Appreciate it. >> Uh baseball's in full swing, so no pun intended. >> So, >> director report. So, a few business items and then an update at the very end 14 00:03:51.440 --> 00:04:07.760 on Main Street. So, the first item is um execution of a contract. This is for our annual water mane replacements. And we also consider drainage as well when we're doing these um corridors. So this uh area we're doing is Grove Street, Church Street, Elm, and a 15 00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:24.160 portion of Forest in the uh the neighborhood over there, replacement of old water manes. Um and so without reading through the whole um agenda that I put together in the packet, CHB was our low bidder and um and we recommend moving forward with them at the base bid 16 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:40.880 of $4890. Um, also including the ad alternate of 39,270. And so this comes from our water main budget and storm water budgets. So we got the funds to do it. >> Any questions? >> Nope. 17 00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:56.160 >> Nope. >> Make a motion that the board vote to execute the contract for the 2026 water main and drainage improvements project in the amount of $528,360 for signature by the board. >> Seconded. >> All those in favor? 18 00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:12.639 >> I. and chair says on >> and that was approved. >> Okay, that the second item is um on Mil Street the drainage improvement project that they're currently working on. Um we did the project came in under budget. So 19 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:28.880 we had them do a little extra drainage work. So that's what this item's for. It's 75 ft of drainage pipe and a additional catch basin uh for a change order of 18,232. Um, they are probably a week or two away from substantial completion. They're moving pretty quick as we kind of 20 00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:43.759 expected they would on that project, which is good. So, that's item two. >> Any questions? >> No. >> Nope. >> Um, make a motion that the board the board vote to approve change order number one for the Mill Street drainage 21 00:05:43.759 --> 00:06:00.720 improvements project in the amount of $18,232 for signature by the chair. >> Seconded. >> All those in favor? I I >> chair says I >> next >> okay next business item um before we get into an 22 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:17.919 update is change order four over at group on the clear well project the waste the water treatment and PAS system improvements it's formerly called. Um so this was for we had to make some changes as we were doing the work to get the backwash to be most efficient. Um it it 23 00:06:17.919 --> 00:06:33.919 you know per how it was designed wasn't the best. So we did actually work with our consultant to um to absorb some of that. Now this is being paid from the army grant as well. Um there are some additional items and credits in there as well. Um and you know being a large 24 00:06:33.919 --> 00:06:51.919 project it is a large change order and 352,31957. Um but that project I expect to be substantially complete by the end of next month before we get into the high demand season. Um, and so that's uh recommended for approval. 25 00:06:51.919 --> 00:07:08.199 >> Any questions? >> No. >> No. >> Make a motion that the board vote to approve change order number four for the Grove Pond um WTP fast system improvements project in the amount of $352,31957 26 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:26.479 for signature by the chair. >> Seconded. >> All those in favor? I. and chair says I >> Okay, great. The last item is um I want to provide an update on the Main Street tip uh transportation improvement project. That's our reconstruction of of 27 00:07:26.479 --> 00:07:43.520 Main Street from Columbia um road to Park Street essentially. It's a little bit further than that, but roughly in that corridor. Um so, Robert's office did receive a letter from the MO from MRPC. Um, and they actually met with myself and Matt Hearn and the town 28 00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:59.759 engineer to give us an update. And I think, you know, a lot of us are feeling this in our lives and it's happening all across the board, but uh project increases increases in costs in general for um for everything. And so across the 29 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:15.199 um our region and not just our region, others as well, they are seeing um project costs go up 50%. We're not about 50% across our region on every project just due to inflation, tariffs, um some 30 00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:32.560 are scope increases as well as we get more into design. Um and so right now there there was there were 10 projects on the um are programmed right now in our region for the tip projects. one of them being heirs and nine of those 10 31 00:08:32.560 --> 00:08:50.240 have been moved forward to a future year including AIRS. Well, I would shouldn't say it's been moved. It's a draft uh tip um program right now for FYI federal fiscal year 27 to 31, but they're proposing to move project as well as 32 00:08:50.240 --> 00:09:07.279 nine others to just kick them down the road um about a year and it's really just because they don't have the money. Um, and two of the projects actually got kicked off of the programming in this draft, uh, tip form. So, um, it's really, you know, we can only control so 33 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:22.080 much. I think I we kind of just want to make you aware they're they're proposing to push it from federal fiscal year 29 to federal fiscal year 30 and 31, a split. So, speaking with MRPC, that would mean we would start bidding in 34 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:39.680 late 2029. Um October of 2029 would be federal fiscal year 30 when that starts. Um so it's not good news. I guess I'm not Matt and I both weren't totally surprised. Um we want to make you aware. So, right now the draft tip is out for 35 00:09:39.680 --> 00:09:56.640 that draft tip 2027 to 2031 is out for comment and so it it can go right on MRPC's website and anybody can send in comments um general public and then also entities such as the select um I'll be sending something in. So I, you know, 36 00:09:56.640 --> 00:10:11.600 I'd encourage the select board, you might want to send a letter or from Robert's office just reinforcing how we're, you know, working hard to get this project done and um and and um we want to get it, you know, program as soon as we can. Now, a lot of times too, 37 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:27.120 projects do drop off. They don't progress as fast as they should and other projects slot in. So, you know, ideally something like that would happen as long as we keep pushing our project. I mean, you'll notice in the letter two here from Brian Doherty, you know, it 38 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:44.160 really wasn't our efforts that have slowed this down in that fourth paragraph he has, but it's just the funding. It's a, you know, a regional issue that's going on. Um, and we've really been making some good progress lately. We're starting to do our right of way process now and our design is um 39 00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:59.040 our next step is design public hearing, which should occur later this year. So, we're doing a good job, but um I really want to make the board aware and um and yeah, that's that's the update on the Main Street Project >> discussion. 