1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,050
The reason why I asked this, I was going to have another follow-up question later on, but I can ask it now.

2
00:00:08,669 --> 00:00:12,230
We've talked about joint meetings way back.

3
00:00:12,750 --> 00:00:16,129
You said you said something's on your head, or something's on your head.

4
00:00:16,129 --> 00:00:20,710
I know we're after the budget time, but has that, have you heard anything at all yet?

5
00:00:21,030 --> 00:00:21,170
Yeah.

6
00:00:21,690 --> 00:00:25,960
So my other question is, and I'm full of questions tonight.

7
00:00:26,019 --> 00:00:26,480
Oh, boy.

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,859
Has everyone on the board, have you?

9
00:00:31,019 --> 00:00:33,119
Has everyone on this board met the principal?

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:34,100
No.

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:34,820
I haven't met her.

12
00:00:34,979 --> 00:00:36,179
Okay, and I haven't either.

13
00:00:36,420 --> 00:00:43,119
And I thought way back when the principal was hired, we asked, you know, to invite her here and introduce ourselves.

14
00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:48,740
I thought it would have been easier for her to come here individually and try to introduce herself.

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,200
But I was talking to one of her school board members.

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,539
She's at every school board meeting.

17
00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:58,439
Might be a good time for us to follow up on that.

18
00:00:59,140 --> 00:01:00,479
We'd like to introduce you.

19
00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:01,140
Yeah.

20
00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:01,200
Yeah.

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:01,219
Yeah.

22
00:01:01,219 --> 00:01:14,000
We'd like to work with them and get those budget, or those joint meetings back again so we can talk about the things we were talking about and move forward a little bit instead of just talking about it and getting a can down the road all the time.

23
00:01:15,150 --> 00:01:16,900
Those are, I think that's all my questions.

24
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:23,260
Yeah, to meet the principal, that was with the, with Mr. L., Randy, wasn't it?

25
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:24,980
Well, no, I know when she came.

26
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:25,980
And we never.

27
00:01:26,180 --> 00:01:32,480
She, when I know when she came on, too, I'm pretty sure I mentioned it would be nice to, you know, talk to her.

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:42,560
Talk to the new principal and introduce ourselves and start a new relationship with the principal and there's a new school board that we have.

29
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:48,439
There's at least two new school board members that we have not had a joint meeting with those people.

30
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:48,760
Right.

31
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:49,420
So that's good.

32
00:01:49,420 --> 00:01:50,000
So now we're going to have a problem.

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,939
So we're going to have, in March, that's about a year.

34
00:01:52,439 --> 00:02:01,640
And it just seems like if we, we have all these things we've talked about and now we have these new people, including our board, we have new people.

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,459
It would be nice.

36
00:02:02,459 --> 00:02:12,009
It would be nice to, I mean, I know you've been to a lot of meetings, but, you know, John and Doug, or John and Doug have it in, you know, the school board meetings.

37
00:02:12,430 --> 00:02:20,800
It would be nice to introduce them to what we were talking about during those joint meetings, right down to, you know, the snow removal and stuff like that.

38
00:02:20,860 --> 00:02:24,500
So do you want me to set something up with the principal to come here?

39
00:02:24,860 --> 00:02:25,699
Or what way?

40
00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:26,300
Wait for the election.

41
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,159
So there's going to be.

42
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:28,800
And start a joint meeting there right now.

43
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,479
Wait for the new board.

44
00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:32,659
But if we, and that's only a month from now.

45
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:32,860
Yeah.

46
00:02:32,860 --> 00:02:32,879
Yeah.

47
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:32,900
Yeah.

48
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:32,919
Yeah.

49
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:32,939
Yeah.

50
00:02:32,939 --> 00:02:32,960
Yeah.

51
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:33,020
Yeah.

52
00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:33,039
Yeah.

53
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:33,060
Yeah.

54
00:02:33,060 --> 00:02:33,300
Yeah.

55
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:33,319
Yeah.

56
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:36,099
Yeah.

57
00:02:36,099 --> 00:02:36,240
Yeah.

58
00:02:36,259 --> 00:02:36,360
Yeah.

59
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:36,439
Yeah.

60
00:02:36,620 --> 00:02:36,719
Yeah.

61
00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:36,900
Yeah.

62
00:02:37,219 --> 00:02:43,979
And say we want to wait until we have the elections, but then maybe we can have a joint meeting and that's when we can meet them.

63
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:44,360
Right.

64
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:46,979
We don't have to have her come here especially for that.

65
00:02:47,379 --> 00:02:55,430
But, you know, I just think it's important that we sit down in a school and talk to each other about certain, especially budget stuff, you know.

66
00:02:55,870 --> 00:03:02,250
But, you know, I guess you hear a lot of stuff on the street.

67
00:03:02,530 --> 00:03:02,750
Okay.

68
00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:04,689
And some of it's rumors.

69
00:03:04,689 --> 00:03:11,810
over BS and nothing is done on the street or on Facebook it gets done sit

70
00:03:11,810 --> 00:03:17,110
down and do something I just want to see that the superintendent comes here to

71
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:21,430
every meeting I think and he seems like he's really in the old one didn't so

72
00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:24,310
that'd be nice to have the superintendent at the same meeting we

73
00:03:24,310 --> 00:03:31,599
need everybody all at the same time and he could say yes this budget or this

74
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:36,939
charge on the school could be handled by the town because there's something

75
00:03:36,939 --> 00:03:42,139
you can't move over I don't want to get into all this rumor stuff

76
00:03:42,139 --> 00:03:46,479
but I had a person come down the shop the other day and said something about holy

77
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:53,219
crap the taxes are going to go up again the select board you know is spending too much

78
00:03:53,219 --> 00:03:57,659
money on it and I didn't want to throw the school under the bus but I'm like you

79
00:03:57,659 --> 00:04:01,580
know we went up I think it was less than five percent for our total

80
00:04:01,580 --> 00:04:07,939
budget and especially the highway was less than that the school and I'm not

81
00:04:07,939 --> 00:04:12,710
blaming that on the board I'm saying we're up 13 and a half percent and it's

82
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:18,709
going to go up again and they're yelling at us we have no control over that you know I mean

83
00:04:18,709 --> 00:04:23,870
think about it is cost of living went up under the government standards nine

84
00:04:23,870 --> 00:04:28,170
percent we all know that's a bunch of bull we know that went up more than that and we

85
00:04:28,170 --> 00:04:31,550
kept it down to the old five percent what else can we do

86
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:37,310
you can't and I had this conversation a million times we can't regulate the cost

87
00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:42,350
of diesel and we can't regulate the cost of you know sand and salt those type of

88
00:04:42,350 --> 00:04:46,790
things are locked in there's insurance companies where we go wait to the

89
00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:51,129
American is there a cheaper liability insurance out there of course not at all

90
00:04:51,129 --> 00:04:59,180
so I will let the principal know and a couple of the school board members that

91
00:04:59,180 --> 00:05:01,879
are still on that we'd like to set this up for

92
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:07,000
a March meeting sure when when they're in it that's a good idea after the

93
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,560
election but you know we have all this new group but if we notified now we might

94
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,600
hear from them by that there's two open seats right yeah yeah yeah on the street

95
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:25,459
or two open seats on this floor also it could definitely change but in the past

96
00:05:25,459 --> 00:05:31,920
when we tried to notify and the response seems to take a while this last time it

97
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:32,540
hasn't even changed

98
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:51,290
right right okay what else on those old conditions day any plan for the ripples

99
00:05:51,290 --> 00:05:57,769
in the dirt because I was coming up I did your road

100
00:05:57,769 --> 00:06:03,300
yeah you can't grade the rope alert

101
00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:23,310
there there's no way you're cutting the gravel in the winter time no and if you

102
00:06:23,310 --> 00:06:32,290
did as soon as it would just I'll make mud that's I'm sorry but it's okay thank

103
00:06:32,290 --> 00:06:32,490
you

104
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:40,329
thank you now another issue now okay quick the snowmobile trail that was

105
00:06:40,329 --> 00:06:44,889
supposed to be up for a shelf for the going out plowing all the way close from

106
00:06:44,889 --> 00:06:51,029
class 3 class 4 by runs by where runs all the way to the high tensions is

107
00:06:51,029 --> 00:07:04,579
clouded there's no shelf on the side and that's the snowmobile trail and remember I asked that was that was on the landowner right you guys allowed him to

108
00:07:04,579 --> 00:07:15,519
here

109
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:19,680
that I don't think the

110
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:25,800
the town has a policy for leaving shelfari stone you know rim he said he was gonna do it yeah yeah

111
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,019
and I see a little snow on the road yes

112
00:07:30,019 --> 00:07:30,579
yes because in fact aromatic grass

113
00:07:30,579 --> 00:07:34,439
Magic

114
00:07:34,579 --> 00:07:40,899
you did i remember you asked him and he said yeah we'll we'll do that but i mean i don't think the

115
00:07:40,899 --> 00:07:47,620
town itself says you have to leave i mean you know i respect you but i don't think the town

116
00:07:47,620 --> 00:07:53,939
has a policy that says hey you have to leave the shelf for snowmobiles nor do i believe that it's

117
00:07:53,939 --> 00:08:05,050
that actual designated snowmobile trail by who who designates it kind of stanford we need to drive 264

118
00:08:06,250 --> 00:08:07,370
dollars in the main quarter

119
00:08:17,370 --> 00:08:22,810
so would vast have a machine that can put that extra shelf on the side or something

120
00:08:24,490 --> 00:08:29,209
out from your room right okay that's the reason why i asked to leave the snow there

121
00:08:30,009 --> 00:08:36,649
yeah i remember saying so i mean maybe you can reach out to brian and say hey can you can i drive

122
00:08:36,649 --> 00:08:42,570
through your yard yeah right right i mean you don't want us to drive over people's yards

123
00:08:44,970 --> 00:08:48,649
yeah they're not plowing with the gravel there's a small bag on the road yeah

124
00:08:49,370 --> 00:08:52,730
and that's as good as you're going to get i think some of those go right to blackhawk

125
00:08:54,059 --> 00:08:54,700
to get from

126
00:08:54,940 --> 00:08:59,419
here today

127
00:08:59,419 --> 00:09:04,620
yeah there's no way you can do two ball things in the half or so you know you're gonna have to walk

128
00:09:04,620 --> 00:09:13,750
the road you know yeah i think um i'm one of those guys that looks at policies i have to look and see

