You will notice that all our meetings are recorded and this is to aid with the 6 00:00:36,899 --> 00:00:42,420 summarization of the minutes. Visitors are welcome and we allow five minutes of comments per visitor 7 00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:48,179 and 15 minutes per topic.

Select board members present are Nancy Besheka, Chad Gremlin, John Dunn, Will there be any adding 9 00:00:57,460 --> 00:01:09,409 of items or removing items from tonight's agenda? Any, yeah, Laurie's shaking her head so maybe there is, 10 00:01:09,409 --> 00:01:10,209 maybe there's not. 11 00:01:11,810 --> 00:01:18,689 Well the only thing I can ask would be if you guys were notified about the excavators going 12 00:01:18,689 --> 00:01:27,969 up 264 and closing off that bridge work. Bridge work, yes. I don't believe the camera 13 00:01:33,969 --> 00:01:37,969 Will there be any adjustments to the agenda such as changing the order of items? 14 00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:50,590 Jed is recording tonight's meeting for his YouTube video. Hearing of visitors, Cindy? 15 00:01:51,230 --> 00:01:51,870 We're here first. 16 00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:54,750 Oh, okay. Yep, go ahead then. 17 00:01:54,750 --> 00:01:55,390 For me? 18 00:01:55,390 --> 00:01:55,709 Yeah. 19 00:01:55,709 --> 00:01:56,349 No, I don't have anything. 20 00:01:56,349 --> 00:01:56,909 You don't have anything? 21 00:01:56,909 --> 00:01:57,310 No. 22 00:01:57,310 --> 00:01:59,230 Okay, well then I can take up some of that. 23 00:01:59,230 --> 00:01:59,549 Okay. 24 00:01:59,549 --> 00:02:02,750 I'm going to apply it one more time, okay, only because I promise. 25 00:02:02,750 --> 00:02:03,709 Well, I got a list. 26 00:02:03,709 --> 00:02:05,790 I got a list. 27 00:02:05,790 --> 00:02:06,590 I don't like a list. 28 00:02:06,590 --> 00:02:14,830 Very quick, very quick. So I did make a notation for, to take back to my board meeting at the end 29 00:02:14,830 --> 00:02:20,590 of the month of a group meeting of the select board, the library, the school board sometime in 30 00:02:20,590 --> 00:02:21,550 October, correct? 31 00:02:21,550 --> 00:02:21,789 Right. 32 00:02:21,789 --> 00:02:22,189 Okay, good. 33 00:02:22,189 --> 00:02:23,150 Very good. 34 00:02:23,150 --> 00:02:27,550 I will do that and I will get back to you as soon as I can on that, Nancy. 35 00:02:27,550 --> 00:02:30,669 Probably an off selectman's meeting. 36 00:02:31,870 --> 00:02:33,629 We wouldn't want it on the same night. 37 00:02:33,629 --> 00:02:34,430 Of course. 38 00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:34,750 Yeah. 39 00:02:34,750 --> 00:02:35,069 Yeah. 40 00:02:35,069 --> 00:02:35,310 Okay. 41 00:02:35,310 --> 00:02:35,789 Of course. 42 00:02:37,710 --> 00:02:47,150 The school board is also asking if November 3rd, 2026, the select board would be hiring 43 00:02:47,150 --> 00:02:48,590 a sheriff for voting day. 44 00:02:49,150 --> 00:02:50,590 They're not closing the school? 45 00:02:50,590 --> 00:02:52,030 We would prefer not to. 46 00:02:52,189 --> 00:02:59,409 And so would share that expense is something to think about because it is for November 47 00:02:59,409 --> 00:03:03,650 and I know it's not on your agenda so you can't make a decision per se tonight or anything. 48 00:03:04,289 --> 00:03:05,810 We've done that in the past. 49 00:03:05,810 --> 00:03:06,849 And we have. 50 00:03:06,849 --> 00:03:07,729 Very agreeable. 51 00:03:07,729 --> 00:03:08,530 So thank you. 52 00:03:08,530 --> 00:03:10,289 If you would consider that, it would be wonderful. 53 00:03:13,419 --> 00:03:15,659 This slide, you want to deal with it? 54 00:03:18,270 --> 00:03:20,430 You can't put it in the backyard, but we told you that. 55 00:03:20,430 --> 00:03:20,990 Yeah. 56 00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:21,550 Why? 57 00:03:21,550 --> 00:03:22,030 What happened? 58 00:03:22,030 --> 00:03:22,349 Why? 59 00:03:22,349 --> 00:03:23,150 So every couple, three years, the school has to, under, you know, you can't put it in the 60 00:03:23,150 --> 00:03:24,349 backyard, but we told you that. 61 00:03:24,349 --> 00:03:24,590 Yeah. 62 00:03:24,590 --> 00:03:24,669 Why? 63 00:03:24,669 --> 00:03:24,990 What happened? 64 00:03:24,990 --> 00:03:25,069 Why? 65 00:03:25,069 --> 00:03:26,030 So every couple, three years, the school has to, under, you know, you can't put it in the 66 00:03:26,030 --> 00:03:26,909 backyard, but we told you that. 67 00:03:26,909 --> 00:03:27,789 And so this would be the most effective solution for you. 68 00:03:27,789 --> 00:03:28,270 Yeah. 69 00:03:28,270 --> 00:03:29,550 So the idea is that we would undergo insurance audit, Yeah. 70 00:03:29,550 --> 00:03:37,789 which includes someone from the Vermont School Board Insurance Trust coming down and looking 71 00:03:37,789 --> 00:03:38,830 at our playground. 72 00:03:38,830 --> 00:03:39,389 Mm-hmm. 73 00:03:39,389 --> 00:03:45,550 And gymnasium and the check out different things while they're here. 74 00:03:45,550 --> 00:03:51,710 That slide was found in violation years ago because that surface gets hot. 75 00:03:51,710 --> 00:03:52,620 Yeah. 76 00:03:52,620 --> 00:03:55,419 So that's why it was moved from the backyard. 77 00:03:55,419 --> 00:03:55,979 Okay. 78 00:03:55,979 --> 00:04:00,819 Okay, well that was like eight or ten years ago that was moved from the backyard up front. 79 00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:06,139 And as long as it wasn't in the fenced in area, that was okay, that was cool. 80 00:04:06,139 --> 00:04:13,710 But now they're looking at it and there's a gap in it from the platform to where the slide starts. 81 00:04:14,150 --> 00:04:19,170 There's a small, I should have brought the drawing, there's a small gap and they bought that closed. 82 00:04:19,930 --> 00:04:25,339 And there was maybe one other thing wrong with it, but that gap was the biggest thing. 83 00:04:25,339 --> 00:04:29,160 And so we certainly cannot put it in the backyard. 84 00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:35,139 And I don't know why you were thinking, I can't remember what you said, why it was in the way or was it mowing issue? 85 00:04:35,139 --> 00:04:39,199 Mowing or why was it out of the fence anyway? 86 00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:40,579 That's why it's out of the fence. 87 00:04:41,019 --> 00:04:47,959 And I think we saw that a couple years ago when the safety audit came down, something about some of the playground equipment there. 