 Good evening everyone, welcome to the regular schedule select board meeting for Monday, October 2nd, 2023. I'm Brad Town, with us also are to my left, Flo Smith and Joe Stahl, to my right, Tour Nelson, our town, select board member and the minister here. Additions of changes to the agenda tour. Public comment? So, I have some concerns with road conditions, both faith roads and dirt roads, from acquaintances as well as, you know, so an acquaintance hit the whole on the backside, well, on Scot Hill, did pretty good damage to her town. So that, actually, Mr. Chair, we're supposed to be in the public hearing at this point. Public hearing for water systems. Oh, my mistake. We'll get back to it. Public hearing for the water system ordinance revisions. Dom? So, there's a document in your packet, looking to make, there's two parts to it, but one, substance will change to the water system ordinance. First is to add a definition, under the definition section for fire protection capable capacity, and that is the ability of a public water system mitigating the unwanted effects of potentially destructive fires. And then in the ordinance itself, adding a section, section 20, adding a section of fire protection, basically says all new houses, commercial industry or other buildings used for human occupancy, business employment, et cetera. Or any major site plan or change of user requirements requested if they're within 200 feet of our public water system, they're expected to connect to the water system. If it's some type of a structure that would not be used for human occupancy, and they're within a thousand feet of the water system, they are expected to procure capability through the allocation of ERUs. Am I about saying that right, Tom? That is correct. And the select board reviewed this about a month ago now and opted to give consideration under this public hearing. And the public workforce board has also uprooted this as far as requests would be brought before the select board. Okay, any comment on this? Will the people who are building be responsible for paying for that hookup? From the main to their house. Yeah, from their house to the main. Yeah. Okay. And could you please state your name for the rest? My name is Jane Fallon. Thank you, Jim. Any other comments? Can I? I didn't know if this was going to be addressed at all. Articles two to three to repair and update the water and sewer today. Article two that's going to be voted on on November 7th. Do you have it? It wasn't under this ordinance, but it could be part of the public comment. Or we do have a bond vote warning amendment scheduled later on that would relate back to those two articles. Okay. Now is the meeting for that going to be November 6th, the day before voting? Correct. Is that the correct time to come? And that's going to be at the school, correct time? Correct. So basically that's the time to come and talk about this? Well, we can't tonight. I'm going to get to that point and agenda more than a happy to hear your thoughts. So yeah, if you don't mind sticking around. Okay. Any other comments on this? Any questions? I think a big comment is something to do with the ERU's Equivalent Residential Units. Thank you. Roughly equal to 250 gallons per day of disposable water. Anything else? Okay. Hearing nothing more, we'll close the public hearing for the water system ordinance revisions. And let's see here. Now we're back to public comment. Sorry about that. No problem. No problem. Okay. You're up. So yeah, so this is just to, you know, bring it to the board's attention. You know, the large, large pothole and acquaintance of mine hits that shows damage. You know, to attire. There has been posts on Front Porch Forum about, like I've seen specifically Muzzy Road. Haven't seen anything other than that. And from my perspective is the closure or the continued closure at this point of Payne Turnpike North regarding, you know, Fire Department emergency response. We have responders that potentially, you know, come that do live on that side of the closure. That, you know, in a volunteer department, as you all know, time is of the essence. And, you know, so in addition to the people that just live on that side for our responders, you know, it could also apply to any of us that, you know, attempt to, or would normally be able to utilize that way to get to the station, number one. Number two, in the case of, you know, an emergency call, which we have had several, you know, because of that closure, you're now forcing emergency vehicles into much heavier traffic roads, which are being forced that way because of that closure. So you're just, it's adding another level of risk and, you know, timely response to get to an emergency on that side. So, you know, I guess I'm just hoping that, you know, it can be revisited or discuss further that, you know, there's at least a temporary fix to that and not, you know, an 18-month delay or whatever like what happened on Fisher Road. That's all. Thank you. Any other public comment? Hearing none. Okay. Do I speak now or later? Go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead now. He'll sit around with you all. Okay. Yeah. I saw this thing on articles one