Um, several years ago, Eric bought um property in a home at 308 Summers Road. And um when he bought the home, it had a violation on it. The person that owned
the property before Eric bought it um was uh using it to um what was he getting? Sand. you know, you're selling sand out of the title five septic sand. Yep. So, um uh the state got involved
with that and then um the owner, Mr. uh Carabetta, had to um hire a wetland scientist who went in and um um he had to change the the uh slopes um where uh
he had dug out to harvest his sand. and um a lot of the vegetation, part of that was in the river protection area. Um so to make a long story short, when Eric bought it, um he was aware that Mr.
Carabetta had a violation on it. Um Eric was not aware of the extent of the violation or um what it would cost to uh rectify the problem.
So he came to the um conservation commission three years ago and he filed a request for determination to do all of the uh work involved with
um uh fixing the slopes and replanting the vegetation and whatnot. The 3 years is just about over. um determinations cannot be extended for another 3 years like um orders of
conditions can from a notice of intent. So um Eric's only uh way of getting this done was to um is to give us another determination of applicability for or a request for determination of
applicability to continue working on his property. and um we received um all of the work that he's going to be doing and if you want to just kick in from there. Yep. So over the last three years I end up redoing the slopes and
everything and I still need to plant a 100 trees, 80 something shrubs and few other things. Um the property's already done. All I need to do is the vegetation and some of the vegetation from the old owner. He had one of his friends come
out and do the area and he went with the cheapest plants and trees possible. And a lot of the trees that are there such as um poison sumac which they want planted and few other trees actually take a lot of water which will
ultimately affect other trees and plants that I'm planting. So, I put in a request to have some of the stuff changed, such as the sumac and a few other trees that aren't really good for the area. So, that's what I'm requesting is to have it extended and to switch
some of the trees to trees that are better for the area and that I would prefer more. Okay. Any questions at all about both? All right. Then we have a um
we should we have a determination of of applicability um to issue to Eric, but you need to um make a motion to issue that to him. And
um it would be a negative determination both of these two and three. So if you want to make a motion I make a motion to present this determination of applicability to change
and then it's a will make a determination as prescribed by section two. The work described is within the area of protection and in section three, it is in the buffer zone.
Second. Okay. All in favor? What is this going to do for him? This will allow him extra time to another change the the plan years. Three years. Three. That was the
original, wasn't it? Yeah. 22 to 20. Yeah. Right. Okay. But you can't renew that first. Okay. I was just trying to follow people. Okay. Okay. So, all in favor? I
I I Any oppos? Would the commission then inspect work done within that period of time? Once it's completed and then we can write it off and post a
file. You sign looking for this. Okay, here's one of them. He gets one of them. One of the copies. Yes. Well, yes. All right. Um the next um uh business is
um Russ Morton um has come in. Um the commission working with the state issued a violation enforcement order um to Russ for um
property on South Ridge Estates. Um it's the reason that Russ got the um enforcement order is because the the property is registered to Russ.
Although he Russ did not do the actual um brush and tree vegetation clearing um in that particular piece of land because he's listed as the owner then he
gets the um enforcement order. Um, you all know the history, but we we received um a call a while ago from Mark Stinson from DP, and he's our circuit
writer, and he um uh informed us that there is work being done up at South Ridge Estates in an area that is designated as a protected area. That's a
um it's a 13 acres, something like that. Well, no, it's seven, I think. Well, I don't know if you have the right. It's pretty Well, this isn't the this is the whole I mean, you have to in Well,
change. Well, anyway, it yeah, the um so you all have a copy of that and you could see um and the copy machine wasn't really doing a good job on this,
but you can see where um the land has now been um cleared for um it's um this lot that um the people live here and they've cleared all
in there and and some of this couple as well have participated in clearing some of that property. Um and that is a violation of the original orders of conditions.
