Once our technical difficulties are over, we're going to have a poll hearing, which is not the most exciting thing that ever happened to Grimpy, but every time they move, I don't know if they just when they move Telephone phone.
>> They usually have a a hearing. Is she on there? >> She should be, but maybe she's ringing. >> Sabrina better. >> She's on the bottom. So, can she hear us? Sabrina, can you hear us? Arth can hear us. So
>> Arthur can hear the the other one looks like it's muted still. >> Arthur, you're here for Brusso, right? >> Okay, we'll be up in a little bit here. We're supposed to have a hearing, a poll hearing with Sabrina. >> Okay. >> Can't hear anything.
>> TV. Okay. I don't know if it's a TV volume or if it's It should be coming through this. >> Uh, not yet. We're supposed to We have a poll poll hearing scheduled, which sounds sounds about as funny as it is
fun, I guess. But we need her on it. >> She's on it. I don't know if she can't just hear us or >> she's muted. He's just here to make sure that I don't somehow not connect with you. >> Uh Sabrina and
>> Sabrina's with you. >> You all right? >> Is somebody here? >> Just here for me. >> Somebody here for >> Oh, I'm not very >> Oh, there we go. >> All right. We'll be right with you. Um >> that's all right. Uh why don't you step up and introduce yourself for us? >> We're going to have uh open up the
hearing for Paul. You can have a seat if you like. >> You want me to read this? >> Yeah, please. In accordance with the provision of section 22, chapter 166 of Massachusetts General Laws, you're notified that a public hearing will be held on Monday,
December 22nd, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. or soon as after the agenda permits at 10B West State Street, the Senior Building, first floor, Granny Mass 01033. >> All right. Could you just state your name for the record? >> My name is Torren Hamilton.
>> Okay. Um, so he will speak and he'll tell us about this poll and then uh we'll entertain questions or concerns. >> So, National Grid is proposing that we install a new solely owned pole on um Cold Hill Road beginning approximately
920 ft south of the center line at the intersection with Cold Hill Drive. The new pole 33-1 will be approximately 40 ft across from existing pole 33. The purpose of this new pole is for service to 90 Cold Hill Road.
>> Okay. So, this is like at the end of Cold Hill Drive. Is that what you're saying? >> Yeah. Up towards the top. >> Okay. >> Is it a new building lot? >> Yeah. Yeah. There's two going in side by side. >> All right. >> Where where they went down the hill there. >> Yes. >> Yeah. This is the next next house being
put up is what I understand. >> Will it be going near anyone else's property or anything? No, >> it's just going to go on Town just outside on the between those two lots. They're owned by the same developer. It's going to >> go to both. >> Okay.
>> Uh I read in here it's uh you're also asking for permission to lay and maintain underground lateral cables. Can you give us an explanation of that? >> So um we will be going overhead from 33 to 33-1. The customer will then be going
underground to their properties. >> I didn't know if it was going to run along the road or not. >> No. No. >> Very good. Thank you. >> Do you have any questions, ma'am? >> I was concerned about the first letter there for its Dr.
by location and permission to erect and maintain poles and wires. That's what cons says poles and wires, not just that one, but together with such sustaining and protecting fixes as it may find necessary said poles to be erected
substantially in accordance with the plan. That's a direct concern because are you talking about we might have to erect additional poles? >> No, no, no. That paragraph is to state that any uh so any fixtures we need to
put up like an anchor for that pole >> that's covered under this uh document but it would just be one pole by itself with an anchor. >> Okay. So um well I have confusion why
I am in I am and the budget cuz I guess the number but my um 88 number 88 is the new house that is now there across the street from me. He had it pulled but
then right directly on my at my house is on the left hand side of right across and I never got a notice meeting >> hur to him. I'm much closer to him than I am down.
>> Yeah, absolutely. And also I noticed about a month ago there's a pink ribbon that's nailed into like it's nailed into the ground right in front of that pole that is on 91 gold
but all other poles are have that um pink ribbon. So, and then I got this letter and so I thought, well, that was they marked it out. Stays there. Maybe now I'm with you. You know, you know what I'm talking about. It's a pink It's a pink strip like a ribbon
that's in the ground. >> So, that sounds like a surveyor. >> Pink. Pink is usually a property line. Uh, if we mark something, it's usually white. >> That That's our This is pink also in my property. >> Okay. >> It's not right on the line, too. And
then I got this and another. So there's no other pink mark um that marking on any of the poles. >> So >> there there wouldn't be any the pink markings are for your building lots. If
National Grid were to mark something other than the pool that they're installing, it would be marked in white for electricity. Yeah, >> they have different they have different color ribbons for different designations. >> Pink is for your
property lines and boundaries. >> Who would have done that? >> Uh if it's a new building lot, it would have been the surveyor that did that. And it's not it's within my >> So if it was already a building lot that was pre-existing
um being it was already registered in town as a building lot, then they would also have to have a surveyor come in just to mark those property lines to make sure they keep their setbacks from those property lines to build that new structure. So if it wasn't previously marked, they
had to hire a surveyor to come in and mark it. That's what I understand from what you're saying anyway. >> Well, am I going to go survey and I I know where my markers are. Does is that going to
have anything to do with changing what I already have? >> Are you are you when they have the electrical pole going across the street, they want to make sure they're the right distance away on each side of the road to keep the road
open. They don't want to block anything. It shouldn't have an effect on your property or anything >> anybody or any property line. The only is she saying it's across the street?
>> No, she's 86. >> No, 80 is the new house. She's here. I think >> we do. I thought she was 88. >> Okay. So, she's here. that we discussed. Make sure they put it in the right
stock. >> Okay. >> Um, does anybody else have any concerns about this pool? >> So, it's really cut and dry and that's one pole going across. >> Nope.
>> Just as what happened further up where I'm Okay. >> Actually, don't we put the metal in our yard? >> Yeah. Don't blame him. >> We actually had we had that once before on another street. There was somebody said, "We will run the cable. We'll run
the electrical cable under the road." And uh turned out he couldn't do that and they put a pole in somebody's yard instead. >> Well, it can happen. >> Cool. If there are no other uh comments or anything, we're going to close the hearing >> and is there anything else we need to do? I
haven't done one of these in a long time. >> Yeah. So, close the public part of the hearing. Now, we'll deliberate. >> Deliberate. Yeah. >> Do you like polls? In favor of polls? >> Yeah. I I haven't heard anything. >> I agree with the proposal. >> All right. So, I'll make a motion to
approve the uh for National Grid to place the poll as indicated. I will second the motion. >> Okay. All in favor? I >> I >> Franklin County. You're all set. >> Thank you very much. >> Thanks.
>> Hope you enjoyed it. You do you do a lot of these or >> Yeah, we do. >> Awesome. >> So, you're good at it now. >> This is my first one. >> It's your first one. >> Yep. >> You did all right. If you if you need a recommendation or anything for your next poll hearing, please don't hesitate to call. >> We'll do. Thank you very much.
