Was. Indivisible with 4 00:00:29,66 --> 00:00:31,29 liberty and justice for. 5 00:00:36,36 --> 00:00:38,10 Approval of agenda I make 6 00:00:38,11 --> 00:00:44,40 a motion we approve the agenda it is written. To be what you mean simply to say. 7 00:00:45,91 --> 00:00:47,09 So within just 8 00:00:47,20 --> 00:00:55,24 a long time since we moved like we had been living I don't. Want 9 00:00:55,25 --> 00:01:01,30 to move on and I talk about what we want to talk about leave. The belly right 10 00:01:02,16 --> 00:01:02,64 now and that's 11 00:01:02,65 --> 00:01:12,18 a couple. Of them second with the removal of item two. And 12 00:01:12,19 --> 00:01:17,45 I were having. Second thoughts. On Favre. 13 00:01:19,73 --> 00:01:26,29 Approval of the minutes of the last meeting this week. For the mess of the last 14 00:01:26,30 --> 00:01:32,13 meeting I make the most we approve the minutes of the last meeting is written. I'll 15 00:01:32,14 --> 00:01:35,95 second that on Favre. Signing on to our. 16 00:02:34,70 --> 00:02:37,32 The end of all business people Committee report. 17 00:02:41,68 --> 00:02:47,38 We got the annual report for Metro Castillo the figures were as of December thirty 18 00:02:47,39 --> 00:02:49,85 first and we had 19 00:02:49,89 --> 00:02:55,94 a nineteen percent increase from drivers which was one hundred ninety one bring it 20 00:02:55,95 --> 00:02:59,62 to a total of nine hundred eighty subscribers in Athens so that's 21 00:02:59,63 --> 00:03:05,75 a pretty significant increase and this was as of December thirty first of last year 22 00:03:06,01 --> 00:03:12,05 so. It'll be interesting to see what it does this year we had had conversation with 23 00:03:12,43 --> 00:03:12,80 they had 24 00:03:12,81 --> 00:03:16,91 a rate increase whether people are going to switch over to satellite but it appears 25 00:03:16,92 --> 00:03:23,01 that that's not the case which is good. Tonight is the first night that we're 26 00:03:23,02 --> 00:03:27,70 trying out some new equipment the thing next to the camera and then there's another 27 00:03:27,71 --> 00:03:33,49 one in the corner over by the studio and that gives us the ability to cable cast 28 00:03:33,50 --> 00:03:38,54 a live it is not live tonight but it is definitely 29 00:03:38,55 --> 00:03:43,63 a big step in the. Right direction to get us there if this is like 30 00:03:43,64 --> 00:03:49,35 a test run. And then if this works then the Sputnik community will be able to air 31 00:03:49,42 --> 00:03:54,79 live and then they will be repeated because they'll be reported at the same time so 32 00:03:54,79 --> 00:04:01,70 that's good news. I think you if anybody looks at the website. We 33 00:04:01,71 --> 00:04:08,15 are completely up and running now every week we're adding you know the 34 00:04:08,35 --> 00:04:13,45 previous week. Video of the flight meeting was 35 00:04:13,46 --> 00:04:17,29 a minute and that seems to be working pretty well we have Jennifer I haven't had 36 00:04:17,30 --> 00:04:22,22 any complaints yet so I think that that's working out Ted is still looking into 37 00:04:22,23 --> 00:04:28,53 some alternative file extension type that would be smaller and five but not too 38 00:04:28,54 --> 00:04:34,77 poor quality to do anybody any good. The other thing was that I did get 39 00:04:34,78 --> 00:04:38,69 a message from. My Corey that he wanted to do 40 00:04:38,70 --> 00:04:45,45 a commercial for Channel twenty six. For the upcoming school vote and I talked 41 00:04:45,46 --> 00:04:50,24 to the printer and have the tonight just about you know the policy so. 42 00:04:52,78 --> 00:04:57,54 We can do it in four informative promotional you just so much when the complex and 43 00:04:57,55 --> 00:05:03,11 people wanted to do and. Put information on the channel that was against the comp 44 00:05:03,12 --> 00:05:07,41 plan that you know you don't you can't show one side or the other so much for 45 00:05:07,42 --> 00:05:13,94 having to wear that and definitely keep an eye on that coming up through and when 46 00:05:13,95 --> 00:05:16,60 you want to get the final product if we do in fact get 47 00:05:16,61 --> 00:05:21,68 a final product that it may not happen you know then we'll check it from there 48 00:05:22,51 --> 00:05:26,33 that's what I think those are going to be any of the other board meetings that are 49 00:05:26,34 --> 00:05:30,72 able to be viewed on the Web site or is it just the permits just like meeting. 50 00:05:34,83 --> 00:05:38,13 Where you are only able to sell more than finance wrote Committee and 51 00:05:38,14 --> 00:05:44,39 a lot and meetings right now. We could put them on the website but it's 52 00:05:44,40 --> 00:05:48,87 a big issue and that's why I tell you that the alternative file extensions for 53 00:05:48,88 --> 00:05:53,01 smaller file types because if we could cut the size down and we could offer it for 54 00:05:53,02 --> 00:05:57,24 more of the the committee. To test thank you. 55 00:06:00,10 --> 00:06:04,48 OK We're going to be going into an executive session so I want to change emotion 56 00:06:04,58 --> 00:06:11,38 under Title thirty six eight forty one I make that decision her own 57 00:06:11,39 --> 00:06:13,73 favor. That. 58 00:06:25,29 --> 00:06:29,48 Prince Harry. Is going to. 59 00:06:33,42 --> 00:06:33,63 Make 60 00:06:33,64 --> 00:06:37,40 a motion to actually check it it's like the session for two to ten or thirty six 61 00:06:37,95 --> 00:06:38,68 eight twenty one 62 00:06:38,72 --> 00:06:45,49 a second on favor. And this is echoed at 63 00:06:45,50 --> 00:06:50,85 session by Title thirty six eight forty one a we have issued and agreed on 64 00:06:50,86 --> 00:06:55,46 a poverty abatement three thousand three hundred two dollars and thirty eight 65 00:06:55,47 --> 00:07:00,01 section. Right here and right. 66 00:07:02,94 --> 00:07:07,46 OK we've eliminated number two number three is about the school budget date for the 67 00:07:07,47 --> 00:07:12,51 upcoming election. School budget date for the upcoming election. 