The state sent me two photos and again I I think you have copies of them. Um yes. Yeah, back here. One of them um shows the property in 2019
and um there isn't any clearing at all in any of that property. And then this one was um June 2nd, 2025. And you can definitely see where a
section of that property has been cleared. Uh the um all this protected orders of conditions, the original orders of conditions for this for this property
um number 23 and 24 23 in the orders um which Russ had at the time um registered down at the registry of deeds. At no time, present or future, is there to be any disturbance within the wetland boundary
as shown on the submitted site plan. If erosion into the BBW occurs, all work shall stop and the conservation commission immediately notified by the environmental scientist. Once remediation and additional mitigation measures have been put in place and
approved by the conservation commission, a notice to proceed will be issued by the commission. And then 24, the border of the resource areas and limit of work areas on the site shall be clearly marked in the field by stakes or flags
at 25 ft intervals surveyed and recorded on the plan. Offset stakes shall be identified by installing 10 ft pressuret treated 4x4 by 10 um 4T into the ground and painted a color acceptable to the
commission. Um, now like that. Obviously the stakes are gone because the original orders were um back in the '9s. And so where we are now is that um up at
South Ridge Estates, there is a a section of um protected land up there that um is not supposed to be touched. It's not supposed to have any um vegetation removed from it. It's to
remain in its natural state. And one or two of the um residents decided to go into Russ's property and clear some of it. Some of you have this in your folder. This is a
picture of all of the wetlands included in that um large parcel. the homes that we're talking about is um this one and in particular this one where they um cleared quite a lot of um land. This
parcel also has um a designated detention pond, but in speaking to both our former um highway department person, Dana Pixley, and the newer one, Mark, um
the highways never gone into any of the detention ponds in town and cleaned them out. So that the detention pond went back to its natural state because no one um has cleaned it since it was built in
what 88 90 something like that. Um so that is all also natural um uh resource area. So that's where we are. Um and uh Russ is here fortunately um to
talk to us. So go ahead, Russ. Yeah, could be. No. Um, well, I I've heard I think I pay my tax said Eva said you were looking for me. That was maybe three, four weeks ago. I came
down, handed me a bunch of paperwork and like I told you then, I had been down in that area 10, 15, long time. Yeah. So I did I did walk down there after and then I came back and reported to you and told you basically what I found and at that point
that time point in time probably two weeks ago first meetings probably a month ago. Um, I I think I asked if you had a site visit out there, if you inspected the area, and I don't mean from like a distance, but I think the
first time you guys went out there was on a complaint by a new neighbor from 500 ft away. So, have you guys gone out for a site visit? Having gotten permission? Well, she gave you permission, but you couldn't get
through the Well, I I understand that, but you were going to try to get I I actually did call I called one of the the pums. Um I left a message about two weeks ago on their u message machine explaining
that the commission wanted to go out onto the property um just to uh take some pictures and look at it. and they never got back to me. Didn't call back. I think there's probably I mean there might be a little bit of my property.
There's a detention area. I think the um I don't know how people I know the perms are nice people. Couple of the other neighbors that have done cutting. I I really don't know couple houses over the last few years. Yeah. But I did notice
they there are people cutting in those areas if the trees down. I don't know if you got but my suggestion would be I mean at least I remember 25 30 years ago you could have two sight visits a week go out to people's property so I my
suggestion would be that you look into it a little further because I'm not going to start knocking on people's doors asking for cut brush cut trees blah blah blah but it's on your property well there could be some but you know if you want to get a surveyor up there it's
pretty confusing confusing if you walk up there. Um I'd say some is on her lot number 11 which used to a new neighbor. I don't know. I think that people
most of it's on your property though property you you on. Oh, it's definitely because they have your permission, right? They have your permission. Who us? To the commission. Yeah. Gave body permission. Yeah. Do you think you get as close as particular? The problem is
