Board of Selectmen Meeting

Video

say that I want to thank everybody last Friday, 250th celebration.
I thought the parade was spectacular.
I thought everything went off pretty down close without a hitch.
I guess we had a couple problems not pertaining to the road guards,
but pertaining to people approaching the road guards.
So I think that needs to be addressed maybe next year
as far as people who are getting onery and saying they were going to drive over the barricades.
Those are the reports that I got.
result.
Yeah.
It started as long.
It was a misunderstanding and replied.
On Todd Hill.
The people run is barriced.
Okay.
So we got resolved for people with just happy.
Okay.
That was really the only complaint I had over the whole night.
I thought the fireworks were great.
I thought it looked like everybody had a good time.
That's probably the biggest crowd I've ever seen in a night,
61 years of living here up at the comma.
I remember seeing that many people up there.
So I thought that was a great tribute.
to our 250th of the country.
I didn't see it.
I ran a barricade while long alone.
I have to tell you,
a transversation barricades pretty busy all the way along.
You just have to that.
The initiative of volunteers
bank and almost a hundred of them.
Yeah, I'm not going to try to name it because I'm on the sound.
No. But the
Chamber of Commerce said went a hundred.
Like herding all the kittens.
Yeah. Everyone involved.
I thought like the dedication to the liberty
thing was nice.
All night was.
very much enjoyed by
everybody. I didn't see anybody not having anything.
Yeah, I don't know a little less in a little bit.
He came out of an infected ear draw
out of that one.
Oh, the water looked a little cleaner this year.
He came out of the Hygerton, Jaffrey.
So the U.S. Senator's office
about the U.S. Postal Service
and the service that we received
within rage. I spoke with
Common Hill out of Jane Sheen's
office a couple of times.
He put me in touch.
I'm sorry, that it was Conny Hill, and he put
in touch with the United States Northeast, United States Consumer and Finance Director
and Joshua Scott called me at home.
They told him of all the problems that we have locally and nationally, but locally we have a problem.
He assured me he would work to try and fix this a little bit.
If any of you in the next week or two,
you see that the situation has gotten better or worse,
Please let me know.
It seems like every time they try to fix something, it makes things worse.
As in taking on mail, not sorting it within town and sending it to match.
Nashville to be, the injustice to be sorted and then shipping it back again,
which delay service at least by two days.
It's taken me over a week, in some cases, to mail within town.
And what I'm going to do is I'm going to wait about a week or two.
I'm not going to send a mail a letter.
post office blocks out here, two here, and see how long it takes to get here.
It's not going by postmarkets.
It's going to go out of the date.
I've mailed it.
Get postmarketing.
Josh was working on that.
I've got his number and we'll call him back and let him know.
And the efforts are working out.
Tom and myself?
Then I'll move on to the approval of payroll for 625, 2026 and 7-2-2020.
Is everyone going to be able to change?
chance to see both of those. Yes. I'll make a motion to approve 625, 2026. I'll have a second on that one.
Your motion is to correct line and go approval on both. Make a motion to approve both. We all have the same
question. All in favor? Aye. Aye. I'm staying. No vote. Two zero zero. Couch Pable,
and 7-2-2020.
And has everyone had a chance to look at the thoughts?
You looked at them just before we came.
I got one question.
I got a couple questions with their minds.
I wanted to, well, I was just curious if they actually need the money
for a better eat this month.
So I just thought we were going to start requesting that information
because Matt's got to address that.
I actually have a meeting on Monday at 10 a.m.
This afternoon, this afternoon, it's got it with Lisa Wiley.
That's going to be the first conversation about it.
And then she may point me or hand me off to someone else actually in their finance department,
or it might just be something I discussed with her.
I'd reach out to her and their chair, their second command person, who, next.
They're also should be providing us on training this month.
Because it probably goes like this.
They might get a big chunk this month.
Nothing but three months.
They're also going to the corner of the famous thing.
That's what my meeting is.
I don't have a problem with monthly, but it could be parking half of this this month.
Yes.
us an update on his meeting and it's his notes in the meeting he went to without
a concrete with an HMA and it appears that you don't have to pay those three percent
on the funds yes so that comes up a meaningful what you're just saying what
correct it could be we should be open with a new bond payment now that's an
annual payment topic within town that were consolidated said an annual payment
Craig did you know if I remember correctly yes it would be a
in regards to the law.
30,000 dollars, maybe.
