 I think it's down here. Okay, very happy to have you. All right, it is Monday, June 3rd, 2019 is the World House Select Board and you're missing Callie tonight. I think she had nowhere to see at work. So let's get right to the agenda with general public comment. Let's see. I'm sorry. Jamie, why don't you go ahead? Okay, so we have an opening on the trustees' library trustees board because Michelle resigned shortly after she was elected. Yes. And so this is Emily Wood. I will let her tell you more about herself, but she is interested in the position and we support her. So we're here to ask her you to appoint her. Thank you. And you can. Thanks for the Emily Wood visit. That's great. Thanks. Thank you for coming and coming this evening. Emily, why don't you share a little bit about yourself and why you want to jump into this? Sure. My name is Emily Wood. I have been living here for about four years now and my profession is a school librarian. So library is near and dear to my heart right from my profession right there. What I would like to jump in is that I really, it's more time to end the library together and I would really like to help support the library help its patrons. Nice. So, with Jeanne, somewhere on our page forum, so Meg was Meg Allison who's asking about owning like brains we have in town because you were born. Jeanne, did you respond to that as well? Well, I was with her because she heard that. So how many are there? There's a lot. There's librarians that live in our town, yeah. So we were together, her, Peter, Langella and I were together and so we were like, oh, we know all these other librarians that live in more town. So we even did a little research to see what other town could claim a lot of librarians. I know another one that I didn't have. Oh. She'd let her know because she wants to like take them on and be like, no, we have the most librarians in the world, the library and the capital of the world. Exactly. So, we can capitalize on it then. Yes. Gentlemen, or did anyone have any questions? Not really. I was glad to see somebody with your experience on board in a position that can help us. So, tell us a little bit about your ideas for the library. Some ideas for the library? I don't know, it doesn't have any. Oh. Not a ton. I just know that, I mean, as a school librarian, I'm very passionate about access for kids. So, and public libraries are kind of a great, safe place for our community kids. So, making sure that that is available for our, I know that it expands beyond that. That's just my normal perspective. So, if there's no other questions, I'd move to support Emily Witt for the trustees position. I'll start coming up. John Sessions, any further discussion? All in favor of a aye. Aye. Thank you. We're good. All right, thank you. All right, thank you. You're welcome. You're welcome. You're welcome. You're welcome. You're welcome. Yeah, like you might just sign me in so we can have a record of you being here. Just saying. Yeah. John, did I go on? I don't know why. I'm sorry. Right. So, it's right under public comments. You must be Jim. Jim. Jim. All right, so let's go ahead and move on. Reports of communications. I had a call this afternoon from Adam Martens. He said that he tried getting a hold on that and that he was interested in describing the layout of Middle Road and Gallagher Acres. Is that the one we've taken out of the chairs? So, he called again to let you guys know about that. This, what was the, let's say it a little more time on his name list. Adam Martens is the way he pronounced his last name. He was Martin with an S. I can get that out. I guess that's the way we're supposed to be. Martin. Martin. Martin. This just came in, I guess, was Steve McGill. So, just before we move on, I will check with Martin on that. I know that last fall we talked about having that garden well removed. Right. And I think I saw an email earlier this year. So, let's make sure that you get out there with the next, not next week, but bucket load or whatever it is. So, I will call on her. So, I'm sorry, Sasha. So, this, do you know from Steve McGill? Yeah. Regarding the curb cut. All right. A little bit of history. I think that the curb cut was approved in the house the night of the pre-count meeting. So, I think, honestly, I didn't even remember doing it. One of those ones that really went by pretty quick when we were in the middle of coming in our buckets on. That's, okay. So, did anyone, what's the basis for? Basically, where the curb cut is now is right across from his bathroom, his house. So, he doesn't like the location. I think they were prone to move it in either direction. Some of you, you know, obviously, they've already spent some money there. The owners spent some money, put the pipe in and put their driveway in. I think they had the permit. And I don't know if Steve really expects them if we move down. I mean, if we could, if we could, we would, but. Yeah, I think this is where, and I haven't looked at the statue on this, but I mean, it's something that the board would be, I mean, we weren't doing, but we'd want to, has there been any feedback from the other landowner here at all? This just came in out today. So, I haven't been, you. Yeah, I haven't talked to the, it's great you said to consider your landowner. I have not talked to him, but. Who's in this morning, Tom, and you're here? Steve was, right, yeah. But he didn't come in and address me. But I know Cheryl had said to go ahead and send us a meal on it. I don't mind people eating on this. I can certainly talk to Bob and see how they feel. Yeah, why don't you check that and do it as soon as you can in case there's any work being done that it's costing money and see, you know, otherwise. I think everything that we've done, we did, it was fine. Yeah. We'll just have to stay the way it is. You take it a quick look at that? Yeah. And