24
00:11:59.920 --> 00:12:14.800
volunteer, thank you. Huge thank you to the many volunteers who helped with last week's town meeting on May 12th. There's a lot of work that goes into the planning and execution of a town meeting and our volunteers are vital in making sure that the meeting runs smoothly. Uh, if I could just uh piggyback on that,

25
00:12:14.800 --> 00:12:29.760
not just uh the volunteers, but our our staff as well, uh, DPW, uh, it um, LCTV. Uh, there was I I know when I left at after 11:00 at the end of the meeting, I looked around, I saw people waiting to

26
00:12:29.760 --> 00:12:45.279
get the gym te taken down, and there was a lot of work uh, getting the technology going. It was a it was a marathon night. Um, and thank you to everyone involved and uh also to moderator Rebecca Townsen who's always uh I don't know how she

27
00:12:45.279 --> 00:13:02.160
does it. Um, kept us kept us online uh even at I think at 9:40 when she was pleading for us to >> vote on our second our second warrant article. Um, so thank you to everyone involved. Uh, and again, congrats to um

28
00:13:02.160 --> 00:13:20.079
our two Longo police officers. Uh, it's a great achievement. Um, anybody else on kudos and plaudits? >> Okay. >> I I just Yeah, I just wanted to I I know you already congratulated them, Josh, but Betsy and Al McKe uh for the citizen

29
00:13:20.079 --> 00:13:37.279
of the year award. Um I mean they've just been doing phenomenal work specifically with the historical um society uh for you know several years and bringing Long Meadows history to the forefront and doing various activities.

30
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:54.000
So I just wanted to you know first and foremost congratulate them for for everything that they've done and continue to do um to help bring history forward in Long Meadow and and they do a great job um each and every year. So >> congratulations. Good point, Dan. And then we're gonna they're going to be very visible this year with we're gonna

31
00:13:54.000 --> 00:14:11.120
have a lot of events that they were a big part of moving forward on. So, congratulations to them and welld deserved. >> Yes. >> Okay. Uh seeing nothing else, we will move on to select board comments.

32
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:27.279
>> I have two brief comments. >> Go ahead. >> Um one is around the moderniz town meeting modernization. One, I wanted to thank Mr. Tansky for his email um as well as I think many of us had heard from other residents on this topic before around modernizing town meeting.

33
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:43.839
I just wanted to bring it up here and um suggest and I talked to Lynn and Josh earlier about bringing this up as an agenda item on one of our upcoming town our select board meetings just to discuss that if that's the the right venue. I think there is an opportunity for us to modernize the town meeting um

34
00:14:43.839 --> 00:15:01.279
with the purpose of kind of gaining greater uh resident engagement and um attendance. So, wanted to just make sure I kept that on our radar. And then two, somewhat connected to that, after the last couple of town meetings, I was noticing um just the citizen uh bylaw.

35
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:16.639
I'm wondering if there's an opportunity one I'm I will also ask to put this on an upcoming select board uh meeting as a topic but um also wanted to just talk a little bit about at some point um if there's anything the select board could do from a policy perspective or a

36
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:31.199
standard perspective to help ensure that the bylaws put forth by our residents um just have greater opportunity for kind of success andor just awareness of kind of what they entail.

37
00:15:31.199 --> 00:15:48.240
for operationalizing and um kind of just to help the process a little bit and and help the town. I'm probably not articulating that as clearly, but I thought a broader discussion around those two topics would be helpful. >> Yeah. Um

38
00:15:48.240 --> 00:16:04.800
thank you for bringing those up. Uh and I would just touch on briefly. I I heard from people the day after the town meeting and after every big vote, we I'm sure all of us hear from people who say, "Why do we have town meeting? with change of former government. Um, and we've covered this a lot in the last two

39
00:16:04.800 --> 00:16:21.440
years. Uh, you know, careful what you wish for, but modernizing town meeting is, I think, a different ball game. Um, and I I did a little research on this after Mr. Tansy's email, and there are a few towns out

40
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:37.839
east that have looked into remote open town meeting. And then if you have a representative town meeting, you can have hybrid no matter what. >> Um, and then there's a bill floating through the legislature about uh I think it's called the modernizing form local

41
00:16:37.839 --> 00:16:54.639
government bill or something that would allow towns to opt into remote open meetings. Uh, I I don't think this is like the magic pill that would cure all of our ills, but it and it would be a logistical nightmare. I'm sure uh our IT

