do the do the Americans I'm sorry sure I thought okay so um this afternoon you um have approved four additional um applications that brings the grant total to 226 applications approved by the Commissioners um we have approximately
$8 million remaining um to be awarded to just over eight communities many of the eight have like one more application to go um and I want to let you know I I spoke to you last week about bringing in a more concise presentation on where we
stand that'll be ready next week it's under construction right now it's coming together very nicely I think it's time that commission kind of take a u perspective view on on where the program has come from where it is today and obviously where it's heading um the the approvals today include two for norfor
County as well as two from Brooklyn as commissioner stady indicated um the first one for the county was 151,000 uh $743 this is a very important um application working with uh our facilities Department W Recreational facility and schools grounds and
Facilities um we have accumulated uh requests for equipment um and tools needed for each of those three areas um and specifically in while Recreational facility Carl Des desired a brand new uh truck to help him um with the work they
do up there um so overall this 151,000 is basically a a mini Capital uh budget if you will for this fiscal year which you know we don't have one um so it's feeding funds into these very active groups to help them with their equipment over the next several years the next um
application um also for the county of nor for County was um $228,800 um we had received a quote about a year ago from um industrial burner to go forward and um look at ways to optimize
or improve the U efficiency and use of our of our boilers um as you probably know from earlier conversations many of our boilers are steam we can't convert them to force hard air and get overhauled um systems in place it would be cost prohibitive however using this
core of a million dollars or so we're able to improve the efficiency and use of boilers at stoen rthm and Cline District Court which is a big Improvement um we look forward to having um these rooftop units installed uh shortly that'll be going up this wall as
commissioner State again ston rthm and what else uh St rthm in Brooklyn oh Brooklyn good okay that had already been done okay great um the town of Brookline this week their new application was a reimbursement uh for recovery and
program expansion of the Brookline teen center which is delivered on on Equity Focus programming to ensure that bipar teams are not left behind by the town the funding was used to invest in Personnel program design and Financial Health to support postco recovery and
expand program offerings and finally the fourth one which was much discussed last week funds $1 million to the Brookline Center for Community Mental Health um so again uh nice to see Brookline moving ahead with its close out according to
their plan I hope to see um a few more applic in the next couple of weeks to get closer to the end game but for sure next week you'll receive a full presentation on what that is starting to look like um we're entering a very important phase uh following the award of our final grants and that will be monitoring you'll be hearing more about
that in the coming months thank you Mr chairman than you any questions about Opera no good job okay thank you number 12 report from the procurement Department bid openings and contract Awards good afternoon

county director to I'm sorry 13 13 electronic security system upgrade for denim Superior Courthouse there is a copy of it here in your packet it's quite extensive director coronin please thank you um Commissioners earlier this year
um the tri courts approached the county with a request to upgrade the locks and keys access to All County court houses after discussions with our maintenance department we simply made a a request that any such effort includes copies of
all such keys to be provided to the county we own the buildings we need to have access to them for security and safety reasons um the time is upon us the uh the denam Superior Court will begin um getting the these Keys upgraded um uh starting next Tuesday after the
holiday they will move quickly into the other remaining courts in norfor County including Stoten Dam Brook line and RAM to complete their task I think it'll take them about three to four months um Mr MCW and his staff have been um helpful coordinating access for the
workers to begin prepping for the work but I just want to let the Commissioners know it's a significant move in the direction of securing the courts it does impact your your assets and um it was properly bit and U we properly informed by the courts um SL trial courts earlier
this year so that's all it is simply announcement we'll keep the inform there's any problems or issues but all the work will be performed after hours on the 23d shift so this is oh sorry if iead this is for the superior
for yep it's giving you an indication of the scope of work because it starts with Superior right okay yep yeah we don't have the Vindication they're paying for it it's being paid for by a state Bond okay do we need to take any kind of vote
on this or no it's an FYI okay important that's great okay and if this we're going to go forward do you have a time frame on this um they expect um all the norfor county courts to be completed in the next three to four months okay this one starts on Tuesday
and I suspect it'll take at least a week or two not being a pain but I thought the agenda said if to vote to enable the contractor to endorse the statement of work that's on a separate contract that's coming up next number 13 okay I jumped the gun my bad I did too so okay
okay so this is FYI that's all I just wanted the commission understand when I first about it um in the spring yep it was in the spring and it was a curious uh request I understood the need for it but uh I was surprised early this week when they notified me they were starting
next week I reached out to Mr Macwan um I wanted to ensure that the deal in place was to make sure our facility people still had keys to everything um despite the fact that they're paying for it it's our building and they agreed to do that that was all I heard about good okay any particular questions about
this I mean it's always good to work at the state get some improvements in that court and busy busy place next two things next one is not quot related one after it is number 14
