 So here it is 615 Must be my mask All right, so here it is 615 on November the 8th, and we're gonna Bring this meeting to open we have Pat and I are here Frank's every is not feeling too good. So he's zooming in so he doesn't share with us and We are We have posted this agenda on the website and in publicly in town and email to interested parties So we can we can legally conduct this meeting and we will be Taking public comments at the end of the meeting and we'll be limited those to five minutes per Per speech on that and we're gonna start out with the minutes from the prior meeting of October 25th Martha, can you hear me now? Yes, I can thank you. You're welcome. All right They look good to me to Frank Pat. Do you have any modifications or changes? No, I do not They're fine with me. Yeah, all right, then I had moved to approve the minutes of the October 25th meeting I second that all in favor. All right. All right. All right, cool and we have Don't guess here. We've got Terry Savry and some others from the fire department and I presume you want to talk about the Discussion to purchase a secondhand compressor for the fire department. Is that right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you want to Come on up and give us a little presentation so they can hear you on the zoom Because we haven't had Easter for two years is the paper I gave you and Mr. Supper this fall couldn't do because of COVID and then the budget last year we had 3300 we couldn't get holes for six months Because of COVID backup So if you told up, you know Easter we usually take in 42 to 4500 somewhere in there and so if you figured it up, it's at the low end it's 14 7 and What we're really doing is looking for you know a commitment out of town to say maybe some of those funds that we're getting the money from states and See because the compressor is going to be in the range of 15 grand for the compressor and Phil station Which we figure we think it's a really good deal It's a second hand one, but still it's a Way ahead of 65,000 way ahead. Yeah, where are you getting it? Who's got it? I Don't exactly know yet where it's coming from. It's coming out of Massachusetts MES is the company that we'd be buying it from But our donations have been way off in the last two years and we don't get hardly anything now since COVID took over. Yeah, and you know, we just We aren't asking for you know, we just like Some way we got to raise this money to buy this thing because you know, we just needed to train it. I mean, it's essential really Excuse me, Terry. How much did you say you had raised was it 14,700? No, we haven't raised anything. Oh I would raise anything Because of the lack of the fundraising It's lack of fundraising. Yeah, we have nothing fundraising in two years and This year is not looking any better like we're going to be able to do it this year either So I think that's a pretty clear Result of the COVID which is what you know in terms of these Stimulus funds. I think that's a reasonable pretty clear Use for that and from the beginning we are thinking that fire You're so right The from from the beginning of trying to figure out how we can legally Distribute some of these stimulus funds that we've got the the fire department seemed like a pretty obvious Candidate for that seen as they canceled their Easter suppers and fundraising activities. So I think that's that's You're pretty reasonable ask you pat Yeah, we probably aren't gonna He said I wouldn't know for four to six weeks on when you would take it. Yeah, but it's gonna be a you know, they'll bring it up hook it up We probably won't get it for four to six weeks Because that's when they're gonna get it in. Yeah, and then they're gonna service it Put a stamp on it saying it's all passed and And we do we have them come service it every year It's a tight thing. You can't for to have something bad. Yeah So excuse me, do am I correct that? You're going to be using it was very faint You're going to be using some town stimulus funds to pay for that $15,000 cost. Yes That's what we're talking about. Yeah, okay. Thank you. Sorry. That's all right So I can double check with Larry We have the money So I can double check with Larry to make sure that that fits into the criteria of all the ARPA funding Which I'm I'm also pretty confident that it would So we can check with Larry that way when you have that conversation With is it NES or MES MES You can have it with a firm footing that we would be able to provide the funding So what we would need from them would be a purchase order, right? And the size of this compressor was there's something about 30 horsepower or something. No, no, it's just it's big enough to fill our air bottles, which are Okay, okay All right, so the gist of this is we're going to verify with Larry who's been Kind of been our advisor on the ARPA funds and but the sense of the board here is that that's a reasonable ask and Encouraged a fire department to go ahead and say they're interested in that used compressor Frank you have something? Yeah, and I think we also Probably want to take beyond just the board Take some input from the town and then suggestions. This is I think Would be something good to put on the agenda for the town meeting to bring up and and invite the public to Bring their thoughts on that They may not be aware of the constrictions that there are on the funds But we could at least put it out there and ask their input Yeah, what's your question Robert? Larry Strauss Okay Everyone if if you wouldn't mind I think that at the beginning Select board