 The item that's on here for the P-Mind Bank to prepare engineering, we would like to table that one until October 15th. We're actually going to discuss that one. We're just not ready to talk about that. The other thing is I don't know if we need to move it, but the executive session that we have to discuss the employment of the town manager, I'd like to move that up into the meeting. And here is move it and be our first reports, motion words that's here. So we take care of any appointments, and then move it to the second session, because we're likely to grant an executive session to talk about that. We put it to the next meeting, but it's probably not too easy for anybody here to stay here and see it. So we're going to move the executive session to be our first reports, motion words. All the comments, inquiry, anything that's not about to bring up? They don't get it. We've got the fire chief. I just want everybody to be aware that we did receive the FEMA grant for $124,486. So we're going to get all our own pass, masks, and testing. Town portion being $6,214. That was a really big score. 95% of it goes to this gentleman right here. He won't take any credit because he did a great job on the grant, and that's a pretty big score for about the level of loans for moms. Just want everybody to know. And what was the amount of the... The total grant was $130,500, of which the grant was $124,286, and our portion is $6,214. Well, that goes to about $30,000. Well, it was $20,000. It was an SCV-8 aircraft accident. At the three of us out there, I just graduated at 10 from the Herald, and the Herald student article, which was nice, we asked, I knew we needed to do a press release, which we still do, but it was nice of me hanging down and was able to talk to three of us, especially Gary, and made about father service, and back, I'd just been on people and just looking for volunteers, et cetera. So that seems like that was the next article. And then he was actually looking down the road in the next year or so, I think he said, he's on all the other departments in the area, so that would be really nice. You know, when the time frame will be on ordering new equipment and receiving the grant and all that, or... We have a... Basically, I think it was well over the period that accomplished the grant. There was other steps as possible, being that there's spit testing involved, and we also have to go out and do it for equipment, obviously. So we're probably living in about three months then, and we'll hopefully, by January, or right after the end of the month, yeah. Oh, sorry, I'm moving in now. So we're three months in a row, and we obviously have a match. I already budgeted it, and so it was interesting, because one of the questions to ask was what the budget was in Harold, or at the fire department, thinking maybe it wasn't a big deal, and he realized it was almost an entire budget. He was like, wow, this is a big deal. So we'll be able to spend that money before... Yes. ...for the energy. Absolutely. We don't usually have any trouble with that. No? Oh, congratulations. I just wanted to hear about that. What's up? What's up? Hope you're coming? Yes, and I have a couple of comments. Because I'm confused. I just saw that food, that's being, that's an item, and I know the committee's been working on this, and I was surprised that the committee is forthright knowing about that. So I'm going to turn it into something like that, and I'm just going to use that. That this is an item, and I think... D-Tree is coming to talk to you, as you know, Chuck Washburn had approached her about doing an escape ramp, and basically don't hate all of the materials in this case. This is not a permanent structure. This is just for the internet to come down, so she said you could discuss that in your recent meeting, and so basically it was trying to move forward with that. Let her know when you got struck on it. I didn't really think of it. Honestly, I apologize as a committee issue. So, yeah, because that's one of our items on our next... Right, it'll be for permanent. This is just a temporary, just for the winter, you know what I'm saying? We're trying to get a minor chorus, and we'll be doing a minor. And so I was just confused that the committee would know that that's what we're discussing. Well, I called I, I spoke with D-Tree about it, and he said we could get you on the agenda, and I'm there on the agenda, and she'll be here tonight, and she had said all those things, and she was looking for a minor and all that, and that she talked to the rest of the committee, so. Okay. So I called, because yeah, I didn't think of this thing because it was a temporary structure. Sure, no, that's fine. I understand that, and I'll make sure next time that I'm more clear about our relationship as she works for the town as well as the recreation role. It doesn't get confusing. So she'll be here shortly. Okay, thank you. You're welcome. Our first appointment is the teacher feeding and the skating rink. She's not here, so we'll move that we move forward to our next appointment. The second appointment from Frank, I don't think he's coming tonight. No, sure. But it's not 6.30 yet, so if he does show up, he has some concerns or had, and still has some concerns about the road. I was able to take him right out with Therese, right? Thursday. He went out there and visited the site. So, he doesn't show up anymore, and I guess if everybody's okay with having our 7 o'clock appointment, he's the kind of reason to be here. So, if everybody's okay with being able to move forward with the census portion of the night, we'll be very happy. Okay, great. Census Bureau, is this a good place to stand? And I'm going to have local communities in Windsor and Windsor County, explain the rollout of the census and its impact and importance to the town in ways that we can make sure we get a complete and accurate count with the census. The rollout, of course, is something that's required by the US Constitution every 10 years. So, every 10 years it's kind of a learning curve for both the town officials and for the communities. What is this and what's going on? And the rollout is actually from the address chart. The census is not delivered to people. It's delivered to addresses. So, this is where it goes to in 15 years. And that means the census every 10 years has got to make sure it's got an updated address list of all structures in the town. In 10 years, there's new construction. There are old buildings that are subdivided into apartments. So, there are new addresses. One, issues. And that requires people on the ground, actually physically checking addresses. And this is already starting. It's going to be going on until the end of October. And a number of local towns have had calls from citizens wondering who is the first standing in front of my house? What are they going to do? It's part of this address standard situation. And anyone who is employed by the census will have one of these identification bags. And we'll also have them given a full background check for the FBI. To the greatest extent possible when we're working in local communities, people from local communities are hired to do the address check and the actual I mean, ratings, I'll get to. Because it's a lot less of a journey period for those in the community and there's a lot less stress on people wondering who's standing in front of the house if it's, oh, it's changing in front of the house. There's a little cheese going in there. So that's who we are right now. And if you can call up Town Hall as it was going on, you have a sense of exactly what's happening. In March, in mid-March, the census will say what is the beginning of the series of four notifications to every address