 So first let's start off with the minutes that we had to table from the August 13th meeting when I and Tom were there so last meeting it was only Pat and I and so I would move now that Thomas here with me and Pat to approve those minutes second pass in all favor And then we have the meetings from the August 28th meeting When Tom wasn't there, Pat wasn't there So Pat and I can improve those minutes and let's move so I second All in favor? Aye All right, so there you have that And somebody's coming in So we're down to guest, Janice You had something to talk about the moment Yeah, I know that the road crew changed and he hired a new person and that's when I saw in the paper that somebody hadn't hired and there was also something about putting bids out for mowing and I called Joanne the next day or next business day that she was here and told her and she gave me the phone number in the garage and told me to leave a message down there and in the past and I remember Robert Mayer when he was doing road stuff and was on the select board sent me the orange book to look at but there's really not much guidance in the orange book and it's not the law it's just the guidance because I got really angry because they totally killed my trees and he said that the town owns 12 feet from the center well you don't own it but you have the right-of-way 12 feet from the center but these trees are over 20 feet from the center but they put that side deck up and they go right along and push back and they just totally, they're just totally gone again so this is like three or four years The side branches are gone, not the whole tree well there's a few sticks left at the base but I mean they took down stuff this big around but they're hazelnuts, they don't get to be trees they're kind of like shrubs and hedgerows so and I got really upset when this happened and that's when Robert sent me the book and then they didn't do it for a few years so I don't know if you got somebody new or they forgot it's not a radio and a road crew that does the mowing right, somebody else, you hire somebody I understand that and I put the tape out, start here, stop there and the tapes land in the gutter with the rest of my shrubs trees, whatever they are so I just don't want to get mowed anymore I just don't want to deal with it anymore can I do that? Just hop out How much road front did you talk about? Not a whole lot Not much at all, hardly You end up being the whole town but you know, you just hit in most places where it's really infested early, before flowers and then you know doing the regular roadside mowing but there's really no, there's not going to be any sap in that unless people get out and pull it and they had a whole big thing right, on my porch floor did you see that Harlan? Well I've been pulling mine for the last couple of years and I've got it under control There's not a stick of it on my land or welfare plan It's just that it comes in people below me don't yank it and it comes in on the machine you know and if you can just keep up with it for a couple of years you can kind of get it under control just by pulling the stuff that's flower you know, I mean you've got all these little things but they don't do anything it's the ones that flower and put the seeds out if you keep up with those you can get it So anyway, I just thought I'd throw that out there I just have to think about it and say something, I forget So I guess, so you saw it in the paper when we asked Martha to mention about the mowing and people didn't want it or if there was at that point we're also asking for really bad spots because we didn't know what that we were going to get a bid that was going to do the whole town you know so I guess next time just well I guess she called you but it didn't um, yeah it was probably not the town garage it was not who to call because they were not the ones doing it we'll um try again to not do it next year I guess it's worth putting it in the paper I guess because that's how you I don't get the paper and I don't always read it I just happen to volunteer at the library on Saturdays and once in a while I pick it up or I wouldn't but I usually am around and hear them coming but I I don't know when they did it but I noticed it Tuesday well I noticed it Wednesday morning so they must have done it sometime Tuesday and I wasn't around what about some kind of list maybe that people could just get on that's what I'm saying yeah like that sign up and you won't touch it yeah yeah well it's true because when you contract you can hand the mower here's the no-mow here's the no-mow list right and we've got X-mon miles that don't need me mow so so you're considering having a do-not-mow list or something is that what it's something like I get a no-mow list you go win the contract contract right exactly so who does who interfaces with the contractor if not the road crew well we'll select one for you okay alright so you guys want to be the first two on the no-mow list yeah absolutely you'll be the first two select me I forgot to put the big mower they know I mean it's definitely you can't you can't you can't just expect them to be mowing and reading them out and setting them up actually steaks with tape with tape with tape with tape you know right next to the road couple of great steaks with tape well maybe we should maybe we should just set a standard for for that you know steaks and tape or whatever just say look you know why this is what a homeowner needs to do it's going to take three or four years for this to come back and I'm really considering but if they crash a little messing with their mower then their mower's going to address but I don't know how great basket of the hazelnuts last year I'm not going to have anything to worry for years now yeah I grow hazelnuts too so I understand it's not an easy thing to do when you battle the deer and the bear and the chipmunks and the squirrels but you know I did get some last year oh sorry about that yeah it's unfortunate so what we need to do is get out our twenty nineteen day planners and make sure this is in place next year last year we didn't even do mowing so I just did right there's no bridge from one to the other so Martha did that be yeah I'm just saying you're considering putting together a doing that mow list to be given to the mowing contractor next year and homeowners are also going to be urged to put out tape in science areas of their property that they don't want mowed what's that you don't want mow yet happy to have it mowed I would just offer a comment that some of the roads that get mowed are they feel like one car wide roads and there is a point when the trees are going to start growing into the road and become a problem and we know what happens there well that's why the bid specified set that one and it's fifteen vertical mark it's fifteen fifteen feet yeah off the well these are way beyond that and they're up fifteen feet from the center line is that what you're saying that's what they say fifteen feet from the center that's on the road that's on how wide the road is because I live on Main Street and I remember someone telling me you're a street that's the same highway that's different because when I planted my oak trees that you know you were in the state right of way by one foot they told me and I'm like well it's twenty feet tall now I can't do anything though apologies on that got speaking of roads we don't have anybody here from the road but we do we can announce we have a third member of the road crew again which is Teddy Smith who knows the ropes and has been there before