Dan's on. Hi Dean. Hi. Guys hear me? Okay. Uh, one second. Let's check this. Can you try talking again? Can you hear us, Dean? I can. I can. Oh, excellent. We hear you.
We don't see you, but we hear you. Yeah. I can't find a button that turns my camera on. Ah. Is that one right on part of the We're on Zoom, right? Yeah, we're on Zoom.
Yeah, we're on Zoom. Might not be this one. Yeah, I only see the ability to adjust audio settings, not video. Yeah, it appears that um in the webinar
it's not an option. Okay. All right. Well, can you can see us, I assume. Can you? I can. Okay. We know what you look like, so
somebody impersonating you. Uh, no. I can ID the voice, too. It's not like people are screaming to come in and find out what we're talking about. We'll put them on the energy committee. That's all right. Five o'clock. Introduce the members of the public. We we have none.
Correct. Correct. Nothing. Nobody else on Nope. On there. So, um I don't know if you have them at your um at your hand there, Dean, or if you've looked at them, but the uh minutes that
uh Mike presented from the last one, I've gone over them look fine to me. Anybody else have anything? Yeah. Uh since I was unable to make that meeting, I didn't have any comments to offer.
So you shouldn't review them anyway. Okay. Uh so I move that we accept the minutes as presented. Are we a committee now? We get our new
They're not going anywhere. They don't have to go anywhere. But we'll at least say that we have them. We like them. Yeah. And Mike does a great job on these minutes. Thank you. We used to wrestle with these in years
gone by, didn't we, Amanda? But uh Okay, Amanda, do you have any update for us? Uh yeah. So, two updates. One, the senior center um still isn't live yet.
They um began some of the um underground work and didn't get the proper signoffs from the um building department. So, they had to redo some work. And I haven't heard back. I reached out
rooftop solar. Yeah, I reached back out to um to Maria just to get an update. Um I haven't heard anything since then. And then the other update is that we interviewed today for the part-time energy manager. Um which um seems promising.
Good candidate. So yeah, so we'll see how that rolls out as part um Liz Argo sat on that committee interview committee today and um her and Bob were also there and then Nate Weten who's our senior project
manager and um who the position will be reporting to. Um, so we interviewed her and um, both Liz and Bob, you know, expressed, you know, the the path moving forward and hopefully the part-time will eventually turn into something full-time
if other grants are see out. Got a little bit more information and Bob's going to send a copy over of the contract that it's a part-time position for 19 hour up to 19 hours a week. Um, $45 an hour for three years. Um and it's
an initiative that um is funded by the need program in Eversur 100% funded by them. Yeah. Yeah. So there's certain initiatives um which he'll provide me a copy of that. Um but I think will help
with um you know being able to you know really understand all the different buildings and the position is going to report to the senior program manager. Is that you? Uh Nate works in my group. Yep. So um
Nate reports to me and that position will report on me. Okay. One of your supporters. Got it. Uhhuh. Okay. Um Dean, were you going to go try to look to see the EV charging thing over there
at the senior center? Not yet. No, I didn't plan to. Uh but I certainly have enough time to over there. Do you know the status? Does it get used? Um I have I didn't um I don't have uh usage data on it,
but it's been there a couple of years, right? Yeah. And it has been used. It's usable, right? Yeah, it is usable. Yes. No charge at no charge. I'm not aware of know it was no charge. I don't know if if anybody figured out
how to start charging or decided it should be charging money as opposed to I know that um others had mentioned that it has to be available for a certain duration before that part component could be added to it. Totally. Um, I
don't know about the senior center, but we it we did a a procurement for the three of them through Eversource. And it was the senior center, the DPW, and uh Bay Golf Course. And I know of the DPW that um the residents use it off
hours, but um because we don't have anything in our fleet yet um that would require it. And I know the ones here at town hall, those are older. Um, are used by town vehicles. Oh, there's some out here in the parking
lot. Mhm. Yep. If they're free to use. Yeah, I believe so. You Yeah, probably expecting that it'd be mostly pound people use. Yeah, they're all level twos.
