would broadly appoint her if there were any concerns by the board have a chance at that time motion to table >> um I'll second that >> motion had to make the table and seconded any more discussion all those in favor I Hi >> Pat, you're up.
>> How are you? >> Good. How are you? >> Thank you. >> And me, too. So, I don't The flag behind you does not have any signage on it or how it came to be hanging there or who created it. So, the historical
commission is asking that we have a plaque um designed for Katherine Yell. So, Katherine Yell was um citizen of of Dyon. She passed away in 2007. She was very artistic and in 1994
she designed a bat flag that's behind you plus the two-sided flag that is hanging up at the state house. Um she's very creative. She also served as a secretary of the planning board and at the holiday so she was involved in
things. So, in order to recognize and honor, you know, Katherine's contribution to the town and that's so that no one forgets because in time, those of us that knew cat will not be here anymore and it will just be a flag
and not who and how it came to be. So, um, the historical commission is requesting your permission before we start getting pricing and all of that. Is permission to put a plaque with the flag. The plaque would be similar to the
plaque that's over there with that 48 star flag, you know, so it wouldn't contrast with it. It would they would blend together. Um, and all the expenses would come out of our budget. >> That's always good to hear.
Well, I can say it'll come out of yours, Peter. >> Yeah. >> Um, I have no issues with it. But on a side note, her family, they've been trying to get in touch with regarding the U flag because Crystal Agie wanted to
hang one up. Uh, Nancy Gulot was working on it, but they haven't been able to hook up or it hasn't happened. >> I guess with the um, what do you call it? The graphics that you need for the computer. Okay. And >> all of that. So, what where it was and who owned it because I know Nancy had
reached out to me too about the flag. >> Um, because I don't know anything about that, but I think it was, you know, when they go to set it up to print and do whatever they need to do. >> Right. Okay. That was just a side note. It had nothing to do with what you're asking about the plaque, but I just didn't know if you knew.
>> That was kind of one of the triggers for me, too. Sure. >> We're talking about this town flag and it's like, who did it? Why was it done? >> Yeah, absolutely. Do you know what the plaque is going to say? >> No, we haven't. >> Not yet. Haven't gotten that far. >> No. Decided before we started doing work
into it to say that we could do it first. >> Right. Uh I have no issues. Uh Nicole. >> No, I think this is great. >> Yeah. Mark, likewise. Okay. >> Yes. >> Uh so this is a you discuss an act. So we need a motion on the floor, please. >> I'll make a motion to recognize Katherine Yell as the designer of the
Dayton Flat. >> I will second that. >> Motion has been made and seconded. Any more discussion? All those in favor? Hi. >> Hi. >> Thank you. >> Great. Thank you. >> Thank you, >> Mr. Ferry. Hi. >> This is an update on Main Street and then three, review, discuss, and acts
for the U reconstruction. >> Yes, good evening. Thanks for the opportunity to come. I found out Monday you guys wanted me to hear. I'm not sure. >> Okay. Is a specific question I should address first? Um
I don't know you have anything else that I know we wanted an update >> just a general update on this >> of where everything was at. Um one of the things that I also want to ask is this concern about details for police
details? Is there ever a time there is not one? And is there an issue with them staying after eight hours or something? Uh, I'm just going by things that that some have said that sometimes you keep them there 10 hours and
they don't want to stay. I I I don't know. Um, you could shed more light on that than >> So, uh, two months ago, we might have worked a couple 10our days. >> Yeah. >> We haven't worked there for >> No, it's too late now. >> Hour days. So, maybe they're forgetting
to go home recently. I don't know. >> Okay. >> I'm not aware of >> No, it might have been that that far back. >> Yes. Uh, has there ever been a time where there has not been a detail? >> Uh, yes. Uh, last week we had two details missing and not available. >> Okay. In what? The work continues
without them. >> Yes. The road is closed right now. >> Close. The road is closed. So, nobody can come by where you're concerned about people speeding by the the >> And we still utilize the details when we close the road to when they're available.
>> Yep. All right. Thank you. >> Um, so what is the update? on Main Street. Where are we at? >> So, the the drainage work is more than halfway. >> We just keep plugging away with it. >> Yeah, >> we're ordering some more materials to help finish what we need to do
tenatively. We'll be done with our drainage work through the winter weather permitting and funding, but the details, no pun intended. We're very limited on funds right now. So, we're watching that very closely.
