 Okay, call the meeting of the Waterbury Billards Trustee's Order for Wednesday, April 11th, 2018, here at 7 p.m. in the Steel Community Room. Is there anybody here from the public for something that's not on the agenda? Moving right along then, you have Dana Allen about the request for an event at the Pump Park. Do you have anybody else that's coming? I thought no one was going to be here but I don't know if you got out of the shopping time. So where should I sit? Sure, you can have a seat right over there and kind of explain what your up to. Is that the agenda for tonight? Yeah. Just for a manly. Thank you. Yeah, so what we're hoping to do is basically just hold an event at the Pump Track down in the Perry Hill Trailhead. We're kind of envisioning this as sort of like a back-to-school event, so kind of a family-friendly deal. We'd like to do it in the evening. So this would be on August 24th. It's kind of the day we've kicked around thus far. Hoping to basically do an event where we have, you know, in the evening time slash into the night. So there'd be lights. We've got a couple guys who have some big contractor lights that give light up the park. And then we were talking about maybe doing a little bit of music down there. Talking to a couple of food trucks to see if they'd be interested in coming in, parking in the, kind of in the defined parking area for Perry Hill. So maybe having them set up there. And then we've talked a little bit to Vermont Beer Shepherd to see if they'd be interested in catering that, you know, in that same area. So that's kind of the general gist of the event. Probably run something like five to nine would probably be the limit. I can't see it going a whole lot later than that. What day of the week is the 24th? Thursday. Thursday. So during the week there's... Friday night or Friday night, I think. There's some. How does it say Friday night? And what sort of... August 24th. What age group are you kind of looking to? All ages, honestly. I mean, we want to do it. Like, we've noticed that the pump track is super popular with younger kids. But honestly, everyone who rides bikes at Perry Hill seems to hit it at one point or another. And so we're talking to anyone from, you know, kids three, five, six years old, whatever, up into adults. So kind of just in all ages of that, Bicycle Express and WADA have talked about it a little bit. And they're really interested in doing sort of a family event. But that, you know, people without kids would feel comfortable going to as well. So who's hosting this? Is this WADA? Yeah, it's a WADA in partnership with Bicycle Express. Oh, together. And then we probably, I mean, we're probably going to end up talking about water break sports a little bit. Because it would be good to get those guys in on it as well. But the idea originally came from Bicycle Express as something they kind of wanted to do. It's close to their shop, that sort of thing. So you would have any displays or people, you know, kind of riding bikes, the kind of demonstrations or something? Yeah, I think it would be a little more free-form than that. We'd probably do some like pump track races, like time laps. Honestly, we haven't really gotten too far into the details yet. Just looking at this point, it's something where we kind of have, you know, this sort of like fun festival environment where we go a little bit of food, beverages, be able to ride bikes, have some music, kind of put the whole thing under lights. Is it for a fee? Or is it open? No, I think we just do it open. Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously if we're going to work with a wrong beer shepherd and have beverages, we might encourage donations. We usually don't sell beverages. The licensing and catering gets a little tricky. So we'd probably do donations for that, but the event would be completely open. Food trucks would charge whatever they charge. So if we do end up going that route. Are you planning for bathroom accommodations? Yeah, so we'd probably end up using the ice rink. So we'd have to just coordinate with them and make sure there's access. But if people are coming on bikes, it's pretty close by. So I think we'd be pretty squared away there. Who was it that was doing the catering beer? Vermont Beer Shepherd. It's the U-Walls. They live up in Duxbury. They started a company called Vermont Beer Shepherd. Basically what they do is they go around the state and they get some of these smaller breweries who don't have distribution. They serve as a distribution for them. So it's kind of a cool way for them to get like Kraft and micro brews distributed to a wider audience. And so they've actually worked with us a ton. Primarily Amy Scharf, if any of you know Amy. She's been working with us a ton on sponsorships. So they've done three events with us so far now where they basically handle beverages, licensing, catering, serving. So they're under the Vermont Liquor Licensing Laws. They're essentially our caterer. So all the liability goes towards them. That covers the site. They have to set it up properly. But since they're licensed to do that sort of thing, it's really easy for us to kind of plug in. So they would be selling alcoholic beverages there? The idea is that we'd have beer, yeah. And then again, like I said, we probably wouldn't do sales of beer. We do like donations. Just because