All right. Well, uh, it is now time. We're all live. Let's, uh, can we call the meeting to order? Uh, on the, uh, agenda this evening, we just have, uh, uh, discussion with the FY27 budget. Uh, we have some reserve rever,
try that again. Reserve fund transfers to discuss. And then we did have some, uh, meeting minutes we were not prepared to discuss last time, but we'll revisit those uh, this evening. And uh I think that's about it for tonight's events. So hopefully we can uh get through this
fairly quickly. See see where we go. Not imagining a whole bunch of uh surprises here. All right, you want to run through this crazy. All right. So
at our last meeting we talked about the budget, we talked about the deficit which was at the time 784,000. Um at that same meeting we implemented the content class study. So based on the implementation that that
increased the deficit slightly to 804. So that's kind of the baseline that we've been working on. We talk about no free cash, reduce budgets as needed and try to create a sustainable budget to the extent that possible
cut from correct on the department requested. Yeah. Included in the new budget are also some revenue adjustments based on on the the estimates that I have in there. So
I've estimated $50,000 more in receipts, $15,000 more in your growth. I've added $25,000 in overlay surplus that needs to be requested from the board of assessors which we also did last year for this budget and the state
aid has been adjusted based on the governor's bucket for that amounts. >> Oh, just the only question I was review on this before we're getting fairly aggressive with the receipts and new growth or is that how you feel comfortable with it?
>> Next slides. So the revenue adjustments ju just so you can see what our estimates are versus the last two years of data. The local receipts in 24 we had slightly over a million dollars that was
largely I can't remember what it was and I didn't I just didn't have the time to go. So we had one fairly significant infusion and it it was a one time infusion. It wasn't like a reoccurring um source. Um last year um local
receipts were 891,000. Um so 850 is in line with those. Um is it more aggressive than I would like to be in an ideal scenario? Yes, it is. I would prefer to keep it at 800 for sure.
[clears throat] Um new growth, same thing. Um for 25 it was 148. 26 was 156. 135 was a number that um is in line with the last two years. It is I've discussed
it with the assessor. She's comfortable with that number. Um I also just for your information I talked to the town accountant about the local receipts estimate and that 850 actually was I asked them how high would you come with
me going on the local receipt estimates and 850 was citizen firm. So, >> so you're expect you're expecting it to continue to go down from 20 24 and 25 for that for the local receipts?
>> Not necess not necessarily. Um, but I would want to I I wouldn't want to be any more aggressively generally speaking as you all know. But the more conservative you can be on revenues, the better the better. >> Yeah, he's you have any idea what 23
was? I can get that. I don't have a leg at all. >> Okay. So, I just went back to you. >> Yeah. >> All right. So, on the spending side, um I gave you a little breakdown of our health insurance. Um so, at the time I
created this presentation, I based the health insurance cost on a 14 14.13 Hey, >> a 14.13% increase. Um, sheriff's
over there. >> Yeah, go for it. >> Um, standing. >> Yeah, >> thought I saw a slice in the left. This had a significant jump. >> Yeah, from previous years, you don't
know. Okay, I will since I get 2 and a half% right now. That's based on the governor's number. It could go up on one, but that's that's what it is now. >> Okay, thank you. >> So, health insurance estimates, I kind of broke tried to break it down for you
a little bit. Um, I base 27 on another 14.13% increase. And that's that's what we saw this year. I received a call, what's today? Wednesday, I received a call yesterday morning from buying and they told me our increase is going to be
14.4%. So, this is a little shy of what our actual is going to be. I'm going to try to get that. I'm just going to have my month budget, [clears throat] but in any that's what this these numbers are based on. Um so
you see the average cost of individual plans for families and individual on our HMO plan and our blue choice elect plan. Um our cost share is different based on the HMO
blue choice elect. Um the town share and family plan is uh 16,817. That's from the HML. um individuals more um 4,335. Um
so if you break it down, health insurance, dental, the 27 estimate um based on the 14.13 is 350 351 in the budget. Dental is 21 24 in
the budget. So we're budgeting 375. We budgeted 408 last year. Um, and that's without the 14%. So, um, oh, I should mention too, this is including, um, one more individual plan and one
more family plan than we currently have to allow for that because that's what I anticipate at the end of the next fiscal year. That's the numbers that I anticipate having on plans. Does that include the office or is that is there?