>> I'll get you a letter. >> All right. >> Okay. So, we have an action item for the Franklin County Council of Government's Fiscal year 27 collective highway bid program contract. Dave D. Roer, tell us
all about it. Okay. Basically, um some of the contracts that we go through Franklin Cog on are signed by the municipality. basically any um vendor that is providing material like
to the town itself because it it's um sight specific. If if like Palmer Paving is delivering asphalt to Graanby or delivering it to Greenfield, it's two different prices. So any any contract like that that is issued to Furcog,
they let the individual town initiate the contract and sign the contract with the vendor because it's a separate price for each town. Um as compared to like a vendor that's providing just a a pipe bid or something like that, they're just
supplying materials at their at their location like EJP. If you go there to purchase pipe, it's the same price for Graanby as it is for Springfield, as it is for Greenfield, as it is for anybody. That's the price when you go there to pick it up because it's not specific on
a on a location. Um, so basically, this is u authorizing us to or designating a person to sign the the contract with Furcog. I've signed them in 2024, I believe. I signed
all of the contracts in 2025. I think Chris did again. In 26, I think Tammy did. Um, and basically what's most important is that we don't hold up the signatures on these because
basically you have a a page of signatures with each individual town. And if it holds up if one town holds it up, they can't issue the entire contract. So, you're holding up 40 other towns or whatever, however many are are signed on. So, it's important um that
who's whoever is the designated signature has to be right on it. When they come in, they're emailed from Furcog. They have to be reviewed and signed and processed pretty quickly because it pulls everybody up. Um obviously, it's it's pretty much just a
routine um award of the contract. As you know, we have to go with the low bid. Um, and there is uh the only way you can get around that is if you document that a particular contractor is um
non-responsive or responsible bidder. And that's pretty hard to do. Um, these contracts are all pre-screened and pre-qualified through u mass dot because we use chapter 90 money on most of them. So, we rarely have too many issues with any
of the contractors. So, um that really isn't an issue. We typically award to the low bid, but Franklin uh county and Hampshire County before that did a a pretty good job um structuring the
contracts. In fact, we changed them um after the October storm to include um contractors, any type of contractor that we would need pre-work so we don't have to go with the state bid. We're we're
actually putting out bids that would help us do another event like that because we were barely able to get it done with local contracts back then. But we restructured a lot of these bids. Um,
in fact, I wrote the one for trees originally with New Hampshire County and it's been tweaked and modified and um, input from all the other towns over the last few years and it's we've got some pretty good contracts right now in place. That's the spiel.
>> All right, Dave, can I just ask one question? It says um, there's a line here. It says bid opening which is currently anticipated to be on Thursday, May 7th, 2026. So we sign the contract now and then the bids come forward. Is that
>> No, you're authorizing me or Kevin, whoever you I >> Well, I see both of your names. >> Yeah, we put them both on there just >> so we don't one of us is unavailable or whatever, we both can do it. >> Um those are for the summer bids typically.
>> Okay. uh all the asphalt stone. Uh they normally put the winter bids out a little later. I think they're in August sometime. >> Okay. So, we've already seen this come across. >> Oh, yeah. It's every year. Every year. >> I do remember it. I just didn't remember reading that piece of it. So, thank you.
>> And like I said, in past years and it's it's a mix. Some towns about half and half. Some towns are the awarding authority is or the signature on it is the highway superintendent. Some are the town administrator. >> Um, when I when I did it in 2024, I
think Chris was worried that he was uh had some health issues going on or whatever, and he just had me uh on on it for 2024, and I signed every contract in 2024. >> Well, we want I'll make a motion to have
Dave D. Rocher sign off on the Franklin Regional Council of Governments for the uh FYI 27 contract signature bid. >> You good with that, Dave? >> Fine. I'll I'll bounce everything off
Kevin anyway, but it's uh >> and the only reason I say that to to the board, Kevin is just uh filling in if you will and I think Dave has been through this many times and knows it understands it. So I feel he's looking over and obviously he would go through
it with Kevin anyways. But >> I I don't disagree Glenn, but there's also the last page here. It could be us. So either way it doesn't matter. >> I think you guys have to sign that to say that you're authorizing one of us. So, okay. >> Yes. >> So, I will second that motion. >> All those in favor? >> I
>> Do you guys have one that we can sign? >> Well, it must be in our signature page. Glenn must have in front of them. Guess >> we'll have to dig it up. Those are all the ones. These are
all the minutes. So, I'm going to say no. I don't have a pass to sign. No, we can use this one. I just pulled it out of my pack highlighter or anything. Good. >> There's one in another folder. >> Oh, is it here? Is it here? I'm trying
to fold. >> Nope. They all went that way. >> No. >> Oh, here it is. Okay. >> I like these things. >> I only have to look through this. I don't actually get stopped midway. So that put it here.
>> I'll just sign it up at the top or I'm just looking for the signature. Just says select board of mayor town city of double where Do you have this page on it? >> Yes. >> Yeah.
>> What if someone sign it down there? >> Yeah. >> And I'll sign it up at the top. >> Seattle contract. >> That's just the >> that's that's that's authorizing them to docu sign afterwards. >> There we can jade it.
>> Yeah. We'll do the rest by automator. Still don't know what day it is. 22. >> 22nd. Yep. >> Ping. So >> that was one of the better pole hearings been. I >> think you're good. I think the one date is off the top. Yep. All right.
>> Did Did you need that? Oh, >> I don't need it. We just send >> No, we'll just send it send um Holly send it wherever we have to send it and wait for the docy sign. >> All right. Thank you, Dave. Good. Um >> thank you, sir.
>> Thank you. >> Uh next up is our action item here. Russo Liquor Mart is changing officers and um any explanation for that or >> uh I think we have >> I'm not sure if you can explain it
>> change of ownership. >> I think there was a change in >> change of water stuff. >> Yes. >> Change of the manager. >> Arthur, would you like to speak to that >> change of officer director and Okay. My name is Arthur.
I represent 367 East State Inc. doing business as Brussos Likramat at 367 East State Street in Grand Due to the untimely passing of Bijen Patel. They're seeking a transfer of the stock of the
corporation from Bijen Patel to her daughter-in-law Jill Patel who will now be the 100% shold. They're also seeking a change of officer and director of the corporation of 15 exchange.
The corporation holds an all alcohol package store license and therefore this change of stock ownership officer and director must be approved by the town of Graanby and the ABCC. 367 East State Inc. is a mass
corporation. If the transfer of start and changes are approved, Jill Patel will be the president, treasurer, secretary, soul director, and 100% shareholder. Jill Patel is currently
living at 260 Salem Street in Andover, Mass. Massachusetts. The current operating hours will be maintained. The layout of the store will be maintained. Nothing regarding the operation of the business is changing. This is all about
corporate structure and stock ownership. The current manager will continue to be the manager on the liquor license and is familiar with the laws relative to the sale of alcohol and will continue to uphold the statutory law as well as any
rules or regulations of the town of Graanby regarding the sale of alcohol. We're respectfully requesting that the change of officer, director, and stockholder be approved. >> Okay. Thank you.