40 00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:15.440 >> Um Dan, um is there any transparency on, you know, why we got kicked down? I mean, I know you said like nine out of 10 did, but is there kind of a priority list or is it just that's what they decided? 41 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:31.120 Um, so it they do take that into account. So the way that MO works and the project work projects work, they score them and it's called a TEC score. And our projects actually tied for the highest score and that takes into 42 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:47.839 account things such as safety, um, the need for the improvement, the proximity to environmental justice groups, things like that. So AIR's project is really high scoring, so it's high priority. Um, I think it, you know, like like I was saying, it's just an acrosstheboard 43 00:11:47.839 --> 00:12:04.079 thing. They just can't maintain it in the program for 2029. It needs to needs to push so they can com continue to complete projects in general. The only project that stayed was the one that's scheduled for this year. Um, so that 44 00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:22.240 basically had to stay, but everything else sort of pushed down. Um and it's yeah I mean that's kind of in short um what's going on. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yes sir. 45 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:38.160 >> Madam chair. I would um propose to the board that we prepare uh a letter from the select board for your May 19th packet draft letter for the board to review and uh take up at your next meeting. I think that would be helpful, 46 00:12:38.160 --> 00:12:53.519 don't you? I think you suggested that, Dan, to the MO. >> Yeah, the Well, the the open the comment period actually ends May 15th, so we might >> um you know, we probably want to get something on the books before that. Um 47 00:12:53.519 --> 00:13:10.160 so I don't know if you want to >> maybe you the board wants to direct your office to submit one or um or how you want to do it. I mean, I'm going to submit one from us too from public works. What if we through the chair I if you submit one and I submit one as town 48 00:13:10.160 --> 00:13:26.079 manager and then we have the board send one after their meeting on May 19th. I know it's the open comment period but I think the letter to the no from the board regardless would be helpful. >> Yeah, that sounds good. Y 49 00:13:26.079 --> 00:13:42.800 >> thank you. And in our draft, you could also reference the fact that, you know, you had sent one in our letter saying, and that we're just kind of adding on to the letter that you sent just to kind of reinforce that they've gotten at least two. >> Good point. Okay. >> Any further discussion? 50 00:13:42.800 --> 00:14:00.320 >> Sounds good. >> All right. Well, thank you very much, Dan. Hope your uh team wins. >> Thank you. >> Go team. Bye, Dan. >> Good night. >> Bye. All right, Robert. U >> excuse me, Madam Chair. >> Oh, yes. 51 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:16.320 >> Pauline, I have two quick questions regarding Mr. Dhy's April 15th letter. And I don't know if you all can even clarify it, but the subject matter says re air roadway rehab on route 2A11, 52 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:30.560 which I know to be Park Street and Graten Shirley Road. The body of the letter however refer refers to quote many projects in the region including Main Street will need to be 53 00:14:30.560 --> 00:14:48.480 shifted. So he's contradicting himself in this letter and do I I guess no my only question is do you all have any clarification or should you not ask because Dan just said Main Street will go forward. 54 00:14:48.480 --> 00:15:04.399 >> Great. So madam chair through you. So on the letter and the no often does this is they intertwine. So it says air roadway rehab on route 2A 111 though Route 2A and 111 ends for a 55 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:20.560 portion of Main Street is the town. They interplay the two. So they're referring to Main Street. Um we can mention that to them again to sort of clarify that distinction. Okay. So, what I hear you say is the 56 00:15:20.560 --> 00:15:37.279 Main Street Bridge Replacement Project we've all been gearing up for and finding new ways to work, except for me, of course. >> No, no, no, no, no. Not the Main Street Bridge Project. >> That's West Main. >> Yeah. >> Well, I don't know. I'm not questioning you, Janice. That's not how I interpret 57 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:53.440 this letter. I would respectfully ask that you ask for clarification because we all know having been through tip projects before things don't always appear as they seem. >> Thank you. >> Mhm. >> So madam chair on this letter. So it's 58 00:15:53.440 --> 00:16:09.680 referring to the main street. So this portion of Colombia in main street it has nothing to do with West Main or the West Main Street Bridge. That that project is moving forward. a separate project, >> but I will ask them to clarify because 59 00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:26.320 we've dealt with this before. They use the state route and Main Street interchangeable and it does get confusing. >> Yeah. Make sure uh your letter in in our draft is like, you know, >> spelled out um >> where Columbia Street. Yeah. 60 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:42.399 >> Yeah. >> We'll do. >> Okay. All right. >> Madam Chair, members of the board, good evening. Uh you have in your packet the warrants that were reviewed and approved since the board last met on April 21st. 61 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:58.720 Uh is in terms of the administrative update uh town meeting on Monday, April 27th uh was a success in terms of all 20 28 articles including the FY27 omnibus budget uh passed as did the citizens uh 62 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:15.520 petition. Uh a special thanks to everyone who makes uh town meeting a success and for the continued support of the voters as we look to close out FY26 uh by June 30th. Um the board has, as 63 00:17:15.520 --> 00:17:31.679 does the finance committee, the year-end spending authorization that all departments as of June 1st, anything over $1,000 requires preapproval. um that policy we've done for several years um has has worked well in closing 64 00:17:31.679 --> 00:17:47.120 out the fiscal year. As I mentioned previous and I've mentioned to the chair of the finance committee on the reserve fund transfer front uh we are going to need a reserve fund transfer for the assessing department due to um their 65 00:17:47.120 --> 00:18:02.320 software conversion, the IT uh department and maybe um town council. We've got three more months to go. Um we may squeak that one by, but we will keep the board updated and be coming to you 66 00:18:02.320 --> 00:18:18.559 um most likely the first meeting in June uh with the RFTs and then with the finance committee. Also related to that, the DPW director and I will be coming before you shortly u before the end of the fiscal year uh for the select board 67 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:34.720 to authorize um some deficit snow and ice spending. We've done this before. Many cities and towns do. Um we haven't had to in a while, but there is a a small deficit um which under state law with the select boards authorization we 68 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:52.640 can deficit spend and it just made up next year. It hits the um the free cash. So that's sort of a coming attraction um on that front. And then looking ahead, it is take things one day at a time. But for FY27 and beyond, um there are some 69 00:18:52.640 --> 00:19:08.240 active things that we're