129
00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:21,029
what our policies are for both things um he's plowed in the past and there's never an issue

130
00:09:21,029 --> 00:09:26,629
what the issue is now he's gone farther i think that's why farther back on the road or no far

131
00:09:26,789 --> 00:09:32,710
they're up the road so i don't even know i know there's there's two people that plow there

132
00:09:33,350 --> 00:09:39,990
one is a couple from boston and they only go up to the first camp on the left pass where it stops

133
00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:45,110
and not only you know what brian did last year and now he is so i would say that the snowmobile

134
00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:49,750
trail starter is less important than the people that own the property access and they're probably

135
00:09:49,750 --> 00:09:56,309
right the only uh probably just the beginning it's probably just the beginning anyway excuse me they are seasonal right

136
00:09:56,789 --> 00:10:03,269
i think yeah they're taxing you okay it's only a matter of time before um and we do have a policy

137
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:08,789
allowing that on the plot right so what we told them i think we signed that contract better time

138
00:10:08,789 --> 00:10:14,950
before it's developed all the way around who's the other one just changing clausen i would say

139
00:10:14,950 --> 00:10:27,559
not to complain before you just can't use it we're making an issue okay yeah we'll

140
00:10:28,820 --> 00:10:32,899
i'll look and see if there's anything we can do with the powers that i don't think we can

141
00:10:35,179 --> 00:10:39,500
well we've got that we're going to review and sign the road following agreement tonight for

142

forest give us the land back good luck i mean they'll bury you in court for the rest of your

160
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:49,899
life yeah they they're not giving the land back guys i'm just telling you it's not gonna happen

161
00:12:50,460 --> 00:12:55,100
but every time we let the state step in and do a little bit here a little bit there it's gonna

162
00:12:55,100 --> 00:13:02,330
take more simple as that and people love these free things oh we're getting a grant that's great

163
00:13:02,330 --> 00:13:07,129
let's let the state do this let's say do that be careful that's all i can do

164
00:13:07,289 --> 00:13:11,820
know warn and care for i agree yeah

165
00:13:13,419 --> 00:13:20,070
and then if you get used to it and then they take it away it's even worse school gets used

166
00:13:20,070 --> 00:13:23,590
to getting money from the state and then they take it away how do you run it

167
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:31,240
mine is the the absentee ballots keep the state it right out of it right okay if you wanna have

168
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:37,639
everybody have absentee ballots pay the clerks let them do the work and ask and get off your duff

169
00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:45,159
and say i want to ask you to ballot the state government big brother let's take care of that

170
00:13:47,019 --> 00:13:50,860
we're on tv right jim yeah thank you there it is okay

171
00:13:53,340 --> 00:13:55,659
all right it's an opinion you don't like it

172
00:13:57,980 --> 00:14:06,620
yeah review and sign revised requests for 2024 grant in a grant of payment lori's got some

173
00:14:06,620 --> 00:14:10,299
background on that we because we signed it and thought we were getting paid meanwhile

174
00:14:10,299 --> 00:14:18,220
ways ago for the whole grant amount i submitted it and the state realized that the bcrc work that

175
00:14:18,220 --> 00:14:27,049
they did was a week past the grants deadline so they do not want to pay the thousand dollar

176
00:14:27,049 --> 00:14:32,970
reimbursement for the bcrc to work so now instead of getting the full ten thousand dollar grant

177
00:14:32,970 --> 00:14:36,490
we're only getting three thousand for the their state you know up to zero percent figure all that

178
00:14:36,490 --> 00:14:36,570
picture is uh it's pretty amazing

179
00:14:36,570 --> 00:14:36,730
resource management back the state it's pretty incredible

180
00:14:36,730 --> 00:14:36,789
background kind of approach some kind of greenropolis if you want to slap down the action

181
00:14:36,789 --> 00:14:44,529
going to get $9,300 plus we have to pay for VCR we still have to pay for the VCRC

182
00:14:44,529 --> 00:14:53,169
yeah so I had to pull the VCRC bill out of the request for reimbursement and I

183
00:14:53,169 --> 00:15:01,700
have a new one for you to sign. I guess this is a follow-up to what I was just talking about

184
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:07,039
you can't fight him. What are you going to do? Take him to court? What a lawyer to cost you $1,000 a year?

185
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:20,039
No, but we can talk to the state rep. I hear he's coming down to visit our town. Our rep is coming here and we should talk to him.

186
00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:27,039
The state gives us all the salary. It is this week though isn't it? Yeah. He's supposed to be here more than one time.

187
00:15:27,039 --> 00:15:35,039
Sadly every month. Nice. So we're supposed to do this right and then they give us so they give us some money to do it

188
00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:37,200
and then the

189
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:44,480
mediator between the town and the state who legitimizes the whole thing does it a week late.

190
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:53,730
He, she, whatever they didn't do their job. Well they did. Well it's like it was late right? Yeah.

191
00:15:53,730 --> 00:16:03,730
So we're punished for their tardiness. Yeah. We're punished for their tardiness but we don't even we didn't even send in the paperwork for the whole thing until December so what does it matter?

192
00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:09,269
Right. It doesn't matter.

193
00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:10,269
So do you want me to call

194
00:16:10,269 --> 00:16:14,269
Jonathan Cooper and see what he can do about it?

195
00:16:14,269 --> 00:16:16,450
I don't know why not.

196
00:16:16,450 --> 00:16:22,450
It's ridiculous. Somebody needs to, it's ridiculous. They're penalizing us for nothing.

197
00:16:22,450 --> 00:16:32,769
Realistically they used to pay the BCRC themselves but then for some reason or another decided that they wanted us to pay them so they gave us the money.

198
00:16:32,769 --> 00:16:39,190
And then we get reimbursed. If it was on time we would have gotten reimbursed for us paying them.

199
00:16:39,190 --> 00:16:40,190
But normally.

200
00:16:40,190 --> 00:16:41,190
Instead of just paying them.

201
00:16:41,190 --> 00:16:46,190
But normally up till this year like last year and the previous years they would just pay the BCRC.

202
00:16:46,190 --> 00:16:49,190
It's almost like they're hoping for it to be late.

203
00:16:49,190 --> 00:16:51,190
Because they wanted them to do it.

204
00:16:51,190 --> 00:16:58,600
Because like I said it legitimizes the whole thing because otherwise I could inspect my homework say it's all good.

205
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,830
Well it's, yeah.

206
00:17:00,830 --> 00:17:04,240
And then we get the money.

207
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:12,130
So and then we complain to the state about it and I'm sorry it's tough but that's what it is.

208
00:17:12,130 --> 00:17:13,130
There you go. There you go.

209
00:17:13,130 --> 00:17:16,319
She couldn't even spell tough to you without that.

210
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:25,319
Tell them you didn't spell that right so we get their letters and we're still not paying them.

211
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:26,319
Who's going to have this day?

212
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:29,319
You make the money.

213
00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:32,220
I think we should.

214
00:17:32,220 --> 00:17:33,220
Okay.

215
00:17:33,220 --> 00:17:36,220
You owe us our state rep when we get there.

216
00:17:36,220 --> 00:17:41,220
Do you want a two-sided reimbursement form tonight or do you want a living?

217
00:17:41,220 --> 00:17:43,220
Let's hold off until we get to Summit Railway.

218
00:17:44,220 --> 00:17:45,440
You sure?

219
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,440
Wait a minute.

220
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,440
It says it's got to be in by December 30th.

221
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,440
Don't forget about it, okay?

222
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:57,440
Well if we talk to him and we can get more and we can get a new letter, you know.

223
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,440
Do you want to sign it and not send it in?

224
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,440
Wait.

225
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:02,440
You sure?

226
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,440
Yeah.

227
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:08,440
That way if you know in a couple of days that we can choose to send it in or not as opposed to.

228
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,440
Right.

229
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,440
Yeah.

230
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,980
There you go.

231
00:18:12,980 --> 00:18:13,980
Yes sir.

232
00:18:13,980 --> 00:18:14,980
Yes you.

233
00:18:14,980 --> 00:18:15,980
Thank you.

234
00:18:15,980 --> 00:18:16,980
Thank you.

235
00:18:16,980 --> 00:18:17,980
I'll be back.

236
00:18:17,980 --> 00:18:18,980
Thank you.

237
00:18:18,980 --> 00:18:20,519
Bye.

238
00:18:20,519 --> 00:18:21,519
Right.

239
00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:34,079
Okay.

240
00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:36,930
Thank you.

241
00:18:36,930 --> 00:18:37,930
Bye.

242
00:18:37,930 --> 00:18:38,930
Thank you.

243
00:18:38,930 --> 00:18:39,930
Thank you.

244
00:18:39,930 --> 00:18:40,930
Bye.

245
00:18:40,930 --> 00:18:41,930
Okay.

246
00:18:41,930 --> 00:18:42,930
So is there a review and sign of the road plowing agreement?

247
00:18:42,930 --> 00:18:43,930
So he comes to the last meeting, Brian Jowick.

248
00:18:43,930 --> 00:18:44,930
Talked to you guys about it.

249
00:18:44,930 --> 00:18:45,930
You approved it.

250
00:18:45,930 --> 00:18:46,930
He came in and signed it and paid it for .

251
00:18:46,930 --> 00:18:47,930
So now it's just a matter of you guys signing it.

252
00:18:47,930 --> 00:18:48,930
Well, just going to .

253
00:18:48,930 --> 00:18:49,930
Okay.

254
00:18:49,930 --> 00:18:50,930
We want to sign it.

255
00:18:50,930 --> 00:18:51,930
We're done.

256
00:18:51,930 --> 00:18:52,930
You're all good?

257
00:18:52,930 --> 00:18:53,930
Yeah.

258
00:18:53,930 --> 00:18:54,930
Bye.

259
00:18:54,930 --> 00:18:55,930
Bye.

260
00:18:55,930 --> 00:18:56,930
Bye.

261
00:18:56,930 --> 00:18:57,930
Bye.

262
00:18:57,930 --> 00:18:58,930
Bye.

263
00:18:58,930 --> 00:19:04,450
And it means that you could pull that, I don't know what the following review had said.

264
00:19:04,549 --> 00:19:13,470
I think it's just, did it say how they had to plow or anything?

265
00:19:14,049 --> 00:19:15,630
It says do anything in this back end.

266
00:19:15,730 --> 00:19:27,410
If there's damage to your live bone, it doesn't say anything about how you want to do that.

