Part: 1

1
00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:19.439
Okay, let's call our meeting to order audit. First order of business, we have a hearing on a varian request for clearing file room. Mr. Grady, sir. >> Hi, my name is Max Capola uh with Grady

2
00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:36.320
Consulting. We're presenting our client uh Buzz Artiano at 11 Clearing Farm Road. Um we are requesting a variance to the 800 square foot um requirement for a leeching field uh for the proposed accessory dwelling unit on the property.

3
00:00:36.320 --> 00:01:03.440
Um page here to see a zoomed in view here. Um so as you can see uh we proposed the Thank you. Thank you. >> Over separate to the left of the accessory dwelling unit. And in order

4
00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:21.200
um for us to have attached it to the existing um leashing field, they would have had to cross a water line, rip up uh pavement, and rip up this front yard. So, we thought it was more reasonable uh to propose it by itself over here. Um,

5
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:39.439
and to have it be uh 800 square ft for a two-bedroom um uh accessory dwelling unit uh we felt was um over oversizing it a little too much. >> Single bedroom single bedroom in the ADU

6
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:54.320
or two? >> It's two. >> Two. >> It's two bedroom. It's a two-bedroom ADU, Buzz. >> Two bedroom ADU, >> one bath. >> Yes. >> And how many square feet of leech you get? >> Uh, we have uh 434 ft of

7
00:01:54.320 --> 00:02:12.640
>> Okay. Um, anybody have any questions? >> I think it sounds quite reasonable. >> The only reason I brought in besides the reduction in build size is there's a grading even on the property. So, um, just letting everybody know that. Other

8
00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:28.400
than that, I think it makes more sense to obviously undersize the field, >> right? >> I would entertain a motion to accept the variance with no further expansion. So, moved. >> There you go. Somebody would second that. I think we could wind this up.

9
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:45.680
>> I'll just second that. >> Okay. All in favor? >> Good with that. Very good. bringing your dad home >> hopefully. >> Good luck. >> So, if you're thinking about building an ADU, don't wait too long cuz when you

10
00:02:45.680 --> 00:03:00.640
need it, you need it. >> You need it quicker. >> Y Good point. >> Good luck with everything. >> Thank you. >> You'll be missed. >> I'll let it takes me less time to put this away. >> Okay, moving on.

11
00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:16.920
>> We're just passing that variance paper around to be signed, but that's so moving on. Has anybody had a chance to take a look at the bills? >> We decided not to give it to him. Remember the last meeting? >> No, that was your

12
00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:53.840
memory. >> So, everybody seeing the bills have a good night. >> Have a great night. Thanks, Michael. >> Okay. You have any signs? >> We have some minutes. >> Dennis, we had a minute from the meeting of March 2nd. Everyone was here.

13
00:03:53.840 --> 00:04:10.080
>> Yeah, I moved to accept the minute that March 2nd had presented. >> Second. >> Second by Carol. Anybody have any questions, additions, changes? >> Hearing none as always, Lori. Thank you. >> Yeah, thank you.

14
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:25.919
>> She's all in favor. >> Hi. >> Hi. >> Hi. >> Hi. >> Okay, Joy, what do you got? >> Um, so septic has been picking up. It's not

15
00:04:25.919 --> 00:04:41.600
crazy, but it's definitely gaining some moment. The weather is broke. Um, we are due to get more tickets in through part of the grant. We are working to

16
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:57.040
um on getting hazmat training as part of the grant for because we're responsible as health agents for all this hazmat stuff, but yet the state provides no training for us. Um, so as part of the grant, we're looking to get one of the

17
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:12.639
heset guys from the Brockton State Fire, I can't think of the right word, company or whatever, but >> the state fire marshall's office part of the hazmat team is supposedly going to

18
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:26.800
come and do some training for the six towns in the grant, but we'll probably open it up to other health agents in the near vicinity. for the marrier it's a fee one fee so the more people we can get trained the

19
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:43.199
better um in addition the Kingston will be housing housing hosting the housing training for tier three which I'm a part of so for the in the end of April into

20
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:59.039
May and June once a week for like five weeks uh we'll be conducting the training here so it works out well for me I don't have to Um and that will conclude my

21
00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:14.880
training in the for the to the to meet the state housing inspection coursework for the new safe 2.0. Um so as that proceeds I'll let you know uh tobacco hearings. um wanted to let

22
00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:32.160
you know that I have spoken with MHA and the tobacco specialists and that I will send all the documents that they have provided me the guidance documents. So the only purpose of this hearing that we are having is not as we all have already

23
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:48.240
discussed no fines can be remitted or excused. That's the state people that were um cited have to pay that. The only thing that this board could do would be to not

24
00:06:48.240 --> 00:07:03.360
have them lose their license for the allotted time period. I will send you the documents and you all obviously will make that decision when you hear the hearing. To my knowledge, I think we only have one of the three businesses coming. We haven't heard back

25
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:19.120
from anybody else. Right. At last time I checked, there's just one. >> Just the one that is a definite >> and that's the Brazilian point. Correct. and they're supposed to be selling their business. And so, um, I believe that's probably at least in part why they want

26
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:35.440
to get this taken care of because imagine it's going to >> do their due diligence before they process the sale. >> Well, and the new owners came in to, you know, look at our stuff and we informed them that they are up for a hearing so

27
00:07:35.440 --> 00:07:51.680
to be aware of it because it will pass to the, you know, this doesn't go away, >> right? So that that's where we're at with the tobacco. Like I said, I will send that out to everybody. So please check your email so that you can read it prior to the hearing. Um >> you lost a little bit there. So there's

28
00:07:51.680 --> 00:08:07.759
a tobacco housing hearing. Did you reference? No. No. That's a training. >> Oh, that's >> You guys all have tobacco hearing for the three >> right >> businesses that had non-compliance, >> right? Okay. >> Complaints.