>> Um, so I understand that completely. I was just curious, do we now change the license name because we already renewed that license, I believe, under the old name. >> I'm sorry. Do you want me to respond? If
if you could did you hear me? >> I think you were asking if the name of the business or the corporation is changing and it is not. >> That's not changing. >> We're just changing ownership of the stock. >> Okay. >> Is the ownership is the owner listed on the license? I think is what you're
asking. >> Right. So the new owner do do they have to be listed on the license as opposed to the old owner because we already renewed that license. >> Yeah. No, it doesn't have to change. It will still be 36070 state BBA Russo's
lickup and if you do some cities and towns put the manager on that license as well and the manager is staying the same so nothing has changed. >> Okay, I do recall that. Thank you. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, I'm good.
>> I'll make a motion that we approve the change of officers. for 367 East State Street, Inc. Uh does business as Brusso Liquor Mark and this
is in reference to their liquor license. >> I will second the motion. >> All in favor? >> I >> I thank you very much. We're all set. >> One just one question. >> Sure. You you said by officers but you
also the director is changing >> and the ownership they stock have changed. >> It's all corporate. It has nothing to do with political license per se but it's all the corporation. So I'm asking >> director manager >> change of officers as well and the
change of stock ownership. >> All right. All right. So, I'll resend my motion and make a additional motion to approve change of officers, directors, LLC managers. Also, uh issue transfer of
stock to new stockholder for 367 East State Street, Inc. does business as Russo Liquor Mart. And this is in reference to their liquor license. >> I'll second the motion. that we're okay with that motion.
>> Thank you. Yes, sir. >> Okay. >> All those in favor? >> I I >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Um, next up is Randy, come on up and talk about the awarding charter days
rides contracts. >> All right. We had >> Can I just have you state your name so they have them on camera? >> Sorry. Randy Gabin, uh, chairman, um, Graby Charter Days. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Okay. >> Okay. We have two bids come in. One from
Delli, uh, which he went up on the pro what he was even offering us in June. Um, and we got one from Fiesta shows to compare it all. Uh,
to help to help everybody out. In the long run, we we end up with more from Fiestas than we do with Benellis. Uh, they they their the contract price is lower, but then they're offering to
help us towards the fireworks. uh the tower lights, picnic tables, uh chain link vents, um and then they're just for the kids for the rides. There 50 making memories charitable certificates for us to give out to, you
know, families in need. Um and they'll have somebody come to one of our meetings to sit with us and discuss everything with us. But these were just plain and simple the actual contract that was sent to him and We're still ending up with more going
with Fiesta. >> All right. So, what was the what are the like bottom lines? >> Uh 15 from Finanelli. >> Mhm. >> And total in just uh going towards the
fireworks and uh the the bid is 165 and then that doesn't include all the rest of the stuff. >> Well, we're getting a lot of extras. >> A lot of extras. So, they're giving us $2,000 towards the fireworks show to help us out with that. Even though their bid was 145,
the money all goes back into the whole system. So, it's still 165. They'll send us half of that money uh next month. >> Um which was supposed to be done all along with in the original contracts. >> Um never was.
Um so, they just offered us so much more. There was no way we could turn it down. Five members were at the last meeting and they all signed this one contract stating that this is who they choose. Okay. >> Um and we just need you guys to sign off on and say it's all right.
>> Were there uh bid specs sent out? >> Yes. We we the only ones we well the first time it was sent out they were they were I mailed them out and didn't realize sending an RFP to these people and
nobody got them. So then they redid the sealed bid and uh it went out I mean not the sealed bid redid the bid and they went out to three different shows. We >> we went to Nelly can't remember the
other company's name and Fiesta. Um >> my my my question is it seems like one of the companies is offering additional additional work additional things >> to help us out >> to help you out. >> Yes.
>> Was that part of the bid? Did the other contract >> on the This is just what they're offering to help us out with. The other contract is >> Okay. But what I'm asking, did the other company that bid on that, did they realize they're able to do that?
>> Yeah, he's had it. I mean, he's had it for three years. >> According to the >> So, you're talking about like whether the what the request for the for the for the bid, what the quest for the bid was because if they >> It doesn't say anything in there. It was just them offering to help with these
other covers. >> I I I understand that. But if if the bid goes out and there's bid specs and I bid towards what the specs are of that bid, that's all I'm bidding on is what you asked for.
That's so I'm just saying are you comparing apples to apples. If another company bids something, >> well, I'm going to give you A, B, C, D, and E, and F, too. >> Well, the other company says, I didn't know you could do that. That's not what you asked for. >> Um, do we have copies of all that? Huh?
>> Do we have copies of all this stuff, too? >> Uh, do they have copies? >> Can I check? >> Yes, please. >> So, the first time it went out, it went out as a seal in process. That's how they've always done it here. >> That's not what are required to do. That's kind of above and beyond.
>> So, when it came back and was just a mix up, people said they didn't receive them. Yeah. >> So I looked at it and for municipalities you can go up to 100,000 for supplies and services which is a small lender >> on just a simple poll process. So I
simplified the documents that were sealed bid down to you know kind of a written price quotation like you have to do >> and I sent that out. >> So which company added extra? They just took it upon themselves to ask for it.
>> And Benelli could have done that as well. It's not specified in there, but it's just >> just like you would get quotes for, you know, a $5,000 thing. Um, you don't have to use this. So, it's it's just a little
um less conrictive to do that. Does that clarify at all for you? >> So, was it was it a quest for proposals or a crest for a quote that we were sending out? It was a request for quote it says request for
quotations here was in the packet. >> Okay. >> Yeah. But it's it's not the there's a request for both that's very um cumbersome. It's not that process. It's just a simple gets and process.
So, Finelli was at 15,000 and Fiesta was at 14,500 with all the extras. >> 16,500 with the extras. >> Okay. >> The additional consideration is attached. It's on the back side of that page where it's $2,000 towards
fireworks, $4,000 Fiesta show light to four Fiesta Show light towers, 10 picnic tables, 500 foot of chain link fence. >> You have to say that. >> Yeah. >> 14,000. Right. It says the quotes 145. Right. >> Yes. And then it says underneath that it
says additional considerations attached. >> And I I read that that it says they're giving you 2,000. >> Considerations are Yeah. I read that as they're giving you 2,000 towards fireworks on top. >> 14 not not >> Yeah. on top of the 145.
>> So that's being added to the contract as well. >> Yes. >> To get those extra. So it's an additional 2,000 more. >> Yes, sir. >> So this >> I apologize. >> Okay. So this number is going to reflect 16,500. Yes, sir. >> Not 14,500. Thank you.
>> He was just trying to break it down so that we would h have a where you know what he was trying to help us extra out with. All right. So, any discussion here or want to keep looking at things?