Maybe a number I've read for it before.
Just one thing to look into, I'll make a motion to approve both, but look into that
$7,000.
I'll get some clarification on that.
Yeah.
Okay.
I think a motion to approve counts payable for 625, 2026 and 7-2226.
I have a second.
I'll second motion.
All in favor?
Aye.
Aye.
abstain.
No, go.
Two, zero, zero.
Right on, look at it out, six, ten, right on time.
We have minutes this week.
Do you want to make a motion, blah?
Has everyone seen it?
Has anyone seen the minutes?
I have.
I have.
17.
You want to hold off a table that?
We'll table that, but there's a whole bunch of
above the meeting, and it's the program.
This is a big one.
Right, the only one.
We can, because the only one of the list.
Let's open the public hearing
for the acceptance of unadicipated revenue pursued RSA 31-95-B-B Roman Rule 3A from the Ward Trust Fund for $35,000 to go towards the restoration of the Ridge Meeting House.
Who's going to speak to that?
As a trustee of the Ward Trust Fund, she might explain this.
Every year, the Ward Trust gives money for the maintenance of the Meeting House complex, which means the horsesheds, as well.
And this year, the trustees voted to give $35,000 to repair the roof on the orchards.
This is two years accumulated. We've been saving this.
So that still leaves $15,000, and I believe Tower of Gringe is going to pay half of that?
It's probably a little bit over that, but the Ward Trust will meet again the end of August, beginning of September.
There might be another $5,000, that would leave was $17,000, $15,000.
Right, so half town, half, and the church has.
Churches agreed to pay $75,000.
That's good.
What do we have $64,000 in the heating house?
They're giving us.
Right.
The funds.
Just the public areas, does anyone have anything that they're like to add to us?
I'll just add one thing.
It's, um, the Lord Trust Fund was left.
Bertrude and Ralph, the main house uses it.
us one, some interest every year, because the state was going to be spent immediately.
Then all of the things will be done that was on in the 2023 achievement in just a few years.
It's a nice looking building.
Yeah.
Who's plate grants from the state?
Public hearing at 6.15.
Thank you, Carl.
We're going to move on to old business, but we've seen no old business.
No, we accept that.
I'll let me have.
Yeah, we have a minute.
Sorry, I'll make a motion.
beta revenue from the amount of correct money.
I'll say 35,000.
All in favor?
All in favor? Aye.
Aye.
3.0.
If you don't have any.
New business.
English 1894 association to request
acceptance of funding for an ADA
compliance automatic door opener
pursuant to RSA 31
19.
The Eagles
1894 Association
in the library board of trustees on
manages to approve of us.
Is there, anyone here to speak to that?
Judy Younger, Clark, it's Gerald Grove,
President 1894 Association.
The last meeting
I was here,
I was discussed
the New Hampshire Gives program
and through
New Hampshire Gives and giving
Tuesday, we have raised funds
for the 1894 Association.
And we've been talking about this automatic door opener, the handicapped door opener.
That's the little blue button that you see when you go into public buildings.
It will be installed at the top of the handicapped ramp as you enter the lower section of the library.
And you'll press the button and the door will automatically open.
Not only will have helped elderly people, would have helped young families.
families, women coming in with strollers and kids, and towing bags of books and everything like that.
So we have a quote, and the quote is for the sum of $3,229, and the $18.99 will be putting forth the funds for this project.
Excuse me, do you say 3229?
3229.
The quote?
Yeah, I was confused by this.
I was confused by this. I think the, actually the motion should be to install it on the,
because they can't work on a town building. I mean, this is a town building. So there's a fine with funding.
Mike is in charge.
Mike is in charge. Yes, he, he's going to get the person.
To me, to me, tonight was all the one, except, you're just flying. One of two things, right? Either it's got the technology to program to lock in a certain.
time or it's just they have to get out of locking manually as it is right now.
So they're probably just got out of doing another.
Mike has worked very closely to this whole project and has gone over to Jaffrey Library.
Look at the nearest.
I think with the new security system, online, I think it, I'd like to make a motion to accept
$3,229 from the Eagles 1894 Association.
for funding for an ADA-compliant automatic door opener.
So as IRSA 31-19 installed at Eagles Memorial Library.
Second from Tom. All in favor?
Aye.
Thank you.
Presentation and request by Donald Wilson
regarding Lakeman Nomenac Watershed Management Plan.