again, selling beer versus donating for a beer, there's some paperwork involved there. So typically what we've done is as part of the Vermont Beer Shepherd sponsorship of the club, they typically just donate that in kind. And then we just encourage people to donate. And then that goes to defray the cost a little bit. What do we do when they have that beer thing in Rusty Parker Park Gare? Vermont. They had to go through state permits. Yeah. But they also need a liquor license from the town. They had to have somebody transfer their liquor license to the location. Yeah. And so that's a catering license. And so we've done that with different Bicycle Express event. They catered that. And so that's not a location that typically has a liquor license, but they have a catering liquor license. So it transfers to the site. And then there are requirements that you have to set up, you know, an enclosure and that sort of thing. But that's kind of what they do. So we basically kind of say, all right, this is our setup. What do we need to do to make this all legal and work? They go through the liquor department and they get everything set up in advance. So the beer would be sold inside an enclosure? Intensively. In an enclosure. Exactly. Yeah. You have to set up a fence. Yeah, exactly. It's like Arts Fest. Since we're working with Bill Woodruff to put up a fence along the edge of the road, we'll already have pretty much half of it done anyway. So then we'll just create a temporary fence for the event. At the park, when they did that one there, they had them do a double fence, one that was outside. And then the inner fence, it was actually the proper people were responsible for the inner fence. Yeah. So people couldn't lean over the rail and drink that way. Oh, here he is. Found him. Now you're on the spot. Oh, I couldn't leave the store. That's what I said. Here, I can move over if you want to get in hot tea. Okay. This is one of the owners of Bicycle Express that will be co-hosting the event with us. So we were just talking about the... The out of town Bicycle Express? The out of town Bicycle Express. Technically out of town. By like what, a quarter of a mile with that? A little sliver. But we're going to annex that, right? Yeah. We'll just turn that into a water bearing. Well, welcome to business. At least you're on our water system. I definitely am on your water systems. Yeah. That was a whole complex thing we had to work out. Great. What's your name? I'm Noah, by the way. So I run the shop in town, I guess out of town. And yeah, so basically we've been in business for 12 years. Chilled the water bearing for our location based on the area of recreation here. And yeah, it's kind of just moved more to our clientele. Where were you before? We were in Northville, Vermont. So the thing that I liked about here is it has a really good chapter. And kind of just like a good following. And it's a good group of people. You can run a bike shop and have fun. But I'm more into it to have kind of like the vibes of being a bike shop within the community. And it's been really cool to kind of come in here and get accepted by the chapter. Trails up across the interstate are pretty popular in the evening there in the summer. That's primarily what WADA does. That's what we take care of and develop new trails and that sort of thing. For right now, we've also got trails out of Little River we've developed as well. And hopefully more. You mentioned working with Bill Woodruff to put up a fence. Is that to keep cars from parking or to keep the bikes? So the plan right now is to basically this spring put up. And this was actually permitted in the original pump track permit. We just got the permit sort of reissued. But we're going to put up a split rail fence along the side of the road next to the pump track. One to sort of discourage parking to the greatest degree that we can. And two to basically keep kids and adults and everyone else from cutting in and out of the pump track. We've noticed it's a big issue. People ride down the road, get speed to get into the pump track. And then they sometimes cut out a little early on the road. And as you know, it's a pretty well trafficked stretch of road for such a small side road. With the ice rink and the dog park and everything down there. So we're going to cut that down. It's just a safety issue that we feel like we can solve pretty easily. So that's going to happen this spring. That's not really in connection with this event. This is something that Steve Laspeach and Bill Woodruff and I have been working on for a little while. So that would happen this spring? Yeah, April 29th. If you guys know Nat Fish, probably know Nat. Nat's on our board and he's going to be helping us put up that fence and that sort of thing. We'll do some other work down there. So hopefully April 29th is our first work day and that's when we want to get it done. And I'll just put up an acknowledgement that I'm on the Winterfest Committee. Yes, thank you. And we just provided a grant to help for those improvements. Yeah, that's going to be huge because it's a fair amount of material between that, the rolling structure as well as the other fence across the road. So sticks and stuff has always been really good to us. But this is going to be a larger ask than anything we've done before. So that grant is definitely going to help. Yeah, I