Part: 1

1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:18.160
We have a not an appointment but a hearing I guess I'll call it for a request for a wedding at the Nubble on June 28th. Uh I believe Lisa and I guess their sons are here. Uh did you guys get the email

2
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:41.920
from >> I did. Yeah. From Dana. Yeah. >> Okay. If you want to come up to the >> these seats here and so the request is you just want to hold the wedding at the beach obviously for and you only need two cars now you

3
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:57.600
>> yeah there's only like how many is going to be at the beach? >> 15. >> It's going to be like 50 people. So, if we have to squeeze in two cars, we'll squeeze in. >> Well, well, just tell us how many cars you want to do it. I don't want you to see people strap the trunk of a car or anything like that. I mean,

4
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:13.200
>> if anything, if it's like three, four the most. >> Okay, we'll say four cars. >> Okay. >> You don't know what the weather's going to be like. Like I told you, >> where at the Nubble are where >> So, we were looking to do it like I know

5
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:28.960
we seen like exactly like the nubble like the big rock. >> Yeah. the beach on like the right. We were looking to like do it around. >> Okay. So, just to the right of the the >> So, so well, just so you know, uh the the town there is a town beach.

6
00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:45.920
>> Mhm. >> Or or wait, let me wait start at the beginning. Uh the first part of the road is uh about half of the length of the road is 40 is a 40 foot wide rightway and that is where parking is allowed for

7
00:01:45.920 --> 00:02:01.920
cars that with town stickers or whatever they use these days. And then it narrows to 30 ft. And then there you'll see there are wooden railings sort of on each side >> and that goes all the way down to the

8
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:19.440
end. And there are two handicap spaces marked at the end. And then there's the rock. >> Yeah. >> But the town beach is back. Not very u And I think there's little sign at the town beach. But there's a but and that's

9
00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:36.640
only 100 ft wide. Every all the property beyond that is a land trust property. And no, the land trust does not limit any access to its own property. So that

10
00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:52.560
if you wanted to go beyond the road onto the beach, I don't think you'd have any problem if for that number of people. You're just you're But technically you're on land trust property. >> Okay. >> Which is not a shouldn't be a problem for them.

11
00:02:52.560 --> 00:03:08.879
>> Okay. But you you don't have stickers on your cars though, right? >> No, but I'll get one. >> Okay. would you know on all four on all four cars? I'm saying you only have one. >> No, we won't have one. >> Okay. So, the option would be to give them a pass. >> A pass so that they don't get ticketed

12
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:25.760
for that particular day. >> One day pass. >> Yeah. One day pass for between and timewise. I know that you said the weddings at 4:30. >> Yeah. So, what what do you think you'll be there? How long? >> Give yourself enough time to >> Yeah, it's going to be around Yeah, we're still deciding either 4:30 or 5.

13
00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:40.879
>> Okay. Okay. >> So, do you want to say like 4 to 4 to 7 >> with pictures and everything? >> You've got pictures, you've got people showing up late, you got all that good stuff that I honestly I would say nothing past like 6:30. >> Yeah. I would say 4 to >> It's just the ceremony. >> Yeah.

14
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:56.159
>> Yeah. So, the ceremony is going to be about like 20 minutes, you know, nothing crazy. Um, and then we'll do family pictures on, you know, the beach >> and then it'll just be me and my fiance. We'll just take some pictures on the beach along and then Great. >> Pretty much it. So, how does that work?

15
00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:12.159
Do you get their license plates or >> Yeah. What what we what we would need you to do is give us the license plates and we make up a pass uh to put in your windshield so that you don't get ticketed by the police uh on that

16
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:27.360
particular day. Uh just whatever license plate you think you're going to use just so it go so it'll be on the pass. So basically be you need half by 11 paper that says you know one day pass for and whatever the license plate is. Uh >> okay >> and everything for

17
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:42.720
>> So in the past have they directly sent that email to the town clerk >> or they can send it to you or the beach committee website or >> I uh you you did the original request through the beach email. I whatever they

18
00:04:42.720 --> 00:05:00.160
gave me here, I called and they said to >> email. That's the only way that we could like have communication. >> So then I got to email back. >> Yeah. So if you send it to the beach email again, I think that's what you sent it to. Then I'll make sure to forward it to the town clerk.

19
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:14.960
>> Okay. Okay. >> With and you want me to put the license plate you want in. Okay. >> And probably the year making model of the car. So, if you're going to already pursue a sticker for yourself, for your own car, just give me the three cars that would need it. >> Okay. >> Okay.

20
00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:30.320
>> Okay. Okay. >> And we are working on an application for the use of each property, but we're not quite there yet. So, >> all right. >> Yeah. >> So, yeah. So, uh, anybody have any questions, concerns, issues? It's going

21
00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:45.600
to be at 4:30 in the afternoon. There was >> no issues. I'll entertain a motion. Then >> I move to grant a temporary parking pass for an event on whatever June >> June 28th.

22
00:05:45.600 --> 00:06:00.800
>> 28th >> u second. >> That's all. >> All in favor? >> I >> I good to go. >> All right. Congratulations. >> Congratulations. >> I do have one question. So on that road, where should we park? There is a there's

23
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:16.880
designated parking on the left side of the road as you drive down >> and it and it goes up to about 600 feet down. There's a sign says no parking beyond this point. >> Yeah. Okay. I just visited it so I know I know where that is. >> Yeah. Well, I mean you you'd be able to take people all the way to the end and

24
00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:33.840
leave them off. True. in and then back and if somebody happens to have a handicap pass, they could park there >> and I'd be a little but I I don't think that would be very aesthetic, >> you know. I I'd be very cautious about driving

25
00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:49.280
past that point anyway because sometimes there's a lot of sand and if we had a lot of rain, there's going to be a giant puddle. So you >> Yeah, it's been it's been it's been pretty good this season. >> Yeah. So far, but >> you shouldn't have a problem. Just >> when you get down to the end and you have to and try to turn around, you have to be careful. >> What day is this for again? June 22nd.

26
00:06:49.280 --> 00:07:05.280
>> June 28th. >> 28. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> That's great. Yeah. >> Thank you guys. >> Congratulations. >> Great. Yeah. >> His fiance will be very happy all these beaches and like I really like this. I'm

27
00:07:05.280 --> 00:07:25.759
like I don't know what that entails. So >> super you guys. >> Thank you. >> All right. Congratulations to you guys. >> Hi. >> Sean said he'll be right back, but I would imagine we're going to hear from the uh lifeguard.

28
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:42.000
>> I mean, I can just get started. >> Yeah. >> All right. Uh >> we can wait, you know, for him or >> see you guys again. >> Yeah. >> Um kind of just getting prepared and ready for the beach season. Uh we have a pre-ervice training uh June 6th. Um >> what does that entail? that entails just

29
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:59.440
pretty much going over the PowerPoint that um and then um basically going over the EAP lifeguard manual and uh doing a couple drills going down to the beach doing some drills. >> So we held this for the first time last year. It was a great success. Um, we

30
00:07:59.440 --> 00:08:16.000
prepared a PowerPoint that Mikey has adjusted um to, you know, add or or change some things for this year. And, um, uh, so it's basically the time for all the guards to get their packets of information, which I print out and

31
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:33.279
prepare for them. Um, and I'm there to at the one where everyone's >> except for a couple are in attendance. >> Um, >> and then Mike, you'll run the PowerPoint presentation. Now, the majority of the guards have gone through this last year, so we can adjust as needed. Um, but um

32
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:49.760
after that, then he takes them to the beach to do drills and um kind of, you know, point out different things. >> That's great. >> Uh yeah. And and so then I take pictures with that, too. And last year I posted pictures on Facebook which showed the

33
00:08:49.760 --> 00:09:04.959
public that we are preparing for our season and our guards are ready. >> That's cool. Yeah. I was down there a couple of mornings and you guys were training. Yeah, >> it was pretty great. >> Yeah, absolutely. So, >> and you said it was June 6th. >> June uh June 6th. Yep. Saturday. >> What time? >> 9:00.

