All right. I will hereby call to order the regularly scheduled meeting of the Sunderland Select Board. The time is 6:30 p.m. All right. Our first order of business will be to approve the minutes from our 98 2025 meeting. >> A motion we approve the minutes from 98
2025. >> Second. >> All right. We have a motion made and seconded. All those in favor? >> I >> I >> I three nothing. Wonderful. All righty. Um, so our first order of business tonight, um, quick question. We
had, uh, said that the the, um, this order of business was going to be at, um, 645. Do we want to handle a couple things and come back to a 645 just to be sure? Okay. So, we're going to skip over the first one. We'll come back to that 645. Uh, first up, we'll be reviewing the 2-year renewal for Upper Pioneer
Valley Veterans Service District. And we have the paperwork for that in front of us. All righty. Does the board have any questions on this item? >> I do not. >> I do not.
>> Becky, is there anything in particular you want us to know about this before we vote on it? >> Um I think that the the organization is doing very well. Um, they've been The only problem we have in Sunderland is we
do not I think I have to confirm who our representative is. Um, I thought it was Tom Fighting Kevitz, but it is not >> and I need to confirm with Micah Hearn if he is our town representative because
if he's not, we need to um select board would need to appoint one. >> Okay, great. All right. Um, so we'll hear about that. Um, do you want to wait on a vote until we have that information or vote anyways? Okay. >> All right. At this time, I would entertain a motion to and this is an
extension of the contract from >> It's a new two years. Yeah. >> 24 to 206. Is that the >> It should be 26 to 28. I mean, >> I'm looking at the last one. Okay. So, at the time, I'd entertain a motion to um accept and sign an extension of the
Pioneer Valley Veterans um services district for two more years into 2028. >> Second. Oh, make a motion to extend the um contract for July 1, 2026 to July 1,
2028 for the Upper Valley Veteran Service District. >> Sorry. >> Second. >> All right, we have a motion made and seconded. All those in favor? >> I I >> I three nothing. Thank you, Becky. >> Thank you. All right. Next up,
uh, South County Senior Center update. Um, tomorrow, I'm sorry, on Wednesday night, there's going to be a meeting of the South County Seniors uh center and the discussion is going to be with EDM,
the architect, and they will be giving their um their short deep dive analysis of the possib if they think it's feasible um to move ahead with the 112 AMER road
building and if so where the major cost areas will be. >> Their cost projections were going to be very cursory at this point. But there's a couple of very big issues to look at. The elevator um this potential sprinkler
need for a sprinkler system. Those two each run hundreds of thousands of dollars. Um, so I think those two issues will probably have the greatest impact on figuring out if the site is viable. >> Okay. >> Yeah.
>> So any renovations will be the responsibility of the senior center. What they're talking about is currently the discussion is with Delta Sand and Gravel that they would do renovations
um that would meet the needs of the senior centers prior to and you know prior to their moving in but it would be dependent on the lease impact the I'm sorry the the
cost of the lease impact of those that's what would be evaluated by the town. So Warner Brother I'm sorry Delta Sand and Gravel owns the building. >> Mhm. >> They will consider making the improvements that are being requested.
>> You let me know when >> good catch. So they will make um a present, you know, they will decide how much it would cost the town, you know, so they'll figure out how much it
would cost them to make the improvements, translate that into a lease. There's a group of people that are calling the lease group about three people that will be taking in all the factors once they have the information. one is um a commercial realtor and just
trying to get um a handle on how much that lease would cost the towns. >> So there would be a sense for the towns sooner than January of whether this is some still a viable project. >> Wonderful. That'd be great. Yeah.
>> Mhm. >> I had a visit today. I mean I had a good look at the building today. There's obviously the elevator is a little narrow, but there's there's good space, a good it's good building. It's a little you get access on two floors, no ADA access, but the the elevator's issue. The second floor is obviously the most
open, but the only way to get there is stairs or the elevator. There's no direct access from outside. So, it's things to consider. I'm looking forward to hearing what they have to say. And uh we'll see what we have. And uh >> I haven't paid a whole lot of attention to the building itself. Um but I know
that it's on a hill. Would there be a possibility of adding a second entrance that's like parking that's another half level up? >> Well, they have it they have first the first first floor and the back. So, they have the two. It's just the one floor up top. You can't get >> Okay. So, >> so there's two floors that are
accessible, right? >> Okay. I was thinking >> they have a like a a drop off, you know, a loading dock in the back. Okay. And they're hoping to create a kitchen down there >> in the basement >> in on the the basement floor, lower the lower floor that would be in the, you
know, service to >> the first floor dining area. >> And they're looking basically they're looking, there's some columns you can see, but they're looking at what they can do with the walls and opening things up where they need to and stuff like that. But, uh, the building's pretty sound. >> Wonderful. >> Um, so we'll see. I'll be real curious
to see what they have to say and how that compares to what we're looking at for new buildings, you know? Right. which was >> and then there >> then uh a vote was taken at the last um coun senior center council on aging.
