um so we have select board meeting minutes we've got meeting minutes one two three four five so I would motion to approve select board meeting minutes from February
24th March 3rd and March 10th as written second second any discussion all in favor I and then motion to approve the executive session meeting minutes from January 27th and March 10th as
written do that second any discussion all in favor I I all right um passing the signature do we have any audience
participation comments all right come down George there you go for your request last Wednesday eron petite the plumbing inspector Bill Clark
plumber from Chester and I met at the Oldtown hall building and to get a quote on three different projects one putting a spet which would be B proof and tamper
proof on the forest side of the building outside so that b Centennial Park could be maintained this spring and summer the second uh part of the project was to deal with the pipe that runs out that doesn't drain properly yeah and the
third was to replace the washers and the drip and fix the drip in the sink in the uh just off the fire department's Training Center which is constantly dripping um I pass these along to
you here's the one for the Hang feeling with the hanging pipe and this one has uh that also has the uh the spet I think Al also on it okay and this one has to do with the major
project of the outside spet it was helpful to have both Aaron and Bill there at the same time because we spent time going over what was needed to do it right and came up with a estimate and a plan to do it all right so we got
$49 for the this is the necessary hangers to the sagging and then this is for the outdoor right jeez so we they have to run quite a bit of pipe
$1,350 for the outdoor um okay where would we would be taking this Finance out of the um the maintenance would this be under maintenance for Old Town Hall it really
should be yeah so I guess we first have to see if we have um about $2,000 in that line yeah she laughs um yeah it's about if not we have
have a team move it out of reserve the back yeah and we're meeting on THS th have to okay um so once we get the numbers that we'll go ahead and move forward with this soon the better
Thursday okay so I once we get the numbers um the amount in the account unless we want to approve it and then do it um contingent upon if the money's in there TJ you want to just do that yeah that makes sense um
did we get anything from Jeff I know he was working on getting a quote from his son his son said that he was gonna give a quote but I don't have anything as of yet okay I know that he looked at it I don't want to step on Jeff's
toes um he's not here he won't be with should we wait until next week so that we give Jeff time to put get the quote in what do you think I think we probably should well is it going to be any more
than what he has here anything it might I don't know L the hope is there might be left so if you approve this financially yeah then then I can have a benon team review it and say this is what it's
going to be at next we wouldn't go anything over okay so then we could say um yeah I don't know how we approve it without approving the specific code though um up to Pro spending up to
what's this Math 500 plus 850 um up to $1,850 um for the plumbing and then you're specific why not just why not just make it a la two
grand that way there up to $2,000 for the plumbing repairs at Old Hall that sound sloppy it's not even on the agenda okay so let's do it next weekend then we'll put it on the agenda for
yeah um Christina will you reach out to Jeff I was starting to some but I was able to that and I'll give you these thank you all right George what else you got okay my other issue is that Saturday I received a response to my request for records that
was not signed so I don't know who to respond to um whoever prepared the letter and the question is there's tremendous confusion because whoever wrote the letter apparently is not aware of the blanford Massachusetts fiscal
policies manual well I can tell you that our attorneys drafted that letter okay and our policies don't govern what we have in office office like I we don't have those reports that you're looking for those reports originally many many
years ago were required by the state they're no longer required by the state in that fashion so we don't have possession of those reports so we cannot furnish them for you my question is then this whole is
obsolete because if this is an adopted policy of the town you should be following it well if we don't have those documents because they're not required well they're required to acced this that's the question we only required to provide any documents that
are in our custody these documents are not in our custody I apparently that's so my question is though is this town policy are you asking me if the document you're holding is Town policy is this
the town policy very the financial operation what do you need it was 5302 20 24 so that's less than a year ago this was adopted what do you need what I need is what I requested and that
was I'll read it to you section e of this document requires that on a quarterly basis a report is prepared by the treasurer and distributed to the board of Selectmen the Town Administrator the financial and advisory Financial advisory committee the report
shall include the following in information as a minimum a listing of individual accounts and individual Securities held at the end of the reporting period a list listing of the short-term investment
Port portfolio by security type and maturity date to ensure compliance with the diversification and maturity guidelines established in the quote diversification unquote section of the IPS and summaries of income earned on a
monthly basis to the year to- dat basis a degree of compliance with the tenant set forth in the IPS so that's directed at the treasurer and accountant
yes and they don't have them I don't know I assume they were be I assume this was policy being followed if it's not policy there's about why why are we 38 pages that it's it's not being followed in terms of the problem that
we're looking for the storage I'm looking for the results of the investment of monies that have either been given or left to the town of Blandford and who's manag them and what the earning level is of these compart and I don't find anybody who has answers
