 our village staff. So with that, I will go ahead and call the Village of Essex Junction Board of Trustees meeting for Tuesday, March 16th to order. And do we have any agenda additions or changes for tonight? No, we do not. Anything from board members. So there's no need to approve the agenda as the agenda did not change. Brings us into section four, public to be heard. So this is a portion of the meeting where if there's anybody from the public who wish to speak to the board about something that is not on the agenda and I was the time to do so. And if you're using Microsoft Teams you can use the raise your hand feature or you can type into the chat that you'd wish to speak and I will make sure to recognize you. So go ahead and do so if you'd wish to address the board about something that is not on the agenda. See the FISCs would like to speak? Go right ahead. The floor is yours. We're not sure if this is the proper place. We're interested in commenting on the changes that are going to take place on the autumn pond development but we're not sure if this is the point where it's appropriate for us to say something about that. You certainly can say so now it's not on our agenda tonight. I believe that that is on the agenda for the planning commission when they meet next. This Thursday. I think we thought that this was the meeting where that was going to be addressed. Nope, that is next, or that is this Thursday, right Robin? It's when? Robin Pierce, can you go ahead and confirm the day and time for that planning commission meeting? Sorry, Rob, it's this Thursday at 6.30. The 18th? Yes, yes, yes. So Mr. Fisk, this is Evan Teach, I'm the village manager. Are you able to get on the village website on the calendar? There's a plan commission meeting for Thursday night, same time 6.30, and this is where you would be able to really voice to the plan commission your concerns. Okay. Okay, that would be perfect then. And if you have any questions, please call the village office and we'll say eight o'clock till four o'clock. We will be happy to help you in any way we can. Okay. Sounds great. Okay. Thank you. Thanks for your time. Thank you both. Are there any other members from the public who wish to speak to the board tonight about something that is not on the agenda? I am not seeing anybody raising their hands in the chat. So with that, we can move out of public to be heard and go into business item 5A, which is a discussion and possible action on real estate purchase or lease. And as this is an executive session item, please bear with me while I get to the motion. So I move that the trustees enter into executive session to discuss the negotiating or securing of real estate purchase or lease options in accordance with one BSA, section 313A2, to include the unified manager, community development director, village attorney and village engineer. I'll second. Second. Thank you, George. Any further discussion on that motion? Hearing none. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Anybody oppose? So if I could ask, you should all mute, leave this meeting. I'm gonna leave it open. We're gonna go into the link to the executive session. And when we come back, this meeting should be waiting for you. So we leave the meeting or we leave this open? I see Evan, I see Kristen, Mr. Hamlin. And Robin. All right. And to call the trustees back to order Tuesday, March 16th. Welcome back. And we are back to the agenda item. Mr. Pierce, would you like to summarize the motion language? With pleasure. Staff recommend that the trustees approve the attached agreement deed and any associated documents with Mr. Calanches to enable the connector road to move forward to bidding and construction. And to authorize the village manager to sign set agreement. And I'll add subject to the September 2019 resolution. Yes. Super. I look to our attorney and engineer or anybody else for that matter do we have any other changes we need to make? Or additions we need to make? I'll say. Great. So does someone wanna make that motion, Andrew? Thank you, George. Second. Thank you, Dan. I thought I saw those lips moving. Trustee, is there any further discussion? The only thing I wanna say is this has been a long time coming and I'm really appreciative to the staff who made this happen. So thank you all so much for your dedication to this and your professionalism on this matter. So thank you all. Yep. So with no further debate, all those in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Anybody oppose? Great. That passed unanimously. Mr. Pierce. I just wanted to say if you can, look out the memo of the March 16th memo because in it we acknowledge the people who have helped us get to this point and it would be just nice if the trustees knew who they were. No deal. Absolutely. Thank you everybody for all the work. Yeah. Thank you. So with that, we have no other business tonight if someone wants to make a motion to adjourn. So moved. Thank you, Raj. Is there a second? Thank you, Dan. Is there any further discussion on the motion? Hearing none, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Anybody opposed? Pass unanimously. Thank you all. Seriously, thank you. Good evening. Thank you. Mr. Pierce, give our best to Claude. Give our best to Claude, Dean. Hope she's well. I feel kind of bad that she had to miss this. I know, this was her, this was really her, this was really, she was one of the stars here and it's too bad she. She missed out on it. So sorry, but we'll catch up with her. We'll catch up with her and thank her some other time. Sounds good. Roger, Kirsten. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Regional planning meeting tomorrow night. I'm going to be attending virtually and maybe I'll ask, see what the status is on getting this project going. Phase one. Yep. Phase one. Excellent. Yep. Amy Bell, Amy Bell from B-Trans at our meeting. Okay. Happy Sympathetic Day. Congrats, everybody. Now make sure, make sure your phones don't answer any of the calls from the people complaining about the road. Okay. Send them to Robin. All right, that's it everybody. Good night. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
