congratulations to our own chris mitchell who received a lifetime achievement award for community service they were was given by personal best karate their black belt spectacular personal best is no stranger to community service they've been contributing far shlomi this field in growing communities for the last policy since i'm new i got a letter from a resident through the town hall it was received and stamped but how do i do something i want to bring up but why do i do it with you first egan we're here tonight to first off you know i want to thank you for your time we're here night to really give you a feel for what our committee does as well as  request three additional that the three additional members be considered for members committee and thirdly to ask for your input on any changes that you feel you'd like to see in the way our committee handles itself as well as other responsibilities that you feel we should do i have been a member of the committee for longer than then than i remember be honest with you probably going on fifteen twenty years and they first off the primary sponsor abilities of the committee we have three functions the first is we receive the applications as  applications and we base our feelings are our review is is to garner input on public safety and public convenience in terms of the events of that stadium our second function is to major i want to say no on i mean they don't necessarily need to be at a football game or revolution game but especially the concerts and i want to say that the bigger major events  to observe the impacts and to staff the hotline the stadium has a hotline and we basically go up and really register any calls that command there noise or public safety related especially noise related we communicate to the people who have issues and we would solicit from then from there to have  observed or that we heard next we're here to say we have over the course of the years the stadium has become more popular this year as a for instance we have fourteen major events that we half the staff or and in comparison in past years two thousand and fifteen there were ten and we try and get at least two members to each event and it's been difficult to get the coverage so what we would like to recommend is that the three candidates who we have interviewed we interview they've been at the last two of our meetings and we we literally had our at them interview through all the members and we felt that they would be very good new members  to bring on we are looking to raise the level of the number of twenty from twelve to fifteen and we are not sure that that needs would need to stay at that level but we're based was george said we're expecting over the next few years several people to retire and we need to develop younger people they can assume leadership role and we need to teach them what we look for how to handle the hughes and believe me there are normally many and get people to the point where we can see  know what the mechanism is to do that well mechanism it's a board committee so the question like question i was it's a actual bylaw is it a town by law is the question i have i don't have any answer for you right now but i can i can certainly only check on that but i don't see anything in your in the documentation that was listed here that whether that in this on the status of that but it's a board appoint a committee so you have the ability to make those appointments so would it be appropriate to appoint them as alternate members i don't think there's anything that restrict you from doing that you have the ability to do that and then in the event that that have members are not to volunteer their time and and service capacity i think it's a great thing for the town actually so people having questions regarding their functions things that we would like to see him do differently the old stadium but with the new stadium and the way it was constructed and it depends on cloud cover there would be what would you say two or three a year are you going for  because right and all the complaints you do have it's all just noise complaints yes there are there yes those are the ones that we would deal with i mean we have zero of the traffic will you know go out into the you know typically at safety manning levels and how behavior outside the stadium how they respond to get the crowds in so that doesn't get too unruly but you know really more that's observing  it really cold and the cross building you know it's really closed off that end of the stadium and the wind is predominantly coming in that direction so walpole basically had the after each major concert event let's say to the town manager so and that has the basic start time and time any hotline issues traffic issues that might be you know that we observe there or are extraordinary anything else that might have been a factor at the event so we do that we do do that i could make sure that yeah believe it or not i had the exact same question it would be helpful for me because of a lot of the events i repeat and it's nice to see have you know the reports could be in one place so we get your reports and read through it but it's nice to see there are issues from the year before that may be  i've been on the committee for seventeen years and we've been sending in reports in every single event since i've been on the committee you send the reports in to tell manager manager that they could have been fax than some of them yeah but i'm not saying we're that pretty the major issues are traffic and in noise complaints and a little of the protective custody issues that get raised but it's nice to see to the members somewhat local to the that was going to make young wrote in were moved to accept the resignation of jennifer subject of this effect of seven twenty seven sixteen from the historic commission second want to thank jan for her service issues that there's anyone out there that has some of the background and ambition to help them this is the do a lot of stuff i'm probably one of them apartments that are under budgeted for committees that try to do a lot with a little  so and it's you know there was one one meeting i went to and basically they were saying there used to be members that were full time that had the time to do it now it's a lot of people in just a few hours here and there so they could use some help and she i know she did a lot of work when she fifteen hundred dollars for an engraved compass a dedication granite plaque from morse and bags monument company donated to the town and the friends of the foxboro flagpole committee second regroup next week and there is some money left over i think i mentioned last time we're going to try to first we're going to announce it so people want some of the donation back it's not a ton that's left over but given the opportunity and then see if we can transfer that money over to the common on to see that so i think that's that's kind of how how we want to want to address it we want to make sure that it was an unfortunate action and want to try and prove i don't think we can prevent the action from happening but hopefully the after the concerns were only through the process i think the first paragraph of the statement certainly encompasses the emotion and the fact that situation so i think i would doubt it's you know what twenty lines or so i heard as i wrote this when i was driving one morning on the way way my way home i've said picture this you and your family are traveling internationally perhaps in a third world country doing mission work for a local church or school your child has an accident your child is lying on the ground with a joe theismann my contorted broken leg your child is screaming in agonizing pain with hundreds of people listening and watching him you ask for medical assistance but get nothing you look for any signs of first aid but there are none of your child is sweating profusely and he's going into shock your child trying to news just scream in pain now transfer this imagery to mass premier courts in foxborough picture your child lying in agony for twenty five minutes again with a this because you can pick your trolling for twenty five minutes screaming in pain and going into shock this because the employees would not call nine one one for mobley in line despite repeated request now picture emergency person responders not being able to enter the park you want engage and mediate access to mass premier again pictures the law to be so crowded emergency responders have to fight their way into the facility and please picture all of this and feel the trauma as though this for your child or a loved one feel as though you two are not third world country with no resources whatsoever first part of june and may follow in response to the letter that we received we had ice symbol the team of the police chief fire chief building commissioner and the owners of mass premier courts in our offices  we to try to determine what actually happened from trying to establish the facts of course because our job number one is to establish what happened and then also try to determine  you know what course of action would have been best approach most appropriate given the circumstances a number of things that we that we discussed where it was the response time that there was a there is clearly a discrepancy in terms response time but it but i can see i can see where  might be the case because of when this situation actually occurred to want to call was actually placed in what happens typically in this situation a personal call a on a cell phone call will then go to framingham which is the nine one one center clearinghouse those calls then get sent back to the fire department and with the fire power receive the call their response time was somewhere in about the eight to ten minute range and that in that was confirmed by the fire department they then made their way into the situation now bear in mind though there may have been a