 I'm still 45 degrees, I seem like I'm 37. Well, it's really, okay. I think we're all set. Back. All right, thank you, everyone. Appreciate giving us that time. Especially the team right outside, I guess that was almost a half an hour. So let's go ahead, back to you, Jennifer, there's no other public comments. Let's see, I'm sure everyone is in there. Let's go ahead and we have the art piece for the town-wide reappraisal. We'll go ahead and open that up. And we only had one bid, and that was from the member. Okay, 12 costs of the reappraisal will be $95,520. This includes inspections of all property, data entry, sales analysis, and development schedules and operating in the particular system. Digital pitchers and formal grievance in board of civil authority groups. These rates are based on the parcel of 959 parcels, which does include exempt properties. Beyond this number, parcels will be charged at $100 per parcel. Periods requested beyond BCA hearings will be billed at $150 per hour payment schedule. Payment will be a monthly rate of $3,980 for a period of 24 months, beginning July, 2022. Cush up, do we have, where, how many places to do some of our reality? So all requirements have been asked. Great, I think we can just share with you. Appraisal funds, we have $77,908. So that would be, if we added more. And again, these are payments, monthly payments begin in July, 2022. So I think we're set as far as paying. There's, we all remember it quite well, but there's a appraisals and staff qualifications that anyone wants to take a look at or go through. But I think based on, certainly here, the bid and what we've heard from Ed Klokfelter, when he came in a couple of months ago on comfortable business with the company, that's something that needs to be done. So I move to accept a bit of limits for $92,520. Second. Got it? Any further questions? All in favor? All right. All right. So that's what we can do. We'll go forward with that. We'll get a contract and sign up for this. All right. So moving right forward, we have the regional emergency management phase and we have Grace Vinson and step on. So step on if you want to move in. Hi, Grace, how are you? Good, how are you? I'm not sure she was not moving. Grace, can you hear me? I can hear you. Okay, we can't hear you. Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Now I can't hear you, dang it. Very good. Now you should hear us fine. How's that? Nothing on your side, you can't hear me? Okay, I think we're all set. Okay. Sorry about that. The joys of Zoom. Yeah, that is all right. Well, thank you for joining us tonight. Step on is here as well. So what do you have to share with us? Yeah, so first of all, nice to meet you all virtually. I don't know if I've ever come to a more town select board meeting before. So thanks for giving me the time. Basically, I just wanted to give you a super brief overview of a new kind of emergency management committee for lack of a better word that is being formed called Regional Emergency Management Committee. So this is an effort by the state to kind of make a more holistic approach to emergency management. So including more stakeholders, including the former members of the local emergency planning committee. So LEPC five, if you were familiar with that. So everything's kind of shifting and being consolidated and these new RMCs are being formed. So the RMC for central Vermont is gonna consist of two representatives from each municipality in the region. And what I'm doing is going around to each town and reaching out to them and seeing who they want to represent their municipality at the RMC level. So the EMD for each municipality is automatically a member and automatically a representative. But the state would like the second representative for each municipality to be a member of the emergency medical services community, the EMS community. So in the email I sent last week or maybe the week before, I think some of you were CC'd on that. I included the three point of contacts for the local emergency management plan and the EMD is one of those. So tonight I was just hoping to see what your thoughts were on who the second appointee for more town could be. There is an option for a proxy. If you don't have an EMS community member, you know, not everybody has a fire department and stuff like that, but more town does, you can basically have the EMD serve as two votes if you only have one member that you wanna represent the town. But tonight I was hoping to get your thoughts on who that second member could be. The state would like each REMC representative to be appointed by the end of the month. So I'm kind of doing the rounds of the select board meetings. Thanks. So step on being our first step on, do you have any ideas, someone that has an experience to be the second? Right, I wasn't sure. When we were emailing back and forth, there was, you know, the other points of contact are yourself, Tom and John Colubu. I know you guys aren't in the fire department realm, but as the EMD on the fire team, so we kind of have somebody in that realm, so I wasn't sure if one of you was an option for that. And that would be a question for Chris. Do John or Tom, do you have, you know, EMS experience at all? No. So, Stefan, since you are also the fire chief, I mean, you could do that proxy where you serve as both, since, you know, you kind of bring both views. The idea for the EMS member is to kind of bring the view of the EMD and also bring the perspective of EMS, because like those two groups haven't always been in the same room. So that's the idea behind that. Right, and I don't know of anybody that's, you know, actively on my fire department that is actually, you know, also part of like the Madden Valley Ambulance, which is the ambulance service that covers this area. Or Johnny, Johnny or Steve. Johnny's certainly an option. I don't know what his schedule looks like. And I know that Steve, the assistant chief, is on Madden River Rescue, which is part of the EMS setup there. So I could certainly ask him, I wasn't sure going into this, what the requirement was. Sure, no, I appreciate you respecting us here. But yeah, it's Steve, because he has both, I think would be probably quite good. If not, Johnny would be fine. I think there's, might be, I don't know if any of those other guys that we know they're both on the ambulance. Actually Courtney Gayette, she's on Waterbury Ambulance, as well as, so that could be, that's probably a great option. I'll have to talk to her though. Okay, explain to Grace who she is. So Courtney Gayette is one of the firefighters on my department, and as well as my secretary at the department, but she's also a member of Waterbury Ambulance. So I think that would be an acceptable person if I can get her to do it. Yeah, definitely. In terms of requirements, we're aiming to meet quarterly. So the REMC is gonna be subject to open meeting law, which is gonna make quorum a little bit of an adventure to achieve since it's 23 towns with two representatives each. But there is the option to do like informational meetings. If we don't have quorum, we can just have a meeting where we don't take action on anything. So, if you can't make every single meeting, that's not the end of the world. Ideally, it's just, go ahead. Can we have Courtney set up in such a way that, yeah, we bring her in as we can, but we also can do proxy in her absence at any point and work all together. So if she can attend, I can vote on her behalf. Yeah, all you would need to do is like, if you intend to have those two votes at some meeting, you can just email me ahead of time and be like, I'm gonna be her proxy for whatever meeting. Okay. That would be great stuff on every chapter curve. Absolutely. And if not, we can put it down the chain, but it sounds like you have a couple of candidates. Absolutely, yep. Awesome. And we by the end of the month, grace, right? Yeah, now, will the select board have to decide in order to? Yes, yeah. So the select board does need to appoint the two people, but if that's not done by the end of the month, that's not a huge deal. The state just wants to have an idea of who the appointees would be, but you don't necessarily have to have it, you know, set in stone by the end of the month. I know your next meeting would be. First Monday. Yeah, okay. November 