I will call the May 19th meeting of the conservation commission to the order at 700 pm. The meeting will be recorded. And if anybody else is recording, we need they need
approval. Meeting is a hybrid. It's in person and on Zoom. We'll open the meeting by offering public comments to anybody in the audience. Anybody
online? Nobody. We need to do a roll call. And now we'll do a roll call vote starting with Andy Ruden, Chris Pratt, Dennis Clark, Nor Chamer, Jerry Patriot, Kevin Sull,
and we have a full attendance tonight. So you want to do the mail list? Yeah. Okay, just for the question, we have two items in the mail. The first one's from American Legion Post 338. You hope to invite us to
participate in the Memorial Day parade on the 26th of May. Parade will gather between 9:15 and 9:30 in the parking lot across from the Summerhouse at 5:35 College Highway. Parade will proceed at
1,00 at 1,000 must be feet down to the town green at the war memorial. Following the service, the parade will proceed to the vehicles in vehicles for the old cemeter old cemetery to lay a wreath, then continue to the new cemetery for a short
service. We would be honored if you and your group will join us in remembering our con country's military servicemen and women who have lost their lives serving our country. At the conclusion of the service, there'll be a brief gathering at the American Legion for
participants and their families and they would like us to respond. Anybody interested in marching in the parade this weekend? I'm gonna be I'm booked on working on h this week and working on h this week. What day?
26th. 26. Monday. Monday. Okay. All right. I'll be huh. I'll be away. You'll be away. Yeah. So, we have at least been coming with me. Not to carry the
I'll be a maybe. Okay. Okay, second item in the mail is a letter from Janice Priy. Hope you all doing well. You probably know that about this year's
attempt at passing a bylaw copy attached on the town meeting warrant modeled by bylaws of of surrounding towns. Mike took a look at the surrounding towns and developed this language. It would require hunters to request written permission from the landowner to hunt on
their land. That way they could know who each other are. I have found on the farmland I'm responsible for that with no rules, the people who don't want to follow hunting regulations come to Southwood to open access to all of our
land. I've also talked with our land owners experiencing trouble events as well as cleaning up hunter trash. As you know, our farmland is precious and le is a precious resource in this era. We must be protected. I hope the conservation
commission members attending the meeting today to support passage of this bylaw, giving us reasonable control of our land. My family began farming in Pine Road on Ply Road and South in 1920. The previous farm in Granville sits under
the Springfield Reservoir. No compensation. No disrespect to land owners goes back a long way. Thank you for your consideration. I hope all as well. And then the second page is there. And then the bylaw is on.
Do I need to read that? That's on the warrant tomorrow night at the meeting. It's a town meeting. We should we take a motion on this now. Are we approving it or what?
You just listen to the mail. That's all. You just listen. It's basically public, is it not? Yes. All right. So, now we'll open up first public hearing. Do we have the call of that meeting? [Music]
All that humming. She better be over there making cookies or something. Something up. The Conservation Commission will hold a public hearing under the Massachusetts Wetland Act, GLC 31, Chapter 40, and a self
conversation commission regulations and bylaw chapter 182 and chapter 450 for request for determination. The project located at 105 Point Grove Road, Southwick, Mass, Math 123, Parcel 071.
The applicant proposes an addition to an existing house within the 100 foot buffer of Common Lakes. The meeting would be held on May 19th at 2025 via Harbor meeting starting at 700 p.m. and now officially open the
hearing. Who's here to speak for the petitioner? Would you like to come forward, please? No. State your name and address for the record. U my name is William Gould. Uh 105 Point Grove Road is the local residence and uh we live uh in Medway,
Mass. Okay. Think you have in your folder? Yes. Everyone has a copy of I Can you give a brief description of what the addition is and what we're So basically right now the house
has an upstairs and a downstairs with no interior staircase. So in the summertime not too bad unless it's pouring rain. In the winter time the deck stairs get very icy. So we're looking to put a an
addition on in place of where the deck is currently. to have an interior staircase to go from upstairs to downstairs. And the area that we're talking about is all sand right now. There's no vegetation or anything. And we're 15
feet above the level of the lake. So, there's a little hill, you know, from the lake to the to the house. Um, and we'd be where the existing sun room that we call it, uh, is closer to the lake than
the even the addition is going to be. I can't figure out how to make that direct mode. I need something. Be a rotate. There is a rotate, but taking place up on the top of the hill upgrade.
It's pretty flat up there before you get to the hill itself. So, it's it's flat at the bottom and then there's the hill and then there's a flat with a sideyard that works. And then there's Thank you. there's another hill up towards um uh I
guess it's bar or whatever. I don't know what it's called. So, the location I was just learning about between the where where your addition is going to go. It's pretty much flat. Yeah right now. Yeah. Where the addition's going to go.
What's the distance between the uh lake shore and the tilt area? Uh it's about 40 ft. Right. And that would be uh the limit of the work area. The silt barrier.
Correct. Yeah. The silt barrier is going to uh prevent anything from going downhill. Right. It's going to be the limit of any work. Correct. Yep. Nothing is being touched down near the lake. I have a photo from the dock in dock
inspection back from 22 that if you share I can submit it. I think it was success. Okay. B Anderson called me tonight for as a character reference for you. So I don't know if that puts any good or bad.
But looks pretty cut and dry though. I have to look Yeah, I don't have any questions. Yeah, I have a I have a picture from the lake as well if you want to bring it up. No trees coming down or share. No trees near the lake. There is a there's a a
black cherry tree that is towards the road and is leaning a little bit towards the house, but it's outside the 100 foot buffer. Excellent. The blue button down the center. Just hit share. It's definitely outside
the flood plane if it's elevation. Oh yeah. So yeah, if our house fl Yeah, this is from 22 when I we did the dock inventory. Yeah. So So basically the addition is going to be over behind
this corner in there. See, that's where the deck is currently. I see. Yeah. And that's the 25 stairs that we we now I know it's either. Yeah. Bo and Louis be or whatever it is this year would be right.
What? What did uh uh blackboard? Yeah. Okay. Any other questions? Stop sharing. So, this is outside the 50 but inside the 100. Is that because you don't have the lines on here for the 50 or the 100? Yeah. There wasn't a good
map that had the on the silt fence at the 40 foot line. So the silt fence will be right at the top of the hill just probably 2 feet down. So that because between the front of the sun room there's about a sixft section. We're
going to have to take out the shrubs so that they can hug the house to go by it so that they don't disrupt the hill. Yeah. And then we'll put the sharps back when we're done or what motion. Not yet. We're going to take a
measurement. Be sure God knows. I think it says approximate know the distance from the house to the lake. [Applause] You have a lot of spludge washing up into the bay there.