closely monitoring that may have impacts on FY27, uh which was just approved and beyond. And specifically, that's the energy fuel situation. Up until February 28th, fuel 70 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:25.520 and energy was actually the saving grace of inflation. Then the situation in the Middle East has changed all of that. And as the board is aware when we came before you as well as the finance committee towards the end of the budget process we did make some modest 71 00:19:25.520 --> 00:19:41.600 adjustments to energy and fuel taking into account uh what is happening in the Middle East. Um we're concerned about that uh situation as to what that's going to mean for energy uh in in fuel 72 00:19:41.600 --> 00:19:58.720 costs. Uh the assistant town manager and I recently met with our representatives from the municipal aggregation program uh that this board approved um for the residents. They're closely monitoring for the most competitive rate and we're going to check in with them in June and 73 00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:15.520 then coming to the board um very shortly uh with a recommendation on those rates. Um the facilities director is monitoring almost daily. Constellation is our energy provider for the town on on the electric and has been in contact with 74 00:20:15.520 --> 00:20:32.480 DPW as well. So I just wanted to bring that up um as we move into the next budget um and beyond that the issue of energy and fuel unfortunately is a is a wild card to some extent. Then related 75 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:48.000 to that will be the economic impacts of of energy uh costs and then the issue of health insurance and the school funding uh remain uh real issues as we move forward. I have proposed that after the 76 00:20:48.000 --> 00:21:04.559 air Shirley Regional School District gets through the Shirley Town meeting uh that all three entities, the schools and the two towns um begin to discuss sooner than later the plan uh for next year. Um it's unfortunate be great if these 77 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:20.640 issues could get resolved, but this one um there's some work to be done. Lastly, in terms of coming attractions, uh we're in the process um the assistant town manager of the appointments reappoints process. So, they'll be contacting uh 78 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:37.440 everybody to see if incumbents want to be reappointed. We'll be pushing um vacancies and as we do in the past, we look to do have the board do the appointments, the two meetings in in June. Um, on June 16th, your June 16th meeting, the water and sewer 79 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:54.720 commissioner, uh, water and sewer superintendent, excuse me, was before you with a suggestion changes to the water regulations that require public hearing. And she's proposing and asked that the board consider doing that on June 16th. Those are those that we would 80 00:21:54.720 --> 00:22:12.880 advertise um that in accordance to the procedure and um take that up on June 16. And I think that's it under the administrative uh update if there are any questions from the board. And then I 81 00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:27.760 just have one other item. I don't have any action items tonight, which is rare, but I did want to um update the board um on the parks department um transition sort of update. And the parks department 82 00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:43.200 is in a period of critical transition, I will call it. Um the assistant parks position um has been vacant for some time. Uh we had advertised that position, had some candidates. We're 83 00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:59.919 about to start that process and at that time the parks director announced um her resignation on April 16th. So we sort of switched gears and began advertising for the parks director position on April 84 00:22:59.919 --> 00:23:16.640 17th with a preferred deadline of May 1st. The thought process being of course we should have a director in place that is involved in the assistant director. um decision. Um we the the encouraging 85 00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:33.520 news is the preferential deadline for the parks director was May 1st and as of May 1st we have nine applicants. Um the screening committee had an initial meeting uh today to discuss interviews in that process moving forward. And just 86 00:23:33.520 --> 00:23:48.720 for public benefit, the way that process has worked is the screening committee has always done an initial um screen and interview of candidates and then has recommended a finalist or finalists to the parks commission. The parks 87 00:23:48.720 --> 00:24:04.799 commission has done an interview of and then they have made a recommendation to the town manager for the appointment which I've always deferred to the parks um commission's input and brought that appointment before you. The good news is we do have some applicants. The the 88 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:21.200 challenge obviously is the is the timeline in in the process. We're trying to move it as quickly as we can. So that brings up the reality that as of Friday there is no full-time dedicated professional pres presence down at the 89 00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:36.799 parks department. And it it could not happen in terms of timing at a worse time of year with all the sports starting up at Peron Park and trying to get things uh ready for the um beach. So I am in the process of preparing um an 90 00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:52.080 interim appointment um which as town manager I could do for the next 30 to 45 days an interim to bridge this gap. We do need to have, it's not going to be a full director, but we do need to have uh 91 00:24:52.080 --> 00:25:09.919 a full uh time presence down there while we get the um interview process completed and get a permanent director. if it was in the winter or different time of year, we may be able to to skate by, no pun intended, but um I think that 92 00:25:09.919 --> 00:25:25.760 the interim um plan to bridge that uh makes um important sense. The other issue related to the parks that I wanted the board to be aware of has to do with Sandy Pond um beach. So, 93 00:25:25.760 --> 00:25:42.880 we began advertising for lifeguards, waterfront director, gate attendants actually in February. Um, in the end of March or April, the benefits and payroll director and the parks director at the time had a table up at the high school 94 00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:58.159 uh during lunch trying to get um lifeguards. And getting lifeguards is a challenge. And it's not just for air. We've talked to a lot of the neighboring areas. Sometimes we see if they have folks. And as of right now, we only have 95 00:25:58.159 --> 00:26:15.520 three lifeguards. And based on the staffing required to keep the level of service at the beach open that everybody is used to, we need a minimum of 11. Ideally, I would say 15 if we had some substitutes or so forth. Um we're going 96 00:26:15.520 --> 00:26:33.120 to continue to make a push um on that. One of the things is on April 16th, the parks commission did vote that the opening day is going to be on Monday, June 23rd, which is the last day of school for this year, and it will close 97 00:26:33.120 --> 00:26:50.559 on Sunday, August 23rd before school starts. So, historically, it would open on Memorial Day weekend and be open on the weekends leading up to the last day of school. Um the commission's feeling on that was based on not just this staffing challenge but