So expect uh the annual meeting to be at least one article to help address Main Street. >> Okay. Continue that moving forward. The sidewalks have started the reconstruction of the existing ones and soon after that we'll talk about some of
the reconstruction but soon after that we'll go as far as we can weather permitting and then in the spring they'll wrap it up. >> Okay. >> Funding also. I don't have quite enough to finish that either. So we're at the point where we might have to suspend the project.
>> Wow. >> But can we be looking at paving like 2027? >> Okay. >> Further beyond. >> Uh I know one of the residents, this is another reason why we asked you to come was uh concerned about the rough road. Um >> rough road ahead.
>> Yeah. >> That's the we can do about it. >> Is all of Main Street scheduled to get sidewalks? Yes, when when you're using uh these type of funds, sidewalks need to be doing. Fortunately, I don't believe
we're forced to put the bike lane in. That's part of the complete streets, but this is not a complete street project. That would be big under sidewalks. >> Okay. Fully funed ourselves. >> Okay. Nicole, do you have anything?
>> No, I mean um there was a part of Main Street that had like a pretty substantial bump, but I don't know if you guys did something to it because now it's it seems better. I mean, I went down it the other day and it wasn't as >> it was it wasn't as it wasn't as bad. So, I was like I thought you were coming
here to tell us you did something because it we'll continue the monitoring. >> It was better >> the settling and I've said it before I I even though we compact well, they're still going to be settling. So, it would be better that we have freezing thy settling. So when the actual final co
goes on, you have a nice smooth road longer. >> Okay. >> And anyone can let me know about any, you know, extreme settling. I need to know ASAP. Anyways, >> yes, we can handle that. >> Okay, great. >> Mark, do you have anything? >> Well, 2027 wasn't a surprise to hear
because I I kind of thought I had that number in the back of my head that there was going to be two years left on this project. So, you're saying 27 for paving. Does that mean the whole project, you know, with funding? And in a perfect world, um 27's the rough date
to finish the project about two more years, two more fiscal years. >> It'll be probably paved ready for paving next year. >> Next year, >> middle of next year. It'll be ready to be paved. >> There's no way we can fund it. >> But so we're funding and it sounds all
right. So, we'll be ready for paving next year, but in the current environment we're in, it'll probably be two years. >> And then we still have a couple other roads in town besides Main Street. >> Yes. >> Need to be addressed. So, even if we found some money, we got to
>> there priorities. >> We have to take care of that. Not just put fires out. We just got to try to keep those roads in >> sure >> good work in order as much as we can. So, the rough road scenario is unfortunately that's what we're going to have to enjoy. What where are we at with funding? How
much more do we need? Do you know off hand? >> Uh it's out for bid right now for services. So it's tough. I was talking to Ralph about that. >> Can't call it yet this afternoon. And um that's a moving target right now. Just asphalt alone is going to be close to a
million. >> Yeah, >> that doesn't count the milling, >> you know, right? And readjusting the instructions one more time. >> Okay. So that's going to be probably a million 1.1 depending how that bid comes in >> and if we out that far 2027 that's going to be another bid cycle.
>> Sure. >> So unless price comes down which it could because that's what regulates that is the price of crude oil. >> Yeah. Which has come down substantially. >> It could. I mean you said it can't but it can. >> Yeah. Okay. >> I have an uh one one thought. Is there a
way we Ralph what are your thoughts on this having inviting our legislators like Kelly Duner and Justin Thurber to Main Street and Tom and the selectman to for them to tour it and maybe >> I think it's
not a bad idea but we're always actively looking at at grants and whenever we put in a grant we do see you know reduces their support >> right >> so uh you know Tom and I was had some ideas on on funding, right?