267
00:19:27,410 --> 00:19:28,809
It's still in the middle of the road.

268
00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:30,019
It's great.

269
00:19:30,259 --> 00:19:33,200
You don't have to get others from using that road any time.

270
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:40,950
It's perfect.

271
00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:42,529
It's real.

272
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:46,630
We're off the bus.

273
00:19:47,450 --> 00:20:00,130
And you have your certificate of insurance.

274
00:20:00,829 --> 00:20:01,109
Yep.

275
00:20:01,349 --> 00:20:03,210
Thank you.

276
00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:06,049
I gave you a second one.

277
00:20:08,299 --> 00:20:09,380
Oh, that's all mine.

278
00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:10,240
That's all yours.

279
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:14,019
Recycling.

280
00:20:14,019 --> 00:20:15,180
You don't like this kind of thing?

281
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:16,180
Yeah.

282
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:19,160
Recycling.

283
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:24,799
Did I say something on Facebook that Dream Green is coming?

284
00:20:25,539 --> 00:20:27,099
We'll do free pickup at Stanford.

285
00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:29,779
This weekend?

286
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,000
Yeah, free pickup, but you've got to pay for those items.

287
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:34,019
Oh, okay.

288
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,559
But that's still, if you've got something, we don't pay.

289
00:20:39,420 --> 00:20:41,660
Free pickup, but still pay.

290
00:20:42,539 --> 00:20:43,059
All mine.

291
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:47,720
Discussion.

292
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,799
Review, renew, and appointment.

293
00:20:50,079 --> 00:21:01,049
So, right after the election in March, we usually review the appointed officers and appoint them.

294
00:21:01,049 --> 00:21:01,630
Okay.

295
00:21:01,630 --> 00:21:01,650
Okay.

296
00:21:01,750 --> 00:21:04,559
And then we re-appoint the vacancies.

297
00:21:07,230 --> 00:21:10,150
Lori, we've done a couple different things in the past.

298
00:21:13,329 --> 00:21:19,359
We've said if anybody's interested in filling these vacancies, let us know.

299
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,180
And what was the first, what did we used to do, and then what did we do last year?

300
00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:33,410
So, sometimes you just re-appointed everybody who had, was already in the slot.

301
00:21:33,410 --> 00:21:36,490
You just re-appointed them, automatically sent them a letter of thanks.

302
00:21:36,490 --> 00:21:37,609
You re-appointed them.

303
00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:45,930
Then one year, you said, you're re-appointed, but if this is not something you'd like to do anymore, let us know.

304
00:21:46,769 --> 00:21:55,990
Last year, before March, you sent out letters asking people if they would like to be re-appointed, because their term is up.

305
00:21:56,049 --> 00:21:58,710
And if they didn't respond, they didn't get appointed.

306
00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:59,930
We consider them that.

307
00:22:00,410 --> 00:22:02,569
You consider them not interested.

308
00:22:02,569 --> 00:22:06,150
So, you did have some vacancies that you weren't used to having.

309
00:22:06,150 --> 00:22:11,900
And people did come later on, wanting to be re-appointed.

310
00:22:11,900 --> 00:22:15,099
There was confusion of people who thought they were appointed, and there were.

311
00:22:17,450 --> 00:22:20,250
I think I like the way that you did it last year.

312
00:22:20,980 --> 00:22:26,579
Send them out, say your term is expiring in March of 2024.

313
00:22:27,220 --> 00:22:29,539
Is there interest in being re-appointed?

314
00:22:30,180 --> 00:22:31,059
Let us know.

315
00:22:33,930 --> 00:22:39,859
By March 6th.

316
00:22:39,859 --> 00:22:42,339
This list has so much information.

317
00:22:42,339 --> 00:22:42,799
This list has so much information.

318
00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:44,799
If you want 2024 and 2025, which ones are up?

319
00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:46,799
If you want 2024 and 2025, which ones are up?

320
00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:49,440
Just the...

321
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,440
2024s?

322
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,440
2024s, if it's a one-year term, are going to be up in 2025.

323
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:01,440
This was from last year's town report.

324
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,440
This is a new one, hasn't been done.

325
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,440
2024 appointment would, if it's a three-year term, be 2027 now.

326
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,440
If it's a one-year term, it would be up in 2025.

327
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,440
If it's a one-year term, it would be up in 2025.

328
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,440
So, we would do the 2024 appointment?

329
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,440
2025, right.

330
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,440
2025, right.

331
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,440
Yep.

332
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,440
Yeah, by March 6th, because that will be your first meeting after that election.

333
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,440
Yeah, by March 6th, because that will be your first meeting after that election.

334
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,109
Yeah, by March 6th, because that will be your first meeting after that election.

335
00:23:22,109 --> 00:23:28,720
So, we're going to send a letter to them saying that you want to let us know.

336
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,720
Do you want to do it that way?

337
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:36,720
If we don't hear from you, we assume that they're resigned.

338
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,420
Yep.

339
00:23:38,420 --> 00:23:39,420
Okay.

340
00:23:39,420 --> 00:23:43,420
Think that's the way we should do it, or go back the old way?

341
00:23:43,420 --> 00:23:44,420
It doesn't matter to me.

342
00:23:44,420 --> 00:23:45,420
It doesn't matter to me.

343
00:23:45,420 --> 00:23:46,420
Yeah.

344
00:23:46,420 --> 00:23:49,420
If there's a mistake where they go, geez, we didn't get to you or something, they can

345
00:23:49,420 --> 00:23:54,519
come and say, hey, while you're appointing me, I'm going to do it.

346
00:23:54,519 --> 00:23:55,519
Okay.

347
00:23:55,519 --> 00:23:56,519
Okay.

348
00:23:56,519 --> 00:23:57,519
Okay.

349
00:23:57,519 --> 00:23:58,519
Okay.

350
00:23:58,519 --> 00:23:59,519
Okay.

351
00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:00,519
Okay.

352
00:24:00,519 --> 00:24:01,519
Okay.

353
00:24:01,519 --> 00:24:02,680
Okay.

354
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:03,680
Okay.

355
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,680
Okay.

356
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:05,680
Okay.

357
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,740
Okay.

358
00:24:07,740 --> 00:24:08,740
Okay.

359
00:24:08,740 --> 00:24:09,740
Okay.

360
00:24:09,740 --> 00:24:13,039
Okay.

361
00:24:13,039 --> 00:24:14,039
Okay.

362
00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:15,039
Okay.

363
00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:16,099
Okay.

364
00:24:16,099 --> 00:24:17,099
Okay.

365
00:24:17,099 --> 00:24:18,099
Okay.

366
00:24:18,099 --> 00:24:19,099
Okay.

367
00:24:19,099 --> 00:24:21,799
Okay.

368
00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:22,799
Okay.

369
00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:23,799
Okay.

370
00:24:23,799 --> 00:24:24,799
Okay.

371
00:24:24,799 --> 00:24:25,799
Okay.

372
00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:26,799
Okay.

373
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:27,799
Okay.

374
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:28,799
Okay.

375
00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:29,799
Okay.

376
00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:30,799
Okay.

377
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:31,799
Okay.

378
00:24:31,799 --> 00:24:32,799
Okay.

379
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:33,799
Okay.

380
00:24:33,799 --> 00:24:34,799
Okay.

381
00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:35,799
Okay.

382
00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:36,799
Okay.

383
00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:37,799
Okay.

384
00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:38,799
Okay.

385
00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:39,799
Okay.

386
00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:40,900
Okay.

387
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:41,900
Okay.

388
00:24:41,900 --> 00:24:42,900
Okay.

389
00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:44,759
Okay.

390
00:24:44,759 --> 00:24:45,759
Okay.

391
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:46,759
Okay.

392
00:24:46,759 --> 00:24:47,759
Okay.

393
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:48,759
Okay.

394
00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:49,759
Okay.

395
00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:50,759
Okay.

396
00:24:50,759 --> 00:24:57,329
right and we should hear from the children now now and then you know to

397
00:24:57,329 --> 00:25:01,390
have kind of a definitely we did like I'm talking with the school board same

398
00:25:01,390 --> 00:25:06,269
thing these are we appointed these people yeah I read the minutes of the

399
00:25:06,269 --> 00:25:11,109
planning board the zoning board I mean they don't meet very often but I do read the

400
00:25:11,109 --> 00:25:15,109
minutes and I see who's not there who's there and so on and I don't know if you

401
00:25:15,109 --> 00:25:19,109
guys are having a problem or not but it would be nice to have our you know the

402
00:25:19,109 --> 00:25:25,529
chairman of that board say everything's going good we're having issues there's a

403
00:25:25,529 --> 00:25:31,349
member that one of the appointed members is always causing trouble I'm not saying

404
00:25:31,349 --> 00:25:37,799
they are I'm just using examples to I guess I would like to have the board's

405
00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:44,339
almost kind of back on report once in a while we are we used to have like an

406
00:25:44,339 --> 00:25:48,640
all-board yeah yeah we are

407
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:55,200
you know it's better than to hear it out on the streets again we're on

408
00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:00,759
Facebook going you know Lisa's causing all these problems and every time we go

409
00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:07,240
to talk she's going and I'm not saying any of that's happening and I know some

410
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,079
boards can get a little cheated from our you know here and there that's good

411
00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:16,000
that's good sometimes you know that gets things done but on the other hand in the

412
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,119
same person non-stop

413
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:25,140
non-sla its statements and comes back to this board maybe we just won't

414
00:26:25,140 --> 00:26:31,359
reappoint them these are our cabinet our people said we want to tell them we're on

415
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:36,940
and you know this board's what can change if we get elected in or out that's what

416
00:26:36,940 --> 00:26:41,700
our duties are I think I think wasn't it the Planning Commission that said that if

417
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:44,900
you didn't show up three times there wasn't it right so I think we made the

418
00:26:44,900 --> 00:26:49,460
policy I think they were the ones that I know a

419
00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:52,380
I think this board is the only ones that really could make that policy.

420
00:26:52,579 --> 00:26:53,640
We're the ones that are appointed.

421
00:26:53,819 --> 00:26:57,599
How can the chairman of the planning board unappoint someone that we appointed?

422
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,980
All they can do is come back and talk to us.

423
00:26:59,980 --> 00:27:02,720
Come back and say, hey, this person hasn't shown up for three meetings.

424
00:27:03,299 --> 00:27:08,599
Well, in this day and age, we have to be more concerned if there's any conflict within these boards, right?

