 Okay, I'm going to call them in order. It's 6 31 recording in progress. Do we have any additions to agenda? I asked to have an appointment of John Boucher as second animal control officer added to the agenda and I want to ask about the part time road employees on the hours. I remember we had a discussion. They had to be kept for 24 and they're always over. So that was just answer that. Yeah. So I'll put it on the other business. Thank you. And your animal control officer items. Okay, review of minutes March 18, March 25 and March 27. Wow. Sorry. Wow. I'm still trying to get it. So let's see. March 18. Who produced these? Probably you. Okay. Mr. Chair. Yes, sir. I'll make a motion to accept. Okay. And I have some corrections. Oh yeah. Do we have a second on that? You just have your motion. Somebody else has to say. No second. Do you want? I'll second it. No, you second. Then we have this. Yeah, that's what we're going to do. Okay. We have a second. Yeah. Okay. Any further discussion? Yes. Yes. Under town garage project owners represented. Yes. I think the word should be BIS construction consultants was in attendance rather than will be in attendance because it was physically here. Yes. Okay. Okay. Under under the appointments. I understand it was a lengthy whole thing. It's it's not customary to list for in the minutes for public record, who was appointed. You know, you know, Carl or. Yeah, I believe I requested at the time that when the minutes are put together that the slate be appended to the minutes the slate from the that we used for that meeting. I think it makes sense as a public record to have. Yeah. If that's what. I'm just typing it all into it or just having a. No, it's a separate PDF document already. So you just need to merge the two PDF documents like. Thank you. I can't tell you how to do that on a PC, but it's easy on a Mac. All those. All those. Not as easy on a PC like John. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And us for the record. I'm just sending the final minutes. I think I can easily add that in Adobe. Awesome. Thanks. And I have one more comment when we went into. Executive session for personnel matter. We have the time that we left, but I don't think we have the time that we went in. On page three on the bottom. Personnel matter. There's no time that we went into executive session. I'll go back to the movie. 15 minutes before. So I have a question about the sibling. Are you done? Okay. Oh, go ahead. Yeah, so a couple of things. Yeah. I'm going to go back to the bottom of page one of the top of page two. The word refused. I believe the word should be recused. I did my best to hear. Yeah. Yeah. I heard. No, you're not fired. Otherwise we might not have a chair and a vice chair right now if they want to. And just. At the bottom of page three. Not sure why that line is in green. Me neither. Okay. Beats me. Expense one. You're thinking green now. I don't think I. It was, I don't think it was green when I. Okay. That's it for me. Okay, I got a question about the sibling thing. I thought we're. Okay. So it wasn't agreed to consensus this like we're not being involved. It was put off to a different agenda. Okay. They will be at the next meeting. That's right. I did email them. So you saw that, right? But I don't know. I've not even. Whatever. I agree. It shouldn't be involved. But they're coming anyway. So it wasn't. Yeah. That wasn't that didn't happen. I was. I was not. It was put off to the April 22nd agenda. Okay. Yeah. Wanted to attend this meeting. Yeah. Timing with agendas. Yeah. It was a long drive. Try to have people. Yeah. At the beginning of a meeting. Yeah. Was kind of already spoken for. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So. Okay. So. We're good. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Fair to have the do have. That takes care of the March 18. And we've got. March 25. Make a motion to accept the minutes. Are you second? I'll second it. And I'll raise my, my hand. The comment. Any further discussion. Yes. So the top line, the date should be March 25th. And then. After chair Gardner called the meeting to order at 501 p.m. since. Additions to the agenda and public comment were on the agenda. Then I think you just add there were no additions to the agenda or public comment. I changed the date on the version. Okay. One online has. March. Okay. And then. After minutes, no minutes to review. Before the motion should say what. What the topic is. So it's personnel matter. This is March 25th. So Gina, the link. Tom says, says March 25th on the link. Okay. We know. No. It's Tom and he wants to join the meeting. So Scott's protesting. You joined the meeting. Is that correct? That's not for it. I'm trying to exercise democracy here, but I have a lot of pushback. No, you have wax in your ears. So Gina is working on it. So I get off the phone now. Because Tom is, I mean, Scott is raising his hand up and down like this. