Yes. >> September 22nd uh FINCOM meeting call to order. Um one is here. Sandy is not. And I'm not sure about Steve.
>> Steve is not participants. >> Steve text me earlier. He said he may be a little late, but he didn't have a link to get on. So I'm not sure. He's going to use the link of the top. He don't have a participant link. So, uh, if you
see somebody pop in there, make sure that panelist. Nope, that's me. >> And do we need the >> Yeah, why don't we have screen? >> So, usually we'll have the TM share stuff on the screen as we're going along. We get a lot more detail sometimes than what we have in front of
us. >> Hand off participants. >> If anyone knows how to operate that, I'm all ears. We'll skip that for now. Um, I guess before we start and before I forget,
um, there's a planning board meeting >> 7:15 p.m. >> Who wants to go >> tomorrow or Thursday? >> Thursday. >> Thursday. >> What? >> Uh, reconification.
Yeah, we are formerly known as recification. >> Yes. Release the screen. Uh, >> did we ever have a representative from the plan? >> It was It was me uh last year and I know
you went a couple of times too, Zach. So, >> yeah, I just went on my on my own. >> Yeah, we'll go. >> Okay. Thank you. and Wednesday 6:00 >> school committee meeting
>> high school school committee meeting to discuss amongst other things the middle school roof anybody want to go to that >> is that a 6:00 start >> yes but um superintendent thought the
middle school topic would be about 6:30 authority. >> So, what is the idea behind someone attending to report back to this group or to >> Well, I'm already going to be there. My son's receiving an award, so
>> All right. Thank you. Um, Mark, what do we have tonight? So tonight is a famous last words quick and easy meeting
with the line group for town meeting. So we put one, two, five items on that we have all the data for and we have the department heads here. We have uh our
assessors and we have our accountant on Zoom and ready to go. So So >> okay. Do we want to start with article one prior year bills?
>> Sure. So we previously discussed this briefly. Normally this is substantially lower. This year we're looking at $22,627.31. That consists of three items. One is $15,383 for
neighborhood imagery for assessors. That was a flyover that was performed in the last fiscal year, but we didn't receive the bill until I believe it was August 19th. So, we couldn't pay that. In last fiscal year, we had sufficient funds. It
just we didn't receive the bill on time. So, that's what makes this year's request higher than years past. The other items are $7,142 for Verizon phone service and $11 for
Republic Waste. Um, so that's that's it in a nutshell. If there's any questions, I I happy to dig into any one of those items. Again, the total is 22,627.31. Does anybody have any questions on
any of these three prior year bills? Mr. Chair, may we uh approve the 2062731 >> coming from cash? Do I have a second?
>> Second. >> Thank you, Zach. Um no further questions. Go for the vote. Brandon, >> yes. >> Paul, >> yes. >> Gavin, >> yes. >> Zack, >> yes. >> Paul,
>> yes. Crazy. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Kevin, >> yes. >> And I too am a yes. And Steve is still not connected. Okay. Next.
Okay. Next up is Gazsby mandated actuarial reporting of postmployment benefits. This is our annual OPED check-in. This is required uh by the state. They're keeping a close eye on
communities and our progress toward OPED certification are when we satisfied that obligation. We're quite a ways away um today, but Odyssey and Advisors is the company that
would perform the actuarial work. Last year it was $10,600. Um, so this here to be safe, we are requesting $11,000. >> That's article 14, is it Mark? >> Yes, sir. Article 14.
>> Anybody have any questions on Mr. Chair? Just to be clear, this would also come from free cash. >> Yes. Mr. Chair, >> uh question or I guess for the uh town
manager, is this something that is required? I know it's recommended. Um, and the reason why I'm bringing it up is, uh, last meeting we started talking about all the, uh, uh,
how low free cash was going to get. And I know it's only 11,000, but I didn't know potentially if it's worth just waiting towards the end to see how we look. It's it's a valid question, and I I
really appreciate the the idea of cutting costs wherever we can. Um I'm informed that Gatsby statements 74 and 75 uh do require these for local governments just and the rationale is because if if we
don't we don't know how much fixed liabilities we have and that's necessary to show on the annual report when we're to try to show a complete picture and this is a significant amount. I wouldn't want to guess how much, but at least the tens of millions
and and it does change from year to year. If our interest rate increases, it can cut down the number of years substantially and and vice versa. So, it's definitely worth getting a handle on both our pension and our oped.
Okay. >> And how often do we do this? Angel I believe here. >> Yes, Mr. Chairman. >> Mr. Chairman >> James.