in years past on 98 00:26:50.559 --> 00:27:07.919 attendance they wanted to try this new um schedule which is their purview. You will see in the promotions of it we don't have the times yet because the times are going to determine on the staffing uh levels. You need to just you need to be 16 years 99 00:27:07.919 --> 00:27:23.360 old, be available to work some weekends or part of the weekends. Um you get your Red Cross certification and we reimburse you for that. So I just wanted to use a shout out on that that we really need um 100 00:27:23.360 --> 00:27:41.200 lifeguards because the reality is um the hours of operation will be contingent on the certified lifeguard staffing. commission. Um, I did meet with them and it would be great to keep the same level of service open. If we don't have enough 101 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:57.919 lifeguards, depending on what we have, we may have to reduce the hours. And if we don't if if things stay at three lifeguards, um, to open the we're not going to be able to open the beach. And I just want to say, I know people often say all the time, well, it should be 102 00:27:57.919 --> 00:28:16.159 swim at risk, swim at your own risk. not only as the town manager, but you could talk to the previous parks directors at anyone. That's just not a viable option for the town. It's not in the public safety interest of anyone um involved um 103 00:28:16.159 --> 00:28:31.919 in from a liability um point of view. So, I just wanted to put that out there to stress. Um we still have some time and we're putting together trying to put together a plan, but we do need um lifeguards. And the last um two quick things, the 104 00:28:31.919 --> 00:28:48.080 Sandy Pond Beach House project, uh the DPW director and I are uh working on that at this point. Um the designer has been selected. We need to get the design done. Once the design is done, we'll have the plans which we can then 105 00:28:48.080 --> 00:29:02.480 approach the Nshoboa Valley Technical High School which is one of the and they're waiting for the plans to see if um there's a partnership that we can do there um to get uh the costs down from the 1.2 million. There is also no 106 00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:18.159 appropriation as of this time as capital wants a full plan. Um so we would have to we are hoping to revisit this for the fall um town meeting. And then lastly, the 71 Sandy Pond Road study report. At 107 00:29:18.159 --> 00:29:35.200 your May 19th meeting, uh we will present the report. Uh it will be in your packet actually. So you'll have that and then there's just a brief um overview presentation um of the findings and recommendations and I think the the working group over the last almost two 108 00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:50.240 years has done a great job with that. So that's what I have this evening. if there are any questions from members of the board. Um, otherwise I I thank you for your your time this evening. >> Um, 109 00:29:50.240 --> 00:30:06.240 so who is the contact person if anyone's interested in applying for lifeguards or paid attendance? >> So I'm glad that you brought that up. So, um the advertisements out there, what we will do tomorrow is Amanda 110 00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:24.000 Lewis, who's the benefits and payroll um manager, will put her contact information so people um should send information to her. They can send it to my uh office. We'll make sure she gets it. But we will put up we'll revise the postings um tomorrow. I talked to Amanda 111 00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:41.120 before this meeting. Um she's well versed on what needs to happen. So, that's the place. And at this point, it doesn't have to be a full-time commitment if it's part-time. We just um we need lifeguards. I also think it's a great opportunity for young people get 112 00:30:41.120 --> 00:30:58.559 certified. The pay is I think competitive for, you know, a job um of that nature. So, um we would be happy to have have folks. So, Amanda Lewis benefits payroll town hall. >> Okay. In the timeline, you talked about 113 00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:14.559 the interim position. >> Are you looking like in the next few days or a week or >> Yeah, I'm I'm trying to work to tie up a few things and then I will report that to the board and I will report that um on the 19th and if things work out, they 114 00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:30.640 can start very soon. >> Good. >> So, we have coverage there. >> As you said, we have no one full-time >> and we that's untenable. So the faster we go with that >> be my preference. >> And Sman Tarus, if I could just to that 115 00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:47.760 point, this interim effort has been in consultation with uh the parks commission chair and uh member there too. So it's it's a a a team effort. >> Good plan in place. I like it. 116 00:31:47.760 --> 00:32:03.120 >> Okay. >> I was going to use some of my three minutes. >> Okay. But he asked my question. >> Sorry, didn't let you talk. >> Where where are we advertising? >> So, um the where are we advertising? So, 117 00:32:03.120 --> 00:32:19.679 it's starting in February was on it's on the town's website, town's Facebook page. Um the previous parks director put it in. It's the MR that one. There's a recre Massachusetts recreation group. Um, I had a conversation with the parks 118 00:32:19.679 --> 00:32:36.240 director at Devons because they have Mirror Lake um to see if there was an opportunity um there. There's also struggling to get people. Um Bear Hill and Harvard, we've talked to them. Littleton um as I mentioned, the parks 119 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:51.120 director also sent it to the Nohova Valley Technical High School, a specific ad there as well as the high school. And then Amanda and the previous director did go they did the lunch circuit up there to to try to get kids um young 120 00:32:51.120 --> 00:33:10.799 folks I should say interested. So we're all um suggestions too if there's some we should reach out. I think the Got Graten Country Club was another one. Okay. >> Thank you. Because our goal and I I 121 00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:26.159 think selecting Livingston said this last year. I mean our ideal goal is to have the asset staffed and to be used and benefit by the public and the only time that it closes is if the board of health on the algae right or if there's 122 00:33:26.159 --> 00:33:41.519 a lightning storm. We really don't want to. That's why I bring it up tonight is sort of our goal is to have it open maximum um coverage but without full coverage we may have to reduce that and I I know we can put more than three lifeguards so I'm not going to say 123 00:33:41.519 --> 00:34:01.440 completely close it but that the expectation is that it is open um and the only time it closes is border health which is all swimming areas and um lightning. So, I thank the board for your time. >> Okay. Thank you. 124 00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:16.879 >> Thank you. >> All right. I know nobody had anything under your business like board member questions, but anything come up? >> No. No. >> Okay. Next up is the approval of the meeting minutes from April 21st. I know you weren't here, but did you 125 00:34:16.879 --> 00:34:32.159 notice anything spelled wrong? >> No. >> Okay. >> That look good to me. >> Okay. I'll make a motion that the meeting minutes from Tuesday, April 21st be approved as submitted. >> Seconded. >> All those in favor? >> I. 126 00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:45.839 >> Chair says I.

