[Music] All those in favor I as a reminder this meeting will be audio and video recorded. Please rise for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the
flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. [Music] All right. First item on the agenda is
uh Chief go uh grab the grab the mic. Got a couple items here. Afternoon gentlemen. Good afternoon. Uh so first item that I I have before you guys is just a quick update on the
uh overtime uh deficit. Um as we've been discussing the the overtime uh line just due to budget constraints has been short the last several years. Um we're looking at after taking into
account some surpluses in some of the lines and the deficits that we have. We're looking overall um at an estimated deficit of about 5354,000 that will need to be um worked with the finance department to figure
out what how we can uh cover that uh for the rest of the fiscal year, which surprisingly is actually better than we were a year ago. We need we needed a lot more last year than we than we have this year. So onward it's it's a job for the town
administrator and finance department to see what we could pull the last 60 days of the calendar year we can pull and do in departmental transfer. So I've got a couple targets. I'm sure you won't be the only
department. He's the first in though. Doesn't solve our problems. we didn't solve all the problems, but um it's a better number than last year. You're 100% correct, Chief. So, okay. I think that's got a lot to do with you filling shifts, right? If it
wasn't for that trying out, we would be u burning up a lot more and we had somebody out. So, which segus perfectly into the next one. Um, I have been working with Mr. Kelly
and Mr. Gaspar, uh, since he's the the board's rep with the the fire union, um, to look at the contract and see what needs to be done with respect to that person that is out injured. Um, bringing somebody in in a temporary um, to
potentially permanent spot depending on the outcome of that process. Um, so that was item number two is just to maybe get the board's blessing to move forward with the with the posting and the the filling of that position. It
would in essence take 48 hours that currently goes to overtime every week guaranteed and drop it down to straight time. If we bring somebody in with the caveat that if she comes back, if the employee comes back to work, then this temporary hire would be
um reduced in force cuz she'd be the that this person would be the lowest in seniority. So, who are you drawing from like the call firefighters? Um so, right now it's an internal posting. Okay. Um so, it's part-time EMS and call fire. Um, and we'll see what we really need to
hire a paramedic versus just a firefighter EMT. Um, for the way we operate, um, if I don't get any interest from internal, I can post it externally. But again, it would have that caveat that it's a temporary until there's an
outcome with the process. Okay. Are there any issues with like you know when we exit the person if it is you know if it's um truly is temporary dealing with uh unemployment insurance and all that
kind of stuff it would the person would be eligible for unemployment but uh this is a process the chief and I have been working on we're on a year and a half now yeah uh to uh and it's
involved multiple boards uh evaluations etc. Okay. And so we are hoping that in uh a period
of 90 days to uh maybe 180 that you'd be able to get through the rest of the evaluations and get through to right
a good solution for all involved. Got it. Okay. Present him. Yeah. So, you heard the chief talk about this is so he just made a comment to Mr. Kelly that this has been going on for what 6 to9 months. How long? Uh the original the
year and a half uh September of 2023 was the original uh time of And would Mr. Kelly refer to it because it's an injured on duty case. We're not privy to speak publicly about anything other than what we will do today. Um but I think what Mr. Kelly's referring to when he talks about boards and things of that
nature. It's got nothing to do with town stuff. It's doctors, physicians, and things of the like, right? That'll have to give us some documentation. There's some reluctancy to do that at this point. And that's why the chief is looking to fill the temporary position,
a temporary position to fill that void. What do we pay right now? Because of the IOD insurance, they cover 40%, we cover 60%. They cover 40. We collect they cover six. They cover 40. We cover 60.
So there's still a gap a void there salary wise to fill. Correct. Um will we be pulling out out of part-time salaries? Uh so right now the other 40%. Uh it comes out of Korea salaries right now.