29
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:25.199
>> Okay. They have a right to have an appeal hearing. >> Okay. >> The problem is the only thing that you could possibly do is wave the loss of right to sell cigarettes for whatever the time is that you guys deemed was appropriate. So

30
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:40.560
>> um as far as um >> All right. So just just so refreshing my memory on this. So that was what we got last week and all the >> I mean I'm sorry last at at our last meeting we got that report from the state

31
00:08:40.560 --> 00:08:56.880
>> for the report. I didn't get it yet. So I have all the paperwork. I had to talk to people at the state. >> Okay. So we haven't seen that yet. Is that correct? >> No. That's why I'm going to email it to everybody. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Just I want everybody to have it. You can read it for the meeting. >> Okay. >> So that we uh can conduct the hearing

32
00:08:56.880 --> 00:09:15.040
correctly. All it comes down to is that they don't want us to have monetary discretion on the fines. They being the state. That's what it really comes down to. >> So they're saying we can no longer forgive or alter the fine structure for

33
00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:32.240
those offenses. Right. However, we can if it if a if a a suspension of the license to sell is attached to the fine, >> we can address that. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Yep. >> There you go. >> Great. >> Okay.

34
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:46.399
>> Um >> but that money that money still comes to the town, right? >> No. No. No. >> Goes to the state. >> I thought they told us that it went to the town. estate the one that runs the inspections and they have to pay for the inspector and the investigations and

35
00:09:46.399 --> 00:10:03.680
>> I'm not I can't tell you for sure if the money >> it gets paid here >> so I don't know if it goes into the general fund >> back to the state I don't know >> it goes into the general fund I don't mean it doesn't go to the us I said to the town even though the state does the

36
00:10:03.680 --> 00:10:20.880
work the the fine goes to the town >> the state doesn't really do the work part of the grant is that we pay Bob Colette from the tobacco coalition to perform our inspections, our undercover inspections.

37
00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:37.440
>> So, it's it's part of the grant. >> Okay. >> But he works for the state is the tobacco collaborative. And the reason we do that, that's all he does. He knows the right way to do it. He knows what the rules are. I don't have time to groom an 18-year-old on how to go buy a

38
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:53.839
pack of cigarettes and go out with them because you have to be present when this happens. >> Yeah. >> So, it's it's just it's better for the town, better for the department. >> It's more cost efficient. >> Oh, yeah. >> Well, and it's in liability wise, it's it takes everything. We're not trying to

39
00:10:53.839 --> 00:11:10.800
set anybody up because I don't even know when the um inspections I mean I know they'll say, "Hey, we're going to be doing inspections, but they sound like they call and say, "Hey, this Saturday we're going out to do inspections." I don't I get after the fact I get who didn't comply and who did.

40
00:11:10.800 --> 00:11:27.600
>> So, it kind of takes any um chance of being accused of not being indiscriminate. So, >> okay. >> It's just better for us. Um, and then I do have a flyer to show you. We will be

41
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:44.480
we've been working Annie the nurse has been working with the school. So, this will be >> hosted by Carol Beck and um they have a smaller FL I just printed this out so you can see >> PBS sponsoring it. >> Yep. Well, they do if you're the parent

42
00:11:44.480 --> 00:12:00.399
you scan this, you make your appointments. It's a way because Carol doesn't want to have the vaccine clinics at the because we often do it at the school, but they don't want it. I'm not getting into why. I don't know and I don't care. >> I'm not pushing for something somebody doesn't want.

43
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:16.000
>> So, they're going to provide this as information. I'm also going to um approach Sue Woodward tomorrow because I'll see her at managers meeting and let her know that we have this and that they are open to the option of having one at at the

44
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:32.639
fields or at the rec center whatever as a means to get people vaccinated especially the upcoming camp and um summer programs where sometimes the vaccine vaccines are required to attend. >> Try to do it make it easy. >> Back might want to push that on there.

45
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:48.480
Um, >> we will push this as on the website, >> but we have a PDF we can send them should they want to send it out the way they send out so many beautiful notifications on a regular basis. >> Yep. And that way it gets posted. We'll

46
00:12:48.480 --> 00:13:04.000
put it on our Facebook feed on our website. >> Um, also dealing with, you know, it may potentially even get posted in the library. >> Is it going to be at the rec? Yeah,

47
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:18.639
>> I'm going to talk to Sue Woodward tomorrow and Donald Cologne tomorrow at the manager's meeting about having them post it because I literally just got this over the weekend. >> Cut off the presses, right? >> Over the weekend. >> Great. >> Um

48
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:34.880
and then um the the rest of it, the the we address the food inspection postings and the um retail food service. I just have some questions about a few things, but I think it's better tabled for another meeting. >> Okay.

49
00:13:34.880 --> 00:13:54.160
>> If that is acceptable to everybody. >> That's fine. >> Okay. >> And then I have the nurs's report if you want me to just kind of highlight what's been going on. >> Yeah, that's fine. >> Okay. So, basically told you about Carol

50
00:13:54.160 --> 00:14:13.120
Beck um in CVS. So that's done. Uh we met with Plymouth County outreach and we are working on getting sandboxes for any of the town buildings that want them. Um and then AEDs. We're also working on getting AEDs supplied whoever needs them

51
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:30.160
in the town built town building wise. >> Um she has completed her um CPR training. So we're going to be working on doing our first one doing it with the COA staff so that we can kind

52
00:14:30.160 --> 00:14:44.880
of get our feet wet in a small way. So the three of us will be providing that class. Um uh she also Annie also submitted uh application for certification for the clinical laboratory improvement amendments so

53
00:14:44.880 --> 00:15:01.760
that um when she's doing um sugar the insulin tests and cholesterol and that there's a whole procedure we need to go through and so she's already put the applications in. we know what we need to get as far as

54
00:15:01.760 --> 00:15:18.800
meters because it has to be a multi-user meter. Um so she's done that. She's also um per got clea that's the name of this organization that certifies us all the certifications for what the meters that

55
00:15:18.800 --> 00:15:34.959
we're going to use. So that's done. She's starting work on planning and health fair and she has completed more trainings on TB tick born diseases and um because they're all reportable to maven so she's been doing she's like a

56
00:15:34.959 --> 00:15:50.880
little machine whatever training she can get her hands on >> she's quite she's awesome >> that is amazing to have somebody just come in >> they do their work they ask questions when it's appropriate and they just go to town and do what they need to get Okay. So,

57
00:15:50.880 --> 00:16:08.160
>> great. That's it for me. >> Okay. >> Before you say that, anything from Janet Wade? >> Um, she's doing her Kingston women group, so I get updates on that, but it's not directly necessarily related to this department. She did provide a a new

58
00:16:08.160 --> 00:16:24.639
updated resource list, which is helpful. We put it in our book of resources and so when people call, we have the ability to provide that. So, that's been good. Um, I haven't met with her because she was out of town for a little bit. I think she was visiting family and then I

59
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:39.360
was out and so we just haven't, you know, we email back and forth, but I haven't met with her. So, I'm guessing probably by the end of the month I'll have a meeting with her. >> So, have you heard of this new group? >> So, I'm Kingston Women helping Kingston Women. >> Yes.

