 2020 Bruins Select Board Regular Scheduled Meeting to Order. To my left is Justin Lawrence, Flo Smith, I'm right town. Dana Hadley, our town administrator is here and with the red mask. And Diane Isabel, our town charter. Additions are changed to the agenda. I have no change or addition. Public comment. Here are you none. I've got a report right here. Okay, I have, I always, I asked you a couple times a year to update payments that are under $5 that people eat and usually like 20 cents or 50 cents or something like that. Right now I've got 20 of them and they total $15.21. So I don't know if I can get an approval so that I can make them. I think so there's 20 of them and most of them are like 50 cents and a lot of them weren't paid. What did you say, Diane? 15, 20? 15, 20, yeah. 15, 20. Or 20. 21, right? 15, 21, yeah. 15, 21, yeah, we're in here. Yeah, 15, 21. 15, 20, we're in here. We're 20. Okay. So I'll go over to the date, yeah, 15 dollars and 21 cents total and that's the property taxes. I second the motion. Any further discussion? If not, those in favor? Aye. Those opposed? Motion carries. Okay, the other thing that I have is at the next meeting, I'm going to be bringing paperwork from the bank because the project for the paint term like sewer is going to be starting soon. So we had that loan that we couldn't, like it's called the bridge loan. They're interim financing. So because on that project it's 2.2 million. So anyways, I couldn't get the paperwork for that and then it has to be signed here. Now we had approved back in February that we'd go to community bank N.A. at a rate of 1.85%. Well the bank has called me and they've reduced the rate to 1.6%. Yeah, that is like a savings of $5,500. That's excellent. With that one year. So at any rate, I will have that paperwork for the next meeting and I'm going to put it inside at that point. But I want to make you aware that that's a much better rate. See if it goes down to our group. But I'm excited about that. Great news. Thank you. Okay, that's all I've got to say anything else I have is in the agenda. Tax rate calculation? We have the paperwork that I gave to the worksheet on the tax rate calculation. This is showing not using any of the fund balance, the municipal rate would be 6162 per 100. Last year it was 5664. Let's take this off so you can hear me a little better. So this obviously is a mathematical equation. What the amount of the budget voted on town meeting day, the amount of articles that were voted, the amount that was voted for the Berlin Volunteer Fire Department is a total budget of 3,628,646. Estimated budget revenues, which again, we try to go on the conservative side to $270,050. Pilot payments is the same situation, 185,000. We have not received any sort of notice that we would not be receiving that. The state current use, 40,000, so we have revenues $495.50. Which leaves the amount to be raised by taxes of 3,133,596. The grand list is, well, it's actually 508,519,800. So that gives us hundreds of 550,000, 508,000, sorry, 5,085,198. I have trouble with that. Which makes the municipal rate 6162. The bottom shows you how much each budget is affected in the tax rate. And also for each 50,800 views from fund balance, it would reduce the tax rate by a penny. Fund balance, Diane? Of 603,700, of which I always like to have that $500,000 mark, but we do have $603,700. And that was on the audit report from F9, 19. So if we were to use the extra 100,000, it would reduce it to 60.62. It would be 59, 2 cents for the 100,000, or 100, actually that would be 101,600, I guess. And 101,600. We originally discussed this when we were doing the budget, right, about 100,000, but I was just wondering, so a penny is about 50,000. 50,800 represents a penny. And what was the last, last year was 56,64.5664 was the municipal rate. Moving at what, three and a half cents increase? If you went with the, using 101,000, yes. It would be 59,62. Motion, 101,600. 101,600 out of fund balance. So we'll be able to use 101,600 from the fund balance to reduce the tax rate by two, approximately two cents. I second the motion. Any further discussion? So for this deduction, or the tax rate as it is, what was the total increase in revenue? I mean, not what would be the taxes collected to meet the budget. What do you mean, for the last time or not? For this, for the number of voting on right now, what would be the total amount that we're raising from taxes, three million? Yeah, three million and 31,000 cents. Yeah, three million, 130,396. And so you're asking what last year's was. Yeah. And before I answer. Roughly about two cents, like, any at all. Yeah, I mean, I think it was probably about three million, usually thousand, something like that. I see if you remember it was just a little over three million. I can go, I didn't bring that with me, but I could get it really quickly. There's more information out there. Any other discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Motion carries. And I believe the tax collector is planning to prepare bills this week. We're hoping that under our products, I don't have the school tax rate, school rate yet. Oh, good. I've talked to Jill Remmet, and she was working on it last Thursday and thought