What we're responsible for? You're talking for the Oh, because the void there won't be a void because we're paying only 60% of the 40 that they're paying. We put that back or you still end up with a $60,000 60% deficit. Correct. So there's a void. Do you as
far as funding chief goes for the temporary position if the board so chooses, do you have that covered inside your budget under the That's why I asked you. Not in addition, but we cover from part time. So, the way that we the way that we currently do it
and have done it for the last 18 months is it gets paid out as overtime. If it doesn't go through overtime, it gets paid out through the call and part-time salaries line. Um, and that's also part of that deficit that I mentioned earlier. Yeah. But we did we did get you
as close as we could because what you faced when you took the chief's position with a deficit and overtime. So, we're trying to get that through town meeting to give you a more appropriate line item for that. Right. So we got a little buffer there as well. I think the only thing that we need to be careful of is
to make sure that we have some when we put the job out um you know for bid or whatever it may be and then we have to make sure and then we would have to have a memorandum of agreement signed by the town and the employee understanding the terms of the agreement of of
employment. It keeps us off the hook that way down the road. So we could have town council draft something up quick on a temporary fill in position for whoever the chief can come up with and find to sign that along with us agree to it and sign it um and move forward. But you
know we don't know when it's going to be resolved and as the chief alluded to. Could be 6 months could be 12 months. We don't know how long we're stuck with this but he's been dealing with it for a year and a half which is unfair. So getting in the position filled would provide stability and at the same time
it would actually save some cost. Right now we pay out an overtime rate which is time and a half versus paying a temporary higher straight time. So there's a carrying 40% of the extra budget that salary already in the budget the primitive salary. So I have no
problem with it at all to help the department and help you out chief. Um, I have no problem with it with the stipulations that we make sure that we have a memorandum of agreement written up ready to go for the chief if he needs to if he has the ability to hire somebody for a temporary slot to execute
right away. Understood. All right, sounds good. So, we need a motion to authorize the chief to go forward with a temporary hiring process. So, move second. All those in favor? I motion passes. Thank you, John. Step one. Step one. Thank you, sir. Thanks, Pete. All
right, we have got a couple of uh traffic related items. Uh Charlene, if you want to go to the podium and I do talk to you about what's going on. Sure do. And as you said, my name is Charlene F and I live
on a resident of a cushion. And you volunteer for us? I do. And um yes, yes, I do. And right now I'm so ahead in my hours that you're not using me. So don't let that happen. Use me. I want to work.
Can truly volunteer. Anyway, that's a far from what we're talking about. Um, we all know that the forward stop is a bane to our existence. And being said, your the traffic can be all the
way down to past the cemetery uh on either side, whether on Main Street, whether it's going towards uh I don't know which way on directions are, but anyway, either side, it doesn't matter. And South Main, obviously. So, a lot of
people, including trucks, buses, vehicles, decide to cut around down Boilston Street to get to Allen, go up Allen, and get back onto Main Street. The speed limit that I understand, not
posted, is 30 m an hour. So, I had Rick get in my car and drive down the street at 30 m hour. Pretty speedy, but not bad. These vehicles that are coming down the road, not all, are far surpassing the 30 mph speed limit. And I'm sure the
same going up Allen. Now, it would be silly to go uphill because they're not going to avoid any traffic that way back up. They go up to Allen. I am proposing and my understanding is one of the meetings that I watched on YouTube that
you, Mr. Hankley, said that you guys are in charge of speed limits. So, I am asking if we could put a posted speed limit on Boilston for a visual. I know not everybody looks at them. I look at the post a posted speed limit when
I'm on the street and I try and do that or lower. Not everybody would, but I would like to propose a 25 mph posted speed limit on Boilston. We have a lot of traffic that walks up
and down that street with kids on their with their carriages with people walking their dogs. And I'm telling you, you wouldn't believe it. Sometime I feel my house shakes at how fast they're going down the street. I'm sure cuz they think they're smart, Alex. And they say, "Oh, we got to beat I I can understand it because it
can be frustrating to sit in that traffic when you're trying to get to work or trying to get home or what have you." But still, not everybody does it. I don't mean to tell you that every that it's a, you know, an Indy500 on Boilston, but there are many people that are over the 30 mph speed limit. I don't
even know if they know it's 30 mph. I looked it up. I went to the police station and they told me that I should come and talk to you, John. So, sure. I'm hoping that maybe you will consider something along that line. What? So, we had a process for that. We have a safety
committee, which is the fire, you know, police and fire chief and so on and so forth. So, why don't we do this? Let's have them take a look at it. Okay. And then I'm sure if they think it's the right thing to do or you we can do we can put some signage up or, you know, we
I think we still we still have those uh digital speed speed monitors. I mean, I drive through Rochester a lot and I say, you know, your speed is this. You know, maybe we can put some other, you know, the digital uh we've got signs, digital signs that maybe we can put there for a
while like please slow down or something or other. So we can Well, Rick made a sign one time that said slow down and that didn't work. Of course, it's not going to work because they Yeah. So, I feel your pain. Um we had this conversation, I don't know, 2 3
