February 5th. It's uh 12:01. Um so, we just have one thing on the agenda. Um, so we'll start with the pledge allegiance first and then we can zoom right into uh into the introductions and um the new business.
So I'll start off. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> All right, I'll start with me. My name is Tammy Melo. I am the chairperson.
>> Right. Vinnie Heert. I am uh the clerk for the board of health. >> Christopher Reservore, our board of health member. >> Awesome. All right. So, for new business, um we have our budget approval today. So, I was able to uh give that a
look. Everything looks good to me. Um so, does anybody have anything they want to add about the budget? >> It looked fine to me. Like I said, they both look the same, you know, and yeah, >> you know, Liz explained why. So I'm f I'm fine with the numbers is I mean
there's a big cut there but you know that's okay. >> Yeah. Go ahead Chris. >> Yeah. I don't have any >> I don't have any specific question. I did look at it in detail. This is my first time but I don't see anything that I'm concerned about or worried about. I'm hoping hoping to learn more from you
guys but nothing concerning that I see. >> Perfect. >> Liz, I'm sorry I cut you off. >> Yeah. No, they they had asked us to submit two versions of the budget. one if the debt exclusion passes and one if it doesn't pass. Um both of ours came under budget because they're going to be
combining the office manager rule. So that's going to cut that budget in half. So we already came up under what they were asking us. So we lucked out this year. >> Okay, good. Yeah. Well, it's a it's a
tough another tough year. So, >> um, you know, I I sort of anticipated some some numbers uh changing. >> Yeah. >> Unfortunately, it's what we have to work with. Uh, so can I get a motion to approve the new budget?
>> Yeah, I would make a a motion to approve uh the U budget for 2027. >> Okay. >> I second. >> Awesome. And can I get a vote? >> I >> I motion passes. Budget approved. Does anyone have anything else under
um items not reasonably anticipated? I don't have anything. >> I don't either. >> Other than I wish the sun would come out and melt all the snow and we could go back to normal. >> I thought you were away, right?
>> I was. I'm I'm back. Um, I had to I had to take a very expensive Uber ride during a blizzard from Brooklyn, New York back to Massachusetts. So, yeah, I was determined to get back on that Sunday. So, >> that's a story for another day. But Oh, yeah.
>> It's It's been challenging as a farm owner. It's been definitely challenging this year. >> Um, my niece just got back from Michigan last night and she said that we have more snow here than Michigan does. So, >> wow. >> That should tell us something. >> Yeah.
>> So, >> they judge the cold down here by the iguanas cuz they fall out of the trees. >> I know. I saw that on the news. >> It's true. And they tell you how to pick them up and put them in a bag and um you know, but but yeah, once when the iguanas fall out of the trees, they know
it's cold. >> You know it's cold. Yeah. Poor little guys. >> Do they survive after that? >> Are they flooded? You know, so they >> they can't once it gets to be around 40 degrees, 35, >> they get like a paralysis and they just freeze up and they fall out of the trees
>> and then these people go around and they pick them up. >> Then they collect them. >> They collect them and you know they put them in a bag they have to breathe and then once they get warm they snap out of it. >> Oh wow. >> Bizarre. Crazy. >> It is bizarre. >> Oh gosh. All right. Well, I think that's
it. I just need a motion to uh close up the meeting and uh we'll we'll wrap it up. Well, I had one one question because I've seen the emails going back and forth about the the storm water uh language. >> Yes, >> Liz.
>> Can you expound on that? >> Uh Nancy had the um Weston and Samson rewrite the language again. So, at the next meeting, I'm going to have you guys actually, you know what? Maybe
we should approve it now. Um, she didn't respond to what changed. So, yeah, maybe we can't because I asked her what was different. Um, it's a fivepage document and I was didn't have time to
read through the whole thing to see what changed. >> Yeah. Yeah. I think that's probably best if we wait till the next meeting. >> Yeah. Let's just wait for her. Yeah. Okay. before we >> it's up to them to to it really it's up to them to write it based on what is um
their terms and conditions and whatever the the engineering firm says. >> Yeah. >> Whatever that language was. So what I read is she had some issues with the with the language. And to me it's like okay well then change the language to >> to what you wanted to read and we'll review it and if we don't see any issues
with it then we'll approve it. So >> correct. I mean that that's my take on the whole thing. >> Yeah, I'll bring it to the next meeting. That way we have more time to get into it. >> Okay, >> perfect. >> Sounds good. All right. Can I get a motion to adjourn today's meeting?
>> I make a motion to adjourn today's meeting. 2526. >> Second. >> Vote. I >> I >> Sounds good. Motion adjourned. >> All right. >> Meeting adjourned.
