executive session with Deb and talk to her about it 147 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,559 sure 148 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:24,340 sure can you stay down okay zoning Board of Adjustment Teddy Doberts up and 149 00:09:24,340 --> 00:09:31,549 Angela Trudeau is an alternate how do we do this last year do we send them a 150 00:09:31,549 --> 00:09:35,149 letter and say they're appointed and if they don't don't want if they don't 151 00:09:35,149 --> 00:09:40,669 accept it that way and sometimes you've asked them first do you want to be 152 00:09:40,669 --> 00:09:45,919 reappointed and waited for a response or sometimes you just appointed them and 153 00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:55,289 said if you're not happy so you told everybody this last year that they had 154 00:09:55,289 --> 00:10:02,639 to send a letter if not then so we sent them a letter say if you want to be 155 00:10:02,639 --> 00:10:09,320 reappointed get in touch with us you did that last year you've done it other 156 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:09,440 ways 157 00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:19,429 right if we're gonna send a letter to every single person on here we have to 158 00:10:19,429 --> 00:10:24,970 send a letter to right if we're gonna someone to you know Deb's the first on 159 00:10:24,970 --> 00:10:31,799 the list and we're gonna send a letter to Deb and see if she wants to redo her 160 00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:38,769 appointment in the meantime I guess this is my concern is this is up tonight and 161 00:10:38,769 --> 00:10:41,370 then 162 00:10:41,370 --> 00:10:46,350 on the minutes someone goes low like there's a lot of things that you can do 163 00:10:46,350 --> 00:10:51,570 better and she says well yeah I guess nobody else wants it and someone sends a 164 00:10:51,570 --> 00:10:57,259 letter and then we got to know what decision to make 165 00:10:57,259 --> 00:11:02,039 what are you saying that leave em all I like the old times we did it where we 166 00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:07,580 just said you're point you're pointed tonight if you don't want it then you 167 00:11:07,580 --> 00:11:11,720 get back to us then we advertise that position because these positions that 168 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:18,039 open or been people have known about this for one year we've said this a billion times at our 169 00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:23,799 meetings if anybody's interested send us a letter now we know we got a letter tonight i understand 170 00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:30,159 that but the rest of these you know i mean teddy's been doing this for a hundred years here 171 00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:35,279 you know we could always go to the alternate too if he doesn't want it yeah so how do you 172 00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:39,620 want to handle it you want to send teddy a letter saying hey we appointed you all these guys yeah 173 00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:50,149 i mean the thing is it just prolongs things and uh unless we hear otherwise you're selected for a 174 00:11:50,149 --> 00:11:54,929 three-year term right yeah if you start hearing hey this guy i mean most people are are respectful 175 00:11:54,929 --> 00:11:59,899 enough to say hey look i don't want to do it anymore here's my letter i mean it could keep 176 00:11:59,899 --> 00:12:04,460 things clean too because people are used to the old school way of doing it and then if they don't 177 00:12:05,340 --> 00:12:08,620 you know they don't come down and say you know i wanted the position in the year 178 00:12:08,620 --> 00:12:09,919 right well 179 00:12:09,980 --> 00:12:16,379 yeah they just assume they were appointed and because they didn't respond they really were 180 00:12:16,379 --> 00:12:20,539 oh i see there was some controversy last year i say just to point them if they don't want it 181 00:12:20,539 --> 00:12:25,980 they can let us know i've been thinking about this we should probably make it so like i mean 182 00:12:25,980 --> 00:12:30,860 everybody knows when your terms are up so you shouldn't try that weeks before right month 183 00:12:30,860 --> 00:12:34,860 before you don't think you don't that it's not your seat if we don't hear it then it's an open 184 00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:39,580 scene right that makes sense too yeah so we're supposed to go somewhere yeah right 185 00:12:40,940 --> 00:12:44,539 but i want to just say something before we appoint any members to the 186 00:12:44,539 --> 00:12:50,779 various boards i'd like to caution that these appointments should not be used for personal agenda 187 00:12:51,740 --> 00:12:58,220 but for the good and future of the town because we do know that there has been in the past 188 00:12:58,220 --> 00:13:03,179 people get on these boards for their own personal agenda and i'd like people to show up at the 189 00:13:03,179 --> 00:13:09,820 meetings not only our meetings but your meetings prepared read their information 190 00:13:09,980 --> 00:13:16,139 because it delays the meeting and try to get enough members there so if somebody in the public 191 00:13:16,139 --> 00:13:25,100 or you're meeting someone like callie you you get you can listen to her um also i want to stress to 192 00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:31,580 all board members we need to be aware of the open meeting law and the conflict of interest policy 193 00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:38,700 because any of these violations will cause great monetary damage and distrust of the town 194 00:13:40,259 --> 00:13:40,519 it's 195 00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:48,720 uh very very serious that open meeting one so you gotta watch out and make sure members of the board 196 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:54,240 i don't know if we can instruct lori to send a letter to all chairmen of the board that 197 00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:03,120 warn your boards that you've got to be aware of this sorry about

mean but it's okay uh septic officer maura hawkins 213 00:15:46,169 --> 00:15:56,679 she deals with uh she could be an intermediary between us and the state too if she has to but a 214 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:05,769 lot of people are still living here yes she's on the voting channel planning commission okay we have 215 00:16:05,769 --> 00:16:11,210 a resignation on the planning commission laurie received a lot we all received a letter and laurie 216 00:16:11,210 --> 00:16:19,610 received a letter from peter greenbush yes i've seen it stating his uh family commitments i 217 00:16:19,610 --> 00:16:27,519 believe that's what he said resigning on the loss who's it and he do you guys have a co-chair and he 218 00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:29,919 nominated aaron vice chair not coming out of the house and he nominated aaron vice chair not coming out of the house 219 00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:37,789 vice chair and dave tatro is the alternate for the planning commission 220 00:16:38,759 --> 00:16:55,019 actually so i just said the planning mission right guy from the top are bennington only if you have 221 00:16:55,019 --> 00:17:07,900 hearings that's just the zba they can have alternates we didn't know that either that 222 00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:44,539 was something i guess so um can i ask a question today vice chairman you i read peter's 223 00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:52,539 letter he had a recommendation you also stand by that recommendation absolutely okay so if you would 224 00:17:52,539 --> 00:18:01,200 like to if you would like to present that recommendation for chair would you guys vote 225 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:08,000 on your chair is this would this be unanimous to you this would not be for the chair it would be 226 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,759 for that i can't ask answer that question so it won't be for chair it would just be for that it 227 00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:17,069 doesn't have to be i think at least i'm definitely going to vote for the chair i'm going to vote for the chair 228 00:18:17,390 --> 00:18:31,960 i agree with you yes that was what i was going to say it's easier to get a quorum yes and that is 229 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:41,609 what um it's actually recommended so and with all the work so we had it we had i only have 230 00:18:41,609 --> 00:18:49,200 eight on here did i count wrong with peter a different page yeah i'm sorry there's more on 231 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,480 another page yep 232 00:18:51,279 --> 00:19:01,069 the planning board numbers second all in favor hold on for just a second discussion 233 00:19:03,660 --> 00:19:09,799 planning board members that are here what's the reason again that you want to do that well the 234 00:19:09,799 --> 00:19:16,039 first thing is nick says that it's the ideal for getting the work we have ahead of us done which 235 00:19:16,039 --> 00:19:22,759 is considerable okay it's the most manageable number okay all right have you guys had problems 236 00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:25,000 in the past of having well recently 237 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,519 throughout the beginning of the winter we we were having some issues with 238 00:19:29,470 --> 00:19:35,690 we were there was a couple of meetings we didn't have a quorum okay well it was came somebody came 239 00:19:35,690 --> 00:19:40,650 in late and made it i think you have to be calling people all right so yeah the last time we we wrote 240 00:19:40,650 --> 00:19:46,730 the bylaws we actually started with a good majority of them with five this did go it just did go from 241 00:19:46,730 --> 00:19:54,730 seven to nine it went from five to nine okay all right so we have seven too many but there's an eight person left 242 00:19:55,930 --> 00:20:03,609 well there's nine i i did well there's nine and then with with the two some yeah so so dave's off 243 00:20:03,609 --> 00:20:11,950 the list and then you got natalie and sheila are the last or sheila's up for her terms off 244 00:20:11,950 --> 00:20:17,230 yep dave is an offense and he's off and then kurt you're still excellent so we yeah here's the 245 00:20:17,230 --> 00:20:22,910 problem is we have people that are on so somebody's gonna have to right so you have other people 246 00:20:23,710 --> 00:20:24,589 wrong 247 00:20:25,390 --> 00:20:29,390 There's still one person out. 248 00:20:29,390 --> 00:20:33,390 What were we requesting? 249 00:20:33,390 --> 00:20:37,480 Tell Sheila you're out? That's not right. 250 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,579 That's what I'm getting at. So there's one person. So Dave's out. 251 00:20:41,579 --> 00:20:45,579 So you've got Natalie on the back side of the list here. 252 00:20:45,579 --> 00:20:50,029 And then Sheila's turn is up. So somebody on the list has got to go 253 00:20:50,029 --> 00:20:54,029 if I'm not mistaken. Jim and us. 254 00:20:54,029 --> 00:20:58,029 So somebody's got to tell Sheila, hey your term's up. 255 00:20:58,029 --> 00:21:02,029 Thanks for your service. And we went through a seven person board. 256 00:21:02,029 --> 00:21:07,690 Because everyone else has voted on it. 257 00:21:07,690 --> 00:21:11,690 So that's how you ask. Someone's got to tell Sheila. 258 00:21:11,690 --> 00:21:15,690 And that's typically the way it's done. 259 00:21:15,690 --> 00:21:19,690 Am I reading right? Yeah. 260 00:21:19,690 --> 00:21:23,690 They said he would like to go on. 261 00:21:23,690 --> 00:21:25,690 He's not here. He can't come. 262 00:21:25,690 --> 00:21:29,690 So we've got one. Somebody needs to write you a letter saying 263 00:21:29,690 --> 00:21:33,690 you're going to a seven person board. 264 00:21:33,690 --> 00:21:37,690 Seven. Natalie will be seven. Dave's out. 265 00:21:37,690 --> 00:21:41,690 Kurt is just. I don't know. And then Pete's out. 266 00:21:41,690 --> 00:21:45,690 Maybe we can hold Aaron on the list. 267 00:21:45,690 --> 00:21:50,880 I still think that should happen. 268 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,880 So everybody's in until like 2029 other than Sheila. 269 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,880 So we're going to eliminate Sheila's position. 270 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,880 So next year. What's that guy's name? 271 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,880 Those are two more. 272 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,880 Zion. 273 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,880 So we're going to have to go to a seven person board. 274 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,880 So Sheila's going to have to. 275 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,839 And he recommends seven. 276 00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:26,730 Right? 277 00:22:26,730 --> 00:22:28,730 All right. 278 00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:30,730 So we still need to make a motion for all these people 279 00:22:30,730 --> 00:22:32,730 that we talked about. 280 00:22:32,730 --> 00:22:34,730 There's a motion on the floor to go to seven. 281 00:22:34,730 --> 00:22:37,150 A motion. 282 00:22:37,150 --> 00:22:39,150 There is. 283 00:22:39,150 --> 00:22:41,150 There's going to be a discussion. 284 00:22:41,150 --> 00:22:43,150 There will be. 285 00:22:43,150 --> 00:22:45,150 I'm going to be honest with you guys. 286 00:22:45,150 --> 00:22:47,150 There's going to be blowback with this. 287 00:22:47,150 --> 00:22:49,150 That's why I'm asking the questions now. 288 00:22:49,150 --> 00:22:51,150 So when the blowback comes, I have answers to the questions. 289 00:22:51,150 --> 00:22:53,150 Okay? 290 00:22:53,150 --> 00:22:55,150 And it's nothing against anyone. 291 00:22:55,150 --> 00:22:57,150 I know why. 292 00:22:57,150 --> 00:22:59,150 This guy here recommends it. 293 00:22:59,150 --> 00:23:03,150 So when I sent Sheila the letter to say, you know, 294 00:23:03,150 --> 00:23:05,150 we went to a seven person board. 295 00:23:05,150 --> 00:23:07,369 Your term is up. 296 00:23:07,369 --> 00:23:09,369 So unfortunately your position got eliminated. 297 00:23:09,369 --> 00:23:11,369 We had no choice. 298 00:23:11,369 --> 00:23:13,369 It's the only person we can let go. 299 00:23:13,369 --> 00:23:15,369 But maybe be like, well, next year there's two open positions in 2027. 300 00:23:15,369 --> 00:23:17,369 If you'd like to continue your. 301 00:23:17,369 --> 00:23:19,369 Correct. 302 00:23:19,369 --> 00:23:21,369 You know. 303 00:23:21,369 --> 00:23:23,369 Right. 304 00:23:23,369 --> 00:23:25,369 Because everyone else is still on. 305 00:23:25,369 --> 00:23:27,369 Reapply yourself next year. 306 00:23:27,369 --> 00:23:29,369 It gets thrown off next year. 307 00:23:29,369 --> 00:23:31,369 Next year. 308 00:23:33,369 --> 00:23:35,369 So that's gone. 309 00:23:35,369 --> 00:23:37,369 So we just took it right off the list. 310 00:23:37,369 --> 00:23:39,369 So Peter Greenbush's position, he resigned. 311 00:23:39,369 --> 00:23:41,369 And that's terminated. 312 00:23:41,369 --> 00:23:43,369 So there is no open position for that now. 313 00:23:43,369 --> 00:23:45,369 Right. 314 00:23:45,369 --> 00:23:47,369 Well, wait a minute. 315 00:23:47,369 --> 00:23:49,369 So now we've got to do something. 316 00:23:49,369 --> 00:23:51,369 That's my problem. 317 00:23:51,369 --> 00:23:53,369 So they'll have to appoint a chair. 318 00:23:53,369 --> 00:23:55,369 The only one is Natalie in 28. 319 00:23:55,369 --> 00:23:57,369 28. 320 00:23:57,369 --> 00:23:59,369 And all these is up at 27. 321 00:23:59,369 --> 00:24:01,369 Well. 322 00:24:01,369 --> 00:24:03,369 Let's move Sheila into. 323 00:24:03,369 --> 00:24:05,369 She just resigned the position. 324 00:24:05,369 --> 00:24:07,369 Yeah. 325 00:24:07,369 --> 00:24:09,369 This is. 326 00:24:09,369 --> 00:24:11,369 We're making it complicated. 327 00:24:11,369 --> 00:24:13,369 Because then we can just say Jim wants Pete's position and so on. 328 00:24:13,369 --> 00:24:15,369 No. 329 00:24:15,369 --> 00:24:17,369 Pete left and it's more up. 330 00:24:17,369 --> 00:24:19,369 It's an opportunity. 331 00:24:19,369 --> 00:24:21,369 It's a seven person. 332 00:24:21,369 --> 00:24:23,369 The two that we need. 333 00:24:23,369 --> 00:24:25,369 We want to go to seven. 334 00:24:25,369 --> 00:24:27,529 And one resigns. 335 00:24:27,529 --> 00:24:29,529 They're all in meetings. 336 00:24:29,529 --> 00:24:31,529 You can come to every single meeting. 337 00:24:31,529 --> 00:24:34,200 Technically, I was just appointed last year. 338 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,200 And. 339 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,200 I'm just reading this. 340 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,200 There was three. 341 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,200 Yeah, but there was three of us. 342 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,200 And I was the first one and the first one on the list. 343 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,200 Oh, you must have filled in someone else's four years. 344 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,200 Yeah. 345 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,200 Okay. 346 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,299 When we did go up to the nine, we added what? 347 00:24:52,299 --> 00:24:54,299 Three positions to that? 348 00:24:54,299 --> 00:24:56,299 Yeah. 349 00:24:56,299 --> 00:24:58,299 So there might have been like a harder to four year term left. 350 00:24:58,299 --> 00:25:00,299 Right. 351 00:25:00,299 --> 00:25:02,299 And you want to come to the meetings and contribute to the positive. 352 00:25:02,299 --> 00:25:04,299 But I'll take . 353 00:25:04,299 --> 00:25:06,299 And they hold just as much weight. 354 00:25:06,299 --> 00:25:08,299 Yeah. 355 00:25:08,299 --> 00:25:10,299 That's what I'm saying. 356 00:25:10,299 --> 00:25:12,299 We can slide it in if we had to. 357 00:25:12,299 --> 00:25:14,460 I mean for the. 358 00:25:14,460 --> 00:25:16,460 Bottom line is when Nancy read that little note that the state made. 359 00:25:16,460 --> 00:25:19,549 I want to make sure. 360 00:25:19,549 --> 00:25:21,549 And this is the thing. 361 00:25:21,549 --> 00:25:23,549 There's politics involved. 362 00:25:23,549 --> 00:25:25,549 And I don't want that. 363 00:25:25,549 --> 00:25:27,549 And we're getting the bylaws done the right way. 364 00:25:27,549 --> 00:25:29,549 Right. 365 00:25:29,549 --> 00:25:31,549 To spend in the town plan. 366 00:25:31,549 --> 00:25:33,549 It's costing money to do. 367 00:25:33,549 --> 00:25:35,549 Correct? 368 00:25:35,549 --> 00:25:37,549 And we want to do this the right way. 369 00:25:37,549 --> 00:25:39,549 And make sure that we get the best minds. 370 00:25:39,549 --> 00:25:41,549 And no one's doing this for their personal gain. 371 00:25:41,549 --> 00:25:43,549 And do it right. 372 00:25:43,549 --> 00:25:45,549 That's my biggest concern. 373 00:25:45,549 --> 00:25:47,549 Making sure that this board. 374 00:25:47,549 --> 00:25:49,549 These boards that we're planning to do their job. 375 00:25:49,549 --> 00:25:51,549 All right. 376 00:25:51,549 --> 00:25:53,549 This planning commission in my opinion is probably the best planning commission since I've been here. 377 00:25:53,549 --> 00:25:55,549 One. 378 00:25:55,549 --> 00:25:57,549 We're hard workers. 379 00:25:57,549 --> 00:25:59,549 You're biased. 380 00:25:59,549 --> 00:26:01,549 You're on that plan. 381 00:26:01,549 --> 00:26:03,549 I know that. 382 00:26:03,549 --> 00:26:05,549 It was brought to my attention. 383 00:26:05,549 --> 00:26:07,549 When Nick came. 384 00:26:07,549 --> 00:26:09,549 We talked about that. 385 00:26:09,549 --> 00:26:11,900 About the seven man. 386 00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:13,900 And I'm thinking how is this going to work. 387 00:26:13,900 --> 00:26:15,900 But that was when Pete was still there. 388 00:26:15,900 --> 00:26:17,900 And

