 Hi everybody. Here we are and we've been posted in three public places and on the website and email the interested parties so we can move. Move forward with this will start off with the minutes from the prior April 25 meeting. And do you guys see any corrections you want to make on that. We did have to make a correction to our executive. The executive session, executive session. Okay, this is saying April 25, that's a special select board meeting. This is the regular meeting. No, this is May 6 is a special. This is April 11. So I'd move to approve with the proper date and with the, the, in and out of the executive session. I second. Long favor. That would be 25th, April 25th. And then we also have the meetings from the May 6 special meeting minutes. And I saw no errors. I didn't either. So I'd move to approve those. Second, all in favor. Those in there. Okay. I don't see a special guest Lieutenant Hugh O'Donnell or Aaron Lavelle. No, I see. Norm, you'd like to speak at the meeting, why don't you step right up and. No, you don't have to step up to just speak up. Everybody set up all these shows up. Yeah. I just have a few recreation department things I wanted to ask for your approval. I know I'm not on the official agenda, so I guess you guys have time to think about it. So I'm going to start with the tennis courts. We've gotten a few, a few people have contacted me about getting pickleball going. Interested in a new sport, the new rage going around the country. It's basically a smaller version of tennis, so some sort of hybrid between tennis and. And basically played on a smaller court. But it can be a lot of course these days are sort of hybridizing where painting the lines right on the tennis court. And so it's multi purpose, so we can get as much interest as possible. You know, to pick a ball or tennis. Pick a ball is definitely picking up throughout the country. It's great for the older folks who don't run as fast, don't move so good. And also the kids, it's great for kids. Kids programs or something like that. And with perhaps the hope of them graduating in the tennis sort of sort of be a strategy of fostering, you know, young people to sort of continue tennis or stay pickleball and sort of for the post tennis players to continue on the court, you know, less. Explain what the difference is between aside from being smaller court what's what's the difference. It's almost like a ping-pong, like a larger ping-pong has a little hole in it. The ball is sort of a large whiffle ball, so the large street with a ball, and you have to extend. You don't really like hit like this, like ping-pong, ping-pong racket, ping-pong paddle, but you have to extend it because the whiffle ball doesn't have much bounce, you have to sort of hit it pretty good. So you get some good arm exercise. And you're serving this underhanded serving, is that right? Yeah, underhand serving, but during the game you can, you know, recite, raise or overhand. So is it a smaller court because the ball doesn't fly as far? Yeah, it's 20 feet across. The paddle is like a racket ball. They're not out to go in the river. No, no. Hardly goes over the net. So the blue lines are the... I'm proposing to paint the blue lines in here pretty much. I'm saying that officially a pickleball net is two inches lower than a tennis ball in that 36 to 34 feet. But I think for our purposes it's fine using the tennis net. Any serious pickleball players can sort of band the net down a little bit. So we had, up at Greyhawk, we painted pickleball lines over there. We actually used a corner of the tennis. We actually had this whole court sitting in the corner and we used our own pickleball net. And the stand-alone net was sort of the big pain in the key strip. I think just say multi-focusing the tennis net is just an easier, better thing. The colors of the paint would be sort of inobtrusive to pickle to tennis players. The tennis that uses the white lines. I think in the case of our courts, it's white-blue in the court. So I would paint like a darker blue for the pickleball. So you have the contrast between the white tennis lines and the darker blue pickleball lines. That diagram is a little more confusing with white and white-blue or darker. But that's what I'm looking at. We were considering getting it professionally done, but it's, I think about 600 or 700 bucks. And I think me and a couple other people would have the talent to make it good enough. We can make it pretty sharp. There's pickleball kits out there actually. It's negligibly priced. It's a way to introduce the, you know, a new sport to the community. And there has been some calls for the pickleball going. No cost of town. Just a few blue lines. Yeah. Would you do anything to promote this to get the word out? On the. Discussion about a softball tournament on July 2nd, maybe you could start up a pickleball tournament. But we do have a tennis tournament on July 4th. But yeah, it's about, you know, let's, let's see if they can do it. We have a little tiny snowball to talk about. One thing about library actually has pickleball paddles. They rent them out for free. But we were also suggesting that if people were interested in this, that they should buy their own paddle and arrive on the tennis court the same way they do with their tennis racket and can of balls. So, which will be available at the hardware store. So you could even carry. So since it's not on the agenda or it wasn't posted, we can't make. I see no reason why there'd be a problem