60
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:55.600
>> Yes. Yeah, I'm on. Yes. Yes. >> You're going to report on it? >> Oh, I Oh, >> yes. >> Okay. Well, I didn't we don't >> You're gonna talk about it. >> So, I wasn't able to go to the last meeting. I had a commitment this past Friday. I went to the initial meeting

61
00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:13.439
which was very instructive for me. I sort of learned about things happening on Kingsland I had no idea were happening. Um and so that's that's really good and it and it is looking at um what it is that will help improve the quality of health of um or quality of

62
00:17:13.439 --> 00:17:29.200
life of people living here in kings specifically women to women were a lot of focus on older women um and a couple of issu couple of areas that were identified pretty quickly were um lack of transportation options in the time if

63
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:44.559
you don't have your own private vehicle right um and how that can impact people being able to go to their medical appointments or pick up what they need >> um and also contribute to their isolation. >> Yeah. >> You know um so that was um that was one big one.

64
00:17:44.559 --> 00:18:00.880
>> And I think the group split into um a few different areas to focus on priorities. I haven't I haven't looked at that information yet. That was just from past Friday. But it's a pretty um pretty dynamic group. um very um you know representative of a lot of different departments.

65
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:16.080
>> Um I know we do have one of the members there that spent a fair amount of time with the um nurse at the elementary school and got some good information from her. I wish I had gone to the last meeting. I unfortunately missed out. >> But there's a lot of there's a lot of things that dovetail with the board of

66
00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:33.120
health, you know, aging in place. >> So, you know, I I'm sort of on there with that frame of reference. Um, I made it clear I don't speak for the board, although I'm a board member, but that's sort of my frame of reference when I participate. Yeah. Yeah. >> Dennis, maybe we're gonna have to start

67
00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:49.520
one for the old guys. >> Yeah. See, there you go. >> I've had a few old guys. >> Well, usually about us. >> Well, actually, there is a concern. I mean, >> now that I'm not quite as young as I used to, >> I consider myself a teenager with lots

68
00:18:49.520 --> 00:19:04.240
of experience. >> Uh, no. the um the need for um home health aids. Uh people who have uh uh disabilities, whether they're temporary or not, like a replacement, you know,

69
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:20.240
shoulder replacement or whatever. Uh if you're by yourself or if your partner is, you know, phys mobally challenged, uh those are things that you need. I mean, those are are a lot of >> practical things that when you're

70
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:35.679
younger, you take >> you take for granted until they're not there, you go, "Oh, boy, this is difficult." >> Do we not have a bus in town that takes people? >> Yeah, we got um you know, some of the feedback that

71
00:19:35.679 --> 00:19:51.120
we got on that is it doesn't run frequently enough. It doesn't cover enough areas. But um the weekly >> also has rise you can call >> but is that only there >> or is that two appointments too? >> Right. Right. Um so any medical needs

72
00:19:51.120 --> 00:20:08.480
the counseling will do it. Um so I did do um I did do sort of a deep dive into some of the questions that were asked at the very first um meeting and um identified a lot of resources. I just didn't bring that information. I didn't know that that was going to be I'm happy to more fully report on the that on the

73
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:23.520
next time. That'd be funny. >> But I did identify um like different modes of transportation. Um and there is a long list and I think you know one of my questions was do we really have a lack of transportation or lack of information about it. >> Sure.

74
00:20:23.520 --> 00:20:38.799
>> Yeah. That the big question I have you know so we sort of need some more data I think before we um and I had shared my thoughts on that with um the written feedback that I sent to them >> hitting on isolation. >> Yes. >> The horror stories I could tell. >> Right. Right.

75
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:56.080
>> That we've dealt with over the years. >> Right. Yeah. >> All could have been >> right. Absolutely right. >> Once these people lose contact with their friends, neighbors, and the rest. I talk about that at the senior center every time on the campaign trail.

76
00:20:56.080 --> 00:21:15.520
>> Right. >> Yeah. But keep hitting on that. >> Okay. >> So, I thought what you wanted to hear from me was the um >> I do. >> Oh, the confus. Yeah. from the conference m it's Massachusetts Association of Health Board. Yeah,

77
00:21:15.520 --> 00:21:31.200
there's so many acronyms in the public health field. >> I know I look right actually looked them up, >> right? NHV. Yeah. By the way, everybody, happy um National Public Health Week. >> Hey, >> I know, right?

78
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:47.120
>> Same. >> Today, first day, National Public Health Week. All right. So um yeah, >> bad idea. >> Well, there you go. There you go. Right. Right. >> Yeah. Yeah. And they they are doing a lot of programming. >> So there maybe next year we can participate like in their yearly thing.

79
00:21:47.120 --> 00:22:02.320
I guess they always do it in April. >> So was it the similar to the one we attended last year? >> Um yes it was basically it was basically the same format but it was all updated. It was all updated. It was very interesting. So I got all the slides. >> Is there anybody who doesn't want to

80
00:22:02.320 --> 00:22:18.000
receive them? Let me just put that. I hate to flood people's inboxes with all this stuff. >> Anybody who's not interested send them to them. >> All right, perfect. Okay, I'll send them all out. Then we then we're all on the same page, right? >> Right. Yeah. Yeah. And share the

81
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:32.960
information. >> You don't want you don't want to do it, don't look. >> Yeah. Delete it if you don't want to read. >> Yeah. Well, I know, but sometimes people don't like, you know, a lot of stuff coming into their inbox. So, yeah, I could take a few minutes and just go over some of the things that were highlighted. What was your favorite

82
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:48.720
thing? >> So, actually, you know, my favorite thing with all of these kind of conferences was actually talking to the people who were there. >> Um, so people who were sitting at our table were from Fair Haven and Randolph and a lot of people from that wound up at the table. Um, but then chatting with

83
00:22:48.720 --> 00:23:04.880
other people around, you know, finding out, so what's up with you or what do you folks struggle with? You know, what is it that you're really doing? Um, and so I heard a lot about um nuisance complaints >> that Yeah. It kind of Right. Right. Right. It kind of surprised me. It was like news >> in spring.