I have a pool skimmer that I pull leaves and stuff off. It's things kind of wash into that hole because the wind blows everything. The target areas pretty duds. Oh yeah. Yeah. Sign me up. Some of the neighbors had talked about that
previously. Around 76 ft from the shore. Okay. And then the silt fund cement work will be right around here. That's around 58. So 40. And you
anticipate what construction period when do you start? When do you think you'll be done? So uh hope to start mid August and be done by Christmas time. Yeah. There you go. Let's go upstairs. Yeah. Or down,
please. So, they're going to do the addition. They're going to do all new windows and siding and all that kind of good stuff. Any other questions? No. I would like to make a motion, Dennis. I'd make a motion to find it
negative with the condition that this erosion control serve as the limit of work area and that the erosion control is in place before any work starts. I'll second that. Any further discussion in school voting? Andy I
Chris I Dennis I norm. [Music] Unanimous vote. Well, thank you. Let us know when the Christmas party is. Thank you very much. Did you sign in by the way? I didn't. If you would on the way
out, I will do that. Okay, we'll move on to new business. First item is request a partial certificate of compliance lot 14 Silvergrass Lane Greens of South East
292-0369. Yep. You looking for me to comment at this point? My name's Jason Fur. I'm Green of Southwick, 104 Feeding Hills Road. Sure. [Music]
Did you hear me or no? Oh, hear you. We appreciate you being on. No wor. So these are um this is lot 14 at the Greens East. Um this particular lot is outside of jurisdiction.
Um I did a site visit last week in the presence of Arloc uh or a member of Arloc Associates and uh the only concern that I had with this was the lack of uh tracking pad and the soil getting into
um right in this area. We talked about this in December of 2023 and it doesn't really look like anything's been done as far as putting in a trackpad or maybe the trackpad hasn't been maintained. But
that was the only thing that I saw that comment on the track. Greg Hamlin uh 143 South Longard Road. I'm the builder over there. Um, that track pad is over the sidewalk, so we can't use stone, so it's actually
hard pack on there. There was actually a track pad there and on the other side up there, and with all the rain and everything, that's what washed out. It has since been cleaned up. My father spent three hours cleaning the whole street. Um, at this particular time,
there are residents living there and they are doing work on their properties. So, another neighbor had a landscape company using that entrance and tracking everything in and out. So, once we after
the rain, like I said, my father has cleaned that whole street up um since you've been out there that catch basin functioning at this time. The I don't think I don't think so. The It's I think it's just like when
it was when we had the meeting out there before. So it's still has Morafi. I think it has Morphe in it and all that. That's Morafi. Yeah, we to speak on that behalf. I I do know the intent this year is to position us be able to hand off the road. So there will be some
modification and we will work with and DPW uh to basically shore up whatever needs to be done over there to position us for handoff in next May. So the the intent is to hand the road off. So I I believe that there will be some modification that will be required to that catch basin. Um, and I just need to
figure out what that'll be and what the depth of that will be. Um, but I'm going to work with DPW to figure out what we need to do to make this um, obviously compliant with whatever we need to do to hand it off. What's Rafy stops the silt from going
through but lets the water it filter paper filter goes under. So the same idea as a sil that stay on or does that come off eventually? Comes off. Yeah. So that still right now doesn't go into the clog
up the system. I Well, I didn't see anything right under the gray. I just saw the water down under. So yeah, they usually stick down over the edges, right? Yeah. Wasn't there I would ask Sabrina's opinion on this.
Leave it up to her. What do you think? It's out of jurisdiction. Well, not Well, if it's going into the catch base and it's in jurisdiction, it is within jurisdiction. Um, do you want to leave it so
that you can issue a certificate of compliance once you're happy with the situation out there? Yes. They said they've cleaned it up already. Should we have them put Morappi in that for now since there are other people using the property as well? And
they're Yeah, I think so because there's also another uh they're building the lot right next door and the same thing. Um they need to go over the the sidewalk. Yeah, the sidewalks are in. So that stops the the wrong track adding out.
Yeah. Might take some headaches down the road. So, just kind of trying to keep up with it. All right. Yep. We wouldn't necessarily have to have another meeting. If you say it's okay, we'll just come sign it at whenever you say it's ready. Okay.
Um, just a follow through. Make a motion. Do you want to make a motion? Yeah. Is that a conditional motion? Conditional motion. Not really. I I mean it is it is out of jurisdiction so I don't think you can do a
conditional motion but I mean I understand that I think we need to work together to come up with a plan to make sure that this doesn't happen. I it we're not I'm not there every day so I don't see it but I I know so I have some but I understand you guys want to protect the wetlands and you guys want to pro protect the catch basins. So
we'll do what we have to to be compliant but the big the big thing is is that we're going to go through uh a good grilling over the summertime in the end of the summer with uh Randy and DPW. So, um, don't be too hard to the fire cuz they're going to do the same thing probably 3 months they're going to be
checking that catch bas them out on the other side. Yeah. Yeah. They're going to probably vac on the other side and then Yeah, I'm sure that's going to happen. So, all those things are going to happen. So, that's why I'm just for this. I mean, I I'd ask you if you you
can do it by whatever you need to do, but um I I'd ask you to to have a little compassion the fact that I'm going to be dealing with Randy for four months. I'm gonna tell him he said that. You can you but he knows. I've told him to face. Well, eventually be in the minutes. Yeah. I mean, John got her now. He's got
John working over there. So, I'm going to give them They're both going to be up me. All right. So, if Sabrina's happy with it, then you'll get your compliance. Partial certific. Yeah. Partial compliance for that
motion. Yeah. Do we have a second? I'll second that. Second from Chris Pratt. All in favor? Andy? I Chris I. Dennis I. Norm I. Cherry I. Tab I. No I. Unanimous vote. Thank you very much. Thank you.
Appreciate that guys. No problem. Do you have the Can you pull up the north column worksheet? That one right there. Okay. Okay. The next item, you have a copy in your
package. It's the draft northbond corrective action plan and responsibilities. had a meeting with with sele reviewed the north one collected actions that the select board had come up with and I took the multi-page
document and tried to get it down to a single spreadsheet. There are some people in town that feel that conservation commission failed at addressing this problem when it
happened. That may it be a political thing or not, but it's at least it's out there. I want to make sure that we have a plan in place that's going to quickly react and address the situations to show that we've got it under our control.