First item of business is to approve the agenda. Do I have a motion? 5 00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:27.119 >> Make a motion we approve the agenda on benefit special meeting of the planning board. >> Thank you. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> All right. Uh Ken, how do you vote? >> Yes. >> Nathan. Hi, 6 00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:42.479 >> Julie. >> Yes. >> Kathleen, >> yes. >> And the chair votes I. The agenda is approved. Uh we have a continued public hearing for 50 Jackson Street. Uh Danny, you want to take us uh lead us through? 7 00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:58.799 >> Yes. Um so everyone, I will pull up the decision right here. Um, so I sent the draft decision um to the applicant and to the board. It's also on the website. 8 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:14.239 Um, the uh I also did send it to the next door neighbor um as for them to look at as well to go because one of those two of the special conditions have to do with the tree and 9 00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:30.720 the fence. Um so the draft that you see before you shown on here um was reviewed by the land use departments um by the uh applicant and 10 00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:46.879 uh we received no comments. Um so we can kind of go through this as we typically would. Um so the first page is kind of just the normal um uh you know certification of the vote. Um, we can go 11 00:02:46.879 --> 00:03:04.239 to the materials are on section two and the findings here. Um, uh, so Jonathan, I don't know if you want to read the findings or if you want me to >> do, but do do you want to do the waivers first, Danny? >> Yeah. Uh, we can do the waivers first if 12 00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:20.000 you'd like to jump to that. >> Yeah, let's do that. Let's go through the three waivers. >> All right. Um so the the applicant is requesting uh three waivers here. So the the waiver 13 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:35.599 request uh the initial waiver request was for the elevations and architectural renderings. Um so the applicant doesn't have a um architectural or elevations yet done for this project. Um I'd assume that will come later when they go 14 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:50.080 through the building department. you know, we typically don't, you know, it's a requirement that we use for more larger scale projects like commercial buildings and stuff like that or larger buildings. Um, we don't typically 15 00:03:50.080 --> 00:04:06.480 require it on single family homes. So, it seems like a more normal um waiver to request here. Um, that would be dealt with through the building department anyways. So, the oversight will be coming through there. 16 00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:25.280 Great. Oh, I'll take >> Go ahead. >> So, I'll make a motion that we accept uh approve the waiver for section 4B elevations and architectural render renderings. >> Do I have a second? 17 00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:43.759 >> I'll make a second, but I I'd like to make an amendment to the language. It includes the language as site plan regulations rather than leaving that language out. Okay. >> Okay. >> Just one comment. 18 00:04:43.759 --> 00:05:01.680 >> Any Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead, Nathan. >> You need to find 10 ADT. >> No, we're on the first one. >> Oh, we're on the first one, brother. >> First one. >> So, yeah. So, oh that on this one the they didn't put in an actual 19 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:19.440 justification as part of it. >> Um it was part of like their letter included it and the it was kind of one of those combined ones that they had. >> There's so there's no actual request like justification behind it. Um but in 20 00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:35.600 speaking with them that was that was the normal that the discussion that occurred. Uh but we typically see this on the single family homes, >> right? >> Okay. Uh any further discussion? I'm sorry. Go ahead. 21 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:52.479 >> Made the motion and and Nathan second it. No. >> Oh, Jonathan made the motion and then Ken >> with an amendment to >> with an amendment >> to the plan. >> Yep. >> Okay. Uh 22 00:05:52.479 --> 00:06:09.199 any further discussion hearing? None. Ken, >> hi. >> Nathan, >> hi. >> Julie, >> yes. >> Kathleen, >> yes. >> And the chair votes I. Um, the second waver request of from the town of air 23 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:25.120 site plan regulations is section 4E vehicular traffic circulation and parking. And I'm going to just read this into the record. This is a residential project resulting in infill in an existing residential neighborhood. A typical residential unit generates approximately 10 uh what is ADP? 24 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:42.720 >> Average um d average average daily. It's supposed to be ATD. I think I may have >> average trips per day. Right. Okay. So, uh just we want to correct that as ATD as as this is an established neighborhood. The roadway network is not 25 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:58.720 impacted by the addition of a single residence with an ADU. >> Any discussion? I I'll make a motion. >> Excellent. >> I move that we uh land wave 26 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:18.880 uh section 4.E vehicle vehicular traffic circulation and parking. Um do I have a second? Second and >> seconded. >> Okay, great. Any further discussion? 27 00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:35.280 Hearing none. Ken, how do you vote? >> I. >> Nathan, >> hi. >> Julie, >> yes. >> Kathleen, >> yes. >> And the chair votes I. Waiver is approved. The third waiver request from the air um 28 00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:50.720 site plan regulations. >> Regulations refers to section 4G outdoor lighting. I'll read this into the record. Outdoor light fixtures are typically chosen by the future homeowner. Exterior lights are required at all points of egress. So it is expected that lights will be 29 00:07:50.720 --> 00:08:09.120 provided over the exterior doors and the garage doors. At this time, no post light is anticipated due to the proximity of the garage doors to Jackson Street. Do I have a a u a motion? >> I'll make a motion that the airplane 30 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:25.039 board wave the site plan regulation section 4.G. Is that a two behind the G? >> G. >> Just G. uh for the six excuse me >> 50 Jackson Street site plan >> second >> outdoor lighting excuse me yeah >> and I got a second 31 00:08:25.039 --> 00:08:40.800 >> Nathan seconded it >> okay excellent any further discussion >> yeah just a quickie the same thing that Danny mentioned before is that this is a single family house we typically try to regulate outdoor lighting when it's a site plan in the parking lot and things of those natures but doesn't apply here 32 00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:57.040 so it's an easy Good. >> Any