>> I've read through it. I was just curious on the that number. I the way I understood it is it sounded like they were giving 2,000 towards fireworks on top of the other amenities that they were going to give, but it's in addition
to some the quotation price is incorrect. It should reflect 16,500. >> Okay. So with with the addition of
four lake towers, 10 picnic tables, 500 ft of chain link fence, 50 making memories charitable certificates and manager to attend committee meetings upon request. The 2,000 for fireworks is not included
as a gift. It's in the contract. >> Okay. >> So the number was written wrong on the first page. >> Yeah. That's the way I understand it, right? Okay. Thank you. So Fiesta shows is less expensive
anyways. They're 145 and the other one's 15,000. >> We're not paying for it. >> No, no, no. I understand that. >> No, but they're six. Actually, it >> that's what they're giving us. >> They're giving us 16,500. Uh Finelli's 15,000.
because of the way it's worded. They were putting they were going to additionally it's 2,000 to help us pay for the fireworks. >> It's confusing. >> Yes, >> they broke it down. It's kind of It's a little bit confusing the way they broke it down. It should have been a total
unit price of 16,500 and then they could have put a clause in that said 2,000 is for the fireworks, not in addition to. Well, says yes. It shows in spirit of building a long long and lasting relationship, we're willing to offer the
following additional items for the committee usage and our our expense. $2,000 towards fireworks. >> That's why I understood that. Yes. >> So, they're giving us additional money. >> Yes. >> So, why is it costing us 16,500
instead of 14,500? >> No. No. If they're paying us, they pay us. They're giving us 2,000 more. It's a situation where we don't want the whole bid. >> That's right. >> I was thinking the same thing. I'm like, well, don't want to go. >> They pay us to set up and all that. They make all the money off.
>> So, so essentially they're giving it to us. >> Yeah. >> They're giving us more than the other people. >> How How's that compare to last year? Mike, >> uh, last year was 8,500 and then before when it was done, he offered 1,500 more and uh, I just we had
a commit uh, committee meeting and said we'll put it out for bid. >> Okay. So, we're going to substantially more than we got last year. >> D well just about double the amount. So, >> so I my recommendation is we run this through town council because it kind of
they they they actually bid 145 and the other company bid 15 and it's almost like well to get us over the top we'll do this for you or that for you as well. >> Seems part of it >> seems like it. So that's >> good. We can mount it. Good enough to
>> run run it by just make sure that's their bid 145. The other company's at 15. And it's almost like, well, to put us over the top, we'll give you this, this, and this. Make it work. >> But also, the only reason this one's at 15 is this one saw what his original bid
on the first contract was because it was put on the town website. >> No, I'm just saying. I'm just letting you know that in advance. I'm just looking at comparing apples to apples and I'm not saying right or wrong. I just want to make sure >> our town council looks that that that's fine. If you want to
>> can we vote that can we approve the contingent upon approval by time? >> We're not set by time frame, are we? >> We have time. >> Uh yeah, we have uh >> well usually it's by like February or March of last year. I think
>> February I think it's February. >> Yeah. So, I'll send it over to Brian. >> Brian, just check out. >> Plus, I'm trying to get on your your agenda for uh the last one in January. So, >> okay, >> that's sounds good. >> Discuss it then. >> It's almost >> All right, but thank you for uh going
out for bid and actually getting us more money than we've gotten ever. >> No problem. >> All right. Thank Thanks, Randy. >> Okay. Next up, um we good. Yeah, I was just going to say I think they they need
to reflect the full number here in the quotation breaking up like it is. >> All right, next up we have John Edwards. The forester, not the medium. >> Medium often appears in Springfield tells you tells you uh
talks with your dead relatives. All right, got an update on forestry phase 2 at D France. >> Yes, good good evening John Edwards. Um I believe that uh you have seen the uh I I provided some submissions uh to uh I
believe you um of sort of the history of this is this is the second time we've done this would be the if you approve it it's the second time we've done it. Um I basically like to get permission to go ahead and move forward. Just to recap, um, Sure.
>> This is a less like a intrusive cutting than the last one. >> Well, you know, all cutting is intrusive. Yeah. You know, I don't want to try to put lipstick on this. Sure. >> Um, it's disruptive. My goal is to use the existing land that we used last time
so we don't create another opening in the park footprint along the um parking area. Um, we set a goal to do it only in the winter. I'm prepared to do that. Uh, if we can again, it turned out we didn't
do that and the results were great. Uh, from my point of view anyway. I didn't hear Well, I think the results were good. So, um, it's more acreage than last time. >> Mhm. >> Um, but less
intensive. Uh first cut um was pretty intensive because we basically were salvaging dead wood. Uh we're going to do that again because there's dead wood sprinkled through the uh the remains of the of the area that we're we're proposing.
>> So the goal is to get that out. Um I'm surprised it's still sound and useful, but it you know it still is. And so I think it's probably a little more impactful in the sense that it's a larger area. So it it
includes more trails. So um I I I would be remiss to say that it isn't going to potentially be more obvious than the other one was. >> Okay. So yeah, >> any questions? >> No.
>> No, I don't either. We we've gone we went over this in the spring when Crystal was here. So >> I think >> we approved the second cutting. So >> I think I Yeah, I think I No, I'm not on there. Yeah, I think you've been here since I've been on the board again. So
>> Okay. Um All right. We don't need to vote on anything. We just need to let it ride. So >> great. >> Okay. So, I'll go ahead and proceed, you know, with a perspectus and the notice to bid and work through the select board's office to, you know, the first
time >> I gave you my paperwork summary of what we're going to do, copy of the cutting plan, and then you generated a a bid package. So, I'm hoping that's what we can do again. I I prop I provided a copy
of what we did last time. So, it's a good footprint, I think, for for going ahead this time. >> Okay. >> Great. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. >> Okay. Um, is there somebody here from the West
Street building project? >> Sure, there's a couple. >> All right. >> And miss your name for the record. My name is Lynn Mercer, chairperson of the West Street Building Project. So, good news. Since I last saw you two
weeks ago, we did get a response back from the Attorney General's office. The bid protest was denied. So, we can now formally publish the GC bids and we intend to accept the lowest bid. So,
we're currently preparing the documents to award that contract. So now we need to follow up with the select board and the finance committee um regarding procuring funding for a contingency. Um we have 90 days that the bids are
good for. We wrote that into the bid documents. So our bids are good till February around February 6th. So we would need to go into a special town meeting sometime in January. So, I accept time to meet with all of you, one of you, and the finance
committee to figure out what we need and where it's coming from. >> Yeah, I think we're going to need a town meeting for uh reserve fund transfers, too. So, >> so we can do it in J in January. >> Sounds like we have a deadline of February 6.
>> Well, do because we have to make a decision by then. So, >> yeah. >> Okay. Um, we're going to set it. We don't really want to set a date tonight or do we? >> It's up to you. >> Well, we have we have post two weeks, right? >> All right. We might as well do it now.
