 Six o'clock and I just let someone else end to the to the meeting and I will start by Reading our Common script now that as Jarrah the Rochester select board I find that due to the state of emergency declared by Governor Scott as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to addendum 6 to executive order 01-20 and act 92 this public body is authorized to meet electronically In accordance to act 92 there is no physical location to observe and listen Contemporaneously to this meeting however in accordance with the temporary amendments to the open meeting law I confirm that we are providing public access to the meeting by Telephone video or other electronic means we are currently using the zoom platform for this remote meeting All members of the board have the ability to communicate Contemporaneously during this meeting through this platform and the public has access to Contemporaneously listen and if desired participate in this meeting you can Find out how to get into the zoom meetings either by looking at the information on the Posted to second somebody else wants to get in the posted agendas are going to the town website or Request specific emails from the town clerk So that said we will Ask if there are any additions to the agenda tonight's agenda Yes, I have an addition Which isn't nor yep This is regarding as the rector rector China organized some Halloween festivities And I want to talk about a COVID protocol and then be Organizing actually a series of events around the For the 30th and 31st, okay All right Anybody else have an addition to the agenda? I'd like to add an executive session to continue discussion about an employee issue and Add that And That said I guess we'll move on with the minutes from the prior meeting of September 28th, and I read them and they seemed Seemed correct, and I didn't find any corrections. I'd move to adopt those And I second that well in favor I don't see Joan here yet, so maybe we'll see if she comes in later for her updates, but let's um I guess we'll just go right into norm. You want to talk to us about what you're what you're thinking Yeah I'm actually I'm coming in as Barbara Shanta and that's weird and let me turn some video so you can see my pretty face Okay Okay Yeah, we've been talking with other rec directors primarily Linda Anderson in Hancock She's organizing a multi town sort of a Quinn town series of events Actually posted them on our website There's really three Big events we want to do. We want to do it sort of a Halloween reverse parade Which is very similar to what we did as a Reverse parade for 4th of July Where in 4th of July we had like little stick people standing by the sides of the road and Basically cheering on all the cars At this point we're gonna have stick Halloween characters You know spooky people funny people whatever anybody wants to make um And then they're welcome to You know put their people out on the green Or the the park and the other towns will be doing the same Also anywhere along the highway um And that will go from Uh, October 30th through November 1st the whole weekend Friday through Sunday um and then um Friday evening we'll have a pumpkin lighting And we've done this in the past. I think I think Katie Landware did it um You know just get a bunch of kids or families together and light their pumpkins and Set them up around the monument um We we were talking about food, but I don't think that can really happen with uh all the covid protocol You know bringing usually they brought in cider and donuts, but uh, I don't think that's gonna happen um And then on the 31st, uh, we're thinking about um What to do for halloween um Again, we got the covid thing going so I wanted to ask you guys Is is halloween The door-to-door trick or treating gonna be Sort of outlawed this year I don't know if you've gotten directives from the state But in lieu of that, I was thinking um Well, again all the towns are going are Creating these events where the kids can just um Show up and get bags of candy like in handcocked They're gonna have a zipline And somebody with uh vinyl gloves will put a bag of candy on the zipline And and wheel it to the little kid, you know 30 feet away very covid safe I was thinking something like a big tube a big pvc tube somebody with gloves throws a big bag of candy through the pvc tube And the kid has a bag and never touches anything So so there's a way we're trying to come up with ways to do it without You know You know following protocol basically um We I was thinking about Maybe if there is no trick or treating that people that wanted to Give candy at their doorstep could Possibly drop off some candy maybe at the town office in a big box So for a couple Couple days in advance, um, maybe a group of us could um organize the candy in the bags, you know all the donated candy and kind of create a thing for the the kids Uh, regardless, we we sort of have a environment around the gazebo. We have stuff from uh pierce hall pierce halls going to be Not Not having its event Because of coven, you know, not no serving food or anything Um, so we'll be able to maybe take some of those lighting and decorations to the gazebo and Create a little environment for Someone so for the kids to have fun. So, you know, if they can't go dirt or trick or treat Um, norm I I welcome what you guys have to say norm Yeah, speaking as someone who lives at trick or treat central right on main street there on the corner of the park um, I Mentioned this to a couple of my neighbors over the phone and they all Would much prefer having something on the park. They don't feel comfortable doing the food