easiest way without pertinent feelings. 392 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,410 This would be the way. 393 00:26:26,410 --> 00:26:29,150 We've been talking about it for a few months. 394 00:26:29,150 -->

always just had these two BCRC representatives. 516 00:32:39,789 --> 00:32:43,789 So I'm not quite sure what the regional transportation advisory committee is about. 517 00:32:43,789 --> 00:32:46,680 Do you know what it's about, Callie? 518 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,680 At a very high level. 519 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,680 I don't handle that committee directly. 520 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,319 Callie Fishburne. 521 00:32:53,319 --> 00:33:05,390 It's basically a group that meets, I'm not sure, maybe quarterly or maybe even as needed to review and prioritize transportation projects throughout

point in like ranking, like reviewing all the potential projects that could be completed in the county and prioritizing and ranking them. 524 00:33:21,390 --> 00:33:23,390 In terms of their importance for funding. 525 00:33:23,390 --> 00:33:25,390 But I'm, that's probably the best that I know about that. 526 00:33:25,390 --> 00:33:27,390 So I would recommend reaching out to my colleague Nick Dias

00:38:39,079 The agreement that you. 632 00:38:39,079 --> 00:38:41,079 Executed with the state. 633 00:38:41,079 --> 00:38:43,079 But since we'll be your. 634 00:38:43,079 --> 00:38:45,079 Consultant

00:38:51,079 --> 00:38:53,079 Which basically just says. 639 00:38:53,079 --> 00:38:55,630 You do what? 640 00:38:55,630 --> 00:38:57,630 That we're doing it. 641 00:38:57,630 --> 00:38:59,630 You

00:39:07,880 And just has a. 646 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,880 Kind of high level scope of work. 647 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,880 That we pull directly from the grant application. 648 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,880 That was submitted. 649 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,489 And approved by the state. 650 00:39:16,489 --> 00:39:18,489 So I'm sorry I didn't make. 651 00:39:18,489 --> 00:39:20,489 A committee copy. 652 00:39:20,489 --> 00:39:22,489 I wasn't sure if everyone needed a copy. 653 00:39:22,489 --> 00:39:24,489 Or I have one extra copy. 654 00:39:24,489 --> 00:39:26,809 If anyone does want to look at it. 655 00:39:26,809 --> 00:39:28,809 Who's the chair of your committee? 656 00:39:28,809 --> 00:39:32,030 Oh yeah. 657 00:39:32,030 --> 00:39:34,030 They have no chair. 658 00:39:34,030 --> 00:39:36,030 That's right they have no chair. 659 00:39:36,030 --> 00:39:38,030 So that yeah. 660 00:39:38,030 --> 00:39:40,030 That's just like the first page or two. 661 00:39:40,030 --> 00:39:42,030 Is standard like contract language. 662 00:39:42,030 --> 00:39:44,030 That we have. 663 00:39:44,030 --> 00:39:46,030 If you've had a contract with BCRC before. 664 00:39:46,030 --> 00:39:48,030 That's probably somewhat familiar to you. 665 00:39:48,030 --> 00:39:50,030 It's just very standard language. 666 00:39:50,030 --> 00:39:52,030 And then there is a. 667 00:39:52,030 --> 00:39:54,030 Attachment that is. 668 00:39:54,030 --> 00:39:56,030 The scope of work again. 669 00:39:56,030 --> 00:39:58,030 Pulled directly from the grant agreement. 670 00:39:58,030 --> 00:40:00,030 Outlines a rough timeline. 671 00:40:00,030 --> 00:40:02,030 The scope of work. 672 00:40:02,030 --> 00:40:04,409 And the budget. 673 00:40:04,409 --> 00:40:08,650 This is for the plan. 674 00:40:08,650 --> 00:40:12,000 Yes for the town plan. 675 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,000 So the state sends you the money. 676 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,000 Or sends it here to Laurie. 677 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,000 And then we pay you. 678 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,000 Or does it go to you first. 679 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,000 It goes to you. 680 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,000 So the grant was awarded to the town of Stanford. 681 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,000 And unfortunately. 682 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,000 You're going to have to use that. 683 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000 Very non user friendly system. 684 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,000 To make payment requests. 685 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,000 So I actually. 686 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,000 Have a copy of the. 687 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,000 Like grant administration guide. 688 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000 For this program that the state has published. 689 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,000 Maybe Laurie you might. 690 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,000 Maybe like to have this. 691 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000 And it basically. 692 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,000 Just goes over. 693 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,000 The process for requesting payments. 694 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000 And I believe it is. 695 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,480 So you can make. 696 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,480 Three requisitions for the grant. 697 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,599 The first one. 698 00:40:58,599 --> 00:41:00,599 Can be 40% 699 00:41:00,599 --> 00:41:02,599 Advanced payment once the grant agreement. 700 00:41:02,599 --> 00:41:04,599 With the state has been executed. 701 00:41:04,599 --> 00:41:06,599 And you have already done. 702 00:41:06,599 --> 00:41:08,599 So you could request that 40%. 703 00:41:08,599 --> 00:41:10,599 At basically now at any time. 704 00:41:10,599 --> 00:41:13,280 You don't have to show up. 705 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,280 No this is an advanced payment. 706 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,280 So of the three requisitions. 707 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,280 Two are advanced. 708 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,280 That you can get in advance. 709 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,280 And then the final payment is a reimbursal. 710 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,280 So you can submit for a 40% advanced payment. 711 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,280 Again right after you execute the grant agreement. 712 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,280 Which you've done. 713 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,280 And then after that you can submit a. 714 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,280 Request for 30% of your grant award. 715 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,280 And then after that. 716 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,280 After a progress report. 717 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,280 That's due at the end of. 718 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,280 At the beginning of December this year. 719 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,280 So that will be at the end of the year. 720 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,280 And then at the end. 721 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,280 When the project is complete. 722 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,280 Meaning when the town plan has been updated. 723 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,280 You can submit a final request. 724 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,280 For the remaining 30%. 725 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,500 Which would be a reimbursement. 726 00:41:55,500 --> 00:41:57,920 So you're going to. 727 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:04,400 You're going to get recommendations. 728 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,400 Right from the. 729 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,400 Board looks at it. 730 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,400 Yeah. 731 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,400 So the scope of work. 732 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,400 Also details a public engagement. 733 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,400 Campaign as well. 734 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,400 And the scope of work. 735 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,400 That you have in front of you. 736 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,400 Is somewhat high level. 737 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,400 Because I think actually. 738 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,400 I'll be going to the planning commission meeting. 739 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,400 On Monday evening. 740 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,400 To really kick off this work. 741 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,400 And get into the details. 742 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,400 With the planning commission. 743 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,400