with this, but this will be good. We'll put it out there. It can be in the paper and everyone that goes home. I think that's just a select board meetings when we get feedback, but I'd be very surprised if there was much pushback on that. So I think we could, you know, tentatively say, sure, and then we can make an official decision at the next meeting when we have it on the agenda. We would encourage. Just one second. Let us know their, their. Yeah. Yeah. So, and Martha can help with that. Yeah. We don't want to get in a pickle. We don't. Yeah. Yeah, I just was going to tell Norm. I didn't know that there was going to be a tennis tournament this. So if you could get in touch with me. I'm sometime in the next day or two, I'm going to be ready to go out by the end of this week if possible. And I could include it in that invitation letter that I send out to people who participate in the parade. And of course later on when it gets closer to the date, I can put it in these articles, et cetera. And if you wanted to do a separate article about pickleball, maybe we could, why not? So, you know, just, just get in touch with me. I'm sorry to interrupt. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The most. She and everyone in the wall developing. That tournament. So she would be the most direct person to contact. Okay. So yeah, ask her to give me a call or I'll, I'll write it down. I, I think her number must be in the book. Thank you. To be kind of clock. July 4th. Wait. It's earlier. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Great. 11. 11. Okay. Call. Call. 11. Okay. The parade is at 11. Right. Yeah. 20 years. Yeah. Right. The other thing I'm looking to actually introduce yet another recreational activity. Right. So this is the. The town. And that would be. This goal. Which is. So certain times have them. They entail having a little basket. It's like. Well, it's a basket coming out of the ground. From a pole. And then up higher is a bunch of hanging chains. To catch these discs. And the. School actually has a couple of them. Sitting in their shed. And they said that they'd be willing to. Let the town use them. They. And I was thinking that big. Over there. Of course. Which isn't getting them a lot of use right now. We could put. We could start with those two. And if it catches on people like it. We could eventually expand it. You know, one by one. He really wants a nine hole golf course there. Yeah. See how it goes. And. I don't exactly know where, you know, I'd have to. You know, maybe walk the grounds with somebody and, and, you know, find out exactly where's what's legal. What's actually kind of land. What. What works with what we're given. But. Just have to be aware of the softball. Yeah. I don't know what they, where they use. Where they. Right. The softball is not in the middle of the field. No. They use it up by the past part. So yeah, it's two fields there. Yeah. So. No. As baseball field. Distances. Right. But they back it in the corner. For the tournament. They use. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what they, where they use where they. Right. The softball is not in the middle of the field. No. Near the river. Wow. They use it up by the past part. So yeah, it's two fields there. Yeah. Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. But there's a lot of things. Right up as a great team. Disc golf course. Right next to the pool. And it goes into the woods. There's it comes out like over by their baseball field. So there is a mixture of open field. With words. And the disc golf in the woods is great. Any kind of terrain. All you're really looking for is very. Very. Very good. And. I don't know what's available again. If we could find wooded areas. That's fine too. That's great. What about on the new park on the north end of town? Yeah. Yeah. I was, I was thinking about, you know, well my, my sort of. I haven't looked at it very much, but my brain says. You know, that would be one down. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. If there's somehow we could get all the way across. Towards the school. I don't know where all the lines beginning in. I know there's CV oil tanks. In the way. Yeah. There's sewer line. I tell you sewer field. And. You know, ideally you'd want a whole course that connects. It covers the. Bigger territory. But you know, to begin with. We can start. Going ahead too. Wasn't it got a little part of the big. Great place to start. To start. Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing. I mean. They're sort of hard to move once. I mean to put them in properly, you know, the long pole. So you want to be. You want to get a pole bigger, you know, even the ground and cement command. So there's that. Each whole. Each basket costs about 150. And you figure, you know, if we get a good group of volunteers and other. 