forest we're going to be losing our fourth surveyor um so it's 217 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:05,480 it's going to still be a while until that that causes that that property closes um i i don't 218 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:12,200 want to venture a guess but not probably not within the next year for sure it's not longer so um 219 00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:18,840 excuse me you said heart reads where that's that little piece right that little piece up the top 220 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:28,039 though well yeah well this is all a big piece that's right yes yes but oh that's right oh i thought 221 00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:33,039 Is that, it's a donation from Park Forestry, Mr., yeah. 222 00:09:34,139 --> 00:09:37,409 Is that the one with the land of public trust? 223 00:09:37,409 --> 00:09:39,730 That is the one with the trust for public safety. 224 00:09:39,730 --> 00:09:43,730 So who owns the land, still the land of public trust? 225 00:09:43,730 --> 00:09:45,250 Yeah, yeah, exactly. 226 00:09:46,330 --> 00:09:48,250 Did you realize when you pursued that 227 00:09:48,250 --> 00:09:51,070 that that is a water resource for Stanford 228 00:09:51,070 --> 00:09:53,330 that's being taken away, Broadbrook? 229 00:09:56,250 --> 00:09:58,879 Does not Broadbrook. 230 00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:01,960 It's part of that land that goes through there. 231 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,799 And it used to feed the city of North Adams 232 00:10:04,799 --> 00:10:05,980 for about 150 years. 233 00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:09,059 I thought the city of North Adams was further west end. 234 00:10:09,059 --> 00:10:10,120 Was it further up? 235 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,860 Yeah, it comes down, it just all comes down. 236 00:10:12,860 --> 00:10:15,899 Because this is like a roaring brookway, isn't it? 237 00:10:15,899 --> 00:10:18,899 Yes, this is which way does the brook travel? 238 00:10:18,899 --> 00:10:21,480 To which way does the brook travel? 239 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:22,399 Where is Broadbrook? 240 00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:24,559 Broadbrook's on the other side. 241 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,460 That's over to the west. 242 00:10:26,460 --> 00:10:28,120 This is going up by Tim Meshika. 243 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,240 Forrest has owned a lot over there. 244 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,330 Forrest has it now. 245 00:10:33,330 --> 00:10:36,570 So that was part of the acquisition of North Adams? 246 00:10:36,570 --> 00:10:37,409 Yes. 247 00:10:37,409 --> 00:10:38,250 Yes. 248 00:10:38,250 --> 00:10:40,799 About 10, 12 years ago, I think. 249 00:10:40,799 --> 00:10:42,299 2007, 2008? 250 00:10:42,299 --> 00:10:43,940 I think, yeah. 251 00:10:43,940 --> 00:10:45,559 How many acres is that? 252 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:50,559 That is 14, 20, 1,000 acres. 253 00:10:51,740 --> 00:10:53,519 Well, that's all national forestry. 254 00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:57,139 Well, right now it's owned by this non-profit 255 00:10:57,139 --> 00:10:58,539 called the Trust for Public Safety. 256 00:10:58,539 --> 00:10:59,379 Right. 257 00:10:59,580 --> 00:11:01,269 It's also owned by the Forest Service. 258 00:11:01,269 --> 00:11:03,269 So that's, they're basically holding it 259 00:11:03,269 --> 00:11:07,850 until the Forest Service fires it. 260 00:11:07,850 --> 00:11:11,210 So if we wanted to query about a water source 261 00:11:11,210 --> 00:11:15,460 that we used to own with the national forest, 262 00:11:15,460 --> 00:11:19,559 how would we do that? 263 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,419 What kind of question would you be asking us? 264 00:11:22,419 --> 00:11:27,279 Could we have water rights that the land is still there? 265 00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:29,759 I don't know exactly the process of it. 266 00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:31,000 Mark, you would probably want to use a pipe. 267 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,879 uh going from there to north adams right now that they use right up to right i'd have to 268 00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:43,000 read our our lands staff on the forest would have to look in the records for one that like 269 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:50,120 i have one other question we take a reduced fee from the national forest on taxes we 270 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:55,960 obviously pay very very low taxes on the amount of land that you have i think it's 20 or 30 000. 271 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:01,720 is there any way that we can get that scaled up because we can't do anything with it anymore we 272 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:07,960 can't our town can't grow because of all these sales that people in the past let go so is there 273 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:13,480 a way to query the government to get this raised up a little bit for the thousands of acres like 274 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:21,480 the payment in lieu of taxes yes yeah that's a i that's a way above my pay grade of being able to 275 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,720 make those that's probably a political answer have you ever heard of anybody going after it i mean 276 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:32,039 yeah i think that's more speak to your elected officials to where that's not our i mean we're 277 00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:36,519 no okay i'm just asking there used to be several different ways you know the pilt you know payment 278 00:12:36,519 --> 00:12:41,559 lure taxes is something we use now but we used to have secure rural schools and so like when we sold 279 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,440 a timber sale the town got 25 of all the proceeds and i think that's gone away and they decided to 280 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,919 go with pills because it's easier you know if a town said we don't want any logging they didn't 281 00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:55,399 get any money from any of their land then you know that's what happened with that but i think it's 282 00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:55,879 that there's a 283 00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,200 that it's a political answer i hate to say that but that's that's fine i just thought while you're 284 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,240 here oh it's been a good question though okay thank you i mean to go back on the first question 285 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:10,679 about like water systems there are other towns that have water systems on the floor some of them 286 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:16,440 require a special use permit it depends what's located if it's a well a pump house but i know 287 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,960 of like some municipal systems that feed like a dozen homes in a community or something and 288 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,879 we have like south rolling group has a collection facility 289 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:31,000 it's on the forest so there are ways to get like you're talking specifically the broadbrook 290 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,559 that's essentially what broadbrook broadbrook did yeah a couple houses over in lamestown and 291 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,240 parts of our battles but yeah it's all they're i mean they're talking about working dams off 292 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,799 there you know right it's that it's not going to be a functional water source 293 00:13:44,919 --> 00:13:47,960 look around at the dome trailhead right there right now 294 00:13:53,299 --> 00:13:56,500 so you're saying none of the water comes from stanford 295 00:13:57,059 --> 00:14:01,539 all the water comes from stanford i mean so why does it come from stanford that goes into the 296 00:14:01,539 --> 00:14:05,299 deer field there's water that comes from stanford that goes over towards bennington stanford's a 297 00:14:05,299 --> 00:14:11,620 source of water so north adams took the time to spend a lot of money to pipe in right up into 298 00:14:11,620 --> 00:14:15,299 stanford i've seen the pipes mark they're not going to do it anymore they're going to dismantle 299 00:14:15,860 --> 00:14:20,019 yeah but i'm saying it's there and it's a possibility for us 300 00:14:20,580 --> 00:14:26,259 because there's no way we can dig wells here because of contamination stuff 301 00:14:27,220 --> 00:14:31,740 but if we could pipe in water right then they don't have to live on the same thing 302 00:14:31,740 --> 00:14:37,370 so it's just the bottom we've given away a couple a sucker pond i think you've 303 00:14:38,570 --> 00:14:39,129 what does it mean 304 00:14:43,129 --> 00:14:44,090 hydrological studies 305 00:14:47,769 --> 00:14:49,049 yeah before you purchase 306 00:14:53,769 --> 00:14:53,929 okay 307 00:14:53,929 --> 00:14:54,409 stanford 308 00:14:54,409 --> 00:14:59,610 i don't know why it was before i got here but i would assume that you know we 309 00:14:59,610 --> 00:15:03,129 did some type of research see what we were getting and how it was being managed before 310 00:15:04,330 --> 00:15:07,929 because we're gonna like you know we're gonna acquire a piece of land that we need to know 311 00:15:07,929 --> 00:15:13,610 who's got access to it you know you listen to the or something like that and because 312 00:15:13,610 --> 00:15:18,649 you have to manage for that right who keeps track of all the railways to their properties 313 00:15:19,450 --> 00:15:24,330 that's our link so the the lands staff and if it's a well yeah the 314 00:15:24,809 --> 00:15:33,240 yeah the land staff and uh we have all the files each acquisition each you guys hold on to that yeah 315 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:38,120 we hold on to that and there's public access that you bet you don't look at it i think you have to 316 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:43,879 ask those schedule it so we can get back and that's how where would you keep all that uh those 317 00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:50,039 are kept with our lands up in the men well we have some on the district some as well as some are in 318 00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:55,000 the mendon office they're more about the stuff in mind yeah but we do have some if we don't have a 319 00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:03,639 don't have it then we i usually refer them people to our headquarters office since we yeah we have 320 00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:10,649 files we have a lot of files though um from a lot of small acquisitions over the years but we don't 321 00:16:10,649 --> 00:16:16,330 want to take it we'll probably only wait a couple more minutes so we can quickly go over the sure 322 00:16:16,330 --> 00:16:20,169 like martina's they've got her information any questions you have if you come up with 323 00:16:20,169 --> 00:16:26,090 afterwards let her know and we can pass it along you know so um so my name is stacy stratton i'm the 324 00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:31,850 manager and i probably have met a lot of you here already over the years or someplace in other woods 325 00:16:31,850 --> 00:16:40,330 or something but uh so the camp casino timber sales off for pro 73 or i guess that's the i just 326 00:16:40,330 --> 00:16:44,169 can't just you know when you get the other end of it it's the pecos bill you know that area so 327 00:16:44,169 --> 00:16:48,490 that's almost all been harvested up there so there's a little bit left probably one winter 328 00:16:48,490 --> 00:16:54,090 hunter excavation just didn't get to it this winter they harvested the dutch hill sale instead 329 00:16:55,690 --> 00:16:57,210 so the logging is done 330 00:16:57,769 --> 00:17:02,169 the hauling is all left to do because the mills weren't taking when it was a glut so it's all 331 00:17:02,169 --> 00:17:07,289 sitting on the landings but there's a ton of service work you know there was a lot of soil 332 00:17:07,289 --> 00:17:13,210 damage from past you know atvs off-road vehicles on that thin soil but we've got contracts with 333 00:17:13,210 --> 00:17:18,170 hunter to do water bars and we're trying to slow the water down try to repair some of the damage 334 00:17:18,170 --> 00:17:26,009 put up some rock barricades um you know do some site preparation to prepare for the next generation 335 00:17:27,369 --> 00:17:32,490 and we're able to make that happen so that's a lot of stuff to do we're making sure we're 336 00:17:32,490 --> 00:17:35,690 getting the right quality and the right quality of development and so we're not only getting 337 00:17:35,690 --> 00:17:56,549 the right quality but also the right size so we're not having to put up with the 338 00:17:56,549 --> 00:18:02,359 much but they've improved that road quite a bit