425
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,460
Right, and that's the other thing.

426
00:27:10,519 --> 00:27:13,920
I'm not saying that it's just a three-time drought thing.

427
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:20,920
I'm saying many items that we could be thinking about that might cause these boards not to do their jobs.

428
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,799
I mean, there's people that serve on both the board and the board.

429
00:27:23,799 --> 00:27:24,859
Yeah, you know.

430
00:27:25,059 --> 00:27:25,799
Is it a conflict?

431
00:27:26,970 --> 00:27:27,890
Right, yeah.

432
00:27:28,049 --> 00:27:40,930
You could, especially, I believe that a zoning board and a planning board member talking about the item, this is no secret.

433
00:27:40,930 --> 00:27:43,450
Our sign went from the select board.

434
00:27:44,009 --> 00:27:44,890
To the planning board.

435
00:27:45,069 --> 00:27:46,029
To the zoning board.

436
00:27:46,730 --> 00:27:52,609
People of the same members were sat on these boards making those decisions.

437
00:27:52,789 --> 00:27:53,369
That's wrong.

438
00:27:53,509 --> 00:27:54,029
Yeah, exactly.

439
00:27:54,109 --> 00:27:55,210
That's dead wrong.

440
00:27:55,630 --> 00:28:02,170
You can't, the select board can't bring an issue to the zoning board and then sit on the zoning board.

441
00:28:02,230 --> 00:28:06,029
Well, I stepped down from the planning board because I didn't have to, I don't think.

442
00:28:06,109 --> 00:28:06,609
No, you didn't.

443
00:28:06,630 --> 00:28:08,509
Because I didn't want the perception of.

444
00:28:08,569 --> 00:28:09,049
Correct.

445
00:28:09,049 --> 00:28:13,430
And I do believe that is to be perceived.

446
00:28:14,170 --> 00:28:27,009
And it had, and to me, this isn't Mike Denault's opinion now, when that sign, correct, went down, there were perceptions of this conflict involved.

447
00:28:27,049 --> 00:28:38,230
Don't you believe, I mean, maybe, I don't have to ask you what it was, but I'm just saying that I believe there was, when you sit there and you're on both boards, and the planning board sends it to the zoning board, that's not right.

448
00:28:38,230 --> 00:28:40,730
No, no, I don't agree with that at all.

449
00:28:40,730 --> 00:28:44,190
Or if we go back after the decision was made, we go back and we say, well, okay.

450
00:28:44,190 --> 00:28:44,250
Yeah.

451
00:28:44,430 --> 00:28:50,750
We're going to get you, we're going to do this, because we have the authority to change the rules, it just never happens.

452
00:28:50,750 --> 00:28:58,430
There's not a lot of boards here that draw conflict, but I would say the planning board and the DBA are .

453
00:28:58,430 --> 00:28:59,150
Yeah, yeah.

454
00:28:59,150 --> 00:28:59,950
There's no doubt about it.

455
00:28:59,950 --> 00:29:07,079
The select board, the zoning board, the planning board, I think are the three that really hit home to me.

456
00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:13,930
I mean, the select board, really, I don't see why we would be on any board, especially those that get paid.

457
00:29:13,930 --> 00:29:14,349
You should.

458
00:29:14,349 --> 00:29:20,269
I mean, even if it's not a conflict, Biden, I mean, that was all perception or appearance of a conflict, but I mean, that's anything.

459
00:29:20,269 --> 00:29:36,289
You've got these vacancies, and you say change the rules, maybe someone, I mean, I've seen Dave step forward one time because we had a vacancy on his flight board, and said, I'd be proud to sit in that seat, and he did, but he didn't get in the way of running that when someone said, hey, I'm on a run, and he says, don't pay.

460
00:29:36,289 --> 00:29:39,329
One of the problems is we need a planning commission when we need it up.

461
00:29:39,670 --> 00:29:39,869
Right.

462
00:29:40,309 --> 00:29:40,750
Sure.

463
00:29:41,069 --> 00:29:43,130
One of the problems is we just need more diversity.

464
00:29:43,690 --> 00:29:44,089
Right?

465
00:29:44,349 --> 00:29:44,509
Yeah.

466
00:29:44,789 --> 00:29:47,130
We draw from the same 20 people all the time.

467
00:29:47,269 --> 00:29:47,490
Yeah.

468
00:29:47,690 --> 00:29:48,509
Oh, that's what I'm saying.

469
00:29:48,509 --> 00:29:56,549
And that's the other thing, is all the stuff I'm saying, it's with the utmost respect of anyone that throws their hat in the ring.

470
00:29:56,789 --> 00:30:02,880
I don't care when losers draw, you throw your hat in the ring to be in this stuff.

471
00:30:03,460 --> 00:30:04,640
I mean, it's hard to lose someone.

472
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,000
It's what we always call a thankless job.

473
00:30:07,819 --> 00:30:10,619
Yeah, I mean, you've got to say to people, hey, thank you.

474
00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:11,980
Thanks for getting involved.

475
00:30:11,980 --> 00:30:14,059
I mean, it's hard in a little town like this.

476
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:21,259
People have known each other for 40 or 50 years, which are conversations that take place all over about this, that, or whatever.

477
00:30:21,259 --> 00:30:27,220
I just would like to, you know, as we appoint people, keep in mind what we talked about.

478
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,779
You know, if you have a whole list of people who want to get on the planning board, which we've seen in the past,

479
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,839
and a couple of those people are on multiple boards, we might say, hey, look at it.

480
00:30:37,839 --> 00:30:39,440
We don't even have to ask.

481
00:30:39,579 --> 00:30:43,680
It's our decision to say, we're going to appoint this other person.

482
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,180
I mean, we've got to be more vigilant about what we're doing, too,

483
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:52,460
because the way I understand the ethics training is that we're ultimately responsible for any conflicts that may occur.

484
00:30:52,460 --> 00:30:52,680
Right.

485
00:30:53,279 --> 00:30:54,299
Anyway, I'm just sure.

486
00:30:56,690 --> 00:30:59,009
So if you send the letters out.

487
00:30:59,609 --> 00:30:59,789
Yeah.

488
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,799
Dog license fee increase.

489
00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:12,460
I'm beginning to have people come to the window who have not heard that there was a change in the fees.

490
00:31:12,460 --> 00:31:15,460
So I guess I just wanted to...

491
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,200
I'm going to make it public at a meeting, so it'll go in the minutes, that we have new fees.

492
00:31:20,980 --> 00:31:22,819
$16 and $20.

493
00:31:23,220 --> 00:31:26,799
$16 for your neutered or spayed and $20 for your real dogs.

494
00:31:28,059 --> 00:31:32,839
It doesn't say that at the end of our minutes in the little one or two, three things there.

495
00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:34,980
I think it does.

496
00:31:35,220 --> 00:31:35,819
I think it does.

497
00:31:36,299 --> 00:31:38,299
I don't think it's got the fee, though.

498
00:31:38,559 --> 00:31:40,940
Did you get a hard time or just that off?

499
00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:42,220
Throw it in there so you know what's going on.

500
00:31:42,220 --> 00:31:44,519
Yeah, they're okay with it, but...

501
00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:45,619
Throw it right in there?

502
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,819
They're saying, no, it's coming up.

503
00:31:47,339 --> 00:31:49,880
You know what the payments are going to be due in April, right?

504
00:31:50,079 --> 00:31:50,259
Yeah.

505
00:31:50,619 --> 00:31:55,599
Just put a number, whatever, or at the end and say, these are the new fees.

506
00:31:55,740 --> 00:31:59,500
Don't forget that the deadline and due date is blah, blah, blah.

507
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:04,940
And I'm glad that Clarksburg has your sign flashing, town, register your dog, tie it.

508
00:32:05,460 --> 00:32:06,339
Yes, because it's awesome.

509
00:32:06,339 --> 00:32:07,059
It reminds them.

510
00:32:07,220 --> 00:32:09,720
Yeah, a lot of Stanford people see it.

511
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,059
The ones that go the other way in Clarksburg don't see it.

512
00:32:12,059 --> 00:32:13,200
Can we borrow that sign?

513
00:32:13,259 --> 00:32:13,859
I have a question.

514
00:32:14,220 --> 00:32:15,559
I know we've got a raise, but...

515
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:21,200
For some reason, I'm wondering, I think, who was in control of that white sign that has to do with the telephone company?

516
00:32:21,460 --> 00:32:22,200
I think the school.

517
00:32:22,819 --> 00:32:24,799
The school usually puts the letters up.

518
00:32:25,319 --> 00:32:26,900
Are you guys allowed to?

519
00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:28,599
We used to.

520
00:32:28,660 --> 00:32:31,579
In the past, we could put some up, but...

521
00:32:31,579 --> 00:32:34,019
It doesn't really get used to that point.

522
00:32:34,140 --> 00:32:36,420
Every time we go through Clarksburg, I'm like, oh, yeah, the dogs.

523
00:32:36,519 --> 00:32:36,859
Yeah, the dogs.

524
00:32:36,859 --> 00:32:40,420
So that's a great question to ask the principal.

525
00:32:41,299 --> 00:32:42,700
Look, it's not getting used.

526
00:32:42,839 --> 00:32:44,859
The school may have paid for it.

527
00:32:45,670 --> 00:32:50,849
Can we use it as town business, as notifications, as an informational thing?

528
00:32:50,950 --> 00:32:52,089
Yep, this is coming up.

529
00:32:52,990 --> 00:32:54,930
I'm sure that the principal would say, sure.

530
00:32:55,349 --> 00:32:56,630
We've done it before.

531
00:32:57,269 --> 00:33:04,890
But if we miss something, like taxes are due, how come we didn't climb over the snowbank and put those letters up?

532
00:33:04,890 --> 00:33:06,009
Put that in your minutes.

533
00:33:07,809 --> 00:33:08,890
That's the problem, though.

534
00:33:08,950 --> 00:33:14,289
Once you start it, if you don't get everything everybody wants up there, it becomes a problem.

535
00:33:14,549 --> 00:33:14,670
Yeah.

536
00:33:14,789 --> 00:33:14,910
Yeah.

537
00:33:15,670 --> 00:33:17,769
Just tell people, you know, this is a courtesy.

538
00:33:18,490 --> 00:33:20,049
It's not a good thing, but it's a courtesy.