68 00:07:15,95 --> 00:07:21,39 Basically we are looking to have the referendum part of that in the same day as the 69 00:07:21,40 --> 00:07:28,37 town election on was they can. Do it June eighth. And that's 70 00:07:28,38 --> 00:07:33,74 the reference you pretty much the other part of that can be done it's almost any 71 00:07:33,75 --> 00:07:39,08 time they want to do it but it'll save us. Money you know not having to do an 72 00:07:39,09 --> 00:07:44,71 additional election do we have any sauce the only thought that I have are that. 73 00:07:46,73 --> 00:07:51,38 Just as we enter the so I Ford I agreed you have the authority to set the date that 74 00:07:51,39 --> 00:07:53,07 we have or not 75 00:07:53,11 --> 00:07:56,72 a letter from the enemy saying that that is our right that there is nothing more 76 00:07:56,73 --> 00:08:01,63 and we do have the ability to decide when to go forward the only concern I have is 77 00:08:01,64 --> 00:08:06,81 that if it goes forward on June eighth and it were to sail that that is putting out 78 00:08:06,82 --> 00:08:08,48 of us at risk of not having 79 00:08:08,49 --> 00:08:13,71 a school budget in place by July first and that is complicated that is my only 80 00:08:13,72 --> 00:08:20,67 concern with putting it off. I think we can argue that perhaps with 81 00:08:21,96 --> 00:08:25,27 education and constant conversation the school budget will have 82 00:08:25,31 --> 00:08:28,90 a better chance of passing through on the second vote but it does feel 83 00:08:28,91 --> 00:08:34,27 a little risky. But I also can recognise that fifteen hundred dollars every time we 84 00:08:34,28 --> 00:08:37,82 have a referendum is expensive and that we don't have 85 00:08:37,83 --> 00:08:42,72 a budget for to have this happen repeatedly but I guess that the concern of going 86 00:08:42,73 --> 00:08:49,60 into July first of no budget is large well as I stated 87 00:08:49,61 --> 00:08:56,24 to. The last week we would before. The I felt the 88 00:08:56,64 --> 00:08:56,84 from 89 00:08:56,85 --> 00:09:03,51 a financial. Point of view that it would be the best interest of the time to do it 90 00:09:03,52 --> 00:09:10,51 all done. That Reisa. My concern is 91 00:09:10,52 --> 00:09:15,79 and I was worried about this so I called and I made today with the way the process 92 00:09:15,80 --> 00:09:16,83 goes you have to open 93 00:09:16,84 --> 00:09:21,42 a town meeting to do this what like we did last month and then you close the town 94 00:09:21,43 --> 00:09:25,84 meeting after the vote so I was concerned if we did that then you open your town 95 00:09:25,85 --> 00:09:31,08 meeting for the end you'll tell me you would have to come meetings open at the same 96 00:09:31,09 --> 00:09:36,03 time. I the attorney I'm sorry to get her name I was outside working which she 97 00:09:36,04 --> 00:09:41,71 called me back told me that it is legal you can do that but she said why would you 98 00:09:42,35 --> 00:09:47,74 her reason against it was the school consolidation vote or the. 99 00:09:49,24 --> 00:09:54,02 Referendum vote is done completely different than the state municipal elections you 100 00:09:54,03 --> 00:09:59,71 have different voting rules as far as when absentee ballots can go out how the 101 00:09:59,72 --> 00:10:03,26 ballots are counted and everything else so she said it would create 102 00:10:03,27 --> 00:10:08,13 a nightmare for the town clerk so she should just against it and said that she 103 00:10:08,14 --> 00:10:11,45 would be more than willing to explain that to Slotman if they would like to call 104 00:10:14,73 --> 00:10:20,87 Jennifer did mention that because of the scope of television on the absentee 105 00:10:20,88 --> 00:10:25,16 ballots are not available until seven days prior to the referendum as opposed to 106 00:10:25,17 --> 00:10:29,35 for the municipal and state elections Merivale I believe thirty days prior to that 107 00:10:29,36 --> 00:10:34,07 is something out to be considered. And article dialogue. 108 00:10:36,06 --> 00:10:37,27 As you say it was going to be 109 00:10:37,28 --> 00:10:42,02 a problem I did not ask I asked if I can you think Janet is able to handle anything 110 00:10:42,07 --> 00:10:48,07 she may not be right she's spoke to me as to the. Little pretty one of the 111 00:10:48,08 --> 00:10:54,85 envelopes and different things like unseasoned content with the state. How to 112 00:10:54,86 --> 00:11:01,73 differentiate between the school in the municipal and state with absentee ballots 113 00:11:02,31 --> 00:11:09,28 but it is workable. Mary Stan. I was 114 00:11:09,29 --> 00:11:13,10 a little taken aback when the war in finance didn't meet the test tonight negative 115 00:11:13,11 --> 00:11:13,28 it was 116 00:11:13,29 --> 00:11:17,31 a very last minute thing because I was up there kicking off and what we would have 117 00:11:17,32 --> 00:11:23,14 to tell them is that our ability will be way one in the negative so it's 118 00:11:23,15 --> 00:11:29,46 a decrease and if you decrease it sending four thousand three hundred let So we do 119 00:11:29,47 --> 00:11:34,22 go back and work on it we were able to bring the war in and up to 120 00:11:34,23 --> 00:11:41,19 a vote yesterday and so we were all set to go and it's really no reason to 121 00:11:41,20 --> 00:11:45,14 go against the school committee meeting like 122 00:11:45,15 --> 00:11:52,13 a slap in the face that. Well I don't think it's going 123 00:11:52,14 --> 00:11:58,11 against anybody we're just doing our job on keepin on saving some money my whole 124 00:11:58,12 --> 00:12:02,00 goal is to hope that the school budget passes the second time around I really hope 125 00:12:02,01 --> 00:12:06,12 but that's. I guess the school committee is thinking that it might not pass the 126 00:12:06,13 --> 00:12:10,24 first time the second time around and I hope it does and that would solve the whole 127 00:12:10,25 --> 00:12:15,96 thing with the nation Yes Richard Michelle My question is Where would you get your 128 00:12:15,97 --> 00:12:16,74 numbers if we don't have 129 00:12:16,75 --> 00:12:20,46 a budget place by July first where would you get your numbers to go to commitment 130 00:12:20,47 --> 00:12:27,29 with goals that this president is that goes back to the year before this budget 131 00:12:27,30 --> 00:12:32,54 until the passage vote is continued which correct but again I hope it passes the 132 00:12:32,55 --> 00:12:35,45 are trying to make this passage simply a measure of saving us 133 00:12:35,46 --> 00:12:38,08 a little bit of money was that as 134 00:12:38,09 --> 00:12:43,78 a point to get ahead if we don't pass the budget by July first if we if we do it by 135 00:12:43,79 --> 00:12:47,02 the time schedule that the board is laid out we would have 136 00:12:47,03 --> 00:12:53,05 a third chance if it doesn't pass to get it in July for us and if we wait till June 137 00:12:53,37 --> 00:12:59,56 we would have that opportunity but. We're going to the referendum specifically 138 00:12:59,57 --> 00:13:05,98 because the consolidation law required as I should do so but it also says that if 139 00:13:05,99 --> 00:13:10,25 we don't have that budget put together by again the fiscal year we go back to last 140 00:13:10,26 --> 00:13:14,51 approved budget National Review which is actually slightly higher than the the the 141 00:13:14,52 --> 00:13:17,04 budget we're putting forth now through. 