I wanted to ask one thing before I forget. Um, are you going to the Mac conference, Scott? The fall conference? Yeah. I'm not planning to go to that. I will probably go to the spring conference. Okay. Um, I think I want to go to this one because it's about housing and I'm
on the housing committee. Okay. So, how would I set that up? Um, I think probably it's pro easiest for you to sort of pay for it and then we reimburse you from from the town uh the
conservation commission budget. But if you want, you could call um Jessica Murphy at at the town offices and ask her. Okay. And she's she's very helpful, so she could probably figure out the easiest way to do it.
Okay, I'll do that. That's like a a way for me to say I'm really not sure. I don't know. So, all right. So, uh I'm going to throw up the agenda and um
well, I don't even know that I need to throw it up. You know, the first agenda item is David Powell, who came to us last month with an RDA to try to put some uh some modifications to storm water management on his driveway or
their driveway. We asked for additional detail about it and uh when I emailed him uh to ask if he'd be ready to present to us, he said, "No, not not this month, but hopefully next month." So just by putting it on
the agenda, it makes it easy uh to to then take it up again next month without having to readvertise it in the newspaper. So um this is an announcement that we will be considering that RDA at our October meeting um which I can't
remember now what the date is for that. Anybody have it right off hand? The 15th is the third Wednesday. 15th. Okay. Thank you. Then there's the uh the ritual approving of the minutes or the request if there's
any corrections or additions. Fine. All right. All in favor of approving the minutes? I I I All right. That's easy. See, we're two down with one more major one to go.
So, this um I'm sure you read my email and you got a sense of what's going on, but the town is putting together a continuity of operations plan as part of a continuity of government
uh plan for emergency management purposes. So if something were to happen uh you know like during tropical storm Irene, you know there were so many um roadstream crossings and that were either completely damaged
or destroyed like over a thousand of them that communities were ended up completely cut off from the outside world and so that you often then communications can fail and other things can fail. So, you know, some kind of a natural disaster of that
scale or a major tornado or hurricane or, you know, as it said in the instructions, you know, some kind of a weapon of mass destruction, you know, if we became attacked and could we still continue to operate as a government?
And then specifically each commission and every department needs to have a an annex to the plan that talks about how we are going to maintain our operations in the case of such an emergency.
And so um I I jotted down some ideas. It's it's one of those things where and this is where I I welcome any kind of input along the way as as as we're thinking this through. You know, I think about what's the most important thing
that the conservation commission would be doing in the case of an emergency. And I don't think it's like RDAs or notices of intent so much as just emergency certificates, you know, making it, you know, official when people
actually responding to emergency situations out there or the need for emergency repairs. And so that's I see as the main thing that we would want to focus on for this plan. But it also talks about how we
would continue operations for 30 days after the emergency. Um, and so that means, okay, well, maybe we do need to be able to continue to review notices of intent and and RDAs, not so much in the midst of an
emergency, but if for some reason, you know, town hall or town offices were unavailable or for some reason um, you know, otherwise we couldn't access our files or we couldn't access our, you know, email or thing things like that.
So, I think for this agenda item, we should think about both, but I don't think we're going to be the most vital department in the town when an emergency strikes. And I think if they have a hard time finding us, they're just going to go ahead with emergency repairs anyway.
And um and who could blame them for that? So, let me just pause there as you know, sort of an introduction to the topic and see if there's any comments or questions. Yeah, just on the feasible account that the worst worst case scenario, Scott,
would we have like a in-person meeting if we couldn't be able to reach through internet, phone, whatever? Would that be like more like protocol to an in-person meeting for anything or Yeah, I mean, that's a possibility. It's sort of the reverse of what you would expect, which is, okay, you can't get to
town hall because of flooding. How are you going to hold a meeting? It's like, well, we would always do them remotely, so that's not a problem, but if Zoom's not available, if the internet's not available, then what do we do? Um, and so those are the kinds of things I'm
thinking about is and say, okay, well, if the internet's not available, then we might be able to use our cell phones to to meet via Zoom. But but what if the cell is out and the internet is out? It's like, well, you know, I guess sometimes we're reachable by landlines,
those of us who still have landlines or or, you know, you could physically knock on the door and say, "We got to meet at town hall." Um, so any other thoughts before we try to dive into some of the specifics? Well, I wonder if we um in the case of an
emergency that was something that we have more knowledge about than the average lay person, maybe we could um you know give advice. Yeah.
