 For Monday, October 28th, it is 7.15 and it's time for us to start the meeting. I want to remind everyone that this meeting is being recorded probably by both by the press and by our cable group, ACMI. ACMI tonight has two special assistants. Milo and James are here who are helping out in back with doing the recording and making sure it all works. They're in from the middle school. I also wanted to say up front that if you're here for 6A, which is a one handicap space on the heights business district, I anticipate that we're going to postpone that. So if you're here for that one, we probably aren't going to actually spend much time on it. So that said, our first item up is the consent agenda. We have the minutes of the meeting September 30th, which was a regular full meeting on a Monday. We also had a one item special meeting, a regularly scheduled but unusual meeting on October 24th. We have new business hours from Adrona Tree. We have a request for two one day beer and wine licenses for the taste of Greece cuisine from the Greek Orthodox Church. We have a request for a drain layer license from the Shuddy Construction Company of Johnston, Rhode Island. We have two new election appointments, John Lally and Camelia Donovan. And we have a request for a permit for the Veterans Day Parade Monday, November 11th. So just for those of you who are regular with the parade, the parade is November 11th, which is Monday. It leaves from 1030 and it forms up on Mass Ave down by Walgreens and it heads up to Arlington Center to the memorial there. So that is at November 11th at 1030. Do I have a motion? I move approval of some of the 12 conditions are set forth. Second. Is there anyone here for any of these items who wants to talk about them? I think is there an election work right now? Anyone who wants to talk? All right. I'm seeing any. Any further discussion? All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. I have to abstain from the 1024 meeting, Marie. But I approve my colleague. Of course. All right. Anyone else? Okay. Moving on. First up, Mr. Gilligan, general obligation, bonds and notes. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Members of the board. I'm here to request the board to authorize the execution of $6,851,000 in general obligation bonds and a $450,000 bond anticipation note. These borrowings were effectuated on October 10th. And I'm very pleased to report to the board that a couple of things happened well in the town's favor. First, standard and pours. The credit rating agency rated these bonds AAA. The ninth consecutive time that rated Illington's bonds as AAA. As well, the highest attainable. As well as the bond anticipation noted as an SP1 plus, which also is the highest rate available on a short term note. And I think that's fabulous for the town on a financial and economic basis. Additionally, on the 10th of October, which was the sale date, we were fortunate enough to have eight bidders respond to the sale. And we attained a winning bid of 2.59% well above or below our expectations. We had budgeted for 3.5%, just to cover ourselves conservatively, anticipated anywhere from 3 to 3.25% for winning bids and absolutely had a fabulous result. And I think that's a combination of the good work that the town has done, as well as our being able to look at trends in the municipal bond market and everything just timed out perfectly. So we received an incredible rate of return on that one. So I'm pleased to report that to the board. The also a couple of notes on this, a couple of notations that that are worthy of mentioning part of this overall borrowing includes final permanent financing of the Thompson school project construction of approximately $2.4 million. That's actually $2.426 million. That completes the Thompson school and basically or in effect completes all school construction projects that were planned to date. So it's good news for the town. What's also good about this permanent financing is the Thompson school came in under budget, which is a credit to those people managing that project. But also through the efforts of this board and the town manager and the school committee, we came in under budget with respect to financing because of utilizing the sale of the Crosby school proceeds. So the project came in under budget, our financing came in under budget, and we're looking incredibly well with respect to that. And then I just want to point out that although town meeting voted permanent financing for the architectural plans for the fire station, we did not move forward with permanently borrowing that money. We took advantage of a short term note for one year because of the incredible low interest rate of 45 basis points, which again is incredibly low. And also because by waiting another year and waiting until construction is approved, we're then able to permanently finance that with the construction project over 20 years. It will take advantage of improved cash flow as well as the fact that by doing it then we will maintain lower interest rates because as we all know the short of the term of a note, the higher the interest rate. So we have just performed very well with respect to the results of the bids for these bonds. Thank you, Mr. Gilligan. Mr. Greeley. So Stephen, 45 basis points means 0.45%? Correct. Is that so? Less than a half a percent. Yeah. Yeah. And just thank you. You give a lot of other people credit, but you certainly deserve a lot of credit. Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. It's been a lot of fun. Thank you very much. Mr. Chairman, if I may, Mr. Greeley had asked that I read some of the bond notes in detail. Now all of them. All of them. Mr. Gilligan, I told everyone in back that I wasn't actually going to use the gavel tonight. I was just going to wave my hat when people talk too long, but this is a serious matter. So we should give it the time it deserves. No need to do that. You have them in front of you. And I would point out, I must point out to the board in all seriousness. You are expected to sign the tax document of which bond council expects that every member of the board, as well as myself as treasurer, has read that document cover to cover. Trust me, I have read it cover to cover. And the board can rest assured that the information in that tax document is accurate to the nth degree. Motion. I move approval. Second. Any further discussion? Seconded. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed? 5-0. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, members of the board. Thank you all. Could you wait till the end of the meeting, though, Mr. Gilligan? I have something for you on a new business. If you insist. Thank you all very much. Thank you, Steve. Next up, request food vendor license moving from 152 Mass Ave to 148 Mass Ave. We have Musfakir Rahman doing business as DAGs. Did I say it right? Pretty close. How should I have said it? Not bad. I'm planning to move from location 152 Mass Ave to 148 Mass Ave. It's going to be like a small convenience store just serving all prepacked food and the coffee and slush. So that's what I'm requesting for the food vendor license for my new place. Move approval. Second. Any questions or comments? My understanding is this is all takeout. Yeah, all takeout. No sit down. Move approval subject to all conditions contained therein. Okay. Any further discussion? All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good luck. Next up, citizens open forum, except in unusual circumstances, any matter presented for consideration of the board shall neither be acted upon nor a decision made the night of the presentation in accordance with the policy under which the forum was established. It should be noted there's a three minute time limit to present a concern or request. Is there anyone here who's for citizens open forum? I'm not seeing anybody. Okay. We'll move along and we get to traffic rules and orders of the business specifically Punjab New Year's Eve late night event requesting to stay open until 2am on New Year's Eve slash New Year's Day. Hi. You want to introduce yourself? Just Paul Pablo. Sorry. Just Paul Pablo from Punjab. And you are the owner? Yes, sir. Okay. He's a promoter, Mark. I want to be promoting the event that day. All right. You want to tell us about the event and what you're planning? We've read it. Mark, do you want to? Sure. Please. I'll just take a couple of minutes. We're going to do traditional fair starting around 10 o'clock. We're going to have appetizers, 10, 10, 30 until midnight. What we really want to do is introduce, it's going to be a 21 plus event. We're going to introduce some people from Cambridge, Somerville to our fair. And what we'd like to do is we're going to have some traditional music as well as popular music mixed in. DJ, there will be some dancers also performing some traditional song and dance. And we will serve a champagne toast at midnight. We're going to have a cash bar. Food will go on until midnight. And at 1.30, everything will stop. Mrs. Mulan? Just a couple of points. Sure. And I know this was done last year. It's very successful. Good to see you again, fellow bracket parent. I see in here, but I heard something different from the microphone. So I want to get it clear that in one of the cover letters we have received, you have, it's written that you want permission to remain open until 2 a.m. and also sell liquor until that time. I was going to make a request. Usually when I go to establishments at an event like this, there's a shutoff time. That's why. Do you, are you saying 1.15, 1.30? 1.30 shutoff. Okay. And then we'd like to have everyone cleared out by 2 o'clock. All right. I just want someone getting a drink at 5. No. No, and then. Not that you would either. I'm just saying. So we'll amend that. Yes. To what's in here in your application. That's a friendly amendment from you all. And then I just had a very, just a quick explanation on, I understand 18 and 21 will have different color bands. No. It's going to be a. 21 plus no bands. I read the exact same thing you did. And only just now I noticed that one is dated 2008. I think we got. Okay. I think we got the letter from a previous one, but I was going to ask the exact same question. So let's just be real clear. 