I pledge allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, to the Republic of which
it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
You're all going to wonder why you're standing over there.
Because I just came back.
Because you're sensitive to me.
Because you're sensitive to me.
All right.
Let's start with Cindy Kisselberg.
Did you see her?
No.
I haven't seen her.
I'll discuss it.
We got some timber tax.
I have to sign some forms there.
One form.
And some vouchers for the trustees.
They're meaning next week or a couple of weeks or whatever.
Quite a few are.
Quite a few.
Many vouchers.
Three vouchers.
I don't think I have to get through each one of them there.

So this one we are going to be selling to the Carroll County Sheriff Department.
So that will be going next week?
That will be going probably tomorrow afternoon.
That is the title.
We need to sign that for the end of the day.
We have to sign that.
Let's do that now before we forget.
I want to get rid of that.
Make sure you do it on the right spot.
Because it took us a hot minute to get that baby.
All of us have to sign that?
Why don't we designate our town administrator to sign it?
I don't see why not.
So we will need the true mileage on it.
The odometer reading and so forth.
Have you ever done a New Hampshire title before?
No.
Yeah.
Just, it's amazing.
And I mean no offense, but this is amazing how confusing that can be about, you know, what's
mine.
Yeah.
Exactly.
So this one right here, right?
Negative.
Okay.
Try again.
No.
This one?
I got three choices.
Oh.
Yes.
Yes.
Sorry.
That was it.
That was it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Got that?
Got it.
Let me assign that, I think.
Is there a signature?
No.
Okay.
It's a good one.
It's a good one.
It's a good one.
It's a good one.
It's a good one.
Let me assign that, I think.
Is there a signature?
No.
No.
Okay.
It's a good one.
It's a good one.
Let's just pay for it.
Make sure everything stays together.
Yes.
Make sure everything stays together.
Yes.
Make a motion.
Where's my agenda?
Anything else in the mail?
Yeah.
I'm just looking to, I see the manifest, review mail, Sluckman reports, yes.
Board of Selectants meeting minutes.
It's not on here, but make a motion to approve the Board of Selectants minutes, dated August
18, 2026.
I second.
All in favor?
Aye.
Aye.
Aye.
John Hancock on that answer.
Oh, this is all Green Mountain?
Yeah.
The health officer?
I've never seen those comments before.
Is this on the ownership?
So, I'm assuming there's copies for everybody?
There's many, many.
Thank you.
I can't recall if I may copy.
So, basically what they're doing is they're staying under the same ownership, but they're
just restructuring.
The state is making them fill those out.
There's two different...
There's two different, yeah, there's two different forms.
There's two different chapters and sections, I guess.
Yeah.
I did see that.
One's for a healthcare facility and one's for a treatment facility.
No.
No.
One is like 407 or something.
Yeah, I wrote them on the...
Yeah.
Any other forms?
This was 826 and 807.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, the different forms.
I made an 8-0-7.
I got a lot of 8-0-7s.
Yeah, I made copies for everybody.
Where are you seeing it?
8-0-7.
Okay, thank you.
Yeah.
So this is 826.
So can I have one of the 8-0-7s?
And then these are basically just copies for the three of us.
Yeah, because the planning department has to sign off on it in the building.
There should be a second page attached to it.
Yeah.
So if you want to...
Yeah.
Right here.
That's for your review.
That's another 8-0-6 for those issues.
There's an extra 8-0-7 here.
So you had 4 copies.
I think I made 4-0-1 for JT.
Yeah.
Should be an 8.
That's mine.
Uh, nope.
I have one of the 8-0-7.
Nope.
I get two 8-0-6s.
He's on post.
So you can give these to JT.
And then JT, when I sign the original, you can sign that same way to email them to me.
I can see why.
Okay.
More paperwork.
That's it for signatures.
Thank God.
Make a motion to approve the manifest dated August 20, 2026 in the amount of $35,153.71.
I'll second.
Discussions.
Seeing none.
All in favor.
Aye.
Make a motion to approve the manifest dated September 3, 2026 in the amount of $25,805.58.
I'll second.
Discussions.
Seeing none.
All in favor.
Aye.
Aye.
Aye.
Confused you, eh?
Discussions.
I like those low figures, too.
Fantastic.
Thank you.
I was surprised.
Pleasantly surprised.
Thank you.
Uh, ooh.
Mr. Lee, we're singing.
This is public.
Oh, just a meeting for a health trust.
Health trust.
Um.
Health trust.
Isn't that the, uh.
It's our insurance care.
Of course.
Yeah.
I'm not sure if you want to attend that or.
Did you see the enthusiasm that he presented there?
I'll leave it up to you.
I think he's got enough of this.
I'll also have a ballot.
Oh.
If I've ever seen it before.
Yeah, I've never seen one like this.
And maybe it's.
For assessing the officials for the 2027 election, election ballot.
So, we're supposed to nominate.
Each town nominates a candidate.
Oh.
Yeah.
Carroll County.
I guess you don't have a choice.
Or you can write in a candidate if you want.
So.
Okay.
You want to.
Yeah.
It seems like a chairman.
I'll let you do it.
I'll let you do it.
Okay.
And, you know, I don't know if you want to run that by Elena.
See if she has any input.
Okay.
On.
Maybe she's had a dealing with some of these assessment folks before.
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
Got an email from Stan.
How do you say that?
Stan.
How do you say that?
Stan.
The landfill.
Stan tech.
Stan tech.
Donald Moore.
Yeah.
Matter of fact, they were there Tuesday.
Doing.
The guy was there taking all the samples from all the wells and everything else.
So.
Nice guy.
Just.
If I may just.
Sure, please.
The three downgrading parameters, KC 40, 41, and 42, are determined they can be sampled.
So things are looking positive.
That's what he told me.
So.
It was very positive.
That's what he told me.
So.
It was very positive.
Yeah.
It was very positive.
Yeah.
It was very positive.
It was very positive.
Yeah.
That's what he told me.
So.
It was very positive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was very positive.
Yeah.
It was very positive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was very positive.
Yeah.
And then we got the Province Lake Association requesting their 3,000 bucks that was approved at a town
meeting for Milford.
Milford?
Milford.
The watershed.
Yeah.
The watershed.
Yeah.
So we did that.
Business?
I don't know.
We did business.
Here we go.
You can.
I don't know.
It's up to you.
Okay.
Okay.
Fair enough.
So let me just record.
Okay.
Um.
Besides several meetings on our cleaning board and all of the other things.
Um.
Working in the office.
I've been helping out in the office as much as I can.
Trying to get everything up to par.
Um.
Looking at the budget sheets and filling in all of that.