I don't know how to um capture that in words, but I'm just thinking how could we be useful? like I um if there were it's hard to imagine because you can't imagine what kind of emergency it would be, right? But I think it's important for people to
contribute um what they what they can and that's something that we might be able to do if it if it were an emergency that had something to do with um wetlands or storm water. I don't know.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I guess one option would be to try to brainstorm when we might be the experts that they need to seek out and the other Yeah, it seems unlikely. I can't think of any right off the bat. You know, what
if we were like completely, you know, ambushed by hordes of salamanders that were clogging up all the storm drains and yeah, I don't know. Um the other is just to assume that they will know when they need our advice and focus on how
they can make sure that they can get in touch with the conservation commission if and whenever they need to either to ask our advice or to get an emergency search so that they can you know respond to the to the emergency. So, have we ever had an emergency like
this, say a hurricane or something like that that would affect roads and crossings and um not that to my knowledge in weight or not in my memory, but there have been other towns like um Holly for instance
and and during tropical storm Irene uh you know they needed to try to do some things to try to keep the roads open, but it's really hard to find the conservation commission to get approval for the work. And so I think that's an
example where, you know, if the phones are down, you know, where do they go? How do they find us? And so I think that's probably the main thing that that is probably going to be useful that we could put into the plan is, you know, how to make sure that they
can reach us if they need to. And then I think the second thing I would say is how do we make sure that each conservation commission has access to the files and to the email account so that if you need to act on behalf of the commission you have the you know the
access to you know to email and to files that that might might come in handy or or might be necessary. Kelly, do you know of any other towns that are doing this? Any of the other five or four towns doing this?
Not really, but honestly, probably it's something that everyone should start thinking about. Um, just given the trajectory of things and how the climate is changing and whatnot. Um, yeah. I I think, you know, given a a
severe enough storm, there's I mean, Williamsburg has a lot of uh real estate on the river and a lot of foot bridges that people use to get to their houses. And you know, if if those got swept out, people would be uh in a lot of trouble and need a lot of a lot of permitting
through concom if that's you know, something that would still be feasible to do uh if it were bad enough. But yeah, I think I think more towns should be starting to think about that.
So in the in the the ideas that I put together on paper and sent you, I focused primarily on how people can find us and get in touch with us and then how each of us could have access to email
and files and and be able to execute the job of the conservation commission even if things were really going to hell in a hand basket. Um, so maybe we can start there and just look at those items and talk through those and then see if there
are any we want to cross off or modify or if there are some that I haven't thought of that we should add to that list. And um, you know, an important element of this is that in the case of an emergency, any member of the conservation commission can approve work
on an emergency basis. Uh the idea is is that that work would then have to be ratified at a meeting of the conservation commission subsequent to that. But so that one of the things that they suggest in there is
to have sort of a hierarchy of of contacts, you know, so you maybe you start by trying to reach the chair of the commission and then if you can't reach that person, then here's the second person you go to and then the third. And you know, I suggest that we
establish that kind of a hier hierarchy so that people know, you know, who to go to first and then if that doesn't work, who to go to next. I think that for some of this stuff and and this could be written in you know Kelly as a you know a full-time employee
may be more accessible than any of us you know and and you know just making sure her contact information is in the plan is I think a good idea. We could also look at potentially, you know, sort of deputizing Kelly to act on
behalf of the commission in the case of emergencies if none of the commissioners can be reached, you know, immediately for a response. So we could either, you know, put Kelly in the hierarchy wherever we think that should be or we
can, you know, just stipulate that, you know, here's the hierarchy, but if no commissioners can be reached, then the conservation agent is so empowered as to act in on our behalf. That sound okay? Yeah, that sounds good.
That makes sense. All right. So, let me see that. I'm working on my laptop because I'm in Wellfleet right now and uh I noticed you're back different. Yeah, I'm not used to trying to share stuff on my laptop when I don't have
multiple screens. Uh so bear with me while I uh try to pull this up. All right. All right. So, let's see. How can I get rid of this thingy? All right. Can you see that? Okay.