period of time where that call was was placed in time when the actual call was received by the  as within as fast as they possibly could with respect to the landline connection that is clearly the best way to come to contact emergency services and that's something we have discussed with have a major event does it make sense to have a e m t on site or they have a medical someone with a medical background serving serve in the event and that's something that i'd have to let mr mayor address as part of their response  no eight calls while seems may seem high in terms of number of events and the number of situation that could potentially occur is not a high in terms of actual numbers so therefore that was something that we did discuss but something we think alternative ways can be a way can be arranged to address that the other thing was the axis around the building we looked at that issue because we were concerned about the can certainly the issue of getting into the property on a on  the building and getting access to the building and then leaving unimpeded into the into the from the emergency vehicles since that time we've learned that that during the past year actually the masked man has actually paved the around the perimeter of the of their property of the building itself and therefore provides a road that can be serviced merge the access into resigned pete access way in the back that doesn't go through the traffic to gain access to the building so we're looking at that as an alternative way of addressing th property and addressing the property the building commissioner has also looked at the filing situation and it's actually recommended a couple changes to that but we think that the access to the back of the back around the building itself is probably the best way to access t emergency situation i believe those are the key points that we that we did we we discovered during the whole review but i'd like to i think it would be appropriate to have a master mirror address some of the situation father of three high school coach going on fifteen years and a former athlete myself i'm very sympathetic to sports injuries and i've seen sprained ankles broken bones separated shoulders dislocated knees concussions deep deep cuts an a c l as over my years of  doing that i'd also like to share a personal story and how i'm very sympathetic to the parents in the loved ones of anthony a little over two years ago my one year old daughter  parents my wife and i covered all the bases even though my wife and i did everything we could our daughter had a seizure these shoes or is called the rapid increase in body temperature i've never seen anything like this and being my own daughter i've never felt so helpless in my life as my daughter lays there aimlessly so i say that as knowing and somewhat being sympathetic to definitely what the feeling was at the at the moment in time at this time the ambulance took seven minutes and thirty two seconds to arrive it felt like hours i remember thinking maybe we call the wrong number maybe that is voucher for god us maybe we gave the wrong address then after the paramedics and paramedics arrive i'm thinking oh the lot why are they lacking so much urgency my daughter has experience experience trauma why do they seem so calm cool and collective the reason why i share this is because i understand the thoughts and motions that miss no in our family experienced when our children are in pain we expect an extraordinary high sense of urgency from all parties involved we expect a seamless plan that is executed perfectly and as parents this is normally what we receive however however an immense of an emergency it didn't seem that way in this case mass premier is managed with empathy and very aggressive approach sense been notified of the concerns regarding anthony's or an injury we have had meetings with the town manager the police chief the fire chief the building commission along with multiple staff meetings and we've also set up future meetings with both the fire chiefs and hopefully with the police chief to be able to review our process that we are going to continue to improve on we were aware of the broken leg however it did not interest her trigger the investigation as we were certain that the systems in place were the most effective it was not until the building commissioner brought the incident to our attention that we thought any differently unfortunately this was several weeks after the incident occurred this eliminating the option for us to review the camera system so we could look at potential areas of improvement after reviewing our records i was able to assemble a timeline of events and how it paralleled to the process and procedures that we currently have and what we were able to find anthony bruno was injured around ten fifty five a m on april second a nine one one call was made from master mirror cell phone at ten fifty six along with ten two additional nine one one calls from random parties the ambulance was dispatched to ten fifty eight and arrived promptly at mass premier at eleven o six this is the process that was executed by the mass from your staff matt who is the manager on duty at time made the call nine one one from the cell phone that we have a manager cell phone that we have amassed for me at all times i did ask him why he chose to use a cell phone and not go to the landline and as a twenty four year old he didn't realize that there was a difference so a little bit of an error on our part of not letting our staff know that there is a difference in this day and age most kids younger people they do everything with their cell phone so they don't even think there was a difference we did check to see and it shows records of the last time between the call to nine one one in the call to fox but dispatch was thirty five seconds a media only after the call was made that went back in to check on on court two at the time and while this was occurring mrs bruno was very frantic and completely understandable matt attempted to calm her down reassure him that the ambulance was on her way and then proceeded to a observe medic attending to anthony he asked if the paramedic needed anything this all happened extremely quickly a police officer that arrived at eleven o three a m based on the call logs from the police chief and understanding the importance of time matt asked the police officer if it would be helpful to direct traffic to the back of the building to allow any easier access to the front of the building and the officer agreed saying i was a great idea max matt executed his plan and very effectively while the paramedics were putting anthony on the stretcher a staff member alerted map that there was a young lady in the lobby having a seizure again matt responded immediately but it did create a little bit of a log jam out the door because the girl was if you've ever been to mass for me of those two sets of doors and then there's two steps it was right there on the left hand side although it may have appeared to be busy and a lot of people the three young ladies working and map had said that that seemed as if the str was able to get out of the building fairly efficiently it is important to mention that all of our full time staff are all first state certified c v r certified and decertified and we do have an a t m machine located at the building these full time employees also work along part time employees during every event held at mass premier in other words there was never a point where we had been on an pair on an unprepared for an emergency and all nine one one affiliated emergencies we make sure that the injured person is stable and with another professional before we leave them to meet with an ambulance in most cases police officers are tend to be the first people that arrive on scene so they tend to be the first person that  officer arrives on our staff member will go out and meet the ambulance out from it's been our now normal protocol that we've worked with the previous deputy fire chief and and it's always proved to be effective the average response time to master m nine one one calls is between eight and eleven minutes this incident fell within that range over the last twelve months as the taliban and manager mentioned we have a calls seven of order for that paramedic reasons one them was for a false alarm with a smoke going off on and suddenly one of the smoke alarms off from a different standpoint one of our part time staff that works behind the concession  stand share this information with me from her standpoint most of the people who work at our concession stand are teenage girls and boys at the end time of the incident based on our employee records there were three young ladies working  senior employee which just means someone has been working there for two or three years along with two other employees were manning the concession stand the employee remembers the incident like it was yesterday as a lot of times teenage girls and boys will remember her frantic incident very well sure members a lady who now we know as as mrs bruno came out frantically yelling to call nine one one when she turned she instantly saw the manager walk out of the office and he said i'll take care of it she turned back to say to the lady something to let her know that that that it was being done and the lady had quickly already turned back and headed into the court at this point the three three teenage girls were on edge very nervous as to what they just witnessed when mrs burnell came back the second time she said we all froze we didn't know what to do we felt very awkward and as much as you train your teenage staff to react a certain way and be responsive she felt very intimidated by the situation when she were especially were considered as matt she is specially considering matt had already called the ambulance in closing i'd like to reiterate my sympathy towards anthony bruno and his family i have experienced both sides