we got our money you got the money at the last town meeting the voters at town mean decided to apply that to this year's tax rate essentially budget deficit so that's what happen fifty two from grant friends in the remaining six hundred sixty two thousand and seventy nine from the operating budget but again that would be for january second that seven p m town hall and that will be posted in the talent treasurer and myself were recommending that the select board continue a contract with them we have a good relationship with only understand how we operate  and the way they have done their contracts since the town treasurer actually prepares the financial some town the town doesn't do that so it's really not to exceed my own so we've always actually been  than the contract amount because they recognise the work that the town treasurer has done so for example fiscal year twelve not to exceed my was thirteen thousand but the actual expense was he six hundred and what they're proposing for  the pression i got was that the select board i think of him you were the one who outlined this was well let me say it seemed to me my impression was that you were you were as a group were considering you developing the land not for using the land i should say without quote developing the land in a looking for another way to utilize the land without the big city like the idea of  building a lot of homes on that land seem to be off the question is that correct i think i think yes probably a broader sense of the meeting but i want to have i want to make sure th be disposed of forthwith in the hands of the developer and all future use for clothes but i don't think there is an absence of a clear consensus on exactly what people would like to be done over there so we're trying to separate the thing the first thing is to just to gain control of the property and to prevent court bad things from happening we can take a more time over  there are a lot of things that can be done you know i like the fire training i also feel like jericho center will really benefit from having more people i think that stretch along the road  school town had more influence over this land and could make it so it wasn't quite you know kind of right right along the road that that appear to be a little you know a little bit off and then maybe do a little bit of the best things that wasn't quite so steep for people coming up on one constructive solution to the problem so thank you for joining us that way in terms of my own thoughts i think everything that's been put on the table is excellent but to see i don't know if  gave them with the guard could advance that discussion but i think that's something i understand their work they have had some interest in their property i think they can be a really important partner in that kind of early or because it didn't happen and frankly that was great very proud like everybody deserves our chops a point about making different flavors because they're created for specific problems some of them are strongly you know economic development in the sense of proof jobs for answer is yes but we don't know enough yet to get as you know more it is a very good yeah i mean you know you get the property with this liability  so public that you'll get bored  good they're just so sorrow i just can't believe you can type out that it's amazing but no yeah i see no i just want to postpone it so that we can get so yes so at this point we have numbers from all the outside agencies except the county and their county tax usually comes as it stands now that the total spending is five percent however the amount that's raised by taxes is up to six point seven seven percent and this goes directly to the question that was raised earlier about what was done by the state police money sense that revenue was applied that money was applied as income to this current fiscal year even if the budget remained flat going into next year we'd still have to raise that essentially eighty thousand dollars sort of making up that money and edition to new spending budget for gravel road maintenance so that we could begin a program to be able they have rehabilitation that would essentially see groves gravel roads depending on their on their traffic would be resurfaced every you know five to eight years depending on the amount of traffic which is something that's desperately needed in addition to more work on doing ditches and be in previous five gets you don't know them until january sometimes february so you're making a guess as to what they're going to be the first six months and then the six months on top of that so accurately compared to previous budgets that  lower than it has been because we we have real numbers for the first six months at this point this version has salaries but it increased by three and a half percent last year the salaries were increased by two percent the year before that was three the year before that was three and a half a year before that was point five percent to about a average of two and three quarter yeah we had that discussion about the three you never know if you haven't had the discussion yet so no we haven't had that discussion some of the things we'll probably want to discuss is you know that gravel road budget some of the all of the outside agencies i put in exactly what they requested that's not always what the board decides to do so i think you should have a discussion so that's just a starting point  because inflation's yeah last year i think actually a little higher last year the c p i was higher than what the town had budgeted but you know it's certainly something that we can come back to we have right which is very tough that's just so people understand that that's part of the reason it's not all you know all the result of all new spending  matt from the fire department and randy jr on tuesday to talk about the budget and they answered some of the questions that were were brought up and so we're working them on their budget re patients they show an expanded budget reason patient on tuesday and we had a couple comments that sent that to me i was i'm going to work on that and send them back some of my thoughts of that conversation has started and and will  presentation so we want to utilize his experience to help speed the process rather than trying to figure out how to get up here he knows that  get the fire department where they have people want to know what is there by the press that the presentation that we gave today does have some of those that you're so good unfortunately that that was very hard to summarize
