thirty six thousand i think which will come right out of the more fun operating the way to rebuild a road that still does that amount is twenty eight thousand and it will be it will be no charge to the good but like i said we're we're being greasing the capital research contribution by fifty thousand planning to do that pretty regularly after this in order to pump different bike facilities around the community so we think this will encourage people to come downtown bike downtown he's going to the owner's going to my understanding is have a couple of very interesting bike racks created nice to put out you can see the area but on his property he owns the building just to the left right there oh my understanding is to be a lot more creative than the average generic lycra so that would be kind of interesting we spoke with where jones he's fine with the with the site seem pretty interested in the project and he doesn't anticipate any issues with snow removal don't i don't know remember the tool list but pretty much everything you should be able to do everything from a drill or adjustment to you know taking wheels on and off taking off pedals pumping up tires the the noise and it's you know it's it's built for for environment where parts may need to be ordered and changed so it's pretty easy to maintain so the center portion you can see about six or eight tools hanging from very long cables the idea is you hang your bike from the to allow us to act as general contractor for help when the construction project that we had planned for period of time it was originally presented as a sub contractor a contractor a general contractor type project and this is a change to how we have presented  force or asking permission to proceed the engineer involved in the design says that the ballyhoo project were going to happen extremely difficult time getting anybody to bid just the work environment such as that and we have the grease this material breaks it down into a more manageable way to handle and rather than are we continuing down the road it actually makes available better for anaerobic digestion because of our combined heat and power system that we have been running for the past twelve plus years as well as the in aruba digester that we have right we're identified as a key facility to test my ability of this for that process in we're requesting permission to proceed as it involves other facility but then remove the glory of prior to discharge the environment right because of the methods that are typically used there were basically wasting an awful lot of chemical and not controlling the discharge as well as we'd like  to this piece of equipment is one that's very specific to this type of monitoring ok and in a straight forward analysis there is one other piece of equipment out there but our evaluation of that of the engineer is that the item we've requested the waiver policy bit provision and allow the waste water facility staff to proceed with direct purchase of a can skim mini sulfite monitoring unit serving any further discussion all in favor i i thank you thank you very much j three rows run and state highway we have not increased nor have we decreased our total mileage it's thirty five point four one nine and we have class one lane  quarter to the c c r e c one plant pot we pledge that we would make a eight thousand dollar mash it's a forty thousand dollars that we're getting thirty two thousand from the federal government for that would make the match and i just wanted to point out that that contract that we haven't signed so that that document needs to actually be signed by you and sent to the r p c i just wanted to make a note of that and not just approve it so we have that in the minutes and then the other thing i wanted to mention was the treaty advisory committee logo i was a little concerned about this only because the tree advisory committee is a village committee it's funded by the village it is an advisory committee for the planning commission really and i know that they had someone from the high school helping design the logo but i'm a little concerned with the precedent of just approving a village committee getting having a logo that we approve in the consent agenda without having them come here explain why they need their own logo on a little concerned about setting a precedent otherwise the planning commission going after their own logo in the bike walk committee to get their own logo and everyone's got you could get your own logo we could all start getting our own logos and we want to maybe not set that president we wanted some committee wants their own logo i think we want to say you know you need to commit to playing why why this is it's just i would like us to talk about this and i don't want to make a big deal out of something that's extremely well intentioned but i think it should it warrants a little bit of a discussion that's all i just might get what you want to set for own favor i'm good so we're recess or last week two weeks ago on thursday village the birthday party got a call around three o'clock in the morning that there was a massive flood they got over there there was literally a manmade lake at the end densmore drug the it was a it was a major water line break a rib joe public works superintendent said it was the worst break he's ever seen it was somewhere in the order of two to three million gallons of water fails to shut off the water line were in case the nice they had to cut through the ice just the ice to shut off the water and then this is all in the freezing cold and dark and they had to chisel down a large watering like that the the recommendation is there's a remote possibility of some contamination getting into the water line from soil not from sewage but just from soil and then backing up through the water  a water district tested the water but it took a sample but it takes twenty four hours to test to make sure there's no contamination in the water so in the meantime we have to issue a water boil warning for the village of best  release making very clear that it was for essex junction we had people from essex town of who are on the water calling us asking if it was safe to drink their water we had folks from other communities calling us asking if it was safe to drink