[Music] good evening welcome to the January 16
2025 meeting of the community preservation committee it is 6:31 p.m. and we are meeting at the Lakeville police station at 323 Bedford Street we have Lake cam recording is anyone else recording hearing none we do have a quorum the only member missing is John Lucy this evening everyone else is present our first item on the agenda is discuss and possible vote on warrant language for Spring Town Meeting budget so we do have in our pack we have an email from our new town accountant
Mike Ellis he breaks it down uh how he calculated the projection for this year uh we have it at uh 23,31 1836 so 10% of that would be 25,331 you say that number again 253,000
8.36 it's right on your um I think it's the third page in your pack oh it's on page y so um so 10% of that is the uh $2,331 184 um which would be for all three categories historic open house open space open house open space and housing um and then we have the undesignated fund balance at 177,000 $3
32285 and on the uh draft of the budget article I did the 3% is we had discussed at $7,595 for the administrative expenses uh feel free to double check any of any of that if if you feel the need I just took those numbers I filled it into the sample article that we had from the Coalition and and um that's what you see
here on the CPA 2026 budget article if everything uh when I do see that I had a period instead of a comma I'll fix that but um if there's no questions everything looks good straightforward and comments if not we can uh take take a vote to send this to town meeting to
approve move second all right we have a motion in second all in favor I I motion passes unanimously so I will get that over to the Town Administrator to get it onto the Spring Town Meeting warrant agenda item number two discuss and possible vote on step two applications a gravestone reps at Tom Hill Cemetery I do have a letter that um
Nancy lafab just handed to me at the start of this meeting uh it's from the historic commission and it is a letter of recommendation um would you like me to read this so everyone can hear it yes okay Dear Community preservation committee is dated January 15 2025 uh the Lakeville historical Commission met this evening we still feel strongly
about the restoration repairs at Thompson Hill Cemetery and support the application by the Lakeville Cemetery commission our letter from 2023 is printed below at the July 20 2023 meeting of the Lakeville historical commission a quum being present a motion was made seconded and passed to send a letter of support on behalf of the Lakeville Cemetery commission for the community preservation committee Grant second level application for the Thompson Hill Cemetery project for repairs to broken and toppled gravestones this cemetery is currently on our state inventory of historic sites
in Lakeville it is the final resting place of an interesting cross-section of once midle Burrows and now Lakeville notable residents part of our long range plans includes submitting an application for National Historic register designation for Thompson Hill Cemetery proper repairs and preservation of the gra gravestones is an important aspect for consideration to that end sincerely Brian Reynolds chairman so we have that recommendation I couldn't send it bring
it to you until they had approved it so right and we met last night so that's why it's not on stationary all right well that's good um we also have the step two application um I did forward everyone in this committee some additional information because when she first sent it over um I didn't I didn't see that um everything had been included so I did ask that um a couple things have been to be included which she sent over um so we
do have the breakdown of what the funds are to be used for um it breaks it down for all the different stones and the cost for each of them it's kind of fascinating yeah yeah marble headstones and you know the description of them and what they're going to do they're going to clean them and and restore
them resetting on New Foundations so there's actually 14 different items that this $10,000 uh goes to help restore repair and clean so that's these are all smaller Stones than the original taable Stones which were very unique there's the third tablestone there but it has a different uh base as opposed it's it's enclosed base and it's in much better shape so that's why that's not on the list I believe
okay right and this is the same company that they had worked with before I believe they were very happy with the um repairs they did and that's good cuz at least we know that it was successful the last time around there was no red flags no no everything was they were very particular very careful and they are very excited about working at the cemetery so that's
nice too all right so any comments questions concerns about the step two application from anyone on the commity just that a curiosity if they go over 10,000 would it would they be able to get more not this year no so they they they know that how much we're applying for yeah and tried to fit the prices in to cover that
amount of money there are still more stones to be repaired there would be a whole another yeah they're working in in older area of the cemetery yeah yeah chunk at a time it's a lot of work yeah okay who cares yeah cuz this is the second round yeah so I guess it's still be to be determined how much more repairs are needed in to get it up to that historical register and sometimes when I think they get into doing stuff they find out it's not going to be as detailed work but the problem is that