42
00:16:54.639 --> 00:17:10.959
folks are would sweat thinking about it, but it's definitely something worth exploring. >> Yeah, I figured, you know, we could at least look at some options and see what might be even something to pilot. Um so obvious Yeah, I definitely agree. There's more research and and discussions to be had, but um it sounds

43
00:17:10.959 --> 00:17:26.400
easy the words moderniz modernizing town meeting. I know it's a lot harder than uh than we're just saying, but I figured if it's a topic on the agenda, we can discuss it and figure out what we'd want to do, if anything. >> When you did your research, did you see

44
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:42.480
how you actually vote remotely? >> There's no >> because I don't think anybody's done it yet. >> Oh, okay. Okay. >> There I'm sure there's other states that do something with it. Uh you'll have to get like a login tied to your residency.

45
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:58.880
I I have no idea. Um there are I think I remember conquered might be one of them. There's a few towns that are doing like a six town five or six town remote or um pilot program. Do you know if anybody have done them yet? >> Um I don't know. They hosted a webinar

46
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:15.520
for cities and towns to look to learn from them. Um I attended, Mike attended and I believe Rebecca was there. Um but it was still very much in the trial phase. Yeah, it's uh I it would be a huge

47
00:18:15.520 --> 00:18:33.280
hurdle, I'm sure, but definitely worth >> thinking about. Um I'm all for any way to increase participation in our uh our oldest form of democracy. However, >> yeah, >> uh for good or ill, but the more people that are involved, the better we are, I

48
00:18:33.280 --> 00:18:49.440
think. >> Agreed. >> Um anybody else for comments? Okay. Yeah. And like uh Shelley said, we will bring that up. It will be on a later agendas. >> Thank you. >> We're keeping today short to uh average

49
00:18:49.440 --> 00:19:11.760
out ourselves over the last two weeks at >> three weeks. >> Okay. I'll move on to applications. >> All right. I will uh move to approve the uh first church's witness stone installation ceremony street closure application. >> Second.

50
00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:29.760
>> All right. Anything further? >> All those in favor? >> Oh, and um I the one I'm I just clicked off the agenda and it still it does not have the approved version. I think that was >> Did Mike send that separately? >> Mike sent it. Just if anybody's looking,

51
00:19:29.760 --> 00:19:45.360
>> it might not have um been update. Oh, this one's been approved. We had a glitch on Friday with the agenda and it So, you notice it's posted twice. If you click the one for May 15th that shows the date of May 15th, that

52
00:19:45.360 --> 00:20:01.200
has the most up-to-date information. We were unable to delete the incorrect one or the double posting. Um, so we have a ticket in with our website provider. >> That's odd. >> Yeah, it was never had that happen

53
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:16.000
before. >> I'm looking at May 14th, which was the top one. >> Yeah, that one is does not have the up-to-date information. >> Okay. Yeah. So, I knew if anybody clicks on that one and sees that it wasn't approved, that's why.

54
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:35.039
Okay. Um, sorry. So, we have a a motion and a second. All those in favor. Oh, and we should mention, sorry, no, this is well out of order. Uh, Andrew is not here because his son is graduating college today. >> That's exciting. >> Um, yeah. So, congratulations to him and

55
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:51.760
um to the Lamb family. Uh, a great accomplishment. And he did say he would he would come anyway. I said you're too dedicated. Go enjoy yourself. Um, all right. Sorry. All right. Go ahead to center school field day. >> Yep. I will move to approve the center

56
00:20:51.760 --> 00:21:07.120
school field a um street closure application for May 29th 2026. >> Second. >> Want to add in the rain date? >> Oh um sorry I don't have this p June 1st >> with a rain date of June 1st.