if you've been over there broadbrook timber sale 339 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,799 there hasn't been any operations on that that's another hunter excavation owns that one the main 340 00:18:07,799 --> 00:18:12,920 access for that is off of risky ranch road you know there's a an oval road that goes in that way 341 00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:19,839 plus you know we're trying to get some access in town the maltese timber sale you know a lot 342 00:18:19,839 --> 00:18:24,640 of the units are off the maltese road off the county road and then off risky ranch that that 343 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:30,720 can operate on a little bit uh this one here again um you know uh i think uh mr cynical you 344 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,200 know i wrote mike cynical that i think he bought that this is stewardship there's a lot of service 345 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:43,750 work to go with that too but i don't think we have any more sales down here planned but we do we're 346 00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:50,099 going to be in reedsboro for some more sales over there and um hoosick ridge and then another one 347 00:18:50,099 --> 00:18:54,660 over off the huddle palm room so that's kind of you know what you'll see us you know over there 348 00:18:55,299 --> 00:18:58,049 what is uh the 349 00:18:58,289 --> 00:19:05,250 position of windmills the national forest today what is it what is your position on windmills 350 00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:14,319 again we we have them on public land but i i don't know exactly what the position is and we're 351 00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:20,869 waiting for that so they're not a policy issue you know for the windmills we're not there's no 352 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:34,119 so 353 00:19:35,079 --> 00:19:41,559 right planner been working down here a couple different projects but recreation in general 354 00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:46,839 the program priorities in stanford include public access um offering dispersed recreation 355 00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:52,440 opportunities and managing trails for a variety of user groups but first i'll talk a little bit 356 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:58,039 about the appalachian trail and corridor management so we're focused on protecting 357 00:19:58,039 --> 00:20:03,559 the corridor that runs through stanford over the past few years there's a set warner shelter and a 358 00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:11,640 shelter that was just south of county road back in like the 80s it was moved once from like user 359 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,440 conflicts which was dragged with a skidder but we continue to see user conflicts at that site with 360 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:22,839 you know motorized vehicles and kids partying and things like that so we dismantled that shelter and 361 00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:28,200 there's a new set of shelter it's two miles up from county road on the appalachian trail 362 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:33,720 so that's completed with a new backcountry privy brand new shelter this summer we're going to bring 363 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:34,920 a bear box up there we 364 00:20:35,079 --> 00:20:40,119 have a food closure order basically so you don't attract bears to your site you need to get a bear 365 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:45,240 box installed up there where you have to hang your food in a tree so you don't create like 366 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:51,079 a problem with nuisance bears in the neighborhood but during the field season a couple other things 367 00:20:51,079 --> 00:20:53,960 going on with the appalachian trail we partner with the green mountain club 368 00:20:55,079 --> 00:20:58,839 they're going to relocate the appalachian trail just at the power line 369 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,640 where it hits massachusetts because it's on private land so it doesn't really offer much 370 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:04,200 protection 371 00:21:05,079 --> 00:21:09,480 permanently for that trail corridor so they're going to move it on a national forest to provide 372 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:15,319 that permanent protection and then green mountain club is also going to have a trail crew working 373 00:21:15,319 --> 00:21:24,450 in stanford from about that area up to risky ranch just over time the traffic we see about 15 000 374 00:21:24,450 --> 00:21:30,369 through hikers on that trail each year so it's just washed out and muddy needs some attention 375 00:21:31,009 --> 00:21:35,089 so i'll switch gears to atb and off-highway 376 00:21:35,170 --> 00:21:41,329 vehicle management so we've got two trails in town the sucker pond trail and then the risky 377 00:21:41,329 --> 00:21:45,809 ranch trail so over the past few years in partnership with the stanford group riders 378 00:21:46,369 --> 00:21:50,529 cleaned up the risky ranch trail that party spot the sickle hole to refer to 379 00:21:51,650 --> 00:21:56,769 i was just out there this past week there's still some tire burning going on but the big pit with 380 00:21:56,769 --> 00:22:02,849 all the like fire pit the furniture has been pretty cleaned up the club helped block off some 381 00:22:05,170 --> 00:22:09,250 around it that were getting torn up with some logs and rock barriers and the 382 00:22:09,250 --> 00:22:13,390 club also worked on a section of County Road leading down from the power line to 383 00:22:13,390 --> 00:22:18,930 the intersection so I feel like it's looking better. We've had some law 384 00:22:18,930 --> 00:22:23,630 enforcement presence last year. Patrols will continue this year a little bit as 385 00:22:23,630 --> 00:22:30,529 well. The sucker pond trail itself is now closed for summer OHV use for a few 386 00:22:30,529 --> 00:22:34,410 reasons but it's still open for snowmobile use. We just installed a gate 387 00:22:34,410 --> 00:22:40,049 last fall at the County Road intersection. It did get damaged on the 388 00:22:40,049 --> 00:22:44,849 back and when the gate was closed it got rammed, bent, broke the pin off so we just 389 00:22:44,849 --> 00:22:48,130 repaired it and closed it since snowmobile season ended but we're still 390 00:22:48,130 --> 00:22:52,369 trying to work with the clubs on the Bennington side to get support from the 391 00:22:52,369 --> 00:22:58,589 town. So basically when the sucker pond trail runs north it hits a right-of-way 392 00:22:58,589 --> 00:23:04,230 that the town of Bennington has those water rights and all those camps 393 00:23:04,230 --> 00:23:04,349 and that's what we're trying to do. 394 00:23:04,410 --> 00:23:08,730 So they can access from the Woodford side all those camp owners but multiple 395 00:23:08,730 --> 00:23:13,109 times when we've gone to talk to the town of Bennington they say there's a 396 00:23:13,109 --> 00:23:17,609 lot of issues and they would prefer just to keep it permission only to the camp 397 00:23:17,609 --> 00:23:22,950 owners at the moment. So until they're willing to open it to all public use or 398 00:23:22,950 --> 00:23:28,650 have it on like the VASA network we basically need both towns on each end to 399 00:23:28,650 --> 00:23:33,230 kind of support it in order to open it up to the general public. Then we would 400 00:23:33,230 --> 00:23:34,230 improve the trail. 401 00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:38,049 Now we're looking to move up to Bumper He disastrous trail. 402 00:23:38,049 --> 00:23:39,069 It's got a good section for the trail. 403 00:23:39,069 --> 00:23:41,049 There's a one section we need to have the location in. 404 00:23:41,049 --> 00:23:41,789 There's no trend which would be a lot of rock work. 405 00:23:41,789 --> 00:23:44,349 There is one wetland relocation that still needs to happen. 406 00:23:44,349 --> 00:23:45,869 We had some different folks look at it. 407 00:23:45,869 --> 00:23:49,309 There was a potential grant from the state it's the recreation trail program grant. 408 00:23:49,309 --> 00:23:56,089 They have a clause that basically the trail can't be located in a wetland so that one 409 00:23:56,089 --> 00:23:59,150 section needs about a 1,200 foot relocation. 410 00:23:59,150 --> 00:24:01,849 So there's a lot of money that we don't have to invest in the trail. 411 00:24:01,849 --> 00:24:04,630 We have a little bit of money from Bronco Wild a couple of years ago. 412 00:24:04,650 --> 00:24:08,890 And we've invested all of that into the Stagecoach Trail. 413 00:24:08,890 --> 00:24:11,650 Stanford Ridge Riders have done a lot of volunteer work. 414 00:24:11,650 --> 00:24:14,369 VASA had their excavator out there resurfacing it. 415 00:24:14,369 --> 00:24:18,720 So ideally, we would like, if we could get, 416 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,940 basically, the towns to support it on both ends 417 00:24:20,940 --> 00:24:23,480 and we can comply with our forest management plan 418 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,700 that says our trails have to connect 419 00:24:27,059 --> 00:24:30,400 basically multi-town summer motorized trail system 420 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,740 or not have a trail termini on our land. 421 00:24:33,740 --> 00:24:36,779 So basically, right now, if you can't drive on 422 00:24:37,819 --> 00:24:39,799 county road as part of a VASA network, 423 00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:41,980 then that basically would be like a dead-end trail. 424 00:24:41,980 --> 00:24:44,759 You'd have to turn back if you're not a resident of Stanford. 425 00:24:44,759 --> 00:24:47,279 I believe you guys have it only open to Stanford right now, 426 00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:48,619 like the Pond Lake? 427 00:24:48,619 --> 00:24:50,559 Not on there, no. 428 00:24:50,559 --> 00:24:51,400 No? 429 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,420 It got changed. 430 00:24:52,420 --> 00:24:56,140 So it's open, is it on the VASA network now? 431 00:24:56,140 --> 00:24:58,839 We were kinda waiting until we got 301 432 00:24:58,839 --> 00:25:00,059 before we went back and had it. 433 00:25:00,059 --> 00:25:03,059 We're still working very close with law enforcement 434 00:25:03,059 --> 00:25:03,740 because there's still, 435 00:25:03,740 --> 00:25:08,740 there's still a lot of, we call them cowboys or whatever. 436 00:25:08,740 --> 00:25:10,660 So hopefully our patrols can help with that, 437 00:25:10,660 --> 00:25:15,660 but basically we would like to address these few issues on, 438 00:25:15,940 --> 00:25:18,039 complying with our forest management plan, 439 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,160 having the support on the other end, 440 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,279 and then investing in the tread 441 00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:28,279 and blocking off a lot of the muddy routes along it. 442 00:25:28,279 --> 00:25:30,769 Along the stagecoach trail, 443 00:25:30,769 --> 00:25:33,349 seems like it's respected, folks stay on the route. 444 00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:36,289 They don't bash into the VAS gates 445 00:25:36,289 --> 00:25:38,589 and go up on the Snowmobile network in the summer months. 446 00:25:38,589 --> 00:25:40,089 There's a little more patrol up in that area. 447 00:25:40,089 --> 00:25:43,049 Yeah, so that's what we're looking for down here. 448 00:25:43,049 --> 00:25:43,890 Well, we were gonna talk, 449 00:25:43,890 --> 00:25:45,589 what happened to that meeting on the 10th of April 450 00:25:45,589 --> 00:25:47,650 you guys were supposed to have? 451 00:25:47,650 --> 00:25:48,549 The round table? 452 00:25:50,410 --> 00:25:51,750 Oh, there was a forest- 453 00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:53,930 All the user groups were supposed to sit down 454 00:25:53,930 --> 00:25:55,329 and talk about a lot of this stuff? 455 00:25:55,329 --> 00:25:56,829 They got canceled. 456 00:25:56,829 --> 00:25:59,569 Yeah, that was like a forest-wide meeting, 457 00:25:59,569 --> 00:26:04,430 yeah, due to all the issues currently with- 458 00:26:04,430 --> 00:26:09,109 Yeah, we decided to cancel it. 459 00:26:09,109 --> 00:26:11,569 Our forest supervisor decided to cancel it, yeah, 460 00:26:11,569 --> 00:26:14,730 so we'll just have to work through it individually. 461 00:26:16,529 --> 00:26:20,190 So we're making a lot of progress in that general area. 462 00:26:20,190 --> 00:26:21,730 VAS is gonna be back out. 463 00:26:21,730 --> 00:26:26,250 We have $40,000 this summer through the Bronco Wild funding 464 00:26:26,250 --> 00:26:28,670 and then we have $15,000 from the Forest Service 465 00:26:28,670 --> 00:26:31,890 to keep investing in this OHP system, 466 00:26:32,930 --> 00:26:35,029 but we really need to convince 467 00:26:35,230 --> 00:26:37,509 the northern town to basically open it 468 00:26:37,509 --> 00:26:38,809 to folks besides just the camp. 469 00:26:38,809 --> 00:26:40,670 Well, we just worked with the town of Woodford. 