Okay. Quick, just a quick question on that. When you say free to use, is that for anybody that drives up and plugs in or are they free to um particular segments of folks?
Uh I believe they're free free to use. They're on town property um and you can hook up to them. They are level two, so they're slower charging. They're not fast charging, so you'd have to be there for a long duration. It's probably not well advertised, but
Right. I think the town would prefer that residents not drive up and use them, but they it's always been my impression that they could if they wanted to. Yeah. So, if you got an electric vehicle, there you go.
Um, so, uh, Mike, you might just take a note that see if you can find out about that EV station over at the senior center next time you're over there for your energy committee stuff. Okay. All right. Um,
next item was the uh comments submitted on the draft 2025 plan Yarmouth local comprehensive plan which um I I sent off to everybody uh the
comments that I had put together on it. Did you see that, Dean? I did. I believe I I uh I sent a reply back to you by email. Yeah, that you said you didn't have anything to add or change or something. Same thing with
Mike. So, you guys had no problems with what what I said there. Um, I could kind of heard um over the weekend at a at a uh neighborhood outing in the my housing
development I live from a fellow who uh was on the planning committee and I think he just resigned. But um when I asked him if you know what he knew about the uh local comprehensive
plan and he he seemed to know that I had sent in these comments and sort of thought that it was way too much for them to comprehend and understand and try to respond to. yourself. Um,
you know, I don't see how you can put together a plan without knowing how you're going to measure the progress on the plan and actually establish in my terms goals and their terms objectives for where they're going to be every
year. so that the uh the select board could be tasked on those um goals and objectives every year as they are asked. Um and I think actually the town administrator
uh can correct me if I'm wrong, Amanda, but I think the town administrator is is responsible for progress on those goals and objectives. And if he's up for a salary increase, it's going to be kind of dependent on how well those goals and
objectives have been satisfied. And if you don't put any any meat on the goals and objectives, you can just say go forth and do good things, then you know, everybody uh says, "Okay, we did everything we're supposed to." And
that's it. So, did you hear back from Kathy on it? Um, I got an email back. Let me see. I should have uh probably printed that out. She has sent us
They're supposed to have a um be looking at all these things and presenting it to the board like November 12th or something like that. I think uh maybe there's a countdown meeting set up in November, right? Next town
meeting. So it could be that's when they're going to be doing that. November 17th is the special meeting. When is it? November 17th. 17. Okay, this is what uh
Kathy responded to my comments. She said, "Thank you for reviewing the draft LCB and providing comments. I will relay to the planning board for their consideration. Even if performance standards are not included in the LCP the hiring of a
municipal energy manager will offer the opportunity to track, measuring and report on the progress of energy saving measures in Yama. Is that that the person you were just
interviewing? The municip municipal energy manager. I don't know. Anyway, so I we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens with it.
Um, I think I know, um, Mike, you and Dean certainly come out of the, uh, energy community and, uh, engineers. Don't Do you think I'm off base by
asking for this kind of stuff? No. No. Dean, do you? Uh, no. Do you You can't evaluate what you can't measure. They call them smart goals, right? Specific, measurable. What was it? Uh yeah.