They want to do it next year if if at all possible giving out candy because they like it But they feel this year may be not a good idea. So I know I don't believe that it's been like Band or anything by the state or something dune could dune and patty and frank could tell you but um, I just was thinking myself just the the Scuttle but on the street so to speak that I've heard from neighbors is they'd much prefer To have that off them, but they would be willing to donate some candy and stuff if needed So I don't know that's that's just what I've heard There's been no directives from the state that I know but I know a lot of municipalities have Spoken up and um, taking it off the table for this year and saying no no trick or treating just Yeah, because it's probably not a good idea this um in this environment um in terms of orchestrating You know dosing the kids with candy I don't know, you know, if that's How important that is or not I guess that's that would be up to the parents it seemed to me You might thought the whole process of going house to house and then wandering around with all the other Goblins is a big big part of halloween and I don't know if you want to just reduce it to Getting a bag of candy But that's right. What do you what do you guys think? I I don't know actually I I think it is an issue that we have to Think about I mean if they wanted to have some sort of giveaway You know, they have the The farmers market set up there like so if they did something along that line Where they you know had one way in one way out kind of thing and Went through different little stands like the farmers market sets up Then you might be able to do something like that Where they could get candy at one spot But they're going to have to be social distance and I'm not sure you can get that through Yeah, it's it's going to be Kids running around As far as What you said doing is it just make it sort of a one-time thing? I mean we we would like to create an environment and I've been working at pierce hall For years and you know, maybe with a little light show decorations and Just families getting together You know, although they're six feet apart that there is sort of a A chance for Kids to you know, they're just not going to show up and get the candy and go home. They're they're sort of They'll be social interaction And we will try to find devices to keep them You know entertained Maybe it maybe one idea might be a costume contest or something because I know when my kids were growing up Obviously getting the candy was fun and a big part of it But they really loved planning their costumes ahead and showing off their costumes to the other kids when they were going around trick-or-treating And when they'd come home, they'd be telling me all about oh, you should have seen You know and tell me all about what other kids were wearing and somebody had a really cool costume So I don't know that's that's possibility um Yeah, yeah, we could have different categories possibly that would mean we need more prizes, but Uh, that that is definitely possibility come up with events like that Uh Sure I mean a lot of costumes involve masks, don't they? That's right. The masks are pretty made Um, you know like little little things like uh, what those little glow in the dark necklaces and stuff, you know people can We can give out those and You know, they can run around to that stuff That's always kind of fun. So it would be a It would be a thing, you know, a bunch of spooks on the park Running around. I mean it is it's it is up to the parents to You know police them a little bit and make sure that they are um You know socially distancing or do what they have to do. I want to bring um, Amy brawn into it. I've contacted her along with Yolanta, um the uh After school uh persons are I'm trying to Integrate the school with it and and they sort of know all the rules and know, you know, they know how to deal with these protocols In the school environment. So I kind of want to carry that Into this park environment I think weather has to be a consideration too and we can't plan it this far ahead Um, I I've been listening only because I haven't made a decision about the hardware yet. Um, the hardware Has a tradition of giving um halloween candy out Um, and we normally during the week close at six and and stay open to about 7 30 because it's month end And I gotta do statements anyway. And so, um, we would run open until about 7 30 and give out candy for trick or treating um We uh, we're planning on not changing that we're still going to do that except Uh, halloween's out of saturday and we close at four So now we would be open like two three hours later if we wanted to cover the the halloween rush That's that's more of the issue of what we have right now. Um, so I don't know um If the businesses um planned on still giving out That is actually one of the elements that I didn't mention we we want to do the same kind of thing that we did over the fourth of july Uh, which is invite businesses to offer specials if they have any special that Yeah, you have to the restaurant if they have Something on the menu or whatever Um, they can contact us and we can put their specials on a flyer So, um Remember at our rec committee meeting we talked about how the trick or treating type stuff on halloween should be from two to five in the afternoon Yeah, we're looking for an earlier one for trick or treating like uh largely daytime and that quick help patty with her time issue Yeah, I think something you better do is not put out mixed signals Yeah Settle line and follow it We're going to have an article to have a lot