Yes, that that is included. Yeah. >> So you all know we usually have far more flexibility in our health insurance line than this. Um but again that's
where we're at. Um, we are looking at I I spoke with a select board at their last meeting about a potential opt out program which would incentivize people to opt out and go in their their spouse of partners' plan um
for basically a cash payment um so that we both benefit from the uh from the move. So, I have to put that together. Um, but I have model plans and um I think that's something I'm going to look at. I mean, even if it was one person, it would be a good fit.
Okay. So, um in the highway budget, uh they requested and no $150,000 increase. Believe it was 150 anyway. in overall
budget, $200,000 for payback for your budget. Um, I've reduced that down to 30,000. Um, part of the rationale was this fiscal year they we experienced a significant increase in our chapter 90
money from the state. >> Yes. Yeah. I agree. So, um, you see 23 24 25 numbers is right around 185,000. for 26 we um we receive we're where we we have 413,000.
So it's a significant jump in paving money. So because of that um that's the rationale to reduce that line. They still but they still need money in that line for patching plot holes. So you
can't use Japanese army for that. Um so they still are going to need to buy asphalt to make those type of repairs. um that don't comply with the requirements of chapter 90. So um so that's just that why that's the
rationale for that those reductions. Um so for police salaries um we have a couple um I want I also want to say this is still kind of a work in progress. I I know there's needs that are going to have to change already. Um so this is
still in draft form of budget that you have. Uh so you see the department requests um the the town administrator reduction budget reduced it by $75,000. Um part-time wages was reduced by 30.
Chief can talk about this better than me but essentiale is because we don't have part-time officers. I mean what do we have one? Do we have one or two now? >> We have three on the books. >> Okay. But um really only one of them works because the other two basically
have full-time jobs at other police departments. And you can't really get part-time anymore. They don't have what's called a reserve academy, which is what we used to go to to become a part-time officer. And the problem is because with posts, you basically now have to go to the full-time police
academy to have a full-time job if nobody wants to do that. So that's where we are with members. >> Yeah. So it's really kind of a dying model basically. sooner or later it'll be much. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, part-time officers
basically at some point will go away. Um overtime also was reduced by 33. Um the concept there is by reducing those lines um we have in the budget the ninth
police officer position. Um, so fingers crossed that we're able to keep that in place by reducing part-time and overtime [clears throat] offset the increase that we're seeing to add that officer. Um the other request
which I is needed but um wasn't able to budget at the moment is the increase in in hours for the admin of police from 32 to 40 hours a week. Um it's not that that's not needed because it is but it
wasn't I wasn't able to fit it in at the moment salaries. Um [clears throat] so both calling training raises were reduced um roughly by 10,000. Um the real
impacts to that um I think we'll be limited to the afternoon. Right now we're running an afternoon shift after the the per 8 to 4 shift. Um we'll likely have to get rid of that for better than 27.
uh the training budget um is still more than what they've expended in the last few fiscal years. So I think that will be um okay although um the chief is trying to take cover. So
um we'll watch that. But I think that one right >> is it just me but every time we see town administrative reductions I think you're reducing it by that amount. Oh, the variance is the amount that Yeah, look at the variance. Sorry, >> I was having the same problem.
>> Now I feel better. >> Yeah. No, the varian is the amount that reduc with counting reductions. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We're reducing the admin down to 12 grand. >> Well, that's when I first started I'm like, what? >> No. No. Call down to four grand.