years ago, maybe maybe longer, maybe not. Um everybody up in these side streets and NAV down there and they came in and there was a whole bunch of them, right? And we were supposed to get a bunch of different signs and put speed limit signs, but that that happens not just Boilson Street. It's all in these
side streets. I mean, it's just it's the nature of the town being over congested and anywhere. I mean, you go anywhere in the city and you see people losing their patience and cutting side roads and like zipping up, you know, different side streets. Just the nature of the human being, unfortunately. Um, but I'm all
for doing whatever we can to, you know, maybe a couple of patrols over there, you know, at the busy times of the day. Um, I Well, the busiest times are usually on the way to work, on your way home, when the kids get out of school. I just had a bus go down. Now, whether
they're circumventing the four-way stop or not, I don't know. They were well past 30 mph. So, and and dump 10 wheelers coming down there. Now, I'm sure they're going pro probably to get gas is what they're coming down and and
then cutting up and going up hill and then turning on Krompton to go get gas. But they're well over 30 mph. I I see. And I see that we do have I did drive around today. We do have some 20 posted 25 mph on Main Street. Sure. And 20, but
I didn't see any anywhere else. I went down Main Street the other way and I didn't see anything posted. I have I have no problem with with one more, two more, three more, whatever we do all around in in this area and everywhere. Right. It happens everywhere. I live over by White Stair. They fly up nicely,
60 mph, right? Yeah, you got to get the, you know, the police got to get more presence there. And you know, it's that 4 to 5:30 and the morning and in the morning also. I'm still I'm still sleeping. Good for you. But 5:30 coming up here is a a pain in the neck coming down. This way is a
pain in the neck. It's got it's only little time slots, but they cut down Allen Street and go up Boilston to circumvent the four-way stuff. Yeah, I've been stuck in that traffic. I mean honestly on balance might add five minutes to the you know
like that and I'm I'm sure I fortunately I'm retired except when you y you y'all use me so I don't have to go that way if I don't have to go that way but I do see if I come out up to Boston up to Maine and I take a right not a left that traffic is crazy and at 4 or 5:00
starting now it'll be all the way down backed up that's and I I believe it's probably more than 5 Now with Hamlin Street open, use that as I did that the other day as a matter of fact keep saying I got to use H you know do not you but I'm saying in general like I think people got preconditioned
to going that way but we'll send this off to the safety committee. Is there a motion to send off to the safety committee? So move second. Thank you. And how will I know anything? We will keep you post keep in touch with you and we got plenty of work for you just so you know. Well come on. She told me she couldn't because I was I know I know
where you're at now. and I'll go to Boil Street and have a conversation with you. I'm My backyard is a cemetery. We can sit there and have a nice quiet conversation. My neighbors are wonderful. Neil, good neighbor. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks. All right. Next item. Same thing from
Chief Ku. Um he's concerned about the fundraising activity at the four-way stop sign. Um you know, I've seen it over the years. uh he's asking for some guidance, but he expressed to me real
concerns over safety where you've got young kids in the middle of the street going back and forth, adults. It just seems like it's a recipe for disaster. And I know it's South Main Street, so technically it's Mass Highway, like, you know, it's a high, it's a stateowned
road. Um and it should be treated as such. But um you know I think we got to offer him some guidance because I'm sure there's some groups who but I just don't think it can be me personally I hate to cretail people raising funds but see it's just a matter
of time before somebody gets hurt over there but anyway that's that's my feeling if I may. I've had a couple conversations with Chief Guru on this in regards to people complaining. Um, for every easy smooth fundraiser out there,
there's children in different organizations running across the street, stopping traffic and stuff like that. You can't single them out either. So, if you allow one organization to go, you have to allow all of them. There are some guidelines, you know, you have to make sure that you're supposed to make
sure that children aren't in the street and you're not actually in the roadway doing it, too. But then again, once they get approval, it's not like they can have a detail sitting here for 2 hours doing it. Um, being the busiest
intersection, I can see the draw why people would want to be here, but I can also see from the police standpoint how dangerous it can be. Right. Right. Right. I I mean, I don't know. When I was growing up playing Little League baseball and all this stuff, we had tag day. we would go out in front of a, you
know, grocery store or convenience store. Um, we didn't do any of that stuff. So, you know, I I'm concerned about the safety of people and um I'd hate to see something happen on our watch. Don't I don't know if the board how the board feels about it, but I'm
inclined to, you know, whatever the legality is, Jamie, to prohibit this. You can do it on Main Street and I think very likely you can do it on South Main
at the intersection because of how the intersection is. But as uh Mr. Hinckley said, it's all or none, right? Mhm. Kevin and I agree. Okay. There'll be a
motion to uh to uh prohibit this activity and direct the police chief to deny those requests. So move second. All those in favor? Motion carries. Hate to do it, but can't see anybody get hurt. Well, especially with slow being worked
on, traffic increasing right now, good weather, it's just going to turn into a nightmare. So, Jamie, you'll let chief, we can do a memo and then you can send it to uh to the chief. Yep. All right. Next item. Well, more traffic uh study.
