68 00:03:42,259 --> 00:03:43,259 Aye. 69 00:03:43,259 --> 00:03:46,020 Aye. 70 00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:47,020 Dave is not here for road conditions, but is this where you want to do the grant agreement? 71 00:03:47,020 --> 00:03:48,020 Grants in aid. 72 00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:57,409 He met with Jim Henderson, and they decided, well, there's no deal on that. 73 00:03:57,409 --> 00:03:58,409 I know. 74 00:03:58,409 --> 00:03:59,409 But we have to do it. 75 00:03:59,409 --> 00:04:00,409 We have to do it. 76 00:04:00,409 --> 00:04:01,729 And they decided, well, I can't do it. 77 00:04:01,729 --> 00:04:02,729 You can't do it. 78 00:04:02,729 --> 00:04:03,729 I just have to deal with it. 79 00:04:03,729 --> 00:04:04,229 You can't do it. 80 00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:11,229 an area on Jefferson Road to replace two undersized culverts and some stone line 81 00:04:11,229 --> 00:04:30,370 ditches. They're thinking it would be a $7,000 grant with a town match of $1,750 worth and that that was a good place to concentrate on. 82 00:04:30,370 --> 00:04:36,680 Motion to sign. Second. Second. All in favor? Aye. 83 00:04:36,680 --> 00:05:12,689 All in favor? Aye. 84 00:05:12,689 --> 00:05:29,959 Thank you. 85 00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:47,459 Road conditions. Dave is not here, but he got last meeting he was going to call around to see who could give us quotes on removing the debris 86 00:05:47,459 --> 00:05:53,459 from the last storm, all the trees that are down on the town road. So he talked, I guess, 87 00:05:53,459 --> 00:05:54,459 Brayder Heights. 88 00:05:54,459 --> 00:06:09,339 Brayder Heights was down here and then John Dunn also put in a bid to remove some of the debris. So do we, where's the bids? 89 00:06:09,339 --> 00:06:18,110 I've got more information on Brayder Heights, but John do you, I can't ask you to recuse yourself. 90 00:06:18,110 --> 00:06:27,110 I would excuse myself, but I personally, like I've done business with Brayder Heights, I think they're a great crew and they're great 91 00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:28,110 people. 92 00:06:28,110 --> 00:06:33,490 They're great guys. If they can take care of it, I have no problem with them doing the work. 93 00:06:33,490 --> 00:06:48,040 But you don't have to recuse yourself. I'm just, now Dave called me this morning and I guess Brayder Heights got back to him and said, 94 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:57,040 if you want us to remove the brush instead of chipping it on site there, they would remove the brush and just bring it up to our brush 95 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,329 dump and it would be cheaper than that bid. 96 00:07:00,329 --> 00:07:09,329 So because John put in a bid, Dave did not want to make the decision on his own. That's why he said we should do it. 97 00:07:09,329 --> 00:07:10,329 That's fair. 98 00:07:10,329 --> 00:07:14,360 He felt uncomfortable with this. 99 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:25,970 If this wasn't, if this wasn't John asking a big question of, you know, I guess it's a hard thing to compare quotes. 100 00:07:25,970 --> 00:07:29,970 You know, one guy drives around and says, this is what I think I got to do with the other guy. 101 00:07:29,970 --> 00:07:32,970 This doesn't seem like there's apples and apples there. 102 00:07:32,970 --> 00:07:35,970 So I wouldn't have a problem. 103 00:07:35,970 --> 00:07:39,970 It doesn't seem like you have a problem with this letting them do it. 104 00:07:39,970 --> 00:07:46,970 No, they have the equipment, the crew, they'd probably be done in a day, you know. 105 00:07:46,970 --> 00:07:47,970 Yeah. 106 00:07:47,970 --> 00:08:00,120 From what I've discussed from with Dave on this 37 whatever, that was them kind of going around with a picker truck. 107 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,120 And just grabbing everything. 108 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,120 So they make real short work of it. 109 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,120 They're not going to be chipping the brush. 110 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:13,639 They're just going to grab it, throw it in the truck and bring it back to the shop and probably throw it in a pile somewhere and be done with it. 111 00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:18,639 I was really, really curious that I would bring this to the board while we're looking at tree work. 112 00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:23,639 And we were discussing about tree work the other day at the top of the lane with certain trees. 113 00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:30,639 Is it worth, while we're having these guys do the work in town, is it worth having them look at any other trees? 114 00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:35,639 And adding it to the ticket and taking care of it while they're here in town doing the work. 115 00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:36,639 That's a good question. 116 00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:37,639 Yes. 117 00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:38,639 It would make sense. 118 00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:43,960 One of the things is did we ever get any response back from the letter that we sent? 119 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:44,960 Yes. 120 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:45,960 We did. 121 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,960 What was that response? 122 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:57,960 Dave spoke to the lady going up the lane on the left-hand side and everything was okay with removing those trees. 123 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,960 That's awesome. 