34
00:09:04.959 --> 00:09:21.040
>> And all 13 guard? >> No, because a couple guards are doing makeup makeup pres-ervice trainings because they're not going to be able to attend. >> So, uh it will be um 10 of them. >> But are all the new There's only one new guard. >> Yeah, he he'll be there. >> That's the That's the important one.

35
00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:37.600
>> Yeah. And there's 12 guards total this season. And then um I talked to Jamie um from the uh Lloyd Center uh you know about the piping flows and stuff because there's a bunch of a bunch of fencing down there right now uh because the lifeguard stands were moved on Wednesday

36
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:54.560
>> to their proper locations. Um you know he he's seems like going to be a start of a good thing and uh he's uh he's um going to be uh >> you know a a great asset I think. So, >> so, so also to add to that, um, uh, as

37
00:09:54.560 --> 00:10:12.000
part of the law, you know, they have to give guidance whenever there's large machinery or, um, large trucks and things like that that might have to go on the beach. So, I notified the highway department, the board of health, the

38
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:28.000
planning board, Mikey, um, and you know, everyone I could about that and gave them Jamie's cell phone and email so that they all know if something comes up where you have to do that, they are supposed to call him and he will come over and monitor. So, when it was time

39
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:45.200
to put out the um, lifeguard stand, we did that and he was there and so that was great. >> Now, how about with the truck coming up and down the path? Did he get I don't >> Yeah, so basically uh he said basically just kind of do the same thing that we've been doing. Have a spotter stuff like that. Um whenever driving on the

40
00:10:45.200 --> 00:11:01.519
beach um what else did he say? Oh, he is we we're going to have a couple of uh meetings with him. He's going to come down when I have, you know, when we're working to kind of just have like just to go over different protocols and stuff. Um yeah, he said just to make sure they have a spotter and uh kind of

41
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:17.040
continue what's going on, what we've been doing. Um what else is there? Um, that's pretty much all I have for that aspect. Yep. >> Yeah. So, the the the chairs are out there, right? >> Yep. Chairs are out there. Um, and then the truck's going to be done one to two weeks, I guess. So, that's that'll be

42
00:11:17.040 --> 00:11:32.800
good. That would be great. So, >> I and I'm sending Chris hopefully next week. I'm going to send Chris >> uh if he has time to clear the path one more time because it is sanded in a little bit. >> Yep. >> So, we have to coordinate with I already talked to conservation and I want to

43
00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:48.480
coordinate with Jamie to get out there to do that. um to make sure that's okay. >> And uh I've reached out to them. Dana has reached out to them as well. Um I don't know what's the warranty on the Gator just to do another oil change at the beginning of the year. >> So I asked at um Austin at the highway

44
00:11:48.480 --> 00:12:02.640
department about that and I did want to bring that up. Um so who purchased the Gator? >> We did. >> So who has all the warranty paperwork and stuff? From what I can remember, and don't hold

45
00:12:02.640 --> 00:12:19.839
me to this, I thought Paula had it. Uh, and I don't know where it was. I thought she had all the information. >> Okay. She's on vacation. I'll try and connect with her when she gets >> I'm not 100% sure she still has I'm not sure she I know it was coordinated through her because when they dropped it

46
00:12:19.839 --> 00:12:37.680
off, but if you call the manufactur uh manufacturer the sales rep in Rainom uh and I can get get you his name, he'll can set up everything uh as far as the oil change and everything and schedule it if >> Well, Austin said that John Deere United

47
00:12:37.680 --> 00:12:54.560
AJ and Turf came out last year for its annual maintenance, But but I looked at he sent me the invoices. It was June 2025. >> Yeah. >> That they did it. So before the beach season, >> right? >> And they used one of their garage bays there at the highway department um to

48
00:12:54.560 --> 00:13:11.440
service it. So he's assuming that it might still be under warranty um and maybe even has a maintenance plan in place, but I was involved in any of this. >> No, we didn't have we did not have a maintenance plan. Okay. Uh, so we have

49
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:28.160
to pay for any oil change. You know, it's out in suspense. It's a from the beach committee. Uh, I don't know how many hours were put on it last year. >> I think it was around I got to think about this. 50 to 80 I think because I think it's at 110 111 hours now.

50
00:13:28.160 --> 00:13:44.160
>> It's not a lot of hours. >> No, it's not. But every year it's kind of good to do that. And then >> No, it is. So it may be a minor a lot a minor tuneup basically as opposed to, you know, major work. So, >> so how would you like to proceed? >> Uh, I I will get you the contact

51
00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:59.279
information for turf man and and we can just schedule the guy to come out here. You we don't necessarily have to go through the highway department if they they want to take care of that. And >> I don't know where the gator stored or anything. >> Gator's in the uh >> it's in the garage right here. >> Garage right there.

52
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:15.519
>> I don't have a key to that. >> I don't either. So, uh I believe I can think I think I used to get the key from Paula actually. So I I don't know if Carla has it now or >> Okay. >> But uh >> or if either of them have it. I'm not sure, but someone has it. So the highway

53
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:31.199
department must have one. I know the police >> Mhm. >> go in there all the time. So the police must have it anyway. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Great. >> That's it. So we're ready to go. Everything's good. Uh I know we had a

54
00:14:31.199 --> 00:14:47.680
few items about uh that did not come in from or we couldn't find from the purchasing equipment. >> So I I can chat with you about that. So I was able to purchase all of the Amazon items, but I'm still waiting on all the sizes from the guards. I created a

55
00:14:47.680 --> 00:15:03.680
Google sheet to have because I was getting random emails and some were leaving off certain sizes of different items and you know they have to get me their license plates too so we can get them their beach parking passes. It's just been a mess. So, um, I created a Google sheet that all they have to do is go to that link and fill it in to the

56
00:15:03.680 --> 00:15:19.680
sheet. So, that was working today. I saw people going. Yeah. >> Um, so hopefully by next week I'll have most of that done. Um, and then I can purchase um the shirts. >> Um, everything else on the list that

57
00:15:19.680 --> 00:15:36.320
does not come from Amazon. And there's one, two, three, four. Anything critical? I suppose >> five. There's five different websites that you referenced. >> Yeah. What do we need that's critical? I mean that we really have to have

58
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:50.160
everything or >> Yeah. All those things that are >> I have no way of purchasing it because I don't have a credit card. So So I consulted with the town administrator today. Um he suggested that

59
00:15:50.160 --> 00:16:06.320
I go on the state bin list combis. It's C O M B Us. You can just Google it, he said. >> And there's a statewide contractor user guide there. And you have to look up

60
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:24.639
what items are available under that because then you can just order and be invoiced. >> So you have the you have the uh websites and the item you need from that website. >> Correct. I just don't have a credit card. Um, now the other route is

61
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:40.480
possibly using the town credit card from Sue in the um, treasures department, but there's a limit on that credit card. It's not a big limit. Chris said, >> is safety equipment? >> Some of it. Yeah. >> Didn't we get it in Rhode Island last >> Yeah, that's right. So,

