companies steadfast efforts before during and after hurricane michel our city was able to endure the worst storm it's ever faced because of your partnership the restoration efforts post hurricane michael would not have been as efficient as they were without your collaboration an organization of highly skilled workers and grateful that our community could rely on the invaluable a that you provided during such devastating times respectfully andrew deagle america tallahassee for that's terrific can we put that up  anything else you want to say that is not on the agenda going once going twice we'll close that portion of tonight's meeting there's executive session on ever seven pm are we needing to do that i have a very brief  update i wouldn't mind having to beef up the chat ok so we will do that and mark's promising a very brief thought three five minutes you can stay here we will go elsewhere i might move to consider moving i move that we go into executive session to consider the purchase exchange lease or value there you go sorry about that so this agreement would let me just step back for a moment we when we were in around the block a few times with it we got comments from the high school building committee from the school committee and some of the residents that  participants the planning board and i think we finally reached an agreement on yeah on the language and basically what the agreement says it's really not a contract it says that we agree as stakeholders consultants along with community departments to provide final site design solutions that are consistent with solutions proposed by the high school traffic working group and approved by the board selector and i mean this for the viewing audience and those here are reasonable say for the travel by the architect and consultants and are not in conflict with the m s p and s b a school committee with the assistance of the superintendent where you evaluate it consider expansion of bus transportation review school arrival and departure practices in the skies assessments of walking inaccessibility to schools consultants and community groups such as walk boston mass bike continue to complete traffic counts and studies examine one way streets raise tables and bump outs at intersections such as school and go to an up or go parking in neighborhoods try out traffic lights at entrances and exits to the new high school drop offs to reduce traffic on the site signage the safety of bikers and walkers as they approach the high school from all sectors of the town the issues of cut through traffic in belmont enforcement twenty five mile per hour another as they arise so just a comprehensive list of things that the board select which are working on anyway that we have to sort of undertake the planning boy will conduct a design site plan review and make recommendations regarding the arrangement of the building building materials signage lighting open space parking loading and circulation within and in access on to the site clean which i collaborate with other the partment and committees to resolve any issues that fall within their purview insight plan review the high school traffic working group of silicate support the work by the parties at the scribe you continue to develop recommendations to address these after mentioned issues including any necessary plans and set of actions i screw traffic working group will submit them to the of j market director of public works so we as a high speed traffic working group voted to adopt this memorandum of agreement or to sign it time and i think what we have to do as a board is to approve that the board section of the high school traffic working group but there have been at least four i think right have been for three or four that we've already provided to the board time that you and i have agreed to so three more  this is a broader recommendation the group recommends to the board of selectmen to identify and support primary walking routes to the high school and consider this information in the relevant of transportation plans which i think we're clearly doing as relates to that the traffic  the priority for the preservation of the median trees they seem to make sense to me they feel a bit piecemeal so i guess how does this fit with a broader process that you alluded to a minute ago glenn that will guide the work of whatever consultant we hire we be putting together sort of a comprehensive set of recommendations and priorities and will they go back to the group for approval or we grab the piecemeal recommendations and try to put that into a is it feels a little like yeah you're trying to make understand the point but yeah it's a little piecemeal i think she will have to say i'm not certain perhaps time it does go back to traffic working group right based on any kind of a plan that that might be developed but perhaps it doesn't maybe it's just the board that has to deal with these matters but  reason not to continue you know we continue you know studying these issues i would imagine i mean since bill you know of alice it's you know as chair of the high school high school building committee that will continue to have sort of open lines of communication with as they move forward with their design right and higher nelson i go to whatever might be to look at issues as relates weights resident on the campus i think i said from the beginning perhaps we've all agreed that after the you know anything outside that campus and we want to do something unilaterally doesn't align with the design of that campus but outside the campus really falls within the purview of the board select been through you know with recommendations from the high school traffic working groups like i think you're right i think the challenge time clearly will be in the opportunity to coordinate make certain there were once communication open with bill and the high school building committee and coordinate you know around what what perhaps they're doing and what we need to do it does it kind of feels that way but these are just sort of recommendations by the house for traffic working group as we move forward with designs of that intersection and the median strip and the drop of zones that we already are we're looking at the walking routes the number folks on the committee that feel strongly about maintaining parking on go and maintaining those trees and i agree with them i voted for it so whether it's yeah then should