84
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:21.760
>> Okay. And the roosters are out. I don't know. Um but turns out a lot of towns just have an out and out. No roosters allowed in the town, which I didn't really realize was a thing, but it's fairly common. No roosters. Right. Right. Love to bring that. >> Ours are not that's not in our farm

85
00:23:21.760 --> 00:23:38.159
regulations. We did that. >> Oh, no. It's not right. It would be up to the board of health to do that to say, you know, >> No, it's a townwide thing. town meeting. It's my understanding. >> Oh, okay. I don't know. I don't know. I didn't ask them how they got that um passed, but yeah,

86
00:23:38.159 --> 00:23:54.720
>> with the LR regions, >> huh? >> It's the LR regulation. >> The LR >> loud boosters regulation. Yeah. So, that was just one of the nuisances. Other people are really struggling with the whole windmill thing and the noise of the windmills >> and the light flicker from them too.

87
00:23:54.720 --> 00:24:10.720
>> Exactly. Exactly. So, one case that they picked to illustrate the whole nuisance thing and they did a fairly in in depth, I would say maybe hour and a half on different nuisances. Um, but one that was really interesting and I've seen signs up about this in Pemroke. I don't know if you've seen the signs up to say

88
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:27.200
no BS stands for battery energy storage systems, >> right? Um, and I think I know other towns have sort of been proactively looking at that, trying to get them um, regulations in place before they're asked.

89
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:43.679
>> Lately, it's been on their radar. >> No, this battery. >> Oh, the batteries. Well, the problem with the battery got to get approval from the fire department. >> That's part. Yeah, that's a big part of it. >> That's correct. Yeah. So, here we was a

90
00:24:43.679 --> 00:25:01.440
big slide presentation, but here are a couple of slides. I picked out I thought it was more informative. Um so the question is where does public health fit into this right? Um is battery energy storage a public health issue? Um it is not an energy question. Um let's see. So

91
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:19.200
um I got a little tiny print here. Energy policy at state is is a state level concern although the risks are felt in the in the local town. So the town doesn't have any say over u that particular issue. Um and it's not a zoning issue um because the land use

92
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:38.559
permits do not address uh the location of the facilities. So it is a public health protection question um and it is um it does fit in the jurisdiction of the public health departments. They illustrated a couple of pounds dealt with that. Um it was

93
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:56.559
very interesting. Um a lot of push pull in the town departments, you know, one entity saying it was their perview and another saying it was their perview. Um I think it went to litigation and it um did fall to the board of health because it was a um a nuisance and noise and

94
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:13.679
trade. So it was the noise level from these battery storage places >> which battery storage places are we talking about? We don't have any. >> We don't have any yet. >> I have solar and I have I have battery

95
00:26:13.679 --> 00:26:30.799
backup. That doesn't huge buildings that are full of batteries that back up AI and computerenerated stuff. They're they're literally >> huge industrial buildings that all they do is house batteries, >> right? >> So, there's a issues that can come with

96
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:47.120
it, >> right? >> Fire being one of them, right? >> Not being able to put them out, >> right? fires huge, >> right? There's a lot of toxic chemicals involved. If they do catch on fire, not only is it a fire hazard, it's a chemical issue. Right. Right. Right.

97
00:26:47.120 --> 00:27:02.960
Right. And a noise issue. >> Um and it was >> they emit a low hum. >> Yeah. A low hum. And they say it at the desk level of someone having a conversation in a room. um which doesn't sound like a lot, but if it's constantly going on all the time, you know, the way

98
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:20.400
they illustrate that is imagine if sometimes like if you're in a restaurant, right, and um the people next like in your table right next were just having a conversation like you hear it >> and it's not an overwhelming noise, but at that same decel um for houses within a pretty significant distance of that.

99
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:35.360
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> So, >> quality of life issue. >> A quality of life issue. Absolutely. Absolutely. Which is which is where um it fell to the board health in these particular towns and it had to do with the sighting of these establishments.

100
00:27:35.360 --> 00:27:53.039
They were very close to um like an over 55 community um and there was another maybe an adult daycare center there as well. There were a lot of people of vulnerable populations that would need to be removed from the area as quickly as possible. The big um over 55 housing

101
00:27:53.039 --> 00:28:08.960
only have one entrance and exit to that. I don't know how that even happened to begin with, right? But that was like a, you know, um, and it was also cited to close and yeah, there was another town that went through a fairly lengthy process.

102
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:24.720
But anyways, the the advice, you know, sort of long story short, the advice on that is to look proactively >> um, and maybe, you know, look what other towns are doing as well. Kind of share information and best practices because the thing is we all like electricity, right? You know, we do everybody,

103
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:39.279
>> right? right? You know, they don't want windmills for electricity and people don't want solar farms ruining their neighborhood. Um, now they don't want We've got to have something. >> Well, these these battery backup uh locations from what you describe,

104
00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:59.360
>> uh they're not for um >> not gener it's there's no direct benefit >> uh to anybody in town. It will benefit uh who's ever running an AI facility that needs that power. But that's not

105
00:28:59.360 --> 00:29:14.240
something that's local. >> It's it's it's not exclusively for AI. It's for people who back up their files. It's for it's the cloud. >> Huge super cloud. >> Exactly. It's cloud. Think of it as the cloud where all your data is. Right. Or where it needs to be stored. Right. Well, it's it sounds like something that

106
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:30.799
needs to be addressed by way of zoning um more than a health board regulation because um it's a it's a zoning issue. >> What areas, if any, in town can be built to utilize these facilities and what