through five that's going to be voted on. My question is, it says articles two and three, repair and update water and sewer. Do we have anything that is failing inspection? The problem with the sewer is over by the hospital. A bank has slid and has bellied the lawn. It hasn't ruptured yet, but it has, it's no longer a straight, gradual flow. It's got a sag in it because the dirt's pushed it down and that's where the problems lie on the sewer. The water, I'm not sure, the water I believe was to extend the line. Correct. Making a complete loop in the system. Yeah. So if a rupture occurred in the water, you can shut off on either side and still everyone else will have water just that short distance. Small. Okay. Now is that on the property of the hospital? Do they own the property? On the sewer line? Yeah. Tom? I think it's in the state, right? Yeah. And one of the problems there was as you go down the access where the hospital parking lot is at bank, the water has washed out underneath it and now the bank is sliding. So you have to get, did they take and say that was a stream? Correct. Correct. So now you have water resources has to approve any work or rivers and streams have to approve any work. And the ideal solution would be just put some stone in it, build it back up, fix the line, and hopefully it'll hold. Now if it's on the state right of way, is that something that the state should be taking care of rather than the town? Yeah, it's still town property. It's our line. It's a Tom sewer line. However, the state should be taking care of the bank, I think. All right. And if that fails, that line right there carries all of the sewage from up here. So you'd have a catastrophic failure rolling down the hill towards 302. And it's just be noted that how that's paid for is by the users of the sewer system. It's not the general population of the town. So the bond that would be, because it says the proposed plan involves issuing bonds to improve our water system. Now that wouldn't be the sewer. No. That's the finishing loop. The connected two ends of the pipes together so that if in that loop if something fails, everyone, all the other users will have water still. Whereas if right now, if it fails, you lose everything downstream from where the failure is. Those people go without water. And the loop is by the hospital as well? No, it comes down to Scott Hill Road. Do you know where our wells and the tanks are? Yeah, where exactly are they? They're up off of Scott Hill Road just off of Airport Road, which is called the Dodge Farm. If you're familiar with that area. So the way the system is now, the main comes down Airport Road. You know, past the airport, across Scott, a couple churches out that way, down around, you know, towards Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Berlin Health and Rehab. You know, covers up Granger and Industrial Lane in that area and shoots across Route 62 towards the mall and coals and all that area. With this loop, then when it comes out on Scott Hill Road, instead of going to Airport Road, we'll now extend in the other direction and tie it back around. So like right now, if a leak occurs on Airport Road, we'd have to shut off water to the whole system. To everybody, even though, you know, you're down by Northwood Savings Bank here off of Paintern Pike, even though you're way far away from the break itself, basically just one direction of the water, one poorly located break would take out the whole system. With this loop going down Scott Hill Road, we'd have some redundancy built in. We could cut off that section of the main that broke, but still be able to, you know, power the rest of the system. Now pretty much the people who are on sewer, that would be mostly businesses. This is water talking about. I mean water, excuse me, I meant water. The vast majority are commercial customers. Thank you. I'm sure after you leave, you'll probably think of a couple more, but like I said, we'll be back on November 6th if you stop in or give us a call anytime in between. Okay. And voting for the bond means we're responsible for it, even if the state, we don't get a penny from them. You vote the bond, in other words, if they don't pay anything towards it, we cover the whole cost, right? The bond gives us the authority to obtain the bonds. It's not a requirement that we actually go through with the bonds. It's just giving us the authority. If it looks like, you know, for whatever reason, you know, maybe construction costs go up a lot higher between now and then, or some of the reason that we fit this as a viable product, we're not committed to taking out that loan, you know, issuing those bonds. Okay. But again, on those two particular ones, it's the users of the water system and the sewer system who will pay the debt service on any loan that will be taken out. It's not the general populace in the town, that's correct. Okay, all righty. Okay, thank you. And thanks for coming. Thank you. Thank you. Anything else on the water system ordinance revisions? Is there a vote on that? Yes. Okay, entertain a motion. So moved. Second. Any further discussion on the water system ordinance revisions? Hearing none. Those in favor? Aye. Those