their water and i think this was pretty normal i think any time you do a major announcement that there might be some contamination a lot of people want to speak to someone in authority but the village office i don't know they probably got something on the order of a thousand phone calls  i don't know where it is i believe in you sure that order of four boiling water i believe the police dispatchers have a blast list of the news media and they put it out and there would be title retired very soon and over the years he's given lots of us lots of good advice and one of the things that he has held up as an example of what we should do is always keep our celebrity hat on so i have a presentation for him  that it's pretty simple it says the underside parties agree to it here by do terminate the employment so hijacking agreement if you're in to buy them on june ninth give us fifteen as amended affect a reminded us that this is a working document when we signed the new no you it's not is it we're signing something that can be unsigned or amended further on but they look back on the new contract coming in and they wanted because i think one of the points that i thought would be interesting for this joint meeting to discuss and we don't have to work it out right now but they recommended that we really set off a a schedule of meeting every other month joint that we've we firmly set that off if for no other reason then to ask them in issue are all on the same page with the manager because east we say we're going to be evaluating the manager moving forward we want to make sure that evaluation is being done jointly the manager isn't being evaluated one way by one board in another way by the different board or is pleasing one more than just pleasing another so they recommended that we make sure would review and evaluate the unified managers not just accomplishments of the goals and objectives but the performance of how and what they did in and support of those goals and objectives so if you if you're just focusing on accomplishments you're not looking at how they accomplished what they did that i think is a huge part of it and then this review and evaluation shall be in accordance with specific criteria there's kind of a standard to use smart goals to make sure that something is met her on attainable that kind of stuff so specific is one piece of it i don't know that  i said prior to the start of the performance period by the town in village town and village in the unified  issues or concerns and evaluations are also really helpful and highlighting what's being done well so that you reinforce that so i put that positive in there too that it's not was there were a should be c four for the express purpose of discussing any issues or concerns or to reinforce good performance you see something that's being done well you want to make sure they know that you continue doing it and sooner than later  i guess the point i was trying to make is there are constraints on elected officials that is not on the general public and it sounds like that is has out thing that happens it's in the  the one of the ideas it then that we had to just go over this i mean we can we can talk about the rest of this but i wanted to make a note of saying how did one of the best ways to introduce evan to us you know we we've all met him but when he comes here sort of introduced into the process is he is coming on the twenty third and the following week we have both a select or in a trustee meeting happy still going to be manager we thought it would be really helpful of evan came and just observed he went to a select we're being observed back in action and how that interaction runs and what we're not runs but images of the select we're meeting and same thing for the trustees so that he can get a sense of what it what what the expectations are with the process is the interpersonal dynamics and everything like that and we also thought at the beginning of those two meetings we could maybe take about fifteen minutes at the start of the meeting to i'm personally prefer to not start off his first day or first week in his new role as a billet municipal manager to not come to a meeting he's expected to come to i'm not i'm not remembering one hundred percent of the says in our so the other thing that we had in mind was that on the morning of the twenty sixth at the end eighty one main street there would just be a period of where it's at right here staff could come in  bagels and coffee with evan and say hi that's one opportunity we're trying to probably create a number of opportunities committees in terms of all the village and town   him so i would recommend that what we do is provide a list of committees and their agenda and i think we're we've already done that he said it will milledge committees and the schedule and as they meet in the course of his time here is  i think the priority here would be to get to to see staff first it was what was the we talked about meeting the other jurors from other other communities we're going to do that with him  library and meet people of there go to the wastewater plant and meet him in the staff down there police department etc and so what we were kind of thinking is we do it would obviously have to take place during the day sat some reasonable period and we made would probably start doing that since he's here on the twenty third we may start doing that before you actually take so try to do some of it during the  and yeah again you know there are a number of you know folks here who he probably needs to meet at some point for example globalfoundries we would like to get over global foundries into the tour and need the folks over there so they feel comfortable calling it necessary and he gets a sense of what they're about the same thing with the fairgrounds but we talked about several other community partners  and again i think what i could do it and next could do was we could try to set that up and go with him on those on those tours and when i would keep the there used to be a list of activities that were tending and some status and i think that would be helpful to have as well like but what the parking lot is ok because that's want to the next agenda item so first order of business week we've pointed you to let me