that's been popular. 747 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,400 In a number of other towns. 748 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,400 Is getting people together to. 749 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,400 You know walk

point out you know certain features. 753 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,400 But. 754 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,400 Then working with the planning commission. 755 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,400 To actually like come up with some specifics. 756 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,400 For that information. 757 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,400 And let them kind of. 758 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,750 Be the guide. 759 00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,750 We did actually have a historical tour pamphlet. 760 00:43:08,750 --> 00:43:10,969 Oh really. 761 00:43:10,969 --> 00:43:12,969 Yeah. 762 00:43:12,969 --> 00:43:14,969 Yeah so something like that. 763 00:43:14,969 --> 00:43:16,969 Like we've had a lot of success. 764 00:43:16,969 --> 00:43:18,969 Doing this in other communities. 765 00:43:18,969 --> 00:43:20,969 Like little wooden plaques. 766 00:43:20,969 --> 00:43:22,969 Is that edged stone. 767 00:43:22,969 --> 00:43:24,969 Or just projected for hours. 768 00:43:24,969 --> 00:43:26,969 Yeah that's really neat. 769 00:43:26,969 --> 00:43:28,969 We should definitely talk about that. 770 00:43:28,969 --> 00:43:30,969 At the planning commission meeting. 771 00:43:30,969 --> 00:43:32,969 What is that. 772 00:43:32,969 --> 00:43:34,969 Like a definite. 773 00:43:34,969 --> 00:43:36,969 Definite what it's going to cost. 774 00:43:36,969 --> 00:43:38,969 28,000 is a definite cost. 775 00:43:38,969 --> 00:43:41,610 Or is it like a projected. 776 00:43:41,610 --> 00:43:43,610 Cost amount. 777 00:43:43,610 --> 00:43:45,610 That's the budget. 778 00:43:45,610 --> 00:43:47,610 And that's the not to exceed cost. 779 00:43:47,610 --> 00:43:49,610 Oftentimes when we're working on these projects. 780 00:43:49,610 --> 00:43:51,610 With towns. 781 00:43:51,610 --> 00:43:53,610 We end up devoting more staff hours to it. 782 00:43:53,610 --> 00:43:55,610 Than what is usually the budget. 783 00:43:55,610 --> 00:43:57,610 But we don't charge more than what we. 784 00:43:57,610 --> 00:43:59,610 We put in that agreement. 785 00:43:59,610 --> 00:44:01,610 And that's based on your total. 786 00:44:01,610 --> 00:44:03,610 You know grant amount. 787 00:44:03,610 --> 00:44:05,610 Which does require a 10% local match. 788 00:44:05,610 --> 00:44:07,610 Which I think. 789 00:44:07,610 --> 00:44:09,960 Was brought to the board. 790 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,960 So the planning commission. 791 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,960 Should have a budget. 792 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,960 This year through 2800. 793 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:28,170 And I think a little bit. 794 00:44:28,170 --> 00:44:30,170 The schedule that's in the contract there. 795 00:44:30,170 --> 00:44:32,199 For paying VCRC. 796 00:44:32,199 --> 00:44:34,199 Is aligned with the requisition schedule. 797 00:44:34,199 --> 00:44:36,199 In this grant here. 798 00:44:36,199 --> 00:44:38,199 So we wouldn't be. 799 00:44:38,199 --> 00:44:41,360 Asking you to pay us. 800 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,639 Until you have. 801 00:44:44,639 --> 00:44:48,619 We should have Nancy sign as. 802 00:44:48,619 --> 00:44:54,239 Applying for this. 803 00:44:54,239 --> 00:45:03,369 It's very hard. 804 00:45:03,369 --> 00:45:05,369 Yeah and I think part of the tricky thing. 805 00:45:05,369 --> 00:45:07,369 Is because you Nancy. 806 00:45:07,369 --> 00:45:09,760 Is the municipal authorizing official. 807 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,760 I think only the municipal authorizing. 808 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,760 Or at least with the account access. 809 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,760 Of the municipal authorizing official. 810 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,760 Can make the requisition. 811 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,980 Requests. 812 00:45:19,980 --> 00:45:21,980 So yeah. 813 00:45:21,980 --> 00:45:23,980 We'll probably have Callie. 814 00:45:23,980 --> 00:45:25,980 On the phone too. 815 00:45:25,980 --> 00:45:28,199 I know it's a very obnoxious system. 816 00:45:28,199 --> 00:45:30,199 I wish it could. 817 00:45:30,199 --> 00:45:33,449 We didn't have to use it. 818 00:45:33,449 --> 00:45:35,449 And Kurt you're the like. 819 00:45:35,449 --> 00:45:37,449 Backup municipal office. 820 00:45:37,449 --> 00:45:39,449 So if something were to happen to Nancy. 821 00:45:39,449 --> 00:45:41,449 She'll be fine. 822 00:45:41,449 --> 00:45:43,449 You are there. 823 00:45:43,449 --> 00:45:45,449 For redundancies sake. 824 00:45:45,449 --> 00:45:47,449 And that's just sort of the. 825 00:45:47,449 --> 00:45:49,449 The state is pretty strict about. 826 00:45:49,449 --> 00:45:51,449 The person who can execute the grant agreement. 827 00:45:51,449 --> 00:45:53,449 And request payments. 828 00:45:53,449 --> 00:45:55,449 Is someone who is. 829 00:45:55,449 --> 00:45:57,449 Either a town staff person. 830 00:45:57,449 --> 00:45:59,449 Like a town manager. 831 00:45:59,449 --> 00:46:01,449 Or an elected official. 832 00:46:01,449 --> 00:46:03,449 Like a select board member. 833 00:46:03,449 --> 00:46:05,449 But yeah. 834 00:46:05,449 --> 00:46:07,449 If you want to work together on that. 835 00:46:07,449 --> 00:46:09,449 However you want to handle. 836 00:46:09,449 --> 00:46:11,480 It's kind of funny that. 837 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,599 The state can only talk to me. 838 00:46:14,599 --> 00:46:18,400 Was it you? 839 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,400 I don't remember. 840 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,400 It was the state. 841 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,400 Sorry you're on speaker with Laurie. 842 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,400 Because we both need to do this. 843 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,400 Yeah. 844 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,400 They have their processes. 845 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,400 That they have to stick to. 846 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,710 Even though they don't always conform. 847 00:46:35,710 --> 00:46:37,710 To the way municipal systems are set up. 848 00:46:37,710 --> 00:46:39,710 And yeah. 849 00:46:39,710 --> 00:46:41,710 So I'm happy to continue to help. 850 00:46:41,710

after. 853 00:46:49,849 --> 00:46:51,849 Yeah. 854 00:46:51,849 --> 00:46:53,849 So once you've signed it. 855 00:46:53,849 --> 00:46:55,849 I'll have my director sign it. 856 00:46:55,849 -->

00:50:00,090 --> 00:50:02,090 Is that a grant. 922 00:50:02,090 --> 00:50:04,090 That we're going to get reimbursed for. 923 00:50:04,090 --> 00:50:06,409 It shows. 924 00:50:06,409 --> 00:50:08,409 Nothing in the budget. 925 00:50:08,409 --> 00:50:10,409 231,000 was paid out. 926 00:50:10,409 --> 00:50:12,730 Oh yes. 927 00:50:12,730 --> 00:50:14,730 For East Road. 928 00:50:14,730 -->

amount. 936 00:50:31,500 --> 00:50:33,500 I can't even remember what the whole amount was. 937 00:50:33,500 --> 00:50:35,500 I don't have it in front of me. 938 00:50:35,500 --> 00:50:37,500 But it

that's part of the problem. 947 00:50:53,500 --> 00:50:55,500 And then you try to go back and find out. 948 00:50:55,500 --> 00:50:57,500 Well where did they get that. 949 00:50:57,500 -->

