[snorts] Good evening and welcome to the [clears throat] December 22nd, 2025 meeting of the Hampton Select Board and Board of Health. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the
republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. This meeting is being held in the large meeting room at the Hampton Town Hall, 85 Warham Road. We are broadcasting the
meeting over Zoom plus recording it. Is there anyone else recording the meeting? >> I did not see Kristen. >> I'm not sure why we're having a meeting then. Kristen's not online. Don, >> are we recording? We're recording, right? >> We're recording. >> I know, right?
Right. Well, we'll muddle on anyhow. Any minutes? Okay. First thing on our agenda is a discussion with the library trustees and we have in front of us the chair of the trustees. Are you chair?
>> I think Jean Hall might be because we keep switching. So, library trustee Kathy Hutcherson. >> Hello there, Kathy. >> Hi. Um, first of all, I'd just like to acknowledge um the work that Ellen and
Kate have done to prepare our library. Someone mentioned that. Wow, this is great. And they did it all in one week. Ellen has been working since August, scraping contact paper off windows and and I
[snorts] just want to publicly acknowledge they she and Kate too have gone above and beyond and doing things that you know other people might just say that's not part of my job. So anyway, >> I would say you're quickly I would say
you're correct. We've seen them in there quite a bit. I know Herb has worked closely with Ellen and Kate in helping getting the rug done, prepping. I know Brian is working closely with them on the upcoming HVAC installation as well. So, it's a good team effort by everybody
here. >> It is. Um, a few concerns since we've opened. Um, one of the things we're open on Thursday nights and the lighting, a few of our patrons have complained about the lighting in the parking lot. I don't
know about our entrance if those two lights are at the maximum wattage, they could be if they could be improved. >> I know that to put lighting all over the parking lot is an expense, but I don't
know if there's some temporary solution. There is an outlet there. Maybe some kind of spotlight that we could put out >> on Thursday night just to shine on the parking lot, you know, especially this
time of year with ice and um things like that. So, if that could be looked into, if there's something that can be done to provide a little more light from the, you know, they'll park, I'm sure most of the patrons will park right near the
library entrance, >> but if there's just something [clears throat] that can provide a little more light from their car to the library entrance would be, >> right, >> a really good thing. probably best to do a give and take per thing as you bring
them up. It is something we're looking at. For instance, we're concerned about the lighting around where the flag pole is, you know, there. So, we're looking at installations there. I know that both Brian and Herb have talked about what can be done in terms of outdoor
spotlighting, not just at the library, but down here, what we call the handicapped entrance, if you will, >> right? Because if we do have anyone that needs to use the [clears throat] ramp, then they have to go through, you know, that way to get to the library on a
Thursday night. They have to go to the ramp and then down the sidewalk. So, >> okay. >> So, just if there's, you know, something temporary that we can do and not put it off for months. >> Well, nobody's put it off so far. I mean, again, these things have just
>> permanent solution. Well, I think we can look at I know that I think right now Herb and Brian have already reached out to someone. >> Okay. >> You know, because we when we tried to get more information about what your concerns were and you did share a little more. >> Yes. >> So, we're looking at that. We'll make it
>> I think this is not going to be like >> wiring the entire town hall. >> Oh, no. >> Installing a couple spotlights, perhaps a timer. I'm not really sure in my mind that motion sensor would be the way to go. I don't I don't like that because either it's not triggered or it is
triggered too much. And I think probably a timer light system would be the way to go. I'm not sure about a switch because when you all close up, you have enough to do and [clears throat] you don't want to flip that switch off as you leave because then your path out
isn't illuminated, right? >> So, that's not a good thing. >> But keep in mind, we're on top of that. >> Okay. Thank you. And the bathroom situation. Um, several moms and dads, I guess, too. Uh, we need the diaper
changing station. There was one, maybe even two at the town hall. I don't know if they can be um >> moved, >> moved. >> But that being said, we need the larger
bathroom, at least one of them, open um first of all for ADA compliance. that both of those larger bathrooms have the handicap stalls and these two little ones don't. You know, I don't think know
that a wheelchair would be able to get around there. One of the toilets is really low. So, that's something that we really need to happen soon. um getting the maybe just the girls' room unlocked and even if um
there's certain stalls that you don't want used, we can call it a family bathroom. So, you know, you know, anyone can use it. Well, obviously it was a concern here and you were in the meetings before, same thing
that perhaps we need to consolidate the use of the restroom facilities that we had many more facilities than we had personnel in here at the time or going forward. This is something but it's evolving just like you're bringing it forward. Hey, at
certain times we need more facilities than during regular times. Well, not at certain times. We need that diaper changing >> all the time. >> All the time. >> I understand that. But >> handicap, you never know when's going to
need that bathroom. So, it really has to be open whenever the library is open. >> Well, there are hand other handicap bathrooms available here. It might be a little farther away, but there are other air. Okay. Again, this is a growing process here. Herb, the two smaller ones
are not ADA. >> I would I I would assume they are because we used them for the school district, >> right? And I didn't think I didn't think there were any that weren't in compliance at that point. Right. >> They're in compliance of the ADA. It's a single bathroom.