first followed product protocol at mass premier we provide ourselves insurance and and ensuring a safe plane environment for all our attendees after twelve years and far right field very fortunate to be running a business in a town with so many greatest emergency response teams have built good relationships after having nearly inspections and continuously working to improve matters as emergency pretty process i've already spoken to the fire chief of police chief and the building commissioner regarding any other review five ten today and all of the and isles a twenty four foot access they're all blocked off except for one twelve foot aisle which you had to go all the way around to come outside and even though there were of say no parking if you check a tape there was a car parked in the drive aisle where it says no parking and then there were three live parking people waiting for kids to come out so even at five ten it didn't seem like all the space were filled and it was still concerning especially where you are on the agenda tonight to see that situation at five o'clock before this meeting i haven't looked at the site plan but when it when you have to put in a plastic horses all of the time to bring everybody out which means you have three dead end aisles that if someone comes down to hit a parking which they have to back up i can imagine that's a good way to circulate the clients that come in i would probably defer a little which basically as his daughter worked for us for a long time and he was constantly in the building and and always around so we always had a good open lines of communication that's something we addressed right at the meeting that we've we've got to get back to being better out i think we fell in the  mold of you know we exist and everyone's kind of left us alone so we won't call him and reality i think at the end of the day it's probably our job to continue to keep those lines with the building commissioner i think we have a great relationship because they come and do yearly inspections so we have that  terms of the building you know there's always one way you design something and then over the course of years you try to improve on that the reason why we put the cones up as we actually try to create a one way because what we're finding is that has allowed us to move cars in a better path where if you could envision two cars coming each way and an ambulance or fire truck kind of coming and now it creates that much more difficulty in terms of getting cars in and out we have with our conversation with the fire chief and we do have a  and and and more cones and make sure that we do have some paint out on the road and terms of making sure that that stuff is is better tied up at this moment in terms of traffic it is there is a good traffic flow that goes through i i believe mr kast fair was at the building this weekend when we did have an event and i won't speak on his behalf but he came back with with what we took as positive feedback so all let him comment more on what he witnessed and what he thought what he thought he viewed but we've done things and we've added an employee parking lot out front to allow the employees easier access to get in and get parts kind of stay out of the main customers way as opposed to a lot of times you have again teenage employees who are parking in the first couple of spots and your customers are parked in the o two lots over and you know it's you know rafts officials of the same thing so we try to move them away we've added the partnership with the building next door where we do have the walking bridge so there are people who can point and point directly next door that allows traffic flow and we become a destination place for a lot of people if your daughter's playing there now you're going to we're going to see you every tuesday night for the next eight or nine weeks when people do that they get comfortable and they start parking in spots that they don't necessarily should be we don't want parking on the left hand side of the islands we only want parking on the right hand side so those are things that we've already ordered the petitions to have that rest the way blocked off  we're going to make parking lines along the way so we can create a one parking lane one driving lane as opposed to one driving lane with two porcupines so this is the things we constantly review but i will say the reason why those things are op is because the recommendation of both the previous fire chief and our site engineer of the way they designed it was probably not the way we would design it if we were building that day so we tried to do is create more one ways because everyone thinks it functions better when you have one ways as opposed to two ways even backing out we were them all nightmare cars backing out this way cars barking out the other you have a car going this way a car going this way when we first opened in the first six months and chief o'leary may be able to remember this they were down there almost every week to traffic jams we had traffic jams on want to six that backed up beyond the ninety five bridge and went the other way up beyond like four buildings down that used to be a lot now it's a building in that we've avoided i don't think we've had a traffic jam since our first year created on want to six and i think the reason why we feel that happened is that we we did open up and create everything as a one way so you have to go in a circle people have to queue you can't cut people off when people back in and out they go a certain direction so we've done that primarily recommendations on the previous fire chief and our site engineer which is a local guy  so in you're right that was then this is now what was my experience was complete chaos until you had the cones and everything set up would see enforcement when someone does like today park where the not supposed to be parking we do have an announcement system  we can make a loud call announcement over the loudspeaker to let someone know to to move a vehicle we've only one time had a call vehicle that someone refused to move and we we requested them to be towed it's only up one time  in and in twelve years and it's definitely something on our list that that we can be better out of having someone walk the parking lot on a more readily basis and try to move people more to the to the back of the lot during our two large front parking lot is as protected thank you as you did you need to add to that i was just going to suggest to the board that the fight chief kept him buckley's here and groups because cars here so in case you have questions of all know that we the reason we we looked at the at the event the and indeed in the interim was actually well documented so we had we understood what the issue was the question was what actually could be done from a operational perspective because we we have to look at it from the spread ok what could have been done differently what was the circulation was a circulation issue was the response time an issue was the where the internal actions an issue all those things were things that we had to address directly with the the end of it with the owner of the property plus we already had you know we had the well documented  we we had not we knew that this was going to be coming before the board so we want to try to dress it from the operational perspective and from what i understood calving and when mr sullivan first presented this to us this was a a major event listener and i mean it was very well attended and i got the impression that the style tournament where everyone plays a single game and then leaves because it's the metro west playoffs a lot of people stay and they scout and they watch the future opponent and that when they win they tend to say and celebrate a little bit longer but everyone plays a single game and th leaves so if you can envision twelve teams playing and then at some points during the day twelve people teams are showing up twenty four teams in the building at any one time that's about our capacity for parking which is why we have the police detail we put three attendees out in the parking lot and we try to drive the traffic through at an event like in april and most of our events other than that we can in march all of our tournaments are done in three game sets so most of our games are what we call sit play so you play a game you set a game and you play a game so in that case it's the same people that are there for multiple games and then they leave and then a new set comes in and does the same type of format so you get a lot the traffic flow is a lot different  plus when you look at an a you a vent or club event like this particular event was you get a lot less people that attend you usually get a single parent because the parents are usually doing seventy five things in that day with their multiple children so you usually get a single parent who attends and you usually don't get the grandparent and the uncles and the aunts there in the metro us playoffs we do get the uncles the aunts the grandparents the sisters the brothers everyone comes so it becomes a much bigger deal  again i say i think it's probably relevant if mr caspar talks about this event that we had on this path on the eighteenth when he did an observation of the parking lot because that is a very similar event to the event we had in april then in terms of what he saw most of our parking when you go out to the back is not full but again it's something we have to do a better job of of our most comfortable customers we have customers who show up to mass from here five or six days a  week the more comfortable they get the more they'll park anywhere and that's where i think we have to address that we've got to do a better job of making sure that we drive more people to the back of the water it's not a case of not having enough spots it's the case of driving people a little further away from where they'd like to park as opposed