprehensive by any means,

1148
01:11:40,210 --> 01:11:42,210
but it's doable.

1149
01:11:42,210 --> 01:11:45,210
Maybe even back to the captains then, or whatever.

1150
01:11:45,210 --> 01:11:48,210
Yeah, neighborhood captains, or, you know, seeing...

1151
01:11:48,210 --> 01:11:52,210
I mean, especially for people who have,

1152
01:11:52,210 --> 01:11:53,279
you know,

1153
01:11:53,279 --> 01:11:56,279
if they're on any kind of life support thing

1154
01:11:56,279 --> 01:11:58,279
that's going to depend on,

1155
01:11:58,279 --> 01:12:00,279
then they need to either have a generator

1156
01:12:00,279 --> 01:12:02,279
or know someone with a generator.

1157
01:12:02,279 --> 01:12:05,279
You know, my neighbors and I, we all say,

1158
01:12:05,279 --> 01:12:06,279
Okay, I have a stove.

1159
01:12:06,279 --> 01:12:07,279
Right.

1160
01:12:07,279 --> 01:12:09,279
My neighbor has a better generator than us.

1161
01:12:09,279 --> 01:12:10,279
Right.

1162
01:12:10,279 --> 01:12:12,279
But she doesn't have a stove that works on that generator,

1163
01:12:12,279 --> 01:12:13,279
and we trade around.

1164
01:12:13,279 --> 01:12:14,279
Exactly, exactly.

1165
01:12:14,279 --> 01:12:15,279
So maybe his neighbor was like,

1166
01:12:15,279 --> 01:12:16,279
I have a generator.

1167
01:12:16,279 --> 01:12:18,279
Do you have anything that's going to go bad in your fridge?

1168
01:12:18,279 --> 01:12:20,279
Because I don't have a generator.

1169
01:12:20,279 --> 01:12:21,279
Bring it up.

1170
01:12:21,279 --> 01:12:22,279
So, you know, that kind of...

1171
01:12:22,279 --> 01:12:24,279
I mean, can we get something like that organized?

1172
01:12:24,279 --> 01:12:25,279
I think at one time,

1173
01:12:25,279 --> 01:12:27,279
there was probably a greater sense of that in town.

1174
01:12:27,279 --> 01:12:29,279
Yeah, but let's start it up again.

1175
01:12:29,279 --> 01:12:31,279
Let's start the conversation.

1176
01:12:31,279 --> 01:12:34,279
I checked with my neighbors that I knew.

1177
01:12:34,279 --> 01:12:38,850
I called one path.

1178
01:12:38,850 --> 01:12:40,850
I'm fine.

1179
01:12:40,850 --> 01:12:41,850
Yeah, well, she tells me that

1180
01:12:41,850 --> 01:12:43,850
every time there's a problem.

1181
01:12:43,850 --> 01:12:44,850
We're fine.

1182
01:12:44,850 --> 01:12:45,850
They're fine.

1183
01:12:45,850 --> 01:12:46,850
They're in their 80s,

1184
01:12:46,850 --> 01:12:47,850
and they are always fine.

1185
01:12:47,850 --> 01:12:48,850
Right.

1186
01:12:48,850 --> 01:12:49,850
But they know the opportunity.

1187
01:12:49,850 --> 01:12:51,850
They literally sat in front of their gas stove

1188
01:12:51,850 --> 01:12:54,850
when they lost power in the winter,

1189
01:12:54,850 --> 01:12:55,850
opened the oven,

1190
01:12:55,850 --> 01:12:56,850
and that's where they stayed.

1191
01:12:56,850 --> 01:12:57,850
Yep.

1192
01:12:57,850 --> 01:12:58,850
They don't want to come out.

1193
01:12:58,850 --> 01:12:59,850
They kept warm by that.

1194
01:12:59,850 --> 01:13:00,850
And I said,

1195
01:13:00,850 --> 01:13:01,850
I got wood.

1196
01:13:01,850 --> 01:13:02,850
Come on up.

1197
01:13:02,850 --> 01:13:03,850
I got a generator.

1198
01:13:03,850 --> 01:13:04,850
Everything's the same as when we had power up in my house.

1199
01:13:04,850 --> 01:13:05,850
Yep.

1200
01:13:05,850 --> 01:13:06,850
We're good,

1201
01:13:06,850 --> 01:13:07,850
but thank you for asking.

1202
01:13:07,850 --> 01:13:08,850
Yep.

1203
01:13:08,850 --> 01:13:09,850
And another lady,

1204
01:13:09,850 --> 01:13:10,850
I said,

1205
01:13:10,850 --> 01:13:11,850
I've got the water.

1206
01:13:11,850 --> 01:13:12,850
Do you want a shower?

1207
01:13:12,850 --> 01:13:13,850
Nope.

1208
01:13:13,850 --> 01:13:14,850
I'm not opening my refrigerator freezer.

1209
01:13:14,850 --> 01:13:15,850
I have a gas stove.

1210
01:13:15,850 --> 01:13:16,850
I'm fine.

1211
01:13:16,850 --> 01:13:17,850
I can get my water for my...

1212
01:13:17,850 --> 01:13:18,850
You know,

1213
01:13:18,850 --> 01:13:19,850
this sense of self-reliance...

1214
01:13:19,850 --> 01:13:20,850
It's what it is.

1215
01:13:20,850 --> 01:13:22,850
It's beautiful and strong,

1216
01:13:22,850 --> 01:13:26,850
and it seems like encouraging some version

1217
01:13:26,850 --> 01:13:28,850
of those conversations...

1218
01:13:28,850 --> 01:13:29,850
So that's where I...

1219
01:13:29,850 --> 01:13:33,850
I don't want to lack...

1220
01:13:33,850 --> 01:13:34,850
Compassion.

1221
01:13:34,850 --> 01:13:35,850
Compassion, yeah.

1222
01:13:35,850 --> 01:13:36,850
Yeah.

1223
01:13:36,850 --> 01:13:38,850
But what constitutes an emergency?

1224
01:13:38,850 --> 01:13:40,850
Because they have to go to the bathroom?

1225
01:13:40,850 --> 01:13:41,850
Yes.

1226
01:13:41,850 --> 01:13:43,850
That's what I'm saying is,

1227
01:13:43,850 --> 01:13:45,949
and again,

1228
01:13:45,949 --> 01:13:48,949
I'm trying to be gentle here,

1229
01:13:48,949 --> 01:13:49,949
but if I have to go to the bathroom,

1230
01:13:49,949 --> 01:13:50,949
I've been here,

1231
01:13:50,949 --> 01:13:51,949
I've been camping before.

1232
01:13:51,949 --> 01:13:52,949
Yeah.

1233
01:13:52,949 --> 01:13:53,949
And not everybody lives in the woods.

1234
01:13:53,949 --> 01:13:54,949
Well,

1235
01:13:54,949 --> 01:13:55,949
but this is Stanford,

1236
01:13:55,949 --> 01:13:56,949
Vermont,

1237
01:13:56,949 --> 01:13:57,949
not New York City,

1238
01:13:57,949 --> 01:13:58,949
so I'm wondering why people...

1239
01:13:58,949 --> 01:13:59,949
Where does it end?

1240
01:13:59,949 --> 01:14:00,949
Because I do,

1241
01:14:00,949 --> 01:14:01,949
and again,

1242
01:14:01,949 --> 01:14:02,949
I'm not trying...

1243
01:14:02,949 --> 01:14:03,949
I know there's elderly people,

1244
01:14:03,949 --> 01:14:04,949
and I do agree with the neighborhood helping each other.