Um.
We did have interviews.
Um.
Let me see.
We had.
I attended the voter works testing.
I think I forgot about that.
It went very well.
Um.
It was myself, Andrea, Deanna, and Jim Pittman.
Okay.
So we went through the whole process so that it will work wonderfully comes election day.
Um.
And it did work very well.
Mickey Mouse got a lot of votes.
You know, as you do the testing, you're putting through papers and such.
Uh.
So it would.
It should work very well and go very easily.
Not like last time.
There was a little bit of a glitch.
The first time we used it, the rollers got gumped up.
Yeah.
So it had to be cleaned.
Uh.
So we made sure the rollers were clean and everything was top notch.
We had all of the forms.
Everything was documented.
Um.
So we're ready to go.
We're ready to go.
Sorry.
That's okay.
Um.
And we're ready to go.
I know that we're working on Friday for the setup, as Jim indicated, because the way --
That's at 2:30.
Yeah, it's going to be Friday.
Yeah.
Make sure we get the keys or we use a boat cutter.
Yes.
To get the stuff set up at the school due to labor day.
And that's it for me.
Unless I think of something later.
Yeah.
I'm getting to be like you.
Yeah.
Uh.
So on that topic.
Um.
I'm getting the key for the box tomorrow.
Awesome.
Good.
When I deliver the title.
Should we just get that one key or all the keys that --
Negative.
Because they want the key to the --
How many keys are there?
So we secured the evidence keys to the evidence lockers at the Sheriff's Department.
And they, with the anticipation, they anticipate sooner or later that they're going to be able to go and be able to do that.
I'm getting to be like you.
Yeah.
I'm getting to be like you.
Yeah.
So on that topic, I'm getting the key for the box tomorrow.
Awesome.
Good.
When I deliver the title.
Should we just get that one key or all the keys that --
Negative.
Because they want the key to the --
How many keys are there?
So we secured the evidence keys to the evidence lockers at the Sheriff's Department.
And they, with the anticipation --
They anticipate sooner or later doing an inventory of the evidence.
Okay.
That key was inadvertently turned in by me when I gave them to the --
Or when the deputy came and picked them up.
It was actually recommended that I didn't drive them because that still violated the chain of custody.
So the deputy came here and picked them up.
So I'll get that specific key back tomorrow.
On that topic, so we're all on the same page.
We get ready for Friday because I'll be here.
Mm-hmm.
Are we going with the metal bin voting booths?
I know how to erect those.
I've been doing them for --
I'm well-practiced through the town of Austin, the elections.
What did you use last time?
So we used the circle one, the table tops, and that sort of thing.
Because there was only one person that was, you know, efficient in setting up the old style of, you know, voting booths.
Mm-hmm.
And that was Randy from Randy Burbank.
So this takes up a lot less space.
It creates a wall.
We can actually set them up where that rope is because that actually creates a wall because there's a back to them.
Right.
And --
We have those here?
We do.
We do.
We never use them.
We never use them because --
That's why we're trying to --
Okay.
We go in the shed or whatever, and they went out back.
I said, why don't we use these?
Right.
And they said, you know, it was always said nobody knows how to set them up.
Well, I know how to set them up.
So --
Okay.
So we should use them.
Okay.
And then as long as it's okay with the school -- and I've thought this many, many times.
If I put that stuff in the back of my truck, I can back right up to the double doors in the back of the gym.
I don't know why we go the sidewalk all the way through the lobby, all the way through the double entrance and stuff like that.
There are two sets of double doors in the back of the gym.
Right there.
You're at the gym.
So the Ford can back up there.
Yeah.
And if you want to use your truck, I can push it back up.
I know you were taking it for a comeback.
I think we should use them if we haven't.
You know how to put them together.
It's on topic.
I'm sorry.
On the topic of the conics, in concert with the sheriff's office, how would the board feel about taking the law enforcement records?
Out of the conics, securing them in the PD, so that we can then use the conics for actual storage.
I do.
And not have to worry about security compliance and all that opening it in the future.
That makes sense.
There's only a couple boxes in there.
Yeah, we can just put it.
There's plenty of room in the PD, especially now.
So just secure it in there with everything else.
Mm-hmm.
We can do that.
You're going to be around Friday?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We can do all that at the same time.
Okay.
You have...
Yeah, okay.
Outside of that, per my, at the last meeting, whatever, I went to put the signage up on Jack Russell Road, and obviously in the heat of the moment, trying to get back here, got the signs out of storage, went up to Jack Russell Road to put up the new signs, and I didn't have to.
They're all there.
So there is a dead end road sign, and there is a classics road begins here, not town maintained.
Huh.
So obviously in the emergent situation and trying to hurry back, obviously when we came out, we're facing a opposite direction.
Or no, we didn't even come out that way.
Well, we did, but...
So the signage is there.
Okay.
I'm going to call for an update on the sign order.
There was some miscommunication.
They emailed the invoices, and for whatever reason, there was a 30-day delay in the payment.
So, consequently, WorkSafe was holding out order, so it should be done.
All the sign orders, which includes the little orange flags for the local traffic only, just another deterrent.
I was really hoping, and maybe it still will, if it's ready this week, I can go down Friday morning and get that stuff and maybe get some of the flags up.
I do know, yes, there are some people that feel that it's not effective, but I feel like there is, you know, been a significant decrease in the traffic.
I agree.
At least the traffic build-up.
I don't know if you live on that road, as it been.
I don't feel like it's changed, or it's changed very little, just based on my observations.
I just know on a Sunday afternoon, if you want to go to Hannaford, you don't have to...
It's not backed up to Camp David like it was today.
So, but...
And on that topic, did we have any success with Google or Maps?
Not yet, I haven't yet.
Thank you.
Thank you.
The weather has held up fairly well as far as the roads maintaining.
They're in pretty good shape.
I do know, or it's my understanding that you two visited the bridge.
That's coming along.
It is.
That's some job.
That's good, yeah.
Oh, it looks good.
It's good.
No, never mind my facial expression.
Yeah.
So, the...
As of yesterday, the rebar...
Excuse me.
What day is it?
Tuesday.
As of Sunday, the rebar was almost all tied in.
So, it's progressing nicely, so...
Drilling the holes is a pain, I guess.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
And obviously, you guys know that they started picking away at the bank, at the library, and
moving forward with that.
Yes.
I believe it had a schedule.
It is.
Yes.
Because when Chuck was here, I thought they had earmarked somewhere around the 15th or something.
Well, I guess when I was talking to Ellie's wife...
Aaron.
Aaron.
Aaron.