>> Oh, wait. Wait a minute. >> We have to only have the post town meeting for two weeks. >> Town meeting. We also have to I want a meeting with us. >> With us, right? >> So you guys understand the numbers and where we're coming at. >> So with us first and then we'll schedule a town meeting. We have to do that in
open meeting though. any way you want to do it. >> Yes. >> Well, this is our last meeting of the year. So, if we're two weeks out, we're going to start pushing our luck to February 6th. >> Oh, I see what you're saying. >> Right. We're we're constricted for time. If you look at the calendar, it's right.
>> Yeah. So, we do it now because only in January 2 on a Monday, >> right? >> Not saying we could schedule a different day, but >> what was the deadline, Lynn? February 6th, you said. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So that >> it's
if we had to push it to the 9th, we could push it to the 9th. >> January 9th. Isn't that a Friday? >> February 9th. >> No, no, February 9th. But it'd be better to have it before February. So we >> My weekends are pretty boring, but I want to dedicate it to a town meeting.
So, why don't we um our regular schedule meetings for that month would be January 5th and January 19th. >> Well, the 19th's a holiday, right? >> Okay. >> 19th's a holiday. So, we could either go
the week after, which is the 26th. We can meet here if we want prior to the meeting and then do our stuff here, then go up to >> a special town meeting. It's a town hall meeting. >> You currently have a meeting on the 26th
for the select board meeting. >> Well, we're talking about now because we would have had one on the 19th, but the 19th is a holiday. Okay. >> So, we have to reschedu that. So, >> so are you saying Glenn, if we do our regular meeting on the 5th, we can meet with Lynn,
>> but then don't we have to we would have to schedule it the town special town meeting pretty quickly there. >> Well, we can we can schedule that now. Well, no, we have to we have to sign a warrant and all that kind of stuff. >> We'd have to draw that up. >> It's got to be drawn up. >> But we're just saying >> we got we got to commit it to a day. Now, if we commit to a day, then
>> so commit to a day and then figure out the money and where it's coming from. >> That gives us our two weeks. So, we got to kind of talk about day. We can't wait till the fifth to talk about it and then >> Right. >> Yep. >> Agreed. >> As busy as I am, I think you guys are busier than I am. So,
You want to have a town meeting on the 12th or the 20th? 20th meeting the day after Martin Luther King Day. >> Or are you going to have the special town meeting on the 26th? Kind of like Glenn said, you guys meet first and then go up to the special town meeting for 7:00.
>> That's going to be the only thing on a special town meeting. So, I think we're going to have some reserve transfers. >> What are we going to know about that? >> This is unrelated to any project. No, >> I Well, I know, but I'm saying will you have that information available if we
have a meeting on the third at the 12th? >> Um, >> you know what I mean? Like >> I would rather meet with you on the 5th. >> So meet with >> West Street Building >> Committee on the 5th. We also want to pull in finance committee. So I don't
know if you want it on one of your regularly scheduled board meetings. >> I think the fifth is a regular scheduled, >> right? You probably don't want that meeting during a regular scheduled board meeting. >> Oh, you want to have a working meeting? >> Yeah. >> Follow me.
>> So, if we did the meeting the week of the 12th, we'd have two weeks still to post almost three till February, right? >> Yeah. You'd probably have to push that special town meeting off to like the first the 2nd of February or something. >> I mean, I might be paranoid, but I'd rather post a meeting as soon as
possible rather than waiting. So, I would suggest a working meeting the week of the 5th and then special time meeting the week of the 19th, latest the week of the 26th. >> I mean, you can have it the 12th, but I don't know if we'd be done figuring out what we're doing by then. >> No,
>> you can't because you won't have the the articles have to be posted for 14 days. >> Yeah, that's right. >> And it's at least 14 days. You want to go two and a half weeks with the post. Be careful. Well, you want to >> I mean I just say we go to the 26th because that way at the at our meeting
first meeting the 5th we can assign everything and post that agree upon it. It's posted that's that's 3 weeks. >> But if we don't have you haven't talked we haven't you haven't talked to the West Street Building Committee yet. You're not going to talk to them after after the
meeting's posted. They they we still need to have the meeting. We still have to have the special town meeting that's not going away regardless of the meeting we have on them, >> right? But we won't we won't have the articles drawn up to sign on the 5th. >> Why?
>> Because you haven't talked about them yet. >> Yeah. You have to talk to the committee to understand the numbers. You have to talk to the fans committee to understand where the money's coming from. If Mark's saying there's going to be some referral from transfers. >> I Yeah, I'm pretty I mean I haven't really talked with John about it, but I
expect that there should be. So I may be wrong, but I don't need to touch basically on that. >> It's not a lot of money from our end, but >> yeah, this is I'm I'm talking about other stuff. But what I'm saying is that if on the 5th if we just schedule our
meeting for the 5th to have it with you or or with the the finance committee and the uh and that's it goes to the finance committee available as well cuz now we're speculating that they're a available. So if we did that on the 5th
on the 5th we'd have all the numbers so we could actually do it that night. >> Right. >> We have to create the articles. Right. >> Right. because we'd have the numbers at that point to create the to create the article. >> Yeah, I guess we could have I could talk to Brian about getting created except just plug and play.
>> Yeah, we won't read it out. We just have to have the number to put in there, >> right? >> So that would give us this week. >> The only other option if we go out to the 12th, they'd have to go out to the following week for the for the special town meeting.
I know >> if you sign them on the 12th. >> Well, I'm just saying. So, if we if we say the fifth, it gives us a room to, you know, if anything comes up between the 5th and 12th. If we go to the 12th and something comes up,
>> we don't have any time to correct, >> right? I would tend to agree with that. >> Just trying to give us a little leeway. So, >> that's fine, but then we need to meet with as a working we have to have a working meeting. >> All right. So, we'll do that the 5th. So that what
>> like what can we do that the fifth >> on a regular scheduled select board meeting with all the rest of the stuff that you have on your agenda? I don't think it's going to be quick enough to get everything in. >> Maybe it would be. I It's up to you guys. >> I mean all depends. I mean is there nothing that's that's major on our
agenda that night? I mean I mean we'll get through our agenda by within an hour >> unless we we don't have anything yet really. >> Unless we have hearings or something that's out of the ordinary. >> It's going to be hard hard to get people to give us much anyway. I mean, with the holidays and
stuff, there's not going to be >> Just keep in mind, you'll need to approve the warrant or you can post it, but you could also talk about the articles, approve it pending final on the F and get that posted the next day. >> Yeah.
>> Okay. Can we agree to the 5th and 26th then? >> Sounds good to me. Good. >> Were you going to read those? with that. >> So the fifth is going to be a regular select board meeting with them and then these will be
>> a select board meeting and a special town meeting. >> Correct. >> Cuz we'll cuz we'll >> we'll do the select board meeting prior to 5:30. Yeah. And then go up there for 7:00 for the special town meeting on the 26th. >> So Holly will have to post a dual
meeting with the select board and the >> west building and the finance committ. >> Yeah, finance committee and West Street building. >> And for some reason I I would say some reason the finance committee is not available that Monday, then they'd have to give us some dates that they're available and we'd have to >> Right. Because we still have we'd have that whole week to be able to talk to
them and plug the numbers in. >> Yeah. >> Good. >> Yeah. Are you good? >> You don't want to read any of that stuff? >> Would you like me to? I might put you to sleep. >> Actually, that sounds that's appealing. >> I know. >> So, no questions?