to that now are are you referring to uh trust or any monies that came to the town as either given as a donation or trusts or left to the town in any wayed by the treasur that that that
would be Sarah Hunter's domain okay she would be the one that you would have to so whoever is charged with if this is in effect if this is an effect it should have been abandoned officially if it is an effect you folks should be getting these reports and don't have a darn idea
what's going on fiscally with the town's Investments I okay thank you George what do you what else do you have for us so that's what I'm looking for can I get this information we will forward it to the treasure what else do you need George because your three minutes are almost up I'm sorry I thought this was
important yeah well well it is I agree with you but we I mean we don't get all that I mean you're you're asking for things that don't even exist you ask for fiscal year 26 we're not even there yet I thought we were in fiscal year we're
in fiscal year 25 sir fiscal year 26 starts July first okay BR do you have a question I was just going to add to to help you out there this is covered in the town report every year not the details not last
year's usually it is not the ear the earnings aren't in it and the the balance is not in it so just know George when you're reaching out and asking for these things it does take treasures and accountants away from Daily Business this is nothing that you should be able
to make a c I know but but our our I I don't have concerns right now with accountants and treasurers work that they're doing we we don't have maor so your official position is you're Aban this that's not my official position I said thank you for your information Well's and now we're going to move along
what's the potential of gting this information that I requested we'll reach out to Sarah okay I look forward to it thank you me too all right Highway Department Ray hi Ray what do you got for us
uh last week Board of Health and myself we went down to n Brook and address the issue it's been taking a rise ended up uh speaking to her and I went down looked at it today and she is
making Le weighing some progress so she's doing good yeah so um I did end up sending her an email with uh some direction that I'd like to see her going forth especially since she has a piece
of equipment down there so hopefully uh we see some action okay taken on that so the chips are did we figure out gone fantastic okay and that we think the ditch is clear for it's getting there okay did she spread it or did she pick
it up she's the chips are gone pushed in into the paddock area the uh manure she scooped as much she could I advised her to end up taking that tractor again and pulling all the material all the manure and shavings and stuff that's and pull
it into the actual bucket and take it out that way so the hill is completely clear and I told her I said you know you need contact for me I gave her my email and Shop number if she needs end up getting hold of me good all right awesome thank you let take care
I spoke with PCH tur I ended up the finch Turf I need the parts for the uh Buffalo blower that vendor one that you sent in yeah I called them to see if over the
weekend if they got the paperwork they didn't get it yet so no I told them by Friday I'll reach out to him I was hoping that at least the line of credit opened up rather than being on a cash account that's fine that was one concern that I
had um I also wanted to end up uh talking to the board about setting up some type of mutual aid for equipment because there is equipment that the town could benefit on using that other towns have rather
than purchasing it and I know there's equipment that other towns to be using of ours MH but it needs to be reciprocated yeah you know wear and tear we can't be having our equipment just going out and not getting anything in
returned so I don't know if the board would like to end up setting up something with legal and seeing getting some literature Wroten up at least so it's proper and it has a benefit for both parties not just for us
not just for the other town we had a um situation with a mower in the past I don't know what that was um like a push mower no roadside mower eversource yeah yeah that was a program that they
had going around yeah it was ance program yeah yeah um so that I guess that sounds like it's something different but yeah we would have to have people look at something and then Insurance wise Brad didn't we start mut agreement with all towns around us
through the state I'm five or six years ago okay I have a copy of it in my office down there see it right I can okay did it up to you but I think there is a mutual there's something already in place yeah I think there's something already in place it's just that a lot of times people forget about it and it gets
pushed off and kind of forgotten about I think I think that Brad's right because I remember not too long ago we borrowed all a roller from worington no no the other W there you go
there you go I know it was a w yeah so maybe there just needs to be a list out there of what everyone has and what they're willing to lend and they need yeah yeah all right just that that was one of my concerns um want to end up
addressing okay uh I spoke also with uh the representative for Maya Insurance Shannon uh how she's the new representative for Matt okay from the accident his old representative retired
and left him in the dark so she stepped up and we had a good conversation I got her all the information she needed I had Matt come in the office he ended up speaking with also um I gave the bill information for Noble and last I heard
last week she was going to track it down the noble and make sure it gets taken care of so awesome unless something comes back it should be getting taken care of so I was glad that we got some leeway on that also I got two new hires here yep
okay eventually if you guys would like to speak with them that' be good okay are they on the agenda for old business because it was on the agenda for last week so I have them here for you guys look at okay other than that just staying busy and getting stuff ready for