1245
01:14:04,949 --> 01:14:05,949
That's community.

1246
01:14:05,949 --> 01:14:06,949
And I would have no problem helping people,

1247
01:14:06,949 --> 01:14:07,949
but I don't have the time to go to all the training.

1248
01:14:07,949 --> 01:14:08,949
I mean,

1249
01:14:08,949 --> 01:14:09,949
I used to be a fireman.

1250
01:14:09,949 --> 01:14:10,949
I know what it takes to be a train...

1251
01:14:10,949 --> 01:14:11,949
To train just a...

1252
01:14:11,949 --> 01:14:12,949
That was,

1253
01:14:12,949 --> 01:14:13,949
what,

1254
01:14:13,949 --> 01:14:14,949
three years ago?

1255
01:14:14,949 --> 01:14:15,949
Yeah.

1256
01:14:15,949 --> 01:14:16,949
Three years ago.

1257
01:14:16,949 --> 01:14:17,949
Yeah.

1258
01:14:17,949 --> 01:14:18,949
Yeah.

1259
01:14:18,949 --> 01:14:19,949
So,

1260
01:14:19,949 --> 01:14:20,949
that was,

1261
01:14:20,949 --> 01:14:21,949
what,

1262
01:14:21,949 --> 01:14:22,949
30 years ago?

1263
01:14:22,949 --> 01:14:23,949
It's double that now.

1264
01:14:23,949 --> 01:14:24,949
So,

1265
01:14:24,949 --> 01:14:25,949
I understand all that,

1266
01:14:25,949 --> 01:14:26,949
but where does it end?

1267
01:14:26,949 --> 01:14:27,949
We had one time

1268
01:14:27,949 --> 01:14:28,949
where people wanted to come here

1269
01:14:28,949 --> 01:14:29,949
because they felt alone.

1270
01:14:29,949 --> 01:14:30,949
So,

1271
01:14:30,949 --> 01:14:31,949
they just want to come and talk,

1272
01:14:31,949 --> 01:14:32,949
but there's no emergency.

1273
01:14:32,949 --> 01:14:33,949
And that's where

1274
01:14:33,949 --> 01:14:34,949
that volunteer system

1275
01:14:34,949 --> 01:14:35,949
gets broke down

1276
01:14:35,949 --> 01:14:36,949
when they go,

1277
01:14:36,949 --> 01:14:37,949
jeez,

1278
01:14:37,949 --> 01:14:38,949
I know a guy

1279
01:14:38,949 --> 01:14:39,949
that does a soup kitchen right now.

1280
01:14:39,949 --> 01:14:40,949
He does a...

1281
01:14:40,949 --> 01:14:41,949
It's a Meals on Wheels,

1282
01:14:41,949 --> 01:14:42,949
and he loves to do it.

1283
01:14:42,949 --> 01:14:43,949
And he started with 40 people,

1284
01:14:43,949 --> 01:14:44,949
now they're up to 100 and something.

1285
01:14:44,949 --> 01:14:45,949
So,

1286
01:14:45,949 --> 01:14:46,949
that's where

1287
01:14:46,949 --> 01:14:47,949
that volunteer system

1288
01:14:47,949 --> 01:14:48,949
gets broken down.

1289
01:14:48,949 --> 01:14:49,949
So,

1290
01:14:49,949 --> 01:14:50,949
we're going to have

1291
01:14:50,949 --> 01:14:51,949
a meal

1292
01:14:51,949 --> 01:14:52,949
for 40 people

1293
01:14:52,949 --> 01:14:53,949
and we're going to have

1294
01:14:53,949 --> 01:14:54,949
a meal for 100 and something households

1295
01:14:54,949 --> 01:14:55,949
in North Adams.

1296
01:14:55,949 --> 01:14:56,949
But after he gives the free meal,

1297
01:14:56,949 --> 01:14:57,949
he sees the same person

1298
01:14:57,949 --> 01:14:58,949
down at Cumberland Farms

1299
01:14:58,949 --> 01:14:59,949
buying a pack of cigarettes

1300
01:14:59,949 --> 01:15:00,949
and it bothers him.

1301
01:15:00,949 --> 01:15:01,949
He keeps doing it,

1302
01:15:01,949 --> 01:15:02,949
but it bothers him.

1303
01:15:02,949 --> 01:15:03,949
Where does it end?

1304
01:15:03,949 --> 01:15:04,949
So,

1305
01:15:04,949 --> 01:15:05,949
I'm not saying

1306
01:15:05,949 --> 01:15:06,949
we shouldn't have

1307
01:15:06,949 --> 01:15:07,949
something in place,

1308
01:15:07,949 --> 01:15:08,949
but I really agree that

1309
01:15:08,949 --> 01:15:09,949
if we could take it

1310
01:15:09,949 --> 01:15:10,949
amongst ourselves,

1311
01:15:10,949 --> 01:15:11,949
not just in this room,

1312
01:15:11,949 --> 01:15:12,949
but pass the word along.

1313
01:15:12,949 --> 01:15:13,949
Me too.

1314
01:15:13,949 --> 01:15:14,949
Marta and I

1315
01:15:14,949 --> 01:15:15,949
and Dan Poffin

1316
01:15:15,949 --> 01:15:17,460
and Kurt

1317
01:15:17,460 --> 01:15:18,460
have talked about this,

1318
01:15:18,460 --> 01:15:19,460
I don't know,

1319
01:15:19,460 --> 01:15:20,460
informational thing

1320
01:15:20,460 --> 01:15:21,460
that we can do

1321
01:15:21,460 --> 01:15:22,460
whenever we can do it.

1322
01:15:22,460 --> 01:15:23,460
They already have

1323
01:15:23,460 --> 01:15:24,460
in the school

1324
01:15:24,460 --> 01:15:25,460
like a craft thing.

1325
01:15:25,460 --> 01:15:26,460
Have a booth

1326
01:15:26,460 --> 01:15:27,460
that says

1327
01:15:27,460 --> 01:15:28,460
this is what we suggest.

1328
01:15:28,460 --> 01:15:29,460
Here's some

1329
01:15:29,460 --> 01:15:30,460
here's some pamphlets

1330
01:15:30,460 --> 01:15:31,460
that you can go

1331
01:15:31,460 --> 01:15:32,460
to North Adams Shelter

1332
01:15:32,460 --> 01:15:33,460
which is open

1333
01:15:33,460 --> 01:15:34,460
or you can

1334
01:15:34,460 --> 01:15:35,460
these are things

1335
01:15:35,460 --> 01:15:36,460
where you can buy

1336
01:15:36,460 --> 01:15:37,460
a generator

1337
01:15:37,460 --> 01:15:38,460
and it's inexpensive

1338
01:15:38,460 --> 01:15:39,460
and how to use

1339
01:15:39,460 --> 01:15:40,460
a generator,

1340
01:15:40,460 --> 01:15:41,460
you know,

1341
01:15:41,460 --> 01:15:42,460
I don't know.

1342
01:15:42,460 --> 01:15:43,460
We can find ourselves

1343
01:15:43,460 --> 01:15:44,460
a community room

1344
01:15:44,460 --> 01:15:45,460
somewhere

1345
01:15:45,460 --> 01:15:46,460
that could go along

1346
01:15:46,460 --> 01:15:47,460
with helping

1347
01:15:47,460 --> 01:15:48,460
with some of this.

1348
01:15:48,460 --> 01:15:49,460
Yeah,

1349
01:15:49,460 --> 01:15:50,460
I mean,

1350
01:15:50,460 --> 01:15:51,460
what about

1351
01:15:51,460 --> 01:15:52,460
something like that,

1352
01:15:52,460 --> 01:15:53,460
like a phone tree?