88 00:04:48,180 --> 00:04:49,560 Can it just go away altogether? 89 00:04:50,139 --> 00:04:50,360 Yeah. 90 00:04:51,939 --> 00:04:53,019 I'll ask. 91 00:04:53,779 --> 00:04:55,240 I know someone mentioned something about it. 92 00:04:55,339 --> 00:04:55,779 Historical. 93 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,259 I don't know if that was the context of it's actually historical or it's just old. 94 00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:05,170 It's just, it's just, you slid on it. 95 00:05:05,269 --> 00:05:06,149 You know what I mean? 96 00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:08,310 Everybody's adult. 97 00:05:09,069 --> 00:05:10,189 It got burned on it. 98 00:05:10,629 --> 00:05:11,709 It got burned on it. 99 00:05:11,930 --> 00:05:17,410 Well, if you think about it, the kids really aren't here in the hot, hot weather, so the service getting hot. 100 00:05:17,470 --> 00:05:19,269 That was probably the safest equipment we had. 101 00:05:19,269 --> 00:05:19,949 Probably, yeah. 102 00:05:20,829 --> 00:05:22,209 The calmest and safest. 103 00:05:22,209 --> 00:05:24,910 It was probably the only piece of equipment other than the swings back in the day. 104 00:05:24,910 --> 00:05:25,490 We had it all the time. 105 00:05:25,529 --> 00:05:27,569 It was probably the only piece of equipment that used to rattle around. 106 00:05:27,569 --> 00:05:40,910 So we have issues with it that I'll ask if they, if they, if that is a possibility for it to go away, is that something that can be scrapped? 107 00:05:41,009 --> 00:05:41,509 Is it? 108 00:05:41,509 --> 00:05:44,230 I mean, personally, I'm fine with it there or gone away. 109 00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:45,629 I don't really care personally about it. 110 00:05:45,629 --> 00:05:51,069 I mean, when you say mowing, I know it's been there eight or ten years, so how can it not be a problem with mowing? 111 00:05:51,069 --> 00:05:51,970 Nobody changed it. 112 00:05:51,970 --> 00:05:52,990 I mean, it seems like. 113 00:05:52,990 --> 00:05:54,670 I think it also got brought up through the. 114 00:05:54,670 --> 00:06:06,769 I think it was brought up by Pam about it doesn't really need to be there or school versus chipping and that kind of stuff. 115 00:06:06,769 --> 00:06:08,730 The slide's got to be as long as it is. 116 00:06:08,730 --> 00:06:09,730 Exactly. 117 00:06:09,730 --> 00:06:10,730 Yeah. 118 00:06:10,730 --> 00:06:18,730 I don't know if it can be used and it's damaged. 119 00:06:18,730 --> 00:06:22,730 It isn't damaged per se, but they're saying that gas. 120 00:06:22,730 --> 00:06:23,730 Yeah. 121 00:06:23,730 --> 00:06:24,029 Yeah. 122 00:06:24,029 --> 00:06:24,069 Yeah. 123 00:06:24,069 --> 00:06:24,129 Yeah. 124 00:06:24,129 --> 00:06:24,230 Yeah. 125 00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:24,310 Yeah. 126 00:06:24,310 --> 00:06:24,329 Yeah. 127 00:06:24,329 --> 00:06:24,370 Yeah. 128 00:06:24,370 --> 00:06:24,389 Yeah. 129 00:06:24,389 --> 00:06:24,430 Yeah. 130 00:06:24,430 --> 00:06:24,470 Yeah. 131 00:06:24,470 --> 00:06:24,529 Yeah. 132 00:06:24,529 --> 00:06:24,569 Yeah. 133 00:06:24,670 --> 00:06:25,129 Yeah. 134 00:06:25,129 --> 00:06:26,610 Yeah. 135 00:06:26,610 --> 00:06:26,930 Yeah. 136 00:06:26,930 --> 00:06:26,990 Yeah. 137 00:06:26,990 --> 00:06:27,069 Yeah. 138 00:06:27,069 --> 00:06:27,490 Yeah. 139 00:06:27,490 --> 00:06:27,509 Yeah. 140 00:06:27,509 --> 00:06:28,009 Yeah. 141 00:06:28,009 --> 00:06:28,290 Yeah. 142 00:06:28,290 --> 00:06:28,310 Yeah. 143 00:06:28,310 --> 00:06:28,370 Yeah. 144 00:06:28,370 --> 00:06:28,430 Yeah. 145 00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:28,569 Yeah. 146 00:06:28,569 --> 00:06:28,629 Yeah. 147 00:06:28,629 --> 00:06:28,689 Yeah. 148 00:06:28,689 --> 00:06:30,009 Yeah. 149 00:06:30,009 --> 00:06:30,230 Yeah. 150 00:06:30,569 --> 00:06:30,949 Yep. 151 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,040 And it would cover all of the stuff and the playground. 152 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,860 Yeah, I used that to inspect them for . 153 00:06:46,860 --> 00:06:52,060 There's something back there that looks firetruckish and it has some rust spots on it. 154 00:06:52,060 --> 00:06:54,160 And you would have to tend to that. 155 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:54,459 Yeah. 156 00:06:54,459 --> 00:06:59,019 so what are the options with the slide like we either can close the gap and it 157 00:06:59,019 --> 00:07:05,379 can stay there or if the gaps not close it's to come down was what do you guys 158 00:07:05,379 --> 00:07:07,639 think 159 00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:13,000 I guess that's why I'm saying it's outside of the fence it's it's failed in 160 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,199 years past for other reasons the surface getting hot that's why it was moved out 161 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:22,879 of the fenced in area and so now there's a second so the school can't use it 162 00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:31,040 and it's a liability issue so I mean if it's it's document so we want to take it 163 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:37,160 down I'm gonna go back and just verify with the board that and if that's a 164 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:43,670 possibility how do we approach that do is that something we can I think we're 165 00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:47,589 agreeable to take it down if it's a safety hazard whether it's in the 166 00:07:47,589 --> 00:07:52,230 schoolyard out there yeah make sure there's no 167 00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:53,790 thank you 168 00:07:53,790 --> 00:08:05,029 sticking up afterwards still agreeable to help us remove it sure it's steel can 169 00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:11,209 go in the dumpster well can't that be scrapped yeah yeah yeah that's steel one 170 00:08:11,209 --> 00:08:23,259 yeah and then then lastly was the the memorial itself and the committee was 171 00:08:23,259 --> 00:08:27,800 going to be formed for its upkeep mm-hmm okay 172 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:28,300 so 173 00:08:28,459 --> 00:08:31,959 is that something that you would like a school board member on that committee 174 00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:38,700 well I did we say we wanted the committee now but I understood the 175 00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:43,480 committee was formed or going to be formed when the memorial went in back in 176 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:53,870 2006 that was on that too yeah yeah so doesn't matter it just it's overgrown 177 00:08:53,870 --> 00:08:59,750 some of the weeds are coming through we did an excellent job last year and the 178 00:08:59,870 --> 00:09:13,860 Our principal did say after you left her, and I can't, there was a reason she couldn't get the eighth graders organized to do what she wanted them to do. 179 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,919 She initiated the cleanup last year, the principal. 