then, Cheryl, I need you to make a decision made on the federal and secret preserve. Is this something that you guys, you know? It was talked about at, I think, a 20th meeting, but it wasn't really decided on, I think. Voted on, Cheryl just needed it in writing, I guess. Oh, yeah, it was voted on. Yeah, it was a motion. So. And I think it's 15 months, it's done a nine now. All right, so the recommendation, the treasurer would like to recommend that we roll a current CD into the 15 month CD special at Northfield Savings Bank at a rate of 1.90%. Can you say 1.90? No, it was one point something. It's a current CD now, it's rate at 1.98, pardon me, 2.5, 2.47, I don't know what the rest is on that. Is this a new penalty, Stephen? Can you tell from that? I think we'll see what it is. She'll be at a 6.45 if you've got questions. Okay, I believe it was the same. It's the baby for $4.00. It's 15 right at the nine, it's the only difference. Yeah. And neither that's 40 too, because not recommended, it's the recommendation right, the recommendation from the committee was the nine month. Okay, so I didn't vote on it, but. Yeah, because we're here in the background. So nine months in the back, so John, if you wanted to change your motion. We have some motion at this point for the 15 months. Yes, right, right, okay, yeah. All right, so I'll call my motion, then we take out the CD for a 15 month CD for the 500,000, I don't feel it's Abrams, man. And rate 2.5. I don't even know if it's like 7. 7? I'll make a motion. Is that your motion? Just a second, just a second. Yeah, just a second. Okay. Long day for the discussion on motion. Yes, did you say Sherwin was going to be in it 6.45? Yeah. So do we want to consider holding him up until Sherwin this year, because to. I don't think there's any vote to it, it's just the only difference, because we guys had already voted on it, it's just from nine to 15 months. She's recommending that, so unless you have an objection to it. I do not. All right, I'll say we'll go right. I thought it was a quarter of a percent more. Yeah. Thank you very much. You're welcome, thanks. This one I don't know how it's going to go, but Roberta Garrett has an employee in that role, and it's a damage that happened to her car. So what's that? My scrapers. This is Roberta Garrett. And there's a pothole under the road. She had her tire sliced. Anyways, sitting without a policy, we don't reimburse for damage. I believe this is going to fix it. Ready? Of course. Yeah. It's a pothole of that place, didn't it, guys? Yeah. I thought so. Thank you. And just a good indication how the law is going to refer to the budget. I'm ready to go up the step forward now to the overall budget on the printing. The sliding item is typically used for printing flyers that are somewhere where we've run two ads to recruit applicants for the position. The ads alone look see the $75 budget by about $5 a week still planned to print the summer flyers. So what we need to do is just try to, you know, excuse me, can't move around some of her items, but the budget's not, it's not going anywhere. Anything else? Nothing. Cheryl, would you have anything back there? Katrina, as far as the minutes or anything that you want to have? Thank you, sir. Jason, you got anything? I got nothing. Great. One little thing I have to say, I have a phone call or voicemail a late last night from my outboard, I'm complaining about the grading work on Jones Brook Road, talked to Mark today and apparently the grade aren't broken down on that road and so they didn't, couldn't believe the job what they normally do and I just left a message where I don't want there's any other word from anybody else on Jones Brook Road, but that's what happened over there. So. Mark, what happened to the bridge? We lost a feed from our alternator to our battery. Suddenly, we're losing voltage to the system and eventually the, would not, would not even move. Yeah. Obviously it takes power to run everything, so we're able to get down there with our battery pack and get the windrow laid out, you know, so that it was possible, but we needed it. That's fine. Yeah. So we're concerned that all the money we had and it was a simple fix, but it was, you know, we didn't need to get the grade on the back, I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah, so. Thank you. Sorry, thank you, Mark. Yeah, Mark and I also went over the window, went over the windrow improvements and he has written up a permit. I don't know if he picked it up or not. He did not, did not see him at the end of the day. So I think we're pretty much in agreement with what needs to be done to satisfy the timeline and everything. And I also went over with Martin and Eve, put down an RFP for the bridge repair on the top road, the scour repair. No. So we'll be getting that out. I think we're good. Tom. Good day. I've got an additional notification for the service that there'll actually will be another donated piece of land more details to follow. It's not immediate. They haven't mentioned where it was, but. Who found the whole site? The River Conservancy. And I don't know if people have noticed the sign had been down at the other spot, but let's sit back up again. Looks like a drone. Was that? It looks like a new one. Yeah, it is a new one, yeah. What would happen to the other one? Maybe more permanent, maybe more. Yeah, that was that good thing, yeah, yeah. Well, they're gonna go on that job that there was something wrong with it and it was fading so they were gonna go on and on and on and on. Okay. They added town awards come to it. Yeah. I'm related top to the Nature Conservancy. In this recently concluded budget, I think it was $500,000 was added to the month housing and conservation awards budget to buy land for things that have come up for conservation purposes. And since there were some parcels in North Canada, bringing that