opposed? Motion carries. July flood roads update. Darling Hill. So I've included in your packet, the hydrology, hydrology survey from Darling Road. You may remember at our last meeting, we'd authorized the purchase of a, we'd authorized the purchase of a culvert in about the $20,000 range. The AOT hydraulic survey came back and basically said that would not be sufficient. They're actually recommending a concrete box culvert with a span of 14 feet and a height of seven feet. I'll let Tim jump in. Yeah, so they want a concrete box that's 14 feet wide by seven foot high, I guess, for a stream that's two foot wide and three inches deep right now. That goes downstream to theirs at 11 by four. I don't know if there's any room for a rebuttal in that hydraulic study, but it sounds a little much to me. Well, the way this works with FEMA is we don't submit each and every road individually to FEMA. We group them together in groups of 10. What it would mean for this project is we would pull Darling Road out of the group that it's in. We can proceed with sufficient paperwork on those roads, submit it, hope to get paid. What we would do this as a separate project just like Richardson Road is a fully separate project and a zone. We had a site visit with FEMA last week, Tim, or the week before. They had four or five people out looking at Richardson Road to do the same thing, and they might have some other ideas as far as what we needed to fix it. We needed to go with this full-on covert so we could do something between them. Our recommendation is we go ahead with that site visit from FEMA and see what they say. There's no action to take tonight. It's just that we won't be purchasing that covert that we get authorized, and the timeline for Darling final repairs is going to be much longer than we initially expected. It's open now. It's got temporary repairs made. It's not going to be finished for a long time. Is there anything else you want? I'm sorry. I do believe FEMA will pay for the temporary fixes as well as the permanent fixes. Okay. Did you want to mention anything else about the... Richardson Road is going to be the same. I'm rolling back as far as that one by the trailer. They did a hydraulic study on that one. When I talked to Jaren a week ago, it was in process pending 30 days and then a review board, so it'll probably be close to November by the time we hear anything out of that one. But this one had been done for a while but they'd never sent it to us. I don't know why that got caught up. So that one on Junction Road is that north of Bartlett and before the bridge? Okay. Anything else on the updates? Plugging away. Grabbing and grading this week. That one was 12 hours a day. We have 36 loads of gravel today. Barely needed it anywhere. Like you said, we're on Darling Road right now. Finished up tomorrow. And then a few loads of gravel on Neil Road to fix that up and then working our way down Route 12 would be Chase Road by the end of the week, maybe. Muzzy by next week. We're doing what we can to four of us. Thank you. Are you short on trucks? I've got just four of us and I've got three trucks. Could you use four or five trucks? Is that the thing? Would that help the process? Are you sitting and waiting for trucks to return? No, because we're doing other stuff. I'm doing other stuff in between. I'm chasing other spots and polishing them up. But yeah. You know, we can definitely... I mean, I got a few phone calls out just looking for people. Any else on the roads update? If not, Town Highway Garage and Intergate Improvements? So during the site that we saw, it wants to move the two heating units and change out that wall. Did you get a chance to go out and look at cold storage? I did not, no. Okay. So when I went out there, there's almost like two sections of cold storage, right? That's the police department stuff. That's what I thought. A bunch of the police department stuff, which is probably outdated, unusable. I think you're... Tracers. What's that? Tracers? No. All blue lights. That's better. There's like old equipment out there. What do you mean we can't get rid of them? I stepped away from the department, so... Okay. So we ought to be asking about that because in the process of doing this reconstructive remodeling or whatnot, I think the cold storage currently is tires. But we also have a large amount of flammable about petroleum products. Hydraulic oil, whatever, whatever. You know, we could get that out of there as well and have some sort of control of that material. Is that oil new or used? No, it's all new. There's one drum that used oil and it hasn't been picked up yet. But that's taking up a lot of, right now, floor space and it's not really a controlled environment for that material. I think it would be a good place to put it. It would be out there in cold storage. Depending on what time of the year one wants to be, you know, pumping off hydraulic fluid, but... That's the whole point. The command door was just, we could go in and out and get our oil supplies out of there. We should be asking about that police equipment. It kind of reminds me of what Riverton used to look like. We stored a lot of old police equipment. Yeah, there's