of confusion We're gonna have an article in the paper next week And also norm is going to when everything gets settled after our meeting this thursday Hopefully everything will be settled then then he's going to be um Be making up flyers to send home with both the with the kids to school that kind of thing The thing is if you have some businesses handing out candy They're probably going to go around to houses and knock on doors. Oh, yeah You know, so you're inviting that so I think you have to set up A certain thing and that's it if if we as a town are not going to support a trick or treat Then for this year because of the covet thing then I think we need to make a stand on that That's my feeling that makes sense friend Because if we send out mixed signals, it's going to get crazy and everybody would be going around to all the houses Again, which is not what we should be doing. I don't believe Yeah So I think you have to set a draw a line in the sand and And come up with some rules and and figure out how you want to address it if you want to have A set time To do the candy thing On the park. That's fine. I would think but I don't think you want to Make it I think the town has to come out with something and says You know, no trick or treating house to house this year And then come out with whatever they want to do, you know, that would really include Businesses too because that that leads you on to the pattern of going somewhere to get candy versus Focusing it on the park You know, I don't know how elaborate you'd need to get even if like how the the um The farmers market is set up on the arc to the park if you set it up with the um With the decorations and the goblins and such on the park there could be you could have You know break up the donations of candy into bags and and As kids come by a certain Certain Character they could pick up a bag of candy there. I don't know if you know how elaborate we need to get with them It's up to the volunteers that are doing it but to um Yeah, I agree with frank. I don't I don't think patty. It's a good idea to To give out the candy there. You could help, you know Got some bags with the hardware store name on it. That could be that the donation bag is on the park or I don't know Sorry kids. Now. Does that mean I I can't get dressed up either because Pirella Deville with a damnation. It was awesome. Oh, I heard you were great. You know why not why not get dressed up I think you should get dressed up. I think I think the whole select board should get dressed up. Yeah Um, maybe the businesses could have a station at the park station or a table At the park along the arc in the park pathway, you know, all the businesses line up and Right It's uh, well, I don't think max would do it But if they took a treat at max max was giving out candy I believe sandy was giving out candy and the huntington house was giving out candy So there was there are a few businesses that were I think inner traditions put something out on their porch so there there were Probably, I don't know five businesses that that were giving out candy as long as they were open So it might be good for the board to let the businesses know that we're going to concentrate on the park, please Yeah, you know, I mean not I don't know I do I think dune has a point that you know, if they give up You know, people are going door to door there. They'll keep going Now that's something I can announce in the flyer And of course that flyer will go to the kids in the school Um, so the word will get out that way as well. Whatever you guys decide as a select board I can And I'm sure Martha will put in the paper Yeah, I was just wondering if you were going to be sending the flyer to the My experience just was where I live is that I get kids from most of the valley towns and you know, I recognize where they live And so it's possible. I mean I mean for normal trick or treating so I'm wondering if you're going to be giving the flyer at least out to maybe in the Stockbridge school as well as Rochester, but I don't know if that's Yeah, actually. Yeah, that's linda and I have been talking about this linda Anderson and uh her whole idea here and it really works pretty well with 4th of July is to coordinate and integrate all five towns from down in Pittsfield up through Grandville and we've talked with we've had zoom meetings with Martha and Some of the other directors and other interested people and You want to coordinate where you know, some people Can go from town to town and go to these events That's what linda was hoping for where you could It sounds like Hancock's really going to do it up this year But she was suggesting within this three hour time period You know to go from Hancock to Rochester to see the other It's almost like a trick or treat in and of itself, you know, there's Could be two three four events Up and down route 100 Um, we're coordinating both our pumpkin lighting events and our trick or treating events at exactly the same time so You know when people get sick of one to go to the next one So or you have you're having the pumpkin lighting Friday night, but you're having that is a trick or treating Saturday afternoon Yeah, 530 to 830 So that's like a sort of It may involve maybe You know older maybe more parents or older people as more It's sort of like a A prelude to trick or treating. Well, I'm just worried about having any pumpkins left for halloween night Um, I mean halloween day, whatever the idea we're getting to that. Um Only because Anybody doesn't want to keep their pumpkin they would They could leave them with us and you know, I would put them Somewhere for safe