50 bucks to put each one in. So how far part of the. They can vary again, like a golf course. You know, the longer the better life. I would say a great hole would be. You know, if you can imagine the tennis court corner to the. Corner that field right where the river bends. That would be. One nice long. I also noticed that there was some. There's some pop all still there. And my teeth, even my temporary. I could even act as a basket. So you could use the pop holes, right? You could get three or four. Well, that's it. I wondered whether. Once again. Talking about our funds. And recreation would. Would that, would something like this. Be eligible for some. Funds with. Trying to get. Recreation. Yeah. Trying to get. Recreation. Established. Yeah. You told me you see the couple thousand to $2,500 maybe. Yeah, a full glorious. The full thing. Yeah, it sounds like finding where to put it would be the challenging part before you can jump to that big of a. I think I want to put a couple in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because that's beyond our money. That whole field. So we went through. Big deal to put the separate tanks in there. But it's. It's still a recreation field. Right. So you're not changing the use. Yeah. And it could use. Like you said, using the existing. Foul polls and such. You could. Right. I wouldn't know. It wouldn't be an official basket. It would still. It would give you. Double. Backstop. Yeah. Backstop. But he does have to. Yeah. So we have some. To replace the valve over the basket. But it does have to. To ask it. Yes, I have some. To replace the valve over the basket. Aside from. People in the town interested. It does. Possibility that it could. Promote term tourism. In a sense. There is a disc golf community out there. And there's a website on remarks with all the disc golf courses. People actually hop from one to another and check them out. So you will get, there's a possibility of outer towners. For better or worse. I mean, we, you know, I'm going to Randolph. And one's up in. One of the closest ones in there. There's one. Up in. Sugarbush. And one down by killing. And. They're really nice. It's another one of those things that's for all ages. You know, but a lot of people aren't familiar with it. It's very similar to pickleball in a lot of ways. So. So maybe. At the next meeting seems a decision can't be made tonight. You could bring one of these baskets in. And everybody could see it. I could take a picture. That's good. Yeah. I wonder if they have things that exist. They can go around the fall. So. So that's, that's phase two of our recreation strategy. He's always thinking. I got one final thing to promise. The town was emailed by a group of. I think up in Montpelier called. Be the change. Bees. Being sort of part of a plan. Be a change. And they're into the idea of. Pollination from the state. Be hitting the bees going. And they. It's a large group. They worked on private and public land. That. And they contact a lot of towns now. And sometimes I've done this where. They doesn't make one to two acres. And. It could be scrub land or, you know, whatever it might be. Or they've actually liked grassland. No grassy land. The term. Mode grassland into. Pollination land. But I don't know how ideal that would be. But that they would take the one or two acres and they would come and. Call it over to it. And. Plant the seeds. For the pollinators. Free of charge. No charge at all. The only caveat would be. They. They put up little signs in there. That's a. You know, this is a. I think it might be a good. Motion to Rochester to say. Ecologically. Ecologically. I don't know. I looked at like maps and stuff. I don't know where this piece of land. I thought I'd. You guys. Music to your advantage. One way or another. Yes. Presented it to you guys. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the forest service might have more. I mean, they've got that big area there. Just let it grow to wild. Yeah. I think that all that area in front. Is purposeful. There's something in there. That they're watching. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Didn't we talk about this once before? Yeah. That little island by Osier's been, it used to be Osier's been there by Sky Hollow, that little hollow there. That's kind of taken over by the state. The state on that. So we looked into our firehouse. Yeah. They let you do it there. That wouldn't be a bad spot. No. Want to interfere with anybody. You couldn't do anything like that down on the water. They don't like activity down there at all. I don't want to. I don't want to do this in trouble. Right. We got contaminated. That'd be. Right. Millions. Yeah. Be the change. Yeah. More information. Be the change. To these. Be the change. Earth. You know, he's in my failure. Some are there. I don't want to say. Right. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. I'm very busy. All right. Keep that rec committee going. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Suzy, did you have something that you want to talk about? What is asked to do a little more research. Bag dispensers. And that's the information that's the website that sells everything. The only thing that might need clarification. Is that there are two types of bags. One comes on a roll. It's perforated to rip it off. And then the other kind is it has handles, but the thing is, is when you take one, you're literally taking one at a time, as opposed to being able to pull the roll. So it's actually suggest. It's a deterrent for people to just go over there. And that's it at the time. Yeah. Yeah. I've only had one. I didn't have somebody approach me on the wall last week. To tell me that they thought. They couldn't understand why put the bags out of there's not going to be any place to put the bags. And wouldn't we wind up. When we wind up with just a whole bunch of bags all over. And then we just, we talked and. And I ended the conversation with my brother step in a bag full. Drop things in the dropping themselves. So, but that's the only. Yeah. All right. Thank you. I think that makes sense to have them just be the one at a time versus a role where someone could just grab it and start walking with it and make a mess. Yeah. And as you can see, it's, I think it's 2,000. That's. $40 and then the dispensers. The dispenser do either the role or the individual bags. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Welcome to the new business. Got the Vermont emergency management community program. Anybody know much about that? Is that what the. Is that what our guests were. Connell was going to talk about. The valley. Lieutenant didn't really. Tell us what you're going to be talking about. Emergency management community program. Anybody in zoom have any hints about what this is? No. No. All right. Well, there's nothing in the folder over there. This is all. No. No. So I guess we'll. We'll see if the emergency comes to light and manage it. It happens. Okay. So Tom Allen of LCS controls. They're working on a 50 kilowatt ground mount solar. Installation behind the building at LCS controls. They had presented that to the planning board at the last meeting and looking for the. Certificate of a preferred site. So that's where we're going to be. I think that's where we're going to be. More. More kickback from green mountain power. And the consensus was it was a pretty optimal. Site. Tucked right there behind the building. Minimally visible from the road. And just up out of the flood plain. And not much happening there. So you guys have any. Input on that. You know what I'm talking about, right? Yeah. I don't remember. All the way back. I don't think so. And it doesn't go anywhere near the river. It's all kind of trees around it. Now it's kind of like a tree in the area. And that is on our town plan as an accepted area. I think that we could give them that. Certificate of public good or preferred site. We have to draft a letter for that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So I'd move to, to make that designation. I second it. All in favor. Okay. We'll draft up a letter and get that to them. I think it's going to be actually. Providing juice for not only their business, but a couple other homes can buy into it. So this is one large one. Or. It's a great. The ground. Okay. Rectangular. Installation. No, I don't think so. I don't think so. I think it's just a fixed one. Okay. Okay. Okay. No. You have to change their calendars when they take pictures of Liberty Hill. It's actually like the way they looked at it. There'd be about a 30 second window if you're driving on route 100 that if you were looking carefully, you could see it, but otherwise it was going to be pretty. You can't see him back. No, you can't. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the next on the new business that we have to approve the annual review and report of wastewater system. 2022 professional services. Agreement. I did that. Yeah. Thought that we did do that. She said that at the time that she made this that you hadn't. But since then you had so it's all that. Okay. Okay. Joan of what you've already got for us tonight. I'm meeting. I'm meeting. Okay. I was waiting for you to do that. Let's see. While I'm working with Cooter and Frank on formalizing. Something called a transportation network inventory. Which is something that. In order for us to buy for their grants. And it's also a good idea to have anyway. Basically it's, it's a. An updateable record of. All the. Infrastructure that we use for, for. Which is, you know, mostly it's, it's culverts. That's the biggest part of it by far. Yeah. But there's also road surfaces, whether paved or gravel. Guard rails includes bridges, town owned bridges. And ditching. So. Hooters already done quite a bit of it. He has an inventory of all the culverts. He is, you know, it's got information on what condition they're in and the size and. You know, what they're going to need upgrading within a certain period of time. The only thing that we're not doing right now is estimating the cost of any repairs or. Replacements because. You know, the cost of things is just so volatile right now. It doesn't really. Make sense. To try and. Guest to make what that's going to be. But eventually that. That information will be plugged in there. So, uh, I'll pull together. I met with Frank and Cooter of two weeks ago. And so I'm putting together the information in an organized way. And it'll stay in a notebook in the town office and get updated from time to time. Um, So, uh, thanks to mostly Frank's work. Standby generator is now installed. And. All that needs to be done at this point is by the end of the month to submit the paperwork to the department of public safety. Reporting on, you know, a costs and looking for asking for reimbursement. Um, the paperwork for that. Um, And then the last thing I'm working on at the moment is Frank's arranging for the removal of a. Buried behind the office there. And, uh, just in the event that there's any contamination that might have occurred. Um, he asked me to look into, uh, if there's any funding available to take care of remediation of any soil. Which would be expensive. Hopefully we won't have any, but just in case it's good to know if there's anything out there. So far, all I found, uh, at the state level is for residential owners. Um, And I've asked really to look at our insurance policy because times that's covered in, in those, but I don't know if it is for us. So that would be the first place to look. And then if it's not covered or even if it is, I'll try and find, um, other, if there are any other sources out