470 00:26:40,670 --> 00:26:41,509 We have some paperwork, 471 00:26:41,509 --> 00:26:44,200 I don't know if they got given to you, yeah? 472 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,039 No. 473 00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:46,859 There was another thing we were gonna talk about 474 00:26:46,859 --> 00:26:49,430 last week at that meeting. 475 00:26:49,430 --> 00:26:52,390 So the town of Woodford has it as a town road 476 00:26:52,390 --> 00:26:54,589 all the way up to that Bennington right-of-way, 477 00:26:54,589 --> 00:26:58,869 so with that, we don't really get into a legal battle 478 00:26:58,869 --> 00:27:00,730 over the authority of that. 479 00:27:00,730 --> 00:27:01,609 They have no gate. 480 00:27:01,609 --> 00:27:05,170 We just installed a new gate after the last camp access, 481 00:27:05,170 --> 00:27:05,930 so now- 482 00:27:05,970 --> 00:27:06,809 Yeah. 483 00:27:06,809 --> 00:27:08,250 Suck-a-pon on the National Forest 484 00:27:08,250 --> 00:27:09,849 outside of the Woodford Town Road 485 00:27:09,849 --> 00:27:13,470 and outside of the right-of-way for the access camps 486 00:27:13,470 --> 00:27:15,470 is gated, because it's not snowmobile season. 487 00:27:15,470 --> 00:27:17,410 It's a snowmobile peak camp, right? 488 00:27:17,410 --> 00:27:20,029 Yeah, so we'll see how those gates hold up, 489 00:27:20,029 --> 00:27:24,289 but long story short, we have to have a lot more funding 490 00:27:24,289 --> 00:27:29,230 to kind of improve that and get it around this wetland area. 491 00:27:29,230 --> 00:27:32,589 And to me, the state grant requirements, 492 00:27:32,589 --> 00:27:35,690 they don't wanna see it running through that wetland area, 493 00:27:35,690 --> 00:27:37,529 so in order to get the funding, 494 00:27:37,529 --> 00:27:39,170 we have to kind of comply with some of the wetlands. 495 00:27:39,170 --> 00:27:40,009 I think they're still waiting, 496 00:27:40,009 --> 00:27:42,130 federally funded, that RTP program. 497 00:27:42,130 --> 00:27:44,650 I don't know if they even did that yet. 498 00:27:44,650 --> 00:27:45,490 Yeah. 499 00:27:45,490 --> 00:27:47,589 They have to extend it to sign off or something like that. 500 00:27:47,589 --> 00:27:49,509 That's a lot of the funding we were supposed to get 501 00:27:49,509 --> 00:27:51,609 for trail bridges, but snowmobile bridges 502 00:27:51,609 --> 00:27:52,910 didn't come through this year, 503 00:27:52,910 --> 00:27:56,470 so VAST is kind of waiting for us. 504 00:27:56,470 --> 00:27:58,630 We have funding from past agreements, 505 00:27:58,630 --> 00:28:01,670 and some of our invoices are getting paid, 506 00:28:01,670 --> 00:28:04,329 but any new money we're expecting this year is now paused. 507 00:28:04,329 --> 00:28:05,529 Yeah, no, they don't hold. 508 00:28:05,690 --> 00:28:08,150 So anyways, I feel like we've made 509 00:28:08,150 --> 00:28:10,150 a lot of good progress down there, 510 00:28:10,150 --> 00:28:12,529 and Risky Ranch is looking a lot better. 511 00:28:13,450 --> 00:28:15,750 And we do have a new law enforcement officer, Jeff. 512 00:28:15,750 --> 00:28:17,849 We have a new patrol captain, Chris Denton. 513 00:28:17,849 --> 00:28:19,349 We haven't met them yet. 514 00:28:19,349 --> 00:28:22,470 So we've been cleaning up the Rose Barn, 515 00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:24,390 just like the Risky Ranch at the other end, 516 00:28:24,390 --> 00:28:28,829 with just complaints about partying, late night ATVs, 517 00:28:28,829 --> 00:28:31,369 going back into Bennington, on Burgess Road. 518 00:28:31,369 --> 00:28:34,769 So as we have this law enforcement presence 519 00:28:34,769 --> 00:28:35,609 and a few resources, 520 00:28:35,609 --> 00:28:38,710 I mean, $40,000 isn't enough, but it's a start. 521 00:28:38,710 --> 00:28:41,410 So I feel like we're finally getting a little bit 522 00:28:41,410 --> 00:28:45,009 of progress towards getting that back open. 523 00:28:45,009 --> 00:28:47,910 So I'd be happy to meet outside 524 00:28:47,910 --> 00:28:50,670 of like a big stakeholder meeting with Woodford, 525 00:28:50,670 --> 00:28:52,630 with VASA, with Bennington. 526 00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:54,450 I know Mike Smith was a big proponent 527 00:28:54,450 --> 00:28:56,170 trying to get that access. 528 00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:58,329 I know he was trying to convince the town of Bennington, 529 00:28:58,329 --> 00:29:00,670 but every time we called, they're like, 530 00:29:00,670 --> 00:29:03,450 eh, let's just keep it for camp owners for now. 531 00:29:03,450 --> 00:29:05,369 And they're kind of nervous with, 532 00:29:05,369 --> 00:29:07,710 even though there is no enforcement of that. 533 00:29:07,710 --> 00:29:08,549 Let's be honest. 534 00:29:08,549 --> 00:29:09,970 They don't really want to even go up there, 535 00:29:09,970 --> 00:29:12,569 because, I mean, there's more than just ATVs. 536 00:29:12,569 --> 00:29:14,109 You have Jeeps and trucks. 537 00:29:14,109 --> 00:29:15,450 Yeah, yeah. 538 00:29:15,450 --> 00:29:17,829 I mean, I barely got out there to close the gate. 539 00:29:17,829 --> 00:29:21,710 Why don't you go up there with multiple agencies? 540 00:29:21,710 --> 00:29:26,869 Well, let's set something up outside of this. 541 00:29:26,869 --> 00:29:27,769 We'll be talking to you guys, 542 00:29:27,769 --> 00:29:29,670 because they're going to be coming down, 543 00:29:29,670 --> 00:29:31,529 there's a small section up on Stagecoach 544 00:29:31,529 --> 00:29:34,529 from Ryder Clear, the old Ryder farm, out to the Stonebridge. 545 00:29:34,529 --> 00:29:37,529 I'm not going to finish that up. 546 00:29:37,529 --> 00:29:38,549 Yeah. 547 00:29:38,549 --> 00:29:41,789 So in a nutshell, if we can manage it 548 00:29:41,789 --> 00:29:44,289 and have partners that will help us manage it 549 00:29:44,289 --> 00:29:47,190 and come in force and respect staying on the trail, 550 00:29:47,190 --> 00:29:49,930 then I feel like we can get this back onto our system. 551 00:29:49,930 --> 00:29:54,269 That was our general intention with that Southwood Route 9 552 00:29:54,269 --> 00:29:57,650 proposal, was to have that open with Stagecoach. 553 00:29:57,650 --> 00:30:01,289 And that trail and road was always there on Sucker Pond. 554 00:30:01,289 --> 00:30:03,930 And when we picked it up from the Trust for Public Land, 555 00:30:03,930 --> 00:30:04,529 it was a good thing. 556 00:30:04,529 --> 00:30:06,750 But we didn't really have the capacity to manage it. 557 00:30:06,750 --> 00:30:08,069 And we'll just let it go. 558 00:30:08,069 --> 00:30:11,130 And then it got to the point where it's pretty bad. 559 00:30:11,130 --> 00:30:12,789 Resource damage is nasty up there. 560 00:30:12,789 --> 00:30:13,289 Yeah. 561 00:30:13,289 --> 00:30:16,609 So if we could reel that in and have enough funding 562 00:30:16,609 --> 00:30:21,700 to address it, then we could get it back on our system. 563 00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:23,680 I'd like to see it back open, but we just 564 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,859 need to meet those objectives that are already in our force. 565 00:30:26,859 --> 00:30:28,839 And law enforcement keeps on talking. 566 00:30:28,839 --> 00:30:31,420 It'd be easier for them to patrol. 567 00:30:31,420 --> 00:30:34,420 Instead of driving all the way down here with the trailers, 568 00:30:34,619 --> 00:30:36,380 and the wheeler is to unload down here, 569 00:30:36,380 --> 00:30:41,640 just to unload in one place, and Woodford, just drive along. 570 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,079 Yeah, during the winter, I came out on a snowmobile. 571 00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:47,460 I parked at Prospect Mountain, came over to Stagecoach. 572 00:30:47,460 --> 00:30:50,640 And then there isn't a trail bridge on a stream. 573 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,059 It's, I think it's the Stamford Stream. 574 00:30:53,059 --> 00:30:58,960 It's about halfway down, or no, it's actually Roaring Brook. 575 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,779 Either way, without a bridge on that, it wasn't that great. 576 00:31:02,779 --> 00:31:04,079 Oh, on Stamford Stream? 577 00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:06,180 Well, you have to go up to Prospect Timbers, 578 00:31:06,180 --> 00:31:08,420 go over the Kelly Bridge, and that little 391 579 00:31:08,420 --> 00:31:10,680 loop down on Stamford Stream. 580 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,259 But what I noticed, instead of snowmobile tracks, 581 00:31:13,259 --> 00:31:16,119 there was a lot of UTV tracks all winter long out there. 582 00:31:16,119 --> 00:31:19,440 So it doesn't help the snowmobiles 583 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,539 when the razors are tearing it up. 584 00:31:22,539 --> 00:31:26,160 Anyways, I appreciate having a partner like Stamford Bridge 585 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:26,660 Riders. 586 00:31:26,660 --> 00:31:29,119 And without them, I don't think we would have gotten the ground 587 00:31:29,119 --> 00:31:30,539 we've gotten over at Risky Ranch. 588 00:31:30,539 --> 00:31:33,920 So I'd just like to try to keep that partnership going. 589 00:31:34,079 --> 00:31:38,710 So thanks for having a little bit of time for us today. 590 00:31:38,710 --> 00:31:40,369 Thank you for the update. 591 00:31:40,369 --> 00:31:42,869 And I'm sure they could call you if they have any questions. 592 00:31:42,869 --> 00:31:43,750 I'll let them reach us. 593 00:31:43,750 --> 00:31:44,250 Yeah.

point in Camp Casino and Roaring Brook? 602 00:31:55,410 --> 00:31:58,410 No, we need that at the end of the day. 603 00:31:58,410 --> 00:31:59,410 I'm Cardinal Brook. 604 00:31:59,410 -->

00:32:39,839 --> 00:32:43,500 On May 3rd, the first Saturday in May, 639 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,299 is Green Up Day, which is a statewide program. 640 00:32:46,819 --> 00:32:48,660 It's from 8.30

00:32:56,400 or someone else's. 644 00:32:57,019 --> 00:33:03,539 And then on May 10th is our second annual Resiliency Fair. 645 00:33:03,539 --> 00:33:08,319 It's here in the auditorium from 10 till 2. 646 00:33:08,980 --> 00:33:13,420 A number of speakers on resiliency efforts and ideas, 647 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:18,900 as well as folks who are local vendors 648 00:33:18,900 --> 00:33:21,500 of locally produced goods. 649 00:33:21,900 --> 00:33:25,099 Plus, we're going to have a community lunch and a band. 650 00:33:27,109 --> 00:33:29,710 Is the band going to be there all day playing? 651 00:33:30,069 --> 00:33:32,109 Probably starting at lunch. 652 00:33:32,109 --> 00:33:33,349 We'll probably be around. 653 00:33:33,569 --> 00:33:36,630 And it's Dan Hawkins' band. 654 00:33:37,829 --> 00:33:38,970 They're really good. 655 00:33:39,650 --> 00:33:40,450 Maybe we'll dance. 656 00:33:41,829 --> 00:33:42,369 I did. 657 00:33:42,710 --> 00:33:43,369 Every girl. 658 00:33:44,029 --> 00:33:44,190 Yeah. 659 00:33:46,519 --> 00:33:47,799 Yes, they're amazing. 660 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,119 Thank you. 661 00:33:49,380 --> 00:33:50,559 Any other visitors? 662 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:50,980 Dave? 663 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,039 It looks like we have a discussion 664 00:33:54,039 --> 00:34:00,430 on the Planning Commission bylaw change or not. 665 00:34:02,009 --> 00:34:03,549 We're going to get to that. 666 00:34:03,549 --> 00:34:05,490 Okay, so I'll say that. 667 00:34:05,650 --> 00:34:10,280 For them, I received a call from somebody asking me 668 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,380 about what's going on in the center of town. 669 00:34:13,380 --> 00:34:16,139 And if a permit has been put in place 670 00:34:16,139 --> 00:34:17,699 for the renovation of the church. 671 00:34:18,179 --> 00:34:20,139 I guess something's been knocked down. 672 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,199 I don't really know. 673 00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:22,639 So I should ask the AO. 674 00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:26,860 Has anybody filed a permit? 675 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,480 To knock down a slab? 676 00:34:29,219 --> 00:34:30,940 Or knock down a slab? 677 00:34:30,940 --> 00:34:32,440 They've touched stuff in the church. 678 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,679 They've ripped off the front. 679 00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:35,159 They've knocked down. 680 00:34:35,159 --> 00:34:35,619 Dave, we don't have a permit. 681 00:34:35,619 --> 00:34:35,920 Dave, we don't have a permit. 682 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:36,019 Dave, we don't have a permit. 683 00:34:36,019 --> 00:34:36,079 Dave, we don't have a permit. 684 00:34:36,099 --> 00:34:38,239 We don't have anything for inside. 685 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:38,860 It doesn't matter. 686 00:34:38,860 --> 00:34:40,039 We don't have permits for inside. 687 00:34:40,039 --> 00:34:41,840 No. 688 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:47,050 Any demolition to a building, inside or outside, 689 00:34:47,050 --> 00:34:48,429 needs a permit because? 690 00:34:48,429 --> 00:34:49,329 Not for demolition. 691 00:34:49,329 --> 00:34:51,050 Not for inside, Dave. 692 00:34:51,050 --> 00:34:56,110 Well, let me tell you where I'm sorry. 693 00:34:56,110 --> 00:34:57,789 I've gone through this before. 694 00:34:57,789 --> 00:34:58,989 Not for inside. 695 00:34:58,989 --> 00:35:03,989 The church on that side was . 