stacks of metal targets in there, like fires and radios. They throw their summers and winter tires in there. There might have been a few sets of tires that they use to keep some tires in there. Some desks. Yeah. Yeah, because what the original plan was was like, if we ever get rid of that tire pile behind the salt shed was one of the shipping containers around here, we were going to move behind the salt shed and that's where we were going to put most of the tires that are in that cold storage. There's a spare grader tire in there, a spare loader tire. There's some tires in there that we don't even use anymore that have just kind of hung on for the year over the years. And then like all our road closure signs, the bigger wooden ones on the easels are stored in there. So basically what we need to do is go to an inventory and figure out what to get rid of. Wow. Are you just sticking around for a while? Cool. Thank you for everything, Tom. Thank you. Thank you also, Tim, for having us over and giving a good explanation of what your thoughts are and overview. It's helpful. Yeah, just with that mall, it breaks it up a little bit and it's kind of like we lose a lot of space there that we could use. Give us a little more room to work and walk around in order to time and whatnot. So I'm near the loader. There was a large tote. Is that just water for the pressure washer? No. What is that? DF. Okay. Thank you, Tim. We'll get an alt so it's cheaper. We'll get that. Usually about where it's at right now we'll get down about a half a tote and pull over or something. Call them out and deliver it with a looks like an oil truck. Ten wheeler. And your diesel fuel. Where do you get that? The fuel for your equipment. Where do we get it? Do we have storage container out there? Do we pump our own? Yeah, there's a 1,000 gallon tank beside the salt shed. Used to be an underground and they did an above ground. It was the underground was I think it failed or it was failing because it was double walled and it was leaking. The first wall was leaking so it got removed. And their options, well the best option is you leave it above ground then you can it's having a problem or not. And I think there's you don't have to report to this state if it's an above ground. If you're having a blow ground take you have to report to the state and it's got to be dipped and tested monthly I believe. Do you have a containment vessel around the above ground? That one's double walled. So anything else? Anything else? Did we want to proceed on the proposed energy problems that were discussed? Other than moving the furnaces you can do the work yourself? Yeah, I don't think it means that much. I don't think we'll have much into it. Is that a weight bearing wall? No. They're full trusses that span See that used to be when I was little I remember going in there as a kid that back half was never heated until there was barn doors on that center section so they pulled the doors closed and that first half the small half was the only part that was heated. That was the part with the water and the bathroom and the office and whatnot. So that was the only part that was heated. The back half was either outdoor temperature or slightly warmer. So a motion on the improvements? I make the motion to move forward with the town highway garage and energy improvements as expressed to us this evening when we visited the town highway garage. Second. Any other discussion on this? Should we get an estimate on moving those motives? Two motives. Who do we have serviced them now? Gillespie's and Vincent Dr. Bobby Feltsch about doing it also. I can reach out to either one of them and see what they have for price and time. Is that going to be over? Ten grand. Okay. We're off the hook there. Okay. Yup. So do you want prices or do you just want to inquire somebody that's available? I would just get the best deal you can. Yeah. Absolutely. I'll find out who's cheaper and then we'll go with that one. Okay. So all in favor? All in. Those opposed? Motion carries. Thank you, Tim. Thank you. International Trade In-Low? So under packet is a quote from Regent's Trucks, Major Co., which used to be Clark's for the 2015 International we're looking to trade in. Their quote to bring it up to they said they were only accepted on trading if it would pass a DOT inspection and they'd be able to support $13.905 to bring it up there. Now I think there's I'm going to say fluff, but I'll call it fluff for lack of a better word in here. I mean they're charging us $640 to do any inspection that they're requiring themselves. There's a lot of diagnostic costs in here. They're charging $346 in tax which probably would not be taxable item. So I mean there's you know come down quite a bit from what they're quoting us here initially but my sense is instead of spending the money to get it into a condition that they're paying their top dollar for the labor and everything to bring it up to you know their so-called standard to accept it as a trade-in just get it back and put it out on the open market for the sale of bids and sell it for up to ourselves. When is the next state auction coming up? May of this year? May of next year? I mean I still want some