Uh reasonable or something. Time base. Oh, that's that what I I have from last time. The smart stuff, right? Yeah. But the other the other consideration too is is that the go
Yeah. Just because a goal is measurable doesn't mean it's appropriate either. you know to the example that would come to my mind and you talked about this a bit there Mike is is uh uh you know let's say you have an objective with a a
solarizing program if the objective is the uh dollars that it saves the town that's measurable and I'd say appropriate if your objective is to cover x% of municipal owned rooftops and panels might be objectionable but what's
the point. So, I think you got it right by by by focusing more on uh pro, you know, whatever programs get promoted that they're measured in terms of what they save the town. I know back in the working world when I
was there, we always used to say, tell me how be how I'll be measured and I'll tell you how I'll perform. Right. Okay. So, that's I um Dean, you did I mean Mike,
you did uh ask a question about I think it had to do with the um heat pumps. Yeah, actually it was a reflection of your own point from the meeting which which was uh they put in uh heat pumps in the goal I think it was but um you wanted to
broaden it so that geothermal would oh it no excuse me it said geothermal and you wanted broaden the air source as well to yeah to allow any kind of which um which I think I think I included in this diagram right I I I replied back to you right on that I
think I think so. I think you acknowledged it. Yeah. You look you look on that diagram and you see action four. Mhm. And you trace that down below the line there where I'd say you know kind of a
um a rewrite of the uh the action it says um including solar, wind, geothermal and air source heat pumps. Right. So whether they'll ever get down for that level of detail. Well, my guess is those
mini splits are are probably a lot I know they're less capital and probably a lot less expensive. Uh cost they're more probably more cost effective than geothermal rail that might been I have some water. I've installed five
of those. Okay. Um I didn't do them all at once. Had I been doing them all at once, maybe I would have been worthwhile to even look at geothermal. But I didn't even look at geothermal. Yeah. Uh, I would think, you know, geothermal
should be pretty good around here. It should be pretty easy to get that deep enough so you can start exchanging the energy. Just there's there's a lot to it, right? A lot of piping. Yeah. And then you're going to be pumping a fluid around. Yeah. And so there's energy there. So there's
losses as I mean I don't know the efficiency numbers of both systems but it seems to me it's that the mini splits are being chosen all over the place and uh sure I mean people
they buy ones ones or twos of them from bedrooms or something like that. So, okay. Um, all right. I had also next at 5:35 the status of the re requested change to the
energy committee membership. Um, again, I sent sent everybody out copy of what I had sent to the select board. Dean, did you see that as well? I did.
Okay. Um, one of the things I did was I went on the website, see, okay, how many different committees we've got here. And I'm not saying what's on the website is up to date because I know other things when I look at the energy side of it, it's not up to date. But anyway, there I
think there were 20 of them in there and a couple of them had their manifest membership structure read five to seven. So, it's not like we're asking for something nobody's ever done before. And
if we put five to seven, I know Joyce for one has been, you know, uh, kind of questioning whether I wanted to go in and just ask for five because some people would say we're trying to restrict the size and all this and everything. But so, but if we if we kept
the seven as the upper limit and just reduced it to five so we could operate uh officially with the three of us, which would give us a quorum when we're all here. We would never have a quorum if any one of us isn't here. So, um you
can get a quorum with two here and one on on Zoom, I assume. Right. Yeah. Okay. So, and then I just stopped in to see what's the admin's name. Not Mary, but the one name Pam. Pam.
Was that Pam Barnes? Mhm. Yeah. Okay. Um because what I did when I sent that, you get an automatic reply back saying, uh, please send in your name, address, phone number, email, you know, I ignored it for a few days
that, you know, it's coming from the energy committee. You got, you know, all that information. Why do I have to do it? You know, you can just see who it's from. So anyway, we didn't hear anything. So I sent uh my official information over together with the uh
with the original email so that they have that and then talking to Pam that will go to they provide that to each individual board member and then they have to act on it deliberate it. Bring it up though I didn't realize this at a
at a public session during one of their actual town meetings. So, I don't know when it'll will get on the agenda. They have to put it on the agenda. When we see it on the agenda, I'll certainly be there if I'm in town.
The ball is rolling. That's great. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, so in the meantime, the pressure is off of us. We're not officially deliberating and nor do we have to officially uh the only thing
official that they want are minutes even though the minutes from years past are certainly not up to date. I can tell you that. But we will once we get officiated, we will make sure that we submit our
notes appropriately and Mike's doing such a great job of that that won't be a problem. Yeah. Easy. Okay. So, next thing I thought, uh, Mike, could you tell us? Oh, sure. You go to the center this week.
