Third. This is a hybrid. Looks like bias master. Eating minutes long. Just checking to see if I had a text. Okay, just we're reading reading minutes. Put down
place it Yeah. I Everybody should make a motion to accept. Have a motion to accept the meeting minutes. There's a second. Second. We have a second. All in favor? I meeting

from his car and doesn't spend any more time outside necessary. It's nice out there. blacksmith came over this morning with a couple of horses. Is this my favorite kind of day? 95 degrees and 100 degrees
against the horse. They do put out nice and winter in the winter. It's okay, but not right now. Yeah, I'm working collecting everything or Yeah, it turned out okay.
No, it's much more reliable. It's a little quiet down here. Still a little quiet down here. You read the sign on your way in. Oh, you just show up from the trees.
Everybody been changing almost a year. Where? Where? These are the ones from previous. Yeah, that was Oh. Since you weren't you weren't at the last meeting, we don't really need to
review that. So, we have already reviewed [Music] the other thing to discuss is this. Uh, we do tonight. I don't know if it's a new procedure or not. It says on here that was effective
April 1st, 2024, but this is the first talk about it might be early. It's called a team peer review process. And after reading this thing, I could barely make heads and tails out of it. So, uh, I, uh, I sent the email to the
chairperson of the select board asking for a translation of the corporate speak to to English. And she wrote back, "The peer for review forms are optional should your board elect to adopt their use. It
can be as a standard procedure or on an ad hoc basis." So basically each member evaluates those with terms expiring. They can submit them to the chair to confidentially collate and if improvements are indicated the chair can
counsel the member and together determine if any if the member wishes to stay on the board. Ultimately, the chair could direct all responses to be forwarded confidentially to the select board administrator
and she will provide them to the select board in confidence to evaluate before automatically reappointing people. These aren't these aren't to make things more complicated. Some groups end up
with problem members and no method to document it and advise the select board. number of chairs asked for this. If you perceive no issues or concerns from the members, you're good to go, but it doesn't hurt to ask. So, I got an idea.
They tag you and say, "Hey, Mr. Chairman, you have any problem? Your board members are coming up and get the client confidence." That's what you can do. And then, yeah, they can meet with them and talk and council if they're the ones voting in, you know, hey, here's some concerns that were brought up. How are we going to handle, you know, do you
are you interested? So quitting dirty work on us. Yeah. Shifting the responsibility. Yeah. Yeah. And as far as confidential anonymous thing goes. I don't know how I don't know how that works because it
looks like you know you everybody has to print out a paper copy and then fill it out and then give it to me and review the reviewer. You know what I So, I mean, who's up this year? Two are Mike is safe. No, Mike is this year, too. Alternates are
every year. I would I would question Mike, be honest with you. Uh just because he's never here or the winter or this summer. Yeah. Seriously. I mean I mean Daniel you came on because
we you know Chris love he did well time being honest. Yes, I'll probably deny it, but I will get I received an email from Mike and I'll
I'll give you his uh his input on it. In part, he says boards are are fortunate to have people who are willing to serve their towns. We are not all perfect, but are willing to try to serve the community in ways each of us can.
asking each other to quotel on each other I don't think serves the purpose of volunteerism. So that's who wrote that I don't disagree in a way have a major v is
yeah I mean I I can see both side I can see the side that yeah you you have somebody that that has a problem with or whatever whatever it is and this this gives a way to get presented select but
as you I didn't really think of what what your suggestion was the select board should come to the chairman or or get the chairman or vice chairman put on put it on their agenda. Well, not their agenda, but somehow meet they have these executives. I would say no problem.
Exactly. I had no problem with that. Um I think we all kind of put our hands out. Like you said, it's tough to do this, you know, a couple times a week. Sometimes I'm traveling, but I make an effort as much as possible or I go visit site plans or I go whatever. Um, and
that's part of the volunteerism, right? But make room for somebody that wants to do this that takes, you know, think the service isn't being done until the community. There's no consistency. Um, yes, I know a lot of people in town.
I know a lot of scenarios that's helpful for you, Paul. So, it's helpful because there's history or at least opinions, right? But I go meet with people and talk to them and say, "You've gone, you've been on site." It's the commitment of this position and if it's
not being followed and I take that I would take that to the point say hey there's an issue and you guys think about remployment there a couple concerns and that should come I guess when leadership like I said either you or me vice chair chair but not from us you
know pulling out ballot slips and sending in like it's a high school you know prom contest you know what I'm saying for king and queen it's it's a it's corporate thing b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b face corporate mentality. Okay, here's a Chris, I've been in corporate a long time. I showed
you this. This is like, you know, I do reviews. I'm not reviewing anybody, right? You're the one that Okay, here's review of the committee. You feel you got a problem, you should put they should come to you and say, is there any issue with anybody coming up for re-election, Mr. Chair? We'd like to hear your opinion.
We got to do anonymous slopes to come. Yeah. So nobody gets in trouble or nobody gets that's not being considered up for reappointment this year. That's there's nothing we can do about that. So this this thing it kind of came in the wrong order of course but doesn't
surprise me the least. But anyway, but I don't think we need to invoke. That's my thing. I think that I kind of agree with Mike this, you know, we should all be pick people, you know, say here's what the problem is. You want to stay on this coming up for reelement
reappoint. Um, so you have the option, you know, I think we still have today. Yeah. So it's something you have to submit. They don't have input. This is what they want input for
questions. Well, there's some my relatively short perception that alternate means like somebody waiting in the wings no one
someone else can't show up. Uh Tom was kind of kind of that way. He fed he fed into that eventually because he retired he got busy. I know. But I but he was always I can I I don't think he need
but there were other you know when Dave was on he he considered the alternate emergency filler. So that that seems to be kindception. Whereas you got to get up to speed. It was when I talked to Dan before
asking formally I said you're going to be an ultimate member but it's beneficial to everybody including yourself to come come all the time you said to me when we had a little interview in the barn or whatever
because you got to know what's going on because yeah it could be sick it could be whatever and have voting now what you're not just hey so I guess what here is we don't really I don't think so don't really need this system even
though there are some the bigger boards I think yeah have larger more personalities more you know what I'm saying but what do they do with elected you don't have those some of the some of these boards are hybrids elected and
appointed but of course there's probably something about that yeah ad hoc I were attorneys at the president I see this thing telling us we need to put out an ad looking for people. Yeah.