1st, yeah, so if you could do something, then that would be ideal. Yeah. If there's room on the agenda. Yeah, Sasha, can you want to put that on, please? We got that, anything else, Grace? No, that's it. Oh, well, I'm also the point person for ARPA. That's not what we're talking about right now, but if you have any ARPA questions, feel free to email me. Yeah, you know what, maybe we'll get you back to a meeting at some point. Yeah. Or, you know, we've got a couple of minutes right now. Do you have a minute right now? Yeah. What are you, what account is doing it? Is there a lot of action going on? There's just a lot of time, or... A lot of talk, a lot of like dreaming and making lists and talking to citizens. I'm going to a Northfield public forum tomorrow night that they're having, you know, like a citizens public meeting. But the message we're sending right now is you don't need to take action right away. It would be, you know, it would, it would be who of towns I think to kind of make a list and go through like the project prioritization, you know, process really methodically because you don't have to have funds obligated until 2024. And there's also a lot of state money that's kind of coming out in drips and drabs. A&R, Agency of Natural Resources put out some information about what they're going to be doing with their ARPA funding. So I think my general message would be, you know, no rush, you can be methodical, talk to the town, you know, look at your town plan, look at other, you know, lists of projects that haven't been able to be funded in the past and see if they line up with the ARPA categories or any potential state funding. And that's what I can help with too. Perfect, great. I'm sure we'll need that resource at some point. Yeah, sounds good. Right. Well, thanks for jumping on. I'm sorry about the little glitch. No problem. Everything straightened out. And I think everything's worked fine. So any other questions for Grace before she, she wants to stay out all night and she'll be meeting her. But I doubt it, but it's not Grace. Thank you very much. We appreciate your time. Yeah, thanks. Have a good night. Thank you, like you too. Yes. Robert is in the meeting. Robert is in the meeting. And we'll have to go back to him. He's in the meeting. He's in the meeting. He's in the meeting. Oh, it's pretty close. Put her in. Are you staying for this next thing? Oh, I'm just doing that. I just do one more update to Stefan and bring back to the team as we're at. Sure. So just on the lighting, so we're on electric. Because he's just been communicated with them. And I also asked him to send his final email puzzle to be the same as what we've gotten. It's first, the answer to the RFP. But he's just confirming with the company that he's getting in front of the air availability and to make sure that the lighting is going to be more efficient. And I said, well, efficiency, one has also checked it out for what you suggested and stuff. So anyways, it's just in that little sort of check it out thing. But just to pass it on, we're talking about the beginning of November, the beginning of November. We're actually talking about today, but we're going to have to wait for the snowy and save the year and want our trucks outside. It's typically on that kind of thing. I don't know. But he's planning on hopefully the end of November. And he'll build me a texture, I'll build me a texture array or whatever, so before they're getting in there with the lights and I'm sure they'll be happy to have the lights. Yes. OK, that's it. All right, so what time do we have? 6.45, all right. So we have the public meeting for the B-Trans alternative grant for more town sidewalks still being studied. So we can do that simultaneously as we're talking about our step-on budget discussions. The scoping grant is for a study on the other side of on Route 2 from Gallivary Acres about lights. Looking to see if there's a good reason to put in the sidewalk there. So this is a step, a great step forward. And it's happened fairly quick, I thought. But when we were usually talking about this a few months ago, wanting to do something with sidewalks on that side. So that will be ongoing. So we just, part of that, we need to have a public forum to see if there's anything interesting. So here it is. And pretty long, it's online, you can check, but otherwise. I'm interested. No comments from you on the sidewalk step-on? I think that because we're looking into it and I'll be interested to see. But a maintenance plan to do a little odd, we might have to contract out as far as maintenance on that. Just something to think about with that. Yeah, no, that would be, as we're looking, that's a good thing. I don't think anyone else will forget that. That would be one of the things we're coming about when we're doing it. But yeah, it wouldn't make sense to have you head over on the John Deere to get on there. Yeah, it's the whole day to get there. So, all right, so why don't we go ahead? We have a guest at 7. So, fire department budget step-on has sent his stuff at all costs, so step-on, you wanna share where you've changed things a little bit? Yep, so the stipend amount for the guy was 1500 last year. I brought it up to 3,000. I was able to find a good idea of the guys who were working on doing sort of like a awards set up at the end of the year. Everybody gets something, but also, the most improved firefighter of the year will get something special, like a mug or a jacket or something saying, most improved. Trying to reward the volunteers for the effort they put in. Right, so I think there's $1,500 there last year. And I think 500 of that is what we spend on your gift to you. So there was 1,000 for the rest of the group, right? And so that 3,500 stipend that we give to you as a fire chief and then another 1,500 for special awards and such. Or I guess we could split that up a little differently if we decided to give you more, if I consider it or whatever. Any questions to step on on the stipend? Dispatch and service to step on. I added to that. I know it's gonna go up as small percentage of this year. They haven't completely ran out there, they're full numbers, so I figured it was, I know what's going on, so I brought it up to them. I don't know if that's gonna be an exact match of what we're looking at. Yeah, that's, it seems, if they're going up, doesn't seem to be very much of an increase to me, but. Right, and I don't know with them yet, there's nothing to. All right, well, we're not finalizing this budget for the one that should keep the track of that if you could and touch base with them to see if they have any final numbers there. Yeah, and look, you know, I was looking at the telephone and it looks like, you know, a hundred bucks would be sufficient for next year, you know, so when there's no big increase to supply, cost goes up, you know, added a little there. Do you know where we're at with the share on that? On supplies, does that mean you double them? I mean, I think, I think we're already, is there about 500 or near it? I can't, I don't have it right in front of me, but that was certainly something to look into. Yeah, that's all right. And the radio and repair, I know I'm at like 1600 this year, and it was at 500 last year, so I've gone over immensely. So I'm trying to bring that up and we'll actually reflect the kind of money we're spending on radio repairs. Has that been tracking like that or was that just last year that it was 2000? It's been tracking that way. Often I've been trying to buy a radio a year kind of thing, just so there's not a large purchase. And we have to find a radio for a truck as well as a portable radio for a truck, prepped out after I bought the portable. So then that's where it came up to that and having a program. So did you, so you purchased new radios with that one? Yeah, because the one that stopped working would have cost more than the freshman new radio to send it back to Kenwood and have them take care of it. No, I'm okay with that. What I'm wondering whether you try to distinguish, all right, this is what we'll constantly lose out on the pairs here, but let's put a thousand maybe into expenses there instead. So we know, all right, we're actually buying a new radio. So we just sort of accurately reflect so what we're doing with