They voted to also do a feasibility on the what's the Deerfield Town Hall that is currently in use that will soon be abandoned for the 1888
building. Okay. >> So, the um you missed that vote. >> Yep. >> Um but it what came up was that Deerfield already had asked for that.
And so that being the case, the conversation was we need this information. [Music] I have to run this call. I apologize. >> Please do. Thank you. >> Oh, I could take it too. >> Hello. Hey Becky, it's Michael. I'm sorry, Mr.
Paul. >> Hi. Um, no problem. Um, we're gonna be getting to that agenda item shortly. Could you hold on just a minute or two? >> Absolutely. >> Okay. And then we can >> wonderful.
All right. Um, thanks for the update. Sounds like um we are going to have the on Wednesday we'll have the the meeting with where the >> the brass tax is discussed. Y >> um so I'll be looking forward to hearing after that what the um what the impact's
going to be on the the towns and the lease and whatnot. >> And there's also a push um by the Deerfield finance committee. They want to get all the towns together to have conversations on shared services which kind of impacts the senior center
too >> which would be good to have in general too. >> Sure. Okay. >> All right. All right. Any other any other discussion on that or is everybody happy with that one? >> I haven't. >> All right. All right. We have a couple more minutes until 6:45. So, we'll do
one more item. Um, and that is the review of the FCAT lease. Um, now my understanding, and please correct me if I'm wrong, um, we have a, is it a four-year lease? Fiveyear lease, a five-year lease with them, um, for use of our building that is, um, you know, funded by all the towns that are
involved in the process >> and the federal government. >> And the federal government, thank you very much, fellow government. Um and my understanding is that um in review of the documentation we have discovered that the last lease that we have on record for them for our end of things um was for the period ending in 2022.
>> Correct. >> So um the >> I'm sorry that no this lease ended um June 30th of 25. It's the other agreement that ended in 2022.
>> Gotcha. Gotcha. My apolog >> that we will review at the next select board meeting. >> Okay. So, this is just a renewal of the of the lease as >> that should have occurred back July 1st or in June. >> Okay. All right. That's a simpler
discussion then. Wonderful. Um is there any questions on the board on the lease? The lease is is effectively an extension of the previous lease. Is that correct? with no change in >> absolutely no changes and I verified that the amendment made prior was in
there. Okay. >> That was made in 2017. >> No change in fee exactly the same. >> So and not to sound not to sound blunt about it but do we want to discuss a cost of living cost of expenses increase on that especially because the cost of
like electricity the fuel everything to keep the building. I think they they are already build the uh the percentage of the electric. So increases in utilities are captured on an ongoing basis. >> Okay,
>> that answers my question. Perfect. >> Just want to make sure that we're not subsidizing them more and more as time goes on. Right. >> I'm happy to subsidize them the same amount as time goes on. Just want to make sure that it's, you know, >> more to the point. I want to make sure that if there is an increasing cost that it's being sh fairly shared between all
of the stakeholders um involved, but it sounds like those those costs are being shared um and the actual rent of the building isn't, you know, it doesn't change. So, okay, that was my only concern. Um any other questions or concerns from the board? >> No. All right. At this time, I'd
entertain a motion to uh sign the lease extension. I motion we extend the lease for FCAP. >> Second. >> All right. We have a motion made and seconded. All those in favor? >> I. >> I. Three nothing. Wonderful. Thank you
very much. And we will address the other part of that next time. All right. It is 6:43. Call that close enough. We can get started. Um, so we have uh Michael, our lawyer on the line. >> Hi, Michael. Are you there? >> I am Becky. I'm sorry uh I didn't get
the earlier call. I I only had my uh cell phone on me. So, I'm calling from my cell phone and not the work line. I hope uh you can hear me clearly. >> Y >> we can. >> All right. Well, um thank you and hello to you and to members of the board.
