good evening call M to order this is a meeting of the hand and select board in the Board of Health being held in the townhouse Auditorium March 10th 2025 at 5:30 p.m. this meeting is being conducted in person everyone and remotely using video conferencing
technology please stand for The Pledge Allegiance Pledge to the flag the United States of America and to the Republic which it stands one nation God indivisible liberty and justice for all is anyone recording the meeting
other than ourselves Krist from the wam hamon timeses thank you any minutes nope no okay so the first item on our agenda is the um Hampton wilham Regional School District
Regional agreement so the planning I give you a brief update on what's going on there the planning committee met uh last uh Tuesday that would be the fourth um and there was a a discussion that
most of the things have been agreed upon in the regional agreement the outstanding item right now is if the wilam Middle School becomes a Regional School the sharing of the capital costs of any improvements that need to be done
there is there a differentiation between prior and ongoing or future there is that right now okay so I at the meeting brought up the the the point that there was a number of of uh uh Capital needs
that had not been met there was there was a a feasibility study there was a uh in the feasibility study it said which school would be used they said that either School needed a number of Capital Improvements if it was going to be a Consolidated School because you get the increased student population there was a
number of things that needed to be done and so there was quite a discussion about that surrounding that and uh it was it was determine that the that the best Avenue right now would be have the two select boards meet in order to kind of hash out what would be uh reasonable
and fair for both towns a meeting was originally established for tomorrow night but then U the wilham select board suggested that the their legal Council attend and they encouraged us to have our legal councel attend so I at that
point uh said well I have to check with my board about that because I don't I can't make the determination of my own and we we cancel the meeting so that's where we are so I personally don't think we need legal counsel there this is a you know it's it's not
a none of this has been adversarial I don't think it should be adversarial um but I do think we need to Hash this out so what do you think about illegal Council being president I I don't think we need it I think you're right we've had a good relationship having meetings before with
them I go back down we had that meeting at the wber police station two years ago with both Finance committees I think it's a good chance for us to sit down um and sooner rather than later uh next week it's filling up you have your master plan thing of course on tuesday3
the 18th CPC on Wednesday I next Thursday be okay or I'll I'll check I think the select board wam select board chair is on vacation at the end of the month I think she's going to be away at the end of the month so maybe we could get it in between maybe next Thursday
right how was Thursday for you um I'll have to check the schedule um I I don't think legal council is needed there's there's nothing that we're discussing that's would be in a contract or violation because nothing's been written yet so we wouldn't need legal council until any
verbiage was agreed upon the other thing is Don if we're talking the six of plus and if you're thinking that would be the only thing on the discussion I mean anytime during the day is it can work for me and Craig if that helps you at all it depends on the time I mean but I'm saying if that helps you at all you
know do all shoot for March 18th no no March 19th 20th 20th only because um CPC the 18th is the uh the uh master plan
public forum okay all right um too late to get this Thursday perhaps or no cuz we got to post and everything right yeah we'd have to post tomorrow latest so I have to get a hold of them and see if they could do it
everything but we we'll shoot for the 20th I like your recap Don was pretty good and I think you know the numbers they're talking I mean we're 18% of the population of WMS well we're 18% in the district too so that is what it is now I just think to get by one sticking
point I thought the discussion about the regional agreement changes were pretty accurate you know it gets back to almost that house reconstruction Thing Once you touch part of it you're stuck with how much more but it go back push on is desie pushing
too much for some of this I want to say extraneous stuff but pretty soon they'll be telling you what font to print it in and well there was a lot of silly stuff they're asking for you know so I think I mean the superintendent they had they
had the last time they had 66 comments and we asked the superintendent to talk to him and get rid of him and he got rid ofid there just exous things that you know how is the refresh my memory with the current Regional agreement with the
high school how is that broken down the current Regional agreement with the high school for a capital expenditure if there's a capital expenditure it's broken down by the the ratio of students in that building MH and but we own that building like
jointly region and the land right we own the land in the building joint so that's apples oranges and that's the whole thing about in my mind that's bit of a Bugaboo with us participating in a
building that is still on the books in werham and the land and I know a lot of social comments about how this is only a pre you know precursor to getting a new Middle School think the only thing I want to