notice to this and well the thing with this is the state auction is done by auctions international which is out of New York and you can take and advertise on you can put the equipment on there and they'll take and then you can tax the advertising for free. So talking with Craig a little bit Barry Towns has been doing it for a while now probably with sale in their shops instead of trading them in they seem to have a little bit better luck in getting a little bit more you know what I mean trade-in trade-ins what they're going to give you but they're going to mark it up when they turn around to sell it so he seemed to think that most of their trucks also go to the same guy that buys all the state trucks out of Maine running them up in the townships and logging camps and stuff I told Torres if this was the route that we chose I could talk with Barry Towns a little bit see what they do see who they go through or even if we find a direct line to the guy in Maine buys and sells all these trucks may be able to do that also they are going to fix it it's going to have like a 13 or $1,600 bill it means an ammonia sensor in the exhaust system over the death until the truck is in lip mode so when they fix that it will be drivable and we can bring it back here if this is what we choose to do well I mean the sensor that's what it's going to take to get the truck mobile much quicker there so what's the board's preference on the truck bring it back in private sailage what to go up there for begin with that sensor to be traded in to be traded in it died died in the end of spring pull it went into lip mode what's the approximate cost of the ammonia sensor they gave me a quote I think it was $1,600 that was part of the labor the sensor is like $700 for a thing that's no bigger than that cell phone in a box that dpf stuff is expensive so yeah it's had to be that sensor but it went we had it down in chaingrows in berry he was looking it over in down there because his labor rate's a lot cheaper than dealerships so and when the flood happened and it kind of got put on the back burner for a little bit and then now the other truck's ready to go so we we got it towed up there because they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it we got evans and so I had it towed up to allegiance and they put it on their computers and they came up with it and needed an ammonia sensor it's what ended up being the problem in part I'm inclined to have the work done on the ammonia sensor, get the truck back and then open it up for sealed bids and sell it privately I agree goes out as a motion in a second it sounded like a motion in a second to me any other discussion on this all those in favor aye motion carries it's the truck extended warranty with the 2023 this is the white truck that we affectionately call Betty White historically we've always gotten the extended warranty on the trucks we did not on this one when we bid those trucks everybody bid them without how much is the extended warranty about 19,000 it had all the seven years that's for seven years on the drive tree for the entire truck brake cans really pretty much like TJ's truck just went up there for the air cooler the top of the air cooler split that truck is almost three years old they put three new brake cans on it it's all covered under warranty it's very good warranty they cover just about everything on that truck with the warranty so for seven years we pretty much don't have to pay for anything wrong with it and it includes a thousand dollars in towing so if the truck breaks down the warranty covers tow belt we don't pay that and then tow bills are up to eight hundred dollars that's a thousand dollars for each tow every time it gets towed it covers the tow for seven years do you hear a motion on this how much is a tow now currently about eight hundred dollars that's through the road if you use Clark's service it's a thousand where exactly so in years past do you know how much our extended warranty would have cost us when it came through it would have been part of the bid the price that we get the truck that the 2015 has been traded in for it's the same warranty as that truck and it was nineteen thousand dollars and that was for eight years though seven they only bought seven years is there any room for negotiation on the figure in terms of what they're quoting on the truck you're getting rid of one that's just coming out of warranty that has that 2015 only had a five year warranty on it there was there was a few years there that I guess some warranties got they got five years instead of sevens yeah the 2015 and the 2017 both got five year warranties on them not seven like the rest of them we think we did the five because we were trading them in as the war as as a rotation emotion on this what was originally going to happen was that the trade of the 2015 was going to go toward the truck and cover the warranty for the white truck we originally planned that wouldn't be in vans so it wouldn't be any out of the pocket for the warranty on the white one but that didn't happen as planned basically if you take if you buy the warranty when we sell the other truck it'll just take a room got a year got until March