>> Oh, >> hello. Um should I just >> Yeah. So, because it's a Well, no. Because it's a public meeting, we have to let that >> the public know my Yeah. >> Yeah. So yeah, just a general
>> why don't you why don't you get your answer on the specific question and then we'll get started with the whole thing. >> Okay, does that work? >> Um yes, Michael, one question that came up um as we were talking about um the latest round of
policies we received. I is part of the action that could be taken by the select board is shutting down the restaurant. So I right now what is before the board is solely related to the liquor license
under the liquor control act. And if the board wanted to revoke the common vigular license, I think there may be cause to do that because uh you know the common vigular license requires that you
be in compliance with all rules and regulations of the town. Uh but generally you would only act uh and this is the only thing that we've noticed on the agenda. You would only act under uh under the liquor control act would only
impact the liquor license. So should the board want to revisit the other licenses based on the license holders failure to comply with the liquor control act that could in my opinion be on a future agenda. tonight. However, I think the
open meeting law would limit you to the liquor control act and the liquor license. >> That makes perfect sense. Great. >> Thank you very much, Michael. We appreciate it. >> Thank you so much. >> Uh, we have a follow-up question. >> I'm just debate I'm just trying to
enforcement of that. How do we go about enforcing that if we depending on our discussion and what we decide, how do we enforce that he is not, you know, that he's
complying? I guess >> it's a great question, Crystal, and the Liquor Control Act leaves a lot of discretion to you as the local licensing authority. And so what uh the Liquor
Control Act says in section 12 is that proof of insurance by a company licensed to transact insurance in the Commonwealth has to be provided to you in a form that is acceptable by you. And
so that in my opinion leaves you discretion to determine what is acceptable. I would say in my experience that at minimum that is a certificate of insurance. Typically the the first page of a policy uh that evidences that a
premium has been paid and insurance is in effect between date X and date Y at a particular address. Uh to my knowledge that has not been provided so far. We've received
probably over a 100 pages of materials. Um, and in our review, it does not appear that any of those are liquor liability insurance policies issued by an insurance company licensed in
Massachusetts. Uh and so because of that, in my view, uh the section 64B of the liquor control act obligates the board to either suspend or revoke the license at your discretion. And what I
would say is it's your discretion, should you choose to suspend the license, what that proof of insurance looks like. It could be just as in all other cases just a copy of the one-page form. U it could be that
you are requiring uh Mr. Garlo to uh certify on a quarterly basis that he hasn't cancelled his insurance. There are different paths forward that you can take that I I think the specifics are within the board's control. Uh the only
requirement is that if he has not provided acceptable insurance by the time of the meeting, you have to either suspend or revoke. >> Right? So depending on which path we take or you know what we decide
can this be something that says you know that says again because we have to still discuss this but could we say all alcohol whatever has to be removed from the premises within 24 hours something
like that. My concern is how do we enforce this? You know, whether you know, we don't know which path we're going to take cuz we haven't had that discussion, but you know, just
saying you can't sell it. So, he will have to physically give the liquor license back to you. So the t the the usual enforcement mechanism and and I I'll readily admit that you know I I don't know how often this dissuades
people but it is what the law provides which is that when a license is revoked it's physically removed from the premises and the liquor control act provides that no uh liquor can be offered for sale on or off premises without a license conspicuously
displayed. And so the enforcement mechanism here is really once that license is no longer on the pre premises because you've either suspended or revoked it, uh if he does uh have a liquor sale in violation of the liquor
control act, it gets reported to the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission, which then will issue fines and begin uh enforcement proceedings. they have the power uh to both civily and criminally charge individuals who are selling
liquor without a license. Um but from the town's perspective generally all you do is return you you retrieve the paper license and then you forward anything to the state that comes up. Of course, if
he does sell liquor without a license in violation of the act, that can be used as evidence to pull back his other licenses. Right. He has a license uh a catering license. He has a common Vic license. There's a I
think a fourth license that's active at the >> True Bucks. >> Yep. >> Yeah. Thank you. So, so that can be used as evidence to revoke those other licenses which are typically conditioned on complying with the general laws. Um, but in in terms of enforcement, it's not
usually cities and towns that uh do anything more than getting the physical license out of the premises and back into town hall. Um, >> okay. >> The enforcement would come from the ADCC if he sold liquor after the license had
been removed. Okay, thank you. >> Perfect. Thank you so much. Any other questions from the board for Michael before we let him go? >> Um, no. I'm just I'm just curious how much a license like this cost or insurance like this cost. Just the question I >> It's a Oh, I'll let you go.