that it got listed in the tab. For the first time in American history you'll be able to fill out a census online. So we're hoping most people will have that first notification will self-report online. It's only seven questions. Some people used to get on a long form that took them forever to fill out. That's been known to me. And you'll find something else in between the seven of the census. It's a seven question census. They can respond online, they can respond online. It's available in multiple languages. If they haven't responded by the third notification they'll get the actual census going in alphabetical app. And then finally, if for people who have not fully addressed the seven of the census, we will send out people into the community to actually do the physical, not the normal version. And I want to put a picture right now. I have a job posted that I hope you can put up somewhere in town hall or somewhere else. As I said, the best thing we can do is hire me from the local town to the local immigration, the local address check. It pays $16.50 an hour and it's completely flexible in terms of hours and days. So it's great for parents with split shifts or mom and kids in school or people who can be working night or weekend and not during the weekend things like that. So I'm going to encourage you to do that. That's one place to help someone get out of their part time or full time job. The importance of this to bevel is that $675 million billion dollars in grant money every year is based on the numbers of census posted and once that census is complete that's 10 years worth of money. And so things that are dependent on census numbers are on school lunch programs, women and children, positive e-gap programs, fuel assistance programs. Most economic development grants I would not be surprised if if I had Robert's FEMA grant didn't rely in part on the census figures somewhere. So it's important that everyone can count and every town has got different challenges. Every town that I know has got different challenges in terms of why is there another why are there 3,000 people in town that have 2,500 children in census or something like that. And there are particular complication groups that certain demographics that tend to be under-counted such as very young children with a zero to five range African American communities being 24 single senior citizens there is a whole series of demographics. In terms of this kind of report for the numbers and I do that before I go into town. This is a pretty typical town for Vermont in terms of all of those red flag issues. The one that stands out today is the number of residents. There's a large number of people who are renting either apartments or houses or a local than generally in most surrounding in Louisiana. And so we want to make sure that these people understand that they have because what do you think the hospitals we have that people overthink the census that you're trying to do directly they think well I don't own this place so I shouldn't respond to my fear or well I'm on the least but my girlfriend this is so we shouldn't have her here. Yes I've got my niece is coming with us while she finishes her legs in the college so she doesn't really count but she'll go back home. Yes she does. If it's a body invisibly in the town but it impacts the town and this body gets healthy towards the town of Everett in the census. Doesn't matter whether they're citizens it doesn't matter whether they are holding up to vote it doesn't matter whether they are leaving there or not and that leads to other obstacles. A lot of people don't want to share things with others. Who's going to fire that? And the census is 100% confident in that nothing we are not permitted to release anything on a ferry or household or individual level. Not to ice not to homeland security not to law enforcement not to building zoning this is contested in the course of over 50 years. We only release aggregate data. So very often people are afraid to say well yes this is where I'm staying they don't have to this is not going to be shared with anybody. So that's the basis to roll out those challenges who want to make sure that every single person is talented. Ways to the town they help with that when you're in trouble. Those are going to be higher people from the town better for the town. If you have a list server or a newsletter that goes out look at the blurb. The census is coming to the ones that attain your opportunity. Your child is 5 years old this year they are a tight sweeper here for the next 10 years. It's based on the numbers that are actually released. Before county census is coming out please respond to the ordinance you should do the constitutional mandate and effects attempt. And then if there are any other organizations in town that have particularly trusted voices because you're a local people that I should reach out to I would work in sometimes there is a broad citizens' groups or groups who do in particular the graphics that we need more for needed to speak to. That's the end I think any more time if you have any questions or if you have any questions or if you have any questions I would love to have you to respond to any of the questions. You can take your job because it's the first office and she can look out for you. You've seen in here a list of specific talking points the ones that I just mentioned but I don't say anything about that. No, that's fine. I'll take a job. Does that mean all right I can send you some work that is specifically made actual about the importance of the census to our community? Yeah, how? Any questions about the schools? Yes, do you know the schools? Actually the census has a pretty broad program we actually have statistics so that the teachers can add that to what they're doing and teach the statistics but it also needs the kids to bring home information to the parents. I know I grew up with the fire inside so I know that getting to the kids in the schools is the way to get to the parents. When you get to the content in the schools you can use if you want to post on the Facebook page Have a great week. Thank you. If we could enter the back in public session so before we discuss the employment of the possible new town manager Paul is just going to spend a moment just to kind of take everybody through the process of kind of what the last three months the three months process is kind of like where we started Yeah, it was enlightening process we started out with seven of the applications we went through a couple of different placement services so we got a lot of folks that really didn't have the qualifications right off the back but they came in across the but we had to look at every one of them and so we did and we lived down to quite a small number it was five I think and then we had a couple of folks that dropped out we started doing first round of interviews and we had one more of them dropped out and then we had I think three left in the end that we spoke with and it was a very informative process and I think it was good for the town where we did that just so we could see there were folks that were qualified for the position so that's that's much to feature on we didn't have three members of the local community James Strait from Barbara Bank and Kenny Griffin and Julian Marshall were also on the committee as well as the President Franklin and so it was good we had good input from them also the backgrounds of the personnel and things like that and I also just want to add that the three candidates that came down to say that all three of them were very well qualified actually in some cases more qualified than last time we had kind of maybe a bigger pool but this time I'd say the three that we had could have picked