>> Yes. Uh the I'm sure report is the full one is done every two years. They do an update every year but uh we get charged every two years. So this is going to be the 11,000 will cover us for two years. >> Okay. Thank you,
Zach. and and and it is uh federally mandated uh not just state that this is this applies to every city and town in the US. >> Thank you, James. Speaking for myself, I don't recall ever funding this. Do you Does anybody in this board ever remember
funding this? >> I'm not sure where the money was coming from previously. Maybe James, you know, because I don't remember ever having a vote on this. Uh, Mr. Chair. >> Yeah. >> Uh, yes. We've been funding this every
two years. There was one time that uh we were given 25,000. So, we didn't have to fund it for about four years. >> Um, but um we've been funding this for at least 10 or 15 years.
I yeah I seem to recall the 25,000 >> yeah the 25,000 covered us for two full cycles would have been four years >> okay >> so maybe that's why sach doesn't remember because maybe we haven't had to
fund it um in a while >> you could just say I'm old uh James >> thank you James welcome >> any other questions Madam chair, question for James. Does it require that we go to a third party
actuarial service or is it just something from a risk perspective that we're outsourcing it? Um either because of choice or because we just don't have the time or or actuarial expertise.
>> It it is required. Um we don't have a choice pretty much to to do it internally. We don't have the resources to do it. But even if we did, for a town our size, I believe any town that has a budget over $10 million has to have a
outside CPA for a perform the actuarial report. >> Okay. >> And we are waiting for the 10 million. >> That makes sense. Thanks. >> Anybody else? [Applause] Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion.
Okay. um like to make a motion to take $11,000 out of free cash to fund um OPED >> article 14 >> I'm sorry article 14
I have a motion do I have a second Paul and any further discussion >> is it 11,000 even because I don't see it written here any >> yes 11,000 even okay hopefully it'll be less But we don't want to come back for more.
>> Yes. >> Okay, I'll go for the vote. Uh, Brandon, >> yes. >> Paul, >> yes. >> Gavin, >> yes. >> Zack, >> yes. >> Paula, >> yes. >> Tracy, >> yes. >> Bonnie, >> yes. >> Kevin, >> yes. Mr. Chair and I, Tuma, yes. Thank
you. >> Thank you. The next item is WPAT administrative costs. This is a request coming not from free cash but from the I call it the septic trust account. That's where we have a revolving account
set up to assist folks that don't have the funds to repair their failed septic system. Um, so we have sufficient funds in that account and every year we transfer a certain amount to compensate for the
administrative side of salaries and maintaining that very beneficial program. Um, so there's again no budget funds. The request is $10,000 to help assist with board of health
administrative costs. And again, this is to assist people who can't necessarily fund their septic or pay, >> right? So, when it's the title five septic system fails, the they're
required to fix it within a certain amount of time >> and not everyone has, you know, 30 to $40,000 cash on hand. And this is really beneficial to to make sure the environment is clean and to comply with
board of health regulations. They've allowed us to start this revolving account and we we charge a low interest. I believe it's about 3%. So there is money in there that will sustain the account
moving forward indefinitely. I believe the balance is around a million dollars today. >> Okay. M Mr. Chair, >> that was going to be my next question. Paul, >> the 10,000 comes out of the grant though it's not funded out of tax money. Correct.
>> Right. No budget funds. Any other questions? Mr. the chair and I'd like to make a motion to um excuse me to take $10,000
for uh board of health administrative costs from the grant for article 17. >> Second. >> Any further questions? >> Mr. Jim, >> yes. >> The money is being transferred to where?
Free cash >> from the grant >> to the the conservation department salary line. >> Okay. From the grant. >> James, >> the money is being transferred into an
article within the board of health department. >> This is going to be a standalone article within their department. So it's a a special line item dedicated for this purpose. >> Correct.
>> Okay. Any further questions? >> No. Okay. Go for vote. Brandon, >> yes. >> Paul, >> yes. >> Gavin, >> yes. >> Zack, >> yes. >> Paul, >> yes. Tracy, >> yes.
>> Bonnie, >> yes. >> Kevin, >> yes. >> And I truly Yes. So that's unanimous. >> And I'd like to invite our board of assessors director to to speak to our final two items. Um first is the
doubling statute and the second is the senior age reduction from 70 to 65. So we're not asking for any fund transfers. I'm just asking to place this on the the warrant.