>> Oh, I was just going to say I think the the check in January was about $4,100. And >> that's for the year. >> Yeah, that was an annual, but Okay. >> Um, it didn't Yeah. Okay. >> It didn't work out. >> Y
>> Dan, it's a good question and that that sounds about right to be. Becky, I I've seen these up to 10,000 in um larger cities where, you know, you have more transactions on a calendar year basis, which is often how they price this. So, you know, that number in the low to mid
thousands would sound generally to me what it would be. >> Okay, perfect. >> Thank you. >> Thank you so much for your help. >> Thank you, Michael. Thank you. Thank you all and good luck with your deliberations. I I'll just note that uh and Becky, as I had mentioned, whichever
decision you decide, um you know, we'll need to notify the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission. We we have a draft letter that, you know, can be sent out to that effect. Um and there is an appeal that Mr. Garlo could make within 5 days to the ABCC. So, okay,
>> just so you know that that that is a possibility for him. um you know, should you have any basis to appeal, which uh at the moment we we don't see. >> Okay. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. Bye-bye. >> Good luck with your meeting. >> Thank you. >> Thank you.
>> All right. So, we're going to kind of work our way backwards from there to what we're actually talking about because if anyone's watching this right now, they're probably kind of confused. Um so what we are discussing tonight is um a local establishment Bubs Barbecue um has as many years they in the past have um came to us last year for renewal
of their liquor license. Um part of that liquor license is a requirement that they provide us proof of insurance for specifically liquor liability insurance um which was provided to us in January. Um and then over the summer um recently
we were informed by is it the ABCC or some state organization that they're >> actually Mel knows exactly? Mel, did you want to answer that? Um I believe it we got we received a letter that triggered the question. I
think it was I can't remember who the letter was from. Anyways, it was it was from a governing body to us informing us that the the insurance policy in question had been cancelled for non-payment. Um, and so what that triggered on our end is, excuse me, the
town reached out through mail, is my understanding, to the owner to inform him of that he is in violation of the liquor law um and asking him to provide proof of current liquor liability insurance. um which to date we have yet to get what the law states is
satisfactory um valid insurance uh in the state of Massachusetts. >> Yes. >> Um so pursuant to that um we in >> Okay. Sorry. Can you guys hear me? >> Yep. >> Hey Mel. >> Hi. So I got
a letter from a new insurance saying that his workman's comp has had been renewed. Looking back on what he provided for his license renewal, it stated that okay, it was going to it needed to be renewed September 1st. So
I'm like, okay, perfect. It's he has his workman's been renewed. Perfect. Um, but then I noticed like it was a different insurance. It was different policies. So then I called the old insurance which had all three, the
liquor, the general liability and the work finished comp. And they said no. Um that the liability and the liquor license had both been um cancelled for nonformal payment in January. So there
was never So what he gave me on December 31st was just like, hey, here it is. but his check bounced and then the um policies were cancelled in December. >> Great. Thank you for the Thank you for that clarification. That helps.
>> So, it it was the other insurance company just notifying the town about the workman's comp and that just, you know, when she looked at it, it was like, well, wait a second. >> Where's the other ones? Yeah, exactly. >> He does have general liability.
I don't think >> I don't believe I don't believe he does because when I called the new insurance that was given to me in August stating that his workman comp has been renewed it was only workman cop policy no
general no liquor and I don't know what he said most recently but neither one of those were on there a general or a liquor >> so pursuant to what Michael was saying it Sounds like we should probably have on the next week's agenda discussion
about the the common VIC license >> because of the >> because of a the general insurance, but also just in general because maintaining those licensers are contingent on following the town's rules. And if we feel like he is not following the town's rules, that license
is then >> no good. >> Exactly. Um so sounds like we're going to need to put that on for 2 weeks from now. Um but to the alcohol license for tonight, um because we have yet to receive notice of valid insurance for
the alcohol liability, what the law prescribes is for us to either revoke or cancel his insurance policy. Um so one would be a more temporary suspend revoke or cancel or the same. >> Yeah. Sorry. >> No, no. I so one one would be a
temporary thing until he provides whatever >> prove that he has fixed the situation. >> The other is it doesn't exist anymore. If you want it back, you have to come and apply for it again. >> Yeah. He has to start over. It's a much lengthier process and it's at the discretion of the board.