Yes. Word document. Yes. So, it's sort of this the intro. We've already gone through the idea that um you know in case of emergency one commissioner can authorize work. Um but
we need a better system now to to make sure that if any of you have to act on behalf of the commission that you have all the information that you need as well as access to the email account. So the first recommendation is that all commissioners should have access to the
email account. And we could also add to that the building inspector signoff system. You know, if I realize that this can be important not just in the case of an emergency, but in the case of sort of a personal emergency. So, if I'm the only
one who knows how to get into the building inspector signoff system and I end up in the hospital and unavailable, somebody's got to be able to do this in mystead. So, um it's just seems like it's past time to make sure that all of
you have access to these systems, the email account and the building inspector signoff system. Um, and then when do you when do you use the building inspector sign off system? It's uh as the chair I get
well the conservation commission um email account gets messages that say that there is a a building inspection uh a building inspector program a
building permit application pending that needs the conservation commission sign off. So then I can usually just click on a link in that email message and it takes me to their system. Um, but you know there's a there's a password. You would need to
know the password and and in order to sign in and then you would also have to go in and familiarize yourself with the system in order to know exactly what to do if you were going to sign off. So the way that I generally handle this is that
I um I will look up the address. I'll look it up on the uh the web mapper, the mass mapper uh website and just look I'll pull up the wetlands uh data layer. I'll
I'll I'll look at the topographic map. I look at images. A lot of times it's areas that I know and it's like, yeah, I know there's no wetlands near there. So, I'll just sign off if there are no wetlands anywhere nearby. In other cases, I have to write to the people and
I'll say, "Where on your property are you planning to do this?" Because you do have wetlands in the back of your property. If this is something you're just going to do on the front of your property, that's fine. But if it's in the back, you'll have to come see us. And so that's the the role that we play
is just we have to sign off to make sure that people who get building permits don't think that that's the green light to go ahead and start building. that sometimes there are other jurisdictions that they have to address as well. So, it's a way of making sure that u that
we're notified when people are preparing to to build. Okay, Scott, I do have uh access to the building permit signoffs and that's something that I've been doing for a couple of the other towns. So, in an emergency that's set up, but I do still
think that others should also have access. Yeah. And um that's something that um we could empower Kelly to be the primary person doing that and then she would, you know, come to me if there are questions or if there are areas that she
didn't she didn't know. So I think so far I think I've been a little slow in in sort of handing stuff off to Kelly. Uh just trying to make sure that things get off on the right foot for all five towns. But Kelly, if you feel like you've got the bandwidth to take on some
of this, um, it might make the whole system more efficient in addition to, uh, sort of taking some of the work off of my plate. Yeah, I I don't get notifications, weirdly, when there's a new building permit, but I check the site every couple of days. But usually usually
you're a little faster than I am. Yeah. Well, um the other thing is um if if you have access to the email account, you could be checking that on a daily basis and you'll see the notifications. Um and and it's just a matter of you and
I being in communication and saying, "Okay, you know, you can take care of this, please." Or, you know, I'm on vacation. Can you take care of this? Um so um so with that sort of introduction, how do you feel about the first
recommendation that you know everybody gets uh all the uh credentials for the email account and for the building inspector signoff system and then also get set up for that. you know, get it set up on your computer, get it set up
on your phone so that if you know the internet is down, but you have access to cell, you can still get into the email uh and see what's in there and you can see any messages related to the emergency or otherwise.
That makes sense. Sure. Okay. Um second recommendation is that you know right now you know the paper files come in some of the paper files are in my
house some of them are in the in the town offices uh they really need to be at the town offices and um you know I also now almost always get some kind of electronic version so that I have an electronic version of the notices of
intent and RDAs and I typically send them off to you as Well, so I don't feel like I'm I need to have the paper, but you know, I've got to be better at making sure all that paper ends up at the town offices and and um
but you don't always have access to all of the information that I have, you know. So if there are now if there's if you have access to the email account you can go in and see some of the email chatter that might be happening behind the scenes when somebody is you know
putting forward a an NOI or an RDA. Uh but also we should have a file sharing application where anytime an electronic file comes in that's that's part of the conservation commission's formal um you
know record that it it goes into this file sharing application so that all of you have the same access that I have to whatever comes in. So sometimes it might be you know a forest cutting plan or it might be
something else but you know some of it will be in the email and some of it would be in this file uh sharing app something like um uh either Google Drive or a one drive or sharepoint or you know we'd have to figure out which would work
best. So thoughts about that? I have um with well I had the Ashefield IT set up a one drive that I made folders on for each town. Um so some commissioners for some
towns have access to a folder where I put all of my files. Um and then some have uploaded their own and I can access those and it's it's been a good system so far for those who are using it. Um, it can be a little tricky when you're
first gaining access to it. Some some folks have had some trouble getting to the folder, but um, that's what's been working for me for for some of the other towns so far. So, maybe we could try adapting that. And Scott, you can upload
some files if you have them electronically, and I don't have them. Um, and then this winter or possibly next winter, depending how busy things get, I've wanted to go through and scan some of the paper files that are in the different town halls so that I have