>> Jason's gone nuts with the back. No, no, no, no. Um these are the assessments these are the anticipated assessments for the tech and [clears throat] dustable
these are based on what they are. So the gr dustable assessment is based on proportionally what Broton just committed and um that was um slightly reduced from what we were holding in that slot and the same thing with the
tech it went down slightly. Um >> so the town administrative reduction amount is based off of what Grant said that they're going to do. >> Yes. >> Okay. Yeah. So other changes um we were talking about it earlier a little bit but um
found tanks for has decided not to partner with us on ambulance um we were carrying $50,000 in the budget to fund that. um that's been removed until we find an Australian plan with we are committed for timing but we don't have one right now um
which is helpful to the budget but unfortunately it is not something we wanted to happen so it's it's it's unfortunate but um has the has um the benefit to the bud $50,000
um I reduced the engineering line from 8,000 to zero Um, in 25 we didn't spend anything out of that line. 24 we spent 3,300. Um, what this does is basically if there's anything unanticipated that requires an engineer, we won't have a
budget for it. Um, it budget was increased. Um, the reason for that is our contract was expiring. I asked for a one-year proposal to see if it made sense for us to um to do a one-year just
basically for a bridge um and it was significantly more than what we're paying now. Um more than the 5400 increase that I have in the budget. So, um, we're going to rather than doing a one-year agreement, we're going to have
to bid it and see if the competition of publicly bidding helps us with the price. Um, overlay, um, my first year we funded to overlay at 30,000. Last year we funded it at 20. I've removed funding overlay
anymore for the 27 budget. >> What's overlay? That's um the overlay is how you fund um tax abatements. Um highway part-time wages 6,500 have been completely removed. Um that hasn't
been funded. I mean that hasn't been expounded in the 3 years I've been here. Um production of 5,000 library salary. Um that will have some potential staffing impacts. out of that or with uh
>> well we're still above 30. >> So that it's not going to affect their credit [clears throat] income. >> Nope. >> Um veterans benefits the last two years. This is the second year in a row. We've
reduced it by five um 5,000. So we now have 5,000 in that line. Then 25 we spent 743 24 almost 3,000 and the tree warden budget's going to be about 7,000 which will result in less
tree work. So I've also had discussions with um the water board chair the board of health fully vetted and communicated with each part of them. Um, each conversation I've been um, they've
been open to the conversation. Um, I can't say that I'm happy about the conversation, but they've been open to speak. Um, I should note I didn't have on here, but um, one other reduction that's significant
is I don't know why I didn't make it is I reduced the um, transfer station budget by $12,000 in the professional technical line. Um, that is funding for the U household assets wasted. So that will not that
would not be offered moving forward. um and unless um it could be funded by the trash revolving fund, which we think it possibly could be. So, this is just a sum of the free cash
um certification and where we're at. Um one thing of note is that we are in deficit. we will be in deficit for our snow and ice budget for this year. Um so we will depending on how much in
deficit, how much more snow we get, um we'll we'll either be able to transfer money or in for 26 to to cover the deficit or have to go to annual town meeting to ask for a free cash appropriation to cover the to cover the
amount. I don't know the answer to that yet. depends on how much. Um that aside though um I still have 105 117 in for operating. We appropriate 60 at federal town
meeting. ATM articles anticipated is 120 for capital and another um 50 for general stabilization, 50 for CI3 stabilization and then 125 for the regional facilities
back assessment. So that leaves a balance that would leave a balance of 454,000 on jobs precash. So based on all that fun stuff, um we have we now have a deficit of $40,700.
Um that doesn't include any um allocation of cost to those funds that I was talking about earlier. Um I do not anticipate that covering the full 40,000. So we will still have a deficit that needs to be worked on. But um but
that's kind of that's what we're at shift. I don't know if anyone has any comments, questions, concerns on that. School district number good for the capital.