You know, there was too many people working at the bridge, so they were just putting up
this...
The rebar.
Yeah.
So, they basically send these to the...
Yep.
Clear the bank out.
You've got the trees down.
Yep.
And it's all dusty.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, it is. It's all sand. It's a bank. Yeah. Oh, yeah. There's one big boulder they took out, though. Yeah. We might have to push it up against the wall. So. It looked good. Yeah. The only thing that's... I don't know, is... Are we gonna... Should we leave it dirt? Or should we put a layer of gravel on top? Because people are gonna drive out there.
Don't say clean it all up. Especially if it gets the rainstorm. So as prone as I am to being a wise guy, I will refrain from being a wise guy right now. So it's live sand. So you want to top it with some, what, three-quarter inch and a half gravel to make it more stable. I agree. It's some type of coating. I understand what you're saying. If you get it loaded. For fill. That's all it is. Yeah. Okay.
I don't know. Just this discussion. Right. You'd have to probably have to put a barrier up to avoid people driving in there. I mean, the intent was for additional parking anyway, correct?
I agree. But... Yeah, that was the intent. But that initial investment was, you know, $4,000, but just really removing the bank and the trees. There's no discussion of a base.
Okay. So what I'll do is I'll ask, you want me to get a price? A quote?
Yes, it's a town property. Put gravel on it?
Yeah, it's a town property.
Yeah, we'll do that.
But we probably want to do that prior to, well, we don't want to do it until they take the pole down.
Right.
Right.
Correct.
Right.
And then you might have to go down a little further, deeper, about four, how much, three inches, four inches, stone?
Or stone?
Stone or gravel?
Whatever you want to put down.
I mean, we're going to probably, I mean, if it's live sand, live, live sand, you're going to want at least three or four inches, whatever.
Otherwise, it's just going to sink into that.
Yeah.
Agreed.
Yeah.
Okay.
Good.
I'll get a price and I'll get back to it.
I'll let Stephen know and then he can disperse that information.
We can go from there.
That's basically all I have right now, I think.
Okay.
Great.
Thank you.
Yeah, last week was, yeah, a little busy.
And budget meeting went well, so it was good.
We did hire a new zoning officer, Stan.
Drillard.
Drillard.
So he'll be here tonight with Rebecca's doing the training.
I guess it was a good time we can mention something about the financial, looking for a financial administrator.
Thank you for that.
That's good.
Hold the new quote.
All right.
As far as looking for a financial administrator, we are next week, right?
Yeah, next week.
Yeah.
So our financial administrator is going to be done next Thursday.
Thursday.
Thursday.
Yes.
So we'll be posting up on the sites to looking for a new, it's going to be a different terminology.
Finance person.
Finance person.
To fill in the position.
That's all.
Oh, yeah.
Landfill doing, Recycle Center is doing great.
Brad's doing an awesome job.
And I think Lenny will be back tomorrow.
So we'll be good.
Okay.
Stan, do you have anything to report?
Stan?
Oh.
Stan.
Steven.
You're still on the.
I know.
Steven, Stan.
I don't.
Okay.
Great.
Usually we have a section there for you to provide a report in there too.
Yeah, so you get a pass this week.
The next week you'll be on the Hawks.
Are you ready to run yet?
Are you excited about the opportunity and learning a lot?
I'm learning a lot.
Very excited.
There's a lot to learn.
A lot to get done.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We'll skip zoning and let Rebecca know and start coming in.
And we'll go on with you first.
All right.
Great team.
What is that, Ray?
Go on to me.
There you go.
One thing it says it's basically for 2025, the acreage, possibly acreage.
What day I could say.
What does that say, though?
That I have no clue.
Hi, J.K.
Alright, 37 calls for the month of August.
Another busy month.
We are down a few from last year.
Last year we were at 42.
Year-to-date we're at 314 calls.
2025, year-to-date we're at 251.
So we are up quite a bit overall, about 20% or so increase over last year and year-to-date.
So the majority are medical, I'm assuming?
There's actually, there are a pretty wide variety.
The first of this year we changed, the federal government changed their reporting software for the fire departments.
They used to be called NIFERS, now it's NEARIS.
So everything is different between the two, so putting call types side-by-side is almost impossible because everything changed.
So I can't really compare the two at the moment, but I'm working on a solution.
I have to be able to actually compare call types year-over-year.
Notable calls for the month, we did respond mutually to one of our surrounding communities for our water rescue.
Unfortunately, the individual did not survive.
We did provide an ALS intercept into another town, actually had five ambulances out and only had an EMT on the truck.
So I went over as an advanced EMT and provided advanced life support for them.
We responded mutually over into Maine for an ATV crash, and unfortunately that individual did not survive.
And we responded to a hazmat call in town with some cleaning chemicals that were mixed together that caused some illness in the house.
Other than that, routine is enough.
Questions?
Just a call, but I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
The unfortunate calls you guys had, everybody's doing okay?
Everybody's doing okay.
Yeah, we've been checking on everybody and making sure everybody's doing well.
Okay, thank you.
So far, so good.
A couple comments.
The tanker, still hoping for completion within the next couple of weeks.
We're still on track for that.
Yeah, bad lighting.
Not exactly, but I've been keeping on top of that.
Oh, kind of.
Kind of.
There is an email.
There is an email.
You're an email.
So I've been keeping in communication with them about the progress so far.
I know they are still waiting for some parts to come in.
That's delaying them, if you will.
They're working on other stuff.
But for full completion, there are some parts they're still waiting for.
It might be a situation where these couple of parts, they can deliver the truck.
When the parts come in, they'll come down and put them on, that kind of a situation.
So hopefully, by the end of September, we'll have our tanker back.
Do you have room for it?
We do.
We do.
We do.
We're going to be working through making the changes to the truck we bought from Conway
to get that up into Station 1, 4XL.
How about the heater?
We will need to move the heater.
We did also get the generator installed up there.
So I talked to Todd and Jeremy.
I can't remember which one's which.
I talked to Todd.
Hopefully, he'll be in by the end of the week to come take a look.
So we'll have him fix the piping for the heater and run the piping for the generator all at the same time.
So that'll square all that stuff away.
Piping for the generator.
Oh, for the problem with gas.
Propane, yeah.
The other thing, Caitlin was the secondary E-901 person.
The state is looking for a replacement.
I don't want to volunteer anybody.
I'm sorry.
Why didn't you say you were site once?
Well, let me ask you this.
What about you or any assistant?
Is she?
That's up to him.
You know, there's not a whole lot you have to do with, in my absence,
if someone needs an E-901 address or if they represent the state.
In a timely fashion.
In a timely fashion.