539
00:33:20,329 --> 00:33:23,549
Register your dog by taxes due by...

540
00:33:23,549 --> 00:33:27,390
I don't understand why anybody would be upset.

541
00:33:27,990 --> 00:33:28,849
A perfect one.

542
00:33:29,049 --> 00:33:32,710
Yeah, I don't understand why you're upset when you go register a dog in a price war.

543
00:33:32,710 --> 00:33:35,509
When I go buy a beer in a price war, I'm like, give him the money.

544
00:33:36,029 --> 00:33:38,069
I'm like, whoa, I'm not buying beer now.

545
00:33:38,250 --> 00:33:38,569
I'm in it.

546
00:33:38,630 --> 00:33:39,410
And I guess I could.

547
00:33:39,490 --> 00:33:41,009
That's my choice, but...

548
00:33:41,009 --> 00:33:41,529
You could do it.

549
00:33:41,630 --> 00:33:42,349
Prices go up.

550
00:33:42,549 --> 00:33:42,990
No, no, no.

551
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:44,559
Go ahead.

552
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,079
No, no.

553
00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:45,680
Exactly.

554
00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:47,940
I mean, you're feeding the dog.

555
00:33:48,220 --> 00:33:49,920
The rate it went up is minimal.

556
00:33:50,980 --> 00:33:51,400
It's amazing.

557
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,779
You just think it happened.

558
00:33:55,059 --> 00:34:01,240
And you will see that we put in our warrant to set up a reserve fund for some of this

559
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:09,739
extra money that we're allowed to collect to put in a reserve fund and to be used for

560
00:34:09,739 --> 00:34:12,840
if a dog is hit by a car.

561
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,280
And Luke's got to take it to the vets.

562
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:15,780
We don't know.

563
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:16,699
We don't know who the owner is.

564
00:34:17,340 --> 00:34:18,480
And euthanized.

565
00:34:18,900 --> 00:34:20,239
We've had that before.

566
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:21,820
And the vet made the decision.

567
00:34:22,139 --> 00:34:23,599
And it cost the town money.

568
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,280
So we have this reserve fund.

569
00:34:26,659 --> 00:34:27,219
So...

570
00:34:27,219 --> 00:34:29,679
Or put the house a dog for three weeks.

571
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:30,559
Yeah.

572
00:34:31,260 --> 00:34:33,500
And not know who the owner is.

573
00:34:34,809 --> 00:34:38,190
And Luke is not doing a rabies clinic this year.

574
00:34:38,789 --> 00:34:40,670
Couldn't pull it together with the vets.

575
00:34:41,250 --> 00:34:44,130
So there's a Wilmington that's having one.

576
00:34:44,130 --> 00:34:46,130
And Powell is having one.

577
00:34:46,210 --> 00:34:47,210
March 8th.

578
00:34:47,210 --> 00:34:48,210
March 22nd.

579
00:34:48,210 --> 00:34:49,210
Didn't I see that in the minutes too?

580
00:34:49,210 --> 00:34:50,210
Tractor supply does it every month.

581
00:34:50,210 --> 00:34:51,210
So I'll...

582
00:34:51,210 --> 00:34:52,210
Is tractor supply cost money or is it free?

583
00:34:52,210 --> 00:34:53,210
I don't know.

584
00:34:53,210 --> 00:34:54,210
I've always heard people say it costs money.

585
00:34:54,210 --> 00:34:55,210
It does cost money.

586
00:34:55,210 --> 00:34:56,210
We've got leaders in the room.

587
00:34:56,210 --> 00:34:57,210
We've done that.

588
00:34:57,210 --> 00:34:58,210
But I don't know.

589
00:34:58,210 --> 00:34:59,210
Yeah.

590
00:34:59,210 --> 00:35:00,210
You don't remember.

591
00:35:00,210 --> 00:35:01,210
Right.

592
00:35:01,210 --> 00:35:02,210
How about you?

593
00:35:02,210 --> 00:35:03,210
You don't remember.

594
00:35:03,210 --> 00:35:04,210
So...

595
00:35:04,210 --> 00:35:05,210
Tractor supply in North Adams or Bennington?

596
00:35:05,210 --> 00:35:06,210
North Adams.

597
00:35:06,210 --> 00:35:07,210
I don't know.

598
00:35:07,210 --> 00:35:08,210
I don't know.

599
00:35:08,210 --> 00:35:09,210
I don't know.

600
00:35:09,210 --> 00:35:10,210
I don't know.

601
00:35:10,210 --> 00:35:11,210
I don't know.

602
00:35:11,210 --> 00:35:12,210
I don't know.

603
00:35:12,210 --> 00:35:13,210
I don't know.

604
00:35:13,210 --> 00:35:14,210
I don't know.

605
00:35:14,210 --> 00:35:15,210
I don't know.

606
00:35:15,210 --> 00:35:16,210
Hum, I don't remember.

607
00:35:16,210 --> 00:35:17,210
I'm sorry.

608
00:35:17,210 --> 00:35:18,210
Did you sign for it last week?

609
00:35:18,210 --> 00:35:19,210
I think I've seen the sign.

610
00:35:19,210 --> 00:35:19,329
It's like Doug Washington or something like that.

611
00:35:19,329 --> 00:35:20,329
You know, ..

612
00:35:20,329 --> 00:35:21,329
I think they still do it.

613
00:35:21,329 --> 00:35:22,829
It depends on what their law is.

614
00:35:22,829 --> 00:35:25,289
Yeah, I think I saw it in the minutes.

615
00:35:25,289 --> 00:35:35,110
Did you put it in the minutes about the rabies clinic too?

616
00:35:35,110 --> 00:35:36,449
In Wilmington or..?

617
00:35:36,449 --> 00:35:38,489
I'm not sure.

618
00:35:38,489 --> 00:35:40,489
Somewhere I saw it.

619
00:35:40,489 --> 00:35:41,489
Did you put it there?

620
00:35:41,489 --> 00:35:42,489
Yeah.

621
00:35:42,489 --> 00:35:43,489
I think I saw it.

622
00:35:43,489 --> 00:35:45,090
analysery

623
00:35:45,090 --> 00:35:51,159

632
00:37:00,980 --> 00:37:04,579

00:37:17,559 --> 00:37:17,719

00:38:07,750 --> 00:38:22,880
thank you sign review and sign nimrit assessor contract did we get that so this is a contract

646
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:32,000
nancy sally and i sat down with john tiffany and reviewed it um picked what we thought the town

647
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,880
should be doing or what nimrod needed to be doing we submitted it to the city council and they said

648
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:40,880
we're going to put it in the contract we had some changes that they didn't put in but most of them

649
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:49,730
they did put in um we decided it wasn't worth fighting over a couple of little items how about

650
00:38:49,730 --> 00:38:59,409
the fee per hour did that go up it's still 95 95 an hour would travel being 47.50 not everything's

651
00:38:59,409 --> 00:39:06,610
going to be so yeah stay the same i think just inflated at the start of it we're exactly we got

652
00:39:06,769 --> 00:39:12,690
five years to play with that all right all right mark it up park it up i don't know if you want to

653
00:39:12,690 --> 00:39:20,130
go through with a lot of the itemizations of what we're going to do now we i trust that you guys

654
00:39:20,130 --> 00:39:26,690
already beat this up can i have a motion to accept this uh what was the contract well 95 an hour and

655
00:39:26,690 --> 00:39:36,679
i think we figured last week about the same hours yeah yeah it's doing it about the same same hours

656
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,780
about to do the just

657
00:39:40,260 --> 00:39:46,739
the yearly assessment not the reappraisal right now yeah okay so there's probably maybe no more

658
00:39:46,739 --> 00:39:56,340
than 20 permits or even have that much yeah we're sure we get more of this so it's going to be

659
00:39:56,340 --> 00:40:01,639
thousands of dollars it's just not going to be hundreds of thousands of dollars we were close to

660
00:40:01,639 --> 00:40:15,329
100 000 last year right yes 75 or well if you put us sticky on there or even a self-reliant stamp

661
00:40:16,530 --> 00:40:21,590
a copy of this back now don't put your stamp on them

662
00:40:25,510 --> 00:40:30,309
they'll probably email it anyway did you do a motion for that or did you just

663
00:40:30,869 --> 00:40:37,909
agree uh can i have a motion to sign the contract motion all in favor

664
00:40:40,559 --> 00:40:50,079
any other correspondence old business um doug has an update on policy and

665
00:40:50,239 --> 00:41:01,239
code of ethics okay very well here um i called i actually have gone through the uh website

666
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:06,599
several times and uh i also called up and spoke to i guess you call her the

667
00:41:06,599 --> 00:41:13,320
coordinator christine and sir brett so this is where i've gotten the information from and

668
00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:23,920
first of all what's my position and according to christina it's basically a contact person for the

669
00:41:24,079 --> 00:41:33,039
town um i asked her does the town have to have a local ethics commission or can the liaison

670
00:41:33,039 --> 00:41:40,920
handle it himself and basically she said it's up to us so you can you can just do that

671
00:41:42,309 --> 00:41:50,559
um the best way if you have a complaint uh i advise anybody that has a complaint or any

672
00:41:50,559 --> 00:41:55,199
request any information go on the site and go to the municipal there's a couple of letters on there

673
00:41:55,519 --> 00:42:01,360
sections one for the state one for the municipal go to the municipal and you can get the forms

674
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:07,920
off there one of the forms is if you wanted to fill it out and sign it and send it up if you

675
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:13,440
do it that way though they also want to call or email giving them a heads up that it's underway

676
00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:20,320
the other one is you can fill it out and send it up by a computer or email or whatever and

677
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,239
that one you don't have to call them up and get them to give them a heads up

678
00:42:25,460 --> 00:42:34,420
uh i wondered about what reports had to do to file um when where and she said no reports at this time

679
00:42:34,420 --> 00:42:41,219
we do have to keep a lot of complaints and there's a form on the website that we can use

680
00:42:41,219 --> 00:42:51,199
that's actually just for us here uh which town officers have to take the test i'd say just about

681
00:42:51,199 --> 00:42:51,519
everything

682
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:56,719
there's a couple of people that like she said like for example the librarian didn't have to

683
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:02,320
take it although i would think that director of the library probably would have to so basically

684
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:09,920
just say anybody that's on the board or whatever it's a very easy one it is so i went on it with

685
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:15,119
my phone i think i'm not really good at technically doing things so i've got something up