to their attention might be a good thing. What would be the best route to do that? I have to say, since that whole piece of it, there's a possible buyer, right? From what I understand. So I think it's a little premature at this point. But I would contact Karen Horne. Yeah, I don't know. Any else, Tom? Nope. All right, it's gonna be, Martin, while you're here, I just wanted to address, we had Adam Martins on the other side of town who's a guard rail, so we're gonna take out at some point. Do you know when we can get to that? It's on Galleriers, it's been done. Oh, it has been done. I did receive a phone call from, it sounded like an Adam, something today. Returned the call, but it went to a, what sounded like a vendor's supply company. So it didn't leave a message, but. So when did the call start? This afternoon, I mean, there was a different issue. Maybe it's not the same thing. All right, do you have a number for this, Adam, Martins? So why don't we hand that to me, and then I'll get to this. The other guard rail wasn't on the middle road, right? Sure. This one he said was the middle road. Yeah, this would be on the middle road. Yeah, okay. So I'll give him a call, or if you need one of us, I'll do that and call up when you want that, if I know what that is. I still don't know of any other issues. Did you think it was going to be replaced? Maybe it's just miscommunication. Yeah, maybe it's going to be replaced. No, I think we talked about that on the spot. No, but that's it. Hang on, I'll do this one more time. I wasn't going to reply. What is it? All righty. See if we have any against you. I don't think we do. And I'm going out with, Martin and the guys have been doing a tremendous job of this in my house. I'll do my best. I'll do my best. I'll do my best. I'll do my best. I'll do my best. I'll do my best. Our class three road. We serve five or six. Yeah, I know what it's about. Pass pass. Pass pass. Pass pass. Well good, and what do you know I mentioned ditched up there, Martin? Yeah, we know that. I'm all washed up that we started with, but yeah, we're doing some ditching and stone lining, we will be doing some stone lining in the ditches there. It's a part of the MRGP. It's hydrologically connected. So it'll be a lot of OB reimbursed work. So it's good. Here's the question. How do you track work out? It's still sitting at your request, but we should have it. Had it broke down. The mileage is good, the mileage here. All right, so why don't we go ahead and I guess, because it's on that, I know we have Jim here, is Jeff coming as well? Jeff unfortunately could not make it. His son, isn't the honors since that time of year for that. Yeah, if it was a son planning out he'd find out a product. That's, you guys wanna move ahead to this or are you expecting, I know we're both Stefan and Sean who are planning on making it. Okay. And Cheryl too. And Cheryl, all right, so a little lead off on that because that is something that we have, you know what, might be a good time to take a little bit of the chain. Okay. Peace, which we need to do that and that brings us up to about that time. So that's something we need to go into exactly a session to do. So I'd move to go into the executive session for, John, can you give me a reason? So this would be confidential attorney client communications made for the purpose of providing professional legal services to the body. All right, and so I'd ask Cheryl and Sasha to stay as well. I'm from the, these are supervised or lost control or the LCT. So here tonight to discuss the federal CDL regulation departments. And I know you were in town a week or a week ago. Yeah. I appreciate you accommodating us. It's getting harder and harder to get out during the day to get these meetings and so forth. And I know Cheryl, Cheryl Liddon has joined us as well but I have most of her with me with the guys. So why don't you go ahead Jim and enlighten us. Yeah, so I guess, you know, we had a diverse discussion about all of the federal and care state administration regulations around record keeping. And I think the one thing that we had the most discussion on was the annual inquiry and review of driving records for commercial or legal operators. And so I don't know where, how do you like me to, if there's questions. Yeah, you would. Yeah, that's something that we haven't done here. So what we knew, or required for us. So my question would be why? Yeah, it is. And, yeah, hold on to them, guys. And then we can go from there. Oh, that's amazing. So am I, I guess. Yes. I guess. I guess. So there are a whole bunch of record keeping requirements for driver qualification files. And so 391.25, the annual inquiry and review of driving record requires that the employer determine whether the driver meets the minimum requirements for safe driving or is disqualified from driving a motor vehicle annually. While this is a, it's a federal motor care regulation, it's also a safety best practice for fleet operations because number one, doing the motor vehicle record checks you're verifying as the employer that they have a valid license. And number two, as an employer, you're validating that they're actually eligible and qualified to drive under federal work heritage rules, which means that they don't have any kind of outstanding or excessive violations or citations. And so the, I have another list that I'm gonna pass out. These are the ongoing record keeping requirements. So, So in addition to the annual motor vehicle record checks, so much should be reviewed in that annual record check and certifying that they've reviewed it and there's nothing wrong with that record. Drivers are also supposed to self certify that they had no violations or if they had violations, they need to self certify annually what those were before the motor vehicle record checks get from them. So it's kind of a double check. It's allowing the