it's full time now? 960 00:51:20,079 --> 00:51:22,079 Yes. 961 00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:24,079 Okay. 962 00:51:24,079 --> 00:51:26,079 And was there a salary set? 963 00:51:26,079 --> 00:51:28,429 Target for a Lister? 964 00:51:28,429 --> 00:51:30,429 No. 965 00:51:30,429 --> 00:51:32,429 For the highway. 966 00:51:32,429 --> 00:51:34,429 Is there a salary set now? 967 00:51:34,429 --> 00:51:36,429 Yes. 968 00:51:36,429 --> 00:51:38,429 Okay. 969 00:51:38,429 --> 00:51:40,429 For an hour? 970 00:51:40,429 --> 00:51:42,429 Okay. 971 00:51:42,429 --> 00:51:44,429 Yeah. 972 00:51:44,429 --> 00:51:46,429 So with everything. 973 00:51:46,429 --> 00:51:48,429 Including the overtime and everything. 974 00:51:48,429 --> 00:51:53,400 It comes out. 975 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,659 So I was just. 976 00:51:55,659 --> 00:51:59,130 I don't recall. 977 00:51:59,130 --> 00:52:01,130 That discussion on how much of a. 978 00:52:01,130 --> 00:52:03,320 How much of an expense. 979 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:09,900 Between. 980 00:52:09,900 --> 00:52:11,900 Executive session. 981 00:52:11,900 --> 00:52:13,900 Okay. 982 00:52:13,900 --> 00:52:15,900 Figures were talked about. 983 00:52:15,900 --> 00:52:34,699 Recommendations. 984 00:52:34,699 --> 00:52:47,519 I'm not sure. 985 00:52:47,519 --> 00:52:50,989 I thought I looked. 986 00:52:50,989 --> 00:52:52,989 One of the biggest reasons why. 987 00:52:52,989 --> 00:52:55,559 If I'm correct. 988 00:52:55,559 --> 00:52:57,559 If Dave wants to correct. 989 00:52:57,559 --> 00:53:02,599 That we decided a third person. 990 00:53:02,599 --> 00:53:27,320 Is the state's mandates. 991 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,320 Or Kansan job of the state. 992 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:34,139 I'm not questioning the third person. 993 00:53:34,139 --> 00:53:36,139 That would diminish some of the overtime. 994 00:53:36,139 --> 00:53:38,139 Well. 995 00:53:38,139 --> 00:53:40,139 I don't know if that will. 996 00:53:40,139 --> 00:53:42,139 It added that exact amount again. 997 00:53:42,139 --> 00:53:44,139 So. 998 00:53:44,139 --> 00:53:46,139 I don't know if it would diminish. 999 00:53:46,139 --> 00:53:48,139 40 hours. 1000 00:53:48,139 --> 00:53:50,139 Right. 1001 00:53:50,139 --> 00:53:52,139 So the overtime shouldn't. 1002 00:53:52,139 --> 00:53:54,139 And especially your first year. 1003 00:53:54,139 --> 00:53:56,139 Person is definitely not good. 1004 00:53:56,139 --> 00:53:58,400 There was more changes to the. 1005 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,400 I guess employee power. 1006 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:05,340 That adds to that too. 1007 00:54:05,340 --> 00:54:07,789 It all depends on. 1008 00:54:07,789 --> 00:54:10,650 A new guy. 1009 00:54:10,650 --> 00:54:29,230 It was more about demand too. 1010 00:54:29,230 --> 00:54:33,440 I mean the expectation. 1011 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:56,429 But I was against. 1012 00:54:56,429 --> 00:55:09,760 Not against having three. 1013 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:11,760 Money in a different way. 1014 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,360 It was more about. 1015 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:30,190 A hundred thousand dollars. 1016 00:55:30,190 --> 00:55:32,190 One of the things. 1017 00:55:32,190 --> 00:55:34,190 This is where I'm looking at. 1018 00:55:34,190 --> 00:55:36,190 That's getting less and less and less. 1019 00:55:36,190 --> 00:55:38,190 And as a businessman. 1020 00:55:38,190 --> 00:55:40,190 And someone that owns his own business. 1021 00:55:40,190 --> 00:55:42,190 It goes like that. 1022 00:55:42,190 --> 00:55:44,510 And you keep putting it off. 1023 00:55:44,510 --> 00:55:46,510 And tomorrow you go. 1024 00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:48,510 Boy I need that guy. 1025 00:55:48,510 --> 00:55:50,510 So I definitely. 1026 00:55:50,510 --> 00:55:52,510 We could quickly learn. 1027 00:55:52,510 --> 00:55:54,670 How well we actually have it. 1028 00:55:54,670 --> 00:55:56,670 Right now. 1029 00:55:56,670 --> 00:55:58,670 It was the money. 1030 00:55:58,670 --> 00:56:00,670 I mean. 1031 00:56:00,670 --> 00:56:02,670 We had an article for. 1032 00:56:02,670 --> 00:56:04,670 A new truck. 1033 00:56:04,670 --> 00:56:06,670 We had an article for this and that. 1034 00:56:06,670 --> 00:56:08,670 And then this was a pretty big. 1035 00:56:08,670 --> 00:56:10,670 Expense. 1036 00:56:10,670 --> 00:56:12,670 And I get it. 1037 00:56:12,670 --> 00:56:14,670 You guys have the power of hiring. 1038 00:56:14,670 --> 00:56:16,670 So it's totally your decision. 1039 00:56:16,670 --> 00:56:18,670 It's just more than I expected. 1040 00:56:18,670 --> 00:56:20,989 That's all. 1041 00:56:20,989 --> 00:57:39,369 We had a third employee. 1042 00:57:39,369 --> 00:57:41,369 Yes. 1043 00:57:41,369 --> 00:57:43,369 The bus business. 1044 00:57:43,369 --> 00:57:45,369 And the log standards. 1045 00:57:45,369 --> 00:57:47,369 And for the fun of it. 1046 00:57:47,369 --> 00:57:49,369 Those are safety standards. 1047 00:57:49,369 --> 00:57:51,369 The municipalities are exempt. 1048 00:57:51,369 --> 00:57:53,369 From the safety standards. 1049 00:57:53,369 --> 00:57:55,369 But when you've got men. 1050 00:57:55,369 --> 00:57:57,369 Driving trucks in the middle of the night. 1051 00:57:57,369 --> 00:57:59,369 They're going to get tired. 1052 00:57:59,369 --> 00:58:01,369 And fortunately. 1053 00:58:01,369 --> 00:58:03,369 We're exempt from having to pay the fines. 1054 00:58:03,369 --> 00:58:05,719 If you know. 1055 00:58:05,719 --> 00:58:07,719 If there is a problem. 1056 00:58:07,719 --> 00:58:09,719 But I really wouldn't want to see a truck in a river. 1057 00:58:09,719 --> 00:58:12,300 With somebody asleep in it. 1058 00:58:12,300 --> 00:58:14,619 So. 1059 00:58:14,619 --> 00:58:16,619 That's the third person I was questioning. 1060 00:58:16,619 --> 00:58:19,710 I can understand that. 1061 00:58:19,710 --> 00:58:22,960 I don't unfortunately know. 1062 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,960 I think it's. 1063 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,960 Also. 1064 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,960 Looks like you had a whole page. 1065 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:30,960 I did. 1066 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:32,960 But I crossed off a lot. 1067 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:34,960 I don't know. 1068 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:36,960 I was just asking if anybody knows. 1069 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:38,960 What the status is of the logging operation. 1070 00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:40,960 That is happening. 1071 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:42,960 Because Mill Road. 1072 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:44,960 It's like a. 1073 00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,820 Crazy to drive through. 1074 00:58:47,820 --> 00:58:49,820 Because they had the change. 1075 00:58:49,820 --> 00:58:51,820 Yesterday. 1076 00:58:51,820 --> 00:58:53,820 They were up and down all day. 1077 00:58:53,820 --> 00:58:55,820 The road was soft. 1078 00:58:55,820 --> 00:58:57,820 I'm sure I'm not telling Dave anything. 1079 00:58:57,820 --> 00:58:59,820 Do they go up in the afternoon. 1080 00:58:59,820 --> 00:59:01,820 Because I noticed in the morning. 1081 00:59:01,820 --> 00:59:03,820 First thing in the morning. 1082 00:59:03,820 --> 00:59:05,820 I go to work. 1083 00:59:05,820 --> 00:59:07,820 430 in the morning. 1084 00:59:07,820 --> 00:59:09,820 I noticed they're going early. 1085 00:59:09,820 --> 00:59:11,820 Because they must be trying to get it. 1086 00:59:11,820 --> 00:59:13,820 Before it softens. 1087 00:59:13,820 --> 00:59:15,820 They've been in contact with me. 1088 00:59:15,820 --> 00:59:17,820 In the last few weeks. 1089 00:59:17,820 --> 00:59:20,139 Yeah. 1090 00:59:20,139 --> 00:59:22,139 And then other guy. 1091 00:59:22,139 --> 00:59:24,139 One of the other guys stopped. 1092 00:59:24,139 --> 00:59:26,139 And saw me the other day. 1093 00:59:26,139 --> 00:59:28,139 The S&M outfit hasn't stopped to see me. 1094 00:59:28,139 --> 00:59:30,300 But their trucks didn't even haul today. 1095 00:59:30,300 --> 00:59:32,300 I've seen their trucks coming out. 1096 00:59:32,300 --> 00:59:34,300 So I'm assuming they're. 1097 00:59:34,300 --> 00:59:36,300 They know. 1098 00:59:36,300 --> 00:59:38,300 They know what's coming. 1099 00:59:38,300 --> 00:59:40,300 They all know. 1100 00:59:40,300 --> 00:59:42,300 They're more considerate than probably anybody else on the road. 1101 00:59:42,300 --> 00:59:44,300 I mean you're still going to have oil trucks. 1102 00:59:44,300 --> 00:59:46,300 And propane trucks. 1103 00:59:46,300 --> 00:59:48,300 Their excavation is Risby Ranch. 1104 00:59:48,300 --> 00:59:50,300 That's correct. 1105 00:59:50,300 --> 00:59:52,300 And who's the other one. 1106 00:59:52,300 --> 00:59:54,300 It's S&M is one of the other ones. 1107 00:59:54,300 --> 00:59:56,300 And I'm not sure. 1108 00:59:56,300 --> 00:59:58,300 And where are they hauling out of. 1109 00:59:58,300 --> 01:00:00,300 264. 1110 01:00:00,300 --> 01:00:02,300 Tim's. 1111 01:00:02,300 --> 01:00:04,300 So they're kind of really. 1112 01:00:04,300 --> 01:00:06,809 Well aware of. 1113 01:00:06,809 --> 01:00:09,739 So I was just up there. 1114 01:00:09,739 --> 01:00:12,000 A day or so ago. 1115 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,000 When was the day we got all that crap. 1116 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,059 I was all the way up. 1117 01:00:16,059 --> 01:00:18,059 Down in Maltese. 1118 01:00:18,059 --> 01:00:20,059 And I did see like something broke. 1119 01:00:20,059 --> 01:00:22,059 At the end up there. 1120 01:00:22,059 --> 01:00:24,059 You guys blow a line or something. 1121 01:00:24,059 --> 01:00:26,059 I've seen some color in the snow. 1122 01:00:26,059 --> 01:00:28,059 But the roads look good. 1123 01:00:28,059 --> 01:00:30,059 They weren't soft by any means. 1124 01:00:30,059 --> 01:00:32,059 Maybe in the center. 1125 01:00:32,059 --> 01:00:34,059 Once the sun starts hitting it. 1126 01:00:34,059 --> 01:00:36,059 Maybe mud up a little bit. 1127 01:00:36,059 --> 01:00:38,059 Yeah I mean obviously in the next week or so. 1128 01:00:38,059 --> 01:00:41,079 We're going to see some mud. 1129 01:00:41,079 --> 01:00:43,150 We're not in road conditions yet. 1130 01:00:43,150 --> 01:00:45,150 So I don't speak on that. 1131 01:00:45,150 --> 01:00:47,150 Let's get to it. 1132 01:00:47,150 --> 01:00:49,150 Road conditions. 1133 01:00:49,150 --> 01:00:51,690 Okay. 1134 01:00:51,690 --> 01:00:54,199 Sure. 1135 01:00:54,199