trowbridge neighborhood so there's some things there about sidewalks of that we came to this board last time on that matter it kind of feels like a little bit of so hodgepodge of different recommendations but i think as we move forward with the design of the new high school and successful vote tomorrow you know we'll we'll continue to sort of look at ok next item on the agenda town meeting warrant discussion and pos positions so this is the warrant for the nov thirteenth special town meeting of which there are six zero eight hearing on it as is required before meeting so i think we probably defer that as far as the others and we have time right for town meeting where we can but what about article three it was to chair i mean i haven't we haven't do we need to hear from the yes so the planning board finally found some space in their agenda in their work program in order to look at south by history south pleasant street has been an area been wanting to discuss and deal with for a very long time and for various reasons has not been a been able to use other stuff as com that is we are there and media attention and there had been a space in their agenda to do to work on it seemed like the right time to do it additionally the housing trust has finished with in the board has both the planning board bushlike mean and has been accepted by the town three by the state is the housing production this article before this amendment before you and it looks to basically take what's allowed in the way of you square area which is local business one we went in to i mean that it was it in the sixties and seventies it was considered the auto mile lower like the animals so but there so the playing board did not want to outright abolish or get rid of that those existing uses so the by law so that's why the b overlay so you can still go ahead and do your automotive if you choose to or you can take advantage of the development opportunities allowed in the overlay and do and do a property that would be more in line with the  one district it be and if it is a taller bigger building and also allows for which is in line with housing but action plan that allows for ages stricter housing in assisted living facilities both of which have really any opportunities or the number seniors or the town that want want to remain in beaumont don't want to you know want to sell their house will have no place to go exactly you know they don't want to leave their church they don't need a doctor they don't leave their friends what so so forth so that's what so this not a vehicle and that's why you see the body shops in the car dealership where this does this change checks a bunch of boxes about hoping seniors five fostering economic development help helping assist the waverly square by putting some more people a part of that process it is if it is part of the application process that we would expect the applicant to provide some sort of financial breakdown fiscal analysis i do see what revenues would be generated but mean if you think about you know the fact that you have senior housing you may have retail establishments you might have restaurants and stores and how that whole area could be just you know it's not just seen a significantly enhanced and that was lost and become a really you know for the quality of and during that time the planning board has been looking at the state regulations they have been talking in looking at what other communities are doing this back to zoning and conducted a very intensive public engagement process and public hearing process and has out of that as com the by law that stands before you it would be only because of the way the state the town election went in there's a little little confusion because medical marijuana is allowed and then the breaking street area and south of the street so they're free to how and that was decided a couple years ago this retail that we refer to his retail would only be allowed in the south  they're not they are different districts one does not necessarily one hundred percent overlap with the other correct if you they do right so the south to st is south plains wheat overly district is three currently is three individual lots that individual pro they are different or they're the same it different on the map right so the the south of the street nobody to district extends from the shots supermarket right all the way to the end i think now it's a healing arts  don't use marijuana is the entire l b l right to right right right right the concern was that as i said the state i mean sorry the town voted to allow for to retail school enough so we needed to make sure there was enough space to allow that to year at special town meeting the building committee that i chair was appointed by an article allowed for the appointment the moderator pointed out unfortunately the wording of that article limited our ability to enter into contracts and to pay our bills due to the schematic design phase which we are well past at point and so this is cleaning up that language and allowing us to continue to enter into contracts and more importantly to pay our bills agree and that is the special town meeting warrant for now will take up the saper amendment on article three as well after the plane the board has taken that up cool on thursday night next discussion impossible approval of smart meter installation contract mark good evening oh jay jay jay like three of them you're right one this is what you know scrap and explain to the public the the smart meter installation contract and we've talked about this the last me when we did the smart meter hardware software conference to market director public works i'm here tonight with last three fiscal years saving enough to be able to purchase the smart meters the smart meter installation the hardware and the august twentieth mark and i came to the board to get the actual hardware and software for the smart meter device that was the big ticket item one point seven million and at that meeting i had informed the board that we would be coming back for installation and supplier and contract services so the first thing we'll do  sampson to help coordinate all that and we had received on october fourth we had received four bids and wesson sampson had reviewed all four bids and based on one of their based on their view there they reject one of the bids because they wouldn't meet the demands or not the demand but what was