That was a jab, because I asked for all my son again.
Unfortunately, it's not very quick, but they are, all their software has been getting updated over the last couple weeks,
so everything's been going offline and then coming back with new updates.
Any questions from the audience?
Seeing none.
Oh, this is Rebecca.
She liked my message, so she should be in shortly.
Good.
So, just jumping in a little bit.
Yeah, that's already done.
So, we had the Vertex removal, the cell tower removal, I think it was in one of these.
It was submitted to the planning board by Vertex, there was one copy.
But a copy was also submitted to Zoning back in 25.
There you go.
And the totals do not match.
So.
Have you talked to Zoning?
I haven't spoken to Zoning, no.
So, why did they Zoning requested this?
I don't think Zoning requested it.
I think that they provided it because it was questioned.
What's the date of that letter?
The letter says March 7th, 2025.
What's the date of that one?
The same date.
March 7th, 2025.
Both are sent to Lawrence Edwards, but they're two totally different totals.
Have you talked to Lawrence?
I haven't spoken to him yet.
Go ahead.
The planning board requested that this go to the board of select.
Well, I would get with the zoning board and find out what's going on.
Because I don't know if they requested it, if that was part of it.
I don't think they did.
Well, it should be in the minutes or some.
The notice of decision, I don't think.
Or the minutes.
It's addressed to Lawrence, right?
Because the zoning board was the first board to see this case.
Correct.
And they gave them a variance in April.
Correct.
I printed out the narrative of the other side.
Of this year or last year?
I did last year.
Correct.
So what's the date of that?
It says March of 2025.
Okay.
So that was previous to them giving their variance.
Right.
So I'm going out on a limb.
So was there a request from the planning board to have some sort of – because if I read that letter,
it looks like the planning board of somebody – some department from the town of Effingham
is putting a stipulation on there for basically a bond in the event of a catastrophic failure or a tear down.
Right.
The planning board requested that.
So that was – this is purely speculation.
Right.
My assumption is they had a letter that they had already started drafting to the town of Effingham,
so they forgot to change the dates and the board that was going to.
So it's purely a – and consequently, it's been a year.
That's why everything costs more money now, a lot more money now.
So my assumption is that one was intended for the planning board, and it's the new cost data for that same –
Which is cheap work.
Which is cheap work.
The original one is $36,000, and the secondary one that was given to the planning board was $26,000.
But there are certain things that are not on this that were on the original or are on the one.
That looks like that wasn't a request for as that one was.
That looks like that was just a quote of a cost analysis.
That's possible.
That was like – that right there appears to me as a quote from an agency, from Vertex.
They solicited vids.
That is an actual quote, and that's a price sheet.
Right.
And they have the –
Right?
So they gave a price sheet to the zoning board, and that's an actual quote from that company.
So maybe Vertex, who is the applicant, put out an RFP, and they tightened up their numbers to –
I mean, again, it's all speculation, but if there was a request, if it was a requirement by the planning board to have such documentation,
I'm assuming that that was meant for the planning board.
This is the site planning review.
Yes, and this outside agency right here, they provided that to the town of Effingham, their pricing before,
and now they just used the cover letter and sent it off to –
Just got to update the date.
So this is going to go back to the planning board, and I will double-check with Lawrence to see if they had requested it,
but I don't think they did, but I will check that.
Okay.
Sorry for you.
That's all right.
You've got business to do.
Zoning's up.
Okay.
Rebecca?
You've got the report.
Can you introduce your guest?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Stan, is this Relic or Drellic?
Drellic.
Drellic.
Drellic, for the record, is our new zoning enforcement officer.
He will be taking over from me starting next week.
Right now, he's in the shattering phase, and then next week there may be a little reverse shadowing going on as we get caught up on everything.
We refine things.
We refine things.
He says, what's in this file?
Throw it out.
If I haven't gotten to it yet.
But we're doing great.
We've done a couple of site visits, and we've gone through a lot of stuff.
We've got a lot of tricky permit applications just in the last week, so he's getting his feet pretty wet with everything that's coming in.
In fact, I have one of them here to ask you a question about, but I'll bring that up after you go over last week's report, last month's report,
and if there's anything there, we'll get a lot of what I'm going to ask questions about.
Lots of permits.
Yeah, it was a 10-permit month.
Wow.
Plus two WhatsApp letters.
What's on 408-5?
What's M-H-E reason?
Mobile home.
Yeah.
You said 408-5?
408.
408-5?
I don't see mobile home.
No, I don't either.
It says M-H on slab.
28 by 58 M-H on slab.
408?
408.
Oh, there's two on there.
408-5.
There's two entries.
Oh, the first one was for the RV.
And then this one is mobile home on slab.
I think there's probably room on the line to write out mobile home.
That might be easier.
Well, I think the confusion in A was that because it's two.
Right, because that happens.
Why didn't you see the first one?
I just didn't know what M-H is.
There you go.
I know what RV stands are.
I think everyone knows what RV stands, but M-H, yeah.
I think there's an RV clock.
What do you need?
Memorial Hospital.
It's called Maine Health.
MH.
MH is MH.
I'm noticing a couple of pickups and what's up.
Yeah.
So they brought to your attention by somebody else?
Let's see.
I know what one was.
One was brought to my attention by a member of the board, and the other one was brought to my attention indirectly through the board, I think, from a resident on Snow Road.
Yeah.
So I went out, as I always do, as I told Stan, when anyone brings something to my attention, unless it's something obvious and egregious that we need to do a cease or desist to, I go out and do a site visit.
So my report and letter is based on my personal visit, not on the hearsay, as it were.
So I did do site visits for both these properties and look at what was there.
Via a driveway?
Yes.
Or you went to the site?
I, I, it, both of them were visible from the road.
The one on Libby Road didn't have anything posted, so I went up the driveway so I could see it.
The one on Snow Road, I took the picture from Snow Road.
And those pictures are on the office phone for reference.
And, and so they've been sent the letters, and there's been no response.
And that would be the kind of thing, we'll go over that, you know, sort of one month, 30 days, whatever, if we haven't heard anything, then we would send a follow-up letter.
Right.
And say, okay, we sent you a letter, and now we're sending, now we're sending you a warning.
That what you're doing may be in violation.
And they don't do anything, what's a fine per day?
Two, seven, two seventy-five, I think.
And that's, that's the third letter.
So the first letter is what's up, second is a warning.
Third one is, you are now in violation, and this information has been sent to the board of selectmen and the attorney,
and they may institute a final, whatever it is, whatever it is, to under 35 hours a day.
Yeah.
Any additional questions?