01:15:21,250 --> 01:15:22,250 When it starts warming up, I guess, right? 1358 01:15:22,250 --> 01:15:23,250 Yeah. 1359 01:15:23,250 --> 01:15:24,250 Water is. 1360 01:15:24,250 --> 01:15:25,250 Well, when it. 1361 01:15:25,250 --> 01:15:26,250 You may not notice it. 1362 01:15:26,250 --> 01:15:27,250 When it warms up. 1363 01:15:27,250 --> 01:15:28,250 Because once the frost is out of the ground. 1364 01:15:28,250 --> 01:15:29,250 Well, this whole area is covered with grass. 1365 01:15:29,250 --> 01:15:30,250 School is sitting. 1366 01:15:30,250 --> 01:15:31,250 So it may just drain down. 1367 01:15:31,250 --> 01:15:32,250 Soak right up. 1368 01:15:32,250 --> 01:15:33,670 Well, when the frost and the ground is froze. 1369 01:15:33,670 --> 01:15:34,670 So it's coming to the surface. 1370 01:15:34,670 --> 01:15:35,670 I've got a water leak. 1371 01:15:35,670 --> 01:15:36,670 I've got a water leak. 1372 01:15:36,670 --> 01:15:37,670 I've got a water leak. 1373 01:15:37,670 --> 01:15:38,670 I've got a water leak. 1374 01:15:38,670 --> 01:15:39,670 I've got a water leak. 1375 01:15:39,670 --> 01:15:40,670 I've got a water leak. 1376 01:15:40,670 --> 01:15:41,670 Oh, it's coming to the surface. 1377 01:15:41,670 --> 01:15:42,670 I've got a water spot. 1378 01:15:42,670 --> 01:15:43,670 You might want to look into it. 1379 01:15:43,670 --> 01:15:44,670 Until you don't end up with the same form. 1380 01:15:44,670 --> 01:15:45,670 Under the plastic. 1381 01:15:45,670 --> 01:15:46,670 Under the plastic. 1382 01:15:46,670 --> 01:15:47,670 Under the plastic side. 1383 01:15:47,670 --> 01:15:48,670 You have water inside? 1384 01:15:48,670 --> 01:15:49,670 I have a wet spot, underneath my chair, that as soon as it unthawed enough. 1385 01:15:49,670 --> 01:15:50,670 It's like this big. 1386 01:15:50,670 --> 01:15:51,670 It's under the plastic. 1387 01:15:51,670 --> 01:15:52,670 Frozen spot. 1388 01:15:52,670 --> 01:15:53,670 Under the chair. 1389 01:15:53,670 --> 01:15:54,670 Under her office, under the plastic. 1390 01:15:54,670 --> 01:15:55,670 In her office, under the plastic. 1391 01:15:55,670 --> 01:15:56,670 Yeah. 1392 01:15:56,670 --> 01:15:58,210 She needs me coming all up. 1393 01:15:58,210 --> 01:15:59,210 Water is coming. 1394 01:15:59,210 --> 01:16:00,210 All of the plastic spot. 1395 01:16:00,210 --> 01:16:01,210 Under the plastic. 1396 01:16:01,210 --> 01:16:02,210 A little bit of milk. 1397 01:16:02,210 --> 01:16:03,210 All of the milk. 1398 01:16:03,210 --> 01:16:04,210 All of the milk. 1399 01:16:04,210 --> 01:16:05,210 The water is coming out. 1400 01:16:05,210 --> 01:16:14,210 I'm not even saying anything, this is too easy. 1401 01:16:14,210 --> 01:16:17,210 We already have that. 1402 01:16:17,210 --> 01:16:20,210 We'll keep an eye on that. 1403 01:16:20,210 --> 01:16:22,210 Well, the school is supposed to come down and look at it. 1404 01:16:22,210 --> 01:16:25,210 I saw some trucks here the other day, but I don't know who they were or what. 1405 01:16:25,210 --> 01:16:28,210 I mean, they'll see it when the sinkhole shows up. 1406 01:16:28,210 --> 01:16:32,210 We can't find Lori. 1407 01:16:32,210 --> 01:16:36,210 The sinkhole, yeah. 1408 01:16:36,210 --> 01:16:43,210 And the other people here working, did they fix the alarm system? 1409 01:16:43,210 --> 01:16:44,210 Yes. 1410 01:16:44,210 --> 01:16:47,210 Was it just a glitch on the box that we were trying on? 1411 01:16:47,210 --> 01:16:49,210 Okay. 1412 01:16:49,210 --> 01:16:53,159 It took them 15 minutes. 1413 01:16:53,159 --> 01:16:59,270 So we talk about this at meetings with the school, 1414 01:16:59,270 --> 01:17:07,029 and every time we had these meetings with the school, 1415 01:17:07,029 --> 01:17:09,029 and last time we had meetings with the superintendents, 1416 01:17:09,029 --> 01:17:11,640 I'll look into it, but they came back and said, 1417 01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:12,640 there's really nothing we can do. 1418 01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:14,279 One of the big things, 1419 01:17:14,279 --> 01:17:22,869 that I would like to look into, 1420 01:17:22,869 --> 01:17:24,869 they're in charge of getting some of them, 1421 01:17:24,869 --> 01:17:25,869 but they don't really care, 1422 01:17:25,869 --> 01:17:27,869 because we take care of the snow. 1423 01:17:27,869 --> 01:17:30,090 We should have a say on this. 1424 01:17:30,090 --> 01:17:32,090 We should be able to say, 1425 01:17:32,090 --> 01:17:34,090 let's advertise, get someone in here, 1426 01:17:34,090 --> 01:17:36,350 hire someone. 1427 01:17:36,350 --> 01:17:41,539 Why are they in charge of our town, our building? 1428 01:17:41,539 --> 01:17:44,670 I think the supervisory union hires them. 1429 01:17:44,670 --> 01:17:45,670 Exactly, they do. 1430 01:17:45,670 --> 01:17:46,670 But why? 1431 01:17:46,670 --> 01:17:47,670 Why do they have to? 1432 01:17:47,670 --> 01:17:49,729 Why can't we do it? 1433 01:17:49,729 --> 01:17:50,729 Hired a guy. 1434 01:17:50,729 --> 01:17:53,729 We'll do the quarry checker whenever they need, 1435 01:17:53,729 --> 01:17:54,729 but then we can say, 1436 01:17:54,729 --> 01:17:56,729 look, you clean the snow, 1437 01:17:56,729 --> 01:17:57,729 you remove the snow, 1438 01:17:57,729 --> 01:17:59,729 you get the water out of there in the morning, 1439 01:17:59,729 --> 01:18:01,729 this is your job. 1440 01:18:01,729 --> 01:18:03,729 I don't know why. 1441 01:18:03,729 --> 01:18:07,729 The state law governs what the schools can do. 1442 01:18:07,729 --> 01:18:12,079 What do they call it? 1443 01:18:12,079 --> 01:18:13,079 Supervisory union. 1444 01:18:13,079 --> 01:18:14,079 Supervisory union. 1445 01:18:14,079 --> 01:18:16,079 As a building committee, 1446 01:18:16,079 --> 01:18:18,079 or a building supervisor, 1447 01:18:18,079 --> 01:18:20,079 that works out of that building, 1448 01:18:20,079 --> 01:18:24,079 and they're actually in charge of this entire building. 1449 01:18:24,079 --> 01:18:26,079 I understand that, 1450 01:18:26,079 --> 01:18:30,079 but when we say the state is in charge, 1451 01:18:30,079 --> 01:18:33,279 does that mean it's rule of law, 1452 01:18:33,279 --> 01:18:35,279 or are they just saying they are 1453 01:18:35,279 --> 01:18:39,279 so they can get their feather capped? 1454 01:18:39,279 --> 01:18:41,279 When all this crap was going on, 1455 01:18:41,279 --> 01:18:42,279 who owns the building and all that, 1456 01:18:42,279 --> 01:18:44,279 we all know who owns the building. 1457 01:18:44,279 --> 01:18:45,279 We do. 1458 01:18:45,279 --> 01:18:46,279 We own the building. 1459 01:18:46,279 --> 01:18:48,310 So we're in charge of the building. 1460 01:18:48,310 --> 01:18:49,310 However, 1461 01:18:49,310 --> 01:18:51,310 when they're in there, 1462 01:18:51,310 --> 01:18:52,310 and that's a school, 1463 01:18:52,310 --> 01:18:55,310 then the Department of Education 1464 01:18:55,310 --> 01:18:56,310 in the state of Vermont 1465 01:18:56,310 --> 01:18:58,310 is the overseer, 1466 01:18:58,310 --> 01:18:59,310 the judicial part of it. 1467 01:18:59,310 --> 01:19:01,310 They're in charge. 1468 01:19:01,310 --> 01:19:04,310 If you want to be honest about it, 1469 01:19:04,310 --> 01:19:06,310 we can get thrown out of here. 1470 01:19:06,310 --> 01:19:08,439 Because there's a public safety issue 1471 01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:10,439 with the open, 1472 01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:13,439 with today's guns and all that stuff, 1473 01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:17,760 and the ability to just come right through that door 1474 01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:18,760 and do damage. 1475 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:19,880 Right? 1476 01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:21,880 So if you go to any other locked school 1477 01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:23,880 that's a specific school, 1478 01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,880 there is a big time safety protocol. 1479 01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:27,880 Right. 1480 01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:28,880 So, 1481 01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:29,880 but anyways, 1482 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:31,880 seeing as how we're somewhat safe, 1483 01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:33,880 it's always been this way. 1484 01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:38,880 There's many school town hall buildings in Vermont. 1485 01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:39,880 Right. 1486 01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:40,880 We went down this road before. 1487 01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:41,880 My point is, 1488 01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,880 and I know the school has their authority 1489 01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:44,880 because they're a state. 1490 01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:45,880 I understand that. 1491 01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:46,880 I don't like it, 1492 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:47,880 but I understand it. 1493 01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:48,880 But I'm just saying is 1494 01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:52,039 when it comes to taking care of the building, 1495 01:19:52,039 --> 01:19:55,039 which the janitor is part of that, 1496 01:19:55,039 --> 01:19:57,239 why can't we talk to them and say, 1497 01:19:57,239 --> 01:20:00,239 why won't we hire four? 1498 01:20:00,239 --> 01:20:01,239 You have, 1499 01:20:01,239 --> 01:20:03,239 and I will say, 1500 01:20:03,239 --> 01:20:05,239 and I don't know if anybody else is here, 1501 01:20:05,239 --> 01:20:07,239 but you probably have the best principal over there 1502 01:20:07,239 --> 01:20:09,239 that you've had in a long time. 1503 01:20:09,239 --> 01:20:13,329 She's very willing to come here 1504 01:20:13,329 --> 01:20:15,329 and sit here every Thursday night at the meeting. 1505 01:20:15,329 --> 01:20:16,329 She did. 1506 01:20:16,329 --> 01:20:17,329 When we didn't have a meeting, 1507 01:20:17,329 --> 01:20:18,329 she was here, unfortunately. 1508 01:20:18,329 --> 01:20:20,329 Yeah. 1509 01:20:20,329 --> 01:20:23,329 We must have a better principal than we had last time 1510 01:20:23,329 --> 01:20:26,329 because the grades have gone up dramatically. 1511 01:20:26,329 --> 01:20:27,329 Yeah. 1512 01:20:27,329 --> 01:20:29,329 That's pretty good. 1513 01:20:29,329 --> 01:20:33,329 So the janitor works 11 of seven, 1514 01:20:33,329 --> 01:20:36,329 which is why he can't do the walkways initially, 1515 01:20:36,329 --> 01:20:39,329 but he will snowblow and do all the rest of it. 1516 01:20:39,329 --> 01:20:42,329 But he's also doing way more maintenance 1517 01:20:42,329 --> 01:20:43,329 than the last guy used to. 1518 01:20:43,329 --> 01:20:44,329 He's painting, he's fixing. 1519 01:20:44,329 --> 01:20:45,329 He's a great guy. 1520 01:20:45,329 --> 01:20:47,329 He's really making an effort to... 1521 01:20:47,329 --> 01:20:48,329 He's doing really good. 1522 01:20:48,329 --> 01:20:50,329 Who gives him the hours? 1523 01:20:50,329 --> 01:20:52,329 Did they negotiate it because of him? 1524 01:20:52,329 --> 01:20:54,329 Does it fit around his schedule? 1525 01:20:54,329 --> 01:20:55,329 Well, you've got to kind of 1526 01:20:55,329 --> 01:20:57,329 put schools in session all day, right? 1527 01:20:57,329 --> 01:20:58,329 They're making a mess, 1528 01:20:58,329 --> 01:21:00,329 so it makes sense to have him here later. 1529 01:21:00,329 --> 01:21:04,880 Right, but I'm saying up there in the snow, 1530 01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:06,880 when there is snow, 1531 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:08,880 should he be able to come in early? 1532 01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:10,880 Maybe they could address that 1533 01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:12,880 and have him come in earlier 1534 01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:13,880 or have him pay more time. 1535 01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:15,880 To be honest, 1536 01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:17,880 the way I see it is that 1537 01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:22,069 we all know and keep saying to ourselves, 1538 01:21:22,069 --> 01:21:24,069 and it comes out in the meetings 1539 01:21:24,069 --> 01:21:25,069 every time we talk about this, 1540 01:21:25,069 --> 01:21:27,069 it's our building. 1541 01:21:27,069 --> 01:21:29,069 It's our responsibility to do the things. 1542 01:21:29,069 --> 01:21:31,069 I think we should just... 1543 01:21:31,069 --> 01:21:33,319 Let's ask this question. 1544 01:21:33,319 --> 01:21:35,319 If someone was to slip and fall out there 1545