>> I think so. Yeah. Yep. 40. [laughter] Good job. any feedback from the drop on the school that have any this is where they're at at the moment >> that's in so they released the M
released his budget and that's the number that's in so they had to I think they reduced three um vacant positions in their budget to funded that to that amount so and they consolidated something
Yeah, I guess. Do you think they'll go down anymore? >> No. No. If anything, >> yeah, I don't think they'll I think it will. I think it's that. Yeah, I think so. The um I know the school district so you
probably have the email. They're having a meeting at hearing tonight and then a hearing on the 25th. um in their budget estimates they estimated I think $150 increase for chapter 70 and
then the governor's number of 75 so their gap increased because of that um oh that it was the same thing last year and it changed but the legislature has increased so fingers cross that happens again this year
>> most likely it will go up based off of prior experience. >> It usually >> usually the governor's budget is >> Yes. usually like it's like a marker but >> Y yeah. So this I'm guessing but we're not there
to listen to it but with that graten's budget and our budget there how short are the schools you know I would like to have been there tonight but uh 100,000 This can move
in. Yeah, if we were at 9. >> Yes, that's >> Yeah, that's the number the the decible number was, right? 90363. That's what you had there. >> Yeah, >> that's have sufficient
funding in their budget to meet Ron's appropriation. Not really. But >> no, no, we don't. >> No, >> we don't really have that money. But >> what she meant is that what I was carrying. Even with the deficit, that's that's what I was carrying in the budget at the time. >> I just don't want anyone to think we're
actually sitting on money. >> Yeah. That's for sure. It's not the case. So that number though is based on that $150 increase per student. If you check for 70 rather than 75. So that number will
fluctuate based on what ends up being in the um in the final state budget. And just on their last proposal that this was their kind of their I don't say worst case scenario but that is that >> I think so. Yeah. Yeah. That that was a
reduction of 12. >> That's that was their estimate. Are they going to at least is there any sort of are they thinking about requesting that we go for an override for the school? >> Not that I know of. >> So they're just going to take it and then cut who would an over? I meant was the
school going to come back to us and request that we put an override? >> I don't think so. >> But or were they just going to take, you know, if Gr's produced theirs, this is ours. Are they just going to say okay and cut 12 FTEEs as they say?
>> Well, they're not technically cutting anything. They're they've they've opened positions and they're consolidating. >> No, no, schools. >> Yeah, that's that's what I'm saying. >> I don't think so. My understanding was that they were
>> they have 12 open today. They're just not Oh, >> they're not just f they fil they're just not filling them or they've got retired. They were also waiting for retirements announcements. >> You're right though. I think there might have been there was going to be cuts within
>> within special ed, but I thought the admin cuts were going to be consolidation and open positions, but maybe I'm wrong. I don't have to vote on anything discussion or anything else that need to happen. >> The the text there
um folks going to change which student >> he gave me an estimate which was in the prior version and followed up with me saying this is what it is. this is what it's going to be and that's basically
driven on the enrollment increase from 913. >> What's the capital again on the ground and dustable? The 40k increase on free on the free cash slot. >> Yeah, >> it's 83 to 125. >> That's what they've asked for. I a
breakdown of exactly what they're going to do with it. I don't pass. >> Okay. So, >> we have asked for that previously and we did get a breakdown. >> Yeah. >> We can't ask that again. Yeah, that that's when I I think it was my the
first budget I was here, it was I mean that was the ask. um that's what we funded and then it did reduce it went down the last two years and I think the rationale for it going down was they were putting this capital plans they
were working on an extra actually like a comprehensive capital plan that would prepare them to better prioritize and request funding moving forward. Um and that's um that's been that assess the building
assessments have been metam um >> am I reading it right that even after all the the capital usage on free cash the balance is growing year on year even with all the appropriations. >> Yeah. >> Correct. >> It's part of that financial plan that we