>> It's a one toilet, single bathroom. >> Um >> wide enough for a wheelchair. >> I'm not sure if there's handrails though. >> Uh no handrails. I looked at them today. >> Then then the I don't think the answer to that is probably not. So, >> okay. Again, again, the same thing. This
is great that you're bringing it forward >> and it's something that between Herb and Brian on a daily basis, they'll look at addressing it. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Um the other things are just um kind of for your information and that we
need to be kept in the loop. You mentioned the HVAC. We really need to know like when they're coming ahead of time so that if the library needs to close for a day or two, you know, anything like that just to keep Ellen in
the loop. um the lighting in the library, you know, as here. There's some that are out different just to know what the plan is to I know Herb has done some work on some of the lights that they
were flickering and that wasn't good. Someone said, "Oh my gosh, this is giving me a migraine." you know, so that was addressed and um we just want to make sure that we know what to expect and you know if some of the light bulbs
can be uniform but um it is um just something to keep the library informed that um this is what's going on with the lights. Well, I would think with the HVAC again, that's going to be a contract that will be, you know, once we get that quote and we figure out what
we're doing, >> you'll know about that. On terms of the lights and changing lights and stuff like that, that would be a simple facilities thing that >> just I understand that, but again, it doesn't come to us. We're not
>> I was just in the library. I changed all the light bulbs in the library. All the light bulbs does not there's two bulbs. There's two pictures out which Matt Lovely >> was in there the other day. We I bring Matt through. We're going to need some balls. I did talk to Ellen about it. >> Yes.
>> So, she's well aware of it. >> Um, and the communication too. When you speak communication, just all you got to do is send me an email and then I can address whatever. Okay. Because some of the stuff you're talking about, I don't even know what you're talking about. I think overall we
just want to know what the plan is too for the future for the lighting because we were under the impression that at some point it was going to all be >> future. Well, at some point we're going we are >> like to do an upgrade. I'll do a lighting upgrade in the future. Yes.
>> Okay. >> Yeah. >> And um let's see two more things. Um [clears throat and cough] he's Ellen had um and these kind of go together. the um you know the code um [clears throat] for the library doors,
but each one has a different key. And if she has keys made for everybody for every door, it's like 40 keys and is that something we need to do or just a little direction on that because that
would be an expense and uh >> well I guess I'm confused. So, you have electronic locks for some of your doors? >> Yes. Yes. And those we provided those or >> the library? I don't know who's paying
for those. >> Okay. So, you've got electronic locks for the doors. Why didn't >> And they also have a key to >> Well, why didn't you order them so they all had the same key? I mean >> that sounds like something would have
been good if you >> John they won't give you the same key for them that kind of lock the same situation here but there's no way you need a key >> to get in that if you have the code >> if you have the code >> the only reason the key is there
>> for an admin or myself matter >> fact she hasn't given the keys she they should >> she just has one so she didn't know >> right so you could probably go make up another one so We have it in the box which I asked her for. >> Yeah. >> And that's just for the emergency
personnel. So in other words, we're not giving that out to the fire department, the police department. They'll have a box they can go. >> So they're in the knock box normally for those things. >> So you think just one more key? >> Yeah. To be >> because the only one that should have that if you start handing out keys them
locks are no good. >> Keys are key to the >> Well, how does uh Sarah get in now? She has the code for the button to get in. Who does the custodial in the library? >> She has a code for it. >> That's what I'm saying. >> So, you have the code. She has the code.
Ryan has the code. >> Anybody that needs a code on >> Ryan? >> Yes. >> Well, he doesn't have a code for it, but you know, I mean, he >> But he will. But he will. >> Yes, he will. >> Right. >> It's just getting settled in. >> Kathy. >> So, one more key,
>> right? But I'm saying sorry, Brian. They'll email him the codes tomorrow. >> Yeah, I think it's just the same code all four. >> Whatever. I'm just saying. I mean, he >> and that kind of going along with that um is the this is the last thing. Sorry,
no rush. the um fire code and the and there are certain doors that [clears throat] lead out to, you know, um the the other halls like if we're securing the library and um we don't
know if there's some doors that we can bolt or if that breaks the fire code. and we didn't know that now that we're all moved in here. Is the fire chief going to come through and you know give
us an emergency exit plan or talk about it? Actually, >> now that there's other doors that >> I will I will let me cut in here. I did talk to Brian about that last week that we need to put on the schedule shortly a fire drill put out just like in my
office like in the like in the schools. You have a map on the wall. Here's the approved exit path. The same thing and Brian, I think, is putting that in the plan for scheduling. Probably not this month because so much is going on, >> but definitely in January.
>> Okay. So, I will let Ellen know to keep her in the loop when that cuz she might have some I know she'll have some questions for him. Oh, sure. >> About what doors. >> Well, we'll definitely get the we'll definitely have the fire department involved in that. But again, it'll be a
probably Brian, do you think maybe even during a staff meeting when Michael might do it? Would it be ready for January? I think >> uh no, not early January. And it's going to be quite an individual thing. There's a lot of a lot of rooms here. In terms of securing the library, I I mean, in
terms of egress, I don't I don't think you would have any doors that would be that would not let people out. Is that what we're talking about? out of the library space. >> Out of the I think she was talking about
when we lock up the library and there are some doors like that are like from other halls >> that you know there's a master key that anyone could get into the library then through those doors
>> and if they if they can be bolted or not. >> Okay. >> So I don't know. I'm no so I'm I'm really >> so I'm No, I'm not understanding >> get into the library. >> I I can think of a situation where >> So you will you want to bolt the library
door so nobody can get in? >> No, no, no. >> Just a couple. Just a couple that she's wondering about. >> No, that that would you be you'd be breaking codes. >> Well, that's answer your question about the fire department. The fire department has been
through a building. Okay. They okayed everything. Um that so that's why you're in the building because I had before you guys came in the buildings. >> Um so the fire department has walked through the buildings. The building department has walked through the buildings.
>> So everything up to all our fire extinguishers, >> fire doors like that. Now, Ben, I just, if you don't mind, I just thought all these doors now are going to be hooked to the fire department fire alarm system. When I when we did the wiring, I took it one
extra step. So, if there's a fire alarm, it ever goes off, them doors automatically unlock so people can get out. >> So, yeah. >> Okay, that's >> And that was something I didn't have to do, but we did that. Me and Brian talked about that. We were hooked that we're
going to hook that up to the fire panel. So, we have that option. Mhm. >> You want to make sure by adding these doors in that everybody, whoever was in the building for any reason could exit out of them doors. >> Okay. >> I'll just let >> Can I circle back?