estimation form. Um, calendar year 2026, town of Graanby. This is from the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission. To whom it may concern, which I guess is us, acting under the authority contained in mass Massachusetts General Law
Chapter 138 section 17. As amended, our board at a meeting held on today um estimated that the temporary increased resident population of 6 6250
as of July 10th, 2026 will be 6,250. Assessment was made and voted upon by us at a meeting called for the purpose after due notice of each to each of the members of the time and place and purpose of said meeting and after investigation and ascertainment by us of
all the facts and after cooperation, discussion and deliberation. The estimate is true to the best of our knowledge and belief. The above statements are made under the pains of penalty and perjury. So we're sure that 6250 is our population. That's what I remember >> because otherwise I could be subject to
the pains and penalties of perjury. >> My daughter's probably not be happy because that not 6251 so she may be stuck with a baby for another. >> All right. Um it's estimated it is estimated. >> I do get that from the council.
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. No, I just >> Yeah. No, I just want to let the board know that I'm not just making it up. I get it from the temple. >> We did not think you were making it up. >> Okay. We didn't think you just come up with a random number. >> If you could, could you give me the
power ball numbers for tonight? >> Yeah, >> I already got mine. So, nice. >> All right. >> Um, so we need to make a motion. >> That was your motion. >> That was my motion. You want >> I'll second the motion.
All >> in favor? I I Okay. Approved date is today, right? >> Yes. We should have had a copy of that too. >> Okay, just >> Yeah.
>> Was it the same number as before? It didn't change. >> That was in my estimate evidently. >> Yeah. Interesting. I only say that because I know they they built new houses over the past year. So, I don't know. I don't think perjury and
pain of perjury. So, >> you got you got to feel comfort list. >> Maybe people didn't register. >> It might be at a census or >> census. Maybe they didn't send the census cards. I Who knows?
That's it. It's done. >> No additions. >> If you have, let us know. We'll just put plus one. >> I don't recall ever having done that before. Do you remember that? >> Did you do the Did you sign those in the past?
>> Did you do seasonal estimates of uh population >> for the ABC? >> No, never did it. Mark, last time you were on the board was nine years ago. Last time he was on the board, it's like 20 years ago. >> It started four years ago. I think it's because of places like the Cape, but
they have so much the way people come. >> Entertainment, too. They don't actually live there. That is >> Well, now somebody asks, I can tell them about being our estimated population is >> I think most of your population is estimated. Nothing's exact.
for cities and towns and states. Anything on this one? >> You guys want to discuss it? It's a So, next on the list is uh a possible action regarding Council on Aging Director contract and whether or not to renew. Uh the contract's expiring
in June of 2026 and you have to give 180 days notice. If you have uh intentions not to renew this particular contract, doesn't mean you can't draw up another one or come up with other um
things for the contract. But if you don't want to do this particular contract, we do have to put the COA director on notice. >> Yep. >> Any discussion or anything? No discussion. discussion
>> finish spanning. I'll be back. >> I'm almost done. >> Okay. just getting cold in here. He just turned out um think there's no discussion, no there's no thoughts, no nothing. We're
just going to move forward or it's the thought process to either continue with the current or do we want to look at this contract the contract or renegotiate contracts or cons? What do we want to
look at? No. I think in light of uh some recent complaints that we've had, we need to look at the contract and not renew at this time. In the event that we would choose to not renew it, we would have to fill the
position. >> Okay. >> Then we can leave it open for discussion. >> Well, I'm okay. I'm okay with reviewing the contract. So, if we're going to review the contract, we put on notice that we're not renewing the current contract as it stands that we're going to review it.
>> Correct. >> I don't have notice with that. >> So, if that's the case, >> you guys will need to sign that so we can send it out and certify. >> Well, let me make a motion. >> Okay. Sorry. That's fine. Well,
>> we can discuss it further if need be. I'll make a motion that we notify the current director of the counseling agent that we um at this point in time we don't look to extend the current contract.
>> Second the motion. >> All in favor? Hi. >> Hi. >> Can you Can you speak up a little bit? >> I'm sorry. >> We can't hear you. >> Okay. You want me to reread it? >> Yes. Please. The board has authorized to
um to notify the current director of a the aging and counsel on aging that we will not be um renewing their current contract at this point in time.
So >> it's the sign. >> Let me ask a question. Will this be brought up again or is this final? >> We have a responsibility to notify the individual if the board is has decided not to renew someone's contract. So, we
have to notify them. Everybody's contract's different. Some are a year. So, this 151 is 18 days. So, we have to notify that. At this time, we're not going to renew their current contract. You're up with uh sewer bills. >> Thank you.
So the uh next is on possible actions on sewer bills. There was some discussion and I think a little confusion at one point as to whether the second set of sewer bills went out for 2025. I talked to Nicole. They did go out late. They
went out in October of 25. So calendar year wise they're fine. U she was she's has has received some and she was putting any demands against tax bills that had not paid. And then the 2026 sewer bills, you know, for fiscal year
2026. One will go out in January, and then one, she said, I think January, February, and the other will go out April, May, and then she'll be caught up, and then they can um for fiscal year 27, I think she's going to adjust the times.
>> So, the second round of bills that there was some confusion that did not go out, they did go out. >> They did go out. >> They did go out. Okay. >> They went out in October. >> Oh, okay. I don't know if the turnover has been made from the from um the tax collector to the treasurer, but she said
that bills did go out. >> So, they've gone out. So, okay. >> They're out. Yep. >> All right. >> Okay. >> Uh next, um in your packets, uh we had the uh job posting for the town administrator. Uh
we had the one Kathy provided me the one that we put out earlier in the year. Uh the only things I did differently to it um was uh change that it would the letters and cover letters and resumes
would go to uh Holly at the ATA uh email address. And the only other question I had is um it said resumes and cover letters are to be accepted. I don't know you want to put until the position is filled. Do you want to put a date? Holly had a suggestion too at one
point. You know, she's seen something with until the position is filled with pre uh was it Holly? You said something like precedence given to >> preference >> preference given to by a certain date. If you want to put a date in there. So either way, it looks like on the MMA
website they get it goes like once a month. We'd have to resubmit. Um, so I don't know what you guys want to do, but if you tell us what you want to do, we can put whatever and get that posted. >> So we want to have a deadline for
resumes. >> Okay. So, if you want that then do you want to put um January 23rd by the time we're looking at um >> seems like kind of short in my opinion but I don't >> you want to go to the following >> if I Glenn do you remember we did put a deadline on it the last
>> month about a month it's about a month and you need to put a deadline because you don't have to have time to just close and move forward if not you doing interviews and people are still putting in for it >> so do you want to do >> like 23rd is technically 30 days from
today or do you want to go to um January 30th? It's Friday. >> Well, January 30th. I think it's it's a Friday and it gives us, you know, >> gives you a little over a month, especially with the holidays. >> People probably won't be chasing it down for the holidays. So, >> so when are we set for date?