142 00:13:23,01 --> 00:13:26,45 I don't think the budget will be voted down this time because if it isn't and we go 143 00:13:26,46 --> 00:13:31,13 back to the old budget it would actually be more than we're asking for this year so 144 00:13:31,20 --> 00:13:34,68 it would be my hope that the townspeople would vote for the budget that we've 145 00:13:34,69 --> 00:13:35,95 submitted because we have got to be 146 00:13:35,96 --> 00:13:42,68 a vote My other concern is. A majority of voters enact and just voted to keep the 147 00:13:42,69 --> 00:13:46,26 referendum for three more years which means they want to keep it separate from the 148 00:13:46,27 --> 00:13:52,08 town meetings and by having this part of the town meeting system you're going 149 00:13:52,09 --> 00:13:55,61 against what they just voted on I would have been really happy to see them vote 150 00:13:55,62 --> 00:13:59,60 this referendum down and go back to the town meeting system save the money that 151 00:13:59,61 --> 00:14:03,29 you're talking about but that's not what the voters are vast active ask you to do. 152 00:14:05,01 --> 00:14:10,22 I'm sorry to I guess well you're bringing it you're take and keep it instead of 153 00:14:10,23 --> 00:14:14,17 keeping it separate and paying for the referendum meeting you're trying to tie it 154 00:14:14,18 --> 00:14:19,19 into the town meeting in order to save money and by doing that as I said before 155 00:14:19,41 --> 00:14:23,04 you're causing problems for the town clerk and the people accountable to anybody 156 00:14:23,05 --> 00:14:28,34 else and that can be fixed it could be done but it's there's no need for it but as 157 00:14:28,38 --> 00:14:31,96 you know when the town voted the referendum in they didn't want to be part of the 158 00:14:31,97 --> 00:14:36,06 town vote and by doing this on the same day you have 159 00:14:36,07 --> 00:14:40,46 a whole other election involved and she said we could actually go back to having 160 00:14:40,47 --> 00:14:44,93 the town meeting for the school board with the town meeting if we switched it 161 00:14:44,94 --> 00:14:48,40 around from what we're doing now instead of having the town meeting after divorce 162 00:14:48,69 --> 00:14:52,60 if we had the time and before the vote we could do the school committee meeting and 163 00:14:52,61 --> 00:14:56,29 the town meeting and then have the vote afterwards and then you could take lots of 164 00:14:56,30 --> 00:15:02,49 money those kind of like. You use that retains to our. 165 00:15:04,68 --> 00:15:06,72 Election days to match up with 166 00:15:06,73 --> 00:15:12,29 a state representative you know we mix them together and present them with see this 167 00:15:12,30 --> 00:15:12,54 was 168 00:15:12,55 --> 00:15:20,43 a. OK You know when the point you make and. It's 169 00:15:20,44 --> 00:15:24,06 these as a referendum vote the point is they were for the time wants 170 00:15:24,07 --> 00:15:25,10 a referendum still 171 00:15:25,11 --> 00:15:30,01 a referendum and you know at the same time the school. Town Meeting is still 172 00:15:30,02 --> 00:15:34,52 separate still being voted on by Rep what the actual town meeting is yes but yes 173 00:15:34,53 --> 00:15:38,81 the but the vote which goes in there all the voting that day demand referendum is 174 00:15:38,82 --> 00:15:43,43 the school but is supposed to have the town meeting and it be voted on separately I 175 00:15:43,44 --> 00:15:47,89 mean it's OK to tie them to the vote you say it's perfectly legal but I just I have 176 00:15:47,90 --> 00:15:51,36 a concern that you're going against what the people voted for and I may be wrong 177 00:15:52,23 --> 00:15:56,01 but my feeling is if they vote for the referendum then they want to be done the way 178 00:15:56,02 --> 00:15:59,65 we did it in April and not tied in with the tally Thank you. 179 00:16:05,89 --> 00:16:12,82 Shane Acton school committee. I think well when you look at the big picture of 180 00:16:12,86 --> 00:16:19,08 everything that we're looking at. In regard to the possibility that it might not 181 00:16:19,09 --> 00:16:22,01 pass the second time and that we might not have 182 00:16:22,02 --> 00:16:24,84 a budget by July first while that isn't 183 00:16:24,85 --> 00:16:29,84 a really big deal for the school system because we'll keep on going it could get to 184 00:16:29,85 --> 00:16:33,36 be a big deal when you get ready to to try to go to commitment and not have 185 00:16:33,40 --> 00:16:37,63 a school budget in place the other thing is I think we need to look at is that 186 00:16:37,94 --> 00:16:40,78 because in what you want to save money this is not 187 00:16:40,79 --> 00:16:46,44 a large amount of money for the town and I'm sure it's in the budget in the town 188 00:16:46,45 --> 00:16:48,80 clerk spider and it's not 189 00:16:48,81 --> 00:16:52,70 a large amount of money if you're talking like five to ten thousand dollars but 190 00:16:52,71 --> 00:16:57,57 you're talking you know less than two thousand dollars and it's probably going to 191 00:16:57,58 --> 00:17:02,59 be more costly if you try to put the two of them together because without clerks 192 00:17:02,60 --> 00:17:05,36 are going to be you know camping out here over many. 193 00:17:14,23 --> 00:17:21,20 Of our strong. Belief is that. It's going to cost the town close to fifteen hundred 194 00:17:21,21 --> 00:17:26,94 dollars if we have to have another ball and 195 00:17:29,28 --> 00:17:34,56 if the school department wants to ensure the fact that we don't have another vote. 196 00:17:35,67 --> 00:17:40,82 All they've got to do is cut the budget enough so that they know it'll pass and 197 00:17:40,83 --> 00:17:45,89 right now they're gambling as if I was the additional work for the town clerk is 198 00:17:45,90 --> 00:17:51,89 concerned she could hire two or even three more people to help her with