make when we've restraining it in that kind of is not a clear answer is that the negotiations with the mobile home park continue so they have neither succeeded in north korea so as bruce describes it they percent maybe for the benefit of folks that those on the camera and in the room who are not able to look at this to maybe talk about you know reference sort of dollar figures i would still check on the capital  the beginning stages of the search for a new general manager and we anticipate that we will have a general manager overlap but it's going to go up a school year so for us several weeks will have to general managers in place  project and you have and you generate more than forty cubic yards of material you have to take it in the process that the cd facility rather than dispose of it so those two things will divert more ways and create more opportunities for recycling and there will be a little more education effort involved in that we also have increased our budget sixty one percent on our advertising  market in outreach you may see it is always television commercials here we may have already seen one on we have several planned over the next year and that is to educate people materials are getting smaller your plastic bottles and the cans are getting thinner and there's less and less material to handle well we get one third of our budget from out it's always management fee on what it's level we do anticipate over the next few years trying to find alternative ways funny that third of our budget probably through taxing the service rather than how much waste people throw away so that it's kind of takes care of itself i don't really want to get into it you need tails on this one happy to answer any questions that you have there's a lot of charts and question the hollers you pay recycling tipping fees all that will entice them to raise their prices as well hollers on our high at one forty eight cannot charge separately for recycling so they must incorporate that into their service for picking up trash at curbside so they must offer recycling services as well as the trash and so the holidays will be raising their prices  has changed i've put the recycling tippi in perspective most people generate a oh i forget the exact number but it's about three dollars a month for household for that cha had some expenses bouncing around some of  them for this year we also needs budget more than we ever spend and if you don't have a budget then you can't go out and it's hard to get the board to agreed to transfer money into your budget to spend it on the we're also kind of at the beginning of five years to teach it plan for finishing up that plan this year as we i start to look for a new general manager so we have a direction for him in the next five years part of that is what to do with drop off centers this december our leases are off on our most of our drop out severance and we will be contacting managers and it's like  that the property for drop off we're happy to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to develop the site and add a drop off site or but we like to have the land we used to us for a dollar a year and every drop of us energy in the county is that there's a better alternative or if you could build the facility to process it and in the county and do something else with it and not planners studies are that we can't come close to eighty six dollars a t discussion my one comment is so this is this appears as written to be specific to the our town our future planning process as opposed to a more generic social media that you know if the police department does more like this it starts to consume time and you have to dedicate time so i don't have a specific comment just an observation that's what you said you know there was recently also perhaps being screened to believe him so it became sort of a on management training for them as well it would seem that if you do the tax like a lot of organizations and now profits just a kind of reporting out like my page has more infor l media person that could probably be responsible for the song social media content in reviewing the page periodically if it started  content on each social media site right we'll have a plan to appoint somebody so it would probably be a collaboration between clearing myself so we currently have a grant for our town planning process and this was kind of so yeah i'm i'm struck i think over time i mean if you're twenty years ago you're very different methods to communication so it will continue to evolve i just think of both the workload  and responsibilities to life not to overbuild something that we can't manage and i think as you were describing this when i was thinking of the sending information out is one thing but then managing it in the other direction is occasionally going to vent opti whether it's flooding or fourth of july or something like that but that's fairly fairly simple to handle if we start getting into if you notice any other things that stand out just because i noticed one thing in there it defined two different ways town social network being monitored moderator  or in one place it says it's an individual designated by the town select board in another place would seem that it would be the be you know the town manager complaint on their site and then it once a day i mean i think i'm just a cycle so that's more like a news cycle of once a day where it's facebook it's every second it's repression or you know some other chat rooms where it goes the stability both at this table and also in this room and accept that opinion to myself a number of people dozens of people up to come up today told me that they appreciate the civil  here and openness to listening to other people even if they disagree right i do wonder though as we go through an agenda a friend has one chance to speak on a topic and then time a lot additional comments at the end  depending on the agenda because in in some issues are very emotional people are passionate but in order to get through an agenda and get to all the items i wonder if it's you know giving depending on the agenda and the people here but really everyone you try to give one to one comment and