Just for the record, the ones that say health officer, both of those, I reviewed the applications and the subject designs and requirements have signed off on.
Yeah.
That's in there, it's sort of a point of reference for anyone to, as I was trying to stand.
The notes are really to help, I mean, this report, as you've probably seen in emails, goes to the entire planning board,
as well as you guys, town administrator, health officer, it might be someone other than yourself, JT.
And the notes column is to, is to help them understand, if they don't feel like looking at all the attached permits themselves, what was involved.
So a question, so somebody has replaced an existing septic system with a new septic system, they don't need a permit, but they have to notify health officer.
Yes.
Right, that's, that's purely between the state and the health officer, it doesn't affect the zoning office.
Okay, so, does the owner of the property have to notify?
Typically, the owner or the installer.
The installer does.
Okay, it's like sure you do.
Whatever.
Yeah, it's natural.
I just clicked on last one.
Yeah.
So they were already replacing them, the one that was there, which was just a holding tank?
I don't know, it's 40 years old, so I don't know.
It was just a holding tank?
No, there's a little issue, but there's something there.
Where is this?
Linda Fairchild.
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about the one.
No, no, no.
That's referring to the one, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So, you know.
Yeah, I don't, I don't get, I don't, this office doesn't get involved unless, unless the septic system is attached or connected to a permit application.
Okay.
Otherwise.
A new construction or whatever.
New construction or a remodel or that tricky part of the state or as if it's less than five acres and you're adding bedrooms.
Yeah, well, that's good.
And the only way I would get notified is if it was a complete redo.
In this case, it was a new tank and everything, new tank de-box, new rich fuel.
$20,000.
Yeah, the property that we looked at today, the official permit that I pulled from the state website says two-bedroom, the owner, developer said, oh, well, that third room downstairs is going to be a bedroom, but we've got a three-bedroom system.
And I said, no, you don't, it's a two-bedroom system.
And he said, well, it's been updated.
And I said, well, when you put in your permit application and show me the documents that say it's been updated to three-bedrooms.
Otherwise, you don't have a three-bedroom system.
Yeah, the three-bedroom is a 500-gallon tank.
No, it's actually larger than that.
1,500-gallon takes up to a two-bedroom.
Yeah.
But whatever it is, it has to.
I mean, our refuge always is that if it doesn't have a DES stamp on it, we can't do it.
I mean, you get the substitute stuff of the inspections by a state-certified septic inspector for an old system that says this, that, and the other, and, you know, five pages instead of just one.
But basically, if it's a septic design that someone is using for their application that's stamped by the state, if it says two-bedrooms, sorry, Mac, it's two-bedrooms.
Right.
And they did just, you know, they did just change those to 26.
Yeah, no, you mentioned, so I was talking to the one of the plans.
I said 15.
They don't allow 1250 used to have them?
They're not allowed anymore.
So they increased it for three-bedrooms, 1750?
I think three-bedroom and larger is 2,000.
Really?
I'd have to look at my paperwork, but I just had a septic design done, so.
Okay.
Have you used twin tanks for that?
Depending on the circuit, depending on the application, so sometimes, yes.
Most of the time, one tank.
You can do 2,000-dollar tanks.
Well, yeah, right.
The newer systems, I guess, are running twin tanks, so you have the F-11 going into the next one.
You know, that's what I was talking about.
That's what I'm lying.
Yeah, that's right.
You can get it.
I'm cool.
I don't think so.
Any other questions?
Any questions from the audience?
A little history or education on septic design?
Do I have a question?
We have a question.
So we have an application that just came to us just last week.
It's a property owner who asked for an extension, a permit renewal as the original permit.
And I pulled the original permit, and the original permit is from 2020.
So I thought, okay, well, no problem.
We'll just do a new permit.
But what went with the original permit was a mobile home agreement signed off on by the Board of Selectment,
which allowed them to live in their mobile home while they were building their new house.
They never built the new house.
They're asking for the permit, essentially a new permit, to build the house.
But they're still living in the mobile home, and the mobile home agreement, I don't know if you guys remember,
gives them only a year to live in.
So I'm not sure how to proceed.
Regardless of whether the single-family home construction is complete
or the single-family home is suitable for occupancy,
if construction on the single-family home has begun,
an applicant agrees to remove the manufactured housing unit currently located on the property a year later.
Now, it would appear that it hasn't begun.
So the idea that they're in violation of living in the mobile home one or in a construction is not the case.
But I believe I need to tell them that they need to do a whole new mobile home agreement
with the Board of Selectmen because our mobile home agreement is recorded at the Carroll County Registry of Deeds.
Would you agree with me that I need to tell these folks that they need to enter into a new version of this agreement?
I wouldn't say yes.
Now, this agreement was for five years or for one year?
The agreement was for one year.
It's for one year while they're building.
And my theory is if they're coming for a new permit, I haven't been up there,
but I'm guessing if he's saying permit renewal with the same perimeter.
Now, I can go up there and see if they started,
and then we can get into the problem of whether they're in violation of the original mobile home permit.
Or we can say if they're asking for a new permit five years later that they probably haven't started,
and all they need to do is get a new mobile home agreement.
Wow.
They haven't started.
They haven't started.
Okay.
I mean, this just came in.
I haven't had a chance to go.
So we're resolved that they haven't started.
They just need to do a new mobile home agreement in order to do a new permit.
And I can duplicate up the old application form and everything they submitted.
So why are they waiting four years past their original?
Well, they probably didn't have enough money to do it.
I can answer.
Yeah.
So during, I mean, this took place at the onset of COVID.
So we had a lot of people during COVID that didn't even get started.
We had people that got started that needed extensions, you know.
But that was a one-year extension, right?
I mean, that was a...
No, this is a mobile home thing.
Right.
And they were allowed to live in so they had their own new home built.
Right.
For how many years?
One year.
Okay.
There was no extension.
That's a legal agreement that goes to the registry.
I don't have the ability to give an extension to that.
The extensions that we've given is when someone has been given a permit to live in an RV for one year while they're building.
So four and a half years, they haven't done nothing.
Evidently not.
From the expiration of five years.
Yeah.
So.
It's essentially a whole new permit, right?
I agree with you.
Okay.
I agree with you.
It's sort of like that we're going to go through the same process again in the middle of five years.
I don't know.
I don't know.
How do we insure?
Well, we'll do the same thing.
And then it's on the onus is on the Board of Selectmen to police it and make sure that they're within the parameters of that agreement.
Right.
And that comes back on the zoning.
Right.
Yes and no.
I mean, that was signed by three board members.
Oh, I agree.
We had to sign on it, but then to verify it, the zoning needs.