asked in the proposal so they were omitted and we had three competitive bids the lowest bidder was or works he is very familiar with this company and their bond everything up checked out with their bonds their prior experiences and their performance and i have a letter recommendation i believe you guys or see that from watson sampson so it's and i ask for the horse like me to approve smarmy insulation contract with base they when supply company farm out not to exceed nine hundred eighty thousand three hundred ninety seven thousand estimated start date for this eighteen month smart meter installation contract is this january nineteenth two thousand and eighteen for every house and correct for the smart meters that people can see in real time their water consumption and usage detect leaks we notified by the smart meter if there is excessive usage and we can contact the resident or they can even have it installed on their smartphone and they can be informed as well great to be able to see in real time on your highest it's a little the one that was dramatically higher was the one that was rejected and the strange thing to us is that they are the ones that were ordered the actual smart meter devices so there was a way the actual i'm scheduling stuff to start getting the word out we're going to do flyers we're going to start to in p s a is the we are going about this a little bit different than what has been done the past typically in the past the our department has installed the meters in the owner and the owner gets back to them which and schedules a convenient time for them which is i think a great idea most of time it can be weekends press right there will be on we will be off hours there will be nights weekends they will be off hours on i believe one day a on we did it in house last time five years i was like that's i just want to find it work my daughter is taking like a two hour shower i can tell her you can see it  company for them out not to exceed nine hundred eight thousand three hundred ninety seven dollars second i was in favor and there's a there to more thank you just like the trash this is going to there's going to be a pretty intens years now their services i when we got the proposal i can believe how much work i was there normally would just be like contract services to install smart meters but i thought it was worth your while to just see how much work that they were actually doing it's it is it's pretty intense they claim that it's on an average of twenty hours a week for eighteen months and i broke it down it's about one hundred twenty dollars an hour  which i think is a really that's not expensive no that's that's not that's pretty reasonable or a i thought so they will be from it's soup to nuts from the from the time this starts the time this ends and  internally we have talks with this system and the conversion was and samson is like it so they have the experience and where with all the know what steps need to be happening at certain times so we feel very comfortable with them i forgot to mention earlier one of the things all smart meters to is that we can convert to monthly billing which is one of our biggest requests and in the department so they are the installer they are the  are the contract administrators during the eighteen months of the installation they're fine tract administrators yes which means and i like i said there was it's not just you know watching the meter being put in  and you know that documenting the serial number and stuff like that there's a lot of work that's behind the scenes that they'll be doing doing their work in here where you work right to just one question so at that rate which does sound reasonable we could theoretically hire a full time employee of the water department of water division they could do this we prefer a consultant we think is it'll be more cost effective or what's the rationale so thank you jay markets arthur this this well actually it was an idea that was tossed around we did this in everett and it was a disaster ok it is it is physically impossible for someone to be in every single day wallowing while this is being done  they the person is if they call out sick or they're on vacation or they need time off where we're not install the meters that's so that's it was a disaster and out front it's the reliability that consulting is the one is signing off on everything they're signing off on all the paper or for invoicing and reconciliations it's there was it's so much easier to do it with the consultant that has the basically the where with all and the manpower and you know like i like the fact that it's not to exceed as well sure so i mean so the other country the contract administrator rights so i move that the board selection i move that we approve the are at the end of their useful life like i said they were installed in the late ninety's they have a twenty year shelf life fifteen or twenty or shelf life the way the contract is being presented to today is the the new kind of modules that we are purchasing from honeywell have the badger register already built into them this is from honeywell so no other meter body would work with the new register and so that's the module from honeywell style the company that we have used for years styles the norwood massachusetts the only distributor of the badger meter in the state so they are looked at as a sole source distributor the department of public badger meters right now in your house right now they have reached the end of their useful life fifteen or twenty years they're all twenty years plus right now around twenty years water meter bodies yes actual smart meter we've purchased for one point seven i was just the bodies of the whole the whole them we have a display that we have i would i wish we brought it i would need to see it that's fine this hold that this hold for three hundred forty thousand dollars it's the actual meter and then the smart device goes literally on top of it ok but i don't actually like it yeah it's mark nikou so what are division minister the brass housing where the water actually goes through yeah that really the home right we're going to purchase five thousand and five eighth's in four hundred thirty four one inch me and those are going to be the ones they're going to be replaced in the ho the meters that are in the homes that have a life less than ten years we're going to keep those in the home and just put on the