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. The ID. Unfortunately, I can't get to click. Because I'm in the meeting. But the ID. The one that's on the website. He's trying to click on. He's clicking on the. I can't click the link. Yeah. He's trying to click in. So I'm trying to let him in. Rosie's. Farley natural. We're getting in. Is he clicking on the wrong. More. But he is zooming in. I don't know. He's using. I don't know why. Okay. Under the. We're still in the 25th. Yeah. Right. We need a time that we went into executive section. Right. Yeah. We have one. Got out. Yes. Yeah. I just clicked on the link on our website via my phone. And I'm now on the way. Hi. Jennifer. Come on in. We're still. So. I just went on the website on my phone. Click the link. And. Take me into the meeting. I think you know what. I came into the waiting room. Okay. I'm going to use my computer. So I'm not sure. That would that help. No, I mean, I just. I just came into the. Yeah, I know. Is he have the right board meeting? He said my 25th. Well, this is April 1st. Post. And that's what I went to. I went to the April 1st post on the website. I clicked on the. April 1 meeting zoom link. And then I came into the waiting room here. I did not admit myself, but. He's clicking into the. Ask him to go to the website. And click on that. Sorry. The meeting ID on the agenda. And then. If I may continue on the minutes. Since you're new at this, it's, it's, I'm sure something that you'll be doing, but just to highlight it. The lower left corner in the upper right corner to. Make those correct for these minutes. Lower left corner where it says. 202 XXX East Montpelier select board minutes draft. Put in the correct date and take away draft. That's what. That's what they're saying. In the footer. Okay. I don't know if I can take away the draft in the online version of. The word that I'm using. Okay. I didn't hear that. I can only use a set, like a. Browser version of Microsoft word. With a laptop that I'm using. And I don't know how to take away the draft. Oh, I see. Yeah. I'm not sure. I can't select it. With my cursor. So. I had, I had some problems with that too. And I was able to click on the footer tab or the header tab on the right. And get access to it. I will definitely need some assistance from someone. I am not. We've been searching for someone to take notes. Our last person was with us for years left. So Zoya is. Very, very select board members have filled in. Yeah. Or. Or tried to fill in. So what's it challenging. But it's okay. So I am, I am making those changes in the online version that you shared with me. Oh, great. Which changes are the remote select for the tenants or. Editing the header and footer. Okay. So I'm good. Can we move this along? Or. Yeah. Or try to fill in. So it's a challenging. But it's okay. So I am, I am making those changes in the online version that you shared with me. Oh, great. Which changes are the remote select for the tenants or. Or. Sure. No more corrections. Okay. So Carl, I'd like to move these minutes along. Yeah. Fine. Okay. All those in favor, please say. With the amendments. With the amendments. All right. All right. Okay. March 25th. Let's pass. Let's go to. March 27th minutes. I like the one page. This is in the novella. Okay. Okay. Motion to. Scott's going to make a motion to be a second. I'll take a little ones. Okay. It's always going to make the second. Any further discussion? Yes. Guess what I'm going to say. I know what you're going to say. That's no time for going into executive session. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yeah. At least I'm reading the minutes. Very good. Is that that's accepted, right? You don't. Okay. I'm accepting comments and corrections on the minutes. Do we have any? Carl. Yes. Yeah. Just. I would add after in-person public attendance, none. I would add the word none. And also after remote public attendance, none, just so it doesn't look like we forgot to put that in there. It's a good idea. And also. Under the line additions to the agenda. None since public comment was also on the agenda. I'd also add public comment. None. Even if it's. Even if it's redundant. Since there's no members of the public there. And then again, before the motion. The. The agenda item needs to be in there. So personnel matter. Right above the motion. Why don't you got the time going out. The space. Time going. I mean, times on your mind. On the one hand. Always from no one. Very good. I like that thing. Kind of appreciate it. Okay. Okay. Okay. Everyone done calming about the minutes. All is a favor. Please say. With. With the corrections. All right. On it. No. All right. The eyes. Good. They do have. Okay. Any public comment. None. Okay. Now we got to ask the. Candidate one. Are you sure? Yes. We have to have a voice work session. Yes. So we were going to. Just talk about. Questions in that country. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Any public comment. None. Okay. Now we got to ask the. Candidate one. Okay. So we need you to step out. Okay. And we're going to shut some doors. And then we'll call you in. Don't run away. Yeah. Grab that door. Yes, I will. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. The bathroom. There's a bathroom. There. I don't. I don't need to. Did you offer a drink? I would have brought a six pack. Yes. You have your hand up. I moved to go into executive session under one VSA. 313 a three, et cetera. It's 648 executive session. Are you ready to start? Okay. I have executive session eight o'clock. Oh, I actually was taken. Oh, you'd like to do something. Yeah. Good. I'd like to make a motion to. Offer. Jennifer divine. The position of town administrator. And authorize. Seth Gardner. Select board chair to negotiate the terms. Okay. Second. I believe the motion was to offer the interviewed candidate. The position. That's right. That too. But. And the motion is also. To offer her the position on the grounds that she is the most qualified candidate. I believe. Is that correct? Thanks for the. Thanks. Thanks for the. Stanking. Legitimately. Public spending. Do we. Okay. Sounds good. And we have a second Tom seconded it. I think first. And is a further discussion. All the favorably say hi. Hi. Hi. They do have it. Okay. So I would like to move on to the next. Finalization of town meeting minutes. You have two long pieces. I do. Oh, I have. You gave me the other day. Well, we have a new long version. Oh, the short version stayed the same, but the long version is. New. Okay. You have those. Yeah. So I think the question was which one of these versions we're going to correct. Or I mean. Or. Approve. Yeah. Can I make a suggestion? Yeah. I did a short and a long version because I've been hearing some discussion in previous meetings about. Whether shorter minutes would be more appropriate and other circumstances. Given that. Given that the town meeting minutes are. The physical minutes in the town book. And part of the his historical record. I guess I would like to, I would like to just suggest that we. Ditch the short version. And consider only the long version, which is the most complete. Okay. That was going to be my sentiment. Carl and I have a, I think we're on the same plane with that at the last meeting. I'm very much in favor of keeping the long version for the exactly. The reasoning that. Yeah. I would be immediately against just the short version. Okay. So one of the reasons I've mentioned shorter minutes in our select force. We've had a hard time. Define people to keep the minutes. So I want to keep at least the statutory requirement, which is short minutes to fulfill. Now, obviously this is different. We had no, put together a lot of minutes. So I agree that the long minutes are appropriate in the circumstances. The. A novella is okay. So, okay. So let's work off the long version. So at this point, we are accepting comments, corrections, et cetera. Scott, have your name up. You have your hand up. Yeah. We have talked last time. About scrubbing this for typos and for whatever. Yeah. I honestly never read it. If somebody, if Carl, you read it or anybody else has scrubbed it. And I would be very proud of that. If not, I would recommend tabling it to the next meeting. In which case I would certainly. No, I have some suggestions. Okay. So you read the long version. I have, yeah. Okay. Perfect. Okay. So let's go. Okay. So I can, I can email this to you later, Rosie. But, uh, just to get them out there, they're not very many of them, but in article one, um, there was one, uh, most of the elections were unopposed, but there was one opposed election for the select board member, the three year term. And I think, um, it's consistent with our practice and recording. Yes and no votes elsewhere in the minutes on budget items to, you know, acknowledge that Nick Kosla also one or ran for this, uh, seat and the number of votes that he got. Okay. I can put his, uh, Amen votes in there. Sure. Thank you. And then just a little tiny one under article two, the, um, the second bullet point, um, it should, uh, the third line, Sander circle and Sodom pond road culverts. Hey, I'm not seeing that, but if you can, it'll be in. Okay. And then at the very bottom, um, the firm hired, the very last line, the firm hired is VIS CC is a full name. If you're doing it only in acronyms or only in, um, letters. Um, I'm not seeing that, but if you can, it'll be in. Okay. And then at the very bottom, um, the firm hired, the very last line, the firm hired is a full name. Um, if you're doing it only in acronyms or only