any one that were really qualified and all three come from a small town type organization that were very familiar pretty fortunate on that you said pool pool okay so I would like to make a motion that we like to move a motion that we offer the position to Theresa Currie it's obvious that she has a wealth of experience in all the facets of top management and municipal government she's very easy to work with she's friendly but she's always working out for the town also and working out for the taxpayers so that's the motion I would make a motion to allow a day at any and Mr. Ellis to enter a contract in association with Theresa to present a contract to support on the popular program working on so Chris and David so the second one is just getting David himself authorization to have an association and then they both will present that back on the October 15th 40th and they both will I would make a motion if she would like to may I be looking for a financial officer don't know that in a little bit on the first ironing out he deals with potential new townwander and then how how the townwander is going to be restructured but have a school ground and be successful and the same thing as when Greg came on he added in the financial end of things that seems to be a piece that he felt he needed to be successful and increased I'm sure about working at things with her intense financial background but we need some help on other things so I'm sure we'll all know about that relatively soon over the next few weeks or months great for the discussion we're going to point it here so Dietrich is here to talk about the skating ring we're going to talk about Dietrich so with direct committee I have been approached last summer 2018 by Chuck Washington on gaming and pool and he's asked me when do you think you'll be putting in an ice cream and I said well it's that's the way it's down the road and he said well I would like you to entertain the idea that if somebody donated the materials to and built the ice cream ring would you consider doing it and so we discussed as a direct committee at that time whether we want to take on another project and it just got kind of postponed Chuck came to me one of the evenings that toward the very end of the summer and he was talking about getting the Z-bow placed there in honor of that he asked again would you please consider an ice cream ring and I said well we'll talk about it at the direct committee meeting and I'll get back to you so I presented his donation offer to the direct committee at our last meeting and I felt very strongly at that time that if we didn't take advantage of this offer that we were going to lose that offer and so everybody in the direct committees and yes let's do this we're in support of it and so I actually the reason I'm late is because we were at another meeting my husband and I used to go to Vermont and I just touched base with Chuck on my way up and he still was willing to go ahead with this and he said absolutely I would be thrilled to get an ice cream ring in the facility sooner than later he did say to me at the time of offering the materials to build the ring itself that the direct committee would need to provide the winner and so I have just kind of taken it on myself to start looking at what kind of liners price ranges of liners just started that last week a little bit learning about ice cream and maintenance and so that's what he would like to do he would like to get an ice cream ring built at the direct facility and it's a temporary great for the company and he said I'm happy to take it in, take it out, take it in, take it out the only problem with that to be you have to be very careful with these liners even though this is what they're made for will ruin them eventually so I asked Chuck are you interested in you know just putting it there until the next phase the master plan comes to fruition and he said no no, I don't mind taking it down you know we take it down we put it back every year so we have that as a possibility of either leaving the place for a few years or taking it down to lay it out and we did reach out on the vehicle so I'm happy to plug it and whatever it is they need to do and in our September meeting I asked CJ how much will it be and the reason we put it off the year before was because we were in the process of going before the development board to get the permanent to do the X to do the X to do the X to do the X to do the X and it's like there's a line or a problem well a whole part the ring size that Chuck has thrown out has an idea to consider is a 60 by 180 which would very easily fit in that spot and in the research that I have done so far with two different companies you want to go a little bit you want it a little bit bigger so you can go over the size and such we're talking anywhere from low football $3 to $400 to almost $2,000 depending on the mill depending on a lot of different variables when do you have it available to public what time do they have it well if you want to do it for this time I'd like to assume there's plenty of money and you know we have a really big amount of solid degree money so we're going to do this when they're running the Sunday day well most are certainly things that we have not even really discussed who's going to shovel every time it snows who's going to carry that so maybe you saw that yeah and of course it's going to be one of those things people come and use it when they're using it and try to get people to work it's okay is there a lighting? we have lighting there's minimal lighting there's the two parking lot lights Chuck can even suggest what we consider bringing in just you know end to end light towers light towers I don't know what that would cause maybe people in town that are really excited about an ice skating park or doing the use of light towers these are things that I and we have got to figure out another thing I think that we can figure out that there is not a cloud too maybe there's only time to the floors right where they are I already talked to the glow farm about that because you're already sure the snow is coming off and then going in underneath and damaging the ventures so they talk to the glow farm and tell them to get a little more fun and they're kind of and they're leaving to move that snow on a regular basis okay that's a concern because I know that some of the clouds are right away at the floor that's right well the question grows and how is this working that's right and then that's good I had a question about snow okay you may have even already done this but reaching out to the Rochester and they have a public skater in September when they put it right behind the school every winter and they may just have some pointers about you know getting cleared off and how the HUD functions well I was thinking too you know there are a lot of people in town that have been pushing for the ice skating ring I post to the Bethel Rec facility base of page I mean I did as a pool director I can certainly reach out and say look this is something we want to do who would be you know who would like to volunteer to help us maintain it and just make a list and then just after different snowstorms okay your next up list would you be able to help get the ice skating ring shoveled off for I mean there's a lot of different things that we haven't really even discussed or shaken out yet but it's certainly something that might take us some time into it I just want to make a comment that I've known about you know the possibility of a ski park but with people in town I've been approached probably by a dozen or more people that are excited that we're even considering putting in a temporary ski park they think it's a wonderful idea that it'll get a lot of use