think that was helping you kind of come full circle for what you needed. Exactly, yeah. It was really a nice thing to get involved with. Yeah, so we're like, well, thank you for that. Appreciate it. So do you think you'll have added parking without cars parking along the road or are you going to make arrangements over at the ice center? Yeah, we're going to try to. So we're doing two things. You know, we've got that area that the village improved, you know, on the same side as the trailhead side. And that's really been good. The informal parking on the other side, we're going to expand by using a couple of posts and some rope in between. We can't really do much more than that because that's in the floodway. And so we can't really improve it beyond that. We just like to encourage people to park out in the field a little bit farther. We've talked about putting up some no parking signs on that same side of the road to discourage people parking into the street. I think the fence is going to discourage people a little bit too. But the other thing we've talked about with Bill is putting in basically a more obvious trail from the ice arena so that people can park at the ice arena and then ride their bikes back to the trailhead and then up. Right down in our water line there where the roads are supposed to go. That's exactly what we've talked about. Yeah, it's like why don't we just put it basically on top of that because it'll be more or less maintained. We said, yeah, we can do that. So we're trying to encourage parking at the ice arena to the greatest degree possible and not crowd that road too much. So we'll see how well that works. I think people are going to end up parking on the shoulder anyway. But we'll try to encourage it as much as possible and put up signage at our kiosk that says, would you please park at the ice arena if there's not adequate space here? Which would be a problem if they're going to go bike. They just ride their bike a few extra days. I don't. The irony of people not wanting to ride their bike before they ride their bike is not lost on me. You'll have to fill in a big mud hole across the road there too. People drive SUVs and outbacks, that'll be fine. We'll let them deal with that mud hole. We could, but then we get floodplain trouble. You've done this before or not to this level? This pump track event? Yeah. We've never done this before. No, this is a new event. We've had kind of informal sessions there, just with friends and that sort of thing. But it's never been anything organized and advertised. So that's why we wanted to come to you and say, hey, this is our plan. What do we need to do to make it work right? Is Gordon Miller involved at all? I'm sure he'll be there. Yeah, we usually get him on all our events. He was helpful in getting that pump part going, wasn't he? That was he? Yeah. He gave us approval to put it in there. Yeah. I think it's been a huge success for the community as far as a lot of people are concerned. I mean, I see kids there all the time. Families go down there frequently. Plus the bikers who are there anyway for Perry Hill seem to really enjoy it. Looks a lot better now than it did a few years ago. Well, and we're going to try to keep it that way. It's a lot of weed-wacking and mowing. So we're working on a plan to basically keep the weeds knocked down. I spent five hours last year weed-wacking it. I don't want to do that again. That was too much weed-wacking done. So we're going to try to make it a little more regular. Yes, sir. Question? Ever. Ever. Ha ha ha. Ha ha. And you have to figure it out. What month would you say? August 24th. That's the idea. Gotcha. You're on. Anyway, my question to you two gentlemen. I said you were doing something on April 29th. Was that a work night? Or was that the pile of the deal? That's our first scheduled trail work day. So that's typically we gather up a group of people at 9 o'clock in the morning. And we have a crew that heads up Perry Hill to do work on the trails. We'll have a crew that's just going to head out to Little River to do some work on the trails out there. And then we're going to try to do that pump track work. For the reason I'm not questioning what you're doing, other than that the April 29th is the day that the fire department is going to be putting on the Wallace Farm fundraiser at the fire station. It's getting a meal. And I would hate very much to see something in competition with that. So we might want to set it at 4.30, 5.30, and 6.30. We will be well done by one o'clock. And we'll be hungry. And we'll be hungry. Maybe we can have a little sign down there. Sure. Yeah, bring it down to the kiosk. We'll post it. Yeah, I think that. That'd be great. You're going to have some hungry workers that are going to get like us. I just want to make sure you were not having the event that night as such. And so we're going to compete with the Wallace Farm fundraiser. No. I could be well done by one. Most people are done by David anyway. All right. You associate. I work at the shop. Long time water member. And Waterbury Village homeowner. Yes. Absolutely. That's even better. We drew him in. We made him do it. So what was your question? Oh. Food trucks coming in as part of the event. And I was just wondering. We have a food. A vendor. A vendor ordinance. Okay. And not sure if those trucks, because they're part of an