that 199 00:17:51,90 --> 00:17:56,33 project and the cost would be far less than the fifteen hundred dollars 200 00:18:02,08 --> 00:18:08,00 and you for the question that comes. Treaty Sculley that's 201 00:18:08,01 --> 00:18:12,48 a concern about saving money I would just like some justification as to how the 202 00:18:12,49 --> 00:18:14,69 selectmen and I want to find it from a kind of true 203 00:18:14,70 --> 00:18:18,62 a certain three percent increase for select land and people who work in 204 00:18:18,63 --> 00:18:25,21 a town office that hasn't happened since the. Didn't want Finance Committee very 205 00:18:25,22 --> 00:18:29,50 balanced going to be on the warrant on the count going to be voting for another 206 00:18:29,51 --> 00:18:35,71 thirty three percent what is the impetus for the Selectmen to bring them up to the 207 00:18:35,72 --> 00:18:38,97 level they're supposed to be at or where they used to be at and to bring the 208 00:18:38,98 --> 00:18:45,51 councilor up to where she used to be at what is that increase we 209 00:18:46,85 --> 00:18:53,81 again member the percentages for the. Book itself and the help is not certain 210 00:18:53,82 --> 00:19:00,46 for you it's more like three to five depending on the stuff but selectmen anyone 211 00:19:00,47 --> 00:19:03,95 financially can justify that yeah I asked the teachers to take 212 00:19:03,99 --> 00:19:05,49 a three percent because I just like 213 00:19:05,50 --> 00:19:11,02 a little understanding of how trying to save money yet you want more money I don't 214 00:19:11,40 --> 00:19:17,88 I don't get where the equality is. Can someone help me out here one 215 00:19:17,89 --> 00:19:23,28 financially flexible with Islam and have been uprooted and you have 216 00:19:23,29 --> 00:19:30,24 a larger. And. And she's already broke her 217 00:19:30,35 --> 00:19:37,33 leg. So the spine. There weren't Finance Committee did recommend the 218 00:19:37,57 --> 00:19:41,08 budget that was put forward to the municipal government the selectmen have not yet 219 00:19:41,09 --> 00:19:45,62 made our recommendations will be doing that next week. And perhaps your question 220 00:19:45,63 --> 00:19:50,03 could be better answered than when we had official recommendations on the book OK 221 00:19:50,12 --> 00:19:51,43 something like a story of 222 00:19:51,44 --> 00:19:57,58 a warmer climate last May recommendation yes or no fury 223 00:19:58,38 --> 00:20:02,68 Monday night's meeting the word Finance Committee voted five to one to recommend to 224 00:20:02,84 --> 00:20:09,59 approve the articles pertaining to municipal government isn't always but just the 225 00:20:09,60 --> 00:20:16,28 article pertaining to you. And any where we have done Florida is 226 00:20:16,29 --> 00:20:22,90 still subject to change nothing is written in stone. That 227 00:20:22,91 --> 00:20:26,25 assigned to hush and my understanding from London and meeting was that there were 228 00:20:26,26 --> 00:20:30,98 certain articles that you voted to postpone here workshops there are other articles 229 00:20:30,99 --> 00:20:36,32 that you did make your official recommendations on and. There's no doubt those can 230 00:20:36,33 --> 00:20:42,45 not be brought back for more discussion of why the is long just brought back by 231 00:20:42,46 --> 00:20:48,49 someone who voted for it in the affirmative. So we will have we will have 232 00:20:48,92 --> 00:20:54,18 finished voting for both the war and Finance Committee and the select board by next 233 00:20:54,19 --> 00:20:59,16 Thursday. So all of the children of acid are going to have 234 00:20:59,17 --> 00:21:04,10 a negative increase and the town's going to have approximately probably two hundred 235 00:21:04,11 --> 00:21:08,30 eighty six thousand dollars increase that threat we will not know until next week 236 00:21:08,45 --> 00:21:15,02 OK. I get 237 00:21:15,03 --> 00:21:21,87 a break here and my question would be directed to the forewarn Finance 238 00:21:21,88 --> 00:21:26,57 Committee members that did not show up at the public school meeting is this going 239 00:21:26,58 --> 00:21:31,11 to create any type of confusion by combining the meetings as far as how you are 240 00:21:31,12 --> 00:21:38,06 going to attend because it seems to me that with the time 241 00:21:38,07 --> 00:21:44,08 with the hours of research that you did on the school budget it seemed awfully odd 242 00:21:44,09 --> 00:21:48,16 to me that only to warn the Finance Committee members attended the public meeting. 243 00:21:49,91 --> 00:21:54,60 If you'd like to respond to why they were not in the committee was not better 244 00:21:54,61 --> 00:22:00,48 represent take represented that would be great and do you intend on. 245 00:22:01,89 --> 00:22:06,64 Seeing this process throw and representing the warm Finance Committee as it should 246 00:22:06,65 --> 00:22:11,69 be represented at the school public meetings one second when is your next meeting 247 00:22:12,21 --> 00:22:16,24 you know OK Tuesday nights are time to go address the war and finance on that day 248 00:22:16,25 --> 00:22:21,98 so making the argument back then yes I mean very good night seven o'clock is the 249 00:22:21,99 --> 00:22:24,57 start time for the one time Committee meeting it will be here at the time. 250 00:22:29,17 --> 00:22:35,73 All right any further. So the date that we're voting will 251 00:22:35,74 --> 00:22:41,30 visit to the referendum vote for school rank and OK and we allow 252 00:22:41,31 --> 00:22:45,56 a school board to choose their own time meeting date based on the date that we look 253 00:22:45,56 --> 00:22:47,58 forward to the referendum or are we off with an event on 254 00:22:47,59 --> 00:22:52,28 a time just for that kind of selection they can probably do whatever they want to 255 00:22:52,29 --> 00:22:57,07 nap and study something anyway so they just leave them to live in the city with 256 00:22:57,08 --> 00:23:01,89 those were the days they would request from September to finish within the time of 257 00:23:01,90 --> 00:23:03,94 the day. Fitted 258 00:23:03,95 --> 00:23:09,57 a time for it. You know if it's an emotion. 