Lori, I jumped to the ambulance request because I didn't know how long you'd be. 830 00:38:54,699 --> 00:39:14,460 I'm completing a research project in partnership with the Northern Berkshire EMS with the goal of providing recommendations for the organization to protect its fiscal health and long-term sustainability as a provider of emergency medical services to the 13 communities. 831 00:39:15,619 --> 00:39:24,519 So he attached a survey that he'd like to have back by the 15th of August. And the questions are... 832 00:39:25,980 --> 00:39:35,659 Does our community have a master plan, sometimes referred to as a comprehensive plan or community plan? Does he mean like... 833 00:39:35,659 --> 00:39:38,260 A town plan or an emergency action plan? What does he mean? 834 00:39:38,340 --> 00:39:38,880 I don't know. 835 00:39:39,099 --> 00:39:42,300 Sounds like he would refer to like an emergency action plan, no? 836 00:39:42,300 --> 00:39:44,039 But I can question that. 837 00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:47,099 Okay. Unsure. Unsure. 838 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:54,599 Does your community have an up-to-date EMS service zone plan? I don't think so. 839 00:39:59,539 --> 00:40:00,280 Big hook. 840 00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:04,219 The town is a single EMS zone. 841 00:40:04,219 --> 00:40:18,949 Yeah. Okay. Here's the questions. How willing do you believe your community would be to increase taxes to support emergency medical services? Strongly oppose, and then it goes down, or strongly support? 842 00:40:20,070 --> 00:40:20,909 So... 843 00:40:20,909 --> 00:40:22,570 What's that? They're strongly support. 844 00:40:23,050 --> 00:40:28,349 Would we want to increase taxes? Are we neutral on this? Because there are several questions. 845 00:40:29,250 --> 00:40:31,110 What's the two options in the middle? 846 00:40:31,389 --> 00:40:34,150 Oppose, neutral, support, strongly support. 847 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,780 Probably out of love, neutral. 848 00:40:36,780 --> 00:40:37,420 I'd say neutral. 849 00:40:37,420 --> 00:40:38,760 I'd say neutral, yeah. 850 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:39,239 Neutral. 851 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:47,159 How important do you feel your municipality's role in ensuring the community has adequate emergency medical services? 852 00:40:48,300 --> 00:40:51,920 Important?

No municipal assessments. So we're not charged for every time the ambulance comes up here. 858 00:41:14,300 --> 00:41:14,800 Okay. 859 00:41:15,619 --> 00:41:27,420 Should our town be assessed based on population? Most preferred or least preferred? 860 00:41:29,500 --> 00:41:49,949 I think they want to see if the ambulance is still viable in five years to go to Reedsboro. 861 00:41:49,949 --> 00:41:50,210 Go? 862 00:41:50,230 --> 00:41:51,289 Go to Stamford to go. 863 00:41:51,289 --> 00:41:53,010 File over who?

We're just offering this project here. 871 00:42:13,449 --> 00:42:14,769 I don't like that project. 872 00:42:15,030 --> 00:42:20,239 Municipal assessment based on population. I leave it. 873 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:20,960 See if I'm sure how to take it. 874 00:42:21,989 --> 00:42:29,860 Do we want a municipal assessment based on previous year's call volume? 875 00:42:30,940 --> 00:42:31,239 No. 876 00:42:34,469 --> 00:42:37,429 If you have a choice, you would rather have it on population. 877 00:42:38,849 --> 00:42:41,170 Seems to me like this survey is trying to get to the bottom. 878 00:42:42,630 --> 00:42:47,789 Municipal, do we want the municipal assessment based on municipal financial capacity? 879 00:42:48,659 --> 00:42:48,940 No. 880 00:42:53,769 --> 00:42:55,190 I'm good. I hope we get to an A-class. 881 00:42:55,190 --> 00:43:00,050 So I know down south of the border, in a bunch of communities, a few years back, 882 00:43:00,050 --> 00:43:09,139 when there was still a line down there, there was ambulance services trying to get into the community. 883 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:17,920 There was our own people that we had that took over for the police ambulance years ago. 884 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:33,400 So these state-funded ambulance services that are like Worcester and based in big cities, 885 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,920 they were assessing the towns in the municipalities. 886 00:43:39,010 --> 00:43:42,929 They were assessing them a fee for the amount of calls they had. 887 00:43:43,670 --> 00:44:04,570 So not only was there insurance, because a lot of people don't have insurance companies. 888 00:44:04,710 --> 00:44:12,809 Because right now, big cars. 889 00:44:13,630 --> 00:44:17,010 We do, but if you're trying to cut costs, where would you eliminate first? 890 00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:19,750 Do you get a personal solicitation in the mail? 891 00:44:20,739 --> 00:44:21,360 I do, yes. 892 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:21,719 Yes. 893 00:44:22,079 --> 00:44:25,139 Okay, so do I.