107
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:46.720
then? What is the sighting requirements? >> And if we just have a regulations can't have it, >> that eliminates all the other questions. Yeah, we probably pretty much can't do a thing you can't have it, right? We can't build it. What you can do is put

108
00:29:46.720 --> 00:30:03.039
parameters around it. >> Yeah, that's that's what I'm saying. You would you that's that's where the control is not down at this level >> that once you have a facility then what are the regulations? I'm just going to put this out there that it would be better for this department to be more

109
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:18.320
proactive and outline what the concerns are rather than wait for the zoning or planning board to decide and then have to argue with them about here is the problems. If you already have the problems lined out and you go to them and say, "Hey, we're concerned about

110
00:30:18.320 --> 00:30:34.399
this. What does this look like as far as planning and zoning goes? Here is our concerns." you're being proactive about it rather than waiting for them to make arbitrary decisions of where it can and can't go and then you have to fight with well this isn't good and here's why. Seems to me it would be better to have a

111
00:30:34.399 --> 00:30:50.480
strategy of looking at what the problems are and avoid them to begin with when they start the process of zoning and planning. >> If I could if I could suggest that we might want to do is have uh a meeting with either the town planner or the

112
00:30:50.480 --> 00:31:06.000
planning board. those are where those kinds of regulations come out of and address our concerns and see where we could develop a strategy to be proactive. If there's more than one agency in government being proactive,

113
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:21.360
that doesn't mean we're proactive. The other side is no no >> that that's a whole other battle. So I think um doing some preliminary uh discussions and kind of getting a sense what what is the lay of the land is

114
00:31:21.360 --> 00:31:38.240
there any opposition is there any enthusiasm for you know what is it even on anybody else's radar >> right >> it probably isn't >> right so that's I appreciate you're bringing up the fact that it's not just the board of health it also would involve other departments including the

115
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:53.600
fire departments I know when brain 31 was proposed the fire department came and said, "We can't get our equipment in here if there was a fire because there was no access. There wasn't access." So, that put the kibos on it. So, it certainly does involve other departments, but I think a place to start would be here.

116
00:31:53.600 --> 00:32:09.440
>> Um, and we can borrow on lots of experience. I'll I'll send out the information. We went over a couple different towns. Um, and if you want more information afterwards, I can sort of dive into it there, you know. Um, but anyways, it was Yeah, it was it was a really interesting presentation. So, you

117
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:25.360
know, I move that we put that on um you know, an agenda in the near future within the next few months depending on what other issues are before us and at least start looking >> um at the process. That make sense? >> Is that something our health agent can do? Do

118
00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:40.399
>> not discussion. >> Yeah. No, no, I'm just I'm just trying to get a lay of the land here. >> What is a good logical next move, >> right? She's on that motion. >> Great. That's what she

119
00:32:40.399 --> 00:32:56.880
>> You know what? We can um we can we can ask somebody from this group here to come and present which they've done to other boards. >> Okay. >> So, we could do that. Yeah. I'll look at you know I can look into that. >> That sounds really good. We get some education. >> Sure. Sure.

120
00:32:56.880 --> 00:33:12.240
>> Right. Collaborate with other towns. >> I was Pemroke must be addressing this in some way and I know Dbury already has been considering it. >> Yeah. So we might involve the fire department and when we have these three people come to speak because you know they might be >> right.

121
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:27.519
>> Right. Wanting of the same information. >> Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Right. Right. Okay. Okay. >> So I mean at this point it's not an immediate concern but just with the next few months anyways >> right depending on you know what else is happening we we look at that and address

122
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:43.440
it. So yeah. So um so that was one really interesting thing. Um >> when you had a motion >> Yeah. Well, I just moved out of this. So the motion would be to um Yeah. So the motion would be to address this issue of

123
00:33:43.440 --> 00:34:00.480
citing um or Yeah. of citing B bees facility in the town. >> Okay. At a later meeting. >> Correct. At a later meeting. Yet to be determined. But >> you really don't need a motion for that. Lara, you can put that on the future agenda. Is that okay? You'll be all

124
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:16.879
right with that. All right. >> Thanks. >> And the other >> Yeah. Yeah. Um, so I mean the So the other thing that I picked out which I thought was really kind of interesting, you know, there wasn't so much a review of the last time um was um some new

125
00:34:16.879 --> 00:34:33.520
final social consumption can um cannabis establishments. So apparently that's like um a real evolving thing now that there's um the local towns have the authority to allow consumption on site of cannabis products at the cannabis

126
00:34:33.520 --> 00:34:51.040
establishments >> on site. So basically think of it like a bar to go instead of doing smoking pot at your house. You go have a drink and smoke pot. >> Right. Like a hook bar and then get your car and drive always any product or eat

127
00:34:51.040 --> 00:35:07.520
the chocolate or eat the brownies. Right. >> Right. >> Do it at home. You're not going to kill somebody. >> Right. Right. Right. Right. Um so that so that is a thing. Um they told some interesting story about a few towns who um had done it. um and then sort of wind

128
00:35:07.520 --> 00:35:23.520
up reooking at at the whole thing. Um there are a lot of slides on it. It's a really complex um operation to look at, but it may be something that we are, you know, asked to weigh in on with one of the establishments. So >> definitely something to throw in into

129
00:35:23.520 --> 00:35:39.599
the >> right proactive than wait till we get faced with by the city of >> Right. Right. Because we do have a limit on how long we can hold somebody's permit. >> Right. Right. Right. Yeah. >> Permit to do what?

130
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:56.720
>> To site consumption. Consumption >> on site consumption of >> Right. >> Right. Right. Yeah. >> Just think of it like a >> somebody that wants to own a business card and you can sit and eat.

131
00:35:56.720 --> 00:36:12.079
>> No, people get all excited. People have been doing on right >> no people have been doing on-site consumption for >> many years >> hundreds of years >> of alcohol right >> of alcohol and >> oh I listen this is my wife okay

132
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:28.560
>> okay no it's anytime you consume anything that alters your perception or your ability to function pop away from home and requires driving from that location to another location is inherently dangerous

133
00:36:28.560 --> 00:36:42.480
>> correct Yeah, >> the difference is there's a way to test for being intoxicated. There isn't a a foolproof legal test to show that somebody's driving high. >> Too much THC.

