Grilly will take the lead on Yes, and um, you know, I've gotten to know Charlie pretty well over the past several years, and this is very much deserved That being said we have a motion a second all those in favor, please say aye. I opposed Next a vote authorized town manager to execute agreement in principle Venor Road, Mr. Number three, I'm sorry. I checked it off before we discuss it Discussion and vote Minuteman regional agreement Minuteman school district composition mr. Don So talked about this briefly at the end of last meeting and to put it on the agenda here There are a number of towns the number of the 16 towns in the Minuteman agreement who are Small numbers and who want to leave the Minuteman agreement and are concerned that they won't be allowed to and therefore are threatening to Block the regional agreement for being approved At the meeting that Adam and Joe and I were at at the Westin Town Hall Dover excited that if they in the under the new regional agreement Their costs would go up 82% and they say, you know, we we understand we only send one student But we don't want this to happen and then on Thursday of last week Adam and I and a number of people who have been involved in the Minuteman process including Superintendent Kathy Bodie and our representative to the Minuteman school committee Laura more set Set down we talked about this motion further and it was our collective wisdom that indeed we should support it And one of the things that no one really talks about but is in the language here is that Arlington could Choose to take up this opportunity in the future if it wanted to But the window specified But the motion which I will now read and make Resolved that in the event of ratification of the revised Minuteman regional vocational school district agreement as proved by the regional school committee on March 11th 2014 in the event of notice of desire to withdraw by one or more of the members of the district given within one year of the effective date of the revised agreement The Board of Select and we will not place a warrant article disapproving such withdrawal in a town meeting warrant Unless required by law and will oppose such a disapproval article a motion or motion in any event Second miss my just one question Does this have any bearing whatsoever in terms of the Minuteman regional district warrant article? It does in that We're doing this so that other towns will vote yes on the warrant article I continue to support that warrant like we as a board voted it I continue to support it and this is just trying to advance other towns to agree as well Is this something that we should or that will be conveyed to town meeting when that particular article comes up? Or that's what I'm just wondering only because when I was at the precinct meeting yesterday for 12 14 17 21 Minuteman did come up and then this facet of it came up Yeah, so and that can be answered and perhaps with the chairman and town council because I unless we're really ambitious We won't get to the Minuteman warrant article tonight But I'm just wondering if in some way maybe it's just having the chairman get up at the beginning of the Minuteman warrant article and just make a statement of this vote and then if there are any questions that follow and or It may be worthwhile to have And I know that chair and I are still Discussing who would really be the lead speaker on the Minuteman revised agreement But whoever that speaker be under the withdrawal provision that's allowed under the revised agreement Mention this resolution in the effort that's going on within the district I think that would be the appropriate time to mention that this board and other boards have taken that action for the reasons that Mr. Dunn has laid out just as long as it can fade in some form, so I'll leave it to the chairman and town manager Thank you. I agree. I mean I was at this original meeting as Mr. Dunn mentioned and I think that this is an important step to take is just another Carrot to try to incent districts to sign on do we have a sense right now as to how many other towns might have adopted this already Yeah, I spoke with Kate Fitzpatrick the town manager in Needham and right now the count is at five five She expects by mid next week if everybody who has said that they will adopt that at least eight will have adopted by next week Great and most of the town meetings start next week the key town meetings, so this is it's all happening on time We'd be at 50% Which is what you really you need 50% to say yes, and then the ninth who wants to get out you got your majority right there Yeah, great Any further discussion? No, we have a motion and a second all those in favor, please say aye. Aye For nothing And I'm moving forward now number four a vote to authorize town manager to execute agreement in principle Then our road mr. Chaplain, so what the board has before them tonight? Is an agreement in writing as was described to the board at a prior meeting about the negotiations with the owners of 55 Venner Road So drafted by town council and then worked between the property owners attorney and town council. We have this final agreement It's been executed by Denise long the names trustee from the property owners it has all of the Areas of the financial concern that we discussed and you'll notice that it is Only or it's subject to the approval of town meetings So there's no commitment on the part of the town or the board here to do anything without the approval of town meeting So tonight what I'm asking the board is for formal approval for me to execute this document When it's executed then there'll be a formal vote before the board and the next agenda item And we'll distribute that to town meeting for potential action And I'm possibly Wednesday night or a future night of town meeting so moved Second we have a motion and a second any discussion type of Principle I think we got the wrong principle. I think it's le we've got at least The case like we can double-check it but pending We'll be checked. All right, good great Any further discussion? No, we have a motion in a second all those in favor I I opposed How yeah, how are we gonna share this Are we gonna issue a supplemental report or we're just gonna put this on everyone's chair Oh, I'm sorry, did I might jump again?