of the ice skating ring over the winter and you know there's a lot of people that used to play hockey and they don't have any place to go and I think this would be a good thing for people who don't want to drive all the rides that'll give them the opportunity to do something that they like I mean I guess the way I'm thinking there's temporary structures they're building so I don't see it in anything even the slight port of approval that will be based on the facility head and the rec committee and the town's manager to do that and we're talking about current structures like that and it wasn't part of the master plan but if it's a temporary structure you know the rec fun as they you have money, you have fun like you can use that as needed towards the facility it seems like it's pretty good bang for your buck you know we're a little bit invested there's a lot of that I would just yeah I mean I think the only thing that I would just trend on is that I think it's a great idea I think it just we need to iron out the fine details of the hours things like who's going to see it or would you close that night or would you buy shelves and leave it there for the public but the cost seems like it's pretty expensive to do that and the goal eventually is to get that a year around so I really do like the opportunity to have something here in Atlanta rather than just to have a big snow bank that's plugged against the parking lot there's nothing going on there for 6 months a year because we do live in Vermont and there is snow in the 6 months of the year so getting in there and using it even if that's January 30th or February 30th, probably 3 months a year that's great for granted you can do anything you do have people sliding down so I think it would be good to get more accomplished here so I think on the other reception board I want to see if you can get artificial I think that's a better kind of three identities iron out that's what you guys want to do do you think you can do something you can create a drama you can actually do something you can do I think that to the state that he came from states there I think he's far on the back I think he's noticing that that's my goal of the year that doesn't talk to spirit that's the same thing so it might require some action something like that I'll reach out to the LCT I'll ask it sounds crazy but sometimes those things don't have to be something for specific reasons but I'll reach out to the lead I'll be happy to know what you want I'll lead and ask them if they need to sign I just have a question for Dave his professional opinion what are the costs of what likes to exist like a spotlight or two on the existing poles to pull the bottle from the light poles there and have them on a timer so that they can go from like 4.30 to 8.00 or something light poles, street lamp things there you know how to call I didn't have a point that would be done so I was wondering if they have a plan for it Dave, at Gavis are people as long as we make an all day reaction to like to like some things you can also look into this maybe getting somebody you know like one of the radical companies United Rental is one of those that like that it might just be a special weekend that you know, late stayers when the lights go out they're always ready see it in the dark they were requesting that you didn't add any additional permanent lighting did they make that your permanent intention on that or was that just this okay we can always talk to Greg Benson and see how they felt about like temporary lighting you know I don't know if there's anything left to say do it we don't always think you can get into as a point of account that it really works in the past but we can we can just ask them do you think it's more because you shine on them so there's how it's falling so we can we can just sort of see the scene just a little bit how tall would we have to be because I know we probably want to 180 feet you probably want to be 50 feet in the air on each hand on the light you're talking 600 watts of light probably the best in the world that's you're not going to be down there you're going to go on a reading down your reading like that and it might even be you get experience on this winter and let's say you only had to open the data it would get enough users you might attract the one user that says hey I worked for my own so don't make this I think you'd be surprised when people don't either they're not either That's right. It might be worth reaching out to one planet as well. I believe they have other schools that have done skating as an after-school program when their town has that sort of facility. So there might be states that other instructors use on a day that you can't donate it to the medical school and that can help drive kids knowing about it, but I haven't had kids knowing about it since I was a kid. So I think I can take a contact with them. Any further discussion? Thank you. Thank you. I put in my school name at their point because it's not coming today. So as quickly as the gentlemen, well, everybody can work with all of us, but there's not a whole lot of guys involved in it, but recently I did a drive from one end to the other. From looking at it first, I thought that the road actually was pretty well maintained for its location and the amount of people that were on the road was probably just as well maintained. That road is, it is on the other roads that we have. Hundreds of people. I didn't see anything. I guess there was a lot of work that went on. I put a lot of work into that road this year. It may not be perfect, but it's not going to process and it seems like safety concerns or the past will also fully move the trains. So maybe it may be more easier, because is that good? I don't think so. Yeah, because it's not recently made, and it's nice for the material, and it's definitely not better than it was. But I do think that some of it must be, because some of the issues, too, is sometimes other people's roads or drives that are bare water from isn't dealt with, so it's coming down and roading. Right now it is, by the way, because everything is based down the road, it's true that it's good for a long period of time, but the whole road is open, around that whole road is open now, and there is one area where you're at, and you still learn how to go next. That's good to take care of around the same thing next year, so it's a little free grant. Yeah, it's a good grant, yeah. It's one of those things. But right now it's being sure to open. Yeah, it looks pretty good. Yeah, it looks awesome. We will move on to another one. We've got our first agenda item, which is to sign bond documents for the water system upgrades. We had talked about it last time. Engineers here as well, we talked about it first in that time, and then we cast our blessing in regards to the moving forward with the project, and now we're planning to just personality assignment the documents that we can move forward with the morning. And Tim Mills is here. Do you have any questions? It's plenty of work. It's a warning. It's a declaration of the official intent of the town's capital to reimburse certain expenditures, but it's a board that will prove that I'm going to sign one document, but it doesn't authorize it. I'm going to sign others. The resolution certificate is actually a copy of the battle with the slide, and then there's some certification later that the town clerk does. They're just posted, certification of the election, et cetera, but if there's any questions of the board and the audience, so Tim is here, and I'm fully prepared to answer all your questions. So just for that, so tonight is to signing the bond documents. So we can move forward with the bond vote. The next select