add and I watched that meeting that was recorded on zoom and I didn't think it was in the right context that we're allowing handed students as I think you alluded to before Don nobody's allowing hand students to go to that school they
were no choice yeah I appreciate your push back on that and I know Mark ducey's a throw it out there because it's it's known is a Fearless advocate for Wam and he should be on finance he's got a lot of experience maybe the the comment was I think inappropriate at
that point I think uh you made that point back to him I think we can move on from there he made he made two comments one that they were allowed to go there and and the other thing was that that we gave we gave them the privilege to go there the only the opportunity to go
there the only thing I see happening now is it may be opening Old Wounds yeah to new criticism again so we know the history we know the past we know why the kids are there right and we are where we are right and so we got to move forward and I think that like you said the opportunity for the six of us to sit
down with our administrators and that's you know we don't need lawyers at $500 an hour well that's theirs ours is cheaper let me be clear right get discount disc sure we get discount law
hey oh all right anything so I I'll set up a meeting I'll let you know all right uh the ambulance contract saw somebody log in is action on there hi gentlemen this is
Rob uhor I'm the CFO at action ambulance um I I do want to apologize in advance Mike uh waran our CEO just called me he's not able to join he thought he was going to be able to and is not this evening all
right um so I so we we're looking your proposal is for renewal for uh 3 years with twoyear extension two oneyear extensions yes sir yes that's correct
and it would be the 3% and we would do I guess what we'd like to do probably is roll in the rebate because I think if we went to the away for the rebate would be big jump this time in our yeah now that we've got it figured in now we got it
figured in um I want to ask about the the the third thing the proposed subsidy amounts included here in assume that the impact of change in the federal state government IMM material what what does that do if they're not what if they cut your
reimbursements your Medicare Medicaid reimbursements so um the items that are post are listed here are just examp at this point obviously nothing has happened at the federal government level uh but there are a lot of unknowns with
not only just a change of the administration but how they're going through and and taking an ax to a lot of different programs um we're not expecting anything but there are a lot of unknowns in that regard uh I do want to make clear that
if if there was to be any type of a change that would impact uh action action UL uh as a result of any of these changes or something else that's unforeseen um this would be a discussion with us in the town there would not be a like a unilateral we're changing something
there would be a discussion between action the oversight committee the board of Selectmen uh to make sure you know we're we're collaborating and maintaining the partnership that we need to um you know we're not going to Spring anything on anybody uh but we just wanted to at least put the thought out there that you know there could be
things that are unforeseen at this point that may require a discussion at some time down the road if so is there is there language in this contract for reopening uh I'm not aware of that but that would be if necessary we could put
that in as an amendment um or you know additional terms there's a concern we have to find a mechanism to do it yeah I think the proposal itself would be an amendment to the to the contract as stated so we could add wording um
to reflect you know if it has to be reopened you know what the the mechanism is for that right I mean just on the base numbers I think it's the base numbers reflect a reasonable increase you know based on what's going on but like I said the unknowns that are out
there we need to have the flexibility to to work with them so both parties need to and it's protecting you just as we are protecting to the town I I Brian could we're probably not the only Community worried about
that how you doing with your how's your Staffing been I know a couple people have been sick and stuff but you know that's understandable yeah I know so I'll speak I I'm Finance I'm not as tied in with operations as as Mike or or Dave tetrol
is but I can say I know I have seen some of the the um some emails recently people being sick people being held over at fire um which has impacted you know the alss uh providers um for the most part I believe Staffing is what I see uh
Staffing is has improved um overall um I think Dave tetrol has done a a fantastic job of of maintaining and communicating uh with the town um but obviously the the you know the sick outs happen um
people do get held over at their other other jobs as a as a fire based provider um things that are out of our control um but I believe Staffing overall has improved over the last several months how are your collections doing for the first six months
here I believe it's up slightly versus uh uh versus last year um that rough back of the envelope numbers I'm showing I was showing about just under 71% last year we were at I think 69% for the full year or just under 69% um so it's
trended up a little bit granted that's all you know my numbers right now are based on projections for how I think the full year is going to play out um full year meaning the full 15mon collection cycle on the 12-month contract or transport time frame um but