employee to provide a response and before you actually get the verification from the Department of Motor Vehicles. And this is in addition to all the drug and alcohol testing that they do. So, I mean this, we would pull the DMV report and then someone in our office would go over it. We would review it to be sure that it's not suspended or not. Right, and so there are a couple of instances just recently in a couple of municipalities where there was the first one. The driver, they actually suspected he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol and did a reasonable suspicion test on him and that came back positive for drugs. So they suspended him. While he was on suspended duty, he was working for somebody else. DMV pulled him over and found out he had suspended license and went back to this town and asked them if they knew if he had a suspended license while he was working for them and they had no clue. So that can happen. So there was another town just recently within the last four months that had a visit from Federal Motor Carrier. The driver had a positive drug test, was not in the process of doing follow-ups on return to duties or counseling. They also found his license was suspended. So it can happen. They could be the best driver, they could be the best employee, but if it means losing your job, you're gonna hide that. And there's a huge liability for the municipality to have somebody operating one of your vehicles without a license. Question. If you've checked within the past 12 months and it was good, are you going to roll out? You're still gonna be, you're gonna have some liability, probably not as much liability as long as you're doing that proactive check based on, you know, following the federal regulation. There's a whole lot of liability. It's how you control that and live it. How long has this required in place? Welcome. 1972. Okay. And so one of these, one of the exceptions where it says under sub-party G, any employees hired prior to 1971, it's one of those exceptions. So we understand as, have lost control folks who work with municipalities that this is one of many duties of the town clerk or the town administrator. And it's such a small piece of what they do that it can sometimes go unnoticed that it's not actually being done. And so we wanted to bring this to light and we've been doing a pretty good job for the last, I'd say five or six years creating these checklists. We have two checklists, one for premium.9, one for ongoing record keeping. We have all the documentation that you need to do it. And we've been notifying and pushing out that information to the town administrators, town clerks, whoever's in charge of kind of the drug and alcohol testing program or the federal drug care rules. And then providing guidance like we're doing here today. Again, it's all in an effort to manage your risk, make sure that your drivers are safe and not on the road in the legal framework. It's one of those things where you can take, I guess the principle, all right, you're gonna check on me and such. But I'm very honest with you guys, I drive a company car and I get it done to me on a yearly basis. It's not a perfect deal until actually this morning I got an email from them from the fleet companies saying my license was expired. And yeah, it was, no, it wasn't. The license was a little bit 20-20, but it was, you know, I was gonna stay with the DMV and they were fixing it very quickly. And it was just, you know, my fleet does another check, I have to keep the permission to check actually. So I don't think it's a, I understand where you feel like it's not. I won't speak for anybody else where I have the issue is you have the right to know, especially, you know, even the yearly check, that's fine. I could leave here tonight in my personal rig getting order violation and I have to report to you, even though it does not impact my license at all. I still have my driver's license, I won't lose my license. I have to report to you that I got a ticket in my personal rig. And furthermore, in the way that the stuff is written, it also says that we can be disciplined for getting a ticket in our personal rig even if it doesn't affect our license at work. Or our job. Or our job. Even if it is outside of work in our personal rig, it doesn't affect our license at work. And this is part of your CDL training and you're told this is not tested on that? No. No, we weren't aware of this. And then it came about here. Well, that doesn't seem... First, I've never heard of it. First time I ever went, recently at a municipal show, 11 other towns that I spoke to, 10 of them had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. The 11th one knew about it, but it was not doing it. And this has a lot of been around since 1971 or 72. So would it make more sense for people with CDL licenses to report their employment to DMV? Have DMV send this out? Don't have an issue with the DMV check at all. Yearly check, that makes perfect sense when I have an issue with it. Self-reporting on myself if I get a speeding ticket in my personal rig. Yeah, in my work, does that make any sense to anybody in this room? Mike, I think what I want to assume is that annual check to done, I'm sure you still have your CDL license. Other than that, I don't really care the town right now, what is going on with them. With the law. So, look at section B2. There are a whole bunch of disqualifying events, and that's, there's actually a document that we provided to the town. It's a disqualification chart. And those disqualifiers are really above and beyond something that's just like a minor speeding violation. I was doing 10 miles over the speed limit, got pulled over. That's nothing that an employer of commercial or vehicle operators would really care about, unless there was excessive, it was a repetitive event. So, you know. But you're still required to be