Okay? And that's what this document is trying to do. I am willing to volunteer to be the project lead, but I need responsible parties for individual actions that take place here. The first item we've got is we got
to close the gates off at illegal entrances near the private property near the vernal pool. DPW appropriate for that. No, I I would like somebody on our commission to make sure it happens. I've met with Randy
Brown. Yeah. He has no labor available for two to three months and he also has zero funds for something like this. He and I walked the property and went to the the gate that's there. and we had pre he had previously
moved in two large folders that the individual has since very quickly moved out of the way. So that was not substantial enough. I have a picture of situation that I can I can pull up. Let me share
again. I went out there. Was it Sunday, Saturday or Sunday? I went out to do some more litter pickup and this is the gate. I found it open. I spent an hour searching the conservation property looking for a
four-wheel drive vehicle. Did not find one. Did not hear one. Uh but there were new tracks and I took a picture of the tracks out right outside the fence. This is an 8ft swinging gate that we need to come up with a method to permanently
prevent him from opening the gate. So has there been a lock on it and he got the lock? Is that what's happened or we It's on his property. So, we can't do anything about Oh, it's his gate then. It's his gate. It's not our gate. His gate. Got it. So, we need to come up
with something on this side of his gate when it's closed so that we can permanently prevent him from getting in. So, is this side of the gates this side of the gate is north ponds. That's correct. That is correct. So, if you put boulders in front of the gate, so he
can't swing it this way. That's what we did before. then quickly move the boulders out of the way. I'd love to set up a meeting with Frank Salamini from the environmental police and get some suggestions from them what they would uh what they would do in an instance like
this and how they can aid us in some uh information some help with it. What do you think Chris Frank idea? They've done a lot of work out there. Yeah, they've made great progress with the other side of the fish and game.
It'd be good to have them to back us up behind us also. All right. Now, can they can they patrol the northbound property or do they the environmental police? Yeah. Yeah, they can. It's their jurisdiction over
all environmental properties and Yeah, it's very they're they police like you said that area very well. I wonder why they have they faced Chris Town one time. I was I was snowmobile one winter and they literally impounded my snowmobile
and I was probably 100 ft from my own property. Yeah, that's right. You got the property right? Yeah. Impounded it. Yep. Impounded. It was when they got Remember when Wayne was Hispanic? It was the same winter they cracked down and they were like very strict for like that
one year. They were like Yeah. And we I the thing is I stopped. I stopped. So I thought it was local cops. So I stopped because I wasn't going to you know there was probably 20 of us. Me and two of my friends stopped and they impounded my snowman. I stopped like
really like you're kidding me. All right. So you want to do that? Is that a good idea? Where did the boulders go? One went into the pond, I think. And the other one is to the right just before the pond. Andy I've seen them move Jersey barriers, you know. if they got the equipment that I'd like to talk
to the get some professional advice on this to see talked to Randy Brown about what he has what equipment he has available and he's got a mini loader that he brought the boulders in with and he can't do anything bigger than that
without widening the trail he needs 15 ft to bring a larger vehicle in a jersey barrier. Yeah. And my other my other question is either side of the trail, how steep is that? Because if you block the trail off, are
they going to be able to go around it? Like how is the terrain on either side of the trail? To the left of that fence is is a fence that he owns, goes all the way up the end of his property. So he can cut a hole wherever he wants. Huh. So he can cut a hole in that wherever he
wants. Well, he could and then he'd have to create a another trail trail. It's it's pretty rugged brush through there and it is a little steep. So to the right to the right of that is the is a pond. So that's what I'm saying. So there's a steep bank on the right side. It's the left but the left side there is
room for them to get by and just can keep migrating up. That's correct. Has this person been contacted to, you know, to explain that he's not supposed to do this? He has spoken to me several times. Diane
Gail would like to speak. Dangal 5.0 road. Um the we had proposed the swing gate. Um but that swing gate you're saying the one that was there is too large. It's too large. But we could switch the two
swing gates. Well, both of the swing gates that are at the parking lot are about the same size. Are they the same size? Yeah. Okay. All right. Um yes, he does know that he's not supposed to be there. He has This has been going on for years. Okay. Um, he also does it at dusk
when people can't identify him. It is very well orchestrated when he's in there. If he cuts another hole in the fence and a new trail leads in, a new trail is developed by his traffic, we're going to know where it comes from, it's going to be clear that
it's him. Yeah. But they need to find him there doing it because he's down there clearing the beach. How about the How about the Cool? Oh, sure. Well, we're coming up on Okay.
Okay. Later on. Uh, now what? There's one other area we need to close off and then we'll come back to Dennis's suggestion. So, let me stop share.
and share again. There are two areas at the end of Bab Road that need to be partially closed off to prevent vehicular traffic from entering. This is the one that's off of the Lake View Apartments. It's
about a three- foot wide. Okay. And then right over here is the next picture I'm going to show you. [Music] Share and can I just while you're clicking Sure. just mentioned this is not to
restrict anybody's fund on the property. This is to respect the conservation that we got. Okay. So, obviously I don't have the picture for the other home, but on the left side
here, we have another three-foot entrance that could be closed with fencing. And then there's an eight or nine foot opening between that tree and this tree over here. Now I talked with Randy about solutions
for this and again he doesn't have any money or any labor. Bards would be a beautiful solution. What is it? Bowlards. That's that post thing you talking about,
right? Yeah. You talking about removable ballards or permanent per you could position them so that you couldn't get a straight entry from a M. Yeah. Okay. Uh or we could uh Sabrina had the idea
of putting a a multi-turn uh entrance, maybe a Z formation, sharp right hand turns, two or three of them, so that you can walk through, but you can't get a a motorcycle through. So,
you have some ideas, but this has to be closed for a motorcycle entry, a TV entry. And by the way, this fence over here, that's the individual that owns the owns the property that we had problems on the first very first one
that I showed you for Patrick. For Patrick. Well, that's his property right here as well. So on the other side of that tree is the swing gate at the end of Bad Road. There is
there used to be a swing gate there. It is off, disconnected right now. And it's it's up to the right hand side of this picture. Oh, it's there. It's off now. But this it's off.