first of all say the last time we had a joint meeting we talked we haven't picked anybody else in and i think if we jointly wanted to come up with a list and then discuss the pros and the cons of individuals we would probably need to do that and executive session because it might get into personalities or characteristics or whatever financials and so we really were kind of a loss about how to approach this because i didn't want we didn't want to like generate a list and then always through executive session to talk about this and discuss possible contrast one suggestion that we had was to to put put they'd put the decision on hold until we discussed a few other things and what we're going to be doing at this meeting to get a sense of what kind of facilitator we would like and then at the end of it see if everyone is ok with max and greg and i coming up with a couple but i don't want any of us on these boards to be accused of creating the solutions searchable and i want is to make sure that we are asking the right questions and i think the goal really is to begin exploring potential start planning for that we haven't talked about it we haven't talked about whether that's exactly what we need to do so i guess what i'm saying is perhaps we should back up the lisbon and have a conversation i think the zealot here is a good idea to what our priorities are yes ok we go it as opposed to a facilitator who has a lot of expertise in some specific piece of garbage or a law like it's right so we want to kind of a generalist who can facilitate kind of a general conversation about goals and in process and help us focus those at the meeting so that we know where do we go in for does that make sense yes so i thought we were even one step back from that and i like hey i don't i don't disagree with any of the points that have been made around this and what i'm really concerned about flow is that we've got an awful lot of work to do and not a lot of time to get it done with i'm i'm i'm wondering if marsh twenty third after hearing the ideas that are coming forward here tonight i'm wondering if the twenty third march two or three weeks that doesn't preclude there we're going to be able to get the person that we think is best suited to lead us through this with that short time frame so i'm not sure i've got a great solution for that other than to say if we're going to if we're going to have this reading ahead of time we're a series of meetings ahead of time to say that we need to say what are we going to achieve what are our concerns so if we just said that's the that's the agenda for the march twenty third meeting is very wide open we're not saying we're where we're going to spend march twenty third forming the new government or we don't even sure that that's where we're headed we're just going to city i thought it would be we would the ten of us would each sort of reveal to us to get to that list of the answers to these at least begin to answer these questions and i might have misunderstood the series of events and if you're if if we were all talking about i wish i was kind of thinking that the way this was going that we were going to have that series of net meeting or series of meetings before we chose this i'm mistaken  and i totally hear you like but what is one of the we got to start somewhere and we're we're we're talking about what we're going to talk about it at some point why did we just have to bite the bullet and just start talking about it i do take my earlier statement is she it sounds to me like we're that charter is that if we think of the essex governance group and they made a recommendation for changing how we do town meeting into and we've also talked about possibly changing our charters to have some accommodation for the consolidations that we've already made and so we all of you recall we kind of said we've got a whole bunch of small charter changes that we would talk about but we're going to build those on all that on hold until we have the discussion about over that we're having a discussion about governance do we see that eventually if we're going to come back around and start talking about it then surely address those charter changes as well and if we if we think we are it doesn't have to say specifically what we're going to do but we may want to mention that at the beginning so within how after whatever amount of time spent we get to a certain point when we feel we've reached some agreement we want to put something in front of form of this this type is it's we're not you know you know structuring the whole hour of consolidation process in this one meeting it's not that big a deal i don't think we need to really get that of what we were achieve what are our concerns i think our one of our concerns would be preserving our identity or what's going to happen to our identity and i think that would be contained in th so in general this is a meeting for the ten of us yes and open to the public yes now when we're talking about what our questions were concerns what worked what didn't work that conversation is for the ten of us for the audience to listen to or for us to engage with the audience i can see that lessons learned turning up to be quite a debate that might have got just like concern about going too far down that road i think you know what may be maybe what i can hide because i think i could maybe i get don't i didn't think that's what we had in mind that we had a i mean ten of us it's pretty rare they get before we get started if there are people there it would be good in gauge them and then we have our discussion but i think it's really important that people bother to take the effort to do that that we are always hear from them but allow ourselves to do the discussion as we said but then also hear from them after they've heard  down or do we want to have a fifteen minute period and then at the end we have a deal to od do we want to and probably have to do or do we want to have like a fifteen twenty minute break period before we actually have to leave the building that that  is one of the other things i thought we've just been talking what we could do in terms of the history of where we are we can kind of write right up draft up so that everybody we can have an online meeting if all of you could
