 then is stuck in the board until that lawsuit is finished. What says that? Eli would be the one that I could try to get you some word each on that. Okay. That has to do. That's the nature of lawsuits with boards. If you served on the city council and the city council was sued and your term expired, you would continue to be able to vote on the city council after the expiration of your term. No, I wouldn't be able to know that there's two different things here. One is the lawsuit which holds you in relationship to the board and that lawsuit that happened while you were on that board or city council. And that's, so that holds you to the lawsuit and then the dissolution plan freezes the board until the payments get done and then only the lawsuit continues. Freezes the composition of the board or just composition of the board member frozen. You're actually you're, you're appointed from the city of Montpellier Doug. I'm ported by the city of Montpellier. Justin. Justin Dreschler, Montpellier. Mal. Mal Chambel, Barry. Thank you very much for being here. We have Joseph is attending as an audience member from Barry city deputy chief. And we have David Delcore from the Times Argus and we have work of recording. I like to prove the agenda by unanimous consent unless there's any additions or changes. Okay. Any public comments and approve next is approved the minutes of the January 26 board meeting came up from Kim so it was actually quoted that when the plan has been fully implemented the board shall certify that in fact the members were upon this chapter and the authority shall be terminated. We had to two outstanding payments and you all were signers so you saw the actual bills and that was paying off the lawyers up to their 6000 and they worked a month plus without pay. And then the final check to the city was $7 short of $6,000 and that's because when you went when we went back there was a $7 error where a 97 became a 77 and that trickled down so other unlike having like $20 or so left over we were short. So the city didn't get a full 26,000 but we paid them what we have as soon as those checks come in and the account will be closed. So I entertain a motion that we approve certified that indeed the dissolution plan has been followed and completed. So moved. I'll second. Okay any further discussion on that point? All in favor say aye. Aye. Passes unanimously. Now back to David's point all I can relay is very explicitly that between municipal law the actual charter language about what happens when we dissolve and that the board so that in fact when I told or made the statement the board was frozen at the time of town meeting when the voters approved it. As soon as the final count came in from Barry and Montoya we were frozen in place to remain one to certify it once it was complete the plan that was approved and two because of the lawsuit. If you could change offices and so in our offices our offices change the first meeting in March following town meeting day. So there were no office changing because the board was already in the action going through the steps of dissolving itself fulfilling the plan the voters voted. Right and if you could point me to the section of the charter where that it says that the board is frozen while you're in the process of dissolving you know I don't think I don't think that necessarily I think that has to come to do with that what the board how it uses you can't extend your own terms and you can't I'm not I'm not I'm just I'm just saying you from what Eli you use the charter he used me all Eli Emerson our lawyer OK so he was the one that defined all of our acts he took Justin's initial draft of the plan and made sure that it followed the charter and what he knew of municipal law and we had the plan we put before voters it was approved right yeah no I got that I mean I just the only part I don't get is is is how terms that are expired are still you you're so I mean technically technically by charter you should have held an organizational meeting to elect a chair so that you could have this meeting and there would have been three members who could vote you know Justin Kim and Amel and that would have been OK and you could do it you know there's no reason not to I mean you why not I mean if you're careful going into something actually it is I'm sorry you can't have regular business once the disillusioned plan was voted in and so I don't know all the quoted law but I know what I've been told but it also makes common sense David you have an organization that now is in the steps of dissolving and the members that started that are the board that's going through that disillusion they're also the board that's going to be there that's has a bit of a light thread to the lawsuit even though I'm the only acting one intergaging with the lawyers on the lawsuit again that's according to the plan so I can ask Eli to try to provide you with additional information but we also have changed lawyers thanks to Eli Doreen and Beth at Premier and Piper law firm and they challenge the league's denial of our liability coverage and made an agreement that's a bit limited but from this point forward the league will sign us a lawyer to follow the lawsuit for whatever it takes okay because the first step is the motion to dismiss which they say have like 90 95% likelihood not being dismissed that Vermont tends to lean towards giving people their day in court so that means a lot of activity around that after that is denied if it is then we have the evidence and discovery so if I look for language in the charter that says the board is frozen I won't find it and if I look for language in the plan I won't find it the only place I'll find it is not those not those words you absolutely won't know this came from Eli is it yeah so I'll find out man literally I have to ask him exactly where in the context he got that I can't give you a quote it totally falls in line when I read what it says in the certification and what I read in the plan the plan says you play all your obligations at that point you certify that it's done and then the board remains only with this light thread associated to the lawsuit right yeah and the board can still do this from town meeting day forward when that happened we there's no more business except doing the plan and the lawsuit so I'll get the you know I'll get you what I can from Eli although he's no longer on my dime but I will I will talk to them okay okay I really well David I take you I take the comments seriously but I'm just trying to explain it how I heard him say it and what he's told us exactly what to do and how we've tried to follow it so that was really my update on the lawsuit if indeed the board wants to have more detail we can go into an executive session we don't have a link Donna so we're not going to executive session okay well we don't need to do that anymore put them in the waiting room right okay that's all the business we have other than to say thank you for showing up all the time constantly through all of this not just the last few months but it's just been great really appreciate you all great everybody see you guys soon all right so we'll adjourn the meeting okay thanks everybody for attending yeah and I will get back to you David