I mean, so temporarily, couldn't they just get DW out there and throw a post on the ground just for now anyway till we get the money for a swing gate or for a roundabout or whatever you want? or post from the grounds. It's not going to stop our motorcycle. Well, if we I'm
sorry. Yes. If we take that other swing gate from the parking area, you put it there. We have an extra there that we need to remove because we don't want emergency vehicles having to go through two of them.
If you block that off 100% impenetrable and spend all the money in the world, cut this fence, cut that fence, and ride your motorcycle. Right. Well, then they're cutting private property fencing. They already pour out a fence and interpret this and everything else that's been put there,
moved boulders. Why would they not just put someone else? That's But there's no signage or anything up there right now. Right. Got to have something to make them aware that they're the year the snowmobiles get impounded, it's stopped. That's what
I'm saying. You need to police it. Like we can do everything we want. snowmobile motorcycle is going to get through anything you do. Like they'll just find another way around. Your little battery di grinder. There's a whole slew of signage that the
slope board is asking to go in all over the property, including here. Oh, good. Okay. But until the warrant approves gets gets approved tomorrow night, we can't proceed with getting the signs that bylaw. Okay. And you have that
bylaw in the package by it's warrant 23. It's an eightpage document in case you want to prepare for the meeting. Okay. Uh so going back to we have four areas that we need to
close or at least partially close and I'm looking for one individual to say I'll take the lead to meet with whomever I need to meet with and come up with a solution ask for a party of of volunteers and and make it
happen. Well, I'd be happy to reach out north. Okay. Yep. So, we'll go Dennis there. Thank you. Okay. Close gates at the uh parking lot. That has happened.
Well, entrance to the scenic trail has happened. Although we do have a request to take the orange one that's nearest the parking lot and make it green. Replace it with the green one. The other one on the source.
All right. The one below on the door by the ropes. Okay. Or you can do both but um but right now got it covered. We can discuss changing the cuddle later. Okay. Close off the rope swing area has
happened. Okay. Okay. Wheelchair access. We can decide if the if we could try to decide if the trail in from the parking lot is too
hazardous. We can take steps to say it's not wheelchair accessible. Okay. But that I don't view that as an A item. Okay. It's a longer term. Then we got a whole bunch ones of signs. Well, then if
if we decide we don't want to wheelchairs access is too too much of a safety issue and we're going to ban wheelchairs, then we're going to go back and since they move the fencing, they have multiple openings off
the parking lot into the property have to be closed to prevent motorized vehicles from going in. Can we ban wheelchairs though? Well, we can ban them. Well, you can just say it's at your own risk. I think I was in a federal park that said this
is not suitable for which but they can go there, right? There's a section in the bylaw that addresses that that is basically at your own risk. You decide if it's accessible, but we don't have to make it more
accessible than it may or may not. We can't alter the area. We cannot alter the area. But I'm not saying so we couldn't put ballards up. I say we can ban it though is what I'm saying. Correct. Okay. That's why we have one right
accessible parking spot. They may or may not use it ever. Right. It's at their own risk. this wheelchair access. Well, like Norm said, not accessible at
your own risk. Not suitable for wheelchair accessibility. You know, I think there norm there is a category classification like rising's corner where it's not accessible for wheelchairs or ADA. So that can get written up as that, right? That's the
category classification. I I thought there was I'm pretty sure there is some places are just not able to be 88. They aren't. Right. Right. Right. And that's what Diane's saying. But I don't know that we can say you can't go there. That would
be at their own discretion. You know that just we're giving them the warning. We don't have to give them accessibility accessibility issue doesn't have to be work with the right state agencies to get that findings I had a question for
Diane about the uh consensus from the uh select board on the bylaw is there a consensus are they in favor of it um there are parts that one doesn't particularly care for but it's in the entire package and was
voted to move forward forward. So they will recommend it tomorrow night at the meeting. I believe so. Right. I believe so. Want to be prepared meeting? It wasn't really a popular thought to have a bylaw
about it. That when they had the big meeting up there. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they just basically said, "Get your no trespass signs. Make sure they're so many feet apart." Because a lot of these folks didn't even have no trespassing signs. Are you talking about the hunting part? Yeah.
broad. All right, cool. Okay, so then there's a whole bunch on signs. I asked Serena to be the sign person because until we get the signs up, the police can't really enforce anything. Okay, so it passes tomorrow
night, then when all the signs become an A item. Okay, you found a means huh? Prioritized mean number one priority. Number one. Some of the signs I I rated as a B
because it was less less important. Yeah. Um I I was approached by Mass Core um about signs and I've ordered one so far for you see quality control, see how
it is. Um, there you go. They're metal, right? They're metal. Nice metal signs. We'll see. We'll see when it comes in and then um then I'll be able to make a whole bunch of signs if if it's good and the holes are already pre-drilled.
Nice. The ones from the Southwoods were not. So, signs go to about halfway on the second page and you'll see video. request from the select board is that we put a video together saying what the conservation area rules and regulations
are. Just just for clarification, these um recommendations were from the entire task force that was on the north pond that presented it and the select board endorsed just for clarification. Thank you for
that. Okay, conservation surveillance. Okay, this would be cameras, which I think we'll talk in detail at our next meeting as we'll go into executive session. I'd like one person to take
ownership of the surveillance item, making sure that we've talked to the fire chief, making sure we we know what we want, we've picked out what we want, we found the funding, and
u then that they get installed. So, we're going to have discussions on because there may be several options. There may be several options, right? Absolutely. concept of him. Yes, we'll agree on. So, yeah. Andy, do you want to co-lead on
that? Andy and I both I prefer one name, but I like you can work on it. Erase Sabrina and put Chris. Yeah, we'll join him. He's over here whispering sweet nothing. Get him to do something.