meeting a school board meeting a board of civil authority meeting Every elected official and an appointed official should introduce themselves by name and their position especially regarding the planning board The so I'm a little upset. You seemed a little despondent But people don't know who people are even though they live in the town the last planning and zoning board I would recommend that so we the select board members the planning got we've got your point No, Larry Strauss is not present at zoom or in the room here tonight So that wouldn't help anything but we have clarified that that it is is Larry Larry's Larry's affecting the decision and I don't know who I know Larry Strauss, but when you guys say Larry did this and Larry did that You know Okay, we got your point Thank you All right, are you guys we're pretty much done with that Yeah, I'm okay with it. Yep. All right. Thank you guys for coming. Did you have anything else you wanted to No, all right, thanks for coming wait wait is the meeting over No, no this conversation about the fire department Asking about purchasing the compressor is over we're moving on to the the next item which is discussing the new increased dog license rates Okay So Julie do you want to speak to your thoughts on this? sure in the past our rates for a spade and neutered word was seven dollars and the non spade and or neutered was 13 and we're gonna raise it or I'm sorry was seven and 11 and now we're gonna I can't hear you. I'm sorry. Sorry So, I'm sorry We're looking to increase the fees for the dogs Licenses because we mail out all of the licenses in December for the April deadline and in order to Keep up with the Sorry in order to keep up with the fees with recording in progress. Sorry in order to keep up with the increase of postage and Sending out notices we thought that it would be wise to Ask the board if we could increase the spade and neutered from seven to nine and the non Spade to from 11 to 13 and Then after April 1st, there will be a five dollar late fee plus 50% added to each License which is state that's that's a state Briefly. Yeah, could you briefly? Yeah Yeah, go ahead. I'll wait three seconds and then continue. How many dogs are in Rochester? Oh Kristen could you answer that? Um, yes, this year we've registered approximately 312 With a handful of people that I know that have dogs but have yet to license them So at the end of the day if every dog was registered in license, what would the outcome with the increase be? $600 So the town takes in $600 That would be the increase over what was the the number they're adding the $600 to Roughly $2,100 so 21 plus 6 is 27, right well kudos 300 Okay, all right, is that was that your question Robert? Well, I think we have other things to focus on rather than people's dogs because that ain't right But that's on the agenda Robert. So could you please hold your comments until we have something that you want to? Specifically talk about other than complaining about what's on the agenda Um, so I I'd move to accept this increase in the in the prices. Yes Yep Frank, I'm in favor. Okay, all in favor I Thank you for putting that together Yep the next item on the agenda is Approving a preventative maintenance contract for the town office elevator also something that we are pretty required to do and this is with Access mobility This is who we were using before yeah And as have they changed anything price wise No, we're looking at three hundred seventy five dollars per year and a five percent discount on all parts Not including Vermont sales tax So I've moved to approve the contract with access mobility for maintaining the Elevator in the town office All in favor Right And now we have We've been currently using the Get into me a blank what's other MVP MVP not yeah, we were using them last year for our time ploy health insurance and We're we have to look at how we're gonna go forward with them Is that MVP Let me speak up dude. Could you repeat that acronym? MVP it's one of the main health insurance offers out there other than blue cross and blue shield Well, you see that like I'm supposed to assume that I know it Well, it's Yep, so Julie you want to speak on that so The two the two carriers blue cross and blue shield and MVP for the platinum that the Current employees have I can't hear you. I'm sorry MVP and Blue cross and blue shield both carry are the carriers that were that this like Ford is looking at the MVP is what the employees have been using and Starting in January Blue cross and blue shield will increase by $80 the Benefits on both are identical and So it's just up to the board to decide if they want to continue with MVP And they think they only went up $12 So and have our employees been satisfied with the service they've been getting from MVP then no complaints on that No, and it still appears to be the better deal I would I would think that we would want to continue on using MVP you guys Frank Pat you have any comments Yeah, all right, I think if it isn't broke don't fix it. Okay, so I would move to continue on with MVP the platinum monthly plan for town employees Favor all right. Okay. Thank you now Oh Lots of papers Next on the agenda we have application from Ken Beatty DBA Beatty earthworks for a The class class for a highway maintenance permit for Oak Lodge Road It's basically winter plowing removal of downed trees and seasonal filling of potholes and and or stone raking so This would be the third year that he's he's taken this on And we have had no complaints from the public He seems to be Responsibly, I