 Monday, June 5th, 2023, the Moretown Select Board here at 790 School Street at the John Cove Room meeting room. Thirty-five years you can get a room named after you if it's around you. You were close, right? You were close. Twenty. Twenty-five. So we have general public comment, and then we have a little change on the agenda. FARC has to go with the wastewater so if you don't mind, just be about 15 minutes and then you'll be up. Is that okay? And then we can get back on track on the agenda with Stepan. Let's first go for general public comment. Ray, I saw you come in first. Are you here for that? I'm just here for the storm. Very good. Yes? Yes. I just wanted a few minutes of your time about the town hall custodian position. So I haven't changed anything from that draft right up that I gave you guys. And what I was thinking is I would go ahead and, well, I'm not sure if I'm the one that should do it or town offices, but start advertising just to see if anyone's interested in it as it's written. And then if we don't get any interest in the next month, six weeks, we could look at sort of that taking the cleaning piece out of it and outsourcing that. So I wasn't, like I said, I wasn't sure. I should post in front porch forum or papers? You guys are usually working with the papers. Can you guys work together on that? Sure. We may even have a contract. We'll get a little cheaper. But you're good with what I talked about the last time I was here. I didn't change it too much other than take some obsolete language out. But I have copies if you want to look at it now. No, I'm just kidding. I think it would be good to come back at a different meeting on the agenda to just talk about the cleaning in general. You know, I reached out to Martin just to talk about cleaning the town garage and I think we could include that in this job description. But they were thinking twice a month. We get our library clean once a month. Town offices get cleaned once a week. So just figuring out if it makes sense to have one cleaning service take care of all the town buildings or if we want to keep having these separate positions doing it. But that could be just an agenda item. I think that's a good idea. And it certainly is how to look at consolidation. If you want to save some money. Yeah, or like I say, maybe someone would want to do it. They have a study in position as written and they'll be happy to take on the town garage cleaning. But if not, it's just something they can consider. That is going to be great. Okay, so I'll work with Sasha to start advertising for you. Thank you, Corey. Thanks. No, that's it. Alright, let me just look online and make sure we have it. Alright, so we're going to go ahead then and move forward. As I said, we'll move with the wastewater process. Can you go ahead and introduce Emily for us as well? Emily Hackett is with the State Clean Water WALVING Fund and she has been here at least once before. Emily, I think I think I've been to the select board before, but I get all the majority of the village meetings. So I'm also in charge of the ARPA grant as well for the village water and wastewater projects. So yeah, and this is an update about that today anyway, but the loan application has been pending for a long time and we've been waiting for data and information to come back from Water Creek, which we finally got just after the last select board meeting and because of the holiday, we weren't able to come back last Monday. So we're here today. Basically, I have a copy of the application. Now, these are not stable, so you can just kind of take it. It's 12 pages long and it's not... I didn't bring it up here for you to kind of go through exhaustively, but just kind of to let you know that we're...the zero interest loan amount that has been determined is...actually Tom, can you get back here for some reason? It's $91,785 is the amount that the Otter Creek is going to be charging for the work, for the study, for the wastewater program. And so the monies that are available for that are the human out, periodically, and so we're running up against the deadline just Emily knows. And so I mentioned this a few weeks ago when I was in here. With a little bit of frustration in terms of what was going on with Otter Creek, but these days things seem to be moving along pretty well and moving towards hopefully doing the test kits within the next couple of weeks or so. I'd left a message for Martin about that in terms of the excavator. But in order to submit the application, we need signatures from all Blackboard members. And Tom, I mentioned that we needed an alternative signature and you were concerned about what that meant to you for that. And it's basically just to have another contact if for some reason I'm a unavailable or become unavailable during the course of the project. So there's no specific liability that you're taking on here. You're basically just another person that you have a contact with. And we couldn't come up with someone on the committee, but I felt that it was important because it's a relatively big deal here to have your sign on on yourself. So that is so sure, so your name is on there and the address for the town office here. And so what I would like you to do is to sign on this sign on page here for you to do. And so before we do that, obviously if you have questions or concerns, and Emily if you want to mention anything in particular that I agree with so yeah, so we have what's called an intended use plan and that runs with the fiscal year from July 1st to the end of June and every year we have subsidy and the village projects get up to $125,000 subsidy per project per year. And so we're getting close to the end of this IUP and so we're kind of the money is dwindling in