1353
01:15:53,460 --> 01:15:54,460
I don't know

1354
01:15:54,460 --> 01:15:55,460
how that ever worked

1355
01:15:55,460 --> 01:15:56,460
or anything.

1356
01:15:56,460 --> 01:15:57,460
Some worked

1357
01:15:57,460 --> 01:15:58,460
and some did

1358
01:15:58,460 --> 01:15:59,460
and ours did.

1359
01:15:59,460 --> 01:16:00,460
Mary Lou did

1360
01:16:00,460 --> 01:16:01,460
was ours

1361
01:16:01,460 --> 01:16:02,460
and it worked.

1362
01:16:02,460 --> 01:16:03,460
It's all about

1363
01:16:03,460 --> 01:16:04,460
the person.

1364
01:16:04,460 --> 01:16:05,460
It's like Bill says

1365
01:16:05,460 --> 01:16:06,460
when you have

1366
01:16:06,460 --> 01:16:07,460
good volunteers

1367
01:16:07,460 --> 01:16:08,460
you're going to

1368
01:16:08,460 --> 01:16:09,460
have a good system.

1369
01:16:09,460 --> 01:16:10,460
Exactly,

1370
01:16:10,460 --> 01:16:11,460
but even just

1371
01:16:11,460 --> 01:16:12,460
having something

1372
01:16:12,460 --> 01:16:13,460
like at this resiliency

1373
01:16:13,460 --> 01:16:14,460
like fair

1374
01:16:14,460 --> 01:16:15,460
that we're talking about,

1375
01:16:15,460 --> 01:16:16,460
even having something

1376
01:16:16,460 --> 01:16:17,460
that's like

1377
01:16:17,460 --> 01:16:18,460
a checklist

1378
01:16:18,460 --> 01:16:19,460
for people

1379
01:16:19,460 --> 01:16:20,460
who are

1380
01:16:20,460 --> 01:16:21,460
you know,

1381
01:16:21,460 --> 01:16:22,460
in the event

1382
01:16:22,460 --> 01:16:23,460
of a power outage,

1383
01:16:23,460 --> 01:16:24,460
what would be

1384
01:16:24,460 --> 01:16:25,460
the things

1385
01:16:25,460 --> 01:16:26,460
that you,

1386
01:16:26,460 --> 01:16:27,460
for them to think

1387
01:16:27,460 --> 01:16:28,460
for themselves

1388
01:16:28,460 --> 01:16:29,460
and then just be like

1389
01:16:29,460 --> 01:16:30,460
do you have

1390
01:16:30,460 --> 01:16:31,460
a resource

1391
01:16:31,460 --> 01:16:32,460
that you can reach out to

1392
01:16:32,460 --> 01:16:33,460
and similarly,

1393
01:16:33,460 --> 01:16:34,460
you know,

1394
01:16:34,460 --> 01:16:35,460
what resources

1395
01:16:35,460 --> 01:16:36,460
do you have

1396
01:16:36,460 --> 01:16:37,460
that you would be

1397
01:16:37,460 --> 01:16:38,460
able to share

1398
01:16:38,460 --> 01:16:39,460
with,

1399
01:16:39,460 --> 01:16:40,460
you know,

1400
01:16:40,460 --> 01:16:41,460
a limited number

1401
01:16:41,460 --> 01:16:42,460
so that you're not

1402
01:16:42,460 --> 01:16:43,460
taking everybody in,

1403
01:16:43,460 --> 01:16:44,460
you know,

1404
01:16:44,460 --> 01:16:45,460
that you could offer

1405
01:16:45,460 --> 01:16:46,460
to some of your neighbors.

1406
01:16:46,460 --> 01:16:47,460
Or neighbors,

1407
01:16:47,460 --> 01:16:48,460
host neighbors,

1408
01:16:48,460 --> 01:16:49,460
you know,

1409
01:16:49,460 --> 01:16:50,460
this last thing.

1410
01:16:50,460 --> 01:16:51,460
There were people

1411
01:16:51,460 --> 01:16:52,460
beautifully out,

1412
01:16:52,460 --> 01:16:53,460
it was very heartening

1413
01:16:53,460 --> 01:16:54,460
saying,

1414
01:16:54,460 --> 01:16:55,460
you know,

1415
01:16:55,460 --> 01:16:56,460
is anybody having trouble

1416
01:16:56,460 --> 01:16:57,460
in this storm?

1417
01:16:57,460 --> 01:16:58,460
Does anybody need help?

1418
01:16:58,460 --> 01:16:59,460
Which I just,

1419
01:16:59,460 --> 01:17:00,460
I was like,

1420
01:17:00,460 --> 01:17:01,460
this is a good question.

1421
01:17:01,460 --> 01:17:02,460
Emergency management

1422
01:17:02,460 --> 01:17:03,460
is,

1423
01:17:03,460 --> 01:17:04,460
they're all

1424
01:17:04,460 --> 01:17:05,460
great conversations.

1425
01:17:05,460 --> 01:17:06,460
I don't,

1426
01:17:06,460 --> 01:17:07,460
I just don't know

1427
01:17:07,460 --> 01:17:08,460
how to coalesce at all,

1428
01:17:08,460 --> 01:17:09,460
right?

1429
01:17:09,460 --> 01:17:10,460
How do we all

1430
01:17:10,460 --> 01:17:11,460
get together

1431
01:17:11,460 --> 01:17:12,460
and start talking about

1432
01:17:12,460 --> 01:17:13,460
this stuff?

1433
01:17:13,460 --> 01:17:14,460
Each person kind of

1434
01:17:14,460 --> 01:17:15,460
has to be responsible

1435
01:17:15,460 --> 01:17:16,680
in finding

1436
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:17,680
what their

1437
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:18,909
emergency plan is.

1438
01:17:18,909 --> 01:17:19,909
The less,

1439
01:17:19,909 --> 01:17:20,909
the less formal training

1440
01:17:20,909 --> 01:17:21,909
you need,

1441
01:17:21,909 --> 01:17:22,909
the better

1442
01:17:22,909 --> 01:17:23,909
you can get things done.

1443
01:17:23,909 --> 01:17:24,909
Yeah.

1444
01:17:24,909 --> 01:17:25,909
It's just like,

1445
01:17:25,909 --> 01:17:26,909
go all the way back

1446
01:17:26,909 --> 01:17:27,909
to what John said,

1447
01:17:27,909 --> 01:17:28,909
this is the world

1448
01:17:28,909 --> 01:17:29,909
we live in.

1449
01:17:29,909 --> 01:17:30,909
The minute you become

1450
01:17:30,909 --> 01:17:31,909
a formal entity,

1451
01:17:31,909 --> 01:17:32,909
insurance,

1452
01:17:32,909 --> 01:17:33,909
liability,

1453
01:17:33,909 --> 01:17:34,909
all this,

1454
01:17:34,909 --> 01:17:35,909
all this,

1455
01:17:35,909 --> 01:17:36,909
kind of red tape

1456
01:17:36,909 --> 01:17:37,909
gets in the way

1457
01:17:37,909 --> 01:17:38,909
sometimes,

1458
01:17:38,909 --> 01:17:39,909
you know.

1459
01:17:39,909 --> 01:17:40,909
Informally,

1460
01:17:40,909 --> 01:17:41,909
every emergency,

1461
01:17:41,909 --> 01:17:42,909
every house

1462
01:17:42,909 --> 01:17:43,909
turns into a

1463
01:17:43,909 --> 01:17:44,909
permanent camp

1464
01:17:44,909 --> 01:17:45,909
for 60 days,

1465
01:17:45,909 --> 01:17:46,909
figure it out.