it is landlocked. No, it's not. Well, I mean, you have to get permission. You don't do that. Last time I explained it. I don't have the right away to clean out that gives you the right to go walk up and down that right away. There's two rightways. I know there is on each side
of the property. So, there's no issues. That's these little right there. The problem with that being from the street it's a matter of I mean all you got to do is walk 300 ft the area you're talking about. I think that have people more knowledgeable what they're talking
about. I know if there was like a murder committed there they would walk down to the actual location. You're looking at stuff from 400 feet away shooting arrows at me saying I cut the trees. I haven't been down there in 10 15 years. Yeah. I don't know. No I don't know. been
ongoing. If I know there was a lot of thrust and triggers and stuff like that, you know, because when the detention basins were left, I left them all seieved in. A lot of that area was seized in, but it was never maintained by the town. From it's their it's their
responsibility, not mine. From what we could see when we looked at it from a distance, it it appears that somebody in one of those houses is clearing that to make room for animals or farming or
whatever they want to do. That's what it looks like. From a distance. From what distance? That was from that other neighbor. I agree. Well, no, we walked up. We walked into the detention pond. Yeah, we were past the detention pond. pass it. Yeah. Up on the burm of it
around the edge of it. You should actually go No, I don't disagree with you on that. All your common sense protocol. That's what I would suggest. I don't disagree. And I would suggest possibly to a couple of the neighbors, but you know, I asked the former developer, Southridge Estates, who was
the owner, wasn't me, was Southridge Associates. um you know I was part of don't want to show um they you don't want to show when when they got the road approved in the conservation
25 at that point I know they have to be I understand that but um as far as survey a lot of that is not even on my property a lot
makers and wrestle. Beyond that, I I really know there was at one time after 19 there was a bunch of this property to find many of those. If you go up, there's really nothing. You want to see
this picture here? This is the Yeah, I've seen that a number of times. Yeah. And this is this is your property here. Well, some where it's been cleared. Well, whatever. This is the protected area. probably less than half. But okay, whatever. Nobody irrelevant.
And nobody here is blaming you. We know who is doing I would say there was three other two other property owners that own and the town that own you know it's probably a four or five acre area there. The detention based
on the acre. The adjacent lots are probably acre and then some that falls into the seven acre lot. But as the land owner is owned, you are responsible. It's actually not owned by me. Owned by
a land trust. A family land trust. Do we have that name? Who's the land? The tax. I get my tax bill over here. What is it? Does it say the name of the land trust? Uh yeah, I would say um Morton Land
Trust. It's what? More than Land Trust. So the original and harder conditions or under salvation is a completely different company. Well, what's different? Yes. Well, I mean, land transfers ownership, but I
mean, you're you're talking about oral conditions that were issued and approved um 25 years ago, but they were registered and and they were there to protect this land. Yes. I'm not in disagreement with that,
but I think you we got to be a little more precise on I think you if you want to hold a site visit and can get some kind of survey to see whose land it's on because it's mostly from what I can see. I walked up there a second time. It's
mostly on the house next to um perm. I think that was my guess that it it was the house right before that. You know, there's no visible pins or you know the only the
only point of uh is the um is out building up the u herms that have a red you can see from the picture. That's the only really point you can use for a locust, you know, but you know the lots
jog all around the detention bond. The detention pond is very large and which is in that picture. So that's the towns. Yeah. Well, we know that. Yeah. So, I mean, my
suggestion would be to if you want to get to the bottom, there's just have a site visit, speak to a couple neighbors, see what's going on because I Well, the neighbors aren't are not on their land helping us. Well, how would that not
help? I mean, the params, you know, we asked, can we go through your property to go to all the cleared property, and they never even answered us back. Well, that's sort of your court buying, but he's given you permission to go on his
property. So, this is his property. Yeah. Some of it is until we get it served, right? But some of it doesn't matter. It's if some is then it's on your property and it's your responsibility that Yeah. But some of it
is find out who it isn't including. We don't know if the part that isn't is in violation yet. Well, oh then that's a cause that's no other. Right. So my suggestion I will meet you up there anytime you know in the next few days