that subsidy plot. So we want to make sure that more town gets the subsidy for that $92,000 in order to continue moving forward with the project. That subsidy is a 100% forgiveness loan. So that subsidy doesn't get paid back, it's subsidy. We can't call it a grant otherwise it would be a lot more paperwork for you and for us just like they are right now that I'm very deep into. But yeah, if you guys have any questions and what will happen as the project progresses once the new IUP is adopted which won't be July 1st, it may be more like July, August then the project is eligible in the next step to get another $125,000 for the year and it might be a little less, I'm not sure what the IUP says this year for the coming year. I don't think it's going to change much from what I'm understanding but that way the project can continue to work and you guys are getting the biggest bang for your buck in terms of the subsidy available to the town with the project and that way you're not having to touch the ARPA money right now and you can sit there for construction. So we'll sign that tonight and get that off to you in the morning and then we are set with that subsidy. Yeah, it goes to Tom Brown and Tom will work with the Bond Bank that's kind of the financial side of it and more the technical side. So Tom Brown will do the paperwork and send stuff over the Bond Bank I think that takes a little time to do and if he has any more questions or things he might need he will contact Clark directly and probably CCU on it as well and that's kind of how the process works and in Clean Water SRF there's the three steps, step one being planning which is where you guys are on the preliminary engineering report phase, then there's where our mental review that has to be done at the end of step one and then step two is design and step three is construction. So this subsidy is to cover that preliminary engineering report and environmental review. So that will get us all the way through step one. Okay, questions from the fourth panel? Okay, so this is your page and what we need is just your signature and your printed name. Yeah thanks, I mean this is something that should have happened months ago so I'm sorry I was taking this long to get through. About things with autocreak, don't have it straightened out? Yeah, for the most part we are actually trying to get some response back from autocreak for a couple of questions that have come up in the last couple of days so hopefully we'll get back to touch with this by tomorrow because we originally discussed digging the test bits next week but there's a considerable number of people that need to be present for that both from the state and obviously the landowners, property owners, public members of the committee so that's something that we're hoping to align and I'm not sure it will happen next week because of the tight timeframe and so I need to talk with Martin and see what kind of availability I don't know if you guys have any big projects coming up in the next week? We are out on the road for gifted and we're still fairly close so we just have to talk a little bit more. Yeah I saw that I know we have some things that are like probably sooner than later but I think we still have a couple weeks. That's a guess so hopefully please. I appreciate you mentioning that and not trying to get anybody to commit to it. Emily any other questions or comments at this point that you want to or comments that you want to put forth? Well I think just our program real quick what I'm going to do is send over the grant language and the deliverables table which I think Clark has seen and that way the select board can start reviewing the language and ask any questions from the grant side because that tends to take a few days to get answers back on questions related to the grant language. The technical part as soon as we do these test fits I can start to write that part up. I want a better understanding of what the project is probably going to entail so that's forthcoming. We look forward to that. Thank you for joining us tonight. We're catching up on this grant or subsidy. We appreciate that and certainly Clark or myself are available if you have any questions about that. Okay sounds great. Alright thanks a lot Emily. Much obliged. Thank you for your readings. Yes. Hope you're as easy as this. Alright thanks a lot everybody. Alright up next we have Vermont Security. Mike Wheeler. Good I just split over here. So Mike is here tonight to talk about security. Last year we had some money in the budget. We did spend on security cameras and such. There are some grants available. So Sherilyn has been working with Mike on a couple of things. But Mike if you want to go ahead and share with us. Yep so what we had sort of talked about with Sherilyn when we were here last week was some perimeter coverage video on the outside so essentially it's two exterior cameras and two interior cameras just based on what she was describing as the security concerns for the building. Both of the exterior cameras we mounted on that south corner was sort of the thinking that we had since that would give us a nice shot of town the road there and the I think there's a Zivo type that's sort of an area of concern but then another one facing back this way to catch the drive coming up and parking area. That would also look kind of across this side entrance here the main entrance and then in here just one for the meeting room and then one for the general office area. Back towards the entrance like sort of just on the other side of this wall. Yeah exactly so we'll just get that sort of common area there. And then the one for in here would probably be in this corner because that's going to give you an advantage. We put an