reported along. Yeah, even if it's just, even if it's a little out of your report, whether you're concerned about it, we still have to be reported. Correct? I thought there was only 15 miles. So there was 15 miles over the speed limit. Yeah, 15 miles, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, let's read through it. So, you're required to be reported. I must admit, I guess that's not something we're not itself required to report. No, no, no, no, no. Because you're not a commercial motor vehicle operator. So, commercial motor vehicle operators are held at a higher standard than personal vehicle operators, right? Is it a, so, commercial motor vehicle is defined as a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight gaining 26,000 and one pound or more. Okay, then that one, no. So, these guys are commercial motor vehicle operators. They have a special license to drive in vehicles. And so, they're held at a higher standard by the federal government for doing this job. And so, some of them just follow the fires, I can tell you. So, you know, being under the influence of drugs and alcohol, obviously. So, if you get a D-Y and notify your employer, if you, those are all driving alcohol, using a vehicle to commit a felling. So, hopefully not doing that. Let's go to the speeding excessive weight involving any speed, 15 miles or more above the speed limit. Whether in your personal rate or in your commercial motor vehicle, driving recklessly is defined by the state of the local law or regulation, including offenses of driving a motor vehicle into willful or unwanted disregard for the safety of persons or property. Making improper or erratic traffic lane changes, following the vehicle too closely ahead of you, violating state of the local law with motor vehicle traffic control. Does any of that sound like because we have the discretion of the officer pulling you away? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nobody in this room would be able to do that. So, we have the information, but we don't have to do anything with that information once we get it, though, right? This is the employer must consider the driver's accident record. And, any evidence of the driver's violated laws governing the operation of vehicles must give great weight to violations, such as speeding, worthless driving, operated while with the influence of drugs or alcohol that indicate the driver is inhibited and disregarded for the safety of the public. And so, you have to get the motor vehicle record, you get a sign off from these guys, they had no violations or they had violations. You review it all and you make a decision of whether that operator is a safe operator and should be behind a vehicle of that size. So, it's just, it's good risk management practice, overall, because if something bad was to happen, that operator's record is actually, is going to be brought into that lawsuit. So, and they're gonna wanna know why the town let that person continue to operate. But if one person gets one speeding ticket. It's not gonna be a big deal, no. We have a speeding, no, it's not gonna work. We haven't had a speeding ticket since I was, it's 17 years old. So, I feel like I'm gonna take it seriously. I think something's been said about if we don't have anything to hide, we'd have no issues. I have nothing on my life. I've just gone back for eight to 10 years. I don't know what the last speed ticket I have. Grab nothing on my license, it's not about that, not at all. All right, well, I think, I'm gonna leave a question for Jim. Sherilyn, I know you have been involved in this. Do you wanna add anything or comments, Serena? No, we've all discussed it prior to this as well. So, just, no matter what's gonna happen, I'm gonna follow it. All right, just guys, with any Martin, you guys have any comments? All right, what is it to give George Terrence for, you know, for municipalities or any governmental agency that you do not have to pay a fee for these complete broker checks? All right, well, we'll move to, we've got all this information and we'll have to come up with some type of policy. Or not, but we need to discuss it. I don't think we need to match that out tonight, but we need to start getting this, getting care, what do I know. I appreciate you taking the time to convince him. It's gonna get the information straight from you. Actually, I have a thought, does anyone mind if we requested that DMV record? Meanwhile, as we're formulation policy, then we're covered from liability. There's a question, is that okay with everybody? I don't know if you would be here to check. So, can we go ahead and do that early check? Yeah, that's having up to us. We can go ahead and do that in a second, but. I'm just saying can we ask where we're all the staff to do that? I think it's a good idea. I think in Sherwin, is that something that you can do? I have it already. So, why don't we go ahead and start there? And we move on there, I think that's all right, sounds good. Thank you. My suggestion, one more suggestion. Does that work for a minute, sir? Sounds good to me, all right? Right, I'll do it. You might need to check with Rodney. So, they have to sign off on some of that. Yeah, it's actually the form right here. So, if you have it, you want to, these guys, you guys can take it home with you or sign it tonight, whatever you want to do. Thank you. So, how's everything going, Ted? So, your spouse was not here tonight? No. And, oh, you're like, where is she? All right, enough paperwork. All right, so let's go ahead and, we're all set, we want to, some of the other things, we improve the minutes for 4.15 and 5.20. All of the improved minutes are April 15th and April, I'll second this. Any discussion on those minutes? All fair and right? Right. All right, thank you. Any old business? Is this where you want me to pick up the Act 46? Yes. I've been reading over