259 00:23:10,94 --> 00:23:12,75 And we're going to cut the discussion up here we're going to do 260 00:23:12,76 --> 00:23:16,49 a motion right now please thank you and to turn motion or make 261 00:23:16,50 --> 00:23:22,89 a motion which at the referendum will produce the. Evidence 262 00:23:23,47 --> 00:23:25,66 OK I'll second that own favor 263 00:23:26,40 --> 00:23:33,08 a post that is true next. OK Going on to their 264 00:23:33,41 --> 00:23:40,18 reevaluation. To deal with them neatly and then tell me what this could 265 00:23:40,19 --> 00:23:44,53 be to do with the meetings they went to the week before they can do that jim beam 266 00:23:44,54 --> 00:23:49,81 of light we haven't heard from. Judy would you be on with that being said it can't 267 00:23:49,82 --> 00:23:51,11 eight discovered have 268 00:23:51,12 --> 00:23:59,51 a preference as to when the town meeting have to have. Their 269 00:23:59,51 --> 00:24:02,22 . Patients. 270 00:24:06,48 --> 00:24:07,27 Actually have 271 00:24:07,28 --> 00:24:18,51 a. Chance of. The 272 00:24:18,52 --> 00:24:23,82 law states that once the Tommies the legislative body has. 273 00:24:25,62 --> 00:24:31,57 Validated the budget debates within ten days you must have 274 00:24:31,58 --> 00:24:38,15 a preference about. Your meeting. With top European 275 00:24:38,16 --> 00:24:44,87 clergymen not the other not in school budget validation we had. 276 00:24:47,62 --> 00:24:53,09 We had that right here this was an immediate changes to the school budget 277 00:24:53,10 --> 00:24:58,45 validation referendum process. Which allows more flexibility in scheduling school 278 00:24:58,46 --> 00:25:03,36 budget validation votes and they've changed it from fourteen days after the open 279 00:25:03,37 --> 00:25:07,99 meeting vote or council vote. To within thirty days and what is 280 00:25:08,00 --> 00:25:13,57 a day this is just not this is the newest it's in this Monday April two thousand 281 00:25:13,58 --> 00:25:17,79 and ten so we're just you know what Emily was up we just you know this is what we 282 00:25:17,80 --> 00:25:22,63 went by as well but we. Checked with the M.M.A. 283 00:25:22,64 --> 00:25:27,97 On that they had this is what they gave us. And you want to be in the June eighth 284 00:25:27,98 --> 00:25:28,17 it's 285 00:25:28,21 --> 00:25:33,41 a kids' day that would make the first to stand well if you want to have time even 286 00:25:33,42 --> 00:25:37,24 if you don't see what the public meetings or past involved there's 287 00:25:37,25 --> 00:25:42,80 a much minimal cost to the river or opt out and got it right there off the ballot 288 00:25:42,81 --> 00:25:45,07 Clacton even ten and it is 289 00:25:45,08 --> 00:25:50,57 a very minimum cost if you want to have that on the first or do you wish to have it 290 00:25:50,58 --> 00:25:50,71 in 291 00:25:50,80 --> 00:25:57,88 a moment you and I will relate OK thanks for the time it was number one is no. One 292 00:25:57,89 --> 00:26:04,12 can go on to number four. Discussion about the town reevaluation we have 293 00:26:04,13 --> 00:26:07,58 a kind of an emergency situation that has arisen with 294 00:26:07,63 --> 00:26:12,57 a program that we use We're still in the middle of using two programs one of them 295 00:26:12,58 --> 00:26:16,98 is called Bright Side and the other one is trio and unfortunately the bright side 296 00:26:16,99 --> 00:26:22,32 program the individual that created this program has passed away unfortunately and 297 00:26:22,52 --> 00:26:27,41 the whole company pretty much stopped being in existence and there is no more 298 00:26:27,42 --> 00:26:33,67 service and no more. Support for this program at all so where's still in the middle 299 00:26:33,68 --> 00:26:38,45 of this program and Trio and right now this program is kind of disintegrating 300 00:26:38,46 --> 00:26:44,50 before our eyes it's not working correctly. It's causing print outs to have the 301 00:26:44,51 --> 00:26:46,85 wrong name to the wrong amounts and so forth so we have 302 00:26:46,86 --> 00:26:51,74 a situation where and we've met with our assessor again that we must do 303 00:26:51,78 --> 00:26:57,65 a full reevaluation in order to get the proper numbers into trio. If this bright 304 00:26:57,66 --> 00:27:03,22 side program doesn't crash we're in trouble the whole town just stops we can't you 305 00:27:03,23 --> 00:27:07,93 just can't print out tax bills we can't do anything so it's 306 00:27:07,94 --> 00:27:14,89 a situation that we did not want to happen and. Unfortunately we the only way 307 00:27:14,90 --> 00:27:19,96 to solve this that would be evaluation so let me go if you will be tougher and more 308 00:27:19,97 --> 00:27:20,50 in depth with 309 00:27:20,51 --> 00:27:25,62 a woman Finance Committee Tuesday night little yes any comment on that. 310 00:27:28,76 --> 00:27:34,87 And the comment would be that if you are assessing is. Pulling your hair out of the 311 00:27:34,88 --> 00:27:40,35 program. The town clerk is concerned as far as tackling is concerned. 312 00:27:42,59 --> 00:27:48,29 A rebound does in my opinion at this point need to get moving forward we will not 313 00:27:48,30 --> 00:27:50,57 be however stranded we have 314 00:27:51,21 --> 00:27:54,68 a couple of options before on the far as getting out of building should the system 315 00:27:54,69 --> 00:27:59,19 completely crash before we get there we have spoken to 316 00:27:59,23 --> 00:28:04,27 a trio trio of the software system that we use for all of them here the town hall 317 00:28:04,56 --> 00:28:04,86 and 318 00:28:04,87 --> 00:28:10,14 a lot of other municipalities in the state unit as well including Alford and one of 319 00:28:10,15 --> 00:28:15,64 the options that we have to carry and through until the rebound is passed through 320 00:28:15,68 --> 00:28:20,58 and even once it's if it passes in June time meeting it still is going to take many 321 00:28:20,59 --> 00:28:25,07 months before any of the figures are actually gathered and do calculating tables 322 00:28:25,08 --> 00:28:29,42 have been created to be used in trio were so we still have to get through another 323 00:28:29,43 --> 00:28:30,86 billing cycle with 324 00:28:30,87 --> 00:28:35,44 a very good possibility the bright side our current program will have completely 325 00:28:35,48 --> 00:28:42,35 given up so one of the suggestions from. The trio support people was that we 326 00:28:42,36 --> 00:28:47,52 borrow the calculating tables from Alfred Alfred is similar to us in many ways they 327 00:28:47,53 --> 00:28:52,08 use the Treo program and if we were to borrow their calculating tables and what 328 00:28:52,09 --> 00:28:57,11 that means is that within the software there are tables that