>> Correct. And also this is for FY27, not for FY26. So So another year away. >> So will this require a vote then? >> The town meeting passes it. >> Um it will have to be voted on a town meeting. Yes. Um and what is anybody
familiar with this at all? Okay. So, what this is right now is we have um the exemptions were uh the senior exemptions and we have veterans exemptions. Um and so what we'd like to do um so there's a a new act out there called the Heroes Act to the veterans and that would
double theirs. Um but then you know in our office we see all the seniors coming in and how much they would need it also. And there's this article the 59 5C and a half that would double everybody including the veterans. So um
the board of assessors wanted to go with this option where it would be fair to everybody. So what would happen is right now for FY25 the total exemptions for the seniors, the blind and all the veterans was
120,763. That's for all of them. And if we double that and so what happens is the seniors right now get a th00and um and then on that's on the 41D and the 17E they get $251
37A that's the blind we only have about five people in that that's 500 and the veterans right now they get 400 if they're under 100% disabled between 10 and 90% and if they're 100% they get $1,000.
So what we'd like to do is double all of these. So instead of a,000 for the veterans it would be 2,000 400 to 800. Again the seniors 1,000 2,000 the blind would be 1,000 and then we double the 17e to 500 and change.
So right now we get reimbursed only on the veterans and a little bit for the blind. So, if we did have this doubled, we would not be reimbursed for the additional amount that we want doubled. Does that make sense? Okay.
So, we're just asking um if we go to town meeting and have all this doubled. So the net cost to us isn't the $400,000, it's $200,000. >> So right now, yeah, right now it the the total cost for all the exemptions cuz
then what I did show you what the overlay would look like. Then we have the full exemptions. Those are additional ones. We have the deferral which people can defer their taxes until they sell their home or unfortunately pass away 365 or older for that one.
Then the 22D um those are um veterans that have passed away from their um their disability. So those the spouses get full exemption. They get their full
taxes paid. We get reimbursed for that. We also get reimbursed for um the parapolgics. We have two of those. We get reimbursed. So normally our total would be 2.85 85 in change. So if we doubled it with the 120
that would bring it up to um the 406 if that makes sense. >> So the the net increase is 120 then. >> Yes. All the budget. >> Right. Al together. >> And the um the wording does say effective
on or after July of the 26. So I don't know if there's a problem that you got to start at 27. Correct. That should cover >> it would be for 27. >> Mr. Chair Brandon, >> I thought um when I had listened to uh
prior meetings, I thought the whole point of getting this on to town meeting to get it on for 26. >> Uh no, it's for 27. So that one of the board members wanted to get it on right away. That's why they the board voted
for it so early. Um they had planned on doing it in the spring. But this way they felt if we did it this way then you would know about it ahead of time. So maybe we could start planning a year in advance to figure out where we could get the money from because it it has to come out of the overlay and we don't have
that money in there right now. We don't have it in there for FY26. So we'd have to find it coming from someplace else. So they thought that maybe if we did it for FY27 now then that would give everybody a chance to figure out where we get that money from. That was their
>> Mr. Chair. Um could you explain one more time what the laws that are on here that refer to so each of the clauses just cuz it's not clear and I think at town meeting it will be clear. So I can suggest u I don't know that you'll use this exact
one but that it's clear that way we don't have 17 million questions. >> Yeah. So we won't make we won't have it like this at um so basically it's just what do you want me to explain the clauses you mean? >> Yeah. So which one is 17E 37A those on the >> Yeah. So 30 17E um those people um
they're not eligible for the 40. So all our senior exemptions are based on assets and income. So for the 17E, they're they don't have a limitation on assets, but they do on income. So they wouldn't be eligible for the 41D because
they might make too much money, but they could go with the 17E and they'll get $251. I think it's 258 this year. Um that's just a small amount. The the blind, there was legally blind, they have to have a certificate from the state um in order to be
enrolled in that. And we have only five people. 37s. >> And then the 41D is for seniors 70 or older. Again, income and asset based. >> So, I believe off the top of my head, I
think, um, sorry, on vacation, my mind's not working. Um, I think it's about 48,000 for a single person. I I can double check on that. I can get back to you on that. I don't know off the top of my head, but their their income is pretty
low. Um, that's 41D, and they get $1,000. The clause 22, that's a veterans clause. Those are for disabled veterans that um have a disability between 10 and 90%. Again, we got a letter from the state on
those. Um, it tells us what their disability is and what they're eligible for. >> Same thing with the 22E. Um, we have to have that letter. The 22, the 22 only has to give us that. They only have to give us that letter once so we know that they're in it. The 22E has to give us
the letter every year because of penalty. If you're 100% disabled, that can change and you can go down to like 90 or 80%. So they have to give us the letter every year so we know what their disability is and they get $1,000. >> Okay. And then what's the difference
between those two clauses and 22D? The 22D is those were these are um surviving spouses who were in the 22E and the person passed away. So now they're surviving spouse gets a full um
the full disability. They'll get the full amount >> of their taxes. So they don't have to pay any taxes at all. >> Okay. But we get reimbured by that from the state. They'll reimburse us on that. Okay. >> Great. Thank you. >> You're welcome, >> Mr. Jim. >> Zach.