had discussed that we should have what was it 10 10%. >> It was 10% is the recommended. So 10% of our overall budget we should have in that line item. So we're not even at five. >> Yeah. Because that ends up being what
70,000 increase year and year. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So >> So overall is what 14 million. >> The other the other thing we could do if we wanted to preserve more free cash is we could
>> Oh, this is there. We could take out >> the 100 last year since they're developing >> and we could cuz we still do have the PAS settlement funds >> that are sitting in an account that we
could basically replace the free cash appropriation those accounts with a with the PAS settlement just so we continue the practice of contributing to those funds but also preserve more balance and free cash if we if we were conf if we were more comfortable
with doing that. >> And [clears throat] now remembering the special time meeting articles that came out of general fund. I remember the ones I thought they came out of the CPA fund. >> There were a couple that we took on because they were one time. >> Yeah. So free cash approach
>> free cash appropriations at special fund were the website >> and then there were two grant matches. There was a 15,000 for um for the route 113 grant. Yeah. >> Um actually I'm sorry I think it was an
18,000 and then there was a 15 and for the new fire forestry fire truck from um the grant new grant that I remember my thank you there we do sign better position than we were
a month ago. >> Yeah. So I mean I know that was a lot of work for the team of pet protection to go. Well, my >> candically my state is worrying about this budget is
you were talking about like the bal repack balance even with the appropriations it's increasing. >> We're lose you know we're every year the budget's getting tighter and leaner and we're next year we're not going to have
a lot of flexibility that we've we've had. we're losing a lot of it next year with this with this budget that's in front of you. And so, not only does that make it more important to manage the budget,
which that's fine, but it also um you know, anything unanticipated happens, it makes things much more difficult, >> and it's just not going to we're not going to generate as much free cash year over year as we have been. So that while the
balance is healthier now, our annual reoccurring generation will start to decline. Um so that's why like even with the way we use free cash, we'll have to be a little more thoughtful. Not not thoughtful, that's
not the right word. We're just cautious um with uh with the map moving forward >> because even with that balance as it is right now the uh well last year we used 105,000 some neighborhood >> and we're looking at doing that again.
So it's just even if we left it a loan, it's still going to go down. And then >> yeah, but if it's a question, [clears throat] sorry, >> if it's a question between an override and using it, I say I mean, >> yeah,
>> I'm not happy about it either, but >> we're not going [clears throat] to pass it overnight, so it's not. And you may have talked it before I got here, but the uh how how comfortable are you with the the revenue? >> Yeah, we talked about it. Um much less
comfortable than the original estimates, but um >> yeah, it's >> I think the new growth number is comfortable. I think we'll be okay. I talked to the assessor if she was comfortable with that. Um I mean, you see the history of the
receipts. Uh, I think it's it's more aggressive than I'd like to be for sure. Um, I talked to the town accountant about um where he thought we could be and that he was that's the number he suggested. Um, I did ask
>> give me the highest estimate you would be comfortable with and that's the number that he gave. >> Don't jump in the hole in your seat. It's kind of jumped out at me. The 50k. >> Yeah. this. >> Yeah. >> Anything under that be absorbed in free cash, right? So,
>> that's right. >> Which hits in that 5% we're trying to get pretty hard. >> Yeah. >> I mean the 10% we're trying to get. >> Yes. >> It's the one challenge of better budget budgeting is less remainder. All right. Um, any other further
discussion, questions, comments, concerns? >> That's good. >> I was expecting it to come north of still in the deficit. So,
>> good to see. Yeah. Um, so next item on the agenda, we can move forward to the reverse reserve. Some reason I want to call it reverse funds. That'd be great if we could just pull all this money back from these funds. Uh, but uh the uh reserve fund
transfers. Um I do not have a lot of information on the back side of this here but uh so >> you >> uh so yeah we'll start off with the first one here for the uh contractual increase
in salary for share treasury collector. >> Yep. So um this will fund the the salary our salary obligation for the balance of the year. >> Mhm.