1466
01:17:46,909 --> 01:17:47,909
You know,

1467
01:17:47,909 --> 01:17:48,909
I worked up

1468
01:17:48,909 --> 01:17:49,909
and off.

1469
01:17:49,909 --> 01:17:50,909
They were my family members,

1470
01:17:50,909 --> 01:17:51,909
but apparently

1471
01:17:51,909 --> 01:17:52,909
I'm the guy

1472
01:17:52,909 --> 01:17:53,909
that knows

1473
01:17:53,909 --> 01:17:54,909
what I want to do.

1474
01:17:54,909 --> 01:17:55,909
But I have,

1475
01:17:55,909 --> 01:17:56,909
I have five generators,

1476
01:17:56,909 --> 01:17:57,909
so I had

1477
01:17:57,909 --> 01:17:58,909
two extra ones,

1478
01:17:58,909 --> 01:17:59,909
you know.

1479
01:17:59,909 --> 01:18:00,909
Like Bill said,

1480
01:18:00,909 --> 01:18:01,909
too,

1481
01:18:01,909 --> 01:18:02,909
if we open the school,

1482
01:18:02,909 --> 01:18:03,909
you have to go through

1483
01:18:03,909 --> 01:18:04,909
certain protocol,

1484
01:18:04,909 --> 01:18:05,909
the state,

1485
01:18:05,909 --> 01:18:06,909
local Red Cross,

1486
01:18:06,909 --> 01:18:07,909
and...

1487
01:18:07,909 --> 01:18:08,909
Now Bob did put...

1488
01:18:08,909 --> 01:18:09,909
...become the caretaker

1489
01:18:09,909 --> 01:18:10,909
to everyone that's there.

1490
01:18:10,909 --> 01:18:11,909
Yeah.

1491
01:18:11,909 --> 01:18:12,909
Bob did put on Facebook,

1492
01:18:12,909 --> 01:18:13,909
if there's anybody

1493
01:18:13,909 --> 01:18:14,909
that is really

1494
01:18:14,909 --> 01:18:15,909
and truly need

1495
01:18:15,909 --> 01:18:16,909
anything,

1496
01:18:16,909 --> 01:18:17,909
call 911.

1497
01:18:17,909 --> 01:18:18,909
Yeah.

1498
01:18:18,909 --> 01:18:19,909
If you need anything,

1499
01:18:19,909 --> 01:18:20,909
call Bob

1500
01:18:20,909 --> 01:18:21,909
and he will

1501
01:18:21,909 --> 01:18:22,909
guide you

1502
01:18:22,909 --> 01:18:23,909
or get you out.

1503
01:18:23,909 --> 01:18:24,909
Bob does much better

1504
01:18:24,909 --> 01:18:25,909
with social media

1505
01:18:25,909 --> 01:18:26,909
than I ever did.

1506
01:18:26,909 --> 01:18:27,909
Sure, sure.

1507
01:18:27,909 --> 01:18:28,909
I don't have a Facebook account.

1508
01:18:28,909 --> 01:18:29,909
I'm not comfortable

1509
01:18:29,909 --> 01:18:30,909
trying to use it.

1510
01:18:30,909 --> 01:18:31,909
We tried

1511
01:18:31,909 --> 01:18:32,909
for years

1512
01:18:32,909 --> 01:18:33,909
to repeat

1513
01:18:33,909 --> 01:18:34,909
and repeat

1514
01:18:34,909 --> 01:18:35,909
it down

1515
01:18:35,909 --> 01:18:36,909
meeting

1516
01:18:36,909 --> 01:18:37,909
and minutes

1517
01:18:37,909 --> 01:18:38,909
for people

1518
01:18:38,909 --> 01:18:39,909
to reach out

1519
01:18:39,909 --> 01:18:41,390
if they need.

1520
01:18:41,390 --> 01:18:42,520
But...

1521
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:43,520
Did anybody

1522
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:44,520
ever fill out

1523
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:45,520
those forms

1524
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:46,520
that you had?

1525
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:48,520
What are your needs?

1526
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:49,520
Bring them back

1527
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:50,520
to...

1528
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:51,520
Did they go to

1529
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:52,520
the fire department

1530
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:53,520
or town office?

1531
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:54,520
I don't think

1532
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:55,520
they came here.

1533
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:56,520
I think they probably

1534
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:57,520
went to the fire department.

1535
01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:58,520
What are your needs?

1536
01:18:58,520 --> 01:18:59,520
Do you...

1537
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:00,520
Are you on oxygen?

1538
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:01,520
Do you need...

1539
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:02,520
At one point...

1540
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:03,520
Well,

1541
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:04,520
you know how far back

1542
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:05,520
it goes?

1543
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:06,520
Yeah.

1544
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:07,520
There was a card

1545
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:08,520
attached

1546
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:09,520
or inserted

1547
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:10,520
to the town report

1548
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:11,520
and Yankee Atomic

1549
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:12,520
paid for it.

1550
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:13,520
Yeah.

1551
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:14,640
Yeah.

1552
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:15,640
And...

1553
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:16,640
We got

1554
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:17,640
probably about

1555
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:18,640
15

1556
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:20,739
thousand people

1557
01:19:20,739 --> 01:19:21,739
who had

1558
01:19:21,739 --> 01:19:23,119
to go

1559
01:19:23,119 --> 01:19:24,119
back

1560
01:19:24,119 --> 01:19:25,119
and do

1561
01:19:25,119 --> 01:19:26,119
a check-in

1562
01:19:26,119 --> 01:19:27,119
or something

1563
01:19:27,119 --> 01:19:28,119
because

1564
01:19:28,119 --> 01:19:29,119
people don't

1565
01:19:29,119 --> 01:19:30,119
want to

1566
01:19:30,119 --> 01:19:31,119
admit

1567
01:19:31,119 --> 01:19:32,119
that

1568
01:19:32,119 --> 01:19:33,119
they need

1569
01:19:33,119 --> 01:19:34,119
help.

1570
01:19:34,119 --> 01:19:35,119
They don't

1571
01:19:35,119 --> 01:19:37,119
want to identify

1572
01:19:37,119 --> 01:19:38,119
a medical

1573
01:19:38,119 --> 01:19:39,119
condition

1574
01:19:39,119 --> 01:19:40,119
that needs

1575
01:19:40,119 --> 01:19:41,119
assistance.

1576
01:19:41,119 --> 01:19:42,119
Yeah.

1577
01:19:42,119 --> 01:19:43,119
Well,

1578
01:19:43,119 --> 01:19:44,119
that's all

1579
01:19:44,119 --> 01:19:45,119
them then.

1580
01:19:45,119 --> 01:19:46,119
That's why

1581
01:19:46,119 --> 01:19:47,119
you train

1582
01:19:47,119 --> 01:19:48,119
everyone

1583
01:19:48,119 --> 01:20:05,960
out at town meeting in past years that little flip page booklet um done with delinquent docs

1584
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:15,279
correspondence correspondence so i received a letter from the irs this week i'm happy to report

1585
01:20:15,279 --> 01:20:22,319
that at least we have resolved the filing for the fourth quarter of december 2023.