that money is, otherwise I think you're maintaining it for $2,000. And so do you think, how much do you think you can spend on the new radio or if that's what you have allocated in there? Right, it's, the running between $100 and $1,000 is kind of the go-to as far as it goes for one radio and then obviously keep money in there because they break the battery goes to crap on them. I bought a couple of batteries this year for them. So why don't we just switch that around, put $2,000 into supplies and expenses. So we'll switch it back to exactly how it was before and have the 500, yeah, exactly. That's what you'd expect. Yeah, I probably, this probably had this conversation last year and I switched it around but that makes sense. So we'll leave it out with the same number just so it reflects better what we're doing. Yep. And then we have the next page. And then the final incentive, I dropped from the 300 to the 500, the never ending battle of the fire. The thing is, you had a two wildland fire in town last year burning approximately nine tenths of an acre, both of them together, which doesn't seem like much but when you're fighting in the wind blowing stuff, it is, and it's, you know, everybody's been asking for permits and working with that. And I dealt some with some illegal burning this year and I figured it made sense to bring it up with the rest of the mass addition. I agree with it. And the only other big thing is this year we made the last payment on our 1996 bumper. So that's $16,000 that isn't in my budget next year. That's great. So I'm going to go down immensely. There's a caveat for that. Oh. We have a free SDBA that last year we talked about getting a three year for the next three years. So that's coming up. And I'm not sure if you want this to be in the budget or if you want to do this part of it. So I haven't done anything really with it yet. Let's figure that, let's think about that and we'll go on and talk about that. You haven't got it. We still have time so long. Oh, you know, that's what we need to figure that out in order to get to the budget and I know. Yep. What's the cost of those again? That's a big fall. I think it was like $22,000 last year. And I don't have the three of them. And I don't know what the prices are again, yet I was writing and, you know, it's still early. Ballpark, yeah. Ballpark, $25,000, all of that before the intent. Yeah. All right, Stephon, anything else here? Yes. We've been in discussion for a few years about a banker for the fire department. I know it's on a five-year plan. I don't know where it necessarily sits there, but I'm putting the bug in the year. Last year when I quoted it out for the AFD FEMA grant, the AFD FEMA grant was $350,000. And I don't know if the price of trucks has gone up, like I think it might have, but we're not. And that'll certainly weigh into it. So that's going to be a big dollar purchase. It's something that we really consider moving forward. So what I will say is it's a, you know, a 15, 20-year truck, and we could potentially get a little help for a longer term of time to help keep the cost yearly down. Is there like a surplus, or like a lot of towns, like in your larger cities, here that these trucks, and they're not necessarily worn out at the time they were built? Right, I've looked some of this, you know, we get a fire trigger right in the name, you know, it's like the old magazines that have the fire trucks listed in them. And I'm certainly not against, you know, looking in that aspect, but they're still high dollars. And you're getting used to, you don't necessarily know what happened before. I'm certainly willing to look into it. No warranty or anything, depending on what the dealer is with that, you know, what kind of deal you have in broker or set. And then, so then there's certainly that aspect. How many gallons of paint is it that you're looking for? So we're looking for 2,000 gallons, because 2,000 gallons is the largest that you do on a single axle truck. And we don't want to hand them, trying to get into the people's small driveways. It's pretty difficult. And if it's a 200 gallons more than a permit, so it's, you know, it's certainly, you know, 20 gallons, it's 20 gallons. I know it doesn't seem like much, but it can be helpful. Yeah. And, you know, the truck that we have with them, good to us, but it's less than much people that can drive at it, much less uncomfortable than the standard shift with the old school flipper. But it's certainly a path to say the least. I think I will drive or... So our current one is not, which is, I mean, we make it work, but it's not the greatest time to get any new places. So the 350,000 that we're pulling up last year is including making it all over. Because we have an engine that's all over and it's improving the new prices as far as getting into these places. If you're gonna have an engine, you should have a tank. Thank you. You can get there too. You can kind of work together. Exactly, exactly. One's worthless without the other. Yeah. And in fact, Northfield is the delivery of literally the truck I was backing out that would make sense for the future of the moment. And I got the chance to go over and take a look at it here. It makes a lot of sense. Well, I... How did... You don't think that ran funding on that or did it just... You're not thinking. You said, hey, let's spend Norwich money on the other ones. Yeah, they have... They have more infrastructure and more business. And the college gives them probably fair amount of money to do those types of things. Right. And there's a fairly large business like that. Right, they can help out. Something today, you know, it's... I always hate bringing it up. It's such a... Well, it's a specific... A dollar I don't know that we're getting to a definite need. The existing trucks in 1988, older than I am. Not that it says much, but it's older than I am. So does I am. It's a... You know, I can drive standard on my CDL and I don't like it. It drives me right over. Yeah, not too many. Long time ago, we were challenged to do that. And I have a lot of younger guys that they can do it, but it's, you know, you start getting on snow and stuff like that. Sure. All right, well, that's I think something we need to and take up with the finance committee as well. We've been working on a lot in the long term, but I should be able to tackle and figure that out. Because I think that machinery and pieces will have a brayer at some point in the next five years, probably a loader or a tractor. So, yeah, so we need to... What do you think the life of this tanker that we have that was here or two or three left in it or what? It could last forever. I don't know. It could die tomorrow. Yeah. I will say that for a while when fires this year, that truck was jumping into the water and started pouring diesel fuel underneath it. So we had to turn off and, you know, we get it pulled out of the way, turned it off. We started it back up, got it back. And what it ended up being is there's rubber grommets for the engine and a dry rod because the truck hadn't been driven as much as it had in the past. So those dry rod and then they were really swelled back up. We've since changed them out. It was 10 minutes, it took some time to do it. But yeah, it's one of those things that was a realization for me that this should happen. In that specific case, it worked out, you know, we had enough water on the site, we're putting it away. But... Two to four years, we need to get something done about the women in that time period, I would say. And I believe that the tank on that is a poly tank and there was some interest that the highway department had used it as a chloride neutral to the rest of this life. So it's not necessarily just going to go down the road just to train them how they want it to be. Here. Right. But it's an option just that I know not the greatest option, you know, but I don't think we'll make very much. Honestly, it would be something we could do perfectly. Sure. All right, we have nothing more. Oh, what's wrong? We're not seeing it. So we've been having trouble with the primer with trying the water to the tank on our end one. And it's to the point now where it won't grasp water so it's basically gonna use this piece of equipment at the current time. I have a couple of requests out