a couple projects that we have uh on the horizon okay sounds for me no I don't think so no thank you thank you thank you all right Christina what do you got for us so
uh I've sent out an invitation for the April 7th select board meeting for conservation planning zoning assessors fire Board of Health and Springfield water sewer to attend so that we can discuss the battery energy storage
systems that are being proposed um so that's on the going to be on the agenda and the invitation has been sent out okay uh Friday some of you may have noticed but we had hamton County Sheriff's recruits here uh they did a wonderful job with the flower beds and
clearing out all the swes from the leaves around uh Town Hall they did a wonderful job um but we don't know how to get rid of the leaves now so I'm be talk they should they usually go in the pile over here Doug said that pile there's a lot of leaves out there
yeah a lot of leaves and he said that pile is not big enough for that so might have to be taken away there's that many leaves she bought 30 bags and I gave them four rolls of giant black bags obviously we can't throw the
bags but yeah yeah so there's a lot of leads out there okay so we got to figure it out talk to Ray and talk to Doug some more okay thank you um they were also working in Chester so they were kind of going between but as a sign of appreciation I did bring them all pizza
so okay um and they have uh these classes that are graduating and that have to do community service quite often so hopefully we can get some more suggestions on how they can help out with some outdoor
upkeep um see oh we had a final meeting with Weston and Samson about a possible feasibility study for the use of town hall and it's just not feasible
basically uh so what would happen is to have the fire department be located in this building everything in this building would need to be brought up to the specials code for a fire department yeah the cost of that would be very exorbitant uh they didn't of course
don't quote them on the number but if they had to Gess around 18 million all in so I think that we've exhausted all possibilities uh We've looked at all PES and I will reach out to the OPM and see what next steps are as far as getting an informational session together for the
community y we didn't ask yeah we definitely have question yeah for me well yeah whoever wants to answer whatever happened with the herb part property for the fire station
that's that would be a question that would be addressed at the informational meeting they um research any properties yeah so when we do the informational meeting they're going to go they're going to property by property go over every single one and give all the is either issues good or bad with each
individual property one across the street 89,000 still buy it huh still what else do you have Christina um that's kind of it for me uh oh still the COA vehicle is
registered got I got it sticker just waiting on the uh seal to be completed so that I can put them on both doors and that's that's it for me oh working on a system with marget where COA takes priority but she's going to work with me if somebody else comes in
she's going to make sure she tells me when she needs it in case Christina needs to take the vehicle somewhere okay so okay that sounds good um persono the meeting with for the um the batteries
you said that's April okay um will you just check with Town Council beforehand about if I don't know so we I know we pass the bylaw I guess my question is what would um it take to resend it
and could it be rescinded if we already have a couple storage units in town um just kind of like what are okay I can check I don't um I I believe it's my understanding that the what we have on the books for a
bylaw is like basic stuff just to have something there okay but um I will reach out to Legal okay I'm just I was thinking I'm not even sure if we we don't have a fire department that would be capable of handing a fire that size no I don't
okay um all right next up we have Jennifer Gerard thank you Christina um so actually I wasn't going to report on anything but I do have and I'm not sure because I know finances here um the Board of Health has uh some two bills to
pay off to finish this block Che okay and um so we need $5,000 okay from where well I don't know that would be up to you guys but you know we do have to finish it yeah so you
didn't you um it wasn't budgeted for for this no we didn't budget that and we've already taken money out of our budget to pay for some of the um lingering or the other bills um Christina today signed up on the grant for the 6,000 so now we
need to pay um a balance on one of the invoices and then we have another invoice for 3,300 so you're looking for money to pay for services that have already been yes that's kind of a big question we're
going have to run that through Finance well I know that I heard her say sorry that they were meeting this Thursday or soon so this would be the time because I mean come on look at all the money you guys SP I love the idea of it I think it's
awesome um I'm just not sure uh the exact procedures I mean did the town not already vote to move forward with the swap shop right I mean I thought she came to the board we we definitely talked about 15,000 you still came can I just say you
still came to the board before you started building Y and said this is what we're GNA do and the board agreed to it correct now it's gone from 15,000 now it's 5,000 and you're covered if it's
5,000 okay so I would not say that she did not go through the right process at this she's now to the point of saying okay what the net is now X so we need to pay the bill that's different than I did the work and then I'm going to come and
ask you for the money right very different uh yeah I guess I'm a little confused about just what we voted on at the meeting I just would like to look at that that's all not that I don't agree I mean I love the idea of that everything I support it I just want to make sure we're doing it correctly that's
all um I wasn't there for that meeting yeah did they vote did they say I they didn't vote we just talked about it we said that it was going to cost us around uh but 20,000 and we had a $6,000 Grant so it would probably be about about uh
