hundred dollars a year six percent increase and that's driven by any percent increase in the operating budget which was primarily two on increase or transfer the capital reserve is in great need and and the reason for the increase is that four point three percent increase in the operating budget a small increase in the village percentage of flour and then we have a drop in the  forty four here this is only one percent increase cost to the average jesus in them twenty to thirty nine years ten twenty months and in this budget seventy five percent of the budget is fixed charges we have been gallons of water and we only have one large user that's called global foundries and this is an increase of six point seven percent from last year as a lot of that has to do with the fact that they have predicted i would drop in the your usage  not not a big drop but a small drop and this this amount of money gets reconciled every year to our own account of water so we never you know we got mooses just a reconciliation meter give the money back or they pay second any further discussion all in favor ok and so now we will move on to whole business and we will set those ninety three year alarm fuser ray is increasing that's true globalfoundries is increasing by six point seven percent the wastewater treatment wholesale rate is increasing by four point nine percent  select board they came before us and they made their point it's already and they pointed max and i read it so do you want to like would you like would you mind like sort of quickly review with they did with their thoughts were sure so that the view of this is that the committee's purpose is to investigate options for intentional governance changes to compile questions that both boards may have about what our options are and to research and consult with experts on the answers and then to come back to both boards and report their findings and possibly even some recommendations based on research but it's not to make any decisions on behalf of the boards i just to get it here is that we one of the things that i had wanted to add to this was i think it would be really important for us even though all nine of us have said we support consolidation i'm a little concerned that we've created an atmosphere where it's politically incorrect to say that you don't work in solitary and so i little concerned that we we might  we're all saying we support consolidation but six months from now or nine months from now we may discover that someone has very strong feelings about particular things that are necessary they necessarily don't want to say public or they they were not would i'm getting at is i would like to know a little bit more about what's on the mind of each one of the elected officials all of us and every number of the select for about it in terms of what what do they see consolidation doing what are they willing to compromise on what are some of the things that they mean if you would compromise on for example if some people feel that under no circumstances would they want to see the essex county charter dissolve then why have yeah i hear you i wasn't quite say i would be but i did when i was a saying ok we're going to find out everything it wants but i it seems like for the last few meetings when we talked about it it's we've all we've had this we've had a whole bunch of other things on consolidation we see it going forward we all do but it i wish we could have kept that going for but just another twenty minutes here i'm saying to get to get dig down a little bit deeper not necessarily to say border the road blocks or otherwise if we don't resolve this we're not going to go forward but just to get what are what are some of the i keep going back to the my point just that i think the experts are sitting at the table right now i think the experts are on the select ward of the trustees in terms of the the sort of the text to the technical inside things we're concerned about and i'd like to just get those things out on the table before we go much further yeah i hear you're saying but i think it's premature ok to ask all of us  stepped forward and say we're not really because i think we've had that conversation multiple times first of all and it's on the record our concerns about consolidation how we came to consensus on wanting to reservations works for us so i think we have some of that on record also i think even though there may be people who say i don't want to dissolve this charter or that charter or this is what it really means to me i think we still need to do the research because we are the experts at the table here assets but the esper experts on the law are not and so i don't feel comfortable continuing this conversation a out there help because we just don't know what's legal what's not legal right in the last thing i'd like to say is i don't want to set it up in dance that someone's going to disagree about something you know they may be very set against a particular thing but then i might why do you support us all addition what is that we should your what's the most important thing you want to get out of this and what are some of the concerns you have maybe don't as i said maybe say roadblocks or not negotiable things maybe that's not the right question to say what are your thing i would add is that you mention individual military service say something in public yes i think as public officials if any of us are concerned about something that we may see not being widely except her being unpopular i other then might i would suggest maybe just this committee i mean what i guess i'm saying is that i sort of see this from our perspective doing the same generally the same thing that the select work has in mind for this little group but i would just add i would like to see the group just try to contact each person on the board in just to try to make that effort to reach out and say what do you you know take the group can figure out what the questions are what do you what do you hope to gain what do you think you know what's a timeline for you just to sort of get a general sense of where they want to go it could be worthwhile and the other discussion here ok so who wants to do this taking place here like well you know this is for the record getting out there that yeah even if we have a conversation over coffee i'm going to be taking notes it might be it might be it might be might turn out to be too impossible to do it was just a thought really i just like to dig in a little bit more of what's do exploratory interviews of the board members to see right there inserts hopes and concerns hopes concerns that these that really need to be addressed or addressed through the than i mean it's like it's kind of it's really very estimated at this point even though we're two weeks from the end of the fiscal year because we we have bills that come in all through july we're going to just give the rough numbers ok e department over budget by about thirty three thousand street budget i mean your budget by about ten thousand person raca got it over budget twenty two thousand library under was problematic it being old and trying to keep up with standards and things of that nature for those who may not know certain trucks of those size and those things those tires those axles the pumps themselves are incredibly expensive think at tire can run anywhere from nine hundred to twelve hundred  time and you just don't get them anywhere they say no it's those types of things and when you're doing it and that's one of the things that you're doing with overview goals you play that balance game could get another year out of it and put this kind of money into pretty closely trying to get it right yes ok well speaking of forty thousand dollar is above the trucks well luckily very nicely done in the seen many a community trying to save some money and go to a less expensive vehicle and appears a tad stopper for monk outlast them out  it is going to be available or shortly and therefore this proper will be served was in the process is to go to a vendor who will then market and sell it and the camera we talked a little bit about drug one seventeen construction for those at home right now this is been a long awaited resurfacing over near to eighty nine and it is going out of richmond they have started and there's anybody who has gone through there it's frustrating but it's now the village project existing project it is hard to do when you're dealing with bridges in a road that winding but they should be done this still yet this summer a new construction season and but it's been long awaited so it's going to be for a while please plan for extra time and please be careful of the others who are walking jogging biking in that area i know you're running away if you don't run other people over listening activities very seriously when people are apt to cross walks it's a caution sign that you are supposed to stop for people in the cross walks please be mindful of it and they think you're going to faint over what all mainstream would look like if there was a park all the way or you know the closing the main center if you look out the window you'll see all the little things white stripes in the goes around a man good candidates for the six library we have other interviews going on so just he's very busy working on policies etc the last one public works both the public works and highway town  the last couple weeks of the working together village tree of the town and how they do catch basins and they're working together because the tell like the way the village is doing there and they wanted all of their guys to show it make sure that your country's needs are allowing water to get into and get into the system the problem is that the vendors need a waiver from the federal and i went online to the path to post some stuff for sale and i'm not sure why but it posted and said it's just my neighborhood with me personally it posted to all of the religious neighborhoods under me a trustee trying to sell something so today i published an apology because i don't know