>> January 30th. >> Okay. We don't get candidates, we're going to rebust. >> I'm sorry. >> If we don't get candidates, we're going to read. >> Yes. We'll just pick another I'll discuss it with you. Um, yeah, >> we should have a pretty good idea for that 20 25th meeting. I could at least
fill you in on what we've had so far and if we need to think about reposting repost, >> right? That'll give us an idea where we are at that point in time. >> Right. We should have a pretty good idea, I would assume. >> So, Holly, I'd like to ask um currently what are our programs that you're using
right now? Vadar and >> Oh, I'm sorry. That's right. our app. >> No, no, no. That's like for our programs I use upstairs for town accounting and things of that nature. >> State normally your account administrator
wouldn't even have that. >> But is it something we'd want her to have exper him or her her to have experience in? Because obviously you oversee a lot of the books. >> We should probably give uh >> so things of that nature. I think
There's the second paragraph of the application or the uh >> not the application, I'm sorry, the what we're requiring >> because you guys >> I think we should add in a little bit that >> did you have braver in last time or >> Yeah, it all changed since
>> the last time. >> We got braver. >> So I mean would we look for somebody with experience with what we have? >> Yeah. >> So we should So I think that we should put that into that second paragraph. experience. >> Experience with the programs that we
work with. Yes. >> Familiar familiarity. >> Maybe familiarity. >> I like experience. >> Oh, I'm not experience. >> I'm familiar with a lot of things. I don't have experience in some things. I mean, I know what I'm doing with it. Right. >> Todd administrator is supposed to be a
CFO, so it's they should be able to they should be familiar with it at least, right? >> Or experience. They want someone to >> All right. It's not a bu Yeah. It's not a deal breaker if they don't have experience anyway. So, >> no, I mean it's just it's just another requirement just like any other job position. >> Yeah. Yeah.
>> So, >> and then we're going to have to think about how we're going to resume. >> Um, >> so if we can just add that in or anything else you might think of and then we can just uh look at it again real quick. >> Yeah. >> So, you want to wait till till the fifth post or how do you want to you want to get this out there?
>> I would just get that out there. >> Can we can we make the corrections? have Jack look at it, email us, and then we can Can we approve it that way? Cuz we're only approving the job description. >> Correct.
>> Right. So, you just want to have the board can make a motion that there if if it is fine with the approval of uh attorney Jack Collins, but I'd also run it through our town council as well
because um and then if they're fine with it, we can authorize the acting town administrator to post it. >> All right. I would just run through Brian because we're running up a bill with Jack and >> I understand that but Jack looks at the
labor lawyer so it's just a it's an advertisement. It's not a contractor. >> No, it's I don't think it's hurt to run through them sometimes. >> Okay, >> but I get with Brian Brian sorry there but sometimes >> All right. >> Do you have this yet? >> So good. So you we can make those
modifications and we'll uh >> we're sending it to Brian. >> Send it to Brian and we're going to send it to Jack. >> Okay. Well, what we could do to Mark's point, run it through Brian. If Brian says if he has any questions, you don't think it needs to go to Jack, then don't go to Jack. >> Okay. So, we'll go through Brian. >> Agree. I can agree to that.
>> And then on the MMA, you can I usually just post so it shows up on their website, which is instant. I don't You can also pay quite a bit more, it seems like, to put it in the camp, >> which >> yeah, >> I find
most people don't wait for that. is going to be on our website. >> Yeah. Are you okay with me just posting it electronically and not >> did we did run it in local papers too though the last time they would I wouldn't put it paper I would put anything in the newspaper honestly
>> and I believe we went on de indeed last time and we have nothing but we had nothing for you >> got some interesting >> was it Indeed and a local newspaper and MMA >> I think so I think so I think and like Mark said there were some interesting ones on Indeed so I think that's just a
waste people. Yeah. Look at it just put in for >> u but I think it's it's beneficial if someone is looking at this that has the experience looking at they know the website to look at. >> Sure. >> They come up in those websites. >> Agreed. Okay. I'll agree to that. MMA.
>> Okay. >> Okay. >> So, are we doing just MMA? >> I think we put it on our own website too. Just >> I recommend to put on our own website as well. >> Yes. And I I well I think I added you to that email for the um the new website.
That guy um I sent everybody's addresses to him. I think you're on there too for um for the new website. He'll contact people who are in charge of departments because everybody will be in charge of their own page. So um you know he obviously for the people in charge of
the select board office page. So, um, he's going to reach out, >> but it won't be until after the holidays. >> Okay. Um, sorry, >> I said you have to update the population to tough like 210.
>> All right. Next, we had a letter. I think you guys all had it in your packet from the IVPO. uh a lot of rumors about regionalization of dispatch service concerns. Um their letter just basically says um
they'd like to be notified or involved when when and if you guys make any a decision on going to regional dispatch. I know we are still in the feasibility study stage. That's what you the board asked me to do last year. Um so uh that feasibility study should be back
sometime in March. Like I said, it says this is therefore we are asking to the extent possible that a summary of the findings of the feasibility study be shared with the union as soon as it is available and they would like they would also ask that you communicate your intent to the union in light of the study's findings as soon
as practically possible upon receiving them. Uh there the expectation is that the town of Graanby will provide maximum amount of time possible to the union if a decision is made to regionalize dispatch services in order to minimize the effects upon most importantly the
dispatchers but officers as well. >> So how do um I would definitely want to give everybody the most the maximum amount of time >> again. Yeah, I think they're just asking like I said there was a lot of rumors flying around. We did we we are >> in the middle of the feasibility study. I guess you'd say middle if if even that
far. Um they're supposed to be reviewing stuff. They did some interviews. Um and then uh the study will come back and we can go over it. >> Good. Yeah. I mean I don't have any problem with having the union in the
loop with >> Oh, no. And I told them I didn't think that would be an issue. I think the uh the issue becomes the rumors, you know, and I've put out a couple memos to try to tell people where we're at. We're not really anywhere, you know. >> Yep. >> But then they go to a training or
something and next thing you hear, hey, you guys are coming to us. >> Yeah. >> It's like, uh, no, no decisions been made. >> Yeah. >> There's And even if even at Yeah. There's a lot of decisions. Even if it was feasible, there's still a lot of decisions that are involved in going forward. >> Of course.
>> Of course. So, >> okay. >> Next, departmental reports. I know there was some confusion. They didn't the packets didn't get out as soon as >> Yeah. >> Um I don't know if you want to table that. >> Table that.
>> Yeah. I think I need I read a few of them, but I didn't get through all of table that. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um same with minutes or not? >> Same with the minutes. >> Same with the minutes. >> Come out today. So, we'll table those to our our next meeting. Kevin, did you have a any report you wanted to give or is that just on there?