after that I might not be here after you know next week you know when I have something and then I could be or or after that I'm going away for a few days so I would wouldn't be able well I'm I'm gone all
weekend anyways can't but I well they I mean we could certainly go out there and look again but the responsibility to make contact with the two neighbors. If you tried, they're not. How can I do that? The same way we can go knocking. We can go knocking on their door and we
can talk to them. We can walk down the rightway and take a look at the property. And if you go, but according to this diagram right here, the majority of the cleared land is on your property. Therefore, you are responsible for the clearing. No matter who did it, it's on
your property. Yeah. So if we need to get a a surveyor in there, we will do that. He he should do that. Well, he will charge him for it. One of those violations on the door of the other adjacent neighbors if you can't reach them by phone. They do it they do it all
the time in Maine. They put notice of violation to a property owner if they're if their properties have can't reach. We'd have to be able to get back to the behind those properties to make sure it's a violation on those properties. We
don't know exactly. I think we can use the right away then. No, no, I just mean do what she think that there's a violation on those properties. We know it is on his property, right? Our bylaw says we can
go on property. I I pointed that out in our bylaws. Yes. I don't know what the contention is that we can't buy by by our bylaws. Yeah. As long as you have on your vest. I don't want to get shot. Wants to get confrontational. Fine. I'll be confrontational. But I mean, we don't
need permission. No one needs permission. I mean, I was personally impressed by the permission. Sounds like someone's taking advantage of him as well. I think I had um my attorney right that that I need like 24 hours or for you know so much notice before I mean
I'll go on my property anytime with anybody but I sometimes I can't do it like that you know numerous nobody can yeah I I have numerous pieces of property in town numerous we know I can't believe every one of them if somebody decides to cut trees I don't
know you know I don't know for 10 years later I we understand that and that is we know that that in this case also we know that it isn't you but I could have been living in Florida the last 10 years right I mean I can't I can't I mean I
have literally hundreds and hundreds of acres we do know that this pieces of you personally that did this we've taken advantage of haven't walked down there for probably 10 years the entire
so then I believe our next steps are to do a site visit. Yeah, we need to go and if there is a dispute as to property lines, we will get a surveyor. Yeah, I think that's the smartest way to see, you know, and I'm not not Well, I don't want to charge you for that. I can see
it's Yeah, some of it's on I'd say half of it's on their property, half of it's on my property. How many How many of the day are there that are there? One day more than neighbors I think there's two properties. Yeah, I think there's two
others besides large 10 A and 11A. Yeah. So, and and it's the way the property line jogs around there. It's really the second time I went up there and other than having the red roof shed there. It's worth surveying and sounds like to me the red roof is kind of in the middle
of that brown. And and it looks like the top property, the the one that has that red building on it is not doing any clearing of that land. It is the adjacent property on property 11A. Right. Lot 11 A. That is
that extends into their property. The clearing So it looks like they here and went that way. Exactly. Y as Bonnie referred to 13 acres. It's not a 13 acre. It doesn't matter. Yeah, it doesn't matter. It's
what it is. that two or three times. Well, if it's been changed, aren't the surveys recorded? Aren't they? Yeah, they're all recorded. And it's all this is I don't think that happened at this right now. No, I just
the original in the original plan and all of this land was surveyed. That's how that's how Russ knew originally to put in the um stakes so that no one would would uh go into that property.
So there's clearing here and we included in the in the violation Russ the new stakes that we depends on how yeah it depends on the new the new stakes that we require now that was included in your
violation. You have this. But that's the pond right there. It was included in the original one, wasn't it? Well, this was included in the one that was sent. So there is
That's what I No, your new violation, your enforcement order. Yeah. Yes. has this page in it which is like when your when your subdivision went in, we were just using um uh pressuret treated
states. Right. Right. That have since disintegrated. Well, now this is what the conservation commission requires for anybody that has wetlands on their um property to mark that area permanently.