there if needed. Um, can I ask a question, Joe? Please. Yeah. I didn't hear you correctly. I'm sorry. The standby generator that's been installed. Where was that installed? I can't remember. Uh, it's behind the town office. Behind the town office and the other other thing that you said right after that. You and Frank were arranging for the removal of a. What type of a tank from where it's oil, isn't it Frank? An old oil tank. Yeah. Yeah. It's the buried heating oil tank. For the town office. Okay. That was, that was, was or still is buried. And we use it. So we're going to have to get it pumped out. And, uh, Get an environmental impact study on it. With, uh, Lincoln technologies. I visited with them today. And, um, They're a little bit nervous about. The EC fiber pad that's partially buried on top of that. Which, uh, And I met with EC fiber today too. To see what it looks like. And I think we can probably get that out of there. It's just a matter of. We're going to have to dig a pretty big hole to slide it out. From underneath there. Add that they put out there. So. It's going to be a little touchy, but I think it can be done. And. What I heard back from Lincoln technologies. Was we have a $250 deductible. If there's any, uh, Contamination there and then the feds take over. So. Okay. It's not going to, it's not going to be a big money problem. The worst problem is going to be getting it out of there. And getting a new one in the town office. And that I foresee is the biggest issue. We'll probably have to destroy the dog pen that's out there or take it down. Yeah. Move it or whatever, but that's going to have to be done. So. That's about it on that. How large is that thing? Thousand gallon. Yeah. But it's under the. The threshold is a 1,100 gallons for the. Big issues. So we're under that threshold, which is the biggest issue. So we're under that threshold, which makes it deductible easier. And apparently it's the same for a resident as it is. Municipality. According to what she told me. Right. Yeah. It's a lot bigger. Joan, what is the update on obtaining the reimbursement funds for the breath? Bethel mountain road project. We got that quite a while ago. That's all paid. Okay. Thank you. All right. Is that it? Joan. It is. Yeah. The other thing, Joan, is I've talked with cricket today. And we went over to the wall here by the brook. And that's come in another couple of inches. So. I think we better. See, she was going to talk with Larry Strauss to see if that's a, we could use the ARPA funds for that. And she wasn't sure whether or not we'd have to put that back out to bid. So you may want to check touch base with her to see if that's what we have to do or not. I would think so. I mean, that was, when did we do that? Was it last year? A year ago? Yeah. Yeah. A year ago. Yeah. Yeah. Well, she was under the impression that we could. We could just offer. A rebid to the three people that did. But I don't, she wasn't sure that she could do that. So maybe you can be in touch with her. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a little skeptical just because if we're using federal funds, you know, I want to make sure it's absolutely done without any raising questions. So I think it's given that it's about a year or we'll be by the time we do it. I think just go out to bid again. Yeah. Well, would you take that? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Do you have a time Frank for that? Or do you, I'm sorry. As the sooner we can do it, I think the better off we are. I mean, if we have to rebid that. You know, I don't know. What people are going to, you know, whether we can get anybody to even bet it. You know, they might be real busy. So it may have to sit for another year. Who knows. Yeah. Yeah. Well, would you take that up with her and figure that out? Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. I think we have to sit for another year. Who knows, but I'd want to get it as soon as we possibly can. You need to verify that ARPA funds will pay for it first or just go ahead and do it. Yes. That's what I, we need to do that first. All right. ARPA funds are okay to spend on that. Okay. So I'll wait to hear from you then. And then. Well, talk to the meantime, but. Talk to cricket in the meantime. Yeah. Call Larry and make sure Pat, do you know, you wouldn't know. What did that was a good use. We can use it for that. Absolutely. Okay. Yeah. So I think we're going to be able to use that. So. You know, I, I'd talk with cricket about the doing the bid again or whatever we have to do there. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Let me, let me rephrase my question. I was referring to the FEMA funds from the April 15, 2019 flood. Yeah. The ones that we have. We have in process. Payments. One is, if you remember the 75% of the 75%. For the incomplete roads. And at the same time, they're processing the full payment for. That were due for the. Complete roads and I was in touch with the person who's processing that last week. She was out for a while because she had an unexpected death in the family, but she got back to me and apologize and said that. She was working hard on it and it should be very soon. So I'm not going to predict when, but I know the actual payment is in process. Okay. The sooner or the better. Okay. Thank you, Joan. Didn't mean to cut you off. Are you done? She's done. Okay. I'm done. I don't see anybody here from the library. Anybody have any input on that? No. Or the highway. Terry's here from the utilities world. Got any exciting news from us? Walk around next week. Yeah. Then that didn't happen last year. Did you get the, what the counters or what was it that we're messed up? Yeah, actually, we had to relocate downtown. Yeah. And raise it. Oh, really? That's all it was. Yep. Okay. As far as the highway goes. I'm going to meet with Chris matric on Friday. About that date, about the gate at bingo. And John's okay with them. Yeah. Yeah. Rather than make them move that gate to have to put two gates up, doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. So if I can get them to the larger. The last campsite, they got that's right there. Where we could turn around. So he doesn't have to get out every time to unlock that gate, the plows where he could turn around. And it's the only reason why I'm not so. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know unless they're logging up there with their logging is minimal. Yeah. And so if, if they're willing to do something like that. John's would accept that. So. I'm good with that. I don't know how you guys feel about it, but. You know, I wanted to move it. It's just reasonable. I mean, they cemented this one in and it's steel. I mean, that would, I don't know. I don't know. They'd have to put up another one because they got a block both roads. But I'll see what he has to say. Right. From there. Yep. And we put a counters on Bethel mound road for traffic. Rita Cito will get back to us in a couple of weeks. With the information. She'll process that. And she'll get back to us in a couple of weeks. And then we'll have traffic and how many vehicles and. All that for that. Road. Drop traffic. Drop down a lot since they. Was cold. Yeah. A lot. I noticed it had. Was there a big. Tracker trailer truck go over there today. I thought I saw. So I'll be turned in and went around the park. And then I said, I wonder if he's going up over the hill. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. They're still there, but. Yeah. Right. So the counters can determine whether or not it's a big truck. Yeah. By the way. They can do that. And they can wheels. The spacing of the wheels. Yeah. Yeah. And they, she's going to tabulate all that information. And she kind of made me feel like we could do whatever we wanted there. If we wanted to drop that speed limit down, we could do that. I, you know, that's kind of up to everybody else, but. I. I just wanted to be kind of consistent with Bethel. You know, they're at 40 and we're at 50. It doesn't make any sense to me. Not that people are going to drive 40 down through there. The speed limit before the road was repaired. Was not 50. Correct. It's always 50 because it wasn't posted. Because it wasn't posted. So they put the signs. If you have a black top road. It's not posted. It's considered 50 miles an hour. Right. In that. Not have that many signs there. No. And then all of a sudden. Now I have signs. Yeah. That is the ordinance. That's how the ordinance read. Just 50 miles. So it's. Yeah. The only road that I know of it in town that we don't have posted properly. Is Brooks Creek. Because we don't have an ordinance for that 30 mile an hour. So. That's the only one I know of. That I read. Suggesting 50 up through there. No. That's from the point. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. You know, I don't know. That's. Right. That's a 50 up through there. No. I would. Customers all. That's. From the corner up to where it's not. Yeah. Where it turns of dirt. Yeah. That 30 miles an hour. That's the only one we don't have a close. Speed bumps in there. Yeah. Yeah. Is Jeff get part here, energy coordinator. Yes, I am. All righty. Not very much to report, but we were looking to try to pin down agreement power on, you know, they, but any costs associated with electric vehicle charging that would be Rochester's responsibility as opposed to GMP. Today, Sarah Lubin Puri responded GMP will do 100% of what is needed to connect the charger service upgrade trenching conduit slab. All of the charger connection requirements, the only thing she can think of that the town might need to pay for is if we wanted to add lighting or another amenity at the location she referenced when we were considering the fire station. There was a discussion about upgrading bathrooms, though I don't think that pertains at all down at the parking lot. No, the, the level three charger is to be delivered. And they expect to begin installation this fall. There will be two level three best charging ports. There will be two level two moderate overnight kind of charging ports as well some four vehicles could charge at a given time. What with the fall installation plan. The Valley Energy and Climate Action Committee is considering a fall electric vehicle demonstration day. And wondering what the select board feels about the possible use of the park for such an event in either September or early October. The vision is that we would seek to get many get dealers of electric vehicles to bring vehicles to town for test drives and we would seek to have those 32 people in the Valley that have electric vehicles, bring their cars down and be able to talk to people who are interested. I think it's a park use that with more detail and dates and such the board would be inclined to allow. Yeah, I would think so probably not doing donuts on the park but you know, you know, around the park. We do allow vehicles to park along the edges of the park. Yeah, right. That's that's all I'm thinking