134
00:36:42.480 --> 00:37:00.640
>> So, opens up a huge can of legal issues. >> Moving on. >> Well, the other the other thing that that they spent some time talking about was um vaping >> um and the increasing use in teens. >> So scary. Yeah. And the legislation there. Yes. So, there's a lot of

135
00:37:00.640 --> 00:37:17.200
information there as well. And again, something that, you know, we might want to consider um putting some stronger regulations or getting more teaching. Maybe it's more a matter of getting some education out into the community. Um kids apparently can vape with products

136
00:37:17.200 --> 00:37:32.320
that you don't even really realize they're using them. You know, >> they are so nondescript, right, and look like common everyday items, >> lipsticks, mascaras, depends. Not that I've seen those, but I've heard right, you know, the parents

137
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:48.240
can't really see teachers can't really tell. And they're harmful. Yeah. And they're harmful to the kids. You know, >> they are. Yeah. >> It's definitely This goes back to enforcing the tobacco regulations we already have in town.

138
00:37:48.240 --> 00:38:04.000
>> Right. >> Right. Yeah. >> We don't need more. We just have to enforce the ones we have >> to enforce them and maybe get more education out there about the different ways, you know, it's not just figure out there. >> Carol Beck has some great information if you that she distributes. So,

139
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:21.920
>> okay, great. >> You might want to hook up with her if you're interested in the >> All right. Yeah, thanks >> instead of recreating the wheel. >> Well, you don't need to do that. >> We don't need to do that, >> right? >> What else you got?

140
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:37.839
>> I got nothing. How about next meeting? Before we do that, you have anything else to ask Rosemary? >> Yeah, I um and you know, I talked with you. Yeah. Yeah. Again, move move to have a permanent spot on the agenda that says old business so we don't lose track

141
00:38:37.839 --> 00:38:56.920
of things. >> Um and so the things that kind of showed up in this these minutes um that are now sort of old business but not quite, you know, tied up um were the three let's see. Um so we did talk about um

142
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:15.359
um yeah the local initiative um and um last last meeting I asked about the septic system failure that was on Elm Street. They're looking into it. >> Yeah, we're working. We've already sent the letter out. So now it's a waiting game to see if they respond. >> So it's still an outstanding item.

143
00:39:15.359 --> 00:39:31.839
>> Well, you guys aren't doing anything about it. That was really for just for your information. It's on me to follow like we sent the letter now we have to start the process and see if they respond. We sent a certified letter. You have the I need the receipt back before I take any other further action.

144
00:39:31.839 --> 00:39:46.880
>> That's you know it's either old business or pending. In other words, it's it's an item that's ongoing. >> I I think ongoing is perhaps the best. It doesn't require action at every single meeting, but it doesn't require to be resolved at some point.

145
00:39:46.880 --> 00:40:03.200
>> But just some old business can just be acknowledged. Yeah. Well, that's still there. It's still pending. But then that way it doesn't fall off the radar. Um the other thing that we had talked about but we haven't taken any action on. >> Yes. >> Okay. Because right now we're actually

146
00:40:03.200 --> 00:40:18.960
dealing with old business but we're operating off the minutes from the previous meeting with me. >> Yeah. Well, you have the meeting the minutes from the previous meeting, but the agenda does bring up like readressing things. >> It does. what's on the agenda for today,

147
00:40:18.960 --> 00:40:36.000
which could be old business, >> but I think what you're looking for >> is an ongoing section >> is like No, you could use it as old business, but some form of a listing of those items that are still lingering.

148
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:51.520
>> Oh, same thing. Right. >> And do you find that to be problematic in any way when you're generating the agenda? Now I just have to make sure I know what the else are. >> So you if you're not comfortable with it

149
00:40:51.520 --> 00:41:07.040
>> to put a lot of pressure on you to make sure. >> No, because if going forward I can just say, "All right, we haven't finished this. We'll put it on." >> All we do is put it under old business subjects. >> Right. Right. Right. Okay. All right. Great. >> All right. >> You're looking at me like >> me. >> Yeah.

150
00:41:07.040 --> 00:41:24.319
>> Oh, no. You do you. I get enough skin in this fight. Like whatever you put where you want you >> spin in the game, >> but okay. >> Okay. >> All right. Laura, you okay with that? >> Yeah. We'll see how good >> with that. >> Okay. >> If it becomes problematic, you let us

151
00:41:24.319 --> 00:41:38.560
>> Yes. >> No. Hopefully, this will motivate the board to move forward on things and get it on. >> Yes. >> Take them off the list. >> Right. Yeah. And just not leave them hanging. So the other item there was that we had talked about um inviting epidemiologists to meet with the board

152
00:41:38.560 --> 00:41:56.400
at some time and but we didn't we didn't specify like when that was going to be or who would do the inviting. Correct. Right. >> Okay. As a board member, if you'd like, you could schedule a meeting with the epidemiologist if they're so inclined

153
00:41:56.400 --> 00:42:12.720
committee. I'm not just >> I'm looking at you so that if you don't want me to go in that direction, >> but at any rate, >> I think you got to be honest. I'm not sure >> that a meeting will be fruitful or useful to this woman.

154
00:42:12.720 --> 00:42:31.040
>> I know you expressm. Just the fact of the matter, there's not been much done on this town. >> Yes, I in the information within the report and there is not a lot of consequence. >> But it's obvious to me that a member would like to have such a meeting.

155
00:42:31.040 --> 00:42:47.119
>> And all I'm saying to Rosemary is as a member of the board, she can contact the epidemiologist and if you'd like to set something up, >> okay? >> And just let me know if it's going to be more than three. I don't know who among you might want to attend that or be part

156
00:42:47.119 --> 00:43:02.640
of >> separate meeting from the board. Yes. Like Rosemary can go with the other. Okay. That was what I had. >> Yeah. That's I heard bring her to Right. Right. Bring her here. >> But there was resistance to that. >> Right. Right.

157
00:43:02.640 --> 00:43:19.680
>> You want I mean we had the report. We we we've had the report. We've seen what that epidemiologist has to offer. I have nothing more I need to ask of that epidemiologist. >> So then um so I don't think it would be the best time to attend.