further discussion? >> Hearing none. Ken, how do you vote? >> I. >> Nathan, >> hi. >> Julie, >> yes. >> Kathleen, >> yes. >> And the chair votes I. The waiver is 33 00:08:57.040 --> 00:09:13.120 accepted. >> I'm I'm hearing a lot of noise. Uh, is everyone else hearing that noise? >> Yeah, it seems to be coming from the one uh participant who doesn't have a name. It's just the phone icon. >> Yes, I believe it's someone who called in. I'm not sure who it is, but I'm 34 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:29.839 going to mute you you again unless you have unless you want to speak, then you can unmute yourself. >> Okay. Thank you. So, um, do we go into finding? >> Yeah, we should go through the findings on this one. >> Well, what I mean is do we, uh, do we do 35 00:09:29.839 --> 00:09:46.320 the findings and then open up or for for public input before our vote? Is that the way we want to do this? >> Yes. Yeah. And then we'll So, we'll go through the findings. we'll you know discuss how there's general conditions that we typically have then we can go to the special conditions and then at that 36 00:09:46.320 --> 00:10:02.880 point we can open up to comment. >> Okay great so I'll read the findings into the record we find that the site plan contains a design that has provided the foundation for the air planning board to determine that the requirements standards and guidelines of the town of air site plan regulations subsection 320-3.5.4 37 00:10:02.880 --> 00:10:20.120 four of the azonian bylaws have been met in a satisfactoryy manner sat satisfactoryy manner. Two, the air planning board has determined that the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the standard for grading and clearing the proposed site set forth within subsection 320-9.6.2.D. 38 00:10:22.160 --> 00:10:38.160 Three, the project site consists of parcel ID 1957 consisting of 15 uh 15,360 ft located within the air residents A2 district zoning. The project site is located along Jackson Street and Pearl 39 00:10:38.160 --> 00:10:54.800 Street. The property was originally a vacant a vacant wooded lot but was clear-cut prior to receiving approvals. The project proposes to construct a single family home with an accessory dwelling unit. Right. >> And then as I understand it, we have 36 40 00:10:54.800 --> 00:11:10.480 of our our standard general conditions. >> Yep. You know, there are normal um general conditions that we have on every project. >> Okay. And how many special conditions do we have this time around? >> So for this specific project, we have two. >> Okay. 41 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:28.160 >> And these are both have to do with the resident that lives um at 54 Jackson Street. And um so the first one we have is the applicant shall install 80 ft of fencing along the property line between 50 Jackson Street and 54 Jackson Street. 42 00:11:28.160 --> 00:11:44.560 The location of the fence shall be determined between the applicant and the property owner at 54 Jackson Street. Uh the second special condition is the applicant shall remove the large pine tree along the property line between 50 Jackson Street and 54 Jackson Street. 43 00:11:44.560 --> 00:12:10.240 >> Excellent. Thank you, Danny. Is there anything else we need to address before we open up to public comment? >> Should we go to board comment first before we go? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Let's any board comment? Yes. >> No. >> Okay. How about now? 44 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:25.200 >> All right. I think we can open public comment now. >> I'm opening this up to public comment. Is there anyone in the room who'd like to comments or questions? And Danny, help me here because I can't see very well. >> No, no comments over here. 45 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:41.600 >> Uh, anyone on Zoom? >> Um, I don't see any hands up on Zoom. >> Okay. So, I think we should go to to the decision. >> Okay.

The only thing that we specifically added to this one was the finding that the board had requested 53 00:14:42.079 --> 00:14:57.920 at the last meeting that >> um the number eight. The town of Air makes no guarantee that the privately owned sewer pipe associated with the project can be adequately ser can adequately service the additional flows for the proposed development. And that's 54 00:14:57.920 --> 00:15:15.680 from uh Matt's DBW letter. Yeah, I remember that. And I believe that we already addressed the waiver requests at our previous meeting. Is that Isn't that >> Yep. So, I already have them filled out on here. >> Okay. So, does it make sense to read the findings last meeting? >> Yeah, we Yeah, we did. We voted at them 55 00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:32.959 at the last meeting, right? >> Should I read the findings into the record, Danny? >> Yeah, you can read those. >> Okay. So planning number one, the planning board finds that the site plan contains a design that has provided the foundation for the air planning board to determine that the requirements, standards, and guidelines of the town of 56 00:15:32.959 --> 00:15:47.519 air site plan regulations subsection 320-3.5.4 of the air zoning bylaws have been met in a satisfactory manner. Number two, the air planning board has determined that the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the standard for grading and clearing the proposed site set forth 57 00:15:47.519 --> 00:16:03.839 within subsection 320-9.6.2d. Three, the site project site consists of parcel ID 19-57 that was divided into three ANR lots. Lot one consists of 16,000 square feet. Lot two consists of 15,550 58 00:16:03.839 --> 00:16:20.320 ft and lot three consists of 13,720 square ft. These lots are located within the heir's residents A2 district zoning. The project site is located along Littleton Road. The project proposes to raise the existing single family home in constructing three single family homes 59 00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:37.759 each with accessory dwelling units. Four, because construction site storm water runoff and post construction storm water discharges may permanently alter hydraulic response of local waterheds and increase storm water runoff rates and volumes, which in turn may increase flooding, stream channel erosion, non-point source pollution and sediment 60 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:54.320 transport and de deposition and decrease groundwater recharge. Five, because construction site, storm water runoff, and post construction storm water discharges can adversely affect public safety, public and private property, surface water, groundwater resources, drinking water supplies, recreation, aquatic habitats, fish and other aquatic 61 00:16:54.320 --> 00:17:10.959 life, property values, and other uses of land and water. Danny, if you could scroll for me. Therefore, number six, therefore, it is in the public interest to regulate construction site storm water runoff and post construction storm water discharges in order to minimize the impacts 62 00:17:10.959 --> 00:17:26.559 identified above. Seven, this permit is subject to the town of air stormwater regulations. And as Danny noted earlier, the town of air makes no guarantee that the privately owned sewer pipe associated with this project can adequately serve as the additional flows from the proposed development. 