Just an update on that?
10 minutes or so, hopefully.
What's that?
I'm about the presentation.
All right.
I don't have a PowerPoint inquiry.
It's a big thing.
It's going to do it.
Issues.
We all know that Lake of Mount Rock is a robust lake.
It's a build matter now.
It takes every buildable plan.
It's a building number.
If you took it to the maximum,
we'd have close to 7,000 buildings.
It's a mind-boggling number.
Now, these are, these are just models.
But nevertheless, it's...
Now, the question of what time frame will we do?
dealing with.
And they looked at the census numbers to...
The worst case scenario was 80 to 100 years.
This is one of the maps indicate the entire watershed,
about 12 sub-watersheds.
Basically, if you look at the current conditions,
you'll notice there's tan brown coloration,
and more coloration than that map
and more phosphorus there is in the watershed.
If you subtract the septic systems and lawns and roads and roofs,
and you get a certain,
back to what it might have been before there was adaptation in the area and you notice as well.
And that is, you know, the idea that would be placed the base of the baseline.
And if you look on all far right, the future, the build out of now, if we put it in another way,
right now, with the current coloration, moon days, here, and Lake Monon.
Over here in the future, we have about 314 moon days.
So it's an exercise, it's a planning tool.
tool to be used, but it's a nice demonstration.
I think in my mind right now, the watershed study,
the watershed survey that was done is a significant amount of information.
Now, this is a survey where FB.E.E.E.
came out and Nuclid Air basically showed them out.
A non-point source.
Now, this is important because show up on the
anything showing up is eligible for grant.
And that's why I'm here today.
At this point, the DES has just put out the invitation to apply for implementation grants.
What we had before was a grant to do the watershed study to find out what we needed to do.
Well, that's about complete.
Subsequent to those grants, or sister grants, they call them, in which implementation,
of where the, whereas the 604B granted,
virtually 100%.
These implementation brands now, 35 bucks an hour.
So anyway, there are ways to make up that.
These things, I think we're getting at this point,
in terms of the impact on phosphorus into the lake,
it's rated as a high impact area,
but it's only going to be a maximum,
that is another piece of paper, 13 brand.
So,
I'm told by my friends of DBS, that that would be a reasonable, I would say that there's a list.
For an area 119, there's a lot of growing as far as you know.
That's what I'm here for tonight, that it's just let you know what's happening.
The final report, it's going to be a public meeting to review the watershed report.
And that will be a number, once that public input is,
worked into the report, they'll go out to the final report.
This is, for instance, again, those non-point source areas
that have been identified.
That's the budget to do that.
At this point, we've also had a meeting
to decide what our water quality goal should be.
In other words, right now, we're working with phosphate
that's open the line, 12.1.2 or a million
I mean, but they suggest that we're at least working.
Reports indicate, one is the entire watershed counts that one,
74% of all the phosphorus comes from the entire water check,
and 14% comes from the septic system.
And then a few more for waterfowl or intrinsic.
The report, I think that costs is over, it doesn't come through to me,
The idea here is that every property around that lake can do something to reduce phosphate
getting into the lake.
Don't use fertilizer.
Control your school water runoff.
There's lots that any property over to do reduce philosophy.
We is a partner in association and focused on educating all the members of everybody around the lake
in ways to reduce.
The Lake Smart program by Indian Lakes is a crime.
is a crime product.
It's a wonderful.
The phosphate applies to the entire watershed.
All the water bodies in its watershed are under the same stresses.
So all these precautions that people can take,
and all these repairs that we can do on the non-point source areas will help.
All the lakes and ponds that we have at this point.
I'll open up the questions.
questions.
Mr. Momenac Road, where is that actually?
I want to give us GPS.
No, no.
No.
Is it down by Swan Point Road?
This is the watershed study gives us more...
I want to know where the gully is.
Gully 1-3, where are you talking?
That is close to the culvert, adjacent to the culvert,
closer to the...
Yeah, but it's suffered, I mean, it's been washed.
That's what Mike told the...
I told the focus on Mike's list to say you need to refer to say.
It was just two years ago, right?
Yeah.
Three and eighty?
Three and eighty?
That's a big colder right there about it takes course.
Yeah, I think so.
Let me ask for another thing.
We've got past, current, and future.
Yeah.
And you were talking that some of these figures are talking
80 to 100 years from now.
That gave us...
And others were...
So was this...
100 years from now?
