 I'm Christine Deschler, I'm chair of the Allington Finance Committee, and I hereby convene the April 24, 2023 meeting of the Allington Finance Committee. This is a hybrid meeting, so let me go through the procedures to make sure that everyone can hear and participate, should participate. First I'll do a roll call and for members and staff, when I call your name please respond in the affirmative, starting with Jordan, Shane, and you're remote, Jennifer, Sophie, Brian, Marilyn, here, and remote, Rebecca, here, Josh, Grant, Charlie, here, John, Daryl, here, Annie, here, Al Jones, Tofer, Peggy, here, Al Tosti, Dean Karman, and Josh LaBelle, here, let me do the script real quick. On March 29, 2023, Governor Philly signed into law a supplemental budget bill which, among other things, extends the temporary provisions of the open meeting law to March 31, 2025. Specifically, this further extension allows public bodies to continue holding meetings remotely without a form of the body physically present at a meeting location so long as adequate alternative access to the deliberations that the meeting is provided to the public. Added an adequate alternative access to Zoom video conferencing this evening tonight. Ensuring public access does not ensure public comment or public participation. This meeting will not feature public comment, those wishing to provide comments may be disturbed by feeling. Our executive secretary, Tara Bradley at tbrallyatown.onit.ma.us. Please note that this meeting is being recorded accordingly. Be aware that others may be able to see you and take care not to screen share your computer for those who are attending remotely. Anything that you broadcast may be captured by the recording. All supporting materials have been provided members of this body or available on the town's website. Unless otherwise noted the public is encouraged to follow along using the posted agenda unless the chair notes otherwise. The share will introduce each speaker and then we'll recognize members wishing to provide any comment questions or motions please hold until your name is called remember to mute your phone or computer when you are not speaking. Remember to speak clearly one way that helps generate accurate minutes and all votes taken in this meeting will be by roll call. And I also want to confirm that our executive secretary Tara is in attendance here and so he joined as well. And she is participating remotely. Can you hear us Sophie. Yes. Okay. All right. This will be a quick meeting because we really don't have much to cover we don't have minutes ready from our last meeting. We'll probably hopefully get to them on Wednesday night. I hope everyone has a copy of the finance committee report. And there are two mistakes that happened. Excuse me I'll set those three. One is article 47, 47 to vote on paragraph 10 indemnification of the cost is not 12,035 it's 10,000. I'm sure 10,000. 8802. We have the right number in appendix C. That is one and that's really the only substantive the other one is. Yes. This is on a consent agenda. Yeah, so you need to correct that. And then the other one is article 43. The vote is correct on article 43. It's just that when we were typing wording. And we changed it. We pasted article 42, which is soars and sewer facilities. And we pasted that into article 43 and didn't change. Water. Mains and water facilities. But the voting is correct. Just those two words. Yeah. So it should be sewer mains and sewer facilities. It should be on article 43. It should be water mains and water facilities. It should be water mains and water facilities. That's what it is. In the article language, not the. The vote is correct. It's that just. The article. So this should be. Oh, there it is. Water. Okay, so the, the motion is correct. Yes. Just in case someone asks or points it out. That's correct. That's, that's a no consequences to both that's. Townsend's vote that. Um, Annie have we confirmed minute by minute man would be ready to present. Last year they contacted the moderator directly. I will check. Um, I think Sandy was talking about. Yeah. Eight or something. Six or eight, but can you confirm that? Yep. All right. And the composting people. Are we expecting to have. Something to tell me. Yes. At this point it's. On them. Ready. For. And they were supposed to be in touch with. I can check with Dean or Jennifer. Or Carolyn about. They were the last people to email. About whether the kids know like sort of approximately under art. We can probably send a prediction. That's okay. Jennifer Carolyn. Do you know anything more about the composting people? I haven't reconnected to them. I know. I know it says it's fairly late in the agenda. I don't know. Yeah. I'm sorry. Just follow up with them and let them know how this goes. Yeah. And when they need to be ready. No. All right. So we will meet Wednesday here. I don't know if that other than the men's, but we'll see. And at some point when we're meeting. Sort of, I want to spend some time at one of our meetings before Tom. Tom meeting to follow up on the various ideas that we've had. This season that we want to follow up on. Like. Moving the council on aging out of an enterprise fund. I think there were some. Some other issues. That came up that people said, well, maybe we need to follow up on this. So I like to have an opportunity to discuss those things and see if we can. It volunteers to, to do some, some of the work. Prioritize to see what people want to concentrate on. So give that some thought and talk about it. And then other than that. I don't have anything else as anyone. I just have a good question. That's okay. So I believe the clarification came out that we do not burn. The yard waste. And that is indeed composted. Indeed. That was my part. He actually. He didn't confirm the place. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But when I sent him that direct question, he answered it directly. So. Yeah. And one of the things I know. I haven't talking about is. Better reporting so that the information that we get from the town manager is a little bit. And a better place for us to cut down the back and forth. But that goes on for that. But we'll see what we can do about that. But I feel like that should be a. And I think Carolyn, you were talking about some water buys issues. That you want to follow up on and. And I know. Sophie, the disability commission continues to be. Something to talk about. So those are things that. And I think there are others if I go through my notes. So we can have a discussion about. Those things. Does anyone have anything else. Motion to return. So moved. Second. All in favor. All right. Thank you everyone.