uh uh Victoria Town Planner is a technical assistance grant opportunity to conduct a safety analysis of the intersection of South Main Street, Main Street, and Crompton Street. I mean, I just think
that whole area is is an issue. Um so, she just again wanted to make sure she we know what she's up to over there and how her time is being used. I don't see any reason why we uh shouldn't allow that to go forward with no cost. Mr. Chairman, I think the timing is not
great with the work on Sulkum Street because it's going to skew their entire findings if you ask me personally. Um, I'm open to safety in general, but I think if Serpent was to roll this out tomorrow, it would change the outcome of what they would determine is needed.
Okay. Simply because with Sloum closed, the traffic's increased from every other direction on this. and less people are cutting through down to New Bedford now and cutting down onto Main Street. I I think this would skew the
actual information that they provide us and the assistance they would provide us. I'm not saying it's a bad idea. I just don't think at the time it's necessary. I think we should wait until Slo's done just because we I want accurate information. I don't want inaccurate information and especially if
this results in information that they tell us we 100% need a traffic light here. The back and forth about traffic lights in this town. I'm split in the middle. But this is going to be a huge issue. If they tell us we need a traffic
light and it's not correct information, this half the town's going to get extremely mad. Half of it's going to be happy. Either way, it's not going to be accurate information. And that's just my personal opinion on this. I think we should wait until at least locom's wide
open, done, and repaid. Then we could maybe go back and look at this. Okay. If that makes sense. Is that a motion to deny the request for the grant? So motion to deny the request. just tell her like we'll uh could I suggest that
we uh talk to Serpent and see if they can uh put uh put us off for 6 months to a year but uh
keep the grant alive for the community. That's fair. Is this already applied for? Why? I can call Jeff Walker and see. So before we make any decision, I'd like to talk to him about it. I mean, I don't want to approve something because No,
I'm not asking for an approval. I'm just seeing if there is so much money for each community available can to do these studies or would there be a better study
that we could do? I think Mass D's already done some studies on that and everybody I talked to hates the idea of a traffic light and you just had a resident stand right there at that podium talking about people using cut through. You put a light here that'll create a disaster on
this corner. I'm not talking about this particular whether it's a light or what. I'm saying if they've got X amount of dollars reserved for Kushnet, let's make a call and see if we
either can use it on something else or they can postpone the put the money in obeyance, hold it for us. Uh we have up to $40,000 that they can give us an inind
services. I'm not saying to use it. Just how about you just find get some more information and report back to the board. All right. Motion on the table. So moved. Second. All those in favors. uh letter from Norma York uh announcing
that she will be stepping down from the uh from the agricultural commission. Norma is a real important member of this group and would be sad to see her go. She's contributed mightily. It's a motion to accept with regret. So move second. All those in favor. Motion
carries. Next item is from Nelson Pavos. Unfortunately, he has to step down from the conservation commission due to uh work responsibilities. Is there a motion to accept with regret?