I'm from Stanford. 897 00:44:33,210 --> 00:44:33,710 Right. 898 00:44:33,710 --> 00:44:44,840 So should Stanford, as a town, be funding them based on our financial capacity, on call volume, 899 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,840 on a combination of everything? 900 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,840 What you're talking about here is the town paying for it. 901 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:56,489 I'm not comfortable with that survey at all. 902 00:44:58,739 --> 00:45:01,739 Stanford receives medical service. 903 00:45:01,739 --> 00:45:02,739 I understand that. 904 00:45:02,739 --> 00:45:03,539 I understand all that. 905 00:45:03,539 --> 00:45:04,539 But they're putting out a survey. 906 00:45:04,539 --> 00:45:05,539 But we don't want to pay for it. 907 00:45:05,539 --> 00:45:09,539 They're putting out a survey questioning finances. 908 00:45:09,539 --> 00:45:10,539 Yeah. 909 00:45:10,539 --> 00:45:11,539 Do we pay for it now? 910 00:45:11,539 --> 00:45:13,539 It costs money to operate it, and we don't contribute to it. 911 00:45:13,539 --> 00:45:14,539 Do we pay for it now? 912 00:45:14,539 --> 00:45:15,539 We don't contribute to it. 913 00:45:15,539 --> 00:45:16,539 Do we pay for it now? 914 00:45:16,539 --> 00:45:17,579 What's that, Kirk? 915 00:45:17,579 --> 00:45:18,579 Do we pay for it now? 916 00:45:18,579 --> 00:45:19,579 Nothing. 917 00:45:19,579 --> 00:45:20,579 Right. 918 00:45:20,579 --> 00:45:21,579 Individually. 919 00:45:21,579 --> 00:45:22,579 Individually. 920 00:45:22,579 --> 00:45:23,579 But they don't know if that's going to sustain people. 921 00:45:23,579 --> 00:45:24,579 I understand that. 922 00:45:24,579 --> 00:45:30,579 But it seems to me like that survey is trying to make it mandatory that the town pays for services. 923 00:45:30,579 --> 00:45:31,579 That's what it seems like to me. 924 00:45:31,579 --> 00:45:32,579 Not mandatory, but they want to see how much. 925 00:45:32,579 --> 00:45:37,579 Not mandatory, but they want to see how receptive towns are to pay for it. 926 00:45:37,579 --> 00:45:38,579 He's doing it as a study project. 927 00:45:38,579 --> 00:45:39,579 The goal is ultimately to pay for, have towns pay for the service. 928 00:45:39,579 --> 00:45:40,579 That's the ultimate goal, which is going to cost Stanford more money. 929 00:45:40,579 --> 00:45:41,579 I see where you're coming from. 930 00:45:41,579 --> 00:45:42,579 I'm at the same area because if they come to my house and pick me up up there, why should 931 00:45:42,579 --> 00:45:43,579 you guys have to pay for that? 932 00:45:43,579 --> 00:45:44,829 I get that. 933 00:45:44,829 --> 00:45:45,829 But on his point, it's not like you have to pay for it. 934 00:45:45,829 --> 00:45:46,829 I get that. 935 00:45:46,829 --> 00:45:47,829 I get

00:45:56,829 I get that. 945 00:45:56,829 --> 00:45:57,829 I get that. 946 00:45:57,829 --> 00:45:58,829 I get that. 947 00:45:58,829 --> 00:45:59,829 I get that. 948 00:45:59,829 --> 00:46:00,829 I get that. 949 00:46:02,829 --> 00:46:03,829 I get that. 950 00:46:03,829 --> 00:46:04,829 And I get that. 951 00:46:04,829 --> 00:46:05,829 I get that. 952 00:46:05,829 --> 00:46:06,829 I get that. 953 00:46:06,829 --> 00:46:07,829 They need to know, they need to know the volume part of it, so in case they need to 954 00:46:07,829 --> 00:46:13,570 pick up next to a team or something, you know, or another ambulance to run north or further 955 00:46:13,570 --> 00:46:14,849 or whatever else. 956 00:46:14,849 --> 00:46:15,849 I don't know. 957 00:46:15,849 --> 00:46:16,989 They're just trying to. 958 00:46:16,989 --> 00:46:24,579 My coverage, coming to Stanford is not going to cost as much as when they go to 959 00:46:24,579 --> 00:46:25,579 Reedsboro. 960 00:46:25,579 --> 00:46:26,579 Right. 961 00:46:26,579 --> 00:46:30,900 Because their reimbursement is the same from Medicare or whatever they're getting. 962 00:46:30,900 --> 00:46:32,820 Who reimburses our insurance, right? 963 00:46:32,820 --> 00:46:33,820 Right. 964 00:46:33,820 --> 00:46:38,630 They're lucky they get reimbursement from Medicare. 