it does seem to have improved uh slightly versus last year there's been no change in your reimbursements from the state or anything huh money correct the only the only bump that we've seen at this point was I believe it was a 2.4% increase in the overall Medicare
rate that was effective January 1st but beyond that that's there's been nothing else um pushed down from the state now there is a ton of legislation I believe it's 92 separate bills that at the at the state house right now um that
to some imp to some effect uh do impact EMS um some of them involve training some of it involves uh um payments to Providers um we don't know where those will end up being and that's some of these unknowns um we don't know where
those are going to ultimately end up if things will get kicked down the road to the next cycle next legislative session uh or if things will actually make their way through um the current uh the current legislator [Music] legislature so are we going to get a
proposed contract or are we going to just roll what we currently have because the way it's listed here looks like it's a 5year cont 1 2 3 four 5year contract three with the two it's not prefaced right yeah no so we need we we've got your figures but what we're going to
need is a a written you know contract yep okay with and then we can maybe work with Brian to get it get the wording for if there's a change in the subsidies and we can figure something out there how much is the Medicare reimbursement
now um well went up 2.4% but the if you give me a I could actually get the current rates up in front of me [Music]
483 right I see um for an ALS non-emergent call I'm looking at at least the data that I have is 347 um I believe that was at I believe that was the 2024 so that would get
bumped up you know 2.4% wow that's all you get right and that's it that's all we got so if it's at an ALS level an ALS Emer I'm sorry that was the alss non-emergent so an ALS emergent
is 550 plus two and a quart or 2.4% a BLS emergent call is 463 plus 2.4% so you know it's still under $600 for for an emergency call at the ALS level is Medicaid any different I'm sorry I
didn't hear is Medicaid any different Medicaid in the state is much lower so New Hampshire has parody between Medicaid and Medicare in Massachusetts Medicaid for those same two uh an ALS emergent is under $400 it's 396 and a
BLS emergent is 334 so there's a there's a big difference between the two what percentage of calls are Medicare Medicaid what' you say um I don't know specific to Hampton but
Statewide we're probably around 60% Medicare and Medicaid combined maybe a little bit more than that but that's Statewide so might not be the cities you
know all right so I guess I'll have Brian get a hold of Mike to get getting get the wording for the contract okay Rob okay y sounds good if you have any other questions obviously you can let Mike know or he can reach back out to me as well okay
thank you a good evening thank you have a good evening our budget oh yeah what do you got budget you got everything is is there everything in yeah k sink in here salaries up top CH spense is the
one I did find for employee benefits that payout amount we're going to add 30k to that line is it employee benefits is that third block down yeah
starts with property liability insurance and employee benefits so we don't have a number for Mike he just yeah I just received it today okay that's that was the estimate here we are we going to add how
much 30,000 so that's going to be 382 I mean 782 782 yeah okay and then you got you got the Board of Health coordinator you figure 52,000 yeah that would be a decrease that's that's assuming there's a the
facilities responsibilities are removed from that position so we will reduce a number of hours and it's going to reset to grade five step one but up top they're they're suggesting the creation of a facility manager position and the water district
work have we defined the facilities manager so I have a dra a draft job description that I sent out this afternoon okay just really literally right before the the meeting there is a possibility if well there something to
talk about if the Board of Health coordinator is 32 hours now if maybe they want to go 40 hours we could combine the water dist keep the water district clerk stuff in there if they wanted the possibility going 40 hours
um but it's just something to think about I just want me just run down the general expenses where they've changed would that be helpful sure uh so town meeting expenses so anything in red here is an increase in green is a decrease um town meeting
expenses that's those are the AV costs for town meeting 18,000 property and liability insurance it's a 6% General increase with a with bringing on the GW it's going to add an additional
$42,000 annually to the premiums that we don't currently pay we just talk about employee benefits uh Town reports is a slight increase there are there any other increases in the insurance I mean I know we have a the new fire truck coming in I
don't know if that's that's more is that a blanket number what we have currently for Fire Equipment but that's replacing a pretty old vehicle is it okay we do have some wiggle room for uh uh additions of subtractions to our
um list of assets but we we can check on that that the brush truck yes that we promised someday hasn't been cut yet uh Transportation Monitor and testing I'm not sure why the previous one was
12222 um but I like round numbers well that was I think that's probably more expended than actual appropriated that was a number yeah that was listed pretty odd number um keep going down uh increase in