didn't hear Patty Harvey's comment saying that we we've had no complaints The work that Kenny has done from the public or neighbors And he's been this will be the third year that he's asked for permission to maintain this road. So I I'd I'd move to approve this Yeah, all in favor All right, all right Okay, the Next topic is the emergency generator grant We've got Joan if you got something that you want to say Yes, can you hear me? Yes. Okay. I've been yeah, I've been working with Frank on this and What I did on Friday was to call the three Companies that had submitted quotes for us back when we were just applying for the grant In order to find out what the supply of generators In power that we're looking to purchase What their availability is these days given a lot of supply chain issues and also if they could say Anything about what was happening to the price of both the generators themselves and any major parts that we would need Installation and all three of them slightly different ways basically said yeah Well, some generators are in very short supply. They seem to be more ones used at the retail or residential level More than the size we're looking for we're in the 10 to 12 or 14 kilowatt size Which is it's it's large for residential But anyway, what I'm being told is that they're sort of in stock in one At one company they have a few that they were able to get early on and have been stockpiling them another one says they have a 10 kilowatt They have a few of them left and If we order it sooner rather than later, we would be waiting a few months for it So they were recommending that we order it Sometime soon and then we would have it three four or five months is what they're guessing right now That that particular supplier said that the cost of the generators hasn't gone up that much But their installation costs have because of labor shortages and then the final Contractor that we got a quote from said They had a few 10 kilowatt collars in stock and The price had gone up four hundred dollars on those But everything else installation wise was the same for them. So it's a little bit of a mixed bag but it seems like If the town wants to go ahead and get started on that You know, we're not gonna lose anything Or we could wait a couple of months and it would probably be about the same situation So Frank you want to add anything to that? No, I think you covered it pretty well Joan. I I think in and Looking forward, I think we should probably order it up and get set on it. So we have it in stock You get ready to to prepare for that the grants good until December. Is that correct? Yeah, 2022 so we do have time if we put out the bid Probably I would say January Then by the time the ground is Unfrozen and they can start digging and doing the installation and getting the The parts and the and the generators in you know, March April something like that So excuse me Joan, do you have You said there were three Companies that have made bids. Are you and Frank recommending any particular company to the board? They were not bids They were just quotes. What excuse me quotes. Pardon me. You were quotes that were required for applying for the grant And are those the the amounts that they quoted are they within the grant? Parameters or the amount of money we were looking at getting well, it's not clear now I'm talking to these three different companies that appears those Possibly or probably I think we can probably expect some increase Either in the cost of the generators or the cost of installation or possibly both Doesn't seem to be No one's you know sounding the alarm and saying it's gonna be up a whole lot. I Don't know if they were just being salesman about it. Yeah No, the bids came in a Little bit less than what we got the grant for just to help with that specific issue But we weren't sure how much of the increase was going to be but that's how we determined the size of the grant That's how that grant was determined by the three bids that we got Right quotes. Yeah, and where did the grant come from? Excuse me. I forgot the federal grant. Thank you from FEMA So Jeff Jeffrey, I know if you wanted to chime in here You had put forth the question about whether or not the town had considered Investing in a battery bank instead of a generator to provide the same service and it's it appears to me that that the The nature of this as an emergency source standing there would Not play well with the batteries which would just they don't like to sit they want to be used, you know what I mean And so that was some of the information that I got that is it's not totally An optimal use of a battery bank to be just sitting there and charged waiting for an emergency It could well be doing I do not know That much about the battery banks. My question was if they can perform the same job Provide the same kilowatt output and coverage Is their flexibility in the grant to switch from a fossil fuel system to an electrified system? my understanding is that Residential Like a Tesla battery is about a 13 kilowatt system And I don't know that that as a residential system would be appropriate either Pretty much all generators need to be exercised You know fossil fuel generators are supposed to be run a certain number of hours each month to keep them in prime condition I don't know what the requirement for use discharge and recharge would be from you know An electrified system, but the the big question was is there any flexibility in the grant if it if this if the Function could be served with a non fossil fuel system That I don't know I'm not