to parking more closer up front which would leave the entrance a little bit wider it wasn't a case of d m v allowance being blocked because obviously the blame the ambulance got to the door it's in and it's more of a it's a traffic flow to ensure that things are moving as efficiently as possible to i took a ride around town to the packing a lot and one of the days when you did have in the parking lot wasn't filled but there were there are quite but i did find it a little confusing been there but you had mentioned that right now you had to you have access to the back of the building you had paved the back of the building and that is where your we've had it for a long time because it was never paved it was and it was not really wide enough to allow a vehicle to go our vehicles could go around it but i'm not sure i think the policed the fire chief and mention that they do everything in terms of their biggest ladder truck ha fit now we do believe and again that's on our agenda of things to review and look at to ensure that that vehicle could fit down that path to ensure that we're we're doing everything the reason why we have the plastic a signs was that that that that if a fire truck were to have to make that corner they and they were move they would just run him over as opposed to something that's more concrete to direct traffic they would you know we do move them but they in a in a major emergency where someone didn't get out to do and they would run event could pack that it's unlikely because it would be you would literally be parked in the middle of the road it is very the one lane road and on the side of it falls by three or four feet which is hot it's to deep enough all that you want your car to go over the the ledge of it you're s u v could probably do it but you definitely want parked there because your car would definitely be slanted and it's it's the tree area on the one side it would be you'd really it would be very uncomfortable to park there would be no different than literally parking in the entrance of the front but again it's something that we have to add to our list you know when they do people use that to get into the parking lot use that access to get into the pack for what you will experience this time of year is very different than what you'll experience in january through the end of april i'll play basketball to sure but that share that parking lot i have been there many times on a saturday in january and february can't get a parking spot drive around the building a couple times finally get a spot go into the building  son was working up working out up at elite while he was working in the cage it's crowded sometimes you have to walk sideways to get to get by through the through the car by the concession stand so i think you have to think about different times of the year how are you going to manage the traffic situation depending on what's going on back and take that into account as well not just what's going out on in front because w programs you have cars coming and going just dropping off and picking up and when they stop they're stopping traffic to stop in that traffic flow so i want to take that into consideration the other thing i want to mention is my daughter she c s in gymnastics she's in june olympic program meets in tournaments all over the country unfortunately for me but at every gymnastics meet there is always always either an athletic trainer or an t because you never know what's going to happen and i want you to strongly consider that not at not at all all tournaments but at the big tournaments we're going to have a heavy presence think about it ok take it under under advisement take it into consideration ok i think that may have been well served in this in this case ok i think timing is a big issue obviously miss bruno and anthony you know what may have seemed minutes to you guys must have seen forever for them what's the right time we have records they have they have records i don't think we can we can go back and forth he said she said whatever i think what we want to do is make sure that you guys are in i and how do you how do you determine i mean is it that a stationary they're coming going what's what's the criteria obviously it's the area of the building it's the type of use that it's be the to be considered each use would have a different threshold for the amount of people like an occupy space that building was designed for eight hundred that include some of all those once you get that number then you have to figure out the amount of eager esus that building has seven the grass is around three sides and then your main in february daryn one of the tournaments i have to check our records when we do the inspect we tend not to do our certificates of inspection during events but rather want rather when the buildings are vacant  did go to the tournament on june eighteenth just to check as some of you have done just checked traffic flow i did count on occupancy because that concern of mine but they were there were to any other course lessons from the board and i think it's almost like a shopping mall i mean you don't design for christmas eve shopping or the week before but with the understanding that the going to come at that time you need you need resources outside and it's it could be the point you know either get a bigger boat or you have less people on it if you get a mass premier and i'm and i completely relate with what the chairman is saying i've been there  been on both sides of the lot in the grass areas at the beginning and it's a it's been a nightmare in the winter months when the mast can there courts are playing because people don't leave they do stay around and that's something that's not in your code you know it's not going to say so many parking spaces per person unless they leave early or stay late so i would suggest if we could do an inspection during the mass premier i mean i'm sorry metro west tournament or west german and occasionally i would think during the five and three thousand people i've been involved like yourselves and many of these building these tournaments and and if i can talk about the one situation where you had the fire alarms go off i was th and nobody stopped to games nobody moved i walked out on the floor told my children get out of the building with the coaches and they just kept playing i acceded the building nobody  discrepancies here but off focus here is public safety i'm sure that's what the boys voices and you all can see that building is within three times or more filled many times i've been going there myself for many years the fact that all these simple requests should be no brainers should be a paramedic to your son playing football there's an ambulance and a step out outside how many inches of the bend in the road i've gone by that multiple ties with there's been a rear end collision once a week over a fender bender assault and not just ties up the whole scenario the building is not so there's a big discrepancy there so and i did remiss i didn't know i took pitches a parking lot i did send them to i believe slackman develops at one point in time i still have them you couldn't get through stepping i understand the children in the twenty four years old the younger to me the still children they don't they were actually told by officers called oh what to do and they just panicked themselves in the parking lot didn't know what to do these kids are these underlying issues need to be addressed and not next february march but immediately because something is going to happen and it's not like we say in my world the racing is not oh well if it's  does the boys like men have the authority to say at every event you need to have a police detail because you had had a police detail at that event and i'm assuming you didn't have a police detail at that event that policeman could have been on the phone right away to the public safety building that would have gone quickly ok so there was no police detail and could we mandate that be a police detail at every event and also the e m t at every event and if it's three businesses the the burden of the of the costs would be borne by the three businesses because it sounds like this three businesses are working  i don't deny you but i don't know you as a board have the ability to enforce them could be could be pat of the inspection department requirement well inspection is is that is really is it is a safety requirement in terms of the building own across that doesn't require as part of their bylaws to have an e m t or athletic trainer there and i'm sorry i'm talking to the owner to the general manager i mean i'm going to be honest with you i'm shocked that there's not even look at the sports that require it it's it's wrestling it's football it's hockey across all those that thing one thing major in common they all deal with with major head injuries you can't tell me that basketball doesn't have major head injury had one head injury and that you know of that you know of that if we don't if we don't know about it enough to report it but if there's a trainer there and it's advertised that  trainer there a parent might be more likely to bring that child to the trainer for an evil that's what they're trying to do and it is more than just those sports i'm sure gymnastics and i think i think the recommendation that if you do speak on behalf of what i think the recommendation always is that you consider every seriously because i think what the what the board is trying to convey here based upon that the incidents occurred here that if this could repeat again and i think that what what they're looking for is some indication that of over a set of steps that you're going to take you know proactively to try to address these situations having a trainer on site is a good recommendation i think you know supporter of the business absolutely guys are running on a great program obviously to destination you know like i said i i live in r b