interior event, if that would be subject to the vendor ordinance. I think so. It probably would. Eat that. It's not something that they'd have to go through with Steve as well. And I think. We can do a day fee now. How do you guys do it? We just did it. We did the ordinance. So we're a little rusty on that. And we went back and forth and back and forth. So. There's a fee. But I think it's only a monthly fee. It's not real onerous. Yeah. There's depending on what it is, there's like a three day fee or a monthly fee. I think there was one possible three day thing. So I guess we would give you that information that that would have to be looked at. You know, we'll give that heads up to you and we can confirm it with you. Okay. It's like $15 or something. Okay. So it's kind of, it's kind of like what our express does for when they bring in all the vendors. Essentially, it's a similar idea, essentially. Yeah. You see, because arts fest does it, all those food vendors under the umbrella of arts fest, and there's more than one food vendor. So we'll have to look into that and we'll verify that before you have that structure. Okay. That's an element to cover. Okay. Just like, you know, the catering is separate for your shepherd and you already know what that requirement is. And yeah. And so would our point of contact on this be Steve Watts Beach or? You mean for? Sort of like for the vendors. Necessary permits? Yeah. Who does the issue of those? Carla. Carla will be the issue of them, but usually Steve is the one that clarifies if they're legitimate what they are. Okay. We can work with them anyway. Yep. Also, will you have like some internal staff that sort of keeps, that will be kind of keeping an eye on the numbers of people in the order and that traffic is flowing okay and you have your own folks sort of looking after that? Yeah, for sure. We'll have our board and then we usually have a crew of volunteers that typically helps us out with events like the gravel grinder and things like that. So yeah. Yeah, we'll definitely have people making sure we're not cosmic or ruckus. So. Will they be riding on the trails on the other side of the interstate as well? No, not really at night. I mean maybe people will go out for night rides, people will do that anyway, but it will be more focused on the pump track. You know, that will be all lit up. So I think the focus will definitely be there. You see any problems with that or? Really? Well, you and I don't have to ride. There's a requirement. Yeah, you guys have to come. Yeah. These guys will give you bikes. Just let Natalie ride. She actually a little scooter or something. Perfect. You can ride the scooter on the pump track. You've seen the pump track I'm sure. I mean, oh yeah, we've all seen it. Yeah. It's good. The kids kind of zing it around. It's an awesome asset to the town. I bet like that would just highlight the asset that you have, you know. So it makes people want to live here. Just kind of a good social aspect to the town itself. So brings the housing value up, I think, of the whole town. Sure. Do you want to approve it subject to getting a vendor permit? Yeah, I move that we approve the event for Bicycle Express on August 24th with the provision that they covered all the permits requested. Was it six to nine? No, it was five to nine. Five to nine? Yeah. Family, friends. Yeah, I think five to nine. We initially talked about it being later, but I think five to nine might work there, honestly. That's right, when it's going to get really dark at that time. Yeah, I'll just say, oh, I guess maybe it'll be dark a little before that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll want stragglers and you'll be kicking out at nine, you know. Right. So I think that's a good window. Yeah, I guess so. So five to nine? Yeah. All right, I'll second that. Motion has been made and seconded to allow the Bicycle Express to have an event at Lumpark on August 24th, 2018 from five to nine and you need to get the vendor permits. And the approval for the bathroom use. Check with the ice rink. Yeah. Yeah. The bathrooms and things. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Well, good luck and we hope the weather is good. Yeah, yeah, definitely. If the weather is nasty, you'll probably get canceled because you don't want to destroy the pump track. That would be pretty miserable to ride if it's puddles. Yeah. Okay. Well, thank you very much for your time. I appreciate it, guys. Thanks for your time. Yeah. Sorry I was late. No problem. He's making this look bad. He fell there before you. I'm a talker. I'm going to put it right on my calendar. Next up is requested a hundred mountain children's here for a fun run at Rusty Park Park on September 8th. Are you follows here for that or? No, sir. Something else? Yes. That's on the agenda? Apparently not. Oh, okay. What is it you wanted to? We, with apologies, are not on the agenda. I'm most proud of that. We're here to seek permission for using Rusty Park or Park for June 30th, for the NQID festival and celebrations sponsored by the Rotary Club. And we request your permission to use a park for that day. The parade this year is planned to go off at four o'clock instead of the traditional time. So we're shifting things around a little bit. And we also are not quite sure how highways work with the village right now with the town. But