board meeting will be on the 15th. We have designated some time in the air to talk about anything that might come up between now and then. Some of that might have been unforeseen. If anybody comes in and has any questions. And then we get to talk about that public informational session. We only had one listed, which was the formal one that needs to be done within 10 days. So we added one more week prior. So our first informational meeting will be on the 21st of October. Again, to go through the entire layout of where it is, how much it's going to cost, where the funding sources are going to come from, how that may impact the users or the residents of the town, what the schedule of the events might look like, that kind of thing. So we'll be going through that. And then again on the 28th, we'll have another exact same informational that we have in 10 days of the bond vote. And then the bond vote will actually be at the school. At this school. It is. And this is where the end of the battle will look like. We already have a word of paper and so we make copies. So Wednesday we make a battle. And then we say, hey, I think we're already going to collect these people's names, addresses that are making snow burns. Or to make sure that they go where they go or where they have to be bowed off to them. And the informational sessions are very, you know, well, one, if they answer any questions that the public might have in regards to... No, they're all on that page. But just like any type of vote, you know, a lot of times when you're voting on an article, sometimes the articles are a little confusing to vote on. So this won't be the same where even though at the last session we talked about, you know, how much the system's going to cost and then after different thoughts of revenue and money that the town has the ability to take advantage of, which we're in a very, very good position to come away with all, you know, all or even more of the money that we thought about. We still have to, so I'm just going to make it up, but let's say the town really has to pay last time a million dollars of the $2.8 million water system. We still have to put it out there saying that we're having a water bond bill of $2.8 million. So that doesn't necessarily mean that the tax period is going to have to come with 2.8, but it doesn't mean that we have to start with a total encompass of the project and then as those funds come in, then we take that off the top. But that came out over the next couple of sessions that we'll be doing, and then the two informational nights we'll be able to talk about that thoroughly. I already think I had a six in the morning. Yeah, I think it was just me. Yeah, the brown numbers mean. So, tonight is just kind of more of the less informative and more boring. This is like the bond documents, so we can move forward to the next step. And then the next life order meeting, there'll be an open spot to talk about it, if needed. And then really at this point, we're going to wait for the two informational nights that we will have here on the 21st of May to talk about it. So, it's really good. Yeah, the brochure right now that Elliot Wayne, excuse me, is on helping move the brochure right now is part of that. Yeah. I wouldn't be one to throw our number out there at all right now. We don't even have our, our 60% meeting is until October 2nd. And that's only for 60% design layout. So, we haven't really come higher and fast any number that we have in speculation, although we do have some certain guarantees to a point from the drinking water provision. We're not going to be on the hook for a lot, but we are irresponsible for something. Right. And we still have some unknowns that are out there. I think for us too, I guess one of the great things is obviously is that there, for us, is obviously that there's 50%, which is great, and there's still more, possibly 25%. But that really is all hinging on positive, on-vote, I don't know if that's the big deal right there is that because some of this money is first come first served, we know what we can get, but there's more eligibility for money that we can also qualify for, but part of that is we must have a positive, on-vote member that goes through and that puts us a little bit further ahead of the line. So, telling friends. Yes! And it's going to be very important to get through different ways. And the last thing that our town wants is to have on-in corner voters going to the polls on the Fed and voting them. Because what that means to town is that regardless of if we vote this up or down, we have to move forward with the project. If we don't, then we will, the state of Vermont is going to end up revoking our license to drinking water. Yeah, we'll be in violation of our permit of operating. We'll be in danger of having a fine to impose upon us. They'll put restrictions on our system that we would definitely not want to see. And if you do have a negative on-vote, we've boiled water and notices and these repairs are going to come to the normal. And we're right on the cusp of this system giving itself up. I mean, the positive thing right now is that the town is in in a good position right now just because we can't start to display the work for the last year and have two years. So we're already we've already been moving forward with the project and now with the potential revenues that are out there for different categories. And it has set the town down for one after no matter what. But now instead of us just making it up, instead of us having to pay $2.8 million dollars out of our pocket, now maybe we'd spend half that or a third of that, you know, or less. But is it around in the community? Yes. I would say that it's primarily as you just said that. Yes, absolutely. And again, like Tim said, they're still working through some of the figures on, you know, how much of this revenue we can use, how much we can, some of the pieces of the galvanized system and the left piece and things like that. But at the informational setting we'll have those numbers. I don't know, do we have a firm that we will know by that date? Oh, she knows. I think that she was more... She said that the money was there to qualify. That's what she said. And part of that is that we've been identifying the statements on the ground to prove and verify that we have galvanized and qualify to the left industry. And more than that, I completed a fact last week I sent to the engineers that covered almost every street of this project. So, I mean, the future is bright with just this is the time. And again, the faster we move the better opportunity we have to fight these revenues. You know, if, let's say, the Bondo did go through and then, let's say we're back here again next year at the same time, moving this all over again, at the same time with the system, but with less revenues. You know, so it's very important that we take advantage of whatever revenue we can again do that. They have one of their biggest thoughts in my name, right? And they are pushing everybody that has projects like this to move this time. Yeah, I think it was just like what we got, you know, we just got grand-money for the airpads and things like that. And that was, is situated correctly right now for receiving a lot of these grants and getting ahead of some other communities because of our needs. So, you know, when they start comparing our need versus maybe a larger town, you know, we're probably going to have to have more of that revenue by. May I also suggest and Lisa may be already doing this, but an article in The Herald was in the last paper. Yeah, maybe even another one right before the Colt, you know, with the interviews with Tim, interviews with, yeah, Slickward members and to really just remind