these are a lot of these are the old slate ones and if if you're familiar with geology slates layered and once you put it on end water will get down in and it will freeze and it will fracture the layers apart so some of some of that has to be taken into consideration it's kind of delicate work but the biggest part is you can't read them because there so much Len on them and so they will clean and so in the pictures I that you're going to have um from the Zip drive that she's going to give you um it shows
before and after and it's just unbelievable the difference and what they do doesn't hurt the stone because there's certain things you're not supposed to do to certain types of stone because of the damage that it does to the stone while you're cleaning it so they're very careful and they really know their stuff we're very fortunate to have them available to do this great any other questions comments concerns motion to approve the step through application all right so we want a
motion to um send this to to meeting Springtown meeting for 10,000 for yep for 10,000 so so moved all right we got a motion second and a second all in favor I motion carries unanimously so this has to be voted on at CH meeting in addition to us approving it correct so we just have to make sure that this is in line with so
you know we go through the step one is it in line with our plan does it appear to be a complete application we have all the information yes you know no concerns um and now our job to make the recommendation to town meeting that's so it's a we approved the recommendation not so much the project correct we recommend it meeting and then the town okay I wasn't aware of that no but town meeting is not able to vote on a a project without CPC approval right so yeah okay all right good to know good
know thank you all right agenda item number three discuss and possible vote on actions to publicize CPC yearly public hearing on February 20th meeting date so uh we discussed holding our yearly public hearing during our next meeting um on February 20th 2025 at 6:30 p.m. and we wanted to discuss the various um methods for uh publicizing it and getting the word out because we want to be we have
to post it in the paper twice two weeks in the paper right do you have um do you have a copy of um the post thing from last year do you have a word doc so we can just use that and copy it I probably do okay do you want to check yeah okay okay I will um then just let me know if not then I can yeah and I think we should also somebody should do an interview with the paper to explain what it's all about and have an art you know an actual like
maybe what's the date February 20th so maybe that week before February 20th I find all the time if you do it too early then people just forget but if we did it before that week of the 20th so the paper comes out on Thursdays and our meeting is going to be on a Thursday so I think it will have to be prior to that Thursday before so that we can get into Monday deadline I think is that what it is Monday so it'll have to be the plus isn't there going to be from the um the town administrators is there going
to be a new published like newsletter yeah there's a community already so we might want to see if we I think the deadline is sometime the end of January for February yeah I mentioned it to Lacy and she said just let me know the details and she'll make sure it gets in okay so it looks like we'd want to contact the paper uh the week of February 3rd to 7th I would say do it as soon as possible and just ask them request that it not be put in in until that week before the week
following right uh which would be so we would want it to come out on the 13th the February okay 13th paper or Edition I should say um so what you you do a good job with oh God speaking to the paper we go on the town website too yeah yeah we definitely go on the Tom website on our web page yeah so I don't
know I don't know how I would put it on our website our web page but I think we can try to do it as a banner okay see if Tracy can do it okay that's good um what about you know how they send out email blast too probably the town email blast as well to all the residents email blast so the emails are typically you mean the ones so like when an agenda post it sends it out well if you sign up for whatever it is when the town sends these email cuz get like six of the same right
yeah I know I thought it was just me yeah cuz there's certain things that when you post it it's automatically checked off so like you can either check it or uncheck it but once it's checked it'll automatically send it once anything is posted to the website but um I don't know what it would be tied oh I think I think it has to be specific to maybe we'll have we'll see if the banner can be done and maybe Lacy can add it to um Community newsletter but I wouldn't to see if Tracy can send our own email
BL but I don't know so I guess we'd have to I guess it could be if I post it to CPC I could post the um the posting right so that I can set it up as a blast yep so I can do it from the as long as I check that off it'll go out okay so post that to CPC page and then what about the Lakeville website in the events section like makeing an
event um I mean I can I can talk to them and see if that's I mean we can what's that Lake cam but I don't think I don't know if it's necessary if it's going to say that on a banner if we get it on the banner yeah if it'll be on a banner on that web page then that's fine but um L cam with the scrolling up of events do people watch does that even still happen I don't know I don't know if it's I watch like him on Facebook or YouTube I'm not sure are you talking about on the TV channel yeah oh I don't
know does anyone watch the TV channel that's Jose what about so the town Facebook page too we could ask them to just maybe share the posting yeah that would be good okay who who wants to take some of these Trac would Tracy put it on the Old Town Hall oh the the community sign and what about will they put it on this one uh I can ask okay park on the electric