>> So, the financial impact if this was doubled, you're saying it's $120,000, >> right? >> But that does not include changing this from 70 to 65. >> Correct. That >> That's a higher number than that. >> That it could be. We So, that's the thing. We don't know how many people
would be eligible um if if you change it from 70 to 65. I know we do have some as people come in, but unfortunately they're just not old enough, so they can't get it. Um, we don't know how many people are out there that would be eligible. I'm guessing
maybe 10, we're thinking. Um, you know, a lot of people still working at that age, so there might not be that many out there, but honestly, we have no idea how many people are out there. >> Mr. share. Um, and if you lowered the
eligibility to 65, it would still be um income and asset based. >> Yeah. Everything would still be the same. Exact same thing. We just lower the H. >> So for the um article 15, we'd specifically be voting to recommend um the doubled exemptions
and then the article 16 would be to recommend the lowering age to >> correct. Yes. >> Mr. Chair Bob, if the program is not going to take effect until 27,
>> why are we funding it this year? >> You wouldn't be funding it this year. >> It's a motion to recommend it. >> Yeah, it's just to recommend you don't need to mo uh fund it this year. So, it would take effect July of next year. >> July 27th. >> And technically, it's not even until
January of 27th. They felt that they want to get into >> and any financial impact would be in the spring budget budget in the overlay. >> Oh yeah, it would be budgeted in the
overlay for FY27 there. >> But FY27, sorry, Mr. FY27 starts July 1st, 2026. >> Correct. Right. Yes. >> Just making sure that's clear. >> This would be the springtime meeting when you found it. >> Yes. This would be in the spring budget
>> in a year. >> Yeah. So it would have to Yeah. So in the spring it would have to be budgeted for FY27. >> Yeah. Right. Yeah. >> In January 27. >> So technically what happens with these exemptions um if they get them in on
time, we mail them all out. If they get them in by the time we get our bills out, then they see that credit on their tax bill. So they'll see like on their third quarter bill, say they get the $1,000, they'll see a credit of 500 on the third quarter bill and 500 on their fourth quarter bill, which is the
January and the February bill and the May bill >> and see it on there, right? And if it doubled, then they would see the,000 and thousand. And if they don't get it in on time, it's fine. It's due April 1st. We would just put it on their account afterwards. Um, and if they ended up
paying their tax, then they'll just get a check back, I guess. But most people get it in on time. >> Mr. Chairman, >> Zach, >> two two concerns with this. If this is so far out, why are we dealing with it now when there's what, four town
meetings between this the time this takes effect? >> Next spring. >> No, no, spring. >> It would be the springtime meeting. Okay. >> For FY2, >> right? So we have to budget for it now in the coming budget
>> right in the spring. In the spring budget, not spring 26 >> coming into the next town meeting the budget and then this saves us from doing it if it passes and if it fails budget. >> So >> I I don't have a problem with this. I the problem I have is
where's this money coming from? What what are you cutting? Obviously, if you take 120 plus whatever the other exemption is, where's the money coming from? >> So, uh it's like spend the money and then we'll deal with it later, which you know, um >> if I remember the bill rotundi rant of
financial planning that I've heard for long before I was on this committee. >> Can you believe what? >> I think you co-rote that. >> This is uh this is like saying, "Let's go buy a new car. We'll figure out how we're going to pay for it later. How about we figure out how to pay for it first and then we'll have a discussion
on this. >> It just seems backwards. >> So that's the ele in the room is that this will reduce the tax levy and the amount able to be budgeted by whatever we decide goes in the overlay which best
estimate at this point would be $120 to $140,000 less to budget with. Um, I know we don't have new growth solid numbers yet. Um, but you're right. It would have to come from the available funds in the budget,
which you have to weigh that against the benefit to the poor and needy seniors and veterans. I I get all that, but and I get all I'm not saying we shouldn't do this. I'm saying that should be discussed ahead of time. We're going to do this and to do this, everybody knows
that's been on this committee, i.e. was splitting. He has a fighting tooth and nail every position in the spring. And you'll be privileged to to have that, Mark. >> Looking forward to it. >> Yeah. As we sit here today, the spring's going to be tough. I mean,
you have he just go without a contract today and Mr. G has a privilege negotiating every single union contract this year in town. And I'm sure nobody's going to want to pay that. So,