sure The funders really care how we power it, but we did Present it the proposal to them grant request to them With certain specifications You make it can I make a suggestion? Hello Yeah, we hear you. What's what's your suggestion Robert? Well, and I'll do a respective Jeff Jeffrey get part I am totally into batteries. I live off the grid and I know what it takes to run my home and Jeffrey's futuristic look is very respected But the problem is we still need the generator Like you said doom to exercise the batteries It's like if you have a generator and you don't run it the generator goes dead If you have batteries that aren't exercised the batteries go dead. So it goes back to the You know the question of this thing we're into Which I totally respect with regards to energy and What I have to do in my home every day to just be on this interview or this meeting tonight I know what I have to do. I know what I have to generate know what the batteries in my home will generate but Jeffrey or doing your right. They have to be exercised. You can't just have a bunch of batteries Sitting down there somewhere without being it's kind of like taking a walk. If you don't walk Yeah, to be at your feet. No, thank you, Robert That's I guess that maybe that plays into I now understand when the people put the Tesla batteries in that the power Company has it can drain them up or down And that's perhaps that is part of the necessity to exercise them But you could also have the power go out and not necessarily have a full charge if you're if you're Hooked up to the grid in that way, but Jeff you had another comment you want to make Yes, and you just pretty much said it the battery technology has changed over time and their control systems that are in use that Facilitate longer life and that's exactly what GMP was talking about with the Resiliency zone it would be necessary to have an appropriate technology And that kind of control and know what the longevity of the system is all of those things are important Yeah, the question really is is is there enough flexibility to consider this if it meets all the criteria that the fossil fuel generator would meet They're making This let someone else that we got them Joan you have comment never. Well, I'll just add a comment which is that I live off the grid as well And we have a lot of regular battery maintenance that has to be done And it's not, you know that hard to do but I think it's very different when You're in a residence and you know the batteries are Providing your power at home versus a situation like this where essentially that generator sits there quietly and is rarely used and only in an emergency and To you know, there might be someone like Frank or someone else who's prepared to Want someone to come down and run the generator a little bit and check on the batteries and stuff But I think the reality is it's hard to maintain that and it's easy to forget about it or somebody you know leaves and Then you have to find somebody else who's willing to do that and be reliable and because this is an emergency system You need to make sure that thing is prepared to go when you need it. So Speaking personally, I'm totally for off the grid living and Living green when you can but I just don't think this is a situation that would work well in it or that kind of thing So I'm sorry, excuse me. I thought you were I thought so I Just want to recommend that we stick with the propane I agree with that Joan and so do I all right So I I think we should go ahead and and put the order in and get in line because I'm I'm not totally trust in the supply Chain nowadays and I think the sooner we get our name on on something the better even if it's not going in until the spring Okay I'll do it as soon as I can but I'm really under the gun right now to finish all the FEMA work In December, so I I'll be glad to jump on that as soon as I finish that All right You know, you know in all due respect dune. Are you there? Yeah, I'm still here You know, this is a great conversation of a transition of power and survival and things but If if if Jeffrey and I could have a conversation Do you know how many Tesla cars run out of energy while I'm on the road? And they're saying where can I hook up? And their wife and their children are in the back seat and they're in this $80,000 vehicle And they're saying where do we Where do we go and I want you I want you to know that I have offered those people private residents that have total Power supplying places where they can go and they're like, oh my god. Thank you, Robert And I'm not going to mention the people that have hookups to Tesla but You It's I yeah your point is it's um It's still an emerging technology and it's not um in in terms of an emergency generator to To power the town office an emergency that propane is probably a little bit more of a robust solution at this time I totally agree with John because uh, we're going Okay, so we're gonna Robert. We're gonna Move on but I appreciate your um your support and then input The next item on the agenda is a discussion about ideas moving forward with the eii findings That was the evaluation of the town buildings their state and how to move forward as a board and um Excuse me. Oh, I'm sorry. Could you just tell me what eii stands for? I apologize. I don't remember. Thank you Martha I I wanted that today too What is eii? Yeah, we talked about this at the last couple meetings energy efficient investments incorporated This was a thank you company that was um Yep There's the building audit for the town buildings and um