the assessor create 329 00:28:57,37 --> 00:29:00,81 that they tell you go into a new house built and then say it's 330 00:29:00,82 --> 00:29:03,48 a two hundred two thousand square foot house on 331 00:29:03,49 --> 00:29:09,37 a two acre lot it has two bathrooms one fireplace hardwood floor and the tables at 332 00:29:09,38 --> 00:29:13,31 the intersection creating the software program the assessor puts all of that 333 00:29:13,32 --> 00:29:18,85 information in and the table say well we sat two acres at twenty thousand dollars 334 00:29:18,86 --> 00:29:23,26 and we assessed each bedroom at this many dollars and it spits out the assessment 335 00:29:23,27 --> 00:29:28,80 for the out and just those tables are important because the whole basis of property 336 00:29:28,81 --> 00:29:32,88 taxation is that it's equal and fair that everyone's being 337 00:29:33,01 --> 00:29:38,65 a stack to pay rate for each thing so if we borrow Alfred's tables and had them put 338 00:29:38,66 --> 00:29:39,10 into 339 00:29:39,14 --> 00:29:44,56 a trio here in Acton we could get our. Through billing system so it's I think I'm 340 00:29:44,57 --> 00:29:49,61 not panicked even though the right side is collapsing around us it is corrupting to 341 00:29:49,62 --> 00:29:54,29 the point where it is becoming unusable we do have options to carry us through but 342 00:29:54,30 --> 00:29:58,71 I've read about getting that voted in in June and so that we can start that process 343 00:29:58,77 --> 00:30:04,80 so that for next year for two thousand and eleven billing period we'll be well on 344 00:30:04,84 --> 00:30:09,93 route to getting that done but this year is going to be sticky it's going to be 345 00:30:09,94 --> 00:30:13,60 difficult and one of the things that I want to get on there now is that if the 346 00:30:13,61 --> 00:30:18,16 program fails completely and we do end up needing to borrow tables from Alfred 347 00:30:18,71 --> 00:30:20,40 everyone tax bills are going to look 348 00:30:20,41 --> 00:30:23,85 a little different this year than they did last year but the thing to remember is 349 00:30:23,86 --> 00:30:26,98 that every one bill is going to look different and they're all going to look 350 00:30:26,99 --> 00:30:31,94 different at the same on to the in the same percentage up or down so taxation 351 00:30:31,95 --> 00:30:34,55 remains equal and fair it's just 352 00:30:34,56 --> 00:30:38,59 a baby look different says I'm start getting that message out there now and part of 353 00:30:38,60 --> 00:30:43,75 the conversation I think that is important if you Chairman so I can just float full 354 00:30:43,76 --> 00:30:50,41 size. Or form here and I know this isn't Tell me there but I do less feel 355 00:30:50,42 --> 00:30:56,70 support for the revaluation I know spend with all the both before them voted down 356 00:30:57,27 --> 00:30:59,56 what is definitely needed sequels 357 00:30:59,60 --> 00:31:05,82 a system is is in trouble big trouble. Nancy and G.M. 358 00:31:06,16 --> 00:31:10,30 Will reveal who will fall on the flop when you know the spot what talking about. 359 00:31:12,17 --> 00:31:17,04 And the recommend to put in the all four tables which we can do if we have to do 360 00:31:17,05 --> 00:31:23,31 this without for the small that I'm after this year maybe. Then the townspeople 361 00:31:23,32 --> 00:31:24,15 would still is 362 00:31:24,16 --> 00:31:31,08 a very I'm happy to be assessed with all four style tables instead of our Rome 363 00:31:31,58 --> 00:31:37,28 for really I really encourage everyone here to please follow this revaluation of 364 00:31:37,29 --> 00:31:38,59 the stuff so we can get 365 00:31:38,60 --> 00:31:45,50 a zero thank you. Thank you one of the other ideas we have to define is to finance 366 00:31:45,51 --> 00:31:51,14 this. Over a five year period so it won't hit us all at once in one lump sums it's 367 00:31:51,15 --> 00:31:53,31 a bad time for that but we have like 368 00:31:53,32 --> 00:31:58,52 a two point four seven percent interest rate from my stance and institutes 369 00:31:58,53 --> 00:32:01,82 a pretty good interest rate would on them we'd be paying fifty five thousand 370 00:32:01,83 --> 00:32:02,13 dollars 371 00:32:02,14 --> 00:32:06,73 a year instead of the whole to sixty at once that's another option on the table to 372 00:32:06,77 --> 00:32:13,06 that we need to discuss. OK. Number five 373 00:32:13,07 --> 00:32:19,60 libraries for folks. As a. Couple of weeks ago or I guess about 374 00:32:19,61 --> 00:32:23,98 a month ago Mary Waterhouse came in with an estimate from perhaps even to fix 375 00:32:23,99 --> 00:32:27,45 a library floor anyone that goes and uses the library which I encourage all of you 376 00:32:27,46 --> 00:32:34,14 to do they're open this evening. But the floor it wait and if you walk 377 00:32:34,15 --> 00:32:40,59 across it too quickly the book fall off the shelf and it is it's in that state and 378 00:32:40,63 --> 00:32:44,25 it was not actually designed to be a library currently 379 00:32:44,26 --> 00:32:47,14 a library needs to have Florida that can withstand 380 00:32:47,15 --> 00:32:53,37 a hundred fifty pounds per square foot. Of live load or bridges I mean given that I 381 00:32:53,38 --> 00:32:56,21 don't actually know what I'm talking about charge structural engineering is 382 00:32:56,22 --> 00:33:02,41 concerned but. The floor was not designed for that and it needs to fix to 383 00:33:02,42 --> 00:33:04,59 accommodate that subject even Stayman with 384 00:33:04,60 --> 00:33:11,54 a very good estimate that was great but the discussion was that. We could 385 00:33:11,55 --> 00:33:11,73 have 386 00:33:11,74 --> 00:33:16,21 a structural engineer be part of this process so I called in Tom Bork that he is 387 00:33:16,22 --> 00:33:20,44 our mobile structural engineer and he said actually what I would recommend that you 388 00:33:20,45 --> 00:33:22,32 do is said to have 389 00:33:22,33 --> 00:33:27,95 a request for proposals put out for your contractors and this isn't going to read 390 00:33:27,96 --> 00:33:30,96 to you when you've e-mailed me over key things to get into 391 00:33:30,97 --> 00:33:36,25 a Request for Proposal our floor capacity to be or exceed one hundred fifty pounds 392 00:33:36,26 --> 00:33:39,08 per square foot live load also make the acceptance of 393 00:33:39,09 --> 00:33:41,98 a proposal subject to approval or modification by 394 00:33:41,99 --> 