696 00:35:03,989 --> 00:35:06,530 Because of lead and asbestos, anything 697 00:35:06,530 --> 00:35:10,630 before 1978 where you start to do renovation, 698 00:35:10,630 --> 00:35:13,329 especially on commercial property or a church, 699 00:35:13,329 --> 00:35:15,809 it needs a permit from the state of Vermont. 700 00:35:15,809 --> 00:35:18,449 So if there's lead and they've knocked anything 701 00:35:18,449 --> 00:35:21,349 on the outside with lead, it could contaminate the air, 702 00:35:21,349 --> 00:35:23,369 the children at the school. 703 00:35:23,369 --> 00:35:25,570 The state requires a permit. 704 00:35:25,570 --> 00:35:27,869 And now I know we've knocked down houses in this town 705 00:35:27,869 --> 00:35:31,809 before without it, but we should have had a permit. 706 00:35:31,809 --> 00:35:34,179 It was illegal. 707 00:35:34,179 --> 00:35:36,719 And I have the information here. 708 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:37,539 You can call me. 709 00:35:37,539 --> 00:35:44,360 Call these people if you want at the state, and I'm just saying. 710 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,380 Are we sure they didn't get a permit from the state? 711 00:35:48,380 --> 00:35:51,139 The AO should have been informed first. 712 00:35:51,139 --> 00:35:52,900 Yeah, maybe. 713 00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:53,780 I didn't need it. 714 00:35:53,780 --> 00:35:56,900 I mean, you are our main, right. 715 00:35:56,900 --> 00:35:58,260 You are our main contact. 716 00:35:58,260 --> 00:36:00,980 A building or a garage. 717 00:36:00,980 --> 00:36:02,260 Was it a garage? 718 00:36:02,260 --> 00:36:03,139 OK. 719 00:36:03,139 --> 00:36:05,039 Sure, it wasn't insulated. 720 00:36:05,039 --> 00:36:06,000 Yeah. 721 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,340 And it kind of leaked a lot. 722 00:36:08,340 --> 00:36:11,099 Well, it's just that if we don't take 723 00:36:11,099 --> 00:36:13,659 hold of this and people just start knocking and burning stuff 724 00:36:13,659 --> 00:36:16,159 and come on. 725 00:36:16,159 --> 00:36:18,619 Do we have in our zoning bylaws anything 726 00:36:18,619 --> 00:36:21,219 that says demolition or removing? 727 00:36:21,219 --> 00:36:22,099 It's a state permit. 728 00:36:22,099 --> 00:36:23,260 It's a state permit. 729 00:36:23,260 --> 00:36:25,420 It's not a . 730 00:36:25,420 --> 00:36:33,920 But the AO generally would say, hey, you're in violation. 731 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,579 But it looks like I left it at home. 732 00:36:37,579 --> 00:36:41,980 I do have the permit. 733 00:36:41,980 --> 00:36:43,340 Oh, here it is. 734 00:36:43,340 --> 00:36:44,300 Here you go. 735 00:36:48,050 --> 00:36:50,170 I'm going to create a habit for anybody, for anyone. 736 00:36:50,170 --> 00:36:54,530 You get the calls, and if you don't do anything, everybody's out. 737 00:36:54,530 --> 00:36:59,969 Here's what's required for any renovation or demolition 738 00:36:59,969 --> 00:37:07,980 of any building before 1970 will come and say, look. 739 00:37:07,980 --> 00:37:13,579 So I'm hoping it's whoever is doing the demolition. 740 00:37:13,579 --> 00:37:14,780 The contractors. 741 00:37:14,780 --> 00:37:17,659 Yeah, the town is the first line of defense 742 00:37:17,659 --> 00:37:19,420 because we're the ones raising the pollutants. 743 00:37:19,420 --> 00:37:19,780 Yeah. 744 00:37:19,780 --> 00:37:21,539 We're the ones raising the pollutants of asbestos and lead 745 00:37:21,539 --> 00:37:22,380 going into the air. 746 00:37:22,380 --> 00:37:25,420 Well, then we should talk about the middle one as well. 747 00:37:25,420 --> 00:37:27,409 What about it? 748 00:37:27,409 --> 00:37:30,489 That burned and it's just infested with everything. 749 00:37:30,489 --> 00:37:32,659 You know, same thing. 750 00:37:32,659 --> 00:37:33,980 It's not knocked down no more. 751 00:37:33,980 --> 00:37:35,699 No. 752 00:37:35,699 --> 00:37:37,340 OK, well. 753 00:37:37,340 --> 00:37:40,119 This is any time demolition takes place. 754 00:37:40,119 --> 00:37:41,260 You have to have a state permit. 755 00:37:41,260 --> 00:37:44,940 Hopefully the contractor is following the asbestos 756 00:37:44,940 --> 00:37:46,619 if there is some there. 757 00:37:46,619 --> 00:37:50,980 Lead paint, if there is some there, we don't know. 758 00:37:50,980 --> 00:37:51,619 They just say it. 759 00:37:51,619 --> 00:37:52,659 It doesn't matter. 760 00:37:52,659 --> 00:37:56,860 You have to bring down the Vermont asbestos. 761 00:37:56,860 --> 00:37:58,300 It's not our responsibility. 762 00:37:58,300 --> 00:38:01,679 It's the contractor or the owner. 763 00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:03,599 And we have no right to enforce this. 764 00:38:03,599 --> 00:38:04,480 We do have a right. 765 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,559 The town, it is the town's responsibility. 766 00:38:06,559 --> 00:38:11,039 I believe there was an inspection report, 75 page 767 00:38:11,039 --> 00:38:17,599 inspection report that the owners probably have now. 768 00:38:17,599 --> 00:38:19,719 The town had it. 769 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,800 And I'm sure the owner's got a copy of it. 770 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,210 Yeah. 771 00:38:23,210 --> 00:38:24,250 Just like the sign. 772 00:38:24,250 --> 00:38:27,010 I mean, the state rules. 773 00:38:27,010 --> 00:38:31,260 It's great that we have bylaws in this town. 774 00:38:31,260 --> 00:38:32,460 You can't override the state. 775 00:38:32,460 --> 00:38:34,539 And the state says. 776 00:38:34,539 --> 00:38:36,539 And I don't know how to be fine for this. 777 00:38:36,539 --> 00:38:37,780 I mean, I can dig a little bit. 778 00:38:37,780 --> 00:38:40,420 If you want to put this to bed right now, I'll check into it. 779 00:38:40,420 --> 00:38:42,179 Thank you. 780 00:38:42,179 --> 00:38:45,820 Well, call Stephanie first and find out 781 00:38:45,820 --> 00:38:47,260 who her contractor is. 782 00:38:47,260 --> 00:38:49,230 Yeah. 783 00:38:49,230 --> 00:38:51,599 Thank you. 784 00:38:51,599

788 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,440 We signed all the orders. 789 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,519 But I have motions to accept the minutes of March 27 790 00:39:07,519 --> 00:39:09,769 and April 3. 791 00:39:09,769 --> 00:39:11,369 I think we were all here. 792 00:39:11,369 --> 00:39:12,769 I was not here with the 27th. 793 00:39:12,769 --> 00:39:18,340 I'll motion for the third. 794 00:39:18,340

for the third. 799 00:39:27,030 --> 00:39:28,750 Motion for the second. 800 00:39:28,750 --> 00:39:29,590 All in favor? 801 00:39:29,590 --> 00:39:30,150 Yes. 802 00:39:30,150 --> 00:39:31,730 Aye. 803 00:39:31,730 --> 00:39:32,329 Thank you. 804 00:39:32,489 --> 00:39:32,989 Thank you. 805 00:39:32,989 --> 00:39:33,519 Thank you. 806 00:39:33,519 --> 00:39:34,019 Thank you. 807 00:39:34,019 --> 00:39:34,519 $30. 808 00:39:34,519 --> 00:39:35,019 $30. 809 00:39:35,019 --> 00:39:35,940 $30. 810 00:39:35,940 --> 00:39:36,440 $30. 811 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:36,940 $30. 812 00:39:36,940 --> 00:39:38,440 Day-grown conditions? 813 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,940 We started our spring road grading this week. 814 00:39:40,940 --> 00:39:44,940 Hopefully the snow is not going to happen anymore. 815 00:39:44,940 --> 00:39:47,440 Dealing with that, I guess, in the last couple weeks, too. 816 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:52,269 So we've done, on Monday we did some. 817 00:39:52,269 --> 00:39:53,769 We did some there. 818 00:39:53,769 --> 00:39:55,769 Today we've got Jackson Road. 819 00:39:55,769 --> 00:39:59,019 So I'm going to continue over on that side of town. 820 00:39:59,019 --> 00:40:03,019 And then we'll probably move to the Mill County Road section. 821 00:40:03,019 --> 00:40:04,699 And we'll see. 822 00:40:04,699 --> 00:40:06,199 And then we'll head north. 823 00:40:06,199 --> 00:40:08,199 And then finish up with a class four. 824 00:40:08,199 --> 00:40:11,199 But I mean, it takes weeks for us to get that done. 825 00:40:11,199 --> 00:40:15,199 And the one that's not cooperating for that will be doing some ditching on East Road. 826 00:40:15,199 --> 00:40:21,820 Trying to prep that road for the Chipsione project this summer. 827 00:40:21,820 --> 00:40:24,900 That's what we'll be doing. 828 00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:26,900 All our equipment's in service now. 829 00:40:26,900 --> 00:40:30,710 So we just got our ram back today. 830 00:40:30,710 --> 00:40:32,400 How much? 831 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,719 $7,200. 832 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,219 And that's the one you're thinking of trading next year? 833 00:40:37,219 --> 00:40:37,719 Yeah. 834 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,719 Well, it takes two years now to get a truck. 835 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,719 And that one's already five years old. 836 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:48,360 And it's starting to get to the point where the reliability factor. 837 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,360 And then, you know, it's not going to be worth anything. 838 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,059 It's going to be paid this June, right? 839 00:40:56,059 --> 00:40:57,059 I believe so. 840 00:40:57,059 --> 00:40:59,559 So maybe we should start looking into it. 841 00:40:59,559 --> 00:41:01,840 So wait until next year. 842 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,840 Just start looking into it now. 843 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:04,340 Yeah. 844 00:41:04,340 --> 00:41:06,840 I mean, I'll have prices for, you know, March. 845 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:07,840 Until the town can approve it. 846 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,039 Until the town can approve that. 847 00:41:10,039 --> 00:41:11,039 Okay. 848 00:41:11,039 --> 00:41:14,130 I guess that's our next step. 849 00:41:14,130 --> 00:41:17,130 I also am going to be working on it this fall. 850 00:41:17,130 --> 00:41:24,260 Coming up with a project for the Chipsione for the every five-year project that we do. 851 00:41:24,260 --> 00:41:30,260 And get prices on maybe paving some of the other, you know, higher maintenance sections of the road. 852 00:41:30,260 --> 00:41:33,579 And I believe it's time. 853 00:41:33,579 --> 00:41:40,090 It's time we needed to reconsider some of that. 854 00:41:40,090 --> 00:41:43,480 Any questions for me? 855 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:44,480 Recycling? 856 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,460 I don't know. 857 00:41:47,460 --> 00:41:50,519 I think our summer hours start here pretty quick. 858 00:41:50,519 --> 00:41:52,519 We're open on Wednesday. 859 00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:53,519 Oh, yeah. 860 00:41:53,519 --> 00:41:54,519 That's Wednesday, right? 861 00:41:54,519 --> 00:41:55,519 Yeah. 862 00:41:55,519 --> 00:41:56,559 Yay. 863 00:41:56,559 --> 00:42:01,070 Look at the snow. 864 00:42:01,070 --> 00:42:03,070 I have a couple of things on recycling. 865 00:42:03,070 --> 00:42:06,070 I attended the alliance meeting yesterday. 866 00:42:06,070 --> 00:42:15,519 They talked about the SWPPP plan that two representatives from VCRC are willing to come down, talk to us about the SWPPP plan. 867 00:42:15,519 --> 00:42:22,519 That we are required to update every five years. 868 00:42:22,519 --> 00:42:29,159 And we have to submit that to the state by the end of June. 869 00:42:29,159 --> 00:42:38,019 And the household hazardous waste facility in Bennington will be open on May 19th. 870 00:42:38,019 --> 00:42:45,019 You go on to the VCR website and you can pick a date and time that you would like to visit. 871 00:42:45,019 --> 00:42:46,019 Okay. 872 00:42:46,019 --> 00:42:54,230 And we would like to bring your household hazardous materials to Bennington. 873 00:42:54,230 --> 00:42:56,230 And that's all I have. 874 00:42:56,230 --> 00:43:02,449 Unless somebody from the board would like to be the town rep to the alliance. 875 00:43:02,449 --> 00:43:04,449 Kurt, don't look away. 876 00:43:04,449 --> 00:43:06,449 Maybe we should nominate Mike. 877 00:43:06,449 --> 00:43:07,449 He's not here. 878 00:43:07,449 --> 00:43:09,449 There you go. 879 00:43:09,449 --> 00:43:11,449 That's the way. 880 00:43:11,449 --> 00:43:12,449 Think about it. 881 00:43:12,449 --> 00:43:13,449 It's only online. 882 00:43:13,449 --> 00:43:16,449 It's only one hour every three months. 883 00:43:16,449 --> 00:43:17,929 So. 884 00:43:17,929 --> 00:43:19,929 And hire VCRC to do all the leg work. 885 00:43:19,929 --> 00:43:30,239 Because there's no way we could do a 75 page SWPPP plan that the state requires. 886 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:31,239 Dave. 887 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,239 If I could just go back to road conditions really quick. 888 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,239 I've also been working with Jim Henderson a little bit. 889 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,269 He's going to come down next Tuesday. 890 00:43:40,269 --> 00:43:45,750 And we're going to come up with our project for the grant aid. 891 00:43:45,750 --> 00:43:50,000 And I've talked to him some about the Suzanne Drive intersection. 