So, and that's why I included that in the violation in the enforcement order. So, whenever we get to the point of actually working on this and fixing it, it's here. It's all here. What needs to
be done? This is the the lines are not really, huh? Rough idea. And this is that little jug. This is where the red building is. 500. in the end and doz. So the clearing is being down here. I still like I said I have
numerous people being on South Road and that's why I asked you because a lot of it seems like it just could get I mean now maybe within 50 ft the clearing on this propert by this neighbor
you have a picture of it wetland has like a red roof that's right there but Yes. You have a survey or right this one over here. Right. So, but still this is Well, that's that wouldn't be our
problem. Yes. You you would have to hire the surveyor, not not the commission. So, this is I'm not planning on spending a lot of money on something I had nothing to do with. Well, so I I don't
know. I guess it can't stay there. First step is what you know go let's have a site visit and then see what would request in front of the neighbor most likely. No I I mean I'm not a
rocket science but I don't think someone from Springfield came up and No. If if one of these neighbors is clearing something on your property I think it's up to you to go after them to get it fixed. Well I'm not going to start suing neighbors. I'm just saying. But then it
would fall on you because you own it. Well, let's have a site visit and see what we're really talking about. Clearing in the When I remember when I was there, they finished the subdivision 20 years ago. I was going to kind of open and
grab. Well, I'm gone. No, I'm gonna finish. Okay. Well, the state sent us Russian trees that were taken. I I really don't as it continues. Well, the state sent us um picture from uh September 18th
2019 and it was all vegetated and then they sent the newest one and it's storm gone. This is not what they're doing. No, this is not not they had they had heavy movers equipment movers when I was there. They're looking at it on the
property on your property. They had they had earth movers move. When was this? When did we do that? What? Couple months ago. Two or three months ago. Earth movers meaning back like bulldozers and things like that.
Did I call Why didn't you bring it over here? I don't remember it. I think I'm pretty sure it was, but I didn't take any pictures so I have no proof. Was this just you or anyone else? Me and him. The two of us were there. So, a bulldozer. I think so, but I have no
proof. I didn't take pictures. It's a moot point, but it was equipment. Whose property? We We don't know. Well, we don't know. Well, that's that that's where we keep coming back to. We don't know where the and I don't know where the machine was
exactly, but the clearing the clearing is on your property. It's clearly on your property. Are you available on the 23rd on Monday? Are we available on 23rd? Is that after this weekend? Yeah, that's No, like I said earlier in the meeting,
I said Saturday morning, but after that I'm No, I'm gone Saturday. Um, three or four days and then I could meet the end of next week. Yes. Thursday. Friday. I can't do Friday. Thursday. Thursday. Thursday of next
week. 26th. You'd be back by then? Thursday would work. What time? Any late? Anytime. Anytime. Pick Pick a time. We don't I don't What do you mean like 56? I don't know if you want want to go that late. I don't know earlier. Yeah. I I
during the day. Yeah. I still actually just have D. Yeah. Likewise. Thursday the 24th. 26th. I mean, can you make that, Eric? Yeah. I'm good on that day. I don't care what time.
23rd at 3:00 in the afternoon. 26. 26. 26. What time? At 3:00 in the afternoon. Does it work for you? Is that Thursday? Yes. Yeah. You just have to double check my calendar, but I think that should work. I I don't have my calendar. Sure. Well,
if it doesn't, give me a call tomorrow. And no, town hall's closed. 3:00 Thursday. Call me Monday and let me know. Oh, yeah. Tomorrow's a holiday. Well, town hall's closed tomorrow. It's closed Friday. Can you get email at home? Yeah,
if you send it to conservation, she Yeah, you can send it to conservationhammma.gov and I I can pick that up at home. My email up right now. I have to like just call and leave a message and Yeah, I could leave a message. That's right. Just call it Monday. Check it. Call the
office. You know, I haven't. All right. When I heard you were looking for me, I came down that day when I was, you know, tenatively. I've been in here. Well, we're not we're not blaming you. Two meetings with you in the last month and suggesting the same things I suggested tonight. I mean, if if we're really
going to know what we're talking about, we got to look at the site. Yes. On the site. I don't disagree with that. Some bulldozer. I mean, maybe I haven't. Well, the bulldozer is on a different model. What's the address? Talking about bulldozer. That's Oh, that's a pretty
large area of land. I think you might be confused. Made it to what is his name? Scott at the end of the road. Yes. Scott Thomas. Yes. Oh, you used to play baseball, Ryan. Nope. That was my evil twin. Any There is. Yeah. Okay. But it's not
on that lot. Okay. No, I maybe not. Maybe not. I I like I said the problem. Me, too. We'll go look at it. We'll nail it down. Well, I did.