the Act 46 that happened in 2016, June 7th, both. Whereas, Moretown Elementary School would join the HUMUSB Union. So, I know that there's been some discussion about the, they couldn't close Moretown Elementary School without a hope of the people. That's not actually the fact. The fact is that, they're doing studies right now where Dave was in the other day. And they're, he's doing studies at every school as to the capacity for growth, the capacity for parking, how much land there is, you know, is there room to expand or go up. So, those studies of every school are being done right now. And there can be no consolidation for four years, which would be 2020. And then beginning 2021, it only takes the majority of the school directors to close the school after public notice. So, I just wanted you to keep that in mind. That there is not a town vote. It's a vote of the school of the HUMUSB school board to close the school. Now, the town has the first option to buy the school and the lands that were turned over to HUMUSB with the merger. But you also incur all of the debt, the current debt that they would have at the time. So, if there's a new roof, I forgot, I read how much the debt was, but anything that's done between now men to the school to forward payments, so what the town would have incurred those payments. If the town did not buy the property back for a dollar, then the school can sell property. All the holdings, the land, everything with that vote. Just turn it over and I'll tell you what you need. Can you buy it and run the school? Pardon? Can you buy it and run the school? If you want half the debt, how many dollars worth of debt? So, what about if you decided you wanted to draw from the district, can that happen as well? I think you can. That would be a question for Ron Shum's, but I think you can. But I think they've got it sold up pretty well, so that if you, you would still incur the debt. Right, well, I mean, that would be expected. I mean, we had that debt, we gave it away. You know, if it came back to us, I'd expect that we would. But that would be kind of the same thing. If they closed the school, you could buy it back for a dollar. It would be kind of the same thing as you're removing from the union. You know, at that time, I think, I mean, without going through all the legal. Right, but I mean, I think that's certainly something that that question should be asked at some point. So, the union would not have to vote. I thought, I was on the impression that they would have to vote to allow the unicef out of here. For the town? Yeah. No, the town, it's just a vote. So if we wanted to withdraw from the union. Oh yeah, the town would have to vote. The town would have to vote, but the union itself, the union school board would not have to vote to allow that kind of case. That was the impression that the union would have to allow us to leave. Yeah, that's what I thought. They would have to allow you to leave. After we have a town vote, after the town had a vote, then it would go to the district for another vote. Is that how it would go? I'm not sure about that. Yeah, that's a legal question for Ron Shams. He's been studying, oh Peter, we're going to go up. Are you guys considering doing this? Hold on one more time from the district? Matt, it's just a question. He just wanted to do that. Really, I think at this point, it's too early to even answer that. Yeah, right, right, right. Yeah, absolutely, no, I think that question used to be asked, what are the possibilities that would have to do with the option? I mean, you just start early looking at it, so you're not surprised. Yeah, I got you. Any other thing, I'm not sure? No other than if you're going to have a committee or someone to look into some of this stuff. I think Peter Langell might be interested in. All right, all right, let's just. It's just a sad one around, so we'll keep it on the agenda. Yeah, I think it's become a little business. Now also originally, I thought that there were going to be meetings held within each town. It sounds like that's not the case. What will be happening is the public meeting will hear public comment. Okay. Yeah, the wording, this is the contract. Prior to holding a vote on whether to close school, the board shall hold at least three public hearings regarding the proposed school closure. At least one of the public hearings shall be held in the community in which the school is located. If after conducting public hearings, the board of directors intends to vote on whether to close the school, they shall give public notice of its intent to vote to close the school, stating the reason for the closure at least 10 days prior to the school board's vote. Okay, actually, my question was in terms of an informational meeting on procedure and also the upcoming vote that they're shooting for 2020. Well, there's been a bunch. Well, there's been a bunch, but I thought that there was gonna be one specific for the town of Morton. Yes, yes, I just, at least one public hearing shall be held in the community in which the school is located. Okay. So there will be a public hearing in Morton. If after that hearing, they still decide to close the school, they'll put that out in a notice 10 days before they vote and the reasons why. So there'll be three public hearings at Power Road and one public hearing in Morton. We'll go down there. Yeah. Thank you, Sheryl. Yeah. Sasha or Sheryl, can you give an update on the sidewalk and the construction phase? Okay, so we have a chart. Do any of you have any questions on the bids are going out, the bid documents are nearly ready, to go out with the intent that construction start in September to get all the right-of-way work done that will happen through November. The state's gonna pay for 2020, they're gonna pay 200 B, and then this project will be finished up. You know, the gardening or whatever that does