>> Yeah. Um which brings us to So, and please feel free to jump in, but I I feel like we're a place where the facts are not in dispute. We we know we don't have the policy we need. The law says to do this. The real only question for the board is which of the two paths do we want to take? Do we want to suspend or
revoke the license? Well, my first thought here is if we're going to have to meet again in two weeks regarding this, I say suspend it for the two weeks and
make a full decision in the two weeks when we know about the li the general liability everything >> and then that discuss question is for the totality of his the future of
totality of all of his licenses. >> And and so if if nothing more is done than has happened to date, he will not um h qualify for a common VIC because he
won't have insurance. He doesn't have if he does not have general liability insurance and that would be yeah lean closure. Can I interrupt you and just say something, please? >> I'm sorry. >> Yeah, please. >> Yes.
>> I just I'm sorry. I just want to let you know that October 1st is when all the new licenses are being sorry. >> I'm bailing out all of the license renewal tax kits to all the businesses.
His is included. >> Yeah. So as of October 1st, I have time to get it all together for the 2026. >> So we meet after that date, right? >> We meet on the >> right. But that's just sending them out
to provide information. That's not sending them out, right? So they're getting >> it >> the packet, >> correct? Is it? Yeah. This is the saying, okay, now is the time to get your money together, get your insurancees together, this and the
other. What are you renewing? >> Right. >> Yeah. So, that shouldn't really matter whether he gets that packet or not because that doesn't mean anything is effective by receipt of that packet to provide,
>> right? It's only if he completely fulfills the information, the packet and gets everything that >> then we >> I I think you could argue might want to hold the packet until >> but tonight we want to talk about whether we suspend or revoke >> right
>> the liquor license. Yes, we can definitely say that. The only the only thing I'd add is there a process by which the common vict that's just the town thing, right? Or is there a process by which we'd have to have >> a town thing? It's it's a license that's given by the select board. >> Okay. So, we don't have to like if we say two weeks, two weeks is fine. We
don't have we don't have to go through a process or write a certified letter or anything. >> We can just call him. >> I don't know. >> He would need to be notified. >> Yeah. He would probably need to be noticed again about the meeting that we're going to hold the discussion that I'll try to get out. Right. Okay. >> Tomorrow, Wednesday.
>> Okay. All right. So, back to the discussion at hand. Um, I kind of am in the same boat as as Crystal here in that we we suspend it today so that it's it doesn't it's not effective anymore. That's that's the number one thing I think we're all in agreement for is that because he's non-compliance, we need to
do something today that removes his ability to sell alcohol. >> Um, and then in two weeks we will make a decision about whether that's a indefinite suspension or a revion. Thank you. Um or hopefully he gets his stuff together
between now and then and comes in with all the documentation he needs in two weeks and we're able to work with him and that would be it's sort of an ideal situation. >> Yeah. >> And hopefully he would have taken the common Vic license and made sure he has a the commercial. >> Yeah. By then we'll know for sure on the on the on his general liability
insurance and all the other things. Um so I that's where I'm standing. Dan, are you >> No, I agree with that. >> Okay. So let's hold a vote on that then. Um, so at this time I would entertain a motion to suspend Bub's Barbecue's uh alcohol license.
So, I motion we suspend Bubs Bub's Barbecue alcohol licensing for for two weeks or how about we say until
October 7th pending >> October 3rd. >> Is that right? >> I think it was >> right. So that's why I'm saying the seventh. So I'm sorry.
>> I don't know what I would say just suspended because then if we don't meet for some reason he doesn't all of a sudden get to start again. It's just suspended until further notice and then we can >> modify or change that. >> All right. >> Yeah. And he actually if he were to make it right
like next week he would he could do that. A suspension can be made right if he >> Yeah. We still have to vote to lift the suspension at the next meeting, but he would if he between now and then if he got his stuff together. >> So no matter what he
>> it's two weeks. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Even if he paid it tomorrow, he can't resume until >> until we've met to review the documentation and approve that. >> Yeah. Because it'll be suspended until the suspension's either lifted or
>> Right. Right. Okay. >> Yep. So, I motion we suspend the liquor license for Bub's Barbecue. >> Second. >> All right, we have a motion made and seconded to suspend the liquor license. All in favor? >> I I >> I three nothing. >> All right, so we will um send him a
notice that his liquor license has been suspended and also that in two weeks we will be discussing his general vic license. Um and >> I will be in communication with um the attorney because I have to notify ABCC.