62
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:55.920
>> so Nicole ordered stuff last year. I don't have any of that info of how she did it. >> I picked it up and brought it all in my truck. That's why I was telling you they said place in Middletown that has all the surf equipment. So, Right. But do they invoice or like that's the thing is

63
00:16:55.920 --> 00:17:11.919
you have to set up a invoice way to invoice with each company. >> Sure. >> You have to get their W9s from each company. You have to submit it to the accounting department and then they have to create a system in our system for them. >> It's just it's labor intensive. This

64
00:17:11.919 --> 00:17:27.679
would probably take me a day. >> Yeah. Going to the state going to the state website will be a nightmare. By the time you get the equipment, it'll be next year. So I think we have to work out a quicker way of just ordering it or getting a purchase order and negotiating with the people that will send you a purchase order bill us type thing

65
00:17:27.679 --> 00:17:43.679
because we already >> so if we do a purchase order we have to create that in our system >> right >> which I am not sure how to do. I have the directions um it's a new system so I would have to learn that system or be trained by the accounting department. >> Well we can we can we can tap into

66
00:17:43.679 --> 00:17:59.039
whoever knows how to use the system and just do that. So, I mean that would be the easiest way is to have >> Nicole told me I have to do this. So, I would have to learn the system. >> Could we look and see how we purchased the equipment last year from >> Nicole ordered it. >> She did. Yeah.

67
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:15.520
>> Using a credit card or >> I don't know. >> Okay. >> Because I picked it all up. I remember I I threw it all in my truck and drove it here and >> Yeah. >> I don't know. >> Paid for it. >> Yeah. I I'm let me call Nicole tomorrow and see what there's a better way of

68
00:18:15.520 --> 00:18:30.000
there's a better way of doing >> what is the equipment that uh >> um so what still needs to be purchased is um sorry leashes for >> torps

69
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:46.480
>> and that now now what I found with Amazon too there are some items that had shipping so you can look up the prices ahead of time but then you have to calculate the shipping cost because um the shipping cost for the swim fins and goggles was $6249

70
00:18:46.480 --> 00:19:03.360
and there was a shipping cost of $9.99 on the ocean kayak comfort plus back rest. So anyway, on the other items that aren't on Amazon, it's leashes and leashes for torps. We need 10 of those >> totes heavy duty plano orange 203. So

71
00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:18.320
the it's like the big orange the big >> totes boxes. >> Can we get those at Ace? >> Well, because they're not really sturdy. They end up breaking like every year. >> You can't get it. >> They're not I I I need like heavy duty ones like the the ones that from Ace, they just keep breaking every year. And

72
00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:34.640
I feel like that's it's better to get something that's actually sturdy that's not going to break. Then >> the challenge is like it's hard to purchase stuff. >> Um we need a rescue reel that's $625 from feldfire.com. A rescue board racks. Um two of those

73
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:50.320
from mainrescue.com is what he had listed here. Um, and then the hats, the lifeguard swim trunks, and windbreaker. And those are from three different websites. I we might have to just do it from Amazon. I

74
00:19:50.320 --> 00:20:05.679
mean, I don't know >> because I know the windbreers last year were from Amazon and the decals within the first week peeled off. >> I realize that. It's just >> Yeah. >> Let's try to simp Let's try to simplify this as much as possible because we're going to do this every year. We don't want to have 72 vendors for 72 different

75
00:20:05.679 --> 00:20:21.679
items. I think it's just >> even it's a little bit more expensive. I think it's just easier to get it all in one and that way we know we can depend. >> N what do we do if we don't have the equipment? Do we have others that we can use >> other equipment? No, none of this. Like the leashes need to be changed. I change them every two years because they're

76
00:20:21.679 --> 00:20:38.080
starting to fray this year. >> So the leashes I mean I guess we would just have no torps at this because the leashes they're >> that's not a good idea. >> Yeah.

84
00:22:45.360 --> 00:23:00.880
rescue reels last year and there were a couple things they didn't have. They did have a lot of things. >> So, it' be easier and quicker to because they can probably give us a PO. I mean, build a town and we can give them a PO. That would probably and we have it right away.

85
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:19.919
41 Prospect F. >> That sounds right. >> Middletown. >> Yep. >> And do they have a website? >> Yeah, I'll send it over to you. >> Okay. >> I think that's how we got it last year. We sent a PO and I just went down and picked it all up.

86
00:23:19.919 --> 00:23:37.039
>> Okay. So, I could look on their website to see what's comparable. Um, if you want a glance, too, feel free. But then I' I'd try and order it on Tuesday. >> Okay. >> I'll send it to both of you guys. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> Okay. We'll figure this out by Wednesday. >> Mhm. Yeah. >> It'll give us Tuesday to figure this out

>> cuz we have to do something. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Time time frame is short. >> Mhm. >> Oh. Uh am I on? Am I talking about stuff? >> I guess so. All right. May as well. >> I'm sorry. I was uh the beach opening. We're still discussing, right? Yeah.

88
00:23:52.240 --> 00:24:09.600
Okay. Um, so in terms of regards to I've been trying to figure out with um the administrative staff here um what paperwork they need and don't need and all that kind of stuff. Um so since the select board approved all the guards because I gave the list for their last

89
00:24:09.600 --> 00:24:25.520
meeting to officially approve them. >> Um they they all have to get sworn in. So, I let them know that and hopefully they'll go get sworn in cuz Carla had told me that the swearing and paperwork is now at the clerk's office like she's giving it to them. >> Okay.

90
00:24:25.520 --> 00:24:42.720
>> So, um so then >> what are they getting sworn in for? I always I always question what the issue is that >> I don't know. >> Did you get sworn in when you were hired? >> Yeah. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> Even the committee members get sworn in. >> Committee members get sworn in because of an ethics thing. But I mean,

91
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:59.919
>> no. any I believe any employee >> really. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Unless you're a contracted employee I believe. Um so uh they are going to do that and then I had a question about the rate of pay. So like I just want to verify that

92
00:24:59.919 --> 00:25:16.559
because I have to do um >> there was a 3% raise. >> Well well this is the form that I have to fill out for the one new guard because he's brand new. But this also has to be filled out but for every new guard when their pay changes in July. So

93
00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:33.360
I just wanted to verify that they have the same rate of pay as last summer through June. >> Correct. >> And then starting July 1st is their new rate of pay for the new fiscal year. >> Correct. That's >> So um so that's fine. I just have to

94
00:25:33.360 --> 00:25:50.000
fill those out for July and make sure that Stella has all that. Yep. >> So, that is on my to-do list and start date is June 13th. >> And do you have the schedule set? Are

95
00:25:50.000 --> 00:26:05.120
you still working on it? >> Still working on it. >> Okay. >> And then, yeah, sorry. Um, preach for service. Okay. And then is the highway department doing an undercoating then on the John

96
00:26:05.120 --> 00:26:22.320
on the truck? I talked to them about it and they're doing they are doing it definitely on the truck, but I I think they're going to be able to do it on the Gator as well, which is good. Yep. >> So, I may be getting those invoices. >> That's fine. >> Okay. Um the Valran storage unit is set to be delivered Wednesday, May 27th, and

97
00:26:22.320 --> 00:26:40.000
picked up on Friday, September 11th. >> Okay. >> Cuz your last day is the 7th, right? September 7th. >> So, that'll give us more last day. >> I mean, I could have him pick it up on the 8th, but I just wanted to give you a little leeway. That week is fine. >> Yeah. Okay. Um the monthly rate is $139

98
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:55.600
and >> when they sent the contract, the deliver they add the delivery of the storage unit and the pickup of the storage unit into the contract that we pay right away. So th that's um $278.