i all went to my my boys go to a  you know all want to work you know but if it comes to an issue of public safety when you have large scale tournaments and people staying people coming people going it just makes makes sense and and we'd like you to consider it not not for every i mean you know i don't think it's necessary for every of us summer basketball when you have those those big events where you have victims you know twenty four teams people coming and going and it gets congested we'd like you to consider having an e m t or an athletic trainer on the promises during those tournaments i have a question for yes if if when you're right paramedics were on site you think the response time would have been greatly increased well it does decide to a she would have been maybe a little bit calmer there were definitely you would have removed the aspect of the calls are going to framingham and then being routed back to the public safety building because firefighters are issued a portable radio and any details that we work in the community they take that radio with them so you would have remove that aspect of it definitely but not only that if i might a much w lot of your fear is and i can't even explain to you i think i tried to do that paragraph i just can't i don't start no one else i can say it was like being in a third world country running back and forth to that reception desk i never even attended to him not once fully his father and coaches were trying to keep him from just going into shock like the slightest bit of medical background while as a football coach he was very familiar with injuries such as mine and i was lucky that one person out of twenty five twenty five hundred people was a i believe was like a court officer and he is like a court medical officer or something along those lines and he helped me whereas i know personally i don't remember the staff coming and checking on me maybe they did maybe they didn't but that still did nothing to help and i had to count on the response time it was not ten minutes i laid on the ground for twenty five at at least and i'm sure of that them yeah it really screwed me up but like i was making a joke to them as i wrote a children's so if that was the best thing that happened in this situation but the best thing was i was writing  reiterate the response time i wasn't stopping show up and i got the phone call i got the text multiple times from my sister multiple tasks and they were to everybody i think she sent all please call nine one even a it's a vote the simple list of a half a dozen things can save somebody else the agony and we're not just one vote bone injuries i mean what if you've got a lot of grandparents and my mother was there she has dementia issues all confused obviously where you get what is a senior has a heart attack i mean this the training is not adequate we've all been through i've been trained with all kinds of medical care that i'm going to grab to i'm sorry i rather kevin buckley did it you know someone is trying to do it someone is a professional so i mean these are very simple requests hog lines every court cost is nothing a paramedic for the day last time i checked was three hundred fifty dollars ok pretty simple if you go back to the time of the fire alarms went off nobody connecticut they're from rhode island they have from new hampshire i met all these teams we played my son played in these tournaments and they don't understand english often them i'll tell you that right now so the economy going to work for them unless you go bilingual in a kong system is not a boat cutting into profit it's a simple request it's going to cost pennies and make a good margin of profit non problem for that they run a great show but let's just maximize what's best for our children thank going to framingham we don't have access to those types of records but i will tell you that any time you do dial nine one one from a cell phone or goes to framingham and they use the system to try to being located is located out of i mean we've had incidents where the town of mansoul failed was called because the phone call was pinging from mance fail but it was actually in foxborough i'm not saying that that happened at this point but you would equally important and that would be a recommendation i would have is to have not only an e m t present but also police the police you have authority you have quick response you have someone who has training you've got a three for one plus they can do traffic control you know you know one in one way i think that the visible presence of a police officer there is almost more important than the empty only right was not aware of an intercom announcement i don't know why we have an emergency of this caliber certainly if someone had checked on my son they would decide his leg was contorted there was no blanket to cover him saw there was no one outside the e mail if i tried could not get out they were positioned going towards the end of the lot they were positioned to go up because the only way they got in was to go this way i appreciate that their owners of the responses but i highly highly highly disagree with a lot of them and had there been announcement oh my god i would have gone to the person who made the announcement and say why doesn't someone call  blank stares just like you guys want staring at me now i got blank stares are you kidding me respond to the response time with the first detail doing being out in the parking lot only because we do have experience of that they actually position themselves out towards the entrance so by the time if there were the inherent injury inside the building by the time we would have run out grab the police and bring them and it would be significantly longer than dial nine one one in the same would go for those who have been to the facility inside the way you would save the quickest time is if you had an e literally on court two but if an e m t was in a conference room or stationed at a location there would be time that you would have to go and find the empty or trainer which i'm not sure speeds up the time from the time someone would be able to call nine one from a dispatcher the reason why the ambulance pulled in the way it does is that was a recommendation from the deputy chief bagley that that's the way they come in they've been coming in that way since eleven for them eleven years because obviously getting in is more important than necessarily the longer way to get out of a couple extra hundred feet to get out by going up and around so coming in the back way is actually something that we the ambulance and the fire had chose to do that going back ten or eleven years so that's been natural normal protocol that we've done not because the parking lot they can go through the other way it gets you into the building quicker and then he'd just make your argument why he should have an e m t person in experience i hope you learn from it because if it happens again people are going to say to you well why didn't you why didn't you make improvements to your it to your protocol you know didn't you learn from the first time and they would have every right to ask you those questions as well so if the border doesn't have any further questions i'd i'd like to make a recommendation build it  you meet with mass premier and our public safety officials and see if you can come up with some best practices and report back to the board and let us know what steps mass premier is go take going forward particularly with the big tournaments season now i want i'd like to know well before the big tournaments season starts and mr kast barrel will be doing his his inspections during tournaments season you know now is a good time to actually have these discussions in this it's the most most of the major tournaments are over but there is still a you know that goes on  to have a clear fire lane have a landline easily accessible emergency first aid supplies on hand and one of the managers managers be a senior staff person responsible for clearing the lobby access to the facility and then verify that the people are drained i don't think any of these are on reasonable considering you know considering that five o'clock there is still a car parked in the fire lane on the night of this hearing so hearing firsthand the people have experienced a complete gridlock during events and i'm not disputing what was said here and it's if it does happen again we're going to be sitting at this table saying well he was just in here a few months ago and i thought he was going to address it so you know the timeline is short on this if you could meet and come back with i'd rather have you come back with a plan that says this is what you're going to do rather than have a board tell you what do and have i have us own it i would rather have you want to buy in in this kind of goes into the traffic in the the the cones in the additional parking on the other side kind of all working together on this heart attack two or you die that's still that means it happens i don't you can break it down to get a ratio you want like oh it only happens one way once every one and half years it happens and like my this happened to my friend four years ago and we witnessed the exact same thing i did so i think it's crucial that these requirements be met because it happens you know oh i think we made a strong recommendation  really running a little behind schedule in some forty five roger hole d p w director discussion both order of taking up well i got there two weeks ago after i had an external fixator which is even roger health e p w director nineteen park avenue foxboro if you look at this plan this is a result of three years of working with the national grid national grid but they never paid the town for the easement and at that time bobby cutler is the acting town manager and bobby and i got together and said well you can always cure that all it's going to take is a payment and we negotiated for