hired Carol to take the trash 1601 01:23:59,510 --> 01:24:00,510 from here to there. 1602 01:24:00,510 --> 01:24:01,510 The town took care of that. 1603 01:24:01,510 --> 01:24:04,510 Why can't we take that $1,500 1604 01:24:04,510 --> 01:24:06,510 and hire someone? 1605 01:24:06,510 --> 01:24:07,510 Whether it's, 1606 01:24:07,510 --> 01:24:08,510 you put it out the van 1607 01:24:08,510 --> 01:24:09,510 or you get someone like Carol 1608 01:24:09,510 --> 01:24:10,510 that says, 1609 01:24:10,510 --> 01:24:11,539 eh, 1610 01:24:11,539 --> 01:24:16,520 An extra $1,500 a year, I'll take that money to come down and take care of the snow. 1611 01:24:17,239 --> 01:24:19,539 I'm not saying it's Carol or John or anybody else. 1612 01:24:19,659 --> 01:24:28,979 I'm just saying there's $1,500 that should be getting spent so our men can do what they need to do. 1613 01:24:30,300 --> 01:24:33,789 I'll tell you right now, it's costing us more than $1,500 to have Dave. 1614 01:24:34,109 --> 01:24:39,569 If you want to take our third guy and give him the $1,500 and put it towards us, go ahead. 1615 01:24:39,729 --> 01:24:40,270 But I'm just saying. 1616 01:24:40,710 --> 01:24:41,750 Good ways. 1617 01:24:42,729 --> 01:24:43,090 Yes. 1618 01:24:43,850 --> 01:24:47,630 If I said to you, geez, I've already heard this before. 1619 01:24:48,149 --> 01:24:50,550 Geez, Dave, we need to add some more stuff to you. 1620 01:24:50,550 --> 01:24:52,289 You go, okay, but then I can't do this. 1621 01:24:52,350 --> 01:24:54,149 We've already been down that road before. 1622 01:24:54,470 --> 01:24:58,500 You want me to do this, I can, but I can't do this. 1623 01:24:58,699 --> 01:25:00,079 It's definitely taking me off. 1624 01:25:03,329 --> 01:25:04,510 Go take care of the cemetery. 1625 01:25:04,710 --> 01:25:05,590 We're getting rid of the cemetery. 1626 01:25:05,729 --> 01:25:07,250 I thought you looked like you were a little more buff. 1627 01:25:07,250 --> 01:25:07,449 Right? 1628 01:25:07,750 --> 01:25:07,970 Yeah. 1629 01:25:08,229 --> 01:25:09,010 Not all that showy. 1630 01:25:09,010 --> 01:25:10,250 There's only so much we can do. 1631 01:25:10,789 --> 01:25:16,939 I don't want to, I know we're beating it up here, but it just, it's a thorn in my, 1632 01:25:17,039 --> 01:25:17,920 side with the school. 1633 01:25:18,300 --> 01:25:23,439 I'm not trying to throw them under the bus, but it's always when there's something that 1634 01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:25,659 needs to be done, it's our side. 1635 01:25:26,279 --> 01:25:28,880 It just always seems like, well, let the town look at it. 1636 01:25:28,939 --> 01:25:30,079 The sign, get the town. 1637 01:25:30,359 --> 01:25:31,539 Blacktop, get the town. 1638 01:25:31,699 --> 01:25:32,840 Snow removal, get the town. 1639 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,100 You know, it's always, what's the town going to do about it? 1640 01:25:36,340 --> 01:25:36,560 You know? 1641 01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:40,720 I mean, if there is a water leak, who's going to take care of that? 1642 01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:46,720 The person that's doing that should almost be at our direction anyways, because the, 1643 01:25:47,140 --> 01:25:51,119 the problem I was having was I would come down and get the parking lot cleaned up, and 1644 01:25:51,119 --> 01:25:56,300 then they'd snowball all the snow out into the parking lot, you know, the last two. 1645 01:25:56,380 --> 01:25:56,560 Right? 1646 01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:56,699 Right? 1647 01:25:56,699 --> 01:26:02,300 So, you know, if it snowed, he was here before me, and when I got here, I'd plow, and then 1648 01:26:02,300 --> 01:26:02,779 it was done. 1649 01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:04,840 Well, that goes back to what Burt used to say about the town. 1650 01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:10,720 Why can't we ask the school to hire somebody just for the snowball? 1651 01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:13,680 Maybe this guy they just hired doesn't know about this. 1652 01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:16,500 Hey, I got an extra, that's their dollar if I come here and do this. 1653 01:26:16,500 --> 01:26:17,319 There's a line item. 1654 01:26:17,460 --> 01:26:18,640 Not, not janitor. 1655 01:26:18,899 --> 01:26:21,319 Does she actually know that there's a line item for $1,500? 1656 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:22,800 I don't know. 1657 01:26:23,140 --> 01:26:28,119 I know that when I talked to Maya, I actually brought it up. 1658 01:26:32,220 --> 01:26:34,460 They may not have known originally. 1659 01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:40,260 See, we used to have, there used to be a, kind of like a contract. 1660 01:26:43,670 --> 01:26:44,050 That's right. 1661 01:26:44,130 --> 01:26:46,010 I was going to say it was never an issue then. 1662 01:26:46,109 --> 01:26:46,350 Right. 1663 01:26:46,350 --> 01:26:48,529 There was a janitor here for like 20 years. 1664 01:26:48,670 --> 01:26:49,050 That's right. 1665 01:26:49,229 --> 01:26:51,229 He wasn't, he was not the janitor. 1666 01:26:51,390 --> 01:26:52,210 No, that was me. 1667 01:26:52,329 --> 01:26:53,050 I lived with him. 1668 01:26:53,050 --> 01:26:53,369 Yes. 1669 01:26:53,369 --> 01:26:54,229 So I've come down here. 1670 01:26:54,529 --> 01:26:54,649 Yep. 1671 01:26:54,829 --> 01:26:54,869 Yep. 1672 01:26:54,869 --> 01:26:54,890 Yep. 1673 01:26:54,890 --> 01:26:54,909 Yep. 1674 01:26:54,909 --> 01:26:54,930 Yep. 1675 01:26:54,930 --> 01:26:54,949 Yep. 1676 01:26:54,949 --> 01:26:54,970 Yep. 1677 01:26:54,970 --> 01:26:54,989 Yep. 1678 01:26:54,989 --> 01:26:55,010 Yep. 1679 01:26:55,010 --> 01:26:55,029 Yep. 1680 01:26:55,029 --> 01:26:55,050 Yep. 1681 01:26:55,050 --> 01:26:55,069 Yep. 1682 01:26:55,069 --> 01:26:55,109 Yep. 1683 01:26:55,109 --> 01:27:00,710 I don't know the rules of, versus mass on all these things, but I mean, Carson, their 1684 01:27:00,710 --> 01:27:02,729 janitor used to do all of that. 1685 01:27:03,130 --> 01:27:08,170 He did the town field, and he did the, the snow removal, you know, it's changed, I understand 1686 01:27:08,170 --> 01:27:12,909 that, but I'm saying that if the money's available, and it's just sitting there, and 1687 01:27:12,909 --> 01:27:18,149 you're over there doing the job, or Jim's trying to get rid of the water, which is great, 1688 01:27:18,250 --> 01:27:23,229 that's volunteering, that's great, but I'm saying that we go back to liability, you know? 1689 01:27:23,229 --> 01:27:24,989 Well, I will say that there are... 1690 01:27:24,989 --> 01:27:28,210 I mean, I was on the road in here the other night, I was going around, and trying to 1691 01:27:28,210 --> 01:27:35,600 stop, around, and trying to shovel, I'm not keeping up with it, but there was still three 1692 01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:40,739 inches or so, and I had to shovel every time, and I mean, somebody could obviously fall, 1693 01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:43,840 you know, you almost needed someone to stand in your shovel. 1694 01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:44,300 You did. 1695 01:27:44,500 --> 01:27:45,779 I shoveled my paper. 1696 01:27:45,779 --> 01:27:48,340 More like maintenance men, not janitors. 1697 01:27:48,939 --> 01:27:49,060 Yeah. 1698 01:27:49,159 --> 01:27:51,779 No, maintenance men encompasses the janitor aspect of it. 1699 01:27:51,779 --> 01:27:51,960 Right. 1700 01:27:52,020 --> 01:27:52,699 But it's just more... 1701 01:27:52,699 --> 01:27:53,800 Oh, yeah, they'd walk by. 1702 01:27:54,020 --> 01:27:55,899 And they'd be able to mow the lawn, and they'd be able to do snow. 1703 01:27:55,899 --> 01:27:58,579 Yeah, this guy that got out is really good. 1704 01:27:58,579 --> 01:27:59,739 He'd paint the building. 1705 01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:03,779 The problem is, is where we're at, they can't find anybody to be here. 1706 01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:08,699 They can't find anybody that would last long, so they kind of let them pick their own hours. 1707 01:28:09,079 --> 01:28:13,899 Well, that's why I wondered if it were working around his schedule, or does he know that it's available? 1708 01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:21,199 Can we ask the school board, like in September, you need to hire someone to do snow blowing 1709 01:28:21,199 --> 01:28:23,699 at four in the morning, or five in the morning? 1710 01:28:23,699 --> 01:28:25,960 At least spend the money that you have available to spend. 1711 01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:28,960 Well, I'd like to just ask the principal, say, does... 1712 01:28:29,279 --> 01:28:33,619 Yeah, these hours that you gave them, is that because that's what we said we were going to do? 1713 01:28:33,619 --> 01:28:36,079 Or could you talk to them and say, could you come in early? 1714 01:28:36,079 --> 01:28:38,039 Maybe the guy said, yeah, I can do that. 1715 01:28:38,039 --> 01:28:44,039 Somebody that's coming here already, maybe they didn't go in with the $1,500, but somebody that's going 1716 01:28:44,039 --> 01:28:49,199 to have to come here specifically to do that job, as demanding as it could be in a winter 1717 01:28:49,199 --> 01:28:51,680 like this winter, I mean, that's almost every day. 1718 01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:51,800 Yeah. 1719 01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:55,800 And then you need to know, like, the library's open on Saturdays, 1720 01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:58,560 so you have to make sure that that's accessible. 1721 01:28:58,560 --> 01:28:58,800 Mm-hmm. 1722 01:28:58,800 --> 01:28:58,859 And then you need to know, like, the library's open on Saturdays, so you have to make sure that that's accessible. 1723 01:28:58,859 --> 01:28:58,920 Mm-hmm. 1724 01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:06,579 And then they have Sunday, we have a basketball crew, I forget what night we have, pickleball. 1725 01:29:06,579 --> 01:29:07,880 Yeah, one day. 1726 01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:11,079 So you have to know that these things have to be done. 1727 01:29:11,079 --> 01:29:11,380 Right. 1728 01:29:11,380 --> 01:29:16,220 We live in the northeast, you think it would be automatic that you need someone to remove the snow. 1729 01:29:16,220 --> 01:29:17,199 Right. 1730 01:29:17,199 --> 01:29:19,180 Well, we did before, that's what I'm saying. 1731 01:29:19,180 --> 01:29:19,899 There was... 1732 01:29:19,899 --> 01:29:24,539 So Rich, Rich did it the best by far. 1733 01:29:24,539 --> 01:29:24,779 Right. 1734 01:29:24,779 --> 01:29:28,899 He was here, he knew he had to be here, he knew what the schedules of everybody were. 1735 01:29:28,899 --> 01:29:44,060 And since then, you know, a lot of times it gets let go, especially those, you know, Saturdays or days when there's no school, the lorry's open, you know, it hasn't been getting done. 1736 01:29:44,060 --> 01:29:45,340 But, yeah, it can be moved forward, yeah. 1737 01:29:45,340 --> 01:29:53,180 Yeah, I mean, I was calling the last janitor to say, hey, you know, you got to get there, because that's what the principal had wanted me to do, but he started saying he couldn't be here, and, I mean, it takes more than I could realize, but that's it. 1738 01:29:53,180 --> 01:29:53,779 Can we move on to the next question? 1739 01:29:53,779 --> 01:29:53,859 Yeah. 1740 01:29:53,859 --> 01:29:53,920

01:30:51,560 --> 01:31:00,680 He called a couple weeks ago and asked if he could move down to the fill-in position 1778 01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:07,140 and let Joey Ficini take the full time with Carol. 1779 01:31:08,229 --> 01:31:10,590 I said I'd have to bring it up to the board. 1780 01:31:10,810 --> 01:31:11,029 Yes. 1781 01:31:11,029 --> 01:31:18,720 Buzz would like to fill in, and we also have Steve Senecal as a fill-in, and Carol usually 1782 01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:23,260 calls one or the other to fill in if Joey can't, so is there any problem with that? 1783 01:31:23,439 --> 01:31:23,659 No. 1784 01:31:24,100 --> 01:31:24,239 No. 1785 01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:28,859 And Buzz said he'd like to come down and visit sometime, because he misses the people, too. 1786 01:31:29,619 --> 01:31:31,300 He's kind of like the social greeter. 1787 01:31:31,300 --> 01:31:33,140 That's what, hang on, I'm going to take it away from him. 1788 01:31:33,260 --> 01:31:33,460 Yeah. 1789

the electrical on Jepson. 1800 01:32:04,500 --> 01:32:09,020 I'm sure once the time comes, Dave will be right on it, making sure they're not digging 1801 01:32:09,020 --> 01:32:10,100 up the road or whatever. 1802 01:32:10,100 --> 01:32:12,779 Before I left, I had a message about that. 1803 01:32:18,430 --> 01:32:21,829 To information given to the people or you? 1804 01:32:22,189 --> 01:32:24,939 From me, but from the resident that's there. 1805 01:32:25,159 --> 01:32:25,479 Right. 1806 01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:26,760 So it's not going to go underground. 1807 01:32:27,180 --> 01:32:29,100 Right. 1808 01:32:29,100 --> 01:32:29,199 Right. 1809 01:32:29,579 --> 01:32:32,829 I just don't understand. 1810 01:32:32,949 --> 01:32:33,029 Why? 1811 01:32:33,229 --> 01:32:35,729 We'll be working on the poles, if you've got anything to do with it. 1812 01:32:35,729 --> 01:32:35,829 Right. 1813 01:32:36,170 --> 01:32:39,369 But I will contact Grinnell Power. 1814 01:32:40,319 --> 01:32:40,659 Yes.