for close. I've only gotten one back and it was the 1,202. And I still have the money in my budget this year to cover that, but I wasn't sure before I wanted to go into, you know, significant money. Yeah. Well, that's what we need to fight fires with, isn't it? Yeah. Where they can get the money in the budget, especially if that's not the search end. Okay. I appreciate that. That's what it means to me. And then this is a small thing. When efficiency Vermont came to the fire department, they talked about smart firms that set up so that we could, number one, keep the temperature lower when we're not gonna be there. And also it keeps track. So there's not a lot of people there. So in the middle of winter, freezing middle of the night, and the heat goes out and we'll say, hey, you know, it's getting cold in here. And I wasn't sure how you wanted to do that. Cause I still have some money for the building and it's this year, but I don't know if there'll be enough to cover it or why don't you check in and see what that would be. And you can, I'll have Sasha check with the officials and guys, maybe they'll be able to get a rebate on that. That's what I was wondering. I wonder if you can also see it from there. And I guess I'd like to get that, especially with winter coming in. It's a great idea to have. Nope. Good stuff. And sorry, I checked so long. I know that was long winded. So would that be a Calypso or would they do that talk? I don't know if they installed it or if it's just, you know, something simple wearing out what we need ran, you just not the thing. I don't know exactly how all that works. All right. Well, Stefan, we appreciate you bringing the budget so quickly. We're getting this done. We need to get back to you on the, the back to you on the, to class. And then, you know, the budget committee with the truck stuff. Yeah. See where they're going with that. Um, we do it there. Um, we have Mr. Turner here. Um, and I've been asked to stay with me and him. So great. All right. Very good. So, uh, Robert, are you there? I am. How am I coming through? You're loud and clear. Great. You're welcome to turn on your video if you want to be seen. That would be. I'm gonna, I'm gonna stay anonymous on that score. All right. I wish I could do the same. So, um, thanks for joining us tonight. And it's been a while since we started this process, but what do you guys want to share with us tonight? So what can you share? Well, I can share with you that based on the proposal that I submitted back in January of 2020, and that proposal was designed to, um, to, um, start the process of developing a data capture and reporting system for the town road crews, hourly activities. And, um, I'd say at this point, we're probably 90% through with the work that I had proposed. And what that means is, um, I've created and delivered a database system that allows the town road crew to enter their time to track the hours worked on any piece of equipment to add materials used for any project, whether that be strictly town use or what's become evident in this process that grant reporting is more and more important. So basically this system is, I would say in a late beta stage, we've gotten both Stefan and Martin to enter some data, made a few revisions based on their feedback. I've talked to Sasha and Sherilyn about the reporting. Um, I feel like things are going pretty well. The original scope was kept fairly narrow because there were plenty of uncertainties at that point. Um, again, I think we're at the point where, once the crew is comfortable entering data, we can eliminate most paper records should we choose to and just go with this digital reporting. Uh, we're not quite there yet because I think we're still at the level of ensuring people are comfortable with that whole process. So we're doing, we're doing a little testing, I guess, of the database, but essentially things are going pretty smoothly on that. So, you know, as is common in many of these projects, as soon as things start going well, the users kind of ask about expanding the scope so we can get more things done, more value out of the whole system. And we've had those discussions. Basically that, that revolves around the idea that, you know, it seems likely that each of the town road crew will be entering their own hourly data, which is not a bad thought because it relieves one person of having to do all the data entry. So in order to do that, we really have to think about moving this system onto a server so that it can be accessed by all of the users. And my design will basically accommodate that, but as you can appreciate, I'm sure, when we get to that level, there are other considerations like, you know, security access and user accounts and all of those sorts of things that we'd want to include an IT person before we move to that step. But I think that's basically where we're at. And I can leave it there and let you ask some questions if you have any. Let me first step on. Why don't you go ahead and give your perspective? So I started using it just over a week ago. It seemed, you know, pretty straightforward and easy. Today I spent some time on the phone because there was a version update that we got figured out. And where I come from, part of the problem that we're running into is I have it on my personal laptop and we have it on the town garage's computer. Yes, my information, I have to find a way now to get it to Martin for him to look at that he has to send it, you know, to the girls. And so it's... So that's why this is the first part. Yes, yeah. I'm getting this interface on to a server which I think would be, you know, a great way to go about it. And it seems to be working good and he talked me through how to make list changes. If I want to add a material or add a vehicle or any of that, I now know how to do that. Sure, and it's, I think it's getting usable now. We just, there's some definite infrastructure upgrade that'll have to happen. One of those is gonna be getting it so that we can all enter our data. I think it's equally as quick as paperwork, like as doing the paper copy. If we all have some way to enter that. My idea, and we have a little work to figure out, Robert and I, but they have like a windows tablet. Might be a good option for inputting the data. Because that'll make it a lot easier than one computer everybody's trying to use at the end of the day before they go home kind of thing. You know, and if you had someone like that, you could have them in the truck. Exactly, so as we're doing it, we could input it. So we're not trying to figure out at the end of the day what we did for 20 minutes in the middle of the day or anything like that. All right, then they can track you with that all the time too, so we know where you're at. I mean, I theoretically, I think that's probably easy enough to do, but you have to get cellular data for that on it. But theoretically, we couldn't keep tracking it during the day and then only pull back into the shop and save it to the server, all right. Sasha, on your end, you guys are receiving this information. What do you think of what you're getting? It looks very good, it's filled with a few things that we saw in Adam, and it's there, it's just, he's got a few things. Right, but it seems like it's something to ensure and then we all could use for the... School, family, school, brand. The brand, everything like that, it's a matter of these guys being the only input. And that's the other great thing with the server center, they can go in then and there it is. Right. Or, oh, what was such and such doing two years ago on this day? Well, go into that server and that information is there. All right. So, Mr. Turner, what's the process to move forward some of these with interfacing and developing a little bit more to the system? Well, I think I'm a database programmer and this kind of application is pretty simple. When we start moving into the server, there are more complications and my level of familiarity with that piece isn't as great, but I don't know at this point whether the town has a server available because there are simple ways to do that. And then the other question would be does the town have an IT person that it works with regularly that might be able to support this transition to a server for the back end? And so I guess what