postage suggested uh running back that transfer we do we anticipate that going that's a worst case at this point once they go online in the district that's going to come down a bit right Craig should yeah that's that was the hopes we should we'll have they'll we'll have
about half a year of what we're doing now right because assuming the connections happen this winter or late fall and then third and fourth quarter would drop quite a bit I would think yeah might be something down that in the fall town meeting as we we be able to do
something with it right we see how far they are we could take it back right well or we better off to take it down now to take increased down a bit I wouldn't say the full 60 but I'm saying do we make it just round it to
100 then you're only takeing maybe 20 back inre I think that sounds logical I mean we we we know we're going to anticipate a decrease but we know there's going to be I would think you're connecting how many homes we're testing now at least at least 15 are going to be
16 added to it right if not closer to 23 20 4 24 yeah uh no no no that's no yeah 24 yeah yeah what what 100 you think 100 top end
yeah School building repair zero that out mm um keep going down uh increase in postage uh small increase for the website and this is quickly that that increase I mean I remember the big increase was because I thought it was a
one-time charge that we had to fund the Bop thing and it stayed up that high after that too cuz I thought was like gosh it was like six grand one time I thought and then it's going to stay up that high now I I'll double check but
I'm pretty sure the the one time charge was around 30 something we had may had trouble figuring out how we're going to fund that if we had found thanks Bob on a few things
yeah so I I changed the headings here the townhouse and tww uh the Nam your townhouse inwb custodial repairs um I wasn't really sure what to do with the uh custodial to keep it at 15 because we're going to kind of split the year
most likely are we allowed to sit yeah yeah sure should we should we come back another time yeah if I can quickly just jump in so I ran to Tony at the event the donut event Senior Center his son is looking for an Eagle project oh okay so
I was going to talk to Mark about it and see what uh we could do we don't have anything yet okay but thank you for coming in if you want if I here we can done we can put them on the agenda for next meeting should I reach out to you you gave me yourself yeah but I didn't get back you didn't reply back to me I
didn't get your number yeah so should I text you text me and I'll put you like I said we'll be in the loop with Mark and see what project he has you look strong ready to work I think rehabbing the entire mil Pond it' be fun or you even mentioned maybe rehabing twb that's F the whole thing put a new
roof on and everything you water pipe a couple friends exactly okay so I'll text you thank you okay thank you so uh custodial uh main so I I'm not really sure where that's going to land so I just suggested keeping it where it is
now the custodial because we're going to have this building throughout least most likely half the year anyways uh maintenance and repairs yeah just to talk about that custodial there was some mention at the last Municipal
meeting about a $200,000 number to maintain the town hall even this place even after we left and I'm like I don't know where that came from I think that even mentioned maybe that but just it didn't we don't spend that now when we're fully occupied it wouldn't be
close to that I think the biggest cost would would be uh and there's ways to there's strategies we can use to to to avoid this but the biggest cost would become If This Were to become vacant in the eyes of our insurance
company so having regularly scheduled events here meetings or in office or two here it will prevent it from becoming vacant obviously vacant building insurance is is tremendously more expensive than regular building insurance but I'm not sure what that
number okay I would have thought just the regular utilities would be less and yeah and obvious we put it on the the police come into honestly a wellness check anyhow daily yeah I I so I didn't increase custodial
or uh the maintenance and repairs I I assume that I mean we have 100,000 appropriated we'll probably get a little bit more to deal with some of the the maintenance and repay issues that exist at the building so at this point I felt comfortable keeping it the same one thing that will increase is we will be
responsible for the the utilities there um these are numbers aside from from heating the electric number might be a little bit low it's going to be hard to tell till we get in there but again we're going to be in there full electricity let's say
for for half a year at most so and then we'll have continued water testing cost there um so I didn't feel like we needed to to I felt like we could raise it up about the cost of the utilities currently that were currently being paid
there uh I talked with Mark about the gasoline purchase he suggest raise that tiny bit uh shared services um Finn gave us numbers as to what the projected shortfall would be um
I think he was projected around 12 oh it's right there 12,000 36 but the shortfall is not the 25,000 plus 12 right the shortfall is the difference between the grant now
and is that the 12 236 is 12 236 right so and we just do like 50 why do we need 25 then yeah that that was a point of discussion I didn't know how comfortable we were with how much we wanted to lower it I should say I'd go 15 if we need
something that's where you tap the reserve account at that point 15 that Water District Operations this was one where we talked about last time it's it's I don't know what this is going to