99
00:26:55.600 --> 00:27:11.520
So it'll be a total of $417 um to sign off on the Valtran contact contract, which I can do if you want me to. Yeah. Okay. Um, and then >> Porter John's. >> I don't order those. Okay.

100
00:27:11.520 --> 00:27:26.559
>> I think that's Leon, right? >> Leone orders those, right? >> Yes. She's in Utah right now, so I don't know. >> Uh, >> what day does do those get delivered? >> We use sometime before the start, whatever day that is. So,

101
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:42.799
>> and I don't know what company she's been using. >> We use Freides. We We used another one for >> Mr. Cessool. >> Yeah, Mr. cesspool, but we had little issues with uh a phrase is a little bit more expensive, but they were a little better at servicing the portagons. >> So, is she gone all next week?

102
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:57.919
>> I don't know that. >> Okay. I mean, I'm here next week starting Tuesday. So, I can order them if you'd like me to. Um I just don't know what you usually get. I know there's two out there. Usually, >> we usually get two, a handicap one and a regular one. Yep. >> For the path. Yep.

103
00:27:57.919 --> 00:28:13.600
>> And then one in the parking lot in the Kitty Beach parking lot. >> Yep. Now, there's been questions and I don't know if it's a good time to bring it up now about East Beach >> for Portage Johns. >> There's been they've been inquiring the

104
00:28:13.600 --> 00:28:28.799
slight I had a couple sluggman ask me, but uh we haven't had a Porter John there since the pandemic because originally we we had during the pandemic there was no way of washing them out every two hours. Basically, you had to go over there and

105
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:44.480
spray them every two hours. And for the lifeguards to go back and forth every two hours, it was just >> But even before that, we had all kinds of problems because they turned into trash bins. >> People threw garbage in there and then when they threw the garbage in the they couldn't clean them. So, they would sit

106
00:28:44.480 --> 00:29:00.240
and unclean for a while and they'd have to bring a whole new portagon, which cost extra money to bring a whole new port and haul the old portagon away. Uh, and then three days later there'd be rocks and cans and bottles in it and the same thing. It would be a perpetual >> over the summer. It was perpetually.

107
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:16.000
>> If you try to have them where there aren't lifeguards or any >> Yeah. It's just, you know, and a lot of people on East Beach who use East Beach would like to have one there. >> And I've been asked on several occasions, I'll leave it up. I just it's impossible to maintain those.

108
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:32.720
>> There's no oversight. I've come around the corner and they've been pushed over and you know everything you can imagine you know and then they become trash receptacles because I start piling the trash around them thinking the town's going to come by and pick up all the trash. >> Sure. >> And it just you know

109
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:48.880
>> it hasn't worked in the past. >> It it used to and then it just for some reason everything just got out of control. I think it just it got abused like everything else in the world, you know. just >> Mhm. >> it started not working anymore because >> every time they had to haul one away, it cost us, I don't know, a couple hundred

110
00:29:48.880 --> 00:30:04.720
bucks to send a new one, but it was like every 3 days. >> Yeah. >> Or it would sit there and unclean for two weeks and then it would be sitting in the sun for two weeks and >> Yeah. Nobody's going to use it. >> And yeah, there was a guy down wind who would prefer that we not put it there, >> you know, and unfortunately that's just

111
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:20.720
the way it is. Uh I mean, I feel bad. I wish we could do something. >> Sure. you know, uh, but I don't know what we could do. >> Yeah. I don't think it's realistic for >> the problem is one of the problems is, you know, the the beach is, you know, a quarter of a mile at least. >> Yeah.

112
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:35.679
>> And where do you put it? So, >> well, we used to put it right in the back of the center of the lot and it would be used. >> I don't know. >> And and I would logical place to put it. >> Yeah. It wasn't a problem with during the day. It was always a problem what happened at night.

113
00:30:35.679 --> 00:30:50.799
>> Oh, yeah. Well, obviously. Yeah. Because it's, you know, there's always a problem. >> No gate, no nothing. >> Yeah. So, it just, you know, like I said, I'd come around the corner in the morning and it'd be tipped over or it'd be piles of trash all around it or whatever the case may be. So, I don't

114
00:30:50.799 --> 00:31:07.039
know what the pleasure. I've been asked by a couple of people. >> Yeah. >> And we had an email from one resident. Well, if we have no way to maintain it or make sure >> they clean it, but they won't they can't clean it if there's stuff inside like bottles, rocks, anything hard like that

115
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:22.080
they can't clean. >> So, they have to bring it. >> So, they leave it. They leave it and then it sits for a couple of days uncleaned and then >> they have to come and bring a new one and >> it becomes a cost factor. >> Yeah, >> I'll leave that. I mean, I don't know

116
00:31:22.080 --> 00:31:39.519
what I think we just go the way it is. I mean, I understand >> Yeah. wide and you know showed up putting up a chain link fenced enclosure with bob wire on top of it >> and opening it up in the morning and closing at night. I don't know what else we could do. >> What do they do at um at the town

117
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:55.200
landing? >> There's one there is one there is one there. >> It's a little less uh >> sure >> you know not as many people there's not >> you see what happens at night. >> Yeah. Yeah. People coming and going.

118
00:31:55.200 --> 00:32:10.880
>> Beach. Yeah. >> All the way in the parking lot to get to it. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. It, you know, East Beach is >> wide open and heavily traveled all day, all night. >> You know, I just don't know if there's anything we could do to accommodate the

119
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:25.279
people who are requesting >> and there's no way to lock it up at at night. >> I think if you lock it up, it's going to end up on its side. >> Yeah. >> I pretty much I will almost guarantee that the thing will be tipped over. >> Yeah. So maybe it's best to not have one

120
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:42.399
there. Um >> yeah, I don't know what the answer is. If uh >> the question is going to come up again, I'm sure like I got to bring it up and because they're getting inquiries from people. >> Sure. >> And we have one email I believe from a

121
00:32:42.399 --> 00:32:58.480
woman who wanted to know. She was told what the issues are and she understands the issues but >> yeah, we need the portaotti police. >> Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know what you do because it's just impossible, you know. Um,

122
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:15.440
>> unfortunately. So, >> no. >> Okay. Anyway, moving on. Um, no. Good. >> I just wanted to ask about the Cherry Web Beach parking lot. Was there anything happening to that this season? I know last season there was some work done. >> Yeah. No, we didn't get See, last season we got the free ground asphalt.

123
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:30.240
>> So, Chris very nicely placed it and it's held up pretty well. Aprons have put in. It's held up great. Yeah. The other parking lots aren't bad. I I close those in the winter because when you have the freeze soft thing, it gets real soft in those parking lots whereas the other two don't now. Yeah.

124
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:47.279
>> Eventually, if we get more free stuff, >> okay, >> they will work on it. Uh >> vegetation wise, there's one tree I'm going to go down and just take a chainsaw to that fell in one corner. It's not extracting a lot, but but it it's in pretty good shape. Everything's in pretty good shape right now. Uh there

125
00:33:47.279 --> 00:34:03.840
was a pile of garbage left there, >> which gets me to the dumpster. I think it's time to call them to start picking up the dumpster. >> I did. Um uh but because the guards aren't starting till the 13th, I scheduled it for June. >> That's fine. >> Okay. >> As long as Because

126
00:34:03.840 --> 00:34:19.040
>> you have a key that you can >> Yeah, I've been putting that people been leaving like dog poop bags, but there was a bag of trash left there the other night and Yeah. And I just >> Well, you can still put stuff in there. Yeah. Throw throw it in there till June because you might as well wait till it's fuller.