I'm saying is I need to gather a little more data and then I could come back to the town with a proposal and possible strategies for moving in that direction. Okay, so you can chat with Sasha at some point and we do have an IT person who works with butternut systems like Ketchel is our systems and our IT work here. And so maybe we can have you guys touch base and see what you guys can work together on something like that. Yeah, that's certainly a first step. And then I would do that before presenting anything else to the town, so. Okay, so why don't we go ahead and you were at your earliest convenience contact Sasha and we should get you the information that you need and then put some proposals together for us at the same time working with Stefan the guys at the garage to finish up what we're doing and but with the thought that we would move forward with some kind of interface for everybody. Sounds great. And on that type of thing again now that we've met this kind of role in spending a couple of years seems like we've got some momentum that we can move forward as soon as possible on that that way we can even put some budget numbers this year and so if we're looking at laptops or something like that for the trucks, we won't have that. Understood. And I know budgeting season is right around the corner. It sure is. We're working on it now. So I appreciate your time. Thank you so much. And unless anyone has any questions we can move forward and you can get to your evening. Okay. Done. Well, so all right. Thank you, sir. Thank you. So long. Thank you. All right. We're just going to step on the sounds. Yeah. I was a little bit skeptical before today. I, you know, I got a chance to get him on the phone when we talked through it. He showed me how to make some changes to have some concerns. The road list was a, was an older list like Jacob's road in Brownfield. It comes up as Jacob's road even on the Brownfield road like Hoover and Lover's lane. So I was a little concerned about that. Like do we have to call him every time? I haven't, he showed me how to go into the lists and make changes as needed to make it make sense. So then in the future we can put in the road numbers that we have set up for all the roads in town. And so I think it's a usable thing now that I finally see the innards of it a little bit. I think everyone will have to be some trial and error with it. Yep. And I found a couple things that didn't work. Like I couldn't input, you know, the material. I couldn't figure out how to put in material. Well, he showed me just going to the list and you can form that and then it's in a dropdown box for the next guy. Sure. All right. But that's where it comes into getting it on a server. So I did that on my computer. So now I have to go to Mark's computer and do it completely separately from mine. And then all that data is kept in two different places. That's what a server, that'll be a huge step, a server or some way of outgoing. Right. I think prior to that happening, if you could, you seem you've got the administrative handle of this thing. I do. I seem to. Oh, well, if you could sit down in March with him and show him how to make those changes to add to the list or the sand or whatever you're adding or whatever you're doing, or it's good to show him. Yeah, absolutely. I know he has some idea about the list. Robert kind of showed him and I wasn't right there. But if you're working together on it, maybe so you make it sure that something's not getting really falling behind that could be. Yeah, I think it'll be, I think it will be, it's a little, you know, it's been rocky. And like today when we did the upgrade and I didn't actually build it for more of Mark's mission, I lost my data for the last week that I was doing, but I have it on paper. So I can, I can re-input that data for when kind of, you know, do another attempt to send it off to the office. You know, fairly quick, but it definitely, it's a little rocky, but we've made immense progress in the last, I'd say a week and a half. Good. We'll keep working on it. I think you're at the end of the day, you know, or the year, it'll be a lot easier. And then you guys will have a lot more information at hand. So when you're doing things again, you can say, oh, we needed, you know, some of the hours to do that job here. Right. And as far as that, you don't necessarily have one of the trucks, like, you know, we're filling up with sand at the end of the night, where you put the next guy in front of us and fill up with sand. All right. Now, the opportunity, you can go in and get most of that stuff all filled out. So get out of the truck at the end of the night and try to figure that out. No, you can probably be more efficient under your day. Exactly. I think it would be great in all aspects, for bookkeeping, for us inputting the data, for going through and figuring out which coverage we're taking, when, potentially, it would be a new list, but we can get there. Correct. You know, he would need to work on it to get, you know, that. No, I think it's going to, quite frankly, it would be accountability more for you guys. So I mean, that's good on our, you know, not that we're going to micromanage people, but, you know, it's nice to know, all right, these, you know, people ask, what are they doing? Well, I mean, click with, you know, one thing. Well, yesterday they were doing that. Right. Right. Well, yeah, also it would be able to look back and see historically what happened on certain road and like, well, we can't keep texting us like this, you know, say, you know, let's do this. Right. And if we do, you know, with the server, if we do a cloud backup every year, every six months or months or whatever, we've got to prevent a super tornado coming through this building. We haven't lost all of our data. Right, yeah. There's still some sort of data there. We need more than once a week or a year. Well, yeah, yeah, well, I guess I'm just going to cut it. It's a year, I don't know. Right. The probability of it going to crap is slim, but you're right. All right. Well, that's good stuff. Technology is moving forward. Yeah, that's right. So we have some moving, I guess. So you're doing this data entry every day? Every day, I am, but you know, I'm still doing my normal paper seats as well. At the end of the day, it often is, if I don't get to it at the end of the day, I do it early the next morning. Okay. And just sometime within the next week or so, I want to go over there and take a look at that. Yeah, absolutely. Maybe I can have an idea. Yeah, absolutely. I do want to show that. I'll be in touch with you. Okay, perfect. Yeah, I think it's a good step forward. It's finally dropping grass. Yeah. We got to slow down there a little bit. Happens. All right, so if I want to move forward, I'll move to the red spot. Like, you can show me. I think that's all for me. All right, you won't be staying around. We've got reports, communications, and we're going to start over here with Sasha. Sasha, what do you have for us tonight? So it's the Envoys to Fill and Miss, the last meeting, around the weeks, the broadcast, your attention. And they're in this here? Yeah. Okay. I'm going to go ahead and give you a few minutes, follow up on the website, one minute. Right. And I sent out an email to Franco at CDI for Ira Hatchman, and he got back to me. He said he wasn't going to have an answer before tonight's meeting. Okay, good. Thank you for following up on that. Is that it? John, what do you have for us? Okay. First thing is on the hearing on Thursday, I have not heard back from St. Patrick's, but it's pretty clear that that pipe, the outflow pipe is going to be on the property of St. Patrick's. It does not look like it's on Holland's ground. I know that Holland was expecting to attend on Thursday and regularly there to. And so I'll just say, I haven't seen it be any problem with St. Patrick's in that before. It just took a lot of work to get to the right people and so on, but I think I have the right contact with him. So I'm going to get to see him there. And I wanted to check and see about cutting down the black cherry tree that's right at the end of the school street here. And it's right on the property line, I guess, between Eugene and the town. And Martin does not feel comfortable with all the wires and