63 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:40.320 Can we open Is there anything else before we open it to uh board discussion, Danny? No. >> Board members, any questions or comments? >> Yes. So, can back can you go back up to where you talked about the house being 64 00:17:40.320 --> 00:17:57.360 raised and add in a house and associated or whatever we call accessory dwelling with the buildings because there's a barn and what not there small garage. >> Good. >> Just a house. It's really any other Okay. buildings on the site, 65 00:17:57.360 --> 00:18:14.400 right? Um so the pro propose the project proposes to raise the existing s single family home along with >> barn/g garage >> right existing other 66 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:36.480 >> other buildings >> other existing yeah open >> okay >> any further comment sorry go ahead Ken >> read this comment every time we have this these four, five and six >> and we have not changed it. So I think 67 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:52.000 >> we need to I mean to put that on an agenda and come up with a discussion about how we do that. >> I don't see this makes any sense to start a sentence with the word because >> understandable we need to talk about that not tonight. >> So storm water rags are potentially at 68 00:18:52.000 --> 00:19:07.200 some point going to become to you at for revisions. Okay. So that's something that we can discuss at that point, >> right? >> It does read weird because basically four and five are setups for the punchline of number six, >> right? But it's 69 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:21.440 >> Yeah, it's because because number five and finding number six. It's like consolidating discussion. >> We're getting into semantics. Fine. >> Um I do have a grammar question. 70 00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:41.360 >> Yes. Go Nathan number three. Also, the it says, and I think Jonathan, you're probably best suited to advise the constructing three single family homes each with an accessory dwelling unit 71 00:19:41.360 --> 00:20:00.559 to remove the ambiguity of how many ADUs there are. >> Yeah, sure. Absolut each. Because of the word each, if you said constructed three single family homes with accessory, you can either drop simply drop the word each and it 72 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:25.440 makes sense. >> Okay. So, just drop the each. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Any other comments or questions from the board? >> Constructing. Shouldn't just be the word construct and con. Yeah. Yep. You're 73 00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:43.440 right. Constructing. >> Yes. And construct. Yes. >> Yep. So, just to underscore, we're we're the same drawing that we reviewed last week. Yep. >> The storm water the storm water system 74 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:59.520 located in part from unit two. >> Yep. >> Yeah. So, it's the plans that are revised date of April 21, 2026. >> Okay. >> So, that's in the first part of the your the plan listing and what? >> Yeah, it's in the materials. >> We go back over that just I was that's a 75 00:20:59.520 --> 00:21:15.600 good question. >> Yep. It's the revised through April 21, 2026 plan. >> And Danny, can you show us where in the decision is the discussion of the structure that's going to be used to um to manage the O, you know, for the O and 76 00:21:15.600 --> 00:21:30.799 M for the storm water. >> So the the reference of the operation and maintenance plan isn't there. >> Okay. So that's where it's covered. >> Yeah. And there's also in our general conditions, our requirements 77 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:47.280 updated uh maintenance plan for storm water system also number 12 which is our 11 and 12 which is the logs and >> that all right good anything else from the board hearing none I'd like to open this up 78 00:21:47.280 --> 00:22:02.159 for public comments starting with the with the room at town hall >> hello um Rachel Kosa 30 gran road is okay there okay um I just had a question with regard to Matt's comments. Um, oh, 79 00:22:02.159 --> 00:22:19.039 thank you, Mr. Chair. Sorry. Um, I just had a question with regard to the DPW comments, uh, regarding the support of the sewer system. So, if that fails, who's responsible for, um, you know, that kind of situation, would that be the town or the builder? 80 00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:36.400 >> The So, the property owners are responsible for that because it's privately owned. >> Okay. So when it's constructed and somebody moves in, will they be notified that that was uh you know something that was an outlier with regard to Okay. >> Yeah. So that'll be so um they're going 81 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:53.120 to set up an HOA um because that's going to be also how they're maintaining the storm water systems. So as part of that the sewer the sewer line that is connecting them is also going to be a part of that. >> Okay. Wonderful. Thank you. >> Yeah. Julie, can you go back to that 82 00:22:53.120 --> 00:23:08.799 language again about the sewer? >> About the sewer. >> Yeah, I think we might want to add something to that. >> These This is Yeah, this is exactly what um Matt's findings, right? >> But we could add another finding like number nine if we wanted to. >> Yes. And what would that finding be? 83 00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:29.679 >> It makes no guarantee that the privately owned sewer pipe associated with this project. I'm thinking along the terms that the it's not clearly stated that that the privately the the existing privately owned sewer line is on an adjacent piece 84 00:23:29.679 --> 00:23:46.080 of property. It almost look you could read it as though it was on the property we're talking about. >> It is. It's on adjacent property. It's on both. >> Okay. It is on both. Yeah. But Okay. So I guess for clarification I was interested if we could put language in 85 00:23:46.080 --> 00:24:01.600 that said the privately owned sewer uh existing on this property and the adjacent property something like that. Well, we can't tie this. We can't talk about the other property. The other property has no nothing to do with this decision. Even though technically the 86 00:24:01.600 --> 00:24:16.640 sewer does run through there, that is a uh private that's >> that's something between the two properties for them to there's there's already an existing easement between the two properties currently. >> So, we don't want that. 87 00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:35.840 >> That's putting more than is necessary. It's not within the scope. It's possible um to Rachel's question, the builder may address this >> during construction. >> They have to increase the size, clean it 88 00:24:35.840 --> 00:24:52.320 out, and simple. >> It's they we're we are just making them aware. >> Yeah. Everyone aware there's there's an issue. >> Mhm. >> Well, the the issue is more there could be an issue. >> Yeah, there could be the issue. Yeah. It's the size of it. We don't know. and 