01:32:48,520 Nope. 1819 01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:49,180 I think it was good. 1820 01:32:50,079 --> 01:32:57,130 The other issue was a lot of questions about the road, which we're going to look into, 1821 01:32:57,270 --> 01:32:57,449 right? 1822 01:32:57,529 --> 01:32:58,569 We're going to put some bids out. 1823 01:32:59,630 --> 01:33:03,470 So how soon should I be looking at financing for these projects? 1824 01:33:03,970 --> 01:33:08,560 I would assume it's going to happen at some point this summer, so. 1825 01:33:08,659 --> 01:33:18,149 We'll work with Lori, get in touch with her and say, hey, we've got to have money. 1826 01:33:18,329 --> 01:33:19,909 How fast do you think they'll do the bidding? 1827 01:33:20,449 --> 01:33:23,069 Like, how fast do you think when you reach out, they're going to do that? 1828 01:33:23,310 --> 01:33:24,890 Well, Lori and I, we can set a date. 1829 01:33:25,130 --> 01:33:27,359 I mean, we set a date. 1830 01:33:27,699 --> 01:33:34,289 We send out the information for weeks to get it done. 1831 01:33:34,569 --> 01:33:35,829 Typically, how many bidders? 1832 01:33:36,130 --> 01:33:36,369 Two. 1833 01:33:36,489 --> 01:33:36,689 Two. 1834

somebody wants to do it. 1838 01:33:47,699 --> 01:33:49,399 Warner's the one you got the numbers from, right? 1839 01:33:49,500 --> 01:33:49,720 Yeah. 1840 01:33:49,979 --> 01:33:50,220 Right. 1841 01:33:50,220 --> 01:33:54,100 Which would be nice if we could reach out to them and say, hey, if you can honor your quotes. 1842 01:33:54,359 --> 01:33:54,380 Yeah. 1843 01:33:54,380 --> 01:33:56,060 And I mean, if you want me to do this. 1844 01:33:56,060 --> 01:33:57,319 Then I'd be happy to do that. 1845 01:33:57,520 --> 01:33:59,680 If this, I don't think it's going to get any lower. 1846 01:34:00,039 --> 01:34:00,140 I don't know. 1847 01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:03,939 I mean, I'm a little concerned with the trace oil jump up. 1848 01:34:04,279 --> 01:34:09,880 It specifically says right on the quote that, you know, this is as November comes. 1849 01:34:11,100 --> 01:34:16,680 Every single quote I get, it says pat on it. 1850 01:34:16,979 --> 01:34:19,079 They may be happy to lock in the work. 1851 01:34:20,510 --> 01:34:21,529 Subject to change. 1852 01:34:21,670 --> 01:34:21,890 Yeah. 1853 01:34:21,890 --> 01:34:22,930 Oh, yeah. 1854 01:34:23,010 --> 01:34:27,430 You can quote a $20,000 piece of material and it comes in as $25,000. 1855 01:34:27,789 --> 01:34:28,210 What else? 1856 01:34:28,310 --> 01:34:29,350 I'm telling me everything. 1857 01:34:29,609 --> 01:34:29,850 Okay. 1858 01:34:30,029 --> 01:34:31,369 And seem to run smoothly. 1859 01:34:31,489 --> 01:34:32,130 Very quiet. 1860 01:34:32,289 --> 01:34:33,010 Very organized. 1861 01:34:33,350 --> 01:34:33,689 Everybody. 1862 01:34:33,949 --> 01:34:36,510 JP did good with running the show. 1863 01:34:36,649 --> 01:34:36,949 Yeah, really. 1864 01:34:37,109 --> 01:34:37,810 He seemed civil. 1865 01:34:38,310 --> 01:34:38,649 He did. 1866 01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:42,000 We can be civil people. 1867 01:34:42,359 --> 01:34:42,760 We have to. 1868 01:34:43,859 --> 01:34:46,560 I'd like to see bigger attendance. 1869 01:34:48,119 --> 01:34:50,119 Yeah, well, that wasn't bad. 1870 01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:51,840 More than usual. 1871 01:34:52,199 --> 01:34:52,300 Yeah. 1872 01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:56,840 I was surprised with the school site meeting. 1873 01:34:57,680 --> 01:34:58,479 Very quiet. 1874 01:34:59,359 --> 01:35:00,079 Boom, boom, boom. 1875 01:35:00,079 --> 01:35:02,680 Yeah, well, there's a lot of confusion. 1876 01:35:02,939 --> 01:35:03,880 You don't really need to. 1877 01:35:04,140 --> 01:35:04,840 It's confusing. 1878 01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:05,939 It's confusing. 1879 01:35:05,939 --> 01:35:07,180 Nobody wants to ask the question. 1880 01:35:07,180 --> 01:35:12,060 I think they purposely fudged the presentation so they're just like, oh, yeah, whatever. 1881 01:35:12,060 --> 01:35:16,319 So the school ended up for years and didn't understand anything they were describing. 1882 01:35:16,539 --> 01:35:16,680 Right. 1883 01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:16,939 Ever. 1884 01:35:17,159 --> 01:35:17,359 Right. 1885 01:35:17,359 --> 01:35:19,380 You can't understand their formulas or anything. 1886 01:35:19,539 --> 01:35:19,680 No. 1887 01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:24,960 But now it's a different system and they explained it quite well, I thought. 1888 01:35:25,100 --> 01:35:26,800 I thought it was cool the state reps were there, too. 1889 01:35:26,899 --> 01:35:27,439 That was nice. 1890 01:35:27,439 --> 01:35:32,439 The only thing I didn't like is when they go from pennies to percent. 1891 01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:32,819 Percents. 1892 01:35:33,340 --> 01:35:36,779 So you go from nine cents to 15%. 1893 01:35:36,779 --> 01:35:37,520 That's what I was going to say. 1894 01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:43,380 Stick to one or the other because it almost like they're trying to make things sound good. 1895 01:35:43,560 --> 01:35:43,800 Yes. 1896 01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:44,399 Tell the truth. 1897 01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:44,739 Yeah. 1898 01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:46,159 That's how they teach math today. 1899 01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:47,920 That's where I didn't understand. 1900 01:35:48,020 --> 01:35:48,579 Tell me percent. 1901 01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:48,840 Yeah. 1902 01:35:48,979 --> 01:35:50,439 Any percent? 1903 01:35:50,659 --> 01:35:50,819 No. 1904 01:35:50,920 --> 01:35:51,439 Oh, okay. 1905 01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:52,020 That's fine. 1906 01:35:52,020 --> 01:35:52,600 That's why I asked. 1907 01:35:52,600 --> 01:35:54,319 It says 15% right here. 1908 01:35:54,460 --> 01:35:54,939 What's that mean? 1909 01:35:55,060 --> 01:35:56,319 Well, because we have less students. 1910 01:35:56,439 --> 01:35:56,699 Oh, yeah. 1911 01:35:56,779 --> 01:35:57,220 That's fine. 1912 01:35:57,460 --> 01:35:57,659 Yeah. 1913 01:35:57,659 --> 01:35:59,840 They said nine cents. 1914 01:36:00,180 --> 01:36:00,300 Yeah. 1915 01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:02,810 I'm going to raise my hand. 1916 01:36:03,189 --> 01:36:04,970 Did you say nine percent? 1917 01:36:05,130 --> 01:36:05,390 Yeah. 1918 01:36:05,609 --> 01:36:06,510 Because it was quick. 1919 01:36:06,649 --> 01:36:06,970 Right. 1920 01:36:07,529 --> 01:36:08,409 And he said, oh, no. 1921 01:36:08,510 --> 01:36:08,810 No, no. 1922 01:36:08,909 --> 01:36:09,270 Of course. 1923 01:36:09,449 --> 01:36:10,449 But he explained it. 1924 01:36:10,550 --> 01:36:10,789 That's fine. 1925 01:36:10,789 --> 01:36:11,930 He added out nine cents. 1926 01:36:11,949 --> 01:36:12,130 Right. 1927 01:36:12,550 --> 01:36:12,930 And I'm thinking. 1928 01:36:13,449 --> 01:36:14,369 But that was what? 1929 01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:15,670 Three questions. 1930 01:36:17,140 --> 01:36:17,460 What's that? 1931 01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:18,119 Yeah. 1932 01:36:19,550 --> 01:36:20,189 I mean, seriously. 1933 01:36:20,329 --> 01:36:20,750 Who does that? 1934 01:36:27,619 --> 01:36:28,720 Auditor's recommendation. 1935 01:36:28,939 --> 01:36:29,520 That's Lori. 1936 01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:35,479 So we're still working to finalize our con balance figures. 1937 01:36:36,770 --> 01:36:39,390 We don't really know where that is yet. 1938 01:36:39,390 --> 01:36:42,010 But he did leave me with several recommendations. 1939 01:36:42,149 --> 01:36:45,109 For me to work on this year. 1940 01:36:45,590 --> 01:36:48,500 And then ideas when we're talking. 1941 01:36:52,039 --> 01:36:57,229 He wants me to continue accounts and merge them into one big account. 1942 01:36:57,880 --> 01:37:19,609 His thought is we may not have forms so that I could. 1943 01:37:25,430 --> 01:37:27,920 He recommended that we change how we. 1944 01:37:29,979 --> 01:37:30,739 The delinquent tax. 1945 01:37:36,850 --> 01:37:37,689 Budget income. 1946 01:37:40,050 --> 01:37:40,970 And expense of what. 1947 01:37:47,739 --> 01:37:48,640 Through taxation. 1948 01:37:49,220 --> 01:37:51,020 Filling permits. 1949 01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:56,979 So if somebody pays 300 bucks. 1950 01:37:58,430 --> 01:38:01,229 150 of it in this account over here to pay Deb. 1951 01:38:02,930 --> 01:38:04,170 But then I'm not using it. 1952 01:38:04,170 --> 01:38:05,250 Because we're paying Deb. 1953 01:38:05,350 --> 01:38:07,250 Over here on this expense account. 1954 01:38:07,590 --> 01:38:09,989 And it's not working. 1955 01:38:09,989 --> 01:38:13,010 So instead of budgeting the plus and the minus. 1956 01:38:13,350 --> 01:38:15,569 He said there really isn't any need to budget it. 1957 01:38:15,569 --> 01:38:19,729 Because it's going to come out of this pot over here from the permit. 1958 01:38:21,939 --> 01:38:27,039 Only budget the difference as income. 1959 01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:28,060 Right. 1960 01:38:28,060 --> 01:38:35,399 And the like the delinquent tax collector receives 5% of the penalty that comes in from tax. 1961 01:38:35,680 --> 01:38:38,579 So instead of budgeting the whole thing. 1962 01:38:38,579 --> 01:38:38,779 So you don't have to budget for it. 1963 01:38:38,779 --> 01:38:40,319 Paying out the whole thing. 1964 01:38:40,319 --> 01:38:45,609 We only collect 8% penalty and we pay her 5%. 1965 01:38:45,609 --> 01:38:50,789 By rights we really only need to budget the 3% that the town is going to keep as income. 1966 01:38:52,260 --> 01:38:53,140 And not do the. 1967 01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:56,159 He said sometimes do it the way we're doing it. 1968 01:38:56,159 --> 01:38:58,439 And it's not a bad thing. 1969 01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:00,539 But it's just not so clean. 1970 01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:01,680 Now what about the. 1971 01:39:02,100 --> 01:39:09,579 With it. 1972 01:39:09,579 --> 01:39:16,359 Because to me I'm used to having cemetery money here library money here. 1973 01:39:16,359 --> 01:39:20,189 And you know what he's saying is. 1974 01:39:20,189 --> 01:39:21,810 I'm already doing it. 1975 01:39:21,810 --> 01:39:24,010 Dave doesn't have his own account. 1976 01:39:24,010 --> 01:39:26,970 And yet all of his highway funds are tracked separately. 1977 01:39:26,970 --> 01:39:27,430 Right. 1978 01:39:27,430 --> 01:39:29,149 So we're doing it. 1979 01:39:29,149 --> 01:39:35,350 I just have to get used to that idea of you know Dave's money is totally separate in the computer. 1980 01:39:35,350 --> 01:39:38,680 Even though it's already in my pot. 1981 01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:45,279 And we need to look at that same way with cemetery and the other funds. 1982 01:39:45,279 --> 01:40:00,670 So I'm closing accounts and putting them stale checks that had on cash for years. 1983 01:40:00,670 --> 01:40:01,390 I have to send them. 1984 01:40:01,390 --> 01:40:12,850 We know we are going to be doing regularly like every five years. 1985 01:40:12,850 --> 01:40:15,270 Dave likes to do a paving project. 1986 01:40:15,270 --> 01:40:21,590 He thought we should set up a highway capital for five years. 1987 01:40:21,590 --> 01:40:27,609 You're going to need 200,000 and you just put 40,000 in every year and use your money. 1988 01:40:27,609 --> 01:40:30,649 You're getting interest on your money and then you're using your money. 1989 01:40:30,649 --> 01:40:56,600 And he's feeling like interest rates are really was great when you know borrowing to buy a new truck. 1990 01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:58,649 It's not something we have to do. 1991 01:40:58,649 --> 01:41:00,789 He's saying I mentioned that didn't we. 1992 01:41:00,789 --> 01:41:01,630 Some more of that. 1993 01:41:01,630 --> 01:41:04,779 Well fun yeah but. 1994 01:41:04,779 --> 01:41:16,789 That's nice but you're going to all of a sudden one year you're going to have to put in like. 1995 01:41:16,789 --> 01:41:19,029 Right because you're still doing the budget. 1996 01:41:19,029 --> 01:41:22,109 You have to check seal projects 200 and now that's 400. 1997 01:41:22,109 --> 01:41:29,130 So you're going to have a year with like 350,000 on top of the budget to start gaining you know. 1998 01:41:29,130 --> 01:41:30,470 Right because we're doing it now. 1999 01:41:30,470 --> 01:41:31,590 I guess we can do it in five years but. 2000 01:41:31,590 --> 01:41:34,229 And to do it and to plan for it is hard. 2001 01:41:34,229 --> 01:41:35,930 Even if we just plan for one or. 2002 01:41:35,930 --> 01:41:38,310 I'm actually surprised you said interest rates aren't going to go down. 2003 01:41:38,310 --> 01:41:40,170 They just went down. 2004 01:41:40,170 --> 01:41:40,890 Well. 2005 01:41:40,890 --> 01:41:46,850 He just kind of figured as a whole this is where he thinks it would be a good way to go. 2006 01:41:46,850 --> 01:41:54,020 It's just something to think about but not a requirement. 2007 01:41:54,020 --> 01:41:54,739 Easier. 2008 01:41:54,739 --> 01:41:56,449 Good. 2009 01:41:56,449 --> 01:41:56,949 Yeah. 2010 01:41:56,949 --> 01:41:57,449 Yes. 2011 01:41:57,449 --> 01:41:57,949 Yep. 2012 01:41:57,949 --> 01:42:01,300 Yeah. 2013 01:42:01,300 --> 01:42:08,739 Um correspondence signed certificate of no suit pending for the 2025 grand list. 2014 01:42:08,739 --> 01:42:09,859 Yes. 2015 01:42:09,859 --> 01:42:13,239 So you'd like to sign on the right hand side there. 2016 01:42:13,239 --> 01:42:14,680 All of you get to sign. 2017 01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:15,939 No suit pending. 2018 01:42:15,939 --> 01:42:16,859 Make a motion. 2019 01:42:16,859 --> 01:42:17,739 Wow. 2020 01:42:17,739 --> 01:42:18,340 Motion agreed. 2021 01:42:18,340 --> 01:42:18,840 Motion agreed. 2022 01:42:43,560 --> 01:42:50,079 And so Hunter Excavation wanted to have permission and it's kind of a moot point now but we should 2023 01:42:50,079 --> 01:42:58,090 still sign it to be able to plow the roads like in the winter where he was doing his 2024 01:42:58,090 --> 01:42:59,279 logging. 2025 01:42:59,279 --> 01:43:00,279 They already did plow the roads. 2026 01:43:00,279 --> 01:43:06,720 And so he signed this like a month ago but we didn't have a meeting and so now here we 2027 01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:07,720 are. 2028 01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:14,590 Um there was an attendant back then when he was doing the logging and he paid for recording 2029 01:43:14,590 --> 01:43:15,590 fee and everything. 2030 01:43:15,590 --> 01:43:16,590 He paid for the recording fee. 2031 01:43:16,590 --> 01:43:17,590 Thank you. 2032 01:43:17,590 --> 01:43:20,000 Is this the right way to plow? 2033 01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:21,000 Can we talk about the insurance we need? 2034 01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:22,000 What about the road being plowed? 2035 01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:23,000 Example. 2036 01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:24,000 Take it. 2037 01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:25,000 Certificate of insurance and everything. 2038 01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:26,000 Yep. 2039 01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:29,000 Speaking of this plowing, are there somebody plowing above Wally Dolly's? 2040 01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:30,659 Is that road being plowed? 2041 01:43:30,659 --> 01:43:33,779 I haven't gone over there to say if it is. 2042 01:43:33,779 --> 01:43:34,779 Have you noticed? 2043 01:43:34,779 --> 01:43:36,060 Hit and miss. 2044 01:43:36,060 --> 01:43:39,300 Some dates it is and other times it's not. 2045 01:43:39,300 --> 01:43:41,800 Well if somebody's plowing we really should have them. 2046 01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:46,279 I know if someone goes up there, there's vehicle tracks, but I don't know who just trail them 2047 01:43:46,279 --> 01:43:47,220 up there during the winter time. 2048 01:43:47,220 --> 01:43:49,380 That's on the first roof up here. 2049 01:43:49,380 --> 01:43:49,880 It's on the first roof up here. 2050 01:43:50,119 --> 01:44:00,119 It's not fair to Hunter or the other two that have their certificate of insurance and liability insurance that they're plowing. 2051 01:44:00,119 --> 01:44:02,119 Is that Stephanie's place? 2052 01:44:02,119 --> 01:44:03,149 That's where we stopped. 2053 01:44:03,149 --> 01:44:05,149 Beyond Stephanie's place, yeah. 2054 01:44:05,149 --> 01:44:11,140 Well, she goes all the way to Shank Grove. Stephanie does. Her land does. 2055 01:44:11,140 --> 01:44:15,140 Yeah, her land does, but you only plow Wally Doley's old house. 2056 01:44:15,140 --> 01:44:18,140 It's going to always be Wally Doley's. 2057 01:44:18,140 --> 01:44:21,140 Yeah, it stops at Wally's house. That's internal. 2058 01:44:21,140 --> 01:44:22,140 Just like Tim and Ray. 2059 01:44:22,140 --> 01:44:25,140 Tim and Ray, yeah. They still live behind me, right? 2060 01:44:25,140 --> 01:44:30,619 Yep. It's up a town away. 2061 01:44:30,619 --> 01:44:37,779 We're going to spill excess weight permit from Belco to sign. 2062 01:44:37,779 --> 01:44:45,569 To sign.