21 plus. 21 plus. We will be checking all IDs coming in. There will be no one under 21. Okay. I feel great about that. Yeah. All of us as well. I know when you come with a group of five and three 21 and two or 18. And then I'm going to assume that that valet parking. Yes. Yes. Municipal parking lot. Yes. Is that what you're planning on doing? And you have that all worked out with. Yes. We're just waiting until obviously approval to go ahead. But we've already asked about that. And we've been told that we can do that 21 and over shut off at 130 AM event ends at 2 AM valet municipal. Yes. And we'll make sure that everyone is dispersed. Nobody is collecting around the place and everyone is gone. Yes. Kevin and then Joe. Yeah. Thank you. Are you looking for other dancers or is the offset on that? We did hear that you'd like to be. We'll be holding auditions in another week or so. That's after midnight. The 300 guests and when you ought to be down to about 10 by 2 AM. When I'm on mobile approval, subject to conditions are set forth. And I know you've done this other years and wish you the best of luck. Thank you. Mr. Kira. Just just two quick questions on the one, one 30 shut down on the bar. Will you be stopping the music at that point too to try to ease folks along? That's generally how we do it. So that, you know, we lights go up. We start to get coats. Good. These people out and try to do it so that not everyone is rushing at one time and it's nice and easy and pleasant. And I'm glad I'm also glad to see that you're doing the ballet park and we actually had a brief discussion of that at the previous meeting. So I'll be interested to see how the experience is. That's with it. I'm wondering, do we need to take a separate vote just to, to set aside a parking spot in front of the establishment to, to allow for the ballet parking that night? I think maybe after we voted tonight and it goes to the manager and the police department and officer Rato looks at it. If he suggests that we need that vote, do you think that's the way we should go? Right. Right. But you'll have to give a special dispensation from one to two because they can start taking, well, they start taking it to. What about the spot directly in front of the restaurant? Just to reserve out the spot for ballet. We need to clear that with the police department. Yeah. Yeah. I think that would be good. Very supportive. In other words. I just didn't know if there was any action that we have. A drop staging area. Yes. Let's take a vote on, let's take Mr. President's motion and then we'll take up a second motion and just, I would say we just approve everything and say, and let, turn it over to them. Because I think we're all. Okay. Sounds good. Yes. Do you have anything else? No. Sorry. Just go to Steve. I just have one quick question as well and I'm completely supportive of this. The capacity is generally 225 because I see you're going to sell. The capacity you're actually sitting in is only 150, but we can have up to 300 people. Okay. We decided that. Standing. We decided that 225 gave enough room for people to go to the bar to have. Just to move around. Wanted it to be comfortable. Okay. Thank you. All right. So we have a motion by Mr. Greeley, seconded by Mrs. Mahan. Any further discussion? All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed? Five zero. Mr. Curator. Yeah. I would move to. First, you want to move favor action on the special dispensation from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. I would just say I would say I move to prove all necessary measures to allow for a reservation of a parking spot in front of the Punjab during the period of this event for the purposes of valet parking. You know, subject, subject to any conditions and change and release any restrictions on parking in the municipal lot for the purposes of valet. Yes, of course. Okay. We have a motion. Is there a second? Second. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Thank you very much. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. And remember, I'll call you. Thank you. Thank you. I just have my wife. My wife works at brackets. So just let her know when the tryouts. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Next up is we have two handicapped parking requests. The first one six a has been withdrawn by the proponent first to have further discussion. So unless anyone has a particular reason to talk about six a, we're going to postpone that one. No, we can just talk about six B, which is two handicapped parking spaces. Park of congregational church. And I don't see that we have anyone in particular to talk about that. But in our packet. We have the commission of disability reviewed at their meeting. The request to handicapped parking. The request is to designate additional handicapped parking near the church's main entrance on wallstone avenue. You're the door to the parish hall. This is the park of congregational church. And I don't see that we have anyone in particular to talk about that. So we have a request to the park of congregational church. The request is to designate additional handicapped parking near the door to the parish hall. This is park of congregational unanimous support of the disability commission. They had no opinion on the two hour parking limit. And there were further conversations about that. So we have a record. So we received a request from Judith Phelps. She asked for parking spaces and a parking change. And so we have recommendations for favorable action on the spaces, but not the time restrictions. Second. We have a motion. We have a second. Second. Seeing none. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Five zero. Okay. So that's six, seven approval issuance of RFP for lease of space at the Parmenter School. Mr. Tenmanager. All right. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So before the board tonight is an amended copy of the RFPs that were presented to the board at the last meeting for leasing the space at the Parmenter School. The changes that were made after the discussions with the board was a shortening of the initial lease term and still the inclusion of an extension. So what's before you tonight would be a five year initial lease term and the option for a five year extension. We would also put language in the RFP and in the lease following that, that we would have to reassess the capital contribution, which would be 50 cents per square foot during the first five year period, reassess that before extending the option to determine if that was enough to cover capital costs going forward. So those were the two main changes the board had looked for. We also changed the title of the chart with the chart A and chart B with the square footages in the corresponding square footages Ms. Mahan had pointed out at the last meeting. So I believe the changes that the board had requested were made and it's here for the board's approval if they so choose tonight. I move approval. Second. Any discussion? Mrs. Mahan. Just so I just want to make sure I'm clear on this just because these numbers challenge me and I'm approving this that the previous ISB International School of Boston 901 is going to be $9.25 per square foot and then the same thing with the 668 for ACC is going to be the $7. Yeah. And those are in the way this works, those are base amounts that just to qualify as a bidder you need to bid that amount. Okay. Should both ISB, ACC and any other potential bidder has bid more than that, that's fine. But these are floors. And the successful bidders, whatever rate that is, being a minimum of the two. Being a minimum of those amounts. That's it for five years. It's not commensurate with inflation. No, there's a 2% inflator included. There is. I'm sorry you could say that. Okay. Thank you. Any further discussion? Just one, sorry, Mr. Chair. Excuse me. When is this actually published? When is this actually offered? So if approved tonight, we would publish it tomorrow and begin the RFP process. Okay. Any lease awarded would actually be taking effect on July 1, 2014. July 1. Okay. Thank you. No problem. I did have just one comment, which is having slept on this, more than once we talked about it. I feel really good about this. I really am happy with the changes we made. So I think we really got a good discussion out of that and a good result. Any further discussion? All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed? Five, zero. Thank you. Next up. Correspondent received. We have a stretch code update from Rob Gardy, Arlington Center parking study from Mr. Paul Schlickman and handicapped parking from Jack Jones. So I just want to handle them one by one if it's okay. First one is the stretch code update. I had passed that along to Mr. Chaplain to see if he had any strong opinions about it. And he's, again, why don't you just say what your thoughts. So this is in regards to the board sending a letter urging Governor Patrick to move forward with updating the stretch code. Right. So I did, I talked with building inspector Michael Byrne and he expressed no concern with us moving in that direction. Ultimately it will happen as the building code is updated, the stretch code is updated as well. And since this was received from Rob Gardy, we've received notification from the green communities division that they are starting to turn their wheels on the stretch code update. So it is expected. And I don't think there's any harm in Arlington being a green community, having the board contact the governor to reach out and moving forward with the stretch code. Does the board want us to do that? Or do we just want to move? Okay. We have a motion. Is there a second? Second. Second. Any discussion? Can we just, should we, Mr. Chairman? Can we just boilerplate this letter or should we write a separate one? Boilerplate. Yeah. We can facilitate that. And do we just have the chairman sign or the chairman, all the members of the chairman and Adam? Yeah. Dan? No one toward inclination or implication here, but is there anyone that we should, before we send out the final letter, maybe over in the building department that should look at this? Or are we comfortable with? Yeah. I had a discussion with the building inspector and he didn't express any concerns to me. I mean, the stretch code does put an onus on, on builders and developers to build more energy efficient buildings, which can have a cost ramification. So that's a reality of the stretch code. But when the town adopted the stretch code was three years ago now, that was a commitment that was made. Okay. With that caveat, I'm fine. For the discussion. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Okay. Next up, Mr. Schlickman's email. So the manager informs me that we have a consultant hired at this point who is doing the parking study for us about the center usage and that we should forward this to the consultant. I think that would be a wise idea. Well, actually to the parking study committee. Thank you. I can work with a consultant on that. Right. Could I have a motion to that effect? So moved. Second. Any further discussion? All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Okay. Last but not least, the commission on disability town of Arlington, I don't, I think we only need to move receipt unless there's something else that someone wanted to do. So moved. Second. We have a motion to second. Any further discussion? All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Okay. Thank you for letting me go through those. We do not have an executive session scheduled. Is there any new business? There's a competition on Wednesday night. Town day. Sorry? Town day. Thank you. Is that Wednesday night? Okay. Which I cannot attend. You cannot. What time is that? Okay. Thank you for the reminder. That's the sun, right? Excuse me, Adam. Sorry. Adam. A number of quick issues. I wanted to let the board know that we have gone through the search and recruitment process for a new town council. We have made an offer to one final candidate. And we're awaiting the acceptance of that offer most likely tomorrow. So hopefully this week I'll be informing the board of who that candidate is, of their credentials, and then hopefully next week or the week following we'll be able to, or the following meeting, we'll be able to introduce the candidate to the board prior to their start. So excited about that. Very quickly I wanted to show the board the latest accolade for Arlington. We were honored by the state, the Department of Energy Resources, with their leading by example award. It was given out to two large municipalities and two small municipalities, along with a number of state agencies and community colleges and state colleges. It really is a highlight of all the work that Arlington has done in terms of energy efficiency and renewable energy. So the work that was done on Solarize Mass, the Green Communities effort, Green Communities Grant, LED streetlight changeover. You can see our fleet of Priuses parked in front of Town Hall. So we were able to go to the, actually, the state house this morning and they produced this nice graphic for us as well as this award, which we'll display downstairs. I'm very proud of that and wanted to show the board. I learned today that our LED streetlight changeover is saving the equivalent amount of greenhouse gas, equivalent amount of energy, really, as taking 90 cars off the road for a year. So that's a pretty impressive factoid, I thought. So that is that. In this vein, the town also has recently been awarded a $12,500 owner's agent technical assistance grant for us to be able to hire an outside consultant to help us work with a solar developer to begin assessing the possibility of putting solar panels on some of our rooftops of schools in a couple of municipal buildings. Great. So there'll be more on that, hopefully, in the upcoming months. Also wanted to tell the board that working with the recycling committee, we're trying to ramp up our efforts of having businesses recycle more in Arlington. A number of businesses that have commercial haulers have a dumpster out back and don't necessarily have an opportunity to recycle. And that was concerning to the recycling committee, especially that given the fact that state law requires certain items to be out of the waste stream. So what's happening is several members of the recycling committee have reached out to the business groups in the Heights, the Center, and in East Arlington to start to work with them to educate them about the law and the recycling possibilities, while at the same time, Christine Barnjono on the Board of Health, as they reach out to the haulers for a re-licensure this year, are asking about what kind of recycling services they offer and if they offer them to businesses. So we're trying to bring the haulers and the businesses together to increase their awareness of their need to recycle. So you may hear that's happening in the community. So I wanted to let you know that. And finally, we've been contacted by the Secretary of Administration's Office, and we are facilitating the receipt of the microburst reimbursement funding that our state legislative delegation was able to get for us. So we should be hopefully receiving those funds in the next few months. So that's very good news as well. Yeah. And that's my new business. Thank you. Thank you very much. The award is particularly exciting. Kevin. Thanks to Adam and the staff and everybody. Are those cars legally parked, or should they get a ticket for parking on the sidewalk? Can we get an after-the-fact dispensation from the board? Adam, were we considered a smaller community? You were actually a larger community. Arlington and New Bedford were honored as larger communities, and Amherst and Chelmsford are honored as two smaller