Primary normal. I'm waiting for number 37. It's got my name all over it. Okay. Uh can I just request that the uh next executive session being on like I said here I might not be able to make it in no we don't have anyone to
write minutes so and it's not like we can just review a reporting for that would be what June 16th I think this is too big of a priority to delay another two weeks I'll take care of the So June 6th if you can make it June
Okay. All right. So executive session June second. On June 2nd we'll have executive. Yeah. Okay. Police surveillance. We're going to ask the chief that he comes up with a schedule. Can we recommend a schedule? We
certainly can. Weekends when people are there. Yeah. I passed the sheriff's boat Monday morning at 9:00 heading booked for the lake. I just like why do we spend our money on a Monday morning on the lake? Yeah. Just
like I think they were just getting it going. We just left Saunders. So testing it out. That would make Yeah. He was on Potter Mill Road. So if he left Saunders, he'd look for a long way. Oh, okay. Well, I'll take that one day. I'll take that one to get with the
chief and try to get a schedule from him that's more prime time. You know, when we spoke to Chief Landis, it was tough to get officers to work on weekends, which was the biggest issue, but that's when everything happened. That's always been the problem. Yeah. Okay. Here's a reason to
vote for budget, which includes another officer. Okay. Sheriff. Okay. Then also under surveillance, I got conservation patrols. Can you pull that one up? This one. I think this one's in your package,
too. Yes, it is. Yes, this one. I put this one together and I've already done three patrols. Yes, shared. Okay, pull that one up. I appreciate it. And
what I've again this is assuming that the warrant article 23 gets approved tomorrow night. But I'd like to log in every time one of us goes in what they're there for the time, the date, the day of the week that they
commented and if they found any violations in any of these above areas. Okay. So I've been in there three times. I found littering twice and people off off the approved trails. There was
evidence that one of the snow fences we put up to prevent people getting on the scenic trail had been lifted up and people have gone underneath question. An animal, huh? Where's that going to be recorded? Well, there's
recording. We put we put that up high so animals could move. What if we have a shared document that when you're on you can just do it right on your phone when you're on Well, I'm I'm suggesting Yeah, I second that. Then you can upload a picture of whatever viol. Yeah, that'll
be good. Um, right. Which fence is that? The one by the the old boat launch area. No, the little short fence. little short fence. I think that's what he's talking about because he said next to King's
Beach. Yeah, it's the closest one to King's Beach. Um the people off approved trails. So people can be anywhere on that property except for the seating trail right now because we marked it as no trespass. Um they can
technically be off pro uh off trail trail, right? Um the only thing is that we can't create new trails. That's the caveat. They can meander. They can meander. And beaching of
boats is technically legal as long as they're not on dry land. We just say dry land above the water. Yeah, that's a new benchmark. High water. Yeah, that's what
I intended. But yeah. The signage should strongly suggest this is the scenic trail. You are on the scenic trail. You are here to try to be ethical on those trails. Okay. The next item is
vegetation. Add vegetation to the scenic trail. I made that a C item to uh determine if it will reveate on itself. Okay. Give it some time to see and then if it doesn't then we should do some
plantings. Erosion is the next one. Now there are four trail there are four trails into King's Beach and I think only two of them are legal. Is that correct? None of them are approved trails. There
are no approved trails that go onto the bunking beach. Doesn't mean they can't walk there, but there are some eroded areas. One, the largest trail last year, the year before, and I believe we had a boy scout their sticks.
Yeah. In there. And it's pretty effective. Um Well, the one It's been like a month since I've been there. The one that's the furthest south, which is nearest Kurpatre, is the most eroded. Mhm. And
there's nothing really there's nothing there stopping it from eroding further. So what do we need to do to restore it to n what's naturally there? Um leaf litter and high like that's
going to prohibit any getting much vegetation growing. So we're going to just plant like there's probably not much grass in that wooded area, is there? You really need to do plantings is what we would have to do really to get vegetation like ground feather and
stuff. Correct. That's that's like rounded out like a half pipe now. There's a couple feet deep. Yeah, that's like where the ATVs go up and down. Try putting the plan. That's I I agree with that and that's that was
my intention. Yeah. Somebody signed up to be the owner. I'm starting I'm starting to sign myself up. I'm asking what I Let's get to what you sign up. Let's skip ahead to number 38. This ask of
butter because we put all this time and effort in here at this level and now we're going to go put in more time and effort. Why aren't the people that are benefiting directly by being neighbors to this out there throwing in the sweat equity that he's going to throw in to rebuild a trail?
Well, it's not really a trail, right? We're supposed to we're so the whole idea is how h how isvent people are still going to walk down to kin speech. Correct. So yeah. So no matter what we do, people are going to
foot traffic is still going to obviously other things cause more erosion than foot traffic, but foot traffic does cause erosion. Correct. Correct. And it's and trampling. It's going to like just like your lawn. Like we walk out to our chicken coop, it's grass, but you can see where the grass literally from
walking across the lawn just walking. It doesn't grow as good, you know. So, do we come up? Go ahead. If we pass that bylaw, it allows for you to close off sections of any area for restoration for
a period of time. So, you could close off the lowest section and let that grow and see how it goes. If it's successful, you move it up. Well, that's what that's what we're doing right now with the scenic trail. We also have to get permission from the state to close it off too beforehand, but they're pretty
but they're us. Yeah. Um, so maybe that would be the next step is to So it wouldn't be restoring the entire area right now. We're going to try the worst areas and then leave other areas open. I think that Yeah. Yeah. Yep. One step at a time. There would never be some type
of long-term plan to like do some type of natural like stone steps or something that where you funneled everybody to one area rather than be against the CR because I figured that that would be the answer
but like if you just it was just rock or something like flat stones like do they say you can't bring any fill in too say you wanted to bring a couple loads of just depends for the purpose but for acceptable method to bring in certain materials in the equipment. It's not
totally banned. It's just you have to use specific materials for that. That's that's an idea. Yeah. Yeah. As long as you go back for the purposes of a conservation restriction if it is aligned with that then this using it for restoration probably not a bad idea. But
if you're using it to make a pathway for people correct I'm just like I get that. I'm just saying like no matter what people are going to walk down. I agree with you. If that was legal, that would be the way to go. Yeah. Yeah. Make it
safer. Make it less erodable. Yeah. Yeah. Solve a problem. Okay. I mean, yeah. It's not It's not the people that's the issue. It's the erosion that So, did you stop him before he signed up for a computer? Well, yeah. You can put me down there, Nor. All
right. Erosion control. Yeah. All right. Nice. We had talked a lot about like permitting committees to help on particular parts. Oh, sure. And now we're talking about us going out there and doing all the work. Well, well, after we finish this, we're going
to talk about We'll get people to help. Another sheet of paper. Okay. Okay. All right. Let's see other barriers. There was on hold is areas preventing people from getting to the lake at
King's Beach. That's on [Music] hold. Putting rope floats x amount of feet off the off the beaches also on hold. Then we have a safety potential
safety issue. We have a large fallen tree that's got two sections to it. as it fell and last year it was about six feet off the ground crosses the trail. It's now about 4 feet. So, well,
that's not that's not one of the approved trails. Still a safety issue. Is it a safety issue? Yeah, because you can go anywhere you want. You just said people are allowed there. Mhm. Right. So if it's all over it. Yeah, there's there always going to be trees down somewhere
in the woods. But so did you want to cut it so it's not an overhang when it's just actually on the ground? Yeah, that thing is thick. We need permission. Yeah. I believe she said they lay where they fall in general. Yes.