people because a lot of people still in The Herald that we wouldn't connect with any other way. You're absolutely right. And Zoe isn't really the Marco. Lisa, does that work out well? No, Zoe, is it Marco or Lexi? Sorry, I didn't want to say it incorrectly. It hasn't really been following the issue and she had done an article and she's done it prior and so she is and we're definitely going to do the Facebook front porch forum, we're going to do the man-line and the man-line is going to be clear you know, to let people know what the scope of the project is. Local business owners on Main Street have also offered to have the brochures there. They want to be informed so that they can answer questions so really have a lot of people who see the need and can support it so definitely. And if you think of any other ideas that Slickward's been loving, even people knocking on their neighbor's doors will take you. You need a ride, especially people that maybe don't get out. They have a group of volunteers that get people to to the boat instead of you because that is the hard part. Yes it is. So tonight's end of the day is you know, just motioning to sign the documents that we have so that we can forward with officially putting a lot of the November 5 registry and then staying with our schedule so I'll start with you actually. Yes. You're going to be easy to do actually. I guess I would do one first for the morning of article one. I'm going to give you one motion to authorize the proof of the warning article one. Okay. The first motion will be proof of article one. Warning. Okay. Okay. I would I think we should make a motion to have the template sign the declaration of official intent and the resolution. I'm not sure excuse me. The declaration of official intent and the resolution I'm not sure to be but I would rather you have it than not. Make motion on the authorize and the template to sign the resolution of official intent and the provision of responsibility. Anyhow, we'll see what the thing is. Anything further on that? Mr. Next we had a request to wait for Waterville. Waterville 404 our region and this connection is And so we had made them a vacancy, raised right after the fire, and we're asking that the select board, the baby's answer was be disconnected. And he said, even when the property is repurposed, the owners will be applied. So it's done with disconnection and reconnection? Yep. But to what we had done with building the vacancy rate, but obviously the building is... It is vacant. It is vacant, and what they're asking for is that they receive, no longer receive a bill than this one they've done, you've made it, and you've made it when you know what's happening with the property. Maybe sometimes you do it for a year or six months, or I'm not sure they know. And I think that there was still some issues to resolve, perhaps, when they gave them insurance or something, some of them said they'd not manage, because it's a very bad thing. Yeah, and we're beginning with a tax evasion, also, that the VCA did, so... Did they not say what they're going to do? They were still battling it out on the insurance company, apparently the policies pulled them all around. So I guess, I mean, that was... You could be that you chose, you could pay your bill and then give them two cycles, like we've done before with other people to see what's going to happen. I don't think that's what we're doing with the VCA. We're not doing it. We're not going to do it. Other than change, though, once you make it, are we doing a disconnect? And that changes the law game? Well, his term is disconnect. We didn't disconnect. We just shut it off. But he shut it off? No. I think he just used the word correctly. But he shut it off. He's not going to shut it off. He's not going to shut it off. He shut it off that day. He has on the agency right now. So it's what he used? I don't know. I can't remember. I can't remember. The bill is $1,402. $1,402. $1,402. Excuse me? $1,402. So would that be like eight? Well, how many units were in that place? Six or eight. Six units of section on the register. So where are you going? I'll put it up on the six. I guess what Diana was looking at, the president in the past has been to have the owner come before the board. And present the board with exactly what you're looking for. There's all those time periods we're unwilling to work. And then the president that we've had is to then grant a time laid out to be revisited if needed. And I guess... I haven't seen this person still haven't had any contact. I just was in the packet. I mean, the recommendation I would make is that the owner come before the board with a proposal for the board, just like we've done with the other than anybody else. And make sure you understand what you're talking about. Sure. If he's looking at some of the utilities that have already been paid or haven't been paid yet. Yeah, he hasn't paid this one yet. As well as if this is... If you shut it off and not fill in what that time period would be. And then I know the past that we've looked at things in three or six months. So, I mean, I just... So you shut it off. Take a look. It's probably going to get hit by the trailer truck, right? No, we just shut it off. Well, we shut it off. Yeah. We don't know what the cost of this connection is. Well, because we've never actually known it and we just shut it off. We just shut it off. And I think that's a challenge that's going to be hired to use interchangeably with the intent of sort of running in the ordinance of the use term just to net and the value of just shutting it off or turning it on each other's side. And in all cases, everybody that we have done this with, I mean, we've never actually done this with. You didn't take all this for a feature meeting that I reached out to myself. Like I said, this is not it. I was thinking, you didn't come through these years. You didn't? No, I was just thinking, I'll totally give you a second. 24 to $1500. Thank you, Josh. No, I'm not sure. I've never come ahead. And when we thought what to do and see what the plan is, So I think that's only, like, 40 years because that's sort of what we're doing. Yeah. So, what do you want to see about getting one in on the 15th meeting? Sure. We have a board that issues that. Yeah. So we will take one on for the 15th meeting. We have the pre-bind. We have a couple of email projects that have taken a little bit longer to get out there to do some engineering to be done. So one is the pre-bind board placement project. We sent that out for an engineering bid and we have a little bidder to work with there. But if you didn't know, I didn't know as well what it is. Yeah. You know, I did ask, first of all, can you do the opening? And if we talk with a couple of people who have worked with this pre-bind board, and one of the things we had to admit is to make sure that they successfully worked with FEMA or in FEMA rules because sometimes back in the ancient. And they felt it was fun. They also felt it was a little paradise for this. For this. Yes. We received one bill of bid and we called her to placement one bid for this bank over there. So for the pre-bind board placement, just for the engineering. Yes. The bid that we received was for Lugiano Engineering. R-U-G-G-I-A-N-L. Okay, that was that. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, I put it in. Thank you. And the amount for the engineering cost was $12,476. And I would entertain an ocean to award the dividing over placement engineering portion of Lugiano Engineering. They called down to $4,76. We got some FEMA updates, including the lion bridge. Did you see Lisa Delgado was here? I'm sad that she left because she wanted us to know that she was very happy. She did that and she was really happy with the work that we had done. She said that's been a long time. So she was very happy with that. Besides, she left. Find us on the presentation. Comments. She left. So as far as the FEMA stuff goes, the first bid that we had there was Campbell, Lilleville, Whittier, all in, except we had one cohort that we were replaced on the end of Campbell. Campbell area that we've done here next to the mine frame. Everything else was done. And as the employee had us go out, those cohorts needed to be cleaned out there. They're going to be out. There wasn't any elders in the institution, some of them, and then they're working with Sissy Vaughn. So we were able to live in there. So yeah, that was on that. And then the south-last quadrant one, Brickville, Dunham, Thayer, those sections, that one has been completed. The east quadrant, which is Sanders, Christian Hill, Arnold, North Main Street area. That one has been completed. The north-last, which is Gilead, McIntosh, Lyon, a lot of the bridges that were through there. That contract probably three-quarters of the way done, so that maybe the next week we can have all that way done. So the camper project, which was done, not too deep on the Federal Highway, 90% of that work was done a week ago. And it was like finishing up shoulders in the mine frame last week. So those were done. And then the backover of the reservoir has not been started yet. It will be done in the next couple of weeks. The bottom-less pump station is complete. And then... The bridge. That bridge. But a lot of bridges on here. No. Oh, a lot of bridges. A lot of bridges. A lot of bridges. A lot of bridges. A lot of bridges. A lot of bridges. A lot of bridges. A lot of bridges. A lot of bridges. The goal is to get everything done by the end of September, and then we have a couple of maybe more modern projects. And I think we're pretty good at that. Dr. Montlay, I just need to talk about the Mellow Bridge. And so this is going in as full, temporary work. And part of this sub-gram agreement that we're going to be signing is going to require us to move forward with putting in the permanent bridge. winter, you know, we'll get through all the communication work and we'll go out and we'll end up putting out action months later this fall. We've got to put out to the design bill on that, so there's no way you have to roll into that. I found that out, we're also not going to get our money. So, at least two engineering projects, obviously, with the construction of the industry, and then you can just get handed another human project, because we want more. So we have to get the material out under the Lonnie Bridge, the bridge that's the base of the Lily's Ville that goes to Stockbridge, and that would be the bid for tomorrow's land, moving to the board. We're going to get the board back here a little later, and then we can go there myself, and Scott Jensen is another river engineer, we'll meet out there in a few days, and the framers, that material is going to be hauled to the town. We're on our show, we've got some pipes, so we will be having some out of material. Well, that's going to be good. They are, but it's going to be very good. That's why you're, you know, so it's going to be, that is tomorrow. So why don't you, how do you entertain motions, allow trees to, offer the order of the line bridge to whatever happens to you over there? Yeah. Okay, I'll be right back. Bye. So it's, no it's not. I think the undercut that is the, if I remember correctly, that the as-built was, was like five degrees, I was saying, I think, underneath, but this is, I don't know if that's in the base of the river, bottom of the bridge, or how they did it, and then they were talking about right-of-age, maybe, maybe wrong, I can't do that. They were talking about right-of-age or whatever. I was wrong. He's like, what about your right-of-age? Right-of-age. It's not going to be much different than the right-of-age. Yeah, no, I just didn't realize that. He went in the river, there was some Homer, so like, he had a specific right-of-age, but, so he's going to come down deep, and then the opportunity to do that. But it's not much more than a one-day project, is it? One-day, maybe two-day? Yeah. More than a hundred people. So that happened, whatever. It's not much more than a hundred years. So long. That happened, and then since I've worked on the wall, I've been trying to drop that. And people are invited over here, we're going to, I don't know, we'll be able to go back to the 15th. So I'll go with you. Yeah. All right, thank you. And then he had, he's been talking about this, I don't know, back in April. It's Jarrus, he's got one. No, not yet. I don't know about that. I can't do that. So it was, you know, brought to our attention back in April when things started to appear from snow, that there was a lot of, a lot of complaints in April or May, probably a dozen or so properties with trash that were, you know, stocked up next to the elders, all for all the poor people. This kind of area, suited on the ground. And we did a little research of which that the town doesn't have any kind of ordinance that governs trash, don't care. So we, we had to set a task a regular time that in May it just kind of made you, at night break, just looking through some towns and see what they may have for the type of ordinance that we could look at based on the concerns of several citizens early in the spring. So it lost some traction over the last few months because we, you know, Greg stepped aside, Teresa's command and all FEMA stuff. And then we didn't want to lose a beat of the water on. So we kind of just kind of dropped this by the way side for a while and now we're just kind of resurrecting it. The goal was, the goal was that the board, the one you move forward with some type of ordinance that we would, that we would look for the voters for town meeting days. So if you want to do that, you know, there's a number to get that bigger. If you want to fire that, it's not going to be important. We were going to push on ourselves and we were going to need that we would best position it to the taxpayers for town meeting days to go on. So choose. So there's about, thank you, four samples? Yeah, so Teresa got through and got some samples of some ordinances and these are, well one happened to be since that the town of Epo had looked at years ago. But the first one was, mainly the ordinance was more on a junk vehicle or fake ordinance. It wasn't so much on trash or some material thing. It was more about, you know, they had a fence up to get more than three military vehicles or something like that. I think that some of them as you can see are the big differences to me seem to be that and I have to review the ordinance again because actually I reviewed the ordinance but it didn't appear that it was, but it seemed to me in these sample ordinances that the big, the biggest difference was what they were terming, I can quote quote, pavement. So they were saying that in some of the cases of the town they would say, okay trees you've got to clean up your property and if I don't do it within this they give you four amateurs and you can use those full fines and if you don't, then the town would come in and clean up my property and put a lien on my property so that when I sold or anything like that the town would get paid back. So some of them do have an option or a pavement where you can basically clean up and clean your house. It didn't have that but obviously have fines and you can be fine for every day basically but it occurred. So it would be no grandfather this would be everybody. So actually the ordinance and I see it become very similar but I talked more about reporting their agenda and just said