Another one was elected, but she hasn't taken her oath yet, so I don't know where that is standing. 2069 01:45:42,130 --> 01:45:44,130 She may not know. 2070 01:45:44,130 --> 01:45:45,420 Maybe. 2071 01:45:45,420 --> 01:45:47,420 She may not know, but she has to call her. 2072 01:45:47,420 --> 01:45:51,479 If she does though, if she accepts it, it's all right. 2073 01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:52,479 We'll have two Listers. 2074 01:45:52,479 --> 01:45:55,479 We have two Listers.

This is hourly. Oh okay its hourly yeah 2133 01:50:12,859 --> 01:50:16,060 and they shouldn't be doing that much 2134 01:50:16,060 --> 01:50:25,199 anyways because. Well this is kind of a busy time, its a very busy time and theres a timeline that stuff has to be done by April 1st. 2135 01:50:25,199 --> 01:50:28,539 and then you have so long to file your abstract and then you bring out your current contract. 2136 01:50:28,699 --> 01:50:35,550 lists are all dates but the assessments are all pretty much installed just new stuff would be 2137 01:50:35,550 --> 01:50:43,890 assessed okay yeah they're they're done except yeah except for the appraisal like our grand list 2138 01:50:43,890 --> 01:50:52,029 is already done but the new stuff the buildings right now if something transferred and it's uh 2139 01:50:52,029 --> 01:50:58,029 we have it assessed for say ten thousand and sold for a hundred thousand whoa we better take a look 2140 01:50:58,029 --> 01:51:05,869 at that what is there that was missed is there an addition or somebody just had cash yeah they were 2141 01:51:05,869 --> 01:51:16,829 lucky this is this is where i think hiring a ceo for all new construction we don't have the the 2142 01:51:16,829 --> 01:51:28,180 resources for that if not a building you walk through you walk through when it's completely done 2143 01:51:29,489 --> 01:51:36,529 that's the listers do that they have they have their permit and they will look at it this year oh 2144 01:51:36,529 --> 01:51:38,449 it's they they it's done 2145 01:51:38,529 --> 01:51:44,529 done yet so they'll put it on the list to go back next year ceos are for more like health and safety 2146 01:51:44,529 --> 01:51:52,420 so technically that's exactly what a uh that's what they're that's what we're looking to do 2147 01:51:52,420 --> 01:51:57,220 us for ceos this is exactly what you just described is all you really need to have a 2148 01:51:57,220 --> 01:52:04,739 certificate of occupancy you don't have to call it can you say yeah i don't think we want to have 2149 01:52:04,739 --> 01:52:08,579 anything that says this building is safe it's safe to move 2150 01:52:08,819 --> 01:52:15,699 to it is needed that way for the plan yeah it generates a whole layer of public employees 2151 01:52:17,380 --> 01:52:24,500 i'd love to see a district-wide uh building inspector i think that would be great but 2152 01:52:24,500 --> 01:52:30,420 you'll never see that right seems like there's be enough work for them not not in stanford or 2153 01:52:30,420 --> 01:52:40,739 reedsboro why you could keep someone busy so to go along with this numeric right now i'm the assessor 2154 01:52:40,899 --> 01:52:48,949 a clerk is doing everything so if we get two or three listers I suggest one of 2155 01:52:48,949 --> 01:53:06,199 them do the assessing yeah but at this point we can we have to sign this 2156 01:53:06,199 --> 01:53:17,649 copy I think we should that's that was a good job yeah I don't know it 2157 01:53:17,649 --> 01:53:42,090 she actually wants sometimes in the heat of the yeah there is right to her did 2158 01:53:42,090 --> 01:53:50,859 did you maybe one pack oh this there's a chart here town agreement 2159 01:53:50,859 --> 01:54:03,149 checklist what NIMAR does and what the municipality will do oh sure yeah 2160 01:54:03,930 --> 01:54:07,779 do you want to sign this 2161 01:54:07,779 --> 01:54:16,100 their monthly their hourly rate will be 95 dollars per hour 47.50 per hour for travel 2162 01:54:17,159 --> 01:54:22,199 and if they go beyond state boards and to superior court it's 145 dollars an hour 2163 01:54:24,149 --> 01:54:28,420 and when you have them do something is there a round of hours that they put into it 2164 01:54:29,779 --> 01:54:36,979 no what was the question they just didn't know if they had to cancel any time no we use them they 2165 01:54:36,979 --> 01:54:42,819 get paid for four hours he's been employed for how long one year one year till december 31st so 2166 01:54:42,819 --> 01:54:49,300 we don't have to give them the work we can say right but you're securing them right right right 2167 01:54:50,180 --> 01:54:56,180 gets her a year to get trying to get ready yeah all of her so yeah motion to sign 2168 01:55:00,579 --> 01:55:03,220 is either an editor an outfit in boston or something right 2169 01:55:04,020 --> 01:55:06,899 they don't right and we we didn't even have anybody come 2170 01:55:06,979 --> 01:55:17,399 in when we sent it out so uh what's the training costs for the listeners like 2171 01:55:18,289 --> 01:55:35,970 um it's mostly by the state so the only the only thing which we discussed with you in training 2172 01:55:35,970 --> 01:55:51,079 is part of the state part of our list of positions right important position you have two and we're 2173 01:55:51,079 --> 01:56:26,359 looking dead well if kristen takes it if she doesn't then you'll be on discussion with who's that 2174 01:56:28,210 --> 01:56:28,369 yeah 2175 01:56:32,949 --> 01:56:46,130 want to clarify this with her a lister with a number a number of necessarily 2176 01:56:51,829 --> 01:56:58,279 you can go in and do the values so who would sign off on the green listing these are 2177 01:57:02,420 --> 01:57:21,000 who would defend it she wants to meet with us and sign that number contract 2178 01:57:22,199 --> 01:57:42,050 you guys used to have a pretty big mr department those three people that consistently did it for a 2179 01:57:42,050 --> 01:57:42,529 while 2180 01:57:42,529 --> 01:57:47,489 three weeks i think so that's the that's the key to his consistency over time 2181 01:57:48,369 --> 01:57:51,649 but when i first started it was paper 2182 01:57:56,500 --> 01:58:00,659 and to make it worth their while though you know nobody wants to come forward and do the 2183 01:58:00,659 --> 01:58:06,579 job if it ain't going to be worth doing that so um we have to talk about what 2184 01:58:09,880 --> 01:58:17,319 dedicated station or something or a computer so that we're not there arguing with you know our 2185 01:58:17,560 --> 01:58:24,449 people are competing for space

worked around attorneys came in and i got the boot old business um i don't think 2189 01:59:05,800 --> 01:59:10,760 it would have been a second but i don't think people did you do to sign 2190 01:59:16,340 --> 01:59:43,109 old business uh new business okay um new business the select board received a letter from someone 2191 01:59:45,430 --> 01:59:52,630 saying that the open meeting law was