option on the estimate for a lock for the utility room where we would plan to have the recorder and that would allow you to just sort of track and control access to that room a little bit. Any questions? We did touch on that briefly and that's an estimate that we could provide you with any time but the issue here with these doors is that the locks that you have here are more than style locks and so that kind of puts you in a commercial access control scenario where you can't just swap out the handle set and the lock that you can with the IT closet or the utility room. So it would involve some wiring and some exterior probably some conduit runs and installing electric strikes and stuff like that. And typically those installs are between three and four thousand per door. So we presented the video quote because I know that I was like the top concern and if getting set up with proper access control so that you're locking on locking on a schedule and the idea would be that you would keep the doors locked 24-7 and buzz people in, visitors in and sort of be able to sustain it. That would be the keypad. The keypad is a typical or a carb reader is a typical component. The buzzing would be part of that plan. The way that we would probably design that is that somebody coming to the regular guest entrance would bring a bell and then on the receptionist desk there'd be a screen where a video feed comes up and then there's too many audio between the person at the door and the receptionist and then they can choose to unlock the door from there. So we weren't really sure if that was really part of the initial sort of phase one thinking about security for here but I mean that would obviously enhance the security for this building a lot. So if that's something you're interested in if it makes sense that video is sort of the first thing because you're just kind of thinking about what's going on around the building and sort of protecting yourself and being able to have evidence or whatever of things happening. So in a way the video can obviously we want to be recorded but can there be a monitor here as well? You can remotely connect to the system to view the live feed or playback. You can do that with any of the computers in here or even offsite. Any questions? Did you have another question? Yeah, we touched on the access control stuff a little bit when we were here but we didn't really want to speak anyone out with a huge number, you know and I think if video is your first concern or if that makes the most sense and I think that does make the most sense from a security standpoint to start with that, that's how we wanted to sort of give you the first option then build from there. Ray, you've been working a while, you're familiar with what we do here but also you've been out now that you've been doing some security stuff What are you seeing and what do you think? Yeah, as far as the necessity part? Well yeah, and however what you see in other places you've been just the security of the cameras for this sufficient to start? I think that's a big start. Just going to the courthouse. It's a little more elaborate with the courthouse but I think what he has presented here seems to be in line with what they're in the house. Do you have a lot of office in here? Wait, so people can come in here and go there or is that this door is open and that door is open. I mean yeah, that's another way of thinking about it, you can make that be your sort of secure point but that's how flow things is here. The other element of security is obviously an alarm system which depending on what your concerns are for the property that will sort of determine what route you go next after video. If it's after hour security you're thinking about then I think the alarm system makes a lot of sense because the locks that you have in place are secure to the extent that these doors will allow with the glass and everything but allowing for a monitored alarm system for anything that's happening after hours would be, you know, that's where an alarm system would come to play but if the bigger concern is while you're here working and a concern is for life safety of the staff then that would be that's an access control solution and you could pair that with a panic button solution too so you could have either mobile wireless panic buttons so that if there was a scenario where people felt unsafe they could activate the silent alarm and it would go right to the police Yeah, I think I'm more concerned with daytime stuff. Things are here. We haven't had a problem with any kind of working in or burglary but we have some odd fellows or people through confronting staff just the other day. That's certainly a concern. So you had a quote for those Yeah, have you, has anyone seen that or I did send that to Cheryl in but you're welcome to copy that I have and I can also forward this to anyone who wants that information If you could forward it to Sasha Sasha and then she'll send it out to the whole board What's the timeframe for something like this? Usually a couple weeks at the most we can schedule something. This is most likely a one day install so that's usually something we can manage to schedule in a couple weeks What brand of camera have you guys used? We used Iowa USN. They're one of the larger global manufacturers. A lot of other brands use their products to kind of white label their products but the regional support that they give us and the warranties are really good That's something we like to be able to pass down to customers Is there a yearly maintenance on this or how do you maintain this? We would maintain remote connectivity to the system to install firmware updates and be able to remotely assist you with anything There's a service plan that's $5 per channel per month and we'll be looking at $20 a month for the features that are listed there and you can see that. That's optional But what we found is that with most video systems it's something that our clients have installed and then they don't think about it until something happens and then that's maybe the first time that they go to interact with the system so it's kind of an automatic like they call us for the first time it happens and then they come in for a year and then again and again So that's how we offer that sort of ongoing support plan It's optional. You can choose. It does probably an extended warranty and there's a few other features in the list there for that service plan But you could also just choose to pay for service as issues arise to maintain the system for sure We're a local service provider so we've got other customers in more town. We've got customers in this area We're out on the road every day How long does the system last? Ten years The cameras themselves may last longer than that The recorder has a mechanical hard drive in it Probably the biggest fad of the power supply which is replaceable That's probably the biggest thing that you see fail in a video recorder But I think you could expect ten years out of it with proper maintenance and it's not exposed to dust Every once in a while Okay, yep It's not built in Typically the recorder is It doesn't have that much bulk to it because you would need a pretty significant battery size to release backup of a video recorder which is kind of like a computer It has similar power requirements to that So if you were to connect that system to your standard UPS battery backup that you might have in office, you might get two minutes out of it. You could invest in like serious server grade battery backup if you wanted to but that would be some magnitude of a bigger expense You know probably 400 or something like $9000 Depending on the equipment that you need to backup, but just for a video system you probably spend two or three grams to do that The blower is probably two hours back It's a similar power draw Yeah, something like that I know that in some of the instances, we just bought one at the fire station It was like 1500 and it lasts like an hour if you're not working it hard The power is not up to much more than that right here Right, 1500 bucks for a video an hour, I can see that When you add more cameras, there's a couple different components because the cameras need power too The recorder is separate from that, that's powering those cameras as well So, you know, I don't quote me on it I mean it depends, I know things have gotten more efficient too So, you know, my thinking might be five or six years behind at this point But that being said, the backup battery is not part of this Alright, so why don't we If you could send social dots Which are going to come out M select 4 Since you only said that the passive grant The funds run out, so the quicker that If you guys are going to do this, the quicker she gets it The better the odds Alright, so yeah, we're going to certainly do that for next She said it was like $3,700 Of course, it's 5,000 That's what we'll discuss it later Any other questions from Mike? Yeah, we'll let us know, feel free to call us anytime we're happy to be a resource for you guys Any other responses to I definitely have a bunch, I can gather those together Yeah, I'll do that Municipalities or something similar, please Alrighty, thank you so much You too We have Mr. Stefan Pratz Coming from the fire department And you have some Any other questions? I do I went to three different companies To request them The lowest bidder Came in at $9,245 But it's a different grant to let the other six We have our The middle of the row is Reynolds & Sums Which has the MSA back to match what we have already It was only $94.59 more expensive To keep what we have My suggestion would be to go with the MSA to match the rest of what we have So we don't have one odd bomb left for $94 I think that's what we were trying to do To get everything matched up That's why I wanted to bring it to you guys $93.49 That's pretty good That was where I was at I think that passed And I believe it was $10,000 or less We're inside that number You can go ahead Unless anyone has any concerns about it We don't need anything because it's already been approved I would appreciate that Thank you for taking the time I have a question about When we were talking about the fire truck We talked to the sources I was wondering At the end of the day We put that $200,000 in and it earns 3% We should get it in there to get it earned I know that the contract was approved Or the bomb insurance I thought the money was already there So let's ask Cheryl what about that And I know the committee talked about that Their recommendation, the finance committee Do you remember? The $200,000 Did we discuss putting it into The bomb program? I missed that meeting I don't recall some of the minutes I don't remember We can have a look at it If we have I think there might have been a question about How it was coming out Maybe some reason why it hasn't happened But we'll find it out If we're going to go ahead with the $200,000 We might as well do it What? $6,000 I was like There's too many zeros I've never seen that kind of money I'd like to make money if I can And other than that We've been working on the fleet But we're still within budget But we're going to see a substantial build From McLeod's getting along It's going to cost $4,000 A couple of nights How many trucks is it? $4,000 Anything with a truck that size? $400 for that It's crazy, but it is Things have been good We're short staff, but that's been a common We were just talking We have a meeting tomorrow