Well, they gave us three ranges.
It could happen, we can get there in 80 years,
or we'd get there 400 years.
So which one is this?
That is the maximum, whether you get there in 80 years
or you get there at 400 years, that's the worst you can get.
So they don't know this.
They're not giving us, you know...
This would take 80 to 100 years to occur.
Minim, or 400.
All right.
So this one.
That's what it was before human habitation.
The habitation Eastman was not there.
Right.
Well, that's true, too, but...
What was that?
What year was that?
Yeah.
No, the point is that it's a hell of a lot of us.
Again, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a model to be used for planting.
This is a false comparison, though.
Well...
This could have been prior to the lake you would be in there.
Yeah.
And then drop out later on the bottom.
And just look at the brink.
That's really the lake is there.
You know, it's contributing more phosphorus to the whole watershed.
It ends up in the lake.
But the coloration around the entire watershed.
If this fact of this would require projects all over this whole watershed.
Yeah, we'll never get there unless we wipe out the entire water.
All of this is human habitat.
Yeah.
All that's from human...
The question of mediation, where does that have committed to tell?
The mediation.
Well, like your grant, your mediation, what does that entail just replacing that pass through underneath?
Well, the watersheds, put more grip wrap in there, fill in there, and then plant.
Salt resistance, and they have these things in their playbook, so they can rebuilds.
Kind of create an absorption.
Exactly.
And the plants also, you know, hold the soil in place, so they're resistant to.
Yeah.
Well, it sounds like a pretty, just for one culder, that sounds like a pretty extensive construction project.
If you start to plant vegetation, you bring in rip wrap, and it's not a matter of just replace the culver.
No, no, I don't work that whole there.
So I guess, I guess looking at a standpoint of our DPW crew, I'm not sure when they're going to be working on all the stuff and still take care of us in the whole town.
Well, again, this is the start of a grant process.
of a grant process.
Yeah, the grant money is not an issue at this point.
Time is the issue.
Well, my point about time is that it's not going to take,
it's not going to be next month, I get a grant.
It's going to be next year if I'm lucky.
It's a big, good, big involved.
I mean time as far as that DPW crew.
Well, they have one specific area.
Excuse me.
They don't have just one specific area in the town of a ridge,
they have to concentrate, which is like monomone.
Right?
They have the whole town of ridge.
take care of. That's pretty extensive in itself.
Right? So I mean, I guess that's what, I mean, I understand you live on the lake and everything,
but I guess, I guess what you're, the bottom line what you're asking for is,
is to dedicate the DPW for however long it takes to take care of Lake Mono
while the rest of the time is it got other projects done.
We only have so many people on DPW for so many hours a day to do.
We're looking at one project, and I wish Mike were here to talk about what might be involved.
what might be involved in terms of doing that one project,
but it's on his to-do list, and that's why it's on that list.
So, you know, and you get money to do on that,
or you don't get money to doing a lot of the other projects he has on his list.
I'm asking for all 20 right off the bat.
I don't have time to do 20 grant applications.
This is a 10-year project.
I might get through 20 grand applications in 10 years.
But, you know, this is step one.
I want to get moved on it, because we have some momentum going here.
going here. We've got a good study.
So this is a pretty good size collar I'm taking because the antrofishing name is involved
in that.
So there must be a pretty good flow of that collar.
Otherwise, the antrrafish and gate would be involved in that.
There's a marsh behind it, which is what is wide.
And then they put it through, they replaced it in,
and put strung in here.
I got one question.
I'm looking at your current.
I hear and I can't, I don't have my magnifying glass, but maybe.
They can identify the northern parts of this.
It's interesting that this area is in dark.
You've got little crowcroft and crowcroft.
That's quotebook.
Okay.
These are...
It's interesting that this one is actually already in the dark.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It corresponds to the goat.
This is all through to zoom on that thing.
Or anything from this top of this home goes to crowcroft.
So it's interesting that that is a source, you know, a very low, uphill source, that is not directly goes to the lake.
It's going to permeate further south.
Well, you know, there's a street from there to quok-off pond.
Right.
Right into the lake.
I'm aware.
It's interesting to see that that's...
Yeah.
The headwater, so to speak, is already in the high excess.
So this is, there's lots of little things that have to be addressed.
There's no one big issue that can be fixed to fix the problem.
It's hundreds and hundreds of piece of pieces that have to be addressed,
and many of them belong to private owners around the lake,
but there's lots in the watershed that can be addressed as well.