965 00:46:38,630 --> 00:46:41,909 Or your personal insurance if you don't have Medicare. 966 00:46:41,909 --> 00:46:46,510 So if they're going to pay- Or there's no charge if you contributed during the year. 967 00:46:46,510 --> 00:46:47,409 Right. 968 00:46:47,409 --> 00:46:50,070 Just our insurance, that's all they take is the insurance. 969 00:46:50,070 --> 00:46:55,750 No, if you contributed, say, $50 for the year, they do not charge anybody at all. 970 00:46:55,750 --> 00:46:57,730 They don't bill our insurance? 971 00:46:57,730 --> 00:47:02,670 Not if you contribute money as a supporter of the service. 972 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,599 That's that thing you get in the mail. 973 00:47:06,599 --> 00:47:07,900 If you're a member. 974 00:47:07,900 --> 00:47:10,280 Yeah, if you're a member. 975 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:23,429 I think they shouldn't. 976 00:47:23,429 --> 00:47:29,800 Well, they're also basically supported to some extent by the state of 977 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:36,469 Massachusetts and by Berkshire County. 978 00:47:36,469 --> 00:47:40,030 And you really have to go and see, look into their finances and 979 00:47:40,030 --> 00:47:44,199 see where their money is coming from. 980 00:47:44,199 --> 00:47:46,940 So do you feel bored? 981 00:47:46,940 --> 00:47:50,880 Do you feel we shouldn't fill this out, or what do you think? 982 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,039 I mean, I don't want to fill it out. 983 00:47:53,039 --> 00:47:55,239 I'm kind of skeptical. 984 00:47:55,239 --> 00:48:01,320 Okay, because there's only three of us who can do it. 985 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:02,599 Based on what I have to say. 986 00:48:02,599 --> 00:48:07,320 I just had a couple of questions, maybe it's just me, but I just don't understand. 987 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,449 It could be interpreted a couple of different ways. 988 00:48:10,449 --> 00:48:13,610 Yeah, I just thought it was funny. 989 00:48:13,610 --> 00:48:16,409 All right, because we're not going to agree on this, and 990 00:48:16,409 --> 00:48:22,559 we need all three to agree to pass it tonight. 991 00:48:22,559 --> 00:48:27,309 Okay, moving on then. 992 00:48:28,449 --> 00:48:30,809 Lori, we'll go back to you. 993 00:48:30,809 --> 00:48:33,619 Barb Barlow, we're all set with that. 994 00:48:33,619 --> 00:48:40,000 Yes, you were asked to send a letter to Dave Saldo asking where he stood. 995 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:40,800 Yep. 996 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:46,760 I received a response from him saying he has decided to leave the planning 997 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:51,840 commission as his presence appears to have no value from the new board members 998 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,139 that are in place. 999 00:48:53,139 --> 00:48:59,329 He humbly asked the board to allow him to continue on the conservation commission and 1000 00:48:59,329 --> 00:49:02,429 the VA until his terms expire. 1001 00:49:02,429 --> 00:49:06,449 He feels his interaction with both of those boards remains positive, and 1002 00:49:06,449 --> 00:49:09,710 allows him to freely contribute without fear of reprisal for 1003 00:49:09,710 --> 00:49:18,219 trying to participate as a positive member of the community. 1004 00:49:18,219 --> 00:49:22,760 Okay, so he is leaving planning commission. 1005 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:37,719 We appointed the alternate last week for Stephanie Shelburne. 1006 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:44,949 I don't know. 1007 00:49:44,949 --> 00:49:46,869 I think it was. 1008 00:49:46,869 --> 00:49:47,670 I think it was. 1009 00:49:47,670 --> 00:49:48,869 Presentation. 1010 00:49:48,869 --> 00:49:49,869 Presentation. 1011 00:49:49,869 --> 00:49:50,869 We have to accept his resignation. 1012 00:49:50,869 --> 00:49:51,869 Make a motion to accept the resignation from the planning board. 1013 00:49:51,869 --> 00:49:52,869 Second. 1014 00:49:52,869 --> 00:49:53,869 All in favor? 