those electronically in case of such an emergency. Um, but that's that's a little bit down the road. Yeah. No, that sounds good to me. Anybody have any issues with a one drive
account account to try to address this? I'm not familiar with it, but if it's working for other towns, I will just trust Kelly on it. Yeah, same here. Yeah, sounds good. Yeah, that would be great. And and then
I can upload 20 years worth of files that I've got on my computer and all of the letters and all of the orders of conditions and things like that. Um, okay. So, we'll set that up. Kelly, I'll ask you to take the lead on that one as well. And um and just let us
know, you know, what the um the username will be and what the Yeah. So, or the uh password and or set a share. Yeah. I think I think how it works is I have to add email addresses directly and
then it should send you an invite to to get on and hopefully that works. That's where the issues have been coming in for for other people. But I guess we'll see and we'll workshop it. Yeah. And um one of the things that I realized as I was thinking through this
thing is is that now that Kelly is uh listed on the website for the town of Weightley Conservation Commission. Uh some of the some of the questions and some of the emails go directly to Kelly and they don't go through our email account. And so, um, I I had mentioned
to Kelly when we were, um, out in the field one day that, um, it would be good from now on that anytime she responds to an email related to conservation commission business that she CC the commission's email account, you know,
address so that there's always a record in our files. um because it does it doesn't make sense for us to have access to you Kelly's email because that covers five towns not just one but if we can get copies of
those and then the other thing that I do sometimes when people will send questions to me uh related to the conservation commission but they send it to my private my personal email or to my work email is I will just take them and
I copy them in with with um Outlook and I just put them in the Conservation Commission folder. Uh and so if I then respond from sometimes I will then respond from the Conservation Commission account instead of responding from whatever account they they sent it to.
So it may be possible, Kelly, for you to take some of the the email traffic that you've already accumulated and just start sliding it into the the uh Conservation Commission account. Yeah.
All right. Sounds like everybody's on board with that. Um, any last questions or comments? No. No. Right. Third recommendation has to do with the order of succession for making decisions.
Uh, do people agree that that's a good thing to do? That's true. Yeah. Yeah, if you're not available, Scott, I think Kelly is the next. And then I'm I'm a little uncomfortable with ranking the rest of us.
Yeah, say we're all sort of I guess we could meet. Can we just leave that to whoever they might know? Uh yeah, we could potentially do that. It's um Ority.
I'm sorry. We could do it by seniority like who's been on the commission the longest sort of Yeah. Yeah, but then I'd have to figure that out. I think we can figure it out. I I know that Ann was the most recent and I was the I was uh be right before
her. So, it's just a question of George and Andrew. Andrew, I think you were probably before George. I think so. Yeah. Yeah. So we could do it by seniority unless somebody is uncomfortable being too near the top or too near the bottom
and wants to be moved up or down. That sounds fair. Yeah. So seniority. Sure. Sure. Okay. Um, and then it seems like if we have to
make sure that they can find at least one of us, depending on what the emergency is, you know, there might not be internet, there might not be cell service. Landline might be an option. So if any of you have a landline, we should have
that in the plan as well. And then also physical address so that if somebody needs to come and knock on the door, you know, they know what the address is for each of us. Well, it could also matter too which side of town you are. Like if it's down on near me, like on River of Long, I
could probably handle that. If it's somewhere up towards you like on Popular Hill, I would may not be able to go up that way and access, you know. So could depend on the where in the town you are. So, does anybody have any objection to having their landlines, cell phone
numbers, and physical address included in the plan so that it's readily accessible if there were such an emergency? Uh, no problem. Yeah, I don't have a problem on it. All right, that's fine. So, I may send an address to make sure
that I have all of that information for each of you. uh send an email and and so that I can write up this plan. It's due by the end of the month, so I'll be working on it after this meeting. All right, it sounds like we're doing
pretty well with these. Um the next one has to do with the files that are stored in the town offices. So some of the scenarios they talk about is like if there's a problem and you need to sort of grab the files from the office, how do you know which files to
grab if you're going to then move them to some other place? You know, like if the Connecticut River were to really flood to the point where the town offices are at risk, they might choose to move the operations of the town to
town hall. Well, it's just not practical to take all of the files with us. So the question would be you know for short-term use and which files would be considered active files that would would
be moved in in that case. So, what I was going to suggest is to ask Kelly to come up with a system where the files are somehow marked, uh, whether they're active or whether they're, you know, sort of
still still open even if they're not active, such as, you know, an order of conditions is issued, but a certificate of compliance has not yet been issued. But the ones that I would consider active are the ones where we're we haven't yet issued an order of
conditions or we haven't yet issued a determination of applicability. And what I picture in my mind is like maybe some kind of a color-coded um you know clip on clips or or or other things so that each file has a you know
an active color code until it then gets decided by the commission and then it goes into a a different color and then once uh a certificate of compliance is issued then maybe those tags get removed and it just ends up in the regular files. So, I'm not saying it that that's
the system we should have, but I'd like to ask Kelly to figure out what would be a good system for the physical files because we may be in a situation at times when we can't access the one drive and we can't get to the electronic files and the only way to to sort of get
either a phone number or an address off of the files is to go physically to the town offices and find the files. Yeah, I'm I'm picturing like a like a bright orange sticker or something a little flag that could come up off the
folder that makes it pretty clear and then I could just take that off once the the project has been a determination issued. Any thoughts from others of you? Whatever simple simple plan works for you.