so we got full contingent for this winter got the got trucks they're all awake and ready so let's not talk about it and jinx it did they get the new one here? yep yes yes 550 is all set and so a new truck is arrived? yeah a new one ton plastic truck yeah four a really small one medium yep by 50 medium right not a pickup a small one yeah mm-hmm yes okay yeah that's all a lot of problems okay yep the from Joan couldn't be here tonight so we have a few updates from her the most important one I guess is back to the wastewater project which is just about done okay just about done and last meeting we were able to keep from increasing the bond by skipping the not telepathy the telemetry and we're just going to like telepathy but but we've been advised that we should still raise the bond by $20,000 to cover the 8 to 10,000 increases that we know we have and just to have a little bit of extra elbow room over that and so I would pass the resolution to do that increase the bond to 20 another to 520,000 I'm sorry I didn't quite get what the bond was for this is for the wastewater the the septic field school behind the school yeah behind the school $20,000 for more yeah and we have the two change orders to sign from also got all in favor I got it we also have the municipal resolution for the municipal planning grant to address the zoning and the planning commission if we need to read this whole thing whereas the municipality of Rochester is applying for funding as provided by in the FY19 Budget Act may receive an award of funds under said provisions and whereas the Department of Housing and Community Development may offer a grant agreement to this municipality for said provisions and whereas the municipality is maintaining this efforts to provide local funds for municipal and regional planning purposes or that the municipality has voted at an annual or special meeting like tonight to provide local funds for municipal and regional planning purposes so may move to accept that resolution in a second all in favor all right all right you cannot wake up now yeah so the resolution came from where though somehow we did that part this is the town resolving to apply through two rivers for a municipal planning grant grant this is towards the town plan yeah yeah through two rivers on the creek had been the town had been studied and analyzed in terms of the controlling storm water runoff and and the site right behind town office here where the basically where the snow is cloud has been proposed for a site for an in-ground chamber system to filter and treat runoff from the snow pile and also in summer and it would be able to be driven over and and paved and just I guess that's that's their proposal doesn't happen right away no it's not something to happen right I guess just informational that's what they've identified as the low-hanging fruit in terms of an initial project that what we were partnership so they they dug three holes and three different sites and so this is the site that they feel needs that drainage the most over the other two or is that going to connect with the other two I think this is the it's the easiest but it it seemed like it was a less complicated of that but I think it's a starting point and they'll be encouraging us to place snow on that spot I don't know I would think on that spot because then it would melted runoff beyond that spot but all the runoff from the snow that's plowed up on the bank to the the left here by the from this parking lot from that parking lot over there all basically runs down to that point to the river that's only been plowed that way for the past three years it was never done before so we put that to how they used to plow it so that it's not a problem right now I don't know where the heck they put it but they sure as hell didn't pile it up over there like they have been it was not put up that way would you take it away? very possible because they used to plow pretty much just to the end of the where the grass starts maybe a little bit beyond that but they never went that far back up until like three years ago so that's creating a problem maybe what we can do is try to avoid that for now until the dust settles with all the other grants and we can sit down and figure out how much this is going to cost us this system is just for snow in this area I don't think so it seems to me that this would be addressing summertime rainwater also running off at the whole parking lot so I guess well this is just I think informational about what they've you know what they'd like to talk further on so there's to be continued to be continued just for informational and those were Joan's updates absolutely business yeah and we have a proposal to put in the paper a bid for the actually soliciting two separate bids for the painting of this building one for the whole building and one for only the front of the building so what comes in and what we can have to do and depends on the bids you were suggesting we put it to be completed by date on there I think that we should yeah if we if we wanted to be completed before this winter or next winter we're pushing we're pushing you were just painting right that's right a little top of I've been painting trying to catch up on that post I think as long as it's completed in this fiscal year it might be better to look toward the spring then right now unless we get another warm up I don't care but I do know that the schedule it'll determine whether they've been or not depending on the deadline so should we say by the end of this fiscal year 639 you know let's say spring 5 119 because I want to have the bills in before 630 so to be completed by the painting to be completed by the end of the fiscal year say May 1st 2019 let's change that I mean May 30 let's say May 31 we might get some nice weather somebody might want to jump on it this fall if it's the front of the building you might not you know that might be at the end of the and when we want to have bids by today's the 10th do you want to try for the 21st is that too soon so well it's not they're going to try and possibly paint this fall I think it's as soon as they're not going to see this until Thursday so we might as well have them be for our next 21st 21st okay but you're putting in the official bid section of the paper right yes okay so bids do by the 21st of this month yeah remind me again what EMP Essential Magent's Practices so unless anyone else has anything exciting they'd like to talk about this might be one of the quicker meetings we'd have in a while I should come Nancy you have something well I just have a thought we don't have a recreation director any longer and would it be appropriate to rather than just advertising on the website to put something in the paper and perhaps draw it was in the paper that's going to put it in the paper as far as the bid or something I'm not good I mean like so they have Caitlyn I couldn't hear you Caitlyn Caitlyn cutting Vassar she's working with Norm really okay to step in yep so she and Nate will probably take that on which would be perfect because they've got that's good so is that something that I I wouldn't say yet because I don't know the particulars okay it would be really nice I mean I noticed that Hancock has gotten a recreation committee going themselves and are doing some stuff too so it would be good to have one here we have a committee but it hasn't done a whole lot recently yes sir has it done a big go nothing that I've heard of just those low lawyerly wheels turning okay well thank you everybody for stepping out on the rainy night thank you