in, um, letters. It's a VIS construction consulting, I believe. Yeah. Yeah. And, and then finally an article 13. This is a longer one. Uh, but, um, the six line from the bottom, the one that begins. Mr. At Nair said RCT. Uh, there are, I'd suggest striking those two sentences. Um, and that also begins if ridership increases and saying, Mr. At Nair said new rural bus routes are generally only put in place after a V trans subsidized commuter van has operated successfully and demonstrated demand. Okay. And again, I'll, I'll, I'll send that to you. That, that's all I had. All right. And I appreciate the details. There's. Yeah. Thank you, Carl. I'll just one more little thing on page two. Under article three. Yeah. About a little less than halfway through, there's a. Oh, it's not even a set. It's a sentence says be performed. Yeah. And there's no punctuation after it before another sentence has started. Yeah. Can you, can you say that again, Zoe? I'm having a hard time hearing you. It's a Chris Pratt one. You just sent it to it. Yeah, I can just send it to you. What is it supposed to say though? Oh, it should be recommended a carbon analysis be performed. Period. Oh, instead of just analysis. Okay, there you go. Right. Yeah. Yeah, I was confused. What's that? Also, I missed this before, but Carol Dixon spells her name without any at the end. Okay. Well, this historical document. I think we should vote on. Tonight. I think that we accept the wrong version of this. How many minutes. Any further discussion. Just so that if those of you who are there wish to sign it, I think that these changes can easily be made without changing the pagination. I want to thank you, Rosie, for putting all the work into this. Yeah. Yeah. Really nice job. Yes. Thank you. Yeah. And it's a very good point about the long version. So. I can watch the video to actually capture all of this. Yeah. She was pulled away for about 20 minutes. Yeah. 20 to 30 minutes. Yeah. This is a tremendous amount of work. Thank you. Thank you. So there's no more comments, et cetera. So I'm going to call the vote on it. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I do have it. Carl, you can send those to me. You said I'm about, I'm about to do that. Yeah. Thank you. Absolutely. And Zoe, I was able to make that change while we were talking. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. So the next thing on the agenda is consideration of planning commission candidates. I'm going to ask a couple of questions on the agenda. I'm going to ask a couple of questions on the agenda. We can. We have. You're here for him. Yeah. You're a candidate. For, for my up to the table. The anywhere you'd like. Here's where. There. Anywhere. There. You're the seniors at 15 questions that we're going to ask. Oh. 15. 15. You're kidding. I asked. I like the state that I'm very impressed that you came in person. Okay. You want to know what you're expecting to do. No. Correct. You don't have to say anything. Okay, so now I see your resume. Why did you say that? Always stress the fact in person is the best. Zooming in is a last recourse. Okay. I don't know that we live in a modern world. She's not even on zoom. Yes, not even on zoom. Right. Exactly. So I share. Well, you're in a hurry. Are you hungry? Oh, no. That's okay. I want to read this thing. Okay. There was two positions. Yes. There's been a movement to make the planning commission small to accommodate the fact that they didn't have two members on it. Really? I'm like, that's not a very good idea. No, I'm not kidding. Would you like to make any further comments in your defense? I just next time I'll zoom. You will. No, actually, I enjoy this. Yeah. This is a factor coming in, sir. Thanks. Despite what anybody else is saying. I was on the planning commission with 10 years. Yeah. So you live on Johnson. Yes. We're right. Right side. Yep. Next to Chris. No, it was, um, Jared. Lemire. And then it was, it was three people as lamirs. And then there were someone before us. I forget because I'm nervous. And then it was talking publicly. Yeah. It's a little bit. Yeah. We're just a bunch of knuckleheads. Speak for yourself. It gets me off the hook. So, so is it where, is it still class three? Yep. Yep. So we still maintain it. Um, town doesn't maintain it. Oh, the town does not. You're on class four. Class four. Yeah. You're not on class three road. That's correct. Okay. I know we were. Yeah. It's this right by John's house. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, you, you definitely have background. That would work on the planning. So do you have any solutions for the problems that you've enumerated? I don't think I have any solutions. I mean, this has all been a learning curve. We've only been here for, for five years or so. Yeah. And it's been a learning curve the entire time. Yeah. There are some things that I see that, oh, that, I wonder why that is. Yeah. But then learning why things are the way they are helps me learn the way it is. But the only problem that I, that I have seen having worked in grocery stores and I'm working at DMV now. Is that there's lots of young people who just can't afford to live here. Yeah. And I've worked at a, I worked at the adamant co-op and there was a lot of older people there. Yeah. And you see these discrepancies between why, why we're the young people. Yeah. And whether, I do not have this. I mean, you know, if someone's talking to me and we're having, I don't drink anymore. I was having a cup of coffee and so I was having a beer. And you know, oh yeah. Cluster subdivisions. I've seen them work in other towns. Bunch of houses with a lot of open space. Then what are the implications for infrastructure? Once you start doing that. Schools and all those sorts of things. I know that the sewer system here is not really, there's nothing, you know, that kind of tanks a lot of possible. Right. Exactly. So that's, that's, that's a problem. Oh, that's not going to be solved easily. How, how, how. Was that. It's not going to be solved. It's not going to be solved at all. It's very expensive. There's been study after study after study. You know, it's a challenge. So that's, that's kind of what I've been learning. Yeah. So I've seen how, things have happened in other places, but whether it actually applies here or not is, is what I'm learning. That makes sense. Well, there's a lot of reasons why Vermont's expensive place. And that young people, you know, can't move here because of housing. Jobs, et cetera, et cetera. The solutions. I mean, it's pretty easy to enumerate the problems. The solutions are hard to find. That's the challenge. So I was, that's why I asked you. I mean, you obviously can put down the problems, but you can read them in a newspaper every day. Right. No. Not hard. And, and, and the solutions, like, I might understand some solutions with putting the pieces together of what a solution might be and hearing what other people have to say. Yeah. That's how I would arrive at a solution rather than me just coming up with my own solution. I mean, I think being on the plan board would give me those opportunities to sort of access that data and to contribute. Yeah. Well, I think you'd be a contributor. Yeah. I'd like, you know, what you say. And I think you're a good candidate. But it also helps that there's two candidates and two seats open. So we don't have to be that picky about who goes on. Yeah. That's how I would arrive at a solution rather than me just coming up with my own solution. And I think that picky about who goes on. You know, it's called one body syndrome. Yeah. I heard that. I have. That's how I got the DRB. That's right. There you go. I remember that well. Yes. But I also was interested in hearing about your solutions because I have thoughts myself about the solutions that, you know, for these problems. So anyway, yes, God, I'd like to disagree with the, with the chair on the warm body. I'd like to put. Okay. I would like to appoint qualified individuals. Okay. I would like to make a motion. I think we have two qualified candidates here. No, I'm not being generous. This is, this is, I'm stating an opinion. Okay. That's okay. I would like to. A lot of you noticed the opinion. That's good. Well, yeah. It's not, it's not a fact. I'll say it. Okay. I'll say it. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. So you just, are you just doing it in one can? No. Yeah. Yeah. I'm appointing. The motion to elect this. Two. Just, just so we don't have to append. To anything to the minutes. Can we have the motion read to appoint Selena more Barton and Glenn wayant. To the planning commission. Yes. Yeah. Thank you. So he's got it in there. Perfect. We have a motion. Okay. Okay. Very good. Any further discussion? Well, you got this down now. Oh, I've been. Rules. Yeah. No. Oh, Rosie. Yes. I just wanted to make candidates aware that in order to participate in the meeting on Thursday night, they have to come into the office and do their oath of office first. So I'll see you in the next few days, right? Absolutely. Absolutely. What? Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes. It's a big thing. Okay. So no more. I hear no further discussion. All those in favor, please say. It's unanimous. How do you feel? I feel good. When you put me on the DRB, the thing you said to me at the time was to use some common sense. I remember that you said that. Yeah. And I appreciate that. Yeah. To do the same. Yeah. Well, I appreciate you coming in. You should walk through life. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, thank you. We have a floss for you. He wears many hats. Usually doesn't like any of it. It's okay. Anyway, thank you for your dedication and. Good luck with it. Good luck with it. Thank you for being on the DRB too. Yeah. Okay. It's great that you've come forward and we appreciate that. Absolutely. Thank you. Have a good night. Take care. All right. So let's see. Consideration of public assistance. Sub recipient grant agreement. This is a grant agreement. That basically allows. We are signing with the state of Vermont. For the state to give us our female funds. Okay. Because the federal funds go to the state. Yeah. And the state. Yeah. Yeah. I actually gave you where. Ready to receive our first projects funds. The total cost we incurred for that was $15,200 and $12 cents. And this is related to. Project seven three zero five five five, which is our emergency protective measures project. Which is essentially the work that was done. In the immediate. Like during the flood. This was work primarily concentrated on. Horn and the moon road. It was also temporary work. Done at Sparrow farm. And. So this is kind of the work that was either. Again, done while the water was coming down, trying to open up for. And then the work that will be pulled back out. So any temporary work, but it's not. Yeah. So this is project number one. I've submitted two more. Since then. I've submitted Jacob's road money for growth. Oh, and I've submitted a group one, which is was a series of nine roads. I can't tell you right now what those nine are. And then I'm in the process now of working on road group two, which has some completed work. Everything else is not completed. So all the completed work. Has been submitted to FEMA. I working now on road group two to break that out between what's come. I've already done it, but I've been working with FEMA on how this has to be documented. Because this is the first time I'm documenting. Not yet completed work. And they will go ahead and fund us from what I understand. So the. This road group two that I'm working on right now, there's two projects that we've done some work for that. When I say we, I'm talking stuff, the road crews doing. I'm not including things like Sanders circle and Sodom pond, which will be contracted out. And spare farm. We haven't done anything yet on the sides by the culvert. So we're in group two. There's future work to be done on Fitz road, guy at road. And one other one that I'm drawing a blank on right now. And I, Guthrie has estimated what needs to be done. You know, it's what material he needs to use. We know how many hours. How long the crew is going to need to do it. What equipment they're going to be using. So I have all of that. I just don't know yet when they're going to do it. So I am working on, I've already written the project narrative, which we have to write that spells all this out for FEMA. But I ask FEMA how to write document it because they have a Excel workbook. You have to send them. There's other pieces of hearts. Exactly. So I got the answer back after we went through all this last week that I, how I need to now break this apart to give to them. So I need to do that this week. And we need on Thursday. And then this one will go. And then. Horn of the moon is another one that I'm going to try to estimate. I don't know how far we'll give it that one before the end of April, but, but we're kind of in. So anyway. So you estimate it and you send off your estimate. Two feet. So I have to send them actually what I just found out on Friday was I had to send them to separate. Pieces. So it will be, here's all the completed work. So I'm going to present you all at the next meeting. All of the project narratives that I've written to date. Right. Which. They're kind of the good thing to read the easy thing to follow. The FEMA workbook is not designed to be printed. Because you, we transact everything electronically. So it doesn't print pretty. If I printed that for you guys, it's painful to try to look at. If you read the project narrative, it literally reads, you know, here's the project. Here's what happens. You're going to see a lot of the same words repeated over and over and over again. The floodwaters overtook a cross pipe or cold words. We don't use certain words that you don't want to use when you're talking to FEMA. Yeah. So I've learned very well. My FEMA PDMG now gives me a big old star on everything that I do because I've learned how to FEMA speak very well. So it's very interesting. So he gave me a, a big gold star for the last two I've given him, but I'm going to give you guys copies of all of those. There's a binder in my office. So when I send these projects to FEMA, I have to send them the project narrative, which outlines everything that's happened. I have to send them their project workbook. I have my own Excel workbook, by the way, that all of this lives in it. So it's very interesting. So he gave me a big gold star for the last two I've