Yeah. So, are the files currently in boxes now? I think most of them, at least the ones that were already in town hall, um, someone has been organizing them and I think they're working on color coding the folder the
the actual folders for each of the town boards. So, I think our folders are being organized and moved as we speak. Yes. Hope Yeah. Hopefully they know that we're supposed to keep them. I think for eternity, but um
I get mixed messages about how long we're supposed to keep files, but they're also boxes of files that Jim Ross gave me that I I don't know where they are anymore. So, uh but rarely do we have to go back into those files. We did we did have one request for a
certificate of compliance for an order of conditions that was issued in 1985. Uh and and at that point there was no way to find the file. So we just issued the order uh the certificate and we just stuck it in the uh in the regular file.
But I think it's more most of the recent stuff are in file folders and most of those files are in the town offices. So they're apparently being organized u in a way that hopefully we will be able to figure out. All right. Well, that this sounds like
something that nobody has any problems with and that Kelly is willing and able to take care of. So, I it sounds like all of the recommendations that I put forward are acceptable to you all. Yes. And Yep. Yep.
And then the question is, are there other things that we should add to this? I can't think of anything. The only thing that maybe comes to my mind is having a few printed out uh emergency certificates
um just in case we can't access them on the computer. Yeah. So having uh hard copies ready that could be filled out. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. I mean the other way and this this
is another sort of related thought is you know my all of my files that I have are in the cloud and they just they're synced from one computer to another and that's the great thing about like the
one drive and things like that or Google Drive. But the problem is is that if you don't have internet, you can't access your files. So um there's sort of this question of whe but you have the for me I have the option of making them accessible and
having it stored on my actual computer. If we had if each of us had the forms stored on our computers rather than in the cloud, we would have the ability to type out emergency certificates and other things. So, we could do hard
copies, but we could also um have copies, you know, physically on our computers and not just in the cloud uh in order to uh to make sure we have access to those forms when needed. Makes sense.
Yeah. Right. Let me add that in. Um, I just say wetland protection act forms. At least that's a a note to myself about making sure that this issue is covered when I draft up the plan.
Any other thoughts? I don't have anything. How about getting into the town offices? I'm sorry, what? How do we get into the town office if it's locked? Yeah, that's a good question. And I guess um
Kelly, you have a te a key, right? I do have a key and I have a key. So, I guess one thing to do is be to ask Peter whether it would be, you know, whether there should be a key for each member of the commission in case it ever was needed.