57
00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:25.520
>> Okay we have a motion and a second. Anything further? All those in favor? >> I was going to say go team red. That was my color. I don't know. The vinkage are green. >> Okay. Um and then moving on to Fletchers

58
00:21:25.520 --> 00:21:58.720
and we have Bill here. Mhm. >> Hi, Bill. >> Hey, guys. How are you? >> I'm great, thank you. Why don't you uh tell us what you're looking for today? Yeah, we um so we did that fall festival last year and it was um really a really

59
00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:14.880
fun time. It was actually one of my favorite things um that Fletchers has done in town. Um and we're really trying to just do it again for a spring festival on June 14th. So the same idea um entertainment, a band, bounce houses and

60
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:31.360
face painting for kids and kids activities. Um, a bunch of food, um, bunch of cocktails and wine and beer, cornhole and long games and, um, just like a fun day on a Sunday in June. >> Great. Um, I wasn't able to make it last

61
00:22:31.360 --> 00:22:47.840
year. Where did people park? >> You know, I was so in the thick of like smoking meat and serving it that I had no idea where people parked. Um it was I think we had about we had like

62
00:22:47.840 --> 00:23:05.520
you know digital counters or like manual counters trying to figure out how many people came. I think we had 600 people. >> Wow. >> Um >> awesome. >> And a lot of the businesses in the Baldi's Plaza are closed on Sunday. So my instinct is that most people just parked in the parking lots.

63
00:23:05.520 --> 00:23:22.799
>> Okay. Um and I know we got there's police approval on this. What Lynn? Do you know if there was any issue last year with uh parking or traffic? >> Nothing that comes to mind. I don't believe we even heard anything about it. So that's usually a good indication. >> Good. >> Okay. Any other questions from the rest

64
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:39.679
of the board? >> No. >> I think we have two uh two applications here. >> Yeah. For a one day liquor license, >> one day liquor and the uh annual entertainment. >> All right. I will move to approve uh

65
00:23:39.679 --> 00:23:56.880

66
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:12.000
>> Second. >> All right. Anything further? >> All right. All those in favor? All right. Good luck, Bill. >> Thank you so much, guys. Really appreciate the support. Thank you. Great. >> Thank you. And then do we need to do the other one too or no? >> Do we have to do the liquor license separate?

67
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:26.400
>> I just said there's two more >> or sorry I I just did the liquor license. >> Yeah, annual entertainment license. >> Uh and then I will also move to approve Fletcher's uh annual entertainment license. Second. >> All right. Anything further? All those

68
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:57.600
in favor. >> Okay. Moving on to town manager's report. >> Okay, let me just um move Bill back out and pull up my report. Okay, it's a short one to match our

69
00:24:57.600 --> 00:25:14.320
short meeting tonight. Uh demolition of the old DPW facility. I'm really happy to announce that after years of planning, permitting, and designing, the invitation for bid has been released for the demolition of the old DPW facility on Pondside, we are expecting responses

70
00:25:14.320 --> 00:25:31.520
to that bid um on June 9th. So, I'll look forward to bringing back an update to you at our next meeting in June. And stores library building renovation project. For those people who attended town meeting on May 12th, you likely spoke with someone from stores library board of trustees who were out front of

71
00:25:31.520 --> 00:25:46.880
the meeting uh trying to provide information on the library and their uh renovation project. Uh but for those people who were not able to attend, I have provided a link to the flyer here and a link to their building renovation page so people can uh get up to speed on

72
00:25:46.880 --> 00:26:02.320
what the library is trying to put forward and and make people aware of. And just a further update on the future building use task force. They're actively now seeking community feedback on old town hall, town hall, and community house. Residents can continue

73
00:26:02.320 --> 00:26:18.320
to learn more about the project and um fill out a form to provide feedback. Um here is a the actual flyer that's been handed out at large events and they're working on additional community engagement strategies in the future. And

74
00:26:18.320 --> 00:26:35.760
then there's a flyer here for the stores as well attached to my report. That's all I have for you tonight. >> All right. Anything on any of the monthly reports? >> Um I just go ahead. >> Thanks. I was I was just going to say um

75
00:26:35.760 --> 00:26:52.400
I did get some positive feedback in terms of one of the decisions that we made. Um and it was to to really break up the building from from Glen Brook. um just members of that committee were really thankful that they're they're finding that there's a lot of work uh

76
00:26:52.400 --> 00:27:07.760
involved with this. So they just were like commending the select board for for uh dividing and conquering um uh both of those committees or the you know future committee that we'll have as well. So I did want to share that. >> Okay. Thanks Dan. Yeah, I think good to

77
00:27:07.760 --> 00:27:24.240
keep focused on that. Um I I just wanted to mention from the planning and community development I uh the note about the electoral inspector which I know we've had trouble filling that planning to share with Eastong Meadow