one the one right out here yeah okay because you might have some ideas of something you want to add it's all about a public hearing of what people want to see yeah right so it would be important oh I actually won't be able to attend the meeting on the 20th I had already mentioned that to you one of my dogs is getting neutered so leave could go out on leville bring them here with the call yeah I mean I could I much you guys like Huskies so I can't attend on
that day and you might not e John so wait a second we might should we change the date oo you're not around no you got to be around or it would be a quorum with five people but how are we going to do it without you you know the most no come on you're like well Nancy could run the me and yeah n oh but that's a risk but that would have to be we have to make sure there five we might want to change in attendance 1 2 three four five but if someone ends up getting sick then yeah I can be there so if I person well so we
don't want to publicize it for the 20th and then have to change the date right so do we want to have an additional meeting for the month or change it to March yeah I can't squeeze anything else in in February um you move it a week later to set 27 no cuz I got plan so who's who's who can't make it again me one can you can
you tune in I I I might I might not I'm not sure but then John has been struggling with Thursdays so oh I could I could zoom in yeah okay okay I might be able to zoom I would be able to so if we could do a remote yeah don't we need like special permission for that whole thing as long as it's a week in advance we can let Jose know so we can ask for a hybrid yep or move it to March which is better
just do that get it done in February if we're going to make changes to the plan we already decided the earlier the better so that we can make the changes to the plan right yeah for the the hybrid option too you might get more like Community input right that's my other thought you get more Community input if it's a hybrid because that would be great yeah I'll have to residents can also attend via Zoom pardon they can also attend okay yeah that is a great idea yeah good thing we couldn't be
there all right so that'll be um besides minutes that'll be the only thing on our next agenda we'll have just the hearing we'll put the uh current plan everybody bring your own notes anything that we've discussed I know Sue I know you have some I know I have some notes of things that we want to make sure we address like make sure the dates line up make all those other things so like bring your list of items and then we that'll just be the one thing that we are we
going to have a display of completed projects or projects ongoing or anything like that oh that's a great idea that's a great idea we could do if we're doing it over Zoom too we could do like a slide show PowerPoint or something I don't know how that would work cuz that would be on this T that would be where they'd be tuning in so and the work on the Koopa the nail so those would be the three oh true projects right you can send uh two
separate sing signals to TV and then the projector so you can you do two at one so we could project what like a slideshow yeah and then the TV can capture the zoom people okay so so now we'd have to um John yeah if so if I put a slid show together with some photos yep if I email it to Lake cam would that be a method of getting it on the projector or do you need it on like a
thumb drive how do you need that um I'd have to talk to Jose because our computer would be the one used for Zoom so we wouldn't really be able to do the projector on the computer so it would just be like someone brings a computer but okay does somebody is somebody able to bring a computer I can talk to Jose and see what we can do okay so because I know you also need an H just from planning board people you need an HDMI hookup on your computer in order to hook up too so she was able to reach out so so sue might be able to okay that would
be great because the whole thing is about getting people involved and excited about CPA and show some pictures that's true yeah as long as I can get those if you if I can get the electronic ones we have some pictures further down our agenda that we can look at um Are there specific questions we ask the community or should we come up with some I think we well we just want to know they want to see how do you want your your CPA money spent how do you
want to see your funds and here's some ideas of what it's been spent on and we want to hear from you this is you know your input into the plan but we do have to be specific and let them know it has to be under these three categories it can't be just like wish are we going to talk about things that did not qualify right or why they didn't qu why they didn't qualify maybe that might be a good idea project come forward but because of whatever the
the requirements were right they didn't fit not that they weren't good ideas it was just that they the point you know you have to be like that well we should hand out the chart the color chart yes yes yes no no you know that would be a nice hand out or maybe we put that on the slide also but we could hand it out also so they would have it to look at but that should be on the slide too so that's pretty all right so how are we going to divvy all these things up cuz these are great ideas going to put the time in here all right
who's doing the newspaper are you doing the newspaper Sue yeah you you did well with the Snowman thing do it yeah that's true you did I don't mind doing the newspaper okay all right do the newspaper I'll do the new the last time I'd like to make a suggestion for the article should we put in the article if anyone has questions cuz I feel like if at the meeting they ask questions and we don't have the answers that's going to be odd so if there's a way they know ahead of