Going through the grant process, maybe looking at that, you know, that's why we kind of held back on free cash to look at what uh how we can invest in capital and then just other funding options as
we go as we the future. So um we look at 27 but really I would say more fiscal year 28 which begins in July 2027 that's kind of what we're
looking >> is any mark possible though that that could be a possibility >> is is possible. So I I will you know we always they always give us I'll be proactive about I mean I hate to call 100,000 a small
amount but every every amount helps. >> Yes. >> But that's kind of what we if they didn't mark that's kind of >> the you know where we looking at but that's fine. It's better than nothing right. >> Absolutely. It'd be nice too if um if we could all meet with them. I think that picture's worth it. I mean seeing it in
person they might be more compelling for them to >> know is always ready to come out here. So >> nice. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Along with that um to give you a picture of what we're dealing with outside of
the sub subsidiary additional funding above chapter 90 that gets added to the chapter 90 funding. Uh chapter 90 funding is roughly 333,000 a year. Mhm. >> So that's to get that to pave the road on its own, you'll have to wait several
years. >> And that's how I get to where I am now by just waiting. >> Yeah. >> And as you know, we proved >> the town should be subsidizing the chapter 90 to get into repair. >> So there is a bit of a dilemma there. Yes. They might have some things to throw at us, but
>> we do have a couple other roads, too. >> Right. What are the other roads? >> We have I mean 65 miles that we have to maintain. That's what I'm referring to, >> right? >> A lot of different states. >> Yeah. >> So, >> okay. >> And there's also sidewalk issues. Some of the sidewalks, >> right,
>> are over 100 years old. They have not been touched. >> Yes. >> They they're a problem. >> Yep. >> So, it's not all about the road that meets the road, right? There's other problems that we have to address >> with the streets themselves, >> right? >> Okay. >> Thank you. Thanks. Um, this is going to
be a review discussing at Main Street and William Street reconstruction. So I I put the three intersections down because um this is tied in with the sidewalk people. These are the ones that set the curves. >> Okay. So that's important while they're in town mobilized. We can them.
>> So we did talk about Williams and Main and Elman Main previously. Uh earlier this year, late last year, we actually hired an engineer to review and make the recommendations. You should have a copy of that. >> Yes. Um, so I want to make sure uh we'll have to
just chip away as funding and availability repair. So >> I just want to make sure we're still on board of adding the curb on Williams and Maine for that protection on, you know, with the red house is >> and when we can find availability funding for that possible guide rail,
then we can address that and and the type of guardrail. We'll have to get that resident back in there so we can agree on that type because it'd be great against the house, >> right? So, but the curving needs to go. I don't think we need to um you know
have a conversation on that. That needs to happen anyways because it's bound in with the road, the drainage, >> right? >> It's part of the protection, but it's it's more of the road itself. >> Sure. >> That's I just want to make sure we're on board with that. >> Yeah. >> Similar with Elm. If I could jump or you want to >> No, go ahead. That's okay. And these two
you can probably go together if you're willing to entertain. >> Uh so Elm where they mentioned when you're >> traveling south on Elm just past the community church stop at the stop sign that curb on your right needs to come in almost 10 ft
>> to help line it up with across the street. Yeah, >> that's what they're proposing. Again, that would be where the sidewalk's going to be. >> Yeah. >> So that's why now is the time to make sure you guys are still on board. >> Yeah. >> And that's what I'd like to address tonight. and myself and the other two chiefs in the future when we have
available funding on that intersection. We're we're uh planning on putting that caution light with a mass beam right >> across the street and we'll go from there. But that's going to be available funding. >> But the hearing now is the curbing because that's the step before the paving,
>> right? >> And the people are in town. Now is the time to address >> do it. >> Those two intersections, Mr. Chairman, if you're willing, we can act on them together. >> Yeah. Okay. of the third sheeperd. >> All right. So, let's do that then. >> I'll make a motion to approve the main street at Williams and Maine at Elm
Street reconstruction as presented by Granite City Partners. >> I'll second that. >> Motion has been made and seconded. Any more discussion? All those in favor? >> I street. Okay, this is the easy one. A lot more papers and papers that you don't have.