1586
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:30,159
i'm happy um the other third quarter is up in the air and the first two quarters i have sent in

1587
01:20:30,159 --> 01:20:39,199
my letter disputing their findings and um ask them to recalculate and review the information and

1588
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:45,680
i don't know if john and dunn john and doug are familiar with what happened or

1589
01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:53,199
so the irs loves it so we um you file your taxes and they're like oh hey

1590
01:20:54,000 --> 01:21:01,199
you we found out you owe more money than you gotta pay they want you to pay more money it's we um

1591
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:08,800
pay payroll every two weeks so we automatically would submit the withheld taxes to the irs every

1592
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:15,039
two weeks and then at some point they said look you you withhold less than fifty thousand dollars

1593
01:21:15,039 --> 01:21:21,119
of taxes in a year you should be paying them monthly not every two weeks so i got this letter

1594
01:21:21,119 --> 01:21:23,199
saying you need to change how you pay you need to change how you pay you need to change how you pay

1595
01:21:24,380 --> 01:21:30,859
okay recreate the wheel we started paying a monthly and then you know five months later

1596
01:21:30,859 --> 01:21:38,970
they sent us a terrific bill and said hey you didn't do it quarterly like you have been

1597
01:21:39,850 --> 01:21:46,409
and they charged us like eighteen hundred dollars in penalty interest for not filing it every two

1598
01:21:46,409 --> 01:21:52,810
weeks when they told me to file it monthly and i disputed it and they looked at it and said

1599
01:21:53,850 --> 01:21:59,930
sorry charlie you blow it and then when the second quarter i mean june 30th came through

1600
01:22:00,569 --> 01:22:08,010
they hit us again with another hundred dollars really maybe it's time to write our

1601
01:22:08,010 --> 01:22:13,609
representatives or our senators well yeah you know we were in between with laura civilian

1602
01:22:13,609 --> 01:22:19,239
leaving and then the new guy being sick and not really but um no but i mean you call uh

1603
01:22:19,239 --> 01:22:23,640
what's our representative and i'm talking congressional because if it's with the irs

1604
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:30,439
well we've fought it and um you know hopefully this will work if not we'll continue with the

1605
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:36,279
change you finally got to talk to somebody right and i finally got to talk to someone and um

1606
01:22:36,279 --> 01:22:41,880
you know they guided me through fill out a schedule b and fill it out this way and maybe this

1607
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:48,439
will help them to recognize that i mean i would have never changed how i did it if they didn't

1608
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:53,720
write me a letter saying you have to do it monthly so and they have not even reviewed

1609
01:22:53,880 --> 01:23:00,279
that letter but i've gone back to filing it every two weeks like i always have and but the thing is

1610
01:23:00,279 --> 01:23:04,199
they have the money every two weeks instead of monthly you think they would be happy

1611
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:12,380
right right but they're sending it in on time and so it's just been a difficult um but it's good that

1612
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:18,439
we're not going to be fine for the third quarter our fourth quarter yeah the first two we've already

1613
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:23,239
been fine with them trying to get our money back the third quarter but we haven't made a decision

1614
01:23:24,199 --> 01:23:29,399
if we're going to go through with it again if we're going to write it anyway we don't necessarily

1615
01:23:29,399 --> 01:23:33,720
have a place where we can be might be a win or a loss and there's a lot of people i haven't

1616
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:38,359
spoken to in the last week and i think they're taking the plunge because you know they want to

1617
01:23:38,359 --> 01:23:42,680
create a new book series and they want to go get the book and they want to see the book and so

1618
01:23:43,239 --> 01:23:48,279
therefore i think you know we'll also be looking at that as well right what i'm saying with the

1619
01:23:48,279 --> 01:23:53,159
um i in in the survey that we did to the library community is actually to help our students how we

1620
01:23:53,159 --> 01:23:57,119
they tell you one thing you call another one and you get something completely the

1621
01:23:57,119 --> 01:24:14,939
right Ian does not good keep on Lord any other correspondence old business well I

1622
01:24:14,939 --> 01:24:20,699
guess I can mention this on our own business off the state troopers been in

1623
01:24:20,699 --> 01:24:27,180
town we get three days in a row actually it was on social media that he was here

1624
01:24:27,180 --> 01:24:31,859
one day and they said about time but he's been in town he was at least three

1625
01:24:31,859 --> 01:24:36,439
days I met him I wish I could remember his name right this second didn't write

1626
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:40,619
it down I've seen him he lives up in really hard

1627
01:24:40,619 --> 01:24:44,140
Sunday yes he the gentleman trying to find the order of the purple boy he was

1628
01:24:44,140 --> 01:24:50,239
I kind of was I had my first question is is so you stopped a guy he's mitted to

1629
01:24:50,239 --> 01:24:51,000
you he stole the bike

1630
01:24:51,020 --> 01:24:56,260
and you didn't ask him where it was came from because he was a lot because

1631
01:24:56,260 --> 01:24:59,600
the trooper was looking for the owner because so he's driving around asking

1632
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:03,319
anybody knows who the spike is and I'm like why did you ask the guy that's it I

1633
01:25:03,319 --> 01:25:09,000
don't know it's a good guy so but I mentioned while I had him had his

1634
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:14,239
attention I asked him to try to do more patrols down here he did mention the

1635
01:25:14,239 --> 01:25:18,439
same old story there's seven or eight of them and they have I don't really go

1636
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:21,020
from Manchester to Stanford you know so they got

1637
01:25:21,020 --> 01:25:25,300
a huge and there only work it's not like all a guys work in the same time

1638
01:25:25,300 --> 01:25:29,119
they have shifts so you have like three guys on duty

1639
01:25:29,119 --> 01:25:33,720
that means they're still six or seven understaffed right so it's just this is

1640
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:37,779
in the world it's too happy just couldn't give him just a cruise when it

1641
01:25:37,779 --> 01:25:44,779
goes out took aiem drive out a round he does and he has been you know I don't

1642
01:25:44,779 --> 01:25:48,380
know if anybody's seen him listen I'm he was that someone mentioned about

1643
01:25:48,380 --> 01:25:50,020
weekends wandering nights with Saturday night yeah I've seen him some time I know somebody now says see We've seen him a couple times on Saturday night when he goes out you know I don't know if anybody's ever saw him he was on someone mention about weekends what kinds of Saturday night yep Saturday night yep That means, was he sitting around on an empty bench?

1644
01:25:51,020 --> 01:25:55,640
so you can't get no better than Saturday night and he stayed all the way the

1645
01:25:55,640 --> 01:26:02,720
whole night back and forth yeah so you will hear down the road someone's gonna

1646
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:08,960
say why are state troopers in there I just got stopped that's too bad but I'm

1647
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:14,659
just saying at least there's that he's closer now he might be able to do a

1648
01:26:14,659 --> 01:26:18,319
little bit more even it like you said even if he drives through once along it

1649
01:26:18,319 --> 01:26:29,600
comes down turns around that presence he's a very nice guy and I will get his

1650
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:36,020
name again I'm sorry I had it in my head and I can't remember his name I think

1651
01:26:36,020 --> 01:26:43,100
it's Stevens officer Stevens that's been pretty sure but yeah I just want to let

1652
01:26:43,100 --> 01:26:48,939
you know that he wasn't okay I just like

1653
01:26:48,939 --> 01:26:54,159
to remind the board that we're doing a site inspection on Thursday August 1st

1654
01:26:54,159 --> 01:26:59,619
at quarter of five which will begin at the Stanford school and we're going up

1655
01:26:59,619 --> 01:27:11,470
to the intersection of trail number 301 no yes that's what we're starting 301

1656
01:27:11,470 --> 01:27:21,810
so I have some signs proposals that's under old or new

1657
01:27:22,810 --> 01:27:29,789
different sizes this is just to get you an idea of what a three by four square