Fell on somebody. Right. Right. We put it down on the ground and no longer a safety issue I would say. and it's pretty but that would have to be approved. Anybody uh care to sign up for that one? Okay to sign up for that one. Thank you
Andy. Now, one thing I didn't mention on page one, we have funding. funding is funding just one or is it funding any way that somehow that one didn't appear
on this list did it? Anyways, we're going to have funding issues to accomplish all this stuff. A lot of it can come from different areas. And Dennis, I put you down, your name down. Yeah, looks like I got volunteered
because you're our CPC representative. I suppose that makes sense. It's not on this list though, huh? It's not on this list. No, number 19, maybe. Is that where what usually? Yeah, it's under signage funding from Oh, yeah. There we go. Okay.
Thank you. Well, we didn't forget it. Is that where all our funding will come from for expenditures? Not necessarily. Okay. Do we have any funding in out? Well, I guess I should We have some money in there now. Yeah, we have some funding
for a specific purpose. Um already it's like 88 8,000 a little over $8,000. It was CPC grant for trail maintenance and signage. Okay. We just have to kind of
look back at what the warrant article says exactly and that'll tell us what we can use the money for. But I think it's that. Yeah. Yeah. I believe some some Okay. All right. Anybody have any a lot of
heartburn with this? Not yet. Not yet. So let's go to the next one which which is in their package. This is open conservation commission open projects meeting a leader.
Okay. The first one is to develop and execute a comprehensive collective action plan for North Pond. I have signed up for that. If somebody would like to take that in my place, I'd be glad to give it away. But I got the draft plan done. Cameras for the conservation properties.
Properties. How does that differ from the properties? You can move them any place you want. Okay. So, this is just to have them. The first sheet we looked at and the second the first sheet was specifically for North Pond. Ah, this one is we can move them to any
conservation area we want. Conservation. Okay. So, can I put Jerry? Yeah, I'll do that with you, Jerry. I'll hold the ladder. You can go up. All right. Sure. All right. Number three. Take Conservation Commission minutes until we
have a new secretary. Sabrina and I met with uh Nicole. She was supposed she wasn't it Naen? Ning or did I don't know if you No, we met with Naing. excuse me. Uh, she's posted the job. She's got no other
resources to help us right now. So, until then, we're on our own. The minutes from the last meeting have not been formalized yet. We haven't done this meeting. We do have somebody to cover the next meeting, but only as secretary. Yeah. She said she
can't she can't do more hours because she's only allowed eight hours a week. So, she can't do she can't actually write the meeting minutes. But I asked her to at least write the notes. So, what's it going to be? It's going to be two months, three months, I don't
know. I don't know. I also talked to um Cindy. She works um limited hours and she said she's going to look into possibly being our interim secretary, but she won't
find out until like June. Who is this? Her last name. Bur. She's the She's the um secretary for a It's my cousin's Yes. Barton. Barton. I almost said Burton. Was it I didn't want to mess it
up. Um she said she was going to look into it. She's going to start an internship soon, but I mean I'm trying. Okay. So, we can either have one person volunteer or I can put a schedule
together and we'll rotate it. Any comments on that? You think Andy should do it? I should write the Oh, fantastic. I think Andy would be great. He always stretch. Andy or Chris? I approve. I approve the motion for Andy.
They're both on that motion. You guys are killing me. I'm going I'm gonna go back to number 38 on the other page, which was we're Why aren't we recruiting other people to help? Ask butters. I wrote it down here. Right. I wrote it down. Right. I'll take a rotation. I'll do the first one. Okay.
All right. Do I get to sit in the office with you and Yeah. All right. I'll put a schedule together. Can I yell at people while I'm doing it? Yeah. Sign in. Oh my god. Don't be so much good at that. I'll see how good he is. We need that. You know, he's cheating me more. I
didn't say that. I did. I didn't say that. Thank you. Appreciate that. Okay. Not for me. Moving on to number four. Put the roof on the Granville Gorge kiosk. It's been there for two years without a roof. I'll put a roof on that bad girl. All right. Sure. Andy, y'all
going to come help? I'd be glad to help. Okay. Um, are we getting materials or am I bringing my own? Let me know what you need. We might have but like soon because we the new fiscal
year is coming. So if we want to order something the sooner the better before the next fiscal year. Just looking for a metal roof. Right. Yeah. Metal metal roof. Right. What do we have left in budget?
No. Because then the corrugation's going the wrong way. All con. Yeah, right. Got like thousand. It's only like three people, isn't it? They re-roofed my storage, so I got like thousands, but it's all chrome cut, you know, aluminum
color. We want the fancy green, or do we just want a roof? Just want a roof. Originally, we were looking for the green, but And the size, it's bas It's based off of the Why isn't this working? Trying to see how much money we have. Um, it's
based off of the kiosk at the North Pond. So, if you do those measurements, you know, you know this. Okay. Thank you, Andy. Okay. Number five, create an open file of NOIs and RDAs, both paper and
electronic. Sabrina has started that one with help from Izzy. She wrote fantastic. Great. Thank you everyone. She's graduating and moving on to bigger and better things. She's got the whole summer on. No, she doesn't. No, she
doesn't. She's a busy girl. Um so what Izzy's been doing um along with the minutes and um certifying verb pools is she's taken um nearly all of our RDAs and
NOIs and put them in alphabetical order via street wise. So, and with that she's um adding on little red tabs, which by the way, they lost our order. So, we're going to get Exactly. So, the stack is just high. So, we'll just have
to improvise. Um she's putting little red tabs on all of the files that do not have a certificate of compliance. There's a lot. Yep. So, at least we'll have a visual when we open the drawers. This, this, this, and that. Um there's no certificate. And this goes back to like
the 1980s. Wow. Um, so we have that and then we'll have to that would jam someone up when they try to sell the property, right? It should even as far back as the sometimes if it comes up depends on the lawyer.