if you like then I can try a fashion in one and you can fine tune it until we put the whole ordinance in town report so that people could be educated on the topic for I looked at what the town was reporting last year but there is more buildings building conditions in exterior we talked about inspections of rental properties which is the front of that too. The ordinance in the same way because I have two dollars ownership they actually have their own building so these I was looking for towns of similar size for that popular property so that's about it. And like you said a few months ago it was very slippery slope when we started talking about ordinance so we might be just talking about trash now but the ordinance of trash should turn into an ordinance of cutting your grass because it's over well then you just talk. So there's the ordinance in blood time started off with meetings and at the end of the day your house can't be painted but the other thing I wanted to do is to come up with an ordinance that deals with the concerns of the citizens from the spring that doesn't go overboard and bring that before then found meaning to hold on to themselves. Because we found that in case you haven't been to our meetings the health officer doesn't have any teeth here to deal with trash and which is you know no one has the authority to deal with this and some of them may not start out as a health issue but certainly can become one. I know on my end I had a chance to be through but I hadn't really had an opportunity to start putting this one it's harder to go through it and then or highlight pieces that you can write and each one of you compares what you like and I can put you all together and say okay and then match that in one version and then you can edit that So would it be easier if we set a deadline for us to give you the information back and then you could tweak something that would bring it to us for the next meeting so is that yeah you could we'll try to do that but what if you had to stand this all competed for? yeah great that's what I'm saying if you all you would give me the responsibility to the police then I can have some of the time to merge them together so you could do your end in two weeks and then get it to me so if we we're just trying to think how we get buying well I think when we do buying let's come up with a draft if the board give you if all of us have the time to give you the information that's buying 15 so by what date do we want to have the draft as available maybe we can put on the website as well as available so the public can have a chance to print it off read it I'm going to be able to stress that then we can I can't because I have not got the week of the 14th so Kelly's going to be gone I can go and teach me a junior I'm going to fill in I think that if you guys gave it to me in two weeks then do you want to do it like the second board meeting or something why don't you just give it to me in two weeks tell me what it's about because I don't know we have to have it yeah I feel a little fine maybe I can maybe I can fix something I'm working on my staff so if we so if we it's maybe three and then maybe three since I go talk on the time that we think we can get on the agenda maybe in November or something maybe what would be really nice for D3P and we'll see if she'll help me I think I'll help you I just think the important part is for us to have some sort of draft that we can put out here in public but don't you want to see that draft first you want to merge it see it and then ideally it would be easy to draft make any edits get it out to the public add another meeting and then move forward with it then you all get need your stuff as fast as you can and we will have that I mean does it when we want that I think not modeling it too much the informational stuff of the water the water that just seems like what we can work on behind the scenes doing that when we're done after one vote well we've got everybody excited that's right just down here I say leave we're on the same page yeah that would be great and then and then just for the break last month we had made a motion to allow the main site to do a coin drop originally they wanted to do it on the coin first now we're at the one down yes the rain day was the 22nd and now they have asked for October to be going on for a bit but if it's the calendar I'm fine with this do we need another motion or are we going to move forward with it why not just you already signed it but you approved it for the rain day so why don't you the motion is to allow the main site to do a coin drop on October 5th at the designated area for sure I'm going to go back first let's work on it okay I'm going to go back to the last time yeah let's wait for 8 minutes for the rain we're going to approve at 7 okay 8 minutes other communications there was the conservation committee notes there and the DRB and Oscar had his comfortable reports there I told him he was much stopped so I said whatever you put in your hands I had a chance to settle on October 5th and the reports that we have here that we've got I've got I'm going to get into it to 14 but he showed me down here with the sound about the consulate I can't say that word not the patrol there are only two items his report that if you look at it on this screen has quite a bit more detail it's what we did that day no names you know things like that has quite a bit more detail so we're going to try to tell you to see definitely more detail because then it goes into the slide the packets and the public can see exactly exactly no he has he has come forward with he talked about backhand hearing that music and I said not without a policy so he did get one from state police which he forwarded to me there was something else that he wanted to do and I said not without a policy so he was working on a few things so that's nice because we oversaw the police department so it was policy he understands where I'm coming from so I want to read it go through to see if I have any input then we can change his name we'll come forward so he has he has written one and he's starting on another policy about a certain thing it's important to make sure that policies and plays protect the town as well as the office so we just want to make sure that more opportunities happen so we're all hanging together and we're all going to be yes so I have dropped the road crew it was dropped on the website right now so I have the draft I want to highlight workers and also for the equipment operator so I asked for feedback from the road crew I've gotten some from the website I just got some feedback the other day from one of them so I need to tweak that once those are both done then I move on to the road foreman's job description so once those jobs are done obviously they're going to be signed by the employee I know that Kelly already has a job description because we had done that I think we had done that about two years ago when I came on I updated her job description and I updated her job description about a year or so ago so the in-house obviously the town work is all statutory um I don't I think no? not so much so yes so the cool thing about job description so everybody gets a job description and actually Oscar spoke to me about that today and while obviously the deal is a statutory we're going to iron that out too so everybody so I have been working on this but um so yes and then of course uh I don't know more games no right and then the other part so this is good and um so there's only a few people that have them so we will have this done so so yeah so you can work on pools and so which is better do you have anything else you can do for the board or do you get to go go to dinner should I go no my favorite