158
00:43:19.680 --> 00:43:36.160
>> I exactly >> so we figure out like so I don't need to attend. >> I don't know if there are other people that want to attend. But if you are less than three then you can just have a meeting with the people who want to be there. If it's less than three it doesn't even have to be a board meeting. It can just be a meeting.

159
00:43:36.160 --> 00:43:52.160
>> Okay. So, are there other members of the board who would be interested in hearing the epidemiologist, you know, advice on health issues that relate to the town of Kingston? >> I think I am good because what I read, there's not a whole lot of information on our town. No.

160
00:43:52.160 --> 00:44:07.680
>> Was there anything missing that you would have liked to have seen there >> like as far as as like what's important for the town to what's important for the board of health to address moving forward? >> I would have to reread it. My suggestion would be this. >> Yeah, I'll reread it. And I don't think

161
00:44:07.680 --> 00:44:25.040
there was anything in there that I said, "Oh, I need to know more information on that." No, that is >> you have the book. You have >> true right. Why don't you make contact, see about availability, and then once you get that, see who

162
00:44:25.040 --> 00:44:40.640
might be interested in participating, and if in fact it's more than three, >> let me know and I'll make sure it gets posted for >> it's three or more, right? Okay. >> Well, I suppose like I suppose like so I understand right now Heidi and I would

163
00:44:40.640 --> 00:44:56.000
be interested. >> I mean, I don't I don't want to extend an invitation, right? Yeah, just >> what would you what more do you want to like what more so >> do you want to deepen it? >> So do you remember the three things that that that was were recommended as

164
00:44:56.000 --> 00:45:13.200
important areas for us to focus on it with me. Let's see if I can pull it up here. Does anyone remember what I do not? Okay. >> I'm going to guess one of them is child and maternal health. >> No, it wasn't >> really because that that's the big catch thing right now. They're all being pushed along. Sorry that I didn't see

165
00:45:13.200 --> 00:45:28.720
that identified anybody in that entire report. >> No, no, one word about it. That's why I told you I was so surprised that that was the focus. Yeah. All right. So, Kingston um the three areas um of

166
00:45:28.720 --> 00:45:44.720
recommended concern and I think one of them we certainly are aware of which is enhanced preparation for co cold and flu season. you know, we're a population of mostly of a lot of elderly people are at high risk >> and I think we do definitely address that. >> Um the second um thing that was

167
00:45:44.720 --> 00:46:00.400
important to attend to as a water health was improvements in student attendance. >> What correct mean to the to the school? >> Correct. Correct. I don't understand. I don't >> I'm going to tell you right now all of the stuff in there has to do with the

168
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:14.960
talking points that are coming down from EP as part of the grant. Mhm. Mhm. >> That is my resistance to having to deal with it at this board meeting. >> So with future epidemiology reports, I think I think just to have an understanding of what the process is and

169
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:31.760
to say next time this is what I I just don't understand this and we paid for this. This came out of our grant money. Okay, we paid for this. Um improvements in student attendance. know um as she as she you know demonstrates

170
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:47.599
it certainly was an issue. The level of truency or just you know absenteeism was alarmingly high >> from our account. >> Exactly. Yes. >> During what period of time? Um let's see if she writes the years you know the because I'm going to get a long

171
00:46:47.599 --> 00:47:03.920
>> when we had all of the um people in the show >> right you know um let's see >> so that is by nature a very >> absolutely >> inongruent >> right right >> picture of what the reality of everyday life is >> so she writes chronic absenteeism rose

172
00:47:03.920 --> 00:47:18.800
sharply during the co9 pandemic and still has not returned to preandemic levels >> as of when >> that's she doesn't give that reports from for 2025. >> No, she's not telling you what the data is from. She's telling you COVID period.

173
00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:34.319
She's not saying it's from 2019 to 2021 or 2024. >> She does in the larger report. I think the data goes all the way up through past 24 because this is all this is all new. It came out it came out in June of 2025. So, it's it's up to that point of

174
00:47:34.319 --> 00:47:48.960
June 2025, right? So, it's current. Mhm. Um and then the third one for the Kingston Board of Health was considering homeowner and renter support. >> And so there there is documentation in

175
00:47:48.960 --> 00:48:06.400
here that um Kingston is um very um highly impacted by costburdened households. And in other words, another way to say that it is like more than 30% of the income of a particular home goes to just

176
00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:23.440
paying their basic mortgage um with and it doesn't really leave that much left over their basic living expenses which will put people at risk for you know skipping you know cutting back on medications not getting the right food. >> So it is a quality of life issue. I'm

177
00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:42.800
not sure how the board of health would be able to offer I I don't know. Um do we have a money tree I'm not aware of because I'd like so >> that is a state of Massachusetts. >> So yeah, you know but compared so

178
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:59.359
Kingston was the most um at risk out of all six towns. I find that incredibly hard to believe driving through Clinton and >> Cavo right >> but that's what >> that's not part of our six times >> the report the report was quite extensive with lots and lots of data so

179
00:48:59.359 --> 00:49:16.079
you can look at the data itself and say that's really interesting >> I think there's a there's a danger I'm I'm not trust me I'm not opposed to innovating >> u but there is a significant danger in um they used to call the military

180
00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:30.400
mission creep where you start out with one thing and you end up just you know where basically you're never going to be satisfied. You're never going to be you're never going to have enough of whatever it is you want, >> right? >> And uh

181
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:47.440
>> you start losing attention to the basic services that uh that we provide like we just did this more >> right >> uh this afternoon evening. Uh and so it's there's not an Aladdin's lamp where you can just make wishes.