127
00:34:19.040 --> 00:34:34.480
>> But over the weekend there were quite a few people down there in the last couple of days. There were quite a few people down there. Yeah. >> Uh because of the weather obviously. >> But there's no lifeguards to take the trash out and put it in the dumpster. >> Well, no, but this gives it gives them the ability to if they have trash to walk over the dumpster and put it in the

128
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:50.480
dumpster. If it's locked, they just kind of drop it. >> Well, you can leave it. >> Yeah. Yeah. We can unlock it, but I also don't want to turn it into the, you know, somebody rehabing their house and the whole >> Right. Sure. >> Your deck is being pushed into the dumpster because that's what the problem we've had. >> Uh,

129
00:34:50.480 --> 00:35:06.320
>> you know, but I I can unlock it. I'll unlock it tomorrow all morning. I'll unlock. >> I think it makes sense if we're going to have it picked up in June. Yeah. You know, and so um I and maybe you can give advice on this. They asked every other week or

130
00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:22.480
>> I'd say I'd say yeah, every other week to every week. one one of those because honestly it can get really like >> can get bad. I would say every I would say every week to be honest. >> Yeah, I get every week. >> I would say so. >> I can imagine it can get pretty ripe. >> Yeah, it does.

131
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:38.320
>> 90° weather sun. It does. >> Okay. >> I'd say every week to be honest, >> right? I would love. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> They usually come Monday mornings, I think. >> Okay. >> Yeah, that sounds about right. >> Yeah. So, something got into the spindle rock dump. >> Oh. Oh. >> Probably raccoons. I had to stop down

132
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:55.040
the road here in front of the contraer bank family of raccoons in the middle of the road and everybody was stopped. >> Yeah. >> So yeah, I mean there are raccoons at the beach. I've seen them, but there other critters too. So >> um and then the only other thing I had was um the community member who sent the

133
00:35:55.040 --> 00:36:11.680
email about the agendas and minutes. So >> I will give you all those minutes. I left a thumb drive with all the minutes up to December last year with Paula. >> Okay. But I will send you all the minutes of every minute I've ever taken since 2021. I didn't start taking

134
00:36:11.680 --> 00:36:28.160
minutes till 2021. So the only thing I have electronically is everything from 2021 on. >> Okay. >> So those are the only ones I can send you. I don't know what happened the minute. >> Do you want to then give me a thumb drive or do you want to email them? >> I can probably email. They're they're all one page, two-page documents.

They're all very I'll give you each year in an email 2021 or you want me to do multiple. They're all dated like minutes of five, six, 26 and all that. >> Okay. I'm wondering if we can put them on the website as just like this year from this date to this day and it's all one document. Is that what you're

136
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:59.599
saying? >> Yeah. Is there a reason? Do you know what the >> I'm guessing freedom of information act? I don't know. She sent the email I think to the town clerk and then the town clerk sent it to me and then she did leave me a voicemail. So >> I know Lauren. I know who she is. Yeah.

And there'll be some months like we didn't have a meeting in February because of the school storms. So there will be okay >> if she has or why don't we have February meetings or a minutes or I don't think

145
00:39:10.160 --> 00:39:29.119
Anything else? >> No. >> Just looking at this. Where are we on the form? Where were we going to go with the form? Do we know? So, um I I don't know. Uh the town landing has a form on the website that >> already is very ownorous. So,

146
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:46.160
>> um all I know is that um the town administrator said he would like to have all forms be the same. You know, have I it's a goal to work toward, but if we have a form that Perry I know worked on um so thank you for that. You know, I'd

147
00:39:46.160 --> 00:40:02.480
be happy to >> uh that is in HTML. Um, that isn't a drop down, but we can put we could make a drop down. I'm sure uh the whoever I think handles our town website could, but I have copies of what this would

148
00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:18.640
look like. >> You can give them to Dana, >> everyone. >> And then there's a word version as well, so they could print that out. Um, >> but this would allow them to go on to the beach committee, the landing commission, the recreation department, whatever committee. The landing commission requires that the applicant

149
00:40:18.640 --> 00:40:34.640
go to all these departments to get signed off board of health. >> I think that's a little ownorous. >> I didn't have that in ours. I just have >> I mean I don't have a problem but what should happen similar to uh when we submit things to planning board when I submit things to concom is they circulate it through. If there's any

150
00:40:34.640 --> 00:40:50.880
comments then the applicant must address any comments from the police department, fire department or whoever makes the comment. >> That's the best way to do it. But in other words, we get we take a form in, we circulate it to all department heads. If they don't say anything, great. If they say something, we go back to the

151
00:40:50.880 --> 00:41:07.920
applicant and say the police want to know how many cars or what you're doing with traffic control, whatever the case may be. >> Yes, >> that's the best way to do it. I think the form's great. Uh I think it's a good idea. I think it all be the same. I'm on the landing commission, so on Tuesday, I'm going to bring that up about >> Okay. could have the applicant go to the

152
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:24.160
try to find the police, run over to the fire station, then run over to the board of health and try to get all these signatures for >> Yeah, >> it's just easier if you can because I know we have the portal now, the permitting portal. I forgot what it's called. >> Oh, I don't know. I'm not involved with that. >> Yeah, I know the planning board's on it and the building department's on it

153
00:41:24.160 --> 00:41:41.599
where you submit something and it can be distributed through that portal. I think that would be the way to do this particular thing. I think you can just upload the form and then they can fill it out and send it back. >> If you're on the landing commission, could you use the same format that Perry

154
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:58.079
is or or show it to them and then see if they would be willing to go with that? Because I think if the landing commission and the beach committee are on board with it, um I can also chat with my rec commission like and then we could bring it to Chris at that point. Yeah. To implement.

155
00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:13.760
>> It just would be consistent and easy to do. Yeah, >> I think the only thing different uh with our um application was we were going we had talked about charging a fee. I don't think that the landing commission charges a fee

156
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:28.720
>> and the recreation commission would be charging a fee. >> Yeah. But I think that's easy, you know. I mean, I think for each one it can be different and you can manipulate it, >> right? >> Um we just need to know what you >> So the permitting portal tells you if there's a fee. There's no

157
00:42:28.720 --> 00:42:44.240
fee. It tells you that it says there's no fee involved with this. Or >> like in state has the same thing. Uh like when I sign up for my fishing license. >> Yeah. >> Being an old man, I don't have to pay for a saltwater fishing license. So, >> all right. >> And so we said, "Yep, you're exempt." Boom. >> All right. >> You don't have to pay. And that's the

158
00:42:44.240 --> 00:43:02.319
same thing with all the uh permitting things. They come up. This does not require a fee or this requires a fee, you know. >> Sure. >> So, I guess we could provide the town administrator with an example of what we would like to use. >> Yes. But I I think we'd um

159
00:43:02.319 --> 00:43:18.240
I think it would be good if you chat with the landing commission first because if we have multiple departments on board with this idea and present it to Chris in that respect. Yeah. I think that would be great because then >> you know Chris doesn't have to worry about oh well it has to >> be looked at by this group and this

