you're okay um the finance committee um the other night want recommended to remove several articles from the warrant that aren needed uh Charle Dam inspection article 12 Norton Reservoir Dam inspection article 133 uh modification repairs and improvements to the chle on Dam and embankments article 14 modifications repairs and improvements to Norton Reservoir Dam and embankments ch um Article 15 uh the three-year cyclical reinspection program article 16 and the wpat program article 203 so if you're support that can we do that all one yeah can I ask a question before we do that what was the um why are we what's the reason for all the dam removing those from the um because they found that they had money um from a previous um article that Jennifer had done that the work was never done so that money is still available for them to do the work okay and um the wpat program the health agent had money um so he doesn't need it okay and the same with a threeyear cyclical reinspection

okay we have a motion in a second any further discussion all in favor any oppose all right do we have any other topics not anticipated within the last 48 hours I just had one question to meeting articles And discussing it tonight but I that 20 was on the Sleek he discussed article 20 which was the revisions to the town Personnel bylaws and so in the actual warrant itself it just says available upon whatever it says like on file with temp I think uh article 20 is going to at the next finom meeting recommend that that be pulled off the line too oh okay I was just going to ask like when you have articles like that where if I'm assuming it wasn't attached it it's bulky right if you could at least have some available um the day of town meeting and also like online so people can view them beforehand that'd be great yeah that was just a placeholder and nothing's being done to the bylaw okay so have that okay good deal all right thanks Denise yeah all right Steve there's no