00:33:47,13 a main licensed structural engineer so his suggestion is that we instead of going 395 00:33:47,14 --> 00:33:50,50 out to bid because the project will be over four thousand dollars to do it that is 396 00:33:50,51 --> 00:33:54,70 going out to bid that we put out the request for proposal we get different 397 00:33:54,71 --> 00:33:59,43 contractors ideas about how they would fix the problem with the specs that we give 398 00:33:59,44 --> 00:34:03,41 them that those proposals come back in we take a look at them as 399 00:34:03,42 --> 00:34:07,72 a board and see which ones we think are best suited to us and then we meet with the 400 00:34:07,73 --> 00:34:11,69 structural. Engineer who will go over each proposal and tell us which ones the 401 00:34:11,70 --> 00:34:16,57 structural engineer thinks will most work and to the contractor with the help of 402 00:34:16,58 --> 00:34:20,60 the structural engineer to make sure the project is done properly Mary Waterhouse 403 00:34:20,61 --> 00:34:26,23 is working on grants as well to try to fund part of this project. At the library as 404 00:34:26,24 --> 00:34:29,69 a private organization they might be able to make that work so the the repair would 405 00:34:29,70 --> 00:34:33,84 not come in Harley had the tax burden of the citizenry and I just wanted to talk on 406 00:34:33,85 --> 00:34:38,84 the agenda tonight because if we're going to do this. I'd like to get it going and 407 00:34:39,00 --> 00:34:44,35 quickly as possible because if we need to in conjunction with Mary's grants also 408 00:34:44,36 --> 00:34:44,99 put forward 409 00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:49,20 a request for money from to the town we have until I believe ten days prior to the 410 00:34:49,21 --> 00:34:52,66 town meeting to get that on the warrant but I'd like to get it on the scene 411 00:34:52,70 --> 00:34:53,95 possible so for going to put out 412 00:34:53,96 --> 00:34:58,34 a request for proposals I wanted us to decide on that tonight that I could get that 413 00:34:58,35 --> 00:35:04,99 written up and we could send it out next week. There isn't one not just the 414 00:35:05,35 --> 00:35:10,89 one to not stop the process can we we we talked about this before we're going to 415 00:35:10,90 --> 00:35:15,61 put some money forward at the to the top. Because even if she does get 416 00:35:15,62 --> 00:35:21,09 a grant we can all that money will just be used if it's raising back in the general 417 00:35:21,10 --> 00:35:24,72 fund but with budgets important to get this done because like you said Bob So 418 00:35:24,73 --> 00:35:28,67 fallen off the shelves. To do do we put 419 00:35:28,68 --> 00:35:33,33 a warrant out of going in this warrant would say for four thousand dollars you know 420 00:35:33,37 --> 00:35:37,70 if it was over four thousand video output is the Catholic OK I have to be eight or 421 00:35:37,71 --> 00:35:42,73 your request for proposal by I'm home can we get this done quick enough to get some 422 00:35:42,74 --> 00:35:46,73 idea of how much it's going to be so we can maybe put it forward I think we can so 423 00:35:46,74 --> 00:35:52,73 we don't have to wait I think if we put out the request for proposal. Next week and 424 00:35:52,74 --> 00:35:54,11 we have it in the papers and we have 425 00:35:54,12 --> 00:35:58,52 a two week window on it that we have every proposal requests back to us by the 426 00:35:58,53 --> 00:36:04,99 middle of May If we see the range of figures that they're coming in at and say that 427 00:36:05,03 --> 00:36:08,99 they average out to twenty five thousand dollars apiece then we would be able to 428 00:36:09,00 --> 00:36:14,04 say OK we can pay for the motors are they willing to spend twenty five thousand 429 00:36:14,05 --> 00:36:20,83 dollars on repairing this building that's part of the Town Hall library and have 430 00:36:20,84 --> 00:36:25,32 the time to get on the board. That so it's good we're going. 431 00:36:28,39 --> 00:36:33,70 To get the house you ask what it would cost to the engineering Tang's office the 432 00:36:33,71 --> 00:36:37,35 engineer probably would be in the two thousand to three thousand dollars range I 433 00:36:37,36 --> 00:36:42,07 think is what the fact is what the engineering and the cost might we're. 434 00:36:44,19 --> 00:36:50,68 Yes. Sad to say yet but let's try to get some figures together and try to get the 435 00:36:50,69 --> 00:36:54,81 process going so maybe we can see this is part of possible government apparently 436 00:36:54,82 --> 00:36:59,04 writing up the question to emailing it to all of us and then getting into the main 437 00:36:59,05 --> 00:37:05,88 Senate to act. Right number six is going to be the comp plan 438 00:37:05,92 --> 00:37:12,71 not coming to balance. Mr Cash and. At 439 00:37:13,64 --> 00:37:17,94 the other night I don't remember who the word mind is Committee of the count 440 00:37:17,95 --> 00:37:22,11 meeting maybe it is in the hallway I don't remember but there's 441 00:37:22,12 --> 00:37:27,55 a certain amount of money that for. Four thousand or so left over in the. 442 00:37:29,20 --> 00:37:35,37 Comprehensive information. Account and he wanted that to be carried forward 443 00:37:36,34 --> 00:37:42,25 again. In case they needed coffees and the like that 444 00:37:44,38 --> 00:37:49,81 feel free to come out. I've got to pay for the time for tonight it's four thousand 445 00:37:49,82 --> 00:37:54,49 five hundred thirty seven dollars I have today and I think it also to cover 446 00:37:54,50 --> 00:37:59,03 secretarial costs for there they continue their meetings here till the vote in 447 00:37:59,04 --> 00:38:04,57 November. Thank you for. Considering this proposal tonight. 