And beyond that, addressing these things helps the rest of the watershed.
watershed.
It's just got other lakes and comments there.
It's something that really is named a watershed study for a reason.
We're talking about this whole area.
It's really funny screening lines.
40% of this identified points are owned by the ton of ridge.
Half of that 40% are on the high of this data.
Well, hopefully...
It's...
Well, we as a group of me, the MLT...
Yeah, well, I'm going to ask them for help too.
But the monomlock property owners are offering
help volunteer time to chase down these grants.
And it's lots of little pieces of paperwork they want to make this happen.
So we're offering time and effort to make this happen.
to make this happen.
And again, it's for the benefit of the entire watershed,
which happens to end up in Mononaut.
But before it ends up in Mononaut, it's in everybody's backyard.
What is this current raiding of the lake mill?
Well, it's still mesotrophic.
It's considered impaired.
They did a study of Arbor Lakes
and it's impaired because of it's a little less of pH,
chlorophyll, and the presence of cyanobacteriopoxy.
antibacteria toxins.
Yeah.
Then they hit this for milfoil as well, but we're almost completely on top of the milk oil.
And that's because of a new...
The treatment.
Yeah, the procellular was a new herbicide.
It's very effective against the milk oil.
No oil pretty persistent.
It never completely goes away, but we're, you know, pretty much on top of that for now.
I can personally attest that the late,
from the late 70s, early age, is nothing like...
It's almost brown compared...
I want to turn a bot cycle.
We've got to live around the way.
It's pretty interesting, so...
Sounds like, get a sense from you, gentlemen,
that it's okay for us to, you know,
put forth the effort and try and go after the grant of the...
You're asking to apply for it would require
volunteer work to cover the...
But the effort you spent,
The guys they work on, the hours that they put in the material you have, that is kind of towards your kind as well.
That's the problem in what we brought it up.
The materials of the machine and the time that we have, we don't have that.
That's not something we dedicate telling employees to do.
We still have to pay everyone to do that work.
But you're getting reimbursed, like your 60% of the cost of doing that is in that grant.
You're getting money to do it.
60%?
60%.
Right.
The taxpayers are on the hope for the other four.
The taxpayers are on the hope for the end 100% other list.
Well, they choose to do it.
Well, again, that's how nice to do this.
I'd like to talk to Mike about that, because I'm not necessarily
call this a to-do list.
I'm thinking you wrote around me and said,
you know what?
You know, at some point in time this might have to get fixed.
At some point in time, we might have to look at this,
but I'm not so sure it's an actual to do list.
I'd like to talk to Michael a little bit about that.
Well, we should have been here so we can talk about three of us so that we can get the list.
Invite us along too.
I think, personally, I mean, I think these guys raised all the money to get at this.
This is pretty something.
Right off with $75,000 bucks, we put $10,000 towards it.
Right.
And then on top of that, we have $25,000 with a volunteer time into this.
And I think, um, all of them they can say that, you know,
the cruise, when we get to it, it's going to be able to get to it,
maybe two years and we might not even see a grant, but across the bridge we'll get to it.
The potential of turning one of our biggest resources in rich into dead ponds.
And I'm saying it could be 20 years from now, 30 years from now,
but if we don't start addressing it,
of which these folks are trying to do, I don't think it hurts us to have them go and try to seek grants.
And we cross the bridge about costs and things when something comes down.
something comes down the road and we'll get to the other side of it.
When we have to cross that church.
They have private citizens, we can't tell them that I can't go.
Well, I think we, we...
But the grant would be for the benefit of the town.
The grand would be for the benefit of people in your watershed area, not the town.
Okay, I get it, but I get it.
You live on the lake.
You want the town to designate everything that they can to get your lake cleaned up.
What about Lake who took it? What about Pool Park?
It's all that.
It's all that.
They're all in this water.
I had here, a copy of vision statement.
I think you're quoting.
What?
What?
It's not in that.
It's not in that way.
The mission statement is preserved and protect the water quality of the water resource.
Preserve and protect the water quality of the water resources.
Well, here we are.
This does.
This is right in line with your water.
Right in line with your vision.
I think all of us on those boards, Sarah,
would like to see the best forage.
Good.
But we only have so much money that we can work with.
And we are bringing you more.
I bet you there's people sitting in this room right now
they're going to complain about their taxes
because of their payments.