1015 00:49:53,869 --> 00:49:54,869 Yes. 1016 00:49:54,869 --> 00:49:55,869 All right. 1017 00:49:55,869 --> 00:49:56,869 And Lori, can you send him a letter? 1018 00:49:56,869 --> 00:49:57,869 So you're sending his resignation from the ZVA? 1019 00:49:57,869 --> 00:49:58,869 No. 1020 00:49:58,869 --> 00:49:59,869 He's staying on ZVA and he's staying on conservation. 1021 00:49:59,869 --> 00:50:00,869 Okay. 1022 00:50:00,869 --> 00:50:01,869 I'm just wondering if he resigned at the ZVA meeting, from the ZVA. 1023 00:50:01,869 --> 00:50:02,869 No. 1024 00:50:02,869 --> 00:50:03,869 No. 1025 00:50:03,869 --> 00:50:04,869 He wants to stay on the ZVA. 1026 00:50:04,869 --> 00:50:05,869 No. 1027 00:50:05,869 --> 00:50:06,869 No. 1028 00:50:06,869 --> 00:50:07,869 No. 1029 00:50:07,869 --> 00:50:08,869 No. 1030 00:50:08,869 --> 00:50:09,869 No. 1031 00:50:09,869 --> 00:50:10,869 No. 1032 00:50:10,869 --> 00:50:12,409 No. 1033 00:50:12,409 --> 00:50:13,409 No. 1034 00:50:13,409 --> 00:50:14,409 No. 1035 00:50:14,409 --> 00:50:15,539 No. 1036 00:50:15,539 --> 00:50:16,539 No. 1037 00:50:16,539 --> 00:50:17,539 No. 1038

meeting he resigned, verbally, but 1042 00:50:24,309 --> 00:50:25,469 fine. 1043 00:50:25,469 --> 00:50:26,469 That's good. 1044 00:50:26,469 --> 00:50:28,159 Didn't get out that easy. 1045

00:50:48,960 --> 00:51:01,070 Do we need a motion for that or is here something we can go right into it? 1049 00:51:01,070 --> 00:51:02,070 Sure. 1050 00:51:02,070 --> 00:51:03,070 Motion into the

resigned so lisa 1058 00:51:57,170 --> 00:52:04,500 gardner lisa grimlin resigned i don't think we appointed anybody in her position 1059 00:52:04,500 --> 00:52:16,909 peter greenbush resigned so

just came in 1074 00:54:22,730 --> 00:54:57,210 just tonight do you have old business lori i don't know if we're at a point where we want to 1075 00:54:57,210 --> 00:55:05,070 review the employee policy handbook and talk about it um we met as a group a week or two ago 1076 00:55:05,070 --> 00:55:14,760 and i just went through and added everything that was discussed for people to ponder and 1077 00:55:16,650 --> 00:55:19,769 i don't know if you want to wait for a full board or if you want to talk about it tonight 1078 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:28,559 i would like to review it again uh if we have a well i i'd like to 1079 00:55:29,690 --> 00:55:35,130 this is the book that vermont league of cities and towns puts out compares all the towns or jobs 1080 00:55:35,130 --> 00:55:42,250 salaries um i've gone through part of it and i'd like to discuss it with the board or if we can 1081 00:55:42,250 --> 00:55:50,969 have another work session and see how we are compared to other towns i do have a policy i 1082 00:55:50,969 --> 00:55:58,429 got from reeseboro this was 2023 and i'd like to look at some other town policies see where we fit 1083 00:55:59,789 --> 00:56:06,559 how we compare i have clarksburg if you want to do yeah i'd like to look at clarksburg um any 1084 00:56:06,559 --> 00:56:17,309 other vermont towns it's small that i could think of that yeah oh yeah can we do another 1085 00:56:17,309 --> 00:56:26,599 work session like we did with uh doug myself lori just go through it but first i'd like to 1086 00:56:27,159 --> 00:56:31,480 hand these out and so we can look through these and discuss these before we 1087 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:38,320 have anything um dave you'll get me clark's group yeah i would just like to add that 1088 00:56:39,630 --> 00:56:43,070 i know you're looking at other towns but when you're trying to hire somebody 1089 00:56:43,869 --> 00:56:49,739 it's a skill set you're trying to hire so that's not the be-all end-all because if you're trying 1090 00:56:49,739 --> 00:56:54,940 to hire somebody with a certain skill set they're not necessarily going to work for the town skill 1091 00:56:54,940 --> 00:57:02,760 set so like i said that's that book's not a dln though i don't know exactly who's putting in for 1092 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:03,000 this position but i've i've i've done a lot of research