686
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:22,050
so i went on it says you know you have to walk in i guess that's my question because

687
00:43:22,690 --> 00:43:29,440
it seemed like i moved forward and then i went to the learning part and then you signed your name

688
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:35,440
or something at the end okay so in the middle where you take the pass of like five questions

689
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,599
and then if you don't get them right they don't tell you which ones are wrong and then you just

690
00:43:39,599 --> 00:43:43,280
move on no i don't know see that's what i was saying

691
00:43:45,519 --> 00:43:49,920
but i could just keep changing my answer your example quizzes in the middle of it throughout

692
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,559
throughout the text and then you wait like 20 seconds

693
00:43:53,199 --> 00:43:58,880
after they show you the questions then he says the answer to it and at the end there's like five

694
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:04,239
oh so i i i didn't get that far i don't know what i'm doing but i did it on my phone right

695
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:10,000
i got it i'd rather just go down the shop it gives you like sample quizzes that he gives

696
00:44:11,119 --> 00:44:15,840
at the end there's five questions five or six questions and if you get the wrong answer it

697
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,840
won't let you move so you go back and you change your answer you said i think maybe this should be

698
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,880
yeah every answer one at a time though no

699
00:44:23,199 --> 00:44:28,000
all five click move on they won't let you move on if you get one of those five

700
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,679
it did but they don't tell you oh that's the thing

701
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:31,199
sorry

702
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,480
i didn't get a score but i didn't get held back

703
00:44:37,679 --> 00:44:40,880
you must have got them all right i get problems with this stuff

704
00:44:41,679 --> 00:44:44,880
i work for the states also do you have a line to also send it to rory after

705
00:44:45,199 --> 00:44:50,159
um no i got it forward to her because did you get one from when i took it and 15 months was

706
00:44:50,159 --> 00:44:53,199
the wrong test or something that align is that the change to our camera

707
00:44:53,199 --> 00:44:56,639
you know i i didn't say this on the live stream but you can fast forward right to the end and

708
00:44:56,639 --> 00:45:00,320
just take this question well that's what i wanted to know and that's just how you get it right

709
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,480
that's what i wanted to know yeah because you know i think it's harder than that

710
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:10,719
it's like say don't write i answer they're pretty i mean they're pretty basic yeah yeah yeah i just

711
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:17,039
wanted to i think i'm not i'm navigating wrong which that's not ethically wrong it's just dumb

712
00:45:17,039 --> 00:45:23,039
so so i'll go down the first time i gave you the sample quiz i was like getting my phone i'm like

713
00:45:23,199 --> 00:45:28,949
not accepting it yeah i think when you said that there's a delay and then he says see okay

714
00:45:32,389 --> 00:45:36,070
is it safe to assume school where hunters have to take that test too

715
00:45:36,070 --> 00:45:39,989
so where do i get the link for that i've heard about this but i don't know where to go

716
00:45:39,989 --> 00:45:45,909
no just go ahead and do whatever uh vermont ethics submission and everything is pretty much

717
00:45:45,909 --> 00:45:52,550
accurate and when you say go to the municipal okay and you have to like say i can't figure out who's

718
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,190
going to hire someone

719
00:45:54,150 --> 00:45:56,070
i don't get that

720
00:46:01,539 --> 00:46:01,699
so

721
00:46:04,659 --> 00:46:13,380
let's see as i said how to file a complaint go get the forms and the pretty self-explanatory

722
00:46:13,380 --> 00:46:17,139
and fill them out and send them to the commission and they'll review them

723
00:46:17,780 --> 00:46:23,539
and if there's any questions or anything for further investigation they'll get back to us

724
00:46:24,420 --> 00:46:32,579
now as far as investigating uh the select board can has the right to appoint an investigator

725
00:46:32,579 --> 00:46:39,329
or whatever it could be however you wanted to do it may be different that's yours i'm glad to handle

726
00:46:39,329 --> 00:46:45,570
that i've done a few investigations in my previous life and i'll be glad to do it and

727
00:46:46,289 --> 00:46:51,650
if we want to have maybe one more person i do have just in case you're about the one violation yeah

728
00:46:53,409 --> 00:46:53,809
that's one

729
00:46:54,610 --> 00:46:57,250
exactly no but i was thinking

730
00:47:03,969 --> 00:47:10,449
somebody else that uh has a background i haven't talked to him yet we should consider him because

731
00:47:10,449 --> 00:47:19,280
again investigations sure okay um let's see i'm not very well organized here but uh

732
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:26,000
see you know and every third word can designate anybody

733
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:31,650
um to do an investigation who does not have an interest in the case

734
00:47:33,559 --> 00:47:41,800
now as far as the uh code of ethics they had a summary of the code of ethics on the website i

735
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:52,039
did make a copy here and what i would like to see us do is recommend that we use this for our

736
00:47:52,039 --> 00:47:57,239
town code of ethics and it doesn't mean we can't add to them if we find a problem whatever but just

737
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:06,369
to get it up and running we do have a municipal uh conflict of interest policy and uh the first

738
00:48:06,369 --> 00:48:14,289
part of it here for the recommended ones in the municipal code of ethics is um also we choose on

739
00:48:14,289 --> 00:48:23,940
disclosure for conflicts of interest so i would say maybe we could take um our law or our power

740
00:48:25,460 --> 00:48:26,420
yeah and put it

741
00:48:27,619 --> 00:48:33,300
in here but if you look at them they're pretty much the same we could we could always enhance

742
00:48:33,300 --> 00:48:39,219
our say if we wanted to make an ordinance yeah or whatever if we thought something was in conflict we

743
00:48:39,219 --> 00:48:44,900
could make an order yeah this is more a protocol to follow words and ordinance i think would be

744
00:48:44,900 --> 00:48:54,050
something we can do later if we have to if we have to firm it up a little um i did see i was

745
00:48:54,050 --> 00:48:58,289
actually was given this larry used me uh charter of incompatible law

746
00:48:58,449 --> 00:49:05,409
offices and this might be something i don't know whether we should uh somehow incorporate it into

747
00:49:05,409 --> 00:49:13,000
the uh into the rules or the ethics rules or whether this is something we would do in order

748
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:23,800
inside but it's something we'll think about we see that sure uh we have to post once we

749
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:33,320
have the municipal code of ethics that has to be posted on the municipality's website let's see

750
00:49:36,039 --> 00:49:43,280
we have by any chance do we have a uh complaint investigation ordinance rule or policy do we have

751
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:48,800
no we have a conflict of interest policy right is that do you have a copy of that policy

752
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:57,039
okay yeah that's what we have so that i would say incorporate it with the other ones maybe make it

753
00:49:57,039 --> 00:50:05,139
number one although if you read them they're very much the same okay but um let's see we should

754
00:50:05,139 --> 00:50:06,260
establish a

755
00:50:06,420 --> 00:50:15,269
policy for investigations and i was wondering is this something that we could call maybe uh

756
00:50:15,269 --> 00:50:17,670
the league of cities in town see if they have a model

757
00:50:20,679 --> 00:50:26,639
so maybe we'll get a hold of that there and um also there's i have a rule here

758
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:36,519
that may act as a starting point so then that policy for the conflict interest does that mention

759
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:46,519
uh different uh board yeah really it's kind of a general thing uh i know the vermont website

760
00:50:46,519 --> 00:50:52,360
the state website tells you what the municipality what they actually say no there's no conflict

761
00:50:52,360 --> 00:51:00,440
interest yes there is i i looked that up before because there was when when i got on board it was

762
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:05,570
a board member that was on five i think different boards

763
00:51:05,570 --> 00:51:15,840
yeah so i looked it up and like it says that none of them were confident ventures although again

764
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:21,119
we're getting into a new pair of error now that perception is different yeah it's a different one

765
00:51:21,119 --> 00:51:26,559
it takes one yeah but the thing is too when we send it when we send the complaint up to the board

766
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:33,440
what they'll do is go through it and they might say yay and one of the things they um mentioned

767
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,119
here it might be um

768
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:37,760
and they might say yay and one of the things they might say yay and one of the things they might say

769
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:43,840
is uh de minimis where it's such a small minor thing that no you know we don't have to work it

770
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:54,260
out yeah right so but uh this here it's uh based on title 17 vsa so i can look that up and see it's

771
00:51:54,260 --> 00:52:03,300
like a a grid that you can use so okay yeah no keep going i don't really get that much more

772
00:52:04,420 --> 00:52:06,420
so we need to put something on our website

773
00:52:07,380 --> 00:52:15,380
uh we need to put our uh ethics rules and we need to put our um when we have the um

774
00:52:18,309 --> 00:52:24,530
not the complaint form so much but the uh investigation rules you know like for an

775
00:52:24,530 --> 00:52:29,250
investigator the rules the policy for an investigation okay those have to be put on

776
00:52:29,250 --> 00:52:37,000
our website okay um so we've got to start working on code of ethics policy trying to

777
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,059
with the 27th bend beates

778
00:52:50,179 --> 00:52:54,420
really need if you like i said if you look at you can't have weaker language

779
00:52:54,420 --> 00:52:58,900
you can't have weaker language right right but they're very much whatever they're almost

780
00:52:58,900 --> 00:53:01,960
saying they're really not that much difference so can you get something to us then uh before next meeting and say so you get to us then uh before next meeting and say this isGET

781
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:03,090

Can you get something to us then uh before next meeting and say this isGET

783
00:53:03,650 --> 00:53:06,210

784
00:53:06,210 --> 00:53:07,929
um so right now we're working E break i mean is it gonna be a list then is it okay to do that is it important so people can work that after uh or um like you know if you they want to do this um room they want to SuperN songs like if you need something like this then uh success um I'm gonna do it in in my opinion yeah if they wanna do this then yeah this isGET

785
00:53:07,969 --> 00:53:12,769
the code of ethics that we'd like to put on our web page and we'll look it over

786
00:53:12,769 --> 00:53:25,539
and sure and some notes for doing the policy for investigation how to do that

787
00:53:25,539 --> 00:53:31,559
yeah can I just catch it will they talk to me

788
00:53:31,559 --> 00:53:44,820
if you call it's rare to actually answer the phone but the email yeah and they

789
00:53:44,820 --> 00:53:51,159
there's an easy spot to go on there you just log in with you and type in your

790
00:53:51,159 --> 00:53:55,019
question and they're usually pretty good you tell them when you want the answer

791
00:53:55,019 --> 00:53:59,820
back if it's high priority or low and

792
00:53:59,820 --> 00:54:01,860
password to get in if you don't

793
00:54:01,860 --> 00:54:02,019
remember

794
00:54:02,019 --> 00:54:13,130
let me know and that's that's pretty much it for now when you talk when I

795
00:54:13,130 --> 00:54:17,809
talk with her it seems they're just kind of getting up and running right now so

796
00:54:17,809 --> 00:54:22,800
there are still some things that they want to hire out like I said I asked her

797
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:28,699
is there any like inspections or anything that she should keep file of the

798
00:54:28,699 --> 00:54:32,280
any complaints that we deal with and also

799
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:32,440
we're going to have to make sure that we're going to make sure that we're doing

800
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,179
with what you've been doing I think is keeping a file of the people that have

801
00:54:36,179 --> 00:54:46,409
taken the test and by the way if anybody any of the people that may get elected

802
00:54:46,409 --> 00:54:51,329
new people come on that are already up I think it's they have something like 30

803
00:54:51,329 --> 00:54:55,130
days or whatever I have to look it up to get it but if you're already in a

804
00:54:55,130 --> 00:55:01,099
position you can't tell I think you can't be like September

805
00:55:01,099 --> 00:55:02,099
but like I said every case is about 10-15 days

806
00:55:02,699 --> 00:55:12,920
I thought that you had to put the form on the left page, but it could be for people to fill out if they want to file a complaint.