If we stop doing this and spend an extra money on this stuff,
inevitably, people's taxes are going to go on.
Well, I think this is...
Somebody's got to pay for money.
That's all such thing is a free lunch.
I would disagree with you about extra money.
Because this is money that,
along the way, the town is obligated to maintain the roads and the culverts and the roadblocks.
So...
Are you able to travel this road right now?
You're able to travel that road right now?
It's part of our master plans, you know?
Protect our natural resources.
Protect the natural resources.
That's our guiding way for everything we do with us.
Well, you know, this is help.
This is my natural help to do that.
It is administrative help to do this.
I got to go on my theater.
Well, I hate to cut this off, but I got to, like, said 10 minutes, it's been 30 minutes.
So I'd really like to move this a lot.
I appreciate you're coming in.
At this point, I can't stop you.
I don't know if this board can say, no, you can't go out and get rid.
You're a private citizen.
If you want to go out with the branch, you can do that all the long.
Whether or no.
I'm here.
Let you guys know that this is an option.
Okay.
And, I think it would be good for the cold watershed in the whole time.
And I think it would be good for the cold watershed.
And we're willing to do the work to see it come about.
But not if you guys are going to say, well, you know, you'll think about it.
You know, this is a hell of a lot of work here.
Again, I just thought where the money's coming from.
Well, I can't suggest something to be here or something.
We agreed with them when they went, they came to us to get this study done.
And I think we thought it was a good deal when we did it.
We said a year and a half ago, we've done almost two years.
Now we're not going to support the effort to support them in their effort.
Not telling them that they can't do that.
No, but I think the key is to have support.
And that was a key element of getting this first time.
In fact, one of the things that they like to see if we apply for a grant
is a letter of support from you guys.
In fact, one of the, you guys are eligible to apply for the grant.
for the grant.
And we could do the paperwork, you put your name on the grant.
All good, I think we should be, we should go to looking.
That's all of us.
May I ask?
35 years.
Thank you for coming in.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Very interesting.
When will the whole report be ready?
Delivered to the public and on the public.
I was told.
This year.
We'll be the public.
But we'll see.
Let's see what he says.
might have been on the list to fund them.
We've all signed us already.
Review and signed.
All right on the agenda.
We've already reviewed 25
abatement recommendations and make the decision.
We've already reviewed these.
We've already gone to them and sign them.
I make a motion that the following lots
application for abatement are denied.

Back up to Victoria, Nap 6, did I say lot of 23, or 3?
You lost me quite a lot.
Oh, I thought I was going slow, too.
I was not going to take that all 23.
I did say 23.
Sorry, I thought I was going.
It's easier to write, honestly, with those months.
I will go a little slow.
I will, I can go less.
Still denied.

7.
5.5.
9 Eden Road.
There's still boatload.
There's still boatload.
How many still are outstanding?
Like $125 or something like that?
Actually, much less we got about 40 in at the very end of the day yesterday and just wasn't
enough time.
We're definitely under less than half at this point.
So I guess my next question would be not from an abatement standpoint, if there's money in there.
I think it's all inclusive.
And that's why the cost of the fifth year is so insorbent relative to the other four years, because
it's part of...
expect that's part of their...
So it's different than the contract that's in your final?
I'm not sure.
I'd have to look at it for sure.
That was my understanding of it.
We're going to have to pull that up and look at it in the way...
That's for the ones that if the board,
if the board disagrees with the things we need to do what's right,
we're not going to be concerned about.
We need to make sure the value, concerned about the cost of abating these things
or sending someone there just to, you know, be concerned and take step back
because of the cost, we have to do what's right by the time
by the town and have consistent uniform values throughout the town.
Right.
That they've worked with.
But just to clarify for the record, it could be a question about how people are interpreting the contract
because I know that I spoke with Avatar very recently to confirm this when we were kind of exploring this,
because I like having all my faces covered, but I'll take a look at it as well.
Any other?
There's a couple of items doing that adjourned.
maybe from Max to you have some.
So you have some inside information that wasn't brought up in the other meetings and, you know,
I can live stream them, so I see what's going on.
I understand that, but I can mention it also.
I'm trying to work myself as something in there.
I'm trying to just do a service.
And I try to get some of the meeting.
It's the end of Westfini Hill Road.
It hasn't gone before the planning board yet.
Okay.
amount subdivided six into six lots up in West Benile Road into Whipswich.