I just say, you know, I like this, but maybe we should put the cat before the horse. I I don't know. Just my opinion. We have Miss Mr. Ray, are you are you there still? >> Yeah, I'm right here. >> There you go. >> Yeah, I'd like to say a couple things,
too. So, >> sorry. So, when we discussed this at the board of assessors meeting, there was no The whole point in getting this on fall time meeting was so we could get it for FY26, not 27. Hence why I just ran down here
cuz the Zoom's not working and I wasn't able to speak over the Zoom. So, I'm not sure why Miss Ellis is saying now FY27. I did catch a little glimpse of it saying we don't have the money in the budget for FY26, which was not discussed at our board of assessment meeting. We
said we were going to do fall town meeting and let the voters decide on whether or not we could uh get this through for FY26. I'm not sure why Mrs. Ellis is now pushing FY27. That was not her decision. So, we as a board voted to get this on
for 26 and and fall town meeting. The other option was to go to FY uh to go to Springtown meeting, which we would have lost a year. We weren't looking to lose a year for the seniors for this double exemption for the seniors and the and the veterans. So, you know, I honestly
feel I don't know why Mrs. Ellis just took that position that we're going to go to FY27 on her own without discussing this with the board. So, and I got a big problem with that. So, let the voters vote. Uh, we've already passed this through the board of assessors. We've passed this through the select board,
and it's just up to you guys to put this up to the town meeting for the for the voters to decide. So, so I can address that. So, the the fiscal 26 budget was voted on back in April or May. So, that that number was set in stone already. So
unless we're entertaining a motion to to to take money from free cash or another source, then it's not funded. >> Well, we've already discussed that with the select board. We and we discussed that uh amongst the select board and the board of assessors and you know you guys
found $6.5 million in free cash and you know after the last failed override and you know the the discussion I had with the select board and all the me almost all of the members you know except for one that was against this but you know that we would find the money and you
know um nice to meet you Mark but you know so you know but you know we discussed this with the select board and we would find the money we're looking at like $120,000 to help the disabled veterans and a very very small percentage of the the
disabled seniors and you know folks that follow the criteria, you know, $120,000. We just spent $50,000 we just wasted on a set of roof plants for the fire department, okay, that I could have done for nothing for you guys. We waste money on, you know, the school, you know, you guys looking at $10 million for this
school roof that's worth half of that. You know, it's it's the waste in this town is absurd. uh you know, permit fees went up, you know, 5x in the last three years. So, you know, there's no problem, you know, bleeding the taxpayers for permit fees and all these other issues, but we can't support the veterans and
the seniors for $120,000 when we got millions of dollars in free cash. Come on, fellas. You know, let's get this on the town meeting. Let's let the voters decide. And it's not up to Mrs. Ellis to push it off of you. That was not part of the plan. So,
>> Mr. Sure. Question for Mr. Ryan. What would you cut? $120,000 is the new position at the uh senior center. It's probably a couple of teachers. >> Well, first off, if I would have cut the $50,000 you guys just paid for a set of roof plans. I'm not sure what you're
paying for the roof plans for the middle school for that $10 million blow to budget that everybody's look, you know, looking for, but I could tell you what they need on that roof and I could write it down on a on a napkin right now for you and save you, you know, at least 50 grand for that. a 100page document I need for a roof consultant. I mean, you
know, you want me to go through the budget, I'll find you that $120,000 in 15 minutes. You know, it's but that's not my job. I'm the assessor. You guys are the finance committee. So, it's up to you guys to find the money. And you get $6 million in free cash. You know, it's the money's there. You want me to find
it? Give me the books. I'll find it. I run a company with 20 plus guys, you know, money in 15 minutes. >> I definitely appreciate your enthusiasm. It's just the overlay account needs to be approved by the Department of Revenue as part of the budget. So, I'm I'm not even sure we could open that if we
wanted to. >> I got a problem with that and the taxpayer is going to have a problem with this and it's not a good start, Mr. B to, you know, to take that position. So, >> well, for for us to move this, we'd have to know where the money is coming from.