I don't know. We'll couldn't tell. Let's get a little more knowledge. We can't. Yeah, exactly. We'll go find out next Thursday. Yeah, but the cleared area is clearly on your property. That's an address. If we just meet at the culdeac, which is
end of the street. Yep. Right. And go look at the scenery and go uh and then we'll go down. Russ, what's the people's name that that are living in the the newer people that live in the house with the two rightways on each side of the property? Do you
know their name? Rightways? No, I knew the original Bertha. I know Bertha, but they've I think he's got it right here. Michael Frell. It's listed on the assessor's. How do you spell the last name? It's F A
R E L L 17 Sridge. That's 11A. A lot 11 A. Yeah. And I have their cell phone, too, which I'll give it to you. The rightways is really either side here of that property. Is the commission
going to make contact with a couple of the neighbors prior to Thursday? We will attempt to contact them. Yeah. I think it'd be helpful. If not, then we'll just take the right away. Yeah. And and if they shoot at us, then we'll duck. Right. And we'll we can send them a
notice saying that we're going to be there. Yeah. They want to be and they'll make arrangements. If not, they can go hide. I mean, can I see them? I Yeah. As soon as you hear from Russ about confirming
that, I would send the notice to those neighbors. Okay. Just a a note. No, that's good. Be there and you have to let them know. Yeah, that's all. Oh, not really. You don't really have to. We have permission courtesy. We have permission, but good, but it's not legally not required, right? Just prefer
they know that we're going to be there and not get so they don't call the police on us. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Do we need to tell the the local authority that we're going to be exercising our right to access property?
You can tell what you family. Yeah. No. Why not? Oh, I could. He's retiring. I mean, he got He has a couple more weeks. He's Oh, well, he'll be our chief of He's still in charge, right? Just in case someone calls. Yeah, I
could let Scott know. Sure. FYI, I know we're going to be exercising our right. No, that's a good idea. Yep. Now, just a one quick uh six of you. I know Bonnie. No, they're all is you're on the commission.
Official commission is Scott, myself, and Greg. Okay. The secretary. The other three I'm an associate. Okay. These three are associates. Gentlemen was for summer road. Yes. So, he's not on the commission. He potentially associate. He's an associate. He will be
on the commission. Should I join? I asked you that years ago. We're too receptive. Uh, I can call you and leave you a message tonight or tomorrow, you know, on the regime. I I'd say 90% unless there's some medical issues,

Real nice. The views are a nice view. Yeah. Don't get sucked into the property though. From a very It's a culde-sac at the end and then there is one, two, it's a third house down on the left from the culdeac. They're
going to meet at the culdeac. Yeah, we'll just meet at the Yeah, we'll meet there and then we'll we'll all go, you know, then we'll go together and what? Meet here? No, at the cul. Okay. So, right now it's Thursday the 26 at

know. Yeah. It's going to ruin the concert. That's Yes, I know. Yeah. All right. We uh I'd like everybody to grab the um minutes from the meeting last week. I got to get I have to get you too
rushing. I was here. You're not a number. I know, but she wasn't. Was it Wendy here? Um, [Music] I don't understand it.
Do not disturb Marcus at zero road. you would be contacting the contractor. What? No, I went by there and and the um silt fence was down
on Zero Wilberham Road and then when I went by a couple days later, it appeared that the um silk fence was back up. Oh, okay. Did you notice that? Cuz you pass it all the time. Yeah. Is that the garage? Uh no, that's the house on top
of the hill. past the hill. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. They're they're doing a lot of work there. I've been walking the daily. And the garage is Yeah. The garage is half. It's there. That's the roof on. Yeah. They they they put the roof on. Yeah. I don't know. I went by today. Day or two. Okay. Yep. I mean, you know, just the rough framing. I think they
were singling or something today. Oh, yeah. Okay. So the markers are not up. The 25 ft markers are not up. I what I meant by that was that it wasn't the 25 foot. It was the silt fence. Okay. Okay.
The total protection had fallen or whatever. Right. Is that what you noticed? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There was a lot of activity there recently. It was probably the seat from one of the storms or something, but it's back. Well, they know. I talked
to the contractor when I made the second visit and I told them I live right across the street, so I'd be watching. Yeah. and so on. Now, in our orders of conditions, they did have to put the um they
remember we approved large boulders rather than the markers. Could you go up there and see if it only when they're working because they got it all fenced off? Yeah. But I don't know if they're at that point to
put them up yet. But yeah, you have a um I can look it up in their file. Do you have a number to call the contractor? I I probably do somewhere. Yeah, I'll look it up. I don't want to just walk in while they're working because I need a hard head or something, right? All that kind
of stuff. I've been motioning all evening. I think it's somebody else's. I make a motion to accept the minutes from the last meeting. I like you. Yes, you did.