on what's going on and and i've made a lot of progress on that but i'm sure that the books are going to get a 1093 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:03,880 lot of progress on this position but i don't know exactly who's putting me in for this position but i've 1094 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:30,179 I've just been kind of browsing through some of the NDE and Berkshire jobs and stuff just to see what jobs are paying and they're quite a bit higher than they were even five years ago. So I'm not sure how updated that book even is. There is a ton of municipal type jobs available right now in Berkshire County and Auburn. 1095 00:57:30,179 --> 00:57:52,480 If you want to compare reasons, I'd say they're definitely different. Well, they have about four or five men covering now. But even their benefits are... 1096 00:57:52,480 --> 00:58:26,760 Which towns would compare kind of to Stanford for small towns? The planning commissioners always like to say Rupert. That's always a comparison we get. Even so, you're not competing against Rupert. There are some of you trying to get it out. Right. Well, I mean... 1097 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:32,980 You're competing against, like, well, I would say if you're going to say a town in this valley, it'd be... Florida Mountain? Florida Mountain. 1098 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:40,860 Queensborough, Wilmington, you know, Williamstown. Wilmington, maybe not so much because they get the ski income there. 1099 00:58:40,860 --> 00:58:43,960 No, but I mean, if somebody is looking for a job... 1100 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:50,800 Williamstown has a heavy... looking for a heavy equipment operator. Yeah, they've trained their employees to work up there, right? 1101 00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,440 Is this something you're saying? 1102 00:58:53,440 --> 00:59:00,260 Again, though, they're in a ski town, so they get a lot of money coming in from there. But they're a small town, so they make more money up the street. 1103 00:59:00,260 --> 00:59:03,519 You've got to want certain parts of it, you know, that can trade off for salary and all that kind of stuff. 1104 00:59:03,519 --> 00:59:03,539 Yeah. You've got to want certain parts of it, you know, that can trade off for salary and all that kind of stuff. 1105 00:59:03,539 --> 00:59:04,920 Yeah. You've got to want certain parts of it, you know, that can trade off for salary and all that kind of stuff. 1106 00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:06,860 Well, I think the... 1107 00:59:06,860 --> 00:59:11,780 Some people like the other promo for, like, lunch or a sandwich every day. They take a few less bucks to do that. 1108 00:59:11,780 --> 00:59:14,800 You guys are in a state retirement system, too, right? 1109 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:15,500 Yeah. 1110 00:59:15,500 --> 00:59:16,579 Yes. 1111 00:59:16,579 --> 00:59:21,199 So, Massachusetts is not a municipality. It's third and municipality. 1112 00:59:21,199 --> 00:59:22,019 All right. 1113 00:59:22,019 --> 00:59:24,300 Not the higher systems, but not those? 1114 00:59:24,300 --> 00:59:27,320 Well, say, Mass, some of them do. 1115 00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:31,929 Yeah. And my father's in that, my father worked for Clarksburg. 1116 00:59:31,929 --> 00:59:34,010 So can we set up another work center? 1117 00:59:34,010 --> 00:59:42,710 session that would work for you, Doug or Laurie? I'm not sure yet what day's available, but I'm hoping it's the idea. 1118 00:59:42,710 --> 00:59:50,610 We'll talk about it and set something up. Propose a date and then we'll see what we come up with. 1119 00:59:50,610 --> 00:59:57,849 Maybe Mike will be available then, because he was in on the other one too. 1120 00:59:57,849 --> 01:00:10,789 There's a lot of information in here. This is 2024, so it's pretty up-to-date. 1121 01:00:10,789 --> 01:00:15,789 I would say that a lot of those people probably haven't tried to hire. 1122 01:00:15,789 --> 01:00:24,619 I don't know. They don't say.