180 00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:27,240 And Julie thought that in coming years, the eighth grade as part of a community project could maintain. 181 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,980 But, of course, you have to wait so late to get in there, and maybe that's what it was. 182 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,860 April was very rainy, as I remember, so it could have been the weather just wasn't right. 183 00:09:37,139 --> 00:09:40,500 But then you can't take the chance that it never gets done. 184 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:47,000 So if that's something you, I'm available to work on it with you. 185 00:09:48,450 --> 00:09:52,730 Not necessarily as a school board member, but just as a community member. 186 00:09:53,049 --> 00:09:57,929 Well, see if she wants to have the kids do that for the community project. 187 00:09:58,330 --> 00:10:09,230 In the springtime, and then maybe as a committee, people could check it again, like in July or August, and just give it a look, one more spurs they would do. 188 00:10:09,970 --> 00:10:11,309 I think maybe if it comes. 189 00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:13,990 Put a shout out in the spring and see if there's any volunteers. 190 00:10:14,549 --> 00:10:19,129 I mean, we're reaching a hundred different people now on the YouTube channel. 191 00:10:19,289 --> 00:10:24,789 Yeah, the little bit of a Facebook post I did last year really came through pretty well. 192 00:10:24,789 --> 00:10:28,629 The mulch area was a lot larger when it first went in. 193 00:10:28,649 --> 00:10:33,259 But it looks fine like it is now, and just mowing up to it. 194 00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:37,220 Yes, it's what we had to work with. 195 00:10:37,580 --> 00:10:45,500 So we thought eight bags of mulch, and that was... 196 00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:46,500 Doesn't go far. 197 00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:46,919 No. 198 00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:57,590 So one of the volunteers that was working with us actually had mulch in the backyard and trucked down 35 additional bags. 199 00:10:57,590 --> 00:11:00,330 So that is 43 bags of mulch. 200 00:11:00,509 --> 00:11:08,350 But it was after, you know, severe neglect, you know, so it had to be done, had to be put down like that. 201 00:11:08,970 --> 00:11:12,240 It just wasn't enough to do a bigger area. 202 00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:12,879 Okay. 203 00:11:14,620 --> 00:11:15,000 All right. 204 00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:20,960 Well, if that goes anywhere further, if there's more of an update from the principal, I can certainly let you know. 205 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,580 Nate, you have something to add to this? 206 00:11:22,620 --> 00:11:22,840 Yeah. 207 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,019 I didn't know if you could still use regular mulch. 208 00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:27,899 Aren't you supposed to use that plastic mulch now? 209 00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:29,440 No. 210 00:11:29,899 --> 00:11:30,820 I'm not sure. 211 00:11:31,019 --> 00:11:31,740 But it's... 212 00:11:31,820 --> 00:11:35,080 It's probably like all-natural cedar mulch that you would have to use. 213 00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:38,730 Not what they're chipping on the side of the roads. 214 00:11:39,309 --> 00:11:40,269 No plastic. 215 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,379 I know there was talk about removing the bushes in the front of the school, but I saw they did some work there. 216 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:53,899 They cut an area between the school and the back of the bushes so somebody could run right through there now. 217 00:11:55,379 --> 00:11:55,919 Where is this? 218 00:11:56,159 --> 00:11:58,340 Right out front of the school. 219 00:11:58,340 --> 00:12:03,200 I noticed too late, and of course it wasn't pouring, but it was raining when I came in. 220 00:12:03,259 --> 00:12:08,360 Because I saw some debris, and I was like, oh, somebody's been messing with that. 221 00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:09,440 But it was supposed to be... 222 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,600 I thought they were going to remove all the bushes in front there. 223 00:12:12,659 --> 00:12:21,600 Because that was the inspection from the state police that said the visual, it was blocking the visual. 224 00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:34,009 So, and I wouldn't be opposed to having the bushes behind the assistant's desk disappear too at the same time. 225 00:12:34,009 --> 00:12:51,409 Many years ago, the snow did a lot of damage to them, and they're looking a little ragged, but that's my opinion. 226 00:12:51,409 --> 00:12:52,929 I wouldn't mind seeing them gone. 227 00:12:52,929 --> 00:12:54,070 Maybe the board would, but... 228 00:12:55,070 --> 00:12:58,340 And I know you hired a janitor. 229 00:12:58,659 --> 00:12:58,879 Yes. 230 00:13:01,220 --> 00:13:05,940 I could see the difference the second day he was here with the bathrooms and... 231 00:13:05,980 --> 00:13:10,480 He's quite handy, and not afraid to do anything. 232 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,639 I mean, he's painted for Julie. 233 00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:13,539 He's a... 234 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,860 Repaired a couple lockers. 235 00:13:16,019 --> 00:13:20,000 I mean, he just really seems eager and responsible. 236 00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:21,580 Yeah. 237 00:13:22,419 --> 00:13:22,659 Yeah. 238 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,440 Yeah, but we've been very happy. 