Frank had some thoughts about the The practicality and the necessity to probably put together a separate task force to really um Take these this input in and that could should include some people more versed in the construction trades that could really Interpret and and you know help to to guide action moving forward about that Frank. Do you want to speak to that? Well, I don't don't really have too much to say about it doing but I I think that's the best way to move forward with this To get more people involved. We're always listening to people that Come in and say, you know, geez. What are you going to do or how you're going to manage this and And I think for the three of us on the select board to try to come up with some plan is just More than what the select board should be looking at and it sure would be nice to get some people that have some Some knowledge and some and could offer some some constructive input To where we go from here And I would like to see that happen and I think the way to do it is to Have a special select board meeting and just have that as what we're going to talk about and see how many people we could get to to Join in and and maybe form a citizen group that can Kind of figure out a path forward for us That's my thought Anybody out So we have Martha that did does that clear to you that's not a Bad thing to have in the paper and inviting people that would be interested in I can put in the article that you suggested that you would have a special meeting But if you unless you've got a specific date or time, I can certainly put that in if you have No, we don't have a specific date or time now But yeah, just putting it forth that We're open to you know If anyone's interested in serving on a committee Regarding the condition of the buildings and improvements needed in our town they could contact I cannot hear you She said is anyone out there is interested in serving on a committee that would be focused on This issue of the condition of the town buildings and how we go about addressing those They'd be good to Put it out there that we're looking for For contributors to that So discussing the condition of the buildings and and suggestions and they should call like the town office and talk to Julie about it. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, June. Yeah There's an incredible force of great people that will do everything they can to Scrape paint and make the town hall of Rochester look proper and anything we need to do. It's just Asking the people that aren't here. They don't get on these meetings But there's a force of great people in this town That will just offer their service. I'll offer the services What do you want done if you want to town office hour wash I'll power wash it for free All right, we may take you up on that one these days There is a little bit tricky with the lead paint issues and we have you have to It's the days of the volunteers jumping up and Scraping and painting the buildings at least on a public building. It's not so easily done that way But um, but that's why we want to um I agree with frank having a special meeting that is focused on this topic. It makes sense It's not and do you have any, um, excuse me Do you have any idea of when you might have it like soon or like in the next few months or something? I could say about over the course of the winter over the course of the winter martha Okay, thank you. Yeah Yeah After the holidays probably Yeah, um Can I just add one thing before you go on doing? Yeah, martha just just say we're we're looking for interested parties like pat said I think that's important Yeah To see what kind of response we get before we issue any any time for a meeting I I think we need to see if people are interested in that Uh, this is this would be kind of more of a project For a select board Can handle at this time. I think with all the other issues that we deal with And that's why I think that's it's a better way to go All right, thank you Joan, um, you're already speaking about the generator and and do you have any other updates other than Being under the gun to finish up the FEMA paperwork I don't want to make too much of that. But the only other item I have Is uh, do and I'll be drafting a letter for you this week for you to sign Uh, I finally was able to get some information on how the town Uh is able to decline the FEMA funding for the retaining wall Um, we will be having to return the funds of course and what I was told today is that Uh, we have to send a letter, uh, which just you know Says that we're declining that part of the grant from FEMA and give the reasons why and uh, apparently the funds will be returned to the state and the state will take care of returning them to FISA That's sorry to FEMA The amount that uh will be returned is 15,799 and 60 cents. That's what FEMA has paid us already that's 75 of what they estimated Uh, the retaining wall project was going to cost And just for the the public's um, understanding would you summarize what why that project kind of Came up against a wall, shall we say? Sure, uh, we originally thought it was a fairly simple thing, but uh at the time that we were required by FEMA to uh Do a quick design of the project and do a cost estimate it was Uh, it was at the end of 2019 and everybody was just going too crazy Especially Puder and his crew doing Road repairs to be able to spend any time figuring out how to do that retaining wall So we agreed to have FEMA To the design at least a preliminary design and the cost estimate for us, which they offered to do in cases like