And so, there's no indication where the money's coming from. So if you like the first problem, >> you know, maybe we kick this back a week, you know, until when's your next meeting? You know, we kick this back a week and then I have a chance to sit
down with some of you folks and some of the select board and we figure out where the money's coming from. Cuz this is not the story I got. I was told and my board was told this was FY26. I didn't know it was FY27 until 15 minutes ago when I heard it on Zoom.
And that's why I run down here. This was not the plan. This was not what was discussed. Mrs. Ellis should not have taken that position without notifying our Mrs. Ellis. I'm talking excuse me. She should not have taken that position without notifying the board. She works
for the board. She answers to the board. She doesn't make up these things on her own. Mr. Chair Zack, >> may I suggest we table this back to the select board for their recommendations?
Because I think at this point with all this, it's over our right. It's over our authority of any kind. We we can vote on this as it's written and and as it's being presented. I I would say that would be very
unconventional that it was to go forward in in the way it's being proposed to be amended. I mean have the lawyers take a look at it and to see if it's even legally possible right for for tonight though I I don't
see it going anywhere. >> I'd like to see it, you know, at least hold off until we can discuss this with the select board. And then I can get some answers from my other two board members. Maybe ask Denise why she did this. You know, without asking,
you know, I would like this table for a week or two. >> I don't want to miss the town hall fall meeting. I mean, I don't want to stick it to the seniors and the veterans of the year because we can't find 120 grand. Mr. Chairman, >> Zack, >> motion to table. Meaning to
>> second. Have a motion and a second. any uh we're tableabling article >> 15 and 16 >> 15 and 16. >> Mhm. >> And can we add we can send it back to
the select board for their recommendations on whatever year they want to do this in and the funding source. >> Second again. >> Second. Have a motion and a second for both
articles 15 and 16 to table. Any further discussion? >> Yes. The the state guidance says the effect the the the department of revenue division of local services says this
exemption chapter 59 section 5C a half will apply in the fiscal year that begins the July 1st after acceptance and establishment of the exemption. So we don't have a choice. The state says it starts July 1st after we accept
it. So that would be fiscal year as Miss Ellis said. >> Yes, that's the state law >> under your clarification from DLS. >> Cool. >> This is this wasn't what was discussed. That was what if that was the case then,
you know, Mrs. Ellis would have brought this up to us at the last meeting. >> It was brought up. >> It wasn't because I'm not going to get into myself. Okay. >> I wasn't talking to you. Um, >> I'm talking to the board. So, listen, this wasn't discussed. It was under the impression that if we got it on a fall
town meeting that we could apply it to 2026. Fiscal year 2026 starts on what? July of 26. Correct. >> Now, the 27th. Okay. So, this was not what was discussed at our meeting because we were told that in if we go to Springtown meeting, we would lose a
year. I can confirm that with, you know, Rick and Mike on on the board of assesses. That was that's what we were told. We would lose a year if we went to Springtown meeting. That's why we were rushing to get into the floor. >> Well, at at this point, we have a we have a motion. We have a second.
We don't have a funding source. We can't move it forward as it's currently written. So, I'd say we go for the vote >> random >> uh voting on tableling it until we get
feedback from Mr. Blackboard. >> Yes. Yes, >> Paul. >> Yes, >> Gavin. >> Yes, >> Zack. >> Yes, >> Paul. >> Yes, >> Tracy. >> Yes, >> yes, >> Kevin. >> Yes,

>> Awesome. I'll be in touch. Nice. >> Thank you, >> Mr. Chair. Just for scheduling purposes, cuz I just feel like town meeting is coming up very quick and the warrant will be need to be posted what, 10 days prior to town meeting. Um, so we have
very few meetings. So, I just want to make sure the select board is going to be meeting about these articles that we're then going to need to discuss in a timely manner before the warrant needs to be posted. We've had issues with this in the past. So
>> there is a generic uh agenda item on Thursday's agenda for town meeting articles. So I can highlight this one even though it's not specifically broken out. It's still reasonably related to
the item posted. So I I can for sure let the chair know that we prefer for them to discuss this Thursday. >> Thank you. Mr. Chair, >> I would also say it's important for us to make sure that everyone that comes in this room treats everybody else in this
room with respect. >> Thank you. I appreciate that. >> Thank you for coming on your vacation. >> Thank you. Thanks. >> Anything else? >> Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion to
end the meeting. motion and a second. Any further discussion? >> Randy, >> yes. >> Paul, >> yes. >> Gavin, >> yes. >> Yes. >> Paula, >> yes. >> Tracy, >> yes.