time they have a specific question that they could send to us so we could be prepared I mean I don't see this as being a lot of I don't see it as being a lot of questions it's more of what do you want to see your your tax doll for our third year we should be able to answer most of the questions right I think so previous meetings we had people who were really interested in housing yeah and that's a big we're we're collecting money for that because it's not getting spent but we don't have an Housing Authority per se so the idea of
having you know reasonable housing and stuff like that um is probably going to come up again because right now we can't do anything well I mean so if there can so for example like we've talked about uh maintain in the existing uh Shi unit properity so if there was a like the selectboard could could put in an application on behalf of maintaining
you know so there there could be mechanisms to utilize those funds are they aware of that I've shared that all that information from steuart I've shared well maybe with a new Town Administrator well we have a new Town Administrator we have a new town planner it does it says you know in the in the information from to it it says that it takes a is a collaborative effort so and you probably have to look for some outside consultant plus we have Mike
who's very familiar with oh I know I'm I'm very excited oh really yeah he comes from Bourn and he's been the CPA since it was concepted so a lot of knowledge absolutely okay so we have newspaper Nancy um Tracy Banner so um I can reach out to Tracy and I can do the website stuff um I can oh Nancy also sorry one second uh Nancy
can you also don't forget the posting draft right oh okay so you do the newspaper get the posting draft because that's what I'm going to post to the web page and that's what I will send to LY and ask her to put in news so I'm in the month of when did what was our Facebook date last year that we did the public hearing it was around the same time it was the February so I have a question for the sign on the
road what would we like that to say CPC public hearing CPC public February 20th but will people spell it out commity preservation they would understand yeah CPC what is that so then maybe Community preservation funds CU then they understand it's money funds or do we want to put CPA like Community preservation act funds that's a lot of letters I don't know I that's why I'm asking what would you guys like
to see um if you have the letters put spell it out CPC or CPA Community pres preservation act might as well put CPA because more people know what is right so CPA funding I don't think people will know what CPA means though it would have to be spelled out i' do you know like Community CM period and then put press for preservation right and then act is short so so
come and put money put a money sign public Hein February 20th 6:30 p.m. police station yeah where I definitely can't put that yeah that's a lot that's a lot I think once if they see it and they see the time they'll go to the website for details I mean if nobody I mean people vote if for CPA this was the third time around I don't know how many people don't know what it is well and I
mean if you don't know what it is you can't look it up so Community preservation act funding public hearing Feb just put fund not funding fund fund okay FB 20 630 MH yeah they'll go looking yeah once they see that they'll look yeah make sure they know where it's going to be so that's for the same thing should be on Tracy's note right Tracy and the park should have the
same thing so that's the tell Williams um Community sign the to yeah um do you want so if you have that so do you want to contact Tracy about the the other one as well you can do the bulletin boards both I can so that way it'll be the same on both so what am I asking Tracy to put up a bulletin so for the Old Town Hall bulletin board the public sign at the intersection yeah she'll know what you
mean so asked Tracy to put up a bulletin at the Old Town Hall yep yeah okay and then we have oh hybrid meeting um slow a lot what that slideshow yeah um wonder who wants to do the slideshow Susan if you're bringing your no if we can I can do that if somebody can get me all the I just don't have the photos so I have some and then
Nancy because I'm not very teex Savvy when it comes to SL just so I know what is so Robert he'll do the slideshow if I can fit hybrid on that sign out there should it be out there too on that I'd say no Michelle if you're good with it I can email you a one drive link for a folder that people can dump photos into okay does that work for you so even when you get like Zip driver photos you can put it's sort of
greeky when okay if not I know enough knowledgeable people that will help get it we'll get it to them yeah yeah we'll see we can try if not like you have my phone number right yeah so if there's a problem we can discuss it I guess we have time and and all the pictures are taken from previous we've already got pictures from are these available the ones about the door so I I just I post I did no actually I didn't post these yet I wanted us to discuss them before I
posted more but I did I put two up on the web page so far um what there the pictures that we handed out at town meeting first time around for the first three projects uh those are all before though not Afters right say again the befores the before pictures good point oh yeah there were no after pictures there were no after the pict it's okay but but I mean really all we have is the town doors and the and in the cemetery repair right right the KOA the Koopa