124 00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:00,960 Yes. 125 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:09,960 And the fellow on the top of the lane had no problem, but Dave still got to get in touch with him because he had another question for Dave. 126 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,960 He didn't give me the question. 127 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,960 He wanted to talk to Dave. 128 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,960 That, those particular trees right there are a safety problem. 129 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,960 I mean, if you go up there, you can see it. 130 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:27,960 If John's idea is they're already in town, why don't we see if Dave can add that to it and see what the price is. 131 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,960 And I have no problem with moves. 132 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:40,960 I'm not going to move forward on what they've already quoted, but if they want to add to it and that looks reasonable, I think we should just give Dave permission to go ahead. 133 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:47,370 Because an extra grand to take those trees down is nothing. 134 00:09:47,370 --> 00:09:51,370 I'm not saying that's what it's going to be, but those are big trees. 135 00:09:51,370 --> 00:09:54,750 There's a lot there. 136 00:09:54,750 --> 00:09:56,750 Do you guys agree? 137 00:09:56,750 --> 00:09:57,750 I totally agree. 138 00:09:57,750 --> 00:09:58,750 Yeah. 139 00:09:58,750 --> 00:09:59,750 Oh, yeah. 140 00:09:59,750 --> 00:10:00,750 That's a good idea. 141 00:10:00,750 --> 00:10:02,750 The quote's always going to be the last one. 142 00:10:02,750 --> 00:10:03,750 They don't have to come back. 143 00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:04,750 Exactly. 144 00:10:04,750 --> 00:10:05,750 They're here. 145 00:10:05,750 --> 00:10:06,750 I don't know where they're coming from. 146 00:10:06,750 --> 00:10:08,750 So, I mean, I don't know how you want to approach it. 147 00:10:08,750 --> 00:10:16,940 If you want to, John and I actually had a talk prior to the meeting on the way up to the site then. 148 00:10:16,940 --> 00:10:23,940 And to kick things around back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, it's not always in the best interest of the town. 149 00:10:23,940 --> 00:10:26,129 Bill just mentioned something before the town. 150 00:10:26,129 --> 00:10:27,129 We'll bring that up, too. 151 00:10:27,129 --> 00:10:30,360 But we've been kicking a lot of things around. 152 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:44,360 If we know this is going to be cheaper, let's give Dave the permission to say, okay, look, I'm going to fall within an extra X amount of dollars and do those trees on the top of the lane. 153 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,360 If it's just outrageous, Dave, he's good at it. 154 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,360 Let him use his common sense. 155 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,360 Now, if there's other trees in town, I don't know how much we can do. 156 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,360 But if those two we already talked about, that is definitely a safety problem. 157 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,679 Yeah. 158 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,679 Agreed. 159 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:02,679 Is that a motion? 160 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:03,679 Go ahead, Kurt. 161 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,679 I was hoping that was one. 162 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:17,679 Well, I can make the motion to, the motion, but if they want to go and just drop the brush off, I would say let's motion to allow Dave to negotiate this. 163 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,679 You know, if this is going to go down by dropping, you know, use your best interest. 164 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,679 So, if it's going to go up to our brush pile, by all means, go ahead. 165 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:27,679 Right. 166 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:28,679 And if they can do these other two trees. 167 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,679 Yeah. 168 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,679 If they can do these other trees with a reasonable cost, and Dave knows that. 169 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:33,679 Yeah. 170 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:34,679 It's not going to be. 171 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:35,679 At Dave's discretion. 172 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:36,679 It shouldn't double this number. 173 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,679 No. 174 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:38,679 No. 175 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:39,679 So, let's say, okay, Dave, you know it's a reasonable cost. 176 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,679 The quote's fairly low, in my opinion. 177 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:41,679 So, let him. 178 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:42,679 Yeah. 179 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:43,679 No, I think it's fair. 180 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,679 Let him go. 181 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,679 Give Dave the permission to