>> Circle back to the bolted thing. >> No, it [clears throat] was just a question. >> Oh, no. I just didn't understand why we'd have any doors bolted. That's That wouldn't open to Herb or Brian if that was what I >> I'm happy to talk about it offline, too. If there's if there's a specific door,
we can we can we can talk about it. Okay. >> And I'll um let Ellen know that. And um I think main thing the lighting outside. >> Yes. >> Bathrooms. >> Mhm. >> Being accessible to everyone and the
changing table and then just keeping us in the loop. >> Well, let me share something else with you then. One thing that we've already gone ahead and started the process on is looking at the sidewalks and installing ramps in the other two entrances so they don't
have to get at the entrance and go down the sidewalk. >> Herb has already reached out to see if we can get them modified at the other two entrances already. >> Nice. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And on the cost amendment, I made it very clear to the contractor that we wanted to start with the library,
>> right? Again, >> we appreciate that. Yeah. >> I think we need to have people come up and down. >> You know, even the the strollers and the carriages and you know, we have a big crew in here on Monday mornings, >> right?
>> Um and uh I know that people will appreciate a place to change the babies that need to be changed. Yep. >> And not on the floor somewhere. [laughter] >> Okay. Now, I need you to go over everything again. Hi Kathy. [laughter]
>> Okay, we're done Kathy. >> No, no, I know you probably ran into traffic. >> No, it was just um >> I think it went very well. I think she shared quite a bit and we told her our plans as well. I think we're really at
the right place. >> We are in the right place. >> We think so. [clears throat] >> I like it here. >> Yes. >> Good. [snorts] Good. Good. and I can catch you up on what we just did and >> and I thank you and >> thank you. >> Happy holiday.
>> Just drop the picture back off and we'll all be happy. >> Know that I'll tell Kathy that. >> Thank you. >> Good to see you. Thank you. >> Ongoing. Any feedback? Please. >> Right. Please email. >> It's much much faster. Just
>> stuff light bulb changes. Something's not working. Oh, it's not aren't working. >> Oh, great. He's been wonderful. He has helped me immensely. >> Mhm. >> I did the whole thing. >> Yeah. It must be It might be most quicker just to let and just blind copy
or copy us on the email and so we're in the loop, but you're getting quicker response by going directly to Brian and Herb. >> Okay. Right. >> Okay. Good to know. >> We'll come to them for the money when we don't have it. >> Yeah. Well, I'm not even joking. >> They're doubling the fines. It's fine.
Yeah. having any meetings that you have. If you need something answered, whatever, reach out to me. >> Thank you. >> Quickly, I mean, Brian, do you have a quick update? What's the status on the HVAC right now? You're still >> asking the wrong guy asking the wrong guy in the room. >> You're still exploring the options and
>> Okay. So, it's not like Don't worry, it won't be happening in in January. >> We actually come in last week and look at it. >> Okay. >> Um, so we're we're out there pursuing that >> as we speak. >> Yeah. Um, so I'm trying to get him off
on the off season not working. >> Fortunately, these guys are pretty busy. So, [laughter] >> great. >> Okay. Thank you. I'm gonna go >> out. This is back in time. Remember back in

dealer licenses. >> Yeah, >> just email you typed out. >> Oh, she does not have them typed out right now signed. So they don't have to be signed at a later date. >> All right. >> We also have the general certification, renewal certification as well.
All right. So you all have a list of the entertainment licenses. So pardon me, we have four weekly entertainment licenses and we have the one Sunday license that we've held in the past.
This is well just the weekly ones. We have a renewals for Lacina, Lacabella, great horse and park and wreck for the weekly Monday through Saturday entertainment license which has been
typically and I would entertain a motion to renew them with the same information as last year i.e. operating hours. So move second. >> Okay. >> All in favor? All right. All right. The Sunday one. And Don, you recall this is typically one that sometimes we have to
like make sure >> the operating hours are the way we've always agreed to. >> Sometimes the application comes in and it seems like it's just not >> Yeah. The even generic well Sunday to Saturday 12 to >> Right. And we've always we've always gone back and >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. So I didn't I can't recall what it is, but I think it ends either 9 or 10 and that was it. >> We've always issued just a Sunday permit. >> They have to just Sunday only. It has to be with a recommendation by the police chief as well, but I would entertain a motion to approve the Sunday request
with the same operating hours as last year. >> It was 12 to 8:00 p.m. >> Right. Exactly. >> For Sunday. >> So move. >> Second. >> All in favor? I. And again, note for the record that we did receive a positive endorsement from the police department
that there were no issues with any of the entertainment applicants in the past year. Okay. So, used car dealer licenses. We have two 13. >> Yeah. The applications are here if you want.
>> Right. Um, of which we have received the paper proper paperwork for 10 of them. We're still missing uh Corby's, Hannah Auto Body, and Northeast Automotive. However, I entertain a motion to approve the used car dealer licenses for these
13 people for our auto sales, Corby's Auto Sales, Hampton Auto Body, DJ's Automotive, A Toz Auto Sales, Hampton Trading, Rene Motorsports, Fox Motorsports, FC Auto Sales, Max Auto Sales, Safe Auto Sales, Northeast
Automotive, and Big Day Powersports. You recall Big D. Big Day was just here a few months ago. Motorcycles. Exactly. subject to all proper bond information, application, fees, and positive uh reviews. >> I moved.
>> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> And again, the same thing. Uh we have a couple of I would say repeat offenders, but there are some we seem to have to chase them every year for the paperwork. >> Yes, Lauren is Lauren was chasing and is
chasing. >> Wish the best for Lauren as well. We do have the uh so Brian the seasonal population increase estimation form. >> Yes. Um that's due in February. So Lauren said we could >> we could wait on that next time. Yeah. >> Fine.