electronics portion so you're not going to get a new mine the pro correct distributor in massachusetts that is correct there are other interviews outside of there so we could look into like new york and new jersey but then we would have to pay transportation costs and the costs are you know we'll be a wonderful project for the community so thank you quasi park and the actual legal name of it is a quasi playground so we would have to change the name to have the sign match which actually seems to me makes sense because it's not just a playground tire lark which a playground i it however we do not have a naming policy on how to go about this and so it seemed like the opportune time to do the naming policy and then we'll have that sorted we had there's some patrice i want to point out the couple this an opportunity because we've been talking about this for quite some time at least the assets that are under the force like in town preview to its naming rights policy so if there was a benefactor that wanted to provide funds to the community we could say we're going to name this park after that benefactor or the skating rink whatever might be well the skating rink would be on school property that would be a school matter but it's so it says here the property is maybe named after an individual organization it's made significant financial all the name and wondering yes i talked to george about this today because he had same question george and it's in here whoever maintains the care control and custody of the building technically gets the naming ability well it says requests pertaining to the soldiers into the character control custody of any town board commuter commission shall be referred to that board in the first instance to confirm their support before the proposals review but it's like that makes sense it goes to them first but it doesn't go to them on think having the board as a piece of that is a probably a smart i'm not yeah i'm just i'm pointing it out technically though based on what george said was if the l'abri gestes different from the  to adopt that same naming rights policy because we've talked about the need to sort of align with scheme particularly the school committee on the number of passes they have in you think about score boards and you know fields and things of that nature that trustees decide not to vote on it it's still a policy that we operate under yes and it but it doesn't pertain to school assets school buildings live only way it would if it became a battle if you had a naming  so we could make the addition that you suggested or could we not just strike the last half sentence of the process or you could say that that the  is like one control what it says requests pertaining to the facilities of the care controller custody of any town board committee or commission should be referred to that board committee or commission period yes you could do that speak on this matter oh man secretary of the board of library trying to start again with a lot with the microphone gail mann secretary of the board of library trustees i think you've addressed the issue that i came to talk about which is that we're working on this as a board and we expect to have something in the next couple of meetings and also expected to essentially be the last word with of course input from the community from you from the belmont library foundation so i think will work just fine i think what tom just said works for you i think it does yeah i mean i haven't seen the words and i'm a lawyer and i can take them but it sounded like we have agreement in principle about how this will all we're not we're just looking to control  can i was in favor i just work thank you now the next one now this comes right into the next room which is the discussion of request for permission to install up across a park sign which will require us to under our new policy change the name of the quasi playground q park want to have an official ribbon cutting but they want to weigh in make sure that the sign got approved and got all you let us know when that is absolutely that they're waiting they want to do before winter set in but they want to wait for us next incinerator site discussion possible vote to fund feasibility study so this has to do with the follow up from the user last public hearing that we had on the incinerator site remaining five ideas and then we had to do is we have to decide basically this point whether or not for the anaerobic digesters and the only way to really move forward on that if we feel that is an option we want to explore is to even more information we have as a board the more informed a decision we can make in terms of what we want to recommend there so i would support moving for it with this feasibility study not in any way suggesting that i'm in favor of any of a cake just or if we need like we can't and i do think we have a fiduciary obligation to at least explore it so i'm supportive as well the one question i will note is it looks like there are three tasks and a report at the end of the first task is cite the billion potential benefits and impacts well i do think this is important this isn't the first question i have the first question i have is really about task two which is the economic assessment agree with you not that i'm penny pinching here but is there a version of this that says to the my my decision tree is you know is there an economic up and economic really interesting opportunity here if it comes back and the answer is it's thirty thousand dollars a year potential suspect it's done in that way if it turns out there's a big potential then a much deeper dive into suitability impacts potential benefits that whole process becomes more interesting if in fact there's an interesting economic opportunity doesn't seem to be anybody willing to or able to give us i mean what i'm wearing or can you do can you sequence this work so you do task t first you do task one second if it turns out task to produce a very small number that's not interesting we save three four five thousand dollars and we don't do task one yet please no i don't mean just a chair after i think i think tom resource areas that running the site there are challenges with how much of the site you can actually manipulate what kind of storm want to management systems will be required depending on post closure use so there are a lot of questions that need to be addressed in terms of site suitability