So, a walkth I was exposed to since the library was acquired and city was involved with that. They identified sidewalks that needed to be done or extended part of the main street
project, but that was I just got that information latter part of their project. Okay. So, that's a little bit of why we're dealing with this now. um they have a little bit of money set aside for their project outside landscaping and and parking lot that we
can probably entertain in the future. But what I'm proposing is that piece of road right by Duch Memorial is close that off >> so we can extend a private parking lot and extend the green space of the Duch Memorial. >> Yeah. >> Make a better presentation. Now that's
dovetailed with a similar problem we had the sleman had to address in the past with the speeding running the stop sign on pleasant >> this would definitely do it you're not you can't run the stop sign then >> right >> and you have to stop from zero you're definitely going to take care of that
speeding problem that we have >> okay >> um if it's not done city identified that we have to move the crosswalk in front of the library but if we do block it off it remains it's right in front of the main entrance Now it's where it needs to be, but it's in a dangerous spot because
of the intersection. >> Right. >> So, um Ralph was willing to uh reach out to our town attorney for some um opinions on this. There was some interaction twice on this at this time. Um
where we are with this, if it's all town property but not accepted as a road, it falls under the border slot. Mhm. Um >> if it's not accepted as a road or is >> if it's accepted as a road >> is is accepted. >> If it is accepted as a road then it's
got to go to a town meeting for a vote. >> Okay. And then the select will have you know to designate it how it's used. >> Right. Uh it's to me it's pretty clear it's town property not an accepted not an accepted road. Uh it's pretty clear
with the limited work that Mr. Casa did. Um the bottom line is we need to hire a surveyor and preferably the last one that work in the project and it's pretty clear uh before it became the library that the property that has that the frontage goes
to the far side of memorial. So the memorial was actually part of the church property. Okay. It was never town property >> the way we see it. >> Yeah. Either way we got to prove what it is. Um I believe that
cut through we'll call it was when we used to have a trolley that ran down Pleasant Street. >> Okay. >> Um and it's just was paved since. But through through the chair in 58 to the support support saying you know we reviewed the
deed. We looked at some old plans and it never never appeared that this was designated as a roadway but more of a of a cut and as Tom has explain explained to me that when there was a trolley part
of the part of the trolley track. So um you know we're we're very confident that it's not an accepted roadway not part of the roadway but under jurisdiction of the of the select looking together
just so this is tied in with my update in main street. Yes. the same people doing the sidewalk all the curbs and they're passing area now uh about two and a half to three weeks they're going to finish both sidewalks that are between element
and 138 they'll be reacting to move in this area did you guys get this picture >> okay that that green I also expect to have it come this far too so we can get a good clear green
>> but again that always went with that property, >> right? >> Which is weird. So, along with the surveyor that we'll have to hire, we probably I I don't know if it makes sense to still separate it to be because it's a
war memorial, veteran memorial. I don't know if we need to separate that as a different town property even though it's both town. >> Yeah. >> You have the library part. You'll have the part that's landscaped for a veteran. It was it's a Korean War veteran, >> right, >> Dutch?
>> Um, so we we need some clarification on that. But I I'd like the board to entertain to move forward with this plan. >> Yeah. >> Pending that it's not accepted road by town vote. >> Yeah.
>> We can do that and that way there the work can continue. >> Sure. >> And then we'll obviously at least Mr. are tackled with the the administrator's report at least with keep you guys. >> Okay. I have no issues with this. >> No,
>> I I'm confused. I don't What road is not accepted? >> Is that Pleasant Street? >> May I come to you? >> Oh, please. >> Thank you. So the these are the views we have from now going backwards up through 1887.
>> Right. >> This is the cut off from proposing a block. You can see the road here. So you come out as soon as I have drive straight across. >> Oh, >> this is street straight over here. >> Yes. >> So right now you only have this much green. I'd like to enhance it that much. Actually
>> it's going to come up here like that to be all green, >> right? Oh, that that would be nice. Okay. And I already on the planning board's agenda. I found out afterwards that even though I already changed some parking spots, it was supposed to site plan review.
>> Okay. >> So, I'm on the agenda for uh the 11th for comment and the configuration will change. The count will be confirmed. Y the numbers already don't match, but this picture is for conversation purpose.
>> Okay. How much money do we have from the library speaking? There's roughly 35,000. Okay. >> Keep in mind there's a lot of asphalt in this side. >> Yeah. >> But the foundry is right here. >> Okay. Is it? >> Yes. >> So, this is just employee parking.
>> Yep. >> And this is what we're proposing >> with the the proper number of handicap spots. >> And is it is the goal of all of this for safety, public safety? >> Absolutely. Yes. >> Including this. This is proposed to be moved away from the main entrance if
that street remain because there's no time >> right does not okay I understand now thank you >> so that >> no I understand >> I think we should yes >> I'll make a motion to move forward with
the plan as Tom presented >> I'll second that motion >> has been made and seconded any more discussion All those in favor? >> I >> I >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thanks, Tom. >> Thanks for another good job. >> Absolutely. >> Announcements.