she'd have it done. So if she doesn't have it done by this week, as soon as, you know, as soon as she has it done and I can, you know, make arrangements for the ancestors, we'll get together for the tax bills out. Okay, anything else you want to add? What's that? That's from Milton Kast. I was expecting Tim Davis to be here. I'm wondering if we could just both pull him in for a few minutes in the event that he might come. Your letter received from the Bureau of Conservation Commission? You receive a letter from the Conservation Commission and they are asking about having the bridge repaired due to public safety concerns. And then I think they have addressed, they appreciate that the bridge, what did they say? Oh, they talked about, I guess, we had talked about one time that perhaps the Snowmobile Club might be willing to lend a hand, which I think they are, but the issue is that they don't have a way to get there. And so, and I think that the Conservation Board Commission feels that this is something that needs, they can't wait to be repaired. I think they, when I talked to them, they were concerned about making it light enough for Snowmobile Access because it would then allow access for, you know, you'd have to have a need or something. That was their biggest reason when I talked to Tom Lillard. So they were concerned if you had to have a gate or a chain or a barrel of some sort, then somebody might cut the lock and drive up there with vehicles. There is something in there, bylaws or not bylaws are there, whatever the land, you know, that says they should partner with associations for snowmobile travel and all that, I don't know much about that, I just don't think. This repair, if I recall, was $4,500 in that range. Well, I'm just thinking, if they repair the bridge, that gives them breathing room to work something out with the Snowmobile Club or whoever, if they want a bigger and better bridge. But at the same time, it will fix the problem we have now and allow us to keep the trail open. Right there, around all the same size. They're really at the same size. So I would just be concerned, even if they don't do anything with the bastard or any of that, it would be good for us to have before they build something, have access for the tractor, that was my biggest concern. But wouldn't we have access? I mean, they could move some of the boulders. Nope. No, the bridge is four feet wide. Oh, I thought you meant getting up on the trail to fix the bridge. You mean get over the bridge, yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, I'll go on the other side of the trail. Four feet, that's good for hikers and whatnot, but in other camps, no side-by-sides, you can do a single-wide Snowmobile or ATV, but... Well, the other thing is that emergency access. That's a good point, too. You get something on top of it, it gets stung by a bee or whatever. Lots of things can happen, heart attack, too. All right, yeah. I would think that, that's a good point, I don't think about it like that either. Just think it more makes sense. Yeah, I mean, when we, Josh and I went up there, but probably would, you know, I had some telling to do that I had on my poor room floor when I'd covered it. And like I just moved those boulders on the grapple on the tractor and then put them back in place. It was easier not there, but yeah. So I don't, yeah. I mean, I don't know, ultimately, we can encourage them to build that, or at least the width of the side-by-side, I would think we could do that. Well, I would think the thing to do would be to have the, to still have them partnered with the Soviet or the ATV people and work something out so that the bridge can be a little wider than it is on the gasol. Emergency vehicles will get up there of some sort, then you have to be a truck. And that's the, most of the, I think a lot of us in the fire department uses side-by-sides now, so it should be, yeah. Yeah. So I would make that recommendation. Just asking to recommend that, Bill. Great. Well, you approve the use that I'm building the bridge. Definitely using the funds already. So I guess it's more of an encouragement, right? Well, the other thing to do is to be looking to their, the bylaws as far as the, partnering with the clubs also. I'm sure the language isn't, they must, but it's probably they can. Yeah, there was, there was, they were, it was like encouraged at a minimum, is what I heard, you know. Yeah. Well, I would think just take and have a motion to encourage them to commission to see what the snowmobile people or the aging people would be willing to do. Right. I thought they were going to have a meeting on that. And then that was what I thought we were going to end up ultimately having. This is their last month. They're not spoken with fast. And they were pretty young all about working with them. You know, these are just local resources, not fast funding, but local resources and labor. So, I mean, I've never been up on that trail, but the bridge is what are they using for buffets? They're concrete, I believe. Port or block? Oh, let me see. I probably got some pictures out there. Well, you're saying the blocks are easy to add to it? Well, I think their concern was some of it was the aesthetics of