160
00:43:18.240 --> 00:43:33.520
group and >> I think it would be fairly simple for the um for them to get it on the website. I don't know about the portal. I'm sure. >> Yeah. I'm not sure how you Yeah. I'm not sure how that hooks up. >> Integrate it. You know, I'm >> Well, they're they're trying to get every department to integrate it. The

161
00:43:33.520 --> 00:43:48.800
board of health is kind of lagging, but you know, and conservation, but right now, planning and building are on it, and it's very simple to do. Well, what we would do for our recreation department, too, because I don't I don't know if we could be on the portal or not, but um we would probably just ask

162
00:43:48.800 --> 00:44:05.520
that they contact the department to submit payment like whether it's a check or whether we could accept a credit card. I'm not sure right now. We're just doing checks or >> No. So, what happens it it's got a name. It's like US portal something or abuse permit portal or something. And they

163
00:44:05.520 --> 00:44:20.560
charge a fee for everybody that hooks into it. So there'll be a fee involved that I suppose we and the recreation whoever signs up >> you know they charge but they set it up so that you can pay with a credit card and credit like you can pay your taxes with a credit card like and

164
00:44:20.560 --> 00:44:35.359
>> it goes to whatever >> goes to some cyerspace bank somewhere and >> so the recreation department already has ability accept credit card payments through our website that we pay a annual fee for through our recreation software. So ideally, we'd probably want to use

165
00:44:35.359 --> 00:44:52.240
that. So, you know, I think that's okay, though, as long as the person filling out the form knows whose department to contact. I mean, I don't know, >> but I'm just trying to make it as simple as possible. I think eventually you'll have to go that way, too, cuz if you Darm is a real good example that they

166
00:44:52.240 --> 00:45:07.440
made like there was no, well, I don't want to do this right now. Well, too bad. made every department just sign up and you had to use it because it was just I think cheaper, easier, and then was consistent. Like somebody could keep track of it and >> Well, there Yeah, that's the thing is that on the back end there'd have to be

167
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:23.520
a way for someone to keep track of it going to their their department's account, you know, not just a general account. >> Yeah. I don't know how Dartmouth does it. I'm not aware. And maybe uh I should ask somebody over there who how they do it. I I think they're setting it up in town is what I'm saying. Yeah. So to be

168
00:45:23.520 --> 00:45:39.520
like that. So every department that you have to pay a fee to whatever it may be even your dog license or whatever that eventually you're just going to go online and say this that and dog license is a little different maybe that's a bad example but I think you still have to come in dog marriage

169
00:45:39.520 --> 00:45:55.839
>> those type of things but other things that you pay fees for they just come in and do it. >> And that's something too that I think Chris at his level can can say as well. >> He was over in Dartmouth so he must know about it. Yeah, I would think >> I I would think that he know he would know about it because it would be easier

170
00:45:55.839 --> 00:46:13.440
to do, you know, that we less work for you. I mean, um out of your recreation hat, but in your beach hat, >> uh that you have to deal with, you know, once everything just goes through the portal and you know, it gets paid and everything's been addressed. >> Yep. >> I know that the harbor master I received

171
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:29.119
in the mail. >> Um >> he's trying to push it that way. Yeah. >> And there's just a QR code. You take a, you know, you hit the link and then pay with your credit card. >> Yeah. >> Right there. Or your your bank account. >> That's what we're trying to do with the landing and everything. But I think everybody has to be on the I think

172
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:46.319
everybody has to be the same one. It may not work as well for some departments as others, but I just think you have to do it that way because you can't have residents searching on six different websites to pay for, >> you know, Cohog license. I think it directs it to

173
00:46:46.319 --> 00:47:02.160
where all of your bills are, you know, it I believe. So, you click the QR code and >> I don't know what the software is, so I couldn't say at this time, but it's definitely something we can look at. >> Yeah, it's definitely I think going forward. >> Okay.

174
00:47:02.160 --> 00:47:17.200
>> You don't have to stay, Mike, if you I mean, we don't want to bore you to death here. >> All right. Thank you. >> I know it's thrilling. I know it's thrilling and you want to be on TV, but you know. >> No. >> Have a great graduation tomorrow. >> Congratulations. >> Yeah. >> So, uh,

175
00:47:17.200 --> 00:47:32.800
getting back to the minutes, uh, get a motion on the corrected minutes of, uh, April 16th. >> I'll make a motion that, uh, we approve the minutes. >> Second. Second. >> All in favor? >> I I So, okay. Three.

176
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:54.880
>> All right. Uh having said that uh security camera I have not got in touch with M uh Lieutenant Pretent about the security camera and scheduling an installation I guess uh so I don't have

177
00:47:54.880 --> 00:48:11.440
anything to report Tom Clark they have over 2100 beach passes but because of the weather just turning nice last weekend it's all a sudden it's been like you And they put very nicely, Chris did put something on the website says, "If you don't have it in by Wednesday, you're not getting your beach pass for Memorial

178
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:26.000
Day weekend." >> Yep. >> And I shared that through the rec department Facebook page as well. >> Yeah. Because it wasn't going to be come here Friday at 3:30 and start pounding on the door type thing for your I don't know if lucky is the right word to use, but it's not supposed to be a great

179
00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:41.839
weekend this weekend. So hopefully everybody will use that time to apply for a beach pass in a timely manner. Uh I have one thing. Uh I went to the disabilities committee meeting on Monday afternoon.

180
00:48:41.839 --> 00:48:58.240
Uh because uh there I'm a member of the beach barrier beach resiliency committee. Uh and there's a recommendation from the consultant to close down the lower

181
00:48:58.240 --> 00:49:13.520
easterly 300 ft whatever from town way of uh Beach Avenue uh under you know just the town that's not to maintain it anymore. The disabilities committee has a concern

182
00:49:13.520 --> 00:49:29.680
that they don't want that to happen unless they can get some asurances that they have parking somewhere else. Right now, the town is in non-complian with the ADA act with access to the beaches. That was one of the few places we could point to. I don't think they

183
00:49:29.680 --> 00:49:45.119
have access there. So, we may have to come up with a way of figuring out different access or the recommendation, not that it's going to close, but the recommendation is to close. I'm not a big fan of closing anything without providing

184
00:49:45.119 --> 00:50:02.079
>> what this is the end of Beach Avenue. >> Yeah. >> 300 feet. >> Yeah. you know, from Town Wayu. I don't know how far that is. >> Well, Town Way is I mean, it's it's really doesn't exist. >> Yeah. But but from there on, >> but it's it's uh 300 ft is

185
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:18.720
>> 300 feet. I don't know how far it is. >> Yeah. It's it's not from from the point where it turn goes from 40 ft to 30 feet, >> right? It's about 300 feet. >> No, it's more than that. >> Okay. Whatever it is, that's that's the that's what the draft recommendation is.

186
00:50:18.720 --> 00:50:33.520
Was that from conservation or what? >> No, that was from this the consultant for the uh who is uh the Woodshole group who and the concern is the Woodshole group says we can possibly get grants to

187
00:50:33.520 --> 00:50:50.160
help with access to the beaches. >> So we would be in compliance, but I wouldn't want to close or shut down any parking spaces until that happens. >> Sure. I'm not a big fan because >> if you just keep two parking spaces at the end of the road, it's the same as

188
00:50:50.160 --> 00:51:05.200
you got now. >> Yeah. Well, that's what I don't know what >> you wouldn't be closing. You wouldn't be decreasing any parking spaces. >> So, the my concern was you can't just take something away without providing something else. >> I mean, I don't think it's fair and you

189
00:51:05.200 --> 00:51:21.599
know, just because you want to, you know, and you know, is not a good reason. >> And don't they have the moi mat over there? >> They are not. I don't know if they're going to put the moy mat out this year because >> all the way at the end. >> Yeah, the the terrain has changed significantly and realistically it's

190
00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:37.520
hard to get to the beach. You could I would say if you're in a wheelchair, you're not getting to the beach on that moy mat. >> Yeah, the m the the place where they had the moy mat is is either >> it's it's built up from sand sloping. >> Yeah. And it's built it's like a burm at this point. It doesn't work.