night We're going to get into the battle reporter A few times a month He can help See if we can get any There's very few, but one of them is the big one Being able to go skiing for nothing It's a good deal Did you guys do the open house? Yes, we did do the operation 3 weeks ago, 4 weeks ago It was a statewide outreach project That day People come in and see the equipment We had 3 people stop Let us know before we can Talk back to the meeting Absolutely That's a good idea I don't think there's anything else I don't think I have anything big going on On a somewhat separate note We considered quoting out the camera system We're putting out an RFP for it We actually did much too We'll probably send out some RFPs on that To just make sure that we're relying on our own policies Absolutely, another company that's not down came And installed a professional grid system at my home I think an expert for negative terms We'll share around that We can send something out to them I think it's a good idea Let's just take a look and see what else We had some quotes from last year That were higher than this one Things have changed I just wanted to throw it out there It's not for stuff with one company That's it I'll get out of your hair We have RFP for the work stormwater projects On point, engineering and consulting LLC Which is gray So Say again So scope of the work Is basically 240 hours at $65 an hour $15,600 That's a great rate of $65 an hour Payment will be for actual hours work as approved by the select board W9 form and certificates of insurance will be submitted Prior to starting work So that's it And so that I think is within the budget And this is for everyone It's not water It's not water It's not water It's not water So when You'll be able to start as soon as they're on the ground I think there's more for you to use them up I'll be talking to engineers about products that are used like that I'm hoping things are where I can have the St. John's very quickly To cover this My intention is that I will cover this job I'm hoping that the 240 hours is on the high side You know after a few weeks I don't intend to be out here every day If you're doing their job then you won't need me That's completely by me I do want to be here to make sure it gets done I'm working for the select board I'm the clerk, you guys are the manager And a contact from the select board to make decisions as they come up and I can't make the decisions Alright Well I think we can find a better person to do it, race familiar with the project Race knows us, we know Ray very well Ray has always performed well above forward I think it's a proposal that John went out from on point engineer and consultant on the term submitted Thank you Robin, any further discussion on the motion? Hi Thank you Ray And we will discuss with figure out John will be the contact Of course it will be a huge John who will bring it to us But most things John knows where we sat and what decisions he should be making Today is 6 6, 5 I'm trying to read it I really like John that just when they are going to be here I'll let you in here I'll take it So Greg last week when I was mowing they were going to have contractors and access would be available I think it's a good idea before the contract gets to here with all the priorities Is it going this year? I believe it was John gives the handoff and then we'll see we'll see how it goes stop it when you can update it I use a major All right Thank you Ray See you guys I knew I was going to do that All right Sasha what are you up to reports for us? I need to reports break You lost out asked sent an email requesting equipment for the direct committee Is that to Chris? Yep and there is a spot available I had was I did the updates on the person I called when you guys gave me that because I can add it to your step design And the share of the contractors in the cloud share it and then member it lodge the grant list and then work grant agreement That's about all I have What are the signatures then? The question was As far as meetings in July July 3rd, the first Monday is July 3rd So I think most people myself included probably doing other things on July 3rd, Tuesday and July 4th So that doesn't even do much better We want to meet on the 10th which is the next Monday Probably the best right? Go ahead and decide that We can make it and I'm not, I shouldn't be there but again we'll have language on this So if you can't I think it's better than that Very important to have the boss on board And that's a little bit good there Yeah, I think that's it Put that out a couple times Robin, do you have anything with Kelly? I do So I had a nice chat with Bobby Halpin about ATEs on the roads so I just basically to get a better idea of what he was talking about He said in the mail He's a resident here He looks up on the comment So in essence right now opening up the roads doesn't change anything that people are already doing but if it was something we wanted to do more of and connect with a club they will do signage There's opportunities for funding to do some work on some of the roads from what I understood There's also enforcement which is not through the SP It's actually through fishing game So they monitor most of the passes So they would in essence enforce everything And it wasn't the feeling I got I actually said come and get on the agenda It's probably better for him to explain it I think we could hear from him the other thing I think this would be a good topic when we have some type of open house or we decide on one of those 5th Mondays that we have or what else something But this would be a good topic of discussion to try to get out of the town But it would be nice if you want to reach out to them again when we're all here It