not involve the new pavement in 2020. Doug Henson said today that the bid document is nearly ready to go out. And so how are we gonna send those out in a month, like map works and things like that, or what do we do with those to make sure they're seen by a number of people? They will go to blueprints, blueprints. Works in progress, works in progress, works in progress. Blueprints will be available at blueprints, et cetera, I believe. Yes. Doug Henson will hold a site visit. He'll prepare the bids, he'll hold the site visit for contractors. He will handle any addendums to the contract, making sure that all of those who attend the site visit will be a mandatory site visit, making sure that all of the the bidders who attended the site visit have the same addendum, contracted addendum. Then, once all the bids are here, he'll bring the bids into the board, explain everything, and so you will have the choice of contractors. When should we be hiring an on-site person, almost looks like you don't want it up front, right? On-site person, we've got Pat Travis. He's the local project manager. Great, yeah, wow. And so he's, he'll be running it, he'll be running it. He'll need a contact person, I'm sure, from the town to make any decision or whatever. Sherilyn will be working closely with Chris Hunt on reimbursements, questions, anything. He's her go-to person. If the bids come in over, we'll show contact Chris Hunt. We'll have to do an addendum. Four more money on that. That's not our fault that the project has been held up. So it was B-trans. No, there's been a lot to it, but it's nice that it's finally pulling out the door. It'll be fine. It'll be fine. So you know this afternoon we spoke this morning, you were talking about the meeting or discussing the other side of the road, did that? Tomorrow. It's tomorrow, okay. So you meet with John Kaplan, right? Yeah, we didn't meet at night, did we? Oh, okay. So you did that with the sidewalk on the other side? Yeah, he's coming in to go over the grant that was denied last year to try to freshen it up and hopefully get it to go through so we can get the other side done. We want to know why they turned the grant down. He's the one who will fix what he wanted before. I want you to do the first side first. We'll get a problem with it. Oh my goodness. We'll show it so you can get it once we're done. No, actually now we have, we were using a cost estimate from Dubois and King from when they did the project back in 2010. We now have cost estimates from the state that the state uses. So we can prepare a new cost estimate sheet with the current prices and everything. My feeling is that that's where we flunked the first time around that they were afraid that the cost estimates weren't correct. So this time we'll have a lot to date state figures. You're right, it's there, so it's, all right. Okay, we'll definitely have a celebration when this thing hits the ground. So another old business I had off the board, I spoke with Cheryl earlier this week and it was my feeling and I think Sasha's doing a great job, Cheryl in picking up the grant stuff and everything you're doing but I think it would be advantageous to have Cheryl work five hours a week after her first month, after she's off her month, come back, work five hours a week until the end of the year. Basically as a audit what's going on in the office, make sure the grants are being taken care of and I know again it's nothing on anyone but just to make sure there's another set of eyes is that it's such an important thing that we do here and also to help Sasha through more training and if you work five hours a week, we'd give you that. A week, so every week, pick a day, Tuesday or Wednesday, come in for five hours. We've got the money and the budget to do it and we'll just be a failsafe to have that, but third set of eyes or something and make sure that the transition is as smooth as it used to be. Can I speak? I think that that would be a good idea as well because this has only been going on for less than a month now. To fill her shoes and, you know. No I haven't really asked why. I think you guys are doing a good job but just looking from the outside and just telling me we've got a resource here because we're going to have enough questions. You know, I can say just, all right, what are you going to do? How do you do this? And if we just had a couple, I wouldn't mind asking her but we're going to have enough so I feel like we should have her in work better for the end of the year and then we'll reevaluate it. How many months do you think you need for that? It's to the end of the year, right? You need half, do you need double? It's hard to know at this point right now if we get another sidewalk grant, if we get the grant to do the parking lot, the construction part of it. We've got like four grants going right now and it's a lot for a person to learn and she can do it, but it's a lot and it would be a lot easier to have some. Because in the same time, we want to continue doing those grants but it'll continue to be looking for other stuff. Yeah, yeah, there's three more grants that just came out. Right, it can't look good while they're dry and that's what can happen in these things so you've got to constant and then, and again, I think Sasha's doing a great job but there needs, as you said, there's a lot of things to do and we're probably not the best trainers here. So, no, I think it's, so you guys have. Yeah, that's probably a great idea. Besides after a month, we're also going to be a board out of a Monday. Yeah. I was, I believe, to the extent and for you. It's not going to affect you at all. Again, it's not here to do the work, it's here to audit what's going on, to do some of the work, to train and it's awesome. So it's just another five hours a week. That's how the experience is needed in the office. And the other thing that we were