>> To predict the population. >> Yes. I suspect it should probably be the same >> after you hit power ball with your prediction tonight. Don. >> Well, I got to stop and get >> They're wondering. You need [clears throat] us to turn early so you can get there while they're still good.
I got to get the ticket. >> They're looking for our seasonal. >> What if you don't play [snorts] >> so that we could change our >> I got time. >> Depends on the chief. >> Town will get one. We can take care of the fire. >> That's
it. >> I appreciate that. >> Okay. [clears throat] All right. So, done with the license. No, we have in front of us the chief of police. Dan, >> respendant in that uniform.
>> Oh, thank you. >> Sure. >> So, you'd like to chat with us? Come on up. >> I have good news and that's everything I want to chat with. >> You found about tonight. >> You found free cruisers. >> Zero cost chat. So, um,
>> they're free. I mean, cruisers are free. >> I only bought three. I didn't mean to slight. >> That's fine. I guess >> I emailed you. Did you get that attachment? I got the hatch for about [clears throat] Okay, good. Uh yeah, a
few things I want to talk uh briefly tonight. Uh first and foremost, we just conducted our toy drive at Mson Savings Bank. [snorts] It was pretty big successes here. We had Santa Claus there again, and that worked out pretty well. We ended up filling our uh conference room at the police department by the end
of the week. We're we're pretty well over over stuffed there, which was a nice problem to have. Officer Jake worked pretty hard on that today. Officer Kane helped out with that. And as of today, I think everything has been distributed.
And what we did was we prioritized obviously need in town first. So we reach out to the elementary school first. We tried to identify some families in need, foster families in town. Um, we gave some some coats and some things that we got through a veterans
organization to Becky at COA. >> I believe we also delivered coats today to turn out and I think we gave them a sort of a stockpile to keep on hand for the next couple of months. So, anybody in need over there can get a pretty
decent winter coat. And then the last of the bulk of things today went to a contact that we had with um Center for Human Development. So, and that's somebody we've we've given to in the past. So, they identify families in needs. But we prioritize town need first
as best we can >> and then the rest goes to other families in need. Greater Springfield typically. Um but that was all done today. We want to get it done by today or tomorrow at the latest. >> So, that was finished up today. Officer Jake's finished that. Um, next big item.
So, I gave you in the packet there, um, there's a memorandum of understanding that Chief Lennon from Wilham Police Department and I have signed and this is in regards to the co-response clinician program. So, Chief Trombly had worked on this earlier.
It sort of lost some traction. There was an agreement. They they tried to start this with the BHN group to get somebody to staff this. Whatever reason that sort of fell through. >> So then we reached out to CHD Center for Human Development.
>> Um happy to say that Chief Lennon and I interviewed a candidate this week. Um we we all thought that this was a very good candidate. So this is an employee already of CHD and this is sort of a a
step or a promotion for this person to get this position. Uh so that co-response clinician is someone who is going to be available to respond for people in crisis mental health crisis can also touch on alcohol and drug dependency type issues um issues in the
home things like that. Good news on all of this is this is completely funded with a grant and it's the type of recurring grant that doesn't, you know, run out. It doesn't it isn't something that we should run up against any year saying, "Oh, well, now we need to find funding." >> Well, I do see at the bottom it does say
that you'll provide quarterly payment in timely matters. So, we're paying for what exactly? >> So, we So, the grants >> No, what are we paying for? What what's so his he comes in provides a service and we pay that time. So it's uh this
person is an employee of center Milman. >> Okay. They will have a contract with Hammond Wilberham and they will respond to both communities. So the plan is to have so Chief Lennon is working on an office space in his
police department for this person. We actually had to add a door and some privacy shades, things like that. Um we're fortunate we've got a space identified um a small interview room that we can use that's sort of like a private office space >> for this person when they want to come
to Hannah. We're still working out the the fine details about um will she spend more time in Wilberham or Hammond or just as need arises. I envision some set office hours in Hen at our police facility. Um, this person
will have a radio provided by the uh the radio emergency radio communication center. So, no cost there essentially because the radio is already in place. That's provided to to this person. Um, they use their own vehicle if they're
going to respond or do follow-up calls and that's all handled through CHD. We don't have to worry about that. >> All right. I'm So, go back to the beginning only because >> Sure. What exactly is their job? You're saying you're saying that oh my gosh
they're responding to or you're aware of Joey Jones at ex Allen Street >> Sure. is having a problem and this person is going to come out and meet with them in your police station or what >> we respond I mean sometimes it starts as
a medical call sometimes it starts as a police call it could be just a person in crisis typically mental health crisis >> struggling with [clears throat] something um in a lot of cases we respond as the police we might send EMS
[clears throat] and quite frankly you know the only course of action may be to get them to the hospital to try to from the clinician. >> This clinician, this co-response person is really helpful on the follow-up side of things. So, in the days afterwards, if the person has left the hospital or
can't get the services in place that they need, this clinician helps get those services in place. >> Okay. >> In my previous community, we had a co-response clinician. So, Long Meadow East Long Meadow shared a person as well. Same thing, funded and staffed by
CHD and it was very helpful in those cases. even sometimes alcohol, drug dependency issues where you know we handle that emergency piece of it. >> But what falls through the cracks is the followup and how do we get these people the real help that they need on and
after and then maybe get them identified and into a program that can help them. Maybe it's a 30-day program somewhere, maybe it's counseling, maybe it's um some other assistance that they need. even in some cases where it's a continued problem in the community with
a person who's maybe is a problem for their neighbor. Um, disorderly conduct type stuff and we've worked with say the probation department in the past instead of putting this person in jail for 3 days which does nothing to help them, >> right? >> Instead, we get them additional
assistance and this clinician helps provide that. They're really good at the follow-up piece >> and the police and EMS and the fire department. we don't always have time for that part of it. So, that's where they step in. They're also available to respond directly to people in crisis at
the time. Um, in many cases, they will respond right out. That's why they have a radio. So, even if the Hampton police go to someone in crisis in town, if she is working and is in Warham, we simply call her on the radio and she'll respond
in her own vehicle and meet us at the scene, which is kind of nice. All right. So, just to be clarify and I see something here about this as you said this is a grant program from the state. Yes. >> And this program will exist only as long
as the grant is funded by the state. >> Correct. That's how Chief Lennon described it. That's what CHD has indicated. Okay. >> It's all funded through CHD. Mhm. >> So, and and also fortunately the Wolverampton Police Department is going to handle all of the billing and that
end of it >> and then apply the grant to make payment directly to CHD. So, fortunately for us, the town of Hammond doesn't have to do anything on the financial side of it. >> I think this plan was in place for I think it's in its third year in East Lo.