storage for Is that the box who has a has a compost business now is offered? I think I heard that he had offered to get rid of any leftover pumpkins when halloween is over that nobody else wanted, you know, he would You know, it's something to think about too. We don't want to leave a mess on the park So yeah, we've been planning all these details all these people from five times. It is pretty amazing and um You know, I say, you know, let's go for it one way or another and you know, whatever you guys decide As the Rochester protocol will try to get the word out I just think you need to really promote no door to door Trick or treating I really honestly think you got to do that And probably a good way of doing that is by promoting this as an alternative to that and communicated That way right now um probably should have um Something in the paper kind of you know, I'm going to be having I'll have something in this article, of course about the meeting But next the plan was since we're having our meeting on thursday to make our final decisions I'm on this committee that that norms on That we would have an article in next thursday the 22nd Which should be a full week and two days ahead of halloween Um to help people plus they would be sending the flyer home with the kids Which would have all the definite stuff on it And I think um, maybe on the town website and norm can tell you he's got several other ideas for places to put it too like Yeah, I haven't been on front first forum much But actually yeah, the schedule is currently on the website right now Rochester, Vermont And that's going to be the hub for all five towns to get their halloween information Um, and again, we'll be sending a flyer to the school um You know if you guys decide no trick or treating I can put that front and center right on the website But I think we kind of made that decision there I think I think so I think that's the way to go and you know I can see events where you can you know give out candy along that and if the businesses want to contribute to that That would be where to go with that I think But you have a a set time Where you do that and we promote no door to door And use it like doon said in lieu of no door to door you're what you're doing, you know To promote that that way I think that's kind of the way we have to handle it. Yeah so the the um So the application for the park use and has got three points that's um to Do the reverse parade action the decorating on the park and then on the 30th the jack lantern writing and then What we've talked mostly about the 31st the um trick or treat event in alternate events, which um I I guess I would Amend this to say that that is um promoted as and As a consolation prize or anything to Um well promoting the lack of door-to-door trick or treating that there will be um, you know some Orchestrated safer events, you know around the park uh Part of the announcement would be Uh because you can't give out candy and trick or treating, uh, can you please donate that candy? To us so we can make up some monsters on the park who will distribute it safely Right and normally we have that article in next week. We can always put your note Your name and phone number or whoever else wants to volunteer Maybe linda as the person to call if people want to make donations or whatever sure sure I was hoping uh, it's july here Would julie be okay with having um, uh, like a big box at the town office and Have people come to the town office and drop off bags of candy if they wish Yeah, we could we could do that Yeah, taxes and candy But the hardware too because people all have to wear masks when they come into the hardware so Okay Martha you may you may want to run that a couple weeks if you're going to be the 22nd But maybe the 29th too. Um, they won't let me run the same thing twice But maybe I can make a shorter version for the 29th. Yeah, that would be great I think it's I think it's something we have to do to make sure that people are aware I don't want people going around town knocking on people's doors Well, it's I mean as much as I wish everybody in town read the herald They don't all read the herald and so he that's why norm's got other ideas too That's good. I think I definitely will More we hammer at home the better we are so yeah the safe yeah, I won't be able to go I got some people on the pto. I I'll send them flyers and They're really good at getting a few of the facebook Conduits So I think the word would get out uh, kid wise That's why I suggested sending the flyers home with the kids at the school at our first meeting because I thought That's obviously our focus group and if they bring the flyers home and show their parents Then if their parents are too busy to read the paper or something at least they saw that so That great, so I guess I would um Move to approve the application for use of the town park for for these events um and With the addition of that these um these events are specifically the one on halloween is Folded into a communication of the um the um No door-to-door trick or treating this this halloween Sure So um, do I have a second? Uh, I second that and I just don't I just don't know when we say no, I mean We do not recommend it. I mean we're saying no that we're not we're not gonna have somebody policing the area, but no I can second that I hate this All right I'm okay with it. Okay on favor I Yep, but but we're we are gonna allow Santa Claus to come to town I'm standing on my ground on that one Only halloween only halloween characters But I'll uh, I'll put some language in uh the website tonight and maybe you guys If you have a chance