239 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,279 It's definitely a huge improvement. 240 00:13:26,659 --> 00:13:27,200 Oh, thank you. 241 00:13:27,759 --> 00:13:35,179 And the new admin assistant will probably... 242 00:13:35,179 --> 00:13:36,399 Hey, do you want to chime in here? 243 00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:40,700 We wanted to talk about the janitor, about particularly winter duties. 244 00:13:40,879 --> 00:13:41,399 I can't say. 245 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,299 But it's local. 246 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:42,879 Yeah. 247 00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:48,350 I mean, last winter, I shoveled almost all... 248 00:13:48,470 --> 00:14:00,220 I think you talked to him, though, or when you first came, and, yeah. 249 00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:02,259 I did. 250 00:14:02,820 --> 00:14:19,120 The last guy, when he was doing it, I was calling him in the mornings, and I felt rich, 251 00:14:19,259 --> 00:14:19,879 had it down. 252 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:21,120 Exactly. 253 00:14:21,419 --> 00:14:27,509 And, you know, when you've got someone that really takes responsibility like that and 254 00:14:27,509 --> 00:14:30,429 cares, it's hard to replace that. 255 00:14:30,690 --> 00:14:30,809 Yeah. 256 00:14:30,809 --> 00:14:31,330 Very hard. 257 00:14:31,330 --> 00:14:38,600 But we're hoping that we've got a really sound employee with this person, so I won't mention 258 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:38,820 that. 259 00:14:38,919 --> 00:14:39,000 Yeah. 260 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:39,620 He... 261 00:14:39,620 --> 00:14:39,639 Yeah. 262 00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:44,970 He's very nice, cooperative with anything you ask him, and, yeah, helps us. 263 00:14:45,669 --> 00:14:50,990 The snow blower, I don't know what the status of it is now, but I know when the last guy 264 00:14:50,990 --> 00:15:02,750 was using it, it was a meme like it doesn't really throw the snow all that well, and it 265 00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:09,649 shuts off because it smells awful like gas. 266 00:15:09,669 --> 00:15:10,610 It's very old. 267 00:15:10,809 --> 00:15:11,070 Yeah. 268 00:15:12,330 --> 00:15:17,610 I know that it was rehab, at least that's what I was told, but it may be time just to 269 00:15:17,610 --> 00:15:18,309 replace it. 270 00:15:18,309 --> 00:15:18,669 Right. 271 00:15:18,669 --> 00:15:24,519 So, yeah, we'll bring that up, too. 272 00:15:26,789 --> 00:15:32,370 Lori, you weren't here when Cindy asked about hiring the sheriff for November 3rd voting. 273 00:15:32,549 --> 00:15:40,990 We'll discuss it at the next meeting, but maybe if you call now and reserve them because 274 00:15:40,990 --> 00:15:47,659 we don't have a contract with them, so we'll see if we can get them or... 275 00:15:47,659 --> 00:15:50,440 I think last time they would not come in. 276 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,559 They just said if we have an officer available. 277 00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:54,659 We'll send them. 278 00:15:56,039 --> 00:15:58,899 We didn't know if someone was coming until he came. 279 00:15:59,940 --> 00:16:01,220 Are we still pushing it? 280 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:06,059 Will we still need the police officer if we held, if we're able to hold it in here? 281 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,100 No. 282 00:16:08,919 --> 00:16:09,860 Is that a possibility? 283 00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:17,419 Maybe someone... 284 00:16:17,419 --> 00:16:18,620 In and out. 285 00:16:18,620 --> 00:16:19,820 Well, it's only like the August one. 286 00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:21,139 In and out and no chatting. 287 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,059 In and right out. 288 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,080 Well, it's not presidential. 289 00:16:23,879 --> 00:16:24,919 That's why they don't... 290 00:16:24,919 --> 00:16:26,139 It would save us some money and... 291 00:16:26,139 --> 00:16:27,259 It's necessary to close school. 292 00:16:29,899 --> 00:16:30,879 Headache with the school. 293 00:16:31,419 --> 00:16:32,139 Is that real? 294 00:16:32,299 --> 00:16:32,799 We'll do that. 295 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,259 I mean... 296 00:16:34,259 --> 00:16:38,460 Maybe if we had some voting bills here and rearranged it and people came in and went 297 00:16:38,460 --> 00:16:39,320 out the back door. 298 00:16:40,820 --> 00:16:45,100 It might be... 299 00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:46,100 It would be tight. 300 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:49,740 Think about it. 301 00:16:49,899 --> 00:16:50,080 Yeah. 302 00:16:50,539 --> 00:16:55,799 We've got an hour until the next meeting to decide on the police officer and... 303 00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:57,799 Well, it wouldn't be up to us to hire the police. 304 00:16:58,139 --> 00:16:59,509 It would be up to us. 305 00:17:01,590 --> 00:17:02,409 Mike's not here. 306 00:17:02,529 --> 00:17:04,109 He's on the... 307 00:17:04,109 --> 00:17:05,509 I don't know if that matters. 308 00:17:09,690 --> 00:17:10,589 Anything else? 309 00:17:10,589 --> 00:17:11,349 That's all I have. 310 00:17:11,430 --> 00:17:12,630 Thank you very much for listening. 311 00:17:12,730 --> 00:17:13,049 Thank you. 312 00:17:13,049 --> 00:17:13,450 I appreciate it. 313 00:17:13,609 -->

but $8,000, we'll get something done. 349 00:18:56,740 --> 00:18:57,660 You have to do it. 350 00:18:57,779 --> 00:18:59,839 You can't take the money. 351 00:19:00,299 --> 00:19:00,779 Okay. 352

Drive 359 00:19:23,349 --> 00:19:23,809 Culver. 360 00:19:24,430 --> 00:19:31,740 They're giving us $16,200 with a $4,000 match. 361 00:19:35,259 --> 00:19:38,599 What was that, like a three-year in-the-making project? 362 00:19:38,819 --> 00:19:40,420 Yeah, that's how these things work. 363 00:19:43,950 --> 00:19:47,329 And when will that be for next year? 364 00:19:47,769 --> 00:19:49,529 We may get it done this fall. 365 00:19:49,650 --> 00:20:10,309 Can I have a motion to accept this? 366 00:20:10,859 --> 00:20:11,539 So, I'll get it done. 367 00:20:11,940 --> 00:20:15,349 All in favor?