>> Okay. >> There have been no issues with that. >> So, you have personal experience. It's a great plan. Great plan. It's been great meeting. We also have times where again when she is in our building or the Wilberham building >> and a call comes out and this is person
crisis, she's fully equipped to get right in the cruiser and respond to the officers. >> Um I'm sure you've heard of this where you know we instead of always just having the police go have the mental health person right there with us and sort of help she's actually provided a
bullet vest from the state as well. Okay. >> Just as a a precaution. >> Okay. Any any questions for the chief on this? >> No. No. >> All right. One thing, uh, Bryant, >> I think I asked you about that in your interview, right? >> Yes. You talked about, >> but now it's finally coming to fruition
and >> we interviewed the candidate. We like the candidate. So, CHD is um, we're really looking to stand this up by about second week of January and get this person in place. So, Brian, it was appropriate for the chief to sign theou
um on behalf of the board or should or it's just strictly >> um it's probably okay. I'll take a look at it. I can take a look at it tomorrow morning. >> Okay. More detail. >> All right. >> All right. So, new candidate. >> We need to approve that.
>> That's why I'm asking Brian. He's going to look into that. >> But I don't see a reason why. Why we just conditionally approve it anyhow if it if required. So move condition Brian approving it. >> Second >> if required. All in favor? I I
>> When's the zoo person starting? >> Come on. >> I wish it were that easy. >> Come on. You're a smooth talker. Come on. >> That's why I'm here to try to make this a bit easier. Uh, so I've investigated a way to um try to bring this forward a bit in how we hire people and how we get
um some some draw to the Hampton Police Department. Um, so I've uh sat in, we've had a couple of uh Zoom conferences with this company, goes by the name of Police. I gave you a packet there from them. >> Yeah. >> And a contract that they provide. Um, a
lot of municipalities are using this rather than just put a simple newspaper article or something along those lines and hand them over the times or the journal inquirer. Um, this is a much more modern way, a more streamlined way to do this and hopefully we'll get us a
bigger potential draw. As we know, in the past, it's been a bit difficult, >> right? But see, it's a two-edged sword. It's the ind it's the indeed LinkedIn for police officers, but they're also marketing to a bigger field, too. So,
it's double. You might see more people, but they're going to see more people as well. But anything that expands it for you is going to be good. [snorts] I think so. Um, so what I've looked at, I had Sergeant Grove sitting with me on this >> and then we just discussed it at a staff meeting. All of my supervisors like this
idea. Um well I've used this again in the past in the previous agency so I know that it works um and it is absolutely no cost to us. There are cost models that they provide but we don't need to utilize that. That's simply more marketing on the back end and sort of
website optimization which we don't need to worry about. Um but this is a no cost model. The only cost is to the applicant which >> so we it's it's a bit of a pass through cost and that's how they they run their program. Yeah. >> Um, but it's a much more streamlined way
for us to have our application, all of our forms that they need to complete as a candidate. >> They do all of this online. They submit it all through this application. We get to see it real time on the police side and then once the deadline hits everybody who's completed the requirements, we can then pull from that
applicant pool. Um, [clears throat] this is used locally. I've identified a couple there. Enfield Police Department uses it. Verdon, Connecticut, East Long Meadow has used it. Um, I think it was either was Brenfield or Beluretown. I there's another police agency locally that is using it. Um, but I've used it
in the past. It's a streamlined way to do this. >> We would still do our own social media piece. >> It's just another arrow in your quiver. That's all. Another way to get more. >> We have to modernize our way of doing it. >> Right now, we're cleaning up our application. I would [snorts] like to
put this in place, but it is a contract to be signed. And that would be something for the the TA to sign, I believe, or the board to sign. >> Well, the contract again at no money at the level we're going. >> Correct. It is zero cost to us. >> And it's a three-year contract.
>> This is a three-year contract. >> I think when you when you dig down into it, it basically says that when you hire, you're going to use our service to do that >> and >> for that three-year time period. >> Okay. The only the only caveat is the
only cost comes if an applicant meets criteria to have the fee waved for if they're indigent if they cannot afford the fee, >> right? >> Um I think there's even an ADA piece to that. I we don't see many applicants in the police field, but they have to
include that. Um so that would be the cost to us and the department would have to pay the $40 fee. I can tell you that in the other town that just had 45 applicants, I think two people is is how much it affected. So,
>> right, but you said something a second ago that we would commit to using only this. >> So, that means that you if somebody answered the ad you put out socially, you couldn't hire them without you have to direct them to go through this and come in.
>> It directs. So, if we put our Facebook page up saying the police department is hiring, if we tag it on the town website, what have you, >> it simply gives them a link and it directs them to police app to file their application. So, they're not going to be coming to the police department anymore
to pick up the 50 pages of paper and then come back and return it. They simply click on a link, submit everything electronically, and even their uh transcripts, they can submit electronically from a college or an institution. >> Right? So again, they have [clears throat] to go through this to be considered.