Yes, since it, yeah.
It's not on the agenda.
I remember Ace or Main Street, it's not on the agenda,
but I was going to ask for some leeway.
I just heard about this.
I thought it was a good time.
Yeah, no, I just heard about this yesterday.
There's a proposed six-lot subdivision on West Benny Hill Road.
Into Whipswich, they do not provide.
They do not provide anything.
It is a classic scattering furniture.
They do not do the road.
We are first responders for police and fire.
And the school, you need to get all the department in the line
so that Ringe opposes.
It's not going to be considered regional.
It's only six.
It should be.
Well, it's in New Whipswich.
It's in New Whipswich.
We plow it.
Ringe.
Plows, grades.
Yeah.
only so far, only to that last house.
That's a new whip switch.
It's one mile long.
Anyway, yeah, it's a problem.
If you were five, too, I can...
Yeah, I'm wondering why we're involved in that way.
Well, it does happen in a few places, like the end of what about...
Historically, there were three houses on...
It's not real passable.
It's all grown in.
Ten years ago, so if that person had been at the top of the hill,
I would kill you them because it's the most terrifying five minutes of mine.
back down, you can't turn around.
Like that one said, you're going to spend.
Thank you.
Okay. Citizens Forum
just remind everybody to keep Substance Forum
from the gender items.
Roberta's already the vocal voice one, but
you're going to finish off to hear me.
Robert Eastern and East and East Street. I'm curious.
A good requests?
Yeah.
Because one of them, I know this is an appraisal
attached. The differences.
Well, that's... And they're not going to go
to B-TLA. They're going to talk to
King and Harps.
That's right, right? They got
two runies.
NTLA or court?
Yeah, but I mean, I've just looked at...
Yeah, I mean, it's a chair down.
My view point on these abatements
are, I am not
a personal assessment. I don't think any one of us are.
We hire an assessing for them to do that
assessing job because we cannot.
If we make the mistake and see
something to say, we'll go to the avatar all the way,
which is my judgment,
I use it. Their assessor, I'm not.
If they don't like that outcome,
They have two avenues to go with the TLA and poor.
Yeah, when you get an appraisal done,
because mass appraisals are totally different
than individual, and
generally an individual appraisal
for the market value
overrides mass appraisals
because they
ever run this property, but
I know that
the prasels done, I'm like, we'd be very expensive
for the town. That's why, you know, you may want to talk to
these, but if they've got appraisals,
it'd probably stand up with BTL.
All of it.
My understanding.
They're not attorneys.
I said here to be one of the recommendations.
That's when we're on the hook.
Correct.
If you don't disagree with them,
and grant in abatement, there's nothing to represent.
It's pretty hard to defend individual appraisals.
Correct.
I will not disagree.
Victoria was one of them.
While I used to what was another.
Rob Cherk was enough.
You had a whole big room.
Half a age, there.
Still, there's...
get there.
I think if we do that, we need to, it has to be worded in a way that...
This is the chamber, but make sure that, you know,
obviously, you can't call out everybody's name because you're going to sell it.
Every volunteer that was involved.
I said, I'm busy.
We've got to go to the building's department,
and all that, and probably should come.
He's got to put that before he's going to
look at that, cut out the weeds, pull the weeds,
trim the
bushes down, get it so on to a point that we can see dirt, mulch it, and put in some proper
block.
We've done at least once and see if we can maintain it at that point.
I have more gloves.
Bonds, bees, two weeks ago, it was probably 5,000 bees, you know,
that the flowers and kind of off.
He's out of the disease expert project.
He's going to have to learn how to make things so for the rest.
I'm not sure that that's permanent enough.
enough project because I mean that's what it's supposed to be as a permanent
project for Eagle Scout.
No, so permanent.
He's got to run by his scalp house.
He took care of the smallpox cemetery,
and clean that all up.
He has since, he had to leave town.
He's moving in New York right now because he's in Westmore.
He's in Beesbair.
Kyle Pollyne.
All right, Paul.
Fitzgerald wrote.
I heard Don Wilson's presentation tonight.
I really urge a lot of board to fully embrace a town-wide watershed project.
Leave what he's saying.
It's not just one lake.
We have so many bodies of water and are responsible for what go.
Secondly, I can I do remember that?
All right, that's it.
We have the information.
language communications and updates.
Meeting and none.
Meeting is adjourned.
Yeah, then you want to give us.