448 00:38:06,09 --> 00:38:07,66 When I came before your folks 449 00:38:07,67 --> 00:38:13,20 a couple of weeks ago the three points I was asking you to give fair consideration 450 00:38:13,21 --> 00:38:18,01 to were extending the appointments for the committee Intel November two thousand 451 00:38:18,02 --> 00:38:23,60 and ten because you have assigned this task as we understand it. 452 00:38:24,94 --> 00:38:27,44 To appear. On 453 00:38:27,45 --> 00:38:33,12 a weekly basis before the select is meeting and explain 454 00:38:33,78 --> 00:38:39,28 a certain segment of the zoning on its pertaining primarily to show in joining plan 455 00:38:39,29 --> 00:38:45,51 yours that we have folded in currently in the existing draft dated four five ten. 456 00:38:47,26 --> 00:38:54,16 That is in a publication now. We work for. About 457 00:38:54,20 --> 00:38:54,57 a year and 458 00:38:54,58 --> 00:39:01,16 a half folding in the state requirements into joining pertaining to life of the 459 00:39:01,17 --> 00:39:08,02 show and so this is not so much complicated Committee took this work. It's 460 00:39:08,06 --> 00:39:08,50 it's kind of 461 00:39:08,51 --> 00:39:14,83 a misnomer to call it come plan. Companies are planning for this big to come plan 462 00:39:14,84 --> 00:39:21,58 itself is done and it's been done for this is primarily show injunction. And the 463 00:39:21,59 --> 00:39:27,05 three points that I would ask you before to consider was to extend appointment of 464 00:39:27,06 --> 00:39:32,26 the committee number one Kerry for the unexpended balance of the committee in order 465 00:39:32,27 --> 00:39:38,64 to enable us to do our job by merrily that would cover. Copying expenses 466 00:39:38,91 --> 00:39:44,95 and consultation time was so the main regional planning and small non sequitur. 467 00:39:47,09 --> 00:39:52,68 And then the third point was to enable us to share cars pundits with us that comes 468 00:39:52,69 --> 00:39:55,26 into your office and I guess that this is 469 00:39:55,78 --> 00:40:01,71 a matter of discussion still. Pertain to questions and comments concerning 470 00:40:01,72 --> 00:40:06,11 a complaint on the show and zoning issues so that we may dredge has been 471 00:40:06,12 --> 00:40:11,82 a time when the public forum. Absent 472 00:40:11,83 --> 00:40:15,59 a vision thank you for considering Thank you. 473 00:40:21,44 --> 00:40:28,18 For your words I believe that on Monday night they want Finance Committee dish that 474 00:40:28,19 --> 00:40:28,73 they provide 475 00:40:28,74 --> 00:40:34,67 a quote from the i Pod plant it was on our workshops as well certainly you know so 476 00:40:34,84 --> 00:40:39,79 I think whatever folks should be helped after we can meet on the street 477 00:40:44,54 --> 00:40:48,79 sounds fair enough what we with their recommendation is and go from there and women 478 00:40:48,80 --> 00:40:55,26 fine and then hey that's me OK so I'm going to. Break 479 00:40:55,54 --> 00:41:01,56 seven special road projects. For The Night 480 00:41:03,01 --> 00:41:07,89 Listener to talk to Mr Mooney I spoke in this community and he did express that he 481 00:41:07,90 --> 00:41:12,34 was not sure if we'd be able to get that sentiment not sure I get I thought Mr 482 00:41:12,35 --> 00:41:19,24 nanny. It passed then as we've been going through this process with budgets this 483 00:41:19,25 --> 00:41:25,89 year. Especially the last couple of weeks the proposed special project for 484 00:41:25,90 --> 00:41:30,96 district why I respond wrote is not seeming to be 485 00:41:30,100 --> 00:41:37,82 a popular choice and I'm stumped Mr money and asked if he 486 00:41:38,21 --> 00:41:41,57 thought that it would be OK to remove it from the warrant is not something he was 487 00:41:41,58 --> 00:41:45,35 interested in doing that was entirely his choice if you want to lean on the word 488 00:41:45,36 --> 00:41:50,11 great many people and he said that no he was actually fine with it coming off the 489 00:41:50,13 --> 00:41:55,31 word that he had. Commented by the season planning on going for 490 00:41:55,32 --> 00:42:00,09 a special project that he had done so at the request of our board which is true we 491 00:42:00,10 --> 00:42:03,57 did request to both the commissioners that if they start something that could be 492 00:42:03,58 --> 00:42:04,67 paid let's put it in 493 00:42:04,68 --> 00:42:08,35 a separate one article and that he was fine with having that removed in to have the 494 00:42:08,36 --> 00:42:14,17 reins start that process. I think it's not intended to night to just kind of make 495 00:42:14,18 --> 00:42:17,07 it a public announcement and I think that was 496 00:42:17,08 --> 00:42:20,86 a pump Mr Money being here as well so that it does not apply for we're removing an 497 00:42:20,87 --> 00:42:25,66 article for him that this is something that in his history and certainly in he did 498 00:42:25,67 --> 00:42:30,76 not wish to have me moved it would not be of interest but and he is wanting it to 499 00:42:30,77 --> 00:42:36,49 be removed it will be removed from the warrant and. So it will not be put towards 500 00:42:36,50 --> 00:42:41,20 Tommy the results or the recommendation. Of the road committee. 501 00:42:44,35 --> 00:42:50,38 As they will say here. I don't know how many people around of or over my show on 502 00:42:50,39 --> 00:42:54,07 and off and who I get back and there. Was 503 00:42:54,08 --> 00:43:00,57 a big problem last time I was had lately as heart talk we put 504 00:43:01,17 --> 00:43:01,55 we had 505 00:43:01,56 --> 00:43:08,18 a change in the out of all of. US maintain 506 00:43:08,23 --> 00:43:15,06 asphalt for years and then all of the road construction reconstruction was put into 507 00:43:15,07 --> 00:43:18,59 place with resurfacing so that's what was done so we've got 508 00:43:18,60 --> 00:43:25,56 a little bit of free services and the base with all its itself in the lake up one 509 00:43:25,57 --> 00:43:29,99 of these rows of the four or five the amount of salt that's getting in the cracks 510 00:43:30,00 --> 00:43:33,62 and just destroying our world and we're going to look like so I don't want to 511 00:43:34,03 --> 00:43:39,87 mention any names and tell me what off but some of these towns just follow up laugh 512 00:43:39,88 --> 00:43:44,01 because of resurface a lot I've got 513 00:43:44,02 --> 00:43:49,82 a few ideas of my whole. But if I was up all I want to do is get some resurfaced 514 00:43:49,83 --> 00:43:56,52 money and if you take that special project when I put it in resurface I'd make. It 515 00:43:56,53 --> 00:44:00,81 a gonna go in my pocket it's gotta go on the road. That's what I've got 516 00:44:00,82 --> 00:44:03,51 a few different locations to go I've got 517 00:44:03,52 --> 00:44:08,49 a couple things up my sleeve that I think is really good. I guess. 518 00:44:11,39 --> 00:44:17,87 But I would. Like to see if we can get over spots on that at least put some money 519 00:44:18,53 --> 00:44:22,06 you know that hundred two thousand dollars that was just 520 00:44:22,67 --> 00:44:27,38 a little patch of work on that would have been a lot easier.