this coming spring before we have to make a decision they automatically get a one year warranty we buy them and make a motion to purchase the warranty please your second I'll second it okay any words any further discussion I'm on the fence it's a lot of money it does guarantee you know all of the coverage that you're explaining one bill last year on that six wheeler $15,000 one bill the 2017 has had a motor and a transmission and put into it for free that's almost $70 or $80,000 I mean that 19 when you go and spend you know being a motor is $80 to $70,000 so when you go something happens to one of the motors and it's not covered on a warranty that $19,000 compared to the $70,000 that you've got to put a motor in a truck for when it's covered and that $19,000 is only a one time deal it'll wait until that motor can go twice for somebody like more town town more towns had three I think they might be on to their fourth motor in the same truck in less than two years because the manufacturing problem that's to be decided through that but they've had a truck in the shop the same truck four times for the same problem and it's been a motor job bull three out of four times so far under its fourth I believe does the warranty does that is that a repair warranty or is it a replacement warranty it's a very good question I was wondering about that too get it in writing so that we could look at I have them great I mean I have that all in email but it's from April May I suppose if it's all covered under a warranty the same one we've been getting for years the same warranty wouldn't matter if it's repair or a replacement repair or a replacement repair again the only trouble is you've got a truck then the other discussion on this those in favor aye throw in an aye motion carries right away permit on Scott Hill Road so Mr. Casablan has submitted a request for 1784 Scott Hill Road I'll call the church move this culvert and drive away wants to move it further down and add five to eight feet to it toward the south of Scott Hill he would be the side south of the church so you've gone out and looked at it I looked at it there was nobody around I didn't see them besides the fact if they're going to they'll have to put a new culvert in and then they would size the culvert now it looked to be somewhere around a foot to 15 inch so it would be an 18 inch so the new one would be an 18 so the only thing that's going to be in the town right away is just the work would just be the widening of the the curb cut changing of the culvert do we have a limit on our curb cuts on width we've discussed in this frame and you had made a recommendation that you would like to see 30 feet as a minimum was that correct I think that gives I think 30 feet would give you enough depending on the depth of the ditch the problem is you see a lot of people that just throw a 20 footer in there and then by the time you get some dirt and depending on the depth the deeper goes the narrow the driveway is and again that's another thing there's a lot of irritables there you know what I mean depth of fire cross culverts whatever there's material whether it be leadge or whatever for depth but failure culverts because they're not deep enough they surface, they get hit, plowing or they're not enough cover on them and they get crushed from you know service trucks, oil trucks whatever people back in their driveway but yeah I would agree with Joe as far as I think there was some movement towards the revise of that being a minimum of 30 feet and will the tree need to be removed or does it stop just prior to the tree that's up to them if they're going to wind your driveway I'm assuming they're going to wind that tree up because the trees stick into their driveway as it is now so they're either going to remove the tree or put the trees back out of our right away if not very close to the edge I make the motion to approve the permit from Thomas Cassavan for the work on the east side of Scott Hill Road Second I'm afraid that you want to put a conditional 18 inch culvert Yes, minimum 18 inch culvert, yes That's our standard now I was going to say that's our standard now isn't it? As far as like what Joe was just saying is that is it just as easy just to make an amendment to our policy to state 30 feet as a minimum I was going to say that I think it would have to go through zoning I think we could at least touch the base with them but yeah I'll look into that Wonderful, thank you Any other discussion on this All those in favor? Aye Motion carries One vote That we can strike from the agenda So excuse me I'm under the opinion that with the upcoming options tax if we keep in there the stipulate stipulate that will be used for capital projects that we need to tighten up our capital budgeting process we've got several aspects to it we've got buildings bridges culverts roadways highway trucks and equipment police vehicles and equipment there's many different moving aspects to it I think we need a coordinated process to do it to come up with a plan to tell our story how we're going to spend the money not just how we're going to spend the money this year next year but how we are going to spend it in perpetuity so there is