>> I think that's just on there. I kind of think we've been kind of going along. Like I said, the biggest thing was the the sewer and the uh >> How about warrants? >> Warrants. I believe Glenn has them. >> There we go. >> Yeah, warrants. We're done. >> Okay, that was
you. You've been looking forward to this all night. >> Yeah, >> there's not that many of them actually. >> What? >> Fine. Item three, you skip over that purpose. >> Uh, oops. >> Nope, we did not. Well, we did not do it
on purpose. No. >> Sorry, Dakota. I got screwed up with the um >> Yeah, >> the answer to the question is yes. >> All right, let's let's pop up to that before we do the warrant. Sorry to keep you uh all night. I know it was exciting, but um >> do you want to come up with a property
tax work off or to send me I don't even I don't know the details on that at all personally. I'm not sure exactly where that was either. I know that there was a >> select board last year adopted. >> Can you come up Dakota? Come out, please. You know, when he got here, it
was bright back there. It's been here so long it got dark back. >> The select board tax work program last year. Um, >> did Kathy give that to you? >> All the way up. You don't mind. Some people want you in the front row. So, thank you.
Did she give you a copy of that or no? >> No, I don't have >> I don't have it with me either. I assume give it to you. I'm sure she said that today. >> It's online. It's online. >> Right. So that's that's with the seniors, right? Was the work the work off
>> amount of dollars they towards your taxes. >> Yes. >> They worked in that for a couple years. Chris and Yeah. >> So the actual committee or group or whatever hasn't been adopted though. So that they adopted the
policy, if you will, but the people overseeing the essential workout program more uh whether it be approving or denying, >> right? >> It hasn't been set. Okay. >> We have an application. That's the only reason why I bring it up. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. I did talk to Kathy about this
today >> um in the stairway. Was one of those days. And uh I didn't What the heck? Stop bothering me. Um the um yeah, there's some questions
whether we appointed a committee or we appointed a person. If you appoint a committee that's there's like public records issues and you know because it's a potentially um sensitive subject for people asking. >> It's all confidential. Yeah. >> Yeah. So, um, but that's as far as do we
have a deadline or any >> we're past the deadline for applications. >> Okay. We have an application that needs to be handled, >> right? >> Um, >> do you guys know anything about this? Cuz I >> Well, I remember it from last year and we approved it. >> Yeah.
>> I don't Was it earlier this year or was it actually last year at this time? >> It was before March, I think. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So it might it could have been like February somewhere in there. I do I seem to recall it more recently than not.
>> Okay. But nobody knows anything. >> Well, we didn't to his to his point. We didn't really appoint a council. >> Okay. >> To oversee it. >> So is there a group? Do you have people currently >> have a PDF now? No. No, I don't have a group, but it states in what you adopted
who's on it. There's only one appointed member that's not like a department head. >> Okay. Yeah. Um, >> agent director, veteran services officers, member of the board of assessors, town administrator, and a member at large appointed by the select
board. >> So, we have an atlarge member. >> Okay. >> Right. The fifth member is who we appoint. Will the VSO come? >> Because we don't have We no longer have
a >> We have to call him. >> We have a contract. >> Yeah, we have the regional, >> but he'll come up. All right. Um, somebody needs to appoint an atlarge member. Got any nominations? >> I don't even know who we begin to put.
>> I don't know if this is Do you have any suggestions? >> I'll do it. >> Do it. >> Good. in addition to a member of the select board. Perfect. >> Oh, there's already a member of the select. >> All right. I could be the member of the select board. Um, >> whoa, whoa, wait. What type of member?
>> Sorry. No, no. >> Even rock, paper, scissors. What do you want there? >> Council on a director and veteran services officer. >> So, select no one from the select boards on. >> Okay. Okay. So, >> did you say TA and assistant TA? >> No, just TA. >> Just TA. Okay. >> I just don't know if we adopted this
already. says consider if we need to read something else. That's what it is. >> Mark, I appreciate you want to be part of it. >> I don't know if you should be part of it though. >> Um I just >> because you sit on the select board. So >> I don't really I'm not being ambitious. I'm just trying
to fill the position. >> No, no, no, no. I I get that. So I don't know if you want to be part of as especially with being on the select portion because now you're making decisions based on whether or not someone's going to get to pay taxes or not pay taxes. >> It's a portion. portion. >> It is a portion but
>> that's not being a portion of tax. They might they might better just a person public. So I figured that makes sense that doesn't have any doesn't have any >> I think the best thing to do is appoint someone who doesn't have any ties to the town. >> I would agree as far as >> it depends on the town. I think >> just to avoid any problems with
favoritism or >> then we're going to have to we're going to have to put it on the agenda for the next time so we're not going to have any >> um so >> I guess my other recommendation would be if we're not appointing a committee and it's a group or something different we may need to amend the currently adopted
regulation. >> Do you want to talk to Kathy tomorrow? >> Yeah. >> Yep. >> All right. We'll get the >> I like having a group. It's been a while since we did that. So I don't >> I like I like having a group not just one person to make a decision whether or not >> I agree a group a group is better. You
can't have one person make a decision on somebody that's going to get a tax break or not because again it's >> right and somebody has to follow up to make sure they did whatever it's supposed to do as well. >> So a smaller group is better. >> Um okay so we're going to put on the agenda for January 5th and then we'll
>> Merry Christmas. >> Merry Christmas. Sorry about the wait. >> No worries. No, he likes he lives here half the time anyway. >> I'm always hanging out around here. >> I'm going to miss Meline. I was I'm going to miss Meline. >> I know. I'm going to sit in the room. >> She goes, "You'll be better."
>> She liked you. She said, "I like to code." She was rather not like us. >> Yeah. >> Good night. >> Good night. >> All right. We do have an appointment here. Janice Mardle. >> Nice seeing you. >> Merry Christmas. >> Merry Christmas. >> Brian. Brian. Brian.

them though at one point. >> Me, too. Cuz actually was recommended. >> We've done it both ways. >> Everyone has they could possibly have questions. >> Yeah. >> They had infractions. Well, Lynn does that at times meeting with >> But I think to your point, we've done
that before. Didn't I think it was recommended at one point to read them all? >> So, that I I think it was recommended by someone to read them all. >> It's a waste waste of time. >> Nowadays, people
>> Yeah. I mean, I the one that drove me nuts was approving rentals of Drains Pavilion. >> Well, we don't really approve them. They just that's just information. >> That's just notification to us. Take care. >> All right. Thanks, Brian. >> By the way, this was fun, man. You do this again.
>> I could tell you were having fun. You're having more fun than I am. I got to say, but >> back to just tell you, you know, come May that there'll be an open seat. So, >> how ambitious are you? >> It's been nine years. >> Mom, Dad, come on. Let's go.
K, you're missing some good B-roll there, you know. >> Yes. >> All right. Um, we got to appoint Janice Mardle to the uh um Grand Cultural Council and we got the warrants and we're done, I think. Um, do you want to
make a motion? I'll make a motion that we approve Janice Mardo. >> Micardo, thank you. At 56 Border Street uh to the Graham Culture Council. >> I'll second the motion.