it. You know, if you put in a big steel, they're going to be having to do a new one, but man, it's going to look, you know, it's just going to, that's from what I understood from some of their concern. I know I've got pictures here. Finding them quickly may be another story. Well, I mean, if it's a port cement, then the only way they're going to get anything wider is to take and have overhang on the beams that are there. It did not get any good pictures of being buffets. It's unfortunate. Yeah, I mean, I would think that you need to have a better embuffment here. You know, I know that I talked to Steve Quarrow. He is with Bass, he's the trail master for Norsefield and he had steel items that we could have. And then somebody else had some. They thought those for that bridge might be good for them. But there was a lot of resources available. So I guess I would just make the motion that we encourage the conservation board to speak with Vast and emergency services, specifically emergency services and see what they would use for a rescue vehicle to get up there and try to accommodate it. Yeah. I second that motion. Any other discussion on this? Hearing none, those in favor? Aye. Motion carries. Mr. Davis. Good evening. Good evening. Mr. Davis is in to talk to you about a something that you've heard before about the road rager. And do you need any other speakers? Who didn't receive the medical note yet. You have the stuff from our tracks too. Yes, I do, and I'm going to give it to you, Jim. And maybe if you can explain what we have here. Now this was an estimate. I believe that the former Mr. Davis had spoken with Matt Gaff at Milton Cass about it. And so he's got, is it a total to repair these things of $41,600? Yeah, that, and that doesn't include, there's a few add-ins that were missed, I believe, from when I was told on the quote from Milton. And then, so that's probably roughly what it would be, but maybe a little bit more on what they find. Well, I was looking through here, I don't see the tires. Yeah, the tires aren't on there, so that's nine to 10,000 somewhere is in that ballpark. And then they did that oil sample, came back with heavy copper deposits in it. No, it hasn't had enough hours for the second one yet. So they said that it was either, it very well could be just a bearing material. You'd think some of the other metals would show high too. Yeah, and then they said there's a chance in there that it could be a copper from the inside of the radiator, but they said at that point that's all been, that all that material is run through them. Berings and valves and all the motor parts as well, so I know there was a quote that if the motor had to be replaced, it was about the same as what was here, so. He told me that the engine wouldn't, they'd have to use a lot of components that are already on there. Well, originally, when Milton was talked to, they said that they wouldn't rebuild the motor, they would put a remand in it, and then they send that motor back. So the turnaround was a little bit faster. Well, unfortunately, those are not available. So it would be just a block swap. They put a block in it and then the heads, you know what I mean, if they were good, the heads would go on the new motor or the new block, all the fuel rails wiring. So then it's more labor intensive, so the price would probably go up somewhere's in there. I know they were talking right around 40 to 45,000. I'm just, I mean, there was nothing put on paper for the motor, so if everything was, it's close to 90, 95,000, that thing's gonna need, if that second motor, or the oil sample comes back, where the motor needs to be worked on, you know what I mean, you're taking a brand new power plant and put it behind the 13-year-old transmission with what is it, it's a little over 6,500 hours on it. And then I got a quote, John Deere came down and looked at the grader and gave a quote, and the trade-in is close to what the maintenance is. On that first original belt, not including the tires. 50 small tires? Mm-hmm, 40. Yeah. 45. Because they have, so there's two in here, there's one for a quote for a grader that they just got. They just had one delivered to Springfield last Thursday. There's one quote that if purchased that one and there's another quote, whether you would buy, they would build one and we'd order it. But the trade-in for that one is 44,000. And, yep. What was the quote for the grader gathered in Springfield? It's the same. It's the same dealer, it's just, they give in the same. I don't know, a dollar number. Yeah, what's the total cost? The total cost was between $1,000. One's $278,500 and the other one's $279,500. Which they would give you 44,000 for the old car. No, that's after the trade-in for 44,000. The grand total without trade-in is 323.50. So we're looking at 280,000. Yeah, roughly, after trade-in. Or if they take it to the motor block and everything, there'll be a $1,000 pair. Yeah, 13-year-old grader. How much of this is? There's also, I haven't really ever done much in this, but there's also, they do leases, but I'm not sure what the end interests. Yeah, yeah. So can we do 60, 70, 72 and 82? Knowing that the grader is a very important piece of equipment. Yeah, we understand. It's