So, so second. Those in favor? Motion carries. Mr. Chairman, just just so we don't forget, I do believe we actually have a person that we ran out of spots to fill. might have applications on file or letters of interest for concom. Um,
and when Sydney gets back, he'll talk to her on that. All right, sounds good. All right, next item here is from the DPW regarding chapter 90 in Middlefield Place. I think Mr. Gasper, you me was that the road you mentioned last time
they were here? I did, Mr. Chairman. I I mentioned um Middle Field Place because as you know that area that's a that's a main cutth through road from middle road to New Befford and the roads just blown all apart now and I did
just talk about it and Dan went out and looked at this and it's unfortunate that Mr. Man is not here to speak on his department's behalf, but he did put a number together for Middlefield Place, and it is a
note about Northfield Place, which runs off of it, it hooks off of it, forms like a Y off of Middlefield Place. And I did talk to him when he called me and said you and I said I don't like to just keep adding things but I did take a ride
by there and Northfield Place is not in as bad a condition as middlefield place but I get what he's trying to do and sometimes when you put things out the bid it'll be a little bit cheaper because the person's already there instead of dragging them back in for a short run. So I did take a ride by there and I noticed that Northfield
plays wide off middlefield is spidering pretty bad and I would say based on my experience of these kind of things, you give it one more frost season and that road's going to look just as bad as Mfield. So I told Dan if you want to measure it up and talk to the board and
see if they want to approve Northfield, I said I'm okay. It makes a little bit more sense by doing that cuz it's all being reclaimed and then paved. So, you're right there. Literally right there. And I think he put something looks like it's an additional
$70,000 for Northfield. Please reclaim and pay. And then he leaves what will be the total balance of chapter 9 627843. So, I guess that's what he's looking to
do. Um, and I did remind him that the board did not make a proper motion to approve said roads in the last meeting and I think that's why he's stolen mental back on DPW spoke on the right to complete this project vote not
taken and would like to add middlefield please so I can the same project funds taken and then some other memo about Diana's requesting Northfield to be paid and request chapter 90 fund. So, um it's unfortunate that no one's here. Um at
least Mr. Manard to uh talk about a few different things that need to be discussed when it comes to pavement and putting things out the bid. But, um I know that I was hit with a resident's concern of flooding on Mendle Road, the last storm that went by. Um I know Mr.
Hinckley travels that road pretty much every day. So I would defer to him when it comes to conditions of Mendle Road because that's his area of town and expertise. Yeah, Mr. Chairman, if I may, um the other day when we had that really bad
rainstorm, I happened to be on Mendle and the drainage they put in along the orchards and heading towards Perry Hill did what they were supposed to do, which was nice. But when you get up towards past Garrison, so if you're heading south from Perry Hill up towards
Matapo, basically from Garrison on the west side of the road all the way up to Matapo Road, um was essentially flooded with hydroplane conditions and I was also watching water wash down people's driveways like 2 in at a time, slamming
into garage doors. Um, so before he does reclaim and repave on Mendle, I think we need to address some kind of drainage on the east side of the road somewhere near the Eversource easement in there at least. Okay. Um, I don't know how we
have to make that motion. It's um it's discouraging to hear that because DPW Dan went out there god I'll say two years maybe maybe three years ago and from the Eversource easement
that's where he started and worked his way north up Mendle to Garrison and then he went back and did from Garrison all the way up to the fire tower that's out on Mendle Road which is pretty far up. It's probably only a quarter mile in
from Perry Hill. Correct. But the, as you alluded to, the storm water basins are on the west side of Mendle, and you're talking about the east side, but it's it's disturbing of all those storm water basins and piping that he put in
isn't collecting the water appropriately. And I don't know if that's a conversation about how we tilt the roads or does he have to go out now and spend God knows how many more 100 150 $200,000 more on drainage. That's
not cheap. That project was not cheap. I can tell you that. And we did a lot more than what we I I ever envisioned being done. But if you're there, get it done and done right. But I think we need to have Mr. Manard in to talk to him about that before we pave.
All right. So you want to do prove middlefield and northfield and then bring to ask Dan to come in to talk about Mendle. Yeah, I guess we just put a hold on it all. Mr. W out, he's going to put it all out for bid. So just just before it goes
out to bid. I mean get him at the next meeting telling me he needs to be okay. Be at the next meeting and discuss all these issues so that we're not doing things. And like Mr. Hankley saying we go out and pave Mendle Road and spend $500,000 and that road's still washing
out and all that water's hitting the east side properties. We're not looking too good, are we? No. So, I want to make sure that this that communication happened so at least the people know that we're on it. All right. All right. Next item, next issue
is uh Dan sent a a memo regarding his budget. Um look, we've set the budget. We went through a long exhaustive process. When we say final final, it's final final. I understand, you know, you might have some concerns, but I think it's somewhat speculative, but I think
that, you know, that they'll need to clo, you know, his assertion that we'll need to close the swap shop moving forward. I think that's an extreme measure. Um, and like with anything, you can't make that determination at the start of a new fiscal year. you ride it
out and you manage it accordingly. Sometimes you you shut it down, you open it up, you shut it down, you open it up. Um, but to just say that, you know, we're going to shut it down entirely, I don't know that that makes a lot of sense. Um, so I don't know how you guys feel, but you got to when Dan comes in,
we'll uh we'll discuss that, but I think at the end of the day, the board of Slackman will decide whether or not it's open or or closed. Agree. Yeah, I agree too. I agree. I think there's part I'm sorry, Mr. No, no. I'm just saying like you always want to give employees the benefit of the doubt, right? Like you
this is what he thought was a solution, but I think with anything just got to manage it accordingly until it becomes a problem. Yep. You want to say something? I was just going to reiterate on that point. I said I think there's a we can get creative even if it's not exactly what they want.