Yeah. This was my, uh, second time and I had double your output pretty much. Yeah. I had, uh, a passer by stop in, talk about his billing plans and the pros and cons, and Oh, good. he's unhappy with how Ever Source uh,
updates at the end of a year. where he he expects like a true-up payment and instead uh they they do that and then change the monthly amount. But at the end of the conversation, he didn't want any changes or anything. Seemed to understand it all without me.
It was just a discussion. Uh I one thing I did this time and I'll do more of going into the next one. I got on the town Facebook page and mentioned it. Oh. And uh and I got two likes which made me hopeful I might actually see
somebody couple people purposely. This guy he wasn't planning to stop by. He just happened to be in the building and so uh so we'll see. Uh there apparently there's three Facebook I Amanda I think you turned me on to this as a possibility
and I I need to be uh allowed in to the other two but I'll look to um uh promote it more and then the senior center does like a newsletter. They do and I've talked to Gretchen and we missed the last opportunity. So this
one and this meeting and the previous one were not in the newsletter, but she assured me that it would be in the next one for the next two months. And we'll we'll see. So uh so we're trying to get a little more marketing out there, but but it's there and they're certainly
good to me, you know, office. It's it all you've seen it function. Yeah. Um, Amanda, would you know I mean is it does Mike have to get permission to put something like that on Facebook
there? Um, like on our not not the groups that he's posting like if you want something on like the town website u like town Facebook there's a form to fill out we could do that too. But you put it on not the town's Facebook page,
right? Yeah. Uh uh I put it on I don't know. It's like frenzy armor or some such. Like I say, there's a few of them and uh one of them I I think I needed to name a pond, you know, kind of prove you're from. Oh yeah. No, but those are good ones because it
it gets a lot of, you know, interaction. People probably more people residents. Well, I got I got two likes. I I was pleased with that, you know, and Yeah. So, we'll see. Uh we'll keep it up and Okay. Yeah. Good. Um,
okay. Mike, just a a question uh a question on your experience um with those at the senior center because I was in the back of my mind thinking about the different billing scenarios that people might have that they would ask about, you know, one
being just um uh the regular residential rate. Um, I don't recall whether or not Ever Source has a separate heating rate. Um, but I imagine some seniors are also
possibly on uh an assistance program. Not sure what those bills look like, but I was just sort of envisioning that the situations that people would would come in and ask about just to kind of figure whether we have a, you know, all those bases covered.
Yeah, I did some research, Dean, uh, in preparation for these meetings and I've got websites and I call them up when I'm at at the senior center so that if someone were to drop in and ask about heating assistance, I would know what to
do and uh and and also most of the uh rates are um retail rates. So, it's uh what are the retail options? So, I've got a page for those, you know, per constellation, I think, sells uh sells
power as an aggregator. So, so there's there are several uh out there, but I do feel prepared. I'm not as prepared, Dean, if they ask me about national grid gas rates, you know, but we'll see, you know, if they do, I'll I'll fe field it
as it comes and if need be, I'll get back to people. Oh, that's why I just uh figured I'd throw that comment out. Just I was thinking out loud because speaking for myself, one of the things I'm wrestling with is I'm I'm still relatively new to the net net metering
game with, you know, the solar panels on my roof just uh well, being fully function, they've been on my roof for a year, but being fully function is more like just a couple of months. Um, and you may have some seniors that get
do, you know, get talked into putting panels up there and then wonder what what their bill is is telling them. And I know, speaking for myself, I haven't quite figured out um, you know, net metering is a little bit of a m misnomer. not so much it's net for
energy but net for dollars because I noticed that the um the rate at which you sell back energy does differ from the rate at which at which you buy it and it has to do I think with various add-on charges that you don't get to
charge if you're selling but you get to pay when you're buying okay sure and I haven't I I haven't found a combination of those charges like there's a a cents per kilowatt hour for if if you're on the minus side and
you're, you know, and you're paying, but that rate is numerically different than if you're selling. It's it's lower if you're selling. And so some of these recovery charges, you don't get to just charge. You don't you only get to pay. So, uh, I was I was