00:20:29,819 --> 00:20:34,549 As of now, it's for Friday, August 14th, the next drive. 372 00:20:42,069 --> 00:20:44,690 Is that what's all dumped up at the old state garage there? 373 00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:44,869 Yeah. 374 00:20:45,230 --> 00:20:49,849 Why were the state police all around it one night? 375 00:20:50,970 --> 00:20:51,990 There was a truck. 376 00:20:52,109 --> 00:20:52,869 There were four cruisers there. 377 00:20:53,230 --> 00:20:55,890 There was a truck behind there that they were looking at. 378 00:20:56,069 --> 00:20:56,309 Oh. 379 00:20:58,380 --> 00:21:00,420 I thought maybe somebody was stealing the chip ceiling. 380 00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:00,819 No. 381 00:21:00,819 --> 00:21:06,680 No, but somebody has been stealing some of the road signs in town. 382 00:21:08,230 --> 00:21:09,470 Lots of road signs. 383 00:21:10,730 --> 00:21:11,190 I don't know. 384 00:21:11,730 --> 00:21:12,630 There's one on my way. 385 00:21:12,630 --> 00:21:15,769 There's one in my garage, but it's an old one, so I didn't steal it. 386 00:21:15,869 --> 00:21:16,730 I didn't steal it. 387 00:21:18,490 --> 00:21:21,029 The old county road sign got stolen. 388 00:21:21,450 --> 00:21:23,369 The patron road sign got stolen. 389 00:21:23,549 --> 00:21:24,650 That one gets stolen almost. 390 00:21:24,650 --> 00:21:25,349 All the time. 391 00:21:26,369 --> 00:21:27,470 I welded it on. 392 00:21:28,029 --> 00:21:29,130 They cut it off. 393 00:21:29,309 --> 00:21:29,529 Go on. 394 00:21:29,609 --> 00:21:30,609 Can you do my GPS? 395 00:21:31,809 --> 00:21:32,869 How are they on there? 396 00:21:32,930 --> 00:21:33,769 Are they on there pretty good? 397 00:21:34,470 --> 00:21:36,009 I've been welding that one. 398 00:21:36,170 --> 00:21:37,049 The post is welded. 399 00:21:37,269 --> 00:21:38,250 The top's welded. 400 00:21:38,490 --> 00:21:39,250 The zip is right on. 401 00:21:39,250 --> 00:21:40,269 The zip is right on. 402 00:21:40,269 --> 00:21:40,710 The zip is right on. 403 00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:41,710 The zip is right on. 404 00:21:41,710 --> 00:21:42,369 The zip is right on. 405 00:21:42,630 --> 00:21:43,630 The zip is right on. 406 00:21:43,630 --> 00:21:44,630 The zip is right on. 407 00:21:44,630 --> 00:21:45,759 The zip is right on. 408 00:21:45,759 --> 00:21:46,759 I put some power to it. 409 00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:47,759 Why would you want the nature road sign if you're not in the nature? 410 00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:48,759 I don't know. 411 00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:49,759 Do you have one? 412 00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:50,759 I've got one. 413 00:21:50,759 --> 00:21:51,759 I've got one. 414 00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:52,759 I've got one. 415 00:21:52,759 --> 00:21:53,759 I want one. 416 00:21:53,759 --> 00:21:54,759 I want to go to a fair. 417 00:21:54,759 --> 00:21:55,759 Yeah. 418 00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:56,759 We've been doing the shoulder work on caps and then probably next week continue up on 419 00:21:56,759 --> 00:21:57,759 the sure road. 420 00:21:57,759 --> 00:21:58,759 Hopefully we'll get that finished up. 421 00:21:58,759 --> 00:21:59,759 Yeah, it looks good up there. 422 00:21:59,759 --> 00:22:00,759 I've been through there a few times. 423 00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,579 Yeah. 424 00:22:03,579 --> 00:22:04,579 It just looks really good. 425 00:22:04,579 --> 00:22:05,579 It just looks good. 426 00:22:05,579 --> 00:22:06,579 It just looks really good. 427 00:22:06,579 --> 00:22:07,579 Yeah. 428 00:22:07,579 --> 00:22:08,579 I think it's going to be a good fit. 429 00:22:08,579 --> 00:22:09,579 I think it's going to be a good fit. 430 00:22:09,579 --> 00:22:14,480 get that finished up yeah it looks good up there i've been through there a few times 431 00:22:20,910 --> 00:22:30,509 everybody slowed down on jeff sender's uh a few things so yeah i understand coming down off the 432 00:22:30,509 --> 00:22:39,390 hill yeah you don't want to ride your brakes it drives fast no matter where you ever get that 433 00:22:41,009 --> 00:22:48,880 yeah come sit in my couch yeah i will say like it's great having those uh guys putting those 434 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,519 holes in because it's definitely held everybody up in town 435 00:22:52,539 --> 00:22:55,339 i had a guy today pass me right in front of the school on a double line 436 00:22:57,490 --> 00:23:05,339 there's no comment what the heck didn't get them and they all know it yes now that jeff's road is 437 00:23:05,339 --> 00:23:14,210 almost all taken care of are we gonna actually are you guys gonna grade uh well we've graded it 438 00:23:14,210 --> 00:23:20,299 a couple times this year it's actually on the list for monday if the weather breaks 439 00:23:23,099 --> 00:23:28,059 for us but yeah i know it's hard because all the trucks are going to throw out that 440 00:23:28,059 --> 00:23:33,579 chug around that corner there's certainly no way to stop it except for paving it so hopefully 441 00:23:34,220 --> 00:23:38,940 in five years once this project's paid i mean that's the next thing we had talked about so 442 00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:45,019 they're going to look forward to that hopefully i think you can put more guardrails up dave or no 443 00:23:45,019 --> 00:23:51,019 what's that if they paid that are you going to put more card girls or no