78
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:40.480
is that do we do that with any other positions? >> Um we share health positions not with East Long Meadow. Um so that I I haven't had a chance to read the report yet so I'm not sure how um concrete of language they used. It is completely exploratory

79
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:55.200
right now. >> Oh, that's Yeah, that's what it says. We're playing the list that it would be more be more attractive. >> Yes. Yes. It makes a lot of sense if we can pull it off. Uh but I'm we're still in early discussions with them. >> That seems like a great way to go about for a position that may not be full-time

80
00:27:55.200 --> 00:28:11.520
that we if we can share it uh then we can maybe fill some of our vacancies like our three-year uh >> fleet mechanic. >> Yeah. >> Okay. And then um I just noticed on the fire department that there is now fully

81
00:28:11.520 --> 00:28:28.000
staffed to implement the the new rotation that Chief Rney wanted. >> So that's that's great. Um I'm glad to see that that's working out. >> Okay. Anybody else? >> Lindy, do we get any interest in the task force that you posted? >> Yes. Great. Yes, we do. Um I have more

82
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:44.320
applicants than I have spaces for. That's fantastic. >> Yeah, it's great. Um and I'll be having conversations with uh the people that applied next week. Great. >> And the ones that don't make it, there's plenty of open seats for other committees.

83
00:28:44.320 --> 00:29:01.679
>> Okay. Uh moving on to correspondence. Uh I Mr. Linder uh the first three emails about his our first three attachments uh regarding his water bill. If I may looks at that, uh it is I

84
00:29:01.679 --> 00:29:20.320
believe being handled um by email Lisa today. So I I think that that is underway. Um so we we do respond to people and do our best to to help. And then thank you to Susie for her for her uh input. U M

85
00:29:20.320 --> 00:29:35.520
correspondence. Okay, great. Let's go on to old business. Approval of the May 4th meeting minutes. I will move to approve the May 4th, 2026 select board meeting minutes. >> Second. >> Anything further?

86
00:29:35.520 --> 00:29:54.559
>> All those in favor? Um, okay, Lyn, go ahead. We have a town management town manager budget task force vote to approve the scope. >> Yeah. So, no changes have been made since the last time you looked at this scope. Um, I wanted to give you an opportunity to take a look at it. Um,

87
00:29:54.559 --> 00:30:10.399
think about it, ask me questions or make suggestions. Um, and then I was hoping that you would adopt the scope so that I could finalize it and send it out to the, um, school committee and finance committee to ask for their representation. Uh, the superintendent

88
00:30:10.399 --> 00:30:27.360
has already seen the draft and is um um very eager to sit on this group with us. Uh so really I'm just looking for a vote to endorse the scope. >> My only question is uh how do you feel on the timing? I think this is >> it's tight. >> Yeah, it is tight.

89
00:30:27.360 --> 00:30:44.799
>> Um talk I've talked with Mike about it. Uh I will likely give up the future building use task force. He will take that over and I will take this one on. >> Is the idea So we are before our next budget season. >> Yes. >> Okay. Um we this budget

90
00:30:44.799 --> 00:31:01.760
uh was really challenging as you know and um I was very concerned that if we don't start having these tough conversations sooner than later that I and Ian would be making really tough decisions on our own. Um and I just

91
00:31:01.760 --> 00:31:16.720
don't feel like I I want to do that. I want to have as much time as I can and as much input input as I can to figure out how we're going to move forward. I just worry about the summer, but if you're if you're doing things remotely, it y >> that should work. >> Um I Yeah,

92
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:32.559
>> sorry. Um when we did structure out the roughly the months so that we could kind of try to streamline what it is we're looking at so it's not just this big one ask and then we have to divvy it up. We thought about how to what makes most the

93
00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:49.360
most sense to walk someone through it. So that that's why you see it broken out into um different strategies here. >> Okay. >> And I when you'll read one news article about an override failing in Massachusetts, my

94
00:31:49.360 --> 00:32:06.159
Google decides to feed you all. So I I see the overrides >> passing, failing constantly. It's just uh it is unavoidable news if you're paying attention in Massachusetts. and we have to really uh think about what that looks

95
00:32:06.159 --> 00:32:22.080
like, if that's where we get and how far out we can push it and if we can avoid it. >> Um but yeah, I I think that this is well thought out and uh I appreciate you taking it on and being aggressive about it. That that's really the key.