892 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:56,360 For some reason he's not too thrilled about that for that grant. 893 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,360 But he said possibly a better back roads grant. 894 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:04,929 But he's also talking about working on Sportsman's Road. 895 00:44:04,929 --> 00:44:12,719 There's some undersized culverts as far as the hydronically connected road segments go. 896 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,039 So we may end up doing that. 897 00:44:16,039 --> 00:44:18,199 We may end up up there anyways. 898 00:44:18,199 --> 00:44:23,099 I did get a price for 50 feet of the culvert we will need for that. 899 00:44:23,099 --> 00:44:26,099 For the Suzanne Drive intersection. 900 00:44:26,099 --> 00:44:29,099 And the price of the culvert is $5,500. 901 00:44:29,099 --> 00:44:31,099 Just the culvert. 902 00:44:31,099 --> 00:44:33,099 They suggested a concrete head wall. 903 00:44:33,099 --> 00:44:35,099 They haven't got a price on that yet. 904 00:44:35,099 --> 00:44:43,900 But so I am trying to make some progress there. 905 00:44:43,900 --> 00:44:48,929 Thank you. 906 00:44:48,929 --> 00:44:49,929 But it's on a local level. 907 00:44:49,929 --> 00:44:51,480 That's why. 908 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:52,480 Okay. 909 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,179 Discussion. 910 00:44:54,179 --> 00:44:56,179 Proposed by law public hearing. 911 00:44:56,179 --> 00:44:58,179 You've got a hand up over here. 912 00:44:58,179 --> 00:44:59,179 Oh. 913 00:44:59,179 --> 00:45:00,179 You're hiding. 914 00:45:00,179 --> 00:45:01,179 I am. 915 00:45:01,179 --> 00:45:02,179 Could you. 916 00:45:02,179 --> 00:45:10,519 Find out what we want to do about . 917 00:45:10,519 --> 00:45:13,519 There's rocks sticking up like that in the middle of the road. 918 00:45:13,519 --> 00:45:14,519 Gravel. 919 00:45:14,519 --> 00:45:15,519 Gravel. 920 00:45:15,519 --> 00:45:18,519 So I don't know . 921 00:45:18,519 --> 00:45:23,269 Culvert. 922 00:45:23,269 --> 00:45:26,269 The metal culvert is sticking up. 923 00:45:26,269 --> 00:45:29,289 Half way over there. 924 00:45:29,289 --> 00:45:30,360 I don't know. 925 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:31,360 I don't know. 926 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,309 There's a lot of metal products there. 927 00:45:35,309 --> 00:45:36,309 Yeah. 928 00:45:36,309 --> 00:45:38,309 I mean I went up there the other day. 929 00:45:38,309 --> 00:45:39,309 I mean it was a classic. 930 00:45:39,309 --> 00:45:40,309 I mean it was a class four road. 931 00:45:40,309 --> 00:45:41,309 Yeah. 932 00:45:41,309 --> 00:45:42,309 So the priority level isn't as high. 933 00:45:42,309 --> 00:45:43,309 I'm not going to disagree with you. 934 00:45:43,309 --> 00:45:44,309 We use gravel in most of our class four roads. 935 00:45:44,309 --> 00:45:45,340 Definitely need gravel. 936 00:45:45,340 --> 00:45:46,340 I think when I grade it here this spring it will improve. 937 00:45:46,340 --> 00:45:47,340 But you know. 938 00:45:47,340 --> 00:45:48,340 Like I said it's a class four road. 939 00:45:48,340 --> 00:45:49,340 And most of our budget is just. 940 00:45:49,340 --> 00:45:50,340 Mud season just takes it all. 941 00:45:50,340 --> 00:45:51,340 So. 942 00:45:51,340 --> 00:45:52,530 Oh. 943 00:45:52,530 --> 00:45:53,530 Can we go check it out? 944 00:45:53,530 -->

00:46:38,199 I heard somebody talking about doing work on fights on walls, roles, and the thing 975 00:46:38,199 --> 00:46:44,460 that I'm confused about is that all models of private marks in the kinds of Use a transportation 976 00:46:44,460 --> 00:46:46,119 system shouldn't be involved in any of that. 977 00:46:46,119 --> 00:46:47,119 Yeah. 978 00:46:47,119 --> 00:46:53,920 work on the town's not going to work on alcohol's roads there's a culver at the intersection which 979 00:46:53,920 --> 00:47:00,800 is a town culver between the crosses okay and the water runs along suzanne drive and 980 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:07,519 the cover hasn't failed but in flooding events the water overtops the road and it runs down and 981 00:47:07,519 --> 00:47:15,300 causes the residents i noticed looking back in the town stuff that the town was plowing john 982 00:47:15,300 --> 00:47:21,860 peter had a list of the times to be plowed off the wall and of course that was before 25 years

of them i said why is he plowing these roads 985 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:38,320 well we don't do that anymore if he did but no no i'm just saying i was confused you know 986 00:47:40,159 --> 00:47:45,360 trying to solve stuff no town work being we're not no no i'm not saying that 987 00:47:45,519 --> 00:47:51,380 you know i was just wondering when i heard the discussion that said that's a private you know 988 00:47:51,380 --> 00:47:57,969 that's one thing we were never going to take on is the roads at all along yeah that's private roads 989 00:47:57,969 --> 00:48:04,449 are definitely becoming more and more of an issue and oh yeah we got plenty of miracles at some point 990 00:48:04,449 --> 00:48:12,840 i think you know you'll see the state get involved more and more of that i agree i agree okay uh 991 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:17,139 moving on proposed bylaw public hearing so um 992 00:48:17,380 --> 00:48:24,579 the planning commission presented us with the proposed bylaws uh most of the all of the changes 993 00:48:24,579 --> 00:48:33,800 were for the sign uh we all had the opportunity to read over those sections so if there was any 994 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:41,730 updates to the sign section or anything you wanted to talk to the planning commission about if 995 00:48:41,730 --> 00:48:47,969 we have any changes that we would send it back to the planning commission or go ahead and 996 00:48:48,050 --> 00:49:01,199 set a public hearing for the bylaws nothing else okay okay i think they are very detailed hopefully 997 00:49:01,199 --> 00:49:07,440 we covered everything on the sign so that we will set a date for the public hearing 998 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:14,559 i have emailed some information to you that i received from the state yep 999 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,039 i don't know if you had the time to read it 1000 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:19,519 isolated 1001 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:28,269 reasons that we can't put a sign out there. I just want to make it clear, I have nothing 1002 00:49:28,269 --> 00:49:32,570 in this either way. I don't care if there's a billboard put out there, but what I do care 1003 00:49:32,570 --> 00:49:38,730 about is us going through the process of changing the bylaws only to have it rescinded by the 1004 00:49:38,730 --> 00:49:46,769 state. I did get in contact with John Kessler, who heads up the travel council. He's a lawyer 1005 00:49:46,769 --> 00:49:54,670 and controls all signage on scenic highways. And what he's offered to do is he will get 1006 00:49:54,670 --> 00:50:00,630 a hold of Ian DeGadis, who's the head civil engineer for the state of Vermont for the 1007 00:50:00,630 --> 00:50:06,230 scenic highway. He'll get back with us on the information of what we're trying to do 1008 00:50:06,230 --> 00:50:13,880 so that we're making sure we're doing it right. Because there is a conflict. He knows. He 1009 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:15,539 says, signs out for him. 1010 00:50:15,539 --> 00:50:20,239 If he can have it for our public hearing, it would be great. 1011 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:27,039 Yeah. Oh, I've got it so he'll get in contact with me, but to you. So once that's done and 1012 00:50:27,039 --> 00:50:32,139 we have the state sign off on this, we're good to go. So whatever we have and they say 1013 00:50:32,139 --> 00:50:40,119 good, he's already questioning things that I couldn't answer. So I said, I sent them 1014 00:50:40,119 --> 00:50:43,840 the information of what we've done and I just said, could you please check this and make 1015 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,300 sure so we're not going another two years on this. 1016 00:50:47,300 --> 00:50:47,380 Yeah. 1017 00:50:47,380 --> 00:50:51,679 And I sent it to the Planning Commission too. Everybody got it. 1018 00:50:51,679 --> 00:50:59,480 We haven't discussed a date, but we should look at this. Lori, what is the lead time 1019 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:05,730 on this?

1336 01:05:06,599 --> 01:05:07,599 I looked up a couple actually back 1337 01:05:07,599 --> 01:05:09,599 when they were doing the research. 1338 01:05:09,599 --> 01:05:13,820 I did look up I think was Middlebury 1339 01:05:13,820 --> 01:05:16,320 and then there was a small town that only had something 1340 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:17,820 like 300 people. 1341 01:05:17,820 --> 01:05:18,820 Yeah, we've got. 1342 01:05:18,820 --> 01:05:20,820 So I did look through some others. 1343 01:05:20,820 --> 01:05:49,269 use the template from the LCT. Right. I was just reading the name of the town. It was a pretty good-sized town, but they don't even go to the state. Their ordinance says that they have to file a complaint, and the complaint goes to the town manager or the select board, unless it's part of that problem. If that's a problem, then it goes to this other person. 1344 01:05:49,269 --> 01:06:08,389 Okay, here's my feeling on this. We can do, if they give us a template, but we can do pretty much whatever we want. And like the Middlebury thing, for example, a lot of those things didn't apply to us because Middlebury is a lot bigger town. 1345 01:06:09,739 --> 01:06:20,559 And the selectman or the select board has the right to set this up. And I think this is the way, 1346 01:06:20,559 --> 01:06:26,179 what I'm trying to do is cut out as many middlemen and have it straight, understandable, 1347 01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:34,320 comprehensive. So I guess what I'm saying is this, I think, is more appropriate for Stanford. 1348 01:06:35,380 --> 01:06:42,500 And if we get into this, who do we send it to? I think everybody remembers my feelings on this. 1349 01:06:43,099 --> 01:06:50,239 Okay, you know, why eat a dead horse? Make it simple. If we find there's a problem, we can tweak it later on. 1350 01:06:50,719 --> 01:06:55,320 But for right now, let's get it done, keep it simple, and we'll go from there. 1351 01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,400 I agree with you on the timing of that. 1352 01:06:59,820 --> 01:07:01,659 Let's see, what's the other thing? 1353 01:07:03,099 --> 01:07:16,260 Now, I notice here it says designated complaint used to the NRO liaison, along with two others selected by the select board from the ethics investigation pool on a case-by-case basis. 1354 01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:22,130 Now, I'm wondering why we need three people to do that. 1355 01:07:22,250 --> 01:07:28,599 And the other thing is that we're talking from the pool. 1356 01:07:28,599 --> 01:07:35,440 I agree, I think Bill Levine had a great idea of having a pool for people to pick from. 1357 01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:48,590 But I think something I want to emphasize, that pool is to give us some people that have expressed an interest, and that's who we can pick from. 1358 01:07:48,590 --> 01:07:53,699 But I think we have to, what I would like to see, is that number one, 1359 01:07:53,699 --> 01:07:58,280 I don't think the pool should be just for ethics complaints. 1360 01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:04,340 I think we have a pool of people that, you know, if you want to investigate the ethics, 1361 01:08:04,340 --> 01:08:10,130 since we have other investigations come up through that too, not restricted just to this. 1362 01:08:10,130 --> 01:08:14,590 And then the other thing, I'm trying to think of the proper wording for it here, 1363 01:08:14,590 --> 01:08:20,180 but the selectmen, ultimately, and I've seen this a lot, 1364 01:08:20,180 --> 01:08:24,800 the selectmen can pick anybody they want at any time to investigate. 1365 01:08:25,239 --> 01:08:33,880 And I don't want there to be any misunderstanding that if for some reason the select board decides to take somebody else, 1366 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:38,180 they're not, somebody come out and say, well, why'd you take it from the pool? 1367 01:08:38,180 --> 01:08:41,640 You're violating your own rules. 1368 01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:47,439 I think I want that to be understood, whether we have to put it in here or not, 1369 01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:54,079 that the select board is not surrendering its right to pick somebody. 1370 01:08:54,079 --> 01:08:56,800 Oh, that we would, you're saying that. 1371 01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,340 That we don't have to take it from the pool. 1372 01:08:59,340 --> 01:09:01,939 Yeah. Realistically, we're going to. 1373 01:09:01,939 --> 01:09:06,659 And realistically, we're going to, these folks going forward said we're interested in doing it. 1374 01:09:06,659 --> 01:09:10,880 But if somebody makes a complaint against Jim, Jack, and Peter, 1375 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:14,109 we're certainly not going to take them to investigate. 1376 01:09:14,109 --> 01:09:15,810 Right.