We had to keep track of it, basically, to say, one year from now.
That brings up an interesting thing for me.
They can.
Okay.
So we'll say that this goes on for, you know, a year.
We're back to square one.
So they look like they're constructing, and then really no real good progress is made for nine months, you know, up until nine months, and then things really start to progress.
So you end up building a house in three months, you know.
So, I mean.
What do you do then?
Right.
What is the process?
That's, you know, that's why, I mean.
I mean, we have a contract.
I mean, we're signing.
Well, and here's the thing.
It's, you know, it's a good time to bring it up.
This document, which is a rewording and cleaning up of the one that I found in the file, which was like three pages long, that basically says that it's only a one year.
Does the board of selectmen, are you happy with this form?
Do you want to, under the consideration of this kind of thing happening, do you want to perhaps consider it being more than a one year?
No.
Do you want to consider the possibility that the board of selectmen could grant an extension to it?
Obviously, the zoning office couldn't grant an extension, and it's recorded with the registry of deeds.
So the expiration date for it is at the registry.
So I'm not sure what you would consider it.
Absolutely.
So I would more be inclined to, and there's nothing stating that we have to give an extension, that, you know, the case that Stan just brought up, that example of they're making no progress.
If they're making progress, and it's 75% completed, and they need a couple more months or something like that.
Or not even a year.
Not even, maybe not even a year.
Maybe just a couple of months extension, whatever, or we could possibly do it a month to month.
But to be able to have that option.
So purely speculation on my part, obviously, we all have opinions of why it never got built to begin with.
Everybody knows the building costs skyrocketed.
I myself was, you know, and my family, we were going to do something, and because of the pandemic, whatever, a two-by-four went from, you know, four, five bucks or whatever to, you know, 20-something dollars.
That's just one two-by-four.
And it's not getting any better.
Obviously, they're going through the steps to reapply.
They're getting ready to build.
Again, speculation.
They're in a better situation.
Right.
They want to move forward.
They're doing the right thing.
Hey, this is, you know, we kind of sat on the no back burner.
So I would like the opportunity to at least be afforded the opportunity, have the verbiage in there that we can sit down if we're reaching that one-year anniversary and have a conversation about an extension.
So you would like to update this mobile home agreement to include a clause that allows for some consideration of an extension.
Do one of you want to come up with language?
Do you want me to come up with language or somewhere in it?
Well, you're only going to be a friend.
Well, we'd come up with the language.
You wouldn't like my language.
And then send it back to you guys for approval.
So what we want to say on this is we want to update mobile home agreement.
Okay.
All right.
Rose?
Add that to the general list.
Yeah, because it's going to go over it like that.
It makes it easy.
Well, yeah.
And I mean, this is in the computer because I found it and retyped it so it could be on two pages rather than three, which makes it easier.
And then we'll just figure out.
Put in that to the legal.
But there's in two places.
It says regardless of whether it must be removed, time shall be removed according to the agreement.
So we're talking about a different agreement.
Right.
And it almost seemed, I mean, this is a legal agreement, a legal deeded agreement.
It doesn't seem like the language is something that I should be doing because there's stuff that has to be removed from it.
I mean, you can't.
Do a rough draft.
We'll look at it.
You can't keep the stipulation in there.
But it's still a new agreement, though, what you're saying.
It's really a totally new agreement.
This is a totally new agreement that we're going to be giving for this.
It's a totally new agreement.
Okay.
So we're in agreement that we're going to rewrite the mobile home agreement to be more flexible.
Correct.
Okay.
To allow for the extenuating system.
Yes.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right.
I think that's it.
So, so far, you're not going to stay on?
We're doing it.
You're doing it okay?
It's a lot of his job.
It's really a...
Oh, you knew that, right?
Yeah, I know that.
And it's really kind of, you know, Rebecca's trying her best to get it to a whole lock, stick head, but we're getting it, you know.
And you have her phone number if you need any assistance down there.
No, she's going to throw that away.
We're just going to hide it when she's talking for it.
Yeah, I'm, you know, I've given everyone my personal number.
I don't have it.
I'm happy to answer a question.
I don't have it here.
I'm happy to answer a question, provided it's, you know, less than five minutes.
If we get into more than that, I'm going to have to rethink, you know, the kind of support I'm giving, because it would be, you know, asking for professional advice, which I'm happy to do.
I'm happy to have someone say, we're over our heads here, and you've got the expertise in X, Y, and Z.
Can you give us an hour?
And I'll say, yeah, sure.
Just for clarification, what is your favorite flavor?
Coffee.
That's what I thought.
They were closed.
They're closed now.
They've already put in their winter closing.
They're closed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
And I'm thinking, well, I'm not coming back.
They have a sign that says Labor Day, weekend, closing hour.
And I say, okay, but we're not there yet.
And then it says new hours, closed Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
It's like, wow.
This is Bobby Su's, the ice cream.
It's like, wow.
Shout out to Bobby Su's.
They know how to get rid of me.
We're going to put in our YouTube video that includes pay advertising.
All right.
Thank you.
Good night.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Stan.
Thank you, Rebecca.
Thanks.
Sorry, I didn't get pictures from Elliot.
From Elliot?
Is that from the library?
I did, too.
You probably got them on here.
I'm sure I did.
I did not look.
Yeah, that was something.
Rich.
All right.
We talked about the traffic sign, vertex, primary election.
Police request.
So we're going to have set up Friday night at 2.30, Friday afternoon, this Friday.
And also, since we don't have a police department, we always had a police presence there.
I was wondering if we should have a security detail or a sheriff or a state police or something.
So I came over earlier when you had a police officer, whether or not it's a requirement that law enforcement delivers the ballot or is it a postal, a voter official?
Yeah, it has to be, and I didn't know if we were going to be talking about this, otherwise I would have looked at this.
So the email, from what I remember, Carol County has to have it to, I believe, Carol County Sheriff by, and I forget what it was.
So is that the county office?
We've got to drop it off?
Yeah, so we've got to get there.
So, like, it could be an elected official, but there's, like, you know, it has to be done by, say, 4 a.m.
Right, right, yeah.
So you have to go, and you have to let them know what time you're going to be bringing them to be set up.
So...
You're just dropping the box off, right?
To the sheriffs.
So I know at the last election that involved, which must have been the primary, in the spring.
Our last election was our town one.
Yeah, it was a town one.
No, no, our last state one.
Tyler had to take the...
Tyler...
That's November.
He took the ballots to Wolfboro.
To the PD.
And then they got...
Taken numbers, presumably, to Concord from there.
So...
Can you verify where to go?
Yeah, like I said, I do have it.