Got that? Yeah. Now, one of the other things I included in the um meeting notice was um um a discussion on appointing an interim chair until November um because Wanda's supposed to come back
in November. Now, I don't I don't mind doing all all the work, but we really need a name. We need a name. So, um that's all I need is a name. I don't
need anybody. You got a name for It's funny. All the all the eyes went white this way. T H O M. Yeah, I I said that last week. If you You will do that. Yeah. Okay. Why don't you make that a motion? I
motion that we accept Tom's voluntary decision to become the interim chair until such time as Wenda returns. It's only until November. That's fine.
She in Alaska yet? Does anyone know? Somebody second that. Second. Think she's on her way. She drive. Did we hear from the um the select board about Eric becoming a
full member in August? I sent them a letter for Eric and Joe. Um, and I sent it uh yesterday and um they really the select men we can
appoint as many associates as we want, right? They they don't have any say in it as far as you know you can but but in here you said you want to make him a full member. Oh, full August 1st full associate. Okay. Yeah. Gotcha. Gotcha.
Gota. So, um I did send them you I gave a a little paragraph about each guy and um if you want to become a commissioner later then you can take that up and get that. Sounds good. So,
so anyway, so you and Eric are on as associate members um until August 1st. I'm going to um start working on the selectman like mid July to make sure that um at one of their first August
meetings they can do that because members have to be appointed by the select men. Um and they're going through some changes right now. Yeah. Too. So yeah, they're going to be voting on a new one uh Monday, right? Right. Monday.
Yeah. So um that could all change. Yeah, I think that could all change. the selectment still two others that are there. Yeah. Just one just one's going to be different. Yep. Because part of the problem um that
we've had is that um for the last year anyway, we've had four full-time members. one of the members um is traveling 90% of the time like for month two months at a time so that when
it comes to having our meetings voting we wouldn't have a quorum because there was four and if there if the other three showed up but if somebody couldn't show up and there was only two two out of four well that's kindergarten math I
mean that's not a quorum so um the one that is traveling all the time. We asked her to step down to be an associate member so that we would be guaranteed a um quorum. So now with with you two
hopefully going on full-time in August, then we'll have five members, which would be much easier to a quorum at every meeting. That would actually be two people that would didn't have to be here. Yeah. So, um, that's why we did
that. Does anybody have anything else that they want to discuss? So, my term is up this summer. Do I just uh if I want to speak? You're not allowed to leave. Just say, um, do I need to go back to the board or anything
or No, no. I'll talk to Eva because Eva is the one that does the little papers you get. Uh, yeah. I mean, right? I do have that paper. I thought it was uh the select the selectman. Well, the
selectman um Well, either way, but like you said, the selectman, they're going to be in a little bit of Yeah. Well, I just What Lauren? I just talked to her. Yeah. She'll do it. Just send a notice and
just send a notice to Lauren. Yeah. Yeah, I'll do that. All right. It should probably just ask you do you want to continue and then you say yes. Yeah. Might even have to take that opening. Well, yeah. We're all supposed to do
that every now. Yeah. We're all supposed to be get sworn at by Eva in in Oh, thank you for uh extending that. Yeah. Why not? Anyone have any idea about the moving of the offices?
Oh, that's just an aside. I was just November. Yeah, they're still talking November. Yeah, they were hoping October, but it sounds like November when I talked to Lauren today. There's a lot that has to happen in order to do that, though. You're doing all the IT
stuff, aren't you? As far as I know. Yeah. Um Ruth had a suggestion to me today. I'm trying to think what it was. Oh, we want to in the gym. That's not it. I can't do that. It gets
hot and humid there. Yeah. Warm in there today. I think that's going to get shot down this year, they've got they've got a lot of money that they need to spend. Oh, yeah. There's Yeah, it'll be good, though. Oh, it'll