thinking about reaching out to, um, Eversource myself to see if they can, uh, explain that more fully so that I, you know, if I were sitting on the hot seat, I could explain it to somebody else. Okay. Yeah. And and, uh, you know, if if
you're looking for a place to be on a Wednesday, the fourth Wednesday of the month, you know, at 1 PM, stop by. We'll look at it together. Well, I figured I threw that out there. That was a bit of self-education I was needing to do for myself just to satisfy
my curiosity. Um I'm not in a position where where I feeling like I'm complaining, but certainly it's I look at the bill and it's a mystery that I can't make the numbers work work out just perfectly. Um, so I I figured I'd
offer that. Um, if you haven't already gone through those preparations yourself, uh, whatever I learn, I'd be be happy to share. Well, I'd love it, Dean. Yeah, if you would, that'd be great. Thank you. Would would it be possible to ask the two of
you guys to put together a little PowerPoint presentation that, you know, you could show at one of these meetings right here? One of our meetings. about the bill about the bill. Uh, and I'm I guess I
would say um option one, option two, option one is uh you know just um somebody that has got electric heaters or something, baseboard electric heat. Um, and then option two might be
somebody that's got uh solar panels and the net metering and how that fits into it like Dean was just saying because uh I get get all wrapped up in my underwear trying to understand those things too. Ahu. So there's another vested interest. Gotcha.
So So that's a bad suggestion. Um and it would be easy enough. I mean, between all of us, we we should be able to find enough different types of bills to use. And obviously, you would want to scratch out, you know, the names of the
identifying information on the bills, but then just the figures, you know, become a source of circles and arrows in a PowerPoint. That that I think might be um might be useful. Uh then Dean, would you mind taking a
picture of your bill, email it to me, and I will uh PowerPoint it and take out the relevant information that's specific to you and use it? Yeah, certainly will. I I I you know, to my billing history, I can send you one
where I was uh net consuming for the billing cycle and another one where I'm net generating for that. Well, that would be great. Yeah, that give give examples and I can use the Ever Source website and probably figure out what's going on. Yeah. And then you can see live what I was talking about where you look and you
say, "Hey, how come these rates are actually different?" Well, oh, it makes perfect sense to me. It's uh my guess is that uh you don't get to charge the delivery the the part that has to do with the delivery system.
Yeah. You're you're a generator in effect, right? And uh and what they do is they uh they bill you for their generator or whatever generator you chose, retail,
plus uh the delivery system plus the taxes that the states don't let you show. Well, that I think it more I think it has more to do with, you know, if you look at if you look at your bill as a net consumer, there's I think we're up to almost six different
energy saving costs, you know. So you as the consumer um if you look there's like almost I think there's almost a half a dozen different named um conservation and energy saving co and things that that you pay for
and probably those don't work in reverse right you're not collecting for massive and so so you don't get to bill for it yeah but like I said I can't find the combination of those things that makes the rate when I'm generating
your work out numerically. And of course that bugs me as an engineer, my calculator wants agreement down to that last decimal place. Um, just thinking downstream,
this could perhaps be something where we might want to consider having a presentation over at the senior center for everybody. Well, resident I like the idea of the PowerPoint, Mike, because I think it it would it's portable, right? It would go in other
presentations and uh consistent with our goals. You know, I've started the dialogue around um uh see if there's a a willing teacher to partner with and deliver education. Right. So, so uh the vehicle for
delivering the education, this would be part of it. Yeah. And when I have it, if you don't mind, I'll send it to you, Amanda, so it could be shared. And Mhm. Yeah. Um before we drop that Dean, uh as Mike has been looking at the electricity
side, as we start getting more into the heating, uh climate around here, October, November, December, um might you consider doing something
similar from the uh National Grids point of view, how they charge everything. And before you drop that, I did want to mention to Mike, make sure you can break it into the distribution side and the generation side. So people know that we're adding
the two together. So usually somebody will tell them, well, how much does it cost? And they'll say something like 16 cents a kilowatt hour. Well, that doesn't count the distribution, which doubles it almost. Yeah. Well, transmission is disagregated. Well, yeah. So there's each uh level of delivery has a charge.