offer a suggestion that any feasibility study take into account two items that may or may not have been discussed  i'm a resident kennel gardens as my wife we've been in town forty years of in a town meeting member for forty years and observation that i have as a rchitect and my career is involved in town and campus planning here and abroad two points might be brought up here for the feasibility study one is the forty years we've been here there have been some dramatic changes to this town and you certainly are aware of the increases in density of the town of belmont it's apparent everywhere it's apparent in what's being built in expansion of housing both residential and apartment it's it's apparent in the need to expand or high school it's apparent in the increase traffic and in many ways the town has changed dramatically in the forty years we've been here the density of the town  is almost certainly going to increase in the coming years and may increase forever what this means is that the open space that we and our children and our children's children will see a greater opportunity to get outdoors and have the freedom of escaping this increased density as time goes on so i think that any feasibility study point one is should include taking into account  how this open space we will be affected by whatever you choose to do here and whatever is chosen and should be  compatible with the open space and the preciousness of that open space so i think that's a factor to be addressed the other is that i don't know how many of you have occasion to come out to our part of town in the morning or in the evening the traffic situation there has increased dramatically over the past two years been many discussions of this our particular neighborhood has on the order of ninety homes in a and is surrounded on three sides by beaver broken and rock meadow and are only access to the town streets are on mill street as much starting at the hour of about well this morning i was out at quarter till six to escape the neighborhood and traffic was backed up all the way up concord ave and i had to go out to concord and it was stacked all away much of that traffic comes in concord avenue and down mill street it is likely that we will see that continue to the future as such the access to the incinerator site is severely limited until mid morning and again beginning at three in the afternoon going the other way it is severely limited we know this because we can't get in and out of our neighborhood in the morning or in the afternoon if i have to mail a letter at three o'clock i can't go down the hill and get to the post office and get back i cannot do it so the feasibility study ought to take into account its the accessibility of the site fo major parts of the day and it is assumed that that will continue into the future and may increase so two points be competitive be compatible what is compatible to the open space that is becoming more and more precious and what is compatible to the accessibility that is becoming more and more restricted and in the study and task one includes access nearby sensitive human receptors environmental resources that is part of yeah ok so i'm just you people will be judging these  forty five dollars a square yard that's twenty million dollars and cost that sounds about right for for a two thousand foot high bill that's a square  us not suggesting it will then we have to further examine based on what you know feel just said impact to the roadway well and you know an impact to residents in terms of increased truck traffic those are all of those things have to be considered actually right yeah i mean i think this is this would give us sort of a starting point fine for c right but i think you're right i think there are other factors they need to be discussed i don't think that holds of this study are going to be these the yes with this is the thing there are going to be other factors to be make a decision i mean i guess yeah i'm not sure what you're i want to couch by com i'm not i'm not asking it and i have a staff level here and i appreciate that but if you're asking the right and you know what i would say to you is that the way this matrix has has developed in the way that know i think that it's worth a cursory look at this point to see whether in our revenue generation as a possibility on this site and if at the end of the day that that ends up being a yes but it's determined that open space is a greater need for the community than any i normally don't speak at these meetings so we always have time for the press well speaking as a resident belmont lighting cue the results of their study yet right there we're going to look at the site i mean the way i was looking at i think i agree with you mark it's not that we're green to do this you know we're only down to five uses i don't need to study on open space understand that the government lies giving us a free one on the on the solar we have  the ice skating rink we have people who are would be building that skate park in the bike park we have had people who have been very much gathering information on that and providing it to us so this is the one that i just don't have any idea what whatever the station we make is going to impact us me for multiple years so we have an obligation to evaluate everyone in a robust way and so that's why i feel strongly that we need to move forward this i think it's real it would stand the other priorities in town as always varies but we're not voting on the use of the incinerator site just a nexus discussion impossible signature of letter of support for state environmental bond funding for the amelia earhart dam which is over in somerville by assembly row so why see that all the all these different communities around us are signing this and i have no problem with that why are we because i understand if putting in this is about putting in a fourth pump in the dam for resiliency if there's a major flood event because the dam on the mystic river all that backs up into belmont other communities which we've had happen before twenty thirty and whatever is when we had the big backup and then they ended up having to  whatever lobby needs to take place needs to take place the legislative level as well so they want to send a letter by november first so that we can help me on that we tell them that ma'am i know you want to vote on this for me and i think we would if they are able to