no that's not really any 444 00:23:51,420 --> 00:23:52,859 stipulation because 445 00:23:53,099 --> 00:24:07,140 as far as paving you go it certainly could be done yeah i mean no you know it's a good 446 00:24:07,140 --> 00:24:15,740 moment to do something it'd be a lot easier for you to answer your first concept oh yeah 447 00:24:15,740 --> 00:24:22,220 almost as much or more than the payment it's crazy how much that costs yeah caution people 448 00:24:22,220 --> 00:24:24,940 yeah a couple rounds a couple of times that's it 449 00:24:29,019 --> 00:24:32,380 is that guy who's got the excavator up and down the road is he gonna help 450 00:24:33,180 --> 00:24:34,140 gravel our road 451 00:24:34,299 --> 00:24:39,059 is obviously he's not helping it yeah who's up and down the road 452 00:24:41,059 --> 00:24:48,609 national forest yeah they give us some money back but i mean i haven't seen any major damage any 453 00:24:48,609 --> 00:24:54,980 more than anybody else that went off over a machine or what on a gravel road and i went 454 00:24:54,980 --> 00:24:59,779 up there i was concerned about i went up there and drafted already kind of packed it back in so 455 00:25:00,339 --> 00:25:10,319 i don't see where it was are they going it was irritating but i certainly don't like it 456 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,940 people wrecking the work that i do but there's kind of a you kind of accept the fact that people 457 00:25:15,940 --> 00:25:25,519 have to lower them some minor i haven't been up in the road in a while but for the most part our 458 00:25:25,519 --> 00:25:31,579 town roads are in pretty good shape i've been in other towns in the area and they're all washed 459 00:25:31,579 --> 00:25:40,240 forward bad the driveway that brings that on you can't you can't really grade it out tonight 460 00:25:42,319 --> 00:25:43,279 thank you thank you 461 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,279 yeah 462 00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:49,279 have your rain take some of the climes off and it gets worse. 463 00:25:49,279 --> 00:25:53,440 Where was our climb? The climb, I think, was a little bad 464 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,569 when you go up that hill. Yeah, that usually lasts about a week or two 465 00:25:57,569 --> 00:26:02,299 after injury. The people that, you know, have seen 466 00:26:02,299 --> 00:26:06,660 I mean, it matches the rest of the road all the way down to, you know. 467 00:26:06,660 --> 00:26:10,660 The last four roads in Vermont are better than the blacktop roads out in the back. 468 00:26:10,660 --> 00:26:14,660 Yeah, the blacktop roads are better. 469 00:26:14,660 --> 00:26:18,660 Dave, are they, is National Forest going to go out to the power lines? 470 00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:23,259 I wonder if they're going to re-plank that bridge or anything. Well, they're working on the bridge. 471 00:26:23,259 --> 00:26:27,259 The one that's out by the power line? They're doing two bridges. 472 00:26:27,259 --> 00:26:31,259 Which one is the other one? The first one? Nope. 473 00:26:31,259 --> 00:26:35,259 The second one's being worked on now. They put it back together because they dropped the bridge in the ditch. 474 00:26:35,259 --> 00:26:39,259 So they had to get two excavators out there because they messed that up. 475 00:26:39,259 --> 00:26:43,259 And they're going to be doing another one after that. I'm not sure. Now the two bridges 476 00:26:43,259 --> 00:26:45,259 are after the intersection of Climb Hill. 477 00:26:45,259 --> 00:26:49,259 Are they going to be going out to Bondyke and County, heading out that way? 478 00:26:49,259 --> 00:26:53,259 You said two bridges. No, we're on 264. Oh, going up. 479 00:26:53,259 --> 00:26:57,259 We're on Warrenbrook. Oh, okay. So going out to the power lines 480 00:26:57,259 --> 00:27:02,579 out through County, they're not going to be doing anything on that bridge? 481 00:27:02,579 --> 00:27:06,579 No. Where are they? In the watershed area? 482 00:27:06,579 --> 00:27:10,579 So, you know, over time, right after Highbridge, right after Old County Road 483 00:27:10,579 --> 00:27:14,579 where I live, take that right, Steamboat Bridge, going up Warrenbrook 484 00:27:14,579 --> 00:27:16,579 towards Stanford Pond. Okay, yeah. 485 00:27:16,579 --> 00:27:20,579 First wooden bridge is still there. The second one is the one they dropped. 486 00:27:20,579 --> 00:27:24,579 Oh, okay. The cement stanchions. 487 00:27:24,579 --> 00:27:28,579 Is that due to the logging that they had done over the winter? 488 00:27:28,579 --> 00:27:32,579 Well, I understand. Yeah. 489 00:27:32,579 --> 00:27:36,579 Something to do with that. So now they're redoing it, but they ended up 490 00:27:36,579 --> 00:27:40,579 putting steel beams under there and stanchions, cement stanchions 491 00:27:40,579 --> 00:27:45,250 and they dropped it and it broke. 492 00:27:45,250 --> 00:27:50,720 Okay. And in the state, they can drop stuff in the brook, right? 493 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,720 Yeah. What else do you need? 494 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,720 I think those got put in up there. 495 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,390 Which hurricane was it? Katrina? Irene? 496 00:28:03,390 --> 00:28:07,740 Was it Anderson that put those in? 497 00:28:07,740 --> 00:28:14,049 Yes. Anything else, Dave? 498 00:28:14,049 --> 00:28:28,319 What else can we burden you with? 499 00:28:28,319 --> 00:28:34,660 Can we look at the water being diverted away from our driveway 500 00:28:34,660 --> 00:28:38,660 because it's putting a rope where they pull into the driveway? 