pretty much the heart and soul of them. And I know that you don't have a crystal ball in front of you, but what do you think about the old grader making it another year if we put $100,000 into it? I mean, I hope it was last more than a year, but it's good. But again, you know what I mean? I understand. You put it into it and then next year the transmission goes. I've had parts like that, I guess. Yeah. So is this good? It's obviously functional now, right? Yes. It is leaking oil now, though I've noticed motor oils coming from somewhere on the front of the motor. It's starting to leave puddles. And it's got a, without any repairs, like the one of the front motors is making noises and carrying on. And it spins faster than the other motor. So it's balding one tire faster than the others. So how much of this $41,000 is necessary to keep the thing running? All of that by the sounds of that. And the motor's in bad, bad shape. It shuts back and forth, and it moves side to side inches. And when you're trying to lay a road out, even that, I mean, that's just making washboards. That's $10,000 of the repair. $574.96, that would be great. Hey, did you put any room value on the greater? I think we really have a room value. I don't have a number in one month. There we go. Catered over here. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So it's $95.74 out of there. I don't think they do it as much as they stuff. It's $5.05. $10,000, $9,500. And what's the hydrol for the drive motor? That was about $12,000 for the hydraulic or fell drive motor. It came to labor in the park. They've already done it. And they've already done the other side. And it seems to be all right. In a situation where we're trying not to spend a lot of extra money that's going to work, I don't think we're in good position to, honestly. No, it's a hard decision. It's a lot of money, but the other thing is, if it breaks. But my understanding is when it's broke before in the past, we were able to get at least the rent one, right? Yeah, new rentals. New boys head on. They sold it. They got rid of it. Rental on them is, I think, $5,000 to $8,000 a month, depending on the hours that you ask for leasing it. And then downtime in between. And then it's whether they even have one. Right now, the only one that's in the state of Vermont that's available through John Deere is the one that you just picked up last Thursday in Springfield. And they're trying to sell it. So I think if it's sold next week, they wouldn't have one available. And I don't know what Milton has available. I was saying, with what capital we're in. You know what I mean? It's one of those things that there's not like a lot of them. It's not a lot. They might keep the one around. You know what I mean? They only sell maybe one or two of them a year. We should put this out for an RFP. Oh, I have to. Most definitely. Well, now we have an idea of what's going to cost. Now let's give you a little bit of an idea of what the cost of the new one is. We've got one price, but that's not both prices. What's the warranty on the John Deere? I just barely got these Thursday morning. He dropped them on. Extended warranty. So it's probably more than likely it's a year, because that's pretty much what they all come with. And then there's an extended in-year service agreement. 60 months to 3,000 hours. So that's probably on top of it. We have 6,800 hours on that rate right now. We're going to go from the fall to 60 months, most likely. That's about 2007? Yes. Yes. So that's 13 years all the way. And I think we bought that for you, Mr. Deere. Yes, it was the least, it was the least greater when they bought it. And without probably really rolling back to that year, I don't know what it, nobody knew what it came from. Where's from beside Milton, Cat, and John Deere? Is there anyone else? Volvo offers one. Don't see too many of them. I was just wondering if they discontinued them in the other pricey. Yeah, and not very many towns. Pretty much these two are where it's at as far as people buying graders. Prices availability. Yeah, price availability. CR Woods, I don't think I've ever seen one on their lot. What's that? The grader up. Because CR Woods is just right next to North Tracks. But they're mainly crane and excavators out there. We had a grader in there some time ago. It was a big Volvo. Well, Dan, why don't we take in, ask Milton what they could do. OK. So do we need a formal RSV if we only had two? I think we'd better do it that way. So I need a formal RSV. Do you want me to use the description of what they describe there as far as equipment, et cetera? Something called. Probably I have a motion on this in the RSV. But it also occurred, I also think it's probably like I would, are you going to, how are you? I guess I don't depend on the motion. But you're going to make it, so you can decide. Yeah, I was just trying to think of how to word it so that. Because I wouldn't, I think it would be a good idea to see if anybody has, like how to purchase that one. Not necessarily male, but off-leads. I know that topic was brought up last week. And then Jeff Newton still stays pretty tight with the equipment dealers, you know what I mean? He looks at a bunch of used stuff as well as anybody. He said there's not a lot out on the market, but there's a few, but they're from out west. And it seemed to be that they have high hours on them. Low in years, but higher hours, they use them more for winter maintenance out there. But, you know what I mean, you always can find, you never know what you're going to find, but the option is there, and it's just, we can always board your motion for an hour at the last. So I would move that we put an RFP out for a greater, or a greater with 400 hours or less. And I second that motion. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all in favor? Aye. Motion carries. Thanks for all your efforts and research. Thank you. Good to have you. Yeah. Waitin' in the dirt. It's been a blast. I've been in the water for the last two weeks. Are you going to hang on to that if you want me to? I can, yeah, I mean. Oh, may I have it, and then I'll give it back to you after some time. Yeah. I bet the two weeks have gone by fast. They have, they've gone by very fast actually. Okay, Tim, anything else? Did you want to talk about that pickup home? Oh, why don't we do that? Tim asked me about, at one point, the highway superintendent used to take the pickup home. He lived in Berlin, that was tape. Tim Davis didn't take the pickup home because he lived in Marshfield. So Tim Davis has asked me about the pickup. So I guess I'm looking for some advice from the board in that. See what everybody's feelings are? Well, personally, I feel the pickup is, whoever's on call should have access to the pickup, be it chainsaws or whatever else, they can cut it down a tree or anything like that. Yeah, like I told Dana though, like I wouldn't, unless I was completely gone out of town, if I was gone out of town, the truck would be here. But otherwise I would be with, I don't know, it's always been a kind of a pet peeve of mine. It's nice to have two people, one for safety reasons for cutting trees up because you never know what you're gonna end up dealing with, but. That's what you're saying, you'd be on call all the time? Yeah, really, yeah. You know what I mean? So by having the truck, you're saying that you wouldn't have to come here. Yeah. Get the truck. You've got your basic equipment in the truck, such as saws and things like that. Do you live up by? Or by Andrew? Up by you. Yeah. Where's that? Union brook. It's Bean road that I'm on, but yeah, Union brook. Yeah, that was Union brook road. Oh, it's just great. I think before we make a decision like that, we should probably have all of us here. All members to weigh in. I don't think so. That's fine, it was a question that I didn't ask before. Okay, so we'll put that for next time. Yep. Oh, that's fine. Is there anything else? Nothing to think of. Everything's been great. Going smooth so far, so. So you're seeing them piles getting up? No, they haven't started seeing yet. Is this gravel? Yeah, it's, they've been doing an inch and a half last week. The other pile that's closest to the gate is done, completed. What's going on here by the State Library? That's just, they're always getting ready for that sewer project and then using wanes as a yard, I guess. I think they'll stay in there. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how late that's gonna run. I assume they'll be done by October. I hope. What are I, patched up? I hit an apple on one lane road through there. Putting in some receiver or some sort. Covered receiver in my mind. Because that's going from. That starts Wednesday, I believe. And it is, we're back by, you know, so we might get into, we'd like to see it finish this year, but we may not see that. Yeah. If not into November, I would say. Okay, anything else, Tim? I don't think so, unless you guys got any cushions. I know nothing, black road. That's gotta be done before November, I was told. Right, we'll need to talk about black road. I haven't approached that with you with trying to let you get. No, I'm good. Your people. Yeah, no. But yes, you know about that. Some. Do you obviously don't have extra time right now, I'm guessing. I don't know, you were bringing it up because you were trying to schedule and figure it out. No, but I just was told that it had to be completed before. So no, so I didn't know if there was some sort of deadline that I was up against with it. I think that's a great deadline, before snow. Okay. Well, that's fine, I just. I mean, I think you have a little bit of time to, you know. I mean, if you find that you have a lot of time, which I don't think you're going to find that right away. No. But if you do, you know things have to happen with black roads. Yeah. Just wanted to make sure that we get it done and completed. And I think you get a job down on Junction Road with the strange and the guys did a very nice job. Congratulations. They were very happy with it. Yeah, I think you offend a lot of compliments on that. Just got to find grass seed now. That seems to be the hot commodity now, really? Yeah. In this, when the state, are they putting regulatory rollers behind the graders now? No, the state's not doing anything. I've seen a few towns that have gone out and done it. They're very expensive. Yeah. How's it working though? Town of Brookfield has one. It