do that i think will be positive for us for you know but the purse strings are controlled by the legislature legislature where you gotta start somewhere maybe a month maybe i'm on the next item on the gun the agenda is the signed letter of agreement f revokable trust regarding library donation this was the gentleman who passed away and unexpectedly left a large amount of money to the belmont public library and this is a an agreement that's been worked out with the revokable trust which i guess has the funds bind us to follow the terms under the will that the money be used for any or all part of the income it be used for any of the library's purposes and any or all the princip wonderful organization they do great things within our community so i wholeheartedly support this great second and second favor i press protection advisory committee appointments i was going through this and one of the things that occurred to me because is one of the community announcements we made at the beginning is that the town light traffic study is being presented to the traffic advisory committee on thursday wednesday thursday thursday this week that maybe since the attack actually i found out today too is there's a written report that will come out after that with recommendations and that one piece of men until january but that we don't have to create the new kommando but as far as like having the formal meeting where there's a presentation as well you know just to go back to what the community announcements portion for those who were watching at that time that traffic advisory committee is having a meeting thursday november eighth at seven pm in the home or building third floor gallery and on that agenda is the presentation of the findings of the town want to not have a presentation i don't want you look with all due respect attack i don't want them to filter you know what's been presented to them i would want to see the report also have a presentation from a consultant as to chair claims ok with me i would agree i'd love to see it i department with license plate survey end and determining where these vehicles are garage and therefore where their trip generation is originating from the written report that would be submitted in january will essentially be a of the the data and findings that a presented so i think in terms of you know digesting and sort of processing this information the written narrative i think is really the document people want to have in their hands and i am a there is there is a lot of good data to share there's good information that's been discovered or in a lot of cases just a sort of a reaffirmation of of things that we knew but now we have the hard facts to to back up the sort of the sense that we've had these things  but but january in the written report i really think is is where the focus should lie and i think at that point we can determine whether you want the consultant to come before this board sometime in the winter in past and present that formal written report or some kind of form because i think that's so please tell the public if those in the press could in those watching at home that we are going to leave open the applications for the new transportation advisory committee till november thirtieth it had been november first but applications have come in after the deadline several of them would like to see if there's if there's interest that's great the larger pool we have to choose from would be great if you have interest or knowledge particularly skill in the area of transportation whether it be bicycle  of the means well i mean i think the problem is on mondays you always it can always hit the holidays but i was thinking trying to keep to the schedule january seventh would normally be the twenty first but that's martin luther king days a bump into january twenty eight these i don't have a chance to check my calendar but if you want to do every other we you know starting the first monday of the month and the last monday of the month is that when you're running no i'm saying it like the usually the first in the third but it can't be the third so first and third if not the first and for the mean i before and twenty five and the twelfth is a special maybe i think it's a general rule mr chair if we were to say this that the board so the communion tristan's this at the board selectman generally needs the first and third monday of every month unless there's a conflict as with the holiday or there's a conflict within members of the board yes that way the communion to see if that's when we read so i want to just go through the year in that way and then find that then that would be march fourth and eighteenth election is only may thirteenth may may and june you get into when town meeting is happening and some other things are happening so we don't necessarily have to schedule so many meetings i was thinking may thirteenth because then we're that's really looked pretty good to me my comment was there should be some nominal consideration whether it's a dollar ten dollars something good and then it was up to you to have that's or in there to make it more of a legal binding contrast know they're in i would i would ask you to i guess maybe just approve is the food pantry had to close recently due to some gas that they weren't expecting so that the food pantry is december tenth to discuss work we have done since the last presentation of the five year forecast from there we will kick off the f y twenty budget process at the december eleventh department head meeting and the budget will be distributed to the board on  the current agreement we are no longer a member of minutemen as of july july first two thousand and twenty so we basically have a year and a half to sort of resolve the approach  recommendation is you make i may recall from the superintendent was to continue to try to utilize minutemen as the prefer it occasional sort of opportunity for locational technical songs number roman cities time will inform us in terms of the course of action that one hundred percent agreed to go back on the ballot if we want to get back people voted i don't know there is a mechanism within the revised  update to town meeting next week as to where we are with that process the kind of the highlight will be a quick summary that i will probably do for a minute or to explain where we are currently in the process and where we're going in all right proveable minutes may