talking about the other day too is we're losing 32 hours a week with her. We had Katrina for 15 hours a week. We are taking off from the budget if she wasn't working, 42 hours a week. That's a huge. And you're doing it in half the time. Yeah. So we're asking a lot, you know, that's recognized. It's just imagine of, I don't imagine, it's just a conversion. Yeah, it's just a conversion and getting, you know, she can lay her hand on something in a second where we're going to be looking for it for a half an hour because we don't, you know, it's just little things. She has so much in her head that none of us know. Yeah. No, I don't know. I'm hoping we're going to have a request which is that we really concentrate on knowledge transfer because it will be so easy to pick things up and make them happen. And that wouldn't be what you're here for. You're thinking, really? She won't do it for her. Yeah. I've been pretty much doing that since the decision was made. I mean, look at what Sasha's doing tonight. I'm sitting here if she has trouble, you know, or anything to add, but Sasha's taking the role. Sharon is taking the role of getting the money back in grants, but there's questions and there's procedures that you have to follow for state regulations on how to get the money back. Yeah. No, I'm not doing it. I'm just kind of, I haven't been doing that. No, she has not. But I've been asking, the questions, there are questions. I support your guidance, Chase. And I don't want her doing the job either. So we want to be able to step off, you know, come January, but you know, until then, let's make sure everyone's up to speed and doing what they, you know, you got a great resource, thank you, Angela. And she's made it very clear that she'll take phone calls from us. Well. She'll change your number. Everyone says that at first. So the other thing I want to discuss and actually, gentlemen, here is we have talked about your compensation, you know, in January, February or something at that point. So I'd like to commit with you in the next month, we will set some time together as a ward. John and I will work with, I think, our near group at first to look at that, but get that done in the next month. And we're also going to include Sasha as well. I don't know if that's up to you guys, but as well to evaluate, as we said, as well. So that's in, let's send more follow-through with, follow-through with, you get that done this month on June, but to the end of July, how's that? There's, I guess, a traveling day and it's been set up, but we'll get that done here. I think that's all I have. We have some signings we have to do. I think there's one more old business, the tax maps. You can use this now. Yep. Okay. Okay. Thanks. Thank you very much. See you later. Thank you very much. We still have a lot of issues with the tax maps and yes, we're going to lose a little bit of clerk revenue because the minute somebody walks through the door and they walk out, you have to get charged for their time and their copies. But I don't think that by putting the tax maps on the internet, we're going to lose enough to worry about. It's also just passing the state where they're going to be changing the recording fee. So we'll be making that for some of that while it's there. I think that would be beneficial to our taxpayers to see these. Some people don't even know that there's errors because they haven't seen them. We're still correcting them on a daily basis. I was hoping you would be in favor of those students. I am. I mean, yeah, we're going to lose a little bit of revenue, but knowing that it's a little bit more than changing another area, I think it won't make up for it. I think our data is going to get a lot better. Yeah, I do too. Yeah. But so I would support putting the tax maps on. I would not support putting anything else on. But the tax maps, I would definitely support it. All right. Does that have something that we were going to do? Just Paul? Honestly, I almost think it's a matter of just talking to CAI because I already have them electronically. So it's a matter of just sending them to JB and playing them on. But honestly, they come out on a piece of paper this size. So you tax not five, it could have 100 or plus or less parcels on it. So some of them are really hard to see. So they would have to copy it and then blow it up and see it. But they could at least get a jit so that, and then if they got a question, come in and look at the big maps. So Sasha, so can we look into that and see what the process and how that would work? Yeah, I'd like to know what the options are for maps. So we can put it up there. Have you ever looked at the warrants website? I don't know. It was a while ago that I looked, but you could click on a certain area and then you'd get all kinds of information. I don't know how in depth that would be. Probably be like a whole computer program that would cost a lot. Oh, we already agreed to pay for adding dimensions. So I'm hoping all that could be put up. Those are not on there yet. That's probably gonna be a little bit. Yeah, no, not right away. Cause I think once people see the map with dimensions on it, is when they'll start correcting things. Yeah. Is there any other, I don't want to go to business, we also have personal policy revisions. Is that? I don't have it out here. I was gonna do it next time. Okay. Because there was so much on for coming. If there's any big things, can you just send those forward to people prior to the meeting? Sure. Is it still all VLCT changes? Yes. Suggested changes. All right. So Matt, we just don't get to your side. How's that going to be? I think so. Thank you, Cheryl. You're welcome. Thank you, Cheryl, Linda. You know, our annual agreements with the second robot community society. On my ears, the removal contract for the cardiographic associates, plus the ACA. All right. What is this here?