to have a look and see if it's worded right, you have a better suggestion. Let me know As far as I figure out we sort of have to Delicately tell people they can't trick or treat There's right. I think you have to be good about it. I mean do the best we can I'm just going to close just leave my lights off and you know I don't know what else to do Don't answer the door Um, okay, but I figure some people might be really into it, you know But I mean a lot of people don't like to do what they're told Yeah And I like that you're bringing back the tradition of the jack-o'-lanterns I'm around the monuments been a while since I've seen that and that's always kind of Yeah, I was gonna say we did that when my kids were little and I remember they really liked that a lot So I think it'd be fun to do it again. Well that was done by uh zoos larry athletic director. Yeah Apparently there's supposed to be a Every town is doing it or at least three or four times and I'm gonna they're gonna take pictures and post we're gonna post them on the websites and apparently Have a little vote off for the best set of pumpkins All right And Rochester's pumpkins Right. All right for uh, so um now for something Less, um exciting but uh, we have a Application for a permit for a driveway construction Um from ray and Cheryl harvey on town line road And that's um, I know where that where that's that I haven't talked with cooter about this I think this is um pretty easy to approve. There's already um An informal Um driveway there. They're they're just gonna formalize it and put a culvert in so I I think I'd Um move to approve that one A second map. Yeah on favor Boy that seemed really quick compared to the halloween one That's still runs by cooter. Anyway, you're correct um Well, he's no the select board is the one that approves the driveway cut. We just that they had With the advice of the um a road foreman Yeah, but that's that's a straight stretch. There's no curves there and it's like said it's already That's the old gill matlots. I guess right. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah um So, um, we've got um a um The maintenance contract for the town tax mapping. I see we lost the guy that we um That put together the current one and I guess he's retiring and I print that now it's on my other computer And it's something that needs to happen. I don't know if we um Have um julie has there been much Options out there and it's not something that's big enough to that we need to put out to bid. We're talking about 1700 dollars or 1750 right and Is this a company that you think is actually going to stick around for a while? It's kind of disappointing that's the The fellow we went with last time decided that he's done all of a sudden Right. He this company here is out of new hampshire. So it's close by And uh, they provide services for many of the towns in vermont Yeah So they've made an application julie or something and what's the name of the company or uh It's c a i technology Is that like capital c capital a capital i correct. Okay. Thank you And they're out of littleton new hampshire And they're keeping their uh for this year. They said they'll keep everything the same as what um Previous Amounts were 1750 for the maintenance service and then um Yeah, so maintenance services is basically any modifications or adjustments and I guess that deals with the Transfers and title with people buy and sell properties Correct. Yeah that bad and if any um new tax or any new surveys come in, uh, they'll get added to the list And is this this is something that we have to do every year That's not something that we can skip a year and because they're talking about the data Um ending This march, you know the year before then so we're already half a year Begone that time. I just didn't know if this is um I guess this comes into play for setting our tax rate for The grand list for the tax rate next year, right? Correct, right? This follows this follows the listers. Um, their taxation date is April 1st Okay, so it's everything as of 3 31 and that's that's where the listers start lodging the properties and then they actually Start there in a year after they go first. So I think it just follows the listers Yeah So I think it's um, I think we have um, I'd move could approve this to the contract I second that an all in favor Nice Right, um, so we have some um, the proposals for modifying the speed ordinances in town and on Bethlehem Mountain Road and um There's something that if we approve this then we have to post it and for what 60 days But then I think there people have up to 40 days to um Contest it or ask for more information or petition against it The um, I think we should put this on the back burner. We basically What how this came about was uh, the Windsor county sheriff wanted some clarity in a couple of our roads And we weren't sure I know I talked with Julie about it And we weren't sure how the process worked on how we amended it And he came into the office and looked through our ordinances and found the places where We need to to upgrade so that when he writes a ticket, he's got a foolproof Uh plan so that it's kind of you know, it's the judge will accept it. Yeah in other words, so it'll You know gain us a little money there. He said and it's and it's just a foolproof system. So um, I we just got this information and I just soon Uh Study it a little bit so we can write it out properly and make sure we're doing the right things Yeah, because we do have ordinances in place already. Is this just he had pointed out some Yes, these are just amendments to the ordinance basically, right But to do