given him, but I'm going to give you guys copies of all of those. I have my own Excel workbook, by the way, that all of this lives in as well. That's way more detailed of what FEMA gets. Just because I have to do those in their format. I have to give them copies of everybody's time sheet. I have to give them copies of everybody's pace of, I have to give copies of all the canceled checks and invoices for everything that we paid. So they get. Yeah. Basically a zipped folder for me. That is everything about the project when I give that to him. Yeah. And then he uploads everything into their grants portal. And by the way, I have a bunch of to-do list. I have a bunch of to-do list. And I have a bunch of to-do list. And I have a bunch of to-do list. So I have to give you guys copies. All of these copies. They are both of equal level in the FEMA Grants, Portable Access. FEMA. Michelle is the second. Yeah. Appointed person just as Donald was for Bruce and the FEMA Grants portal. So anyway, next meeting you're going to get everything at where we are to date. Yeah. Because at some point I need to do a line in the sand. Yeah. Of saying, okay, this is where I'm at. But I keep going. you guys say here's where we are your next meeting and it'll kind of be somewhat pencils down for me in a way of that point. Right because it's a 20 second you're leaving in a week. At some point next person needs to take over and start going. Yeah I don't know you know that's something she may not be able to transition while you're here. Yeah and luckily FEMA is very helpful so keep in mind for towns that do not have a town administrator I mean when I have the project narratives I'm talking about that I'm writing yeah our program development whatever his title is pdmg is what they call them um uh Paul is ours now but he's retiring so he won't be here beyond my hair either um they will write them I mean he's writing them for Marshfield yeah um because they don't have a town administrator yeah so right you know they they guide you think exactly they help you and guide you yeah I mean Paul will freely tell you sometimes it is the old accountant you get the box of receipts and do the tax return kind of thing it's it's real I mean he's sitting down with Roman's in certain towns and he's going through this with a Guthrie and he's the one doing all the documentation so um they are very very helpful um when it comes to all of this so we have a new guy not worried we will have a new person yeah he told me that um likely his last day is the 19th I believe and he told me that that meeting we have before that I should meet the new person I do believe that at least we're going to be assigned someone that is in Vermont which I think would be helpful because there are a lot of people here from like Puerto Rico um just a very different it's helpful to have someone that does know the topography yeah I understand the situation here so I think it would be a benefit for the town well the FEMA stuff is kind of painting next and it's hugely once you get on the roll it's not that bad and really for some of the outstanding stuff I've gone through I think what is the hardest part of it um for like Sodom, Pond and Sander Circle once we get those designs from those engineers those designs go to FEMA FEMA will cost it based on those designs from my initial meetings from the state their costing is it's pretty good their estimate so they will from what I understand use those designs cost out what this is going to be that's what the town will end up receiving funding for yeah you will have to close all this out at some point but I mean from what I ever said that can be like two plus years down the road so um so yeah so you know I've kind of gone through the stuff that's tedious yeah I think more so I think going forward it's going to be much higher level that's kind of what I've been doing up to this point well it's good that you're going to get at some speed because yeah when this transition of the TA et cetera we need to know something it's nice to know the federal government just doesn't write a check no serious it's really reassuring that our federal taxpayer money there's okay here take what you want seriously yeah no and like I said I mean the ones that they will ask that it's based on detailed engineer drawings yeah it's you know and they only do that so that they can go ahead get the money in the town's hands understanding that you are now having to put the bill for that it's obviously very expensive oh yeah important the state that all of the projects I'm talking about outside of buying things like culverts we're getting reimbursed for employees time equipment time things like an excavator build out of the dollar thirty seven dollars an hour um so when they're in an excavator for 10 hours in the day um so we're in a we're in a good situation