Yes. Yeah. Anyway, um I don't know if so, for instance, uh Dean, if you were going to be around town sometime when Mike's, uh manning the uh the table over there at the
senior center, uh if you could just sit there in case somebody walks in and has a question or two about their uh national grid bills, might that be something you could do? Um
I'm not savvy with um gas uh um you know the gas system. I'm an electrical guy and they are completely separate um subsystems. I get going on powerpoints and things. Okay. Actually the gas bills are easier. There's there's fewer disagre.
They don't try to hide as much stuff as they like to. Uh it's the states direct the companies on what to put on the bill and how to put it. Yeah. So, it's not when you say they, it's probably not the they you have in mind. Yeah. I was about to say I'm not sure
that there's a lot of variety um between what would show up on a national grid bill versus another utilities bill. Well, by states, they're they're all all far more similar than different. Yeah. And the other thing I've noticed, and I haven't been able to figure it out
for myself, um when you want to go into the competitive supplier market for um electricity, uh that is very it it's so easy that it's a it's surprising to me that um
it's only a small segment of the customer um base that actually does avail themselves of that. And um I've actually found myself um and sometimes in employment meetings
bringing that up that we you know electric utilities are usually left holding the bag for complaints um for both sides of that equation for the delivery side of the equation as well as the commodity cost side of the
equation when the the commodity cost doesn't belong to Eversource. If you don't choose a supplier, they choose one for you. If you're on the Cape, um, a lot of times, um,
because of their heavy marketing, people who do choose end up with Cape, the Cape Light compact because they're the most heavily marketed, you know, on the Cape. Uh myself, um I've gone I've been with
Constellation for a number of years and I would generally pick like a fixed three-year contract. They stopped offering that. Now the term is shorter um so that you could buy at a fixed price. And I can remember there was a period of time where I was happy in my
three-year contract because my commodity cost was about half of the going rate. And I'm sure that Constellation was anxious to see that contract contract expire. So there are real savings to the customer for that. Now you can choose a
competitor suppi competitive supplier on the gas side and I've done some reading on this and I've yet to figure out how you do it and how you benefit from it. So in that respect, that portion of the gas business seems a lot more
complicated than the gas side. Yeah. And Amanda, I did stop by Cape Lake, come back and pick up their materials, so I have a copy. Thanks for the idea. Okay. All right. Um the um next item on the
agenda was this recruitment of possible DUI high school liaison. So So you you uh provided me Thank you, Mike. You provided me with a couple of leads and I I reached out to the first of them but misspelled their first name which started right off with an insult.
Yeah. And uh and you know I responded to that with an apology and looking to uh Did I did I give you the wrong wrong spelling? No, you gave me the right spelling. You could blame it on uh Microsoft Word something. Uh I could but it would be uh incorrect.
Yeah. Um you know her name's Sylvie and I I uh put I converted it to Sylvia all by myself. Operator error. Not Microsoft, not you. And so anyway, uh, and then when she wrote back to me, she it was Mrs.
Theion. So, so I thought, "Oh, I guess I'm being too familiar to." So, we'll see. We'll see if that pans out. So far, uh, she was very quick to reply when I misspelled the name. Uh, then the apology was near immediate and I haven't heard yet. So, we'll see if I hear yet.
But my guess is I asked her if uh who would be a good person to work with and if she's going to work on it at all. My guess is that she would ask whoever it is before she gives me somebody else's name. So uh so it didn't surprise me that I haven't heard back yet.