we're seeking permission to take operational control of the parking spaces around the park where we hope to set up vendors, festival applications before the select board that should be heard next week. Other than those adjustments that I've just described, it will be typical to what we've done in the past down at the park. And I apologize if it's not clear on your agenda and you've had proper notice. And if it requires for us to come back, we're happy to come back. How early were you looking to stop? I think we probably try to start setting up that day in the morning to kind of have operational control of the park for the entire day. The festival itself will be the parade will be at four and then we'll go through fireworks. And then after fireworks at ten o'clock, we'll shut it down. The vendors and stuff would be available to the public before that, before four o'clock. As soon as they're set up basically. Yeah, we'll probably try to start setting up that morning. When I had a talk with Bill for a while, we were talking about the possibility of asking to close down Rotary Way. But at this point, we decided to just ask for kind of control of the parking spaces and we'll keep traffic going through Rotary Way. So there may be something out there that suggests that. But as of last night, we decided not to try to request that. I want to emphasize if it's better for us to come back, we're happy to do that too. So what sort of things will you be doing in the park? Yeah, thank you. We are seeking a festival to serve beer and wine. Is that where you did it before? We did it before in the past. We were done at Farsfield for the last two or three years. But we're coming back to the village. And it will, the contained area for the beer tent will be in the corner of the park where the patio is. I think you still, the village will still be in existence on June 30th. Whether or not it's in existence until I first is in determinant at this point. But June 30th is maybe our last hurrah, you know. Okay. So I think you do town as well as the village. You permit to close the street for the parade and all that stuff. And Rusty Parker Park is, you know, the village. Did you want the parking spaces surrounding the park for the entire day during that setup and just getting your trucks in? Yeah, we're hoping to bring vendors in throughout the day and kind of get them set up around the perimeter. So we would kind of comb things off in the morning and get set up in the morning or early afternoon. And then the parade is scheduled for four. We'll start with the festival activities after the parade. We've got a couple bands lined up and we're going to be trying to recruit food vendors and others. We're also contemplating and working towards having kids events on the state lawn. So we're kind of going to try to work both venues at the same time. One thing you might keep in mind is on the park street side, quite often when we get a heavy event, people tend to park out where the driveways come out from the houses and they really should make sure that those spaces where they come out of their driveways are open. Okay, thank you. We'll be sure to make sure that that's passable. So all the events aren't going to be at Farrsfield. That'll just be the fireworks. You know, our theme this year is bringing it back to the village. So where would the fireworks be? Fireworks going to be behind the state office complex. We've been working with Dave Tennyson to confirm the location, but similar to what was done in the past before it was moved to Farrsfield. Smoke on the street again. My dog won't like that. My dog won't like that. What do you want to wish for that, please? We'll have to take him out of town. When it's all over, when it's all over, the layer of smoke that goes to the top of the street, it's fun to watch. Well, I haven't heard that all the events were coming back to the village. That's the theme for this year. So the music is going to be at the park. You said a couple of bands. That's in Rest of Parker Park. Yeah. And then do you have an end time in mind? We do. The fireworks are scheduled to start at 9.30ish plus or minus. And we're going to offer live music up until when the fireworks start and then we'll terminate. Okay. And then the only other thing I'm thinking of this, there's going to be a lot of crossing of Main Street. For those events you said at the horseshoe and you just, you'll have that covered for. We have safety. Yeah. And we've scheduled to retain five sheriffs. Hopefully we'll get all five. But we'll get in contact with the sheriff's department to try to provide some public safety help in managing that during that day. And I apologize, this is not on your agenda. Have you talked to Deb Fowler or anything? We have. And we're hoping to recruit some help from the rec folks to deal with and help with some of the stuff on those state along where the kids activities will be. This kind of usually coordinates the events at Rusty Parker, doesn't she? Yeah. We've chatted with her a little bit about recruiting some help for pulling off the kids stuff at the state lawn. We can follow up with additional chat about what we're hoping to do at Rusty Parker Park. Are we okay with that? They just need to make application. Yeah, I don't see anything that we haven't dealt with before. It seems pretty reasonable. So you would write this