1658
01:27:29,789 --> 01:27:38,699
12-square sign look like nice 12-square three by four that's perfect that's great

1659
01:27:38,699 --> 01:27:42,979
that's three by four that's beautiful and then this one's a little different

1660
01:27:42,979 --> 01:27:48,199
a little smaller different format but this is what a 12-square sign is could

1661
01:27:48,199 --> 01:27:53,640
we do both sides so it's yeah so this is one side on top and

1662
01:27:53,640 --> 01:28:25,659
school so this is like 30 by 54 it seems like it jumps out a little bit more yeah

1663
01:28:25,659 --> 01:28:40,960
well I'm yeah we're doing a two-sided sign and so that's within the zone

1664
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:49,710
within the zone take the end off Stanford school town office library yeah

1665
01:28:49,710 --> 01:28:56,970
I don't know if you want public library town library just library just library

1666
01:28:56,970 --> 01:28:57,949
which one do you like

1667
01:28:58,409 --> 01:29:10,970
which one do you like we'll go with that one this one this is a smaller one

1668
01:29:10,970 --> 01:29:17,350
not by much are the letters bigger or the same for school the paper school

1669
01:29:17,350 --> 01:29:22,810
plans bigger I see him side by side

1670
01:29:29,750 --> 01:29:35,510
between a standard school town office by word yeah you don't even need public

1671
01:29:35,510 --> 01:29:45,960
just library yep and this one's 30 by 54 or something like that but there this

1672
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:49,720
one's under 12 square that one is

1673
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:57,060
so that one fits in the bylaws they both they both do they both do

1674
01:29:57,060 --> 01:29:58,939
Can I take the and off and the public?

1675
01:29:58,939 --> 01:29:59,939
Yes.

1676
01:29:59,939 --> 01:30:00,939
Can you go back?

1677
01:30:01,060 --> 01:30:04,859
However, you guys want to sign I'm assuming it so you can see it driving both ways

1678
01:30:06,180 --> 01:30:08,539
Yeah, they're correct distance from the road

1679
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,680
We'll make sure we put it where it's supposed to be

1680
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:22,520
Yeah

1681
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:27,800
Can you put on the side

1682
01:30:32,340 --> 01:30:34,340
Just library

1683
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:44,659
Yeah, I mean this is just a general idea you guys can because change it however you guys want

1684
01:30:50,500 --> 01:30:55,380
For color yeah, yeah, maybe just take the public on

1685
01:30:55,380 --> 01:31:01,159
Polar very black or white. I don't know one coat. I know one person that would like green and white

1686
01:31:01,159 --> 01:31:06,859
I don't isn't that what the green yellow look like yellow or like the school of colors, right?

1687
01:31:07,819 --> 01:31:09,819
I do the Bobcat color

1688
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:12,689
I

1689
01:31:13,430 --> 01:31:15,430
Do you want

1690
01:31:17,689 --> 01:31:20,409
Hours to I guess the old sign was gray with

1691
01:31:21,529 --> 01:31:25,050
Jet has the questions gonna pay for it, so I've had several

1692
01:31:25,970 --> 01:31:31,170
Citizens in town that are willing to donate money. Mm-hmm. I'm willing to put money forward for a

1693
01:31:31,869 --> 01:31:34,270
Head if not foot it. Have you had a

1694
01:31:35,550 --> 01:31:37,810
Um jb3 quote of me

1695
01:31:39,170 --> 01:31:42,310
Like 700 bucks to do a seater sign two sides

1696
01:31:45,510 --> 01:31:47,510
And then you would have to

1697
01:31:47,609 --> 01:31:55,500
Install and whatever else but right. I mean I've already been told someone's like I'll give you $250 so

1698
01:31:55,579 --> 01:32:06,720
I don't think money's gonna be an issue so based on these two which one did you

1699
01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:12,359
like the best I like this one if we get rid of the hand and just say library I

1700
01:32:12,359 --> 01:32:34,609
like the long oh yeah you can probably do all in the same size right instead of

1701
01:32:34,609 --> 01:32:39,590
gold I figured to see if the school you want bigger because then I mean it makes

1702
01:32:39,590 --> 01:32:42,770
all the same size

1703
01:32:43,189 --> 01:32:47,189
yeah you probably have to go all does this you probably have to all go to like

1704
01:32:47,189 --> 01:32:50,989
this size or a size in between to get it all the fit and I like it just the way

1705
01:32:50,989 --> 01:32:56,479
this yeah I think having it different sizes jumps out makes it look like three

1706
01:32:56,479 --> 01:33:02,100
different things if all the words are exactly the same size it's gonna blend

1707
01:33:02,100 --> 01:33:04,300
together

1708
01:33:05,659 --> 01:33:10,979
yeah just know take the inside out and show where as it goes down yeah yeah

1709
01:33:10,979 --> 01:33:13,050
first period

1710
01:33:13,289 --> 01:33:16,090
yeah I like that I like this one

1711
01:33:16,090 --> 01:33:28,859
I think you're out of it oh well Mike said you like that one too well we'll see

1712
01:33:28,859 --> 01:33:32,100
what looks like should we hang them in here a lot of people think about it for

1713
01:33:32,100 --> 01:33:37,319
a couple days or what oh boy oh boy

1714
01:33:37,319 --> 01:33:42,319
John so he took the time to look at the guidelines for visual safety when you were drawing in a morgue year

1715
01:33:42,319 --> 01:33:43,319
Oh boy! Oh boy! I guess we'll hear from John so he took the time to look at the guidelines for visual safety when you were drawing in a morgue year

1716
01:33:43,319 --> 01:33:46,319
at 35,000 hours

1717
01:33:46,319 --> 01:33:47,319
What's that?

1718
01:33:47,319 --> 01:33:51,319
Guidelines for operating motor vehicle safety

1719
01:33:51,319 --> 01:33:52,319
Okay

1720
01:33:52,319 --> 01:33:57,319
There are guidelines for how big a font has to be visible safely from there

1721
01:33:57,319 --> 01:34:00,319
Dave do you know that? It is online

1722
01:34:00,319 --> 01:34:05,319
Well there is but I don't that's not a regulatory sign it's just a

1723
01:34:05,319 --> 01:34:08,319
Location sign yeah it's not a road sign

1724
01:34:08,319 --> 01:34:09,319
Okay

1725
01:34:09,319 --> 01:34:11,319
It's gonna be better than what we have now

1726
01:34:11,319 --> 01:34:13,319
So the next step then is

1727
01:34:13,319 --> 01:34:16,319
We have to apply for building permit

1728
01:34:16,319 --> 01:34:19,319
Hey talk to Deb say this is our submit that

1729
01:34:19,319 --> 01:34:22,319
Submit what the final result we'll submit

1730
01:34:22,319 --> 01:34:26,319
We'll tell her it's gonna go within the distance of where we have to put it

1731
01:34:26,319 --> 01:34:29,670
And file a permit

1732
01:34:29,670 --> 01:34:33,670
She should be able to approve it right then and there if it's within everything

1733
01:34:33,670 --> 01:34:36,670
And done deal it shouldn't even have to go to any boards

1734
01:34:36,670 --> 01:34:37,670
Right

1735
01:34:37,670 --> 01:34:38,670
Before we finalize the whole

1736
01:34:38,670 --> 01:34:39,670
What about the location then?