>> Yes. >> Of the suspension. >> Beautiful. Please do so. >> Do that correctly. >> You talk about physically removing it. What does that what does that entail? >> Taking the license from That's why I have to call and see if I get to do it. >> Okay. >> Or if I go with Yeah, we'll find out who
does that. Yeah, >> it might be you. We'll >> be All right. Um, sounds like we have a good plan path forward on that. Um, and we will meet again in two weeks to um, make the final determination on the future of the license as well as the
common VIC license as well. All right. Any other last comments on that one before we move on? Wonderful. All right. Um, last up is our easiest one at all of all is to discuss the fall select board schedule um, for our meetings. My understanding is last time we said we
were going to meet today, meet in two weeks on the 6th, and then at that point we're back to weekly meetings for the foreseeable future. Is that still what we want to do? >> I have one thought. >> Okay. um
if it would be possible to not go back to every meeting until like the 20th of October. I have um because I have some medical issues. >> That that would be helpful.
>> So is the 13th indigenous? >> Yes. Uh not Columbus Day. >> It's a holiday anyway. So it's a holiday. >> It's a holiday anyway. So we could if we just skip that one would be very helpful. >> And then the 20th
>> and then the 27th. >> Yes. >> Okay. So So the 13th is the one that we are. That's fine with me. >> And that's a holiday. >> Yeah. And it's a holiday. So we'd have to meet on Tuesday and >> No, I say less. >> All right. Um do we need a vote on that
or is that just sort of a we >> Okay. So, um, our next meeting, since I have to announce it in about 3 seconds anyways, um, will be on October 6th, followed by October 20th, and then back to weekly at that point. Okay. >> Um, that being said, um, I don't I don't
see any old business. U, next up is select updates. I don't have anything this week. Crystal, do you have anything? >> I don't have anything. >> I mentioned the visit to the building, so I'm all set. >> Wonderful. It is like 400 degrees in here, so we're going to try to slide through this. Um, next up is uh, town administrator updates. Becky. >> Um,
we have had some um one second. Okay. I'm working on a project with our um bylaw here. I'm sorry.
Um our marijuana situation. Um, we had a notice from the CCC, which is the Cannabis Control Commission, and at first I thought there was a problem with our new agreement. Um, but it has to do
with it's not with our new agreement. It was the way we filed some original paperwork. So, they have given me 30 days to um to solve the situation. I've been in contact with um the our KP law
attorney who handled um the agreement and she is helping me navigate um the website because it when we filed there was an erroneous um drop- down menu that said that you would do
onetoone um negotiating and it doesn't make any sense. It appears that that we had selected that option and I have to go back and undo it. Um, and we think that might correct the situation with AB. Um, I'm sorry,
with CCC, not ABC. Um, and hopefully that does it. And if not, we will be reviewing our um our policies and having to rewrite some of them um with new language to make them acceptable to the
Cannabis Control Commission. So that it it might be solved quickly or it might take more work. Okay. >> Is that holding up their opening that >> not from what I understand? We did check and they have not gotten their full license yet.
>> Okay. Um, I will reach out to them, find out how, you know, if they're running into any problems and make sure it's not our problem. I >> I seem to remember hearing October something being the last time that they were the their proposed opening. So,
we're getting close to that. So, if you don't mind just checking in. >> Yeah, they had said September or October. So, I was and I saw cars there in September. >> Yeah. >> So, I don't know. >> It's looking like it's getting close to being ready. So, if you don't mind checking, be >> Oh, I'd be happy to. and um and I'll
continue on with the with the agreement with CCC. >> Wonderful. >> And that's what I have for today. >> There was something I had asked you to bring up when we were downstairs. >> Yes. >> I don't remember what it was. >> Um the other thing I I'll stall use my
stall tactic and talk about we had um the veterans memorial unfortunately was vandalized last night. Um which is a very sad thing. Luckily, the damage is not um permanent in any way. Wax candles
were used uh to write um swear words on on different parts of this the seating and the grounds. There was a fire started um but luckily no permanent damage.
>> And I remember what it was. Um it was in regards to the opioid settlements. um we were going to do take a quick vote to authorize myself and you to um >> deal with sign off on on the most recent one um because it has a deadline between