would be nice to hear it from someone who's done it I can't remember what town they worked on it with They did it with another town Let's see if it can be done I'm open either way but listening at it at least People have to say it and get people's opinions on it I don't know what he has to say At least I can have information to correct people on the road But I'm going to totally divert to the people that I speak with that aren't going to be the most impacted by it I can hear you This is a perfect example Because our property borders the main road Tonight the piece that really tried to do was that Enforcement piece that came out of the club And it's not through the SP My biggest concern is just the scope of the ATG The kid doing the escalation on our land His unit goes 0 to 60 Faster than the Corvette It's a huge piece of machine It's opening up trails to that kind of unit That's something we've got to consider the only one that's taking the whole time with ATGs This is a four seater, it's 20 feet long And it can climb up a rock wall And if it's new So we need to slow it down And we don't have to do it yet I'm living here already Is that enforcement? So if we could get some consensus of people who live in the area It just seems like it would be somewhat difficult The problems we're having on that will be a little trail On the road or whatever I think it's a great opportunity It's all about education I would say having him come in Where he's thinking about Refreshing on the map And he wasn't thinking like everything He was in essence thinking of a big expensive slow from what I got That tells me to have a little experience doing it That's how it works There's a perception out there that people on ATGs Are crazy to do it Anything that could be done right appropriately with all parts, including us, me, and AP viewers. Anything else, Kelly? No. John? Yeah. Okay. I spoke with Caliblodgett, and as we figured he doesn't want to cut the trees. But he didn't ask how wide it was going to be, and I didn't know if we ever really decided. I think it's on the agreement, and I think it's one or two... What's the normal trail? The normal... I thought the normal trail was two rods. Two rods, yeah. So I think because we didn't want anything special one way or another when we were dealing with them. Whatever's normal, let's say the norm. So it was too wide. I think we should cut it too wide. So it's cotton and push it out to too wide. Oh, well this is that trail. This is a success to some nice property or...? Yeah, well it was good. Re-rooting an old type of trail. Okay. Trail, uh... What number is it about, John? That's it. Blunt the trail. Yeah. Where is it located? Blunt it's on more time out on the road. Okay. And it's before... There's a ribbon that's hanging before you get... If you're headed east, before you get to Blunt's house. Okay. He'll see you have a ribbon that's hanging on there. So he doesn't want to cut it himself? No. So first Nancy said, no, it's too old. Oh, they need some Travis to get up there and do it for us? Probably not. I... I would... I would do that as well. Alright, so let's talk to Martin and see when... Maybe that's something that's winter. They can do... You know, who knows, they're often busy, but sometimes they've got early winter. You know, it's frozen, they can cut. And we can all take... Actually, we do good if we took a walk up there. Again, I mean, I know where it is, but if we did it just so we can remember. I don't think there was a lot of trees there. It just wasn't... At first I was, you know, surprised that it's... It's a fairly barren area. It's a hill, so rocky hill. It'll only be much, but we should take a walk over there. Get Martin to go with us and, you know, make some time. So maybe prior to one of the next meetings or something, we can just... If everyone wants to go, we can just warn it that we're going over there, walk it, and sort of what it's aware of. More than how we take a walk at it, for sure. Alright, so we'll do that in the next... Probably July is not good, but some time in August we'll try to figure that out when we get over there. Or anyone can go anytime you want. Is it really called the Blotcher Trail? The Blotcher 17. Yeah, 17. And it'll always have been known, people call it Blotcher Trail, but it's Trail 17. Okay, then somewhere on the right. Yeah, so anytime you want to go over, I mean, again, it's the town trail. If you want to go early, you know, you can certainly go right ahead. Is that the trail that goes over to our side, or does it go the opposite way? Now, it goes up to the top of the mountain. There's a, it used to be an old sawmill at the top. I think it was that. Yeah, that was where it was for, it was an old sawmill way up top. What else, John? And I might just mention, Guy Martin's a very patient, so I mean, I... Now, we appreciate that. And you reach out to anyone who doesn't know. Maybe it's something he wants to cut, I don't know. Okay, and then the tree, we've gotten in the tree at Blodges across the road from Blodges. We've gotten in two, right? One quote. Just a one quote. So far, I mean, next Friday, the 16th tree works is going to look at it. Okay. So it'll be two quotes that we have. Okay. Did you reach out to a third person? You're not going to find somebody else? Well, I wanted to just... Well, Cal gave me the name of somebody that he had, take some trees down. And I did call that person, but he's no longer in business. So, but he refers them to snapping turtle tree words. Snapping turtles. I never heard of that. I've never heard of that. What about, is that, did someone rush out to Don have a gun? Yeah. That's the one I have. Okay. So far. And... He's got a gun. I can't think of anything. He has... He has