then you know we need to move on but if there's time to be and we we can continue this as a suggestion  so one thing i guess i'd like to occur per fact if there is if someone has an issue with something that's really not anything actionable or anything that the board can suck or to make a decision on that wants to resign or i s that really the best use of this meeting time without someone else to comment on a topic that's on the agenda and they have their own personal opinion about something i think there's an opportunity for that but as far as being on the agenda to talk about something they don't like it's not anything that can be changed or it's not actionable at all probably shouldn't be an internet unless maybe it's educational so if there's a safety there may be topics and this is happening where it might belong in the town planning is part of the template conversation where the planning commission although i also want to have generally an open door or to hear what concerns are so i think it's the balance a conversation about specifically about police resources and activities that would invite the chief in to be part of the conversation right so i think what we're talking about really is is the governing the town government anything from the staff would be treated a little bit differently but it's sort of either the random of the request and i demand to be listed on the agenda to talk to slug about my issue you know for equal opportunity if someone wants to present on something a specific issue if they have the strength and in particular you know you do it for wanting to do it for everyone and so maybe it's  authority to borrow an additional seventy five thousand to help defray that gap in what we bonded for and and we kne details to lower the cost so that close some of the gap and we need still substantially additional revenue and part of the additional revenue is subject to the select forward toward the t authorize an additional seventy five thousand dollars per statute this doesn't direct the source it essentially is up to seventy five thousand hours above the approved by the un which is specific statutory authority whether it's a fifty thousand dollar bond or a five billion dollar bond and it's still seventy five thousand dollars so select board has the ability to do that not the water sewer commission so again the sort of separation of power so i think what we need is a motion significant concrete excavation somewhat specialized work and the market forces that work at those companies are fairly busy so when they're busy their prices go up when they're hungry their prices go down that's one of the over replace the hundred year tanks with like thirty year tanks with not huge savings so then you start to think of a one term for a modest price increase you get something that's going to last much longer  and so it's a long term investment for the town and the commission the users it still makes sense to be something in the same  and also between a rock and a hard place between the need to do this and that the states requirement that we have to deal with the tank in the near term as opposed to we'll think about it for another few years and water to serve missions first response one hundred ninety four thousand five hundred leaves a balance of one million four hundred thirty four thousand five hundred dollars sewer lines so the project's fully permeated and designed it's ready to go all we need now is the funding the water commission has been briefed we are on the state's priority list for advantage is funding for the water lines the water lines are the most expensive part of this project we are in line to receive at a minimum the same negative point seven percent interest rate that the water stor is getting it's likely going to be lower but we have to have a bond vote in order to qualify and i'll get to that war in a second the second reason that this is come up in front of us now is route two is  state's going to be redoing route to the same way they did in boston and waterbury and that's going to be coming through the village either next summer in the summer after that so really the time to act on it at least the water lines is now in the water commission understands that are those are two very powerful reasons why they want this project forward even though it's following close on the heels of other blondie work and their water storage tank which hasn't broken ground yet and the question  shouldn't consider doing the curbs and sidewalks at the same time and that's a valid question so on the on again going back to the bond vote that will qualify as for state funding on the water lines the water commission this evening voted to urge the select board to place a bond vote on a special election this summer in the middle of july to be able to qualify for that state funding you're not under the same deadline for the curbs and sidewalks so you can have take some time to consider that your normal budget the capital planning process and if you want to place a bomb for the curbs and sidewalks on you could do that tell me so we're sort of on two different schedules with the surface of the subsurface projects if you'll notice there is a question for further the bonding the breach of the borders of the town of richard authorized the construction of water line improvements for east main street with the amount financed through indebtedness not to exceed one million two hundred thousand dollars to be fine is to over a period not to exceed thirty years to be paid from water resources department revenue this is a very similar question to what we did for the water storage tank again the timing is critical on it and we would like the select board to consider this an act on it at the june first meeting so we were not requesting the action this evening but not just you understand of the two priority reasons why the water commission is one wanting this to go forward and also the consideration of the surface w these to him during the budget process and if you have any questions for us lawyers know that we have water resources staffing or engineering here to answer any questions you're going to have and hopefully you could come