That was just in trying to find the email that I got. It was Sandra Cashion that actually provided that name to me. She used to be on the energy committee and she uh she was basically was her position. She was she kind of watched over all the energy stuff for
the school department. Yeah. Yeah. She's very involved in it. So she knew her way around the school department. Yeah. And as I recall she said this Sylvie was uh she's a department head. She department you know I think she might be the
department head or something. But but I think by uh in her response like I my the way I read it anyway is it sounds like she teaches biology so I'm I'm looking for more of a physics teacher really. Yeah. Well the Sandra
gave me her name and that maybe she might might be able to point us to which is what I asked for. Yeah. So we'll see. So we'll see. It's in progress. And uh and then, you know, I'll I'll give that a week anyway. And if uh if it doesn't pan out, then I'll I'll reach out to
Sandra, I think it is. You gave me the other name, too, but I just started with one. Okay. Did I give you Sand? Did I forward Sandra's email, too? I have two. I have two from you. I've forgotten who the second one was, but uh but Sandra Sandra was she's out of the picture now. She was on
the committee and she resigned. She retired from the school department. Then she retired. She Okay. She goes snowmmoiling in the winter up in New Hampshire and I think she was surfing down in Florida during the summer. So So we'll see. Anyway, yeah. So in
progress. So I was happy to have the names. Thank you. And up we go. Okay. Um that covers all of the uh agenda items. Unless somebody now has uh any suggestions for future. Well, I've
got the the PowerPoint that you requested, so that sort of fits into it. Um, not that it needs to be done by the next meeting, but I think it would be something for us to have an evolve a good Yeah. should be able to get work progress
and you if you, you know, put it up as a draft in here and we can uh critique it and see where we need to beef it up or whatnot. Uh I would hope that by the next meeting that we will have heard back from the board. Um and
they will change our membership structure to 5 to 7. Um I don't think that's asking too much of them to do that. No, I thought I thought your basis was so clear. I I got to believe it'll get approved. Yeah.
Although, you know, in talking to Joyce about it, there are members on the select board that aren't too favorable towards energy and stuff. So, couple of them, I think. So,
um, so are you going to wait to hear about because you got two dates on this agenda for future meeting? Yeah. Okay. I was putting that down to because I want to double check my what
Mike and Dean is. Monday's still the best day for you guys. Mondays uh I I no longer have a Tuesday conflict. I used to, but that class is done. That course is done. So, I don't have to worry about that. Dean, what's your potential conflicts?
Monday is uh generally the better day for me. Um, Tuesdays are are pretty much my my go-to evening for help sessions when I'm teaching a course. So, if I were to if we if you we were to move this to
Tuesdays, I would be in and out of conflicts. Okay. So, we'll stick with Monday and then um I think so I think let's keep Monday, October 6. Oh, scratch October
7th because and Monday, October 13th is Columbus Day. That's a day off for you, Amanda. Yeah. Or is it? It is. Yeah. I wouldn't tell how it will be closed.
Yeah. I imagine that we would, you know, choose either a week following, you know, I don't see that we would want to meet on on holidays. No. Right. We wouldn't we won't meet on holidays.
Okay. especially if you're soliciting um uh you know citizen uh participation um you know public member you know folks attending the meetings because I'm sure that there's uh folks that get annoyed
when the town has meetings late in the day you know late in the day on holidays things like that you know even though this committee doesn't get involved in things that are controversial for the most part I think it's a good practice to stay away from
things like that and we will um I don't know this well we've never had a to my knowledge never had a meeting on a holiday we'll be able to get in here would you on a holiday
so okay so until Monday October 6 I guess that's We have a motion to adjourn the meeting at 5:44. So moved. So moved. Okay. Meeting. You second.
Yeah. Second it. Dean. It's kind of funny when I second it. Hey. Okay. I can do.