be but I know it's going to increase right utilities are going to increase they're going to be uh supplies are going to increase I would suggest they have some contingency funds available if something were to happen I think they for for water district testing I I think
they they they plan out their they're testing but then what happened I don't know a month ago month and a half ago when they had that you know anal ey concern with the water then now you have additional testing costs that you weren't planning for and in the past
those having those funds available uh weren't really in budget and more water man you have and you know the the chances that something else is going to is going to happen to it so um I think it would be good if they can start to a
budget for the increased [Music] operations at what point just to there's never going to be enough revenue generated to make it an Enterprise fund right that's the problem we'd always be putting money in yeah three paying customers yeah so I'm just
saying it never you never could stand on itself right even if they all paid how much would have little all right cover the electricity basically correct my understanding is now with the new tank and we talk about the Eco out brakes and stuff the new
tank now would be enough to if they valet properly to supply the district while they're purging the the line or do they have to purge all the lines back to the houses as well for contamination when they do when they
do an E coine he has to basically bleach the line right they don't Purge it but they I'm saying so chlorinates it so can they chlorinate just that part but still Supply the district from the tank probably not it probably be dependent on where the the concern was I'm wondering do they also have to per basically
chlorinate the tank too where do they test well it depends right now it's right at the Wells I believe you know the tap but everything's changing so it could be different but I I all I remember is the
one time that it's been a negative test or a positive test at the pump house I don't think it's ever that's ever the case it was just because we had low groundwater last year and that was a different concern but I I don't ever remember being a contamination there
it's always been ated end user somewhere I think I had asked John about that so the tank gets filled and stay filled doesn't recycle the tank all the time right it would draw from the tank that's where the pressure comes from so it you fill the tank and the pressure would push out from there so the tank helps with the pressurization too itself
basically than a tank would have to be part of the system at that point yeah but again I I can only recall one time that there's been a positive hit at the pump house M so that's just a probably rare occurrence all right what else you
got what does that add up to so well if we add the 30k to employee benefits and we take out 20K from transfer station monitoring and Tas in and we take out 10K from shared services we end up where we started yeah 5% five five
off huh oh no yeah 15 and 25 just 10 and there's 20 so there 30 so what's the total what it is same 1989 h
no no the other 20 to the right 2, 9229 to the right of the green column realistically from last year we're only up what we had 30,000 there right took
30 roughly $200 from last year right when you look at 1 n now we're 20 no 292 I have two 2092 yeah and we were 1, 1,900 last year right so we're only up
about $200 $200,000 yeah sorry mhm car zero that 102 468 is the difference between no up $100,000 $1,000 yeah2 that totally yeah that's what that is yeah that's with the additions of the
facility manager at 70,000 the water district cor get 23,000 so I mean General expenses you kind of really it's not a huge increase in general expenses it's mostly salary right well I mean especially when you keep the County Retirement out of this
number here that huge increase is not really under our purview it's an expense $151,000 what what the um what are you projecting for a a warrant article for the move so I don't have all the I don't
have the library moving number yet um I think Ellen was meeting with national there's a special uh Library Movement Company I think she's meeting with them on the 18th um we had the the the second quote that we received today was just over 30,000 that was that was more of an
estimate so um now the first quote was 70 was that include the library no the the first quote that was 70 was was they come in and pack everything up and they move us and we don't really do anything they gave us a second quote which was
closer to 50,000 for for us packing and moving and this one was this one was a little bit more estimate this one makes me this one was a little bit more uh a bit more specific on the number there their quote was based on
calculations based on number of items moved in that kind of so I mean they did a 45 minute walk through so I think that price could go up if you know after we actually if we were to use them I'm still waiting for one other quote from a
company but um I I I I wasn't very impressed um and then J and I are going to meet with Andre um just to talk about moving some of the the computer stuff servers and things like that how about new furniture and stuff like that we talked about a
couple do you anticipate first off are there people here that should get a new desk because it's not worth moving that desk it'll fall apart uh most of the stuff we have here is metal so probably not but uh a lot of
the furniture here is older and some some people have expressed desire for for new furniture uh one of the next steps U that we have is to see what's what's remaining in the building there's