that we have to warn it a certain way and after we do approve it I think we have 14 days to uh to make sure it's Submitted to the public and then they can you know, they can mix it or whatever, but I'd like to look at it for Really and then maybe I can get Nancy to help me a little bit We can work would you be willing to do that Nancy to see where we can plug that ordinance in? Yes Okay, yeah the other part of this too is um once the or once it's written uh Susan sinning from the vlct attorney. She suggested that it um That you have it reviewed by either a town attorney or by vlct to you know Just make sure everything is worded correctly to hold up So if I said that you decided to look at the issue further before bringing it To bringing it up to a vote or something. I mean is the board voting on it? Do you have to have a vote on it at a public meeting? Vote at it on a public meeting and then it's um presented to the public for a Fairly good amount of time. I think and they to um To comment on it. Yeah, I remember when we did the this or I remember when this was going into effect I think there were two Open public meetings with lots of testimony pro and con back and forth especially about the Bethel mountain Road section when we dropped it down to 25. Um, yeah, it was it was a Before it would go through um because of All of the meetings and hearings and the legalities of it. So I think that what we have here um was all done correctly But uh, I so I don't know what the sheriff is Well, it's a couple of sections that aren't spelled out in the ordinance itself And one of them is the is the main town From the entrance to town to the end of the fire department he 30 mile Thing and he wants to make sure that we've got it right And so I want to research it to make sure that we're doing it right And what he wants is is not already in there and I haven't had time to do that Yeah, I mean this this does this covers specific roads. Um, and it doesn't doesn't really cover townwide um Like the townwide speed limit and um, whoever is going around putting stickers on our speed limit signs in the hollows Changing they realize that by doing that they're going to make tickets unenforceable. So they're actually By putting stickers on the town speed limit signs Um thinking it's cute to lower the speed limit. They've actually rendered the tickets Unenforceable that would be written on those roads. So they're actually um having the the opposite effect that they would think they're having Yeah, correct. I believe also if you tamper with the sign it voids the sign so it defaults back to whatever the town speed limit is Which is like 40 Speed limit, yeah Yeah, you're not doing anybody any favors whoever is doing that So, um, so I I agree that this is this definitely is something to um research further and then let's table that Yeah All right, um Is Joan made it in here? She has not for I don't know if well the only The biggest updates that we have from her is that there is not a lot of money out there for um, for road projects surprise surprise and We'll um, I just pick that up again next year, but it doesn't look like we're um moving very quickly on the nascent brook project and um or the um Well, we'll see but that's that was the gist of the communication. She gave us last week Um this coming wednesday Our one-year anniversary of the Bethel mountain road project was october 11th last sunday Um, and it was part of the contract to do a one-year Uh walkthrough kind of like our our warrantee is coming up or something Um, so we're we've got that scheduled with uh myself cricket and bryan brezzlin from uh, Deboy and king to do wednesday Um, and we're meeting at the town office at one o'clock if anybody else wants to um Walk up Bethel mountain road with us. You're you're you're welcome to join in. We're really just going to walk up and um See if everything's stable and make notes of things that are not stable Which I believe that there is a spot or two that may need to be noted Um, just so that if something were to happen the state would say oh, we're responsible for that too. Yeah. Yeah All right Um An update on the town office Um, I've been cleaning out down there the sheriff took a few things from there But they weren't worth anything. He just wanted to destroy them because they had numbers on them Uh, that he didn't want to get out to the public in any way So I told him to take them and destroy them So they uh other than that I've took one Load to the dump. I'm probably going to do another. I probably do the office chairs That are junk This next week So and I took the heat out of the garage and I'll cap it off so that It's capped off now the heat part, but I got to insulate the The vents so there's no cold air in there and I got to get gopher or somebody in there to drain the water And put some valves on that water system So and then I'll just continue to keep trying to get it clean where we can put the Stuff in there. Yeah use it for storage All right, thank you Frank yep boy I think that we pretty much covered what's on the agenda tonight Um, dune one question. You said you were going to end by having the board go into executive session to discuss an ongoing employee issue Yep, um, do you plan to make any sort of decision that I should That's um part of what we're talking about is that we're Not ready to make any decisions. Okay. I just wondered. I was going to ask you to let me know if there was something Yeah, no, we When it comes to that point. Okay. Thank you. Thank you So, um, thanks everybody We'll see you around town Thank you. Have a good evening everyone. Yep. Bye. Good night.