96
00:32:22.080 --> 00:32:38.159
>> I agree. I think it's a really great approach. I like how you laid it out. Um, I agree the timeline is aggressive, but I think it's including all the right people and I love the idea of having that bigger picture, longer term view. I think that's going to help us to Josh and both your points. So, I I think it's

97
00:32:38.159 --> 00:32:53.279
a great I didn't have any um edits or adjustments. Great. >> Anybody else? >> Okay. >> I'll make a motion that we accept the town manager budget task force as written. >> Second.

98
00:32:53.279 --> 00:33:14.159
>> Any further? All those in favor. Okay. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. All right. And you got the next one as well. Vote on solar credit cash out. >> Yep. So, similar at the last meeting, I gave you a heads up on on this and I'm just looking for um I guess guidance,

99
00:33:14.159 --> 00:33:29.840
acceptance, um acknowledgement of the direction to go with this. Um, again, we can continue to push do um and we have a difference of opinion. I don't believe that it's the best use of our time or money at this point to have town council

100
00:33:29.840 --> 00:33:47.360
continue um working on that effort. Uh I'd rather at this point have Eversource issue us the check. It will hit our free cash uh for certification for the FY26 free cash which we could then decide what to do within the fall. Um, I would

101
00:33:47.360 --> 00:34:03.360
have conversations with you as we set the warrant on our my thoughts on what we should do with that. Hopefully, we can align somewhere along there and um use that money toward some of our energy resiliency and um energy reduction efforts.

102
00:34:03.360 --> 00:34:18.240
>> And what is our um do we have a guideline on what we can use free cash for? >> No, >> that's all it's up to us. Okay. >> Yep. Um, and if we don't vote for this, our choices are it just sits there

103
00:34:18.240 --> 00:34:33.760
>> or we and we can fight it or or this. We don't really have a choice. >> Yeah. The money sits with Eversource until I tell them to issue the check to me and then um if we don't have this revolving fund set up, it goes to free

104
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:50.960
cash. if we we could set the revolving fund up regardless of do and risk them closing it out at the end of the fiscal year. Well, it would be next year at this point. >> Um and then the money goes to free cash anyway. Um or we could push this to the

105
00:34:50.960 --> 00:35:07.119
attorney general's office and ask that they get involved with interpreting the statute. >> I I to me we have enough other things going on with town council. I I don't think it's worth the funds when we we

106
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:23.680
can direct this money where we want. It's not a revolving fund. So, it's a little le it's not setting a permanent legacy, but we can make some choices now and use it how we see fit. >> I agree.

107
00:35:23.680 --> 00:35:39.200
>> Yeah. Well said, Josh. >> All right. Well, uh, I liked your revolving fund idea, but given the circumstances, I think this is what we do. >> Okay, we have a motion. >> I agree. Um, I will move to

108
00:35:39.200 --> 00:35:56.800
um direct the tow manager to um request the solar credit cash out from Eversource. >> Second. >> Any further? All those in favor? >> Thank you. >> Okay. Uh, we're going to hazard

109
00:35:56.800 --> 00:36:12.560
mitigation plan. And is that what Tim is here for? >> It is. So, I can tee this up while Tim's coming in. Um, this is a project that has been hanging around for a bit. We have a hazard mitigation plan. We have been

110
00:36:12.560 --> 00:36:28.800
working to update it. Uh, it has been with um FEMA um for quite some time. Uh, and it just Sorry, I got distracted with that. Um, and it we just got um approval from

111
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:45.359
FEMA. I want to say last week, Tim. It might have been a week before that. Uh, and the this is the last step in the process to have um you adopt it. Uh, then we are in good standing regarding

112
00:36:45.359 --> 00:37:01.119
our hazard mitigation plan, which is very important when it comes to federal grants. and I hope to be able to bring you some really positive news soon on that front. We need this in place for that to the next piece to happen.

113
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:17.680
>> Have we gotten any federal grants in the past for uh the tornado or the the micro burst that we had a couple years ago? >> Um FEMA funding for those. No, for um the snow and ice storm in 2011

114
00:37:17.680 --> 00:37:34.000
I the town did. Yes. Um we but it's broader than just uh hazard type grants. The land and water conservation fund is a federal grant. The federal land access program flap it's called. Those are federal um grants. We have been awarded

115
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:49.760
one of those in the past for pawnside road. Um and then we we are hopeful on this other federal grant we have in the queue right now. >> Okay. So if we have this that helps us in general it ticks a box that we have a hazard mitigation plan and >> Yes. Great.