seems to work all right, but it almost kind of defeats the purpose when you're chlorideing too. They don't chloride as much as other, I don't even know if they do, do liquid chloride. So they try to compact it, keep the dust down. But like here with the liquid chloride, it's nice to have a little bit of open dirt because it actually rolls in and it smooths out. Yeah, it's got something to bind to. I just wanted to, I'd heard that some town was stacked in with a 5-2 word roller. Yeah, I know they're, I don't know what they cost, so I've just been told that they're very expensive. Well, I think they've made it well. Well, I think some of the expenses, putting a pump on the grader that will run the hydrochloric roller on the roller. Yeah, you know what I mean? You're asking, at that point, you know what I mean? You're asking a lot and I'm sure at that, you know what I mean? You're gonna be burning more fuel, trying to run more hydraulics. You know what I mean? There's a lot of hydraulics on the grader. Ha! I don't know what the cost. Who's been to open the grader? Timmy's been doing a little bit in the last week and then he was on vacation for one day that he had most of the last week off for some septic issues. He had to put in a tank in his house, so it's just been the three of us. So we've been, he was actually, the end of the week was piling gravel when they were bringing it, so they could push it up. So I'm hoping whether permitting tomorrow to start integrating crossdowns, getting rough, a lot of the roads and that we're gonna get the hours on that to get that second sample product pretty quick. We took a quick ride Thursday late in the afternoon we had about an hour left. I hadn't looked at some of the shorter roads over in the Riverton area and they're getting, we've had enough rain in the last couple of weeks that either they're getting very pothole, they wash more of the air, the water's jumped out and channeled them, so I'm gonna get quite a bit of gradient in here right off. How bad is the oil leaking in the engine? It was sitting over at the fuel pump the other day and it left a puddle. It was standing. I'm hoping. I just wanted that copper was quite a little cooler or something. No, it's on the front, so I'm not sure exactly where it's gotten. When you see the front, maybe the rear and the greener or the transmission? Right up by the transmission, right behind the cab on the front of the cannelling, somewhere straight between the cab and the articulation. The rear of it seems to be all right where the oil coolers and radiators would be. So I don't want to ask you, actually, have you implemented any new systems like log books with equipment or anything like that? Haven't yet, because I just barely got into the, they just went through their hours. I'm gonna try to start doing a weekly keeping track of hours on a weekly basis and see how that goes. Right now it's once a month. At the end of every month, all the hours get taken down and I just entered it all into the computer the other day. So, all the equipment has hogs meters on them. I don't know. TJ is the one that normally takes the hours down, but they all have hour meters on them. Yes, everything has an hour meter. Most of the stuff now is all digital anyways. It's not like, yes, greater's all right in the cluster, cluster and the greater's on the dash. Well, even the loader's new enough now that it's in the cluster. So, yeah, then the trucks get hours in mileage. Any more questions for Tim? Thank you very much. Okay. Thank you, Tim. All right, see you guys later. Have a good night. Have a great night. Thanks. A letter received from Vermont League of Season 10s. This is a letter that the league sends every year. Asking if anyone would like to be nominated or if you have any ideas of who to nominate to the BLCT Board. And that is for there. They'd like it if you had someone by Friday the 17th. Who did it last year? You didn't nominate anyone last year, right? This was not for the representation at the meeting. This was for the board itself. Would you like to be nominated? No, thank you. Okay. Okay. I think that's a yes. Thanks for thinking of me, I really appreciate it. We need to take and figure out who wants to do this. So actually, this one is not, you don't need to do any action on this. This is just in soliciting for if there was someone here that wanted to be on the board and they were asking you to nominate them, that's where you would come in. That's true. I don't hear anyone asking you to do that. Let's see here, what's next? A bid opening for roadside going there. We've received one bid. The opener. So we have one bid. It was received here July 8th at 9 a.m. It should be the 6th, yeah. It should be the 6th, I hope. Oh, okay. It looks like an 8, but yeah, 6th. It's from Dunnell Dexter out of Williamstown. And I'll read it. Dear sir, I'm ready to submit a bid for the 2020 roadside mowing season. The proposed bid for single pass mowing of all class two and three rows is $5,000. A second pass on paved roads would add $400 to the bid proposal. The mowing in question is scheduled to be performed using a John Deere 2555 90 horsepower tractor equipped with a five foot boomback mower. I would assume as with other towns a 30 day contract term from acceptance of bid. I would like to thank you for your time and consideration of my bid proposal. So it's $5,000 for first pass and $400 for second pass on paved roads. Do we have a insurance requirement on that dinner? Yes, we do. And he knows if he would get that, he would get one. Dunnell did it for his life. And it's signed by Dunnell Dexter. I make a motion to accept the bid from Dunnell Dexter as outlined in the representation just read. Second. Moving through the discussion, on that bid, what do we appropriate for the mowing? 