I think like we had suggested figure out a way pick some time frames where you can shut it down if needed. Um, but I think the swap shop is the busiest in the summer. What's coming up? I think having it open in the summer would be helpful to a lot of our residents and we
can cross the bridge when we get to it. Mhm. Great. All right. So, why don't we do this? Let's uh on all these DPW issues, let's hold off um and then ask Dan to come in at either the next meeting or if we decide that we're going
to do a uh a Friday meeting, but I don't know that we have any or I'm just looking at my calendar as to when the next selectance meeting would be. So, we've got town meeting on what the 16th. Yep. So, we
should Well, we'll meet the 9th, right? It's a Monday. Yep. I'm sorry, the 10th rather. The 10th. That'll be the next meeting. And do we want to do we need to have anything just on the books for like
a Friday the 6th? I hate to say it, Friday the 13th as a runup to town meeting just to if there's any cleanup or any stuff that we need to do prior to town meeting. The six the six I can work with. The 13th is the last day of school. Okay. And then we don't want to
get away with that. We're meeting on the 10th, aren't we? Did we? Yes. Yep. Yep. So if you guys if something Mr. Chairman, that's your prerogative. I mean, obviously getting a hold of the board members, have the office get a hold of Mr. Eagley's schedule. But if if
we come up 48, you're going to do meetings 48 hours. So 72 hours on a Monday and you feel that there's something pertinent that should be on Friday and can't wait till the 10th. Y that's fine. But I would just I would ask if you're going to do something on
the Friday the 6, whatever date you gave for that Friday, you get Dan in here, right? That would be the point. If we're going to do something like that, I want to be able to get this out while we are Mr. Kelly um so that we can sit staff down because when you put things out to
bid, it's going to go for Haven. It's got in in other issues. It's got to go on the central register and Mr. Kelly and I think Sydney's done it before with Mr. Kelly, but we want to make sure that we have some staff in place to watch over the process to make sure somebody
else understands how we go about doing that. So, I would timets like that. Then earlier I was suggesting that Friday is that if we had anything going on with department heads or personnel or whatever would be for that day we know during the day there shouldn't be any
scheduled conflicts right so all right uh let's see 10th the 10th right now the 10th yeah so we'd be we'd be looking at the June 10th June 10th Yep June 10th at
4:00 or possibly the 6. That's up up to you, Mr. Chair. I don't do it obviously clean up any kind of clean up. All right. Uh, nothing else. I put as a standing uh, you know, town administrator, town accountant, search
update. I don't have anything there other than gone through applications and we're going to try to get the screening committee together, but at some point we might want to consider whether or not we advertise for a um an interim uh in the event that Mr.
Kelly uh you know, we're not able to solve that issue. I don't see how we're going to do that in the next month and rush through it. But just start thinking in those terms. There may be a number of people like Mr. Kelly who have who are retiring but want to you know like you know serving towns just to help them get
through the transition period. So just something to think about but I'll obviously talk to the screening committee about that but with that said no other further business. Any announcements gentlemen uh Mr. Chairman, I do um just share a little update. On Saturday at
noon, I was able to go to a yet another Eagle Scout code uh code of honor. Um Kushner has a another new Eagle Scout. So, congratulations to Landon Maderas. Um it was a really nice ceremony. Um and I appreciate the board allowing me to go
to these as often as I can. Um, yeah, with that said, we were all at the uh Memorial Day ceremony. I neglected to uh publicly commend and thank Brad Fish for pulling that together. So, sorry about that, Brad. Uh, but thank you. Um, once again, he
pulled off a a class act um event and uh so thank you for that, gentlemen. Any uh motion to adjurnn? Second. All those in favor? I [Music]