I know that's not going to apply. Yeah. Can you have like a hiding key somewhere like on the building, you know, like a hidden area that, you know, you could access if you needed to or a lock box maybe? Yeah, something like Yeah, a lock box with a code. So, if you need to access the
So, it's a farm. What I'm going to do is just ask Peter what we should do. At the farm, we have a box that um the fire department has a key to. It allows them to get the key in the box
to open the barn. So, we don't have to hand them hand out keys to the barn. They just have to have a key to the lock. Yeah, the thing is is that if what they're trying to do is control how many people have access, that sort of foils
that. So, I don't know what the difference is between having a key hidden somewhere and having everybody have their own key. I guess it's more keys floating around, but a hidden key seems vulnerable, too. Okay, I'll check. I think a lot of these
recommendations I'm going to run by Peter in case he sees a problem with any of them. Uh, and you know, I'll then, you know, write something up. I don't Yeah, I'll I'll try to write it up in time to send it to
you before I need to submit it. But, um, at this point, if all of you are comfortable with this, I will put this together as a plan. I don't think we need to vote on it. Um, but I do think that we should vote to authorize Kelly
to act on behalf of the Conservation Commission should the commission not be available. And I would also want to empower Kelly to to make decisions on the building inspector signoff system where there's
uh clearly no jurisdiction of conservation commission or uh no reason for the commission to be involved in in a proposed project. So I guess my question is is that are you all comfortable voting on something like that?
Yeah, sure. Yes, that's fine. Yeah. Kelly, is there any other authorization that we should provide you? Um, make the work easier? Trying to think.
No, the the only other couple things that I I've had authorized to me by other towns, it's kind of a separate form sort of thing. I don't think it's really something that can just be voted on outright,
but in a couple towns we have e signature authorization so that you know when you vote on a certificate of compliance or an order of conditions or an RDA, um I would have the ability to just slap
a a I guess a scan of your signature onto a document and print it and send it and have that count the same as a wedding signature. So, that's been really helpful for towns where everybody can't necessarily, you know, come in and
sign the paperwork in a timely manner. Um, and then something that we've passed in Ashefield recently and we're going to be talking about in Williamsburg is an administrative tree cutting approval application. Um, and I took that from
Ava in East Hampton where um, there's there's certain requirements, but ultimately it enables me to approve the cutting of up to five trees in what or bordering on resource areas
without needing to have someone file an RDA. And there's there's conditions to what the trees have to be and they have to be replaced in some cases. And it's a it's a pretty in-depth application and but I haven't had the chance to use it yet.
This would be cutting for reasons other than like firewood or Yeah. Typically under the forest cutting practices act there's cutting for your own use which is exempt. Yeah. Typically it's for hazard trees. Hazard trees. Right.
Yeah. So, I guess what I would suggest is um um Kelly, could you write up like motions for us to consider at our next meeting? Yeah. For all of these different authorizations, including, you know,
authorization to to uh to make emergency decisions if the commission's not available. And and we can then send these out with the agenda for next meeting so that you all have them ahead of time. and then we can have, you know, a public discussion. We could put it on
the agenda so that uh any members of the public that want to weigh in are welcome to do that and then we would vote on it. Everybody okay with that? Yes. All right.
Well, this is great. I mean, I think we're finally sort of getting to uh the potential to actually achieve a much more effective and efficient administrative system for the conservation commission. Uh so, thank you, Kelly. And um I think
I have enough to draft, you know, our uh continuity of operations plan. And and so then I'll plan to send that out hopefully a week before the next meeting or a week before the end of the month, I guess, because it has to be turned in on
September 30th. Um, so I sounds like we're maybe finished with this agenda item. Is there anything else anybody would like to bring up or any questions you have before we close on on that item?
No. All right. Well, thank you for your input and for the discussion. Um, moving on to the next item, which is just other business. Does anybody have any other business? I have a random question for you, Scott.
I noticed in the land sales, the one lot by the old town dump there got sold. Was that any building permits come to you yet for anything? Nope, I have not seen a building permit for that site. So if you see any construction, let me
know. Yeah, if I see the down there clearing for us, I'll let you know. They are clearing or you No, I have seen that they removed the the for sale sign. Yeah, it was in the paper that it was
sold. So yeah, I remember when uh when Jim Ross handed over the chair chairmanship to me and then there was this big turnover of people and Jim said here you can put
together your own board. He said, "But you have to have people from from Eastley, from Westley, from North Weightley, Wheatley Center." And now I see there's the wisdom to that because then we have eyes and ears all throughout town for when people are
doing work that's unauthorized or otherwise problematic. So, uh, thank you, Andrew, for keeping an eye out on things in Eastley. Yes, no problem. All right. Well, if there's nothing more for us to talk about, then we can adjourn. Any last questions or comments
before we adjourn? Nope. No, nothing. All right. Well, then let's declare this meeting adjourned and we'll meet again in October. And who knows what might come onto our plate between now and then. I'll let you
know as soon as I know. Thank you, Scott. Enjoy your vacation, Scott. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. All right, we'll see you next month. All right. Bye. Good night.