Thea is ongoing yeah it's not done yet so all we have is just a sign out front right because the roof we didn't need at the townhouse and I did get pictures of the roof but I figured I'm not even going to include them in this P we confuse people they would think that we actually did get money for that I kind of suggest you have some of these if there's going to physically be people in the room Y what have some of these available so they can take them with them on Zoom there should be a way to share links then the other project is
the um Park Department thing for John Pond Park that's I I'll take responsibility for the copies because you have ability to do that because I'm like I can't print that at home the office out yes all right so that's my other thing so the paper and the Hand plan did that end up in the plan the checklist oh did we add it in not I know we talk about think we talk adding it it
that's one of that's pretty cool yeah that's what we're going to add about it um Che so on the um on the leville website you can like upcoming meetings in the calendar you can click on it when we click on that will it specify that our next meeting is going to be a special meeting so that calendar that's what um the main calendar on the town website that's with the town clerk post so that's just the agenda so as soon as
I have the agenda made I'll send it over so we can get that on there the one and the one that's on that I post to our page I'll I'll include um our current plan yeah CU that's the only thing I was planning on putting is just a plan right yeah Special hybrid meeting so people know that when they go to because they're going to see the sign go to the website to get info we want to make sure that info is accurate that it's going to be the special meeting and it's Zoom they'll see the bulletin hopefully
too yeah that'll just be you know public hear in with the date what do we call the page that has the yeses and the Nos and color it's like what's the name of it the is your project allowable Matrix what I would call yeah what does it say at the top is your it says is your project allowable okay okay so now's as good a time as any for me to
ask this question so I I until recently I didn't realize an individual couldn't bring a project to CPC so it that definition is in here right I've read this a couple of times but that doesn't I don't think it's in there that it says anything about an individual I think we talked about adding language that like from what Stuart had said to us okay so that I think that's I have some notes am I missing something I thought an individual like didn't we talk about
somebody like John that has a historic house so but you have to be very careful you have because remember there was an issue with making a payment you have to have a you can't make it to an individual I would assume right yeah so he would have to go through the historical right yeah so it can't be an individual so it has to be through a commission or committee supported by right or like Society is not um you know it's a nonprofit though it's not
forit can a town committee with those words though yeah yeah definitely so the open can the open space committee can be you can sponsor an application right but if I personally I would need to go to the open space committee for example so it has to be a Perpetual um conservation restriction so how would you ensure you know what how no no yeah I get it it's just like cuz
somebody's going to ask because if we send them home with this and there's an application in it yeah they're going to start Jo Smith is going to and I want that thing in the backyard to be there forever so so that's why I think we have to have the language pretty understand this is the draft that we're revising this is the one that we're revising so so that's but it's not a draft that's a plan that we approved we don't want to pass out anything that's inaccurate but we're gather all we're going to do is gather information
take input say do these these items underneath his storic do these line up with what you want to see does this under uh Recreation does this under open space are these your goals so we want our goals for the plan to match what the community wants the big thing that came out last time last year was they wanted more waterbased kind of uh recreational things and so hopefully you know right yeah so there's only going to be a very small handful of
committees or commissions that would be able to back it because it has to be open space it would have to be wreck so maybe just list those so it doesn't have to though like as long as you have support from that like you is not historic but they have support because obviously want it to be supported by the members who are on this committee right or right so there would only be a few to list down you have to have support from think we should do that no I don't think we should do that because I think it might limit people and it would be good
to say that um it's recommended that you work with the Committees in the town to get input for your recommendation but there may be groups today that we're not aware of that's in there though to get support from even your neighbors kind or the neighbors right of the wherever the projects say we want to get some open space well you get support from open space committee c c the I mean you know you get but so the Girl Scouts if they so chose could apply or must they first
I'm sorry to ask this but I really was kind of confused or would they have to go to say they wanted a wild flower field would they have to go to open space and be like we like a wild I think I'd recommend it myself I would say you know I would recommend that you speak to open space because what if they're try apply for your what if they're trying to plant some wild flowers that'll that aren't native species or R we just went through that so that's cuz I was a little confused after the meeting that I was here like how are we people supposed to