501 00:28:38,660 --> 00:28:42,660 Yeah, I can show you a picture of the water running right down that driveway. That's just causing that. 502 00:28:42,660 --> 00:28:47,740 I'm going to add a little gravel to try to make 503 00:28:47,740 --> 00:28:51,740 to try to make it a little more, like your approach, a little less harsh. 504 00:28:51,740 --> 00:28:55,740 Yeah. But there's no way, without pavement roads, 505 00:28:55,740 --> 00:28:59,900 you know, gravel roads are just constantly moving. 506 00:28:59,900 --> 00:29:03,970 You know, it's nobody's fault. You know, you get a lot of traffic 507 00:29:03,970 --> 00:29:07,970 up there going around the turn, they create a low spot, and then it rains 508 00:29:07,970 --> 00:29:13,150 hard and water follows the low spot. You could create these roads 509 00:29:13,150 --> 00:29:33,019 if you could do it, you know, works in. 510 00:29:33,019 --> 00:29:43,490 Some of the other problems, they're going to do some work on the road in this situation. 511 00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:48,450 Okay. But a lot of the water problem that's causing 512 00:29:48,450 --> 00:29:56,579 that issue is water coming down that road. 513 00:29:56,579 --> 00:30:00,960 Fireways in there? No, it's just that the, you know, 514 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,410 heavy rain, the ditches, you know, so things get 515 00:30:05,410 --> 00:30:10,619 so there's nobody's fault. It just, the rain's hard, it washes 516 00:30:10,619 --> 00:30:14,619 the fines, and things start to silt, and the water's in the wrong direction. 517 00:30:14,619 --> 00:30:18,660 If you're not right there to do something about it in the moment, 518 00:30:18,660 --> 00:30:23,650 every time it's pouring rain, you're going to have an issue. It's just, there's no way around it. 519 00:30:23,650 --> 00:30:27,740 Where does it come from, the Stamford Pond Road, right on the edge? 520 00:30:27,740 --> 00:30:29,740 No, it, some of it comes 521 00:30:29,740 --> 00:30:33,740 around the wheel track. I mean, there's a ditch there, and the water sheets off, but 522 00:30:33,740 --> 00:30:37,869 a big part of the water comes down the left-hand side of Old County Road, 523 00:30:37,869 --> 00:30:42,000 and then it runs across the end of the road, causing it 524 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:48,400 to cut out. Wow. You know, and that's what happens 525 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:57,809 in high rain. It's a river. Yeah. Sometimes it's a private 526 00:30:57,809 --> 00:31:01,809 road, sometimes it's a private river. 527 00:31:01,809 --> 00:31:05,809 Can we get it back? 528 00:31:05,809 --> 00:31:13,759 You don't see so much coming off the town road as you do there. 529 00:31:13,759 --> 00:31:22,980 That's why I take pictures and things. What do you, 530 00:31:22,980 --> 00:31:27,039 what's going on with the new truck? I haven't heard much about it. 531 00:31:27,039 --> 00:31:31,039 I believe it's still this fall. I haven't really had the time just to call. 532 00:31:31,039 --> 00:31:36,029 They're usually pretty good about their timelines. You know, 533 00:31:36,029 --> 00:31:40,029 probably next month I'll start thinking about calling them, and 534 00:31:40,029 --> 00:31:42,029 I certainly don't want to push them, because I don't know if we even have the money. 535 00:31:42,029 --> 00:31:47,920 Well, I think the rates are going to change. 536 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,920 Our quotes are so early, so I'm waiting until it's closer when we need it. 537 00:31:51,920 --> 00:32:00,269 But you did get the money for the chip seal, or the 538 00:32:00,269 --> 00:32:05,170 shim coat, right? Part of the 539 00:32:05,170 --> 00:32:09,170 paving. Right. Yeah, there's paperwork for you to sign, 540 00:32:09,170 --> 00:32:18,900 and more to be signed. That's it on roads, Dave? 541 00:32:18,900 --> 00:32:25,099 How about anything on recycling? 542 00:32:25,099 --> 00:32:29,200 I did notice it looked like they charged us for some tires. I don't remember 543 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:38,130 tires getting through. Usually Carol is pretty good with... 544 00:32:38,130 --> 00:32:43,309 They charged us for something else that I thought was odd, too. 545 00:32:43,309 --> 00:32:47,309 Can you check it out? Shingles. I think it said shingles. 546 00:32:47,309 --> 00:32:51,309 Which, shingles are part of, like, C&D, so it's a C&D dumpster. 547 00:32:51,309 --> 00:32:55,309 Can you check it out and call them? Because I've never noticed where they 548 00:32:55,309 --> 00:32:59,309 charge us, like an overcharge for shingles. Is that all 549 00:32:59,309 --> 00:33:01,309 locked up after hours, and nobody can get in? 550 00:33:01,309 --> 00:33:05,309 Unfortunately, that one gate we can't shop. 551 00:33:05,309 --> 00:33:09,309 It's just that fence that needs a bunch of work. 552 00:33:09,309 --> 00:33:13,980 If somebody wants to throw something away, they're gonna. 553 00:33:13,980 --> 00:33:17,980 But, I mean, as far as Carol's charging people, 554 00:33:17,980 --> 00:33:22,210 it's not that somebody's dumping it illegally, it's just 555 00:33:22,210 --> 00:33:26,210 that Cassell is charging us for things that 556 00:33:26,210 --> 00:33:30,500 they weren't charging us for. The shingles in particular, 557 00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:34,750 I've never noticed an upcharge for shingles before. 558 00:33:34,750 --> 00:33:38,750 Once it's dumped? Yeah, because typically that's what goes in there. 