that a lot of this money that is going to be coming back to us right now we would have already spent yeah anyway yeah yeah god so it's good it goes back to the general fund exactly it'll wind up as a surplus people yeah yeah okay so the only other things we have the arms I need a motion for you all to authorize oh yeah sign this word okay you made the motion I'm making a motion for you to sign this yes for Gina for our town administrator to sign the consideration of public assistance subrecipient recipient grant agreement is it um but is it actually to authorize her to sign the public assistance subrecipient grant as opposed to consideration of yeah you can eliminate the consider oh all second any further discussion all those in favor please say aye aye okay the eyes appear to have they do have it so the next thing is warrants warrants which i have right here um as I pass these around we could go over the down administrative report we also have some other business um the TA report um I will be well no one will really be in the office more than likely on Monday before me um and then I'm also out on Monday April 14th um the town office will be closed on eclipse day on Monday uh week from today for obvious reasons as you know things are so much just closing on that day and just didn't seem prudent for employees to be uh trying this is a day off for people to be working from home it's it will be it is up to so the office is closed to the general public if employees want to come in and work they're welcome to do so or they can choose to take a vacation day okay um make sense the town office server was replaced on Friday um successfully haven't had too many bugs just a few that we've been working through so we are operating on a new server at this point now which is great um there have been three permanent applications since your last meeting you can see there and then I haven't gotten any information from the fire department yet but you're scheduled to have a meeting with them on April 11th that's right I won't figure for that is there is somebody I could be able to go to that I always had a board meeting for a nonprofit and that the second Thursday of every month so I can never make this should be my procedure we'll just move to next week so I might be a little we'll see okay anybody else I was putting on the Tom razor will probably be oh yeah Tom yeah Kyle you're going to the me on yeah I can go yeah good okay um breast and okay so on other business you want to do the animal control officer Kyle discussion yes I moved to appoint John Boucher as second animal control officer oh second we have a second from Zoe she did first any further discussion all those in favor please say aye all right and then the other business I was going to ask Gina about the hours for the part-time road crew person to still what's that it's a conversation we need that yeah because I don't even know why we have we've never had part-time help putting so many hours in the winter never I don't know I mean that wasn't an extremely busy winter for icy roads or whatever so I'm not really sure what's going on you would already said to him that'd be 24 hours or less now he's 32 hours a week regular basis that sounds like a full-time employee I'm not sure what's going on and I know it's going to be working us hot on our budget for labor so anyway I appreciate you being on top of it yeah well thank you me too I just I go over the payroll it's like oh oh oh you know and it hasn't been like other people have been sick they haven't you know everyone I always had a few hours being sick but uh Ken is back to work I mean he's been right there he's only had a few sick hours he was a person we're concerned about just that's some health issues earlier in the season about is he's back to work so and they did a great job on the road last week actually so anyway that was just my question all the success goes um anything else so I will call all what is the I guess you can email us all with whether she just accepts it well I can't really do an email because that's what that's then that's a meeting I'll just have to text each one like I did okay I can't I can't have a meeting right now you can you can email out information to people it's just if we reply all the problem oh you can reply to me individually yes okay that's what we'd like to have information yeah I as I want you to have you know as Zoe always says do not reply all to all no she says oh I just made a mistake she says I put reply off and then she says I reply so you can tell us anything yeah there's no reason for us to reply we would just like to report well you can reply but reply individually yeah okay we got that straight perfect yeah anything else motion to adjourn we have a second second we have a second all the favor please say hi all right I really have it they do have it