about three four weeks with them and came up with a number but the problem was this little easement if you look at the the chart the property at the top is where the p w is today and then route ninety five cut that right through where you see the right of way lines and then that kind of semi triangular shape below that is more town property that was conveyed at the same time as the power property at the top but for some unknown reason mr cookie deed to the town for the next piece down is not to be found we think it might have been taken for tax title but we can't tell and it was pretty sloppy when they took blanford tax file back in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine twenty and i was these so we made the deal but they couldn't pay us because they still couldn't get that  and we thought about different ways to do it we thought we could take the rest of the parcel by eminent domain but then we found out that what we take from all of them know we have the post the fair market value of that and after seven years if none of the years come forward it reverts to the state doesn't come back easement to national grid along with the rest of the isn't that they're going to pay for so that's what we're here tonight to do we want to take that little piece of easement that you see easement location label on by eminent domain but in order to do that i still have to post the fair market value of easement you know escrow account and at the end of seven years if no one claims that it reverse the state but i had an appraisal done the appraisal finally got back to me and the appraisal for these men to six hundred dollars so the value of the easement total is thirty thousand so will net twenty nine thousand four hundred dollars and all we need for the board to do is to sign the order of taking i but what we did have a follow up meeting at the staff level with roger and chris to convey the concerns of the board expressed at the last meeting and so what we determined is that what needs to be done in  study for the for this particular area so to identify what's actually needed for sort to to address the the back of the the property but on market street and connect it into into the into the sewer system  you say they did approve they have not i have not but this is something that we've discussed and so the recommendation that we're going to make to both you and to the into was so it so avoid at the end of that once we then determine what the value is of of doing that construction we then need to determine what the funding source will be now i will tell you directly that the funding source does not exist in the sort so a fine at this point in time they do not have th flow of capital to do that so we will have to determine what it what is a course of course of financing that project it and that we think we can we know what the issue is we just need to get to the next where the next step in that is so that the conversation by the board was appropriate at this time to say what do we need to move forward on this issue and we all agree that that's the direction we need to take we need to get have the sort commission approve that's a quest that you want to take to get the thing designed and find out what it would cost us to get this get this project up and running then and then develop five phase a mechanism it's a it's clearly in the towns best interest to look at this project because it would service a number of properties and in the downtown area it would actually unlock the value in the in the property along the backside of downtown and i think it would actually trigger some economic development reinvestment and back right into the downtown area as well of raj anything else you want to add to that it's an idea that and i looked at three years ago and we came up with a plan in our heads that we could put up the sewer main on market street take it down to the the old fox run housing authority property through him or not i'm trying to think of the name of the street that goes down the hill here by gravity and then run it through the gravity lines over the back of the i go there's a lift station behind me i go that pumps the waste water up over the hill and down to two may have feel i was we never had any money to do it and it's an expensive project there is some some pay back in that there are a number of properties in the block right directly behind market street that they have a postage stamp lots and failed septic systems that they can't replace because there's not a lot of land area on the lots to get out prove for us for a new septic system and most people want to buy capacity i've had a lot of communications  and they really want to get in and we set aside twelve thousand gallons of capacity for the air around the com and when we did the original sewer map for the area we're the same idea biggest problem is capital how much is going to cost i can find out and come back and say ok this is this is a pretty good engineers estimate of what we need to to have for it for capital to do it and make the investment get the sewer in and that but in the scheme of things you know whatever that investment is three hundred three hundred fifty thousand dollars to unlock the the economic development potential of that entire area is several times that one of the thing that's that's troubling osas yeah this plan you had three years ago and now it's three years later and say where's the plan was a plan let's get going i think what we need is we need to know  cost in the timeline is and then once that once that's identified and then we figure out how we're going to pay for i understand i put some engineering money in the seventeen budget so that i can take a look at this  but remember we have nine hundred sixty odd customers in the sewer department they pay the rates and the rates go for treatment and improvements that are necessary to serve those nine hundred sixty customers and there's very little left over at the end of that every year i understand that i also understand that when you sell capacity that capacity is going towards that service exactly ok we need to we need to break that conundrum we need to get  this we need to be all of flow to support the capacity we have the capacity we can afford to pay for so we need to reverse the trend here and it's an opportunity to do it and we will accrue a small a modest amount in the sewer department as you move forward because we are able to achieve zero percent financing for seventy five percent of the value of the new improvements to the to the elephant plant and that's going to that will begin to accumulate well already it's beginning to accumulate the big money is going to come in from big customers obviously we're getting a big check from hanover and somewhat more modest check from fox real positive and i expect a we've sold a bit of capacity since you know coming up to this point school departed they want to hook the i go up to  mean and that's what i was going to say the next meeting a water so is july eleventh i believe i think it's not till august eighth but i'll check ok so that so you've i thought you would go ahead one memory pencil then right i thought you had one more meeting in july and then i'll check i was that it was it's not the eleventh because i'm not coming back ok so so then the next meeting would be august august eighth i'm pretty sure ok so what that meeting to house water and sewer to move forward with with the study no no no but but i thought you said that we the town has the money to support the state  to pay for the study and so we would have to ask them to pay for that pay for that request which is appropriate because it's it's a one from so i think so we have to make emotional need to have you do that or that you would authorize me to make the request i think that would be the appropriate thing to move to authorize mr keegan to make the request of the water and sewage commission to well get a study for  pursue this license know so i think is we were trying to determine what is the the will of the board here one idea is to grant the license right now to existing business  another idea is to look at an alternative look a greater economic development impact consideration or three is to use a swing license and this we license would mean that if it was available for that was more site specific so those are three options that we've discussed anybody have any comment on any of the three options and you know we got the other ones coming hopefully for the downtown but we're going to maximize the amount and have one dedicated to the downtown so what if we can do it legally civilly by keeping that license available for wherever in the town i would like that option the best so i think i think the next question is what value do you want to put on that license to ensure that it comes back the board once  do not turn this back in you owe us you have use you'll be on the hook for tax for what's the most we can put on it and what's reasonable given the circumstances i mean i think you have to i think just off the top of my head two hundred fifty thousand dollars  dollars so let me throw out a scenario what if we don't what if something goes south with the other places and we never get those other licenses and what condition this one civilly that would that then trigger it to turn to careful that you don't over price it because when you go if you go to the going to court about situation like that you don't want to be able to take the position that you've over priced it to the point where it wouldn't wouldn't be consistent with what the true value is i've heard the number two hundred fifty thousand several times i think we want to be reasonable you know and be fair you know i don't think this is any any intention to try to get out somebody get that license and i use that in it in a manner that benefits the town and if we don't get that license back that has to be a monetary payment in lieu of getting