00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:01,279 Sorry. 300 00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:09,019 mitigation plan that hasn't been signed so you did say that a person's going to come next week 301 00:14:09,019 --> 00:14:14,919 or next meeting next meeting to the next meeting um i have the resolution and i have the agreement 302 00:14:14,919 --> 00:14:21,899 she's faxed them to me but she would like to come present them okay so i don't want it to go any 303 00:14:21,899 --> 00:14:28,179 farther than that guys because we're missing out on grant money so we've already missed out on five 304 00:14:28,179 --> 00:14:37,909 percent correct of a 20 000 so that's a thousand dollars so and you're saying there's other grants 305 00:14:37,909 --> 00:14:43,450 correct what what grant was that that we missed out on on the oh the fema reimbursement right the 306 00:14:43,450 --> 00:14:50,139 fema percent yeah so we lost that and there are several other grants that are still pending i 307 00:14:50,139 --> 00:14:58,259 thought um the other ones that dave has aren't aren't female grants but it could 308 00:14:58,259 --> 00:14:58,740 still 309 00:14:58,740 --> 00:15:05,320 come up at any time did i read somewhere that if we're in the process of updating our plan 310 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:13,240 that maybe they would be retroactive looks like fema didn't think so right but at the end of the 311 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:20,940 day we're gonna approve whatever they approve if we're not we're not gonna change if dara sent you 312 00:15:20,940 --> 00:15:30,379 a resolution why can't you accept the resolution let her come and explain it 313 00:15:30,379 --> 00:15:31,980 yeah 314 00:15:31,980 --> 00:15:32,000 yeah 315 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:32,039 yeah 316 00:15:32,039 --> 00:15:32,080 yeah 317 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:32,460 yeah 318 00:15:32,460 --> 00:15:32,480 yeah 319 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,919 we can do a two week resolution and she's died 320 00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:37,460 in two weeks 321 00:15:37,460 --> 00:15:49,039 i guess we didn't figure two weeks would matter and she wanted to she wanted to be here i don't know if this is part of her well i don't know if two weeks doesn't matter because there's no grants available right now that's fine but i don't want to go further than that so you know let's keep this out on the back burner then and say look let's don't kick 322 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:55,779 don't kick this down the road and kick it down the road because we're going to move 323 00:15:55,779 --> 00:15:56,679 down 324 00:15:56,679 --> 00:16:01,720 who's kicking it down the road we are or she is well i don't know that's right it sounds like 325 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:06,840 we we have to wait it always seems like we're waiting for others we should kick some things 326 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:13,000 back sarah answered them well the state went back and forth with her like five times so she really 327 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:20,840 did stay on top of it trying to get the biggest delay was hoping and losing people that were 328 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:27,720 working on it and we're not doing the pushing we shouldn't penalize for it no it's not you guys 329 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,519 felt really it's not like you've been sitting on this for a long time and fema only does 75 330 00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:40,039 but the iraq through the state of vermont does extra if we have hazard mitigation and if we 331 00:16:40,039 --> 00:16:45,480 have all these other things in the road because we don't vermont isn't taking in that extra 10 332 00:16:48,090 --> 00:16:52,490 okay you had a question too that was it but just let's not let 333 00:16:52,570 --> 00:16:55,610 it go too far once we sign if it's in our hands 334 00:17:01,850 --> 00:17:05,690 five years eight years it's good for it yeah the ratio of the plan 335 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,440 yeah it was supposed to be 336 00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:22,039 the other thing under emergency management uh i did see on uh media there social media 337 00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:23,240 bob mentioned something about 338 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:29,319 signing up for the vermont alert alert system just keep putting that in the minutes uh it's 339 00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:34,599 a good system it's if people should do that you'll you know it's just that one other 340 00:17:34,599 --> 00:17:49,690 tool that we can have moving on to discussion offer to purchase lot 188 in alcohol so i received an 341 00:17:49,690 --> 00:17:56,650 email from aaron tyler who would like to make an offer of 500 for lot 188 342 00:18:04,490 --> 00:18:04,990 we 343 00:18:05,849 --> 00:18:12,490 got a tax sale for a couple thousand do we want to ask him for more or do we want to 344 00:18:14,009

you guys usually just it's not 346 00:18:25,369 --> 00:18:32,009 making any money sitting in our hands so is he in a butter i don't think he owns any right now 347 00:18:32,569 --> 00:18:35,849 one of the things that was brought up a couple years ago is what especially the 348 00:18:36,009 --> 00:18:38,170 with COVID, people were buying 349 00:18:38,170 --> 00:18:39,789 land up in Stanford, buying land 350 00:18:39,789 --> 00:18:42,130 at the wall, and they were flipping it. 351 00:18:42,210 --> 00:18:43,930 They were buying it, and then they were saying, 352 00:18:44,029 --> 00:18:46,529 okay, I bought it for $500, I put it up for sale for $10,000. 353 00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:48,150 And you know, you get 354 00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:49,990 $5,000, you say, cha-ching, I'm happy. 355