559 00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:43,420 It's construction. And who's answer would sell it? 560 00:33:43,420 --> 00:33:47,579 But the tires, I didn't see any. I've never seen tires in a dump. 561 00:33:47,579 --> 00:33:52,220 So that seems a little... Were they charged for a tire? 562 00:33:52,220 --> 00:33:56,220 I can't remember. I mean, it's not super cheap. I'd have to look at the paper. 563 00:33:56,220 --> 00:34:01,119 But it definitely stood out. But it wasn't just Ron, I think it was a couple. 564 00:34:01,119 --> 00:34:11,739 Can you grab me the... 565 00:34:11,739 --> 00:34:15,739 They're pretty good up there. 566 00:34:15,739 --> 00:34:19,840 I haven't seen any tires 567 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,840 in a dump. 568 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,840 I'm wondering if somebody 569 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,840 just picked them up on the side of the road. 570 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,840 They didn't bring any down. 571 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,840 The tires were put kind of over behind the recycler dumpster. 572 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:45,500 And other people come and pick them up. 573 00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:49,500 Could it be one of those cases where they were there, then when they came to pick it up, they just grabbed them 574 00:34:49,500 --> 00:34:54,880 and chucked them in there? I don't know. I feel like they dumped the dumpster 575 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,880 in a drill car. The tires dumped and the driver must have thought they were in there. 576 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,300 Could have been. That's possible. Yeah. Because I've never seen tires 577 00:35:03,300 --> 00:35:07,300 in there. And I know the people running the rice recycling center would 578 00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:13,440 have done that. No. Yeah. Paid shingles. 579 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,500 $125. 580 00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:22,019 $347. That's a demolition. 581 00:35:22,019 --> 00:35:26,429 Well, that's the whole thing. 582 00:35:30,429 --> 00:35:34,429 Carol and...they're very good at watching 583 00:35:34,429 --> 00:35:38,429 what people are throwing in there. This has nothing to do with the operators. 584 00:35:38,429 --> 00:35:40,429 Yeah. 585 00:35:40,429 --> 00:35:44,429 I'm charging certain stuff that I know that I'm charging. 586 00:35:44,429 --> 00:35:48,429 Do we have a contracted rate with them? Like that certain stuff 587 00:35:48,429 --> 00:35:52,429 that they gave us a call on in the beginning? No. No. 588 00:35:52,429 --> 00:35:56,429 So we can change it any time? We have done that in the past, but 589 00:35:56,429 --> 00:36:00,429 we've also called around to see what other prices were. 590 00:36:00,429 --> 00:36:04,909 And it sells a lot cheaper. 591 00:36:04,909 --> 00:36:08,940 Everyone dumps their stuff through the store. 592 00:36:08,940 --> 00:36:14,159 Yeah. 593 00:36:14,159 --> 00:36:18,159 We separated it out. I'll probably go right along the hole. 594 00:36:18,159 --> 00:36:22,159 Yep. 595 00:36:22,159 --> 00:36:27,760 I noticed that somebody's been working around it 596 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:32,019 that the recycling center, cleaning the weeds and 597 00:36:32,019 --> 00:36:36,019 trying to straighten up there, it's looking a little bit better than it... 598 00:36:36,019 --> 00:36:40,019 Not as ragged as it was. Yeah. Some of it's just mangled in the fence. 599 00:36:40,019 --> 00:36:56,179 Yeah. 600 00:36:56,179 --> 00:37:00,179 Well, it's noticeable, so it looks a little better. 601 00:37:00,179 --> 00:37:06,739 We try to do it with diesel fuel. 602 00:37:06,739 --> 00:37:12,849 So if you want to check with Casella and see what they're saying about that... 603 00:37:12,849 --> 00:37:22,030 Because why are we charging the customer 604 00:37:22,030 --> 00:37:26,320 if Casella was taking it for free? 605 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,320 They weren't taking it for free, but they weren't... 606 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,320 Usually they just mark it as C&D and they charge us on all fees. 607 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,420 Okay. Okay. They got added fees in there that they weren't... 608 00:37:38,420 --> 00:37:42,420 Yeah, they're sneaking in stuff on in. That's true. 609 00:37:42,420 --> 00:37:46,420 We're not making any money on them, thump as it is. We don't need them to sneak in. 610 00:37:46,420 --> 00:37:50,960 If that's the case, we may have to start charging more for the shingles. Right. 611 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:57,010 I don't believe it was tires. I didn't answer the question if it was tires. 612 00:37:57,010 --> 00:38:01,010 How you're in a black trash bag? 613 00:38:01,010 --> 00:38:05,010 You just throw it in there, or what? How does that work out? 614 00:38:05,010 --> 00:38:09,010 You don't ask questions like that. 615 00:38:09,010 --> 00:38:13,010 I don't think they want to check what's in the black bags. 616 00:38:13,010 --> 00:38:17,010 Just put a big asbestos sticker right on it, and no one will want to open it up. 617 00:38:17,010 --> 00:38:22,289 Okay. That's it on recycling. 618 00:38:22,289 --> 00:38:26,289 Leo with your Memorial Garden and outside maintenance. I think we covered that. 619 00:38:26,289 --> 00:38:28,289 Yep.
