>> really. We didn't meet that long. >> No, we really didn't. >> Uh, so no review, planning, zoning, referral notices. No. Okay. Any topics not anticipated by
the chair? I I already asked about that. All right. All right. Overlay comp. >> Okay. Well, only reason I'm bringing that up is the town administrator had asked me to lower what I wanted for overlay.
>> Um because they're trying to get money wherever they can, I guess. Um, and I had reviewed it and I don't I wasn't comfortable going low because we just voted in that new Heroes Act, right? Which doubles the amount of veterans exemptions and we right now pay out almost 85,000 in veterans exemption. So,
it's going to be double that plus the cost of living. >> Yeah. >> Um, >> and we've got veterans, >> right? And we've gotten more in the meantime. So, I had wanted to go with 205 205. Normally, we do like 130 120. And um and then I thought about I'm
like, well, we do have a little bit of a we do have a little bit of o, you know, excess that maybe I could go a little lower. So I mentioned it to the town and she said, "No." >> So I just just So she's like she said they um we have
enough of a of um you know excess levy limit right now. So it doesn't make any sense for us to not go with our regular amount and and worry about being short. >> Okay. It's out of our heat. Yes. I think they're making it up with the donations for the color machine over there. Oh,

>> Yeah. >> I'm sorry. Can you say that other part again? >> So if you look at the bottom and you see meaning, it says 0.958. >> Yeah. >> And we like to come in around 94 96. So that's good. >> Okay. >> Yeah. That's perfect. And then the
condos came in about almost 0.94 and every because every other every other class has to be within 5% of the single family homes. So if we come in at 95 on the single family homes, the lowest we could go on any other class is 90 and the highest we could go is 100.
>> Yeah. >> We have three pages of single family. What's >> that is the nine or that's the >> that's condos >> and that's >> that's single family. >> Uh the last page is um wait no what did