807
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:13,920
I guess we could.

808
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:15,920
We could set that one up too.

809
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:16,920
Why not?

810
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:17,920
It doesn't hurt.

811
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:18,920
Yeah, why not?

812
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:28,210
Well, the big thing I think is just refer them to, everything they need is on there.

813
00:55:28,210 --> 00:55:43,570
That's good. Keep yourself informed in what we're supposed to do.

814
00:55:43,570 --> 00:55:46,570
I'm worried every time I look at that too.

815
00:55:46,570 --> 00:55:48,570
Well, this is all new for all of us.

816
00:55:48,570 --> 00:55:56,659
So, yeah, you can get us a code of ethics or a college of interest and we can work on that.

817
00:55:56,659 --> 00:56:08,800
Any other old business that we need to talk about? New business.

818
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:13,139
I got one little thing I just want to mention.

819
00:56:13,139 --> 00:56:16,519
I know, because he's...

820
00:56:16,519 --> 00:56:18,519
I started off with a hundred questions.

821
00:56:18,519 --> 00:56:19,519
I know.

822
00:56:19,519 --> 00:56:20,519
He said he's done.

823
00:56:20,519 --> 00:56:22,519
They're all stuff that we're running.

824
00:56:22,519 --> 00:56:23,519
Yeah.

825
00:56:23,519 --> 00:56:24,519
This is Angela.

826
00:56:24,519 --> 00:56:26,519
She's actually about our whole meeting.

827
00:56:26,519 --> 00:56:32,710
It's come to my attention, there's been a few people in the town and they won't come here for some reason.

828
00:56:32,710 --> 00:56:34,710
I don't want to come to the bench right here.

829
00:56:34,710 --> 00:56:43,019
We have a order of how we run our meetings.

830
00:56:43,019 --> 00:56:47,019
And someone said, well, meetings go on and on and on and on and on and people talk.

831
00:56:47,019 --> 00:56:50,019
Some people get to talk a lot longer than other people.

832
00:56:50,019 --> 00:56:56,590
And I kind of agree, but I've always been a big fan of the...

833
00:56:56,590 --> 00:57:00,590
First Amendment rights to speak and so on.

834
00:57:00,590 --> 00:57:04,610
And so I guess what I was...

835
00:57:04,610 --> 00:57:09,869
I've seen other meetings where you're not allowed to talk it off after your five minutes.

836
00:57:09,869 --> 00:57:10,869
So we have five minutes.

837
00:57:10,869 --> 00:57:11,869
We have 15 minutes.

838
00:57:11,869 --> 00:57:12,869
Then we go on with a meeting.

839
00:57:12,869 --> 00:57:13,869
We have discussion.

840
00:57:13,869 --> 00:57:16,869
The discussion is supposed to be for us.

841
00:57:16,869 --> 00:57:21,869
But we've always allowed everyone to ask questions where if you go even to the school board,

842
00:57:21,869 --> 00:57:26,869
you raise your hand all day and depending on who you are, they might not even answer that.

843
00:57:26,869 --> 00:57:31,190
And Stanford's not as bad if you go to North Adams.

844
00:57:31,190 --> 00:57:34,190
You are not allowed to talk.

845
00:57:34,190 --> 00:57:37,190
I think that I'd like to have a happy medium.

846
00:57:37,190 --> 00:57:41,190
I guess that's what I'd like to see us as a maybe activity.

847
00:57:41,190 --> 00:57:44,190
I like sitting down where we have new board members.

848
00:57:44,190 --> 00:57:49,699
I think Nancy does a phenomenal job as chair.

849
00:57:49,699 --> 00:57:53,699
But I think sometimes you get taken advantage of during a meeting.

850
00:57:53,699 --> 00:57:56,699
People like to over-talk you.

851
00:57:56,699 --> 00:57:59,699
And I know you've got your little hammer sometimes.

852
00:57:59,699 --> 00:58:05,699
But sometimes I think the rest of the board ought to step in and say, that's enough.

853
00:58:05,699 --> 00:58:10,699
So I guess what I'm asking is almost like permission to tell...

854
00:58:10,699 --> 00:58:14,699
I never asked you, but I want to overstep you too.

855
00:58:14,699 --> 00:58:17,699
Almost to say, hey, look, you've been talking.

856
00:58:17,699 --> 00:58:21,699
We've had people get up and actually stand up and walk towards us.

857
00:58:21,699 --> 00:58:26,699
You've been talking for 30 minutes here about the same thing that you talked about last meeting.

858
00:58:26,699 --> 00:58:29,699
Well, at times there's three different conversations going on.

859
00:58:29,699 --> 00:58:30,699
Yeah.

860
00:58:30,699 --> 00:58:31,699
That's what's hard.

861
00:58:31,699 --> 00:58:32,699
So we need to...

862
00:58:32,699 --> 00:58:37,699
I guess that's one thing I'd like to see in the future is kind of rein in that a little bit.

863
00:58:37,699 --> 00:58:41,699
And I know I've been blamed myself for talking too much.

864
00:58:41,699 --> 00:58:42,699
And Dave's like, all right, let's go.

865
00:58:42,699 --> 00:58:43,699
We've got to go.

866
00:58:43,699 --> 00:58:44,699
I've got to go home and sleep.

867
00:58:44,699 --> 00:58:46,699
But I'm a board member, so too bad.

868
00:58:46,699 --> 00:58:54,960
But no, I really think that the people that mention it to me actually are not in favor of me at all.

869
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:55,960
They're like, your meetings are going crazy.

870
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:56,960
They're going crazy.

871
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,960
And they kind of yelled at me.

872
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:03,960
So it wasn't a friend.

873
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,960
Anyways, I just think that, you know, I've seen it happen.

874
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:14,960
And we've had those certain issues, the sign issue, you know, that went on for too long.

875
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,719
Maybe we could say, okay, we heard you.

876
00:59:17,719 --> 00:59:19,719
We got the point.

877
00:59:19,719 --> 00:59:25,719
And then we'll look into this and move on instead of saying, let them just babble on, you know.

878
00:59:25,719 --> 00:59:30,719
Well, how I feel as chairman, I feel that you guys are all equal to me.

879
00:59:30,719 --> 00:59:35,719
That just because as chairman, I figure I do the agenda and we get the meeting going.

880
00:59:35,719 --> 00:59:37,719
But jump in at a time.

881
00:59:37,719 --> 00:59:38,719
I would never want to take this over.

882
00:59:38,719 --> 00:59:39,719
That's not what I'm asking.

883
00:59:39,719 --> 00:59:41,719
Jump in and just say, hey, wait a minute.

884
00:59:41,719 --> 00:59:42,719
You've had your five minutes.

885
00:59:42,719 --> 00:59:48,719
I think with the last meeting we got going, I don't know if anybody remembers, I said, point of order.

886
00:59:48,719 --> 00:59:50,719
I make a motion to move the question.

887
00:59:50,719 --> 00:59:52,719
I believe that's part of .

888
00:59:52,719 --> 00:59:54,719
And everybody kind of laughed with it.

889
00:59:54,719 --> 00:59:55,719
But we don't.

890
00:59:55,719 --> 00:59:56,719
And that's the thing.

891
00:59:56,719 --> 00:59:58,719
We've turned Robert's Rules into .

892
00:59:58,719 --> 00:59:59,719
And you're right.

893
00:59:59,719 --> 01:00:03,719
I've done Robert's Rules before other venues.

894
01:00:03,719 --> 01:00:05,719
And, yeah, you're right.

895
01:00:05,719 --> 01:00:12,230
Curtrake, there was one incident where there was like three conversations.

896
01:00:12,230 --> 01:00:15,230
We were talking about the budget that night.

897
01:00:15,230 --> 01:00:20,230
And there was conversations that were literally personal vendettas.

898
01:00:20,230 --> 01:00:22,230
And I was like, all right.

899
01:00:22,230 --> 01:00:23,230
I'm not.

900
01:00:23,230 --> 01:00:25,230
And it was actually some of the board members.

901
01:00:25,230 --> 01:00:26,230
And some of the people.

902
01:00:26,230 --> 01:00:27,230
And some of the.

903
01:00:27,230 --> 01:00:32,230
And how are the board members going to hear what's going on that's important?

904
01:00:32,230 --> 01:00:34,230
And we're trying to be polite.

905
01:00:34,230 --> 01:00:37,230
So, you know, Judd's over there talking to you.

906
01:00:37,230 --> 01:00:38,230
We're trying to be polite.

907
01:00:38,230 --> 01:00:39,230
You know, Judd's a nice guy.

908
01:00:39,230 --> 01:00:41,230
We're not going to tell him to shut up.

909
01:00:41,230 --> 01:00:44,230
But on the other hand, this is, look, that's nothing to do with it.

910
01:00:44,230 --> 01:00:45,230
Judd's not saying anything.

911
01:00:45,230 --> 01:00:53,230
But I'm saying, you know, but if we're talking, if Dave's got the table and he's telling us about the budget, we should let that go on, I guess.

912
01:00:53,230 --> 01:00:54,230
And, you know, politely say.