5,500. All of the paper? Aye. All right. All the poles, portion carries. Pretty much the same price that we got last year. Yes. Mm-hmm. But then you can see that. Everyone's listening. I just couldn't remember what the, yeah. I guess the second pass would pretend that the road is independent. The trouble with the quality roads is one pass, four feet gets you down to the bottom of the ditch and there's not much on the other side that really reach out to. Approve the second board minutes from June 15th, 2020. I make the motion to approve the Monday, June 15th, 2020. Select four minutes. Second. Second. Thank you. Any other discussion? Hearing none, those in favor? Aye. Motion carries. Do we have a new strategy for the meeting? Yes, I had typed your mind before kind of updating you on different projects but I did want to point out that today I received an updated memo from the consultant for the town center designation that I'd like to give to you. I sent you one of the packages, an updated one. And we have scheduled a meeting for the 22nd of July to be held over at the range of capital city range. And the consultant will update you on some changes because there has been several changes. So that was the latest thing. Other than that, I've been working on project bids, the paving, which will be open to the next meeting and see what we've got for pricing on the Lover's Lane bridge as well as the wall and the clerk's office. I tried to bring you up to date on stormwater projects. We have a stormwater project here at the town office on the town campus and we have the design what has been done for a year and a half or so. And now we've also received a grant for 100%, well, not quite, of the cost to construct the stormwater ponds and strips as outlined in the plan. This is a grant that's handled through the Regional Planning Commission. The grant is about $60,000 total. The required math from the town is $980 and we can use in-kind services, one of those is my services that I would use or if they get any assistance from the highway department. And that is what I have. I still have the town road policy which I've had a struggle with but I am trying to incorporate things from other towns to see where we come and then I eventually would like to see that done. You've got some liquor licenses. I have a liquor license for renewal applications. Normally these are due by the end of April. However due to the COVID situation, it was extended. So I need the liquor board to... So I'll show you on board meeting and do the dean's letter board meeting. I second the motion. The more discussion, all those in favor? Aye. Motion carries. We are now with the liquor commission. So this is an application from the Twin City Bowling, Twin City Lane, 708 U.S. Route 302. They are applying for a class one, a first class and third class license. And I always wonder about that. I thought you might ask me. So I looked it up and said... What's hard? What is that? What's hard with your license? And basically a first class license allows an establishment to serve beer and wine. And establishments that intend to serve spirits must also apply for a third class license. And both first and third have to be approved by the locality before application can be made to liquor control. Why? We have a first and third class. And this is for, they have a restaurant at the bowling. Now is this the only one that's come in? This is the only one that we had that had not renewed before the due date. So because Twin City was closed for... Both approved with your license application for Twin City Lanes. I second the motion. Any further discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Motion carries. And I have four of those people signings on the left. All on the left, please. About a third down the page, you'll see it approved on the left. Okay. Get into a clear board agreement. Select what? I second the motion. Any further discussion? All in favor? Aye. Your name looks like what it once again is. Anything executive session is? I do have an executive session, but I do need you to approve the licenses permits vouchers for the warning. Please. I make the motion to approve general fund accounts payable warrant number 20G24 with checks 2229 to 2346. In the amount of 59,322.22, also payroll warrant 20-26 with payroll from June 7th, 2020 to June 20th, 2020, paid on June 24th, 2020 in the amount of 38,398.15 cents. And payroll warrant 21-01 for payroll from June 21, 2020 to July 4th, 2020, paid on July 8th, 2020 in the amount of 49,639 dollars and 63 cents. So, any further discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Motion carries. Round table, Justin? Nope.