And so 2102 01:37:53,189 --> 01:37:55,189 Lonington also has a similar 2103 01:37:55,189 --> 01:37:57,409 bylaw 2104 01:37:57,409 --> 01:37:59,409 or ordinance 2105 01:37:59,409 --> 01:38:01,409 and the way they do it is that 2106 01:38:01,409 --> 01:38:03,409 they're not allowed 2107 01:38:03,409 --> 01:38:05,409 if they have a private lot 2108 01:38:05,409 --> 01:38:07,409 that they can park 2109 01:38:07,409 --> 01:38:09,640 on the private lot 2110 01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:11,640 and the owner has to get a permit 2111 01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:14,760 for it. 2112 01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:16,760 Not the food truck or the ice cream truck 2113 01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:18,760 because they're holding 2114 01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:20,760 they're holding 2115 01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:22,760 yes well the food trucks 2116 01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:24,760 can't get a permit unless 2117 01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:26,760 they have a state permit. 2118 01:38:26,760 --> 01:38:28,760 But this is an issue 2119 01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:30,760 that we've always 2120 01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:32,760 talked about and ran into 2121 01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:35,199 and this is an ordinance 2122 01:38:35,199 --> 01:38:37,199 so it doesn't have anything to do with land. 2123 01:38:37,199 --> 01:38:40,640 So 2124 01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:42,640 but it goes through 2125 01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:44,640 it would go through 2126 01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:46,640 an enforcement agent 2127 01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:48,640 in AO or 2128 01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:50,640 you know what I mean 2129 01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:52,640 so you would just have to 2130 01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:54,640 place a fee or 2131 01:38:54,640 --> 01:38:56,640 and you can do temporary 2132 01:38:56,640 --> 01:38:58,640 so if you were to have an event 2133 01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:00,869 here in Stanford like 2134 01:39:00,869 --> 01:39:02,869 a rodeo or 2135 01:39:02,869 --> 01:39:04,869 a rodeo 2136 01:39:04,869 --> 01:39:06,869 concert or anything like that 2137 01:39:06,869 --> 01:39:08,869 and you have all these food trucks 2138 01:39:08,869 --> 01:39:10,869 coming in 2139 01:39:10,869 --> 01:39:12,869 it kind of gives us an opportunity 2140 01:39:12,869 --> 01:39:14,869 to make a little bit of money too. 2141 01:39:14,869 --> 01:39:16,869 So it used to be fair 2142 01:39:16,869 --> 01:39:18,869 fair 2143 01:39:18,869 --> 01:39:20,869 but 2144 01:39:20,869 --> 01:39:22,869 but I got the ordinance 2145 01:39:22,869 --> 01:39:24,869 and I was going to tweak it around 2146 01:39:24,869 --> 01:39:26,869 and kind of play around with it 2147 01:39:26,869 --> 01:39:28,869 and give it to Lori 2148 01:39:28,869 --> 01:39:30,899 and see and 2149 01:39:30,899 --> 01:39:32,899 I wonder would that cover 2150 01:39:32,899 --> 01:39:35,159 it under the board of health? 2151 01:39:35,159 --> 01:39:37,159 Would the board of health give the permits? 2152 01:39:37,159 --> 01:39:39,159 I don't know. 2153 01:39:39,159 --> 01:39:41,159 The food truck probably should have a state permit. 2154 01:39:41,159 --> 01:39:43,159 Yeah. 2155 01:39:43,159 --> 01:39:45,159 So the health officer would be the one 2156 01:39:45,159 --> 01:39:47,279 to be able to enforce 2157 01:39:47,279 --> 01:39:49,279 those kind of laws 2158 01:39:49,279 --> 01:39:51,279 but it's a state 2159 01:39:51,279 --> 01:39:53,319 and we don't enforce 2160 01:39:53,319 --> 01:39:55,319 state laws 2161 01:39:55,319 --> 01:39:57,640 No. 2162 01:39:57,640 --> 01:39:59,640 It would be in charge of 2163 01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:01,640 restaurants or whatever. 2164 01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:03,640 Right. 2165 01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:05,640 I mean this comes with a whole application 2166 01:40:05,640 --> 01:40:07,640 but you said 2167 01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:09,640 This would just be the permit process 2168 01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:11,640 basically from the park 2169 01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:13,640 So for instance 2170 01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:15,640 let's lay it right out there 2171 01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:17,640 Lion Farm wants to 2172 01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:19,640 I guess 2173 01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:21,640 open up the ice cream 2174 01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:23,640 this isn't just word of mouth 2175 01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:25,640 I'm not advertising this at all 2176 01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:27,640 it's what I'm hearing 2177 01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:29,640 and if that is the case 2178 01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:31,640 then Stephanie could get a permit 2179 01:40:31,640 --> 01:40:33,920 to accommodate that. 2180 01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:35,920 Yeah. 2181 01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:37,920 And they have their own state permits 2182 01:40:37,920 --> 01:40:40,210 and they can park anywhere they want 2183 01:40:40,210 --> 01:40:42,210 because we don't have any ordinances 2184 01:40:42,210 --> 01:40:44,210 or any kind of laws that says they can't 2185 01:40:44,210 --> 01:40:46,439 and this is not going to be 2186 01:40:46,439 --> 01:40:48,439 to where they can't do certain things 2187 01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:50,529 but 2188 01:40:50,529 --> 01:40:52,529 Wilmington is a little different as far as 2189 01:40:52,529 --> 01:40:54,529 I don't know 2190 01:40:54,529 --> 01:40:56,529 I mean it's a different set up entirely 2191 01:40:56,529 --> 01:40:58,529 Yeah. 2192 01:40:58,529 --> 01:41:00,529 But they literally have their police 2193 01:41:00,529 --> 01:41:02,529 throw food trucks 2194 01:41:02,529 --> 01:41:04,529 I mean I think we should do everything 2195 01:41:04,529 --> 01:41:06,529 we can do to make these things easier 2196 01:41:06,529 --> 01:41:08,529 for people to do that 2197 01:41:08,529 --> 01:41:10,529 It should be more difficult 2198 01:41:10,529 --> 01:41:12,529 We shouldn't be trying to put up walls 2199 01:41:12,529 --> 01:41:14,529 to stop whatever it is 2200 01:41:14,529 --> 01:41:16,529 But I mean in this process 2201 01:41:16,529 --> 01:41:18,880 it's probably not that reasonable 2202 01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:20,880 Hey, you never know when 2203 01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:22,880 And it's still in control 2204 01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:24,880 It's still registering 2205 01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:26,880 We know it's here 2206 01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:28,880 We're not trying to make more regulations 2207 01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:30,880 We're just trying to protect the homeowner 2208 01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:32,880 that's living next door 2209 01:41:32,880 --> 01:41:34,880 or across the street 2210 01:41:34,880 --> 01:41:36,880 We have control over it 2211 01:41:36,880 --> 01:41:38,880 I think food trucks here 2212 01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:40,880 at a certain time of day or year 2213 01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:42,880 could do quite well 2214 01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:44,880 Yeah 2215 01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:46,880 And so like the Polish guy there 2216 01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:48,880 was doing a 2217 01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:50,880 food truck 2218 01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:52,880 up on County Road or something 2219 01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:56,869 Really? 2220 01:41:56,869 --> 01:41:58,869 That's where he lives 2221 01:41:58,869 --> 01:42:00,869 up there 2222 01:42:00,869 --> 01:42:02,869 He wanted to 2223 01:42:02,869 --> 01:42:04,869 feed the ATE hikers 2224 01:42:04,869 --> 01:42:06,869 Right, the hikers and stuff up there 2225 01:42:06,869 --> 01:42:08,869 He wanted to

all of this 2442 01:49:38,850 --> 01:49:40,850 There's no permit 2443 01:49:40,850 --> 01:49:42,850 We don't have a bylaw 2444 01:49:42,850 --> 01:49:44,850 That says that you need a permit 2445 01:49:44,850 --> 01:49:46,850 To take down a house 2446 01:49:46,850 --> 01:49:48,850 And so he said well if you don't have a bylaw 2447 01:49:48,850 --> 01:49:51,430 There's nothing that you can do about it 2448 01:49:51,430 --> 01:49:53,779 So it's the state's responsibility 2449 01:49:53,779 --> 01:49:55,779 And that's the way 2450 01:49:55,779 --> 01:49:57,779 I read it at that point 2451 01:49:57,779 --> 01:49:59,779 It's the state's responsibility 2452 01:49:59,779 --> 01:50:02,039 I don't know 2453 01:50:02,039 --> 01:50:04,039 That's kind of how I feel 2454 01:50:04,039 --> 01:50:06,039 As a contractor 2455 01:50:06,039 --> 01:50:08,039 But just like building 2456 01:50:08,039 --> 01:50:10,039 There's state rules for 2457 01:50:10,039 --> 01:50:12,039 Buildings 2458 01:50:12,039 --> 01:50:14,039 And we used to have something out there 2459 01:50:14,039 --> 01:50:16,039 If you're building 2460 01:50:16,039 --> 01:50:18,039 The contractor must be registered with the state 2461 01:50:18,039 --> 01:50:20,159 And billed according to the state laws 2462 01:50:20,159 --> 01:50:22,159 I don't know if they do it 2463 01:50:22,159 --> 01:50:24,159 But what if you want to build your own house 2464 01:50:24,159 --> 01:50:26,159 Do you have to follow the state laws 2465 01:50:26,159 --> 01:50:28,159 So if you want to repaint your house 2466 01:50:28,159 --> 01:50:30,159 And scrape the paint off the outside 2467 01:50:30,159 --> 01:50:32,159 I mean yeah 2468 01:50:32,159 --> 01:50:34,159 This is the broader issue 2469 01:50:34,159 --> 01:50:36,159 I mean you could really 2470 01:50:36,159 --> 01:50:38,159 We could open up a major can of worms 2471 01:50:38,159 --> 01:50:40,159 With all this 2472 01:50:40,159 --> 01:50:42,159 I think just let her improve the building 2473 01:50:42,159 --> 01:50:44,159 And let her do what she's doing 2474 01:50:44,159 --> 01:50:46,159 You know I remember when the Burtons 2475 01:50:46,159 --> 01:50:48,159 Were scraping the paint off their house 2476 01:50:48,159 --> 01:50:50,159 That was probably there from 2477 01:50:50,159 --> 01:50:52,159 You can scrape blood paint but you're supposed