>> They do. >> So even if we we can still put ads out if we choose to. >> Yeah. >> But if we put an ad out, we're makes it easy for us to say go to this website and apply there. >> It's a lot easier than people walking in the door, especially when there's not always somebody there. >> That's what I'm saying. Somebody calls
Matt and said, "Hey, I heard you're having a great time in Hampton. Can I apply?" And Matt's going to say, "Yeah, go on to Blue App and put your stuff in there." >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Correct. It's pretty straightforward. You can look at the website. Um, but again, it's just a more modern way to do
it and hopefully get some >> little bit bigger draw out there. So, >> yeah, like I said, goes both ways. All right. >> It does. It does. >> All right. Um, action required, Brian. >> Not really, right? I don't see much different than theou
authorized the chief to enter into that three-year contract. >> Yeah. Yep. >> Motion to approve. Sure. >> A motion to approve. >> Second. All >> in favor? I [clears throat]
>> Okay, your honeymoon's over. See you next. See you at the budget [laughter] time. >> See the budget kick off. >> So, one thing. So, where we uh we're coming up to dispatch renewal. Where are we with discussions on that? Any idea? Is that something you and
Brian and Brian is that something you're going to discuss with Tony? >> I haven't had any, >> but this is the last year. So, >> and we there was talk on you recall that, oh gosh, let's restart the grant. Maybe because we're adding another
community, maybe we'll get lucky and Grammy possibly coming on in the future. >> Possibly, >> right? So maybe that'll >> that'll kick the state on to oh well maybe we should re redo the financial model and throw him in some money. >> Otherwise we're into
>> pretty big number there was potential for our cost to go down. >> Right. But only if they restart the thing right now what we what is it 25%. >> Yeah it would the the Wilberham fee right now is
125,000. Mhm. >> The first three years the state picked that up. The second the fourth year we paid 50%. This last year we paid 75%. So theoretically it'd be 125,000 if we if we did nothing
>> because it would go away, right? It go away. It >> doesn't stay at 75%. No go away. So it' be 125,000. >> So we need to get that renewal figured out. Pay the [snorts] full. I know you just added Tony just added his fourth >> dispatch position physically in the
building. at the wreck. They do that because of the additional community. Um, and there's another office space there that >> additional community. Really? >> No, no, just with Bel saying. Um, >> yeah, but I mean we've had Beltown for a while. >> Part of that was he needed to add some
more space in there. So, they finally added a fourth position. >> I think that was part of his plan when they added that third community. >> I know there's another office space in there he's eyeing. I don't know if the Wilberham police are willing to give up that space >> um if they had to expand further, but
we'll have to see >> how many communities they're looking to have and then how much the state has to offer on the regionalization piece if they have any more grant money to add. >> Well, back 100% funded level moving forward.
>> Well, back when I started with this started, I my analogy was the raindrops in the windshield. They want those small drops to merge into bigger drops, bigger drop, bigger drops. We're fine with that up to a certain size. I think the Palmer
would have been I don't think the right fit for us, but Graanby sounds like a great fit because they're contiguous with Belchure Town. It's not an enormously big community. >> It's not much more workload for them to have that community. That's we don't want to become
>> We don't want to be West >> Well, that's the problem. That was the problem with West. Don, you brought that up before. We'd be the small fish in that big pond if we joined Westcon at that point. >> And I know that Westcon is looking to add a lot of municipalities. They're looking
to add quite a few. >> Well, they got >> they got to their new building. They have a lot more space. They have a lot more capacity. So, they're looking to add a lot more. So, >> what aware. >> What a change in use for that building. >> You mean from the college? >> Yeah.
>> From the college. Oh yes, >> that's We're going to stop at Salter. >> Yeah, we won't go any further back, right? [clears throat] >> Uhhuh. >> You know how many dispatch senders there are in California, >> isn't it? Four. >> Four. >> Yeah. >> For the whole state. >> Yep.
>> And Bergkur is only one, right? >> The sheriff's department. >> Yeah. Bergkshire is just one, right? Yeah. Just one. >> So run out of sh I think it's run out of the sheriff's department, right? in Birkshire. >> We used the state police and shel. >> Okay.
>> County it. How's that going? >> Want to guess? Zero. >> Working on that. >> Okay. >> I have uh I'll be putting out a see who submits a letter of interest to me on who would like to be considered for that IT position. I'll
>> evaluate if they're >> reach out to um >> Tony >> the overhand IT folks. James the IT director there and I want to see so he's he's emailed me back and we're going to come up with some sort of maybe even some simple sit in type training for my
folks when the second one is identified and make sure that we're all operating in the same space. Um and then we'll see what other type of certifications I can find for my people to get them up to speed. >> Okay. Um I don't want to presuppose what's going to be happening next month.
I will say that I think the board is cognizant of the fact this is going to be very tough fiscal year in the upcoming 27 budget. So any avenues you can explore for outside funding would be greatly appreciated. Just as we talked about obviously the dispatch renewal
um we're aware that there are vehicle issues coming forward and we need to be cognizant of them as well and so uh maybe don't drive around so much you know save that wear and tear keeping [snorts] keep it in neutral if you're going no if
you're going down South Mson road keep it in neutral right just coast Save a little gas. >> Exactly. >> Yeah. Anything you want to bring forward? >> No, I'm good. Thank you.
>> Can I bring forward something, please? >> With the chief. >> Yeah. >> Uhoh. Been holding on. Okay. >> AEDs. You have an officer that does >> Yes, I brought that up right >> in town here cuz >> it could we have them come over here cuz we got to figure out an AED plan here.