request to enable the county director to Endor the proposed statement of work Master agreement for Clifton L and Allen as it relates to opal Services as a copy of it in your pacet dated September 26 six Master
service agreement Commissioners County director why don't you to Enlighten us this is a furtherance is this probably the last contract we have with them on this um it it it may very well be um so before you is um a master service agreement coming
from Clifton Larson who was on state contract um for the last uh three years we've worked with them as the primary auditor on uh our arpa grant program the performed exception as well this would be the second um Amendment to the
contract since you signed on in the summer of 2021 um we're keeping up with the rates negotiated by the state um the rates as stated are shown on page two uh four in your master Services agreement um essentially they're going up
approximately $5 per hour for the various services that are provided by their Associates their senior staff manager signing director principle of quality insur as the commission has probably understand by now uh funding to offset these expenses is isolated within
the arpa grant this is part of the 3% set aside for programs in administration I've worked out a model where the projected billable hours for these Services into the monitoring phase for 25 and 26 would be accounted for under this new rate so it's covered under our
existing budget um these this agreement has already been endorsed by Barnstable and Bristol um um upon your vote today I'll endorse this and get it back to them will'll be the third I believe Plymouth will come in right behind us uh we're all agreeing the same state
terms so the four counties are all in the same boat so that's right and that's been the case since the beginning this is a extension of what we've been doing for the last three years yes sir okay any questions Commissioners answered them all that's fine I think so well all the counties are on Bo it and it's
handled within our budget so we can handle it it's within y yeah yeah that would be fine if he doesn't have any questions I I move to uh uh enable County director Cronin to endorse a proposed statement of work and master service agreement
with c and Lawson for the related out Services is that for a period two years do I want to say that or do I want to just I want to say for a period this particular outline contract um give one second good question us have a period of
time um this master service agreement shall continue for 3 years from this date um September 26 2024 yeah unless terminated earlier by giving appropriate notes so three years so I we say for an effective date September 26 2024 for
period not to exceed three years or have terminated by mutual agreement perfect right so moved second motion made and seconded uh to enable the county director to endorse the proposed statement of work and master service agreement with
Clifton L and Allen as it relates to the Op Services going forward all in favor all it is a v it is a footnote there the three-year period takes us beyond the close out of arpa because for the first uh well definitely the first four months
but perhaps the first six months of 2027 right we have some reporting to I'm sure that's why a little over okay I figured that that's good because it ends in 26 but in 27 there'll be some question questions and followup reports reports right right right what about can I ask
Mr Question Mr what about our other groups like our Law Firm mince Le and the other CPA we have very minimal impact at this point so we don't need to extend there no we're paying the same rates as we have they they work has not changed at all it's gone down we haven't received a bill from mince Le in
probably a year don't use in the secondary County was on board but yeah that's that right now that's uh Capital strategies and uh we we continue to get there um reviews and it's their their activity will almost completely cease at the end
of December yeah say they're done by because that's their job was to review the applications more or less so these guys will be the ones we'll be working with next oh that's when the Intensive monitoring starts okay good oh good that's great okay that's fine thanks Mr
chairman and do we have the same contact piece people going along at Christ Lawson say again same contact person we oh yes yeah they haven't had any okay um change it all in Personnel we're very happy with their that's fine number 15 and I thought we had to
copy this but I can't see it yet and I want to look at it Courthouse rental request oh yeah we have a letter it's a letter it's this thing I had it I think I had it earlier in the day bu gentlemen yeah this is a notice
uh our request fulfillment I'm a gentleman he's a location scout in manager I the wrong one no filming commercial wait with Rosario coo currently working with a small Law Firm commercial is think about
filming a one day somewhere between October 14th maybe the 15th we'd like to rent the N Spirit court for purposes of making commercial um director K put this on the agenda because the gentleman presented himself
here I think he first went to the court clerk's office sent him to us we do have a history of running a court for films and other things but I don't know and I did John was kind enough to let me know about this I did
spend some time on it um I can't find that we've ever rented it for a commercial or someone to do a commercial and I think in these days that building is such a treasure in a lot of ways but
it's also a very busy building and especially this time of year the last six or eight months and we know what the new session is going to bring in it's about to get busy again huh it's busy again I I was going to ask you probably the same page as you I got I have no
problem with the idea but what do they do they normally they probably get the okay from us and then do they have to work with the magistrate or the assistant magist St to figure out a schedule when they could use it I mean they me I I mean we're doing a lot of
work yeah there's a lot of big there's a lot of cases there whether they're big or small they go They're ongoing and uh I think it' be pretty difficult at this time that's what does it have to be that building could it be another building that we have I we don't