grant funding available through the department of housing and community development to assist municipalities in developing their capital budgeting program the town of Orange which just went through this last year they should be getting their final report any day now if they haven't already I understand that little sex is also looking to this process so as part of the grant application the planning commission and select board need to pass a resolution basically stating that they're going to abide by the provisions of the grant program that accepted the planning commission accepted made that approval last Wednesday, September 27th and I recommend the select board do the same and we'll make that a motion second any further discussion on this hearing none, those in favor aye motion carries approval of licenses, permits, vouchers and applications I make the motion to approve payable warrant 24g07 with checks 23381 to 23437 for payables in the amount of 120,240.30 payroll warrant 24-07 for payroll from September 10th to September 23rd, 2023 paid on September 27th, 2023 in the amount of 65,276.54 and the September general journal entries as well second any further discussion all those in favor aye motion carries approval of minutes of September 11th 2023 I make the motion to approve the minutes of the regular select board meeting on Monday September 11th 2023 as presented second any discussion those in favor aye motion carries approval of minutes of September 18th 2023 I make the motion to also approve the regular select board meeting minutes of Monday September 18th 2022 as presented to us the seat second any other discussion on this all those in favor aye motion carries the round table draw I think before we get too close to the winner we have some more permanent signs for our roads that are going to be closed I'm sure it will not be open for the winner and so there's going to be signs and barricades or whatever you might believe is needed those barricades I would have to go look at the north end of the project but some of that stuff actually belongs to my player the signs are the barricades are gone barricades are gone not on down there Richardson row they're still there I don't know who that came from us but it was they belong to my player the other side is gone somebody either took them I don't know who retreated to themselves it's all the other day I was going to call WorkSafe this week and have some plywood signs made for both sides is that wrong here anything else Joe nope I was just going to verify that the first meeting for the steering committee of fire department is next Monday is that true or has that been said yet that has not been said yet I'm going to see what the schedule for this room is a town committee and I think if an all possible the scheduling of this room would be a great place to hold it being that it will be open to the public and it will be large and in charge and we'll have to warn it and everything so I was just curious if it was going to be as soon as next Monday so it hasn't been said yet has not been said you'll probably find it to be either Wednesday or Thursday but I want to check on the schedule for this room okay thank you what's it the last meeting we represented from Burlington communication here we'll talk about the police department radios there's a lot of dead spots in town um pretty good issue for the police department um they came out and did some um signal testing around the town um and I'm not certain that especially in the mall area, especially inside the mall on the handheld radios it's practically impossible to get out um still looking at some other options but one that came up is the possibility of getting the lapel microphones which is the speaker mic that hooks on to your shirt lapel um they do make some models of those with an antenna connected to it so as opposed to having the antenna be down by your hip it would be a little bit higher it might be work a little better um there are $369 um so let's get one try it out if it works we could go from there if it doesn't we're scratching out if they're not too we got a better fix as far as either Irish Hill or some other type of system at the state police so that's where we are with that so I was looking at that email and the project has been pushed to or I should say October 12th that's for the road crew repeater okay that's what that was right has my bearing on the state police sometimes well that means that they still me I think three microphones for portables that never showed up after they left because they didn't have good to know about the age I have received a few concerns sorry in there is a letter concerning Williams Road solar application as well as the annual report from Good Samaritan Shelter if you're interested in that kind of dog bite notice for our chair okay yeah just want to take and express the people that the road crew are working along and they have a master plan I'm sure and that they will take and they will fix as soon as possible other than that in the executive session entertain the motion to adjourn I make the motion to adjourn tonight's regularly scheduled slack board meeting a second all those in favor aye we are adjourned
