following up on this year's underhill town meeting what were the major topics of concern the main concern or the main topic was the some of the confusion on the budget how much the budget was actually increasing and  there was also talk about the purchase of our new truck and some debate about whether that was needed or not and also discussion regarding the fire department and the new employer for the six rescued so what was the hot topic on the budget what was what was the point that needed clarification that people had misunderstood well if you looked at the budget the way we had presented it sheer it was a little different and we tried to break out the the amount of revenue that would be raised from taxes and versus the amount of rate of revenue that would be raised from  nontaxable present and so the way we broke it down and separating the highway budget from the general fund so there was just some not confusion but there was just a different way to present the budget then again a lot of people you know are fully prepared when they come to town meeting they haven't really thoroughly read the town report i'm not saying that's everybody but certain people you know it takes a lot of time the to get prepared to thought that particular budget item wasn't born well enough and you know we took that we had someone coming in to our site board meeting and talk to us about that so we're taking that kind of not to heart but something that we can move forward on in the future in morning things make sure people really know what's coming up so there's no way some people help surprised a town meeting and we never want to do that we're going to try to fix that in future and the other issue that you mentioned with the issue of the truck   we're a long ways from materials building materials road materials so we opt to plow and use tandem with tandem style trucks which are situation that we're in with a really advanced mud season but if we had single axle trucks we would be making twice as many trips basically a single actual truck would hold around seven yards  tandem trucks hold in the area fifteen yards so i think it's wise it's a wise choice for underhill the house of tandem vehicles but it just comes at a cost and they're expensive and so that's what people see in that light and that line item in here you know it's not a cheap truck but we try to are we have a really talented crew who goes to a lot of our own maintenance and pushes our trucks it's far as we can push him and he just had a certain point a new truck here and how do you see this rescue what's going to happen is they're going to come out with an informational statement so people know where the evolution of the fire department and the role of the employees that that work there clear up a lot of educated people and i think a lot of people are progress q and want to have a safe town that sort of thing but it was it was i think i think the major concern came up was and it was it was in the presentation not necessarily the amount of money also the presidential primary played a little bit of a role somebody before as a new board member said friedman can you see a few words about where you're coming from and some of the issues that you particularly see yourself involved with you know just just actually it's been interesting just to starting on the position and reading the the the manual the two hundred seventy five page manual that comes with being a selectman and you really realize it in some ways it's a very reactive job rather than always a proactive job you really don't want to bring an agenda to something and so with my background in business and small business i thought that you know i was a good fit in order to have that kind of mind to look at all these different issues whatever comes up so i don't necessarily have any specific agenda i think one might be at fault to have a specific agenda i'm  just here because i love my community up a limb here for twelve years and i like it i just want to serve and i think that's really what i'm here to do and it takes a while to find your way in this position it's complicated it's more complicated than than i imagine need to replace so it's a beautiful building but it needs some constant need of maintenance so we're playing on doing that and then this soon as month season is over we have a culver large culvert project we want to do know usually in a typical spring you know you'd have cooler nights and then right now with temperatures in the seventy's and eighty's there's been no chance for a cool down so the frost is just all coming out at once very quickly  salt year actually more than you think even though we didn't have what we had relatively low snow and it was still a lot of ice issues here too so we did go through a good volume of those products and right now we're hauling in a ton of stone about three thousand yards we think so far that we're going to be putting into it just into these mud holes to keep impassable for people and that's not really addressing the long term problem with with those issues it's gets kind of getting people by right now so the crew is working as hard as