There's no bond usually people don't care, right? Okay. closure of Lily dry land ownership issues. I did send a letter to the chief
administrative officer. She gladly said she would take that and oh take it to I will take that unless somebody else wants it. Nope. Um just a step back. We have
sounds like your thing now. $2,300 in land maintenance right now. Um, just let you know to buy a roof. Yes. And other land maintenance things. So, even like the North Pond area, we
need purchase that by it's uh June 30th. June 30th. But don't wait until June 30th to June like mid June. mid gym because then things start to get really hairy. Next meeting. You don't
want to have to carry it over and all that kind of Yeah. stuff and Jean's not here to do all that great stuff and just it's a nightmare. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. On the 97 open space committee is up and
running. Open space. This is our This is a master plan uh priority number one item. Person that knows the Yes, D. Um last year when we did appoint an open space
committee member who is still valid right now, Conor Flurry. He's an excavator. So Kevin may want to connect with him on an erosion and partner with him. But if you get in touch with him and have anything to assign right now, he is still appointed for this period
and he wants to reinforce. That's why he on that one. Didn't know that. Not until he moves here, which he's trying to find some place to live. Okay. Is that open space? What was it? Mine is five, wouldn't it?
Five into two associates. That's pretty good. Now there's just one, right? Well, I mention that at the end here. Then I also put a posting on all the Facebook forums seeking members for all the open committees including. Now, if we fill this board, that's more
labor for us, right? To fill the board. No, to help with our projects. Well, they used to be the they used to be the project. That's what the open was. I think when someone comes in and has a complaint, the form should be right here to sign up for the board.
Have like a pad on their hand right there. You're in the room, but you know space planning maintenance and planning committee. So, planning for your future and maintenance and our and our plan our
open space plan is expiring. anything for example right I thought it was five years yeah five years to start it's seven years but they wasn't it seven years it is seven it says it in the document
so it's still it but it takes I don't know a year two years to do everything couple years to get so the sooner we get that pioneer valley planning consultant that for right well we did just have a they're pretty much useless pioneer valley planning We hire them and they
come back and ask us what we want to do. Yeah, it's best to keep it in house as much as possible. The only thing they helped was was the mapping last time. A template now is a private, right? Yeah. Right. But Chris, was that something you might
be interested in? Chris, sorry. I think something you might be interested in. Think so. Getting the open space committee up and running. Well, I I put some work into it already, so you did. Yeah. I'd like to see that happen. Okay. Thank
you. Y last item is the open space uh action item number 1.1 pamphlet to Congam Shorefront owners about their responsibilities under protection act. I put myself down for that. I wrote the
letter. Unfortunately, uh we asked for endorsement from Sfield and we did not get it and now I have to rewrite the letter. Um, what I did this year for the LPP mailings, I put in a pamphlet about
the Wetlands Protection Act. And then I also put in a pamphlet about um, dog waste and ecoli. I don't flicking it in the notice that got the dog waste one though
because I think I was having issues with the printer or deadline or something. Um, but at least everyone on the South side got both pamphlets and I forgot what Stone Connecticut got.
I think had a program they recommend keeping stuff. Yeah. Yes, he got it. Okay. If anybody wants to see him again. Yeah, they need two she sent out. Or maybe I was like, he knows he doesn't
need one. Don't waste it on the dogs. The trash. Okay. So, appreciate everybody signing up. We'll uh I like to report out each each week each meeting to give us an update on
progress. Thank you, Sabrina. You get these in there, too. Yes. And the hydrillaa little hydrillaa information. That's a great one. That's amazing. Watch out. Okay, next item uh is review the master plan and implementation document for
changes in the of the master plan. Um working with the hour. I'll put that on the next agenda. We'll cover it then. Okay. [Music]
Okay. And discussion of Japanese not weed. Not weed. My eyes deceive me. How do you get rid of that stuff? Yeah, maybe maybe we I was just thinking this just joke. This is joking, bro. Maybe we should
transplant the knotweed and and then get that vegetated on this. Next to the multiflo it might end up just getting there on its own. Oh man. Um it likes more sunlight in that area though. It
does like some likes more sunlight. The Japanese knotweed is a pioneering species. Yes, in Japan, but it pioneers on volcanic sites. So, it actually breaks through the volcanic crust. That's the type of plant that you're working with. It is a survivor. There's
something over there that regulates the knotweed. We don't have that here. And it just goes crazy. Right. Through the shoots. Yeah. But also the cutings. And the cutings. All you need is a thumbs worth, right? Yeah. Now it's like an exit. You'll see it
like it goes right down the you keep hitting it with your car 200 ft. I think the shoots can go out. Can't kill it. And the problem is is like you notice a lot of on like road sides especially where there's like water crossings and I think a lot of it's not intentional but
maybe it's a lack of education or knowing what it is when the town's doing their mo mowing. Yeah. Cut it and spread. They're mowing it and they're spreading it. So, right, I was hoping that Randy or somebody I know we tal I spoke with Randy about it up on hillside where there's the it's loaded on
hillside. It's on Klein Road and it's actually coming down Fred Jackson now where um the where chief uh the chief slot used to be on the corner of there's I don't know if it's either from the mowing from Klein when they come up
Klein and then down Fred Jackson or if it's from when they did that first work on Fred Jackson there maybe when it was int Yeah when they did that cover it's one of the two but it was never there and it's there now so is Fantastic.
Yeah. Um I actually did get a few things. I uh t asked our soil nutritionist who we like that's where we get all of our stuff from like fertilizer and stuff like that like if she's ever dealt with it and you know
there's methods some of like of course the one method that they say is that you to do it is to spray with glyophate which is ground up you know. Nobody likes that you know. Um, but you got to do it. But there's herbicide treatment, but there's also the methodology of
smothering, which we basically just cover it and then that no light. Correct. So, but I printed this out like there's I only got three of them, but if everybody wants to kind of look look through, you have to cover it and overlap that area by a lot because you know where those shoots have gone.
Correct. Well, and that's the other thing like really it says the only real way to get is to actually remove soil that the roots are I pull the roots out everything and it just comes back only possible. This is invasive. Oh, it's very invasive. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. So,
like you can spray and it's really going to help control it, but really like it takes years and years and years of of that to try to actually get rid of it. I don't know if you ever baselville dam was covered. Goats like it.