>> Okay. We talked about few about we have very few of them and I keep I keep meaning to email you but I keep forgetting and here you are. So >> and what happened with the one there was one in the library. Correct. >> There's one downstairs at the townhouse that needs to be brought over. >> Okay. >> But that's going to >> Well, we want one in the library zone,
the town hall zone, and the park and wreck zone. >> Okay. >> Right. >> Okay. >> And I don't know what the I I assume that one is when we left there. I assume it was in working order, but if somebody could take a look at it, that'd be great. >> Okay. will be uh that sergeant wrote. He handles our medical and >> okay
>> CPR first aid AEDs. So I can speak to him and have him >> come over here. >> Right. And the Parker wreck one already was probably in the gym because they've been using it for so long. But yeah, >> I wonder if they've been checked and if they're up to speed and
>> you know expire things like that. So >> no, we had to pay quite a bit couple years ago for Right. Yeah. >> All right. Okay. >> Yeah, please. >> I will uh email him. I will have him come in and check those out. >> Great. >> Okay. And then see what you need. Okay.
>> Thank you, gentlemen. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, ma'am and lady. >> Drive safely. >> Well, just not North Road. Oh, it is open [clears throat] >> now. Your Well, your part was never closed. >> My part wasn't closed. That's right. The
bar at 1:30 yesterday. >> It's closed that long. two telephone poles and >> lots of big trees >> trees, lots of oak >> and that was the >> she was I ran into Mary Dunley and she was saying that part was the part fed
backwards from Wolver >> right so >> thank you chief apologize >> thank you have a good night >> all right so um we have removed the need for an executive session tonight uh due to some of the people not being able to
be here. So, we'll kick right into member reports and starting off with Don and I had a great time Wednesday night with multiple meetings uh conservation and planning. Planting has quite a bit in front of
them for the upcoming with a potential possible change of use at a storage thing which was still being explored. Possible >> brewery >> brewery slash
>> actually it's an east metal but they need >> access from Hampton. No, it's in Hampton but access from east kind of like a bit of a treehouse type thing what they're doing. You know, wish it was like more. You think the revenue would get free came in? But >> free rooms over here.
>> There you go. Um, and Concom Don, anything? >> Com is uh they've got an issue on Glendale Road that they're looking into. >> And uh that's about it. That's the big thing. Yeah. >> Usual, you know.
>> Yeah. Good to see uh [clears throat] our new guy helping out. That's certainly going to provide some good >> some structure for them going forward. >> Uh anything on fiber? Any idea what I mean is Wolverham said what's their plan going forward?
>> I have not heard as of yet. Um I I know I'm still waiting for Charter their big, you know, um public announcement um you know saying that they were >> which was a nothing burger at that point. >> It was a nothing burger saying that they were going to put us live. I believe
Brian correct me if I'm wrong. Wasn't it by the end of the year or >> I thought it was January >> or January. So hopefully within the next month we'll see emails from Spectrum saying, "Hey, you can sign up for our new hybrid symmetrical upload download speeds and
we'll see if they actually their money where their mouth is." >> The only emails we see, Don, are the ones where they're taking a channel, dropping a channel, changing a channel. [laughter] >> None of which we watch anyhow.
>> QVC still on? I'm not sure. Yeah. Um, so it'll be interesting to see what's happening with the uh with planning going forward. The upcoming Brian, before you start your part, we had talked about the budget kickoff meeting on the 12th.
I'm just a bit concerned. Obviously, we're cognizant of what's happening with uh Lauren and recovery process. Did we get notice out to all boards about that date? I can't be sure.
>> I don't remember. >> I don't remember it being mentioned in the in either meeting we're at, Don. >> No. >> You know. >> Yeah. I don't >> And I always make the point some of these boards that only meet once a month where you got to tell them early so they
can get, you know, at least mentioned in the meeting. Um she did send an email >> December 8th >> to everybody about that date. Okay, good. Good. Notified time, Brian. >> And the only thing we need to make sure
that advisory has a chance to get their stuff together handed out that night. I usually have the forms for your turn in your budget. Your budgets go to the select board. Your budgets go to us because you're appointed versus selected, etc.
um something to talk about and really that's Brent if you want to get back to us get a sense of recovery time and if if we need to have someone help out. >> Yep. >> Okay.
>> We look for somebody who's been in the position before, maybe experienced, etc. >> Yeah. We'll get through tomorrow and >> Yeah. get a sense of, you know, what they what they say. >> Yep. All right. [snorts] Um, and as to the meeting that was scheduled tonight, uh,
there was a request that could we push it to next Monday, but during the day, >> you know, >> and nothing nothing would make me happier than just doing whatever they need to have done, you know, cuz I mean, we're all about that, right? Done.
>> That's a no. >> You want to go any further? [laughter] >> I agree. >> Yeah. So that's all nice. Um they could that person could always zoom in. >> So uh we're happy to put them on the agenda for next Monday would be the
reply. Right. And again my point I would like to I'm not interested in meeting that does not include full participation by all members. So the story gets out correctly
and we're all participating with the same information. You know what I mean? >> That's right. >> I agree. >> Hopefully the board feels the same way that >> Okay, we do. >> So, I'm happy to if it's more convenient, it can be first thing on the agenda. We can go start with an executive session and then do the rest
of the business. There's nothing major on the 29th anyhow, right? Heck, it could be the only thing by then. >> We got a we got all our yearly things done. So, >> yeah. >> All right. Administrator report. Um, so the contract for the $90,000
state earmark has finally been signed. >> Nice. >> So, no back seats. Um, we have solicitations out for the camera security system here at um new town hall. We're able to uh do procurement under that under a statewide
contract. So, we we've reached out to vendors for that. We have one reply so far. Um, and we're hoping to get one more because that's what the contract requires is to us to solicit at least three and receive back at least two written statements. Um, the
asbestous abatement for um the select board meeting room that's been scheduled. Um, I want to say it's January 8th and 9th, but I'm not exactly positive. >> That was the date. >> That was the date. Um, and obviously
followed up by that with the new flooring. I believe this sink has been removed. Um hopefully that can be ready by mid January. Um I had another call. This is has been going on seemingly forever about the cable
franchise agreement. Um >> here we go. How about that? [laughter] >> Literally taking forever. >> I cut the cord. >> Um you know it was delayed a little bit because now this is location and they're trying to take them forever. I I would imagine
it's actually a fairly simple thing, but it's difficult to get a schedule. Does they need to test the connections between here and their head end, wherever that is, and it's a headache.