191
00:51:37.520 --> 00:51:54.640
>> Yeah. It it and cuz whenever you put the moat down, it kept getting covered with sand. So was unless somebody goes on and cleans it. >> Sure. >> Which is going to get to my next discussion. Uh so uh they were looking for the beach committee to support them in the uh manner of don't take away

192
00:51:54.640 --> 00:52:12.319
something until we have something. And I'm not sure how that's all going to work through the slightment and everything like that. Well, what I would suggest was that is that if we make a if we end the road in a different place that we try to get at least one more

193
00:52:12.319 --> 00:52:28.800
handicap space. >> I think I think we could and but it's getting you know where do you go from there? At least when you're at the end of the nubble you're at the end. You know the problem is if you're sitting on Beach Avenue, you know, you're 10 foot high dune here and a 10 foot high dune there. >> Well, you're at the beach.

194
00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:44.160
>> Yeah. uh you know so that's their concern. Uh that's item number one. >> Yeah. Well, I would I mean I would love to see a boardwalk then. >> That's you know >> I always complain because all these committees that recommend these things I

195
00:52:44.160 --> 00:52:59.200
asked what about Jerry and Web Beach >> because to me that's the beach you want to save the most. That's the biggest. >> Sure. >> And they didn't even want to consider anything. Said everything's fine. >> And Ross Moran and I were looking at each other like that seems like the beach you should be very proactive on. Yeah.

196
00:52:59.200 --> 00:53:16.319
>> But anyway, uh that's item number one. Item two, uh I keep getting asked. I sent you, you got the picnic table stuff I sent you. >> I don't think so. I don't know. >> I sent you two things for the picnic table >> emails.

197
00:53:16.319 --> 00:53:31.040
>> Yeah. >> Okay. I can look. I I don't remember. >> I'm 100% sure. If you don't have them, please let me know cuz I'll send them again. >> Okay. >> Uh they were the two vendors that we used to get the other picnic tables. >> Okay. It's approximately $2,000 for a handicap picnic concrete. The ones that

198
00:53:31.040 --> 00:53:45.839
are identical to the ones we have at the baby beach. >> Sure. >> Uh the chairman was asking me when we see that handicap. The mobile mats down on the Kitty Beach. They just want the It's basically a round table like the ones they are, but it has like an extension so somebody with a wheelchair

199
00:53:45.839 --> 00:54:02.319
can get underneath it from the Moby Man. >> That's what they're looking for. >> So, is there guidance with what you sent me on what to order and how to order it? Yeah, I I I don't know what color. You look at the color and the color of those. I keep looking at them and I can't tell which matches,

200
00:54:02.319 --> 00:54:18.319
>> okay, >> so to speak. You may want to take a look, you know, at stages. >> But it's very simple. It's it's a handicap thing. It's a round table just identical to the ones there. It's just that one side's opened and has an extension, a big square extension on it to >> allow a wheelchair to get underneath.

201
00:54:18.319 --> 00:54:34.720
>> Right. Okay. Uh, one of them is part furniture ink or something. I'll send them again just in case I won't be sending you. No, no, I just I I forgot to keep asking about that. So, I >> And do you want me to order them for through next fiscal year's budget or

202
00:54:34.720 --> 00:54:51.599
this fiscal year? >> I think we have money in this fiscal year. We do have some capital stuff. >> Uh, it depends with all the vehicle stuff that's been happening. Yeah. >> Well, the vehicle stuff now, can we use the new because we have >> we have We have the $40,000 that we got at town

203
00:54:51.599 --> 00:55:07.440
meeting for the new truck that we're not so we can >> True. Is Is that under Is there I I would just have to be directed like is that a capital improvement line item in the budget? >> No, it Oh, yeah. It goes into the capital improvement. So, it's $40,000.

204
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:23.440
So, I it's for a truck. So, I I would assume that we could use it for that truck. And I talked to Chris about that earlier that we might not have enough till July 1st and he was okay with some of the stuff. So >> I I know someone with a truck for sale.

205
00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:38.400
>> Yeah. Oh, now you have >> Well, I just heard about it yesterday. >> Okay. >> No, we're good on the truck now. So, >> you got a truck. Don't Yeah. >> So, so the picnic table and the truck stuff can go under the capital improvement >> line. Well, not the $40,000, but there's

206
00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:53.440
another We have a line item for capital improvements above beyond the 40,000. >> I guess I don't know which to which like when I process the invoices or order stuff, I don't know which ones to >> Well, the capital improve Well, I don't know if the $40,000 is going to be a

207
00:55:53.440 --> 00:56:09.599
warrant article line item or if it's going to be just here's $40,000 >> because we've already been processing invoices that I've been turning in, right? And I mean there was I think a maintenance line item so I was just

208
00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:26.640
using that like I don't know. >> I think there's a maintenance one. There's a gas and oil one that we never used either. >> Okay. >> So >> So maybe So if I if I get any future truck invoices and the picnic table, I

209
00:56:26.640 --> 00:56:43.359
guess let's consult over which line. I don't or if you know now. Yeah. >> So, no. There was $11,500 in the capital improvement. >> Is it? But when was this pulled?

210
00:56:43.359 --> 00:56:59.920
>> That was through 630. No, wait a minute. Excuse me. That was What's the date of this? Good question. >> Because I processed invoices since this was pulled, I believe. >> So, this is through April 30th, 2026.

211
00:56:59.920 --> 00:57:13.839
Okay. >> It might not have hit yet. >> Right. Okay. So, right. Capital improvements. It says 11,500. >> Right. So, whatever you have and my understanding was $2,300 something dollar for what we had spent for

212
00:57:13.839 --> 00:57:32.240
lifeguard stuff, but that came under uniforms, right? >> It depends now because there's um like I mentioned, there's shipping costs and stuff. So, the total I have I'd have to retotal it. I'm sorry. Give me one second. >> No, no problem. I mean, you don't have

213
00:57:32.240 --> 00:57:48.880
to do it right now. >> Well, just to have an idea, it's definitely under 3,000 >> because we have a line item from additional equipment for $9,200. >> Correct. Yeah. >> I've been assuming that most of this equipment will go under additional

214
00:57:48.880 --> 00:58:13.920
equipment or miscellaneous charges and expenses, >> right? Oops. >> We should have enough money. >> So, $2,61.73 for And that's for just the items he needs. Yeah. >> Right. Okay. So, we should have enough money is what I'm thinking.

215
00:58:13.920 --> 00:58:29.599
>> Yeah. Hopefully. >> Okay. >> Uh, what else do I have? the MOI map. >> Mo, here we go. I'm glad you brought that up. So, we got the $25,000, which was

216
00:58:29.599 --> 00:58:46.400
uh $10,000 to put with other equipment uh to play for the cameras. >> Mhm. >> And then I think we should install the cameras first >> and we should look into purchasing Moby Mats >> in the new fiscal year, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. This is all Yeah. After July

217
00:58:46.400 --> 00:59:04.799
1, we get all this money. So, uh, we should look into see purchasing MOI mats, uh, whenever that comes up. I don't know if vendors I don't know. >> It's available, right? It in July, right?