up and submit an application through. Okay. I think those are death. Death, Fowler takes an application. She's a recreation director there. But can we improve that now or do we have to wait until the application comes in? I don't get subject application, but I don't know that you need to come back. All right. I'll get something out tomorrow. I'll copy bill and we need to come back. Let us know. We thought you were here to participate in children's room fun run. No. No, I think we're okay with that. And you get an application in that describes what you, you know, told us there will be okay with it. You can go ahead and plan and so we can approve its subject application. Yeah. Do you want to make a motion that we approve those conditions subject to a formal application to use Rusty Parker Park for June 30th there for that. Yeah, I'll make the motion for that. Second that. Yes, I'll second that. Most has been made seconded to allow Rusty Parker Park to be used on June 30th for the not quite indents Independence Day activities. And closing off the parking spaces around it. Subject to the formal application. All those in favor say aye. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Just a quick point. I'm not going to the light. Normally, the date to happen with you guys, the first item of business normally on the trustee schedule and the select board is to consider modifications to the agenda. That was not on the agenda tonight. Maybe it was mentioned I was doing this late. So don't have a pattern because you were not on the agenda because you had the opportunity. And did you bring it out at all? And never we thought we were on the agenda. We didn't bring it out. And they thought they were on, but they didn't. That's why we didn't bring it out. It was a cool lawful. Okay. And your names? My name is Bob Olson, president of the Rotary Clinic. I know. And that's Harry Shepard. Thank you. Thank you. The emeritus president of the American Rotary Clinic. Thanks. Thanks. Yeah. And that's why you asked for the permit later. Yes. Okay. We'll do that. Thank you. Next up is the conflict of interest policy. No hunger mountain. Oh, okay. Child care fund run. All right. Which we received a letter and they are looking to, this is the child, the children's center that wants to do basically an annual event. It's a fund run September 8th, a rain date of September 22nd. It would be at Rusty Parker Park set up time would be one o'clock. They'd have registration up until three o'clock and then they're having this run that goes over to the state complex from three to 330 and then come back to Rusty Parker Park at 330 to five for food and kids activities. They're going to clean up by six. They said it'd be no more than a hundred people. That's really what they anticipate. That includes children. And they would have some music playing through some speakers but no band. You know, it's just food and celebration and they will need access to the bathrooms. And that really isn't in the nutshell. And what time was it? One. Set up at one. So people becoming around two, two thirty to register. They do literally the fund run across the student state complex come back for food for like two and a half hours, three thirty to five. One and a half hours. They have done this before? Yes, they've done it before. Let's see, where did she say that? Oh, here we go. They've done it annually. They skipped 2016. It's always been very well managed. And they just want to bring it back this year. Is that a Saturday? Well, that's a good point. It's a Saturday. And the twenty second, I suppose, is a Saturday. Any questions? We can prove that it's any complex. I think it's clear because this did go through death hour and she was just like, I think you guys should be aware of this. September twenty second is a Saturday. You okay with that? Sorry, so is this on September 8th or September 22nd? It's September 8th, but they would like a rain date of September 22nd. Oh, okay. Same time, same activities. Hunger Mountain Children's Center fund run. So far we haven't seen the schedule for the bans. Bans and stuff, but usually they end that way. They end in August? Yeah, they end in August. So it would be available. So if you're good with that, I'll make a motion that we approve the Hunger Mountain Children's Center fund run for September 8th with a rain date of September 22nd as described in their application. One to five. One to five. One to six. One to six. To be cleaned up and out. Six. I'll second that. The motion has been made and seconded to approve the Hunger Mountain Children's Fund Run at Rusty Parker Park on September 8th running from one to six with a rain date of September 22nd. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Now conflict of interest policy. It was on the agenda before nobody had a copy. This is the same conflict of interest policy that we signed every year after election. The same for select board of water commissioners and trustees. Oh, that's for signing. Yes, I'll make a motion to approve the conflict of interest policy for the Waterbury trustees. I'll second. The motion has been made and seconded to sign the Village of Waterbury trustees conflict of interest policy. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Motion passed. Signed that with the right hand. Move that one back. Next up, update on the legislative charter change process. Some of you or all of you know we met on Monday with our representatives, Tom and Teresa Stevens and stuff, talked about the questions that the legislative council like given us and we invited Paul Giuliani came and gave his response to the questions and talked with Paul, Tom and Teresa about some of the questions the committee has had that they're a little bit confused by us calling it a utility project and wanting the general authority of the statues and why did we want to do this and concerned about whether we're following all state laws and things. So they had suggested we meet with the legislative council to try to answer those questions. We're still trying to set up that meeting. It turns out that the public can't ask for a meeting with the legislative council. It has to come through the legislators. So we're waiting for the chairman of the committee to set the meeting up for, you know, us to go talk with the legislative councils and probably one of the members of the committee sitting on the discussion stuff. Hopefully, you know, explain, you know, what we hope to do with this emerging the trustees and the water waters into one body and things. So I know that we're going to get it in this week. We originally hoped that we could do that. I don't know that that's going to happen this week. So update on the Supreme Court Hubek decision. Bill got a copy last week of the Supreme Court's decision on the Adam Hubek's case. That was the termination of the police officer by the trustees. And I talked to both Dan Richardson and Nick Lennie, who argued the case at the Supreme Court. And they said it was a very favorable decision to the to the village. They upheld the reasons for firing or terminating the officer that it was a legal disability and things. So they felt, you know, good about that. It did demand parts of the decision back to the trial court to they didn't address the issue of whether there was another position in the department that he could have occupied. So that was information before the trial court. So he said he needed to go back to the trial court to correct their decision with regard to that, that testimony had been filed and was in the record. So he said that courts would take that up. It's not likely that the trustees, you know, would need to be involved in that. All the information is in the testimony already submitted. So he didn't know when that would happen. But it was issued on April 6th was the date of the decision. Open cruiser bids. They were due on Friday at Monday at 4.30. Lefty has been graciously showing the cars and keeping them charged up and things that we have about two bids. One is from the town of St. Johnsbury police department. I'll read it. St. Johnsbury police department. Town of St. Johnsbury currently has an aging cruiser fleet and is in need of a vehicle to replace one of the four with 100,000 miles. The 2013 Ford Interceptor cruiser, you have offered up for bid would fit our needs well. We met with Mr. Sayed, test drove the vehicle and looked it over the officer, was calculated for both the offer, was calculated for both the value of the vehicle and how well was he equipped with a center console, ink car, camera, radar, radio, light, siren, plastic rear seat, the wider gun rack and front push bar. Police accepted offer of $18,501 for the purchase of the 2014 Ford Interceptor SUV. Signed Timothy S. Page, chief of police St. Johnsbury. The other bid is from the Lamoille County Sheriff's Department, cruiser bid. The Lamoille County Sheriff's Department is submitting two bids for the vehicles you have listed. Vehicle number one, the 2013 Ford Explorer, the Lamoille County Sheriff's Department bid is $13,250. Vehicle number two, the 2008 Ford Crown Victoria, the Lamoille County Sheriff's Department bid is $2,800. Contact intubation, Captain William Morley, Lamoille County Sheriff's Department. The bids read that we could reject any and all bids that if we wanted, so. Also, how was it written though? I thought I recalled it saying that they would be bid on both cars. They'll put it in that they had to bid on each one separately. That's right. That they couldn't bid it as a package. And then just editorial thing, the St. Johnsbury, they called it a 2014. Oh, 13. Oh, I wrote it down wrong. I was going to say, I want to make sure they knew what they were. Okay. That was it, huh? So you think that's a fair price? As far as I'm concerned, that St. Johnsbury bid for the 2013 is an excellent bid. And I'm perfectly happy with the Crown going to Lamoille for the price bid. Because by the time we had to remove the radio and everything like that from it, it would put us another $200 added to the cost to keep in that. So I'm perfectly willing to see them both go under those conditions. Sold as is, huh? Yep, it was an as is bid. You want to make that motion that we accept the St. Johnsbury bid for the 2013 and Lamoille County Sheriff's Department bid for the 2008 Crown bid? At $2,800. $2,800. Do you get that, Denise? I think so. The Ford Explorer SUV's bid was $18,501. $1, yes. Okay. And then the Crown Vic vehicle number two was $2,800. Yep. Okay. And those are the two bids that you're accepting. Okay. Got it. Thank you. They both leave fully with all the equipment and both of them are coming out of the Crown Vic. The equipment would go with all of them. That was the