everything taking it down. And it is on its way out. Sooner or later, it's going to start dropping in big sections of it, so we don't want that to happen. So anyway, I guess I'll just put out for a minute. And I'll take that to anything. And let's see. Oh, I spoke with Michael Brown. He's among being with the Lester. He's a forester. So he would be delighted to help out with the forest management plan up back here. And so he wouldn't be able to do much on it before he said late winter, January, February, maybe a little bit later. So I think that fits all right with our timeframe. And so it's just a matter of assembling the other people that would be on that committee. And now, since we're also doing this public meeting for VTrans, I reread all the emails between Joyce and us and all the various people the state and everything. And I was wondering about the village if we're going to move forward on anything there. Now, my understanding is that the barracks said that they might have one of those moveable stations. So can we look into that? Yeah. So it would be better than it sounds like we'd have to go through quite a bit to move the permanent. To pull on like that? Yeah, right. Down by the effort. Right, yeah. So I think that would be ideal if we could get one of those. And oh, also on the scoping study, they've brought some numbers, like across like 40,000 to do a full scoping study for the Gallagher acres or for the Northmoretown sidewalk. And so I'm just wondering about if that's the case. And if so, would the grant cover that? Or would that be? Could I put the man in so we can further? Yeah, the alternative plan. OK, I'll turn it to you. I'm sure before we move forward with anything, we'll make sure that's the case. But I would think it would. Yeah, I should think so. It has been the past. It has been the past. I believe you have found the other side of it, so. OK. I would think that along the same line. Yeah, OK, that's good. All right, that's all I have. Thank you, John. OK. Great. Just had a head-to-head meeting with Suzanne Smith over on the Smith, right? Suzanne Smith on Northmoretown Common Road. She was having that problem with her lawn. Martin and I met with her last Friday. And we don't believe it's a town problem. I think she has an extreme problem in her lawn. And what I was going to do is I says, I'll send you an email tomorrow that you can send to her. Because after we talked to her, Martin and I looked at it. She's got a broken foot, so she wasn't able to walk around. But Martin and I did. And right in the middle of that bad section of lawn, it's really, really wet. And it's quite a way out the road. So we're pretty sure there's a spring in there that's a problem. So and we kind of hinted towards that when we talked to her. So this will not be a surprise for Martin. OK, well, thanks for taking the time to get up there. Let's see what we've got. Don, what do you have for us tonight? Well, this would be, I don't know if we do this in old business or reports to the community. I could just update him. I mean, I don't have any follow up or anything. I could just tell you, we had an event at the town hall yesterday to engage the community and show people what we'd come up with. Probably had about 20 or so attendees. And of course, it was the five committee people that were there. We're going to be doing it virtually Thursday night. It's sort of the same presentation, but we marked out on the floor some of the different possibilities with stuff that we found out from the study of the engineer on white safety and ADA codes and then how, you know, basically could be utilized and how the first floor could be utilized. And they've got a lot of input. We had people similar to what we did at Morfess indicate what kind of things they wanted to see there. So we're coordinating that now. And then after the virtual presentation Thursday, then we're going to meet again next week from this Thursday on the 28th to review the next steps and procedures of when the committee would come to the select board and share with you what we've found out. So are you getting a variety of people, not just the same people? Oh, yeah, it was. It was a pretty good news. It was all Avers. It was pretty diverse, yeah. Good. All right, that's what we're looking for. Well, I don't know if it would be something and I was just going to bring something up. That's kind of new. So I don't know if that would go in the new business. That would. It's all new. OK, that's good. Kelly, how about you? Do you have anything to force communications? Nothing. Nothing. So stuff that we knew, I guess, for me. Oh, you're just playing out. I don't think they have anything that's we have some new business as well and some budget stuff I want to talk about. But so that's all there are announcements. But we do have the select board minutes. We can go ahead. That's what I'm saying. I don't people want to make a motion approve the minutes of 10 for second for discussion. None. All in favor of all right. All right. All business. Did you have anything or you said just new business things? Yeah, no. John, nothing old. Nothing else. All right, Sasha, nothing for you. Nothing that we haven't looked at below. All right. I guess I'm good. I guess my new business. I'll start with you. Well, I was just wondering if I wanted to just ask or think to see what people thought of if the or if this is already happening, but a way that with with with all the various committees in our town, if there's a way that we could you know, have a way that we could communicate to those either the chairperson or the people around the committees that so if something was going on like, you know, let's say this town of all meaning that I could you could send something out. Whatever committee was doing something and they wanted to let all the, you know, at least in that circle of people who are involved with town, if there was a way, you know, to communicate with some kind of email. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, you know, maybe other people would want to be on it as well, rather than like, oh, just look at that front porch form or look at the website. If there was a way that people wanted to be notified about something, I just I don't know what that will look like, but just something for us to think about. Yeah, I think that's a good idea. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's kind of what you could shoot out on a newsletter or whatever happened to be. Yeah, we had certain announcement just and that's about to the I think, Sasha, maybe that's something that you can think about. You know, all the communities I think that we have. Then all all their contact information. Anyways, you know, maybe we could have a site on the website where there's links to the committees. So if you wanted to send with that work, I wasn't checking like I went to the website because I was maybe I could reach out to all the chairs and send them this thing that I had an attachment saying about the kind of hall thing and when they went there, you know, of course, maybe it's just, you know, what their emails weren't there. But then again, maybe they someone doesn't want their email check with that. But I think most people are doing this kind of a public email. Yeah, I'll set it up so that you don't see everyone's email. So it'll go and it'll say like, like I'll get emails all the time and they'll say my name. But yeah, that's how they do it. Right. That's all they say. All right. So spare time to think about that. And anyone has any ideas? Maybe John, Sarah, this is what I'm trying to accomplish. Yeah. There's got to be a way and then we can even talk to our IT guy. How do we best make this list so that you can make it easy because it's nothing worse than having to start searching out and putting together. I mean, let's hear a way that we can query them. You know, you just start, I want all, they can't be that hard with what technology we have. Yeah. I mean, something comes up, you have a board meeting and we go, oh, it would be good to just get this out to have people thinking about this. Being involved in this or something. Yeah. That's good. I think my business really, it's about the budget stuff. I could talk to Stefan earlier this week. We were just talking about general pay and, you