of is just to park along the edges and, and I hope to really recruit a couple people that have antique EVs from the 20s. Get a little more interest in it for that and when the other thing to anytime we do an electric vehicle demonstration I'd like to also bring to the attention of folks in the valley. The Village Smart program which is a program that is designed to help lower income residents acquire used vehicles that have good miles per gallon ratings. I'd like to reserve the right to say that if it did seem to you that it was getting to be a large event, then maybe we would want to consider the ball fields. I can't get down there. Excuse me, where we did the lawnmower thing. But yeah I just hate to see a lot of people show up without a lot of places to park if we're going to have EV vehicles. I use people to park and possibly close off the road around the park or a portion of it, because if they're parking along the side, we have a safety factor. We can do that. And a good place to park. No. Excuse me. Yeah, Martha. I just wanted to say if you were doing it in September, Jeff, Harvest Fair is the Saturday after Labor Day, but I mean, if that and so it couldn't be that and we already, you know, we do it on the park but any other date, you know, isn't already taken as far as I know. Yep. Yeah, we certainly are aware of the Harvest Fair and the committee would want to have a resource table at that event. Yeah, well, that was a suggestion. As we did last year. Yeah, thank you. Yeah. Sorry. I would promote the following, you know, car event at the Harvest Fair if I would be a good idea. Yeah, and I'll, you know, if we wind up having a phenomenal success and recruiting tons of people. I'll certainly bring that to the board's attention as and of course as we get a date and down for further review and approval. Yeah. All right. Sounds good. Yep. That's it. All right, thank you. Under old business we had their review of the master financial policy. That's got much input. I read it before and I made the changes I needed and the rest of it. No, it seems pretty. It's a policy. All there. Yeah. I didn't really have any other changes and, you know, that. The appointments we still have a few voids in their appointment list. Did you guys. Go ahead. Did you guys get a chance to read the tree thing? I did not. Yeah. I think in the folder too, there's like a couple of other positions that are highlighted that need appointment. Second console boy is optional. We're not. Just missed it. Yeah. I think it's right around there. Brows through the document for the tree. When we first presented it. Yeah. I think it was that tree warden and the second constable. So you're not going to go with a second constable. Not until we find someone that really was interested in it. It's not not necessary. You decided to take on the role of tree warden for the time being. As the select board. Yeah. We get it. This guy. This is that. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Lieutenant you right here. More or less the emergency management with Michaela. Yeah. He wasn't sure that he would be able to make it. So. Anything else anyone's got to speak about tonight. Did you guys decide to take on the tree warden or are you still going to take on the tree warden? Yeah. Yeah. You voted to do it. We will share the tree warden as one of the responsibilities of the select board. I second that. All in favor. Hi. Thank you. We met the warden and he is us. Excuse me. One question. Sure. Right before that where it says review master financial. Policy. Am I correct that you. I don't hear you. I didn't hear you say anything about giving formal approval to it. Or did you not have to do that? I think you're still waiting for. We have to hear from Nathan. Yeah. Coming up. Yeah, we have a meeting coming up. So it's still in process. Or something. Okay. And the process meeting. Meeting on the on the 18th of this month. Right. The meeting on the 18th is for the capital plan. This is the master financial policy. That the town. Has to adopt and I'm not sure what the ramifications are, how we go about adopting that. But I think you gals, that's how you deal with petty cash, how you deal with. With bills and all that. In the capital plan meeting is. May 18th at 4pm with Kevin Geiger, and that's to redo the plan that was last updated in 2015. Yes. To discuss. To discuss what, how we're going to go about this. And that's kind of what Joan. And John and I started out. Doing was. Filling in some of that. So. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, John's been working on that and John's been doing the culverts. Inventory and we're, we're pretty good. We want to make the capital plan a little more reflective of reality and not. Yeah. You know, something that pie in the sky that we can't ever. Attain anyway. So. Yeah. It's going to take a little time to do that, but hopefully we'll get started on it. And then it'll go a little bit smoother. But it'll be. Probably a lot. Most of the summer that we'll have off and on things going on with that. So. In rewriting that. So there really isn't anything new is about reviewing a minister financial policy. Basically what you're doing is reviewing the capital plan. They're two different plans. Okay. So if I said. The financial policy was still in progress, would that be correct? Yes. That's perfect. Okay. Thank you. Sorry to interrupt you. Thank you for. My question. Yeah. All right. And obtain a motion to adjourn. A second. All right. Okay.
