department and its rescue champion sounds like he's coming right now to talk about the contract solid agreement that both organizations came work with to make this effect if for the communities you want just give us an overview or something where sure so basically meeting to clarify that so we will be going out six rescue for the jericho portion of it and basically what it is it is we have a person forty three hours a week that will attend the work eight hour day monday wednesday thursday and friday on tuesday they have an extended day due to our training they will attend i go there to fire training most tuesday nights there's one tuesday night a mon essex rescue is going to they are in the process of bringing a person on board to say be the crew captain for this team billons five days a week so they're hiring another full time employee to have a crew captain out here not the person they're hiring to be out here five days a week but they're hiring another crew captain full time to be able to have a paid captain out here right now they're running on pretty and they want  employ so they're doing app or shove it along the way that asks rescuers going has committed to do everything they can do with their volunteer organization to have a second person out here two to three days and the reason for that is that the fire department needs this other this employee the second employee to be able to be out in the communities doing pre planned clearing hydrants maintaining dry hydrants looking at development reviews you know coming to visit the town hall to look at paperwork do whatever it is that they need to do rescue they have a goal to have the ambulance on the road in three minutes or so from here to the fire station even responding with lights and sirens would take longer than three minutes especially if the weather is bad so the days that rescue doesn't have a second person here that person will be at the station doing work completely at the station so they're available to drop so we've figured out a balance there where hopefully we can everybody can get the maximum mile from this point the stuff that we need done and the stuff that they need that person's going to be a very busy person with all the duties that they're going to have carson inspection rick checks work for us in the fire department around the station out of the station all that stuff they'll have a busy day every day they have a weekends right now we don't have any we can coverage ok it is still all volunteer on the weekend and that is something that we are working we're reviewing what are the different schedules that we could have with these employees to have coverage seven days a week during the day so with that we're going to have a lot of volunteers we can practice up typically the weekend two weekends are not an issue right typically weekends are not an issue and  know if it happens to be a day that we don't have a lot of people mutually department usually do so you know we had to call our six or cambridge and we've been a little like staffed on a weekend and they come with all kinds of people the same thing for us to them you know they've had to call us just look someone is able to drive jump in and drive on the weekend while the rescue doesn't have the rig staffed on saturday and sunday either ok so on saturday and sunday the response is still from you know if we took our if we took harry and put him on a fourteen hour day three ten hour day a you know three twelve hour days rotation schedule all very somber trying to figure out how we can do this and what's feasible and not feasible and is it worth it is it will the employees burn out you know those kinds of things so we're rescuers working along with us to look at that model to figure out how we can get seventy we are providing a person to act as the driver of the ambulance or off in under him so it's that's really the agreement right that this person is one of their primary duties is to be the driver  right now we don't currently allow that with harry because then that leaves the town with nobody here those three areas transporting somebody from the town that's a different story taking care of a citizen of underling care and that's the whole thing  so this impulse harry will still be here to provide first response coverage to him so any and we say harry in the second employee i mean there may be some interchange there right harry may go on the ambulance one day and the second employee stays in town to provide that person's funds coverage you know it's not we're not trying to use names because we want to have the best fish right it may be the type of call where harry is better suited with his skills to be in the ambulance then it is for the up for the other person so you know we're trying to look at the best scenario for the person would be great if you get someone to drive right for the weekends then you could have volunteers the in the rig yeah i don't know that actually  provide volunteer coverage or staffing on that we convert to gap and i think i can make that statement for them i don't know that they can do that so i know that we've thrown it out there because we want to start working towards that same day but we do time coverage very strong out there at rescue understanding that rescues in a little bit of a shake up at this point you know they're trying they're trying to hire this fo fifth's person that there are executive director step down so they're in the process of interviewing for another executive director at this point so they're their board of directors is really busy at this point so we and we've been working on getting disagreement in place and now the disagreement is in place they're moving on and we'll start talking about basically when the new executive director gets in we'll talk about extended coverage and ways to achieve that with this could be an to do this there was some a lot of discussion after town meeting bradley and to mcnulty from jericho came forward to us and said look guys we need a solid written signed agreement between the two organizations before you can have any money so hence the paperwork that you have in front of you now that is that agreement ok so that's that's the gist of it right there's a lot of different specific duties as to what we're looking for in a person we want the people that apply for this job to understand that it is firefighting it is a medical response it is a ministry to duties record keeping paperwork  shoveling a hydrants grass cutting snow plowing we want somebody to recognize that this is not just a you're going to sit around in the station now wear and hang out and wait for the