913
01:00:54,230 --> 01:00:55,230
Hey, we've got to stop.

914
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:56,230
And you've done that before.

915
01:00:56,230 --> 01:00:57,230
You've said, hey, you're not.

916
01:00:57,230 --> 01:00:58,230
We've let it go on.

917
01:00:58,230 --> 01:00:59,230
I got it all back for it.

918
01:00:59,230 --> 01:01:00,230
So I'm just giving it back to you.

919
01:01:00,230 --> 01:01:01,230
Well, the opening statement, welcome to a meeting on the Stanford Select Board, that can be changed.

920
01:01:01,230 --> 01:01:02,230
Well, 15 minutes.

921
01:01:02,230 --> 01:01:03,230
If we allow it to go 15 minutes, many times.

922
01:01:03,230 --> 01:01:04,230
And I understand that.

923
01:01:04,230 --> 01:01:05,230
We do.

924
01:01:05,230 --> 01:01:06,230
We go over 15.

925
01:01:06,230 --> 01:01:07,230
But if there's five people that night talking.

926
01:01:07,230 --> 01:01:08,230
You know, Laura comes in about the ATVs.

927
01:01:08,230 --> 01:01:09,230
That was a big one.

928
01:01:09,230 --> 01:01:10,230
I don't know.

929
01:01:10,230 --> 01:01:11,230
I don't know.

930
01:01:11,230 --> 01:01:12,230
I don't know.

931
01:01:12,230 --> 01:01:13,230
I don't know.

932
01:01:13,230 --> 01:01:14,230
I don't know.

933
01:01:14,230 --> 01:01:15,230
I don't know.

934
01:01:15,230 --> 01:01:16,230
I don't know.

935
01:01:16,230 --> 01:01:17,230
I don't know.

936
01:01:17,230 --> 01:01:18,230
I don't know.

937
01:01:24,230 --> 01:01:27,929
We've all been given 15 minutes.

938
01:01:27,929 --> 01:01:30,250
Remember, we had to go out there.

939
01:01:30,250 --> 01:01:32,530
We had the biggest meeting we ever had in the town of Stanford, right?

940
01:01:32,530 --> 01:01:33,530
If you get 30 people doing Это мы завершили.

941
01:01:33,530 --> 01:01:38,530
If you want to take 15 minutes of your time, we'll be here in a bit.

942
01:01:38,530 --> 01:01:39,530
You know?

943
01:01:39,530 --> 01:01:40,530
So we have to.

944
01:01:40,530 --> 01:01:41,530
We can do this.

945
01:01:41,530 --> 01:01:42,530
I guess you know when.

946
01:01:42,530 --> 01:01:44,530
Tonight, go ahead and talk out loud how you want when you have plenty of time.

947
01:01:44,530 --> 01:01:45,530
I think, what's the school board?

948
01:01:45,530 --> 01:01:46,530
Five minutes?

949
01:01:46,530 --> 01:01:47,719
Yeah.

950
01:01:47,719 --> 01:01:48,719
Two minutes.

951
01:01:48,719 --> 01:01:49,719
I don't know.

952
01:01:49,719 --> 01:01:50,719
I think it's two minutes.

953
01:01:50,719 --> 01:01:51,719
Two minutes and they give you a 30-second beeper.

954
01:01:51,719 --> 01:01:52,719
But it's not just there.

955
01:01:52,719 --> 01:01:53,719
But it's all there.

956
01:01:53,719 --> 01:01:58,840
but it's a lot looser now i think we had when there was the contentious issues over there and

957
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:03,159
there was a huge crowd of people then it was strictly enforced two minutes but it's a lot

958
01:02:03,159 --> 01:02:08,840
looser now than it used to be you still got your second timer no no nobody uses a timer

959
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,760
because it comes to the meetings now i mean but the thing is you're talking and all of a sudden

960
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:20,760
here you know you have that yeah you know i just keep talking

961
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:27,239
well it's going to keep it in place in case you need that time that you have that yeah

962
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:33,719
you just have one select board timing and go 15 minutes is up that's it and that was you know

963
01:02:33,719 --> 01:02:39,719
i guess just get a shot clock there was i and i'm not disagreeing with the people that yelled

964
01:02:39,719 --> 01:02:43,099
at me but to a point i am but they there was

965
01:02:43,179 --> 01:02:48,380
were times we allowed certain people to talk more because they were the type of person where

966
01:02:48,380 --> 01:02:52,860
if you told them not to they were just going to make it worse anyways so we just let it go

967
01:02:53,500 --> 01:02:57,420
it's like all right he's just going to keep talking anyway it's like trying to shut me up

968
01:03:00,139 --> 01:03:05,980
yeah so you see that and there's probably some of the same people yeah so you know we had it

969
01:03:05,980 --> 01:03:13,750
at the town meeting where someone came to the podium to talk that's a lot of time and then

970
01:03:14,070 --> 01:03:20,309
does everybody get a chance for a podium you know so if you're the loudest voice you get heard

971
01:03:20,309 --> 01:03:25,750
like that's how i feel a lot exactly yeah exactly but i know i mean i know i have that

972
01:03:26,469 --> 01:03:30,869
i'm at fault sometimes i know i had that personality where i could talk a little bit

973
01:03:30,869 --> 01:03:34,389
louder and shut her person down but that's not right i probably shouldn't have been allowed

974
01:03:34,389 --> 01:03:41,989
and registered no no but it was just very a new person that was a moderator that won't move sorry

975
01:03:41,989 --> 01:03:43,190
question your time's up

976
01:03:44,550 --> 01:03:50,789
no more hearing a visit may i make the suggestion and to reinforce uh if it's gonna if you're

977
01:03:50,789 --> 01:03:56,150
what you want to talk about is one in five minutes and the conversation will be 15 minutes that you

978
01:03:56,150 --> 01:04:01,110
get added to ask to be added to the agenda i have said that to people the matter of fact during the

979
01:04:01,110 --> 01:04:06,630
covid era which again i only talked about but there were people it was a heated discussion

980
01:04:06,630 --> 01:04:13,909
and there was one woman that was already a board member and she didn't have the platform that the

981
01:04:14,070 --> 01:04:19,110
board member had and i agree with her i disagree with her stance but i agree with her and said

982
01:04:19,110 --> 01:04:23,030
i'm going to put you on the agenda next week she came on the agenda next week and let her talk about

983
01:04:23,030 --> 01:04:27,349
she wanted it and i think that's great because then you don't have a limit then you can talk

984
01:04:27,349 --> 01:04:36,780
as much as i do right something to think about yeah step in any time guys hey you're talking

985
01:04:36,780 --> 01:04:42,300
too much in one conversation because it's very hard to hear up here too if someone over the

986
01:04:42,300 --> 01:04:45,980
corner i'm pointing to you today but well exactly this is real

987
01:04:46,219 --> 01:04:51,420
that corner is bad it kind of echoes out over here and came here yeah he's got us on camera

988
01:04:51,420 --> 01:04:58,699
he's not on camera look at this yeah what i was going to say is with this whole idea is that um

989
01:04:58,699 --> 01:05:06,550
the one thing i did notice from italian is that it would be would have a spectator podium that

990
01:05:06,550 --> 01:05:11,269
everyone would go from for the you know you walk up to it instead of going into into the front

991
01:05:12,710 --> 01:05:16,309
talking to you guys instead of away from you oh like

992
01:05:16,469 --> 01:05:19,190
on the side or something that they can see the audience

993
01:05:21,110 --> 01:05:25,909
select board also because the person carries the mic over so what's the difference if they have to

994
01:05:25,909 --> 01:05:33,699
walk or they want to walk yeah i mean again and with the town meeting who runs that's the

995
01:05:33,699 --> 01:05:41,460
media here you know it's not us but yeah i mean that was a new person i know bill would have

996
01:05:41,460 --> 01:05:47,300
definitely done things differently and now we don't we have an opening for that so that's

997
01:05:47,460 --> 01:05:55,769
going to be interesting if we don't have someone that takes the reins of that yeah did you you'd

998
01:05:55,769 --> 01:06:02,739
call me you wanted to talk to something hearing of visitors tonight were you wanting well maybe

999
01:06:02,739 --> 01:06:10,539
it wasn't maybe it was somebody else okay i think oh no i know there's two other people yes yeah

1000
01:06:14,179 --> 01:06:19,219
no it was two people and i told them to come to the select board meeting and talk to us about

1001
01:06:19,380 --> 01:06:25,780
it there they wanted to add something to the minutes i said well if you come to the meeting

1002
01:06:25,780 --> 01:06:31,780
it'll go in the minutes but i can't add it to the i'm not adding it to this is not a newspaper right

1003
01:06:35,210 --> 01:06:39,610
new business we want to talk about we've talked about before revising the

1004
01:06:39,610 --> 01:06:48,440
employee handbook so i was looking at that and the highway job description and one of them oh in the

1005
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:50,840
the labor

1006
01:06:50,920 --> 01:07:00,599
of job description the laborer says uh his time is coming in he comes in at six to four and the

1007
01:07:00,599 --> 01:07:07,880
highway job description says he comes in at seven to four or something like that this is it's all

1008
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:14,539
over the place so we've got to consolidate these and try to uh get them all on the same page and

1009
01:07:14,539 --> 01:07:19,900
work in the same hour same description because it depends on the board and who was hiring and they

1010
01:07:19,900 --> 01:07:20,860
never looked at everything

1011
01:07:21,019 --> 01:07:26,780
else but the employee handbook i think that's probably the first thing we should look at and

1012
01:07:26,780 --> 01:07:34,119
lori sent them to everybody uh so if you look them over write your thoughts in there dave you've got

1013
01:07:34,119 --> 01:07:45,900
a copy of it yeah okay if you look it over give us suggestions job description and labor description

1014
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:52,519
and we've got one for the recycling description that's all the time right yeah you're gonna have to

1015
01:07:52,840 --> 01:08:02,360
look at that for the recycling description that says uh he's responsible for the incinerator and

1016
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:09,719
i don't think that's been different we will tell these yeah so um just look them over and we'll try

1017
01:08:09,719 --> 01:08:19,510
to take one at a time to review these any other new business okay uh make a motion to go into

1018
01:08:19,510 --> 01:08:24,390
executive session for personnel and is there anything with the

1019
01:08:24,470 --> 01:08:30,560
so the litigation we don't need to go we don't need to discuss that okay all

1020
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,829
favor