that license back because the way the price on something people as we can and it you know tips the free market there's a license that's available we don't have a applicant coming in in this so many licenses floating around right now it's just it's never been done before know what i'm going to move my business to another location in town they can take that license with them without any impact where is the plan once so we would ask for that to be given up or the payment but be replaced with another one that comes along that's correct that's correct you know that go and that's why it's unique circumstance that we can and and because of the process i mean it takes nine to fourteen months twelve to eighteen months to and then we have the other licenses that are probably a year away for the other notes that were approved to tell meeting so this gives the ability to get somebody within a relatively short time frame yes we do have a potential business that wants to commit as well a new business would move to adopt the option three which would be to utilize the all i call license as a swing license with a with a penalty clause of up to two hundred fifty thousand dollars if the presently available as a swing license that could be granted with a civil penalty clause that would or that would be invoked upon it if not returned once the odes and no specific license was made of was made  asked them since they did all the work we actually discussed this this possibility at the economic development committee and they're all in agreement with this process and i think so i mean we're  know we've discussed it at our committee and we know the entity that has already made a request in writing but you know i understand there has not been any formal application so i think the motion makes a lot of sense personally send them a disadvantage because i don't know what the two businesses are i don't know if by doing this it puts one business at an advantage or disadvantage if they if the business is a common put it that's available we have one maybe two business is it maybe interest in applying for so with the one license available now we as the licensing authorities you have to make a decision what's in the best interest of the town it's far from a revenue standpoint to maximize the meals tax revenue number one and number two you know we know that in a year we have we have additional licenses coming in when one of the businesses own one of the business is actually was identified as one who wanted to upgrade their license so they they are there in the queue so to speak waiting for that process took to complete it so it wouldn't be advantageous to listen to the application to say yes no or yes with this condition rather than putting a blanket condition before we know who the applicants are this is the blanket condition for the life that matter who is applying for it that down the road this can so when we have the applicant front of us and we listen to the pros and cons then we can say yes you can have it with no civil string attached to it or yes here's a civil or say no why do we need to do to tee it all up before we know anyone coming in because we can have the same discussion with the applicant on the other side of the table i think i think you ought to be careful though that you're not a disadvantage you want to opt in versus another i think if you say they're both this is the condition that's on a license before anyone flies right there wealth wealth in the same playing field the mind is going to put us on discriminatory to do it that way and the fact is if if both of these are in the downtown node right and which they already have site specific well there's no specific ones coming we don't want to lock out all towns wide one in without any conditions we want to get that one back and give them the two or three that we applied for for that  something in writing yes the business that had expressed interest and it was about a year ago there was a letter to the board right requesting they want they wanted they wanted it all alcohol license yeah they currently have  so we know that and we know you know that was part of why we came up with the number that we did in terms of the last year or the know because we knew of the upcoming business and we knew of the interest of the existing business for an all alcohol license and that was all done surprise when it was a daughter than if i was being in all of our licensing so wasn't something we were even considering at the time that the process was going on for the for the new licenses but but what what's the harm of leaving it the way it is and when an applicant comes in we have the same discussion and we say yes no or yes with this condition because because this is protecting the license the value of the questions not only for these two people right but for five years down the road ten years down the road but my point is we can have that same protection when the time comes but right i think i think we want to we want to put the condition with the license and not condition but of all the license and applications has come out through all the years and also and we're doing it now maybe it's because it's the very last one but we've got a bunch of them coming in it just it is you know i think it is it is unique but i don't think it's needed i think we can have that same discussion reality the other the other thing that you know one of the up against might say well i don't like that condition i'm going to wait for the for no specific license has no condition that comes available so i mean i of the big change was two point one it is recommended that the officer of a municipal department representative review the grant or give with a towel manager's office prior to accepting such gift or applying for such grant to determine if there is a real or perceived conflict of interest in receiving such gift or grant this is the recipient isn't responsible recording in writing the date time place manner in office no i mean in in this policy is that then five point one it is recommended that gives made to tom boards or committees and or applications for grants or gets made by boards or committees be reviewed by the town manager's office such review will include an evaluation term if there is a real perceived conflict of interest in accepting such gifts or a grant from any granting agency the town is always great for for receiving such gives her grants and wants to assure the granting agency in the town that such acceptance will not adversely affect the public perception of the town receiving such proceeds massachusetts law provides various steps and procedures for poor actively addressing such actions through cities and towns if deemed necessary by the tomatillos office the gift or application for a grant may be reviewed by town council determine appropriate actions all gibson grants deemed appropriate for acceptance must think comply with the provisions for formally accepting such gifts or grants as provided in the above sections of this  hi i'm living things just a quick question so i'm on the partner's and patriotism fund so i want to understand it's not required but it's recommended right ok so if there is something that didn't go we're not going to direct people to do it but they but they should know anyways and so therefore if they don't if they don't do what they do so at their own peril so to speak because ultimately if something goes awry and they don't do it properly they're the ones that can get flak for ok so it's clearly written like what the conflict of interest is that you do so in writing so it's encouraging town employees as associated with the town make sure first and foremost that you're very familiar with it right and then assuming that they are they do or do not have to follow this next step of going through this if they want a profit if they if they file the proper disclosures and they do everything that's it that's appropriate there really is no further action that's required at that time got it ok so no know where your boundaries are and where you need to be right make sure that you're filing all the appropriate paperwork right on all ends right and then if that person deems taking the extra step to go before this new amended  policy and river you can do that or if they've done the other two things they can still proceed to do the one thing that's the reason that's so this is spin such a difficult issue is the issue of perception ok all right more often than not i would say ninety nine percent of the issues have been cut and dried issues but there are there's always a perception issue or not and that's the one that other avenues have been suggested possibly using friends of groups as opposed to individual town employees or individual board members applying for grants reason why it's being discussed is because we appreciate the great gifts that's not the issue the issue is that we want to make sure there's no perception or oh i'm sorry anything being handled that would be someone who would perceive that we're doing something inappropriate really and i think we're just being very careful about this quickly careful yeah and so i think i'll speak on behalf of the committee in a couple folks are here you know we're all independent and we don't all agree and we're we would love if there's ever any questions absolutely will come in and talk about how we work it's always a lively debate every time we get together you know and i think you know there's been some references that you know we kind of just go with the flow we certainly don't  we want to make sure that everything is being ticked and tied because we're all really passionate about helping the town i mean i'll speak for myself and that's why i joined i don't care who is the company behind the find it could be like the pavilion it could be schneider if anybody wanted set that up and have a border that's why we all join sam burns was a spur me on to join and it's