>> Um the sheer treasure sorry a year increase that wasn't accounted for. Uh and I had 20 honestly I budgeted 20% and they're charging 25%. So that's really
the that's the um the big one and 25% is actually the legitimate share that we uh that we get. So that's what we should be paying. >> Okay, that's that one.
uh dog officer site and we um have a new dog officer and um I asked the old dog officer staying on with her just to um help with the transition. So that request is just to cover the additional
cost of the trans staff transition. Um I has been a problem I think every year and um so this is I'm hoping that 5,000 will get us through
the remainder every year. >> Council I mean let's let's be clear though you've you've actively worked to fix the IT problems when you came when you started here. I mean, >> oh, >> because I remember >> it was a daily problem the first time
there and now >> it's very thankfully it's very rare. It's much improved that as I added it should it's substantially yeah um town council we are way over spent um
and I'm not sure if 10,000 is going to get us through um and the major driver of being of that overspend is um is a nuisance dog um appeal that we had to go
through the courts of Um, and it just ended, but it was a significant cost to the gun. >> So, nuisance dog. >> Nuisance dog's dog. >> You can you can look it up. Um, so did we win? >> We did. >> Good. >> Yeah. >> Is there going to be an appeal?
>> Google that one. >> I think he's exhausted his appeals. >> He appealed. He appealed again. We won both times. It should be a set of name but um but it was not a um was not a
sheet embedded. So um yeah. So um and the last sheet gives you um it gives you just an account full accounting and then the balance that we'll have after these transfers. We'll have just over $2,000 left in the
present verse. Um to get the truth. >> I said the only thing pretty close being this, you know, it could be a year end or something, >> right? [clears throat] >> Four months.
>> Yeah. >> Okay. Some of these, for instance, the IT, I would normally um even the treasurer salary, I would normally wait till the end of year, but because I had to bring in others, I figured I just do
this at the same time. Um like for instance, a dog and we'll get through. We could get through till the end of the year because it's only 1,800. I figure um Michael J supports. >> Is that working out pretty good? New
dog. >> Very good. >> And some training with you. >> Excellent. Excellent. >> Sounds like there's a dog today. >> It's probably been helpful to have the old one. I guess we're going to lose its dog. >> Yeah. Oh, no. It's Yeah. Yeah. They both
attended the president along with the chief soft. >> Yes. [laughter] >> Everyone else is on salary. So >> all right. Uh so we'll start at the top
here. Uh unless anyone has any questions, but we'll run through these here. Um, so I'll entertain a motion to uh transfer the amount of $10,100 to be transferred to the treasurer's salary. The present balance in the
account is 19,27167 and the amount requested will be covered to will be used for salaries for the remainder of the fiscal year and is due to contractual increases for the shared uh treasury collector.
>> Motion. >> The motion's made. Do we have a second? Second. All those in favor. Um the second one here is discussed. Uh there I'll entertain a motion to uh transfer the amount of uh $1,818
to be transferred to the dog officer statement. Uh the present balance in said appropriation is $2,835.19. The amount requested will be used to cover the dog officer stipen for the remainder of the fiscal year. And this
is to cover staff transitioning policies. >> Motion made. I have second. All those in favor? >> And third one on the list here, I'll entertain a motion to transfer the amount of $5,000 to be transferred to
the technician services and with the present balancing account of $4,451.58. The amount requested will be used for uh the to cover the cost of IT services for the remainder of the year and to cover
the higher than expected IT expenses. >> Fiscal year. >> Fiscal year. >> Yeah. Oh, let's just say remainder of the year. Fiscal year. Yeah, that's Yeah. >> All right. Uh >> motion made. >> Motion made. We have a second.
>> All those in favor? Can I change that to fiscal year on? >> Yeah, absolutely. And the final one on this evening here is the uh I'll entertain a motion to transfer the amounts of $10,000 uh to be
transferred to the town council line item with a present balance prior to the set to the appropriation of $3,379.35. The amount is being requested for to cover legal uh expenses for the remainder of the fiscal year. This
expenditure uh is to cover higher legal expenses than anticipated. Motion motion made and we have a second. Second. All those in favor. Look at that. All right. And then I had these written
down, but now I don't have them written down. I know we discussed previously we had uh October yeah October 15th meeting minutes,
October 28th and November 4th meeting minutes that we had previously uh discussed and uh want to see if anyone has any
modifications they would like to make or can we uh I'd entertain a motion to approve them as written? Any comments, questions, concerns? No. Okay. Right. Anyone want to make a motion to approve those? >> Motion made. Second. All right. All
those in favor? >> This is the uh fun part of it. Uh any other topics that have uh not recently been anticipated by the chair? Anything else we need to discuss or go over? >> Who's up for re-election this year?