218
00:59:04.799 --> 00:59:20.799
>> But I just don't know. I We should be ready to like king the order, you know, like on July 1st at 12:01. >> All right. I'll I mean I can ask um uh Martin what I mean did they purchase the one at for >> Yeah, I think that they they might have

219
00:59:20.799 --> 00:59:35.920
purchased it through the highway department actually. You might want to ask >> Okay. >> You might want to ask Austin. >> Okay. >> And I know the lifeguard said that they would maintain it in terms of keeping the sand off of it. >> Uh but Dana and I were speaking. Um, I

220
00:59:35.920 --> 00:59:52.640
think my concern is that, uh, if somebody was handicapped and they thought they were going to get down there and use the Moby Mat to get to the beach, it's not going to allow them to get to the beach, but it is going to allow for easier access of everyone to get through that last

221
00:59:52.640 --> 01:00:09.040
>> part of the the dunes there. >> Yeah. >> So, we should let folks know when we're putting it in, >> right? That it's not, you know, you also, you know, it's like pediatric carpet basically. Yeah. You know, uh, yeah. I mean, I think everybody's under that pressure. Even Martin's under that impression that >> Yeah, I think it'll make it easier for

222
01:00:09.040 --> 01:00:24.799
everyone. >> He said the same thing. It's like when you're down at the end of the mat, last mat, what what do you do from there anyway? Yeah. You know, because it's still 50 ft of beach to cost and >> you know, and I don't know how much it depends on how much we can purchase actually. We get the whole 350 or 250.

223
01:00:24.799 --> 01:00:40.880
>> You take the money you've got and buy that. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's what I mean. >> See how far you can go. >> Yeah. Exactly. You know, >> here it is. I think we said from the uh Portage John to >> basically >> Port John down to the end. >> Yeah. >> Uh where the >> where that bench is.

224
01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:57.839
>> But basically Yeah. Just past the bench. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> But then it gets real soft again. >> Yeah. Once you're on the beach, you know, but I think people >> I mean you see them heading in and heading out and they're, you know, they're having a difficult time. So I think this will >> make it easier for them, you know. So it

225
01:00:57.839 --> 01:01:15.440
was um 350 ft or 10 up to $10,000. >> I think it was 15, wasn't it? >> We had 10 the way we You had >> Oh, it might have been 15. >> Yeah. And it was 15 cuz we had 10,000 plus a couple thousand more in C for uh the cameras that we had in the budget

226
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:30.720
already. >> And then it was 15. But just get a price, okay, of what you know, I don't know how much. >> For all we know, it could have tripled in price and we can only get 100 ft. and then we're going to be in trouble. >> Okay. >> I mean, it would be helpful, but

227
01:01:30.720 --> 01:01:46.319
>> yeah, >> I think it's just be diff going to be difficult to maintain. >> Yeah, it's a start. You know, at least >> there was some thumbs up when I answered the question at town meeting. There were some people who were nodding their heads. So, I think it was a good thing. So, >> I didn't get I didn't get any push back

228
01:01:46.319 --> 01:02:01.359
or people jumping up like why did we raise our fees type thing. >> Yeah. >> Uh so, that seemed to go well. So, I think we're >> great. >> We're all good in that. I think everything else is fine.

229
01:02:01.359 --> 01:02:18.160
Uh I don't know if member input. Anybody have anything? >> I did put together just a little beach facts um sort of uh page that we could connect to a QR code and put on the website. Um,

230
01:02:18.160 --> 01:02:33.520
it pretty much answers everything, but I would ask that we go through it all and make sure that it's all correct before, you know, I would imagine it has to go to the town administrator and then to the web master. Uh, but we should probably look at each one and say, "Okay, this should be here. This

231
01:02:33.520 --> 01:02:50.480
shouldn't be here." Um, >> Right. >> But it pretty much touches on everything. >> What is a piping floor? >> Yeah. Um, >> so >> yeah. Oh, no. That's a great idea. I mean, that's the biggest problem we

232
01:02:50.480 --> 01:03:07.119
have is uh because we're so well attended, you know, that people don't understand why we can't run a bulldozer down the beach in the middle of July. And >> so, those are things we can we can put on there. >> Um, so

233
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:23.599
I don't know if I I don't know. I can ask Chris, but I don't know if everything has to like as long as it's relating to the beach and general rules of the beach, we could put it on the page, >> I think. But I can ask him. Um, and I I

234
01:03:23.599 --> 01:03:38.559
I'd have to check with Carol, but I think I have access to adjust the recreation department page and possibly the beach page as well. >> Put a link. >> I just haven't done it yet with the new website, so I'd have to kind of relearn it a bit. We all got trained virtually. >> You're the web master. Yeah. Um I bet

235
01:03:38.559 --> 01:03:54.720
she would probably help us out. Yeah. >> All right. >> Um so do you want me to have that copy or do you want >> Yeah, I can email it to you as well. >> Or yeah, just email it. >> But this is just a print. >> No, that's great. That's great. That is a good idea because those are a lot of things that like the port of John Beach was a perfect example. People didn't

236
01:03:54.720 --> 01:04:11.680
understand why there wasn't anything there for many years. >> Uh and you explain to them and they kind of get it. >> We like a frequently asked questions page. >> That's what it it's like same thing with clovers. Why can't and you know there's always people say well the heck with the birds but we can't say that but

237
01:04:11.680 --> 01:04:27.119
>> but you know they always wonder why can't we you know run things down the path and do this every day and you know and rake the seaweed. >> Sure. >> Uh and that kind of stuff. >> Answer all those questions. And then getting back to the application for use. >> Um you're going to bring that up with

238
01:04:27.119 --> 01:04:42.640
the landing commission. >> I would bring it up on Tuesday night, Tuesday afternoon. We have a meeting. >> Okay. >> I think it's still scheduled. I didn't see it posted. >> And what are you bringing up to them? you're going to ask if >> Well, I'm just going to say that we were also we the beach committee is also uh formulating a a form. I think we should

239
01:04:42.640 --> 01:04:58.720
be consistent. I think Jeff did the original form to his credit, you know, got a ball rolling. >> I think it's a little ownorous to have, you know, the applicant run around to every department to get a sign off. >> Yeah, it would be nice if we can connect it to the portal, >> get this >> because that's what in Dartmouth that's that's all you have to do and then you

240
01:04:58.720 --> 01:05:15.359
get a, you know, DPW will give you a comment, the building department will give you a comment, you know, and it'll show up in your email. They go right to your email and they'll say, "Hey, the building problem just responded to you and you have to do this and so you know what to do." >> So then at our June meeting, we can go over again and figure out. >> Well, I don't know. Yeah. What we're

241
01:05:15.359 --> 01:05:37.440
going to >> how what's going to happen on Tuesday afternoon or anything? But >> do you have a copy of it to share with them? >> That would be a good idea. >> Yeah, I have. >> Yeah, that would be a good idea. >> Somewhere here. This is

242
01:05:37.440 --> 01:05:56.000
what it will look like. Yeah, I can get it to you if I don't have it. >> That's fine. You get to before Tuesday, that's >> all right. That's all I have. >> What do you >> I'm No, no issue.

243
01:05:56.000 --> 01:06:14.559
>> No issue. Yeah. >> Okay. Then I'll entertain a motion to adjourn at 5:50. So move >> a second. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I I