way it was put out for the police officers. The bid was with the radios and everything in them. So these bids were expecting to have the equipment in them that they were sending there. They pulled out some of the equipment that was under grants originally that we couldn't keep, but all the other stuff was to go with the cars as they are. So what is the value in the Crown Vic of what you're leaving in there? Well, I've been to the state auctions a couple of times with state police cars and stuff like that. And a thing like the Crown Vic would go with $3,000 to $4,000 at the most, which means that's about all we could get out of it. And the bids were, the bids were with the equipment in it. So if we don't include the equipment, we have to deny the bid. Do you know what the equipment is? The Crown Vic is the rate buyer and the police radio. That's all that's in there. It has a divider for the police protection in the backseat. But there's no other extra equipment in that one. So you move that we accept? I move we accept the bid from St. John's Way for $18,501 and the bid from Lemuel County Sheriff for the Crown Vic at $2,800. You second that? I second that. The motion has been made and submitted to accept the St. John's Way Police Department bid for the 2013 of $18,501 and the Lemuel County Sheriff Department bid for vehicle number 2 of the Crown Vic for $2,800. All those in favor say aye. Aye. The motion passes. Do you want to give them a call tomorrow and tell them what's going on and see when they want to come and then either Bill or I can sign these when we know they're coming. I'll give them each a call. And you put the mileage on? The titles. On the title, yep. They possibly mileage here with me but I can get it right to the last number. You've got their numbers? I don't know. Next meeting would normally be 25th. Sounds about right. Yep. That's my birthday. And that's the Historical Society meeting. Annual meeting at, it's at the... Actually, we're having a meeting that has to get warned. It's with Steve in the historic district presentation from the consultant. That's at 3 o'clock that day. Is there none of that? Well, yeah, if we agreed to it here. Oh, that was the plan. That's why it was. Sorry, I stole your thunder. Do continue, please. That's on the 25th. 25th. Yep. That was a great question. Yeah, so is it okay to do it at 3 o'clock? It's the guy doing the historical survey. Come and make a presentation to us before it. It's submitted to the State Historical Division there. That's okay? That's good. If there's anything else to do that day, we can do it. Yeah, we had a few PM in the afternoon on the 25th. Yeah. And that's when the presentation there. And the presentation on the consultant on the historical survey of the Waterbury area where we were looking to expand the historic district. The three sets of minutes. Oh, I didn't see these ones yet. Did you guys see the April 9th? That's only Monday. I know. Yeah, I did. I called Carla. There was a couple of mistakes and I think she corrected them. Oh, okay. So we did look the above. I was scouring them right now. Oh, wait. Put that in minutes. Okay. Good. So we have minutes of March 28th. Trustee, April 2nd, a joint with the select board. And April 9th, joint with the Water Sewer Commissioners. Oh, sorry. Can you say that all again? Sorry. Okay. March 28th is a trustee meeting. And then April 2nd, that's a joint meeting with select board. Okay. And April 9th, joint meeting with the Water Sewer Commissioners. And I'll make a motion to approve those. I'll second you. Motion has been made to approve the minutes of March 28th, April 2nd and April 9th. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Bids, they bring down a check or something when they... I don't believe there's any set procedure around it. We've got to go about it. We'll set it up. Bids, until we get the check. Wait until you get it out. How nearly wants a copy? Here, pull mine. Oh, that's my name. Yep, that we just did. We can make a... Could we make a photocopy of that? Or I could send it to her. I'm not sure we can get it. Yeah, in there. Yeah, right. That's fine. Okay. You can email them. They're on the website. They're on the website? Yeah. Yeah, I'll tell them that too. So you just go to the town of Waterbury, look under trustees, and... Okay. They will probably not be posted until... Yeah, they're... Tomorrow afternoon. They don't get posted until they're signed. Oh, okay. So you just sign them? Yeah. But if you want them to write... No. I... She's saying... Yeah, I don't think... I think that they don't get posted. Because they have to... They have to be posted within five days. And then I guess they make a note that it's draft if it hasn't been signed. I guess that's what we're going to do. So these probably aren't posted if it hasn't been in five days. Right. So two weeks before the next meeting, they're posted before the meeting. She would just look at it in five days. Yeah. Or even before, because now that they're signed, they'll be posted tomorrow. Okay. Just came out of that book. Just like you can go to get all the agendas there in the same place. It's just agendas, and remember that is the minutes. Okay. So you're ready for adjournment. And we get brownie points from Denise for being here early. Make a motion to adjourn at 8 p.m. Second. All those in favor say what?