>> It's me. >> Yeah. >> Oh man, thank you that [laughter] are coming out soon. Thank [clears throat] [laughter] Let me know. >> Let me know how it turns out. [laughter]
>> So don't worry about >> So we do have uh obviously in prior years uh we have or prior discussions we have attended I guess the school boards uh usually public hearings with regard to this. Uh I don't know that we have
much in question really at this point. I mean we kind of understand where their increases are coming from. We're currently not at a position where we're typically at where we would uh be pursuing a uh an override. We're not at that position here. Um
if we if we want, we can post a meeting for the 25th at the school board's meeting. Uh is anything you select go into any of these or no? Um >> I don't sure. Okay. Sure. >> Um so I'll throw that out there if uh do we want to post a meeting for the 25th?
to attend their meeting. >> I definitely will not be there. >> Okay. It's >> I don't February 25th, right? Yeah. >> Yeah. February 25th. >> I think they're at >> 7.
>> Yeah. 7 p.m. >> I'm able to make that leave. I'm traveling. >> We Matt, are you interested? >> You're not interested. >> You're not interested. I mean there's nothing for me to >> We need four, right? >> Yeah. >> Right. Only two go. We don't need posting.
>> Oh, yeah. >> I was going to say if you if you want to have representation there, you know, I I'll consider it. But I mean, >> we just don't have to post it and this wouldn't be >> I serve at the pleasure of the valuable chair. >> Oh,
temporarily both. >> Um yeah. Yes. So, from that perspective, we wouldn't need to, you know, we wouldn't need to post anything. Um, we're not going to be able to get a forum there. But if we do want to attend, it is on the 25th at 7:00. Um, just a reminder that obviously we're be
attending as citizens and questions or I believe it gets dicey whether that we can discuss, right? We're open. It's not a You mean if there's not a farmer? Yeah. Yeah. It should be all right.
So it just kind of more of your personal opinions not to the not those of the advisory board at that point in time as we would not have a quorum discuss. So and that would be if if you did get up to make a comment it would be speaking on behalf of yourself not on your
retained positions within the uh within the town. So, just a one of those things that that's all you need is somebody to come in and just, you know, say that you violated some open meeting law or uh if there were three of us and not four and we didn't have a quorum but we were
acting as a as a board that it gets it gets questionable. So, we don't want to get into those uh matches that uh don't end well for anybody. So, um, that would put us on I want to avoid any I know
we're starting to get into Do you have any other dates in mind, Jason? If we have anything that we want to meet in March um, and if we could look at calendars as to whether or not set of March 4th, March
11th, we have anything that we really need to aside from just meetings on a regular basis. Yeah, that's the budget range. >> Okay. >> I don't know. >> It wouldn't be bad if if we did go to the 25th and get if there was any additional information. The fourth wouldn't be [clears throat] a horrible
time to sit down and talk. Um heads up to >> Well, for me, the fourth has been a lot. Okay. >> As I work for at least a quorum. Yeah. On March 4th, I'll I'll get a posting up for March
4th. Or I'll email Jason in a panic and say, "Can you post for me? I don't think we'll have much else to discuss at that point just aside from budget discussions there." Yeah. So that might be a quick one as
well. So be good. If there's no other uh matters to attend to, I would entertain a motion to adjurnn. >> Oh, we have to wait. Is there any comments from the public? >> I think we're the only ones on people. No,
>> I'm sure this will get you go viral on YouTube. >> Yeah, that's my plan. I think we'll have to do something a little more salacious than we can return to our previous discussion before the meeting started >> when the when the camera was unplugged.
Uh >> all right. Well, uh again I entertain a motion to adjurnn. Motion made and second. All those in favor? Thank you very much.