been the best experience and i would echo that for my committee members as well so i think we're all for making sure everyone's really clear because look at all of the individual applications that have been for each and every one of these grants the the grants themselves above all been for great causes i don't think anybody quarrels with the cause we just have to be well being just particularly would be overcautious and i think that's a good track it very carefully the vetting that we go through and it's really interesting the range and just everything from you know personal to community to organizations and have you guys get to know us a little bit more because we're all residents and sort of the  the selectmen because clarity is good it really is i we don't have we all have our own personal biases but as a group it's a lot of group so it's not like a movie where you know the runaway jury and someone's influence it just doesn't arthur said so assuming this passes and this goes forward i mean i don't as we get things then you know we'll continue to do our vetting process that we have in our due diligence but it sounds like the change is really from the town policies and procedures standpoint and then maybe we could continue the dialogue here around as the grants go forward to if you guys want to set any point to come back on a quarterly basis or even a half year check in or a year wrap up we could do that and you know be great to see how are things going and how is that perception too because it lets your gut check because we're all really passionate people as chris has witnessed in some of our meetings when we have some pretty healthy debates  kind of a healthy kind of open up front kind of because you just heard concern about perception just to restate that background as if there's something where we're like it doesn't quite feel right not sure a lot's lots more questions than  mike my concerns were individual employees or department representatives don't miss and where it says it is recommended that the gift that the it is recommended  without reviewing it tape does so at their own peril because they're supposed to know the warriors but you know but but so here's the the check and balance on the journey is this if somebody is say so see something and they they a claim against them and it's that's their right why what's the difference with why can't it be required that it be run by you for a small more often than not they're going to do it anyways but i guess the point is is that if they don't do it if they don't do soul contamination issue has been removed from the site but i needed to be done before that that could be it would still could actually one site so you'll see a lot of activity on the next several weeks and the final border of steel was actually delivered to the site today it was interesting though i didn't see this before you don't see it until you actually see the construction of guys actually we met i think trust me as one and he went out and looked at the site you can see how there is a great bit of a great change around the edge so you have to see how that's going to have to be scaled back which we knew that was going to be the case but but things are progressing very wary very well at this point still is actually delivered actually on time so that's that's a good thing even though we had a good little bit of the lay based upon  closing his actually under way to do it with due respect to the with with all of the air and activities so it closing out budgets closing out all the  activities for the year so you'll be seeing more information about that as well because a lot of discussion this past week on regional dispatch of the group met again over in mansfield this time will be meeting over in norton in august  public anybody who wanted to attend to to attend that we had been had been showing up for any of their concerns being addressed looked at listened to well there were there were two areas of concern i think primarily is one is the employment side which mary beth has been working  the h r director for mansfield on that piece and so they're going to be looking at that the at the employment piece as well as the actions that we're going to be looking at in terms of overall staffing you know looking at a the bomb proceedings for the town hall project and the the water project of actually we were received in town today so with the twenty one twenty four point two million dollars i believe it is that we've that we were borrowing for those two projects as was actually arrived so all across so it proceeds are actually in town today we did submit a mass works application for the we're in the process of working with the state on on the roundabout and folks crossing to see if we get some money to do that project i did meet to speak with secretary ash about that last week and i put another call in to him too and they and they did he does recommend that we get out a condition of cation right away on that so we'll have to wait and see how that how that plays out and the liquor license legislation for the ones that were approved at the annual town meeting we did get some a new draft that came back today i'm looking at the language right now  i'll speak with them would represent a barrow's on tuesday about that this seems to be a little bit inconsistent in terms of the language but the changes they made were not substantive changes they were more just language changes that the that the legislature would like to see in terms of form was more formal the substance in terms of the changes so hopefully we'll have those before you with the next because of what has to actually approve final changes before it goes for the legislature so that's that's it for now i plan to be off  g on thursday and friday of this week but will be back in the office on tuesday of next week and i wish your body good happy and safe july fourth holiday and  with regard to performance evaluations and different changes in the contract terms that impact pe and changing over schedules and all of that so the recruitment side things are really  busy we have narrowed the field for the police chief from seventy five applicants to we conducted fourteen phone interviews the other night and we've now narrowed the group down to seven they'll be face to face panel interviews coming up and from there the next step as i mentioned before would be an assessment center to to the with the it's reviewed our if he is with selected a consultant and then eventually the board will meet the group in public session the public will meet the case of the finalists hopefully at the august twenty third meeting there will be an opportunity for each of the board members to meet the final candidates we have that scheduled in as and of subject matter expert a chief from another community and then we're going to have a community partners interview panel which are local business representatives are going to we have representatives who are businesses and we're also going to get a member of the clergy and we're doing two concurrent panels pale b would be community the the group panel a would be the other group and we have a schedule where they're going to meet one group and meet the other group the panels we'll get a consensus recommendation and  then that's how we'll do it it's all going to be done at the same time at an undisclosed location because the privacy of the candidates is really important a lot of them haven't you know notified their communities that they're applying so it's kind of a takes a lot of planning a lot of structure but we're doing a very careful process because it's really important position so we've had a lot of other we have an administrative assistant position that we're filling for the first it's a replacement position and veterans and that when we had one hundred eighty six applicants for with got that narrowed down to five interviews this week in a series of other jobs a big kickoff this week we did i participated in recreation training last week i did an entire harassment sort of role play a kind of fun thing with them also you know you know letting them know that it's very serious thing i want to do with anything a car is how to recognise harassment discrimination  received well received we've kicked off all of the d p w summer hiring we have one water one mechanic and one highway person coming in for the summer and participated in deputy chief fire chief promotional process last week as well so it's been a very interesting kind of group and tomorrow participating in a focus group at the y m c a on with other employers from  f there is no friends of in where this is been kicked around for i think months now i think what happened on this is was a member of the advisory committee that made an application tra left trace he resigned right after the first meeting from this and then the application went back in but the application is from the counties from the building inspector from the town for this it's e look at the like the friends of the flagpole i think jack in there was a formal discussion it's been presented but there was no other than it was under the heat of them the emotion of the moment people got together i hate it when you've only had one meeting for like twenty minutes on it do i handle it when i saw the friends of group i said well it really shouldn't be that much of a concern but i try to the building which i should be but a fall documentation if your name's on the application so this was basically a case of last man standing fill out that paper but not after all and until it's formally accepted so even if he didn't do the paperwork yet once we don't have to be that specific right approve of the renewal of what number twenty four washington street commercial parking lot permit for fiscal year set twenty seventeen expiring on june thirtieth twenty seventeen contingent upon him complying with the building commissioner's conditions second meet second in the