182
00:49:47.440 --> 00:50:03.200
>> U uh I would say the if the need is compelling and doable. That's, you know, there are a lot of compelling things that are beyond our authority. >> And Dennis, I I agree with you on that and I think this is beyond our scope or

183
00:50:03.200 --> 00:50:20.640
out of our scope. And at the same token, I do believe that very important for us to identify what are our priorities, right? What is what are the important things that we can do with the resources that we have? I don't see how this >> what would fit into it like what what really would fit into this? What one

184
00:50:20.640 --> 00:50:38.319
thing I think that is worth um looking at and addressing >> is uh um elder services as they relate to health issues and also um any prenatal care or you know any anything

185
00:50:38.319 --> 00:50:54.319
like that that we can provide as a you know um a resource because the the bigger thing is education that That's that's the most we can do. We we cannot provide enough resources to meet every

186
00:50:54.319 --> 00:51:10.800
possible need, but we can provide education to be the most critical. >> Yeah. But we also do policy and regulations and that sort of thing that help shape >> policy policies that you're enacting is going to solve housing issues or people's

187
00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:26.720
inability to control their budget. >> That is not the health department. >> Yeah. No, I agree. >> Health department. It's a lead, but it's not. >> They have no perview over it. >> I know. I'm agreeing with you. >> And the other thing that I think it's really important to understand is that's

188
00:51:26.720 --> 00:51:42.319
just statistics. And anybody who's taken a statistics class is very well aware that I can make statistics say anything I want to. Plain and simple. So, I don't put much credence in that

189
00:51:42.319 --> 00:51:58.400
report. is the is this public health excellent grant thing then going to fund another epidemiologist reporter next project that works for she works for the grant right she's going to run a full-time position

190
00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:16.880
>> right and so they just give her work to do that was her she came up with I'm going to do a report on and she just picked a trolley which she she didn't ask any of us what we wanted to be focused on it was just given to us she just took it upon herself So look,

191
00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:33.280
I've been here now almost three years. I'm very clear on how the grant works. There is an agenda >> and we stick to the agenda and so there is no deviating from that. So what the grant does is what is coming down from DPH. So my attitude with approaching the

192
00:52:33.280 --> 00:52:49.680
grant is we take what we can that is useful and helpful to our town >> and I just don't worry about the stuff that I know >> you can't change. can't change it. I can't fix it. And I sure as hell don't have the money when the grant runs out to keep doing it. So, I'm focusing on

193
00:52:49.680 --> 00:53:06.480
the things that matter right now, services that I can get that are going to be useful to the town when the grants's gone away, like getting trained for CPR, getting able to provide classes to our town residents, >> right? >> Getting a resource list together, getting connect. Those are the things that are going to be important when when

194
00:53:06.480 --> 00:53:21.680
we have no more money from this grant, which is coming down the pipe, right? an epidemiologist that will be long gone working at DPH in Boston. >> You know, pretty sure what the plan. >> Yeah, that is just a shame that that didn't do more for public health

195
00:53:21.680 --> 00:53:38.720
programs in the local area. >> They're doing the best they can. We have >> Well, parameters and restrictions are what we are allowed to do. We come up with things, they get shot down >> and they, believe me, they're not like silly things that are wasteful. It's

196
00:53:38.720 --> 00:53:54.960
reasonable things, but the powers that be in the state are saying, "Oh, no, you can't do that. Oh, no, you can't do that." So, then what are you giving us the money for? Yeah. You're giving money in tight hands. >> So, at this point, look, if we get another year out of this grant, we'll be lucky, >> right?

197
00:53:54.960 --> 00:54:10.960
>> And so, let's just I'm just getting what I can get. It's going to be service to the town. I mean I mean supposedly the whole goal of that safe program was to give more control to the local boards of health below me. >> Well that's what it is in writing.

198
00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:27.040
That's what it is in writing. >> Okay. I'm going to tell they're asking these questions. I just had to fill out a survey that took me and Lori can confirm three hours to fill out. Three hours. >> Yeah. So and so what it is is they're trying to centralize services so that

199
00:54:27.040 --> 00:54:43.359
all of our little boards of health go away. That is the underlying mission of this whole grant thing. We have subject experts. We have this person and they're not providing dillies. At the time you were on the meeting, they didn't show up. >> Well, that's Yeah, that's what kind of

200
00:54:43.359 --> 00:54:59.119
got me going on this. But >> pick your battles because right now just take the money we can get and and be as useful as we can get. >> So, I tell you what, I am going to reach out to um the epidemiologist. I'm going to say I'm reaching out on behalf of the board of health. That's where I'm coming

201
00:54:59.119 --> 00:55:14.559
from. On behalf of the board for more information >> for more information. Um, and if anybody wants to join me, I will put the invitation out there and we'll see what happens. >> Okay. Good luck. >> So, so does nothing. Did everyone else get that survey from um the state

202
00:55:14.559 --> 00:55:31.920
program? >> No, it would be I have to fill it out. I had to fill it out. >> No, I got it as a member of the board of health. >> There's two things. One's a survey, one's the performance review. I had to do both the performance reviews the thing that takes. >> So the survey is supposed to be done by

203
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:48.160
all but by the members of the board help >> right. So did you all get one? >> Has every has emailed? >> Have you all done it? >> So about did you get the survey? >> Guys, the ship is sealed. It's already

204
00:55:48.160 --> 00:56:04.160
over. You can't turn it in anyways. >> It's until April 10th. The deadline is April 10th. >> Oh, I thought it was earlier than that. >> No, cuz I just printed it off. I thought I brought it with me. It's the April pen and I wasn't sure how to fill it to answer some of the questions. So, I guess I'll just >> That's exactly what they're hoping for.

205
00:56:04.160 --> 00:56:19.839
>> So, nobody here has done it. >> No. >> No, I didn't realize it was something we have to do. >> I know. And and they mentioned it a lot at this meeting. They kept saying you're going to be getting a survey. Oh, I didn't put draft. So,

206
00:56:19.839 --> 00:56:39.440
>> I did not get a survey. That's what >> I think it came the date on on the original one I got was February. >> All your members. It's not It goes out to the state >> or perhaps you want to forward it to everybody if you still have it. >> Yeah, I'll forward it. Okay.

207
00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:54.559
>> Yeah, >> because from February maybe you got missed, right? But it did say specifically like in bold letters health. There's lots of things to check out if you're a member for Gord Health. Sounds like something wrong to everybody. Dennis, you didn't see that? >> No.

208
00:56:54.559 --> 00:57:15.680
>> No. >> I'll keep Okay. Anything else? >> If there is nothing else to pres uh do, I next meeting May 4th.

209
00:57:15.680 --> 00:57:28.760
>> I offer a um a motion to adjourn. Second that. All >> in favor? I I
