to know we're all on the same page literally okay time out while I get It has been crazy here already this morning okay so we start out with the minutes of March 20th do I have a mo Oh do I have a
motion i'll make a motion that we um approve the minutes of March 20th second that i'm sorry second it was seconded by who i think I did it first okay thank you it's a competition yeah I
know okay is there any discussion any errors any omissions anything i try to keep it straightforward uh yeah so um there's a paragraph um one two three four the fifth paragraph starts with my name George Arnitus
indicated our list of restricted accounts um contain three accounts two dealing with permitting so the two that deal with permitting add up to 48,000 the 35,000 was the dam permit and another 13,000 roughly
12,98.95 was for draw down okay great and one for the project and that's big enough okay I can change that easily anything else and the last part of that the last part of that sentence says um well I'll reach out to the accountant to
talk about um the ability to fund 75% of next year's engineering phase what's that 75% that's not right okay which I don't know that we need a percentage just available to fund the right okay i'll get rid of and I wouldn't call it next year's engineering
phase i'd call it next year well no next year is fiscal 26 oh okay available to fund so to find out the damn permanent accounts would be available why don't I say the engineering phase and leave it at that yeah I think that's fine i think it's
all you have to do great thank you and then the last thing I had was towards the bottom we talked you talked about um selecting a chairperson and a secretary yeah because we never did i'm not sure we need to at this point because I don't think we have meetings we don't but we
talked about it and postponed it okay yeah I'm just raising it because I didn't know because Nate wasn't there when we were going to let him everything remember the comment was made yes i didn't put it in so because Nate had to
leave okay great okay thank you you're welcome anything else okay then so I would like Okay then let's if it's okay with you all I will just change
the motion to read the uh as corrected the you accept the minutes as corrected everybody agree with that yes okay then okay now let's vote on this um so all those in favor of accepting the
minutes as amended for the 20th of March I gro Oh sorry broad eye that's okay i'll go by okay okay interesting eclipse there going on behind you and on your head oh yeah yeah it is kind of funny
looking that does look funny doesn't it it's It's apppropo yeah very at least it's not a halo right yeah we don't need special glasses right okay now the minutes of April 3rd
is there any errors or omissions before I even get to this well I I was questioning on first section uh Ellen McKay at large aren't you the chair but I'm at large i'm appointed at large so that's more
important than than we know that you're the chair yeah it is because we you know it's our source of why we're in the on the committee as far as I'm concerned that's the way I look at it that's why I always No that's fine yeah I was just curious more than anything yeah I know I'm chair but and I think you have
technically I'm not because we never voted this year don't have a chair right good point okay it's a it's anarchy here hey you know might as well be like the rest of the world so uh the third sentence Groves moves uh
moved and overnight is seconded a motion that that you might want two that okay get rid of that that that that okay and then down uh three paragraphs farther down three or four a recent inspection by by a fire inspector inspector right
oh boy that's what happens when you don't It's okay well you have the machine check it and they're they're all words so they don't pay any attention to it yeah no no these are these are all minor things i mean I know but that's fine i appreciate it very much and then
uh the the last paragraph before the meeting schedule Groves moved in uh long scope long cope seconded a motion um that yeah that the purpose for the purpose I was thinking okay that's even minor i don't care just grammatically
but I mean everything else I mean I was fine okay that the purchase wait a minute say that again seconded a motion to purchase and or for the purchase yeah either one for the purpose okay yeah either one just not that okay for fine
excellent anyone else have any no okay then can I have a motion make a motion we approve the the minutes as amended i'll second who seconded it george okay what happens is I end up writing the writing groves and not
seeing who's doing the second okay uh okay we've discussed it um all those in favor I broad eye groves I McKay I okay thank you now gentlemen
don't be surprised well I know Bob I don't think you'll be on the committee anymore but after this year and thank you for your service to both the finance committee and this committee but we will have to start sometime early next year taking a look at that big huge
spreadsheet and you know making some changes like it makes no sense to put the pre previous purchase price in when the prices on equipment have gone so high in the in the years since the the thing was created and we've got to take a look and figure out how we're going to
express all that so we ought to probably start meeting relatively early to get that done before February when we start really being busy so just just wait for and I'm going to work on the assumption Nate that the school committee will
still meet on th on whatever what do you mean thursdays usually yep third Thursday we try okay third Thursday yep that's good now I know that 3 okay and that does anyone else have any
clear conflict on any other day other night well the finance committee meets on every other Tuesday i know i know that's you know you'll see that I avoid because select board and and the finance committee are meeting yeah tuesdays so okay go ahead i just want to ask so the
makeup of this committee has to be two members of the finance committee that's how it is uh I'm not sure sorry it really doesn't say that it's that the the the founding description says finance committee unless and the treasurer but the treasur is the treasure but the treasurer yeah finance
committee the treasur would be would I don't know yeah so this case with the treasurer does not live in Shootsbury so two members of the finance committees okay that's what it is and that's how that happened yeah and two at large and the school committee
yeah okay any other questions comments okay can I have a a motion to adjurnn so moved second
okay all those uh in favor i I I Okay i Okay and it's now 9:13 and George can you do a favor for me it has nothing to do with this committee give me a call on the on the landline sure okay thanks okay good enough have a
great day and a great weekend even though it's going to kind of be black and and nice meeting Matilda say bye bye bye bye thanks