want another building BL courtroom you know could we rent them rent them cour we can always I mean Mr chair we could always grant them Mission subject to availability and then we have to then we go through the proper channels I mean we we have a new magistrate coming in in November I believe or so so maybe they
one of was first TS maybe they work with Mary hickey and look at the schedule I don't know I thought the same thing though it's going to get pretty busy I me get it busy over there so but I I'm always willing to help people out if we can give them a a
contingent on if we do it for one what if it's a big success cuz it's such a beautiful old building it looks like a courthouse you know and uh if we do for one we're going to have to do for others I don't
know and it's different than uh you know than movies movies have a more well it was a movie I'm pretty sure there was a Netflix movie that was filmed on us inistry the judge the judge was uh the movie the judge was filmed in the spirit
three or four yeah and there's another one about a lady rips off elderly people I can't think I name of it now but she she rips them off and this I know in the I recognize the fun steps of the registry right um right yeah so I mean I I I don't
know um what we hear from the director go ahead John the request um is the commissioner just indicated came forth from the um individual who visited the trial court spoke with um uh the second assistant clerk um the trial
courts uh are an important um component of this discussion they operate a criminal justice system within the building and um Mir hickey indicated that um there were several concerns about this request um namely the fact
that as I just mentioned a vendor is going to start work in that building next Tuesday working during the hours that this particular um shoot would be requested to operate so it's kind of kind of conflicting with the priority of getting the locks and keys changed in
that building that would present an operational problem in addition as commission state began to elude they're about to get a lot busier there's a very high-profile case beginning very shortly um in this case um this particular request um is for a for-profit
commercial entity um I don't know exactly where they're from they are um I've noticed their commercials on TV yep um shooting they are cleared by the mass film Bureau but it's the first request in my term where somebody would
look to um shoot a for-profit commercial within uh one of your courts and at this point I think um given the collision with expected construction and concerns over how this would play with future requests um it presents quite a
challenge for the Commissioners one that I think would be avoided by declining this request I'll just I'll counter respectfully I mean just reading the letter for the second time they're only looking for one day not a week it's one day and they mention they'll do it after
hours they'll do it after hours I mean so and they're doing it in October the trial that we're both going to be thinking about is set to be resume in January and February there's one before that another Cohasset case oh my
goodness okay the one day doesn't it's it's one day the one day is not my issue I think the issue is Yeah the more people get exposed to this beautiful building it it is the Quin sentential American courthouse and
we're very proud of it but it's very busy and very tight I don't I just don't think this's because if how once we start one how are we going to refuse others that's that was the way I was looking well how about if we do this can we then tell the it sounds like we're not going to get
this approved uh direct our director coronin art Mr Buckley who I thought the letter was written Billy Buckley I don't know why it came to me okay let's just say uh we have concerns about use of that Courthouse because of anticipated
time Tri but you're welome examine other cour houses if you want or something are we open to that or we don't want to do any cour houses I mean oh I mean I'm it's just that one I'm I mean I we I'm proud of all the cour houses I mean Dam
District courts right across the street that looks like a courthouse too but this courthouse is special in how my beloved huh maybe I can have a walk on a pot of something don't I'm kidding I'm kidding all right so had opening for the defendant I think
it needs further study I think it needs further study minimally it's your call Mr chair I know no I mean I I don't want to you know we want to put everything we get on well he went to October 14th and today's October what is it
8th so we got I just don't think we could do we to get the guy decision today so I'm kind of reluctant to get into so before we're in the movie business right basically and uh and the money that we
would receive as part of the rental we gave to charitable CA and we were happy to do that right um I think this is a little different because this is uh advertising and what do we do in the next Law Firm once they come and and and
meet with us we can't if we start this now how we going to say no in the future so I'm kind of kind of reluctant to start the advertisement business personally just Case by case I you know that's a good that's a good point too commissioner I I I look at it if we can
do some good there's so a crying need listen we have so many organizations we could give charitable money too I mean this about Florida's about to go under they can use some help with the Hurricane Relief Fund we've got our own organizations in our own County they're always looking for fun so I look at it
as a balancing test I respect what you're saying I'll go along with the board I'm not going to fall on my sword on this but I looked at it as just as one day after hours you know that we could just get a few dollars and donate it to a charity about somebody in our County you know but um whatever you wish
I think when you get into the advertising game it you're almost endorsing those individual companies by allowing them to use your your courthouse and again I feel how do you say yes to no and and yes to one and no to another I don't I don't think I want to get caught up in
that okay so just help me out I was just before my time maybe how did those other companies like Netflix and all those get used to registry isn't that our they gave us months notice okay months if not several so it's time they did it off