to have plastic off it 2478 01:50:52,159 --> 01:50:54,159 You're supposed to 2479 01:50:54,159 --> 01:50:56,159 You're supposed to contain it 2480 01:50:56,159 --> 01:50:58,159 I mean this could get really stupid 2481 01:50:58,159 --> 01:51:00,159 If we wanted to 2482 01:51:00,159 --> 01:51:02,159 I mean there's people who work all over the house 2483 01:51:02,159 --> 01:51:04,159 You could create a new bylaw 2484 01:51:04,159 --> 01:51:06,159 Basically saying just that 2485 01:51:06,159 --> 01:51:08,159 You need a permit in order to raise a house 2486 01:51:08,159 --> 01:51:10,159 So I 2487 01:51:10,159 --> 01:51:12,159 I think there should be 2488 01:51:12,159 --> 01:51:14,159 There should be a permit for that 2489 01:51:14,159 --> 01:51:16,159 And the only reason why 2490 01:51:16,159 --> 01:51:18,159 Is because then 2491 01:51:18,159 --> 01:51:20,159 Like when somebody 2492 01:51:20,159 --> 01:51:22,159 When somebody comes through the window 2493 01:51:22,159 --> 01:51:24,390 Of the house 2494 01:51:24,390 --> 01:51:26,390 Laurie hands them a building permit 2495 01:51:26,390 --> 01:51:28,390 Well they can't submit a building permit 2496 01:51:28,390 --> 01:51:30,390 To me or Irving or to Deb 2497 01:51:30,390 --> 01:51:32,390 Now without 2498 01:51:32,390 --> 01:51:34,390 Dirt well and bottled water 2499 01:51:34,390 --> 01:51:36,390 And septic design 2500 01:51:36,390 --> 01:51:38,390 You can't do 2501 01:51:38,390 --> 01:51:40,390 You can't sign or approve a permit without that 2502 01:51:40,390 --> 01:51:42,579 And 2503 01:51:42,579 --> 01:51:44,579 If you were to make them get a permit to raise a house 2504 01:51:44,579 --> 01:51:47,090 Then 2505 01:51:47,090 --> 01:51:49,090 You have some control 2506 01:51:49,090 --> 01:51:51,090 Over hey you need a 2507 01:51:51,090 --> 01:51:53,090 Certificate from 2508 01:51:53,090 --> 01:51:55,090 The contractor or the health officer 2509 01:51:55,090 --> 01:51:57,090 So 2510 01:51:57,090 --> 01:51:59,090 And that protects us 2511 01:51:59,090 --> 01:52:01,090 It protects the neighbor 2512 01:52:01,090 --> 01:52:03,090 What if you want to leave the house up 2513 01:52:03,090 --> 01:52:05,090 But you're just going to 2514 01:52:05,090 --> 01:52:07,090 Gunk the whole entire thing 2515 01:52:07,090 --> 01:52:09,090 All the lead pipes 2516 01:52:09,090 --> 01:52:11,090 It's remodeling 2517 01:52:11,090 --> 01:52:13,220 Well we have Wyatt's house 2518 01:52:13,220 --> 01:52:15,220 You have no control over that 2519 01:52:15,220 --> 01:52:17,220 But if somebody's knocking down a house 2520 01:52:17,220 --> 01:52:19,220 Next to Doug's house 2521 01:52:19,220 --> 01:52:21,220 Like one tree over 2522 01:52:21,220 --> 01:52:23,220 And it's full of lead paint 2523 01:52:23,220 --> 01:52:25,220 And all the dust is blowing towards your house 2524 01:52:25,220 --> 01:52:27,220 I mean that's wrong 2525 01:52:27,220 --> 01:52:29,220 It may trigger somebody to say 2526 01:52:29,220 --> 01:52:31,220 Oh maybe I do need 2527 01:52:31,220 --> 01:52:33,220 To move into this 2528 01:52:33,220 --> 01:52:35,220 So should these people be directed to contact 2529 01:52:35,220 --> 01:52:37,220 The state so the state can enforce 2530 01:52:37,220 --> 01:52:39,220 Their laws or is it the town's 2531 01:52:39,220 --> 01:52:41,220 Responsibility to show them 2532 01:52:41,220 --> 01:52:43,350 They're going to deal with it 2533 01:52:43,350 --> 01:52:45,350 Good question 2534 01:52:45,350 --> 01:52:47,350 I don't think the state would be down here 2535 01:52:47,350 --> 01:52:49,350 If they got a problem someone should call 2536 01:52:49,350 --> 01:52:51,350 Markley if they have a problem 2537 01:52:51,350 --> 01:52:53,350 They should call the board 2538 01:52:53,350 --> 01:52:55,350 Environmental health or whatever it is 2539 01:52:55,350 --> 01:52:57,350 Would this be something maybe the health officer 2540 01:52:57,350 --> 01:52:59,350 Because of the health things 2541 01:52:59,350 --> 01:53:01,350 Yeah and then 2542 01:53:01,350 --> 01:53:03,350 If you see somebody doing something wrong 2543 01:53:03,350 --> 01:53:05,350 Talk to them or whatever they think 2544 01:53:05,350 --> 01:53:07,350 Or call the state and say this is going on 2545 01:53:07,350 --> 01:53:09,350 Did Dave 2546 01:53:09,350 --> 01:53:11,350 Make an issue when Pete Greenbush 2547 01:53:11,350 --> 01:53:13,350 Took down Mr. Reynolds 2548 01:53:13,350 --> 01:53:15,350 He did 2549 01:53:15,350 --> 01:53:17,350 He said there should be a permit 2550 01:53:17,350 --> 01:53:19,350 Or something 2551 01:53:19,350 --> 01:53:21,350 Yeah I guess 2552 01:53:21,350 --> 01:53:23,350 He did say help and he was 2553 01:53:23,350 --> 01:53:25,350 He mentioned something about burning 2554 01:53:25,350 --> 01:53:27,380 But I'm not sure 2555 01:53:27,380 --> 01:53:29,380 I mean he 2556 01:53:29,380 --> 01:53:31,380 I mean he's not wrong 2557 01:53:31,380 --> 01:53:33,380 No he's not wrong about the 2558 01:53:33,380 --> 01:53:35,380 Permit by no means 2559 01:53:35,380 --> 01:53:37,380 I agree 2560 01:53:37,380 --> 01:53:39,380 That there should be a permit 2561 01:53:39,380 --> 01:53:41,380 I think we should have 2562 01:53:41,380 --> 01:53:43,380 A bylaw that says that you have to get a 2563 01:53:43,380 --> 01:53:45,380 Permit 2564 01:53:45,380 --> 01:53:47,380 Should that go into our zoning bylaws 2565 01:53:47,380 --> 01:53:49,600 Yeah 2566 01:53:49,600 --> 01:53:51,600 And that would enable her to say okay 2567 01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:53,600 I can't approve this 2568 01:53:53,600 --> 01:53:55,600 Until I get a certificate from your 2569 01:53:55,600 --> 01:53:57,600 Contractor that there's no 2570 01:53:57,600 --> 01:53:59,600 Lead in asbestos 2571 01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:01,600 Right 2572 01:54:01,600 --> 01:54:03,600 So is there a clause in our bylaws now 2573 01:54:03,600 --> 01:54:05,600 That says something about when you change the 2574 01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:07,600 Footprint of the building 2575 01:54:07,600 --> 01:54:09,600 That you need a permit 2576 01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:11,600 And would that work or 2577 01:54:11,600 --> 01:54:13,600 No 2578 01:54:13,600 --> 01:54:16,500 That's it same footprint anymore 2579 01:54:16,500 --> 01:54:18,500 In that case 2580 01:54:18,500 --> 01:54:20,500 If the house burns down 2581 01:54:20,500 --> 01:54:22,500 Then you are 2582 01:54:22,500 --> 01:54:24,500 Allowed within a year I think 2583 01:54:24,500 --> 01:54:26,500 To rebuild 2584 01:54:26,500 --> 01:54:28,500 I don't think a bylaw said a year ago 2585 01:54:28,500 --> 01:54:30,500 But rebuild into the same 2586 01:54:30,500 --> 01:54:32,500 Footprint 2587 01:54:32,500 --> 01:54:34,500 It does have a timeline 2588 01:54:34,500 --> 01:54:36,500 It might be 2589 01:54:36,500 --> 01:54:38,500 If it burns down you have the ability 2590 01:54:38,500 --> 01:54:40,500 To rebuild in the same footprint 2591 01:54:40,500 --> 01:54:42,500 But if you're going to change the footprint 2592 01:54:42,500 --> 01:54:44,500 You need a permit 2593 01:54:44,500 --> 01:54:46,500 So the footprint you could say 2594 01:54:46,500 --> 01:54:48,500 Has been changed 2595 01:54:48,500 --> 01:54:50,500 I mean it's a difference of a hundred 2596 01:54:50,500 --> 01:54:52,500 Well what's the permit now 2597 01:54:52,500 --> 01:54:54,500 The building permit 2598 01:54:54,500 --> 01:54:56,500 It's a different 2599 01:54:56,500 --> 01:54:58,500 Categories 2600 01:55:02,500 --> 01:55:04,500 But okay so 2601 01:55:04,500 --> 01:55:06,500 The church down there 2602 01:55:06,500 --> 01:55:08,500 They took the garage down 2603 01:55:08,500 --> 01:55:10,500 Looks like they're building on the same footprint 2604 01:55:10,500 --> 01:55:12,500 Are they building a garage 2605 01:55:12,500 --> 01:55:14,500 But we don't know that 2606 01:55:14,500 --> 01:55:16,500 I'll look into that portion of it 2607 01:55:16,500 --> 01:55:18,500 But as far as 2608 01:55:18,500 --> 01:55:20,500 That's kind of 2609 01:55:20,500 --> 01:55:22,500 Past tense at this point 2610 01:55:22,500 --> 01:55:24,600 It's gone 2611 01:55:24,600 --> 01:55:26,600 Is she even going to rebuild 2612 01:55:26,600 --> 01:55:28,600 That little area 2613 01:55:28,600 --> 01:55:30,600 I don't know 2614 01:55:30,600 --> 01:55:32,600 But the other thing is 2615 01:55:32,600 --> 01:55:34,600 Technically is there one side 2616 01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:37,329 Still standing 2617 01:55:37,329 --> 01:55:39,329 Does it say that in a bylaw 2618 01:55:39,329 --> 01:55:41,329 Well we've had 2619 01:55:41,329 --> 01:55:43,329 Houses in town taken down 2620 01:55:43,329 --> 01:55:45,329 But that one side is still standing 2621 01:55:45,329 --> 01:55:47,329 I can't find that 2622 01:55:47,329 --> 01:55:49,329 Anywhere 2623 01:55:49,329 --> 01:55:51,329 It just makes it a renovation 2624 01:55:51,329 --> 01:55:53,329 As opposed to a new structure 2625 01:55:53,329 --> 01:55:55,329 Then you don't need the new structure 2626 01:55:55,329 --> 01:55:57,329 If it burns down 2627 01:55:57,329 --> 01:55:59,329 You're not going to have a side stand 2628 01:55:59,329 --> 01:56:01,329 You don't have people that's going to 2629 01:56:01,329 --> 01:56:03,329 Change space 2630 01:56:03,329 --> 01:56:05,329 There is one side 2631 01:56:05,329 --> 01:56:07,329 It's the building 2632 01:56:07,329 --> 01:56:09,329 There is one side 2633 01:56:09,329 --> 01:56:11,329 There's still one side standing 2634 01:56:11,329 --> 01:56:13,329 We took three sides down 2635 01:56:13,329 --> 01:56:15,460 Where is that building built 2636 01:56:15,460 --> 01:56:17,460 The garage isn't even original 2637 01:56:17,460 --> 01:56:19,460 No that's probably 2638 01:56:19,460 --> 01:56:21,460 When the priest did 2639 01:56:21,460 --> 01:56:23,460 You can see the little addition on the back 2640 01:56:23,460 --> 01:56:25,460 Oh the garage was there 2641 01:56:25,460 --> 01:56:27,460 He built that little addition 2642 01:56:27,460 --> 01:56:29,460 On the back so he could 2643 01:56:29,460 --> 01:56:31,680 Put his car in there 2644 01:56:31,680 --> 01:56:33,680 No in the garage 2645 01:56:33,680 --> 01:56:35,680 So he could fit his car in there 2646 01:56:35,680 --> 01:56:37,680 It was a general store 2647 01:56:37,680 --> 01:56:39,680 What's a pad out back for 2648 01:56:39,680 --> 01:56:41,680 That was the bingo hall 2649 01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:43,680 In the church 2650 01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:45,680 It was a meat locker 2651 01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:47,680 In the back 2652 01:56:47,680 --> 01:56:49,680 Where you could just 2653 01:56:49,680 --> 01:56:51,680 Put your money in 2654 01:56:51,680 --> 01:56:53,680 It was a general store 2655 01:56:53,680 --> 01:56:55,680 So it's a pretty old building 2656 01:56:55,680 --> 01:56:57,680 But the bingo 2657 01:56:57,680 --> 01:56:59,680 Oh there's the other thing 2658 01:56:59,680 --> 01:57:01,680 Bingo hall 2659 01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:03,680 I just took that down 2660 01:57:03,680 --> 01:57:05,680 I could wash the floor in there 2661 01:57:05,680 --> 01:57:07,680 And the