and people moving around, they'd rather keep it >> Yeah. >> per person as opposed to per community. >> So, if everybody puts it out on the table, then we >> Tara and I did one way and Ken did the the other way. So, I'm going to give you the invoice
number that that's being Let's take the bills for >> Okay. So, we get bills Open next item is open session meeting minutes. >> And that is right here. >> Yeah, I looked at that. I didn't see anything that

>> Yeah. The signing pile. >> The signing pile. >> Mhm. >> And that's it for the signing pile. >> Drum roll for the next item. >> Mhm. What is going to happen here?
>> [snorts] >> So, the next item can is board members to discuss potential vote on reorganization. What do you think? >> I nominate Cindy. >> You could do that. You could do that. You could do it.
>> Yeah, I mean I have no problem staying where I'm doing, but I I just you know, if you want to swap positions, um we could do that as well. >> I don't I don't feel like I'm experienced enough and frankly,
um I would like to know a lot more about patient than I do, but you know, without any any vision in the vision, um yeah. >> So, >> Yeah, it's
it's not really any different than I mean, they're all doing the same thing. Um trying to look at sales, taking all that sales data, putting it in tables, and then valuing the whole town. >> Yeah. >> That's the the down and
>> I I understand I understand the concept, but you know, >> I know you'd be more familiar and >> I'm a nuts and bolts kind of guy and um >> Yeah, yeah. >> And and we can plan that someday for you to come in or even call Vision and uh
see what they have >> I can get back access or something. Yeah. And I don't expect I in fact I would not want priv- uh privileges to author any data. >> Mhm. >> Because I would not
would not want to change anything and then that can happen by accident. >> Yeah. >> Right. Right. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, we don't want to go down that road again. >> So, if the privilege isn't there, hopefully it takes care of itself. >> Right.
Right. >> So, we just yeah, we'll figure that out how to um >> And I know at least with Munis Munis could be set up that way. So, I assume and at Data National I know all of our software work that way. >> Yeah, I I believe you could get a
license on your computer. >> You'd have to read only. >> Yeah, I don't think that's a problem to to do on our personal computer though. >> That's okay. Yeah. >> I could talk to IT too. Well, you probably have a new IT person, his name
is Sam. >> Yeah, I don't know how they do it now. They for a while they were doing it you had a remote desktop into here. >> I do that. >> Then I'd go out but then
Munis Munis had you could have got a you could have installed a client on your computer at home and go straight to Munis. >> It's just a matter of getting a license for that. Like if I have me, I have a license on my computer. So when if I'm home and I want to log in, it's the same
license. I'm going to my computer. Um and I believe we have 1 2 I think we have I think it's five licenses. And we have four and we only have used the counter. Five people. >> Maureen, when Yeah, when we had it in Duxbury, um
they never luckily paid attention to how many licenses we had because I believe I only had five. But there was a time when I think three other people had access to the system. So technically we were kind of using
eight licenses. But somehow I somehow IT was able to give me access and it was just worked. And nobody >> Well, I think and I don't even think I think it's two to five unless they've
changed it. It would be like two to five users. One user is one price. >> Well, I would assume that if they're smart, it's I don't know if they do the person or they just say you have five
licenses for five concurrent. That means five people >> Correct. >> can be logged on at the same time. Number six comes along, they don't get on. So. >> I don't believe it's set up that way. I don't believe
this system is set up that way. At least the IT folks that I had in my prior world, um were able to kind of get around that somehow. But I think that's a conversation Maureen will have with the folks downstairs and get it figured out. >> We can do that.
>> Okay. >> Now, you want to be chair? >> [laughter] >> Yeah. Okay. >> So, you can make a motion. >> I think I did. >> [laughter] >> So, yeah. I think the thing is is we have to motion each other to be in a
position. You know, if you motion me to be chair, then uh Pam will actually record it or Ty will record it in the minutes. >> Okay. I move I move for Steve to serve
as chairman. >> All right. Since you're the only one that can vote on that, I think. I don't know. Can I vote for myself? I guess I'd say yes. >> You can. >> Okay. All right. Okay. So, I'm chair and I motion that Ken Stevens will be vice chair of the
Board of Assessors of Kingston. Second. >> Second. >> All those in favor. >> I. >> [laughter] >> Okay. [clears throat] Um And the next meeting will be on August 11th.
Hopefully nobody has a problem with that. >> Under all of [clears throat] this? >> Perfect and wide open. All right. Uh hearing no objection, I would um motion to end the regular session meeting at 5:44
and move into executive session. Do I hear a second? >> Second. >> All those in favor. >> I. >> I. Good night. >> Good night.