Um, but that is still out there. Um, we're still working on the language for the acco septic system well issue for this building. Um, a little bit back and forth with Mass D. I finally got language back from
town council sent over to Mass D. Um, and has also not signed. um [clears throat] the OPM, the contract with the OPM, a draft was prepared by town council and sent to CMS and when
that comes back, I think it it might warrant further discussion with the board about that um about that contract. I would imagine that the board would want to see that contract, which is um really changed substantially since we had that first
draft. Um, >> how does the building committee feel about it? >> Um, the building committee, uh, in terms [clears throat] of the contract, I think they're okay with that. Okay with the contract.
Um, there were a lot of changes to the contract, a lot of safeguards for the town that were put in there. >> Might be a if we [snorts] have time, maybe we'll get it come in here. Yeah. Uh that brings up a thing just thinking about that area.
We got to get that town hall thing back in gear. >> You get some people in some open opinion. It can't just be and look, I've been in town all my life. I understand the emotional attachment that building, but we need some dispassionate, you know, impartial objective ideas to
it. So whether Kristen puts it out there, we put it out on Facebook or something like or on the town page. We tried that one. >> Well, >> we tried again. >> Yeah. >> Um, >> we try it again, but I mean, we got to get it done. Right now, we got an
expensive asset there that says we're even cutting back. We're still heating. >> We're still taking care of still doing a security on it. >> We just went Yeah. >> Right. So, >> yeah, everything's scaled back, but there's there's still a cost to carry the building, >> right? They're still insuring it to some
extent, right? >> It's not our policy. >> Yeah. Frank's down. Well, >> everything we owe. >> Everything's off. >> I know you can do at least two pickle ball courts in that auditorium, I'm sure. But [snorts]
>> that's a good idea. >> Hey, my dad played basketball there when school was there. Of course, people were shorter back then. myself. [laughter] [snorts] >> I was the shortest guy in our I was the shortest guy in our college basketball team. >> Really?
>> At 61. I was the shortest guy. >> No kidding. >> I was a power forward. >> I bet you were also >> you Larry Bird. I mean >> also also also known as Follow that guy cuz he's giving us a hard time.
[laughter] >> Okay. >> Hackadon. Yeah, coach. >> Yeah. Good. >> All right. Uh, anything else to come before the board? Really? Again, we have the schedule non we mentioned before municipal building.
>> Yeah. >> And that might tie into the uh town hall. >> Yeah. >> You want to put a call a meeting for sometime early January. >> I got a lot to do after the first year between the budget and the regional agreement and >> all that. But again, and I encourage
anybody to watch that last uh meeting, not the school committee meeting, but the prior the one the uh finance meeting. That was the Monday night meeting, I think. >> Some interesting numbers being thrown around there. Good luck with the school committee meeting. I did mention to
Michelle they need to throw some money at their AV. That was a very difficult meeting to watch. Just dark and like bad audio. You done? >> I heard that. Brian, would you say on purpose?
>> I'm done. >> Motion to journ. >> John. >> John. Hey, John. >> No. No. Give us a there quietly. So, >> no. You did a lot of work. Give us a quick report about the hookup on
>> the work is done. >> We had a little problem in the beginning, so we couldn't turn it right on. The plumber went and did all the inside work. We had to change the street connection, >> right? >> They left the part out. So that's been resolved today. So >> Oh, really? >> I haven't heard yet. So it was supposed
to get it turned on to the house. >> So basically we the background is that we had a PAS hit. We were notified by our operator uh worked out to the water commission that the line was already going by that
house. So it was a matter of just making the final connection to the house. They got right on it with Baltazar with the homeowner who was a little difficult to reach at that point. And you're saying the part was bad at the street. Was that our part or?
>> No. What they installed? There was a a short adapter section called >> and it wasn't there. So the wrench couldn't go in. I I had to go I went down to town uh garage to get the wrench. It didn't matter because it
would fit the top. So that was >> well okay not the throw out things but that was Baltazar who did it wrong >> right >> so now I'm concerned about the other 27 fittings that they have out there [clears throat] >> they will resolve that themselves
>> they're going to check them out >> if they come across more of those so it's not going to be an expensive time >> shouldn't be right okay all right just checks but as you're aware you're saying you think everything by tomorrow is going to be all wrapped up that guy is going to be back online or online >> done tonight.
>> Tonight if it got done okay >> but I haven't been notified in any ways. >> That's always been a little issue trying to get communications. >> And really that's not any cost because that was a house that was going to be hooked up by the thing. Anyhow, >> it was not the connection
[clears throat] from the street to the house was never there. Uh they didn't have a gate a street valve there anyway. It was passed up. So, but we selected that as one of the houses for the peak faucet [snorts]
to make put the street gate valve in and then went up the driveway into the house. Everything was there except for the final connection with the with the beater and such. >> Right. But again, that was going to happen sooner or later anyhow. >> Absolutely. >> Right. So, it's not like it's it's just
quicker than we thought it was going to be because of the PAS hit. Right. Okay. And you're still on track. Do you think early first quarter to get the pad in? You hope >> they're coming in next month to start the generator. >> Okay. >> That's the most information I have at
this time. As far as what's the back order says no update yet. >> Okay. Speaking of the generator, Brian, um I know you got an outstanding motion here. >> Are we still talking about getting a price on moving the generator from the town hall to the school?