Thought there was a bench looking how many Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thankful job. I remember one of the applicants with Greg say he's like I didn't realize you guys were volunteers. Holy That's a big
go. The guy that we did on feeding those road for the addition and the cardboard. Oh, he was like, man, that's a you guys have got a lot of to do. No kidding. Yeah. So that just tells you he wouldn't want to do it. Thought we all had op. But yeah, so there's a lot of misconception. I think it's again it's
like anything else. Education people in the town, a lot of people don't show up the vote. I you see it every election cycle when you got 1,200,500 7,000. I know kids are involved in that, but I'm saying they're still pretty poor
to put their name on, you know, who what how they want the town to run, you know, and then things will go the way they're now the pitchforks and the fire come out. Well, have a voice. That's your voice. Protest voice. But um you know, it's all that crap. He shows up there
discontent. Well, you put your voice in it, didn't you? Like the water park, go on it. We'll talk about it. she shows up, people get this. What can be expected? But again, some of those meetings there's 300 that are voting on a major town.
Wow. You know, but yeah, so I can understand, you know, it's hard to get people to I did I found it with coaching. Everybody wants to Nobody wants to step forward and coach kids and deal with it, you know, because it's hard sometimes, not easy. But I
think I think a lot of this town I have a lot of admiration. I've been here most of my life to see good things come to this town happen. So that's my little voice that that's getting back involved gave to me. That's been I don't know almost 15 years. Can't believe long
time. Anyway, 20 2010. I know you do. As long as your So your license says so too. Elisha's birthday says so too.
Anyway, so I said that I report back to the select board. So what I'm going to say is we don't think we need this formal plan, but we would like the chairman and vice chairman. I think having two people is
better than just just one. So, I'm going to say I think we should be brought in by during an executive session if necessary to review the list that are up. Yeah. Quickly, I don't think it would take more than five minutes per person.
That gives them notes when a person comes. They either have questions or they'll form an opinion or they do whatever. I mean, we could we could use this form. Sure. You could as a guide. Sure. To formulate our own thoughts.
Sure. But I don't think these things I think you get the plan. I mean some of it's healthy. You kind of want that going. It's like it's like wait a minute, you know. But anyway, uh,
so there really is no other interest for this board or a lot of board. Yeah, there's a lot of bushes around the town that have but they don't publicize. I mean, how how
we ask ourselves, you do we know anybody that that wants to be on this? Everybody I've talked to is this. Yeah. Not easy. I mean, it's commitment. I get everybody busy, but you know, I mean, I I probably joined nine to 10
years ago, but at that time it was a little thing in what was the salt paper at the time to looking for board members. I said, "Gee, that sounds interesting." So went through the process, but but that doesn't exist anymore. probably
that newspapers 30 looking Snapchat or IG or whatever. Put Tik Tok up. That's singing and dancing like how fun it is.
Have a party hat. All right. That's all right. I think I have enough to get back. Anything on the boards coming up? That was quiet. You mentioned ring.
I don't think he waited his days. I stopped. There was a big hole. And I said I said, "Did you start digging the night you left?" You know, because I saw the you know, he's got Well, reason he started is because he's got friends in the construction fields. He's like, "I got cement. I got I got I got to move. I
had all I said I don't think you had any issues like but you are taking a risk. I got you passed him out." Yeah. I said, "That's just that's gutsy, but good for you." But yeah, so that's his trade. So
he's already got the foundation in. He was I saw him the other night. So I said to my wife, I said, "There's a guy that I respect does a lot of his own work. He's heating up taring himself, you know, on the outside. So it's obviously trying to save some
money, too. He has the knowledge and some of the resources which is helpful. All the rebar for his floor is put in a dugout basement which is smart. If you're going to do it, might as well contain space for storage or whatever. All the rebar came from job site. They
were thrown out. He goes there was probably 10,000 pounds of steel that I took two of it my web you He goes, "That's my car." Anyway, should have a shelter near your
building. He goes, "What is this building? Is this a nuclear site?" But the uh you know, he works for Eversource does construction for their plant programs. So you'd be surprised if they throw out job sites. The waste the waste
is just it's almost nause. So yeah goes they have a contract they buy it and that's it. So they don't get credit for anything. They just throw it out the money appropriate. Wow. So okay. All right. We have a monkey to
just curious when did my appointment probably already done 30th. Yeah, him too. They kind of put them on the schedule. We used to say I got a proud I got an email a separate email from from Diane saying is
everybody are the three members interested in continuing? And I said, as far as I know, they are, but they might not have submitted their paperwork. She said she was going to try to get it on tonight's agenda, but I don't think that that was going to happen. But she's she I
complimented her on doing better than September. So, so hopefully hopefully with the next three or four weeks that'll that'll be on the agenda and that'll get all straight.
Well, they're in session. You can bring it up and probably put if they can read it. All right, we ready to adjourn? I can put motion up. Motion second. Second everybody. Hi. Hi. Sounds like it
may delay too.