do this you know and have the community behind you well to to lizz's point about an individual I was going to bring this up later but I'll bring it up now um I just happened to stumble upon middle B's CPC meeting that happened in I think November and Stuart did a presentation to them during their meeting and it was kind of like when we first started the same thing it was a great review cuz I listened to it again but there were
things that he mentioned that I was like oh I didn't realize that so I'll send the link to everybody it might be a good idea for all of us to review it again listen to it I picked up on things that I didn't even know existed so it was a good review so one of the things that do we have a howto do this do you know what I mean if somebody has a great idea we had some great ideas before but we couldn't fund them we couldn't support them but if somebody has a great
idea what do they do next I mean who do they go to so if we had something that said if you have a great idea and it's about something to do with open space then these are the groups that you might need to get in touch with to talk about your great idea and see if this is something that works with their Master whatever their master plan is for that particular subject you know what I'm saying because people might not know what to do next yeah I think that's a good idea well we have we're having a
public meeting sorry I didn't mean to interrupt you but we have public meetings all the time they can come and talk to us and we can direct them where to go we have an email address too well that and if we don't have the answer we can ask the Coalition get right but all of our meetings are public meetings so come on down maybe we can say that come on down and talk to us you can you talk to us without applying for an starting an application we you know you guys were all aware of the fact that the Rhino had approached me and so you
know you know we had talked about how um you know I I recommended go to these various committees and I think they met with you they met withal and maybe conservation as well but so I I think like there are methods to getting that information whether it's email coming down like people can they can't figure it out should be it's also Fair like next month I feel like we're getting stressed about it not having the answer to these people but we can tell them come back in March we'll get the answer for you it's
not all right so what else we have so I have Nancy you're going to talk to the newspaper but make sure that it stays within the same scope of everything that we yep and I'm also going to do the handouts the plan General evaluation criteria So when you say handouts so what are you going to what she asked well what we talked about but now I'm all worried about handing out applic the plan the plan that we have now a so how many copies just well so it's on the website right
and people I don't I like I mean be old fashioned by I like this so I can write on it and whatever so we'll have some available so maybe 20 anybody wants more we'll make it for them right I was going to say 10 yeah I was going to say 10 you're going to say 10 I'm going to try to get a lot of people to come okay good 20 all right so 10 to 20 copies and you'll talk to the newspaper uh okay and you're going to get me the posting draft get that at the top of my
list and I'll post it to the web page I'll ask Jose about the zoom link and I'll post that and I'll try to get the banner and on the newsletter and the Facebook page and Britney you're going to do the bulletin boards Robert you're going to do the slideshow with the photos Su you going to bring a computer yeah do you need me to bring my computer or yeah if you don't mind okay I'll do it the posting might have been on the information for the agenda because we
had to read the newspaper article for the hearing I didn't have it in my packet okay cuz I could go back to my packet have packet all right I'll find it so it's probably still online no would it be with the bill when you paid when you gave the oh if if you made it with your computer it's probably saved into your computer whatever you use to make stuff right well I'm trying of wonder if I did or Tracy I'll find it all right so what
else um is that everything pretty thorough we have food you want to bring some cookies nany that'll really bring them in free cookies did you mention that you will be here or you won't be I'm not sure yeah so then a backup moderator I guess would be right well so the vice chair she if I don't know if John's going to be here if John's here it'll be John if not John
then I'm assuming it'll be Nancy so do just have someone designated right okay how did it go last through when you did it did people show up not many not many well it was new though it was new only a couple and actually there was a woman who was was very adamantly opposed to CPA I was like it's already show up I'm sorry it's already passed we're not here here to discuss whether or not this is what you want done with your text all Sor pass actually the biggest thing I
remember was they wanted to see more waterbased recre outdoor recreation so I mean somebody had a good idea so even if you get one or two good ideas well I mean yeah and it just either it confirms that we're in the right direction or not and that's I mean even if one person says yeah this sounds good I mean it's better than nothing Y and then we all already have some edits ourselves so all right is that everything can we move on from this item
minutes okay so we have review and approv meeting minutes for December 19th has everyone had a chance to review the minutes we should have a Joe Chamberlain oh I know really good with the minutes I can't vote on the minutes
