what's included in the file. Do you have it in yours? No, I don't. I was just curious to see who um Oh, wait a minute. Yes, we do. Jody Goyette. Yep. Robert E. Cole, David Masio, and uh Rob Piterelli,
and James Walsh. That's what I have. Uh wasn't there, uh I got an I got an email from uh from Tam Mcsher said there was one more. Uh do you recall? It's uh was a lady an
attorney from uh Ryder's Way. I didn't see it. Uh did she sign? It's not in our I don't know if she The attorney from Ryder's Way is Joey Buya, I believe. Oh, okay. So, it's in here. Oh, because of the one where it says 14
RERS's way. Yeah, probably that one. That might be the one. Okay. Thanks, Daniel. Oh, yeah. I'm an attorney with experience in municipal law as well as others. Well, uh I guess according to
the mask bylaws, uh the four members of this board will meet with the three members of the uh board of selectmen and uh review the uh the applications and uh we vote as a seven
member board on uh who we select for our our fifth member. So, interviews will be that night too. Uh I don't know the exact how many response that came back from it, but uh I I understand that those are the ones
we're going with. I I think there was one too that she had made mention that uh there was an uh application put in I think the last time was for the uh zoning board of appeals and uh the person it was a a lady never responded
to an email or phone call or whatever. I I'm not sure if it's uh one of these that are included but uh in our packet but uh I do I do know they ran into that. So, I guess uh well, you can do that if if it's the pleasure of the
board and you'd like to go through them now and and just, you know, read them out loud. And there isn't much on. There really isn't. Well, it would just be nice to have, you know, the ability to interview and not just blindly. Well, I do think they're going to be
called in. I understood it to be uh to be an interview on the uh on the 7th. Yeah, it's that's the way they've always done it. Well, that's the way it reads, too. Interviews to be held. So, that's when we're interviewing. Yeah. And it'll be at our meeting on the 7th. Correct.
Okay. Awesome. I'm glad to see the interest. That's good. Anybody like to go through them now or would you rather just wait until the meeting? the joint meeting with the board of selectment. I think it's easier to have them here
and they can explain anything and and there's so little Yeah, really on the talent form. I agree. There's almost nothing to go without having somebody get in front of you. [Applause]
All right. Well, then we'll do that. We'll uh we'll go through them during the uh interview process uh with the uh joint meeting with the board of selectmen on the uh 7th uh 20125. All right. Next thing I have is the
meeting minutes. Uh I know we put it off last week to give people some more opportunity to uh go through. I have the first one. This is uh Thursday, May 1st, 2025.
Uh does anybody have any changes, deletions, corrections? Which one was that? I'm sorry. The first one we're going to do is uh May 1st. Okay. That's the one that I said you can't put in there what you think I was going to say. You can't. So truth begins
in apology. That's that's not what was happening. It's taken out of context and there's a lot missing. If you're going to put part of the conversation in there, where's the where you know you three were yelling, "Yeah, say it. Say it. Say it." Where's all that? So if you're going to
itemize something and you're not going to itemize all of it, then you're telling a story, only part of a story. So those minutes only reflect part of a story. And I'd say that it looks like you're trying to frame me as looking like
something and leaving out all the parts where you bad me off of the agenda. If you're going to itemize and write all of this down, you can't leave certain sections of what people say out because
that's leaving things out is a lie. Well, I do know just a couple uh lines further down. 1 2 3 4 five. It said uh she was referencing and not not quoting, but she was referencing as what minutes
are. Truth states that Mary, his wife, and herself have talked about this before. Mary states that he was surprised that she recently apologized for that accusation because then all of a sudden they were being accused of selling out
the town. No. And so that's not true. It's not true. Well, what is the uh pleasure of the board? Uh I mean I I mean we've had this discussion before as far as minutes. minutes are just that the they aren't
word for word. They're not a transcript. They're uh they're they're an outline. Uh obviously uh Amy has some problems with the fact that uh uh as the minutes are presented, what what else? What do you
guys feel? Amy has stated her how she feels about it. I wasn't at the meeting. Oh, that's right. Wasn't on the board. I don't have a problem with them. I mean, they're not verbatim. You can't put in what you think I was going to say because nobody knows what
was in my head and there's a lot of things missing and it was off the agenda and so I would be very careful. Well, is that a threat? No, I'm just saying I'd be very careful about the way it's written. Like a There's a lot You mean like how you threatened me that night with trying to
take me to court? Yes. That's not in there. What was it going to take you to court for this time? I'm sure there was plenty of reasons, but in particular, you had one particular thing. I don't know. You're the one who said,
"Were you accused?" I did not accuse. Yeah, you did. No, I didn't. By gesture and everything else, you looked at us. Then I guess somebody thinks that but it doesn't mean you you're assuming that I meant
if you were looking for a motion to approve the minutes as written. I'll make that motion and then you can vote on it any way you want. Okay. There's a motion on the floor to accept the minutes of uh May 1st, 2025 as presented. Do I have a second? Voting
on this by the way is Tom Millius, Bert Gainner, and Amy Troop. seeing that Bruce uh uh wasn't a member at the time. So uh is there a second on the motion? I'll second the motion. So there's a
motion on the floor to accept the minutes of Thursday, May 1st, 2025 as presented. I'll call for a a voice vote. Amy, no. Myself, yes. And Tom, yes. It passes. Uh two to one.
Okay, we can move on to the minutes of June 5th, 2025. Do I have any objections? Complet changes completions.
I didn't print them. And voting on this one would be also be Oh, yeah. We're a member at this time. Okay. So it's uh the full four complement of the board for tonight.
Any changes, deletions or corrections uh for the minutes the minute meetings for Thursday, June 5th, 2025? Okay. Seeing that there isn't any, uh I'll accept a motion to accept the minutes as presented. A
motion. And do I have a second? Is this a motion and a second to accept the minutes as presented for Thursday, June 5th, 2025? Again, I'll ask for a voice vote. Bruce, yes. Tom, yes. Myself, yes. Amy, yep. I'm sorry.

zoning bylaw review committee? Hold on a second. That we're on their last agenda as being on the next agenda. So I thought maybe we could find out when that was. You could ask Danielle if she's been
notified. Danielle, I'm sorry. Not this zoning bylaw review. The government study. You know what I meant? Sorry, what was the question? Government study. Do you know when the next meeting is where we're on the agenda?