back to the june first reading we consider the question facts so we're going to have to be clear we've done this with some of the other talking points or f a q is to be able to profile this in a couple of pages including why are we doing this why are we doing it now what is the net impact one of the things to be aware of with east me in a specific way is we're currently spending ten or twenty thousand a year on repairs and the debt payment is somewhere around thirty thousand so there are savings to some of the new costs are offset by reductions and repairing the line in these pain is the worst it also because  pain coming on line with higher pressure where is it ten or twenty thousand and then it will only get worse with higher pressure so if we replace the tank and don't redo the ones will be in worse and those are you know this is where the synergy of the different aspects of the systems come together but it really does speak to our ability to describe this clearly and at the end of the day what's the average cost per user this is one of those moments where  a million dollars sitting on the table seems like a like a lot of money but when you divide it among all the users over thirty years at negative seven point seven percent it starts to look management style with the it is so if you start to think about the integrity of the infrastructure that all these things are connected so you get to a point where ironically the fire hydrant closest to the fire maybe we take this off line or you know just to expedite the conversation to think what is going if we back plans from when the vote would be to work or to like time and same talking points and front porch forum talking points are and i'd just like to entertain the where i had not been aware of the fire hydrant issue but i actually think it's if it's not usable it should say not usable and i think it would be probably sense that a coherent and real message about the condition of the mind if we put alleviate this is the table it for today but consult the fire chief you know as opposed to just goes on there he goes to work with to consult with him and say that this is what we're talking so it seems to me we need to come up with sort of a specific plan between the quarter some of the rough milling where is it going to drive sort of stacked under some sort of cover r well some things to think about so a little bit in terms of next steps approach just lake of said i think we should try to get something like whether it's a conservation commission or who could we give this to to actually come up with a certainly estimating the last meeting that's when you're talking about the food truck and we haven't had a meetings so we're kind of really thinking our committee trying to recruit new members for economic development committee and i think there's some power participation in the town planning from economic committee and that's about  collection figures and that will probably be on the next one putin you know maybe intermittently we should have a report you know where highlight progress of something to the select board just where we are in the town planning how frequently we need to have but occasionally among us would be responsible for filing or feel like candles as a term i don't know if you humor me or oh really what that means you'd have to be impartial body at that point to do we have any items that we would like to move forward to the next agenda that we have  presentation on ten things that somebody should tell of so your account manager when they first start which were very relevant to select board members also once i get a hold of and an annual community service day where we roped in all the community organizations here the licensee from a shelf the town the churches the schools where we identified volunteered and form an executive committee for that project you know be happening over the summer and hopefully between september and november we'll put this thing together and it'll be a kickoff day try to repeat it  commit a lot of time to it so we need to reach out towards ations and see if we want to help you serve the community by having you be involved in this new organization is it isn't it turns out oddly enough that the amount of money it would take to remove part of the truck bed and replace it was so labor call them and say what would your price to replace the bed well what part of the bed i guess it was it was the fed outside vendor  i think it had an eight foot  our flexible spending right and a couple of employees used for child care expenses and some health care expenses and they have a core so whatever curious everything will happen on the fourth of july as normal in the fireworks and parade committee in the all those arrangements the town again and the town does not directly fund that it's all fundraisers by the fireworks and parade committee they've done it for a long time they put together a really really great show a great parade going all the arrangements for the food the vendors and i think richmond especially lucky not not just that we have that wonderful community event but that you have a good group of volunteers that do that and they don't rely on the town for support so if you see the coin drop is there would you collect donations as well do you need support for your project so we're not we're not sure i think for the first year we're going to say no we have applied to the new england grassroots foundation for i think they're good so maybe we had the next meeting just say you know what the deal is the timeline addressing that and there are two related but perhaps distinct issues that one is moving forward with the actual construction the other is getting the sideway blockage you know i'm struck i don't know how cities and larger entities deal with this but i'm sure in manhattan you can't just close off the sidewalk for months and yet for weeks but as it turns into many months with the absence of progress it's a concern people talked also about the age that it's the combination of not being finished but also just scaffolding sitting there for months is less than ideal a spectacle i think we need to know i mean hopefully it's going to be done