116
00:37:49.760 --> 00:38:04.880
>> Yeah. >> All right. Um Tim, could you introduce yourself and uh is there anything else you want to add? >> Um can you guys hear me first of all or? >> Yep. >> All right. So Tim Keane, town engineer. Um like Lynn said, this has been going

117
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:19.920
on for like four years, but and part of that um delay in the whole process been transition with internally with fire chief and Karen and u our consultant was Beta. They had two different project managers. There's a federal government

118
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:35.920
shutdown that delayed the FEMA review. But we uh back on May 5th, we got a a message from FEMA saying that they were um like a conditional approval pending select board adoption of uh of the of the hazard mitigation plan. And then we

119
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:55.359
send that back to FEMA and that would be basically the final step at that point. Is there anything in the plan that you wanted to uh discuss? >> No, we had we had several uh um internal

120
00:38:55.359 --> 00:39:10.560
meetings with the f with fire department uh police department and I think it was fully vetted and then there was there was a public um participations like a two-month period. Really didn't get a lot of input from the public, but I

121
00:39:10.560 --> 00:39:26.960
>> I think it's been pretty well um advertise and and reviewed. At this point, I think it's I think we're at the finish line. >> All right. >> Anybody else have anything to add or any questions for Tim? >> No.

122
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:44.160
>> No. Entertain a motion to adopt the hazard mitigation plan. >> So moved. >> Second. >> All right. Anything further? All those in favor? All right. Thank you, Tim.

123
00:39:44.160 --> 00:40:04.400
>> Thank you. >> Okay. And finally, we have the uh 20 fiscal year 2026 town manager evaluation. Uh the three of us have done this before. This will be your first one, Shelley. Uh so it's a

124
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:22.160
fillable form that uh we used to in our discussion of Lynn's performance over the last year and uh you can see it has one through five on a number of different categories. Um and this

125
00:40:22.160 --> 00:40:38.079
becomes when you do this it becomes it'll be compiled by uh Peggy and Mike uh and then it becomes public. So, this will be on a future agenda and uh this is our chance to tell Lynn uh give her

126
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:53.280
feedback uh things that are going well, things that we'd like to see uh done differently or um how however you want to put it. >> Okay. >> Um and then we also as part of the discussion of women's compensation

127
00:40:53.280 --> 00:41:08.079
package, uh it's something we discuss as well. So, uh there is we're trying to get this on the next meeting. Uh usually it gets announced the la the second meeting in May and then the first meeting in June is when you

128
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:25.359
do an executive session. Sometimes you do a public session that meeting and sometimes it carries over to the second meeting in June. >> That's actually it's after the election, right? >> Your next meeting is the day before the election. >> It's the day before the election. Okay. >> June 1st.

129
00:41:25.359 --> 00:41:40.800
>> Okay. Um yeah. So, this is just to let us know and we will uh go home and work on it tonight if you'd like. >> I was going to say we fill these out individually and then >> there's directions on on the on the

130
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:56.240
agenda. Okay. >> But you fill it out and then uh you sign send it to Peggy and it'll be compiled and then we'll talk about it at a future meeting. >> If it's helpful for you to see what was done last year, it's linked on the June agenda last year.

131
00:41:56.240 --> 00:42:13.119
>> Okay? So you can just see what the compilation ends up looking like and the kind of comments or feedback that >> okay >> has been submitted in the past. >> Thank you. >> It's really not that exciting just to >> All good things though for one.

132
00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:28.079
>> Do you find it helpful when we have when we put suggestions in there? >> Absolutely. Yeah. I I think it's I know it's a timeconsuming task. Um, so if there's anything I can do to make it easier, I try to comp compile those weekly emails and send them to you in

133
00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:44.160
chronological order if you have, you know, a day and a half to read through them. Um, but uh, I find the comments really helpful. >> Okay, >> great. Um, Ryan, you can talk to me if you have

134
00:42:44.160 --> 00:43:00.520
any >> Perfect questions going forward. >> Okay. >> Okay. Uh, oh, this is a record during my run. Just entertain a motion to adjurnn. >> So moved. Second. >> Second. >> All right. All those in favor? >> All right.