1737
01:34:39,670 --> 01:34:41,670
Well as I'm saying we'll have to go within the location

1738
01:34:41,670 --> 01:34:42,670
But you also have to consider the

1739
01:34:42,670 --> 01:34:44,670
The post that's gonna be on

1740
01:34:44,670 --> 01:34:48,560
Are they both three places

1741
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:50,560
The post can go behind well in the middle

1742
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:52,560
So that was a question

1743
01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:54,560
That was a question I had before we started was

1744
01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:57,560
Do the post come into play with the size of the sign

1745
01:34:57,560 --> 01:34:58,560
I don't know

1746
01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:01,970
I would say no I mean

1747
01:35:01,970 --> 01:35:03,970
You're talking the sign you know

1748
01:35:03,970 --> 01:35:04,970
Yeah so

1749
01:35:04,970 --> 01:35:05,970
I think we have an argument

1750
01:35:05,970 --> 01:35:06,970
So if you put

1751
01:35:06,970 --> 01:35:08,970
So you can put the post if it's a double sized sign

1752
01:35:08,970 --> 01:35:10,970
Maybe you can put the post in between the sign

1753
01:35:10,970 --> 01:35:13,970
Right so then it's just sticking out the bottom and that's fine

1754
01:35:13,970 --> 01:35:14,970
Yeah

1755
01:35:14,970 --> 01:35:18,970
If you put it on the building you wouldn't consider the size of the building for a sign

1756
01:35:18,970 --> 01:35:20,970
So it's the same thing

1757
01:35:20,970 --> 01:35:25,460
Okay

1758
01:35:25,460 --> 01:35:27,460
Well what's the speed limit 30 isn't it

1759
01:35:27,460 --> 01:35:29,460
Coming through town they shouldn't be going that fast anyway

1760
01:35:29,460 --> 01:35:31,460
Not when it's not school time

1761
01:35:31,460 --> 01:35:33,460
Yeah I'm not worried about that I just

1762
01:35:33,460 --> 01:35:35,460
I'm not sure about the post I don't know

1763
01:35:35,460 --> 01:35:36,460
I don't know either

1764
01:35:36,460 --> 01:35:39,460
That's a good question for our planning board committee

1765
01:35:39,460 --> 01:35:40,460
That's the CPA

1766
01:35:40,460 --> 01:35:41,460
Yep

1767
01:35:41,460 --> 01:35:43,460
I think it shouldn't be

1768
01:35:43,460 --> 01:35:46,460
From a high school standpoint only matters if it's in the right way

1769
01:35:46,460 --> 01:35:48,460
As far as what you use for a post

1770
01:35:48,460 --> 01:35:51,460
If it's in the right way which we can't have it in the right way anyway

1771
01:35:51,460 --> 01:35:52,460
Correct

1772
01:35:52,460 --> 01:35:54,460
If it were it'd have to be breakaway or shielded

1773
01:35:54,460 --> 01:35:55,680
Right

1774
01:35:55,680 --> 01:36:00,680
So if it's not in the right way I'm not sure it matters

1775
01:36:00,680 --> 01:36:02,510
Okay

1776
01:36:02,510 --> 01:36:07,510
Well I think we should do a final draft and present it to them

1777
01:36:07,510 --> 01:36:10,510
See if it goes through and then we'll go from there

1778
01:36:10,510 --> 01:36:11,510
Yep

1779
01:36:11,510 --> 01:36:14,510
If it don't and we have to go and ask for appearance because of the

1780
01:36:14,510 --> 01:36:17,510
If it's the poles or the location or whatever

1781
01:36:17,510 --> 01:36:18,510
Yeah the size

1782
01:36:18,510 --> 01:36:19,510
Right

1783
01:36:19,510 --> 01:36:20,510
Smaller

1784
01:36:20,510 --> 01:36:22,510
This one that we were looking at is slightly below

1785
01:36:22,510 --> 01:36:23,510
Slightly under

1786
01:36:23,510 --> 01:36:24,510
Right

1787
01:36:24,510 --> 01:36:25,510
So that would give us

1788
01:36:25,510 --> 01:36:27,510
Four by four post sticking out that much isn't going to add much

1789
01:36:27,510 --> 01:36:28,510
That would give us leeway

1790
01:36:28,510 --> 01:36:29,510
It's only four right

1791
01:36:29,510 --> 01:36:33,510
Yeah it's like 11.25 square and the other one is 12 square

1792
01:36:33,510 --> 01:36:36,510
So the 11.25 is better anyway for the

1793
01:36:36,510 --> 01:36:39,510
If we had that post close

1794
01:36:39,510 --> 01:36:41,510
And they say if it's within what 5% or something

1795
01:36:41,510 --> 01:36:44,510
Well you can see how big of a sign you get for 12 square

1796
01:36:44,510 --> 01:36:47,510
I mean it's not a bad size

1797
01:36:47,510 --> 01:36:48,510
Nope

1798
01:36:48,510 --> 01:36:52,510
I mean if you got to make it a little smaller or accommodate the posts

1799
01:36:52,510 --> 01:36:53,510
Then I think

1800
01:36:53,510 --> 01:36:55,510
That's a lot bigger than what we were pointing at

1801
01:36:55,510 --> 01:36:56,510
Yeah

1802
01:36:56,510 --> 01:36:57,510
Good job

1803
01:36:57,510 --> 01:36:58,510
Yep

1804
01:36:58,510 --> 01:36:59,510
Very good

1805
01:36:59,510 --> 01:37:00,510
I think we should move on

1806
01:37:00,510 --> 01:37:02,090
Do what

1807
01:37:02,090 --> 01:37:04,909
Yes

1808
01:37:04,909 --> 01:37:06,909
Anything else under old business

1809
01:37:06,909 --> 01:37:10,859
Yep

1810
01:37:10,859 --> 01:37:15,050
Um next meeting hazardous mitigation plan

1811
01:37:15,050 --> 01:37:19,050
Dara will be here for 15 minutes to review the plan

1812
01:37:19,050 --> 01:37:26,090
I think that she wants to do the 15th not

1813
01:37:26,090 --> 01:37:28,090
Oh the 15th

1814
01:37:28,090 --> 01:37:30,090
I think she can't do the first

1815
01:37:30,090 --> 01:37:31,220
Okay

1816
01:37:31,220 --> 01:37:33,279
Whatever date it is then

1817
01:37:33,279 --> 01:37:34,949
15

1818
01:37:34,949 --> 01:37:36,949
I think it's 8-15 she wants

1819
01:37:36,949 --> 01:37:41,000
8-15

1820
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:43,770
And while we're on that

1821
01:37:43,770 --> 01:37:45,770
8-15

1822
01:37:45,770 --> 01:37:47,770
August 15

1823
01:37:47,770 --> 01:37:49,770
August 15

1824
01:37:49,770 --> 01:37:55,979
You'll also have a liquor board meeting prior to that meeting

1825
01:37:55,979 --> 01:37:56,979
I'll try to remind you

1826
01:37:56,979 --> 01:37:58,979
So the next meeting coming up

1827
01:37:58,979 --> 01:38:00,979
You'll have to be early to the site visit

1828
01:38:00,979 --> 01:38:03,979
And the meeting after that you'll have to be early again

1829
01:38:03,979 --> 01:38:06,979
Because you'll have a liquor board meeting for Bill Muntz

1830
01:38:06,979 --> 01:38:09,300
Okay

1831
01:38:09,300 --> 01:38:11,300
The state has staggered them now

1832
01:38:11,300 --> 01:38:13,300
Instead of just having them all in one shot

1833
01:38:13,300 --> 01:38:16,300
We used to do them all in like February, March

1834
01:38:16,300 --> 01:38:17,300
So

1835
01:38:17,300 --> 01:38:20,359
Who was in charge of the liquor board?