some different prices. Just to take the tree down, I think it was 1,500. But then he had different options about clearing the brush and so on and so forth. And I wasn't, you know, we weren't sure who was going to do all the work or if we wanted him to do everything. Or if the town was going to cart some things. I mean, the waters would be going to Guy Martin. What we're saying in the waters, can you take the brush too? I don't know. Yeah. I mean, that would be fair, right? I don't know. Yeah, I suppose. Right. So we'll take the tree down for you. I mean, it is. Otherwise, we'll just chop it up and throw it on the side of the road. Right? Yeah. I mean... That's a couple hundred bucks to rent a chipper or something. Yeah. It's not that. It's a pine tree, right? Yeah. It's a fairly fallen one. We've got a lot of branches on it. Right. We'll just cut the branches up and let them rot on there. So I think... I mean, it's not like it's so much front lawn. I mean, I went to a brush and it's so much front lawn, but it's not the middle of the woods. So you don't have to cut down that. 1,500 seems really hard to cut down a pine tree, personally, I think. I mean, we had three giant pine trees cut down on our property, and it was 300 bucks. As long as it's not... And one of them was close to our house. But that was a guy that would scale the tree, cut it down, piece it down, and drop it for us. That's what he does. 300 bucks. Thanks. I can try to get a close. Yeah. 300? 300 bucks was the minimum. They did three trees, a giant white pine, and then a couple good-sized spruces. And he did it all for the 300-dollar minimum. I'd do it for nothing. In 50-50, then I wouldn't hit the house. Now, this isn't the one that says I have a property right there, right? Yeah. Oh, wow. It says right on the road, too. Oh, man. They have to shut down the road and all that, too. Oh, okay. 50 minutes reasonable. Sorry. No, that's... You were talking about trail and all this, I don't know. It's right beside the road. Yeah, I know. And it's 1,500 more than the reason because my son's got like 7,000 to pick him up. Yeah, I know. Well, we got that taken care of. Yeah. Okay. After snapping trouble, right? Yeah. Yeah. I don't really have anything for predication. I have some old business stuff. Last time we were here, we, as a group, decided not to go ahead and sign the Bliss Ridge uphaul permits. Mm-hmm. So, Sherilyn kind of looked into that for me the next day and got a call from Ron, and Ron suggested that wasn't a very good idea because it's... The select board cannot enforce a zoning... Right. Violation. Violation. Violation. And there's actually precedent where select boards have done other things like that. So, I would go ahead and sign that, but what we did do was we did have Karen go ahead and give them a violation. Okay. Mm-hmm. So, they're now and the clock is ticking. They got it last, mid-last week to conform. That would include stopping any construction, stopping any reservations or such on the townhouses, the treehouses. And she's looking into it, but they will be coming up with some type of fine for the violations as well. It's $100 per incident per day. So, they'll be... But, you know, we don't look at the blood here. We just want a little respect and then realizing that we need to follow the DRP's decisions either way, whether they like it or not. So, that's where that is. I haven't heard anything since, but that is being followed. It looks like they took the site. Yeah, I think... I think they took that down. There were some Instagram accounts that were talking about it as well and those that ceased as well. So, I think they understand that we're leaving business and, you know, the town has been very good and I know both Karen and Ron has been working with them to try to figure out a solution and I think they've come up with, you know, a solution through their agriculture. Great. Where there's an opportunity for them to have on-farm teaching or some type of programs and use those. So, I think they're going to be able to figure that out. Great. We'll also be some movement with DRP's a few variances, but you know, hopefully, they can probably work with them, but in the meantime, there were, you know, longer during that. And again, or not again, but we also did have a request from their neighbor for to come up and listen to decibels. They complained. And again, I think it might be a little much, but they were making complaints about last year, but through our statutes, it looked like Karen needs to go up and monitor, regardless of when the event was, but she's going to be there at the next couple of minutes to make sure that the decibels at the... So, music at the wedding. At the wedding. That's fine. And that's, I think all we have there and as far as our old business, I don't know if there's anything down there that anyone sees that they want to chat about, but I think we're pretty much up to date on everything we need to do. Yeah, I am nothing that's down there, but I wanted to talk about the crosswalk again for Village. I think it would be good to know what we're dealing with in terms of cost. You know, to cut the curb and to set it up prior to adding the sidewalk. And the sidewalk, as soon as it would be going in in 2025 now, I guess. If the wastewater goes in well, 2024, if nothing happens with wastewater. And... It expires next year. It expires next year. I thought Charlene said that she could get an extension now. Last I heard, it was expiring next year, so it needs to be done. So it has to be done next year. Yeah. Well, I'd be curious to see... Since Ray is right here anyway, he could probably give us a fall. Yeah. So I'll talk to Ray and Don and I can meet with him or something. So the only... You