water would go right out 2662 01:57:07,680 --> 01:57:09,680 Between the wall and the floor 2663 01:57:09,680 --> 01:57:11,680 Just take a bucket of water 2664 01:57:11,680 --> 01:57:13,720 When did that come down 2665 01:57:13,720 --> 01:57:15,720 Not that long ago 2666 01:57:15,720 --> 01:57:17,720 30 years ago 2667 01:57:17,720 --> 01:57:19,720 It wasn't that long ago 2668 01:57:19,720 --> 01:57:21,720 I think it was 2669 01:57:21,720 --> 01:57:23,720 Was it 30 years ago 2670 01:57:23,720 --> 01:57:25,720 I don't remember 2671 01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:27,779 I think it was 2672 01:57:27,779 --> 01:57:30,229 About then 2673 01:57:30,229 --> 01:57:34,850 I won't say 2674 01:57:34,850 --> 01:57:37,359 So do you want me still to 2675 01:57:37,359 --> 01:57:39,750 I would say 2676 01:57:39,750 --> 01:57:42,359 I would say 2677 01:57:42,359 --> 01:57:44,359 Pass that buck 2678 01:57:44,359 --> 01:57:46,359 I passed the buck 2679 01:57:46,359 --> 01:57:48,359 Or just make a phone call 2680 01:57:48,359 --> 01:57:50,520 Or just help 2681 01:57:50,520 --> 01:57:52,520 Salvation 2682 01:57:52,520 --> 01:57:54,520 It's not gonna be a local 2683 01:57:54,520 --> 01:57:56,520 I mean it's gonna be a state 2684 01:57:56,520 --> 01:57:58,520 That would enforce it 2685 01:57:58,520 --> 01:58:00,520 But the question is 2686 01:58:00,520 --> 01:58:09,000 and i i go back to the wilds and everybody else who has torn down something did we enforce that 2687 01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:16,039 did we make them give us no no so what are we doing why are we sending this to luke now is it 2688 01:58:16,039 --> 01:58:21,239 because because they brought it up they took the garage down they took the garage down it's too 2689 01:58:21,239 --> 01:58:25,880 late well i don't think we need to do anything down there because it's gone done we didn't do 2690 01:58:25,880 --> 01:58:34,050 anything with wild or right but maybe in the future in the future i i think it would we don't 2691 01:58:34,050 --> 01:58:39,090 have to right we don't have anywhere to do anything no we don't have a bylaw we don't have 2692 01:58:39,090 --> 01:58:45,680 anything that that she didn't violate anything maybe maybe her contractor did yeah maybe 2693 01:58:47,199 --> 01:58:55,680 and i mean it's like there's no permit needed no well so once we change our bylaws 2694 01:58:56,479 --> 01:59:02,239 right i really don't want to poke no i think that's not necessary 2695 01:59:04,239 --> 01:59:07,359 but should we do something for the future though yes i think 2696 01:59:10,479 --> 01:59:16,000 to have that in because i'm trying to just a couple of years ago it was something else 2697 01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:21,039 and i can't think of what it is but it had to do with taking you down or something 2698 01:59:22,399 --> 01:59:24,560 well that helps on your own road now 2699 01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:26,399 that's very 2700 01:59:26,479 --> 01:59:35,489 near water so that's not about that carefully is there still an owner paying taxes on that 2701 01:59:36,050 --> 01:59:39,649 well he's in jail he's in jail he's in jail for arson yeah 2702 01:59:41,970 --> 01:59:49,649 really yeah yeah so and the mortgage company is one of these online mortgage companies so this is 2703 01:59:49,649 --> 01:59:56,289 going to be years this blight is going to be there for years so we need a health officer to 2704 01:59:56,289 --> 02:00:03,329 uh call the state yes and creative and just keep adding on and kept it keep adding on to where the 2705 02:00:03,329 --> 02:00:10,069 town now has land suit you know you may end up having to spend a little money to do it but 2706 02:00:10,789 --> 02:00:17,510 it's just we're going to pay for it or i can keep bugging the bank and saying it's your 2707 02:00:17,510 --> 02:00:24,630 responsibility to take this money you can't get anything true forever is more likely to take it 2708 02:00:24,630 --> 02:00:25,510 before anything happens 2709 02:00:28,310 --> 02:00:32,229 yeah i don't think there's anything they have to do in the garage 2710 02:00:33,909 --> 02:00:41,430 that's my opinion and indoor work if we want to remodel we have nothing in our bylaws to stop 2711 02:00:41,989 --> 02:00:46,789 us from remodeling our house and that comes during assessment and you're allowed to go 2712 02:00:46,789 --> 02:00:52,600 if you allow to go into a house who are you going to expect it all what's that she's going to come 2713 02:00:52,600 --> 02:00:56,840 and inspect the house that you're going to go out it's not going to be anyone didn't they didn't they they don't want to go out 2714 02:00:56,840 --> 02:00:58,199 didn't they didn't they say they don't want to go out if they can go in the house they can go in the house if you're going to go out is that what they're going to expect 2715 02:00:58,439 --> 02:01:03,239 need a permit because if we're taking asbestos out of the house the all state stuff the state's not 2716 02:01:03,239 --> 02:01:10,199 going to i mean they're going to come out of stanford every week and say oh yes yeah i don't 2717 02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:15,800 a lot of the sentiments sometimes i think kicks around is this that we just don't want anything 2718 02:01:15,800 --> 02:01:22,039 to improve we don't want any you know stuff to be around that's some of the sentiment i get every 2719 02:01:22,039 --> 02:01:27,319 time something pops up whether it's a bake shop choppy shop ice cream shop there's always this 2720 02:01:27,319 --> 02:01:34,680 sentiment that's just like no it's just like our signs i mean they brought it up to our attention 2721 02:01:34,680 --> 02:01:41,720 that's a violation of our bylaws oh no we didn't have the permit right right we didn't have the 2722 02:01:41,720 --> 02:01:48,930 permit so we took that down and a lot of us we should have just left us left to sign up with 2723 02:01:48,930 --> 02:01:53,890 the statement i'll take it down if you want to take it down there's the sign here it is 2724 02:01:54,689 --> 02:01:57,970 come and get it hang the two plaques there are three plaques on there 2725 02:01:58,050 --> 02:02:02,369 and it's about two years on the sign or more but is it that 2726 02:02:05,989 --> 02:02:10,630 we should have never been able to take it down again we gotta stop trying to put up so many 2727 02:02:10,630 --> 02:02:15,350 robots if somebody wants to run a pizza joint or sell ice cream or have a coffee shop or something 2728 02:02:15,350 --> 02:02:21,029 like that if it's if it's if it's something that's suitable for the town why do we always try to stop 2729 02:02:21,029 --> 02:02:27,430 it i mean everyone in the room likes ice cream yeah yeah if it's but if it's against our bylaws 2730 02:02:27,430 --> 02:02:28,710 then we've got to right 2731 02:02:29,350 --> 02:02:35,350 right yeah there isn't right we should but it's not we have to start looking at the changing the 2732 02:02:35,350 --> 02:02:43,010 bylaws and making ordinances and stuff not to to take it out of somebody's hand it's to help people 2733 02:02:43,010 --> 02:02:49,170 right so that's what we need to do is we need to help each other even if it's making a little bit 2734 02:02:49,170 --> 02:02:53,649 of money and stuff but you know well it's something for the common good right it's a blog 2735 02:02:55,329 --> 02:02:57,970 if aaron and them guys are down there selling ice cream 2736 02:02:59,270 --> 02:03:04,899 to say five or six other ice cream trucks come into town and just park on the side of the road 2737 02:03:04,899 --> 02:03:13,539 it's perfectly legal or they can park they can park there yeah it's perfectly legal for them to 2738 02:03:13,539 --> 02:03:19,939 do it right now under our burden now in life ordinances they have nothing but if they want 2739 02:03:19,939 --> 02:03:26,600 to do it then they're going to have to pay a 150 seasonal fee from so on and so on over a hundred 2740 02:03:27,720 --> 02:03:29,000 out we don't have any 2741 02:03:31,319 --> 02:03:37,640 of them 2742 02:03:47,220 --> 02:03:47,699 of 2743 02:03:57,890 --> 02:04:02,850 a constable i'm not talking about a police officer i'm talking about a real live vermont 2744 02:04:03,010 --> 02:04:06,170 And years ago, that was a police officer. 2745 02:04:06,170 --> 02:04:08,289 But now they have an administrative one 2746 02:04:08,289 --> 02:04:10,609 that serves paperwork. 2747 02:04:10,609 --> 02:04:12,229 In our county, Arizona. 2748 02:04:12,229 --> 02:04:12,729 Right. 2749 02:04:12,729 --> 02:04:16,630 And so a constable is nothing more than a service. 2750 02:04:16,630 --> 02:04:20,250 Like down in Massachusetts, they have a service warrant. 2751 02:04:20,250 --> 02:04:26,489 Not service warrants, but notices, court appearances, 2752 02:04:26,489 --> 02:04:28,529 court, all that stuff. 2753 02:04:28,529 --> 02:04:32,010 I even wonder, technically, I mean, I wouldn't want to do it. 2754 02:04:32,010 --> 02:04:36,069 But aren't we authorized to issue, like, well, for example, 2755 02:04:36,069 --> 02:04:40,090 Luke can write up a ticket to somebody. 2756 02:04:40,090 --> 02:04:43,630 Technically, we could write speeding tickets. 2757 02:04:43,630 --> 02:04:47,789 Because speeding tickets are not a. 2758 02:04:47,789 --> 02:04:49,289 We have that warrant for it, though. 2759 02:04:49,289 --> 02:04:52,010 If it's on our road, not on the main road. 2760 02:04:52,010 --> 02:04:52,510 Oh, yeah. 2761 02:04:52,510 --> 02:04:53,010 Yeah. 2762 02:04:53,010 --> 02:04:54,630 I'm just throwing that out there. 2763 02:04:54,630 --> 02:04:56,670 I'm not suggesting we do that. 2764 02:04:56,670 --> 02:04:59,510 I don't want to be the one to go out and start making car stuff. 2765 02:04:59,510 --> 02:05:00,010 No. 2766 02:05:00,010 --> 02:05:00,510 I get it. 2767 02:05:00,510 --> 02:05:01,010 No. 2768 02:05:01,010 --> 02:05:02,010 I'm just saying that. 2769 02:05:02,010 --> 02:05:04,109 The board can appoint. 2770 02:05:04,109 --> 02:05:05,510 I think it's an appointment. 2771 02:05:05,510 --> 02:05:06,649 It doesn't have to be elected. 2772 02:05:06,649 --> 02:05:08,189 But I think it's an appointment. 2773 02:05:08,189 --> 02:05:09,729 You can't appoint a court-elect. 2774 02:05:09,729 --> 02:05:11,829 But a town council. 2775 02:05:11,829 --> 02:05:12,569 To serve people. 2776 02:05:12,569 --> 02:05:14,000 To serve people. 2777 02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:16,600 I think that would be wonderful. 2778 02:05:16,600 --> 02:05:18,560 And that's, you know, they do ordinances. 2779 02:05:18,560 --> 02:05:19,699 They do. 2780 02:05:19,699 --> 02:05:23,239 Once the years, as time progresses here, 2781 02:05:23,239 --> 02:05:26,340 we're going to need to implement more ordinances, too. 2782 02:05:26,340 --> 02:05:28,520 The hard thing is to enforce them. 2783 02:05:28,520 --> 02:05:29,739 Exactly. 2784 02:05:29,739 --> 02:05:31,880 So you have ordinances now that you can't enforce. 2785 02:05:31,880 --> 02:05:32,239 Right. 2786 02:05:32,239 --> 02:05:35,359 I know all of you guys are authorized to do it. 2787 02:05:35,359 --> 02:05:39,199 I know I was authorized at the right site basis for land and stuff. 2788 02:05:39,199