because I wasn't here but there was a word in here what is Munith oh that's the municipal the software the e software it's mu n i yes oh thank you you're welcome I wonder if that should be capitalized I had it I think it's just a brand name okay all right any questions
edits anyone want to make a motion to approve so moveed we have a motion in a second all in favor I you said you're abstaining I wasn't at the meeting so I can't vot on a minute okay motion passes one abstain and we've got number five old business status updates on approved projects from Project liaison anyone
have any information to share I talked to my about um John Pond Park and um he basically said that you have your hands full with everything that's going on I did go and look up with Lillian I think you have till November 11th I believe it is um so that's within the 2year thing so I kind of gave him a little nudge you just have to go out for bed it's it's not like it's like
physical work you got to go dig it up or something yeah so I I gave them a little nudge I think so if there are unforeseen circumstances that would not allow them to complete the project by that date can we give them an extension I don't know if it has to be doesn't the work have to be begun not if I I don't yeah I don't think it has to be finished they need to all they need is to get H an engineer yeah High an engineer so they need to get bids they need to go
for the bidding process I know middle bro this was part of that meeting that I watched they extended an application okay the whatever committee it was wanted to extend it two years and the the CPC said no one year yeah one cuz I mean basically they had a good point this money is being tied up and and it's not collecting interest right so this interest is being lost for money that is not being used appropriated but not
spent so well I'll continue to not I'm the leis on so I'll continue to give him a shove maybe I'll go to a meet and say hey come on get your act K I asked last week and all I know is Melissa's keeping track of the time I know that so that's good she knows she's limited right any other so I spoke with Joan Morton about the Koopa project at the Museum and she said that Mr A's um is keeping an eye on the temperature because he has to rent a
hydraulic lift and hydraulic lifts do not work well in below freezing temperature so he's waiting to um see when he can do this safely and ensure that he doesn't get stuck on top or wherever um but she highly recommends him a total confidence in his skill and ability in doing this work okay makes sense yeah so maybe they just have to wait until the spr warms up a little
yeah all right that it for updates uh B we got photos of completed SL ongoing projects so we do have pictures of the doors these are the new doors before and after paint it's really hard to tell the difference so I was thinking so which do we need to
put all these on the web page do we want certain ones what do you think the before and after like the two white ones and the two black ones so the it's just before and after paint those are the new doors uh but we have the before pictures from when what went um the town meeting so I could do the but do we want to put the before or we want to just put the after this is the completed before and after Story absolutely the after is well without a
before right there's nothing to compare it to so I can add like you know some text that says before and after before and after yeah super simple yeah so so but like I said so these are the doors but then these are them painted so we want just the painted version cuz that's the final final that's the completed I would say you don't need the okay so just do the before and after with the painted doors yeah that was the final but I do think I don't know if I think
our before pictures are just single doors I think it's going to be like two befores and then what one after so none of these what we're looking at is a before correct correct so what if the before is one door then just do the one black door and if it's two doors then do the two black doors you tell by the door knob yeah the door knobs will tell you like what she said the one before the one after but then the finished product is nice too CU it looks nice Chen if you
have one of just one of the old doors you can superimpose that on there so he well we had them separate you show it all in one we had two pictures especially if you're the guy making the slid show like there you go I like that idea get I mean I just I'm not a fan of the town website it's very kind of tricky add and stuff so like certain files it takes certain files it doesn't so I'm still trying to get used to posting these things and that's why I just want to you know straightforward is best
um but like I said I can add like some text to say before and after but it'll be the two doors cuz we didn't have a picture of both of them we just had the one and the one right right didn't don't worry about it it's a door that's it's a door don't stress it just asking you guys what do you want me to do I'm if I put it up there and you guys oh I would we didn't approve this well then if it's that difficult then just say here's a new here's a new to right I
use that picture yeah just keep it as close as possible that's all okay so I'll add the final black and then possibly the before as long as yeah cuz it's going to be like two before okay um next meeting date February 20th 2025 6:30 at the lak police station that'll be our public
hearing do we have a motion oh anything else joh all right does it the public hearing have a beginning time and then an ending time I'm just going to put start 6:30 it just needs a start time is there anything in particular that's supposed to occur during this public just public input that's it that's it yep okay that's your charge CPC
member all right anybody motion everybody get people to come talk it up motion J all right motion okay second second all in favor for