15 we'd be asking okay and now we and but now it's done and now and I probably asked then where was that going to come from and you said we're going to come back we're going to so and now it's down to five because we have it from budget
the most we could without going over on our budget okay I do think this is the process that we're going to have to like streamline yeah exactly you got the library coming up yeah yeah exactly so there's all this coming
up the least all right um so so we can Finance talk about that on Thursday and then come to us with what you recommend okay awesome all right thank you um action
item so we put this on the agenda because it wasn't on the agenda last week we wanted to a motion to appoint Ray man halta I'm never gonna sayte um keep changing it on no Highway
superintendent to the emergency man uh to the emergency management team for the term March 31st 20 31st 2025 to June 30 2026 is there a second favor I um motion to um approve the extension
of our interim contract with um rainy cicle um for the purpose of training second any discussion yes St does that does that not need does that need to be
posted no we just continuing his it's a continuation his contract so so I have I have a question you have to back me up a little bit here when you hired Mr help this is no offense to him you hired him the posting said you were looking for someone that was qualified for this
position yeah and why are we now going over and above to give him money for training when you had someone who was obviously overqualified for the job that was in the interview for the two so are
you so are you asking for executive uh meeting information no I'm just asking for clarification of the hiring valid point of the hiring the yes so we felt that the ray indiv job by the way I've been
told I I don't work in town so I've been told he's doing a great job I'm not um I can tell you Steve that we felt that um Ry demonstrated really strong potential even if he didn't have the of experience um that some other candidates may may not offer um we felt that he was really
familiar with the needs of our community and our infrastructure um and that he could continue the operations um while we felt like it was investment in our community um one of the reasons we decided to go with Rey and that part of that um was
going to involve some of the training we knew that um but we felt our decision was a commitment to the leadership that we saw the qualities that we wanted um in that position and also um Christina was nice enough to find that um under
the math General Law chapter 41 section 107 and section 23 um you know the select board have the authority to negotiate temporary or extended agreements for department heads to allow for training guidance or acclamation to the role this is the case Okay so the
next question is is there a dollar amount attached to that training I we have um made an agreement um the select board agreed on an agreement with Rainey for the until I think we said three months but that was an executive
session question oh okay so that's not public information um not sure I I suppose that that would be public information we haven't signed that yet so I'm not sure inform okay then you shouldn't vote on
it at this point that's that was my that was my should vote on until those appearing if if you're both agreed to in an executive session yeah those executive minutes should be published and then you should vote on accepting your contract because the public has the right to know okay what that contract
says so I don't even know do I have the contract here and then the followup question that would be where's the money coming from for the for raid it's coming out of the highway um budget salary budgetary um um I don't have a contract
to sign well I have a yeah the temporary appointment position the amendment is that what this says no so Dave you're saying not voting on the contract I don't think we've ever voted to do exe release executive minutes before well approving contct you
reach agreement on a contract yeah then then that contract needs to be public before you vote on because you're voting on okay public monies okay money already
allocated after that point yeah the fact is that youve completed executive session only remains as executive until the purpose is accomplished your purpose is now
accomplished you reached the dream rainy you're about to ready to sign that contract therefore what you agree to in that as part of that contract that contract should be open to the public before it gets signed before it gets signed before
it gets Ved on so just like just like your teaching negotiations you go through the whole process then you reach an agreement on the contract that contract becomes open public knowledge for school Community I don't know if we've ever done for clarification that's what I was
trying to get at I'm I have a cop you just said it was public okay so yeah so um we negotiated down um from where what we were paying rainy previously um so we're paying
1,150 um per week for um the time that he'll be doing the training how many hours a week does that go how many does that um we are uh it's a contract whatever hours are needed so he can work one hour a week or he can work 50 hours
he will not be working one hour a week like any salary person like any salary and how long is this is there till June 30th Jun yep um and we also have a deliverable coming from him um thank you does he still get to keep
the vehicle to take home as far as that per he is using the vehicle for the time being so is that included in his in his to that's included yeah is that in that contract and signed in that contract as well uh I believe so a lot of times on his way in he stops
and picks up parts and stuff on his way in all in favor all right o' morning all right so we have oh there's the public hearing all right um we have approve the
contract I think we already did that with Ray yeah I'm sorry that that's I carried it forward from the last all right so we have no new business and we have old business we have um did I do the certification of announcement I didn't do that no okay proove the
Commonwealth cert certificate of announcement confirming we follow the state laws for a public hearing where is that in here that's not the ever I put a note on it telling you what it is this is blurry and it makes me think that I can't see anything is this