communities. Wow. I was sure we would have been in the smaller. That's awesome. Yeah. I think 40,000 actually was the cusp. Yeah. 35,000, 40,000. So we're right. Yeah. And just one other thing, Mr. Chairman. This has been brought up to me, whether or not this is to be referred to TAC or the parking study or whatever. Two different businesses in the center have talked to me recently about the issue of we have, you know, one hour, two hour, you know, there's different parking, obviously, and part of the study is, of course, help us coordinate that. But the issue is, it's only up to five o'clock. And the issue raised was, to help businesses, should it be extended to like seven o'clock or so? Mm-hmm. To just to help businesses with more turnover, you know, restaurants or whatever. But any, should I refer that to TAC, or what? I will gladly refer that to the group that's working with the parking consultant to make sure that that's considered. Okay. Mrs. Grip-Elkin. I'm on that parking study committee. We'll be working on that. That's one of the things that's going to be with us. Oh, great. I'm on that. I know you, but just haven't been at that meeting. Yeah, sorry. Oh, thank you. Never mind. I'll take care of that. Never mind. That's good to talk about. Very to me. All right. Kevin, anything else? You want to have a conversation with the plan? I'm done. I'm done with that. Diane, you're out. Okay. Three quick ones. For the town manager, when you think it's an appropriate interval, I've gotten lots of questions and I know various, all the board members have asked you at different times. What is the state of the never-ending construction site down the police station? If we're, I think we're at the point that pulling the bond and perhaps calling it a day and moving on. If you could just give us an update on that, because it seems like, you know, I know we've all gotten many questions about that. That's just been going on and on. And I know the town manager and others have spent a lot of time trying to make this work. And I'm just wondering if there's at some point, we just say, that's it. We're going to take the money under the bond and get moving again. So I can give a brief answer right now. If you don't mind. We have a permanent town building committee meeting tomorrow night where I'll learn the most up-to-date update. But I spoke with the architect on Friday and he believes pretty sincerely that we will be wrapping up the construction by the end of November. So we do think we're making finally some positive progress from that, but I can provide the board a written update prior next week's meeting. And can you just present us with, I'm sorry, after you have that discussion with Permanent Town Building as well as the architect and project manager, that we get something that there is a cutoff date, only because we've heard it three times, definitely going to be done by, definitely going to be done by, as well as if it's November 16th, once that date comes that you say on November 23rd, this is what's going to happen. Or whatever you all think is appropriate. I just, you know. For us, with the Permanent Town Building Committee and myself, I think we feel it's less about an actual cutoff date and more about a commitment to progress by the contractor. And if we see that evaporate, I think that's when we are ready to pull. As long as you have something in your mind that, you know what? This is the time. They said they'd be out by November 3rd. It's November 10th. That's it. Can I ask a question on that? That's just exterior we're talking about, right? That's... Okay. All right. Okay. Yep. Knocked it down. But anyways, and then the other thing is, I anticipate everybody's watching the pre-Red Sox talk right now, but I know people do play it back over Tuesday and Wednesday. This Wednesday night, we're hosting the Middlesex League Qualifying Competition that I just found out a week ago, which was really exciting. We're also hosting GBL Greater Boston League. So there'll be 19 teams from 19 cities and towns that will be coming. Doors open at 6.30. Competition starts at 7. We only host this once in every 11 years because there are 12 people in the Middlesex League. So this is our time to shine. It's only $5 per ticket used to adult and seniors. Really great event. You're inside and you're not really cold. As well, I just want to let the board know, because I know you all on the edge of your seats about this. And thank you for your indulgence on this. Just want to report that the Pop Warner Cheerleading A squad and C squad, which is the youth cheerleading program, eighth is middle school. C is between first and seventh grade. Both competed at the Songus Arena. Both came in second, top two, obtained a bid to go on to regionals, which is November 16th in Springfield. Hoping that one and or both of the teams will be successful in Springfield, which means they go to nationals in December. We have two really good teams. I'm really excited about that. And if one and or both move on, I'm happy to work with the board. And I know that the chairman is going to talk about this event. I sure will. Well, I mean, I don't want to. I'll be happy to talk about it. If you miss anything, I'll be happy. Thank you. Thank you very much. I'll keep it brief. I don't want to be called for interference as people are making their way to home. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. First of all, I think we should note. I think we have one of our middle school students is actually operating the cameras tonight for everybody who's watching us. This evening are in the replay. So we want to welcome miles, I think. Yeah. Could we don't you think we should ask him to come up and just. Introduce. Can you come up? Yeah. Just come up to introduce. It's a look of excitement. This is a lot up to this microphone right here. Right here. Can you pull it down just a little? Yeah. Hello. How'd you get this job? Well, I don't know. I've just kind of like doing things with movies and me and my dad, I was in house at ACMI at the building and then there was all these programs that we could sign up for and I originally signed up for the animation class but not enough people signed up and then I saw this and I thought this would be fun so we came here. Thank you. Can I ask is it miles? It's Milo. Milo. So you've been operating the camera back there. Yeah. Which one of us, which one looks best on television? I don't know. That's hard. You'll be sitting over here. Yes. Milo, thank you very much. You're welcome. Thank you. Okay. This is I think the third time now center parking issues come up but I know it's like a broken record but got a report that this weekend during the Lincoln International Film Festival both machines were broken and people were ticketed. The patrons and the volunteers were ticketed and I'm feeling really frustrated about this and I'm hearing the frustration coming out of the center so I don't know what the timetable is for the parking the center parking study committee but if it's not imminent I'm gonna recommend that we put this specific issue on our agenda and look at what the revenue is from those machines, what the costs are maintaining them, and what the track record is of appeals and adjudications because that's gonna be a lot of angry people coming in when they're ticketed when the machines are out when both machines are out. That's a report I got. Maybe that's not accurate. I do know that the report that came back to me was that we realized they were down on Saturday to suspend any enforcement based on the tickets being down machines being down so they may have been ticketing Friday night but I know Saturday and the remainder of the weekend it was another case. It's frustrating because we've gotten obviously some of the businesses have complained the past and we had to make the special dispensation for the farmers market so it's starting to burn a lot of cycles so I put that out there and I may be coming back for an agenda request. Joe, I am totally with you and I've run up and down this hill a few different times but I also, so I think what we need more than anything else is creativity because I don't know what this is I mean, this parking study is the best result that I could have obtained when I was working on it and I'm open to other ideas. Well if we're losing money on them and I don't know it probably aren't but I'd love to see the data if we're losing money on them and we'll have to find a solution to the operation until we have that better solution in the end but that's maybe a conversation, a longer conversation for another night but yeah, that's kind of oh, okay okay yeah, cause this thing it's killing me and just the last thing I wanted to note is anyone who has children 10 years and younger, the Chamber of Commerce and our three business districts a Halloween you're treating it, participating businesses from three to five children 10 or under on Halloween and I think even a couple of our town departments might be participating, I'm not sure I thought I saw that on the, I might be wrong I might be wrong on that so look for the blue ones outside the business but all of the districts are participating thank you, thank you Joe yeah, very quickly as my colleagues know, last week the board lost one of its biggest fans in my grandfather, Donald Byrne and I just want to quickly thank everyone, town employees everyone throughout town for the outpouring of support my family and I received the support, the kind words and prayers have been overwhelming and we're very fortunate to have everyone once in high school someone told me that joy shared is multiplied while grief shared is divided and that certainly has reined true over the past week so thank you and that is, that's it for me we're all very excited to hear thank you I have only one item and that is large and orange actually in my case extra large and so we had our meeting, we had a special meeting and we approved a race which was the Trick or Trot, our new AD has organized some fundraising, joint fundraising for multiple teams and this was the inaugural Halloween road race that ran this weekend and evidently we got swag from it so I think I would look for I think it's going to be an interesting event to keep track of and I would definitely support the efforts she's doing, excuse me for fundraising anything else we have a motion to adjourn all those in favor please say aye go Red Sox