89 00:24:52.320 --> 00:25:08.000 we don't know the condition of it. So that's kind of a they'll most likely the the the developer will just sc um do run a camera through it to see the the um the condition of it. >> Okay. So maybe just add one word if you 90 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:24.400 think it's okay. Put the word existing ahead of the word privately. >> The existing >> kind of image out so that it wouldn't be thought that potentially this is a new privately owned sewer system. >> Yeah. >> Or sewer pine. I've added that in. >> Good. So, the the way it reads now, the 91 00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:40.159 town of Air makes no guarantee. Does it have to be Do we have to say the town of Air and the planning board? It's just assumed because we're the planning board, part of the town of Air that >> it's all the same statement. >> Yeah. >> Town of air makes no guarantee that the existing 92 00:25:40.159 --> 00:25:56.480 seal pipe associated with the project can Okay, >> because remember the board is not going to be the one who, you know, enforcing that. It would be it would be another entity most likely. DPW and building would be the ones who make those determinations. 93 00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:10.880 >> All right. So, I'm happy with just adding the word existing. So, there's no misunderstanding that it's it's there right now. >> Yeah. >> And they're trying to use an existing situation. >> Yep. And I put that in. >> Okay. >> Do we have any public comment from uh 94 00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:28.240 anyone on Zoom? >> Bimhut. >> Hi, good evening everyone. Um to do it by yourself. >> I know I just called you by name, but you know the rules, you know. >> Yeah. >> Um, just for the record, limitive engineer at GPR. 95 00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:45.200 >> Hope everybody's doing well. Um, I only have one quick question for for Danny, uh, in regards to general condition number 16, I believe. >> Yeah, I did get your comment and I have revised it on mine. >> Okay, then. >> And so what he's talking about is right 96 00:26:45.200 --> 00:27:02.000 here. Um the date it's that's not the right date. Uh it's April 21, 2026. So I've already updated that on on my draft. >> Well, my I guess my question is more for the actual condition itself because it says the you know last revised plan has 97 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:18.480 to be submitted electronically um to the building commission and >> I'm sorry, building commissioner and planning department. Um as far as I'm concerned, I don't think we have anything else left to be submitted. Um, no, >> it's just Okay. >> Yeah. No, no, it's just kind of like one 98 00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:35.120 of our general conditions when if it's typically when that is because if we get um any special conditions that make a revision to a plan, they need to get uh submitted so that we have the final form. Yours is already final, so we know 99 00:27:35.120 --> 00:27:50.400 that. So, we're not expecting another set. >> Gotcha. Dan. >> Yeah. >> Why did you say lastly instead of last? >> The lastly. Lastly, revised. >> I don't know. >> Just last, please. >> Last. Okay. >> Yeah, >> sounds good to me. 100 00:27:50.400 --> 00:28:07.440 >> Thank you. >> Okay, >> that's all I got. Thank you. >> Okay, great. Um, any other public comment? >> Um, I don't see anybody else with their hands up. 101 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:22.799 >> So, are we ready for a a decision then? >> I get one more question on the language. So can you go to that section again Danny? >> Which one? >> The very last one before before started prior to site work I think it was. >> Oh >> so just number 15. 102 00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:38.799 >> This is just just my own information. It says the site plan approval decision shall be recorded. >> Yep. >> Does that include the drawings? >> No. >> Just the decision is what we >> The only plans that ever get recorded are subdivisions. >> I knew that but I wasn't sure if we had 103 00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:55.520 language for that in here. So >> just record the decision. >> Yeah. just the decision because the decision references the the drawings. >> Okay. >> And we we keep them on record. >> The decision does include the general conditions, >> right? Any special conditions, waiverss. 104 00:28:55.520 --> 00:29:12.480 >> Yeah. So again it's for the public's information that when we talk about things need to be monitored storm water systems for example this is this is a mechanism that is recorded in the deed such that at every purchase 105 00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:27.919 >> there's an opportunity >> to review this >> correct? >> Yeah. >> All righty then. Danny is there anything else we need to do before we come to a decision? >> Nope. I will certainly entertain a motion. >> There's no special conditions. Zero 106 00:29:27.919 --> 00:29:42.880 special conditions. >> No, zero special conditions on this one. >> All right. Uh I make a motion to approve. >> Do we want to do two separate ones? You want to start the the site plan and the minor? >> You start with the site plan. I just >> Great. I I want to make a motion to 107 00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:58.640 approve the site plan uh pursuant to subsection 320-3.5 site plan review of Arizonazoning bylaw subject to the standard conditions 1 through 36. Seconded. >> Any further discussion? 108 00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:13.520 Hearing none. Ken, >> yes. >> Nathan, >> hi. >> Julie, >> yes. >> Kathleen, >> yes. >> And the chair votes I.

I'd like to make a motion uh to approve the minor storm water management per permit pursuant to subsection 245-5 and six subject to the general conditions numbered 1 through would that be >> through 36 110 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:48.480 >> 1 through 36 in this decision. >> Yep. >> Second. >> Any further discussion hearing?

My comment question has nothing to do with 116 00:32:06.320 --> 00:32:23.679 your discussion tonight. I was scouring your website. Is the project at 63 Main Street still open? >> No. >> So, it is correctly under processed um applications. 117 00:32:23.679 --> 00:32:39.519 >> Yes. >> I did not see a decision. So, I'm a little confused. Is it >> um Let me just double check that right now while I'm here. Uh >> but the last meeting I attended, I don't remember it being approved, 118 00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:55.840 >> which is fine. >> Um oh, I I did not post the um approved decision, but um the decision has been approved was approved at the um which meeting was it?

I'll make sure it's up on the website. We actually just 120 00:33:12.080 --> 00:33:28.159 um the 20-day appeal period is up and all that. So, we're going to be um I'll make sure that's up on the website. >> All right. Thank you. Have a good night. Uh before we adjourn this evening, I want to acknowledge that two of our board colleagues, Nathan and Kathleen, 121 00:33:28.159 --> 00:33:44.880 are uh rolling off the board this year.