I've got the locations, but that was the thing, is who's going to bring them?
Well, that's why my question was, does it have to be law enforcement?
It can be an elected official.
It could be an elected official to get it to...
And there was a certain drop-off locations.
Our closest would be Carroll County Sheriff's.
Okay.
So one of us can and can take it.
Yeah.
Okay.
So we will do that and then we'll...
I mean, obviously, it all depends on the...
We'll be giving them an estimated time of what time would be there.
Right.
It all depends on how the counting goes and...
Right.
So...
Right.
Yeah.
They just have to...
I think they have to be there by like 4 a.m. or something like that.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
I certainly hope with our counting machine that it will make it much better.
I mean, the polls close at 8?
8.
No, 7.
Sorry.
8 a.m.
7 p.m.
Yeah.
I get them backwards.
Sorry.
So I would...
I would like to think that we could be there, you know, by 10.
You know, certainly.
So...
Okay.
Yeah.
Because last time we used the voting machine, I think it was because there was a lot of write-ins.
Right.
It was a lot.
At the...
We used it at the town meeting, the town voting.
Yeah.
And so there's still always the potential for the hand count, but Jim's going to prepare
like tally sheets to help...
Oh, simplify the process.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Good.
Okay.
So as far as details, coffee for today, we do have state police and dispatch and the sheriff
roaming around during the day.
Do we need him?
I say no.
Probably not.
JT, who are you feeling?
Stephen.
Stephen?
I mean, I'll go with whatever you guys decide.
Stephen voted for a question.
What do you think?
Oh, you want to do a little bit more research?
Holy smoke.
What do you got?
I'm not sure if we're going to have any.
That's why I don't want to do shit.
I mean, like I said earlier, it's, you know, nobody knows.
I mean, even if you have a law enforcement, yes, that, you know, they've, you know, our police
has never, they haven't been there.
They've taken call for service and things like that.
Right.
They've gone, they've left being called.
Yeah.
Let's try it this time, see what it is.
Not that many people are going to be there.
Yeah, I mean, if one of us get capped, you know, maybe next time we'll be more capped.
Yeah, exactly.
I'll make sure.
Trust me, it probably would be.
Right?
You just have to know.
I just like to enjoy my retirement.
You just have to know.
I know, I know.
You've got to drop me with the first one.
Okay, so we're not going to go, okay, no police force.
Great.
Right.
I agree with that.
We have a quote for floor mats underneath the chairs because the new floor is getting
torn up, not as bad as, we don't use these chairs as much, but underneath the desk of
the administrator especially is from the previous administrator is torn up the room quite a bit
or one of the tiles, and we do have extra tiles here.
So I spoke to the flooring company.
They are going to come out.
They're going to come out Thursday.
His email back to me was, if it's not installation related, they're going to charge us to replace
the tiles.
So in the contracts that they signed with us, the warranty says the contractor refused to
fully guarantee that all labor and materials for one year.
Okay, well, that's materials, right?
So that's considered...
Well, we've got the materials already.
We've got a whole two boxes.
But they guarantee it for a year.
Guarantee the labor and materials.
And materials.
So the flooring is the material, so it would not be...
It wouldn't matter if it was insulation or not.
My feeling that's reading this is that they have to replace it.
They have to.
I agree with you.
I agree.
We didn't supply the materials.
We have to.
Right.
There's no problem there.
Right.
They're sitting on the top rack.
So I just wanted to bring it to your attention because he did say in his email that if it wasn't...
Installation.
Yeah.
They don't have to try this.
So...
And then the floor mats.
So that price is for...
Can we just...
Yeah, please.
So remind him of the warranty after he fixes it.
Okay.
But not before.
Okay.
And did you have a conversation with the town clerk's office in reference to the scheduling?
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's good.
So we're going to do it after the town is closed.
Okay.
Okay.
Awesome.
Now, as far as...
We're good?
Yes.
Thank you.
Formats for the chairs and stuff like that.
So we don't have this issue yet.
There.
This one?
No, that's for sure.
That was just the email.
Yeah.
As far as the...
Coal?
The three and...
Eighty-four.
Yeah.
Thank you.
It's three and four apiece.
I don't know where I get with it.
With the bottom...
I can see it.
It's right there.
Three and five apiece.
A piece.
What are they made of?
Three...
I thought it was eight and something.
No, there was a seventy-something.
Oh, a total of three eighty-five.
Yeah.
Because that was...
I'm like, wow.
It kills it in gold.
Well, I even asked you guys.
I said, is that a piece?
Yeah.
That's what I got.
I said, what the hell is it made of?
It's the plastic ones?
Yes.
That kind of clears through ones?
They're clear and they don't have the nubs on the bottom.
Okay, yeah.
They're from...
They're from this one.
Yeah.
Okay.
Isn't that what we just bought?
No.
No, those are like property.
They're very thin.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Yeah, I don't have a problem with this, because we want to keep these doors for the next twenty
years, thirty years.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, so we're still going to...
Because we're still going to try to go on Amazon and see if we can...
Yeah, on Amazon, safe place, same time, same call.
Yeah, but we can look at that as well.
We talked about that earlier.
Yeah, we did.
Because the issue was, Stephen doesn't have a credit card issued to him yet.
Right.
So we're running through one of the other credit cards.
Yeah.
Yeah, go ahead.
Thank you, Kyle.
Then we got into the budget sheet conversation.
Yes.
We're changing the budget sheets.
Yes.
We'll accommodate for office supplies, office and furnishings.
So I got a running tab and all that stuff.
Let's go.
Yeah, I got to check the postage for tomorrow.
You want office equipment and office supplies difference?
Office furniture.
Office furniture, yeah.
Because equipment is really...
I put like office furniture and...
I think I already did that.
Because equipment is different.
Equipment would be...
Wow.
I would put office furnishings and equipment and then office supplies.
Office supplies to me...
That's separate, that's separate, yeah.
Paperclips, paper, things like that.
If we had to do, obviously that, you know, computers and things like that fall underneath the whole networking RFP.
That has a contract.
That's a contract.
That's a contract.
That's a contract.
But if we needed to buy, like, the bubblers, again, that's not furniture, that's office equipment.
But it's also not office supplies.
Right.
Supplies, pens, pencils, paperclips.
So office pricing, slash equipment.
That's what I would do.
Right.
I have it all, yeah.
And leave office supplies, paperclips.
Office supplies.
What do you think, Budget Committee Chair?
Go gradual.
I ready.
Okay, got it.
And we, while we're having a conversation about budget sheets, if you'll entertain me for a moment,
we're going to have a conversation about the separation of pest control.
Yes, we did.