just in not really paying attention but walking through there are there is some pieces of furniture that are definitely worth keeping there at the school you mean yeah yeah and in talking with herb and the other people have they pretty much taken what what they want and the
rest is left I need to I need to to check back in with him when when we had the site visits a couple weeks ago he said he said one half of the building he was was was pretty much done and then they still needed to go through the
other the other part but I I can remember walking through there's there's two classrooms full of student desks MH um that there's that one all kinds of he said it was our stuff with filing cabinets and desks and chairs there's
definitely uh filing cabinets for sure there's definitely shelving for sure that we could use I'd even like to know from the custodial standpoint you know the machine they use for the floors do they have a need for or they going to leave it that's an expensive piece yeah
so what about the um the it infrastructure are we going to have to go in and do anything so we apply for that Grant I'm not sure when we'll we we'll hear back um the plan for the grant was to was to buy the new
switches are the current switches still serviceable yes they were yes they they were just more than 10 years old so it made sense to to to replace them but in in the the carryover there's still serviceable we can use
them um yes I would want to double check so that I understood the conversation that I had correctly they're definitely taking the wireless access point um and um they said that they could leave the
switches well just looking at their assessment I mean they want us to pay for switches at greed Meadows so did we already pay for switches and stuff at Thor burges 10 years old so probably yeah you know and did we pay for the access points or did they pay for
those was that part of one of our capitals expenses we can look back just curious you know just looking at the the budget that they proposed with the assessment over here if we we're paying for it there if we already paid for it here
what the capital expenses for green meows is that going to be a separate warrant article thought it was on the oh green medals for green medals I I would recommend that they to me they it would make sense for them to be separate Capital items uh because it's not like a
capital assessment from the Regional School District which is usually part of their assessment right is usually yeah but we've been pushing them to break it out anyhow like we did last year with the four things from the high school right you so it should definitely be a
separate warrant article I guess the question is how many warrant articles I mean you could pack them together but one will one will think sync the whole the whole boat so that's are they going to do their
they're want they they've got a bunch for Min are they going to break those out or they going Som I think those will come in the form of a capital assessment to the town either take it or leave it what's that a single Capital assessment I I would expect it to be that yeah now
with that type of thing Don they they would have to live together right one town couldn't turn them down or yeah right one town could turn them down and then they don't go then they don't go right and I think that's the reason why
we said the last time break it out into categories because there might be things that can go that people say okay that makes sense but remember the second floor railing the yeah know oh would you remind me on I to
say on the hden wilham Regional School District amendments take it off because they're not going to do it till the fall it's not going to come forward to the fall I check with the superintendent in in the school committee voted to do that to
take it off because they want to give people time to understand it and all that that make sense yeah it would make sense to me that they break it out and different thing because there may be things there that people are saying I'm not I'm not
interested in paying $50,000 for X you make a good point about the the AC switches curious if they charging this assessment at Green Meadows and what did we already get charge for over there in terms of the whole jump I mean what we have coming on especially with
change in staff Etc I think the 5% jump is $100,000 is pretty reasonable in a $2 million budget there Brian it's mostly salary and it's and a lot of its new new salary and if it wasn't and what
percentage is the TB part I mean considerable look at the jump I mean the premium jump for school 42 out of it now which they the the insurance company valued the school at how much 18 million
18 million to change a million why you want to put it on the market that's it's good chunk of change the assessors have an assess at 8 million yeah but a forward replacement value would be 180 million what the school in Isel
[Music] 175 so if you had to build a municipal building right now probably that 18 million is pretty accurate yeah all right anything else on that we won't be meeting an executive
session tonight because uh the highway Union person is ill and you don't have anything report from the right okay are we going down there or they coming up here our next thing would be to meet with the advisory
committee a little earlier now around they're probably on way up down there you want do reports waai yeah we'll do reports have the select board report members report member person member
person member person John uh had a senior C building committee meeting this morning uh Gary reported to me that they're working with a window company for a quote on that also a quote for rof replacement I know we touch base with