that and unfortunately, um Once we were able to hire an engineer Uh, this was Last summer it was sometime well into 2020. I'm forgetting exactly when Uh to actually take a closer look at what the problem was there What's causing the sinkhole and what would be the best long-term fix? Uh for a rather sensitive situation there with You know the sewer line as well as the outfall sewer line paralleling The brook there as well as the outfall, which is the thing where that was causing the the sinkhole We realized that was more Uh a more extensive job than what FEMA had had estimated for And as a result, uh the amount of money that they estimated was going to be too little And after discussion at a select board meeting a number of months ago, uh, you decided that it made more sense for us to Decide not to pursue the project right now And at that point, I think we were hearing that there was going to be a lot of federal money flowing Through the state possibly for projects of this sort town infrastructure That it made more sense to To wait and also consulting with the engineer cricket, uh who advised us that She thought things were stable for the time being that site The only thing that could upset that opinion was if we had another great big storm And if we don't be now and we're able to Raise the money for the project and do it and we'd be waiting And can you remind me exactly where the retaining wall is? I've forgotten It's along, uh, I guess it's brook street brook, which is right right this Thank you parking lot there. Thank you We had permission to to do it on the on the low end scale Um, we could have probably done it for the 15 000 but One of the concerns I had at the time was if we did it and the fix didn't work and we got into the sewer system Um through another flood of some sort we would be probably responsible for that So I felt an engineered plan would be a lot smarter to go as far as our liability down the road Um, and that was one of the reasons why we chose to go this way too Um, all the bids came in a lot higher than we assumed they would And drove us in a position where we hated to we couldn't really afford to do it. So um We should have probably looked into it a little differently I uh, that was probably my call where I made a mistake on which you know, I'll own that That's the way it is. I'll I'll learn from that situation and go forward with it So, uh, that's why we chose to to do it the way we did. Yeah So I'm I'm curious if now with some of this new stimulus money that's opened up. Maybe if we approach this as a sewer project Versus a retaining wall project that may give us access to funding in a different From a different pot there Yeah, well, certainly town infrastructure for both sewer, you know, stay up. Yeah to to protect that line. Yeah, right And also it's it's a storm water outfall And so yeah, it's all sort of the same Yeah, yeah so, but so Returning this money doesn't preclude us from applying in the future again. I would presume Ufima. Yeah. No, I I wouldn't think so. Um, okay Reasonable reason to decline the money. Yeah, can I make a comment? Sure well Look at Nancy willy. She's got her hand over her face I just want you guys to know that I'm not in this meeting to be a An interrupter I'm involved with Bethel and Rochester Both towns are incredibly resilient and need to grow And my my question to everyone on this meeting is how in god's world can we get Can we get the taxpayers? Not get them, but Be resilient with regards to the tax monies that are paid to the town without being dependent on FEMA two rivers out of qui chi All we do is get grants and we depend on them and then if there's a disaster and and joan doesn't have a A confirmation from FEMA or Two rivers out of qui chi we're cooked So my my point is Can we can we look? seriously everyone look at the tax base and I brought this up many times 92 of your taxes go to the education department All right, we have no control over that and and this board Well, no, wait a second 92 of your property taxes that are paid by taxpayers that work hard every day Go to the education department. Meanwhile, jones is trying to get a wall built on brook street There's a problem so um robert if you want to maybe At the end when we get public comment if you want to go on And we'll give you a chance to speak on that but um five minutes, you know, but um, I think that at this point We'd just like to keep moving forward Respect you. Yeah Um, joan, are you finished there? I am. Thank you. Thank you I don't see anyone here from the library on zoom or in person so we'll go on by that and um the highway they're prepping for winter changing tires and mountains snow plow frames The um been doing some grading terry you're here anything on the utilities front Yeah, terry just says that when some of this grant money Does come there are some projects that need to get done I'm curious about the The project across from terry sevry's house. Um, is that a new generator being installed By the private owner or is that a replacement? That's uh, that's a private private owners I believe that's at least what terry is indicating there. That's nothing relative from the municipality um, well there was concern there was concern about The property of terry sevry Regarding the sale of the property with the Nothing that says nothing to do with um that what you're talking about there. I don't think um Jeffrey get part um as an energy coordinator We had you speaking a little bit already, but is there anything else you'd like to to speak about tonight? Oh, you're muted.