know, and this is one of those things that we all kind of forget, but we still have a replacement on the sidewalk. You know where it was cracked? Right. And I think the guys are willing. They don't... And anymore, they don't want to come in or something, but they made an agreement with the town here through Ray that they would give us a check when we had an estimate to know how much it would cost to do that. So if we can talk to Ray about that, or something that we can get kind of worked in with something else, you're not to cheap that cost, but to maybe get the cost down. All right. Get someone in here to do both that piece and end the step up there. I know we had talked about the guys doing some of the excavation work, but you know, I don't know what their skippers are to do that, but let's try to get some, some of the, at least, where that crack is. Because before we know it, we'll forget about it and then it will be too late. And where's the crack on the main sidewalk? Yeah, on the main sidewalk right past the general store. And it's... Yeah, it's red trucks. Yeah. You know, cut the corner. Yeah. And it wasn't, it was like three inches where I should realize six inches. Yeah. So if they do that there, they can go the other side. Right. Okay. All right. So I need a new business? Yes. Nothing? All right. So let's, why don't we go ahead and sign Sasha's stuff and then we can do that. Oh, you know what? I did want to bring up again, old business. I can just talk to you and sign the Frank Piazza department. So we met, John and I met with Ron, Frank, Jason, the guy doing the work. And right now we are trying to find qualified contractors. If you guys know of anyone, that would be willing to go in and take a look at what's been done so far. We need someone that would be willing and it's only qualified, has insurance, but would be willing to sign an affidavit that the work has been done or the work has not been done. And then that can, if the work has been done and it's done to an adequate, an adequate job, then we can push forward and get the work done. And if it isn't, then we can push the courts to push forward with receivership. Okay. I don't know anyone in the contract. Also, the junk yard came in and they're updated by their thing. Yeah. We're not getting that in a long distance. The place looks like hell down there and you've been hearing from them that they're going to put up. He came in and he's had it. Once you reach out to him and ask him to come to which junk yard they're going to run to right under to across from the old man. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Um, let's look at the dates when the next what's in there next week? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would have happened coming there. Um, because that means substantial work before we should sum up and I mean most of these fans are down. Yeah. It's a mess there. No. It's a mess. I guess you're going to look at it. Yes. Four thousand dollars. Yeah. Mark, do you want to see me? Just need to tell me a second. Yeah, that's coming up. Here is whoops. Is this the grand one that we were talking about? That also only The four? Yeah. Just the one I thought that one would be a good one. This needs to be signed twice. It's the grand list. That's this is the one that I'm signing here. We can just look at You just look at the size of the jumpboard. How do we pay so much? $190,000? What's in here, Zach? The road painting. You guys, I love to talk about where you want the funds to come to that, right? Right. Hopefully we can get the money back later. Anything else with you? I have the monosigns. Oh, I need to get that one. Here's something else to look at. There was a little more, and this is just the table. Oh, sorry. This one? Are we going to sign this guy? Or have you already had this revolving problem? No, we want to hear more from the... This is the extra copy. Right, that's the extra copy from the talk game. Yeah. That's the one we actually signed earlier. Okay, that's not so bad. There's five one-in-one on this page. Will we put the sign right here? Or not? This guy? That was a far copy from the talk game. And these... Do you want to get one of these? The finances? Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay, that's for my view. Oh, I didn't see you sign it, please. 20 million. This guy? Sasha? Thank you. All right, so if everything is done and signed, I think the other thing we need to do is go ahead and we have select board minutes for approval for May 15. I think most of that may approve the flat board minutes for May 15. I'll second that with just one little change. Sasha, I'm the assistant librarian. I know it's only pennies, but still, the rate of pay is 1712. And it's set in parentheses. That's an additional dollar 12. Yeah, the math is just right. But the total was supposed to be... Seven percent. Seven percent of the... It was said how much the... It should have been seven percent of the $16, I think, right? Was it that, or was it the distance between where she got and raised? No, so they had moved it up to $16. They were paying the assistant librarian $16. $16.04. Right. It was $14.99, went up to $16.04. And then, but the seven percent, in the minutes it says bringing the rate of pay to $17.12 per hour. Oh, which is $1.12. But it's really not. It should be $1.08. Okay. I was just going to look that up for you. It's actually a square amount. $16.04 plus $1.08 is what it should be. Right. Yeah. Okay, so I make a motion. We accept the minutes of March 15th with the amendment that John just described. Is there a second? And I'll second that. Very good. All right. So I guess this is done. I would move to adjourn. Thank you. Thank you all. Thank you folks. Thank you.