Brian as well to get information on prevailing wage Etc so we get the correct numbers and efforting to get something for the meeting at this point I have nothing to report I gave my report regarding the planning committee
and the uh master plan master plan is meeting Wednesday morning to to meet with the consultant to talk about the setup for the 18th which should be a forum and and input from citizen input for the for the master plan which is
very important for people to attend there's a lot of recommendations there do you want to get that company to broadcasting oh I know like expensive but my gosh the part they do with the I know they do a nice job that's said Lord is school so is that going to be
assuming people's Zoom or screen sharing is going to be important screening and we talked about also just like you know for some of our Municipal meetings here it's important to get that camera automatically rotate see any wed there is also no school on Wednesday
so you might have dimin part participation no no school on Wednesday really why in service day oh snow day well middle school has to go to school oh of a snow day it's cuz they
make up for the mold all day all day there's a sound bite nice well it's true it is what it is how administrator report yep um there's a uh water project meeting tomorrow with uh commissioner
time B uh to talk about the uh uh moving the project forward uh Jan and are meeting with Entre at twb uh I think scheduled it for Wednesday uh to see what it's going to take to uh mobile it equipment there and
uh we have four candidates Cates four right four candidates for the Board of Health coordinator position we paired it down to four cand right we pair it down to four and we'll be having interviews on Thursday afternoon
um that's about it starting at two right Don Brian yeah Brian you mentioned earlier about the Board of Health coordinator maybe doing the water clerk position Y is that
something that would be realistically attainable do it now from 32 to 40 I mean it would fit under a Board of Health role yeah um based on the the water district but it would alleviate us from having to find
another person for position yeah if the one the one thing that I don't think this person would would be able to to replicate that chain is kind of the off hours emergency stuff
something goes wrong I wouldn't expect a CLI to do that onway right so more there for the would that be would that be the facilities person know that's no water you know
I'm hours yeah I might increase the salary yeah I think it's I think it's possible uh I mean you would add eight so really at this point we don't really know how much it we're estimating how
many hours it might need right I mean the the salary would be for 20 hours a week but I mean 8 hours a week would be a full day um yeah I mean it might be enough I think the facilities thing one
thing that I think needs to be addressed and I see the number here for Academy Hall is that the increased electric cost and it's too much I think to ask the the Historical Society to look into that but the facilties person will be the proper
person to go over there and figure out what the heck is going on Etc maybe they reach out to Mass Save or one of those if that's still around and see what can be done and we're supposed to get I need to follow up there we had that grant that shared Regional grant for the
energy manager MH I mean that's a good spot to start too still like to look at that well usage too I like to look at that well usage over there that's right yeah their first task here here's this building make it more energy efficient I mean somebody
had those numbers right one thing about the well usage and I know I mentioned this to you Craig earlier meeting if it comes up that that's an expens s is there a possibility of converting it over to the district I mean it' be a oneline tie in
to where it comes off of the well the only problem I see is the water district was du was created to fix a problem of contamination I don't know if that fits in that criteria because it's just a usage thing well no I mean those houses
are on there because of the salt contamination just like we connected the northern side of the road for the same salt contamination yeah I mean it's in the geographical area MH but you know the new the new system
should be able to handle it m see it might be something worth looking at expense wise down the road yeah I I'd still like to see what the usage is over there that's the reason why the electric is so high all right you want to wander down and see if they're ready Lauren I guess they're
ready for us down there there you want us to come down there so uh well do we need to go want just adjourn then basically or I mean we're done with our stuff can we can we just adjourn
and probably technically not um because you still have a meeting you still technically be a meeting downstairs we may make decision okay so we're going we're going to go down they will we're going going down to the advisory committee hearing and we'll
adjourn from there and there'll be no other further business other than the budget which we already went through so we'll leave the zoom running and basically come back here to V to zoom running and we just come back here rej
from down there or come back here that's what I'm saying say we can't close can we close the zoom then but not we're not adjuring the meeting but we're closing the zoom portion but we open Zoom before our meeting I think technically we' have to leave it running
okay we'll be back with you maybe maybe the chair will a couple of comments me to update this it's all the same numbers though well except the right but it's the end number yeah