time usually satday Sunday I see in the summer months they did it a lot yeah and was time when when the court they they paid for the court Personnel uh they were a big boom to the uh the local businesses true that's right they brought kind they brought in hundreds of
people and they were using um all the local establishments and so we were helping Dam we were helping we were helping different causes uh we worked with the um with the clerk of courts just to make sure that it worked with Within okay their parameters and we always get the green light from them
before we even considered it it's good to know oh seems like the clerk or the assistant clerk has problems right she had concerns relative to the collision with the expected they did refer it to us so which which is probably so maybe on this I mean I I hope we're not going
to be closed totally to look because I think there's a tremendous no gain to get charity and help out our well we do that a lot I mean the courts used after hours for um for different uh meetings that are very helpful to the community so so we're open to different things I
just I don't know if we want to get into the advertisement business I mean what um I just I don't want to favor one um business establishment over another within noro County you know what I mean
that's that's where I have a problem Mr CH help about I I'll move I will move that we table the request from uh who's the company here from Mr Jeff Dy of spontaneous Productions uh to you he's a location
coordinator right I guess his request his letter uh for a purpose of a filming at Superior Court on the date that he requested and that we maybe communicate to him our concerns about the timing the
anticipated use of the court in question and at the need for perhaps even a little bit more advance uh request would be in order something like that I understand what you're saying if I could ask point of order I don't understand how um tabling would
work if you could explain that they're looking for a yes or no based on scheduling so well do we have to even act on it maybe we don't even act on if we don't Grant it to them nothing happens like conference committee at the state out just dies yeah you're you're describing a pocket veto which is legal there no action I would I would move
that we deny the request from Mr Jeff Dory for the time being of spontaneous productions for the date requested and leave it like that that's fine that date sure I'll second thank you there anticipated use and whatever
I'll be the bad guy there's a uh there's a within the within this uh discussion Commissioners I think there's another space if you would like me to um begin looking into it is I I think this craves a policy something that helps the Commissioners make a decision around
what kind of choices they want to make make with respect to um advertising uh use of our assets for you know uh in this case uh profit or other needs um commissioner Collins you mentioned in the past there's been some donations
made from whatever those gains were um I would argue that most Auditors would say that's nice but you need a policy that that directs who gets those funds these a public funds so you'd probably have to Define that in a policy too so something around the lines of a you know a uh a
defined policy that can give the Commissioners an idea of how to handle these in the future I think it might be a good place to start if you'd like me to i' be happy to work on a draft that you guys can I think it's a brilliant idea but I think we should deal with this now and then instruct you to come six months with a
policy which will include mov run by Cil too this came up one other time and I hope I i' like to have some input on that I mean I don't I think we should get input from other people too well that's why I said six mon I maybe have someone from the the clerk Magistrate's Office sure as part of that committee to
meet with John and also have maybe someone from the registry of deeds cuz their building gets used I mean I think I only one person should make the policy for all these buildings even like maybe I don't know a judge or I mean I agree with you I think the
maintenance department has to weigh in on it too I think generally and I've had I did I've had discussions with John mcgan off and on on on the movies and I think is pretty positive about it and and and usually you know a lot of people in his
Department would work on the movies but you know they're paid by the movie company no this is Ser if we're really going to define a policy we're going to make a policy I'd like to have some additional input sure different voices in on it and then to look at okay what buildings get used if at all what's the
rate going it be if at all uh you know what what times you could do it after hours weekends if at all and then finally to examine what charities that could be I'd love to wait on that I'm sure at the right time we have a whole bunch out there that look of help so you
know just got a way to go here that's my Ence but all right okay let me get Treasure of B involved let's hear from Mike well we're going to wait that's why we're going to study it for six months and come back with
it okay on the rental request no Richard U seconded yeah uh not to take it under consideration at this time all in favor I I it is no 16 report of the county director thank you Mr chairman uh just a
footnote um on October 20th this year the Alzheimer Association will be conducting their annual walk um we hosted a jillette stadium um this is the Neponset Valley walk uh the Commissioners are sponsors of that and
uh have contributed through arpa um to offset expenses associated with it next week uh the 16th you will have JC settles from the Alzheimer Association coming in Via Zoom to fill you in on the um expectations of that day and the role

to be proposed to the version that you um folks have been using um the changes will be sent to Legal um labor legal um immediate medely and we'll share a copy of what we're proposing with the Commissioners for their potential
approval of this revised version next week we're looking at kind of streamline things and uh clean up some of the um language and footnotes that have been previously used to make it look a little bit more presentable and useful um I want to uh extend my thanks and
congratulations to my peer Bill Buckley um he and his friends and Walpole pulled off a wonderful event this past Saturday in Walpole a parade celebrating the town's 300 birthday um bill as we all know is a consumate volunteer and put a lot of hours and effort into that bra