know, what the guys are doing. And so I think it's a good idea maybe that during this budget season, Ray and I would sit down and talk to the garage and the ladies here and I think we need to reevaluate where we are with our pay based on what's happening with the economy and the employees that we have and want to make sure we retain them. So I think we need to look at everyone, see where we have and we're really doing 2%, I think is what we've been doing pretty much, but maybe time and I know two or three years ago we didn't adjust and we really need to do that again. And there'll be some, you know, we'll just have to figure out where the water, where it levels out. But I think everyone's probably do a raise, you know. Instead of doing like a 2% increase, would it make sense to do like a flat rate across the board? Like every year there's, you know, 50 cents or 75 cents in there. Because if you look at 2%, 2% of someone who's been there for a while who's making more, it's going to be a lot different than one end. So instead of trying to group everyone and get everyone maybe a little bit closer together, each year that 2% the gap is getting bigger and bigger and bigger. So then your person who's still in essence making closer to the bottom is not really ever catching up to that. But if you did more of like a flat rate every year then that difference is kind of lessons in between. Right, I mean, I'm not, I think we can look at that but what I'm thinking is is more of a just an increase, you know, a drop performance increase type of thing at this point. But I think we can look into our annual increases where we do 2%, we have that, all right, does it make sense to do a flat, what you're saying? And I think there's arguments both raise on that. And we can look into it, there's, you know, you get more when you learn more but there's reasons why you're there and learning more, you know, you have more responsibilities. You do more things and personally I'm not, I'm always, I don't always think you have to make it the same to be fair, you know, fair is, doesn't always mean it's always equal in my mind but we can all talk about that. And, but, because I don't ever think the guy that's, I mean, I don't think ever that Stefan is going to be making what Martin was saying. That gap should not, there's always going to be a gap there because there's different responsibilities. One thing with that gap is, you know, say this year we have 2% is 2%, 75% I was saying, my 2% is 15 cents. So then next year, his 2% of that 75 cents higher is a lot more than my 2% of my 15 cents higher. So the gap is, it's expanding. Yeah. And we were talking about it at the garage a little bit, you know, just in future ideas, we were thinking, you know, take the 2% of the guys and spread it, like whatever Martin said, my 2% of the time, and whatever that mean number is. Right, divide that by the four, right? Take your 75, take your 50, his 75, his 65, and his 35, add them together and then divide it. Like 24 cents or something. But then, yeah, I mean, I think. I do agree with what you're saying too, it's, you know. It's not necessarily, you know, right, I mean, so someone has been here 20 years and working and why should I, on an annual basis, why should I still get the same raises junior who's been here two years? Right. Really? You know, I've been here 25 years and- And all you appreciate me still want to get the same. Same as him. Yeah, right, right, right. So people aren't gonna, you know, you guys maybe a little bit different breed because we all seem to want the same. Even Martin doesn't want anything more than, but if you have different responsibilities, I mean, that's those are the things. But I mean, I'm certainly open to talking about it with the board and with anyone, you know, whatever is the best. But my, my idea is just to first go in and look at everyone's, what they're making today and say, all right, we need to move you up. And we may say all where we want to do the same across the board. And this is these cases, that's where I more, all right, let's do the same across the board rather than to try to get Steph on, you know, money to close that gap between him and Martin. Because that's not fair to Martin. So what we've done in the past, like looking at other times, seeing where they are, seeing where we are. I think we could do that. I mean, it's not going to hurt, but I want to make sure that, you know, we're coming to your advice, what we think they're worth, some other counts of what they're worth. But if I don't want to be under other counts, I'm more, you know, very much on it now. Every day they're sending us higher and higher and higher and higher. Yeah. It's awful in relation to what we do. Yeah. And I think we should reach out and I would like to see the same for office positions as well as, you know, everyone within the area here. Because I think that gives us a little bit, we're on a lot of different sides. I mean, there's, I think it's really a little bit smaller and some bigger than others, but regional area is if anyone's going anywhere, then I know that far. So let's figure out where our competitors are paying. Now, I think at the end of a couple of years ago, we ended up being on the top side of like after we did everybody. So we just want to make sure that we are continuing to pay top wages along with the great benefits that we have and we'll continue to get good people to work for us. Some of the people that you're working for. You? Yeah. I hope so. He says the rate. I was always told the other news, but you know, I don't think there's been a change in the rate. No, it was the last time I was on it. It was a while back. We went from 450 that, well, originally when I first was on the chair got 550 and everybody else got 450. And then I said, I didn't know that was 33 years ago. So at that point, I didn't think that the chair would be paid for it. So we kept it to 450. And then a couple of years after that, we decided the rate was the five. I don't, I think it's probably been there since the early 90s. I think so. I was on the board with you. Yeah. You know, and that's one thing that we talk about with the diversity on the board too. If it, you know, there was more money here, you probably haven't a lot of people that could, I would say, all right, you know, for, I don't know, this is again, it's a volunteer position, but then the times you pay a lot of other people that do a lot of volunteer tech things, pretty good money here. And I'd say this board puts in more time than probably most. Yeah, not just these things. Oh, this is the quick and easy stuff in my mind. Right. I mean, you look at those email lists that I do things that we get from, I mean, you could take it, you know, an hour a day to read the string of emails to, if you want, and I think you really need to. Otherwise, you can't come here and be involved in conversation, you know what's going on. You can't every day. I mean, I don't, I don't save it for a different, and then sometimes you do scan and do this and that, but it's a fair amount of time that we're taking calls or like Friday, for instance, there was, or other meetings of people are doing, you're running that thing with John, he's been putting in a ton, a ton of time. Yeah. I mean, I'm going to the, for this stuff, I mean, he called me last Thursday, Friday, but I just, again, I was busy and I had other, we just seem to be able to pick up different things here. That's good. You're on the board as people pick up, you know, whether it's taking calls from this or that, but yeah, there's a fair amount of, yeah, effort. So I mean, that's something you can look at and see when, you know, what other towns do, and maybe even even VLCT. What? Why? Why? I'm on August 15th here. Well, she's in Duxbury, right? I remember, I remember, I was on a bus for three days. No, I thought it was five days. I think they have five days. Yeah. I think they have seven days, I'm sure. I wouldn't say I'm 100%, but I'm good at 90. Yeah. So yeah, 1500, 2000 a year, I don't know what you mean. Question book. If he says stuff on it. Yeah, exactly. We all started driving new vehicles and such. So I just want to put that out there. I'd like, so maybe Ray and you and I can talk. I know you wanted to get to meet with him on the software, maybe