1836
01:38:20,359 --> 01:38:21,359
We

1837
01:38:21,359 --> 01:38:22,359
We all are

1838
01:38:22,359 --> 01:38:23,359
We all are

1839
01:38:23,359 --> 01:38:25,390
Well I was just asking because the last

1840
01:38:25,390 --> 01:38:27,390
There was a meeting or two before

1841
01:38:27,390 --> 01:38:28,390
And it had different names on it

1842
01:38:28,390 --> 01:38:30,390
I was just curious

1843
01:38:30,390 --> 01:38:32,390
If they were the same people or not

1844
01:38:32,390 --> 01:38:34,550
It was funny we call it liquor board

1845
01:38:34,550 --> 01:38:36,550
But it's really the beer and wine

1846
01:38:36,550 --> 01:38:37,550
Right

1847
01:38:37,550 --> 01:38:38,649
Yeah

1848
01:38:38,649 --> 01:38:40,649
And the state usually sends us notices

1849
01:38:40,649 --> 01:38:42,649
Or sends them to Lori if there's violations

1850
01:38:42,649 --> 01:38:44,649
So we would look at that

1851
01:38:44,649 --> 01:38:47,060
We can approve it

1852
01:38:47,060 --> 01:38:51,779
Or not approve it

1853
01:38:51,779 --> 01:38:53,779
Any other new business?

1854
01:38:53,779 --> 01:38:58,140
Does anyone know what's going on with the burnt out house on Mill Road?

1855
01:38:58,140 --> 01:39:00,329
Any information on it?

1856
01:39:00,329 --> 01:39:03,329
Someone told me that there was lights going on off there

1857
01:39:03,329 --> 01:39:04,329
Like there

1858
01:39:04,329 --> 01:39:05,329
So I guess the concern was that kids might be going there?

1859
01:39:05,329 --> 01:39:06,329
No

1860
01:39:06,329 --> 01:39:07,329
If you notice anything

1861
01:39:07,329 --> 01:39:09,420
I would hope that the power would be shut off if it was

1862
01:39:09,420 --> 01:39:10,420
Had a fire in there

1863
01:39:10,420 --> 01:39:11,420
Maybe there was a flashlight

1864
01:39:11,420 --> 01:39:12,420
Oh yeah yeah

1865
01:39:12,420 --> 01:39:13,420
Some flashlights

1866
01:39:13,420 --> 01:39:14,510
I guess the concern was that someone might get injured in the house

1867
01:39:14,510 --> 01:39:15,510
Kid or whatever

1868
01:39:15,510 --> 01:39:16,510
Just thought I'd mention it

1869
01:39:16,510 --> 01:39:17,510
Oh I hope the homeowner's got good insurance

1870
01:39:17,510 --> 01:39:18,510
In case someone gets hurt in there

1871
01:39:18,510 --> 01:39:19,510
I believe there's an ongoing investigation so

1872
01:39:19,510 --> 01:39:20,510
If they take the house down they won't be able to rebuild it

1873
01:39:20,510 --> 01:39:21,510
That's you know

1874
01:39:21,510 --> 01:39:23,409
I don't know

1875
01:39:23,409 --> 01:39:24,409
I don't know

1876
01:39:24,409 --> 01:39:25,409
I don't know

1877
01:39:25,409 --> 01:39:26,409
I don't know

1878
01:39:26,409 --> 01:39:27,409
I don't know

1879
01:39:27,409 --> 01:39:28,409
I don't know

1880
01:39:28,409 --> 01:39:29,409
I don't know

1881
01:39:29,409 --> 01:39:30,409
I don't know

1882
01:39:30,409 --> 01:39:31,409
I don't know

1883
01:39:31,409 --> 01:39:32,409
I don't know

1884
01:39:32,409 --> 01:39:33,409
I don't know

1885
01:39:33,409 --> 01:39:34,409
I don't know

1886
01:39:34,409 --> 01:39:35,760
I don't know

1887
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:36,760
I don't

1888
01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:37,760
I don't know

1889
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:38,760
We know

1890
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:39,600
You know

1891
01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:42,760
Okay

1892
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:43,760
Another site visit

1893
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:44,760
Anything else?

1894
01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:45,760
Yes

1895
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:46,760
I'd like to make a motion

1896
01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:50,920
To go into executive session for personnel

1897
01:39:50,920 --> 01:39:52,399
During that executive session

1898
01:39:52,399 --> 01:39:53,810
I would like to ask Dave

1899
01:39:53,810 --> 01:39:56,949
I don't know if you were going to

1900
01:39:56,949 --> 01:39:57,949
Oh no

1901
01:39:57,949 --> 01:39:58,949
I would like to ask Dave

1902
01:39:58,949 --> 01:39:59,970
Just to stay for five minutes

1903
01:39:59,970 --> 01:40:00,970
Out of questions

1904
01:40:00,970 --> 01:40:03,210
It's nothing to do with personnel

1905
01:40:03,210 --> 01:40:05,369
It's another matter about

1906
01:40:05,369 --> 01:40:06,369
Maybe a purchase

1907
01:40:06,369 --> 01:40:06,770
Right

1908
01:40:06,789 --> 01:40:23,680
Thank you very much for coming, good meeting and thank you.

1909
01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:24,680
Good.

1910
01:40:24,680 --> 01:40:51,279
Tom, my first wife died from eating poison mushrooms.

1911
01:40:51,279 --> 01:40:55,359
My second wife died from gunshot wound, she wanted to eat the poison mushrooms.

1912
01:40:55,800 --> 01:41:04,909
I used to pick them all the time, the cows are in here, don't worry about them, the cows

1913
01:41:04,909 --> 01:41:05,909
won't bother you.

1914
01:41:05,909 --> 01:41:06,909
We'll get it.

1915
01:41:06,909 --> 01:41:07,909
Alright, good night, thank you.

1916
01:41:07,909 --> 01:41:08,909
Alright, so that's the one.

1917
01:41:08,909 --> 01:41:09,909
Oh yes, just accepted Denalt's letter.

1918
01:41:09,909 --> 01:41:30,159
Johnny thought if you need any money for that sign, let me know, that's a no brainer.

1919
01:41:30,159 --> 01:41:31,659
Let's get this behind us.

1920
01:41:31,659 --> 01:41:38,659
I'll look into her concern with the font size and see if that's an issue or whatever.

1921
01:41:38,659 --> 01:41:46,659
I think it's, Dave talked to her when he left and it's more of like her road signs and regulatory

1922
01:41:46,659 --> 01:41:47,659
stuff.

1923
01:41:47,659 --> 01:41:51,659
I think you just got to maybe check with Deb and say here's our...

1924
01:41:51,659 --> 01:41:52,659
Yeah, she'll tell us.

1925
01:41:52,659 --> 01:41:57,159
Yeah, so I'll have another one made up, I'll have the end taken off, the public taken off,

1926
01:41:57,159 --> 01:41:58,159
just the library.

1927
01:41:58,159 --> 01:41:59,159
And if Dad comes with something...

1928
01:41:59,159 --> 01:42:00,159
And I'll leave it.

1929
01:42:00,159 --> 01:42:05,760
I'll leave it here in the office so Deb can check it out and then, I don't know, we'll

1930
01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:06,760
go from there.

1931
01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:07,760
We can do the permit.

1932
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:08,760
We can ask her about the post card.

1933
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:09,760
We'll ask her about the post, the poster card of the sign.

1934
01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:10,760
It was never clear on whether it did or not.

1935
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:20,760
I feel like the 12 square feet for this town sign is...