Did you already do that?
So underneath pest control, that would be, because one could construe, that's contract,
so that could be contract services, right?
Yeah.
But we also have the wooded creature mitigation that has always fallen underneath.
We've always paid for that underneath roadside mowing.
And for clearing, that should fall underneath, maybe underneath highways.
Have a section, a subsection for animal and pest control.
Oh, okay.
Beaver mitigation.
Nuisance.
Nuisance.
And obviously, we need to add signs and equipment back in underneath.
Yeah, exactly.
All right, so signs.
And what's the terminology you want to use for critters?
Critters or nuisance?
I would do a nuisance.
I don't know.
That's what my permit says.
Nuisance.
Nuisance removal?
Yeah.
Animal nuisance removal or nuisance removal.
Yeah, because if you just need a nuisance, it could be.
Yeah, I don't know.
It could be people.
It could be people.
It could be people.
It could be people that are seasonal sedate.
Animal nuisance removal.
And signs, you want to put that underneath?
Well, both of those, I think, should go underneath highways and streets.
Or you can do anything.
They are underneath there, but signs by itself, though, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
Because that gets dropped when we get the new chart of accounts.
And we had actually had a conversation about, so like the nuisance animals,
did that fall underneath the animal controls line at it?
Tuckers?
Well, it's animal control.
It may not always be tucky.
It might retire someday.
Well, that's what I meant.
Fall underneath that category.
Underneath that budgetary number.
Does that make more sense to you?
414 for nuisance.
Highways and streets would be better fitted for that?
Just wanted to have the conversation.
It's just based on my interaction that affects highways and streets.
Yeah.
And I mean, quite frankly, now that I say it out loud,
there may be some sort of level of expectation
that that would fall underneath the responsibility of the animal control roster.
It may not necessarily be the case.
So, yeah, we'll probably best left and not.
What's this animal control?
414.
I think animal control handles that differently.
Yeah, I don't think you can take a view to the way to read you to me.
It's exciting.
Okay.
I mean, look at that line.
Well, no, I mean, it kind of, in the uniform chart of accounts, account 4414,
under health, it's for pest control, control of animals, insects, and rodents,
prevention and treatment of diseases that they're from.
Under 4414?
Correct.
That's what I kind of...
Well, that's pest control.
We're not mitigating beavers because of fear of...
I'll bring a different category.
Right.
Right.
Unless you like that kid that got bit by the rabid beaver while he was fishing.
Oh.
Oh, down...
What state was that?
Georgia?
Yeah.
All right.
I'll pick the Excel...
running Excel sheet.
That's good.
So we have it for a budget season.
Do we want to schedule a work session?
Yeah, we need to...
Stop working on these sheets?
Yeah.
Yeah, because...
When is this week?
Not ours.
No, just in general.
Right?
Third?
Correct.
That was the date that went out.
I don't know if there was a re-date, though,
because of the inability for some people to open.
That got corrected relatively fast, though, right?
It was only, I believe, two or three people.
I know Rebecca stated that she was one of them.
So I said...
I suggested to her tonight just to do her sheets and just get them to you.
Okay.
They were going to work on it.
So when's your meeting?
Next one?
The meeting is...
Oh, it's August.
It's the week after yours.
It's the 22nd, right?
Yeah, whatever.
Yeah, the 22nd.
It starts the week after yours.
Right.
Watch, for instance, and repeats for three or four nights.
Right.
All right.
So, today is Tuesday.
We should probably schedule something this week anyhow.
Schedule something, right?
Well, work session.
Go through the budgets.
And five-year-old stuff.
I'm going to go on the 17th, the 23rd.
Because you said that.
Just to let you know.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, we've got to do this.
I know what we've got to do before that.
So, work session on Wednesday or Thursday?
It doesn't matter.
Thank you.
What's best for you, Chris?
I'm open both days.
Well, what's best for me is what we've always done in the years past with some of these work sessions,
particularly with the budget sheets.
But that's a big ask of the new staff members.
So, and that was Fridays.
That's right.
It may come with a...
So, when years pass, no obligation whatsoever.
Just begin in the past, whatever.
Caitlin would adjust her schedule accordingly.
And then come in on a Friday for work session.
I work for a 10th.
So.
All right.
Well, we've got to do something because...
And if that's the case,
that's something that you could and you will be willing to do.
If we could do it this Friday,
because we're going to be here Friday anyway,
at 2.30 in the afternoon to move the voting stuff.
So, if we start at 12?
12.30, something like that.
That's fine.
You can...
Yeah.
Adjust your schedule for it.
Okay.
Does that work?
Okay.
That's a good time.
Appreciate that.
No.
No problem.
Does that work for you guys?
Do you have a dinner date?
Yeah.
I just see some of my handwriting.
Oh, Lordy.
I'm looking straight at the camera right now.
That's awesome.
You didn't tell me about it.
Okay.
12 o'clock.
12 o'clock.
Friday.
You'll have Heidi posted.
Eventually, this stuff will become second nature.
Exactly.
Eventually.
It'll take a bit.
More than two weeks.
Okay.
Should I text people?
Overcome it?
Yeah.
Well, hold on.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah.
No, you're good.
No announcements, right?
Yeah, one little one.
A different little one?
Monday, October 5th, 630, Freedom Town Hall, annual action ambulance meeting to set the rates.
Okay.
So, who's going there?
Usually, you only had one representative in the past.
Ideally, it should be all three.
You'll be signing to agree on behalf of the town for the rates.
We do that every year, don't we?
Yeah, but last year was just...
I went.
You went?
I went last year.
Oh, okay.
So, we don't need to post it.
At 6?
Yeah.
Yeah.
6.30.
6.30.
Freedom Town Hall.
The historic town hall, not their town offices.
What day is that again?
Monday, October 5th.
Say that again?
Monday, October 5th.
October.
Okay.
And that's at 6.30.
Correct.
Correct.
All right.
Put it down there.
Okay.
You got it.
Fortunately, we'll have a couple meetings between now and then we'll get reminders.
Yes.
You said 7.30.
You said 7.30.
6.30.
Just testing.
All right.
Good.
Public comment?
Seeing nobody in the audience.
Make a motion to go into non-public, RSA 91-A, colon 3, numeral 2, L.
L.
Legal.
Is it?
Legal, right?
Right.
You got four.
Which one do you want to pick?
Well, it was already said.
He didn't know which one he wanted.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Gotcha.
Okay.
Yep.
Right.
L.
Siemens, aye.
Second, by the way.
Second.
All in favor?
Aye, aye.
Siemens, aye.
Aye.
Second, aye.
Aye.
Aye.