Goats enjoy it. Um I did talk to Randy. He was going to try to make tonight's meeting, but um I think his wife is on a vacation or he's he's taking care of the kids. Okay. Um and I swear he did some sort of training on
Japanese mountain, but he's like it's not ringing a bell. Okay, fine. So, we talked about what can he do with uh his DPW crew right now. And they've talked about hand cutting them and taking the cutings. I told him put it in a trash bag and then put it in the hopper.
Correct. So, at least we're not spreading it any and if he can actually help the guys that are doing the mowing identify what it is so when they're mowing, they can skip over those areas with the mower instead of mowing it, you know? And I
told him I'm like if we need to do like some sort of ID like session um we can do that once you once you obvious once you know what it is it's it's obvious like you said like bamboo. Yeah. But I think some of the guys don't know what it is. You know what I mean? I think
they've just been mowing it. Yeah. It's all over the transfer station. It's all over the place there. Yeah. Is it in Great Brook yet? Probably somewhere. those those thumb the the the pieces float and when they float they
just kind of get stuck somewhere and then they start they're like they're they grow they're facultative I think I don't think they're obligate species they can grow anywhere um but they can grow with wet feet so and there's one I
saw a clump last year over by the weird gate um at the south ramp there's a clump right there that'll work right next to the lake. So you get a piece of that flowing in the lake and then it goes off in someone's yard just like the used to just keep multiplying.
Yeah. So this is the it's a longterm commitment. Five years. Well, the other thing that we talked about and I don't know is is there any grant funds that like the town could apply for like at this from the state or like I don't even
know where we're looking for that type of stuff, but the master um oh suggested like yeah Brandy and I were talking about longterm as well and then we would
need to come up with we would need to also have a licensed person administer the herbicide. Yeah, you can spray. I think you can inject the stocks too. Everything likes vinegar and salt. Says a lot of that like is more like late
fall, early or late summer, early fall is when to to apply the herbicide. That's honey bees. Honey bees love those flowers and that's when they flower out. So you got to think of
after the flowers. I think that's why it's saying it's most effective way to kill is that's the most vulnerable time for the plant which obviously is not that's the one thing about herbicides is is using herbicides
honey be you know that's but it's it says in this literature that that's really like the most effective way time of killing it. Yeah. But that's just something starting a conversation. at least have the DPW be
aware and not spread it anymore. Yeah, I think that's almost the biggest thing is just making people aware but to try to reduce limit the spreading, you know, like and even like people have it in their yards. People who have it in their yards, they
can spray herbicide on it as long as it's not within resource area. We tried doing it right. I've done everything. Yeah. She's been sold dry and everything. Where do you have it? Is it by your house or is it some yard by my driveway?
Right right next to the wetlands. Yeah. Well, as Diane mentioned, the master plan implementation committee has identified invasives as as an item, a new action
item. It hasn't been given to anybody yet. It might be a sign to conservation conservation or [Music]
right. Well, thank you. Good start. Okay. All business is next. Updates to master plan prioritization. We had two outstanding ones. Do you have anything to submit them? All right. Don't film this time, huh? Don't
film this time. All right. Thank you. I have them in the car. Okay. My booty from made me forget. They're all filled out and everything. Thank you both. That's nice. Anything on the dead tree and North Pond
Conservation Property? No. Blufffield Conservation Commission meetings. I missed the last two because of other meetings that I have to go to here now. But either meeting there was nothing about the
lake. But u as I mentioned last last meeting 623 Forest Road that massive projects underway. Yeah. and got my boat in the water and the silt fence and hay bales, they
do they used hay bales and not straw bales, but are in place and they seem to be holding up but it's going to be an all summer project. The big house big house going turtle
gold. Um, bless that update. Any report from our coordinator? Yes. Well, just letting you guys know, you do have a copy of the bylaw in your folders. So, if you want to take that phone, go ahead. Also in your folders is
a response from um Mark Baslin about Lily Drive. I have yet to read it. Um, it's kind of lengthy. So, you do have that. you can take it home and read it. Um, let me know if you want me to put that on the agenda and do that. Got that
kicked upstairs, so that's good. After reading that, it really needs to go someplace else. Yeah. Um, so there's that. There are a couple of things that I've been working on. 97 Sheet Pasture Road is a project that
is technically out of our jurisdiction, but Muddy Water from that development area is getting into the stream. I sent out a letter via certified mail to them last week. Um, so hopefully they'll get
back to me. There's no silk fences at all and there's no tracking pad. So, is that a development or Yeah, family. They want to put I think eventually like a single family home on the property. Then,
um 361 357 Holiday Drive. We have a little bit of an LP issue. Um, one of the neighbors said that the the dock of their neighbors is on the
the property line. So, I contacted the homeowners and um they're being uh compliant about it. They will move it June 30th because of health issues. They can't move it any
sooner than that. Um and they also put in finally put in their application for LPP that's in Southfield. It is in Southfield. Yeah. And so this is a they're finally, you know, coming into compliance. Then um I had here site
visit over for North Longard Road. I was supposed to talk to the the neighbor today. He was going to confirm a day that we could go out um and do a site visit and check out the neighbor's yard, but he didn't call me. He I think
needs to travel. If it he said it's weather dependent, so if it's rain, he stays here. If there isn't rain, he goes off and I think he has another property somewhere else. So, I'm not sure if we're going to have that site visit this. We had pencled it in for Wednesday
at 4:30. It was either Wednesday or Thursday. because Andy was going away on Friday. Yeah. I'm trying to leave even earlier and earlier. Yeah. Yeah. Thursday would be best. Yeah. You wanted to knock out both of them on the same day, right? That would be fantastic.
Back from this guy 79. 79. I mean, if that's possible. So, the other site visit that I I messaged you and Norm. You two and Norm. Yeah. Not anyone else. Two o'clock. It was for They wanted two o'clock May 29th.
but I'm going to be hitting the road around that time. So, that's why I wanted to see if either of you could do that site visit with them. And then I I responded when I got the text from you guys, I responded back to them asking if they could do it this week. Yeah. For
three, like this Wednesday. Yeah. Yeah. And she Nina hasn't gotten back to me yet. So, I'm working on that. Okay. You'll let us know. So, waiting to hear from them. Yeah. I'm waiting. I'm waiting. Yeah. All right. So, so do we have anything hard for Wednesday yet? Nope. Nothing. Okay. Nothing. So, those
two site visits are up in the air. Um, I'm going to be I'm not going to be able to attend the next meeting. A I just realized that I'm going to be gone and somebody's got a 70th birthday. So, up in the north country. So, that's