you could do that, or I'd like to see that as well. And then just talk to you guys a little bit. I talked to Stefan, we're not good at all any type of reviews really. I mean, we're just not great for our employees. I mean, we try to give you feedback and we can, but maybe you just sit down and just be kind of make sure that everyone's the same page. I used to be able to stop him more, but I haven't been so busy, I haven't been with COVID. You just, you know, so I was more in tune to everyone on a daily basis, you know, I just drive by and get rid of there and things hasn't burned down, because I've been at this working so, but we were lucky that we have good employees. We had down at the barge and, you know, you're in this building, that people that show up in the day and do a good job. So, thank you guys for everything you do. So, that's all I have to do business. One other item, and since our next meeting is the eve of the election, and I know that Tori Smith has reached out, I think to all of us, if you're taking any position, anything you want to talk about before we vote. I guess, you know, we could have asked our reps to come in some point. Yeah, I think Monday night is the next meeting is. Yeah. Yeah. So, what is, what was everyone thinking? Is everyone have opportunities to read through the bond proposals? Well, I think 60 million, is it 60 million? You're asking for? Yeah. That sounds right. Yeah. So, that's a lot. I heard somewhere it's an 11% increase. Yeah. Yeah. That's a lot. Yeah. You know, it is. And Tori Smith gave the example that if your house is $350,000 house, you're only going to look at an increase of $500 in your taxes. Yeah, that's a lot. I don't know if it's income. That's almost too trucking. Yeah. Yeah. It really takes away from what as a town, what we can do, because now again, it's a whole issue, but throwing all this at the school. We want to do stuff as a town. Keep our account of the rate like they are employees. Yeah. Good salaries. And we can't do that and keep our tax rate. Exactly. A livable wage, you know, it's. Yes. I mean, you know, we're back to the same place we were. We're at two years ago. There are certain things that have to be done tomorrow. There's no doubt about it. They're out of compliance. And there's safe safety items. Yeah. Okay. Maybe they need a new gym. But it's not a safety item. So, I mean, I, my feeling is, you know, do it just like it has been all along. Do what we need to do to get things, you know, up to par and Howard. And then, you know, down the road, look at some of the other things. There's, there certainly needs to be upgrades to their facilities. You know, Jim, I don't know. I haven't spent much time in gym. One of the other things I saw was a proposal for track and such. That needs to be done. I find that, you know, they don't have a track up there. Yeah. There's a lot of infrastructure stuff. I don't know what, what is their exact. They're going to do with the administration part of the seventh grade used to be. I don't, I, I haven't seen anything about that. There really hasn't, I think the, where the, if in fact it goes through where the old middle school, that space, I think is going to be, you know, they're going to be expanding the high school to that space. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's what's going on. But I believe there is money in it for profit. Well, there's definitely money in it for profit. Okay. I don't think it takes off. This seems to me that it's still on the, on the agenda to take the fifth and sixth grade. It seems like that's down the road. Yeah. I think the, probably the main reason for that would be, would be space, space issue rather than expanding more time. We'll just shift the five and six up. Because we know that it's going to, it's going to be over. What more time. More time. All the kids are suffering and running more fast. Really. It's going to be over. I think people like more time. They move here because, because we are, we are. I think you're, I think there's a target on the fifth and sixth year. And I don't think that's all. I mean, there's lectures on here and there, but I think that's the ultimate goal is to, to move them out to. Yeah. Whether it's waste field or such a nursery where they would go. Yeah. It's funny. I haven't had a lot of people. Talk to me about it. No, I don't. You know, I would expect more. Discussion about it. How about. So I know. I want to say I'm not, I'm not a hundred percent positive, but I'm pretty sure that. Kristen's. Her and her husband purchased land right above us. So they're working on putting a camp in and Sean's been going up and talking to them. And I guess some of the feedback from what he heard, and they were talking about, was it cross at birth, the pods that they were looking at putting in. Are actually what they use to house prisoners. And. So are those temporary pods you're putting in? Yeah, they're movable. But that's in essence, the company that they're getting them, but they're getting them from that's what they advertise and for, is their. Right. Which. Yeah. Why have temporary space. Yeah. For kids where we already have permanent space. Right. Do the upgrades that you need because do they need a new gym? Yeah, maybe. Do they need a track? Yes. Does the building need work? Absolutely. But you have the space. Utilize it. Yeah, I. Really. I mean, because it's going to be a good high school and something that gets them out and be competitive. With. But $60 million is, is for this community, the size. And you're talking, you know, someone's tax bill going on three to $500. On average, I would say in our community, you know, you start looking at their endless, you know, especially after this reappraising, you know, the. Expensive homes are going to be in the 300,000 range. Yeah. And I mean, all your, your highway products, your gravels, your pipe, they're going out of sight. Yeah. And inflation has been on the railing. I mean, you know, things continue to rise. So, you know, everyone, um, look at it and use your conscience and, you know, try to. Read it and see it and make sure it makes sense. I guess. I don't know. I just, I just, I know that. So I said, I said, sorry. Has been asking for that. No, I think you're certainly. One, I've read it. I've been through it, but I'm just not familiar enough to. One way or another. You know, say. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I would advise them to read it very closely. And they look at the numbers. Because there are other numbers there to do a good job of that. I think as far as. You know, those scenarios is, you know, what your house. You know, If you're up, there's a. We're doing an informational meeting tonight too. Really good start at 630. So. They did have that. We did get the link for that today. So. Yeah, but that's a good. Thank you. Worthy. Yeah. If anyone needs their balance, if you contact. The office here and if you can be sent out. When will you continue to send those out? We're going up until the end of the week. Yeah. All right. So there's an opportunity for people to get them in the mail, send them back. We have to drop off right here. So. And full opportunity to vote. So we just have a few things to sign. So I just want to make sure that we're signing everything that we need to. And if. Thank you for giving us those checks. This year's check. But everyone. Remember to fill out their health care declaration. I want to start. That was my job. Cause I. You have a. Party. Apparently so. I have, I have no idea. I have no idea. I get told. Where to show up. It was. You're happy to have it back now. I show. I didn't have one. Well, there's only two. When you weren't looking. I was wondering. Look at that stuff. No, no, I kept looking over. When you're, you're. You may have seen the library budget proposal as well. Make sure you have that. We'll talk about that next time. I think we're all set. So I move to close the meeting. Second. All right. Thank you. We're going to shut down this. Thank you. I think this works. Much better this time. Recording stopped. The. The owl eyes are kind of. Yeah. That's kind of creepy. I will not be here at the next meeting. Slaying it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Deputy district attorney. What does she call me? She had two.