tones to go off there they're going to be busy done with harry where harry started in where we've moved to we're starting range we've got a member we talked about dating you know like trying to educate the public on for the voters about how the whole thing kind of came about you know the history of you know before harry and then harry came and then what these duties were and now this you know to try and sort of time on it so people can understand what what's i think the we were considering putting it in our in your report for the town report next year yeah basically that synopsis writer will have a little bit longer report for the fire department for rescue this year but we'll put that out there to you know how where we started you know where we are now and what we're looking to do in the future you know by extending coverage to seven days a week during the daytime and then beyond that looking at how we get you know staff the ambulance in underhill in jericho there are twenty four hours a day to write what steps can we save they have to start getting there you know rescue is working very hard recruiting people they did have a crew that spent the night at the station up here last night so had there been a call in town last night and was coming under so they're able to do it on a few nights a week depending upon staffing and vacations and ambulance is out of out of assets on a call and there's a second call in a crew captain and a driver sign on out here the ambulance can come from out of here if there is no coop crew captain driver that sign on then the jumpers go direct to believe all the jumpers out here are qualified drivers got you so they for our area all the jumpers are qualified to go to so in there are a few of us on the fire department that are also qualified drivers recognize that i have a scene is was just basically a review you guys have asked that we come to you you know with an agreement between the two organizations yes if you guys are looking to do you know basically had not yet we think you guys are on the working and want to just mention changes if any are necessary we didn't want to say oh well we're going to wait six months because we're busy you know we both sides were kind of like you know we want because it's working really well for one of the other might you know with your well yeah you know you know we basically want to know that you guys are going to be able to release the money that was allocated in the budget to they're there's a lot of local people that have asked about this position they don't work here they were out of town out of state that are both rescue and we feel are extremely qualified for this position they want to come back and they want to work here close to home you know i don't think it's going to take that long to get a person on board once we did get this like course and say yeah go ahead through it it's just so it's it sounds more complicated than it needs to be to me i thought we were just kind of pointing out to them hate we used to pay   you know for that particular period for this one year period that we're talking about this this is how the payments were to strange opening to me it seems i always want to make sure that we're able to keep that option and this flexible possible and it sounds to me like it's definitely set for another period of time where from what i understand the option if we decide not to pursue the option we would have the ability to talk it i think it's lawyer reason maybe i'm not understanding and plainly and he may say well you can say that but you still have that option and i'm speaking of you i mean so so i just stuff well if you're what you're saying you are extending it from one year and that's why they paid with the right eye and so basically what they did was just not they just didn't pay their tax for that but there was nothing specifically in their tax bill last year when they got it but saying anything paragraph refers to that i see ok yeah yeah i am i'm especially with taxes being quarterly i couldn't see why we shouldn't be it just it ties us into this thing for a year we're kind of handing over the money when i think they're playing it smack that's what our contract says they're agreed but their contract can also and any time from my understanding so i don't want to give anybody money if the contract was going to this school year thirteen expenditures that fifty thousand dollars on our budget that we presented last year one of the lines we would get money from said that we would probably use fifty thousand dollars of this year surplus so that's  it's pretty pretty shocking it was a lot higher oh but of course i think a lot of these situations like a road commissioner i think they have that title but they're actually they're like part of the real high populations i can find these your books i'm sorry i'm forty five hundred forty ok georgia town oh yeah so that's that particular i know for a fact that that particular person is a slight board member change and i have to notify the disability insurance company because it's based on that all this is just this is the only one yeah so what is the deal with this take over oh it's a changed man sold the property to the new owner r he's reading at the proposal he thought that he could do one of those two days but wasn't sure which one yes it's going to get back to me but i'm going to try to get him on the sixteen test are you able to get any information i haven't ok but i can help with that you know i've got it partially drafted i didn't have that piece so it's not ready for signature that's fine with the other question i have with this is  we would be interested in i would say yes but then go through the proper write that's how this would be for this like they're not they're not they know they have to go through proper channels they're just saying if if they go to the planning commission in the planning commissions trying to see if there's any information they can gather from other people here in town as far as residents feelings about the trail system i have to serve positive things i think cambridge cambridge hates money and put a know that's just my feeling with movable signs up this year concerns with the cross walk here from town hall between here in the park the one from the post office you can see talking to me before the meeting he was saying that there is someone scheduled to get into the window yeah there you go pope that's from june twenty ninth i sorry yes i make a motion to approve the minutes from june twenty ninth any safety equipment or safety yeah you know we could have one of our safety consultants come out look around like a
